Chapter 647 First

As time goes by, it is getting closer and closer to the day of Twice's official return. As it is his first time to write a song for a group of other companies and also his first song for a girl group, Chi Jingyuan is actually quite concerned about it. In addition, several familiar friends like Zhou Ziyu are in this group, so he still hopes that Twice's return can be better this time.

After all, he and the nine members of Twice, as well as many employees of JYP, have worked hard for so long, and have had a good start and a pretty good process. Of course, they also hope to have a relatively happy ending.

Twice's publicity and promotion began at the beginning of April, and pre-sales were opened on the 12th and it was confirmed that they would officially return on the 25th. But to be honest, this time period is not a very good time to release songs, because the recent period after entering spring is actually a hot period for idol groups to return.

Just like Twice, Seventeen and Lovelyz also announced their comeback on the 25th. These two are also popular new-generation groups, especially Seventeen. After debuting last year, they released two mini albums. Although they have not won their first No. 1 song, they have become a very popular group among the new-generation boy groups with good quality songs and excellent and neat stages.

Including Twice, there are three boy and girl groups releasing songs on the same day, which was a rare situation in the past. Generally, they would be staggered for a few days or a week. The competition this time is not to be underestimated. If nothing unexpected happens, the fans should be fighting for it.

And not only are the opponents on the same day very strong, but there are also very powerful and popular artists returning before and after this period. Last week, Block B returned after two years and the popularity is high. This week, there are first-line boy group Vixx and Jung Eun-ji, who debuted solo and has won three No. 1 songs with very good sound source results.

Looking down, I.O.I, the "national girl group" voted by the national producers, will be officially announced to debut in early May next week. Because of the extremely high popularity and discussion during the broadcast of "PRODUCE 101", it occupied the hot search for several days after the end. Many people are waiting for their official debut. It can be said that I.O.I is basically a girl group that will be popular after its debut. In addition, I.O.I's style is actually somewhat similar to that of Twice, and there is actually a lot of competition and overlap in terms of fans.

Later, there are the sound source of Dawu Akdong Musician and the second member of Girls' Generation, Huang Miying, who debuted solo.

Then there is EXO. With EXO's current popularity and exaggerated fan base, if nothing unexpected happens, it should knock down all opponents, even if it is a pre-release song that is not promoted much and has not released a physical album.

So Twice actually didn't choose the right time for this comeback. There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and the competition is very fierce.

But no matter what, Chi Jingyuan still hopes that Zhou Ziyu and others can get the first place

…

As the 25th approaches, several groups that are about to return, such as Seventeen and Lovelyz, have begun to carry out various publicity. The management company has also released a lot of materials to warm up. Fans have also begun to spontaneously recommend and hype them online, and the music industry has suddenly become lively.

Of course, JYP is not to be outdone. After the promotional photos with the concept of cheerleading released some time ago received a lot of praise, they have recently released a clip of the title song "Cheer Up" every other day. By the 23rd, there were already seven or eight preview videos. Although each one was only a short 10 to 20 seconds, it did give fans a lot to watch and discuss. The new looks and performances of the members in it have aroused a lot of interest from passers-by, raising the heat and expectations.

At the same time, some other channels were used to reveal some tidbits and interesting stories about the album on the Internet, especially many places specifically pointed out the relationship between the song "Cheer Up" and Chi Jingyuan, which attracted the interest of many EXO fans and audiences.

This is actually a publicity trick that JYP did internally, but fans and many passersby just buy into it. Ji Jingyuan's reputation has actually been established over the years, and many EXO hits are from him, so many people are curious about what his girl group songs are like.

In addition, Aili cursed Lin Nayeon and Tuwas for their poor abilities, while clearly supporting her own Oppa's career as a producer. Although it is only a girl group, Twice has become the hottest of the recent returning groups in terms of expectations and popularity.

Time flies and it is the evening of April 24th. EXO has just finished the K-POP TOP GROUP CONCERT concert held in Liaocheng, inland China.

This was a compilation concert organized by a mainland entertainment company, which invited several well-known Kpop boy groups to work together. The appearance of the most popular EXO as a ticket-selling machine and the biggest gimmick made many mainland A-listers ecstatic. With the support of fans, they finally appeared on stage and performed five songs. Until the end of the show, the entire Liaocheng Gymnasium was still filled with thunderous cheers of "encore".

It was really too enthusiastic. The cheers and enthusiasm were really not on the same level as the previous boy groups BTOB and B1A4. When Chi Jingyuan saw the silver Aili sticks waving all over the stage, he was a little confused. Where did these fans buy these cheering items?

Finally, under the enthusiasm of the fans, they returned to the stage to thank them and chatted for a few more words before the show officially ended. When the EXO members took off their makeup and found a hot pot restaurant next to the hotel to have a midnight snack, it was almost midnight.

It was so late that many restaurants around were closed.

Just as they were chatting casually after ordering food, Chi Jingyuan suddenly remembered something. He stopped talking halfway, took out his phone and started to click quickly. His unusual behavior also attracted the attention of several people around him. Wu Sehun moved his stool and looked over, asking curiously:

"What are you looking at?"

"I was a little excited about the concert just now and forgot about it. Twice will release the album on the 25th. It's almost one o'clock here and there. The song's airborne data should be out soon."

Chi Jingyuan explained while his fingers were clicking quickly on the phone.

Although there are many Kpop songs that have counterattacked the music charts through their own efforts and accidents, most songs are determined by a considerable part of the subsequent development after the ranking of the airborne ranking is released, so the airborne performance of the song is very important.

Chi Jingyuan had actually been paying close attention to Twice's music performance after releasing songs. Before the concert, he had thought about checking the situation as soon as possible. It was all because someone suddenly mentioned the recently popular drama "The Martial God Zhao Zilong", which immediately aroused Chi Jingyuan's enthusiasm for discussion. He then commented on Yoona's appearance in the drama and her increasingly skilled micro-expressions, which made him forget the time difference for a while.

"Twice? Why are you so concerned about a girl group? It can't be..." Some people are not very smart. Kim Jong-dae looked at Chi Jingyuan a little dully.

Park Chanyeol remembered it very clearly: "The title song of Twice's comeback this time was written by Jingyuan, and he is also the producer. Jingyuan went to JYP every day some time ago. Did you forget?"

"Oh, I remember..." Kim Jong-dae nodded slowly, looking at Chi Jingyuan with a look of surprise: "So you really are a serious producer? I thought you wrote songs for Twice because you liked someone..."

Hearing this, Wu Sehun, who had been leaning next to Chi Jingyuan and looking at his phone, suddenly looked up and said with a helpless "It's hard to say."

"Haha... I think so too." Park Chanyeol smiled and nodded, and took out his phone at the same time.

"I remember that there are not many good-looking girls in Twice. I have seen them at award ceremonies a few times, and they all seem ordinary, not as good as Irene..."

"Lin Nayeon is okay, very cute, the others are just average."

"Isn't Tzuyu the most popular? Will Twice release a song today? I didn't even know."

"Well, the audio and MV have just been released. The time in the mainland is one hour slower... But it has been very popular in the past few days. Have you not read the news at all?"

"I haven't paid much attention to it. I don't think there are many new girl groups that attract me... The songs written by Jingyuan should be very good... Let me take a look..."

Including Kim Jong Dae, the members of EXO also became curious and took out their mobile phones to log in to the music website of Peninsula.

So far, several popular songs of EXO have been produced by their youngest, including XO's most popular "Roar" and "Boy with Luv". In addition, some other songs included in the album have also received very good reputations. The members of EXO still have great confidence in the ability of their youngest in composing and producing songs.

There is no need to question the reputation of boy band songs. Now that Chi Jingyuan wrote a girl band song for the first time and it was just released, several people became interested.

"I remember the song "Cheer Up". It seemed to be called "Come on", right? It seemed to be our company's song before. I heard a familiar musician in the company mention it." Jin Junmyeon tapped his phone and seemed to remember something. He mentioned it casually: "But that brother didn't think the song was very high. He said it was a very ordinary pop song and a useless song that the company didn't want to use..."

"Useless song? There are useless songs written by Jingyuan? I don't believe it." Jin Minxi believed in the level of the youngest member very much. He leaned back and waved his hand, clearly expressing his support for Chi Jingyuan.

"Anyway, it seems to be said that... Jingyuan?" Jin Junmyeon was not sure and looked at Chi Jingyuan tentatively.

Ji Jingyuan opened the webpage and was waiting to refresh it. After hearing what the members said, he raised his head, shrugged with an innocent and helpless look, then nodded and said in confirmation:

At this time, Park Chanyeol next to him also made it to the melon list. When he saw the ranking, he immediately shouted loudly, with an extremely surprised tone, and his voice was heard at the same time as Ji Jingyuan's, completely overlapping:

"Ah, who said it was a useless song? It's called "Cheer Up", right? Look at this airdrop..."

"That's what Mr. Lee Soo-man meant."

...

While EXO was chatting leisurely in the hot pot restaurant box, Twice, far away in Seoul, was also paying attention to the airdrop results of their own music sources after releasing their songs.

As the parties involved, they naturally couldn't be as relaxed as the bystanders like EXO. At this time, the members in the dormitory living room seemed a little nervous. Some people kept pursing their lips and couldn't speak. Only a few who were a little calmer, such as Kim Da Hyun, would speak from time to time to make fun and ease the atmosphere.

As a girl group that debuted for the second time in half a year, the results of this comeback are actually very critical to them. In addition to the success of this transformation being crucial to their future development, it is also because many people know the company's current operating difficulties and the extraordinary expectations for the group Twice.

In addition to giving them more resources and schedules, this expectation also brought suffocating pressure.

It has been like this since the MV and sound source were officially released an hour ago. They have been sitting here an hour ago, watching the number of clicks and comments on the mobile phone web page constantly refreshing with both worry and expectation.

Many people were nervous and anxious, sitting on the sofa holding their phones and refreshing constantly, staring at them without blinking,

But there were exceptions, some people were more open-minded, maybe they thought that no matter whether they looked at it or not, the ranking would be there and would not change... Of course, they might also be too tired, so they just went to bed and slept.

Like Momo Hirai, she was even snoring softly.

"Ahhh, why hasn't it been refreshed yet..."

Lin Nayeon fiddled with her phone for a long time and still couldn't see her own ranking. She complained anxiously, her mouth wide open, and she punched the pillow in her arms twice, making the originally aggressive dinosaur head on the pillow dented directly. At the same time, her feet in white socks were not wearing slippers, and she kicked the ground several times continuously, making a thump thump thump sound, which made her extremely anxious.

Yu Jeongyeon, who usually comforted her or teased her at this time, was silent, sitting sideways beside her and looking down at her phone without saying a word.

"It should be pretty good to be airborne. I just saw that the comments are all pretty good." Park Ji Hyo

Kim Da Hyun immediately nodded and agreed, livening up the atmosphere. "Yeah, I saw it too. The fans seem satisfied. The number of hits on the MV is also increasing very quickly... I guess it will definitely be in the top 30!"

"No, 20!" She just finished speaking, and then she felt like she said something wrong and slapped her mouth lightly with her hand, raising her hand in a funny way to change her words.

"That's good, I'll be satisfied if I can be in the top 20." Son Chae Young was happy, as if she had thought of something happy, and then she put her hands together in front of her, shaking her mouth and mumbling a prayer: "Top 20! Top 20, top 20, top 20, top 20..."

The voice was as loud as a mosquito, and Ming Jingnan next to her slapped her gently before she stopped.

"It's out!" This is when Zhou Ziyu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly reminded her.

Although she didn't say anything, she was one of the most diligent users who refreshed her phone.

"It's out, it's out, it's out!"

Zhou Ziyu's voice was low, and some people didn't hear it clearly, but Park Ji Hyo's voice was loud enough to instantly attract everyone's attention.

"How many places did you get in?" Someone asked while refreshing the webpage, and her heart suddenly tightened.

"Ahhh..."

"Oh my! Look!"

The Internet speed in Seoul is very fast. Although some people have a little delay, the next second everyone saw the music source list refreshed on the phone, and the names and songs on it were clearly written.

"1. Twice "Cheer Up""

"Am I seeing it right? Is it the first?"

"It's the first!"

"Ah Qingjia, is it really?"

"Ahhh..."

The ecstasy brought by the unexpected results hit everyone's heart and emotions. Some people immediately cheered excitedly, and the excitement of being overjoyed even made her voice crack a little.

Zhou Ziyu started to ravage Xilu in her arms with a smile, kneading and pinching the dog's face with both hands, and then she suddenly smiled knowingly after bullying the speechless dog's face into a ball, hugged it and pressed her face against it and arched it hard.

Lin Nayeon didn't even wear shoes, she jumped up directly from the sofa, ran around the sofa happily, and stretched out her arms and kept swinging, like a small airplane.

Several people kept expressing their ecstasy, but suddenly found that several members had not spoken. They looked closely and saw Yu Jeongyeon, who had lowered her head, her shoulders trembling and crying silently, and Mingjingnan, whose eyes were red and she kept wiping tears, and immediately surrounded them and showed concern:

"Jingyan, why are you crying?"

"Don't cry... Mina, why are you crying too?"

"..."

"Ah, don't cry... If you cry again, I will cry too."
