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

Last week, the official straight-shot video of the music stock promotion stage was released. After a few days of data statistics, Hong Zhanglin had his first solo straight-shot video with a gap. Because it had a unique sense of comedy, the amount of data for this group straight-shot video increased rapidly.

A big fan reposted it and captioned: A live shot of a male idol’s shoes falling off on stage.

When the positions were initially dispersed, one of Hong Zhanglin's shoes fell off, but as an active idol, he reacted very well. He ignored the lost shoe and moved with one bare foot. He even had to stand on tiptoe to achieve basic balance for some movements because of the height difference between his left and right feet.

With the group straight shot, Xia Xinglang and Kim Seung-hyuk kicked their shoes away, Kim Seung-hyuk almost laughed out loud, and Che Jaehoon was stunned when he lowered his head after the interaction between the two. This scene made the comedy even stronger.

: Standing on tiptoe is so professional, this is how high the insole is

: Wow, the expression looks like you are trying not to laugh.

: The members are probably laughing!

: It's like a robot dancing

: The first time I saw an idol whose shoes fell off

: They are all very tall, no wonder the soles of their shoes are so thick.

: This is a comedian. The first comedian in the boy band, the first male comedian

Overall, it was a very topical stage. This straight shot became a hot search trend as they won the first place. More people paid attention to this group, and fans began to show their friendly side and tried to increase the favorability of passers-by. More people discovered that this song was the single that ranked first on the weekly chart.

They won first place in other music shows, their album was released that week, and its sales exceeded one million, with very good sales results and stable chart performance. They won first place trophies in five music shows this week. As a rookie group, they were able to sweep all the shows. Fans are happy for the honor, and they are also happy as members to receive the trophies.

The encore stage also had many new tricks, such as recreating the shoe-dropping stage, where Hong Zhanglin awkwardly took off his shoes: "You want me to do this, right?"

Xia Xinglang kicked the shoe away mercilessly. Hong Zhanglin said expressionlessly, "Little Wolf, go pick it up."

"Ok."

Music Stocks won first place, and Xia Xinglang, as the MC, presented the award to his own group, and the trophy never left his hand from beginning to end. During the encore stage, Xia Xinglang was held high by Huashanyuan Eiji, because Xiaolang is the youngest and should be loved by everyone.

Everyone took turns to hold Xia Xinglang, and Xiao Yu also hugged him reluctantly. Xia Xinglang thought to himself, it's not that I'm shameless and want to interact, everyone has hugged him, you, Xiao Yu, would be embarrassed to not hug him. But he didn't expect that Brother Zhang Lin was quite strong, and he could sing easily while hugging him.

Xia Xinglang waved towards the camera with a smile on his face.

"Is that enough?" Xiao Yu's voice trembled a little.

"Sing a few lines, Brother Xiao Yu," Xia Xinglang hurried down, fearing that he would fall down because he couldn't hold her. "I swear to..."

Xiao Yu panted slightly, with an expression of great effort, and gritted his teeth and said, "You are tall, it is difficult to hold you up."

"Then let me pick you up," Xia Xinglang pretended to hug him, but Xiao Yu pushed him away mercilessly, "No."

Xia Xinglang insisted on getting close to him and hugging his shoulders, saying coquettishly, "Brother, you are so cold to me, come and sing together, okay?"

Xiao Yu sang his part with all his might, and the encore stage ended. Everyone bowed and left the stage. Xiao Yu quickly gave Xia Xinglang the middle finger in the corridor backstage. Xia Xinglang did not return the gesture due to his idol burden, but silently gave him the middle finger in his heart.

When recording interview variety shows on weekends, their agents prepare scripts for them in advance, including some questions the host will ask and which parts need to be made to be funny.

Because they are a new group debuting, they need to create an impression of passers-by other than fans, so there is a recognition segment at the beginning. The host probably locates the contestants through their characteristics. After the interview, there is also a slightly intimate interaction, the pocky game, which is the chocolate cookie stick game.

A while ago, a variety show was very popular. One person would bite a piece, and the other person would start eating from the other end until their lips touched the piece. They could stop at any time, and the remaining part of the chocolate biscuit stick would be measured. The shorter the remaining length, the better, so that people could kiss openly through this game.

It’s like someone gave me a pillow when I was sleepy. How could I not seize such a good opportunity to be gay!

"Is it necessary to participate in this game?" Che Zaixun asked his assistant, and the answer he got was yes.

Although they are like gods to their fans, in terms of national and popular popularity, apart from two popular songs, the talent show theme song and the debut single of the same name, they have not made much of a splash among the public. Variety shows are meant to be funny and have topics to talk about. If only fans like to watch them, then why don't they record a group variety show?

"It's nothing. There's nothing wrong with a kiss from a boy." Xia Xinglang comforted him.

"That sounds nice..." Che Zaixun covered his lips, "Does anyone really like to watch it?"

"Well, a lot of people like to watch it," Xia Xinglang joked, "Brother Zaixun, let's kiss."

"..."

On the day of the program recording, everyone covered the name tags on their chests with stickers, leaving only numbers. The host invited several comedians to guess who they were, which is the so-called recognition segment.

All comedians have heard of them, which shows that this talent show is really popular, but it is still difficult to match specific people with each other.

The seven of them stood in a row, wearing the same school idol uniforms.

The host said: "Let's look at the first one, Xia Xinglang. The word 'wolf' is in his name, so he should be very wild."

Comedian's uncle: "I guess it's the tallest one."

Hanayamain Eiji pointed at himself: "Me?"

Uncle: "No, it's the blond boy."

Jin Chengxie and Xia Xinglang pointed at themselves at the same time.

Uncle: "Well, since you are wild, let's try howling like a wolf."

Kim Seung Hyuk made his hands into the shape of wolf claws: "Ouch!"

Xia Xinglang: "Awooo!"

"Are you playing Golden Retriever?"

Everyone laughed. In order to match the funny effect of the show, laughing also requires some knowledge. It can't be too loud and it can't be silent. It can't be too awkward and the laughter can't be too dry, nor can it be too exaggerated and dominate the show. You have to laugh just right, while clapping your hands to make it look really funny, as if you were really laughing. The effect is better with canned laughter.

"I guess it's the taller one, the blond one," the uncle began to make a choice.

"Why?" the host asked, "Is there any basis for this choice?"

"Because he has thick eyebrows."

"What's the reason?"

Jin Chengxie smiled and shook his head: "No, my name is not Xia Xinglang."

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Kim Seung Hyuk tore off the sticker on his chest, revealing his name tag: "I am the captain of jup1ter, Kim Seung Hyuk."

"Ah, the captain!" The uncle responded in unison, "So he looks like the captain, and he looks quite old."

Kim Seung Hyuk shook his head frantically: "I'm only 18!"

"Today's high school students are very mature..."

"Who is the real Xia Xinglang?"

"Ah, I made the wrong choice. This time I should start with Xing, the guy with bright hair."

Xia Xinglang was finally chosen: "Yes, I am Xia Xinglang."

"What's your location?"

"I'm the youngest in the team."

"How old?"

Xia Xinglang smiled cheerfully: "17 years old."

"You were all very young," the man in sunglasses said, "Let me think about it. I just debuted 17 years ago. You were born when I just debuted."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Hanayama Ineji is the easiest to identify because of her long, straight legs and good proportions. The second is Yoon Dongho, because he looks like a star and is said to have been a star since birth. He immediately endorsed a milk powder commercial.

Hong Zhanglin and Cha Jae-hoon are already recognizable active idols. After the process of elimination, the remaining person is Xiao Yu.

Most of the interview questions focused on the talent show. The theme songs of previous shows were heard from time to time in the studio, and everyone was talking about interesting things. Halfway through the show, they started dancing to the previous theme song, which was randomly adapted to sound like some kind of radio gymnastics.

Next was the much anticipated pocky game. It was impossible for 7 people to pair up in pairs to play all 21 combinations, so everyone paired up in pairs. This way there would be one extra person. Xiao Yu originally wanted to withdraw, but Xia Xinglang and the host repeatedly and strongly requested it, so Xia Xinglang, Huashanyuan Yingzhi, and Xiao Yu formed a group.

A strange grouping, but the game started quickly.

Yoon Dong-ho and Kim Seung-hyeok, Hong Jang-rim and Cha Jae-hoon, Ha Seong-lang and Hwasanwon Young-ji.

Team 1, Yoon Dong-ho and Kim Seung-hyuk.

"Are you two childhood friends? Have you ever kissed before?"

Yin Donghao shook his head decisively: "No, it's impossible."

Jin Chengxie thought about it carefully and said, "But there is an indirect reason. I often eat Donghao's snacks."

"Wow, brothers are quite affectionate. Have you ever taken a bath together?"

Yin Donghao: "We swam together."

Kim Seung Hyuk: "I've seen them changing clothes when practicing dancing before."

Yin Donghao: "...What have you seen?"

Kim Seung-hyuk smiled and said nothing.

Yoon Donghao held the chocolate bar in his mouth while Kim Seunghyuk slowly bit the chocolate end and attacked. Yoon Donghao was the type who played games very seriously, and Seunghyuk almost laughed several times during the game. Yoon Donghao turned his face slightly to the side, which was really like the preparation before a kiss. The camera gave a close close-up, and with the sound of biting cookies, their lips were so close that they were about to kiss, but Kim Seunghyuk couldn't stop laughing and had to back out first.

"how long?"

Kim Seung-hyeok put his hand on Yoon Dong-ho's shoulder, lowered his head and smiled.

Yin Donghao measured the remaining biscuit with a ruler and found it was 2cm.

The second team, Hong Zhanglin and Che Zaixun.

"Hong Zhanglin and Che Zaixun are old partners, like an old couple!" said the uncle with sunglasses.

"Old couple..." Hong Zhanglin was a little allergic to this sentence, "Not at all."

Che Zaixun is the shy type: "If I have to say, I have a better relationship with Zhang Lin."

The man in sunglasses asked, "Who else are you close to?"

Che Jae-hoon said, "Xia Xinglang, Xiaolang, and Hua Shanyuan Yingzhi are roommates in the dormitory, so the three of us live in one room."

"If you had to choose someone as your boyfriend, who would you choose?"

Che Zaixun: "...I don't know. I don't want to choose."

"Where is Zhang Lin? If the members of the group were to choose a boyfriend, who would they choose?"

Hong Zhanglin pointed to Che Zaixun without hesitation: "Because I have known this guy for a longer time."
