The grand moving operation ultimately ended with the collective success of 5tars’ three members.
Actually, in the last few days, Yu Lei from Shining Girls had a chance.
Although 5tars was very popular, the five of them were very busy and didn’t have the habit of having staff manage their Weibo, so the number of self-comments was far less than Yu Lei’s.
Although it was a little embarrassing, Yu Lei might have been able to catch up with this score.
If she had succeeded, it would have been the best example of fans not being as hardworking as their idols.
But who would have thought that just a few days before the move ended, the Idol Century War rigging incident happened.
Not only were 5tars’ fans heartbroken.
Countless casual viewers also came to their Weibo to leave messages of comfort.
Most importantly, a large number of trainees and idols they knew left messages on their Weibo to have a group activity.
They left messages.
So, their fans would naturally help to boost their idols’ data.
So, back and forth, everyone’s data went up, even surpassing the hard work of data workers every day.
It was said that Yu Lei also couldn’t save face in the last three days, and she posted a thousand self-comments every day to try to catch up.
But she ultimately failed.
The result of a month’s effort went down the drain.
Both the idol herself and the fandom were hit hard.
Jiang Ye, who heard this news, "..."
She felt sorry for her.
But although she didn’t succeed in moving, as the saying goes, there’s always a gain for every loss.
They had won a competition after all.
Although the outcome of winning this competition wasn’t very good, they were ridiculed by the entire internet.
Looking at 5tars.
Although they lost one competition, the jobs they received afterwards were all very good.
The two music variety shows they got were both music-focused.
They were both shows that were lukewarm, but of course, everyone could take advantage of Idol Century War flopping so badly.
So, they used this wave to market 5tars, and they actually achieved quite good results after the stage aired.
From then on, 5tars’ schedule was basically non-stop.
One day they were shooting a magazine, the next day they were recording a variety show, the next day they had a rare day off but couldn’t rest, they had to take some time to practice the stage again, and they might have another stage to perform in a few days.
"Everyone, everyone!"
"Have you all gotten the message?"
Early one morning, Cheng Zhen knocked on the door of every room, she was just short of getting a megaphone to call everyone.
Jiang Ye was brushing her teeth, and she was annoyed by her knocking, so she just came out with a toothbrush in her mouth and mumbled, "What’s wrong?"
"Yan Jie sent a message!!! It seems like we’ve gotten a new variety show!"
Lin Zui had just been woken up, she came out wearing a sleep cap and rubbed her eyes.
When she heard what Cheng Zhen said, she sighed, "That’s great, I’ve never been this busy in eight years."
"..."
Jiang Ye wasn’t surprised to hear that they had new work.
"What kind of variety show, is it also music-focused?"
Cheng Zhen said the name, "It seems to be called 《What Are You Running From》."
She mumbled, "It’s such a strange name."
Jiang Ye: "!!!"
Jiang Ye almost choked on her toothpaste foam.
She had heard of this show in her previous life.
It had received a lot of positive feedback during the planning stage, and then it became a phenomenal hit in its year.
Thanks to Idol Century War.
Their work was getting hotter and hotter.
Now they were even getting invitations to popular prime-time variety shows.
Tan Meng just opened the door and heard this, her eyes lit up, "Is it a regular spot?"
Shen Zhiyi watched them discuss with a smile, and she added, "A guest appearance."
Cheng Zhen: "Ugh—"
"What are you sighing for?"
Jiang Ye’s eyes lit up, "This kind of popular show, even if it’s just a one-time guest appearance, it’s still very good for gaining fans if you perform well! We have to seize this opportunity!"
Although their main career path was still in music.
But it’s undeniable that variety shows are the fastest way to attract fans outside of the talent show circle.
For idols, they can only talk about dreams if they can maintain their fanbase and make enough money to keep the company running.
So, being a guest on this popular variety show is perfect for them.
It doesn’t take up too much time, it doesn’t disrupt the group, and it can also improve their national recognition and likability, it’s a win-win situation.
"But don’t get too optimistic."
Lin Zui had also been on many variety shows, big and small, but she was usually just a background character.
"I know this show, it’s a running show."
"If we’re eliminated right away, we might not get any screen time, and it would be almost impossible to gain fans."
Jiang Ye: "But no one would be that unlucky, right?"
Lin Zui thought for a moment and nodded, "That’s true."
"Yeah! It’s not that bad! I think we can definitely survive to the end with our abilities!"
Cheng Zhen said, "To celebrate our first time on a prime-time variety show, why don’t we order hot pot again tonight?"
The other four: "..."
《What Are You Running From》 is an outdoor competitive game show.
Each episode invites about twenty guests, the game lasts for two hours, and the guests who survive to the end win.
The program team will arrange three to four people in black to patrol the entire venue, if the players are caught by the people in black, they lose.
But it’s not enough for players to just hide in safe places to avoid the people in black.
Because there will be certain tasks in the game.
If the players don’t want to complete the tasks and just want to survive to the end, the difficulty of the game will be greatly increased.
Besides, even if you really win by surviving to the end, you won’t have much screen time, and you’ll be ridiculed by casual viewers.
So, most people will actively participate in the game tasks to get more screen time.
On the day of the recording.
Jiang Ye changed into a light blue tracksuit, put on her knee pads and wrist guards, and finally adjusted the position of her headband.
She was only eighteen years old, and this outfit was youthful and energetic, people would believe her if she said she was a high school girl.
To avoid being caught by the people in black.
This game is all about hiding and running.
So, Jiang Ye looked at her teammates.
Shen Zhiyi, she looked like the kind of weak girl who would come in last in the 800 meters.
Cheng Zhen, she would sprint full speed for the first two hundred meters of the 800 meters, and then she would be too tired to walk the rest of the way.
Tan Meng, needless to say, she’s the sports committee member who leads the race.
As for Lin Zui.
Jiang Ye felt that she should be pretty strong.
First, she’s been in the entertainment industry for so long, she’s been on many variety shows, big and small, so she should have some experience.
Second, she’s naturally very strong, she probably won’t lose to anyone in a race.
The game lasts for two hours.
Jiang Ye’s expectation for herself and her teammates was to play for at least an hour and a half, so they could guarantee enough screen time.
Of course, they also had to make sure they had room to perform, not just slacking off the entire time.
The five of them went to the recording location.
Besides them, who were the newcomers who had just debuted this year, the guests on the show were mostly veterans of the entertainment industry.
So, at the beginning, 5tars stood at the very edge the entire time, they only dared to step forward and face the camera to say a few words when it was time for self-introductions.
The game started with a spinning wheel.
The wheel was divided into ten sections, one of which was black.
If the players were unlucky and landed on this section, a person in black ten meters away from the players would be released, and they might die right at the beginning.
The players who spun the wheel first could leave and let the next player go.
If all the players did not land on the black section, they would all be safe and have ten minutes to hide.
Although everyone’s luck was the same.
But it was more advantageous to go first.
First, you could leave first, and second, even if the person in black was released, there would be more scapegoats.
Although 5tars was a junior group and a guest, everyone was still very kind to them.
It was probably out of a sense of caring for juniors, and also because of Cheng Zhen’s parents.
So, when they were discussing who would spin the wheel.
Everyone started to cheer.
"Let 5tars go first!"
"Cheng Zhen! Spin it!"
"Jiang Ye! You guys go!"
Cheng Zhen looked at the person in black who was blocked by a railing ten meters away, and her heart sank.
She definitely didn’t want to go up, she grabbed Jiang Ye’s clothes and said, "Jiang Ye, protect me!"
"..."
Jiang Ye quickly took two steps forward, grabbed Lin Zui, and easily passed the buck to her, "Captain, protect me!"
Lin Zui: "?"
Lin Zui hesitated for a moment, "You guys are sure you want me to go first?"
"You can do it."
Jiang Ye gave her a thumbs-up, "You’re carrying the hopes of our entire group."
"… Alright."
Lin Zui took a deep breath and said, "I’ll go then."
Jiang Ye put her hand on her shoulder, "Good luck, I’m willing to lend you my luck for now."
Lin Zui: "… Save it."
Their luck, it wasn’t certain who would lend who.
Lin Zui walked forward amidst cheers, she took a deep breath and spun the wheel forcefully.
The wheel spun quickly in front of her.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the wheel.
The wheel slowly, slowly stopped.
Then, the pointer slowly landed on the black section.
Everyone in the venue couldn’t help but hold their breath.
The three people behind Jiang Ye grabbed her clothes.
Jiang Ye was also affected by the atmosphere, her heart was pounding.
Just before it stopped, the wheel moved forward two centimeters, it moved out of the black section.
Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But before they could fully relax, they watched in horror as the wheel spun back three centimeters.
Everyone: "!!!"
Beep, beep, beep, three times.
The black section alarm suddenly sounded.
The person in black ten meters away suddenly broke through the barrier!
Lin Zui had not even reacted when she felt a gust of wind behind her.
Everyone ran away instantly.
Only the last blessings of her teammates echoed in the air.
"Good luck, Lin Zui!!! Be careful! We’re going!"
Lin Zui was standing right next to the person in black.
She did not even have time to turn around when someone grabbed her shoulder.
Then, her watch beeped twice, and a message popped up.
【Game survival time: Six seconds.】
Lin Zui: "..."
Her game experience was really good.
Did it start?
It is already over.
Lin Zui suddenly remembered what she had said to Jiang Ye that day.
——"If we’re eliminated right away, we might not get any screen time."
——"No one would be that unlucky, right?"
Lin Zui: "..."
What kind of crow’s mouth is this?
