[Hahahahaha]
[Actually, the auditory couple means the couple that loses their sense of hearing and becomes an idiot couple]
[Why is he so cute, Juexia XSWL]
[Look at the expression of the old man under the grapevine looking at his phone on the subway hahahaha]
[I can't stand this group of idiots! New friends, this is actually a singing (shady) runner-up, a hip-hop champion, a real DJ, a folk music student, a PhD student, and a Beili student, please believe me]
[Don't believe it, liar]
[Don't believe it, liar, liar, these are six crosstalk actors, we are in contact with the Happy Comedians]
[It's over, I've already started playing this song in my head]
In the end, the game failed. Pei Tingsong, who hoped to turn the tables, failed to get rid of the game's black hole. Instead, he dragged Fang Juexia into the black hole with him.
In the next few days, Kaleido's schedule was full of twists and turns, and he was so busy that he almost never landed. There were two commercial events, and he flew as a guest to the senior group Highfive's concert in Nanjing. After that, there was a fashion charity gala.
In addition to the real and fake data on the Internet, the most direct manifestation of his popularity was the wave of airport pickups. In the past, Kaleido naturally had fans picking them up at the airport, but the number was not large. Therefore, they never used the VIP channel. But what they didn't expect was that the number of people sending them off from Beijing to Nanjing was so large that they couldn't even walk.
After finally boarding the plane, Pei Tingsong sat by the window. After working for many days, the members quickly fell asleep due to exhaustion. Only he was still awake.
Pei Tingsong glanced at Ling Yi, who was sleeping next to him. He opened his laptop and clicked on the fjx folder on the desktop. Inside was Fang Juexia's demo, which he never had a chance to listen to.
However, the name of this demo was very Fang Juexia. It was just a string of date numbers, which was probably the time when the song was completed.
Pei Tingsong put on his headphones and clicked on the play button.
Unexpectedly, there was no prelude at the beginning. In the first second, there was a short inhalation sound, followed by Fang Juexia's voice. There were no lyrics, he was humming. Ten seconds later, there was a soothing piano sound. It didn't sound like a sample or synthesized timbre, it should be a real recording.
Fang Juexia's voice was too special, cold, and very spacious. Pei Tingsong closed his eyes, as if he could see him sitting in front of the piano, playing and humming this song.
The melody of the chorus was outstanding. It was very catchy, and one could remember it after listening to it once. Although it was flawed, Fang Juexia's personality, it was vividly displayed of the song. Most lyrical songs were related to love, and most of them were sad themes of heartbreak. It was easy to fall into a cliché.
But Fang Juexia was different. He had an excellent singing business. At first, it of Music of of of of of the word of, of of the song of the song of the world of the song of music of the of of of the. From the beginning of the second verse of the song, he deliberately increased the sound of his breathing, the ending of the song was slightly dragged out, and in the end, even the sound of the piano burst out, and finally stopped abruptly, ending with the sound of his deep and trembling breath.
Pei Tingsong could not help but think of a common and sad opening line: I have a friend, he is not doing well recently.
Every sentence, every word of his was like he was trying to be brave, repeatedly telling you that this was someone else's story, it had nothing to do with him. He was just an inferior narrator, unable to maintain his calmness, and unable to disguise his frailty. Until the end of the song, his emotions were on the verge of collapse.
Pei Tingsong was really impressed.
There were countless singers with good singing skills. What was even rarer was to use the skills invisibly. A superb singer was able to do much with little effort.
He finally understood why the company insisted on Fang Juexia being the lead singer, even though he might be questioned by others for taking on so many roles. Fang Juexia was able to create a narrative in the song just by humming without lyrics.
But Fang Juexia deserved it.
Pei Tingsong turned his head and looked at Fang Juexia, who was sitting in the back row. At the moment, he was leaning against the back of the seat and sleeping. He was still wearing the blue eye mask given by his fans, and his skin was so white that it shone.
The demo was playing on a loop in his headphones.
He had an impulse to write lyrics for him.
When the plane landed, the scene of the pick-up was even more exaggerated than that of the capital airport. Five of the six people were sleeping soundly, leaving only the youngest, who was still calm. The company did not expect so many people, and did not prepare enough bodyguards in advance, so Cheng Qiang and Xiao Wen all came up to protect the members.
"Sorry, excuse us, let us go out first."
"Sorry, excuse us."
Fang Juexia had some time to practice before, so he was very sleep-deprived. After sleeping on the plane, he did not get better, but had a headache. Many people who were not fans squeezed to the front with cannons, and the flashes made him unable to open his eyes.
Soon, a fan shouted, "Don't turn on the flash!"
"Don't be angry, okay? Don't push them! "
As they squeezed, a girl was accidentally pushed by the people behind and bumped into Fang Juexia. Fang Juexia immediately bent down to help her.
"Are you okay?"
It was very chaotic. The girl grabbed Fang Juexia's arm to stand firm, and tears were coming out. "Thank, thank you, Juexia Ge." Other people were still squeezing. Before he knew it, the crowd had separated him from the main group.
His name was called everywhere. White lights flashed in front of his eyes, and Fang Juexia had a splitting headache.
"Juexia Ge!"
"Fang Juexia, look here!"
"Don't push forward anymore!"
"Juexia Ge, how long will you stay in Nanjing?!"
Suddenly, his arm was grabbed. There was a figure in the crowd going against the flow, pushing through the noisy wave and coming towards him.
"Ah, ah, ah, it's Pei Tingsong!"
Before Fang Juexia could react, Pei Tingsong had already taken off his baseball cap and put it on Fang Juexia's head. The brim of the cap was pressed low, covering half of his face. Then he pulled him in front of him, separated the others with his arm, and walked forward holding his shoulder.
The drowning people who were caught in the huge waves were suddenly rescued on the boat.
Pei Tingsong did not say a word. His face with sunglasses was expressionless as he looked straight ahead, and the hand holding his shoulder did not let go.
The two people who were left behind had a hard time escaping and got into the nanny van.
As soon as the door opened, Cheng Qiang asked, "Juexia, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. The one who fell was a fan." Fang Juexia got in, and Pei Tingsong followed him closely. When Fang Juexia saw him sitting next to him, Fang Juexia took off his cap and handed it to him.
Pei Tingsong pushed his sunglasses on his head and said in a light tone, "Wear it. You look good wearing it."
Fang Juexia was a little confused. When he was about to say something, he heard Pei Tingsong speak again.
"Anyway, your clothes are still with me."
The members cheered again. Pei Tingsong only felt that it was funny. It was as if he had returned to his high school days, when his classmates cheered at two ambiguous classmates.
No, why did he think that way?
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Kaleido arrived at noon to participate in the rehearsal with the senior group. When the senior group performed on the stage, the six of them watched from below.
It would be a lie to say that they were not envious. Fang Juexia looked up at the big stage and watched the senior group perform with tacit understanding. He felt a little emotional.
"When will we have our own concert?" Ling Yi sighed.
Jiang Miao put her index finger to her lips. "Shh …" He Ziyan smiled and put his arm around Ling Yi's little shoulder. "Soon, as long as we work hard enough."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "What are you worried about, Little Ling? Didn't you just solo at the TV station's year-end party?" Then he winked at Pei Tingsong. The youngest, who always liked to stir up trouble, quickly said, "Yeah, the milk tea shop next to the stadium just played the song you sang for the TV series. Brother Ling is really popular. "
"That's because the TV series is popular." Ling Yi grabbed Fang Juexia's arm as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw and shook it non-stop. "Juexia, they're all bullying me."
Juexia was so annoyed by him that he couldn't hide the smile on his face, but he didn't know how to help him. After thinking for a long time, he finally asked, "Then what should we do?"
Everyone laughed even harder. Only Ling Yi was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet.
Although they laughed, when it came to work, none of the six of them were careless. Although there weren't many songs to perform, they were even more serious than the High Five during the rehearsal. They were completely familiar with the choreography and positioning that they had rehearsed 24 hours ago. Both songs were done in one take, and the staff at the scene were all praising them.
After the concert officially started, the six of them waited in the backstage lounge to go on stage. The senior group's performance was shown on the broadcast screen, and everyone was watching it seriously. Pei Tingsong had never been interested in idol singing and dancing, even if he was in this line of work now. However, he looked at Fang Juexia, who was sitting on the other side, attentively. The gorgeous visual effects on the screen were projected in his eyes, flashing. His pupils seemed to have turned into beautiful glass beads, and there was a fire in them.
Did he like it that much?
Fang Juexia sat on the sofa, but he couldn't help but follow the dance moves in the song. The range was very small, and he actually looked a little cute.
Finally, before going on stage, they rehearsed again just in case.
In the past, Pei Tingsong almost never interacted with Fang Juexia on stage. Once they were off stage, they would sing one song and one dance. Every time they acted, they would be separated by the whole Kaledo. Later, whenever they appeared at the same time, Cheng Qiang would frantically hint at them. Even if they were slightly further away, he would be reminded, for fear that the rumors would stir up trouble again.
But now, Pei Tingsong couldn't help but look at him. For example, during the rehearsal just now.
Everyone had a different feeling when they danced.
Fang Juexia was 1.8 meters tall, and his limbs were long. When he danced, he was very eye-catching. His temperament on stage was also cold, but compared to his private life, he was much more aggressive and controlled. On stage, Fang Juexia was the best. This was the most common phrase used by fans.
The dance teacher in the company had said more than once that Lu Yuan and Fang Juexia both knew how to dance, but they were different. Lu Yuan was a street performer who worked his way up. On the technical level, even he, as a teacher, felt a little guilty, and always said that they were learning from each other.
On the other hand, Fang Juexia was a natural dancer. A dancer's ability was to firmly capture the audience's heart on stage. In this aspect, Fang Juexia was almost at a crushing level. He had the best innate conditions, an irreplicable stage temperament, and the best appearance. These were talents that others couldn't achieve even after thousands of practice. His limbs, his muscles, and even his shoulder blade hidden under the skin on his back could dance.
Pei Tingsong used to be dismissive of this saying, and thought it was too mysterious. But now that he really put down his prejudice and looked at it, he realized that he was indeed attracted to him when he danced. It was an uncontrollable attraction.
"Hey, hey!"
Ling Yi's loud voice snapped Pei Tingsong out of his daze. He looked in the direction of Pei Tingsong and saw Fang Juexia, who was adjusting the microphone.
"Oh! You're looking at Juexia! "
Ling Yi's voice was terrifyingly penetrating. With just one shout, everyone turned around, including the confused Fang Juexia himself.
Pei Tingsong hurriedly tried to distance himself. "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Ling Yi didn't let it go. "Your eyes were fixed on him just now. You ignored me when I spoke to you!"
"I …" When Pei Tingsong glanced at Fang Juexia again, he realized that he had already turned his head and wasn't looking in his direction. Hence, he changed the words he was about to say. "Okay, okay, okay. You're the number one guy. Whatever you say is right."
Fang Juexia glanced at Pei Tingsong through the mirror. He shrugged and didn't continue to pester Ling Yi, nor did he look at him.
Jiang Miao checked the time. "It should be our turn soon."
"Ten minutes! Kaledo stand by! "
"Okay!"
The staff brought them to the lift platform. Fang Juexia walked at the front. His pace wasn't fast, but it was almost as if he was sticking close to the staff next to him. The lights in the lift platform weren't very bright. The ground was crisscrossed with pipes, so it wasn't easy to walk. The six of them arrived at the designated location and stood in the positions they were supposed to perform in. The number of Kaleido members was an even number. Hence, the choreography was mostly done in the double C position. Usually, the double lead dancers or double ace dancers would take turns.
The opening was a double lead dance. Fang Juexia and Lu Yuan looked at each other and took a deep breath.
"Don't forget that we'll be returning from here later. The stage's floor will be flashing." The staff shouted into the walkie-talkie in the chaotic underground. "Kaledo stand by!"
The time on stage was very short.
From the moment the lift slowly ascended to the end of the stage with Pei Tingsong, Fang Juexia felt that only a second had passed, or maybe even less time had passed. The little clock in his heart was shattered by his crazy love for the stage and lost its function. Because he liked this place too much.
Everything he liked had a short shelf life.
Looking at the dark lampboards below the stage, in the blink of an eye, those bright orange support lights seemed to have turned into bright blue kaleidoscopes. The people below the stage turned the lampposts in their hands, projecting a magnificent light that belonged only to them.
"Hello everyone." Jiang Miao raised her head. The six of them raised their left hand and made a gesture together. "We are Kaleido!"
Every time he stood on the stage with everyone and said this sentence loudly, Fang Juexia felt that his thin life had weight and a sense of belonging.
He loved the stage and the team that had gone through all the lows together.
With their mission accomplished, the six big boys hurriedly returned to the lift where they were at the beginning and bowed to the stage hand in hand. The flashing guiding lights on the stage reminded everyone that it was almost twelve o 'clock in a fairy tale.
The lift slowly descended with a throbbing heart. Fang Juexia, who was in a trance, forgot to let go of his hand. He even forgot who he was closest to and who he was holding tightly as one of the double leads.
Their vision was getting darker and darker. The staff's hurried shouting could still be heard in the passage below the stage.
"Hey."
Suddenly, he heard a low voice. The next second, the hand that he was holding tightly grabbed his hand and lifted it up. The voice was smiling. "How long do you want to hold my hand?"
