Chapter 13 Chapter 13 The Return of the Sweetheart (including the unethical...
Quan Xingai opened the link and saw that RD's latest Instagram post had already surpassed 600,000 likes, up from the 300,000 or so he saw that evening. Perhaps tomorrow's official Instagram post will even have over a million likes, but it seems they're all just watching the fun. Quan Xingai's account doesn't follow Quan Zhilong, so she could only search for the user who liked the post, and she discovered that this guy actually liked it without a care.
Click on the comments below, and you will see that apart from a few messages from fans at the beginning, the rest of the comments are just there to watch the show.
【Strong onlookers! 】
[It’s so lively, there are so many people! ]
[The first thing I did after leaving the army was to like the girl group]
【Absolute, absolutely amazing】
However, judging by the situation, it seems that the fun-loving crowd still has the upper hand, as they're all just there to watch the show. To this, All Star Love said, "Momomomo!" Please just release more press releases so that everyone in Korea knows about this. It's already great, so why not use it as data for them?
"Wow, the data is really different after the seniors gave the likes, the traffic is so good!" The teammates also browsed the content vigorously with their mobile phones.
"I'd be happy if I could have such good numbers every time I come back."
"It was only because GD Sunbae suddenly liked it that I was able to catch up. During the day, I was still complaining about why they chose to release the trailer today, but then it happened that Sunbae was discharged from the military, and all the hot news was about him."
While her teammates chattered, Quan Xingai remained calm, not resisting the netizens' speculations as she had before. She felt that she couldn't let go of this huge amount of traffic that was now in her hands. "We should call Hyun-ho."
"Why are you calling? It's already late at night." Yin Yan was really curious.
"Tell the company not to miss this wave of wealth. A major media release will be arranged tomorrow. There will always be curious people who will come to see our preview." Quan Xingai's mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
“…” The teammates were silent for a moment, then rushed over and suppressed Quan Xingai.
"Is Xing Ai Ni now on the path of a goddess of vengeance? Her mentality is completely different from before!"
"Oh Mo, are you really okay?"
"It's okay, but - actually I'm a little tired of the entertainment industry. I want to retire early, so I have to make more money. The more money I make, the more famous I will be. When I think about this, I feel infinite power." Quan Xingai said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
The teammates nodded seriously, and Jin Enmei said, "Indeed, I have been advising you to be more open-minded before. The only reliable thing is to make money. Now you have finally come to your senses."
"No wonder you look like a different person now. It's about making money. I totally agree and understand!" Park Jinwen nodded in agreement.
"If you become famous, just look at the number on this bank card and you can pretend not to see those negative comments." Yin Yanzhen also smiled.
"Yeah, yeah, I want to buy a big mansion, I want to have lots of money every day just lying down, I want to retire and work hard to retire early." Quan Xingai clenched his fist.
The four members of the third-rate girl group began to fantasize about becoming famous and getting rich in the dormitory. Quan Xingai sent a text message to Wu Xianhao using the news that GD liked to promote. The other party replied with a surprised emoticon on Kakao, and after a long while he sent an OK gesture and an expression of admiration.
By the next morning, the number of views of the trailer for Quan Xing Ai Go to Tutorial Class had indeed exceeded 2 million. She searched the news -
"Nuclear explosion! GD's first thing after leaving the military - like her"
RIOT DOLLS's comeback? New single trailer surpasses 1.5 million views on YouTube in less than 24 hours
Just a mistake? GD liked Sarah's comeback video, still not canceled
Exclusive! The story behind Kwon Ji-yong and Jeon Byul-ae's love affair rumors
SNS Bomb! Sarah waited 3 years and finally got GD's like and love.
"Will Witch Sarah be able to pass the college entrance examination this year?"
There is only one company red article mixed in with a bunch of messy and sarcastic headlines, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the news focuses on them, whether positive or negative, it’s fine.
With the launch of New Day's early eight members, not only is the number of plays of the trailer increasing rapidly, but RIOT DOLLS's popular debut song and highly acclaimed debut album are also slowly climbing to the bottom of the listening charts, while Kwon Ji-Dragon's hit songs are pushed to the forefront by the Korean people. If the two of them had the legendary CPF, they might even shed a few crocodile tears because of the charts across the galaxy.
Jeon Seong-ae thought about it and clicked on her personal Instagram account, which she had opened only last year. Three years after RD debuted, the company had opened individual accounts. Of course, Jeon Seong-ae only had the original account, and she had the fewest followers of the other members, so she hadn't even thought about it in the past two months.
[RD_SARAH: Fight! 11.30.18:00 Witch Appointment]
She posted a fisheye shot taken from overhead, tilting her head slightly to reveal her lower pubic area. The photo was obscured by a slew of garbled filters, making it look like a Japanese-themed photoshoot by Mika Kanakawa. It's actually quite nice, but Quan Xing Ai's sudden update at this time hit the nail on the head with the gossip. Her update, the first in years, and coming after last night's "like" incident, reignited the gossip.
Is Sarah so confident this time? Has GD's comeback boosted her confidence?
[How shameless! Didn't you say purple clay? How does this look like it?]
[Wow, that's amazing! She even cueed "Witch" herself.]
[If you ask me, mothers of male babies, please stop being so mean. This is a rumor from years ago, and your brother liked the post himself.]
[Wait and see if GD will like this post? ]
[This is crazy! Idols these days are incredible. Are they going to fight back head-on?]
【To be honest, the trailer is quite exciting! 】
[I absolutely love this horror-themed story. I'm looking forward to it. Don't let me down, Dao.]
[You're actually looking forward to Dao's single? Aren't all Dao's songs purchased from various producers of various major companies...]
[Let's make a bet on whether Blade 2 will lag behind this time.]
【Knife 1 is about to drag the plane again. 】
[Don't laugh your ass off above, the rap debut of Blade 1 wasn't as good as Blade 2's the year it debuted, and it only rose to prominence after Blade 2 faltered] (Note: Blade 1 is Yoon Yeon-jin, Blade 4 is Park Jin-moon)
[How can the Knife Group still argue? Isn't the reason they still have fans now just because of Knife 1 and Knife 4 and the few remaining Knife hairs?]
[The Blade group is also interesting. Blade 1, Yoon Yeon-jin, used to be an underground rapper. She's actually quite talented, but she's not very interesting. However, she's relied on her rapping and fan base to stay in the top spot in popularity. Blade 3, Kim Eun-mi, comes from a wealthy family and is a decent singer, but she's not at the top of the girl group. However, her sometimes careless words on variety shows are quite amusing. Blade 4, who's called the dance leader, is actually only promoted because the group didn't have the best talent. She still relies on her fans to play her down, always saying she's poor, but now she's in the top two in popularity. Finally, Blade 2, "All Stars Love You, All Stars Love You," I had high hopes for you, but I was disappointed later. You were positioned as the face of the group, and you became a huge star upon debut. Even a purple star like you can be knocked down by a scandal, and your previous advantages are gone.]
[I can’t criticize the above, I really followed this! ]
As the only remaining fan of the star online, I just want to say that it really wasn't easy for her. She was really sick in the middle of the year. She only stayed in the hospital for two days because she was afraid people would find out. She rested in the dorm for less than a week before continuing to practice. I can responsibly say that this time she's definitely made a comeback. She's in great shape now, and all the staff at Neo have a new appreciation for her.
[Yue, the story of "my sister works very hard", "this time it's a real comeback", "I'm impressed", the story of "the boy who cried wolf" doesn't work anymore. The phrase "hard work" is no longer popular these days.]
[But you changed your style this time. It’s finally not the boring girl crush copy of BLACKPINK.]
[By the way, RD debuted half a year earlier than BP, and they are also a senior group, so it is still unclear who copied whom.]
【Then I have something to say】
[In fact, Dao and Mo are just similar concepts that passersby think, but they are actually completely different. Mo is the consistent style of Jishe, while Dao is not the girl crush route. Their concept is rebellion and deconstructing the "well-behaved gaze" of East Asian girls. They use the rebellious core of music to tear apart the sweet appearance. The explosive popularity of their debut proved the success of the concept, but it is a pity that Soul Ace has never recovered.]
[You're here again. I can see you were once a true fan. The deeper your love, the more you criticize.]
[After all, will this new single be successful? ]
…
All of Star Love watched the entire thing. Fight and argue as much as you want, but it doesn't matter if expectations are lowered. After all, this RD is truly a fresh attempt at a super transformation. The entire company is full of confidence, and naturally, she, the lead producer, is also full of confidence.
Compared with the lofty ambitions of Quanxingai, Long Benlong, the person who liked the post in the middle of the night, was being "criticized" by Yang Xianshuo.
"Zhilong, what's going on with you and RD? Isn't it just a rumor? Why did you go and like their comeback trailer in the middle of the night?"
"I just thought the concept short film was well shot." The day after his discharge from the army, Quan Zhilong, who was supposed to be on vacation at home, was called back to the company by President Yang. He was lazy and listless.
"Forget it, it's all praise. Although Moon Eun-joo is a chaebol, Neo is just a small company, and RD is not really a competitor right now. You don't have any private dealings with Sarah, do you?"
"I don't even know him..." Quan Zhilong felt helpless about President Yang's panic.
"That's good. The company plans to hype up a scandal between you and your junior sister. Now is a critical moment for the survival of Waiji. The popularity of the junior sister group is more important. Zhilong, you can understand, right?"
"Why do you come back to discuss this kind of thing with me? I don't like this kind of news." Quan Zhilong frowned and was a little unhappy.
"You are also a veteran of Waiji. You don't want to see a company like your own collapse. It's just a seemingly true scandal. There's nothing out of the ordinary." Yang Xianshuo used both reason and emotion to persuade the other party.
Quan Zhilong didn't say anything. He didn't want to make things awkward with President Yang. After thinking for a while, he said, "I agree to discuss the contract renewal, but I don't want to do the hype."
President Yang was also silent for a while, then said, "Zhilong, you have been in the company for so many years. Isn't it natural to renew your contract? I will reconsider the hype and make arrangements later."
The meeting ended in a bland manner and seemed to have made no progress. Kwon Ji-yong left the president's office and paused as he passed by his production room. This was the place where he had spent the longest time in the past ten years. He wrote many songs here, had many inspirations, and had deep feelings... Alas, Kwon Ji-yong sighed softly, pressed the elevator button, went downstairs and left the company.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, he would not think of changing companies.
As for last night's like, Kwon Ji-yong did it on purpose. He saw the trailer for RD's comeback and the concept film was indeed very interesting. He also recognized at a glance that the girl who first appeared and picked up the love letter was Jeon Byul-ae, the girl who had been rumored to have an affair with him and suffered an undeserved disaster. She also had the same name as Sarah Noona...
He was indeed a little sorry for his attitude when they met last time, so he simply liked the post on purpose to add fuel to the fire of their comeback. Sure enough, the preview on YouTube had already reached 5 million views in 48 hours, which was better than the data of all their videos in the past three years.
He opened his phone and surfed the web skillfully, then a smile of understanding and relief appeared on his face.
"Why do you have that expression? Are you looking at - ah, this person -" Kwon Ji-yong, who had already arrived at the gym, just sat on the equipment without moving. His good friend Lee Joo-hyuk, who had already finished a round of exercise, wiped the sweat off his face and walked closer to see his good friend who had just been discharged from the army holding a mobile phone with a bright smile on his face. He leaned over to see that it was a photo of a girl, who was the Jeon Star Love that was popular in the news recently.
"I laugh at this guy, he's really smart. This time he finally knows how to make use of the traffic." Quan Zhilong smiled and didn't click the like button randomly this time.
"Did you give that like on purpose?" Li Zhuhe raised his eyebrows.
"Is this a bit of compensation? She's been hounded and discussed by the media for so many years, and the group hasn't been very popular."
"Tsk tsk, I thought you were interested in her."
Quan Zhilong rolled his eyes and said, "Me? You think too much. This woman is not simple now. She is sharp-tongued and won't suffer any loss." Although Quan Zhilong felt sorry for Quan Xingai, when he thought of the guy's disrespectful tone and the side profile of him smoking, he felt that how could it be possible. Although the other party reminded him of Sarah and smoked the same brand as Sarah, the other party was not his style. Don't think he can't see that the other party is just trying to attract his attention.
Li Zhuhe smiled and said nothing. He looked at the photo posted by RD_SARAH on his friend's phone. His delicate, doll-like face was captured by the fisheye lens, and his eyes, with their sclera, were staring straight at the camera...
She is indeed a pretty child, but her appearance is definitely not something Zhilong would like at first sight.
Time passed slowly, and the great success of the first wave of trailers made the second wave of audition trailers destined to attract everyone's attention, not to mention that after the audition trailers would be the college entrance examination of love for all the stars.
In mid-November, all the teammates and the agent sent Quan Xingai to the examination room. After two months of cramming, Quan Xingai herself did not feel any pressure. If she could not get into Seoul National University, she could first go to any other university and take the postgraduate entrance examination before going to Seoul National University. Moreover, the girl's original solid basic skills, combined with Quan Xingai's knowledge reserves and language talent before rebirth, she felt that she might be able to perform beyond her level this time.
"Come on, Xingai!"
"Don't be nervous, you can just perform as usual!"
"Come out tonight and let's have a big dinner together!"
Quan Xingai waved her hand and complained: "A grass feast? Oh, it's okay, I'm really not nervous. Okay, I'm leaving." After that, she put on a hat and walked into the examination room in a low-key manner.
With few major bands returning this month, RIOT DOLLS has been getting a lot of headlines. Apparently, the media knew today was the All Star Love exam day, so they were ready to snap photos outside the venue. Half an hour later, "All Star Love enters the exam room lightly equipped" and "All Star Love looks relaxed, are they sure to win?" were all over the news and entertainment sections, with comments ranging from gossip-mongering to shocking.
The Korean college entrance exam is only one day long, but it lasts all day because she also took a second foreign language course. By the time Quan Xingai came out, it was already close to 7pm. Back in the car, she was in good spirits. She had finally accomplished something big. The college entrance exam was successfully completed. She felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. She needed to sleep for at least three days and three nights.
"Oh yes, I didn't pay attention before because of the exam. How was our audition clip?" After closing her eyes and resting for a while, Quan Xingai suddenly sat up and asked Wu Xianhao and Ji Mingzhen who came to pick her up.
Hearing the girl's question, the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Don't worry, everyone's response to this audition was unexpectedly positive. I think the MV trailer and producer announcement the day after tomorrow will definitely shock the whole country." Wu Xianhao was full of confidence this time.
"Everyone thinks it is a completely different style from the past. Most of the listeners chose it as good and worth looking forward to." Chi Mingzhen nodded and then spoke.
"That's good...Ouni, please take me home. I want to sleep peacefully. Don't call me." Before she finished speaking, Quan Xingai had already fallen asleep. Even when they went home, Wu Xianhao carried her upstairs. Ji Mingzhen put her on the bed and looked at the girl's sweet sleeping face with an auntie smile.
Everything is going well.
