Chapter 32 Do you like the smell of me?
As Xu Kong agreed to Su Zhi's invitation, he was already preparing to go to Star City to prepare for the next live broadcast of the "Singer" singing competition.
The crew of "Want to See You" will probably also be forced to take three to four days off.
At present, the filming progress of the entire drama is over halfway, which is much faster than originally planned. A few days of rest will not have much impact.
But Xu Kong still won't stay in Star City for too long.
After all, the entire crew, plus some temporarily hired staff, totaling more than 100 people, would spend a considerable amount of money just for one day's rest.
The budget of "Want to See You" is limited, but Xu Kong still hopes to spend money wisely.
“Have you read the hot searches?”
"Netizens don't seem to be very optimistic about you being Su Zhi's backup singer."
Guo Zihao said.
Xu Kong is not surprised by this. As a popular idol, participating in "Singer", the most professional competitive music variety show in the country, is a big news in itself.
The program "Singer" has been on the air for more than a month, and almost every episode is extremely popular.
Every time the show is broadcast live, almost all Weibo's hot search lists are completely flooded.
Even if just some information about the replacement singer is exposed, it can attract countless netizens to watch.
It was the same this time. As the guest list of each singer on the show was revealed, it caused an uproar.
"Damn it, Avril Lavigne's singing guest is actually Yousef? How can other people play with this?"
"Obviously the intensity of the program has become higher and higher, and none of the singers we invited are weak."
"Well, it's not like nothing. Didn't Su Zhi invite Xu Kong to help sing?"
"I just wanted to complain, Su Zhi has completely failed this time? No one in the domestic music scene will let an idol like Xu Kong go up and be embarrassed, right?"
"Well, I just went to see Xu Kong's performance on Creation of Trainees last year. I can only say that it's hard to describe. I feel that Su Zhi will be at the bottom if nothing unexpected happens this time."
Among the revelations this time, the most discussed ones are not the two foreign European and American singers, nor the domestic singers like Guan Yan, but Xu Kong, a top domestic entertainment star.
In fact, in such a relatively professional competitive music competition, Xu Kong's name seems too abrupt.
Looking back on the year since Xu Kong's debut, in fact, except for Fengqing Entertainment's various hot searches and creating topics most of the time, there really are no outstanding works and stages.
The only thing worth discussing is that Xu Kong wrote two hit singles such as "The Best Losing Friend" and "So Many People in the World".
Some of Xu Kong's past dark history was dug up again.
As a top streamer, it is natural that it will be popular, but at the same time, it is also inevitable that there will be many negative fans.
There are currently so many top idols in China, and no one can be called a qualified top idol without a large number of negative fans.
However, Xu Kong also watched some of the previous performances by the original owner, and was still a little embarrassed. It was really too bad.
Not to mention tone-deaf, the timbre of Xu Kong's body is actually quite good.
He just had no skills or singing skills at all, just a white voice. Even though Fengqing Entertainment had offered music courses specifically for him, he couldn't do anything in typhoons or live performances.
If it weren't for the fact that he was so handsome, probably even if Feng Qing Entertainment spent so much effort, it still wouldn't be able to make Xu Kong famous.
However, after the live broadcast of this episode of "Singer", Xu Kong felt that everyone's stereotype of him might have to change.
Guo Zihao wanted to help manage the crew of "Want to See You", so he did not go to Star City with Xu Kong this time.
Xu Kong got off the plane with his assistant and two bodyguards.
Of course, there is also the indispensable fan pick-up session.
For top players like Xu Kong, it is customary to reveal their itinerary in advance.
Every time you arrive in a city, the number of fans who pick you up at the airport has often become the key to assessing whether you are still alive.
After spending some time signing autographs and taking photos with fans, Xu Kong finally left the airport.
At this time, Su Zhi's agent's car was already waiting at the door. After getting in the car, Xu Kong saw Su Zhi sitting in the back.
The other party was wearing a half-length denim jacket today, with a black short skirt underneath.
He still has the same ascetic face without much expression, plus the short hair that has been trimmed very delicately.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Kong did not sit in the front seat, but walked directly to the back row and sat down next to Su Zhi.
Su Zhi didn't object too much.
As the commercial vehicle started to move, Su Zhi asked:
"Should we go to the hotel first, or go directly to the recording studio?"
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.
Then he remembered that the crew was really busy during this period, and he forgot to send the song to the other party in advance.
"Let's go to the recording studio first. Let you listen to the new song we sang together this time."
Su Zhi nodded silently, and then said something to the driver.
Sitting side by side, although there was some distance, Xu Kong could still smell the fragrance of the other person very clearly.
The perfumes used by Yu Yaqing are all relatively heavy types. The fragrance is very strong, but not pungent. The price is probably not cheap.
Song Youyou doesn't seem to like wearing perfume, so every time she has close contact with her, she smells of shampoo and shower gel.
As for Su Zhi, although the brand of the perfume Xu Kong she used could not be identified, the smell was much lighter than that of Yu Yaqing, with the scent of osmanthus.
Xu Kong didn't pay attention. He subconsciously compared the smells of several girls and sniffed them several times in succession.
Such behavior has been keenly noticed by Su Zhi sitting next to her.
"Do you like the smell of me?"
"Does it smell good?"
Xu Kong was stunned by Su Zhi's sudden opening.
He didn't expect that his actions would be discovered by the other party.
And Su Zhi said it directly.
Fortunately, apart from the driver responsible for driving, there were only two of them in the car at this time.
Otherwise, it would be even more embarrassing.
Xu Kong coughed lightly, pretending to be fine, and casually picked up the bottled water in the car and drank it.
"What brand is your perfume? I seem to have smelled it before."
"It feels a little familiar."
After asking this question, Su Zhi did not answer him directly. Instead, she stared at Xu Kong quite intently and asked again with a curious expression:
"Do you often smell other girls?"
After Xu Kong heard these words, he almost spit out a mouthful of water.
Finally it stabilized.
"I don't have the habit of wearing perfume. You may have smelled it wrong."
Su Zhi acted as if nothing was wrong, and then answered Xu Kong's question.
“Maybe it’s because I caught a cold some time ago and there’s something wrong with my nose”
Xu Kong just wanted to end this topic quickly and found an excuse casually.
Fortunately, Su Zhi did not speak again.
But after a while, Xu Kong's body suddenly shook in the car.
"Wait a minute. You're not wearing perfume? Is it body scent?"
