Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore Chapter 370: On Site at the Peach Gala Rehearsal

The rehearsal for the Penguin Gala went very smoothly, but the Peach Gala rehearsal the next day was not so fortunate.

First of all, Xiao He and his group were once again waiting for Lu Yuxi!

Even though they didn't need to get their makeup and styling done and were just waiting idly offstage, Xiao He's temper was steadily rising.

"What exactly is he doing?"

Xiao He glanced at a nearby staff mber, his already sowhat cold and gloomy aura suddenly becoming terrifying.

"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu really had an accident this ti. He was in a car accident on the way and now has to hail another ride to get here."

A nearby staff mber, shivering from Xiao He's chilling aura, quickly explained in a hushed voice. Liu Rulan, however, raised her hand, patted Xiao He's shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "No need to make things difficult for the staff. If he's going to be late, we'll just wait for him."

Xiao He naturally knew the staff were innocent;

his cold anger wasn't directed at them. He took a deep breath and looked at Xie Jingshi. "Brother Xie, what do you think about this? Do you have other arrangents this afternoon?"

Xiao He had to rush to the official performance for the Penguin Gala in the afternoon. Even though they had rehearsed yesterday, he would still need to get his makeup and styling done on-site and run through the rehearsal one last ti. So, Xiao He was quite busy today. If the other party was even one or two hours late, Xiao He wouldn't make it to his other work commitnt.

Xie Jingshi also nodded. "I have to fly to Rong City this afternoon to catch a friend's concert. I won't be back until tomorrow."

Xiao He: Oh wow.

Xie Jingshi was even busier than him.

So, Xiao He really couldn't understand, what exactly was Lu Yuxi so busy with?

In terms of status, Xie Jingshi currently holds an Award-Winning Actor title, is one of Zhuang Hongyi's go-to actors, and although he's not yet in the hundred-billion box office club, it's only because Xie Jingshi himself prefers art films. If he wanted to aim for it, it would just be a matter of ti.

As for Xiao He, well, thank you, he's already made it internationally.

And Lu Yuxi? Nowadays, he can barely maintain his dostic standing, yet he's learned a whole bunch of bad habits from the entertainnt industry next door.

To put it bluntly, when soone like Yuan Sitong next door is late, it's because she has the capital and the background.

What about this guy?

Xiao He raised his hand to glance at the watch on his wrist, then said to the staff mber, "I can wait for him at most one more hour. Please hurry and urge him again, otherwise I won't be able to fulfill my other work commitnt."

Although Xie Jingshi's personality was gentler than Xiao He's, he was soone who would instantly follow up in a team fight. He decisively chid in, "Sa for . Please coordinate with the front to adjust our rehearsal ti."

"Okay, okay."

The staff mber breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

After the person left, Liu Rulan finally said to Xiao He, "You'll encounter this kind of person when participating in these types of events. Don't take it too much to heart. It's just a gala performance overly focused on fan traffic. You'll be on stage together, finish the dance, and leave. No need to waste your mood on him."

To put it plainly, most of these events are platforms trying to take this opportunity to shape their corporate image externally. From the start, they are events skewed towards fan culture. Ordinary people wouldn't actively watch these platform or company gala programs. Only fans who closely follow the entertainnt industry, constantly chasing after their favorite 'idols' or 'stars', would watch on schedule, or even spend a lot of money to watch the performance live.

So, to say how formal or important these events are isn't really accurate;

they are more about entertainnt and generating topics.

Xiao He ca to participate in this event just to see more fans and, incidentally, build a good foundation with Peach's shopping platform, establishing a relationship bridge for future business dealings.

Liu Rulan felt there was no need to make everyone unhappy over soone else's minor issues.

After all, there are far too many people like this in the industry... People like Lu Yuxi, Liu Rulan could na a bunch with her eyes closed.

She was completely jaded to it.

Liu Rulan's words made sense, and Xiao He didn't intend to pursue the issue with Lu Yuxi further at this point. He nodded. "I know. Please coordinate with the program team over there, Sister Liu, and push back my makeup and styling ti this afternoon."

"Okay."

Liu Rulan nodded.

Over half an hour later, Lu Yuxi finally arrived, fashionably late.

He apologized profusely to everyone and provided proof of the car accident. Seeing that his car indeed had a dent, everyone couldn't very well criticize further. They could only imdiately get busy, asking Xiao He and the others to prepare and quickly enter the rehearsal phase.

Seeing that the person had finally arrived, Xiao He didn't say anything more and imdiately followed the others backstage to wait.

Since this rehearsal didn't require makeup and styling, the ti from Lu Yuxi's arrival to them taking the stage for rehearsal was still quite fast. Xiao He didn't have to wait long before going on stage with the others.

The stage lights suddenly shone over them. Even though the audience seats were empty and staff were constantly moving around, Xiao He wasn't affected at all, treating this rehearsal work seriously and earnestly.

He stood in his designated position, gently adjusted his earpiece, and waited for the musical intro.

The performance here was singing a very hype English pop song, with a strong, dynamic beat, quite catchy, the type that easily electrifies a venue.

As soon as the music started, all the lights suddenly dimd, and three slender figures instantly captured everyone's attention.

Imdiately after, a cool, clear male voice began to sing—

...

Although this was just a singing and dancing performance in casual clothes without stage makeup and styling, the overall stage presentation was still very cool and dazzling. The catchy lyrics and lody made even the people offstage unconsciously sway along with the music.

Xiao Chen, offstage holding up his phone to record, couldn't help but cheer along.

Perhaps because today's lateness had indeed made everyone quite unhappy, Lu Yuxi put in a lot of effort throughout this entire performance, even showing an unprecedented level of seriousness. When the song ended, the staff offstage applauded. Their entire performance didn't have any slip-ups.

Who would have thought that before this, the three of them hadn't even formally run through the entire routine together in the practice room from start to finish?

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you."

He asked Xiao He and the others to wait a little longer, then made on-site adjustnts to the stage floor markers and lighting positions, etc. Finally, Xiao He's group ran through it once more. After confirming there were no other issues with the overall stage performance, Xiao He finally ca down from the stage.

Actually, their speed was considered quite fast. This was because the initial positioning and lighting had already been arranged on-site by the choreography director with stand-ins beforehand, with a ready-made plan prepared in advance. Xiao He and the others only needed to confirm it on-site, make so minor adjustnts, and the main work of this rehearsal was basically accomplished.

As for the subsequent matters, those were no longer their responsibility.

Xiao He got off the stage, not even wanting to say another word, and left directly. Xie Jingshi was no different, moving his legs swiftly.

The program director, who originally wanted to chat a bit more with these two, stared dumbfounded as they walked away. Only Lu Yuxi ca over, smiling and shaking his hand. "Director, thank you for your hard work on this program!"

"Not at all, not at all."

The director patted Lu Yuxi's shoulder but didn't intend to chat with him. Instead, he quickly caught up to Xiao He, who was walking the fastest.

"Teacher Xiao, Teacher Xiao, please wait a mont—"

Xiao He stopped and looked sowhat puzzled at the program director who had suddenly called out to him.
