Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 287 Beautiful Assistant
Although Yuta Hirano has a stubborn personality and his words are not pleasant to the ear, his professional level is high and his words are reasonable.

Now, the ones lagging behind in terms of the difficulty of the movements are the four trainees in front, not Xia Fan.

Xia Fan's ability to perform such a heavy move was beyond everyone's expectations and was an unexpected surprise...

How could his teammates have the nerve to ask him to upgrade the already high difficulty of his moves again?

"Mr. Xia, the team performance is about the 'bucket theory'. No matter how capable one person is, he or she cannot make up for all the shortcomings."

"Go to bed early. At this point, we can only do our best to do our part and fight this battle well."

Martin patted Xia Fan, who was still staring at the floor in a daze, and walked out.

"Do your best to do your part..."

Left alone in the rehearsal room, Xia Fan lowered his head and silently stared at his sweaty palms.

"I don't know if Mr. Kitamura is asleep or not?"

After a while, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

……

The next day, afternoon.

The decorations in the main broadcast room of the "Idol Birthday Festival" have all been changed to red and white as the main colors, combined with the original Edo wooden style, making people feel like they have really entered a shrine.

"When did the lampshade crack? I was wondering why there were so many light spots. Send me some new ones as soon as possible!"

"Fix the camera position and confirm the shooting effect. It will be difficult to adjust the stage scenery after it is put up..."

"The live band teacher has arrived and will immediately make room to help install the equipment."

Yayoi Tsukie walked in through the vermilion torii gate and passed through the busy staff...

"In such a modern studio building, is the studio actually of this style?"

"The scene before the recording was no different from a messy renovation site..."

A woman wearing a baseball cap, a small suit, a black mask, and a high ponytail was following Yayoi Tsukishima, looking at the surrounding environment curiously.

The work ID card swaying across her chest read "Assistant".

"Mr. Xia Fan, have you been locked up in a place like this to record the show recently?"

Following Yayoi Tsuki all the way to the front of the stage, the woman did not see the figure in her mind, and her big eyes narrowed slightly in disappointment.

If Xia Fan were here, he would be able to recognize her just by her voice. She is the Saiou of Ise Jingu Shrine, the director of the Psychic Association, the supernatural consultant of Section 9, Jinguji Aoi.

"How about it, Jinguji Miko, this is the first time I've seen the filth and mess behind the scenes. I'm sure it's too far from the glamorous front stage, right?"

"That place is where Xia Fan will fight tonight."

Yayoi Tsuki crossed her arms across her chest and pointed her small chin towards the stage where the effects were being tested.

"Thanks to Miss Yayoi for bringing me here. This is my first time seeing the scene inside a photo studio. It's really an eye-opener."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Xia Fan will be performing there? I don't know what kind of show it will be."

Sitting in the audience seat behind the instructors' seats, Aoi Jinguji rested her chin on one hand and smiled slightly.

"I saw the information sent by the production team. That guy got the 'Oxygen Bomb' and was the dance leader..."

"You didn't even have time to reply to my message. I guess you were concentrating on rehearsals these past two days."

Speaking of this topic, Yayoi Tsuki frowned slightly in annoyance.

After learning that Xia Fan had drawn a "bad fortune", she sent a message to inquire about it, but no one has replied so far.

"Oxygen bomb? It does look difficult..."

"What I mean is, Mr. Xia Fan, this round of performance is likely to be lost?"

Aoi Jinguji took out her cell phone and searched and played "Oxygen Bomb", and her tone suddenly became very expectant.

"Yeah, it's very likely." "However, with that guy's terrifying number of votes, he won't be eliminated even if he loses. His popularity may just drop out of the debut position, probably to the top ten..."

With a frown on her face, Yayoi Tsuki calculated Xia Fan's number of votes and gave a prediction.

"Is that so? That's really too..."

"What a pity."

Jinguji Aoi murmured in a voice that only she could hear.

If he was eliminated earlier, Xia Fan would have more time to participate in the actions of Lesson 9.

"All units, trainees are starting to take their positions in the backstage, and the audience is gathering outside the door, hurry up and debug!"

"But the lampshade here hasn't been delivered yet..."

"There's still an hour left before the performance. It's too late. It's just a crack. Just use it as it is!"

As the performance time drew closer, the staff began to work harder and faster.

"Hey, Yayoi-senpai, you're here really early."

After finishing his makeup, Shota Hirai walked into the studio, saw Yayoi Tsuki, and politely walked up to her and greeted her.

District 11 is very particular about seniority. Yayoi Tsuki, who debuted a few months earlier than him and whose popularity is incomparable, can be considered a senior from any perspective.

Although they belong to different companies, no one can predict the future, so Shota Hirai has always been very careful with Yayoi Tsuki.

"It's rare that you come so early."

Yayoi Tsuki responded calmly.

"There happened to be an event nearby today, so I came here early after it was over."

Shota Hirai smiled awkwardly and sat down in the instructor's seat.

"The performance will start soon, so you'll be in this area."

Yayoi Tsuki brought Jinguji Aoi to the side of the stage and arranged a seat for her in the staff seating area.

"As expected of a senior, even her assistant seems to be a beautiful lady."

Taking a curious look at Jinguji Aoi's work badge, Hirai Shouta muttered softly.

"Good afternoon, Oda-senpai!"

"Kimura-senpai looks even more handsome today than usual."

Soon, Goro Kimura and Masaru Oda entered the studio. Shota Hirai hurriedly stepped forward to bow and greet them, and had no time to delve into the details of the new assistant.

Among the top stars, Yayoi Tsuki is considered a recluse. It is considered rare for her to bring one or two assistants with her when she goes out to record a show. There is nothing strange about it.

……

In less than half an hour, all the debris around the stage was cleared away, all the equipment was debugged, and the live band was in place.

Under the guidance of the staff, the audience for this round of performances began to enter in an orderly manner.

"Dear audience, please go to the corresponding area according to the number on the ticket stub..."

"According to the agreement signed before entering the venue, light sticks, name tags, and even mobile phone cheering screens are not allowed to be brought into the venue. Please do not take photos or videos during the recording of the program..."

The number of live audience seats remains at 1000, but as the popularity of the show grows, the number of voters increases, and the chances of getting a live ticket decreases exponentially...

Therefore, most of the people who can attend this round of performances are enthusiastic fans who spend a lot of money.

"Ma'am, wait a minute, this place on your backpack seems to be a hidden pocket? Please take out the stick in the pocket and check it."

"What, this is the massage equipment you use when you get tired while watching a show, not a glow stick?"

"And this one, may I ask what the hard stick-like object inside this doll is..."
