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

1. How the lone wolf defeated the dragon

The next time he met Yin Donghao was when he made his solo comeback after the year-end ceremony. Xia Xinglang felt like he was being targeted because it coincided with Song Jueming's promotion period and the Cheshire Cat also officially released a new album in April.

This is not a good thing.

Even though Kim Seung Hyuk and the others kept comforting him, saying that he was a big star, and that fans also told him to walk on the flower path, Xia Xinglang still thought of the worst outcome, that he would not get first place and be mocked by fans. He had the slogan "Soloisme!" as the team concept, but it was completely unsuitable for a solo. He had won awards before because of the good team packaging concept, and without the team, he would be nothing.

Ever since winning all the trophies at the year-end ceremony, Xia Xinglang had an inexplicable feeling that he was starting a new chapter after the final one... and he hadn't fought the final boss in the story yet, and he hadn't actually killed Antonio, so was it really the end?

How to defeat the dragon in the story?

Since the system turned into garbled characters, there has been no new notifications or tasks. Every time the status window is summoned, it is dark red. The rewards for previous tasks have been piling up there, so Xia Xinglang simply put all his attribute points into talent.

Artistic personality? Xia Xinglang had also heard of it. For example, David Bowie and other famous singers would show different styles according to the album concept during different album promotion periods. This was artistic personality. The artistic personality of each period was different, describing a completely different soul in the album.

But how should one shape one's own artistic personality?

Occasionally, when they met in private, Xinglang would ask Yin Donghao, "Brother Donghao, what do you think of me?"

Yin Donghao looked at him: "Cute."

Xia Xinglang: "No, I want to ask about the performance on stage."

Yin Donghao: "It's very eye-catching. The world is lit up because of your appearance."

Xia Xinglang: "Don't read the fans' comments!"

Yin Donghao pushed his hat down and said, "Well, it's definitely better to ask Xiao Yu than to ask me. He downloaded all your live stage performances and saved them on his hard drive. He would play them whenever he had time."

Xia Xinglang: "I think it would be better to ask you."

Yin Donghao asked why.

Xia Xinglang: "Because I feel like Brother Donghao is the one who dislikes me the least among all the people."

Yin Donghao: “…………”

Xia Xinglang: "So you don't have any weird filter for me."

Yin Donghao: "You are not right."

Xia Xinglang: "What's wrong?"

Yin Donghao: "I also have a filter for you."

Xia Xinglang didn't believe it, Yin Donghao sighed and said: "It should be that you, Xiaolang, didn't like me that much, so you think I don't like you. This is psychological, inner projection. What you think is what you will see. Forget it, you must hate me."

"Brother, but I didn't." Xia Xinglang couldn't explain his feelings. "In fact, I admired him very much before..."

Yin Donghao blurted out subconsciously: "Then why didn't you team up with me again?"

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.

More than a year later, Yin Donghao was still upset about this incident. Just as Xia Xinglang was about to speak, Donghao said, "I don't want to hear the bird's story this time. Don't talk about whether the flight paths overlap or not."

Xia Xinglang didn't expect Dong Hao to remember what happened that day so clearly: "Then let me tell you another story. A boy won first place in a talent show, and his childhood friend won third place. They both debuted in a talent show, and the group was very popular. After the limited group disbanded, the boy and his childhood friend formed a new group, which continued the group's star concept, continued to be active, and finally became big stars."

Yin Donghao was listening intently from the middle.

Xia Xinglang: "I just looked up to him to get to where he is today."

Yin Donghao had a vague guess in his mind: "Who is that person?"

Xia Xinglang said: "Brother Donghao, this is another Yin Donghao I know."

Yin Donghao: "Is this the story of your parallel world?"

Xia Xinglang smiled and said, "That's about right."

Yin Donghao raised his eyebrows: "Am I so good in your heart?"

Xia Xinglang said it was very good: "I often see you appearing on various posters."

Yin Donghao: "Then I have to shoot more commercials!"

Xia Xinglang: “…………”

Although he kept making irrelevant jokes later on, Yin Donghao did help Xia Xinglang establish the personality of 'Wolf'. He split his name into 'Star' and 'Wolf'. Star is the romantic prince of love songs, and Wolf is the strong stage dominator. 'Star' is a gentle personality, and 'Wolf' is an aggressive personality. This is Xia Xinglang's own deconstruction of Star Wolf.

2. Time of separation

On the second anniversary of JP1's disbandment, Solis released their fourth mini album "Solomon's Key". At this time, when you see JP1's previous stage live shots or variety show clips, there will be comments below saying: The time the seven of them have been apart is longer than the time they have been together.

Xia Xinglang and Che Zaixun both completed their solo debuts. At the end of the year, Antonio withdrew from the Cheshire Cats due to personal reasons.

When I was in the group, no one discussed it, but when I left the group, all kinds of voices suddenly appeared.

Someone found out that Antonio had signed with another company and was going to go solo. Many fans who really loved him started to scold him for running away! He spent so much money on you, but he didn't respond to the fans. He couldn't be popular in the group and he wanted to go solo. He deserved to be forgotten for the rest of his life!

The Cheshire Cats became a four-member group. Miraculously, when Antonio left the group, Xia Xinglang found that his system had returned to normal. The system frantically issued him tasks, as if to make up for the vacancies of the past few years, such as love confessions, love hugs, love kisses, and various tasks that he could not imagine at all.

Xia Xinglang once said "I love you" to Yin Donghao four times in one day.

Yin Donghao: "Have you been drinking?"

Xia Xinglang evolved into a ruthless task machine: "Brother Donghao, I love you, do you love me? Do you love me or not!? Tell me quickly."

Yin Donghao was just teasing him, not saying it directly: "It's so difficult. After not contacting each other for so long, you suddenly say you love me."

Xia Xinglang acted like a spoiled child, pulling his arm and shaking it: "Brother, tell me, tell me, tell me you love me, okay?"

Yin Donghao's cheeks flushed slightly: "Okay, okay, I love you, I love you, is that ok? That's really troublesome."

Xia Xinglang raised his arms and cheered, and a ding reminder sounded from the mission.

Yin Donghao couldn't help laughing and pointed at him: "Are you playing a prank? Is there a camera filming it?"

Xia Xinglang: "Brother, you think too much!"

Yin Donghao: "Then I don't love you anymore."

Xia Xinglang was worried that the mission would come again: "Don't be like this! You can't withdraw! Don't say that, I will be sad..."

Yin Donghao: "If you hug me, I won't withdraw."

Xia Xinglang rubbed his head against his shoulder, and Yin Donghao couldn't help laughing. Xinglang asked him why he was laughing. It turned out that Jin Chengxie was standing behind them and saw them hugging each other, and his face darkened.

Kim Seung Hyuk: “What are you doing?”

"Xiaolang missed me so much," Yin Donghao said, "Is this a hug after a long separation?"

Kim Seung Hyuk: “Did I?”

Xia Xinglang had no choice but to hug him as well.

Yin Donghao: "Hey! You guys have been together all the time, what are you reuniting for?"

Kim Seung Hyuk: "We haven't seen each other for eight hours. Do you know how I got through these eight hours?"

Xia Xinglang: “…………”
