Chapter 828 General trend
“I’m like TT~~”

“Just like TT~~”

"..."

Some familiar music lingered in my ears, but as the car speeded up, 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 several others. Second, he had heard the demo of this song that Park Jinyoung sent him before...

Twice is back?
Chi Jingyuan reacted immediately and took out his mobile phone to check the time. It was October 24th. He remembered hearing Ming Jingnan and the others say that Twice had scheduled a comeback showcase today and would release a new album at the same time.

Well.

Chi Jingyuan patted his head gently. He had been too immersed in filming in Canada these days. In addition, the jet lag from flying back and forth had made him feel dizzy and insensitive to time.

I directly opened YouTube and searched for Twice, and sure enough, the MV of the new title song "TT" appeared immediately. Looking at the time, it seemed that it had just been released not long ago... The manager of the store just now was probably a fan of Twice, and he actually played the MV in the store immediately.

Chi Jingyuan took out his headphones and put them on, then directly clicked on the MV, and it started playing after a short buffer.

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

“I can only watch~~ba ba ba baby~”

Apart from the two kids playing tricks, the opening of the MV is quite interesting. The opening design where the whole team disperses one by one allows you to see all the members' outfits and makeup right from the start.

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

Lin Nayeon's voice when she sang the first sentence at the beginning was very distinctive... She really suits this style of pretending to be cute.

Then, Ming Jingnan appeared and gave him a surprise. The hairstyle in the MV was the same as the one in the photo that Ming Jingnan had sent her before, but the blue and white sweater and the pirate captain's white skirt 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 when she was free...

"Tsk, tsk, Halloween style."

The looks of the members including Zhou Ziyu and Minatozaki Sana are very comfortable. Zhou Ziyu's black long skirt is also amazing. Ji Jingyuan really feels that JYP seems to have changed a group of cody.
However, when the group dance came on, he couldn't help but twitching his lips.

It's really radio gymnastics...

Boring.

He had heard the demo of the song a long time ago, but now listening to the version sung by Ming Jingnan and the others gives him a completely new feeling. Although some of the members in Twice cannot be said to be the best singers, their voices are really distinctive.

The MV was shot quite well, the Halloween theme was very novel, and the costumes were very suitable... The important thing is that Ming Jingnan looked really good in it. Thinking of the date a few days ago, Chi Jingyuan felt a little itchy in his heart when he saw it.

However, at the end of the MV there is a melody 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 appreciating the pretty faces of his girlfriend and several female idols, Chi Jingyuan felt that his mood seemed to have improved a lot. He browsed the comments below and casually asked his assistant Cui Zhichang who was driving, "There should be a lot of people returning these days, right? Are there any new trends?"

I haven't paid attention to the news here for a few days, so I'm really confused for a moment.

"Jingyuan, you know what's happening on the peninsula recently. There was a parade at Guanghuamen a few days ago. People in the circle have been keeping a low profile recently."

Cui Zhichang, who was driving, gave a wry smile, his tone sounding somewhat helpless.

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

He thought for a moment, then added seriously, "Although there are indeed quite a lot of artists who have returned recently, but if you want to talk about the big trend, it must be IOI."

"IOI?"

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

"Yes, didn't they make a comeback last week? Jingyuan, you may not have paid attention to them these days. IOI's performance this time was surprisingly good. The entire album entered the charts on the first day of release, and the title song directly ranked first. On the second day, it took the first place on the daily chart and achieved PAK."

Choi Ji-chang is just like IOI’s fans. He knows all about IOI’s performance in the first week of their comeback. He couldn’t help but sing, “I quite like the title song ‘Naomu Naomu Naomu’. Naomu Naomu Naomu, Naomu Naomu…”

"so smart?"

Chi Jingyuan knew that his assistant liked IOI, the national girl group, very much. He had often heard him talk about related matters before the group was formed and had auditions, so he was not surprised by his excitement... However, he was really surprised at the performance of IOI's comeback this time.

An achievement like coming back with a hit song requires a lot of popularity and national recognition. It cannot be achieved without a popular group or a sudden hit song. From 2016 to now, only Twice's "Cheer Up" has achieved it, and there is also some popularity attached to Ji Jingyuan as a producer. IOI has become the second one this time.

As for PAK, it’s even more powerful…

"Yeah, the music explosion is amazing... Also, in the first week after its comeback, 'Nao Mu Nao Mu Nao Mu' took the first place on Melon's weekly chart. Wow, this popularity."

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

"No. 1 on the weekly list? So impressive?"

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

It’s not that he has never seen the world, but because this result is really impressive, whether it is the sound source or the sales volume... Although there may still 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 moment: "I remember they seemed to be a limited group, right?"

"yes……"

Upon hearing this, Choi Ji-chang's enthusiasm immediately dropped a lot. He sighed and nodded, "This is the last time IOI will return as a group. It will probably be disbanded soon after this. There may be other factors for their popularity."

Gee...

Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan began to worry a little about his girlfriend.

IOI and Twice released their songs just one week apart, which can be said to have completely collided with each other.

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

As a result, IOI is doing so well now, and they also have the killer weapon of "disbandment BUFF". Twice will definitely be under a lot of pressure in the future. If "TT" fails, I wonder how ugly Lin Nayeon and the others will look.

Chi Jingyuan knew that the song "Naomu Naomu Naomu" was originally Twice's theme song. When they had already started choreographing, it was suddenly given to IOI as the theme song for various reasons. Twice later changed it to "TT". With such a dramatic episode, if "TT" lost badly, the disappointment and resentment in the hearts of Twice members would definitely be doubled.

These are no longer things that can be solved by crying.

Chi Jingyuan of course felt sorry for his girlfriend, as well as Zhou Ziyu and the others. He hoped that they would do better in grades and develop better. He was on the side of Twice... But for some reason, he still had a little desire to see that scene...

Some people may find it ugly when they cry...

After a brainstorming session with great interest, Chi Jingyuan looked at the comments below the "TT" MV and casually asked, "Brother, what do you think of Twice? Have you listened to their new song?"

"Twice is back?"

Cui Zhichang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he recalled and said nonchalantly: "Oh, I saw the trailer a few days ago. Did they release the song today? But now IOI is the big trend, and Twice probably won't be as lucky as last time... Last time, I think it was mainly because of you, Jingyuan."

Park Jae-hyun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, gave him a strange look, then turned back to glance at Chi Jingyuan, holding back a smile and saying nothing.

"Forehead……"

Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and did not comment.

There's not much to say about this kind of fan mentality and those who have taken a biased stance... But IOI's performance is indeed amazing, and he doesn't have the confidence to speak for Minami Naoi and the others.

After reading the comments, he opened his address book. There were several friends he was familiar with in Twice, such as Yu Jeongyeon, Minatozaki Sana, Kim Dahyun, etc. It was necessary to send a text message to congratulate them for their comeback.

And he also had to tell Mingjing Nan that he was back... This was something he had already agreed on.

But after thinking about it, Chi Jingyuan felt that the members of Rabbit Waste should all be gathered together at this time, eagerly waiting for the release of the title song's audio performance, so it would be inappropriate to send text messages at this time.

After a brief thought, he sent a text message to Mingjingnan.

The next second, the reply came:

"Yuan-chan, you're back~"

It was estimated that Ming Jingnan was just checking his phone at that moment, and he replied immediately. His few short 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."

"You're so cute, Yuan-chan, you're afraid of heights... Go back home early to rest and adjust to the jet lag."

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

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

"I just finished watching it, the filming is okay, especially some of the members 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 pretty… well, maybe they are a little bit pretty, (snickering)”

"Mina xi doesn't believe in my vision?"

"Hmm~ I believe it."

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

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

"..."

They just started having an intimate relationship, and after not seeing each other for a few days, we were in the heat of the moment, and I responded to each other's messages immediately.

But as he was talking, Ming Jingnan suddenly stopped, as if something had happened to him.

Two minutes later, Chi Jingyuan received another message from Ming Jingnan:

"Oh my, the sound source over there has appeared out of nowhere!"

Seeing her say this, Chi Jingyuan, who was also very concerned about the performance of Ming Jingnan and the others, immediately logged into Melon. As soon as he entered, he saw a very eye-catching name in the first row at the top.

TT - Twice
…………

A few days ago, IOI surprised the Korean music scene with its explosive performance, and people were amazed at the popularity and momentum of the national girl group. Some people have even given them the title of "big devil" because of their popularity.

As a result, within less than a week, the returning Twice refreshed everyone's horizons with "TT", making people realize that there is always a mountain higher than the other.

Following IOI's "Naomu Naomu Naomu", "TT" became the third song by all girl groups to debut at number one on the music charts this year.

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

At the same time, within three days, Twice's third mini album surpassed the sales of many veteran solo stars who returned this year, including Taeyeon, Jessica Jung, and Hwang Miyoung, and became the second-best-selling physical album by a girl group in 2016... The first place was their second mini album.

The situation on YouTube was even more exaggerated. The number of MV views exceeded 7 million on the first day, and then increased by more than 1.5 million every day, breaking the record set by "Cheer Up" and raising it to a higher level.

Data from all aspects are moving forward in tandem. Twice's momentum is so hot that it's almost scary. Even though they haven't had a stage other than their comeback showcase so far, they have still become the latest trend in the entire music industry, and the biggest one.

The title of 'Big Devil' that was just given to him seems to be changing again.

The biggest evidence is that Chi Jingyuan felt that Cui Zhichang was a little unhappy these two days. He would frown from time to time when he was free, and he was obviously in a low mood.

Chi Jingyuan laughed when he saw this.

However, although IOI's performance was instantly overshadowed, its popularity did not drop significantly, and it barely formed a trend of competing with Twice, which just returned three days ago.

Although it seems to have surpassed IOI for the time being, Twice does not have much time to be proud. In the next two weeks, several popular first-line groups announced their comeback, including Kim Taeyeon, EXO sub-group, Blackpink, etc. Although "TT" has a good breakthrough, it is difficult to predict how it will develop in the future when it is sandwiched between so many groups.

This kind of competition is really exciting. The music industry is about to become more lively.

……

“Twice has really become a big hit this time.”

It has been three days since Twice's comeback on the 24th. The various popularity and data have surprised everyone in the circle, including Wu Sehun, who was holding his mobile phone and looking at something at the moment, and was exclaiming in amazement.

Today is the 27th. Chi Jingyuan had just returned to the company after a meeting with the advertising company. He and Wu Sehun were sitting in the coffee shop on the first floor of the company.

"The outbreak is indeed amazing." Chi Jingyuan nodded when he heard it. On his way back, he heard several stores playing "TT", almost every once in a while, without stopping.

This best demonstrates the national popularity and popularity.

Even Chi Jingyuan changed his cell phone ringtone to "TT" to express his support for his girlfriend and friends... although he felt that the song was a little too cute and didn't quite fit his mature temperament.

"But you have a really good eye..."

After taking a sip of coffee, Wu Se-hun suddenly smacked his lips and looked at Chi Jingyuan with a strange look: "Your new girlfriend is really pretty, and she is getting more and more beautiful."

It was obvious that he had watched the MV and some pictorials of "TT" and was somewhat surprised at the looks and temperament that Minami Naoi now displayed.

"Hmm~"

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

There were times when she was even more beautiful...but only I could see that.

"By the way, what did the company say?" After chatting for a few sentences, Wu Sehun's face became more serious and he got to the point.

"There was a small problem. The release date of the advertisement and the audio source has been postponed for three days... which is tomorrow night. Related plans including the press conference have also been postponed. Everything else remains unchanged."

Chi Jingyuan bit the straw of the orange juice but didn't drink it. He shrugged and told him the result he just knew.

This was the main thing he came back from the crew today. There seemed to be some problems with the production and release of the advertisement on Mercedes' side, which resulted in the advertising song "Really Really" originally scheduled to be released on the 25th not being able to be released on time and had to be postponed for a few days.

The sudden change disrupted Chi Jingyuan's previous schedule... But it's not a big problem. Since he has received so much money, he still has to cooperate with other people's work.

“I see…” Wu Se-hun nodded, not treating it as a big deal, but agreed: “All the company’s subway song projects are released on Fridays. It was originally quite strange to release them on Tuesday the 25th, so now changing it to the 28th is just right.”

"but……"

He seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at Chi Jingyuan with a strange expression:
"Twice is so popular right now..."

"We are just a subway song... we won't be knocked off the ground, right?"
