Chapter 21: First experience of Music Bank on the way to work
It was three in the morning and it was still dark.
Kang Do-hwan received a call from his agent Choi Jung-soo while he was in a daze.
He didn't know how he got into the nanny car, nor did he remember how he ended up sitting on the seat of the Cheongdam-dong Beauty Salon.
When he woke up, he found that his slightly longer bangs were fixed on both sides by the stylist.
The simple S-shaped bangs reveal a full forehead. This hairstyle is refreshing and age-reducing. If paired with sportswear, it looks like a high school team member galloping on the basketball court and scoring points.
The stylist at the beauty salon saw Jiang Zhaohuan wake up and asked considerately:
"Zhao Huanxi, do you need me to prepare a cup of iced Americano?"
"Yes, please."
Sitting in his seat, Kang Do-hwan allowed the stylist to put makeup on his face. Even though he had a good foundation, foundation and the like were necessary in order to present a better appearance in front of the camera.
Moreover, stylists must adjust the makeup effect according to different customers.
Actors like Kang Do Hwan generally choose light makeup that looks not much different from their bare face.
For example, for those male and female idols who need to present stage effects, it often takes much longer, and they have to switch between several kinds of cosmetics just for eye makeup.
If you have poor skin quality, you have to spend more time to cover up the blemishes.
Even so, when Jiang Zhaohuan walked out of the beauty salon, he found that it was already dawn outside.
He got in the nanny car, eating the sandwiches Choi Jung-soo had prepared in advance and the iced American coffee brought from the beauty salon, and rushed to the KBS Peninsula Broadcasting Corporation headquarters in Yeongdeungpo District.
[Lucheng's No. 1 Yasuo (Gao Zixiang)]: [Picture], can you tell where I am? Don't be too touched, kid!
[Spider-Man (Kang Do-hwan)]: Are you going to squat on your way to work?
[Lucheng's No. 1 Yasuo (Gao Zixiang)]: Yes, I come here to queue up in the early morning. I have to say it's not easy to be a fan nowadays. I have to get up early and stay up late just to see my idol.
Spider-Man (Kang Do-hwan): So you plan to be my buddy?
[Lucheng's No. 1 Yasuo (Gao Zixiang)]: Of course I have, I've even bought a camera! But you're awesome, I heard there's a girl who came to see you, she's pretty, she's from China, and from her accent I think she's from Tianfu... Unfortunately I don't have the guts to approach her.
[Spider-Man (Kang Do-hwan)]: Don’t attack my fans. A rabbit doesn’t eat grass near its burrow.
[Lucheng's No. 1 Yasuo (Gao Zixiang)]: Screw you! I won't say any more. It seems like an idol is coming in here. I'll practice my skills by taking a photo first!
Jiang Zhaohuan turned off the light of his mobile phone screen. He didn't expect that there would be fans coming to support him on his way to work.
Previously, I didn’t feel like I had become an artist even when I was number one on the trending search list. Now... it seems like my heart is beating faster.
I don’t know if I can be competent as a music program host, but I hope my performance won’t disappoint the fans who queue up in the early morning.
Less than twenty minutes later, the KBS main building appeared in front of us, and a black nanny car was parked at the door.
Kang Do-hwan, who was sitting in the car, looked at the fans standing in three layers inside and outside the railing in surprise. The fans standing in the back row even tried to jump up to try to take pictures of the passing artists.
Not only that, he also noticed that photographers from major newspapers were standing in a fixed area, holding cameras in their hands and whispering to each other, discussing who the artist would be this time.
Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect such a scene. He opened the car door and got out, and heard screams coming from a distance.
Everyone's voices were loud enough, and you could hear people shouting things like "Who is this?" and "He's so handsome."
Gao Zixiang, a social terrorist, finally saw his good brother. He was not afraid of the strange looks from people around him and shouted:
"Kang Do Hwan! Kang Do Hwan! Look at me! Look! at! me!!!"
Jiang Zhaohuan bowed politely as he walked, and took a half step back when he heard Gao Zixiang's roar. There was also laughter around him. He waved helplessly in the direction of his friend, and when he was about to leave, a familiar voice also shouted:
"Kang Jo-hwan! Remember to put a privacy film on your phone, the Spider-Man on your screen saver is showing!"
Jiang Zhaohuan turned around and glanced at the source of the sound. Wasn’t that the familiar girl with dyed red hair the EXO female fan whom he met at the entrance of SM Entertainment yesterday?
I just looked at the list of performers given by Jung Soo, and it seems that EXO is not on the list?
Could it be that she came to see me?
Thinking of this, he waved in the direction of the girls. His smiling phoenix eyes were full of affection, successfully winning the hearts of several girls.
Kang Do-hwan, who had no idea what was going on, mouthed "I understand" and was guided by the staff into the KBS main building.
The staff took Jiang Zhaohuan to the long corridor on the first floor, and he said politely:
"Zhao Huanxi, your waiting room is arranged together with Irene Xi. Just walk this way and pay attention to the door number and you will find it."
"Ne, Kang San Mida."
The aisle in the waiting room is extremely narrow, and can accommodate at most two and a half people walking side by side.
Jiang Zhaohuan met many people along the way, and most of the men and women who looked like idols were wearing large masks or hats.
This made him even more confused. Aren’t they afraid of ruining their makeup?
He found the waiting room with "Kang Do Hwan & Irene" written on the doorplate and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Jiang Zhaohuan hesitated for a moment and then pushed the door open, only to find that there was no one inside. It seemed that he had arrived first.
He looked around the spacious waiting room, and before he sat down on the leather sofa beside him, the door was opened again.
However, the person who walked in was not Bae Joo-hyun, but a strange woman with bangs, about thirty years old.
"Diao Huanxi, nice to meet you. I'm Wu Minzhen, a writer for Music Bank."
"An Ning, Hello, Min Zhenxi, I am..."
"No need to introduce yourself, I know you." Wu Minzhen smiled and handed a stack of cards to Jiang Zhaohuan, reminding him, "These are the hosting scripts that Xingya writer and I prepared together. When Irene Xi arrives, remember to communicate with her. Our rehearsal will begin in an hour."
"Yes, I understand."
Jiang Zhaohuan took the script and sat on the sofa to read it. He found that there were not only lines on it, but also notes in brackets about what actions can be performed during this period of time.
For example, when should I look at Bae Joo-hyun, who is also the host.
For example, when should you pout your lips to make an expression of emotion and regret.
He suddenly felt that the job of a host was not much different from acting. The lines, actions and expressions were almost all defined by the writer, and he only needed to perform them.
Just as he was turning the pages of the script, he heard a knock on the door and a man's voice.
"Can I come in, please?"
"Yes, please come in."
Thanks to [没太清醒_] and [儱霛] for the rewards!
