Chapter 31 Evaluation (Must Read Today)

In Twice's dormitory, the Neon Line group came to the room where the youngest members were.

Son Chaeyoung nervously held her phone and kept refreshing the page of JYP's official website, while Minatozaki Sana and Chou Tzuyu, who were gathered together, also looked worried.

"Gong Chengxi, how are you doing recently?"

"I saw a lot of abuse online."

Mingjing Nan leaned on Momo's shoulder, and the two Japanese girls talked to each other with concern.

They were not very familiar with Gong Cheng, but since their good friend Sana kept saying bad things about him, it was hard for them not to be familiar with him. The most amazing thing was that he had the same birthday as Mina.

What's more, they are Japanese line, and they are also green card idols. As Gong Cheng is the first green card artist to debut as a solo artist in the peninsula, they naturally pay attention to him.

Perhaps the abuse and slander that Gong Cheng faces now may happen to him in the future. Who wouldn't want to make a solo debut?
"Don't worry, that guy doesn't care about any of this."

Minatozaki Sana pouted in anger, then sighed imperceptibly.

Ever since JYP announced Gong Cheng's debut trailer that night, the first thing she would do every day when she had free time was to send a message to Gong Cheng, fearing that he would not be able to withstand the rumors on the Internet.

It wasn't until she had a quick meeting at the company yesterday, and he was still acting like a jerk, that she felt relieved. But, with all the abuse and slander online, could it really be okay?

She doesn't believe it!

“No one would care, right?”

"Ashi, why are these people talking so harshly?"

Chaeyoung frowned, fiddling with her phone screen. "Tzuyu, come support me! I'll forward this post to you..."

"Yeah." Zhou Ziyu nodded as if facing a great enemy, holding her phone ready to fight at any time, while glancing at the "tactical paper" on her legs.

The "tactical paper" contains a diss carefully written by Xiao Lao Hu, which is specifically used to fight back against those who slander Gong Cheng oppa.

"Oh my! Is this guy sick? Why did he ban me directly? Dahyun unni, give me your small account, I'm so mad~" Sun Caiying shouted and clenched her fists.

Tofu handed over the phone silently. She was also busy, busy instructing Tzuyu on how to fight against those haters.

Momo opened her mouth in surprise. This is too much! When did the three youngest members and Gong Chengxi become so close?

“The audio and video have been released!”

Minatozaki Sana clicked on the video that had just been refreshed and clicked play directly.

After a while of loading, the video started playing and several heads gathered together to watch it.

……

"It's so late, what are you looking at, Ernie?"

In the four-person room of Twice's dormitory, Park Ji-hyo, wearing a facial mask, saw Lim Nayeon curled up in bed, holding a mobile phone, with a complicated expression.

She looked around and asked again, "Hey, why aren't Sana and Mina here too?"

"Ah? Oh, they went to the maknae's three-person room." Lin Nayeon quietly turned off her phone and explained with a grin.

It’s fine as long as the members are in the dormitory, Park Ji-hyo nodded and sat back on the edge of the bed.

Lin Nayeon glanced at it like a thief, took out the earphones from under the pillow, then covered herself with the quilt, hid in the bed and turned on her mobile phone.

A light burst out from the dark bed, and the bright white screen was playing Gong Cheng's debut trailer.

In the video, the background of the recording studio was covered with a black curtain, and the warm yellow light shone on Gong Cheng's warm and handsome face. He was wearing a clean and neat white T-shirt and black overalls. His exposed skin had no tattoos. The pendant read: "An Ning Haseyo, I am Gong Cheng."

He followed the beat and introduced himself simply and clearly.

At the moment when the drum beats suddenly rose, he put away his gentle smile and sang unrestrainedly into the microphone: "The summer nights can even turn cold (summer nights can also turn cold)... My heart pumping till it turn gold (My heart beats until it turns into gold)" "..."

"Next up is the pre-release song 'Link'."

Gong Cheng chuckled at the camera. As the strong bass and drum beats intertwined, he closed his eyes, exhaled, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

Pointing at the camera with sharp disdain: "(The bond between you and me)"

"(The bond that connects you and me is the voice within us)"

"..."

"808 (The sound of 808 Bass that connects you and me)"

"..."

The whole song has a brisk and dynamic rhythm, and the 808 drum beats are as powerful as a heartbeat, but the melody is simple yet very memorable, which increases the song's appeal and popularity.

Lin Nayeon wore headphones, her body swaying involuntarily to the rhythm. She called it swaying, but in Park Jihyo's eyes, it looked like a maggot wrapped in a blanket, swimming forward in feces.

At the end of the video, Gong Cheng once again showed the smile he had at the beginning, pursed his lips and said: "I hope everyone will pay more attention to my first album "Yongdeungpo"..."

Lin Nayeon took off her headphones with a lost look on her face, and poked her head out from under the quilt. Her hair was wet with sweat and stood in clumps on her forehead.

Can you sing so well?
What if... no one scolds you?

Unwilling to give up, she turned on the screen and started to read the comments that were piling up.

……

"Damn it~ I won't listen~"

“Go back to China!”

"Boycott! Boycott!"

"..."

"No, have the people upstairs listened to these two songs? Don't they have the least level of appreciation?"

"You guys can really criticize such a richly layered arrangement and such a mournful tone? Are you deaf?"

"I don't understand why JYP would release a solo artist at this time, and he's a green card holder?"

"Are you trying to divide up our GOT7 resources? Xiba's style is also hip-hop..."

"..."

"Isn't this face so great?"

"He should be Korean, right? We can study his family tree to prove it..."

"..."

"How are you, Xiaocheng?" Park Jin Young pushed open the door of the composing room and walked in with a smile, looking in a good mood.

"What can I do, Brother Zhenying?" Gong Cheng shrugged, pointed at the computer screen, and laughed: "Brother, look, there is still a comment here. What a great face, the evaluation is quite pertinent."

"Just don't take those negative comments to heart. I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately." Park Jin Young sighed, patted his shoulder, and then smiled again: "Fortunately, we've achieved our goal."

"Also, according to company statistics, under this wave of public opinion, you have attracted many more fans than we expected."

"Most importantly, the trailer has performed very well on YouTube, Instagram, and so on. Relatively speaking, 'Link' has received mostly positive reviews from domestic sources, and your all-English freestyle has seen explosive growth in international play."
