Peninsula Asteroid

"I'm like TT~~"

“Just like TT~~”

"..."

Some familiar music lingered in my ears, but as the speed of the car gradually increased, the subsequent melody was soon left far behind and could not be heard clearly.

But Chi Jingyuan also immediately recognized that this was Twice's new song. First, he instantly recognized the voices of Lin Nayeon, and second, he had heard the demo of this song sent to him by Park Jin Young before...

Twice is back?

Chi Jingyuan reacted immediately and took out his phone to check the time. It was October 24th. I remember hearing that Mingjing Nan and the others said that Twice had planned to hold a comeback showcase today and release a new album at the same time.

Well.

Chi Jingyuan patted his head lightly. He had been too immersed in filming in Canada these days, and the jet lag from flying back and forth made him so dizzy that he was now a little insensitive to time.

I immediately opened YouTube and searched for Twice, and sure enough, the MV for the new title song "TT" appeared immediately. Judging from the time, it was just released not long ago... The manager of the store just now was probably a Twice fan. I immediately put it in the store.

Chi Jingyuan took out his headphones and put them on, clicked on the MV, and started playing after buffering for a while.

"You can't do this, you can't do that."

"I can only watch~~ba ba ba baby~"

Apart from the two children playing tricks on each other, the opening of the MV is quite interesting. The entire team disperses in sequence and the opening design allows you to see the outfits and makeup of all the members at the first glance.

At first glance, everyone's clothes look pretty good, and their makeup is obviously much more pleasing to the eye. It brings out the members' strengths and is a step forward compared to "Cheer Up" in the first half of the year.

Lin Nalian, who sang the first line at the beginning, has a very distinctive voice... She really suits this style of pretending to be cute.

Then he saw Nai Minami who appeared and gave him a surprise. The hairstyle in the MV was the one in the photo Nai Minami had sent her before, but this blue and white sweater and the white skirt of the pirate captain The styling made Chi Jingyuan's eyes light up slightly.

He knew that if the idol needed it, he could collect the clothes worn on stage or in the MV, and let her wear them next time she was free...

"Tsk tsk, Halloween style."

The members including Zhou Ziyu and Minatozaki Saka at the back all look very comfortable. Zhou Ziyu’s black dress is also stunning. Chi Jingyuan really feels that JYP seems to have changed a batch of cody.

But as soon as the Qi Wu came out, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Sure enough, it’s radio gymnastics…

Boring.

He has listened to the demo of the song a long time ago, but now he has a completely new feeling when listening to the singing version of Mingjing Nan and the others. Although there are several people in Twice who cannot be said to be good singers, their voices are really good. It is very distinctive.

The MV was also shot very well, the Halloween theme is very novel, and the outfits are also very suitable... The important thing is that Nai Minami is really good-looking in it. Thinking of the date a few days ago, Chi Jingyuan was so excited after watching it. Somewhat itchy.

However, there is a melody at the end of the MV that is obviously from another song. I don’t know what JYP is up to.

"Brother, is there any interesting news in the music industry recently?"

After watching the MV and admiring the beautiful faces of his little girlfriend and several female idols, Chi Jingyuan felt that he was in a much better mood. He browsed through the comments below and casually asked Cui Zhichang, the driving assistant: "There should be a lot of people coming back these days. Is there any new trend?"

I haven't paid attention to the news here for a few days, and I was really confused for a while.

"Jingyuan, you also know what's happening on the peninsula recently. There was a parade at Guanghuamen two days ago. People in the circle have been pretty low-key lately."

Cui Zhichang, who was driving the car, smiled bitterly and his tone was helpless.

Recent political events on the peninsula have gradually affected all walks of life, and the entertainment industry has also been heavily implicated.

He thought for a while and then added seriously: "However, there are indeed quite a few artists who have returned recently, but if you want to talk about the general trend, it must be IOI."

"IOI?"

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and looked over.

"Yes, didn't they come back last week? Jingyuan, you may not have paid attention these days. IOI's results this time were surprisingly good. On the first day of release, all songs entered the charts, and the title song directly landed at the top of the list. The next day We achieved PAK by taking the top spot on the daily charts.”

Cui Zhichang, just like IOI fans, was very impressed with IOI's results in the first week of their comeback. He couldn't help but sing: "I quite like the title song "Naomu Naomu Naomu", Naomu Make trouble with wood, make trouble with wood, make trouble with wood..."

"so smart?"

Chi Jingyuan knew that his assistant liked IOI, a national girl group. He had often heard him talk about related things before the group was drafted, so the excitement in his mouth was not surprising... But he was really I'm a little surprised by the results of IOI's return this time.

The achievement of a comeback title song "Kong Yi" requires a lot of popularity and national recognition. If you are not a popular group or a hit song, don't even think about it. From 2016 to now, only Twice's "Cheer Up" has achieved this, and there is also some popularity associated with Chi Jingyuan as a producer, and IOI has become the second one this time.

As for PAK, it is even more amazing...

"Yes, the sound source is so explosive... Also, in the first week of the comeback, "Nao Mu Nao Mu Nao Mu" won the first place in Melon's weekly chart. Wow, this national recognition."

Choi Ji-chang nodded as a matter of course, and then remembered something and added: "By the way, the sales are also very good, almost 30,000 in the first week."

"First place in the weekly chart? So amazing?"

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but repeat it again, his tone was quite surprised.

It's not that he has never seen the world, but because this result is really amazing, whether it's the sound source or the sales... Although there may be a lot of gaps with EXO, it is already the top data among girl groups.

With a surprised mood, Chi Jingyuan thought for a while: "I remember they seem to be a limited group, right?"

"Yeah..."

Hearing this, Cui Zhichang's enthusiasm immediately subsided a lot, sighed and nodded: "This is the last time IOI has returned as a group since its formation. It is estimated that it will disband soon after this. There is another factor for its popularity."

Tsk tsk...

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan was also a little worried about his girlfriend.

IOI and Twice released songs one week apart, which can be said to be a complete collision.

This is not the first time. IOI debuted in the first half of the year and collided with "Cheer Up". This time it happened again. Even if it was not deliberately arranged, as a girl group, they are all competitors, and the members of each group will definitely have their own little thoughts.

As a result, IOI is now doing so well, and it also has a killer weapon like "disbandment BUFF". Twice must be under a lot of pressure in the future. If "TT" fails, I don’t know how ugly Lin Nayeon’s face will be.

Chi Jingyuan knew that "Nao Mu Nao Mu Nao Mu" was originally Twice's main song. When they had already started choreographing, it was suddenly given to IOI as the main song for various reasons, and Twice later changed to "TT". Under such a dramatic episode, if "TT" lost badly, the gap and resentment in the hearts of Twice members would definitely double.

It's no longer something that can be solved by crying.

Chi Jingyuan certainly felt sorry for his girlfriend, as well as Zhou Ziyu and the others. He hoped that they would do better and develop better. He was on Twice's side... But for some reason, he really wanted to see that scene...

Some people would be ugly when they cry...

After brainstorming with interest, Chi Jingyuan looked at the comments under the "TT" MV and asked casually, "Brother, how about Twice? Have you heard their new song?"

"Twice is back?"

Choi Jichang was stunned for a moment, then recalled and said indifferently, "Oh, I saw the trailer a few days ago. Did they release the song today... But now IOI is the trend, Twice probably won't have the same luck as last time... Last time, I think it was mainly because of you, Jingyuan."

Park Jae-hyun, who was in the co-pilot seat, looked at him strangely, then glanced back at Chi Jingyuan, holding back a smile and not saying anything.

"Uh..."

Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and didn't comment.

There is nothing to say about this kind of fan mentality, people who have a biased stance... But IOI's performance is indeed amazing, and he has no confidence to speak to Mingjing Nan and others.

After reading the comments, he opened the address book. There are several friends he is familiar with in Twice, such as Yu Jeongyeon, Minatozaki Sana, Kim Dahyun, etc. They have returned, so it is necessary to send a text message to congratulate them.

And he also needs to tell Mingjing Nan that he is back... This has been agreed before.

But after thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan felt that the members of Tuwas should be gathered together at this time, eagerly waiting for the title song sound source performance to be refreshed, and it is not appropriate to send a text message at this time.

After a short thought, he sent a text message to Mingjing Nan.

As a result, the next second, the reply came:

"Yuan-chan, you are back~"

It is estimated that Mingjing Nan happened to be browsing her phone at this time, and she replied immediately, and the few words contained a strong sense of joy.

"Well, I just got off the plane and am on my way home. I was half asleep for more than ten hours on the way. I am so tired."

"Yuan-chan who is afraid of heights is so cute... Go back and rest early to adjust to the time difference."

"Well, I have nothing to do today. I will go back and sleep... By the way, congratulations on your comeback (fireworks)"

"(Penguin blushes) Have you watched our MV?"

"I just watched it. It's okay. The main thing is that some of the members in it are really eye-catching, which adds a lot of color to the whole MV"

"Who is it?"

"Let me think... Myoi Mina"

"Hahaha, why do you say that, but everyone is very beautiful... Well, maybe they are a little bit good-looking, (snickering)"

"Mina xi, don't you believe my taste?"

"Yeah~ I do."

"That's right, by the way, what does the melody at the end of your MV mean? Is it another song?"

"Well, PD said it should be the song for our next comeback, so it's a little easter egg."

"..."

We just had an intimate relationship, and we haven't seen each other for a few days, which is when the love affair is hot, and everyone responds to every word in seconds.

Just as he was talking, Mingjing Nan suddenly stopped, as if he encountered something.

After two minutes, Chi Jingyuan received another message from Mingjing Nan:

"Oh, the sound source over there has been airborne!"

Seeing what she said, Chi Jingyuan, who was also very concerned about Mingjing Nan's results this time, immediately boarded Melon. As soon as he entered, he saw the very eye-catching name in the first row at the top.

"TT"——Twice

…………

Just a few days ago, IOI surprised the peninsula music industry with its explosive performance. People were amazed by the popularity and momentum of the national girl group. It was so popular that some people even gave them the title of "big devil".

As a result, in less than a week, the returning Twice refreshed everyone's horizons with "TT", making people know what it means to be taller than a mountain.

Following IOI's "Nowood, Nooooooooooo", "TT" became the third song among all girl groups this year to debut at the top of the music charts.

In terms of sales, after the song was released on the 24th, it took only three days to sell more than 75,000 copies, breaking the first-week sales record of a girl group set by Girls' Generation in 2011 and still maintained to this day.

At the same time, it only took three days for Twice’s third mini-album to leapfrog past the veteran solo masters such as Kim Taeyeon, Jung Soo-yeon, and Huang Miying who returned this year, and it became the second-best-selling physical album of the girl group in 2016... Ranking number one is their second mini album.

YouTube is even more exaggerated. On the first day, the number of views on the MV exceeded 7 million, and the number of views increased by more than 1.5 million every day thereafter, breaking the record set by "cheer up" and raising it to a higher level.

Data from all aspects go hand in hand. Twice's momentum is so hot that it's almost scary. Even though they haven't had a stage so far except for returning to showcases, they have still become the latest trend in the entire music industry, and it is still the biggest one.

The 'Big Demon King' who was just named seems to be changing again.

The biggest evidence is that Chi Jingyuan feels that Cui Zhichang has been a little unhappy these past two days. He will frown from time to time when he is free, and he is obviously in a low mood.

Chi Jingyuan burst into laughter when he saw it.

However, although IOI's performance was instantly suppressed, its popularity did not drop significantly. It was barely able to compete with Twice, who had just returned for three days.

Although it seems to have surpassed IOI for the time being, Twice has no time to be complacent. In the next two weeks, several popular A-list groups announced their comebacks, including Kim Taeyeon, EXO Squad, Blackpink, etc. Although the explosion of "TT" was good , but being caught in the middle by so many combinations, it is difficult to predict how it will develop in the future.

This kind of competition is exciting, and the music industry is about to become lively.

…

"Twice has really become a trend this time."

It has been three days since Twice returned on the 24th. The various popularity and data have surprised people in the industry, including Wu Shixun, who is looking at something on his mobile phone and sighing in amazement.

Today is the 27th. Chi Jingyuan has just returned to the company from a meeting with the advertising agency. At this time, he and Wu Shixun are sitting in the coffee shop on the first floor of the company.

"The outbreak is really amazing." Chi Jingyuan nodded after hearing this. On the way back, he heard "TT" playing in several stores, almost every other time, without stopping.

This best shows nationality and popularity.

Even Chi Jingyuan changed his cell phone ringtone to "TT" in order to express his support for his girlfriend and friends... although he felt that the song was a bit too cute and not in line with his mature temperament.

"But by the way, you have really good eyesight..."

After taking a sip of coffee, Wu Shixun suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a strange look: "Your new girlfriend is really pretty, and she is getting more and more outstanding."

He had obviously seen the "TT" MV and some pictorials, and was a little surprised by the appearance and temperament that Najing Minami showed now.

"Hmm~"

Chi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and chuckled but said nothing. He was a little disdainful to discuss this aspect with him.

There was a time when she was even more beautiful...but only I could see it.

"By the way, what did the company say?" After chatting for a while, Wu Shixun looked more serious and asked the topic.

"There was a small problem. The release of advertisements and audio sources has been postponed for three days...that is, tomorrow night. Related plans including press conferences are also postponed, and other things remain unchanged."

Chi Jingyuan bit the straw of the orange juice but did not drink it. He shrugged and told him the result he had just learned.

This was the main thing when he came back from the set today. Mercedes seemed to have some problems with the advertising production and release, which caused the advertising song "really really" that was originally scheduled to be released on the 25th to be unable to be released on time. Push back a few days.

The sudden change somewhat disrupted Chi Jingyuan's previous schedule... But it's not a big problem. He got so much money, so he still has to cooperate with others' work.

"Is that so..." Wu Se-hun nodded, and didn't treat it as a big deal. Instead, he said in agreement: "The company's subway song project is all released on Friday. It was originally quite strange to release it on Tuesday, the 25th, and now it's just right to change it to the 28th."

"But..."

He seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at Chi Jingyuan with a strange expression:

"Twice is so popular now..."

"We are just a subway song... We won't be knocked away directly, right?"
