Peninsula Asteroid

One cried silently, and the other lowered his head and wiped his tears. After the persuasion of other members, Yu Dingyan and Mingnan did not find any relief. They both cried very sadly. Even if they forced a smile, their faces looked like pear blossoms. It makes people a little sad.

In the month before their comeback, they have to practice dance, record, prepare special stages, shoot commercials, film group variety shows, live broadcasts and other busy things. Even though they are not in the comeback period, they are still very tired every day. For a period of time, I could only rest for three to four hours a day. I was constantly surrounded by fatigue, insomnia, illness, and the huge pressure caused by my performance.

Perhaps what the return of the title song brought them first was not the ecstatic happiness, but a sense of relief after the huge pressure was relieved.

It’s no wonder people like Twice are so excited. The performance of the return music source is very important. It determines the starting point of the return and the direction of future performance to a large extent. Being able to be on the list for all majors, especially the title song Kongyi, is very important to anyone. This is an extremely good first-day result for the group.

So far, among the new generation girl groups that have debuted in recent years, they have made many comebacks. Only Red Velvet's "Dumb Dumb" last year has been able to do this. This song "Cheer Up" is the second one.

Emotions are contagious. As members of the same group, others can best understand the mood of these two girls who couldn't stop crying. After a while, they hugged each other. Even though they were so excited just now, they wanted to go to the street without wearing shoes. After running two laps, Lin Nalian's eyes began to moan and sob.

"Pa bang..."

After feeling sad for a while, the captain clapped her hands vigorously, as if she wanted to dispel the heavy pressure and bad memories of the past period, and greeted her with a smile on her round face like a Maitreya Buddha. Looking at the member next to him: "Okay, okay, don't cry about such a happy thing... This is the first time we have won first place."

"That's right..." She nodded quickly in agreement, and then whispered in a low voice: And I don't know how long it will last..."

But before she could finish speaking, several hands reached out and hit her. She couldn't tell whose hand it was, so she could only run away with a cry, circled around and hugged Zhou Ziyu next to her. Zhou Ziyu, on the other hand, raised the dog up and down to resist her harassment. The two maknae crowded together with a doll in between, and soon they both started to giggle.

This happy atmosphere spread through the two children, and after a while, several people started laughing more easily.

After making a fuss for a while, Yu Dingyan stretched out with strength and satisfaction, and took the initiative to chase people away: "Go to bed early, tomorrow... I still have a lot of schedule and "Showcase" today, don't make too many mistakes and be caught by Sang Min-oh. It will be miserable if Ba teaches you a lesson.”

"Yes, yes, hurry up and take a rest. We will definitely still be number one after we wake up."

"Good night then!"

"But I...can't sleep..."

…………

"Can't sleep?"

After returning to the hotel after dinner, I was reading the comments and reviews about "Cheer Up" online when I suddenly received a message from Minami Nai.

Seeing the sender and the content of the text message, Chi Jingyuan suddenly appeared in front of Chi Jingyuan. Mingjing Nan was lying on the bed, huddled up in the quilt and holding a mobile phone. His face was dimmed by the light from the screen, and his eyes were stung. The way he narrowed his eyes.

At this time, there was a sound of people nearby. He looked at Wu Shixun who was on the phone with his girlfriend on the balcony and seemed to be arguing about something. He picked up the remote control and turned up the sound of the TV that was replaying "Martial God Zhao Zilong" a little louder. I started texting with Najing Nan.

By the way, the maid standing next to Yoona-senpai looks pretty good in makeup. She must have given Cody a red envelope. She is so presumptuous that her ambition is overflowing.

"Have you looked at the music charts? (wink)"

"I watched "Cheer Up", Kuichi, congratulations... You must have watched it too, aren't you very happy?"

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

"Excited because of good grades?"

"I don't know why. Many members were very happy, but I felt like crying at that time and couldn't help it... Is it inappropriate?"

Seeing this sentence, Chi Jingyuan pursed his lips and shook his head.

Sure enough, he is a newbie with no experience. He is just idle. Who has never been idle before? As for being so excited.

"It doesn't matter, just make it look good when you cry."

"Hmm...it might be a little bit nice."

Naijing Nan, who was blinking in bed, grinned, shook his head twice and replied with a little narcissism.

"Then feel free to cry."

"No, you have to be stronger next time! (Muscle) feels like this time the results will be better than last time. We should be able to get first place, right?"

Like Zhou Ziyu, or in other words, all idols who have not won the first place in singing competition are the same. They are very looking forward to the first one trophy for their group. For all idol groups, winning the first ranking in singing competition It is a good proof and recognition of one's popularity and achievements.

Although being able to get the first place in the singing competition, it actually does not mean how popular this group is, unless it has a dominant performance and has won the top place in all the singing competition for a period of time.

But if you can’t get it…

"The fact that the sound source performance is so good means that many people are paying attention. If it can be maintained for a period of time, it will be no problem. 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'? Didn’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, Ming Jingnan, 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 25, 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 available in real time on 8 major music sites 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 \u0026 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 an empty one. Many fans, and even Twice members, were worried about only having a good debut and then rapidly declining 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.

Girl groups basically only have one or two songs a year, and Girls' Generation has never achieved this kind of achievement... But that can't be said completely, because SNSD's representative Kim Taeyeon did it with "I" during her solo last year.

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

It feels like the girl group scene in the music industry is really starting to change dramatically this year.

…………

"Looking at the direction of this music source, hey Yigu, this song feels like it is really going to explode."

"Seventeen and Lovelyz can't do it. I feel like they can't beat "Cheer Up" at all. Is this song that good?"

"The first stage has not yet come out, and the advantages of the boy group have not been used yet... But Jingyuan is amazing. It is the first time he writes a song for a girl group and his results are so good? But to be honest, I really think this song is nothing. It’s so prominent, why is it so popular all of a sudden? Twice wasn’t very popular before.”

"Isn't it a useless song as promised?"

"Um……"

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.

Faced with the scene where several other members enthusiastically discussed Twice and "Cheer Up", especially when it came to the great contrast between the performance of this song and Ji Kyung-won, as well as the previous predictions of some people within SM, As one of the initiators, Chi Jingyuan could only hesitantly say yes, not knowing what to say.

He was actually quite surprised by the success of Twice, or the song "Cheer Up". He had seen before that they were so suitable for this style. Members like Lin Nayeon could make their vitality and cuteness stand out. At that time, he actually felt that their return this time would be good.

But he didn't expect it to explode like this... because the concept of digestion is the concept of digestion, but he actually has the same idea as Kim Jongdae. He really doesn't think this song is that good, it's just a more lively girl group song. Just a song.

Could it be that someone is leading the song?

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

Impossible. Twice, a newcomer who has just debuted for half a year, is wearing something like this. Even the cheering stick was only made the day before yesterday.

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

No matter what, the songs he wrote and produced, and the group he was a good friend of, were able to perform so well. Although it was a bit embarrassing that it was not in line with his expectations, he was actually quite happy despite being surprised.

EXO and others are experienced people, and they can all see that "cheer up" has already started to gain momentum in just three days. If there are no unexpected surprises in the future, Twice's comeback may really explode.

"Let's go, start recording "Missing"."

Just as he was thinking about it, his manager came over to urge people. Chi Jingyuan and others stopped chatting and stood up. They divided into several groups and followed them one after another to record "Missing", one of the double hits that returned this time.

Although the prelude song "fire" will be released in two weeks, everything that needs to be done with this song has been almost completed. Privately, they are still preparing the new album step by step as planned.

The song "Missing" is one of Chi Jingyuan's favorite songs in this third regular album. Although the style is very different, it is no less than the other hit song "Monster". This is a rare song that can be lyrical at the same time. and popular songs, it can be said that they are very suitable for EXO’s luxurious vocal configuration.

It is also because the company is worried that the style of EXO's transformation this time in order to be more in line with some European and American markets is too strong. It is all about explosive dance music, which will make some fans and passersby unaccustomed to it, resulting in poor performance of the music source, which affects the hard-earned development. The reputation of the music source is why this song was specifically mentioned as a double hit, which also proves that the company and Chi Jingyuan are optimistic about this song.

But today, I don’t know why, but Chi Jingyuan’s recording condition doesn’t seem to be very good. He occasionally makes some low-level mistakes during recording, and there are also many flaws in his emotional expression. As the producer of this song, he was also recorded After the engineer said a few words, the sound engineer actually suggested that he go back and adjust his condition and let others record first, while he would come back later.

Chi Jingyuan felt extremely helpless, and actually enjoyed Lin Nalian's treatment inexplicably.

After grinding for an hour, he came out of the recording studio without observing Baekhyun's recording work.

I returned to the practice room and exchanged a few perfunctory words with the others. I turned on my phone in a bad mood, and flipped through it and found the thank you text message I received the day before yesterday.

When "Cheer Up" debuted at No. 1 on the charts and achieved All Kill on the same day, he received private thank you messages from all the members of Twice at different times but at the same time.

It was both out of politeness and probably also because I really wanted to thank him.

"Oppa, did you see it? We got the number one spot on the music charts!"

"Thank you very much Oppa for writing this song for us."

"This is the first time I have won 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. It was in the same venue as our debut showcase, but so many people came today...hehe, the members are all saying thank you."

"Thank you, senior Jingyuan nim, Kang Sangmida."

Including Lin Nalian, who had barely spoken to him after exchanging contact information, there were text messages from everyone. Some people's tone was familiar, some were a bit unfamiliar, some were cheerful, and some were more reserved. .

But no matter what the tone was, he could feel the enthusiasm and sincerity in the hearts of these girls from between the lines... Although some actually used honorifics that looked a bit stiff.

After flipping it out, he read it again. For some reason, Chi Jingyuan's mood suddenly became much more relaxed. At this time, the noise next to him attracted his attention. When he looked sideways, he found that the members were still there. Discuss twice, but at this moment, under the provocation of several loyal viewers of "PRODUCE 101", the topic has become their official debut next week. It is clear that I.O.I, who is going to be popular, can kill Rabbit Gas who has a similar style, and their main focus Will the song be more popular than "cheer up"?

He pursed his lips and listened to a few words, 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, recalling some of the most impressive moments when he was choreographing Twice. After thinking about the action for a while, I walked to the window and found an extremely strange angle. I could only look at the hair and forehead. I took a selfie with the fiery red sky outside as the background, and then posted it:

"I keep making mistakes in recording, shy shy shy!"
