Boy group: In order to survive, I have to open business

Xia Xinglang and his friends kept running into the Cheshire Cat on music shows this week. Hong Zhanglin will be the MC of "Music Center" on Thursday, so there are six stars on the stage. Only Yingzhi is missing to be on the same stage together. However, since the last interview, the two teams have never been interviewed on the same stage again. The company and the agent have various considerations.

Last time, the host failed to avoid suspicion and mentioned that the five people belonged to a group. People with ulterior motives made various interpretations about this, including the major and minor disturbances during the JP1 period. It was inevitable to mention that Xiao Yu was a bully. Although it was clarified, many people did not read the clarification article, and all they remembered was the negative news.

Although the popularity of the two groups is not that different, the popularity of the members can be seen. In Cheshire Cat, Xiao Yu and Yin Donghao are competing against each other. Xiao Yu's position as the main dancer and Yin Donghao's position as the lead singer are unshakable. Even if someone in the group can sing dolphin voice or beautiful voice, they are only the deputy lead singer. As for Antonio, his positioning is unclear, and his lyrics are at the bottom, so he is often said to be just making up the numbers.

On the Taeyang side, Xia Xinglang is the most popular. People are still more concerned about Kim Seung-hyuk, who debuted for the second time, and Cha Jaehoon, who debuted for the third time. Their fan base is not small in itself. Miu Miu and Li Siyu also have a certain amount of attention. Miu Miu's performance has been more eye-catching recently, resulting in Li Siyu now being the least popular in the group.

The youngest members of both groups are not very popular, but if we have to compare, Li Siyu is still better.

Cheshire Cat also won their first debut No. 1 with "Starry Sky". They won three No. s in the first week of their debut. Hong Zhanglin is also preparing to release a mini album recently. I guess C-company wants to take advantage of the popularity. The former member of JP is still emitting residual heat. This group has reached the height of No. in the same generation. No new generation boy band in the same period can be more popular than them. Those who are more popular than them are all predecessors.

All major TV stations launch collaborative stages every year. The year before last was the year of boy groups, last year was the year of girl groups, and this year it's back to boy groups again. I don't know what projects will be launched in the middle of the year and at the end of the year. The year before last he and Yingzhi participated in a cover of their predecessors' stage, and at the end of the year he had a collaborative song with Song Jueming. Logically, they will invite a new group this year.

There were very few new groups debuting at the same time. It took three years for a large company to officially launch a boy or girl group. Small companies had a lot of groups, but few of them could last a year, and most of them died out after four months.

Xia Xinglang looked up the group from his previous life, Nine Teen, and saw the news of their disbandment. There was news that Song Jueming was going to release a new album recently, and this time it would no longer be a youth band style, but a pop dance style. Xia Xinglang saw a few familiar faces among the dancers, who were his teammates from his previous life.

Song Jueming is also a very good dancer, which is beyond most people's expectations, but Xia Xinglang knows that Song Jueming has won the championship of the national street dance competition in his previous life. One day in the future, a foreign reporter interviewed Song Jueming and asked him about this. Lance's answer left a deep impression on him.

He said: "I think I am a performer, not a vocalist. I want the audience to hear and see me, but singing alone would be boring. In order not to be boring, I can dance, but performing alone is not as interesting as performing with two people. Maybe I am not suitable for solo."

When Xia Xinglang saw this interview, he thought that even someone as high up as Song Jueming would feel lonely standing on the stage alone. Lance soon announced that he would join the mixed voice group, which is composed of two men and two women. The temperament of the two female members changed the current music, which is more accurate and delicate music, Song Jueming described it this way.

At that time, the casting of the other male member had not been decided yet, and everyone in the entertainment industry wanted to give it a try. Some people even said that if it was Song Jueming's group, they would not ask for the company's money, and they would even be willing to pay for it.

Xia Xinglang had forgotten how he felt at that time. Perhaps he was still like an 18-year-old at the age of 30. There was something in his heart that could not be erased. He felt that he could do what others could not do! With this belief, he broke through the layers of selection and got the final seat.

"..."

If you ask how he feels about Antonio now, many things are changing. If Xia Xinglang really kills people as the system requires, what can he do even if there are such conditions and environment?

Cheshire Cat ended its two-week promotional period and started running various activities. The atmosphere in the online variety show was much more harmonious, at least it seemed so. When the host asked, "Will you still stick with Cheshire Cat in ten years?", Xiao Yu's answer became very smooth, deliberately creating a show effect: "If the group can renew the contract, but we only signed for seven years."

Zhou Junwu: "What if the contract can be renewed?"

Xiao Yu: "See if everyone is still interested, haha."

Kim Min-hyun: "Very sharp, popularity is indeed very important..."

Antonio's eyes sparkled: "It is God's destiny that I am with my brothers!"

"..."

Yin Donghao was not in the mood for team spirit, and told the truth: "Actually, it was arranged by the company."

Everyone laughed except Antonio. Anton, the kid, probably felt that he would not be refuted, and he couldn't keep smiling. He started to make a face as if he was wronged, and didn't say a word in the later part of the show. Sure enough, Anton's fans started to denounce him in the comment section of the variety show, probably feeling that their idol was bullied, and a small war broke out among the fans again.

Xia Xinglang and his group continue to promote their music. This time they appeared on a radio program hosted by Hong Zhanglin. The host talked about a group that had been on the program before. The seven members of the boy band vowed that they would not separate and would continue to perform together for the rest of their lives.

Hong Zhanglin smiled and said: "I was very emotional at the time, and then I found out that they had also stopped their activities recently."

In fact, when they were in JP1, Xia Xinglang felt that Zhang Lin had a very strong character because he could talk about such a heavy thing in a relaxed tone. Now after the disbandment, he found that Zhang Lin might just be a little stupid.

Zhang Lin started laughing after he finished speaking: "I am also working hard to prepare to release a new song."

They were all applauding and congratulating, and Che Zaixun clapped until his palms turned red.

Zhang Lin: "I will send you a message as soon as possible."

After the new song was introduced, Hong Zhanglin took off his headphones and took a breath during the break of the music. Xia Xinglang knew that he was also very tired, especially after renewing his contract with Company C. He might even see their former practice room become just one person instead of seven people. He could imagine what that felt like.

Their summer single, "The End of the World", ended.

"To be honest," Hong Jang-rim said, "When I first watched the MV, I was shocked. The rainstorm at the seaside made me feel like the sea was roaring, and then the roaring gradually subsided. Seung-hyup is really amazing to be able to write such a song."

Kim Seung Hyuk: "Jang Lin is also very good."

Hong Zhanglin: "Who were you thinking of writing it for?"

Kim Seung Hyuk replied, “Myo and Seong Wolf, they were yelling towards the sea.”

Xia Xinglang was thinking that he was lying, he was actually thinking about Dong Hao.
