Top-notch artist in entertainment

Chapter 906 This song is great
The Princess's comeback was not a very busy day, as it did not coincide with the release dates of any popular artists.

At least it seems a lot calmer than when the first official album was released.

Thanks to the group's fan meeting tour, although they have not appeared on variety shows much, the group's exposure has still been maintained at a certain level.

This time, the return is in the form of an EP, so fans don’t have to wait too long. In short, it is just the right time.

As soon as the audio source was released, Jiang Yuan also chose to click on The Princess' MV to watch.

Although Jiang Yuan has watched both the practice room version and the official MV in advance, he still wants to see the official version and pay attention to the feedback on the new song.

The official version of the MV was released on the official account of The Princess group, and the domestic version also included subtitles.

Before Jiang Yuan could type the song title in the input box, he had already seen the title of the new song in the search terms.

"Next Level" is the first opening track of The Princess series EP. The song comes from the girl group aespa and can be regarded as a representative track of the group. Once it was released, it received a very enthusiastic response and became a hot single.

Both the rhythm of the song and the dance part are deeply rooted in people's hearts.

While Jiang Yuan was thinking, the MV started playing on his mobile phone.

The strong electronic sound as the prelude of the song immediately caught the audience's ears, and Jiang Yuan was soon attracted by the first picture of the MV.

In the production of the MV, Jiang Yuan provided some ideas based on the original version, and the rest of the settings were discussed and designed by Chi Ruiying and others.

So when Jiang Yuan watched it for the first time, he also thought it was an MV with pretty good visual effects.

The opening scene is a very impactful special effect. The spaceship crosses the sky and falls towards the wilderness that appeared in the trailer earlier.

Soon as the song started, the screen switched to the five members of the group.

Compared to The Princess' previous MVs, "Next Level" is obviously of a different style.

The members wore sci-fi style costumes and started singing and dancing inside the high-tech spaceship.

The moment the song starts, it is a rap that is as impactful as the picture.

“I’m on next level yeah”

The very melodious rap, accompanied by drum beats, makes people start to shake unconsciously.

Because he was familiar with the song and had recorded the demo vocals, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but start singing along after the song started playing.

After singing two lines, he came to his senses, thought for a moment, paused the playback, then took out another mobile phone, set up the camera and filmed himself.

After confirming that the video had started recording, Jiang Yuan resumed playing the MV.
"Unexpected balck out, too hot too hot"

Jiang Yuan watched, swayed and sang along, and added some dance movements with his hands.

For MVs of group songs like this, the focus is more on shooting people.

The set scene only serves as a background, and more attention is focused on the members' dance and faces.

For this MV, The Princess also had great resources for makeup and styling, changing into several different looks in just one minute.

Sometimes, in the blink of an eye, the scene and the costumes change together.

In Jiang Yuan's eyes, it was a visual feast that perfectly displayed the members' looks.

And the fans are obviously very fond of this. Sometimes, based on the makeup in the MV and how many different looks are changed, whether it looks good or not becomes a way to judge the company's level of dedication.

After the MV was released, it played for a while and Jiang Yuan also saw some comments floating by in real time.

The main reason that distracted Jiang Yuan was that key words appeared in the barrage, which was Jiang Yuan's name.

After The Princess changed into many outfits that fans were very satisfied with, comments like "You can always trust Jiang Yuan's aesthetics" began to appear.

As soon as the song was released, Jiang Yuan finished watching the MV in just over four minutes, and also filmed a reaction video of the sing-along version.

After briefly checking the video footage, Jiang Yuan planned to send it to Chi Ruiying later to let her see if she wanted to use it to promote The Princess.

When Jiang Yuan sent the video to Chi Ruiying, many fans were watching the MV of "Next Level" online at the same time.

In terms of the level of MV production, it can definitely be described as excellent. After all, the filming costs alone are a considerable expense, much more expensive than some of Jiang Yuan's own MVs.

At the same time, as new members who have just debuted and have been on tour, everyone of The Princess is in great shape.

With exquisite makeup and beautiful background, it is also a treat for fans' eyes.

However, what was more in line with Jiang Yuan’s expectations was that not long after “Next Level” was released, in addition to the song’s title, it soon gained another entry.

That is the popularity certification: “It sounds bad.”

This entry will appear when many singers release new song albums.

If it was any other song, it would be fine, but for "Next Level", Jiang Yuan felt that it was quite normal to have such a hot search.

This song received such comments when it was first released in the previous life.

The song is certainly catchy, but it's also because most of the song is rap, and it also includes beat changes, which are sections where the style of the entire song suddenly changes completely.

Because of these relationships, the song is given the name of a spliced ​​chanting song.

Obviously, this situation also reappeared after changing to another world.

Of course, most fans still like the song and the MV, but there will always be some listeners who don’t like this type of song so much.

This point also received feedback quickly on the Internet.

【I don’t quite get the return of The Princess this time. 】

[Is it okay to say that it doesn’t sound good? 】

[I think it's very brainwashing. I can sing it after listening to it once.]

[I dare not think that this is Jiang Yuan's group. Has Jiang Lang run out of talent? ]

[What are you mocking? Isn't it nice to listen to? You are probably not used to this style, right?]

[It's OK, but not as good as expected. ]

——After going online, some reviews were mixed.

Just like if The Princess performed well, some of the credit would be attributed to Jiang Yuan, this time the response to the song was not as enthusiastic as before, and many people also attributed the reason to Jiang Yuan.

Of course, along with the controversy, it also brought popularity to the song. Faced with such an entry, many passers-by curiously clicked on it to listen.

The data for the song’s first hour is also soaring rapidly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it became the song with the most listeners in real time on multiple music apps, and its sound source performance remains shining.

An hour later, "Next Level" has successfully topped multiple charts, including the Peninsula chart, which is a better way to verify the popularity of artists.

On the one hand, The Princess already has a popularity base and can attract more listeners.

In addition, although there are some spliced ​​sections in the song "Next Level" that sound a bit fragmented, they have been handled relatively well within the song.

Then there is the accompaniment and rap of the song, coupled with the different voices of the members, the whole song may seem a bit confusing at first glance.

But if you listen to it one or two more times and think about it carefully, you will find that each member's voice is used just right in the song.

Combined with the dance moves, it is still a very attractive new single.

In less than an hour, some attitude reversals have occurred.

[When the song was first released, I frowned. After listening to it twice more, I thought: I'm on the next level! ! ]

[In fact, I think the whole song is quite wonderful, and even has a refreshing feeling. It is a different style from the previous ones! ]

[Am I the only one who thinks the rap part is cool? ]

[The arrangement and hook are both so catchy, it feels like a melody that will be engraved into your DNA. ]

[I’m already preparing to shoot a dance challenge, and I’m looking forward to the next song in the EP. 】

[Who said this song is noisy? This song is awesome!!]

-

The reversal happens in an instant. If a song becomes popular, it means that the group of people who like this type of song far outweighs the listeners who don't like it.

And after several months of experience since their debut, members of The Princess have become more receptive to online comments.

Previously, they were quite calm when seeing the ugly trending searches, and were even somewhat happy about it, as they felt that they had already caught up with the level of some well-established groups.

Plus, being able to follow the songs’ real-time data has always been great, and everyone’s mood has become even calmer.

As for people like Ji Ruiying, they are thinking about the promotion plan for the song, and the popular dance challenge is naturally indispensable.

The dance challenge videos shot individually and as a group by the members are already ready, plus Jiang Yuan's cover version, which are what Ji Ruiying plans to release on the day the single is released.

Although the reaction video that Jiang Yuan just sent was not shot very formally, Chi Ruiying felt that as long as Jiang Yuan appeared in the video, he should be able to attract more likes.

Not to mention that Chi Ruiying listened carefully to Jiang Yuan's singing in the video and found it quite exciting.

Even the members of The Princess, who were originally studying the feedback after the song was released, were attracted by the sound coming from Ji Ruiying's mobile phone receiver.

"Is there a cover so soon?" Team leader Li Jingzhi asked Chi Ruiying as the group spokesperson as usual.

"No, it's your teacher Xiao Jiang." Chi Ruiying smiled and shook her head.

Upon hearing this, the members of The Princess curiously gathered around Ji Ruiying and watched the rest of the video together.

Because she had a roadshow schedule that day, Jiang Yuan even appeared in the video with full makeup.

As trainees from Xingyuan Entertainment, the members of The Princess have always admired Jiang Yuan, and there are even fans of Jiang Yuan within the team.

That is, it has gradually faded away after I made my debut.

However, when Jiang Yuan was not present, everyone couldn't help but shout loudly when watching such a reaction and sing-along video.

While I was impressed by which part Jiang Yuan sang best, I was also paying attention to the dance moves of Jiang Yuan's hands and marveled at his proficiency in dancing.

"Why does it feel like Teacher Jiang can go on stage and perform this song directly?" Everyone sighed after watching the show.

"It should be almost ready." Chi Ruiying recalled the dance challenge video she had watched before, and nodded.

"Okay, now the first hour of the new song's audio performance has come out, and the data in all aspects is very good."

"Tonight I will upload the dance challenge video of you and Teacher Jiang, and start the dance challenge of the new song. If nothing unexpected happens, the current results should be able to stabilize."

"And the video you just saw was also sent to me by Teacher Xiao Jiang. He said that if I want to use it for promotion, I can post it directly. I plan to wait until tomorrow to release it."

"With the studio version of the video, the popularity of the song will continue until you go on the show to promote it. It will all depend on your performance then."

Ji Ruiying also directly laid out her next promotion plan to The Princess, which also motivated the members to practice and start preparing for the first official stage of the song.

Regarding the first hour performance of The Princess audio source, Jiang Yuan also received a performance feedback post from Ji Ruiying.

Compared to when they debuted with their first album, data in all aspects have been further improved, and they no longer look like a rookie group that just debuted not long ago.

Even some media in the Peninsula used the song title "Next Level" when summarizing The Princess's achievements to claim that The Princess has reached a new Next Level.

In China, the popularity of The Princess' new song is also continuing to soar.

Continuing the popularity of the online audio source, The Princess group version of the dance short video was released first, and the dance challenge activity of the song was officially launched.

Not long after the official challenge part was released, internet celebrities and artists began to shoot and upload their own challenge videos.

Long before some of The Princess' previous dance challenges became a trend and became popular, as soon as people saw a new song online, they followed suit and took dance challenges, which can be considered a trend-following behavior.

The popularity of the dance challenge topic has accumulated little by little.

The news that The Princess released a new single spread quickly, and when Jiang Yuan was dining with He Jing and others, she was already being asked if she was going to perform this dance at the roadshow.

When Jiang Yuan heard He Jing and others mention it, he immediately became excited. He pulled He Jing and others to watch the dance challenge video together, and tried to get everyone to dance together at the roadshow.

The movements in the chorus part are not complicated and it is a relatively easy part to learn, so He Jing and others took a quick look and said that it is worth considering.

What no one expected was that before the roadshow could cue the audience to interact that night, fans started shouting for dance.
