Chapter 108
That afternoon, TP had a hotpot meal together at home after a long absence.
Ai Qingyuan and Zou Yi were responsible for selecting the food, Fu Wenzhe and Jie Xichao were responsible for cooking the food, and Yun Pan was responsible for editing the short essays on Weibo. A long and eloquent paragraph in the essay is immersed in the hot steam of the hot pot.
There is also a recording in the evening, so everyone has juice on hand.
Before the meal started, Zou Yi raised his glass, juice sloshing around, and said, "Cheers to everyone."
Xie Xichao clinked glasses with him and said with a smile, "Cheers to this world that seems to be pretty good to us."
The cups collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
They enjoyed the joy and happiness for a brief moment, and then rushed to the next journey.
After the sound source, it’s the sales volume.
If music charts are used to prove whether a band has broken through its circle, then album sales are a clear test of die-hard fans. However, at this point, neither fans nor passers-by showed any concern.
Die-hard fans are almost a non-issue for a boy band that was born out of voting.
They just look forward to it.
Being ranked first on the daily charts is already a miracle, and now no one doubts that this boy band is at the peak of its popularity at this moment. They are just guessing what kind of record TP will create in its strong point of sales since it can win the daily championship despite the generally weak music sources of boy bands.
——It’s not a record, it’s a miracle.
On the day when the official sales chart was updated, the term #TP sales directly became a hot search, with fans and passers-by going crazy.
"Mr. Duo??? Did I see an extra zero???"
"6.28 million! Where did you print the money?! Tell me and I won't tell anyone!"
"Too awesome... This sales volume can be exaggerated to the point of disbanding. Debuting is already the pinnacle of others' lives. Is this what a talent show group is like?"
"6.28 million, 4 million were sold in pre-sale, which means more than 2 million were bought by passers-by after the debut. The die-hard fans and passers-by's popularity are amazing... This group is truly phenomenal."
“Congratulations to TP for breaking the [historical record of the official sales chart since its inception] and [historical record of the first sales of idol groups of all generations] with 6.28 million sales, winning the daily championship on the music chart in six days, becoming the [third male group of the entire generation to win the daily championship on their debut] and breaking the [fastest daily championship record for a male group]. Sales and music are making history, let’s TP! Fly high!”
Gorgeous and grand.
This is the truest feeling of all TP fans.
Just like in the MV, each member of TP fell from the shining clouds to the mortal world, walked in front of them, and personally presented them with the most precious gifts.
And this gift was created by TP members and them together.
The content of the gift is not only such an impressive achievement, but also the unforgettable memories from this moment on.
-
While the Internet was bustling, the TP people were not idle either.
Along with the debut came a journey that could almost be described as a death journey. In fact, with their achievements, they can basically take the first place in all music programs, including music performance stages, variety show recordings and night radio stations, and it doesn’t matter whether they have broadcast points or not.
However, in order to compensate the fans who had been waiting anxiously during the gap, they still completed all their schedules.
The direct result of the non-stop work was that Jie Xichao, who had experienced time travel countless times, almost vomited on the plane.
They arrived in the early morning again that day, and when Jie Xichao got off the plane, he was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Zou Yi skillfully took the ice water and poured it on everyone's neck, causing a lot of screams.
If Xie Xichao had not been frozen, he would always have privileges with Zou Yi.
He was wearing the hood of his sweatshirt and was led by Zou Yi, trying to wake up while walking. Several people walked out through the VIP channel and saw fans waiting on the roadside when they went out.
Most of the fans were holding the group's cheering sticks, and when they saw them come out, the crowd immediately became agitated. Someone called Jie Xichao's name. Jie Xichao took off his hood and waved at them.
"So early." He said with a smile.
"It's the finale." The fans shouted, "Of course I want to see you!"
In a blink of an eye, it has been a month since TP debuted. These days, TP's sound sources and sales have unsurprisingly remained at a very stable level.
In terms of music sources, it won the daily championship for 23 consecutive days, the weekly championship for three weeks, and won the monthly championship that month. And the trend remains unabated.
If nothing unexpected happens, "Gap" will definitely have a place in the year-end music award.
The sound source is so bad, not to mention the sales.
This month, just as predicted, they have taken the top spots on all major TV stations.
Today is the last one.
Good grades.
Both the members and the fans are happy.
While Xie Xichao was chatting with fans, Ai Qingyuan was bickering with fans in the front row.
"Why is it ending so soon? It's almost been a month. Oh my, don't make that expression. It's not like we're disbanding after the ending. Fu Wenze, I warned you not to cover my mouth! Uh, Panpan? It's not Pan, why are you getting taller every day? Can you still grow taller at 19?"
Yun Pan physically punished Ai Qingyuan and handed him over to Fu Wen Ze behind him, then said to the fans very obediently: "It will be the last show today, there will be a surprise for everyone, um... there will be a special stage~"
He just turned 19 a few days ago, and has become more stable, but the ending tone of this sentence is still obviously rising, like a wavy line, which melts the hearts of fans.
A few people walked along the way, and fans walked along the way.
Although there were many people, the atmosphere was very good and there was no crowding.
When they arrived at the nanny car, everyone waved to the fans and got on the car one by one.
*
Almost as soon as he got on the car, Ai Qingyuan began to feel uneasy.
Xie Xichao knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and deliberately said, "I'll call Brother Heng later."
Ai Qingyuan:!
"Fight." He stuttered, "Fight what?"
"Brother Qingyuan, don't you know?" Yun Pan began to speak innocently again, "Brother Guan Heng and his group are debuting this week, and they're releasing their MV on Monday. The results are pretty good. He's promoting with us today, so you'll be able to meet him soon."
Ai Qingyuan: “…”
"You're the only one who talks too much." He said painfully.
Then I thought about it through the window.
Xie Xichao was a little curious: "No, didn't you guys chat in private? Are you treating it like you're meeting an old lover?"
It has to be a non-peaceful breakup.
Well……
It seems to be non-peaceful indeed.
Although it wasn't a breakup, it was still pretty tragic.
As expected, Ai Qingyuan said:
"You don't understand."
Chatting is one thing, meeting is another.
Sometimes, there is some truth in the feeling of being homesick.
Of course, Ai Qingyuan was only slightly anxious. He and Guan Heng had met at the hotpot party before, and had talked about most of the past events. Now he was just having a PTSD attack.
Several people got out of the car and went to the artist lounge.
Sure enough, after a while, Guan Heng and his teammates came knocking on the door.
His teammates were all very outgoing and had long been curious about the gossip about their captain. For a moment, they seemed to have formed a large group, and the lounge was bustling with activity.
As they chatted, they talked about the artists who were promoting songs today.
"Isn't it that Teacher Li's group is also going to come here to promote their song today?" Zou Yi said.
The so-called Teacher Li refers to their female mentor Li Lin during the competition.
After TP became popular, the original "Super Rookie" program also became popular again. Although most of the new fans cursed the program team for being inhumane after watching the show, several mentors still reaped some benefits to a greater or lesser extent.
Sugardream, where Li Lin works, is a good example.
This time, sugardream had just released a pre-release song, so naturally they would come to the scene to promote the song.
"Then let's go and say hello together later." Guan Heng said.
He paused, "And..."
"That." Ai Qingyuan said, "We don't say hello to that."
Guan Heng:.
He laughed: "So crazy?"
Ai Qingyuan forgot about the embarrassment when he encountered something, and curled his lips: "If they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. What's the point of playing if you can't afford to lose?"
-
The so-called "they" by Ai Qingyuan does not refer to others.
It was Newstar whose schedule "just happened" to overlap with TP's before his comeback.
At the beginning, Newstar had made a good plan, thinking that they could debut at the same time as TP and take advantage of the popularity. Even if they really lost, with their strength, they could still fight back with TP and not suffer any loss.
But they never expected that TP would become an instant hit upon debut, leaving them far behind in terms of both music and sales.
On the night of TP's debut, there was talk about the simultaneous comeback of both groups. The next day, after the TP sound source rose straight to less than ten, Newstar completely lost his name.
This is a very scary thing.
Originally, if TP and Newstar debuted at different times, TP's sudden popularity would have an impact on Newstar, but the impact would definitely be smaller than that of Zheng Gang.
Newstar fans were already a little anxious because of the collision, and now they were driven crazy by this act of losing more than they gained.
Just a few days after his return, fans signed a letter to protest against the company.
The company is also in a state of panic.
But the sound source and sales volume cannot be beaten, and the gap is several times larger than before, the kind that cannot be improved even by some tricks. In desperation, the company could only let its members leave the scene to appease the crowd.
During that period, the members' only activities were live broadcasts.
The non-stop work coupled with mental fatigue led to problems.
One time, a teammate was live streaming and forgot to inform others. As a result, everyone heard the quarrel between Newstar’s American CP Fenghua Xue Li that day.
At the scene, the two were not only sarcastic and cold to each other, exposing the fact that they deliberately bumped into TP's debut, but also discredited TP, saying that TP's success was a thorough marketing campaign.
Now, CP fans are going crazy, group fans are going crazy, TP fans...
TP fans are not crazy.
They just covered the square of the two people with Fenghua and Xue Li's "proof of true love", gloating: "Wow - this is the American CP who came out as soon as they debuted, their relationship is really good"
"Wow——This is the innocent NS, so innocent."
"Wow - I don't want to wow, you parallel marketing group, get the hell out of here as far as you can. I don't even want to give you a glance to thank you on this happy day."
In addition, the original Yan Dian voting was also dug up.
The actions that Zheng Yunli personally took part in at the time have now become completely ridiculed, and the voting results at the time also aroused widespread doubts from passers-by.
"Huh??? Are these two comparable?"
"Let me make it clear that although I am not a fan of TP, C's looks are really good. I have watched that crying scene a thousand times. What is this voting for???"
"Too funny... Xie Xichao's looks are so good that they can be seen by everyone. He is really using the reputation of the senior group to bully the juniors, right?"
There is a reason why public opinion has reversed so drastically.
And the reason is not just the popularity of TP.
"Okay, since we want to compare, please look at the pictures [picture] [picture]... Since the two groups returned, they have played 16 songs in total and appeared in the same frame 12 times. Here are the pictures of each time they appeared in the same frame, without filters or retouching. Please comment."
"My evaluation is that Jie Xichao won the game."
"Ahhh my beautiful little baby! How can he be so pretty? He makes the person next to him look even more unbearable!"
That evening, a new vote was released.
With a vote pool of 50,000, Xie Xichao won with a high vote of 48,000, and the original vote was completely lost in the dust of history.
-
This was a one-sided massacre.
No NS fans are in the mood to quarrel with the rivals anymore, let alone compete for appearance. The fact is, it is still unknown whether the so-called rivals will still be rivals in the future. This battle completely damaged NS.
After this battle, NS and TP have completely torn their faces apart.
Since we have already torn our faces apart, there is naturally no need to greet each other privately. Guan Heng was also surfing the Internet and smiled knowingly. Xie Xichao was tired of chatting and stood up: "I'm going to wash my hands."
He left the busy room and headed for the restroom at the end of the corridor.
However, when passing by a certain room, the door was suddenly opened and the person inside walked out and almost bumped into Jie Xichao.
Both of them reacted quickly and gave each other a step. The other quickly whispered "I'm sorry" with a hoarse voice.
It was like she had just been hysterical or crying.
After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.
He raised his head, and Xie Xizhao stared into his eyes for a long while, and finally managed to remember his name:
"Zheng Yunli?"
The other person's expression suddenly turned ugly.
