Chapter 1702 LIVEHOUSE (Watching the animation which is not very good)

“Ah… finally finished.”

With a strange cry, Yanaken threw his head on the table, and Chitanda next to him also reached out and pressed his forehead.

"Well, it's really difficult..."

"Oh, have you finished writing the manuscript?"

Hearing the two people's complaints, Duanmu Huai, who was sitting on the sofa, asked while browsing his phone.

"Well, it turns out that the supernatural is too dangerous. Next time we should do something less dangerous. And this time it felt so confusing. Eru and I went through it over and over again before we figured it out."

"Think less about spiritual things. The more you think about them, the more headaches you'll have."

"I agree."

Yana waved weakly.

"I need to recover my blood now..."

"Want some ice cream?"

"want!"

Duanmu Huai took out the ice cream from the refrigerator and handed it over, while Yanami and Chitanda took the ice cream and started eating it bite by bite.

"correct!"

After eating, Yanami seemed to have finally come back to life from his paperwork.

"There happens to be a LIVE today, let's go watch it together!"

"LIVE?"

"Yeah, the band's!"

As he spoke, Yanaijian handed over the phone, and Duanmu Huai took it and looked at it. They were all a bunch of names in English. Why did the band have to have an English name?

"I've heard of girl bands, but I've never been to a live show to hear them."

Chitanda also came over curiously and watched the video on the phone.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go take a look."

Duanmu Huai looked at the time. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well use this as a way to kill time.

By the way, Duanmu Huai also asked President Jingzi about girl bands, and was told that girl bands are indeed very popular, but for many agencies, they do not have much commercial value.

The reason is simple, that is, the band is more independent than others.

For example, artists, actors, and singers mostly need to cooperate with others. For example, without a script, there is no way to perform, without a song, there is no way to sing, and without a variety show, there is no way to go on stage. Therefore, an agency is needed to coordinate and find work.

From this perspective, bands are relatively independent and self-produced, especially in the Internet age, with more and more freelance musicians, and the role of agencies that control traditional media channels has also weakened. Today's agencies are more like cooperative relationships with bands, and they cannot make the final decision like idols.

Of course, apart from independence, the band form of combination is also very worrying.

If it is an idol group, even if there is a conflict within the group, it can be solved by replacing members or graduating. However, once a band is in turmoil, it cannot be solved by simply adding new members or replacing old members. It may even lead to the disbandment of the entire band. This is a huge loss for the agency and the company, so from a business operation perspective, it is more cost-effective to have a cooperative relationship where both parties are responsible for their own profits and losses rather than being responsible for operating the band.

"It's amazing that you managed to sign Toyokawa Shoko despite this."

After listening to Kyoko's explanation, Duanmu Huai also complained. Kyoko could only say that it should be considered as a favor - after all, she is the daughter of the Toyokawa Group.

Well, this is understandable. It's just like a company would recruit children of high-ranking officials to take up sinecure positions. It's a kind of favor investment.

After that, Duanmu Huai and Chitanda also came to LIVEHOUSE under the leadership of Yanami.

To be honest, Duanmu Huai had no impression of this kind of place. He usually thought of underground music halls or places like discotheques. But the LIVEHOUSE that Yanaijian brought the two of them to really surprised him. Although it did say LIVEHOUSE, it looked more like a concert hall or a department store. Not only was there a tree planted in the hall, there were even supermarkets and shops around, a cafe on the second floor, and posters of band performances on the walls. It looked more like a movie theater or a concert hall.

Moreover, all the people coming and going were normal people, which surprised Duanmu Huai a little.

"What's wrong? Xiao Ai?"

"That really surprises me. I thought the people who come here are all bad people who wear earrings and pierce their noses."

"Ahahahaha.....I really do have the impression of loving you..."

Banaijian didn't know what to say about Duanmu Huai's feelings.

"There are no such people now. We are all ordinary students. If you want to dress like this, you will be advised or even expelled."

"makes sense."

Duanmu Huai was not very familiar with this thing. The only band-like thing he had come into contact with was the wind orchestra.

Of course, that thing is still a long way from being a band.

Although this looks like a high-end venue, the ticket prices are not very expensive. This is understandable. No matter how popular it is, it is just an ordinary band popular among students. Students don't have much money, and it is impossible for them to really afford those extremely expensive tickets.

The band we came to see today seemed to be quite famous, and there were quite a few people. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai had the ability to restrain himself, otherwise this place might have turned into a celebrity-chasing scene. Duanmu Huai was not bragging, he did have some popularity.

Therefore, after buying the tickets, the three of them hurried into the venue.

After all, it is relatively dark here and not easy to be discovered.

The number of people in the venue was not too many, but not too few either. Duanmu Huai had seen Robin's concert before. The number of people here was less than one ten-millionth of Robin's, but considering that he was a world-famous star, this difference was understandable.

Well, only about two or three hundred people?

It seems like not much indeed.

But the atmosphere is what's important.

Most people crowded in the front, looking at the stage excitedly. Even Chitanda was excitedly dragged to the front by Yanami. Only Duanmu Huai hid in the corner at the back. Firstly, he had no interest in fanatical star-chasing like a star chaser. Secondly, Duanmu Huai actually didn't like listening to too loud songs, such as rock music. If he was asked to play the drums, he would definitely do it, hahahaha...

Simply put, LIVE is pretty good.

Duanmu Huai thought that rock music was always noisy, but the bands here didn't just play noisy songs, they also played some soothing or even light music, and the audience was also very lively, shaking their arms from time to time. Having said that, the lyrics were also quite positive, unlike those pop songs in China that all sang about love, heartbreak, love triangles, etc., as if they were in heat 24 hours a day. Even middle school students couldn't compare to them, what was wrong with the adults nowadays?

Unlike a special concert, the concert here seems to be a rotating format, that is, a band takes the stage from time to time, and after the performance, they leave the stage and another band takes over. It feels a bit like a music selection competition, except that there is no scoring system here.

Just as Duanmu Huai was leaning back and enjoying the music, the door next to him opened and several girls walked in.

"We made it in time. PPP's performance hasn't started yet. That's great, Pochi-chan!"

"Ah, um..."

The leading girl seemed quite excited, grabbing another girl beside her, who nodded timidly. There were two companions beside them, three of whom were carrying musical instruments, and they should be members of the same band.

The former was talking and pulling the latter in, and unfortunately they bumped into Duanmu Huai.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

The girl also hurriedly turned around and apologized to Duanmu Huai, but when she saw Duanmu Huai, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Hey? Miss Duanmu Ai!?"

………………I’m in trouble.

Because he was about to be found by Yanami and Chitanda, Duanmu Huai did not completely restrain his aura. If he had completely restrained his aura, other people would have thought that they had hit a wall or a stone when they bumped into Duanmu Huai. But if he released a trace of his presence like he did now, then that would be a different matter.

Seeing the girl opening her mouth to scream, Duanmu Huai stretched out a finger and pressed it against her lips.

"Don't make any noise, okay?"

"——————————————!"

The girl nodded desperately, her eyes wide open, as if she wasn't even paying attention to the performance in front of her. Duanmu Huai could only sigh silently without saying anything.

What a hassle.

As a result, Duanmu Huai was stared at by the girl until the end of the performance.

Although he wanted to sneak away while she was looking away, the other party did not move at all. The other three companions seemed to have noticed this and stared at Duanmu Huai curiously - well, now the negative effect of not having a disguise was exposed.

It would be fine if Duanmu Huai was wearing a mask, a hat and glasses, but because he has the ability to conceal his aura, he usually appears in his true colors, so if someone sees him, they can almost recognize him at a glance.

And his popularity is quite high.

trouble.

After the LIVE ended, Yana came back with Chitanda, feeling very satisfied. The latter's face was flushed and she was breathing slightly, and it seemed that she enjoyed the performance very much.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Xiao Ai, huh? Who are they......?"

"It seems like he recognized me."

Although the other party still kept a certain distance from Duanmu Huai, it was clear from their expressions that they still cared about Duanmu Huai.

In order to avoid more trouble, Duanmu Huai had to walk over.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Then he asked.

"Ah, hello!"

In response to Duanmu Huai's greeting, the red-haired girl who had just apologized to him excitedly bowed her head.

"I'm your fan. I'm sorry to bother you at this time. Um... can I get your autograph?"

"No problem at all."

If it's just a signature, this little thing isn't a big deal.

After signing, the four girls thanked him happily and left. Fortunately, there were only a few people left in the venue, so no one noticed the small commotion they caused. After that, Duanmu Huai also quickly left the venue with the other two.

"How can I say this? If I hadn't seen this, I would have forgotten that Xiao Ai is a celebrity."

Walking out of the door of LIVEHOUSE, Yanami couldn't help but sigh, and Chitanda beside him nodded in agreement. When they first met Duanmu Huai, they knew he was very famous. But later, because they got along too normally, they ignored Duanmu Huai's celebrity status.

“Celebrities are just like ordinary people.”

"That's true, but it still doesn't feel real when the people on TV appear next to you, don't you think? Eru?"

"Ah, um..."

Hearing Yanami's question, Chitanda nodded, and at the same time she looked to the side and stopped.

"That child......"

"Ok?"

Duanmu Huai and Yanaijian also turned their heads and looked in the direction Chitanda was looking at, only to see a petite girl running desperately.

Wearing the same school uniform as me and others, he seems a little familiar?

"It's the girl who played the stone game with us before."

"Oh, it's her, what happened?"

In terms of memory, Chitanda is still trustworthy, but the girl looks very strange now. She is running so hard, as if she is being chased by something - but no one is chasing her?

"Xiao Ai, should we go take a look?"

Perhaps because they had played the stone game together, Yanaijian seemed a little worried, and Duanmu Huai...

"Okay, let's go take a look first."

Anyway, idle is idle.
