At the hot pot restaurant, Jie Chou came out wearing an apron to greet everyone. Since the restaurant was booked out and it was late, some of the staff had already left for the night, so Jie Chou offered to help.
Zhao Shengnan wandered around curiously. The decoration of this hot pot restaurant was so beautiful. The outside was an ancient Hui-style building, while the inside was decorated in a modern Chinese style, with small bridges and flowing water, creating a unique and secluded atmosphere.
Besides enjoying hot pot, you could also take photos and admire the beautiful scenery here.
However, only Zhao Shengnan was appreciating the beauty; everyone else rushed in and immediately wanted to eat.
Guan Liangzhe, Lan Tianyou, and Yang Rongjun sat at a table, drinking and chatting happily.
The girl group split into two small tables and ate in silence. After singing and dancing all night and sitting still, the tables were filled with nothing but fruit and drinks. They were starving.
As for Nan Xiangwan, she was at a separate table with Gu Beihuai. Her mouth was already full, and Gu Beihuai was peeling shrimp for her.
When Zhao Shengnan returned after taking a round of photos, she was surprised to find that everyone had finished their first round of eating and was now having their second round.
She hurriedly looked around for Xiao Dong, wanting to ask which table would be suitable for her, as she also wanted to start eating quickly. In this atmosphere, it was as if being a second late would mean missing out on a fortune!
But after searching for a long time, she found that Xiao Dong was not in the hall, and something seemed to be moving against the curtain in the back kitchen.
Out of curiosity, Zhao Shengnan walked over and, with a whoosh, pulled open the curtain!
Suddenly, a man and a woman embracing and kissing were revealed. Then, they both turned their heads, one with a look of confusion in his eyes, and the other screaming in fright.
In the distance, Nan Xiangwan was stunned, and her chopsticks fell to the ground with a “clatter”.
Gu Beihuai’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Everyone else stopped what they were doing, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to look at them.
Xiao Dong quickly covered her face! How embarrassing!
Jie Chou was so frightened that he even forgot to loosen his grip on Xiao Dong…
Zhao Shengnan was shocked and extremely embarrassed. She apologized repeatedly and then pulled the curtain shut tightly.
Xiao Dong: “…”
Jie Chou: “It’s over.”
The next second, various strange noises came from the hall.
Especially Yang Rongjun, the old baby, was a typical example of someone who loved to watch the drama unfold. He actually shouted loudly in the direction of the curtain, “The curtain is closed! You guys continue! We can’t see!”
Everyone: “Hahaha!”
Yang Rongjun: “Hey, little girl with fair skin, come eat at my table. Don’t be afraid, those two won’t dare to hit you!”
Everyone was laughing so hard they could hardly stand it.
After the meal, the group ate until they were stuffed, and on the way back they were still gossiping about Xiao Dong and Jie Chou.
Nan Xiangwan specially got into Xiao Dong’s car and asked questions along the way.
To ease the awkwardness, Jie Chou didn’t get into Xiao Dong’s car, but instead got into Gu Beihuai’s car, attempting to explain and salvage his image in Fox’s eyes.
The two cars were going in the same direction, one in front of the other, but the conversations inside were completely different.
Xiao Dong’s face was flushed red; she felt she couldn’t explain herself.
Nan Xiangwan greeted him with a smile, “Oh, are you asleep?”
Xiao Dong: “Mm.”
Nan Xiangwan perked up: “How are you feeling?”
Xiao Dong: “President Nan, you don’t look like a female celebrity at all right now.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Tell me quickly! Isn’t it exciting?”
Xiao Dong: “…”
On the other side, in Gu Beihuai’s car, the two remained calm throughout the journey, but Jie Chou was driven to the brink of death.
Gu Beihuai glanced at him, a half-smile on his face: “Piltover policewoman?”
Jie Chou lowered his head to his chest, remaining silent the entire way.
Gu Beihuai: “Yeah, the Piltover policewoman has become your girlfriend.”
Revenge is driving me crazy! Fox, you’re so vengeful! You still remember things from so many chapters ago!
….
That night and into the next day, the hype surrounding Destiny Girls’ new album reached an astonishing level. Fans were eagerly anticipating it and even began guessing its style and direction. 99% of them were guessing it would be in the style of traditional Chinese music, while the remaining 1% were guessing it would be science fiction.
Because the album was called “Star Gate,” it felt like science fiction?
After careful consideration, the official Weibo account of Destiny Girls released the following message:
[Destiny Girls’ new album features Chinese style music]
It truly embodied the spirit of traditional Chinese style!
Meanwhile, the girl group YUIOP and the boy group QWER teamed up to fight against fate.
While they called it a “tear-down,” they didn’t actually engage in it themselves. Instead, they used other methods to subtly and sarcastically allude to it. They wouldn’t dare to smear or spread rumors, as that would get their accounts banned by the relevant authorities.
But it’s okay to tear each other apart. We’re all competitors. If a competitor gets too popular, isn’t it normal to suppress them a bit?
Thus, amidst the fervent discussions and wild anticipation surrounding Destiny Girls’ new album, some differing viewpoints emerged.
Some people started a long analysis, saying that the first album “Fertile Fields” was already in the Chinese style, and Nan Xiangwan’s songs also had a strong Chinese style. Whether it is “Fertile Fields” or “Jianzhong”, they all seemed to be Chinese style songs related to war. Will they get tired of the songs?
This made a lot of sense to many people.
While it was exciting to bring traditional Chinese music to the world stage, it would still be unpopular if one pursued these aspects at the expense of the song itself.
At the same time, they hoped that Destiny Girls would withstand the pressure and not keep working blindly just because traditional Chinese music was now popular. If you do the same thing all the time, you will eventually be abandoned.
Seeing that the timing was right, the girl group YUIOP and the boy group QWER continued to release information.
The two groups are about to collaborate on a new song with a science fiction theme!
The highly anticipated movie “Starry Night” was about to be released, and the company behind it wanted to take advantage of this momentum to generate buzz.
Based on some leaked photos and behind-the-scenes footage, Starry Night was definitely worth watching, and the special effects company and budget behind the scenes had also been revealed.
The special effects cost over 500 million! Who else can compare?
Furthermore, some sources revealed that the lead actress Nan Xiangwan did not receive a single penny, and the male lead Gu Beihuai also did not receive any payment. Only supporting actors such as Lan Tianyou received their salaries. The total amount paid to all these actors, including their salaries for promotional events and staff, amounted to only 150 million yuan.
The remaining 300 million was all spent on props and set design!
It was said that in order to achieve realism, director Pang Kaiji recreated the shape of the spaceship from the original work one-to-one. Of course, it could not actually fly because the technology could not support it.
As a result, Nan Xiangwan almost ruined the whole thing, and Director Pang was so angry he wanted to hit someone!
….
While all sorts of weirdos and freaks were popping up online, Zhao Tiancheng secretly took all the members of the Destiny Girls group away to a secluded film studio.
This was for the music video. There was no music video for the last album, but we’ll definitely have to make one for this new album.
Because of the science fiction style of ancient astronomy, the popularity will double with the help of a corresponding music video!
The official Weibo account’s announcement wasn’t wrong, it was just half-truths. As for those people online jumping around like clowns, just wait until January 20th to see them proven wrong.
After listening to Nan Xiangwan’s song, Zhao Tiancheng felt that he had to produce the music video no matter how much it cost.
So Nanbei Entertainment rented a studio overnight and invited a well-known director and technical team to start filming. It is worth mentioning that the technical team and the company behind the special effects were provided by the director, Pang Kaiji, through his connections.
It was from the same company as Starry Night!
