Chapter 191
Gu Beihuai was also watching videos, and occasionally went to other platforms to see the latest news.
Sure enough, the brick fans' collective celebration and blessing activities had a great impact, because there were too many!
Tens of thousands of blessing videos were released at the same time, attracting official attention.
A very influential official blog reposted the launch video of this event and commented——
【Correct fan guidance, reasonable celebration activities, sincere high school blessings! Positive energy!】
Gu Beihuai's eyes lit up, and then he went on a small number and urged the brick fans to hurry up and repost.
Nan XiangWan's positive energy label was officially recognized!
This is very beneficial to her future career development!
However, right after Gu Beihuai had just reposted, he swiped to another news headline.
【The first student to leave the college entrance examination venue somersaulted to celebrate [Photo]】
Gu Beihuai clicked to take a look. This was not the little cub next door to his house!
Moreover, the photos were taken very professionally.
Nan XiangWan flipped high in the air with an excited expression, looking like she had done very well in the exam!
Mischievous news!
Gu Beihuai sighed. As expected, being serious didn't last more than three seconds before the funny follow-up would immediately follow.
Below, a large number of people were already leaving messages.
Various 666 flooded the screen!
Nan XiangWan went viral again!
The first student to leave the college entrance examination site, she somersaulted!
......
Nan XiangWan was really happy after finishing the college entrance examination. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally didn't have to study anymore!
Happily, she ate eight bowls of rice!
But then the phone rang immediately.
Zhao Tiancheng's call seemed to be timed, just as Nan XiangWan had just finished dinner!
She hadn't even had time to get up from the table yet!
Zhao Tiancheng: "You've finished the exam, right? No matter how you did, go back to Magic Capital immediately!"
Nan XiangWan: "......"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Tomorrow is June 10th, the concert, the first concert of Tianming Girl Group, very important! Be sure there are no mistakes! It starts at 8pm!"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Your teammates have all rehearsed on site today. You hurry up and take a look at the venue, rehearse tomorrow during the day! It's going to be on in the evening! There are also the 11th and 12th, three variety shows to attend in two days! And there are follow-ups..."
Nan XiangWan didn't hear the rest.
Damn, I just finished the college entrance exam, haven't had time to relax yet, and I have to hurry up again?
And from the looks of it, because she was preparing for the exam before, the group activities of the girl group had almost come to a standstill. Except for the concert, her teammates were developing in their personal directions.
Now that the college entrance exam is over, Zhao Tiancheng has immediately scheduled it full!
Tianming Girl Group assemble!
After hanging up the phone.
Nan XiangWan hadn't caught her breath yet when her war buddy's phone call came in again.
Connected.
Gu Beihuai: "Who were you talking to just now?"
Nan XiangWan: "President Zhao, I have to go back to Magic Capital to rehearse."
Gu Beihuai: "Oh, right, I'm also calling to tell you about this."
He was talking nonsense. The affairs of Tianming Girl Group were all handled by Zhao Tiancheng. He didn't pay attention at all.
He only paid attention to Nan XiangWan's big event in life, the college entrance exam was one.
Nan XiangWan: "Ah! I'm so busy!"
There was a hint of tension in Gu Beihuai's tone: "Are you coming back tonight? Not staying with your parents for a night?"
Nan XiangWan: "I have to hurry back now to see the concert venue. Rehearse tomorrow during the day."
Gu Beihuai's voice seemed to relax: "Well, I'll wait for you at home."
Nan XiangWan: "Huh? Something?"
Gu Beihuai: "To celebrate you finishing the college entrance exam?"
Nan XiangWan: "Wow! That's great!"
Gu Beihuai: "Okay, you're busy first, let me know when you get home tonight."
Nan XiangWan: "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone.
Nan XiangWan looked up to see three pairs of eyes staring straight at her.
Especially Nan ChaoYang, his eyes were almost spewing fire!
Xin Zi coughed lightly and said nothing.
Nan Song frowned and asked, "Judging by the voice, both calls were from male friends?"
Although he couldn't hear the content, but being close, he could hear whether it was male or female on the phone!
What kind of messy people did his daughter get to know outside?
What's going on!
Nan XiangWan: "Yeah, the boss I work with and the president of the company urged me about the concert."
Nan Song breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and his smile returned immediately: "So that's what it was. Good girl Xiao Wan is really working hard, going to work right after taking the college entrance exam."
Xin Zi was still unhappy, and was about to ask questions.
Beep——beep——
Nan XiangWan's phone rang again!
Connected, it was Cheng Xue calling.
Cheng Xue: "Boss Nan, the college entrance examination results are out!"
Nan XiangWan: "Thank you, I'm sure to be the city champion."
Cheng Xue didn't expect the boss to be so confident and straightforward, was caught off guard for a moment, and almost forgot what she was going to say next.
Cheng Xue: "Well, Boss Nan, since your college entrance exams are over, you have more free time, right? The company has started arranging your personal schedule!"
Under Cheng Xue's arrangement, Zhu Sha had already appeared on several variety shows with her face revealed, and performed quite well!
Apart from preparing for the concert, she was currently the second most popular member of Tianming Girl Group.
Nan XiangWan had been busy with the college entrance exam all this time, and had not taken the initiative to show her face in public so far.
If this continues for a long time, it will be very detrimental to the development of an artist's career.
Nan XiangWan: "Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."
She trusted Cheng Xue to arrange her schedule and take on business deals.
Professionals should do professional work!
Nan XiangWan fully listened to Cheng Xue's arrangements in this regard, and tried her best to be an artist with career aspirations.
Hearing this, Cheng Xue was relieved. She was afraid the boss would refuse to work.
However, whether it was variety shows or business deals, Cheng Xue would strictly screen them!
That kind of messy show would never allow Nan XiangWan to get involved.
After all, she was still the boss of Huawan Entertainment!
After hanging up the phone.
The words Xin Zi wanted to say were swallowed back. The way she looked at her daughter was full of distress.
She had just finished the college entrance exam and had already taken three work calls?
Her daughter was too busy!
Nan Song guessed and asked, "A manager?"
Nan XiangWan nodded: "Well, Sister Cheng Xue, very capable."
Nan Song sighed without saying anything.
Nan ChaoYang lowered his head and continued to poke at his rice.
Unhappy!
Big sister is leaving again!
It was half an hour later that assistant Xiao Dong arrived downstairs.
Nan Song, Xin Zi and Nan ChaoYang, the three of them sent Nan XiangWan downstairs. The parents were reluctant, almost crying holding their daughter's hands.
Nan ChaoYang stood silently on the side, face sullen without saying a word.
Nan XiangWan moved the gifts from fans into the car one by one, with Xiao Dong also helping.
And so, the two of them hauled a car full of small gifts back to Magic Capital like transporting cargo!
On the way, Xiao Dong drove in front.
Nan XiangWan sat in the back unpacking gifts while yelling excitedly.
"Chocolate! Nice!"
"This dress is so beautiful!"
"Wow what's this? Oh oh handicraft."
"Uh, why are fans still sending me books when I'm done with exams? Help!"
"......"
Xiao Dong smiled as he drove. Boss Nan really had amazing energy.
Others could hardly wait to sleep for three days and nights after finishing the college entrance exam, but she still had the energy to complain after finishing the exam!
Chapter 192
Today is the first day after the end of the college entrance exam, and the highway was already congested that night!
It took Nan XiangWan and Xiao Dong over three hours just to get off the highway, and over an hour more to reach their destination.
The concert venue was set up at Magic City Grand Stage, the same place as the night they debuted as a group.
Late at night, the staff were still busy.
Equipment big and small were being hurriedly arranged and tuned.
When Nan XiangWan arrived, the crystal piano brought by Hua Wan Entertainment had just been moved in as well.
Shao Fu personally brought people to deliver it, and when Zhao Tiancheng tried to touch the piano, he was almost dragged out and beaten by Shao Fu.
No touching allowed!
The tuner was ready and very nervous during tuning.
It was a piano worth over 20 million yuan!
This was the most expensive piano the tuner had ever tuned!
After tuning the piano, Nan XiangWan sat down and tried playing it.
The bass notes were mellow, and the treble notes crisp.
With the perfect tones and gorgeous looks, it was as if the piano had come alive!
Nan XiangWan's fingers danced across the black and white keys, playing the melody of "RainCat".
Orange Xue, who was there, recorded a video of this scene. She felt that even without makeup, Nan XiangWan just sitting there quietly playing the piano was especially beautiful.
Zhao Tiancheng looked at the time and hurriedly went up to urge: "Nan XiangWan, try out the other equipment and take a walk around to check things out."
Nan XiangWan got up and inspected the venue.
There didn't seem to be any major issues, the specifics could be dealt with during rehearsal.
Just as she was about to leave, Zhao Tiancheng grabbed her back: "Do you think you have time? Have you done your hair yet?"
Nan XiangWan: "???"
So Nan XiangWan was pushed back into the dressing room.
As soon as she entered, she saw Jing Da Shuai's people on one side and Monica's people on the other, with a wide open space in between. The atmosphere was tense as if they were about to start a war!
As soon as Nan XiangWan came in, she immediately broke this confrontational atmosphere.
Jing Da Shuai pressed her into the chair first: "I'm dying your hair black."
Monica was anxious and jumped up: "Dye it black, dye it black! After dyeing it black how are you going to do the other hairstyles? Wear wigs?"
Jing Da Shuai: "You can use wig pieces, add a few clips in, the point is she has to have long straight black hair for her solo stage this time!"
Monica: "What can match with black? The colorful design I originally planned is ruined by you!"
Jing Da Shuai: "I don't care, I'm responsible for her solo segment, so mine takes priority."
The two argued fiercely.
Nan XiangWan spoke up to interrupt them: "Um, I'm short on time, could you hurry up and get it done."
It was already very late, and she was a little sleepy.
Without another word, Jing Da Shuai started coloring!
Dyeing it black!
Monica was so angry her nostrils flared as she stormed out slamming the door.
Jing Da Shuai hummed smugly: "Stupid woman challenging me."
Nan XiangWan: "......"
As he worked, Jing Da Shuai chatted: "Your teammates have all finished their hair, just need styling tomorrow. You came so late, no rush at all."
Nan XiangWan didn't respond.
Jing Da Shuai: "Speaking of which, your solo song choice is really great, I almost cried listening to it."
Nan XiangWan still didn't respond.
Sensing something off, Jing Da Shuai looked in the mirror.
Well!
She fell asleep!
When she woke up again, it was already past two in the morning.
Nan XiangWan moved her shoulders and looked at herself in the mirror.
Beside her, Jing Da Shuai was packing up: "How is it, good looking right?"
Nan XiangWan shook her head: "Huh?"
It wasn't just pure black!
Mixed in the black were strands that shone.
Jing Da Shuai proudly explained: "Pure black wouldn't stand out on stage, but I wanted to emphasize the long straight black hair effect, so for every ten strands I picked one and dyed it silver."
Nan XiangWan: "Strand by strand..."
Each one dyed individually?
My god!
No wonder it took so long!
Jing Da Shuai went forward and brushed aside her hair: "This way under the stage lights your hair can shine black!"
Nan XiangWan expressed admiration.
He really wasn't afraid of trouble!
Finally finished with her hair, by the time Nan XiangWan returned to Ji Mansion it was already 2:30 in the morning.
Luckily she had slept during the dye job, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to take even a single step right now from fatigue.
Going up in the elevator, opening the door, entering the house.
Click!
The smart home lighting turned on automatically.
Nan XiangWan went upstairs, wanting to go through the garden to her friend's house.
She had already messaged her friend earlier in the car, so going directly over now shouldn't be a problem.
But what she didn't expect was that her friend had already come over.
Gu Beihuai climbed over the 1.5 meter high fence, holding a small cake as he came to Nan XiangWan's rooftop garden.
Nan XiangWan: "Wow!"
Gu Beihuai put the cake down on the vine table in the garden, handing her a small spoon: "Here."
Nan XiangWan: "This is the celebration?"
There was some disappointment in her eyes.
Gu Beihuai: "Not satisfied?"
Nan XiangWan: "I thought there would be a barbecue or something."
Gu Beihuai smiled: "And beer to go with it right?"
Nan XiangWan: "I actually would want to drink some if I could."
Gu Beihuai pushed the cake towards Nan XiangWan: "It's an ice cream cake, I made it specially for you."
Nan XiangWan was surprised: "You made it yourself? You can make cake too?!"
Gu Beihuai: "Just learned it."
Nan XiangWan took out her phone to take pictures. The cake was quite small, only 7 inches, layers of ice cream stacked up.
There was writing on it too - "Congratulations to Nan XiangWan on excelling in the college exam".
Nan XiangWan posted the cake photos on Weibo.
Gu Beihuai urged: "Try it quickly, the ice cream is going to melt."
Nan XiangWan: "Oh, okay."
She started eating!
Just as she was about to dig out a huge spoonful and stuff it in her mouth, Gu Beihuai swiftly reached out to stop her!
Nan XiangWan: "???"
Gu Beihuai helplessly said: "This is a pure ice cream cake, it's too cold to eat like that, take small bites."
Nan XiangWan: "!!"
Small bites wasn't her style!
So she shook off Gu Beihuai's hand and stubbornly shoved that huge spoonful into her mouth.
Gu Beihuai: "......"
This little rascal!
As Nan XiangWan ate, cold or not, she was definitely going to take big bites.
In the end, when she was halfway done, Gu Beihuai confiscated the cake.
He wouldn't let her eat any more!
Nan XiangWan: "You made this cake for me yet won't let me finish eating it?"
Gu Beihuai: "You can't eat ice cream like that, do you want to get diarrhea?"
Nan XiangWan: "We'd still be good friends if you didn't mention diarrhea."
Gu Beihuai: "I'm doing this for your own good!"
Nan XiangWan: "Give me back the cake!"
She tried to grab it.
Gu Beihuai held the cake and dodged.
The two scuffled playfully, acting out a game of chase in the garden!
In the end they made such a ruckus that the cake completely melted, dripping all over Gu Beihuai's hand.
Nan XiangWan looked at him solemnly: "Bro, your skills are pretty good."
Gu Beihuai: "You're not too shabby either."
It really was unbelievable!
The little rascal's strength had increased again, and her speed had also improved considerably.
After going back and forth several times, when Nan XiangWan grabbed for him, Gu Beihuai felt her arms were as hard as iron rods!
At this rate of improvement, Nan XiangWan's physique would soon surpass Gu Beihuai's.
Ridiculous!
Chapter 193
Nan XiangWan ate ice cream in the evening, moved her muscles and bones, and went to bed happily.
Gu Beihuai cleaned up the table and then went to wash his sticky hands.
He will never make ice cream for Nan XiangWan again!
On the Internet.
There were also many night owls who didn't sleep late at night.
When they saw that Nan XiangWan had actually posted a blog at half past two in the morning, the bricks were so excited!
Rush in and grab the hot spots!
There are fewer people now, first come first served!
Don't look at the content and swipe a bunch of emoji first!
After swiping, look back at the pictures, only to find out it was a birthday cake.
Oh oh, the bricks re-sent it.
A lot of blessings!
The bricks here are very harmonious, and another batch of CP fans save the pictures and send them to the group, and then enlarge and enlarge them.
Microscopic observation!
[Nan Wang Beidi szd group]
'Dream back to human ancestral times: Friends, I enlarged this picture and there doesn't seem to be any problem, I can't trace the source.'
'Holding the CP flag high (not daring to expose the CP name): Hurry up! The Gu Beihuai fans group next door exploded!'
'Dream back to human ancestral times: What's wrong what's wrong?'
'Holding the CP flag high (not daring to expose the CP name): There is a timeline showing that Gu Beihuai liked a post on how to make ice cream cakes a few days ago. Although he cancelled the like very quickly, fans still caught the moment and there is a screenshot as proof.'
'Dream back to human ancestral times:!!!'
'Holding the CP flag high (not daring to expose the CP name): Regardless of whether it was a slip of the hand or not, I feel like the case has been cracked! Cheers!'
'Dream back to human ancestral times: My God! This wave hammered to death! But what did Gu Beihuai's fans say? Don't make trouble!'
'Holding the CP flag high (not daring to expose the CP name): Big fans suppressed it and told others not to speculate blindly.'
'Dream back to human ancestral times: That's good then.'
Tonight will surely be a sleepless night for CP fans.
Go crazy!
-----------------
The lawsuit against Chengdong Entertainment was not a big deal. Lawsuits happen to entertainment companies every year.
What was tragic was that the case became too sensationalized, with the whole Internet watching!
Now everyone knows that Chengdong Entertainment bought black PR!
As a result, Chengdong Entertainment was sent into a frenzy, and public relations was completely useless.
Miao Manning and her agent Yun Shao, as the main culprits behind the incident, were completely pushed to the forefront by the company to be scolded by the public.
As a newcomer, Miao Manning has no chance of redeeming herself after such an incident.
Yun Shao is not a public figure, so she can still continue working.
However, the company also said that if she wants to continue working in this circle, she must pay the price!
Either pay Huawan Entertainment a huge compensation, or find a way to get them to withdraw the lawsuit.
At this late hour in the office, Yun Shao was still arguing with her boss.
Yun Shao: "When the plan was first designed, you guys agreed. How can you make me take all the blame when something goes wrong?"
Huang Xinglu angrily slammed the table: "Do you know how much loss you have caused the company?"
Yun Shao: "Boss Huang! I'm also an old agent at the company. No matter what, you should give me some face. Letting me take all the responsibility like this, how can I be responsible? The entertainment industry is like this, throwing the blame when something happens. Who will dare to do anything in the future?"
Huang Xinglu became irritated: "You woman are crazy! I've been telling you for so long and you still don't understand how serious this is!"
Huang Xinglu: "The problem now is not even about shifting blame or not shifting blame. Right now Huawan Entertainment is determined to crush our Chengdong Entertainment. The online incident is just a fuse, they are fighting a commercial war, do you understand?"
Yun Shao was confused and didn't understand at all.
Huang Xinglu: "Alright, I'll give you one chance. If you can make Huawan Entertainment stumble big time, I'm not saying to the same extent as this incident, just enough to catch them off guard and unable to cope, to give Chengdong Entertainment some breathing room."
Yun Shao: "Let me think about it."
Huang Xinglu impatiently: "Huh! You still have the leisure to stall for time with me?"
Yun Shao gritted her teeth: "Okay! I promise you!"
Leaving the office, Yun Shao was frowning hard.
Make Huawan Entertainment stumble?
Another impossibly difficult thing!
Just as she was about to leave, Miao Manning rushed over and hugged Yun Shao's legs.
Yun Shao almost tripped from not checking, and immediately scolded when she saw it was Miao Manning.
Yun Shao: "Get lost!"
Miao Manning cried desperately: "Sister Yun Shao, don't give up on me! I really can't be blacklisted!"
Yun Shao said disdainfully: "It's not about blacklisting you or not anymore. The company has no time to manage you at all. We're fighting a commercial war now, understand?"
Miao Manning was stunned, not understanding.
Yun Shao: "You're really useless! An idiot!"
Miao Manning anxiously: "Sister Yun Shao don't go, give me one more chance Sister Yun Shao!"
Yun Shao impatiently: "Give you another chance? I was almost done in by you!"
Miao Manning hurriedly said: "I have a way to counterattack!"
Yun Shao's footsteps halted as she was about to leave, and she stepped back: "What did you say?"
Two hours later.
5 o'clock in the morning.
This is when all night owls are most sleepy!
Yun Shao and Miao Manning both wore sportswear and masks, appearing at the entrance of the Magic City Grand Stage.
At this time, the venue was empty, and the busy staff from last night had gone back to rest.
Only the person left on duty here watching the piano was yawning sleepily.
Yun Shao: "The method you told me, it's not that piano right?"
The two could immediately see the piano behind the stage. Even covered with a layer of gauze, they could still feel the oppressive expensiveness of the piano from the outside!
Miao Manning swallowed drool: "This piano appeared at the 2008 Olympics, worth over 20 million yuan..."
Yun Shao: "Did I ask you that?"
Miao Manning: "I mean, this piano is hard to get to. If we get caught, we can't afford to pay for it."
Yun Shao was getting impatient: "So what exactly do you want to do!"
There was a hint of madness in Miao Manning's eyes: "What if there was a sudden accident while the Tianming girl group was singing and dancing on stage?"
Yun Shao frowned: "Keep talking."
Miao Manning: "Right now Huawan Entertainment and North-South Entertainment have close cooperation. If we mess up Tianming girl group, it would be a heavy blow to North-South Entertainment. And Nan XiangWan is also the boss of Huawan Entertainment. If she gets injured or disfigured, wouldn't Huawan Entertainment suffer huge losses too?"
Yun Shao sneered coldly: "You make it sound so simple!"
Miao Manning took out a prepared drill: "I'm ready, Sister Yun Shao do you know Hooke's law?"
Yun Shao: "What thing?"
Miao Manning smiled: "I also happened to come across it when I was looking into Nan XiangWan's gaokao incident. It was a physics problem in a certain province's exam, roughly meaning that according to the law's data, find the weakest point in a place, for example, drill some holes in a wooden board, and when you step on the designated point, the wood board will shatter."
Yun Shao: "What are you trying to say?"
Miao Manning held up the drill: "I've calculated it all, we'll go drill the holes, drill several of them. It won't cause any cracks on the surface that would draw attention, but when they jump around on it, it will collapse!"
Chapter 194
Two people groped to the workspace under the stage.
At five o'clock in the morning here, there was no one, and there were still various tools used by the staff around.
Yun Shao: "It looks like their stage is not completely built yet."
Miao Manning: "The six-member group has rehearsed, and I watched the rehearsal video footage. Only Nan XiangWan hasn't rehearsed yet."
Yun Shao: "One person can't cause a collapse. That is to say, even if a hole is drilled directly here, it won't be discovered in time?"
Miao Manning: "That's right! With Nan XiangWan's marker pen, it's impossible to discover! Besides, I've been to this stage when the group was formed at night, and I'm also roughly familiar with Zhao Tiancheng's habits. They won't rehearse twice. They completely trust the artists' professionalism."
Yun Shao raised an eyebrow: "Trusting too much can easily lead to accidents."
Miao Manning looked around: "I only brought an electric drill."
Yun Shao: "You go ahead, I'll keep watch at the door. If those people guarding the piano hear the movement and come over, I can still warn you."
Miao Manning: "Okay..."
The two cooperated with the division of labor, and time was tight.
Soon, the sound of an electric drill came from the workspace under the stage.
The staff member who was guarding the piano heard the noise and looked over, seeing Yun Shao standing at the entrance, wrapped up tightly, without showing an inch of skin.
The staff member shouted at him: "Why did you start working so early?"
Yun Shao didn't speak, just gestured into the distance.
Years of experience in the entertainment industry came in handy at this moment!
Dealing with it smoothly!
The staff member nodded, and didn't disturb them further.
But starting work at 5 am was really early!
Yun Shao let out a tense breath, and glanced inside.
The sound of the electric drill kept ringing out.
Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!
-----------------
Nan XiangWan was ordered today not to practice in the morning, and went to the Magic City Grand Stage early in the morning to prepare.
She needed to rehearse once, and then formally once more in the evening.
A total of two times, eight songs from the new album to sing and dance, one solo song and dance, one duet cooperation song and dance with Zhu Sha.
Ten songs in total!
Going through them twice would be twenty songs!
A normal person simply wouldn't be able to sing and dance them all in one day, but Nan XiangWan was required to perfectly accomplish it.
Even during the rehearsal, she had to minimize mistakes as much as possible.
Nan XiangWan arrived at the Grand Stage at eight o'clock in the morning.
Her agent Cheng Xue and Xiao Dong accompanied her.
Zhao Tiancheng had also arrived early and was sitting in the center position below.
Zhao Tiancheng held a loudspeaker: "All departments get ready! Rehearsing the first song!"
Nan XiangWan was wearing casual workout clothes, while Jing Da Shuai beside her was fixing her hair.
When the music sounded, she stepped onto the stage!
She walked to the front, holding a microphone.
But soon, she frowned, sensing something wrong.
Nan XiangWan: "Accompanist, stop for a moment."
The accompaniment sound suddenly went silent, and the atmosphere on site became somewhat tense and bizarre.
Zhao Tiancheng stood up: "What's wrong? Is the accompaniment out of tune?"
Nan XiangWan: "No."
She stood still, probing the ground with one foot.
Nan XiangWan: "The sound is wrong."
Zhao Tiancheng: "???"
Cheng Xue also stood up, looking puzzled.
Xiao Dong's gaze followed Nan XiangWan, looking at the stage floor.
Nan XiangWan: "Yesterday when I walked the stage, stepping on it didn't make this sound."
Zhao Tiancheng rolled his eyes: "I thought it was something serious! That must be because the shoes you wore today are different!"
Just as he finished speaking.
Nan XiangWan stretched out her right foot and stomped!
Crack!
Her foot sank into a hole!
The floor cracked open!
All four were shocked!
Some even screamed in fright!
Nan XiangWan asked calmly: "What about now?"
Zhao Tiancheng was so scared he almost threw out his back standing up: "Ah—"
Cheng Xue and Xiao Dong were both dumbfounded!
A stomp that cracked the stage floor?
Is it because you're too strong, Nan XiangWan!
Zhao Tiancheng panicked and clambered up on stage: "Nan XiangWan, how did you stomp through the floor?!"
He jumped up, and adding his heavier weight, he stepped right on a cross that had been drilled from the back by an electric drill.
So—
Crack!
Zhao Tiancheng also stomped a hole!
In an instant, his voice even changed pitch from fear.
And the cross under his foot was bigger than Nan XiangWan's, so that his entire leg sank in.
He almost fell through!
The scene was extremely dangerous!
All the staff on site began running around in chaos!
Everyone was scared silly!
Nan XiangWan was grabbed by Cheng Xue and Xiao Dong and dragged off the stage.
Too dangerous, damn!
Zhao Tiancheng was rescued by several staff members, sweating profusely from fear.
In an instant, a terrifying aura swept over the entire venue.
A major accident!
A major accident had occurred!
This stage?
Zhao Tiancheng broke out in a cold sweat: "Check the situation, hurry!"
Soon, a staff member came back to report.
The ceiling of the workspace under the stage that was set up had been drilled full of crosses!
Almost every square meter had a cross, and near the center of the stage it was even more dense, completely covered in crosses.
There were even overlapping crosses!
If the girl group members finished singing and dancing one song and returned to the central gathering point, a fall accident would definitely occur.
Everyone went under the stage to the construction area to see the situation. Looking up at the ceiling densely covered in crosses, some of the most fiercely drilled even drilled through, with light leaking through above.
Zhao Tiancheng looked on with heart pounding fear: "Termite nest?"
Nan XiangWan: "This is obviously man-made, I just took the gaokao, it's called Hooke's law, the most common practical use in life is the straw holes in milk tea and iced coffee lids. They use this cross shape right? Once the crosses are made, the lid remains flat, but the straw can be inserted with just a slight force. Same principle."
Zhao Tiancheng was shocked looking at Nan XiangWan: "You..."
Nan XiangWan: "Applying knowledge, no need to worship me."
Zhao Tiancheng: "It's not about worship or not."
Cheng Xue put away her phone that she'd been using to film and asked: "Does this situation already constitute a criminal offense?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Where's the person responsible for the flooring?"
A staff member nervously stepped forward: "It's me!"
Zhao Tiancheng looked at him: "How long for emergency repairs?"
Staff: "Repairs on such a large area can't be completed in a day."
Zhao Tiancheng: "What about nailing planks? To stabilize it so it won't collapse?"
Staff: "That would also take 12 hours."
Zhao Tiancheng looked at the time, it was 8:30 am now.
The concert started at 8 pm tonight!
There wasn't enough time!
Zhao Tiancheng: "No, it has to be completed within 11 hours, delayed by half an hour at most. Add money and labor, cost doesn't matter."
The staff member gritted his teeth: "Okay! I'll go find people!"
Shortening it by just half an hour, they could do it by working hard.
Zhao Tiancheng: "The rest of you, call the police! Check the surveillance footage!"
The surveillance footage was quickly retrieved.
Everything was normal throughout the night until 5am when things started looking off.
The video showed a person in disguise with mask and sunglasses, busily buzzing away with an electric drill.
Like a diligent worker, they drilled until the entire floor was covered in dust falling from the ceiling.
To avoid discovery, this person even swept the floor before leaving.
Everything was done very professionally!
Chapter 195
Zhao Tiancheng angrily scolded: "Damn it! Who is the brainless one? This person is also in disguise, how to catch them?"
Cheng Xue: "Fingerprints don't work, they wore gloves. Judging from the physique, it's a female perpetrator."
Zhao Tiancheng: "Anyway, let's call the police first! Luckily it was discovered early, the concert can't have an accident."
Everyone started hustling and bustling around like frantic spinning tops.
Nan Xiangwan looked at people running around everywhere, and scratched her head standing in the middle.
Good heavens, this time she doesn't even need to rehearse, huh?
She'll go directly on stage at the time!
It's another day to test her professional skills!
Jing Da Shuai walked over, grabbed her into the dressing room, pressed her in front of the makeup mirror, and started working on her look ahead of time.
...
Miao Manning and Yun Shao thought they had done it perfectly, even paid attention during the rehearsal, and even meticulously calculated Nan Xiangwan's weight so there wouldn't be any issues with her rehearsing alone on stage.
Any accidents with everyone would appear at the official event when the seven unite!
But who knew, Nan Xiangwan just so happened to hear the slight difference in the sound of footsteps stepping on the floor yesterday and today.
And it just so happened that the heavy-set Zhao Tiancheng jumped up there, and stepped through one.
If he had walked normally, he might not have stepped through!
Because he was in a hurry, he jumped.
And stepped right through a hole!
What a coincidence!
Nan Xiangwan probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise, but this kind of thing, she could grasp better than anyone!
The subtle differences in sounds were just small tricks to her!
Back when she was at war, she could even smell the wind and change position!
Speaking of which, it was still experience.
Plus she had just finished her physics exam, and Hooke's law was singled out by Gu Beihuai to explain specifically to her.
In order for Nan Xiangwan to understand more appropriately at the time, Gu Beihuai bought a lot of coffee cups and milk tea to demonstrate to her.
So, tsk tsk!
It could only be said that human schemes are inferior to those of Heaven.
It was just so happened to collide with Nan Xiangwan's gunpoint!
Because it was discovered early, and Zhao Tiancheng was also a capable figure, everyone on site immediately buckled down to work.
No one could stop the formal concert from proceeding!
On the other hand.
Cheng Xue walked quickly alongside Zhao Tiancheng: "President Zhao, leave the PR to me."
Zhao Tiancheng: "???"
Cheng Xue: "Fingerprints don't work, they wore gloves. Judging from the physique, it's a female perpetrator."
Zhao Tiancheng; "There aren't any PR personnel from South-North Entertainment on site now, right? I'm good at this kind of thing, I'll do it."
Zhao Tiancheng: "Won't it startle the snake in the grass?"
Cheng Xue: "What do you think I'm going to post?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "......"
In the end, Cheng Xue still got the official account management phone.
She held the surveillance video, plus the rehearsal accident scene she had originally filmed of Nan Xiangwan.
She edited the two videos together into a compilation, then edited the copy.
She logged into the official account for Destiny Girls.
Cheng Xue glanced at the dreadful number of fans, speechless.
Who was managing this official account before?
How could it be so miserable!
It didn't even have as much heat as the Hua Wan Entertainment official account she controlled.
Complaining aside, Cheng Xue's business capabilities were online, and she quickly finished the video and edited copy.
But she held it in her hand without posting it, and instead saved it in the drafts box.
Right after, she posted another video.
It was the scene from yesterday of Nan Xiangwan casually playing the piano.
Cheng Xue filmed it from the first perspective, the best angle.
Nan Xiangwan's solo performance on the expensive crystal piano, the image was beautiful beyond compare.
As for the copy, Cheng Xue used a little trick.
【Exclusive Preview of Nan Xiangwan's Rehearsal Video!】
Didn't mention the stage accident in the slightest!
At this time, it was 10 o'clock in the morning.
All six Destiny girls were called by their managers and assistants to get up and start heading over.
On the way, they saw the official account's copy and video.
And reposted one by one!
【Ge Dongxuan: Wow! Xiangwan looks so beautiful! The crystal piano is so gorgeous!】
【Zhu Sha: Come to think of it, I didn't even get a chance to see this crystal piano when it was delivered over, it's finally been moved on site now?】
【Deng Si Nan: I heard long ago that Xiangwan was going to bring over an expensive crystal piano to gild the concert, whee whee whee!】
【Yun Qian: Looking forward to it! I'm already on the way!】
【Zhou Wenxia: We haven't even had the chance to see Xiangwan's rehearsal, and still don't know what her solo stage will perform, will she use this piano?】
【Sha Ling: Xiangwan is a piano fairy today!】
With the reposts from the six Destiny girls, the official account's popularity finally surged up.
Since it was a rehearsal video, fans immediately exploded this microblog post.
Looking forward to the official start of the concert tonight!
Zhao Tiancheng was also browsing Weibo, keeping a close eye on the scene, while silently complaining to himself.
Why didn't anyone pay attention when he was managing this official account, but as soon as Cheng Xue took over, it broke ten thousand reposts in minutes?
It was a bit disheartening!
Was this the strength of Hua Wan Entertainment's ace manager?
Zhao Tiancheng wasn't convinced, and then made a phone call to Lang Hu.
Lang Hu was still sleeping, awakened early by the phone call, somewhat confused: "What's the matter, President Zhao?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Are you free later? Help manage the Destiny Girls official account for a bit?"
Lang Hu: "???"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Say something!"
Lang Hu: "No, President Zhao, I'm very busy, I don't have time to handle new artists."
Zhao Tiancheng: "Destiny Girls has such high popularity, it's beneath you?"
Lang Hu took a look at his schedule, helpless: "President Zhao! I'm following King Gu to film afterwards, it's a big production aiming for awards, the director wants oversight since there are several actors from our company going in, I have to follow along and pay attention too!"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Oh."
Then he hung up the phone!
This Lang Hu, mixing with the King, really becoming arrogant.
Zhao Tiancheng took another look at Weibo, likes and comments broke thirty thousand already.
So fast!
Cheng Xue really had skills.
Just then, Lang Hu's call came in.
Zhao Tiancheng: "What's going on with you?"
The sound of Lang Hu getting dressed could be heard from the other end: "I saw the Destiny Girls official account post, is it Cheng Xue's handiwork?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "How did you know? She's handling it until the end of today's concert."
Lang Hu: "Don't give it to her! I'll do it!"
Zhao Tiancheng: "???"
Lang Hu followed up: "What kind of person is Cheng Xue, President Zhao how could you hand our company's official account to her? She'll definitely divert the topic to Hua Wan Entertainment in minutes, do you believe she won't even post Destiny Girls content, only Nan Xiangwan and Zhu Sha's?"
Zhao Tiancheng took a look, and it really was the case!
Lang Hu: "President Zhao, I understand Cheng Xue very well, a model example of opportunism! She has no team spirit whatsoever, only thinking of letting Hua Wan Entertainment swallow up other entertainment companies and dominate alone! She's wildly ambitious!"
By now Zhao Tiancheng was somewhat alarmed.
Lang Hu kept pushing: "I'll go on site right now, I'll just be busier, don't give Cheng Xue any opportunity to infiltrate our South-North Entertainment company!"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Holy crap!"
He hung up the phone again.
Zhao Tiancheng rushed out in one step, then with Cheng Xue looking at him puzzled, snatched away the phone.
Cheng Xue: "President Zhao?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "I'll handle the official account management!"
Cheng Xue stood up, hugging herself and coldly laughing: "I've edited it ready, it can be posted after the concert ends tonight."
Zhao Tiancheng was somewhat embarrassed, but still firmly grasped the phone, waiting for Lang Hu's arrival.
Chapter 196
At noon, all seven girls of The Seven Girls of Destiny arrived.
The dressing room was crowded with people. With the seven gathered together again, the atmosphere suddenly became very lively.
By this time, Nan XiangWan's first costume and styling had been completed, and the others started in turn.
Monica arrived as well, and began pairing clothes for Nan XiangWan.
The opening song for the first scene is extremely important!
Everything has to be done to perfection!
The Seven Girls of Destiny chatted endlessly, about everything from the Gaokao to where they would travel afterward!
Monica and Jing Da Shuai sparred nonstop, constantly mocking each other's taste, saying good cooperation was impossible.
Outside, the stage floor was still being repaired.
The police had long since arrived and were investigating the whole time.
First they reviewed the videos and examined the hole where the accident occurred, then immediately opened a case.
This was no small matter!
Fortunately the problem had been discovered in time, and no one was hurt.
But looking at the motivations, the situation was serious, and the perpetrator would have to take criminal responsibility.
What's more, this huge stage belonged to the public facilities of Magic City.
Damaging public property, what were you thinking?
This was a big case!
Jie Chou had originally been busy working in his office, putting in overtime at noon, switching shifts with a colleague so he could leave early in the afternoon to go see the concert.
This time Gu Beihuai had been very generous, giving him two front row tickets!
He'd even let Jie Chou bring his girlfriend to see the concert.
Heh heh heh!
Jie Chou was happily thinking about this.
Just then, on his break, Jie Chou came across this case.
Colleagues who had returned from the scene and opened the case were also discussing the matter. A situation like this occurring at such a huge venue as the Magic City Grand Stage really meant that security in Magic City needed tighter oversight.
Some unlawful elements were getting a bit arrogant!
Jie Chou ran over to listen in for a bit, then frowned.
In the afternoon he had just been planning to work his normal shift, but Jie Chou sat in front of the computer and typed away furiously!
It just so happened that the deputy bureau chief walked by again.
Deputy Bureau Chief: "Writing something again?"
Jie Chou: "Oh, criminal psychology analysis."
Deputy Bureau Chief: "Criminal psychology again, what's the topic this time?"
Jie Chou: "The origins of sabotaging public facilities with intent to cause accidental injury."
Deputy Bureau Chief: "..."
Wow, so professional and detailed!
The deputy bureau chief looked at Jie Chou with something like fear in his eyes.
This young man had been at the bureau less than two years and was still quite young, how could his mind be so rich?
Jie Chou typed away the entire afternoon.
But he didn't publish it.
Instead he saved the content as a draft, then took a car to the Magic City Grand Stage to get ready to watch the concert.
The deputy bureau chief waited all afternoon for content updates to the official account, wanting to see how many new fans this would attract, how much attention it would draw from passerby.
But when it was time to get off work, still nothing!
The deputy bureau chief was getting anxious. He went out and took a look.
Jie Chou's seat was empty.
Deputy Bureau Chief: "Where did Jie Chou go?"
A head popped up beside him: "Oh? Brother Chou got off work already!"
Deputy Bureau Chief: "..."
Damn!
Kids these days, what's up with them!
What happened to publishing the content?!
----------------
At six o'clock in the afternoon, queues were already forming outside the Magic City Grand Stage to enter.
Did you get your tickets, safety codes, and oxygen tanks ready?
This was a new song concert, it was going to explode!
You have to bring oxygen tanks!
Amidst all the reminders, Jie Chou obediently lined up and entered the venue.
His tickets were for the very front row, right in the center, he might even be able to shake hands with The Seven Girls of Destiny.
An amazing spot!
All thanks to Gu Beihuai, having a celeb friend was great.
Jie Chou thought happily.
Just then, the girls beside him suddenly started screaming, covering their mouths in shock as they stared at something, their eyes shining as they said things like "So handsome!" "Wow he's so handsome!"
Jie Chou looked in the direction they were staring to see Mantou hurrying over, wearing a full blue military uniform, the badges on his chest shiny and eye-catching, his shoulder insignia three stars.
He wore a pair of sunglasses, looking somewhat uncomfortable with so many people around.
But the striking military uniform exploded with impact, and together with his 6'3 height and upright posture, his rugged complexion and the feel of explosive strength he gave off.
The girls around him all cleared a path!
Wow!
Air force!
Some of the excited girls wanted to take pictures, but Mantou held out a hand to stop them: "Sorry."
The girls immediately realized, this was the air force. No matter why he was there, they couldn't take pictures or post anything about him online.
This was the country's measure to protect its soldiers!
Though the girls were all crazy about him, they obediently didn't take photos or upload anything.
Some bolder ones wanted to ask for his WeChat.
If they could get an air force boyfriend...
Ahhh just thinking about it, so handsome!
Jie Chou ridiculed: "What are you doing showing up in that outfit?"
Mantou immediately started taking off his jacket, looking around for a bag: "Don't even ask, I just got off a fighter jet, alright?"
Jie Chou snorted contemptuously: "I didn't give you tickets for you to show off, how annoying."
Mantou patted Jie Chou's little belly: "You should work out, this potbelly."
Jie Chou slapped his hand away: "Shut your mouth!"
Mantou: "By the way, when I came in some people gave me free oxygen tanks at the door, they're that generous?"
Jie Chou: "Small stuff, you wouldn't understand."
Mantou: "Are you brick fans really that rich, 20,000 free oxygen tanks in total?"
Jie Chou: "Provided by the Brick Leader, don't worry about it. The Brick Leader has endless money!"
Mantou: "Who's the Brick Leader?"
Jie Chou: "I don't know either, I've only heard the legends. I'll explain later. Anyway now that you're here, invest in bricks, you can't lose!"
Mantou changed into casual clothes, finally much more comfortable.
The girls behind immediately spoke up.
"Handsome brother, can we take pictures now?"
"Handsome brother, which year were you born? Do you need a girlfriend?"
"Brother! Brother!"
Mantou declined them one by one, patiently.
Jie Chou stood by speechless, none of them had approached him at all, they all went for Mantou.
Air force guy thinks he's all that?
Hmph!
...
Gu Beihuai was also at the scene, but of course he wouldn't go squeeze in with tens of thousands of people in the front.
With his fame, appearing in the front rows would cause problems.
So Gu Beihuai was staying upstairs in a VIP private box.
There were several other VIP boxes, he didn't know which big shots had booked those.
Gu Beihuai had prepared early, and since this was his company's girl group to begin with, getting the box with the best view for the concert was simple for South-North Entertainment.
In the box, Lang Hu was looking at the official blog for The Seven Girls of Destiny on his phone.
The more he read, the more speechless Lang Hu felt. Who had been managing this official blog before?
What a mess, completely failing to generate hype?
But the few draft posts were edited very well.
Lang Hu wanted to revise them but didn't know where to begin.
Gu Beihuai had also heard about the accident during rehearsal. Fortunately repairs on-site were proceeding smoothly.
He gave a cold laugh, and lowered his head to message Jie Chou.
'Gu Beihuai: The rehearsal accident is handled by your bureau district right? It's a criminal case now right?'
'Jie Chou: Paying attention. Copy is written, waiting for your PR team to make a statement, then I'll publish.'
'Gu Beihuai: I didn't tell you to write that, investigate it!'
'Jie Chou: I'm not in the detective unit, but I'll keep an eye on it. I'll update you if I hear anything, won't let anything happen to your company's cash cow.'
'Gu Beihuai: Fine. Did you bring your girlfriend? Two front row tickets, pretty generous of me right?'
'Jie Chou: No, I brought Mantou.'
'Gu Beihuai: ???'
Chapter 197
Gu Beihuai felt like he was on a pirate ship in the VIP room!
He had specially prepared two front row center tickets to let Jie Chou go on a date, he just lacked giving him money to spend.
But what???
Why did you bring steamed buns!
Gu Beihuai immediately opened the group chat.
[The Five Tiger Generals]
'Gu Beihuai: @Mantou Weren't you very busy? How do you have time to come to the concert?'
'Mantou: I still have two hours for meals, I can just eat faster at night.'
'Gu Beihuai: So you came to see the concert? Where did you park your fighter jet?'
'Mantou: Why be so petty, it's just one of your tickets I used!'
'Gu Beihuai: ......'
'Gu Beihuai: It's not about the ticket, if you want I can give you two more, but this time it was to let little Jie Chou take the policewoman on a date, shouldn't we support our brother?'
'Jie Chou: @Gu Beihuai I also wanted to buy my girlfriend a new dress, for 99 yuan.'
'Gu Beihuai: [Red Envelope]'
After sending it, he frowned, what kind of dress only costs 99?
'Gu Beihuai: @Jie Chou Is the quality of the dress you bought okay?'
'Jie Chou: Thank you brother! Don't worry about this, it's permanent!'
'Gu Beihuai: ???'
Mantou watched their entire conversation, laughing until he couldn't stand straight.
'Gong Jin: Laughing to death! Damn buying a new dress!'
'Luo Wei: @Gu Beihuai Do you know who his girlfriend is?'
'Gu Beihuai: Isn't it the policewoman?'
'Mantou: Hahahaha! It's not wrong to say that!'
'Gu Beihuai: @Jie Chou Did you buy the dress?'
'Jie Chou: I have to go back online to buy it.'
'Gu Beihuai: ???'
'Mantou: Hahaha!'
'Luo Wei: Laughing hard!'
'Gong Jin: @Gu Beihuai Can you see the cost of not playing games now?'
'Gu Beihuai: What do you mean?'
'Gong Jin: His girlfriend is called Officer Caitlyn.'
'Gu Beihuai: That name...hmm, sounds very powerful, she should be the policewoman right?'
'Luo Wei: Hahaha! Laughing so hard my battleship almost capsized!'
'Jie Chou: @Luo Wei @Gong Jin What's wrong with you two, do you get scolded for looking at your phone while driving a tank or battleship?'
'Mantou: This is the first time I felt like my IQ completely crushed the fox's.'
The more Gu Beihuai read, the more he felt something was wrong. He decided to stop talking about it.
He opened Baidu and searched for Officer Caitlyn.
There!
It came out!
Damn you Jie Chou!
Gu Beihuai covered his forehead, feeling annoyed and pained.
Officer Caitlyn, a LOL game character.
New skin, 99 yuan.
Hmm...
Gu Beihuai was so angry he almost left the group!
He had thought Jie Chou was dating, but who knew his so-called girlfriend was just a game character?
Gu Beihuai wanted to beat someone up!
The key was that this code was understandable to all his childhood friends, only he didn't get it since he didn't play games.
To get little Jie Chou to the wedding hall, Gu Beihuai had prepared in every way.
Could he still get back that 99 yuan now?
What a waste of effort! The four childhood friends were still all single!
--------------
Backstage.
The styling for the seven Tianming girls was all complete, the performance outfits for each person were very delicate.
This time, South-North Entertainment had invested heavily!
Beside, Jing Da Shuai and Monica looked at their work, nodding in satisfaction.
But when the two stood side by side and their gazes met, they both gave a cold humph and turned their heads.
Mutually disliking each other!
The time was 7:50pm.
Outside was already packed without an empty seat, a sea of people.
Even backstage they could hear all kinds of cheers!
Obviously the fans were incredibly anticipating this concert!
Everyone held light sticks given out by the organizers, waving them around.
Zhao Tiancheng came over bow-backed, his expression a little anxious: "Emergency situation, there's still a corner of the stage not fixed."
Nan Xiangwan looked at the floor, only their staff knew about the accident with the stage, and it was being fixed underneath, not visible from above.
The only way to rush the repairs was the most primitive, finding steel plates to nail down with construction nails one by one.
It could only support a one-time performance, and was not absolutely stable.
After this concert the stage would be dismantled, the entire floor would need to be redone.
The repairmen were busy with sweat pouring down their faces, the back of the floor was full of patched up areas everywhere you looked.
The six Tianming girls still didn't know what was happening, completely confused.
Nan Xiangwan: "How much longer?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "20 minutes."
Nan Xiangwan: "There's still 10 minutes until the start, 10 minutes late should be fine right?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Best not, first concert, sincerity is very important."
The other members could roughly understand what was happening, looking worried.
Zhu Sha: "We go on stage at 8, delay by ten minutes?"
Ge Dongxuan: "Chatting a bit will easily use up ten minutes."
Zhao Tiancheng shook his head again: "No, repairs aren't finished, can't guarantee it won't collapse if all seven of you go up there.
Sha Ling: "Then what do we do?"
Zhao Tiancheng decided: "Nan Xiangwan goes up alone to delay ten minutes!"
Nan Xiangwan: "???"
Zhu Sha: "Can Xiangwan handle it alone?"
Ge Dongxuan: "Want to die, I already have a mental image, Xiangwan standing there, heh heh! Friends on the left, stand up and do radio calisthenics, friends on the right face backwards and turn!"
Zhou Wenxia: "Pfft-"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Can we not joke around at such a tense time?"
Ge Dongxuan pouted: "Oh."
Zhao Tiancheng: "Nan Xiangwan, go on up! This time you have to hold on, your popularity is highest, only you going on can steady things, no matter what you do, delay ten minutes until I give you the cue."
Nan Xiangwan: "What should I talk about?"
Everyone else stared at her intently.
Zhao Tiancheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Do you know react to the beat?"
...
8pm sharp.
The Magic City Grand Stage began to boil.
All the audience tightly watched the screen, anticipating the start of the concert.
What would the first song be?
How would it open, directly singing or something else?
With the personalities of the seven Tianming girls, they might just explode on stage right at the start!
Thinking this, the audience was very excited.
Along with fireworks exploding on the ground, a figure walked onto the stage.
The scene erupted again!
Nan Xiangwan's head of black hair gleamed under the lights.
Her outfit had an ink painting style, the V neckline bordered with silver threads that shone under the lamps.
The top was a black corset, the bottom was wide black pants that flowed down.
It looked like -
A warrior!
Unhindering movement on stage.
At the same time, she also had a long black and silver cloak dragging behind her.
Very long, like a warrior's cape!
Nan Xiangwan was dressed all in black taken to the extreme, other than black was only the silver embellishments.
At her chest was a badge representing the Tianming girls.
Also silver, exceptionally eye-catching!
Nan Xiangwan slowly dragged the black cloak out on stage, facing the 20,000 live audience members.
She raised the mic -
Chapter 198
At the moment when the microphone was lifted high, the entire venue fell silent.
The fans forcibly kept their mouths shut without screaming, and those who really couldn't control themselves covered their own mouths.
In order to hear Mantou's words clearly, in order not to let Nan XiangWan's voice be drowned out by the sea of people.
The fans have always tried very hard!
Mantou was a little shocked and looked back at these fans.
Behind him, many people were so excited that they were crying, but they just quietly covered their mouths.
Jie Chou gave Mantou a smug look.
Look!
Awesome, right?
Nan XiangWan spoke up: "Hello everyone! I'm Nan XiangWan of Tianming Girl Group!"
Whoosh—
Boiling!
The whole audience stood up and shouted loudly.
Crazy!
It was just a simple greeting, yet everyone went so crazy!
Mantou almost covered his ears, this shout.
Jie Chou continued to give him a smug look.
Awesome, right?
Nan XiangWan raised her right hand and clenched her fist!
In an instant, the 20,000 people at the scene fell silent again.
Obedient to the point of awe!
Mantou stared wide-eyed, his heartbeat slightly accelerated.
Yes, he was on the scene and finally experienced Jie Chou's feelings.
This girl...
Backstage.
Zhao Tiancheng looked at the clock hands moving past, with a satisfied expression on his face.
Very good!
Two rounds of cheers, one opening remark.
It's already been two minutes haha!
You really got it, Nan XiangWan!
On stage.
Nan XiangWan stood in the center of the stage with the microphone to her mouth: "Friends, put down your personal light sticks."
There was some noise at the scene. Many individual fans held up endorsement cards and personal light sticks brought specially.
Different colors represented different members of Tianming Girl Group.
The fans frantically shook their heads, refusing!
Cheering is the most sincere support for idols.
Whoever has the most light sticks at major events represents the highest popularity.
Although they supported Tianming Girl Group, each person still had their own favorite member in their heart.
Especially Nan XiangWan, her sheer amount of light sticks was simply amazing, it was all hers at a glance.
But she gave up her personal light sticks herself?
What does this mean?
Could it be...supporting the group over individuals?
Nan XiangWan spoke: "Tianming Girl Group! It came from one hundred people and seven survived."
As she spoke, she slowly paced around the stage.
The boots stepped on the floor that was still being repaired, making a clattering sound through the steel plate on the second layer!
Nan XiangWan's voice continued: "We are fearless, and take the stage seriously! We fought our way out, every performance, every effort, is hot blooded!"
Speaking, she walked to the far left end of the stage and looked at the whole audience.
Everyone's eyes followed her.
Right in front of her was a light stick, held high with a 'Brick Breaking Bare Hands' endorsement card, waving in front of her.
Nan XiangWan squatted down, reached out her hand, and stroked the head of the little light stick.
Then, her slender, fair fingers gently pressed the endorsement card down and flipped it over.
Nan XiangWan tilted her head and suddenly smiled: "Thank you for liking me, but today, I don't need personal endorsements, because this is the Tianming Concert."
The little light stick cried on the spot!
Why did she like Nan XiangWan so much, but Nan XiangWan didn't want it?
Weren't screens full of light sticks good?
This was a symbol of your personal ability and popularity!
Nan XiangWan got up and walked from the left side of the stage to the center.
The boots stepping on the floor made a thumping sound like a heartbeat!
Her voice continued: "Glory? Light sticks? We have achieved each other, so we are where we are today."
She kept walking, transitioning from the middle and walking to the far right end of the venue.
Nan XiangWan: "But you should also thank my teammates, their efforts, almost no rewards!"
Nan XiangWan's voice grew louder.
The clanging footsteps were even more striking the ground!
Nan XiangWan: "Zhu Sha is the captain, the ace, her skills need no elaboration! Ge Dongxuan is the vocal, hitting the high notes and also a bit silly! Yun Qian is in charge of choreography. During my college entrance exam period, every dance in this concert was choreographed by her!"
Nan XiangWan: "Sha Ling is the co-choreographer. Together with Yun Qian they choreographed a total of 18 songs! Deng Si Nan did even better, guess who designed the stage this time? Have you heard Zhou Wenxia's songs? There are 8 new songs on the album, she composed 2 and wrote lyrics for 3."
The whole scene was silent, listening quietly to her words.
After Nan XiangWan finished speaking, the sound of pacing started up again, and she walked back to the center of the stage from the far right end.
Every step she took made a sound that seemed to strike the heart!
Boom! Boom boom!
Nan XiangWan looked at the 20,000 people.
When she stood still in the center of the stage, she raised the microphone again.
Nan XiangWan: "Each of them is excellent! Each is worthy of being liked!"
Nan XiangWan: "Our efforts are for the glory of the group! Their lack of prominence, contention, and grabs are for the betterment of the team!"
Nan XiangWan: "And what was I doing during this time? I was taking exams..."
Nan XiangWan: "I know you like me, but please also take a close look at the efforts of my teammates!"
Nan XiangWan: "So I don't want personal endorsements."
Nan XiangWan: "I want—"
Nan XiangWan: "Group-focused support!"
The last sentence, her voice sounded like thunder, penetrating the entire venue!
It even produced an echo!
Everyone at the scene exploded in an instant!
Some excited people even directly threw away their personal light sticks.
Group-focused support!
Group-focused support!
Ahhh!
When Nan XiangWan finished speaking the last sentence, the time was just right.
8:10 pm!
Boom—
The venue suddenly lit up brightly!
The music sounded, and the accompanying teachers set up various musical instruments on the sides.
The lights hit here.
Keen-eyed friends could even see behind the instruments, there was a huge war drum!
Boom! Boom! Boom boom!
A person dressed in white samurai robes, holding up two drumsticks.
Forcefully beating the war drum!
As soon as the fans heard it, they knew it was the prelude to "Warrior's Field"!
Going straight into the opening song?
Opening song started!!
This song "Warrior's Field" was arranged by Gu Beihuai, who was very persistent about traditional Chinese style.
The whole song featured traditional Chinese instruments many times. The opening war drum sound was intense and passionate.
But who would have thought that they would actually bring war drums on stage for the concert?
Holy cow!
Awesome!
Many fans have already started screaming!
No personal light sticks, all raised the group light sticks provided by the organizers.
Give Tianming Girl Group group-focused support!
In the passionate drum sound, the stage lit up brightly.
After the first 10 seconds of war drum sound in "Warrior's Field", the sound of pipa and guqin were gradually added...
The traditional Chinese style, accompanied by the group appearance of the accompanying teachers, allowed everyone present at the scene to directly experience the feeling!
The seven members of Tianming Girl Group all appeared, standing on the stage.
Their costumes were in the same series, all in black and silver.
Nan XiangWan stood in the middle, her long cloak fluttering wildly.
Then she grabbed and tore it off!
The style of the seven was consistent, just like seven warriors.
At the same time, the accompaniment reached 23 seconds.
Nan XiangWan raised the microphone, and sang out the first lyric:
[Shocking waves, setting sun, white willows fluttering, biqing longs]
[Love has sweet delight, youthful cinnabar transforms into agarwood]
Pure traditional Chinese style, the singing was melodious.
Group-focused support in the venue also started!
Chapter 199
The accompaniment of "The Barren Field" continued, with the sounds of drums.
Ge Dongxuan's voice was very sonorous:
[Beyond the Great Western Expedition lies The Barren Field that remains]
[The egg of the phoenix is food and the heavenly dew is drink]
At this moment, the drum beats grew more intense!
The war drums sounded again!
Boom! Boom boom!
Nan Xiangwan took a step forward to the very front with one stride.
Rap time!!
[Contain it in Bingfu Town]
[The beasts show no mercy]
[I lie in The Barren Field and see through the mortal world]
[I too once shook the world and contended for supremacy among men]
[Or once raised the sand and swept away all in my path]
[Yet now I follow custom and return home, old yet dependent]
A long rap section, sang at an extremely fast tempo, with a hoarse tone of voice matching these lyrics.
Now look at the various erhus, guzhengs on stage accompanying!
The entire scene looked like a touch of exotic battlefield song, in that supreme national style.
A real national-style battle song!
The cheers in the stands continued, whenever a member sang, glow sticks of her color would light up.
During group singing, the glow sticks of various colors flashed by in waves,
Like a rainbow!
The colors in the entire stadium were exceptionally neat and beautiful!
The singing came to the middle section.
Zhu Sha's voice sang:
[Billows set with the sun, the white willows wave green glass beads]
[Love has sweet splendor, the blue cinnabar turns to agate]
The next second.
An extremely rhythmic rap cut in!
Nan Xiangwan's voice seemed to shout:
[Beyond the Great Western Expedition!]
Sha Ling's voice followed right after:
[Lies The Barren Field that remains]
The gentle style switched in, presenting an obvious sense of layers.
Making this line of lyrics seem like the clash between a knife and a sword.
Nan Xiangwan continued rapping the next line:
[The egg of the phoenix is food!]
Deng Si Nan's unique stage drama style connected:
[The heavenly dew is drink]
The audience below were going crazy!
The entire stage scene was like seven ancient shadow guards, different styles and temperaments clashing with each other, having gone through different life experiences.
The dance style was also unique, matching the style of this song, incorporating ancient martial arts elements.
Each wave of the arms was like a martial arts duel!
The scene was amazing!
Together with the exotic costumes, the entire scene looked like an ink wash painting of a battle?
Singing to the end.
Zhou Wenxia and Yun Qian harmonized.
Their voices shouted out penetratingly, very primal, just like the yelling of soldiers.
But the mics were held far away, not affecting the main vocals.
[Contain it in! Bingfu Town!]
[The beasts show no! mercy!]
Ge Dongxuan's high notes soared amidst the harmonies of these two!
[Or once raised the sand and swept away all in my path]
[Yet now I follow custom and return home, old yet dependent]
The final note, quiet.
The drumbeats suddenly stopped!
The entire song, perfectly ending with a period.
Sang out the feeling of a warrior who battled all his life, yet retired in the end!
The seven put down their mics, bowed.
Nan Xiangwan held the hands of the teammates on both sides, feeling their trembling.
The opening of this concert was extremely perfect!
The fans below screamed enthusiastically, the noise deafening!
Some were even moved to tears.
Especially during that final harmony section, though it was just Zhou Wenxia and Yun Qian singing, they sang like thousands of soldiers yelling.
It was too inspiring!
Wow wow wow!
So good to hear!
Mantou stood at the very front of the crowd, experiencing this shock live.
The feeling was completely different from listening to songs at home!
Jie Chou didn't even have time to pay attention to people nearby this time, just kept waving his glow stick wildly, yelling with the rest of the fans.
What Mantou? What Gu Beihuai?
Forget them!
Nothing is more important than idols!
Mantou pressed his heart that was beating too quickly, eyes shining.
Coming with Jie Chou was the right decision, this kind of live concert was awesome!
The first song was the most explosive one, "The Barren Field". The atmosphere on site was incredibly passionate.
None of the fans were sitting, all standing excitedly!
After the perfect performance, Nan Xiangwan and the other five left the stage.
Emergency costume change!
Zhu Sha stayed on stage, to sing a solo song.
She gave up the new costume, in order to buy time for her teammates, wearing the costume from "The Barren Field", and sang a national-style song.
The responsibility of the team captain was fully demonstrated in this moment!
The fans below were also very cooperative, all lighting up glow sticks in Zhu Sha's color.
It was a sea of red!
Backstage.
Zhao Tiancheng had gone crazy with excitement long ago.
You dare believe they actually made unified cheers?
Nowadays the concerts of male and female groups were like battles, fans of each member waving individual glow sticks everywhere, impossible to coordinate neatly.
Who knew Nan Xiangwan spoke on stage for ten minutes!
Well!
The unified cheers arrived!
The glow stick colors lighting up in waves, so beautiful it was blinding.
Zhao Tiancheng was over the moon, even taking videos of the unified cheers on site and posting on his Moments.
Showing off like mad!
Look at the girl group from his Nanbei Entertainment!
So awesome!
As the Destiny Girls emergency changed costumes, Zhao Tiancheng pranced around waving his arms and yelling.
Ge Dongxuan really couldn't stand it, and said: "President Zhao, you're a very energetic fat man."
Zhao Tiancheng: "......"
Damn, the cold water poured down directly extinguished the small fire in his heart.
Next up was Ge Dongxuan's solo segment.
The other members continued changing costumes. As Zhu Sha walked off stage in the corridor, she high-fived Ge Dongxuan.
Zhu Sha: "Go for it!"
Ge Dongxuan: "Yeah!"
As soon as Zhu Sha left the stage, the glow stick colors changed.
Switching to Ge Dongxuan's color, orange.
The Destiny Girls' cheer colors were a rainbow, each girl had a color.
During solo segments, all would light up her personal color.
The fans were really well-behaved, all raising the team glow sticks given by the organizers.
No fighting over individual cheers!
This time Ge Dongxuan challenged rap, doing Jay Chou's "Blue Storm".
When the singing started, the venue cheered again.
Nan Xiangwan could hear the loud cheers from far away in the dressing room.
Extremely loud!
Ge Dongxuan challenged herself this time, also with great success.
Completing the rap song perfectly!
After two solos, it was time for a new song from the Destiny Girls' latest album.
Required all seven on stage!
Backstage was super busy, Zhao Tiancheng spinning around again fetching people from room to room.
The seven went on stage again!
The rainbow cheers lit up like waves.
Unified cheers again!
Chapter 200
Jie Chou was truly excited, bouncing around not like a 24-year-old man at all.
Compared to the ages of his fans, Jie Chou was a bit old, but he was the youngest in the group of five boys!
He was everyone's little brother, so his personality was also lively.
At this time, Jie Chou was shouting and screaming with the little girls next to him, blending in seamlessly.
In fact, he even waved his steamed bun hand, "Wave it! Come on! Join in!"
Mantou: "......"
No, he couldn't do this kind of thing.
Jie Chou continued to seduce: "Don't be a passerby fan, be a brick!"
Mantou: "I'm a brick, I'm a combat fan."
Jie Chou: "Then why aren't you excited? Is the scene not exciting enough?"
Mantou: "It's quite explosive."
Jie Chou: "You're not enthusiastic enough, raise your hands, come on! This is how you should chase stars!"
With an expressionless face, Mantou raised his hands high and held up the light stick.
Wave!
Jie Chou: "Yes, yes! Wave hard! Woohoo!"
Mantou: "Woohoo!"
......
Gu Beihuai stood in the VIP box on the second floor, answering a few phone calls.
When he looked at the scene again, he could clearly see Mantou's conspicuously tall 1.83-meter figure among the group of little girls in the front row.
Although he had changed into casual clothes, those arms, that back...
Stood out from the fans around him!
Gu Beihuai covered his face, feeling like his eyes...
Were going blind!
Help!
Mantou, act normal!
............
The pace of the concert was very fast, with almost no joking around or delays.
The gaps between each song were very short, and every time the seven-member team changed stages and outfits, different teammates would come on stage to buy time with solos.
This was to give fans an extreme and wonderful performance!
After ten stages of singing.
Another emergency repair was needed in the middle. Starting with the first song "Wasteland", the stage had been very explosive, and every song after involved dancing.
The choreography led by Yunqian was mainly explosive and vigorous, so the dance moves had large amplitudes.
The seven girls of Heaven's Mandate also danced very seriously.
As a result, by the mid-stage section, the floor began to make strange noises.
The concert was only halfway through, but it was already starting to fall apart!
The staff got busy again!
Zhao Tiancheng ran around sweating profusely, and the situation was tense.
As expected, the temporarily repaired floor was prone to problems!
It would collapse after just a few jumps!
Just in time, the next song was Nan Xiangwan's solo.
Zhao Tiancheng pounced over in a flap: "Nan Xiangwan! It's up to you!"
Nan Xiangwan: "Again?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Your opening speech was great, do it again!"
Nan Xiangwan: "No, motivating morale can only be used once. More would be numb, the effect would not be optimal."
Zhao Tiancheng: "Then think of another way! Time's up, go on up, stall for 15 minutes!"
After saying that, he pushed her onto the front stage.
Nan Xiangwan: "......"
She was only going to sing for five minutes, what was she supposed to do for the other ten minutes, cry?
As soon as Nan Xiangwan came out, the scene exploded!
The fans screamed!
Finally it was Nan Xiangwan's solo part!
Instantly, the entire venue lit up with purple support colors.
A purple ocean!
As deep as the starry sky!
The bricks were so excited that their eyes welled up with hot tears, finally it was the solo, they could openly give Nan Xiangwan a starry purple sea!
This time, Nan Xiangwan's stage outfit was a modified Hanfu.
The overall color was dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood and then dried out black!
Her black hair was piled high on top of her head, inserted with a wooden hairpin.
The wide robes fluttered with every movement.
Gorgeous!
The scene exploded again!
The fans were so pleasantly surprised they cried!
Nan Xiangwan was actually wearing Hanfu?
What song was she going to sing for this, something folk, whose song?
Jie Chou was equally excited, waving the purple light stick and shouting!
Beside him, Mantou's eyes were smiling as he followed Jie Chou's movements, waving the light stick in his hand.
However, he was not as excited as Jie Chou.
The amplitude of his light stick waving was not large either.
Nan Xiangwan looked quietly at the 20,000 people in the venue, and raised her right hand high!
Her arms were fair, standing out clearly against the dark red robes.
The 20,000 people in the venue suddenly fell silent!
All eyes focused on her!
Mantou's eyes flashed sharply, this appeal...
He put down the waving light stick, standing with his arms crossed, his gaze appraising yet shining as he watched the girl on the nearby stage.
Jie Chou didn't even notice Mantou's actions, still shouting excitedly.
Nan Xiangwan brewed her emotions for a moment, and smiled slightly.
How to describe her smile, it had a touch of sweetness.
Compared to her domineering aura on stage earlier, it was like two different people!
Nan Xiangwan spoke: "Today, here, I want to thank someone."
The whole venue was silent, many people's breathing quickened.
So nervous!
Who are you so solemnly wanting to thank?
Backstage, even Zhao Tiancheng was confused for a moment, why did the atmosphere suddenly change?
Who are you thanking? Your dog?
Langhu who was operating the official account was also dumbfounded, looking up in confusion.
Hmm?
What's going on?
What's the situation?
In the middle of the stage.
Nan Xiangwan took a deep breath, and spoke in the explosive clamor.
Her voice was full of confidence, amplified through the mic, overriding the 20,000 people in the venue.
Nan Xiangwan: "I never thought I would be so lucky to have the Heavenly King help me right after debuting. Mr. Gu Beihuai is like a signpost in my life, he taught me how to survive in the industry, he guided me in learning, he made cakes for me..."
The bricks were already frantic!
Many people were shouting below!
"Stop talking!"
"Nan Xiangwan shut up!"
"Don't say it anymore!"
"I can't hear this!"
Barrage comments:
- Wait! Cake???
- Oh, case solved! Damn!
- That ice cream cake was made by Gu Beihuai? At 2:30am? They're together?
- Can I still make it in time to go kill Gu Beihuai now?
- You dare? Our brother has us guarding him!
- Stop arguing, where are Gu Beihuai's fans? Let's set a time and place, have an all out brawl!
- Scared of you? Let's fight then! Today my side will have a life-or-death battle with the bricks!
- CP fans silently floating by, you guys fight, we're just passing through.
- Damn! CP fans? Bricks assemble, attack them!
- Gu Beihuai fans assemble! Kill the CP fans first! Then take on the bricks!
- F*ck! Gu Beihuai fans stay where you are, once I'm done killing the CP fans it'll be your turn!
......
The barrage comments went from the two sides of fans verbally attacking each other, to the CP fans brazenly waving their flags.
Finally!
Triggering a three-way melee!
The battle was fierce!
