Chapter 245 Oppa, do you think it’s okay for me to quit the team and join your company?

"Crispy pigeon, sunny, that's what it's called, right? It's really delicious."

"Okay, okay, I know it tastes good, but you've told me several times, it's almost good enough."

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon who was still chattering beside her and constantly reminiscing about the delicious food she had just had for dinner, and said a little irritably.

However, Kim Taeyeon didn't care about Sunny's irritability, but instead acted coquettishly towards her.

"I don't want to either. Isn't this delicious?"

"Yeah~~"

"By the way, Huang Xu just said that they are going to the night market to test data. Is the night market here fun? Is it as lively as Itaewon?"

"Also, when they come back, will they bring us some delicious food?"

"Ah~~, Kim Taeyeon, can you just rest quietly for a while?"

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon helplessly as she kept talking and was curious about everything.

Ever since she finished her meal, she had been in this excited state, curious about everything, and kept asking questions in her ear.

This caused Sunny's ears to suffer a lot, and she couldn't even concentrate on the game in her hands, so she raised her head and looked at her lying on the bed and said.

"If you are so curious, why didn't you go with us just now?"

"Isn't it because Huang Xu said there are too many young people over there and it's easy to be recognized?"

"Do you think I won't go with you?"

Kim Taeyeon also had a helpless look on her face at this time, and complained to Sunny, but then she thought of something and continued to ask Sunny:

"Then why was Hal allowed to go along? Wasn't she afraid of being recognized?"

. . . . . .

"Oppa, is it really okay for me to follow you in? Will you really not be recognized?"

"It's okay Hal."

Huang Xu looked at Goo Hara's somewhat worried expression, gently held her hand, and then said while looking at the crowded night market in front of him.

"Not many people here know you, and with the hat and glasses, no one will notice."

"Um, Oppa, are you saying that I don't have any fans and I'm not popular?"

Listening to Huang Xu's comfort, Goo Hara did not feel comforted at this time. Instead, she looked at Huang Xu with some anger.

Huang Xu felt Goo Hara's gaze and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that his unintentional words would cause such great harm to Goo Hara.

But I also blame myself for saying it in front of her. It was indeed a bit inappropriate that she had no fans in China and was not well-known.

"Uh, Hal, that's not what I meant. I meant this way."

"Okay Oppa, I know."

After seeing the embarrassed expression on Huang Xu's face, the angry expression on Goo Hara's face disappeared in an instant, and then she smiled and said to Huang Xu.

"Although I don't want to admit it, our popularity in China is indeed not as high as Sunny and the others. Oppa, there is no need to explain."

"And it's not just in China. We can't compare to Unnie and the others in Korea either."

"Sorry Hal, I didn't mean to bring that up."

"It's okay, Oppa. Not every girl group can be as successful as Unnie and the others."

Goo Hara was very calm about this matter and continued to speak to Huang Xu in a calm tone.

"Besides, we are doing pretty well now. In Japan, we are also a top girl group, not much worse than Unnie and the others."

"Well, you guys are great too. In my heart, Hara is the top female star."

When Huang Xu saw how calm Goo Hara was, he quickly praised her.

And Huang Xu did not lie when he said this, he really felt in his heart that Goo Hara and her KARA members were indeed great.

First of all, they were able to stand out from the second-generation Korean girl groups and have been active until now, and there are basically no weak members in the group.

Moreover, they do not have many fans in China. They are just a relatively niche girl group. Even in South Korea, they are just a second-tier girl group.

However, they relied on hard work and fought their way out of that hellish dungeon in Japan, becoming a truly first-line girl group, and they are inseparable from Girls' Generation and other Japanese local girl groups.

They are a truly popular girl group, which shows that their strength is not bad.

Tara is a group whose members are all very good-looking and talented. Their comeback in Japan this time was like a drop in the ocean, and they hardly made any name for themselves.

Therefore, when he said these words, his expression was particularly sincere.

Goo Hara naturally felt Huang Xu's feelings, and there was a hint of touch in her eyes when she looked at Huang Xu.

However, just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhang Rui, who had just parked the car, coming over. So he held back what he was about to say and spoke to Huang Xu.

"I understand, Oppa. Let's go in and shoot now. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back. Otherwise, Unnie and the others will be waiting anxiously."

"Okay, let's get ready to go in. Take a look and see if there's anything you're interested in. Bring some back for them when you go back."

"Ah."

With Zhang Rui's arrival, Huang Xu also ended his conversation with Goo Hara and took the two of them into the crowded night market.

The purpose of their coming here this time was to adjust and test the camera parameters.

As an indispensable part of urban life, the night market is also the place that best reflects the characteristics of a city. Of course, it occupies a lot of roles in the variety show planned by Huang Xu for Tara and others.

It can be said that every time I go to a city, I almost always take pictures of the night view of that city.

Shooting night scenes is much more troublesome than shooting indoors.

To give the simplest example, take smartphones. In this era, many mobile phone manufacturers have begun to promote their own photo-taking effects.

But they basically only take photos during the day and rarely take photos at night as examples.

And it was not until several years later, when camera lenses and algorithms had developed to a very high level, that manufacturers began to emphasize their night photography effects.

There is no way, the shooting conditions at night are too complicated and there are too many interfering factors.

Not to mention the dim environment at night, it is a huge test for the camera, and many manufacturers can't handle this alone.

And even if you have dealt with the dim environment, there are still various car lights, neon lights, and light interference from various store signs waiting for you.

That's why Huang Xu brought Goo Hara here to test various shooting parameters.

As a result, Huang Xu was not as relaxed this time as before. It only took him a few minutes to debug successfully.

This time it took him more than half an hour to test out several sets of more suitable setting parameters.

There is no other way. The lighting environment here is too complicated. The street lights and neon lights on the signs complement each other. If you want to get the desired effect, you need to keep adjusting.

Besides, Huang Xu is not a professional photographer, he is just a novice who has learned for a few days.

If he hadn't watched many variety shows and short videos and knew what effect he wanted, he would not have been able to adjust it. Huang Xu looked at his half-hour results and asked Goo Hara after he had initially achieved the effect he wanted.

"Hola, I'm done here. Is there anything else you want to buy? Or should we shop for a while longer before going back?"

"No need, Oppa, these are enough for me, and the unnies are still waiting to eat lychees!"

Goo Hara weighed a bag of lychees and a large fruit platter she had just bought at the night market and gestured to Huang Xu. Then she looked at Zhang Rui and asked in her half-baked Chinese with an accent.

"Zhang Rui Oppa, is there anything you want to buy?"

"No, I've already been here once yesterday. My main task these days is to accompany you."

Zhang Rui did not show any surprise when listening to Goo Hara's Chinese with a slight accent. After all, he had heard Goo Hara's Chinese before.

Then he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need anything.

Huang Xu saw that the two had no intention of continuing shopping, so he didn't stay any longer. The three of them left the night market and drove together to return to the hotel.

On the way back to the hotel, Goo Hara looked at the night view outside the car window, recalled the videos and photos taken by Huang Xu just now, and asked Huang Xu curiously.

"Oppa, what kind of variety show are you going to shoot for Tara and the others next?"

"I noticed you've been filming food today. Are you planning to make a food variety show?"

"Well, if you put it that way, there's nothing wrong with that."

Huang Xu was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and looked at Goo Hara and said.

"After all, in my variety show plan, food will definitely occupy a large proportion."

"Will anyone watch this?"

"Don't worry, as long as my plan goes well, there should be a lot of people watching."

Huang Xu looked at Goo Hara's worried expression, but he showed confidence instead and began to explain some of his plans.

First of all, in order to make the variety show a success and make Tara and the others famous, he prepared a lot of plans.

The most important thing is to think about the elements that are popular now, and prepare four killer weapons based on my memory to ensure the success of the video.

The first is the appearance and figure of Tara and others.

No matter what era, beauty videos are more popular with the audience, and there is no need to say anything about the looks of Tara and the others. The perfect looks group is no joke.

Therefore, as long as you can capture the good looks of a few people and their hot bodies, you won’t have to worry about not being able to attract audiences.

The second is the Volaf model.

The Volav model is very simple to explain. To put it simply, foreigners in the video are curious about various things in China, making a fuss about them and looking like they have never seen the world.

It would be better to brag about China's rapid progress.

This video format just caters to the preferences of Chinese netizens. It has been popular since its inception. Even before Huang Xu was reborn, there were still many people who liked to watch this type of video.

Therefore, Huang Xu planned to let Tara and others take this route in the video. Anyway, in this era, if they don’t eat this traffic, someone else will.

It’s better to eat it yourself.

The third one is the various delicacies.

There is a traditional Chinese saying that food is the most important thing for the people, which shows the status of food in the minds of the Chinese people.

For the vast majority of Chinese people, even if they don’t like food videos, they won’t hate them either, so food videos have a very wide audience.

Since the birth of online self-media, many people have posted photos of various foods on forums or Weibo.

Until the advent of the self-media era, food videos have always been a category with huge traffic and a huge number of users.

Among various food bloggers, store exploration bloggers, even curiosity bloggers and unboxing bloggers, there are people who are constantly taking photos of food and they all have good traffic.

Therefore, there will be a lot of food-related content in Huang Xu’s variety show this time.

Especially with the sudden appearance of the documentary "A Bite of China" last year, the Chinese society's attention to food has become very hot.

As long as it is a relevant video, it can basically get a lot of traffic and attention.

The last killer feature is the beautiful scenery of various cities in China.

After so many years of development, China has undergone rapid changes, and many cities are changing day by day.

But because China is so huge and changes so quickly, even though most people live here, they don't really know much about these things.

Just like Guangzhou's slender waist and the Pearl River night cruise, many people have never seen them in this era.

The location where Huang Xu prepared to shoot the first episode of Tara's video is the mountain city known as the 3D magical city.

He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, after short video self-media became popular, many people were fascinated by the intricate roads in the mountain city, the magical map that was also the top floor, and the urban planning that passed through the buildings.

And don’t forget, there is also the Hongya Cave, which looks like an anime scene and is also a killer.

After seeing these videos, many people even travel thousands of miles to the actual places in order to take the same photos, just to take a video or a photo.

Of course, Huang Xu also plans to use drones to shoot some more shocking scenes during the variety show filming to open the eyes of today's people.

For people in later generations, drones are a very common and widespread thing.

It is widely used in all aspects of life, and even reached the point of being rampant at one point.

But for people today, it is still a very novel thing.

According to some information Huang Xu found, he discovered that current drones have actually been developed for several years and have entered the second stage.

Although current drones are still relatively expensive and not as intelligent as those of the future, they can already be equipped with electric gimbals and high-definition wide-angle cameras.

It is now possible to shoot some quite stunning videos.

This is Huang Xu’s plan, and also the source of his confidence.

Since he has already prepared these multiple guarantees and added a lot of popular elements, he can also spend money on promotion later.

Huang Xu really couldn't believe that he couldn't help Tara and the others open up the Chinese market.

After listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Goo Hara finally understood where Huang Xu's confidence came from.

In the past, she only knew that Huang Xu was going to help Tara and others shoot variety shows and help them promote their products, but she was not very clear about Huang Xu's plans.

That's why I'm a little worried whether Huang Xu will succeed.

But now, after listening to the explanation, he immediately looked at Huang Xu with admiration.

"Oppa, you will succeed."

"Well, thank you Hal in advance. I'll buy you a gift when I succeed."

"Hey, thank you, Oppa. By the way, Oppa."

Goo Hara suddenly remembered something and asked Huang Xu.

"What do you think is okay with me quitting the team and joining your company?"
