Chapter Eighty: Inviting Friends

oom supervisor often encourages and praises us, saying things like 'you will definitely have a chance to debut' , but when you hear it too much, it doesn’t really have much effect. Now, many people ar...This period of time, because of a series of events previously and the recent departure of some members from the group, the entire ** has felt like it's weathering a storm. In just under a week, the internet is filled with discussions about 9/30.

Regardless of who is to blame for the disbandment, ONCEs were already in a state of deep disappointment and extreme anger. Adding fuel to the fire, Girls' Generation's immense popularity drew significant attention. The fact that the agency was slow to address the situation after a member left, and then immediately announced the return of a new girl group, felt like a direct attempt to replace Girls' Generation with Red Velvet, enraging most fans and many casual observers.

Adding to the already existing hate for Red Velvet, some fans of other groups and some so-called "Aelis" joined in, turning ** and Red Velvet's reputations into something incredibly negative within a short amount of time.

Especially, ** specifically introduced the two styles of Red Velvet in the announcement, "Red" and "Velvet," and also gave a brief explanation of these two styles.

This kind of explanation had the opposite effect, making other fans even angrier.

"

What do you mean, red You jerk!

"

"Is there anyone who cares about what this parrot group's style is like Everyone around me hates this girl group."

"Can you please disband this girl group of quadruplets They're embarrassing to look at. It's annoying just seeing them."

"We want Girls' Generation, we want Jessi!" The first season of the show has wrapped up filming. Its ratings for this first season were average, and later on, due to some events, members left one after another, causing the production team to decide in September to cut the season short and start preparing for a second season.

He didn't really benefit much from this variety show, to be honest. Besides fans praising him as handsome, sincere, and cute (all those rainbow compliments), there wasn't much practical effect. His follower count didn't increase noticeably.

And the second season, which was already well-prepared, seamlessly connected with the first and began airing at the end of September. I heard that Sunny has also joined as a fixed guest.

After all this time, it seems like all she can do is be a variety show star.

Do Kyung-soo's drama "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" has also ended, with a final average viewership rating of 10%. This result can only be described as barely satisfactory, and even for this cast featuring actors like Zhao Yincheng, Kong Hyo-jin, and Lee Kwang-soo, it can only be said to be average.

However, the word of mouth is pretty good, at least D.O. received a lot of praise in it. It's a good start for his acting career.

Chi Jingyuan has been staying at the film set these days, and there is only more than a week left before its official broadcast.

Recently, the production team has officially started pre-promotion. Park Kyung-won received numerous media interviews due to his popularity and high attention. In two days, a press conference for the TV series will be held, where he, as the male lead, will definitely be a focus of the promotion.

He had just finished an interview for a magazine and was now taking a break. Ji Chang Wook was lying in the nanny car, watching the latest episode of Girls' Generation TTS's reality show "The Taetiseo" on his phone.

In this episode, he participated in the filming as a friend of Taeyeon's.

A while back, I heard that Girls' Generation had renewed their contract and Kim Taeyeon mentioned it during a phone call. Afterward, her agency quickly sent over the shooting schedule. After looking at the time arrangements, Ji Chang Wook agreed to it.

That's to say, I only made a brief appearance, and the whole recording process took just a few hours; it wasn't very demanding. After wrapping up filming, we spent about two weeks editing and post-producing, and today it's finally officially released.

I'll have to head back to the set later. Even with my break time, it's not long enough to finish a whole episode. So Ji-yeong just fast-forwarded directly to when he was about to appear on screen and started watching.

TTS three people are now sitting in the nanny car. They just bought a lot of food and pastries and are preparing to return to the recording variety show apartment for a small party. Now they are each inviting a friend over to stay, and this moment is discussing and analyzing everyone's social circle, looking

Who can we invite as a guest

"Oni, you go first." From the backseat, Seohyun smiled mischievously at Taeyeon, letting her choose.

To be honest, besides the members, I don't really have many friends. I really don't." Kim Taeyeon didn't even look at the camera, her eyes were fixed on the road ahead, her expression was somewhat serious as she repeated herself.

"I'm not really sure who to call…" She looked a bit hesitant, as if this job of inviting friends was truly quite difficult for her.

"Heechul Oppa"

"Financing I once worked with a friend on a concert."

"key"

Later, Hwang Mi-young and Seo Hyun came up with suggestions, all of whom were people who had a better relationship with Kim Tae-yeon. However, after some discussion, they were all passed over.

"Maybe it's him after all," Taeyeon seemed to have made a decision after thinking for a long time. She took out her phone but hesitated, addressing the camera and the two younger sisters behind her: "I'm going to contact this relative first, but...it might be difficult to get a response."

"Huh What kind of friend doesn't even respond" Seo-hyun burst out laughing. "There's no way that's how friends act..."

"It's... a bit..." Kim Taeyeon also laughed, feeling that what she said was exaggerated, and quickly waved her hand to explain: "It's mainly because this relative is very busy. They're really super busy lately with a lot of schedules, and they're also known to be a little hard to get close to, so I don't know if my choice is good or not."

When seeing this, Ji-yeong couldn't help but laugh out loud. In fact, he had already contacted the production team before filming this segment, and the person was already at the scene. He even chatted with Taeyeon and the others for a while before filming. At this time, Jin Taeyeon in the camera lens looked solemn and hesitant, just like real life, her acting skills are pretty good.

She also has a good variety show sense, knows how to create suspense and build atmosphere, no wonder sone on the internet all say that the younger generation's variety show mainstay in those first few years after debut was U-li Taeyeon.

Then Seo Hyun and Hwang Mi-young each introduced the relatives they wanted to invite, without directly naming them. Instead, they both used exaggerated tones to describe them, leaving everyone curious.

After finishing her speech, Kim Tae-yeon picked up the phone, sighed dramatically for a moment, and made a slightly nervous expression before dialing the other party's number:

Hello, happiness!

"I want it all!"

Hearing this cheerful and somewhat familiar ringtone, Kim Taeyeon's eyes widened instantly. The following Seo Hyun and Hwang Mi-young also immediately reacted and cheered, shouting: "Ah, this is a Red Velvet song!"

Three people suddenly seemed to get into the spirit and sang along: "llll, let's dream!"

At this time, a subtitle on the left side of the screen introduces the song title: "《happess》", accompanied by a group photo of the four members of Ladebebe.

The phone didn't go through directly, but instead waited until three people finished singing the chorus before finally picking up.

"Nuna, what's wrong"

"Jǐngyuán ah."

"Pool, Jingyuan"

Kim Taeyeon quickly responded.

However, the program edited this part out. His voice calling Nuna and Taeyeon's voice calling Ji-yeong's name were both removed to avoid revealing the suspense so quickly.

Only Chi Jingyuan's voice is quite distinctive. If it were Ai, she would probably recognize it instantly.

Do you have some time later

Over the phone, Chi Jingyuan pondered for a moment:

"Well then, why don't you tell me what's on your mind first."

First release on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkup, and a whirlwind of unfortunate events had been rocking the agency. From rumors of Jihoon dating, Byun Baekhyun’s dating scandal surfacing, HAN’s departure from Seventeen, f(x)’s premature end to a...
