Chapter 648 Shouldn’t

One cried silently, the other lowered her head and wiped tears. Despite the persuasion of other members, Yu Jeongyeon and Mingjing Nan did not feel relieved. They both cried very sadly. Even if they forced a smile, their wet faces looked a little sad.

In the month before their comeback, they had to practice dancing, record, prepare special stages, shoot commercials, shoot group variety shows, live broadcasts, and other things. They were very tired every day even though they were not in the comeback period. For a long time, they could only rest for three to four hours a day. They were always shrouded by fatigue, insomnia, illness, and the huge pressure brought by the results.

Maybe the first thing that came with the return of the main song was not the kind of ecstatic happiness, but a sense of relief after the huge pressure was relieved.

No wonder people like Twice were so excited. The airborne results of the return sound source are very important. To a large extent, they determine the starting step of the return and the direction of the results afterwards. Being able to list all the albums, especially the title song, is an extremely excellent first-day result for any group.

So far, among the many comebacks of the new generation of girl groups that debuted in recent years, only Red Velvet's "dumb dumb" last year has been able to do this, and this song "cheer up" is the second one.

Emotions are contagious. As members of the same group, the other members can best understand the feelings of these two crying girls. After a while, several people hugged each other. Even Lin Nayeon, who was so excited just now that she wanted to run around the street without wearing shoes, began to sob.

"Papa..."

After feeling sad for a while, the captain took the initiative to clap her hands. She clapped her hands very hard, as if she wanted to dispel the heavy pressure and bad memories of the past period of time. Her round face smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and greeted the members next to her: "Okay, okay, don't cry about such a happy thing... This is the first time we have won first place."

"That's it..." She nodded quickly in agreement, and Sun Caiying muttered in a low voice: And I don't know how long it can last..."

But before she finished speaking, she was hit by several hands. She couldn't tell whose hands they were for a while, so she could only... , she ran away, and after a circle, she hugged Zhou Ziyu next to her, while Zhou Ziyu lifted up her dog to resist her harassment. The two youngest members squeezed together, with a doll in the middle, and soon they all giggled.

This happy atmosphere was spread by the two children, and soon several people laughed easily again.

After a while of making a fuss, Yu Jeongyeon stretched vigorously and satisfied, and took the initiative to drive people away: "Go to bed early, tomorrow... there are still many schedules and "shoswcase" today, don't make too many mistakes and be punished by Sangmin Oppa. It will be terrible."

"Yes, yes, go to bed quickly, we will definitely be the first after we wake up."

"Then, good night! ”

“But I…can’t sleep…”

…………

“Can’t sleep?”

After finishing his meal and returning to the hotel, he was looking at the comments and reviews about “Cheer Up” online when he suddenly received a message from Ming Jingnan.

Seeing the sender and the content of the text message, for some reason, Chi Jingyuan suddenly saw Ming Jingnan lying on the bed, curled up in the quilt with a mobile phone, his face dimmed by the light of the screen, and his eyes squinted.

At this time, a voice came from the side. He looked at Wu Sehun who was on the balcony and seemed to be arguing with his girlfriend. He picked up the remote control and turned up the volume of the TV that was replaying “The Martial God Zhao Zilong” a little, and started texting with Ming Jingnan.

By the way, the maid standing next to Yoona senior has a pretty good makeup. She must have given Cody a red envelope. She is so dominant that her ambition is overflowing.

“Have you seen the music charts? (wink)"

"I saw it, "Cheer Up" got one empty spot, congratulations... You must have seen it too, are you happy?"

"I should be very happy... but I just cried accidentally."

"Because you are so excited because of the good results?"

"I don't know why, many members are very happy, but I felt like crying so much at that time, I couldn't help it... Is it a bit inappropriate?"

Seeing this, Chi Jingyuan pouted and shook his head.

As expected, he is a newcomer with no experience. It's just one empty spot. Who hasn't been empty before? Why is he so excited?

"It doesn't matter, as long as you cry beautifully."

"Well... maybe a little beautiful."

Mingjing Nan, who was blinking in the quilt, grinned, shook lightly twice, and replied a little narcissistically

"Then cry as you like."

"No, be stronger next time! (muscle) It seems that the results this time will be better than last time. We should be able to get the first place, right? ”

Like Zhou Ziyu, or all idols who didn’t get the first place in the song competition, they are all looking forward to their group’s first first place trophy. For all idol groups, the first place in the song competition is a good proof and recognition of their popularity and achievements.

Although getting the first place in the song competition doesn’t really mean how popular the group is, unless they dominate all the first places in the song competition for a period of time.

But if they don’t get it…

"The fact that the sound source performance is so good means that many people are paying attention to it. If it can be maintained for a period of time, it will definitely be fine. Your sales are still very high... If you go to a small channel like "The Show", the chance will be even greater." Chi Jingyuan usually responded more seriously to such serious questions. He could feel that Ming Jingnan seemed to be filled with both sincere expectations and uneasiness in his heart.

After all, it was indeed the first time that the results were so good on the first day. Twice had never had such an experience before, and it was normal for him to be afraid that he would find out that it was just a flash in the pan when he got up the next morning.

"But the company doesn't seem to have arranged for us to sing on "The Show" and "Show Chamion"..." Minami Ming quietly revealed the news.

"..." Chi Jingyuan was stunned after seeing this information. JYP actually had such an arrangement. Is there a conflict?

That shouldn't be the case. What's Twice, a new girl group with no singers, actually looking down on "The Show", a 'place where dreams come true'? Don’t you know that your senior brother GOT7 realized his dream here?

Are you actually the same as us?

So cool?

Before he could reply, Najing Nan twisted a little on the bed, changed his posture, pursed his lips, and quickly typed a few more words and sent them:

"Did you cry when EXO won the first place?"

Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to care about JYP's arrangements. After seeing Mingnan's curiosity, he recalled the scene at that time: "It wasn't on the stage, but I couldn't hold it back after returning to the lounge."

It was really hard for him to forget the scene when he was first in first place. When he returned to the backstage and the other members hugged each other and cried, he couldn't hold back the tears. The excitement and relief in his heart at that time is still there today. He had some vivid memories of it so far.

Thinking of this, Chi Jingyuan, who had been a little arrogant before, instantly understood the psychology and emotions of Zhou Ziyu, Mingjing Nan, and the rest of Twice towards someone so urgent.

After all, they are all people who have been here...

"Can't you help it? I don't know how I will behave if one day we win the first place."

"Trying not to cry?"

"Although I really want to work hard...but it feels a bit difficult."

"Then cry more beautifully?"

"Hmm... (laughing) I'll think about it!"

Chi Jingyuan also laughed while looking at the phone screen. He felt that he and the girl were inexplicably cute. He exhaled and gave a sincere blessing just like he had cheered Zhou Ziyu before:

"come on!"

…

The next day, I don’t know if it was arranged by JYP or if these media have been keeping an eye on the comeback results of these groups. Anyway, various press releases have been sent out early in the morning:

"At 0:00 on April 25th, JYP's new generation girl group twice's second mini-album "Page Two" was officially released. As of 7:00 a.m., the title song "cheer Up" was live on 8 major music source websites including Melon and Naver Bugs. The music chart occupies the top position.

It is understood that the title song "cheer up" was composed by well-known idol and producer EXO member Yuan. It is a refreshing and refreshing color pop dance song. It shows TWICE's unique bright and refreshing image through tailor-made dance. In addition to the title song "Cheer Up", the new album also includes covers of senior singer Park Ji-yoon's songs "Precious Love" and "Touchdown"

In addition, the singers who released new songs today include the girl group Lovelyz, who also released their second mini-album "a new trilogy" at midnight, with the title song "Destiny". The boy group SEVENTEEN released its first regular album "LOVE&LETTER", with the title song "Pretty U". The title songs of the two groups ranked second and third on the music chart respectively. "

While various press releases and publicity attracted the attention of passers-by, the subsequent development was even more surprising, because "Cheer Up" was not just a hit. Many fans, and even Twice members, were worried about only having a good debut, but then falling rapidly in the rankings. Violent death did not occur, but the sound source became more and more uncharacteristic, erupting unexpectedly by many people.

At 0:00 on the 25th, just an hour and a half after the album's sound source was released, the title song "cheer up" topped the list of the eight major music sources on the peninsula, including Melon. Not long after Twice's comeback showcase ended on the 25th, Nearing the 26th, they achieved their first all-kill on the music chart.

What's even more surprising is that this is not the point. "Cheer Up" achieved PAK on the morning of the 27th, which is Perfect All-kill, which is the so-called real-time and daily charts of all charts, as well as the ichart weekly chart. All firsts.

This is not an achievement that ordinary idols and songs can achieve. Although it does not completely mean that this song is very popular, at least enough people have listened to it.

As for girl groups, there are basically only one or two songs a year. Girls' Generation has never achieved this achievement... But it can't be said completely, because Girls' Generation representative Kim Taeyeon did it with "I" when she was solo last year.

Before "Cheer Up", the last girl group song to achieve PAK was Gfriend's "Time Passes". Everyone can still remember how popular that song was at the time, and another song appeared in just a few months. Many people can't help but feel a very strange feeling.

It feels that the form of girl groups in the music industry this year seems to have really begun to change dramatically.

…………

“Look at the direction of this source, oh my god, this song feels like it’s going to explode.”

“Seventeen and Lovelyz are not good, I feel like they can’t beat “Cheer Up” at all, is this song really that good?”

“The first stage hasn’t come out yet, the advantages of the boy group haven’t been brought into play yet… But Jingyuan is amazing, the first time he wrote a song for a girl group, the result is so good? But to be honest, I really don’t think this song has anything outstanding, why did it suddenly become popular? Twice’s popularity was not very high before.”

“Didn’t we agree that it would be a useless song?”

“Hmm…”

In the practice room, EXO members chattered about the hottest topics in the music industry these days, especially Park Chanyeol and Kim Junmyeon, who were the loudest.

And facing the scenes where other members enthusiastically discussed Twice and “Cheer Up”, especially when talking about the performance of this song and the huge contrast with Chi Jingyuan and some people in SM company’s previous predictions, Chi Jingyuan, as one of the initiators, could only stammer and hum twice, not knowing what to say.

He was actually quite surprised by the results of Twice, or the song "Cheer Up". When he saw how suitable they were for this style, and how members like Lin Nayeon could make their vitality and cuteness stand out, he actually felt that their comeback results should be good this time.

But he didn't expect such an explosion... Because digestion is digestion, but he actually had the same idea as Kim Jong Dae. He really didn't think this song was that good. It was just a lively girl group song.

Could it be that the people led the song?

Chi Jingyuan looked at the various press releases on his phone and thought in surprise.

Impossible, what can Twice, a newcomer who debuted just half a year, lead? Even the cheering sticks were made the day before yesterday.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to analyze it.

In any case, the songs he created and produced, and the group his good friend is in, can achieve such good results. Although it is a bit embarrassing that it is not quite in line with his expectations, he is actually quite happy besides being surprised.

EXO members are all experienced people, and they can see that "Cheer Up" has already started to gain momentum in just three days. If there are no accidents in the future, Twice's comeback this time may really explode.

"Let's go, start recording "Miss You."

Just as they were thinking, the agent came over to urge them. Chi Jingyuan and a few others stopped chatting and stood up. They were divided into several groups and followed in turn to record "Miss You", one of the two main hits of this comeback.

Although the pre-release song "Fire" will be released in two weeks, everything that needs to be done for this song has been almost completed. Privately, they are still preparing for the new album step by step according to the plan.

"Miss You" is one of Chi Jingyuan's favorite songs in this regular third album. Although the style is different, it is not inferior to another main hit "Monster". This is a rare song that can be both lyrical and popular. It can be said that it fits EXO's luxurious lead singer configuration very well.

The company was also worried that EXO's transformation style was too strong to fit the European and American markets. The explosive dance music would make some fans and passers-by unaccustomed to it, resulting in poor sound source performance and affecting the sound source reputation that was hard to develop. Therefore, this song was specially promoted to the position of the double main song, which can also prove that the company and Chi Jingyuan are optimistic about this song.

But today, for some reason, Chi Jingyuan's recording state did not seem to be very good. Occasionally, there were some low-level mistakes during recording, and there were also many flaws in the expression of emotions. As the producer of this song, he was also criticized by the recording engineer. The recording engineer actually suggested that he go back to adjust his state, let others record first, and he would come later.

This made Chi Jingyuan feel extremely helpless, and he unexpectedly enjoyed the treatment of Lin Nayeon.

After grinding for an hour or so, he came out of the recording studio, and did not watch Bian Baekhyun's recording work next to him.

After returning to the practice room, he casually said a few perfunctory words to others. He was not in a good mood and opened his mobile phone. He flipped through it and found the thank-you text message he received the day before yesterday.

When "Cheer Up" was ranked first on the chart and achieved All Kill on the same day, he received thank-you text messages from all the members of Twice at different times.

It was both out of politeness and they were really grateful to him.

"Oppa, did you see that? We got the first place on the music chart!"

"Thank you so much, Oppa, for writing this song for us."

"This is the first time we got the first place on the music chart. Thank you, Oppa. kkkkk I'll treat you to dinner next time!"

"We just finished our comeback showcase, which was held at the same venue as our debut showcase, but there are so many people here today... Hehe, the members are all saying they want to thank you."

"Thank you, Jingyuan, nim, Kangsangmida."

Including Lin Nayeon, who had hardly spoken to him since exchanging contact information, everyone had text messages. Some people sounded familiar, some sounded a little strange, some were excited, and some were more reserved.

But no matter what the tone was, he could feel the passion and sincerity in the hearts of these girls from the words... Although some of them even used honorifics that looked a bit stiff.

After flipping it out and watching it again, I don't know why Chi Jingyuan's mood suddenly became much more relaxed. He was attracted by the noise next to him. He turned his head and found that the members were still discussing Twice. However, under the provocation of several loyal viewers of "PRODUCE 101", the topic has become whether I.O.I, who will officially debut next week and are clearly going to be popular, can beat Tuwas, who has a similar style, and whether their title song will be more popular than "Cheer Up".

He listened to a few sentences casually with his mouth pursed, then turned his eyes to the window and looked outside for a while. Suddenly he remembered something, picked up his phone and logged into his Instagram, recalled the most impressive moves when he was choreographing for Twice, and after a little consideration, he walked to the window and found an extremely strange angle that could only see the hair and forehead, took a selfie with the red sky outside as the background, and then sent it out:

"The recording is always wrong, shy shy shy!"
