The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 245 New Plan (2)

Konishi Hirobe took them to visit other studios on the upper and lower floors. These studios were now in use and no outsiders were allowed to enter. However, because Director Tamura had informed them in advance, they could walk around outside and backstage without affecting the filming.

Qian Xiaoyi and Konishi Hirobu chatted along the way to see if they could get any useful information, while Inuyama Heita took Ajian to carefully look around.

After seeing a small studio where cooking and news programs were being recorded, they came to Studio 1, the largest studio in the entire building, which is usually used to produce some large-scale variety shows. According to the information provided by the client Tachibana Mio, Usa Mio often recorded programs here during that period.

A comedy variety show was being filmed in the studio, and Inuyama Heita even recognized several familiar celebrity idols.

"Mr. Qian, don't be so casual here like before." Xiao Xi Guangbu reminded: "The director in charge of this program is a very strict person. If he sees people who are not from the program team wandering around outside the venue, he will definitely get angry."

Qian Xiaoyi said: "It doesn't matter, let's go backstage and take a look while they are filming."

Qian Xiaoyi had no hope of finding any useful information here. He was just going through the motions and taking a trip to a place he had never been to before.

They came to the backstage, where some staff and actors were resting. However, when Qian Xiaoyi saw a few people in strange costumes, he almost took out his magic weapon. He took a closer look and found that those people were not ghosts, so he asked Xiao Xikuanbu: "By the way...are those people really not the staff of "Horror Night GO"? "

Konishi Hirobu looked over and saw that those people were indeed dressed very strangely, with white oil paint and thick eye shadow on their faces, which was comparable to the masks of Peking Opera. Coupled with their super-Shamatte styling and steel-studded leather jackets, it was hard not to associate them with monsters.

Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaoyi's words were heard by the people over there, and a Mohawk monster immediately protested: "Isn't this too rude? What do you mean by an actor in a supernatural show?!"

Inuyama Heita couldn't help but remind him: "Brother Otoko, this is the 'Visual Kei' style. They should be a rock band."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoyi suddenly realized: "A rock musician? No wonder."

"Hey! That's even more rude!" Mohawk shouted, "Why do you think it's normal to mention rock music? It's even more offensive! Are you here to cause trouble on purpose? Huh? Have we met somewhere before?"

"Locke, it's that guy, the psychic detective!" Another Shamatte clown on the side reminded, "The exorcist who's become famous recently!"

The man called Rock's eyes lit up immediately, and he stood up and said, "Oh! I watched that episode, it was super exciting. I thought it was just a script, but I didn't expect that even the police would show up in the end. This is really rock and roll!"

"No, no, no, you guys are still more rock 'n' roll." Qian Xiaoyi said modestly as he looked at the makeup of these four people.

Locke said angrily, "Hey, although our band does play rock, it's not visual kei. When we perform in bars, we perform in a different style. But speaking of which... this is the first time I've seen a real exorcist. I feel like the profession of exorcist is also very rock kei."

"Indeed, after all, we deal with death all the time." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile.

After learning more about it, Qian Xiaoyi learned that their band was called "Zombie Brain" and was actually an underground punk band that often performed in various messy bars. This time, in order to make a living, they took on the variety show from a friend and performed on the stage. This outfit was just because the show needed a contrasting appearance, so they put on makeup like this. In the show, they are equivalent to funny characters.

Rock is the band's guitarist, lead singer, and captain.

This is not their first time to record a program on TV. Before, they often served as musicians backstage and were considered half of the program crew.

From an outsider's perspective, working at a TV station is more like their main job, and playing in a band at a bar at night is their side job. However, these guys themselves don't think so. They think this is a "part-time job", and this is their last stubbornness.

"Everyone's life is not easy~" Qian Xiaoyi sighed. The punk band that was supposed to be the most rebellious took on the job of being responsible for comedy, being laughed at on TV, just to make a living. It must be said that this is also very punk, perhaps it can be called "punk punk". "Hey, what do you mean by that sympathetic look!" Locke said unhappily: "Anyway, no one can tell with this kind of makeup! Don't look down on us!"

"How could that be? Everyone has done ridiculous things." Qian Xiaoyi said, "And I've seen even more punk things. This is nothing."

"Really? I don't believe it." Locke looked at Qian Xiaoyi suspiciously, suspecting that this guy was fooling them.

Qian Xiaoyi said, "You don't believe it? I just recorded it. I'll show you what real punk is."

He took out his cell phone and started playing a video. Others also gathered around to see what Qian Xiaoyi meant by "punk".

At the beginning of the video, colorful lights and powerful and harsh music appeared on the screen, which made Inuyama Heita wonder whether Qian Xiaoyi had played rock music before. However, when he saw the picture clearly, he found that it was not the case at all.

The scene in the video is a makeshift stage. On the white curtain behind the stage, there is a large Chinese character "甸". On both sides and above the Chinese character, there are LED signboards. These signboards are constantly changing colorful fonts, with the following words on them:

"The voice and appearance are still there."

"The noble spirit always exists."

"Eternal."

And on the stage, there were three sexy girls in leather jackets dancing seductively on poles to the accompaniment of explosive music.

At this time, Qian Xiaoyi appeared in the camera with a childish face, and shouted excitedly: "Disco in the funeral hall! This is the first time I've seen it. Friends, why don't you give me a double-click 666?"

"Fuck! What the hell are you taking pictures of that guy over there? I told you not to take pictures!"

"Looking for death, right?!"

"Delete it for me now!"

The screen began to shake violently, and Qian Xiaoyi inside said, "Oh no! The people in the troupe saw us. They don't allow me to take pictures, and they want to beat me up. I have to run!"

Then the video ended. Seeing that the others looked confused and didn't know what the video was about, and they couldn't understand Chinese, Qian Xiaoyi began to explain.

When he was in China, he often followed his master to help others with funerals, and sometimes he would live broadcast to explain the procedures and taboos in some rituals. As a result, they were invited to another place one time, and found that the customs here were a bit wild. If it is a happy funeral here, the host will invite some local small theater troupes to perform at home, and everyone will eat, drink and watch the show. If they are happy, they can even go directly to the mourning hall to dance.

And because it's a small place, some of the programs performed by the invited troupes are occasionally very explosive and straightforward, such as the pole dance just now. I heard that there will be more restricted performances after this.

It was the first time that Qian Xiaoyi saw this thing. Seeing that everyone around him was very happy, he was also very happy. He didn’t know the rules and directly started a live broadcast and filmed the performance on the stage. As a result, he was discovered by the troupe and was chased for two blocks before he ran away.

After listening to Qian Xiaoyi's explanation, everyone opened their mouths, shocked by the wildness of the funeral customs over there, and didn't know what to say. Finally, Locke patted Qian Xiaoyi on the shoulder and said with great approval: "You are more punk."
