In the music of "Like OOH-AHH", after the tears and smiles of the nine members, Twice's last live broadcast before their debut is coming to an end. The nine people sincerely thanked the fans for their likes and support.
Their live broadcast on V APP for more than half an hour received a total of nearly one million love points.
In fact, it has only been two months since V APP was launched, and the number of users is still not very large. Today, hundreds of thousands or millions of likes are the norm. Many popular idols do surprise live broadcasts but no one watches them. The viewership of 1,000 is considered pretty good, and Twice, who just debuted, can achieve 1 million likes, which is already a very good figure for an idol group’s live broadcast.
From here, you can see how terrifying the number of likes measured in tens of millions for EXO's first live broadcast is, and the gap is a bit severe.
Finally, they announced their debut showcase this afternoon and then turned off the live broadcast.
When a new group from a big company debuts, as long as the company values it and the group has a certain popularity base, they will usually hold a debut showcase. As JYP's hope, Twice, who is naturally popular, will be no exception. I heard that the whole process will be held Live broadcast on V APP.
It's quite rare for a band like Red Velvet to not even have a showcase and receive perfunctory treatment for their digital single debut.
However, Chi Jingyuan was not interested in Twice's debut showcase, and he remembered hearing Zhou Ziyu mention that the parents and family members of their members would come to see them. Zhou Ziyu's mother came here again because of her daughter's debut.
It’s really hard work.
After the live broadcast, Chi Jingyuan took off his headphones and chatted with a few people who were still playing cards. After waiting for a while, he went to see the ranking of Zhou Ziyu's debut album on Melon.
Four songs from the album are on the list, and the title song "Like OOH-AHH" ranks 15th. It can be seen that the popularity brought by the previous "Sixteen" audition has been preserved a lot. The recent promotion of JYP has also been quite effective. This music source performance It's already great for newcomers.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being a large-scale girl group that debuted in a large company. Although JYP has looked like it is about to die in the past two years, it still has three nails to break the ship. Compared with those small companies, it still has some foundation and resources.
I just don’t know if this nine-member girl group can be JYP’s lifeline.
…………
"Jingyuan is here, sit down wherever you want."
Chi Jingyuan knocked on the door and walked into the lounge. When Kim Taeyeon's personal manager Jin Che saw it, he immediately stood up to say hello and pointed to the sofa next to him with a very warm smile.
Two days passed by in a flash and it was the morning of October 22nd. In order not to make fans regretful, I had already made an appointment to perform a song with Kim Taeyeon as a feat and collaborate on the stage of "I", so I went to the pool early in the morning. Yuan got up and came to Mnet with his assistant, "M! countdown" background.
As a feat, he naturally wanted to use Kim Taeyeon's lounge.
"..."
Facing Jin Che's enthusiasm, Chi Jingyuan also smiled and nodded in return. He sat down on the sofa and glanced to the right. He was sitting in front of the dressing table, motionless and inconvenient to talk. He let Cody carefully apply makeup on his face. Kim Taeyeon asked casually: "Is Taeyeon wearing makeup so early today?"
"Well, Taeyeon will have a solo announcement today, which is a small fan meeting for returning artists unique to "M!C", so I put on makeup in advance to prepare."
Kim Taeyeon couldn't speak, so Jin Che quickly explained on her behalf. At the same time, he took out a few bottles of purchased drinks from the bag, handed them to Cui Zhichang first, then sat down and handed them to Chi Jingyuan. At the same time, he sat down and confirmed with him the details of today's stage. matter.
They have actually communicated about this stage before. Although Chi Jingyuan is a feat, because the rap lyrics are deleted, there are only a few lines in total. If he goes up to sing for a few seconds and then comes down, not only will he not be able to perform Fans will definitely be dissatisfied with the role of 'cooperation', and fans on both sides will also feel regretful.
With the popularity of the album "I" after its release, today's Girls' Generation sones, especially Kim Taeyeon's only fans, and some Ariel have regarded Ji Kyungwon and Kim Taeyeon as a royal combination, not that They are not male and female CPs, but are recognized by everyone as the best siblings and relatives in the industry.
So according to the setting today, a set of drums will be put on the stage of "I" today. Chi Jingyuan will not leave the stage after singing the rap feat, but will sit in the back and play the drums, so that he can show more of his face. Let the fans enjoy watching it, and it will not steal the spotlight from Kim Taeyeon.
At the same time, it also fulfilled his idea that playing drums was cool and he had always wanted to try it on stage.
I communicated with Jin Che about today's work and chatted for about half an hour. Kim Taeyeon finished putting on her makeup. After saying a few words to Sister Cody, she walked over directly, sat down next to the sofa, and took some pictures. Patting Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder, after he turned around, his eyes were bright, and he looked reserved and waiting for praise: "How do you feel? Does Nu Na look good today?"
Not only has this girl finished her makeup, but she has also changed into her stage clothes. She has golden-gray wavy hair, a black one-piece skirt embellished with small white flowers, and black boots on her feet. She looks very handsome.
Compared with her, Chi Jingyuan, who was wearing an ordinary dark jacket and jeans, looked a bit ordinary.
"Okay."
Unfortunately, Chi Jingyuan had already taken out the game console from his bag and put on his black-rimmed glasses for gaming equipment. After glancing at the girl, he put on the headphones and lowered his head to continue the operation, but it seemed that Thinking of something, he raised his head and glanced again, and added: "Nuna's eyebrows are well drawn."
After speaking, he lowered his head again.
"Yeah..." Angry curses blurted out immediately. Kim Taeyeon gritted her teeth and glared at Chi Jingyuan, who was hit by the pain point, and slapped him hard, as if she felt that she was asking for trouble and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stood up and sat next to the table, picked up the oil-based pen and started to sign a bunch of albums on the table.
These are all gifts waiting to be given to fans.
But of course Kim Taeyeon wouldn't be really angry. They often made jokes like this. After a while, while signing the album, she took the initiative to chat with Chi Jingyuan through the air.
"What a coincidence. When I came to "M! countdown" last week, I shared the same lounge with red velvet...Irene and her girls' looks were really amazing that time. That little crotch braid was totally kiyo! What a pity. , you didn't see..." This sister obviously meant something.
How do you know I didn't see it?
"Then they are not going to be scared to death by the pressure of your senior..."
While Chi Jingyuan was playing the game, he cursed in his heart. He took off one earphone and wore only one side, stabilized the frame on the bridge of his nose, leaned lazily on the sofa, and joked with a smile: "Are you still filming? Are you going to do Nuna's solo variety show?"
SM attaches great importance to Kim Taeyeon's solo debut. In addition to providing sufficient resources for the album, there is also a supporting personal variety show "Daily Taeng9cam" and a solo concert "Taeyeon's Special Day".
This treatment is just for her, even if it were other girls' generation, it would be impossible for others to have such good resources.
"Bingo! Red Velvet is much cuter than you."
"It's normal for them to pretend to be cute in front of a senior like you..."
"qi~ Let's go out to eat together when we are free in two days. Would you like to call me Irene? Then I'll call you Yoona? HOHOHO, didn't you say you are a fan of Yoona, haha..."
The other managers and assistants in the lounge were sitting quietly in the corner. Kim Taeyeon, who was signing albums, and Chi Jingyuan, who was playing games, were chatting away. Because they were familiar with each other, they could tease each other at will. So someone's bold laughter often appears.
After talking for a while, Kim Taeyeon seemed to feel a little quiet, looked around, and then picked up her mobile phone: "Let's play a song and listen..."
"She stayed away from me."
"I'm helpless."
As she operated, the music "IF you" was played from the mobile phone and echoed in the lounge. Chi Jingyuan glanced at her in surprise when he heard the sound source.
I thought I would play "I" or "U R".
"If you~~if you~~ I like your song so much." Kim Taeyeon hummed along with the music, and she felt a little emotional as she sang: "I have an urge to sing on stage, do you? Do you want to set up a collaboration stage or something?”
"Okay, let's just talk to the company about the next round of SM TOWN. It's a small matter..." Chi Jingyuan responded casually without raising his head.
It's really a small thing to them.
"Also, I've always been curious. With your personality and experience, how could you write such a tragic and profound lovelorn song..."
"Dong dong dong..."
Just when Kim Taeyeon asked questions curiously and Chi Jingyuan had not yet spoken, the door of the lounge was suddenly knocked. The dull knock on the door interrupted the chat between the two of them abruptly. The assistant next to the door quickly stood up and opened the door, and then a shadowy figure appeared at the door. Then, under the leadership of the first person standing, a group of people walked in with half-hunched bodies, and soon a group of people walked in. A row of girls in different clothes came in and stood in a row respectfully, with their heads slightly lowered.
Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of team leader Park Jihyo, a group of people uniformly saluted Kim Taeyeon:
"Senior Anihasay, we are a newly debuted girl group..."
"Twice!"
After bowing and standing up, many people looked at the senior Kim Taeyeon in the lounge in front of them with shining eyes, as well as Chi Jingyuan who was not aware that he would also appear here.
Having just debuted, I came to a strange environment and greeted strange seniors. Many of them were actually quite nervous, and their hearts were beating fast before they came.
After knocking on the door and walking in, many people were surprised to find that besides Kim Taeyeon, there was someone else in the room.
For example, Zhou Ziyu, Mingjing Nan and others' eyes lit up in surprise. After saluting, they couldn't help but secretly look at the man who was sitting lazily on the sofa at this time, wearing black-rimmed glasses and Headphones, and the figure holding a game console in his hand.
"Hey Yigu..."
Kim Taeyeon seemed frightened by the neat and loud salute. She stood up from her original seat and walked over. As she spoke, she nodded and smiled in return: "You are very impressive. Did you just debut today?"
She understood what was going on as soon as the person came in. It was the most natural thing for a newcomer to visit their seniors after debuting. Kim Taeyeon, who debuted for eight years, is the star of today's "M!" C》The second oldest senior among all the guests, the one older than her is SJ’s Kyuhyun.
As soon as the door opened, Chi Jingyuan knew who was coming when he saw Park Jihyo at the head. He put the game console next to him, sat up from the sofa and took off the earphones in his left ear, his expression unchanged. She was relatively calm, but she looked at the nine girls in front of her with interest, and at the same time, she sharply caught several eyes looking at her.
Seeing the nine Twice people, Jing Nan, Zhou Ziyu, and Lin Nalian, who had already changed into singing uniforms, standing in front of him and bowing, he honestly had a strange feeling.
A kind of surprise and a sense of substance that a friend I know also made his debut.
"Ani, we will debut on the 20th, and today is the first recording stage." As the leader, Park Jihyo seems to be mainly responsible for communication. Her face with dyed red hair looks particularly round under the light.
"Oh, Twice, I know you."
When faced with the visits of new juniors from other companies, Kim Taeyeon was not as casual as when she was with Chi Kyung-won. She had a little airs and acted like a senior, and she nodded her head clearly when she heard the words.
As she said that, she looked back at Chi Jingyuan: "Is that the new girl group you mentioned before, the one you were a judge for?"
"Um."
Chi Jingyuan retracted his gaze from Mingjing Nan, nodded and responded softly.
After debuting, they changed into stage clothes. The style and appearance of several members of Twice changed a lot from what he remembered. At this time, their whole spirit was obviously different. Najing Minami, a member of Twice, changed into stage clothes. The combination of navel-baring long sleeves, pleated skirt and mesh black silk is really eye-catching.
Another person who has changed a lot is Saka Minatozaki. He remembers that this girl was round and a little fat when she was a "sixteen", but now she has a very standard figure, and her long hair dyed in smoky gray is quite beautiful. .
In comparison, Zhou Ziyu's body is relatively ordinary.
What makes people a little speechless is that three out of nine people have red hair. JYP’s Cody likes this color so much...
"You must know him, right?"
After getting Chi Jingyuan's reply, Kim Taeyeon turned her head and looked at twice.
"Of course, EXO's Yuan senior served as a judge for us during "Sixteen". Senior..." Park Jihyo smiled brightly, making people look very friendly. As she spoke, she waved to Chi Kyungwon He waved his hand.
Chi Jingyuan also laughed and waved his hand, and Park Jihyo smiled even brighter when he received the response.
He didn't say much after Twice came in. They came to visit Kim Taeyeon, so it would be nice for the protagonist to receive them. Moreover, Twice's manager was also with him, so it was hard to say anything else.
"We have talked about you before..."
Watching the interaction between the two, Kim Taeyeon's smile became a little more friendly, and then she glanced around everyone's face and praised: "As expected of a member of JYP's girl group, everyone is very excited... …”
"The seniors are the most beautiful. The MV for "I" is really beautiful." Lin Nayeon showed her rabbit teeth and looked at Kim Taeyeon with some longing.
"Hahaha..." Being so admired by the newcomers, this sister couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She looked at Lin Nalian and asked happily: "What's your name?"
"Taeyeon sunbae, I am Nayeon from Twice."
"Nayeon, kiyo!"
The atmosphere became more relaxed.
"Taeyeon sunbae, and Yuan sunbae, this is our debut album, please accept it." Park Ji Hyo took out two albums and handed them over with a bow, while Kim Taeyeon took them and turned around and handed one to Ji Kyung Won, At the same time, he took the album next to him that his manager also brought over at the right time, and gave the other person the same gift in return: "Kang Sangmita, I will definitely listen to it...this is my album."
Chi Jingyuan held Twice's debut album, the mini album, looked at the title and pictorial, and then looked at the nine girls in front of him, feeling quite magical in comparison.
After exchanging the albums, the arrangement was completed. The nine girls from Twice bowed again. Several members glanced at Chi Jingyuan inadvertently, then walked out and closed the door.
With a muffled sound, the lounge that had just seemed lively and even a little crowded instantly became quiet.
"Twice..."
Kim Taeyeon walked back to her seat, looking at the album in her hand, and finally exclaimed: "This group looks pretty good, the one named Nayeon is very cute..."
Just after sitting down, the sister seemed to have remembered something. She turned to look at Chi Jingyuan with strange eyes, "Hey, Jingyuan, are you familiar with some of their members? Why do I feel..."
"shock…"
Before she could finish her words, at this moment, the mobile phone in Chi Jingyuan's pocket suddenly rang, interrupting Kim Taeyeon's voice. Chi Jingyuan also took out his mobile phone. He looked at the caller and was a little surprised. He put his index finger in front of his lips and made a silent gesture. After the surrounding quieted down, he answered the call:
"PD Won Seok?"
"Haha, of course..."
"There are currently no, you said... roles in the new drama?"
"Tonight, okay, no problem."
