Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1128 - 501: Red Velvet and the Subtitle Teams’ Shared Journey (Part 3)

"It's just a reasonable doubt, why is the money spent so quickly?"

People don't realize money is being spent when they're spending it.

Especially since this isn't cash.

The visual experience of 5000 yuan stacked together is excellent, but once you put that 5000 yuan in an electronic account, it's just a string of numbers.

Electronic payments are really terrifying, this time Bae Juhyun and the others truly experienced it.

"You bought a lot of things, huh."

"No, didn't we have quite a bit of money?" Son Seungwan said, emphasizing the thickness of the previous 5000 yuan cash with her thumb and forefinger.

It's only been a day!

And it's gone?

"Electronic payments are like that, the money in your phone account feels different from the money you see in reality."

Li Chenglu chuckled, she understood this feeling all too well.

"But it's really convenient, no matter where you go, just using a phone is incredible."

Seoul has similar payment methods, but more people habitually carry cash, keeping tens of thousands of won in their wallet just in case.

But in China, they seemed to have never used cash once.

"But if the phone accidentally gets lost, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

"No, you can still use facial recognition, with Alipay it's fine."

"Wow..."

"How amazing."

"So our money just disappeared unknowingly like this?"

"To be precise, it turned into these things." Liu Xin'an pointed at the shopping bags they had set aside.

A precise and unerring quip utterly shattered any remaining thoughts of resistance Bae Juhyun and the others had.

They shared a knowing sigh and continued eating spicy hotpot, chatting casually.

As for the gift Lee Yeonju mentioned?

As long as they don't think about it, they won't feel regret.

As artists active in the entertainment industry, if they couldn't muster even this level of Ah Q spirit, it would be too tough to survive in this environment.

After lunch and a short break, the group returned to the dormitory and began their final preparations.

As the last event of their trip to China, Bae Juhyun and her team placed great importance on this stage performance.

While Bae Juhyun and the others were seriously working with the stylists to prepare suitable looks, Liu Xin'an found Seong Taekyon and Lee Yeonju.

"Can we use multiple cameras to completely record this fan meeting?"

"That was the plan, this time the group show will be simulcast on Bilibili, and we'll also set up cameras in the audience to post the full footage online for fans to enjoy,"

Seong Taekyon answered Liu Xin'an's question quietly.

This reassured Liu Xin'an, as he had received numerous inquiries from online supporters and Bae Juhyun fans in recent days, all expressing the same desire to see a full video of this fan meeting.

The previous two events had not restricted fans from recording with their phones, so the full footage had been posted by fans on Bilibili each time.

But this time was different, they restricted fans from using phones, so no fans spilled the beans.

"That's fine, I've received many private messages from fans curiously wondering if the group show will have an official Chinese version..."

"Of course, there will be."

Liu Xin'an breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again.

That means that the subtitle groups and the uploaders on Bilibili would be at a disadvantage.

It's questionable whether these subtitle groups' actions involve copyright infringement, but before Red Velvet joined Bilibili, tens of thousands of fans relied on these groups' efforts to easily learn about them online.

Now, doing this...

"Hey, if you could collaborate with the subtitle groups that have been uploading Red Velvet videos on Bilibili, it might enhance their reputation."

Seong Taekyon raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and thought about Liu Xin'an's suggestion.

Indeed, they certainly wouldn't pursue these subtitle groups for infringement, and disregarding their efforts at this point would be foolish.

If they adopted Liu Xin'an's suggestion, they wouldn't be burning bridges, but instead, showing gratitude for these groups' contributions, it would surely enhance Red Velvet's reputation.

The only trivial matter... Since it would become a collaboration, they would definitely need to pay the subtitle groups.

This cost, compared to what Red Velvet would gain...

He nodded, indicating his agreement.

"I will contact these subtitle groups later."

"Thanks for your hard work, Bilibili also has a co-posting feature, make sure to change it to joint posting when you update, brother."

"Yeah, I'll check with you before publishing."

Liu Xin'an nodded with a smile.

Though he wasn't a long-time follower of Red Velvet, he could feel the gratitude towards these subtitle groups through everyone's comments while catching up on episodes featuring Bae Juhyun before.

After finishing this discussion, he walked over to his girlfriend's side.

Bae Juhyun was chatting with the stylist, and when Liu Xin'an's reflection appeared in the mirror in front of her, she curled her lips, her beautiful eyes glistening.

"What are you doing?"

"Just came to see my beautiful girlfriend, wow, is it a beautiful style today?"

Liu Xin'an gazed at the exquisite woman in the mirror, his eyes full of admiration, and expressed his praise.

This slightly exaggerated compliment made Bae Juhyun laugh, she reached out and pinched her boyfriend's cheeks.

Honestly, she loved Liu Xin'an's praise, but she still needed to be a bit modest.

How could she openly accept it? Even though what Liu Xin'an said was true.

"Don't be so exaggerated."

"I'm not exaggerating, right, Seungwan?"

Son Seungwan, standing to the side, looked at the couple spreading dog food with a blank expression and then twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Si..."
