Chapter 242 Xiao Guang's Panic and the Recording of "Love Song"?
"Hmm...okay, okay...it's clear that you two have a very good relationship..."
"Where?!" x2
After another argument, Hikari and Satoshi both retorted to Yuka's seemingly comforting words.
Seeing this, Yu Xiang could only smile awkwardly. Looking back now, she realized that she had been too kind to her boss by only eating a little bit of food in the coffee shop. If she had known that this mission would be so troublesome, she should have taken advantage of the situation more.
"So...could you two share what impressed you most about each other during your travels?"
Now she doesn't ask for anything else, she just wants the show recording to end quickly, otherwise if they argue again, Yu Xiang is worried that she won't be able to hold it in and will lose her patience on camera.
"Eh?"
Upon hearing Yuka's words, Hikari suddenly froze on the spot. Her lips twitched stiffly, and her right hand, holding the paper, instinctively began to hide behind her back.
Come to think of it, she had completely forgotten about this part during the argument.
The more heated the argument got, the more ashamed Xiao Guang became of showing what he had written on his paper.
"Then let's start with Miss Hikari's demonstration."
Because Hikaru was sitting in the seat furthest to the side, Yuka spoke first.
"Huh?! This...that..."
"What's there to hesitate about... By the way, you didn't write anything weird on it again, did you?"
Having experienced this, Xiaozhi is now beginning to have a crisis of trust in Xiaoguang's performance on the show.
Although Hikari shared the same thought, she wasn't so oblivious. She quickly changed the subject to praising Satoshi, whom she had just belittled.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Xiaoguang hadn't made a move, Yuxiang asked this question.
"No, how should I put it... let Ash go first! I forgot the rules for a moment and wrote down a few things!"
Although Hikari is thinking of temporarily passing the trouble to Satoshi, she is not lying.
While writing down her most unforgettable memories of Ash on the paper, she became so engrossed in writing that she ended up writing down several things.
Whether it was their first encounter, Ash's encouragement when she faced setbacks in her daily life, the several doubles matches they participated in together, or their recent participation in the Butterfree Festival at the lakeside...
Xiao Guang, who was immersed in happiness and joy at the time, had already dug a big hole for himself.
This is a program aimed at the entire Sinnoh region, and even more.
Before participating, she had planned to say more polite and kind words on the show, but who would have thought that she would be led astray by Xiao Zhi on the show and not say a single one of the polite words she had prepared.
There are no tricks involved; it's all genuine feelings.
If I had to describe it in one sentence, this would be the most fitting.
"Is that so...?"
Yuka looked troubled.
As a professional host, she could see that Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang had already conveyed enough information and created enough program effects. Even without this segment, their program length would have been sufficient.
It even exceeded that limit, requiring the removal of many excellent scenes.
In this situation, Xiaoguang said that she had written too much, and if she were to read it all aloud, it would probably make it much more difficult for them to select the excerpts later.
Just as Yuka was thinking about whether to let Hikaru choose one of the clips to talk about, she suddenly noticed the director's hand gesture in front of her, which looked like a hand seal, and silently began to interpret it.
That gesture means...
Skip...this segment...make it into a supplementary issue...limited edition...
"?!"
Oh, I didn't know there was such a way!
Yu Xiang suddenly understood.
Putting aside Ash and Dawn's performance on the show.
Given their current fame in the Sinnoh region, even a small newspaper would sell out a special issue featuring an interview with the two of them.
Currently, they are one of the most well-known program groups on the most famous TV station in the Sinnoh region.
This interview with the two of them was so successful; if they released a magazine supplement after the show, featuring handwritten notes from the two recounting their unforgettable memories...
Furthermore, they will also release a duet song together!
If we coordinate and integrate them then!
Wouldn't their performance skyrocket?
Hiss~ hiss......
Thinking of this, Yuka's breathing became excited.
So, under the inexplicable gazes of Hikari and Satoshi, Yuuka stood up and said to the camera:
"That's all for this episode! The content written by Mr. Ash and Ms. Dawn will be presented to you in another form later! Please look forward to that day!"
"Card!!"
After Yuka said goodbye, the cameras, microphones, and other equipment on set were removed at the director's command.
Ash, Dawn, and Pikachu were left sitting there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
The next second, Hikaru suddenly realized the problem and jumped up, asking Yuuka in a halting tone:
"You...you mean these two notes...are going to be—"
"Yes, yes! We'll just publish it as an appendix in our exclusive magazine later~ Ah! Don't worry! We'll give you both a high percentage, so don't fret!"
"No! That's not what I meant! I meant... what I'll write later..."
"Yes, yes! Don't worry! We've already planned to dedicate all our resources to promoting your interviews and related merchandise! On behalf of the director, I assure you both that people throughout the Sinnoh region will be able to see publications featuring your writings! So, next—"
......
Xiao Zhi handed the paper to Yu Xiang as if he didn't care, and even if Xiao Guang was unwilling, she had written the contents herself, so she couldn't cause trouble for the production team because of her momentary carelessness.
However, after handing the paper to Yuka, Hikaru's eyes became lifeless, filled with a dark and gloomy aura.
"My life... oh dear... I'm definitely going to stay away from Sinnoh after this big festival..."
Xiaoguang seemed to have already foreseen her future situation, and she kept saying negative things while facing the wall.
"What's wrong with her?"
"have no idea......"
When asked by Xiaozhi, Xiaogang could only shrug and indicate that he was powerless to help.
Let young people handle their own affairs. He's just a complete nobody who's never even been in a relationship. He's the real loser.
"What's wrong with young people these days... I really don't understand. If they have feelings for someone, why don't they just say it directly? Back in my day—"
"Alright, director! Let's get to the final recording of the song!"
Seeing that the director was about to launch his "back in the day" offensive, which is typical of middle-aged and elderly people, Yu Xiang quickly changed the subject.
Seeing this, the director could only sigh regretfully and direct everyone to move towards the recording studio.
.......
After the soul-crushing blow, Hikari felt indifferent to everything, a relieved smile always on her face. However, this smile made Ash and the others afraid to look directly at her.
It's terrible.
Soon after, the group arrived at the recording studio.
"Although that's what they say, is it really okay for laymen like us to record and release songs? It just feels a bit strange."
Although Xiaoguang's mind was clear, when she arrived at the recording studio and saw the professional environment and facilities, she still asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, the most important thing about a song isn't just whether it sounds good or not. Technique is important, but emotion is also very important. Technique can be improved in post-production, but emotion can't."
"Emotions..."
Xiao Guang didn't know what the director meant by "emotions".
However, it wasn't until the director handed the script to the two of them that Xiao Guang slowly began to understand.
The song title was exactly as they had known from the beginning—High Five (clapping).
If Xiaoguang couldn't understand the meaning of the song title before, now, after listening to the director's dedication to emotions, she realized that the so-called high-five might refer to...
"That's right!"
The director seemed to have read her mind beforehand, and said this:
"This song was tailor-made for the two of you! It's not just about the song title! Even the content was created by us gathering a lot of information and combining all of it!"
The director seemed moved by his own words and began to clench his fists and cry.
Xiao Guang didn't know what he was moved by, but under the director's expectant gaze, she still started looking at the lyrics.
.......
Arguing, making up, arguing again
Although there is a lot I want to say
What I want to say most is
I'm so grateful to have you by my side.
......
"Snapped!"
Xiao Guang had only read the beginning when he closed the lyric book.
"...call."
Calm down, calm down!
Xiao Guang kept reminding herself to stay calm, but after reading the beginning of the lyrics, all she could think of was this question—
How can I calm down like this!
Xiao Guang finally did!
I now truly understand what the director was talking about!
emotion!
Is this what they call emotion?!
They argue, make up, and then argue again.
If taken out of context, there's nothing wrong with it; it's just normal lyrics, not only between friends but also between family members.
But if this song were released after the show, it would completely change the feel of the song!
"Ah~! The first four lines were sung by you, Miss Xiaoguang. Hmm... it should be marked in the lyric book, so it should be fine, right?"
has a problem!
This is very problematic!
Although Hikaru really wanted to answer that way, but—
I'm so embarrassed to say it!
Hikari no longer had the courage to continue watching, while Satoshi continued reciting without any emotion.
"Although on the surface it seems like they understand everything."
"Actually, I'm really happy to have you by my side."
Xiao Guang: "......"
In a normal setting, she would probably be happy to hear Xiaozhi say that, right? But now, in the recording studio with so many people "watching" nearby, she just wants to escape as quickly as possible.
"Right? It's pretty good, isn't it!"
At that moment, the director started shouting excitedly again.
"This is the culmination of a long and hard-earned effort by several well-known lyricists! To be honest, it's quite difficult to guess the personalities of these two lyricists based on the limited information we have. But after their recording today, I know this song is absolutely perfect! It's bound to be a huge hit!"
"Uh...hehe...heh...whatever makes you happy..."
Xiao Guang is now completely out of energy to meet the director's expectations.
She just wanted to get away from here as soon as possible.
She never imagined things would turn out this way!
It wouldn't matter if any step were missing, and it wouldn't cause any misunderstanding. But when all the parts are actually connected, this song undoubtedly becomes a love song!
Moreover, it's a love song sung as a duet.
Xiao Guang's feelings were somewhat complicated.
Dislike? It's hard to say; rather, it was a pleasant surprise.
But this surprise brought her a feeling of helplessness, and Xiao Guang didn't know what she was thinking.
if......
She just said if...
If everyone really thinks she and Xiaozhi are a couple, will they eventually start faking it...?
"No, no!"
Before Xiao Guang could finish her thought, she quickly shook her head in denial.
Not suitable! Absolutely not suitable!
No matter how she looks at it, she and Xiaozhi are not a good match!
She didn't even dare to acknowledge the title of "best partner" after witnessing Ash and May's doubles battle, let alone mention it!
"Huh? I didn't expect Pikachu and Piplup to have roles too."
"Huh? Really..."
"?!"
Hikari, who was still feeling heavy-hearted, started flipping through the song lyrics again after hearing Satoshi's words.
She soon noticed that in the middle of the lyrics, there were parts where she and Ash called out Piplup and Pikachu respectively.
Now the original love song has suddenly returned to its ordinary state.
Xiao Guang felt relieved, but at the same time felt a little regretful.
"Haha~ After all, we're a serious program, so naturally our focus is on travel and excitement~"
The director seemed to have read Xiao Guang's mind, adjusting his sunglasses and revealing a smug look that he had expected.
