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

Singles are promoted by singles. The famous ones are Billboard, UK, Ori, and Mel. The global charts are divided into national charts according to each country. Fans who pay a little attention to pop music should know this. Idols’ singles are more for the purpose of promoting albums. The ranking of singles charts is the most direct reflection of the popularity of a song. If it is not popular, no one will listen to it, and naturally the single will not be included in the charts.

In addition, the number of days on the chart is also very important. If the time on the chart is too short, it is also called "flying off the chart". Except for fans, no one cares about the songs that fly off the chart. The songs of idol groups must be able to catch the ears of passers-by in order to be on the chart. If the singles do not perform well, it also means that the album is not good to a certain extent, and the sales will naturally not go up. Over time, the songs will become obscure, and if they are obscure, no one will come to listen to their concerts.

It is not necessary to promote only one song when releasing a single. In order to maintain the popularity during the comeback period, there will usually be one or two singles. If the comeback period is long, there may even be three singles.

Xia Xinglang and his friends participated in a talent show, became famous, and gained popularity and fame. In order to maintain this popularity, they need to continue to produce songs, promote their albums on stage, hold autograph sessions in various places, and eventually go on tour.

The planner directly gave them two demos to listen to. As a reborn person, Xia Xinglang knew which song JP1 relied on to get the first place in the early stage. The first song was exactly the song that could get the first place. It was very listenable and the ears would not feel tired even if it was played on a loop.

"The first one is better," Xia Xinglang said without hesitation.

It's a magnificent song that drives the concepts of planets and the universe home. It has a strong epic feel and the instrumental version alone gives me goosebumps.

The other six people's ears were also useful and they could tell the difference between the two songs. Most of them thought the first one was better, except for Hong Zhanglin.

“The second song is softer, which I prefer.”

Most people chose the first song, which has the same name as their team name, "JUP1TER".

A large company like C社 is filled with the breath of capital. From planning to production, it is first-class in the industry. There are scripts for MV production and trailers. Today they are mainly discussing the shooting schedule and the next theme of the group variety show. It would be boring to just play games in the dormitory, so they have to shoot outdoor scenes. Where should they go for outdoor scenes?

Is it better abroad? Jeju Island or Kagoshima...

"Let's go to the planetarium," Kim Seung Hyuk said, "Our group is based on the concept of planets."

"It might be boring," Xiao Yu said. "We have to listen to the commentator all the time. We just listen and there are no effective shots."

"How about going to a place where we can see the stars and camping and chatting at night?" Yin Donghao said.

Good ideas were born.

A week passed, and they received dance and vocal lessons from professional teachers this week, and also filmed the album concept trailer, which was basically studio shooting because they had to make special effects for interstellar travel. The finished film of the first episode of the group variety show was given to them for review. Che Zaixun was particularly concerned about the naked sleeping scene, fortunately it was not added in the later stage, but when they woke up early in the morning in the three-person room, the camera could clearly capture someone with naked upper body.

Xia Xinglang insists on posting messages on Paopao every day and updating his selfies five times a week. He is the most active member of the team. He also recorded a good morning video and a wake-up ringtone for his fans.

: Xiaolang said that he wanted to make the monthly package worthwhile, and I think it is really worth it.

: Every time the phone message notification sound is a bubble

: Fifty comments in a week, fifteen selfies, wow, he also likes the fans' comments

: Other idols don’t even have 50 posts a year

: I renewed my subscription

Next up, the first episode of the group variety show, ＜Jup1ter New Run!＞ will be released at 11pm on Friday, November 20th!

The first episode of the group variety show started with everyone packing their luggage. Xia Xinglang introduced a bunch of mini albums he bought and T-shirts autographed by idols. The fans were very happy to see this and finally they were able to absorb energy from their idols. Everyone arrived at the dormitory one after another, began to assign rooms, and went to the supermarket together to buy ingredients to cook hot pot.

It was a dull episode of the group variety show. There were no games, just daily life in the dormitory. One of the few highlights was when Xia Xinglang took bubbles and talked about selfie techniques: "Everyone, the first thing to do when taking a selfie is to choose the right light! Lighting is very important, because it is also needed on the stage. Without light, no one can see me..."

: The child talks a lot in private, so cute

: Bubble updates very frequently

"It looks better to take pictures in front of a mirror than with a front camera, and it looks more photogenic." Xia Xinglang began to explain, "Brother Zaixun, can you show me how?"

"No," Che Zaixun hurried by, "I need to take a shower after dancing practice."

"Xiaolang-kun, let me show you." Hanayamain Eiji is always supportive, "Or you can take a picture of me and make me look better."

"I will!"

During the dormitory allocation process, Xia Xinglang was in a group with Huashanyuan Yingzhi and Che Zaixun.

: The dormitory is so small, 7 people in rooms, it's hard for the children

: If you live too well, you will be scolded by fans of other clubs.

The first episode of the group variety show has ended. In the eyes of fans, an hour passed very quickly. The time spent with idols through the screen is always very short. At the end, everyone was wearing new clothes, baseball style, and Xia Xinglang was wearing a baseball cap: "We are going to shoot a photo album, everyone is looking forward to it."

"Please look forward to it." Yin Donghao pulled down his goggles.

"See you soon." Kim Seung Hyuk waved towards the camera, "Did everyone watch the live broadcast?"

The camera turns to Eiji Hanayamain who is being filmed. At this time, the background music is added with the prelude of the new song, piano, orchestra, and violin.

: Debut song so soon

: I can't tell what type of prelude it is.

: Based on the concept of planets, should we start singing from the Big Bang?

Fans started digging for details from the group variety show, because big companies like C-company like to play mysterious things before the trailer. There is even a clear difference between the preview and the main song released a week before the debut song. The preview is a fraud! Fans are no longer surprised. The fans of each company are of course most concerned about their own children. For groups that debuted through talent shows, group fans are scarce. Apart from this, the most talked-about are the comments of other fans.

: Why don't the family of three live together?

: Xiaolang and Huashanyuan live together, Hualang lives forever

: Hehe, not as good as a hair of Chenghao and Xunlin

: What is the CP name of Syaoran and Seunghyup? Golden Wolf?

: Harmony star combination

: Father and son group, orange wolf group [orange emoji + wolf head emoji]

: Is our Captain Seung Hyup an old father?

: Who is the oldest in the team? It should be Hong Jang-rim. Kim Seung-hyuk is actually quite small.

: What is the name of the combination of Donghao and Xiaolang? May I ask if it is Eastern Star?

: Bright stars, bright stars!

After intensive self-searching, Xia Xinglang discovered that the combination of him and Che Zaixun hardly caused any discussion. The first episode of the group variety show was about their happy dormitory life. They also ate hot pot together. Eating hot pot cannot be a gay show, right? Does he have to feed him mouth to mouth? No one would want to see that kind of scene.

He has to make a good plan for selling homosexuality. First of all, it has to be released through the official account channel. It does not specify live broadcast, tweet or other methods. Think about it, what channel can easily gain millions of likes?

Short videos and live broadcasts: short videos are widely spread and have many passers-by; live broadcasts are long and fans can like them repeatedly. It is almost impossible to get millions of likes on a tweet. Even if they have millions of fans, they will not get millions of likes, after all, not every fan will pay close attention to their account dynamics.

These days, Xia Xinglang has been observing Che Zaixun, but the chances are slim. Maybe Che Zaixun is just a straight man and can't act gay at all. He always walks with Hong Zhanglin. These two former teammates eat together, practice together, and go back to the dormitory side by side. There is no chance for them to get close to each other.

Through his previous experiences of being gay, he has two detailed plans. The first is the live broadcast of the group variety show, in which he will hug, rub and stick to Che Zaixun more often. The second is the dance challenge in the short video. As long as he can find a way to do some small moves with Che Zaixun, it should not be difficult to get over a million likes.

Red exclamation marks began to flash before my eyes.

[It is detected that the progress of the task is zero, there is no intimate behavior, and the mandatory task has been started!

Please meet the intimacy conditions within one day!

Designated person: Che Zaixun

Mission objective: The account’s interactive content reaches one million likes.

Please reach the goal within the time limit, otherwise you will be punished and the mission reward will be cleared!

If I don’t sell homosexuality, I will die. Countdown: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds…】

This was the first time Xia Xinglang received a system warning, but how could he complete the intimate task and reach a million likes within 24 hours? This was impossible, but he had to act. So far he didn't know what the system punishment meant, and maybe he would really die if he didn't sell homosexuality.

Che Zaixun was eating alone today, and Xia Xinglang sat next to him: "Brother Zaixun, can we take a photo together?"

"No." Che Zaixun lowered his head to eat. Xia Xinglang watched him eat boiled chicken breast salad. "Is it delicious?"

Cha Jae-hun stabbed the romaine lettuce with a fork: "It tastes terrible. I'm in a bad mood."

With a click, the photo was uploaded to Bubble.

Che Zaixun: "Hey!"

Xia Xinglang: "Let's improve our relationship."

Cha Jae-hun ignored him: "It was a limited group for two years, and they disbanded after only a few comebacks. What kind of feelings are there?"

"How can you say that!?" Xia Xinglang looked quite hurt. "Let's get along well. After all, we sleep in the same room."

"Xiaolang, maybe you really want to get along well with everyone," Cha Jae-hun poked the chicken breast with a fork expressionlessly, "but I also have difficulties. If I integrate into the new group too quickly, how will my former teammates' fans look at me?"

"They'll say you're very adaptable and a genius idol!"

"...They will say I am ungrateful and an ungrateful person."

"Wolf is in my name."

"I'm not talking about you," Che Zaixun was so amused by him, "Zhang Lin and I didn't really believe that we would debut again. This is something I didn't dare to think about before, but it has already happened."

"Let me tell you one thing. The dormitory in my previous company was much worse than this one. The soundproofing was also poor. At the worst, I could only sleep for two hours," Che Zaixun looked at him sideways, "or we would go back to the company's dance studio to sleep. When the schedule was the busiest and most tiring, we could only rest and sleep on the plane, but we still made it through, so I want to cherish this time and reduce disputes."

Xia Xinglang wanted to tell about his own even more miserable experiences, but he held back the words.

"Little Wolf," Che Zaixun said, "Are we friends?"

"Of course." Xia Xinglang said, the kind of good friend who can sell homosexuality.

“Don’t tell anyone else that I spoke ill of the company,” Che Jae-hoon said. “Our previous company was very strict.”

"Terminate the contract," Xia Xinglang said, "Cancel the artist contract with the company."

“Who will pay the penalty?”

"I'll give you the money I saved," Xia Xinglang said, sincerely wanting to help. "It's not much, but we'll split the money equally."

“The company will definitely file a lawsuit,” Cha Jae-hoon said, “It’s too difficult to win the company now.”

Xia Xinglang thought about the time in his previous life when Hong Zhanglin sued the company. He wondered what Che Zaixun would think when he saw the news at that time, and whether he would feel pity and regret for his other possibility, which was originally his life.

"We can just buy out Brother Zaixun's original company," Xia Xinglang said, "together with Brother Zhang Lin."

"..."

Che Zaixun burst out laughing: "Thank you, how long will it take for the three of us to work?"

"Brother Zaixun, believe it or not," Xia Xinglang said, "we will be famous."
