How to become an ACE of a top boy group

After Rosie and her team finished their performance and returned to the dressing room, they waited for everyone else to finish performing before the entire group returned to the stage to announce the winner of the week's show.

The hosts for this month's "New Song Concert" are Chen Nuoke, a member of the boy group Dayday, and Nan Mo, a member of the girl group Cocowater. The two of them stand in the center of the camera, while the other members stand behind or to the sides of the two hosts.

Luo Xi and the others knew that the award for number one had nothing to do with them, so they just stood at the back and waited for the results to be announced before leaving get off work. Since there weren't any strong new songs in December, the number one spot was still won by veteran singer Zhu Chunfeng's "Like Smoke" from November, with Treasure? Boy's "Malice" as the nominee. Both of their songs had top-performing digital music charts and sales, making Luo Xi wonder if they were really that popular.

Looking at Treasure? Boy's current performance, it's almost on par with Fiction (D) before. However, the popularity of Fiction (D) was undeniable, with a large number of fan-created discussions online and the iconic "bunny dance" challenge. But for Treasure? Boy's song "Malice," apart from fans frantically promoting and selling it, the discussions were very calm. In fact, the discussions about the song itself were not as numerous as the debates surrounding Chen Zui's attempt to clear his name.

Remembering the rumors that they had inflated their figures, Luo Xi sighed. There was nothing he could do; capital couldn't compete.

She checked her taskbar again, and all the task progress was displayed.

[Valid debut]:

1. Make ILiter network support greater than Treasure? (boy)

Currently, the support ratio between the two sides is 23.7:76.3.

2. The song and music video have reached 100 million views.

Current views: 309,865

The total sales of the three albums reached 1 million.

Current sales: 114,361

It's been almost a week since they released their album. Actually, for a small company, this is a pretty good result. The problem is that they're not a small company. If they can't achieve results despite being backed by a big company, they'll just be ridiculed.

Fortunately, 041 didn't set any time limit for Luo Xi's mission, letting her take her time. Afraid of putting pressure on her, 041 even said that if things didn't go well, they could just wait it out; after all, sales, music streaming numbers, and support would eventually rise.

This relieved Luo Xi of any worries, allowing her to focus on completing each stage performance and achieving a perfect stage presence every time. Sometimes, she even received notifications of amazing shots, which became the top post on Luo Xi's fan site.

Round after round of performances, the week of music show promotions came to an end. Even under immense public pressure, after each performance, ILitterer's performance showed a slight increase, with rising online support and sales, reaching as high as 50 copies.

After the company conducted some stage marketing and their 2x45 New Year's Eve video went viral for its "perfect makeup to create good looks," positive public opinion finally emerged in support of them.

The "radish stickers" that symbolize "idol vitality" have become a popular trend.

I was drawn in by their stage performance, and then I discovered that they sang live for all their music shows! While muting is a flaw, live singing has become less common in the second and third generations. It's really rare to see a fourth-generation group singing live. I feel like I've found the same feeling as following One Origin again!

This is a stage with life!

What group? A new fourth-generation group? I'll go check it out.

ILetter debuted half a month ago; they're the twin group from the "Dream Building" group. But I feel like they were born too late.

He was criticized by the entire internet when he debuted, but now that he has proven his strength on stage, his public image seems to have turned around.

4

Oh, is there one more? I only know Fiction (D)

5

Because the bunny dance from Fiction (D) was so popular, ILitterer was even criticized for being a vampire when she was born.

6

Candle explained that the reason we criticized them was because the two groups were using the same fan name, and then an ILitterer member was accused of spreading rumors about a Fiction (D) member. DogMoRi clarified very late and didn't issue a statement.

7

Finished watching! I'm hooked! Does ILetter have nicknames?

8

Her flower name is Airi Toru, and she's also called Shin.

9

Candle is the fan name. Originally, there were plans to split it into "Faith Candle" and "Dream Candle," but after the arguments between the two sides ended, it's now unified with "Dream Gossip."

10

Who is Gou Meng?

11

The Chinese translation of "Fiction (D)" is "fictional dream".

12

Both are from Mexico and Japan, a twin group setup. They both came from the talent show "My Favorite Treasure 101" and share the same fan name: candle.

……

Even Luo Xi, who had decided to temporarily refrain from reading any comments except those from fan sites and official cafes, sensed a shift in the outside world's attitude towards ILetter from the relaxed conversations between her manager and employees of the Mexican company.

During the second week of promotions, Lu Yun and Luo Xi took a day off to go out and have fun. They originally wanted to invite others, but Li Longxuan and Song Chuchu were both staying at home, and Gu Minxing had already made an appointment with the teacher to practice in the practice room.

Lu Yun and Luo Xi went to a restaurant that Lu Yun really wanted to go to, and Luo Xi took out her pile of money to treat them.

Then I bought a limited-edition collaboration bread that Song Chuchu liked but couldn't get through takeout, a bottle of alcoholic beverage that Lee Yong-hyun might like, and a towel that looked very durable.

Luo Xi wanted to expand her personal clothing collection, so they went to clothing stores and luxury stores.

Just as Luo Xi was listening to Lu Yun introduce the seven major luxury brands of this world, a system notification suddenly rang in his ears.

[Debut album sales reach 100 million]

Luo Xi was stunned for a moment.

She immediately looked at the automatically opened system page—the number of listens hadn't even reached 80, so how could the album have sold 100 million copies?
