Xiao He was unaware of what was happening in the practice room.
Over the next few days, his main task was to practice singing and dancing, and also to attend a few commercial events and activities, trying to appear in front of his fans as much as possible.
There were quite a few activities at the end of the year. Xiao He even took several flights to other cities to promote the upcoming web drama "Yu Ye". As a result, he was able to go to the practice room less and less often.
Coincidentally, every time Xiao He arrived at the practice room, he could only meet Xie Jingshi briefly, while the other person always seemed to be on his way late, never matching their normal timeline.
The last time, Xiao He and the others left a little late, and Lu Yuxi finally arrived.
The three people who were about to collaborate on stage have finally met for the first time.
The atmosphere between the parties involved was quite awkward.
Xiao He and Xie Jingshi treated Lu Yuxi like dirt; if it weren't for their upcoming performance together, they would have definitely given Lu Yuxi the cold shoulder.
However, even if he only maintained a facade, Xiao He would not indulge the other party.
He had already completed his training plan, so what was he still doing here? Rehearsing with Lu Yuxi one more time?
Whose time isn't time?
After glancing at his watch, Xiao He made an excuse that he needed to catch a flight that afternoon and left the studio first.
In the end, only Xie Jingshi and Lu Yuxi were left staring at each other.
"That Xiao He kid is pretty fast!"
Xie Jingshi smiled bitterly to himself, cursing Xiao He for being cunning. But since things had come to this, he couldn't just leave without giving anyone face like Xiao He did. So he could only stay an extra hour to spend more time with Lu Yuxi.
What Xie Jingshi didn't expect was that Lu Yuxi still couldn't remember some of the positions, or jumped the wrong way, and even stepped on Xie Jingshi's foot when changing positions.
Xie Jingshi's temper flared up instantly, and he felt the same anger and helplessness as Wen Huiyan.
—Most importantly, even if this person goes through it once, he doesn't take it seriously at all. His movements are loose and casual, seemingly very relaxed, as if he has the victory in his grasp. But in reality, he's just a street thug, dancing in a vulgar and uncouth manner.
Xie Jingshi didn't bother to say anything more, simply greeted them, and left as well.
Who cares about saving face for anyone else after dancing like that? Anyway, it won't be them who's embarrassed when they go on stage.
Xiao He is smart; he ran fast and didn't get angry. I'll definitely learn from him next time.
...
Before we knew it, it was mid-December.
The penguin's party is scheduled for the 23rd, and the peach's party is scheduled for the 24th, which means Xiao He will have to work two nights straight. The rehearsals for these two parties are scheduled for the afternoon of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd, respectively.
Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was not too far, so the transition was not too difficult, and Xiao He's rehearsal for the penguin gala on the 22nd went very smoothly.
To promote "Sumiya", the lead actors sang one of the theme songs for "Sumiya".
The female lead of "Yu Ye" is Guo Xinya. As a veteran actress, her professional skills are beyond question. Singing is a skill she can do effortlessly. Yuan Sitong, as one of the top-tier actresses, also sings very well. On the other hand, Xiao He and Li Haoxuan each have their own difficulties.
Needless to say, Xiao He's performance was his first time on stage, and he was a complete novice before. It was already quite good that he could sing without going off-key or dragging the team down. As for Li Haoxuan, there's not much to say. It's really asking too much of him to sing a Chinese song when he can't even speak Mandarin properly.
Fortunately, the production team was aware of this, and the theme song they chose happened to include a part of the English chorus. So, during the performance, this part was generously given to Lee Ho-hyun.
So the four of them stood on the stage, holding microphones and singing, with a group of backup dancers behind them. The whole rehearsal went quite well.
Finally, the rehearsal here came to a successful conclusion.
-
Just as Xiao He was about to leave, Yuan Sitong called him back.
"Take a picture, take a picture."
Yuan Sitong also invited Guo Xinya and Li Haoxuan.
Everyone knew it was mostly for promotion, so they gathered together and struck a pose for the camera.
After the shoot was over, Guo Xinya said with a smile, "Xiao Yuan, remember to send it to me later, I also want to post it on my WeChat Moments."
"Okay, no problem."
Yuan Sitong also passed it on to Xiao He and Li Haoxuan.
After not seeing each other for a while, Li Haoxuan's resentment towards Yuan Sitong had lessened considerably, but when he saw the photos, he was still somewhat critical: "Oh, no! Ugly."
Xiao He glanced # Nоvеlight # at it and immediately suppressed a laugh.
I don't know how Yuan Sitong managed to make it look so bad. In a group photo, Li Haoxuan was the worst-looking one, with his facial features distorted and looking very different from his real appearance.
—And it's not just this one, it's every single one I took earlier, none of them are very good, or they just happened to have my eyes closed.
Xiao He had no idea that Yuan Sitong had this ability.
If Yuan Sitong hadn't taken the photo in front of everyone and shared it, Xiao He would have even suspected that Yuan Sitong had deliberately photoshopped the person to look ugly.
When faced with Lee Ho-hyun's accusations, Yuan Sitong instinctively rolled her eyes: "I'm already being kind enough to take you on this shoot, why make such a fuss? If you don't want to film, then get lost."
To be honest, whether it was because of the grudge formed during the filming of "Yu Ye" or because the two were really born enemies, Xiao He felt that Yuan Sitong treated Li Haoxuan much more harshly than she treated Zhao Qinyuan, and she didn't hold back at all when she spoke.
Of course, there is also a great possibility that it is because Li Haoxuan cannot understand what Yuan Sitong is saying, so it doesn't matter if she says something unpleasant.
However, Lee Ho-hyun wasn't stupid. Just from Yuan Si-tong's eye roll, he could read the meaning behind her words. He immediately became angry again and shouted in English, "You were the one who dragged us to take pictures first! You didn't take good pictures yourself, and you're blaming me? Do you think I wanted to take pictures with you? If it weren't for the publicity, I would have left long ago!"
"Go ahead and leave, just leave. You're ugly, and you blame me for not taking good pictures. Why is everyone else not ugly, but you are? You should reflect on yourself!"
Based on past experiences on set, these two would have started arguing again, their words completely nonsensical. But this time, Xiao He listened carefully and strangely discovered that although they couldn't quite understand each other, they were able to connect with each other's brainwaves. As a result, even though they were communicating across languages, they were communicating correctly in a ridiculous way.
Xiao He: ...
It can only be said that these two have some tacit understanding.
Guo Xinya listened with a smile, and thought the same thing as Xiao He: "The two of them have a kind of bickering couple vibe. If a director gives them a script, the hype shouldn't be too low."
Xiao He shook his head: "Probably not. Yuan Sitong's company probably wants her to gradually transition to a different career path, and she will likely act in fewer idol dramas in the future."
Of course, this is all on the premise that "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" doesn't flop and that Yuan Sitong's transformation work can be recognized by the outside world.
However, as an actor in the same production team, and the male lead who co-starred with Yuan Sitong, Xiao He felt that it shouldn't be a problem for Yuan Sitong and her team to use the role in "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" to transform their careers. Yuan Sitong's acting skills were still good, and she had always had talent. If she put all her effort into acting, her future achievements would definitely be high.
But this young lady... well, she probably prefers gossiping and sleeping in.
