Chapter 18 "MCD" One Day MC
After staying inside for more than forty minutes, Lin Cui wanted to take Huang Longfu away. At first, he was unanimously opposed by the audience.
It was only after he came up with the excuse "Your brother will have to get up early tomorrow that he will be very busy and tired" that the sisters let him go.
"It's easy to blend in, Feifei. I really underestimate you. You are worthy of being a diplomat in my heart." Lin Cui sighed as he breathed in the fresh air at the door of the hotel.
"Brother Lin, don't be disgusted with me." Huang Longfu looked disgusted with the word "Feifei", "Why did you suddenly call me Feifei?"
"Everyone on the Internet calls you feifei, feifei, and your fans even gave you a nickname. What's your name? Wait a minute." Lin Cui flipped up his phone.
"Flip it, don't tell me." It definitely doesn't sound nice. Female fans must go in the cute direction.
He stood on the roadside and held out his hand to hail a cab.
"I found it, hoohoo~ Brother Zouzi, Feifei, eh? Brother Fikeli and Brother Dumpling, I've never heard of this one, it sounds like it's from Chinese fans."
Huang Longfu rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, feeling speechless.
Lin Cui walked up to him and patted his arm, "Can we always pay attention to managing our expressions? Just keep the same expression as on the stage."
Then he said to himself:
"I had a gut feeling at that time that you, a kid like you, could become famous in China without any promotion. I will have to mention it to the head of the department later. Isn't it popular to develop in China now?"
"Why do you call me Brother Zhezi?" It's so unpleasant, and that's what fans like to call me.
"Let me take a look, hey--" Lin Cui scratched for a long time, "Oh! When you smile happily, your whole face will wrinkle together. You are silly and cute, so I named you Brother Fold."
It's not the lines around the eyes, it's the whole face.
Got it, I won’t laugh anymore.

Stray v, which won the top three rankings in just two days after debuting, has remained popular due to the triple promotion of the company and fans. The number of fan club members has ranked among the top fifteen boy groups.
And Huang Longfu’s fan club has entered the top ten. Yes, straight v is popular, and Huang Longfu himself is even more popular.
But you have to maintain your popularity through some high-exposure measures. After all, you are an idol and not an actor. However, P agency has always been weak in this regard.
For no other reason than the company has very few resources, and the public relations manager entrusted with promoting idols to the public has no sense of presence.
The short-lived advertising resources, radio stations, variety shows, commercial performances, etc. currently held by p agency are all actively found by others. However, although the quantity is large, the quality is not necessarily guaranteed.
And like commercial performances and some variety shows, they can't let Stray v appear too early, because this group has only released one song, and there is no prelude and no follow-up song.
So P agency still has to think carefully when choosing.
In the next two days, "Inkigayo" on the 26th and "Champion Show" on the 28th, because the music source of "Into You" has begun to decline, they did not win one place.
There is not even one candidate left in "Inkigayo". So these two days have been just a flurry of fun, and they predict that this will be the case for the rest of the song competition period.
But I am indeed very satisfied. The amount of money I received within 2 days of my debut is very high, and I can prove that one member of the team is enough to overlook a bunch of other groups in the same generation.
Even no matter how many new generations there are, they will still be the holders of this record and can be included in the history of k-pop, because there are rumors that singing programs such as "mcd" are undergoing changes.
Maybe in a few months there will be a new rule that "all active artists will not participate in singing competitions in the first week".
For p agency, when they were worried about how to use the uneven resources to keep their members exposed, mnet TV station invited Huang Longfu to be a guest host of "mcd".
Usually the guest hosts of singing shows usually invite idols who have become very popular recently, which also illustrates Huang Longfu's popularity as a solo artist, and P Agency naturally agrees with such a stable program.
If you don’t worry about whether your idol is suitable to be the MC, you should just download two episodes.
On the morning of February 29, Huang Longfu, who was the first to come out of the beauty salon, left under the envious eyes of his four teammates, TV station.
"This is your first time hosting. Don't be nervous. Just memorize the script. Be polite when you look at the seniors. I will pick you up after the recording." Lin Cui instructed and left.
The company assigned Stray a manager and an assistant, so Lin Cui was very busy.
I don’t know when they will get another agent or assistant. Huang Longfu is really afraid that Lin Cuiying will go bald early and find a partner.
He followed the staff to the lounge with the "felix×suzy" sign.
"Kang Sang Mida." I thanked the staff.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Huang Longfu knocked on the door of the lounge, "Knock, knock, knock."
"Senior Anihasaya ~ I am Huang Longfu from straight v." Opening the door, he greeted Bae Suzy who seemed to be frightened, but immediately managed her expression.
The girl has long hair, the ends of her hair are slightly permed to form small waves, and her forehead is covered by bangs that are slightly parted.
Her facial features have not yet matured due to her age, but her brows and corners of her eyes are delicate, and she is pretty with a hint of youthfulness.
The apple muscles on her face are very cute and fleshy, coupled with the weak bones, the overall temperament looks as harmless as the girl next door.
"Ah! I'm Miss A's Bae Suzy." Suzy Bae stood up and nodded politely. She debuted in 2010 and was a senior to Huang Longfu, but she didn't put on airs.
Huang Longfu walked in, and just as he was about to have some business exchanges, he found that this senior who was younger than him no longer looked at him, as if he was avoiding him on purpose.
In this case, there was no need for him to talk much, so he sat on the chair next to him, waiting for the script and the stylist, with an expressionless expression on his face.
And Pei Xiuzhi had the experience of being caught peeping last time, so she didn't dare to look at him again. As for why she had to avoid Huang Longfu just now...
There's nothing more frightening than the sudden appearance of the real person when you're scrolling through someone's trending search, and there's nothing more helpless than the fact that the person who embarrassed you twice recently is the same person.
After a while, the staff sent the script over, and the stylist also followed.
"Both of them have great hairstyles. Just put on a little light makeup later." Nowadays, light makeup and a bare face look are very suitable for both male and female artists.
Things began to change around 2014. In 2015 or 2016, even male idols had to accept lipstick and other cosmetics.
In response to the stylist's compliments, Huang Longfu and Bae Suzy politely thanked them, and then opened their thin scripts and started memorizing them.
Bae Suzy started working as a one-day MC as early as the year she debuted, so she memorized these lines very quickly. Then she turned to look at Huang Yongfu who was struggling to memorize them.
The latter stopped and looked up at her with a formal smile.
‘She is really keen.’ Bae Suzy thought.
But she wasn't very embarrassed, because this time it wasn't a peek, she was just taking a curious and open look.
Huang Longfu originally wanted to work normally and not socialize, but when he thought that this senior would avoid and look at him, he might be a little uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to speak in an attempt to ease the atmosphere:
"Suzy-sempai should have had a lot of hosting experience, right? Maybe you can give me some pointers?"
"No, no," Pei Xiuzhi waved her hands modestly and smiled implicitly, "But I can talk about some of my experience. When I first got the script..."
