Chapter 295 The Eve of the Concert

Linjiang City, Lotus Sports Stadium.

A large stage has been built on the green football field.

At this time, waves of catchy melodies came from the sound system, and the five girls of Galaxy Girls on the stage were swaying and rehearsing the Chinese version of "Nobody".

"My heart is in turmoil and I don't belong to anyone"

"Don't pretend you don't care and ignore my beauty"

“The goblet is filled with decadence”

"My heart is slowly breaking and becoming a burden"

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi sat in the first row of the audience and watched, with expressions of admiration crossing their faces from time to time.

"You are amazing. The Chinese version of "Nobody" does not sound out of place at all compared to the Korean version. It even sounds a lot more intimate."

Feng Shiqi turned around and said to Bai Xingjian with admiration: "Is this the legendary talent?"

Just like Bai Xingjian was amazed by Feng Shiqi's beauty every time he saw her.

Every time Feng Shiqi hears the Chinese version of "Nobody", he feels amazed by Bai Xingjian's talent.

What's going on in his head?

No matter what type of song you write, you can write it.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Bai Xingjian smiled, his eyes moving around the stage, and he was also quite emotional.

After a long period of promotion in Corea, the professional abilities of the five girls of Galaxy Girls have become stronger and stronger.

Whether it's body movements or facial expressions, compared with their previous performances in "New Era of Heavenly Group", their current performances have made a qualitative leap.

If Galaxy Girls can have more works, this all-Chinese girl group from China may be able to become a top-tier group and surpass Korean girl groups.

But when he thought about the recent controversy on the Internet regarding him, Bai Xingjian, and the Xinghe girl, he felt a bit of a headache.

Isn’t it just writing a few Korean and English songs?
This butt is crooked?

Aren’t there five hundred thousand walking people targeting them?
Bai Xingjian shook his head and threw these thoughts out of his mind.

"It's great to have talent, but you can't just do whatever you want."

Feng Shiqi looked at Bai Xingjian's profile and said in a gentle voice, "Writing songs and writing scripts are completely different things. You can slowly try to write a script now. There's no need to rush to find a team to make a movie so quickly."

On the third day after returning from Wang Yaqi's wedding, Bai Xingjian handed Feng Shiqi the story of "Myth" he wrote, which is the story of the movie "Beautiful Myth" that they sang before, and the story of the song.

At first glance, Feng Shiqi thought Bai Xingjian's writing was quite good, and the plot made people want to read on. Although some of the words and sentences were quite incongruous, it was pretty good overall.

But not long after, when Bai Xingjian suddenly said that he wanted to adapt this story into a movie script and planned to contact a film team to make a movie, Feng Shiqi suddenly panicked.

She didn't know where Bai Xingjian got his confidence from. This short story of only four or five thousand words was written rather crudely, and he was thinking of turning it into a script and making a movie?
It's really a bit of a joke.

After all, having a talent for writing songs doesn't mean you have a talent for writing stories, scripts, or making movies.

Feng Shiqi immediately began to persuade Bai Xingjian.

Now, whenever she has the chance, she will try to persuade him.

"Besides, those comments on the Internet are just online after all. Don't we know what our situation is like?

There is no need to prove anything just to face the criticisms.”

Feng Shiqi raised her hand to tidy up Bai Xingjian's messy hair, like a caring older sister comforting a child.

She could vaguely understand why Bai Xingjian was so eager to film "The Myth".

"Well, Sister Qi, I've actually figured it out."

Bai Xingjian grabbed the fair little hand that was still in front of his forehead, pulled it back and placed it on his legs, then held it with both hands and squeezed it:
“Filmmaking is a slow process, and I took it for granted that night.

But don't worry, the recent comments on the Internet really didn't affect me, I was just a little upset."

Hearing this, Feng Shiqi felt much more at ease.

But there are so many people here now, is it really a good idea to do this?
Feng Shiqi pulled his hand back and said angrily, "I find that you like to make moves more and more. Can't you be more honest? There are so many people here."

Bai Xingjian said with a smile: "Then can it be done when there are fewer people?"

Feng Shiqi raised his hand and patted Bai Xingjian on the shoulder.

At this moment, the Galaxy Girls had just finished their performance, and the little movements of the two of them were seen by the five girls.

"It seems like we missed a lot of things during the time we were abroad. Brother Xingjian and Sister Shiqi are getting closer and closer now."

"Yeah, yeah, it didn't seem like that a while ago, but when we came back this time, it seemed like they had taken a step further, and we didn't hear any official announcement from them!"

"From the way they are getting close to each other, it feels like the day they will officially announce their relationship is not far away."

The girls chattered.

Shu Yaqian gritted her teeth.

For the first time, she felt that her teammates were a little noisy.

Looking at the silent Shu Yaqian, Song Yuhan patted her on the back helplessly to comfort her.

“Not bad! It’s in perfect condition!!!”

Chen Shuyi came to the stage and expressed her opinion, "If you can maintain this state at the concert, there will be basically no problem."

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi also came to the stage at this time, and they both naturally praised the Galaxy Girl very much.

From the audience's perspective, there is absolutely no problem with Galaxy Girl.

After everyone chatted for a while, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi also took the microphone and began to rehearse the conversation between them and the Galaxy Girl.

Yes, rehearsing dialogue.

The concert schedule is actually very tight, especially when there are special guests.

So apart from the normal singing stage, what the singers say in other time periods is basically arranged in advance, and is accurate to every word.

Just like many variety shows nowadays, there is a teleprompter where the audience can’t see it, and you just have to speak one sentence at a time according to what is on the prompter.

Although it looks a bit procedural and mechanical, it is really easy to use.

Otherwise, having an awkward chat on the stage in front of tens of thousands of people, even loyal fans would probably complain a few words to vent their anger.

Time passed slowly during the rehearsal.

……

Linjiang City, Aoki Entertainment Headquarters.

In an office.

"Sister Zhao, Bai Xingjian and Xinghe Girl still haven't responded. It seems like they can't see the recent criticisms about them on the Internet."

A female assistant in uniform reported to Zhao Jiao.

Although Zhao Jiao is now an administrative assistant in the artist management department of Qingmu Entertainment, she is very different from ordinary assistants.

So even though the word "assistant" appears in her job title, Zhao Jiao also has her own assistant.

"If you don't want to respond, then don't respond. It's just a small fight anyway."

Zhao Jiao didn't mind it at all, she just wanted to disgust Bai Xingjian, so it didn't matter if he didn't respond. "You continue to let the trolls post those comments, and you can shift the focus to the Galaxy Girl."

Zhao Jiao said to the assistant.

The recent controversy on the Internet about Bai Xingjian and Xinghe Girl was all caused by her.

Otherwise, without Zhao Jiao's deliberate arrangement, there wouldn't be so many irrational remarks.

As for why the focus of those remarks shifted toward the Galaxy Girl, Zhao Jiao's thoughts were very simple.

It might be hard for Bai Xingjian to change his mentality alone, but there are five Galaxy Girls, and Zhao Jiao is not that good. There is not a single one among these five girls whose defense cannot be broken.

"Okay." The assistant nodded.

"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go down and get busy."

Zhao Jiao raised her hand and waved. The assistant nodded and left the office tactfully.

"GoldenCold is gone now. I don't know how the new group that debuted from our company will perform and whether they can stand out. I don't expect them to surpass Phoenix Flying, but I still have a chance with Galaxy Girls."

Zhao Jiao muttered to herself, looked out the window, and then focused on the computer screen.

……

Time soon came to the 21st.

Although it was a Thursday, the roads around the Lotus Stadium were like the weekend rush hour, with heavy traffic and empty streets.

The square outside the stadium was also crowded with people.

But the most eye-catching thing is the rows and rows of flower baskets displayed in the square.

At Fenghuang Yufei's first concert, almost every celebrity and friend who knew Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, no matter how close or distant their relationship was, sent them flower baskets.

Many viewers' eyes lingered on the flower basket.

In the center of the colorful flowers, there is a greeting card with everyone's blessings and names written on it.

[Hangzhou Fan Club wishes the Phoenix Flying 2024 concert a complete success! ——Simeier's family & Xiaoai & Xiaogao&]

[Wish: Phoenix Flying 2024 concert, a smooth performance! ——Wang Xingyi]

[Phoenix Flying Champion! The 2024 concert in Linjiang went smoothly! ——Congratulations from Jiang Hao]

[Brother Xingjian, Sister Shiqi! May your 2024 concert go well! — Xinghe Girls wish you all the best]

The countless flower baskets were dazzling to look at. In addition to the wide square, these flower baskets even spread into the gymnasium.

"Have Xiaobai and our daughter become so famous now? The king and queen of pop have sent them flower baskets."

"Of course not. The singing kings of this year's 'The Voice of China 2024' are Xiaobai and our daughter. And based on Xiaobai's creative ability, I guess a lot of people want Xiaobai to write songs for them. This concert is such a good opportunity to get along with people. These kings and queens will definitely not miss this opportunity to improve their favorability."

"Let me take a look. Isn't this Lao Lin's name? How come they also sent a flower basket?"

"Oh my god, it's really Old Lin! Even a relative like him sent a flower basket, shouldn't we as parents send one too? Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable."

Mr. and Mrs. Feng looked at the names on the flower basket and whispered to each other.

Lao Lin is not a blood relative of Feng's father and mother, but they live in the same yard. After several decades, the relationship between them is closer than that of blood relatives.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi naturally gave some tickets to their concert this time, so that they could give them to friends in need back home.

The Lin family was naturally among them, and their family of four got four tickets.

However, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi only provided tickets, and the round-trip travel expenses were naturally borne by the old Lin family.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi have become big stars now, but stars are stars, and they are not yet big philanthropists.

Among the Feng family's relatives, there were also a small group of people who had complaints about the two of them.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are big stars now, so why are they so stingy even with such a small amount of money? They are simply the most stingy stars they have ever seen.

When Feng Ma heard these words, she was very angry and decided not to have any more contact with these people.

He has many relatives in the Feng family, so he doesn't need one or two more.

"These two kids didn't even tell us about the flower baskets for the concert. The concert is about to start. Where are we going to order the flower baskets?" Mother Feng said to Father Feng.

"I do not know either?"

Father Feng spread his hands and said, "How about we find a greeting card to show our appreciation?"

"I mean your head."

Mother Feng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Forget it. We can make up the flower basket later. We should go spend some time with the two little ones."

……

Powder room.

At this time, many people have gathered here.

Fenghuang Yufei can be said to be the most popular artist group of Yehua Entertainment now, so many senior executives of Yehua Entertainment came to their concert this time.

The dressing room looks like a meeting room.

With one hour left before the concert officially started, many senior executives of Yehua Entertainment and Bai Xingjian and his party went to the designated location to worship the gods.

The location was not private. When Bai Xingjian and his group arrived here, many fans of Fenghuang Yufei were already waiting there.

There were also a group of security guards maintaining order at the scene.

When fans saw Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi show up, they immediately cheered.

"Here they come! They are finally here!"

"I'm not lying, there really is such a link!"

"Ahhh! Phoenix Yufei, I love you!"

"Bai Xingjian, I love you! Feng Shiqi, I love you!"

"Love you love you!!!"

Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi naturally smiled and waved to greet them.

Then take the incense from the relevant personnel, light it, worship, and insert it into the incense burner.

The people behind me did the same thing.

Many of the audience were stunned by this scene.

"I've learned a lot. Do you have to burn incense and pray to gods before a concert? This is the first time I've seen this."

"Haha, me too. I thought only our hometown would worship gods during the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect that this is how we have to do it for a concert."

"It's normal! In the entertainment industry, except before a concert, almost all film and television crews pray to the gods when they start or finish filming, hoping for a good start."

"That's right. Outside of the film and television industry, some large-scale projects also burn incense and worship gods before starting work. They are even more grand and sometimes even kill a few pigs."

Fans were talking about it and watching incense sticks being added to the incense burner one after another.

After a while, the incense burner was almost full.

Bai Xingjian and his group waved goodbye to the fans, turned back into the venue and began making final preparations for the concert.
