Chapter 334: Fools, Kneel!
May 10th, half past five in the morning
"yes, that's it, okay, be careful! I'm going to customize a stage again! "People in the vicinity of Tokyo Plaza were woken up by the sound of the construction team just before dawn, but they didn't think so, because the reason why the prices here are cheap even though it's in the middle of the city, because every once in a while people come here to perform
"It's the same group of students again, right?" A migrant worker who slept in the company but was woken up asked his colleague after lighting a cigarette with a match
"Ah, their school simply changed its name to the Idol Tiantuan," the colleague yawned and said helplessly, "But it's understandable, after all, it's the children who have won two international gold medals in just over a year."
"I've heard that we've recruited a lot of new people this year."
"The price of tickets is going to increase again," the two of them sighed as they sat at their desks
"Meiko, is it really good to have to set up the venue so early every time" The man who held the ice cream in his hand before it was the month when he should have eaten ice drinks sighed, "If we continue like this, we won't be a nuisance to the people."
"It's called prevention before it happens, isn't it too late to rush to set it up," the woman in the red jacket and leather boots glared back at him, "Don't forget that the last time you came to set up the venue, it turned out to be a lesson in the open-air concert."
"Because I'm naturally loose~ As long as it's not the time to burn my eyebrows, I don't need to worry," the man said with a chuckle
"I'm sorry, but I'm naturally quick-tempered and short-tempered, and I'm not going to be able to do it well in my life" After watching the huge circular stage being placed in the center of the square, Meiko nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, the vehicle that will be responsible for hanging the lights and seats should also arrive"
"Why don't we set up the stage at Tokyo Dome or somewhere else? It would be inconvenient to occupy the plaza every time, "Tokyo Plaza is enough to serve as a concert venue, but it is certain that it will disturb the normal life of the people around you
"What is the purpose of our orchestra, give you three seconds to answer"
"Use applause as a ticket to watch~"
"yes, how many people can fit in those sealed spaces? How big is the plaza here, basically everyone in Tokyo can hear the singing, right?"
"Here you go, but why don't you always call him by his English name but by his real name?"
"He's a broker, it's easy for people to know his relationship with us by calling his English name or code, and it's forbidden for relatives to be brokers or something," Meiko motioned to him to be quieter after dialing the phone
"Hey, Kamui, hurry up"
"I'm already here in Chinatown, five minutes away"
"Smart" After throwing the phone directly to Kaito, Meiko looked at all this in front of her with satisfaction, "Oops, oops~ It's really nice to see Lian and Suzu singing on stage~"
"You've said this N times before, you're only twenty-five or sixteen years old now, and it's not impossible to sing solo," Kaito said after shrugging his shoulders
"It's a pity, I'm not interested in going to the show anymore, just drink at home and wait for a good man to get married"
"Anyway, Luka also went to find a job as a music teacher, do you really want Hatsune to use those bonuses to support you?"
"People who eat ice cream at home every day are embarrassed to talk about me."
"Whew, although I say every day, isn't half of the wine in the refrigerator all your refrigerated wine?"
"I'm glad, if you don't accept it, you can buy a new refrigerator yourself"
"You won" In the face of this big sister in charge, he didn't dare to say a few more words
"But there's still a quota until the scheduled start time, and there are still fourteen hours left, and the two of us are just waiting here?"
"Then take the eggplant's car to the school to see Lian and Suzu."
"Okay, but don't make any of any mistakes."
"Rest assured~" So soon after they explained the general situation of the stage layout, they rushed to the school by car
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of idols
"I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to go in" stopped by a strange man at the door, "No one is allowed in here now, especially adults with raw faces"
"If you teachers can go in, why can't I go in?" Meiko dissatisfied
"Look there," the man pointed to the central area of the campus, where three or four men dressed as teachers were hanging from the branches, "These are our teachers here."
"Wow," Kaito exclaimed, "Sure enough, there are like-minded people in the school."
"It's crazy...... I'm Hatsune's older sister, so it's okay for my sister to find my sister, right? Meiko could only reluctantly reveal her identity, "My name is Meiko"
"Please wait," the man casually opened the door and walked into the ministry
"She said!" The man hurriedly dodged Meiko's heavy straight punch
"Oops? It seems to be a bit of a foundation, worthy of being a gatekeeper, but I don't understand the rules" Meiko smiled on her face, and then silently moved her muscles, "Do you know that you can't go in the backstage of idols casually?" ”
"I know, but!" This time it was an extremely vicious kick that targeted a common weakness of men
"Sister Meiko, hurry up and stop!! Chongjun is a good person! ”
"What does it mean to be a good person! There should be no honorific titles for such people! ”
"Eldest sister, he's only sixteen years old this year! It's our classmates! ”
(This Nima is simply adding fuel to the fire!! Chong couldn't help but roar in his heart
"Huh? Turns out not yet an adult? Oops, it's really terrifying~" Nima actually stopped?! Is this person Zhengtaikong?! But I'm not Shota at all!
"Meiko is very friendly to people who are capable at a young age" Kaito walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "But you are really tall, and you have a promising future as a bodyguard~"
"Forget it, let's go inside, but you have to remember to knock on the door before you can go inside, you know? You can't go in the backstage of idols casually" suddenly became gentle, and it seems that I'm really good to be a minor
"But what are you doing today, big sister?" Jingyin Ling asked sweetly after moving a chair for the two of them, and Chongze, who was ignored and could only stand next to him, had long been used to it
"Suzu, don't you have an outdoor practice at night, sorry, but is there any ice cream sold at school?"
"There should be, I'll check it out now"
"And what about the wine?"
"How is it possible in school"
"Drinks are available everywhere, you can buy them at the back door of the sake cafeteria, the red wine is refrigerated in the basement, you can get a few bottles of liquor at any time in the security room, and if you want to drink Chinese Erguotou or Moutai Wuliangye, you have to go to the teacher's desk to read it, but it depends on luck."
"Wow"
"Who the hell are hired in this school?"
"Hey~ Sister, did you go to the square to set up the stage again?" Jing Yinling said helplessly, "How many times have I said that these are just rehearsals, originally it was just to charter a small venue and then find some people as an audience to train our on-stage ability, but every time it was a live performance, everyone else was under a lot of pressure."
"These are all necessary elements to become an idol in the future, since you have chosen this path, don't regret it" A slightly cold female voice came from outside the door, "In the first lesson, we told you about the burden you have to bear after becoming an idol, and it will be helpful for you to bear it in advance while you can still receive the highest level of protection"
"Luka" Meiko waved at it, "You can't make it through the night"
"It's my turn to be on duty today, so naturally I'll follow along" Luka stood motionless next to Chong after flicking his long hair, "Suzu, how are you practicing?"
"Very good" Kagamine replied with a nod that she was not afraid of anyone except Meiko-sama, even Sister Luka, who was known as the iceberg beauty
"Rena Ogata will be watching you perform today, a little harder than when you normally practice," Luka said, "She's also one of the best developed stars in the current world, so remember to ask her a few questions before going on stage, and let her talk about her feelings if you can."
"Understood~" Hatsune and Kagamine immediately smiled and saluted
"Oh, by the way, you remember traveling with you tonight," Luka suddenly turned to him, "and you should be pretty good at breaking up crowds in Hatsune's car, right?" ”
"Okay" Chong nodded to show that he understood that he had indeed done this many times
"Then it's time for the others to come over Meiko, you two don't stay here and disturb them to practice, take the car back"
"Yes, yes, yes~ I'm looking forward to my sisters' performances in the evening~" So Meiko left the ministry with Keito
"Then I will also take my leave" After closing the door of the ministry from the outside, he went straight to the classroom, anyway, there are teachers here, and he is only responsible for the "travel" part
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of the concert
"Doodoo !!" Eight police cars kept flashing police lights and horns on the wide road, four black-skinned sedans behind them drove closely together, and both sides of the street had long been covered by warning lines, and from time to time you could see heavily armed anti-riot police shuttling in the crowd, the whistling of helicopters in the sky, and some people could faintly see the silver light of machine guns flashing on the helicopter, this is not the President of the United States visiting Japan, because Japan will only prepare a bulletproof Toyota for him and the wife he brought himself (yes, He didn't bring bodyguards), this is not His Excellency the Emperor coming to inspect the people, in fact, His Excellency the Emperor's antique tricycle is slowly driving through the back of the street, it is just a group of students who are still in the school coming out to perform
Yes, you heard it right, this is enough to make the Yamaguchi-gumi kneel and make the guests envy the lineup just for an innocuous concert, in fact, this is a historical custom in Japan, and the entertainment consumption of the people in Japan accounts for about 40% of the country's GDP, and even the armed forces of the Self-Defense Forces and the Japanese Army are supported by this money, among which the otaku ...... No, it's that the amount of money spent by the public through concerts and comic conventions is hundreds of billions of yen, which is really a huge amount of money for Japan, an island country that has lived on foreign debt for a long time in the past, and there have been many examples of idols and celebrities being attacked, so it is not a big deal to use this lineup to escort the cash cow
The first thing Chong did when he got out of the car was to get in front of the crazy people, and then he pushed forward as carefully as he walked through the thorn bushes, with the help of many armed special police officers during the process, but it was useless
"Whew~" finally broke through the obstacles and came to the stage in the center of the square, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then Chong stood behind the curtain and waited for them to change their clothes and then perform on stage from the edge of the stage
"Do you think it's hard?" Luka walked over and asked
"The real hard thing is that they are already covered with bruises on their hands and feet, and the enthusiasm of those people is more dangerous than the malice of others towards them."
"Our pomp and circumstance was much smaller than this, and I don't know when the so-called singer became an idol, and then the public's eyes were also focused on us," Luka leaned against the curtain and said indifferently, "We just stepped on that transition line when we retired, and now I think about it, maybe it was the luckiest moment in our lives."
"Then why do you want your own sister to step back into the world inside the yellow line?"
"This is the path they have chosen, we can't interfere with it, and we won't dissuade it, but no matter what happens, there are people behind them who stand in the way for them, because we are their family," Luka smiled faintly, "The audience is only obsessed with the people on the stage because they don't know what music is, and the people on the stage are still standing precisely because they know what music is, and as long as there are people in the audience who understand the connotation of music, there must still be people standing on the stage, It's a common philosophy we've had on our previous tours."
"Maybe they're the latecomers who carry our dreams."
"Understood" Chong had a conjecture before, and now after hearing this sentence, he can finally confirm that conjecture, this passage has been said by a person to himself, but he also added a sentence at the time, he said that these words can only be used to summarize a better tomorrow, and the real dream should not be related to other people, the stage is a world, the stage is another world, the most gorgeous performance may not only bloom on the stage, maybe when the whole world cheers for the "hero", the real "feat." "It's already silently over
"So, I don't like the feeling of being on the stage at all, don't you?" It seems that the person laughed and said this sentence to himself, and if you think about it, maybe some of your current actions are learning from him
"Bang bang bang!" The world in front of the curtain is applauding, and Luka and he are standing in the back and listening silently, neither of them fits into the world in front of the curtain
Because the people who really deserve to win the applause, they don't go to such a thing at all
