Xie Qianyu gained more from a variety show debut than he imagined. He didn't have anything to perform or create, because he believed that a persona without a persona is the best persona.
This may be a bit hard to say, but in fact, just look at Yang Mi, Huang Bo, and even little Zhang Wei in the previous life and you will know:
If you don’t create artificial gods, you will never fall from the altar, and if you don’t deliberately create a persona, you won’t be attacked by others.
As his and T-ara's popularity rises, the album "Temptastic" has also received more and more attention, where Xie Qianyu also has a battlefield called "Songs".
On November 7, "Running Man" announced the news of Xie Qianyu's upcoming appearance. In order to catch up with Xie Qianyu's first appearance in a variety show, the audience expressed their expectations.
On November 9, T-ara's first mini album "Temptastic" released two hits at the same time. "I'm the Most Popular" released the sound source and "Yayaya" released two versions of the MV.
Since it was Xie Qianyu's first MV, both fans and fans clicked to watch it. In just one day, it broke the record for the fastest MV views on YouTube to reach one million and 10 million views.
On November 10th, another music source featuring "I'm the Most Popular" completed a single-day all-kill on nine major music sources, and Xie Qianyu's reputation as a "music genius" was further enhanced.
On November 12, "Temptastic", which had been preheated for three days, was finally released in major video stores. QS officially gave the concept of "one first edition", which indicates that subsequent editions will not carry gold labels.
At the same time, a dark girl crush style version featuring "My Most Red" and a psychedelic color version featuring "Egotistic" will be released simultaneously. But this did not dampen the enthusiasm of fans at all. Instead, they rushed to buy the "White Angel Edition" that was close to the cover of "Yayaya" in the previous life, hoping to collect the first releases of the three major editions.
On November 13th, T-ara's new drama "T-ara's Flower Boys" debuted on SBS 2. Xie Qianyu guest-starred as manager, which attracted attention and broke the ratings of idol dramas in one fell swoop. It also gave T-ara Attracted a wave of passerby fans.
On November 14, the first printing of 10,000 copies of "Temptastic" was announced to be sold out, and CJ Group announced the deadline for entries to participate in the MAMA Festival. It also announced that the Asia-Pacific Promotion Ambassador is Xie Qianyu and the time and place of the event, "Running Man" at 5 p.m. was broadcast, and the ratings broke the record since the launch.
Xie Qianyu's second move shocked the Korean music industry, or to be precise, the entire Korean entertainment industry.
The success of "Temptastic" this time is obviously due to the right time, location, people and people:
The so-called timing is that he avoided Girls' Generation's "Hoot". People in the country can never change their love for the new and dislike the old. Even for the future empress, the popularity of the album will weaken more than half a month after its release.
But what Xie Qianyu didn't know was that his retaliate caught Lee Soo Man and Kim Young Min off guard, and he made a mistake when there were deviations in SNSD's publicity handling.
The location is very simple. He spent a huge sum of money to invite experts from all over the world. It is not in vain. Even if the investment in production is low, the return rate will be seen.
Man and nature were T-ara’s own efforts in that training month and the cooperation of his super popular presence, which laid the foundation for success in one fell swoop.
----------------------------------------
At this moment, at least 80% of the people in SM Company are paying attention to this shock. The only ones who are not watching are probably the uncles and aunts sweeping the floor.
"It's scary, this young man..."
Lee Soo Man, who was flipping through the entertainment newspaper, sighed. He just found it funny when he saw that some people were predicting that T-ara would not be able to digest these songs on stage. Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he could tell this girl from the MV. The temperament of the regiment is no longer what it used to be.
Aoru Kim Young-min could only put aside her previous disdain and began to re-examine the company QS. She couldn't help but ask Lee Soo-man for help: "What should I do now? Can SNSD go to play music next week?"
Li Xiuman put down the newspaper and glanced at him, feeling inexplicably grateful to Xie Qianyu for stirring up the storm. After all, this person had rarely been so humble before.
"What else can we do? The funds for the stage decoration are all ready. Let's fight for another week. No matter how cruel the 'messenger' Xie Qianyu is, he is just a 'messenger'. How many 'Citrines' can vote for the T-ara stage is still a question mark. .”
"The album sales of "Hoot" aren't bad either. Do you think "Temptastic" can overtake SNSD just by relying on its sound source?"
Jin Yingmin nodded in agreement. Although he felt a little uncomfortable bowing his head to Lee Soo Man, he thought that SHINee would not be having an easy time recently, so he comforted himself with the spirit of Ah Q.
In Girls' Generation's practice room downstairs, the girls who were practicing for T-ara's latest MV were a little discouraged. The impact of the three completely different styles brought by the three MVs was really too great for them.
"How did they become so strong? Can the three conflicting styles really be controlled in one album?" Xiaolu Lin Yoona also had to admire T-ara's rapid progress. It feels like they have changed a group. .
"Obviously before, I felt that only So Yeon and Eun Jung were stronger, but now it really feels like... everyone is blossoming..." Jung Soo Jung hugged Kwon Yoo Ri and found that the other party was still looking at the TV screen in rapt attention, and couldn't help it. He shook her.
"I think Ji-yeon's dancing skills have almost caught up with our Yuri's, don't you think?" Finding that Kwon Yoo-ri was still letting go like her, Jung Soo-yeon felt bad in her heart.
Walking towards the door of the practice room, Jessica pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Oh Mo. Gan Yuxi, why are you in SM!"
Hearing Xie Qianyu's name, Quan Youli subconsciously glanced in the direction of the door, only to find that only Jessica was holding up her phone and looking at her with a smirk.
Kwon Yuri, who realized that she was being fished, rarely showed her feminine side, rushed to Jessica and patted her shyly: "Unnie~"
"Hey, our General Quan is also feeling springy? It seems that since that day, he has been absent from filming "Running Man" more times than me."
Seeing the commotion at the front door, the other members gathered around and started discussing.
"It's true, you stepped on my foot yesterday!"
"Well...it doesn't feel very good to not be busy grabbing food..."
"I didn't expect that Xie Qianyu is not only good at writing songs, but also good at flirting with girls..."
"Come on Unnie, there are still more than three years of dating ban..."
"Onion, Onioni, I have a copy signed by Gan Yuxi. If you want, hey..."
Kwon Yoo Ri was about to explode due to the quarrel between her sisters, but Xu Xian came to her rescue. She looked at the maknae strangely and asked, "Joohyun, Xie Qianyu doesn't seem to show up very often, right?" Can you actually get his autographed book?"
Seeing that the sisters who had been "besieging" Kwon Yuri suddenly turned to him, Xu Xian realized something was wrong and hid two steps back like a little rabbit.
Faced with the sisters' questioning, the honest maknae still chose to confess: "I only have two copies in total. One was when it was released in the United States. I grabbed the first fifty copies, which had a golden signature on the cover. Also I met him in his fan group and he sent me a copy..."
The sisters didn't expect that the maknae, who usually seemed the most obedient, would be so crazy about chasing stars, and they were immediately amazed.
"Don't tell me that the package was sent to the dormitory!" Lin Yuner became nervous instantly, "Then he knows where our dormitory is!"
"Hey, Oni, I use my screen name online so he won't know that I'm from SNSD."
Even Lin Yoona couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth: Anyone who knows your online name would know it's you...
Xu Xian, who was unintentionally attracted by Quan Yuli's misfortune, certainly refused to let him go easily: "Yuri Ouni, we have dealt with you and Xie Qianyu, tell us what kind of person he is? Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
As soon as these words came out, the entire Girls' Generation pointed their arrows at Kwon Yuri again, saying that it was impossible for them not to be curious: They were originally angry with Qianyu for stealing one of them one by one, but now that his teammates went out to record a variety show with him, it was a little bit... With no status at all, he naturally became more curious.
For some reason, Quan Yuli didn't want to say it. She felt like she couldn't see through that person either.
"Okay, okay, it's time for dinner. Let's eat together. Let's talk while we eat." Team leader Kim Taeyeon, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
"Besides, what are you afraid of him doing? He's not a god who can push T-ara to the point of kicking us down. After all..."
"Now is Girls' Generation, and from now on it will be Girls' Generation, and it will always be Girls' Generation!"
----------------------------------------
While the discussion about Xie Qianyu and T-ara was in full swing outside, inside the CCM company, these few people were still keeping their feet resting comfortably.
Lying comfortably on the recliner, with the T-ara version of "I'm the Most Popular" that he has listened to hundreds of times from demo to recording to finished product playing in his headphones, Xie Qianyu enjoyed his first adaptation of a work for others. , I am still very happy:
Park So-yeon is really a treasure. I thought she couldn't handle this kind of song...
The queen, Park So-yeon, who was underestimated by Xie Qianyu, is currently sleeping with Quan Baolan in her arms. In addition to practicing to maintain their condition every day, Xie Qianyu gives them a rest to recharge their batteries and prepare for the official singing competition.
Park Ji-yeon, who was the most energetic, couldn't help it. She was so tired and paralyzed by Pei Yunjing's training in the past two days, but now her skin became itchy when she was free.
"Agassi...when are we going to play songs..."
Xie Qianyu was not angry after being shaken awake. He rubbed his little head squatting next to him and said comfortingly: "It's coming soon. I'll let you go play songs in two days. Just wait."
Xie Qianyu is waiting: for an opportunity, for sone's madness to pass a little bit, and for a prop that will make T-ara's scene go further.
And in a dark small room, seven or eight screens were on at the same time. If you look closely, they were all the music videos of five songs that T-ara had just released, and a humanoid creature's eyes exuded greedy light... .
----------------------------------------
Xie Ganyu did not lie to Park Jiyeon. On the morning of Thursday, November 18th, he really brought T-ara to M! Countdown, a subsidiary of the CJ Group's Mnet TV station, to prepare for a singing competition.
Xie Qianyu was yawning the whole time he was driving. He was not willing to invite T-ara to sing.
Why?
Because he was too tired.
After he released the song "Appear and Leave", the leaders of major TV stations almost asked him to play songs. It can be said that he recorded as he went. After recording, he went directly back to the lounge to wait for the next one to be released. Just sing an encore with a nice face and that's it.
Later on, everyone seemed to be used to him taking the first place when playing songs, and directly put the order of his recording at the end. With his strong professional ability, there was no need to rehearse or re-record.
In addition, as the president of QS, no artist dares to let him visit unless the president of their own company is with them. And how many entertainment company presidents can make their debut with as much leisure as Xie Qianyu?
There was no need to visit, and there seemed to be no younger generation than him, so Xie Qianyu was naturally happy to sleep leisurely in the lounge.
So although he looks busy during the singing period, he is actually quite comfortable.
But switching to T-ara is completely different: you have to go to the dressing room of the beauty salon, the stage has to be rehearsed at least once or twice and then re-recorded, and the recording time cannot be started at any time. In addition, I also have to go visit and say hello to my seniors...
Things were piled up one after another, and Li Wangyue was definitely too lazy to get up so early. Xie Qianyu, who couldn't let go, could only continue to be the driver himself, and he had another reason to come today...
After styling T-ara from a beauty salon owned by Ni Haoen, Xie Qianyu took T-ara to the TV station. The singing stage seemed to be decorated with something, and several girls were sitting neatly in the hall below. A row.
T-ara went backstage to change clothes. CJ was indeed her mother and had prepared a medium to large waiting room for the new girl group. How much of it was for Xie Qianyu's sake is unknown.
Xie Qianyu returned to the scene. There were technicians on the stage installing equipment on mobile stands, and there were people in the auditorium below adjusting devices like cameras.
All of this is actually the prop that Xie Qianyu has been waiting for. He just arrived in South Korea from the Incheon pier last night, which means that Mnet, owned by CJ, can allow him to arrange for people to mess around here early in the morning.
The device on the stage is a playback device that can achieve naked-eye 3D holographic projection. Even if this thing is placed on the street ten years later, it will still be a novelty. It was only just affordable for the 2008 presidential election in the United States. .
Under the promotion of Xie Qianyu, this technology was matured in advance, and it was shown in the Huaguo Pavilion at the 2010 Huaguo World Expo.
There is no need to mention the development cost of this set of things. Xie Qianyu started investing with the resources of LG Group in 2002. I don’t know how much he invested in it for more than eight years. It was just the filming and placement of this set of things on and off the stage in front of him. The equipment costs millions of dollars to make.
And today is also its first appearance in South Korea, and it's just for a girl group's comeback show...
While Xie Qianyu was observing the construction process of the professionals, the four girls sitting under the stage walked over obediently.
"Ah you oh Hasayyo..."
"Senior Ganyu..."
He came back to his senses when he heard someone calling him Xie Qianyu. Just now, he was thinking about what it would be like when T-ara performed "Yayaya" on the holographic projection stage, but he didn't even respond to someone saying hello to him.
"Hello, hello, I'm Xie Qianyu..."
I quickly looked at the four girls in front of me. Well, they have good figures... Their faces don't seem very familiar. Maybe they are from a girl group that is about to disappear as soon as they debut. Hey...
After taking a look at Li Wangyue last time, he was discovered, which made him pick up his habit of quickly identifying beautiful women. He only dared to scan it quickly and then looked away. However, he had not slept all night and his mind was a little mushy now. I really don’t remember whether I have seen this girl group in my previous life.
But what did they just call themselves...?
"You call me senior? Are you here to sing for your debut song?"
A beautiful girl with bulging eyes seemed to be the team leader. As a representative, she answered Xie Qianyu’s question: “Senior Angde, nim, our members all like your songs, so we know that you have already released a single and debuted in China, so we shouted Seniors should do it.”
Xie Qianyu nodded, which surprised him. After all, there were probably not more people in South Korea who knew that he had debuted than in China, so he was really considered a big fan.
"Thank you for your likes! Why are you here so early? There aren't many groups that want to play songs today, right?"
Just kidding, seeing how T-ara is coming and the turmoil of Girls' Generation's "Hoot" hasn't passed yet, no one in the small group who wants to make a breakthrough will choose to sing at this time, because they are afraid that there won't even be a candidate.
"Hey, we came in advance to prepare for rehearsal. Mnet gave us about twenty minutes, but we were worried that it wouldn't be enough."
The girl with narrow eyes pinched her fingers as she spoke, making her movements look a little uneasy. The senior opposite her kept looking at the workers on the stage, wondering what she was thinking.
If the bunch of science and engineering students who graduated from Ivy League universities on the stage knew that they were regarded as maintenance workers by their idols, I wonder if they would be so angry that they would tear up their degree certificates.
Touching his nose in embarrassment, Xie Qianyu realized that it was the "construction team" he invited that ruined other people's rehearsal plans. These girls were waiting here in stage clothes early in the winter, probably because they were afraid Being robbed by others will waste valuable time.
"Ahem, they've probably finished that thing soon. Why don't you go back to the waiting room first? I'll call you when it's finished here."
"Well..." After hearing Xie Qianyu's words, several girls lowered their heads, a little embarrassed, "Well, we don't have a waiting room..."
Although Xie Qianyu was a little surprised when he heard this, he was not heartbroken and shed tears. It was not uncommon for groups from small companies to encounter this kind of situation. After thinking about it, he had delayed a few of the girls, so he decided to help.
"Well, then you guys come with me. We have a good relationship with President Li Meijing of CJ. CJ can be considered half of my boss. I'll take you to a waiting room."
Just as the girls were about to refuse, Xie Qianyu added: "You are not allowed to refuse. This is the request of the seniors."
Having said that, the four girls had no choice but to follow Xie Qianyu to a small waiting room, which was just big enough to accommodate the four of them and the few accompanying people.
After making a phone call to an on-site person in charge whom he knew, Xie Qianyu returned to the recording site. The installation of various 3D modules was gradually coming to an end. Obviously, for this new thing, even if there are experienced hands with local "workers" who are familiar with Bangzi, It's a bit difficult to say.
