Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Forum Body丨So-called Girl Group School

Unlike Quan Zhilong's entanglement, Quan Xingai eats and drinks as she pleases, and never takes anything to heart. Although he felt a moment of regret after sleeping with his old lover, second time is familiar, and what happened during the day was definitely the result of his own indulgence. Since he has already slept with her, there is no point in thinking too much.

She rested at home for three days and even made a video call with Park Jin-ri. She and her good friend Hara live in the countryside of Kagoshima, the southernmost part of Japan, and live a leisurely life.

"This new song is doing amazing! I knew you'd be fine!"

"Thank you, unnie. Are you doing well in Kagoshima?"

"Don't worry, no one knows our current address except you. We are safe and quiet, a quietness we haven't felt in a long time."

The two girls in the video were completely without makeup, wearing yukatas and preparing to go to the hot springs. There was light snow in the sky. It was a countryside with few tourists, and the video looked quiet and peaceful.

Quan Xingai didn’t know what had happened to them, as long as she could find inner peace, she would be happy. She didn’t want to see girls in their prime gradually fade away.

"That's good. I'll come play with you guys when I'm done with this."

"Xing'ai, school is about to start. We follow the news in Korea very closely. We saw that you are not only in the top 1% in terms of grades, but you were also admitted to Seoul National University! You are amazing!" Park Jinri smiled widely. Xing'ai felt that what the media and magazines said in the past was right. She is indeed a peach on earth.

"I've only heard Zhenli say that next time Xing Aixi comes to Kagoshima, we should have a good drink." Hela also spoke up.

"Yes, don't worry, I will fly here for vacation when I am free." Quan Xingai felt that she should take a good look at her schedule and take some time to relax in Kagoshima.

After hanging up the video, she received several more messages, one from Quan Zhilong and the other from Song Kang.

"Sorry, I've had a lot of things to deal with these past few days. Let's talk about this next week. Don't try to avoid it!" Quan Xingai glanced at him and replied, "Yes, we'll talk about it after you finish your work."

Fuyan Literature's all-star love has been taken to the extreme. As for Song Jiang's information—

[Are you going to school soon? Let's go out for dinner to celebrate your Gaokao and your return score.]

[Come on, tell me the address.] After Quan Xingai replied to Song Kang, she received another message from Chi Mingzhen, telling her about her January schedule. It was mostly commercials and magazine shoots, and she didn't want variety shows because Quan Xingai was afraid that if she let herself go too much, she wouldn't be able to live up to the excellent student image the company had given her.

She let out a long sigh. The busy second half of the year was finally over, but she felt that there would be many more busy things in the future, such as the new album. Just one hit song would only make RD a shooting star. If she wanted to make money and retire, she would need at least a few more hit albums.

Oh my god, several albums! But luckily, the idol profession doesn’t have many other things, but it has the most stage performances, and Quan Xing Ai happens to love the stage the most. She thinks that for the sake of the stage, she can fight for RD’s album and concert again!

By the way, after replying to Chi Mingzhen's message, Song Chang also sent me his address. It's 12pm at a barbecue restaurant. This time, we're not drinking, but actually having a meal. Which is good, Quan Xingai has been having trouble with alcohol lately.

After a round of socializing, Quan Xingai found that she must have been pua by the K-pop environment. In her previous life, she only released 5 albums in 15 years. Now, after staying in K-Pop for half a year, she wanted to go back to the company to practice dancing.

She sighed deeply, and finally changed her clothes and went back to the company. The market liked the concept of this comeback single. Next time, she could discuss with Mike to further elevate the concept of the villain. It doesn't have to be a villain. They can go for other styles and integrate their personal style and creative ideas into the K-pop girl group. Simple sweet songs or simple dance music are easy to get boring. Only voices and songs with texture will become classics.

Perhaps she is indeed a little arrogant. After the fusion of her East Asian background and European and American upbringing, she always wants to better combine the two.

Although she entered the company in a low-key manner, the fans at the door saw her as anything but low-key. It's only the beginning of the new year, and everyone else is off work, but Jeon Seong-ae is back at the company, hard at work! Sure enough, my sister is the only one working silently, right? RIOT DOLLS' rise to fame can only be down to the leader! Is this crappy company even okay? Why hasn't Sarah been given any credit? Everyone else has variety shows, but why is Sarah only on Weekly Idol with the group?

"Ouni, don't work too hard. It's so cold on New Year's Day, are you still going back to work?"

"Sarah, ahhh, my wife, I love you ahhhh"

"Girl, don't be too thin!"

"Don't fall in love, Sarah! Even love needs to be found upwards! Don't help the poor!"

When Quan Xingai arrived at the company's gate by taxi, he saw fans gathered outside the gate even in the middle of winter. They were wrapped in down jackets, holding honeycomb cheering sticks, and holding many beautiful handwritten letters in their hands.

"Hey, it's so cold, let's not gather here. Let's go to the cafe across the street, have a drink and then go home." Quan Xingai felt embarrassed when he saw a group of young children waiting in the cold wind just because they wanted to see their idol.

They regard Quanxingai as their dream, but Quanxingai only thinks about lying down and retiring. Even if they work hard, it is just to make more money and achieve financial freedom as soon as possible. They always feel that this is different from the popular route in their previous life. These young girls have passion and yearning in their eyes, and they want to become Quanxingai.

At this moment, she began to think about what kind of Sarah All-Star Love she wanted her fans to feel, and how she could strike a balance between being herself and being an idol.

It was so complicated and difficult. After entering the company, Quan Xingai did not continue to think about it but called the manager of the coffee shop across the street and asked them to deliver hot coffee to the fans at the company's door.

*Forum Body*

Title: Does the rise of the conscientious knife group depend on the knife 2

Content: A bit of a shot, Blade 2 gave the other three people a chance for nearly three years but they failed to catch up. Now Blade 2 has made a slight effort and has once again taken the curve to become the second in popularity. She just has too little material and too many scandals, otherwise it would be easy for her to surpass Yin Yanzhen.

1L: Are you okay? When did Blade 2 become the second most popular? Didn't the youngest member make a comeback from the back? The variety shows she participated in were quite interesting. Last year, her YouTube dance show really gained her a lot of fans.

2L: It’s just a fantasy of an iron back… The young lady didn’t do anything, but relied on her own connections to star in I Live Alone and gained a lot of fans.

3L: How come the bottom 1 and bottom 2 are fighting each other? It’s so funny. You assume that Blade 2 is the top 2 in popularity, right?

4L: There are only 4 of us in total, so it’s normal that the rap leader in the girl group is very popular.

5L: But it’s rare to see a backup dancer. Park Geum-moon is such a loser.

6L: It’s so funny. Kim Eun-mi debuted with a big sister persona, but ended up working for a small 18th-tier company called Neo. If you’re so awesome, why don’t you go to SM? Oh, SM stands for Flower Field. Your sister is so ugly.

7L: Take Yanzhen away, you guys fight slowly, the big top will not participate in the fight.

8L: Help! It’s only because Quan Xing Ai is not in good shape that she got lucky. Otherwise, how could her weak rap be so exaggerated?

9L: Let’s see how popular they are this time. It is said that Virus is going to release an EP, which will include the two songs from their comeback in the first half of the year and the best-performing Virus. I’m really looking forward to it. Who will overtake Virus this time?

10L: Evil Girl Virus is the main hit, and it’s obvious that Blade 2 is going to make a comeback. Who wouldn’t fall in love with her after watching the Gayo Daejeon stage…

11L: Who would have thought that Blade 2's comeback would be so exaggerated... Come on, that's Seoul University, okay? How can the others compare?

12L: Yes, yes, yes. She has more scandals than any other actresses. Sometimes she seduced GD, sometimes she seduced someone with nephritis. Oh, and there is also Song Kang who is as obscure as her. She did a lot of scandals and even after returning to fame, she is still an 18th-tier actress, sister.

13L: Someone with the explosive knife skills is going to have an awesome endorsement.

14L: Nike, I went to the Nike New Year’s Eve party a few days ago, I went there by sneaking into the cage, can I win a title this time?

15L: You’re overthinking it. Nike has never given idols any titles. They’re just advertising models…

16L: Who hasn’t been cracked by the advertisements and ground advertisements of first-line brands? It turns out that you are a fan of useless teammates. I laughed.

17L: Then let’s look forward to our 4yong1’s Dao2 winning the title of Nike’s global spokesperson.

18L: Thank you for the venomous words above. If you keep saying something foul, your sister should do more to ask for more parts.

…

Riot Dolls' fall from third-tier to second-tier status was initially met with a fan war. Previously, the group was obscure, and the fanbase was pitifully small. Since their resurgence, the first thing that has blossomed is fan clubs. Previously, there was only one, pitiful one, but after their debut performance, which attracted millions of followers, fan clubs have sprung up like mushrooms.

Even Quan Xingai, who doesn't know much about the K-pop fan circle, has seen several of her personal stations on IG, and she has also liked photos and direct shots from several stations.

In the afternoon, she asked the coffee shop to deliver coffee, and her fans posted the photo on social media right after.

[Ouni's heart-warming coffee, what an angel on earth is this! ]

【Master Tomie, I will always submit to you! 】

[Wow, sister is so nice, a treasure girl! ]

Quan Xingai was contentedly scrolling through her phone in the studio when she saw the fan war on the forum. But her focus was: an EP was coming out? How could she not know?

While thinking about this, I went to the practice room to find Chi Mingzhen.

"Unnie, are we going to release a mini album?"

"Where did you see it?" Chi Mingzhen was not surprised, but asked curiously.

"Fans are fighting on the forum..."

"Ah, that, although it hasn't been announced yet, it's basically decided to release an EP. We didn't actually plan to do so originally, but the comeback single performed very well this time. But it's still early for the new album, so the company will release the news and use the internet trolls to hype it up on the forum to see what everyone thinks." Chi Mingzhen said as if it was nothing unusual.

"Ah? So we were actually the ones who set the pace for that quarreling section?" Quan Xing Ai had never been in a girl group, so she didn't know how wonderful the various girl groups were.

"What's so strange about this? Only by stimulating everyone's fighting spirit and making them want to outdo others can we achieve greater sales."

"..." Quan Xingai blinked, thinking, the idol economy is really interesting, it's a completely standardized process. "So, in order to stimulate sales, do we need to actively create some palace fights? Do I need the materials from the idols themselves?"

Jeon Seol-jung, who participated in various variety shows full of drama such as 'America's Next Top Model' and 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' in her previous life, asked Chi Mingzhen enthusiastically.

"You...you should just focus on your creations and starting school. You know, fans' eyes and imaginations are very sharp. They can make up a whole TV series on their own if you don't tell them. You don't have much material now, and your fans are about to blow up the company's email inbox with complaints, but this is the effect we want. Only when the four of you are equally popular will they argue with each other about who is the strongest." Chi Mingzhen smiled meaningfully.

Quan Xingai had a look of having learned something, and then asked foolishly, "What if I'm the best?"

Chi Mingzhen tapped her head and said, "I couldn't ask for more. Please become 'Sarah Quan Zhilong' as soon as possible and lead the company to great heights."

Quan Xingai smiled, rode away, and said, "Forget it..."

"Popularity is something that cannot be forced. Forget it. I am not born to be the kind of person who competes for the first place. I will just let popularity go with the flow." Quan Xingai waved her hand, not paying attention to Chi Mingzhen's hesitation.

It's great that Xing Ai is back in form, but the problem now is how she fell into the other extreme. It seems that she has no desire to strive for success at all. Being an idol is like punching a clock in at work. When she is at work, she works hard and does her job well. After get off work, don't expect her to do any more...
