Arriving from the backstage to the auditorium, Bae Zhuhyun's assistant was very discerning and had already reserved seats for them, so when Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu came over, they had a place right in front with a good view to sit.
Li Chenglu's question stuck at an embarrassing point for Liu Xin'an.
In fact, he has watched a lot of direct-shot videos of his girlfriends. It is very enjoyable to watch the dazzling Bae Zhuhyun on the stage, not to mention that he is Bae Zhuhyun's boyfriend.
As soon as he saw those barrages calling his wife and Sister Pei frantically, he felt extremely proud.
But he didn't pay much attention to the cheering chants from the fans below the stage.
"Uh, it's not going to be a big meeting, why should I shout too?"
Liu Xin'an was a little embarrassed.
It's his second time.
Yes, this is the second time I have seen Red Velvet live on stage.
The first time he saw them perform was at the S-M Family concert, and it was also the first time he knew Bae Zhuhyun's identity.
Today, half a year later, is the second time he has watched Bae Zhuhyun and others perform off the stage.
Liu Xin'an, who had absolutely no experience watching live performances, simply didn't understand the mood of those who cheered at the top of their lungs.
Including the previous programs he participated in, at that time he spent more time off the stage rather than in the audience.
You can also see the scene through real-time shooting and monitoring in the background.
Now Li Chenglu asked him to hold his neck and cheer like a fan.
It’s true that he is a fan, but he really can’t let it go.
"Shout, it's very simple, just follow the rhythm of everyone and shout, Irene, Seulgi, that's it."
Li Chenglu glanced at Liu Xin'an and whispered instructions to this new fan.
Then, Li Chenglu suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
They went directly to the backstage to meet Bae Zhuhyun and the others through the back door, which meant that they did not go through the front door at all and did not receive any support items.
Generally speaking, fans who come to participate in live singing support will be given some support items, such as banners and light sticks. It is very difficult for Bae Zhuhyun and others on the stage to see clearly in the audience.
On the stage, their eyes are so bright that they can hardly see the audience clearly.
So if fans want to let Bae Zhuhyun and the others see themselves, they must rely on support items to support them.
"Can I still get banners and glow sticks now?"
Li Chenglu looked at Liu Xin'an and murmured.
What answered her was Liu Xin'an's clear and sharp shaking of his head.
"how could I know."
"Assi."
It's such a dereliction of duty. As a huge fan of Red Velvet and a rare fan who can participate in a live singing recording, she didn't even prepare the most basic support items.
With his head bent, Li Chenglu suddenly heard a timid female voice.
"Sister, don't you have any support?"
A girl who looked like a student sitting next to Li Chenglu suddenly spoke to her.
Li Chenglu looked at the other party, nodded, and showed an awkward smile.
"Um"
"Then I'll give this to you."
The girl who spoke lowered her head and rummaged through her bag, then quickly took out a spare light stick and handed it to Li Chenglu.
Li Chenglu's eyes lit up and she became visibly excited.
"Is it really possible?"
"Yeah! Because my sister is also a fan of Red Velvet, right?"
“Total fan!”
"That's okay. I didn't know I could get these when I came to see the stage for the first time. It's okay to use this for you." The young girl smiled shyly, and then she leaned forward slightly and looked.
She asked the man next to Li Chenglu, "Isn't this uncle here too?"
The expression on Liu Xin'an's face froze.
Because of the mask, the change in his expression was not noticed by the young girl.
But Li Chenglu, who was familiar with him, immediately discovered his embarrassment, and there was no need to notice it at all.
"Uncle hahahahahahaha."
The ruthless ridicule made Liu Xin'an even more embarrassed.
Probably because Li Chenglu smiled a little too much, the girl who was kind enough to talk to her was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Li Chenglu is still there.
Social phobia - being so social that it makes others feel afraid.
She hugged the little sister's shoulders and gave her a thumbs up affectionately.
"Well said sister."
"I'm sorry, sister, I shouldn't have said that about your boyfriend."
"Ah, we are not boyfriends, we are siblings."
"Oh, what about this gentleman?" She took out a light stick again and handed it to Liu Xin'an.
Although being called uncle made Liu Xin'an very helpless, Liu Xin'an did not intend to refuse the little fan's kindness.
The exposed deep eyes were filled with a hint of smile. It was at this time that this little fan finally noticed Liu Xin'an's good looks.
"Thank you, I will put it to good use."
"It doesn't matter."
"Ah, it hurts. Sister Zhuhyun, why are you pinching me?"
Son Seung-wan, who was chatting happily with Kang Seul-gi on the side, suddenly screamed, and then hurriedly patted Bae Joo-hyun's little hand that was holding her arm.
As for Bae Joo Hyun?
They will be on stage soon, so they are at the exit not far from the stage.
As luck would have it, they happened to be in a position where they could see Liu Xin'an.
Her eyesight was pretty good, so she saw all the interactions between Liu Xin'an and the female fan.
Of course, it is very embarrassing to be jealous of a young fan, so Bae Zhuhyun will never admit that she is actually jealous.
She was just angry that Liu Xin'an didn't even prepare their support items, right!
Son Seungwan's pitiful voice also made Jiang Seulgi and others subconsciously look at Bae Zhuhyun. When they saw Bae Zhuhyun looking straight in one direction, they also looked over, and then showed a knowing smile.
"What's wrong with Liu Xin'an? Sister Zhuxun, you're so angry."
"This guy didn't even prepare our reinforcements."
She looked away dissatisfied and muttered softly.
"That's it?" Several sisters looked at each other in confusion. Is this something worth getting angry about?
"Aren't you angry?"
"Well, it's okay. Speaking of which, is Liu Xin'an considered a fan of ours? He should be considered a fan of yours, Sister Zhuxun, right?"
"Stop joking, what kind of fan is a fan who lures his idol away? How can he be considered a fan? At most, he is considered a passerby?"
Sun Shengwan shook her head, she was absolutely unwilling to acknowledge Liu Xin'an as a fan.
This guy hasn't even heard a few of their songs.
I know the song "Psycho" every day!
"Indeed, only Sister Cheng Lu can be considered a fan."
Several people nodded in succession, looking very reasonable. Pei Zhuxuan did not say anything. After all, this was not what she really cared about in the first place.
Soon, with the arrangement of the program team, Bae Zhuhyun and others appeared on the stage with the cheers of fans.
At the beginning, they went through the rehearsal process. The music of "Queendom" sounded, and Bae Zhuhyun and others began to separate from the queue and began to carry out simple process rehearsals in accordance with the flow of the show.
Although it was not a formal pre-recording, the cheers from the fans in the audience still made Bae Zhuhyun and others on the stage very happy.
The deafening cheers shocked Liu Xin'an who looked up at the people below the stage. He fixed his eyes on his girlfriend and gently waved the light stick in his hand.
Soon, the process rehearsal ended, Bae Zhuhyun and others returned to the backstage, and another group of artists appeared on the stage.
Since it's a process, it's definitely not just Bae Zhuhyun and others who come out to cooperate. There are also other groups who come to sing together for today's show.
But it is a pity that although it is only the first week of comeback, it is not an exaggeration to say that Red velvet’s performance has already determined the first place for this comeback.
Therefore, the other groups that will come to sing with Red Velvet this time will most likely come to accompany them.
After a while, the process of this unknown group was completed, and after confirming that there were no problems with the program process, the pre-recording of Bae Zhuhyun and others officially began.
Under the intentional guidance of the program team, Liu Xin'an could clearly feel the surging enthusiasm of the fans in his position.
For fans of Red Velvet, this return after two years has really been something they have been looking forward to for a long time.
At this time, the long-lost stage finally reappeared. How could this not make them feel excited?
"Queens~"
The moment the song "Queendom" sounded in the venue, the screams that far exceeded those during the rehearsal just startled Liu Xin'an.
"Ahhhh!!"
"Eileen!!"
Sitting next to him, Li Chenglu also held up the light stick in her hand and shouted Bae Zhuhyun's stage name. Liu Xin'an was particularly shocked by her excitement.
This was the first time he saw Li Chenglu in a star-chasing state.
What can I say? He knew his childhood friend quite well. Although he knew that this person was a fanatic star chaser, he still underestimated Li Chenglu's fanaticism in chasing stars.
As the music sounded, the members on the stage began to dance briskly to the music.
For them, dancing to the beat has already become their muscle memory. The practice of these six months has never been in vain. The huge amount of practice has already enabled them to find a familiar position and perform the action the moment the music sounds.
Appropriate movements, controlled expressions, and shots that constantly change camera positions.
Changing with the rhythm of the music Not only Bae Zhuhyun and others who exude endless charm on the stage, but the fans in the audience also change their cheering slogans in time with the rhythm of the music.
During the music part, the fans' uniform support once again opened Liu Xin'an's eyes. He was immersed in admiring the stage. Unknowingly, his lips that were always pursed were slightly opened to match the fans in the audience.
shouting, shouting the names of Pei Zhuhyun and others.
After a long time, the song ended. On the stage, Bae Zhuhyun opened and closed her pink lips and calmed down her violent breathing.
There was a bright smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes were constantly patrolling under the stage, but unfortunately, it was not easy to find Liu Xin'an's exact position in the bright light.
"You can leave now."
When the sound of program scheduling sounded in the venue, Bae Zhuhyun and others uniformly bowed to thank the fans who had worked hard to support them under the stage. Their sincere actions also made the fans scream together again.
After Pei Zhuhyun and others left the stage, Liu Xin'an looked at the empty stage in a daze. The pink scenery still seemed to remind him of the way Pei Zhuhyun and others were active on the stage just now.
But when the staff came on stage and started preparing to change the scenery, the fans in the audience began to be dissatisfied.
Generally speaking, there are one or two opportunities for pre-recording.
It's rare that a pre-recording is passed perfectly, so the show will give artists one or two opportunities to try and make mistakes.
For example, if there is any stage accident, you can re-record it.
Obviously, the five members of Red Velvet performed to a very high level in their first pre-recording.
The uniform dance and movements also brought a perfect audio-visual feast to the fans who came to watch the recording.
But how could it be possible that this is all fans want?
"Encore!"
"Encore!"
"Encore!"
The dissatisfied fans began to shout for the encore, hoping that Red Velvet would return to the stage to show off its charm.
The encore sound that echoed throughout the whole process also made Bae Zhuhyun and others who returned to the stage to drink water to replenish their strength became a little anxious.
As the backbone, Bae Zhuhyun put down the cup in her hand and walked towards Cheng Taeqian.
"Brother Taiqian, come with me and talk to the film crew."
"This time it's perfect. Do you want to continue on stage?"
"Well if that's okay."
Cheng Taiqian could understand the mood of Pei Zhuhyun and others. He nodded and did not refuse. Instead, he cooperated and brought Pei Zhuhyun to the vicinity of the film crew.
"Director, can you let the children jump up again? They are not very satisfied with the performance this time."
The director of Music Bank also knew Sung Tae-cheon. After all, this was not the first time they had collaborated. In addition, the recording pressure today was not that great, and Bae Zhuhyun and the others did have the right, so he did not object much and nodded readily.
"Okay, the prop team will restore the scene and let Red Velvet do it again."
After he gave the order, he raised his eyebrows slightly at Cheng Taiqian: "You guys did very well this time. I guess one of them will be yours for a while in the future."
Judging from the results of Red Velvet this time, it is not very difficult to get the first place for three consecutive weeks.
There are a total of four programs where singing can be performed, including KBS's Music Bank, MBC's Music Center, SBS's Inkigayo, and Ment's MCD. Their results this time are consecutive wins in these four programs.
Two weeks is not a very difficult task.
In other words, from August to September this year, the whole of Korea should be swept by a craze called "Queendom".
"It's mostly due to their efforts."
"Thank you, director." Pei Zhuxuan also showed a humble smile and thanked her.
"It's okay. It was already perfect that time. This time I'm just going to give you a little more of a stage feel. Come on, Eileen."
"yes!"
As soon as Bae Zhuhyun responded, the excited cheers of fans rang out again from the stage nearby.
It seemed that the prop team responsible for changing the scenery stopped what they were doing, which also convinced fans that their protest was effective.
———
Finally, after their second performance, Bae Zhuhyun and others bowed again to the fans off the stage to thank them.
This time, fans did not continue to make trouble. Fans who watched two high-quality performances in a row were satisfied.
Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu also stood up immediately after Pei Zhuxuan and others stepped down.
The two of them first returned the light stick to the fan whose face was still flushed with excitement, and Li Chenglu casually handed the small card that he had just received from Jiang Seulqi to the little fan.
Before the other party could recover, the two left the recording scene and walked toward the backstage.
After arriving at the lounge of Bae Zhuhyun and others without any obstruction, Li Chenglu was the first to excitedly walk towards Jiang Seulqi and others who had just returned.
And Liu Xin'an also walked up to Pei Zhuxuan. He had not yet recovered from the afterglow of excitement, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Looking at the woman in front of him who exuded infinite charm on the stage just now, Liu Xin'an opened his mouth, but in the end it just turned into a smile. He felt all over his body before taking out a pack of tissues from his pocket.
subsequently
"Can you sign your name for me?"
Pei Zhuhyun burst into laughter, and her beautiful smile, like a hundred flowers in bloom, made Liu Xin'an lose his mind.
"What, you're getting so weird, hey~"
She raised her white little hand, waved it in front of Liu Xin'an with a smile, and successfully called back the absent-minded Liu Xin'an.
After regaining consciousness, Liu Xin'an showed an embarrassed smile, but still passed the tissue in his hand forward.
"Do you really want to sign?"
"Well, if that's okay."
"What? That's weird." Although Liu Xin'an felt strange, Pei Zhuxuan still picked up her bag and found a black pen from it. She carefully spread the tissue on the table, skillfully and
Write your name gently on the toilet paper.
Then, under Liu Xin'an's expectant gaze, she picked up the tissue with both hands and carefully handed it back to the familiar man in front of her.
After Liu Xin'an solemnly put away the tissue with his signature, Pei Zhuxuan reached out and patted Liu Xin'an's chest with a smile on his face.
"What's wrong? It's weird."
"Well, I just suddenly feel that you are a bit strange."
Liu Xin'an didn't hide his feelings too much. He looked down at Pei Zhuxuan in front of him and said in a somewhat dazed voice.
When he actually watched the big star Irene shine on the stage as an audience, he understood firsthand why Bae Zhuhyun is loved by so many fans.
Especially when he was infected by the fans around him and unconsciously followed the fans in chanting their names on the stage.
"Strange?" Pei Zhuxuan was stunned. This was an answer that was beyond his expectation.
She looked at Li Chenglu on the side, trying to find the answer from Li Chenglu, but at this time, Li Chenglu was having a lively chat with Jiang Seulqi and others, and did not notice her at all.
There was no other way, Pei Zhuxuan had no choice but to look at Liu Xin'an again.
This time she easily saw Liu Xin'an's strange eyes, and then, her heart tightened, and she stretched out her hand to pull Liu Xin'an, who was always one step away from her, in front of her.
Then, she opened her arms and hugged the man's waist tightly, pressed her palm-sized face against her body, and raised her head slightly.
"I'm your girlfriend, you don't have to think about it, you know?"
