Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

The showcase ended smoothly. Considering that Xia Xinglang had just recovered, the choreography of "Moon Rise" had to abandon violent movements, and many subtle shoulder movements that were originally designed were also deleted.

The stage costumes rarely adopt hollow clothing design. The sleeveless high-necked vest has a hollow at the collarbone. In order to reflect the feeling of pain, the clothes have many chain straps.

＜Moonrise＞, when the moon rises, it announces the beginning of the night and is connected with dreams.

There is a line in the lyrics, 'We will not be separated/The night sky will keep us closely connected'. The fans of the group are very moved, but they have to face the reality that Youngji is no longer there, so some people will specially make stage face-changing videos, replacing their idols' faces with other idols as a consolation.

It’s not really a meal replacement, because he just borrowed the body of another male idol, but his face is still Yingzhi.

Xia Xinglang was really shocked when he saw the relevant video. Technology is so advanced that the sense of incongruity is zero. If the height of this "body" was not wrong and it was shorter than Yingzhi, it would really not be visible.

The company officially banned the production of such videos, as it not only causes harm to the idols being replaced, but also infringes on Yingzhi’s portrait rights.

On Tuesday’s “Music Countdown”, JP1 returned for the first time this year and the audience still has high expectations for them.

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Hello everyone, I am MC Seung Hyuk, and for today's guest MC, please welcome me with applause."

"Hello everyone, I'm today's MC, Xinglang." Xia Xinglang finally figured out the configuration of this music show. It turns out that the guest MCs are all invited from the music show guests of that week. The home MC is only Kim Seung-hyuk, but his partner changes every week.

This is the second time that Xia Xinglang has partnered with Jin Chengxie: "Chengxie brother, since I am here, are the other brothers here too?"

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Young Ji hasn't met us yet."

Xia Xinglang: "But we had a video chat yesterday, and Yingzhi said he was watching our live broadcast."

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Young Ji, are you watching? If you are, remember to call me tonight."

Xia Xinglang blew a kiss towards the camera: "If you're still watching, give Yingzhi a kiss."

Jin Chengxie looked at him and said, "Xiaolang, I believe that Yingzhi will definitely remember this sentence!"

Xia Xinglang looked around: "Okay, then I'll go call the remaining four brothers out, Brother Donghao, Brother Zhanglin, Brother Xiaoyu, Brother Zaixun! Where are you?"

Kim Seung Hyuk went over the script with him: "Oh, just wait in the back."

"Shine your star! We are jup1er!"

Everyone greeted the camera, and Cha Jae-hoon sighed, "Before, there were five people, but with six people, it feels more powerful. I really hope all seven people are here to chant slogans together."

I will say half of my feelings first and start with the introduction of this comeback EP. The five songs are all centered around the concepts of night and moon. The flowers are Epiphyllums that bloom at night, and the moon rises refers to the appearance of the moon at night. There is no English word for moon rise, but there is sunrise for the sun, so why doesn't there is moon rise for the moon? When the moon rises, it must represent the arrival of a dream, and hope is a beautiful dream.

Kim Seung Hyuk held up a cue card and said, "When I arrived at our group, I felt like I was being introduced by a family member, haha."

"Then," Xia Xinglang raised his cue card, and Jin Chengxie shouted with him, "3, 2, 1, play the music!"

Music promotion programs are divided into live performances and recorded stages. "Music Countdown" relied on live performances in the early stage, but gradually changed its strategy and moved towards recorded performances, because this has a higher tolerance rate and is also easier to control the length of the show.

The stage being played now was a pre-recorded one. Everyone was wearing pure white clothes, with strap designs and complicated chains. Xia Xinglang recalled the performance of "Her" by him, Yingzhi, and Che Jaehoon during the third public performance. The performance was based on the concept of The Phantom of the Opera. The bandages used at that time can actually be used here.

The stage has always reserved a spot for Yingzhi, even though Yingzhi has always said that he would let Hong Zhanglin or Xia Xinglang sing his part, in the end he decided to leave it blank.

The third season of the group variety show has been launched. Last month, five people recorded it. Xia Xinglang watched that episode in the hospital room. Because there were fewer people, playing games was not fun. The theme of the new season of the group variety show is to return to the outdoors, camping in the wild, just like their first season of the group variety show, camping and picnic in the wild, watching the stars at night.

This time they were at a camping site in the mountains. The six of them were easy to group. This was the only advantage. They could be divided into three or two groups, and no one would be left out. As they arrived at the camping site, they were divided into three groups. Xia Xinglang and Jin Chengxie were responsible for collecting firewood, Che Zaixun and Xiao Yu were responsible for processing food, and Yin Donghao and Hong Zhanglin were responsible for setting up tents.

The cameraman followed them specifically, and the Xia Xing Wolf was already deep into the woods, with the leaves rustling under his feet.

"Battery!" The cameraman saw the battery level warning and rushed back to replace the spare battery. "Why don't we go back?"

Jin Chengxie and he now have little firewood in their hands: "We will look for it nearby, we won't wander around."

The cameraman trotted along with the camera on his shoulder. Xia Xinglang noticed that Jin Chengxie walked very carefully: "Does your ankle still hurt?"

Kim Seung Hyuk squatted down and said, "We took an X-ray and it said it was a fractured bone."

Xia Xinglang: "Isn't that serious?"

Kim Seung Hyuk shook his head: "It's an old injury."

Xia Xinglang chatted with him for a while, and Jin Chengxie didn't say much about himself. They planned to drive to the camping site at the foot of the mountain to buy bundles of firewood.

The driver took them down the mountain and bought firewood at the camping site. When they wanted to go back, they couldn't find the driver. Perhaps the cameraman got in the car and went back first, but they didn't have their cell phones with them, so they were left at the foot of the mountain. It was completely dark at this time, and it was definitely impossible to walk up the mountain.

Xia Xinglang found an empty spot and sat down: "We two have been abandoned."

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Call the company. I remember the agent's number. I'll contact the camp manager."

Xia Xinglang followed him. The camp was completely dark, all the lights were out, and only the public toilet was lit.

Kim Seung Hyuk: “…”

Xia Xinglang: "Let's just wait in the public toilet."

Kim Seung Hyuk saw the car lights in the distance and ran over: "The manager must have noticed that we are not here and came to look for us!"

Xia Xinglang was not in high spirits. He had spent most of the day hiking and had not eaten. Jin Chengxie called him to hurry up and catch up. The driver actually came down the mountain to find him, waving at them with a flashlight. Jin Chengxie shouted, "We are here! Here!"

The mountain road is very difficult to walk on. There are no stone steps, only mud roads. It used to be a forest farm, and the steps were trampled out by the workers. If it weren't for the filming of the group variety show, no one would have come to this damn place. Xia Xinglang looked at the flashlight in front of him and raised his hand to block it. In almost the blink of an eye, Kim Seung-hyuk disappeared.

“Seunghyup hyung?”

Xia Xinglang looked around and finally found that Jin Chengxie had missed a step and fell a long way.

“Seung Hyup hyung!”

Xia Xinglang was afraid that Jin Chengxie was injured. Chengxie's side was covered with dirt and he looked very embarrassed.

"So annoying! So tired!" Kim Seung Hyuk squatted down on the spot, buried his head, huddled up, and pounded the ground hard, his voice gradually becoming quieter, "Why..."

"Brother, what did you just say?"

Kim Seung Hyuk yelled, "Why am I so unlucky when I'm with you? So miserable!"

Xia Xinglang apologized foolishly: "I'm sorry."

Jin Chengxie finally exploded: "I have been so embarrassed in front of you, I cried in front of you, and you overheard me saying those words, even Donghao was there, why can't you stay away from me!"

Xia Xinglang: "Has Chengxie been pretending before?"

Kim Seung Hyuk said expressionlessly, “Yes.”

Xia Xinglang: "Chengxie bro."

"Don't call me that!"

Xia Xinglang said nothing and brushed the dirt off his body.

Kim Seung Hyuk's brows were filled with anger: "Do you know? In the last round of the talent show, I arranged for you guys with the worst vocal skills to be selected into that group, because I wanted you to be eliminated...Haha, in the end you were number one. Although you beat Donghao, Donghao is finally not number one, but at the same time, it also makes me look like a failure as someone who always wanted to beat Donghao..."

"How am I inferior to you in terms of my abilities and looks?" Kim Seung-hyuk continued to talk to himself. "The longer you stand in the middle, the more depressed I feel. When the car accident happened, I was thinking..."

Xia Xinglang stood up. Jin Chengxie was very negative now. He was easily angered. It was unclear how much truth there was in what he said: "Let's go back."

Kim Seung Hyuk shut up obediently.
