At 7:50 PM on Friday, sophomore Liang Hao and her three roommates sat in front of their laptops, their screens all displaying the live stream homepage of City A TV's official website. They were all waiting for the latest episode of "Happy Journey," which premiered at 8 PM tonight.
Speaking of that day, she was bored in the dormitory when she suddenly saw a new girl group quickly occupying the hot searches on multiple social platforms. She couldn't help but click on it out of curiosity.
This sight was amazing, and she immediately fell in love with these five young ladies.
After clicking on the first lesson of the video, Liang Hao felt his heart beating faster. These five members are so beautiful and super sparkling!
I didn't expect that, while initially attracted by their looks, I ended up completely hooked on the music video, their singing, and their dancing. I couldn't stop laughing in front of my computer. Especially at the end, when the five members fought their way through obstacles, slaying monsters symbolizing difficulty one after another, to the final Rose Castle, where they sat on the throne and wore rose crowns.
Liang Hao was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
She'd never particularly liked any celebrity before, but this time, curious enough to see so many people following, she clicked in to check it out. Who knew this group was truly so amazing? Every member was so beautiful, and so uniquely beautiful, so confident, and so strong. Even though she'd only watched less than five minutes of the video, the lyrics and the incredibly eye-catching group dance were still fresh in her mind.
Thinking of the five members' exquisite yet sexy looks, their domineering makeup, their constant struggles in the plot, and their lyrics about fighting for themselves, fighting for their friends, and fighting for the girls, they will never give up! Even if it means treading on countless thorns, they will remain the most beautiful and noble Rose Queen.
Liang Hao fell in love with them instantly. It was because of their looks and their matching talents. But more importantly, Liang Hao felt an unprecedented excitement and surge of emotion from five stranger girls she had never met before, all in just one music video.
Be strong. No matter what you set your mind to, you will eventually achieve it. No matter how many setbacks, difficulties, or insults you encounter along the way, you must bravely fight and become your ultimate shining self!
I heard that this Friday night, the mysterious girl group would make their first public appearance on "Happy Journey." Liang Hao, who usually didn't watch the show, immediately decided to stay in the dormitory to watch it that night!
To her surprise, her three roommates have also been talking about the group since their debut. They've all been saying how different and dazzling this group is, and how captivating they are.
My roommates had never thought that a girl idol group could take such a powerful and strong approach, and it was even more captivating for these girls to scream.
Lying in his bed, he overheard two roommates talking about watching the latest episode of Mysterious Girl's "Happy Journey" together on Friday night. Originally planning to watch the show alone in the dorm with headphones, Liang Hao suddenly mustered up the courage and invited his roommate, with whom he didn't interact much, to join him.
"I think this combination is pretty good too. Should we watch it together on Saturday?"
The two roommates chatting downstairs looked at Liang Hao in surprise. The four people in their dorm were actually quite friendly, and none of them had unusual personalities. However, Liang Hao was introverted and not very sociable. Before college, she was completely absorbed in her studies. She often wanted to hang out with her roommates, but she always felt like she couldn't keep up with their conversation.
Gradually, Liang Hao stopped actively chatting with his roommates and getting so close to them. The two girls in the dorm hadn't expected Liang Hao to have also watched the music video for the Mysterious Girl's debut single. He'd even invited them to watch it together that evening. Naturally, they didn't mind and happily agreed.
Listening to her two roommates happily talking about how they could organize a dorm activity! Should they just watch it together on her laptop, since the screen is bigger, and then everyone could bring their own chairs and sit together? She was really looking forward to the Mysterious Girl's debut! Liang Hao couldn't help but smile from her bed.
The "Happy Journey" program starts on time at 8 o'clock!
Thinking of the two hosts' profound comedic skills and passionate personalities, as well as the various classic segments in the show, the audience of tonight's "Happy Journey" is even more excited to see what kind of sparks will be created by the collision between such a veteran variety show and the latest idol girls?
The show opens with the killer performance of a mysterious girl.
The live performance of the five members, because there is no plot and rich background props, can actually make the audience focus more on the five people. The performance of the whole song is no worse than the MV.
The fans and audience in front of the screen, like the people in the studio, couldn't help but applaud wildly after their performance.
In the dormitory, Liang Hao joined the other roommates in exclamation, their palms clapping red. They seemed to hear screams coming from next door, and heard the sound coming from the balcony outside, from somewhere in the dormitory: "Mystery Girls are so strong, I love them so much!"
Liang Hao and several other roommates couldn't help but look at each other, then smiled at each other and quickly continued watching the show.
The two hosts' subsequent interviews with the five members, along with the revelations of many behind-the-scenes stories, left the girls exclaiming in amazement, greatly satisfying their curiosity about the five members. Compared to their performance in the previous song, they were even more lively on the show, and far from disappointing Liang Hao and his roommates, they were actually incredibly adorable.
This kind of cuteness is not the kind of cuteness that you see when you see young-looking girls acting cute and coquettish in daily life, but a kind of cuteness that makes people feel sweet and refreshed in their hearts!
At the same time, the revelation of the politeness, humility, hard work and high quality displayed by the five members also makes everyone feel that the image of this group is becoming more and more full, and the impression of these five members is becoming more and more clear.
At the end of the show, several of the group's newest fans, all strong dancers from various cities, learned the choreography for their debut single in just a few days and performed it for them at the Happy Walk, expressing their support and blessings for the group.
The original plan was for the members to critique these fans' dances and then perform a live dance together to help them promote their debut single. The five members' immediate expressions of gratitude and sincere encouragement to their fans further strengthened their liking for them in the audience.
Watching the five new members earnestly shake hands and hug each fan who danced, they expressed their gratitude for their ability to perform their debut single so perfectly in such a short time. They also said that this was the best debut gift for the Mysterious Girls group, and hoped that fans would continue to follow them, believing that they would surely present more and more exciting performances.
This scene also made many people, especially those who had never chased stars before, or those who had not seriously liked any artist for a long time, suddenly feel the happiness of being a fan again.
This episode of "Happy Journey" did not disappoint everyone. It firmly took the top spot in the ratings of all satellite TV entertainment programs and even broke the ratings record of "Happy Journey" for two years!
This ace variety show, which still firmly holds the top spot in ratings and has great national popularity, has also successfully allowed more people to see this group.
That night, the mysterious topics #GirlsDebut# and #StrongestGirlGroup#, which had begun to show a downward trend in hot searches, were pushed to the top of the list again and returned to the top of the hot searches.
Many people who had not paid attention to Yuexiang Entertainment and the news of the new girl group's debut before became curious about this group again through tonight's program and related hot searches.
Previously, relying on Yuexiang Entertainment's strength and performance over the past few years, some brands with established partnerships with the group signed business contracts with them before their debut, based on their trust. Now, seeing the popularity, recognition, and fame of Mysterious Girls skyrocket, these brands are naturally beaming.
Yuexiang Entertainment is Yuexiang Entertainment after all. It’s worth their bet and they made a fortune this time!
Moreover, many investors, brands and businesses who were still on the sidelines immediately took action and sent various invitations to the mysterious girl.
A month later, the debut album of the mysterious girl was released. Once it was released, it immediately shocked the entire entertainment industry and the outside world.
The extremely high-quality songs, various addictive melodies and content with themes of girls' independence, personality, growth and struggle have once again made them the focus of everyone's attention.
Many music industry insiders praised the songs, analyzing their clever composition and arrangement and the immense power of their lyrics. In the streets, alleys, shopping malls, and stores, many office workers and students began blasting their new albums through their headphones.
The album's new songs and MVs directly topped the major music charts and MV popularity charts.
They became the first idol group to break into the top 30 of a major music chart in such a short time. They also became the first idol group to have a song directly enter the top three of the chart.
Because of their uniqueness and individuality, some high-end brands and even luxury brands have begun to extend olive branches to them.
The mysterious girl group is currently shooting for the cover of "Modern Fashion" magazine.
Their senior group, Moonlight Boys, didn't appear on the magazine cover until over a year after their debut, while they achieved this feat right after their debut. It wasn't just that Su Yin and the magazine's editor-in-chief, who first met through someone else's introduction and discussed their careers, hit it off immediately. Both were career-driven women, and their ideas and perspectives aligned, leading them to become close friends.
But more importantly, the image that Yuexiang Entertainment created for them, as well as the style and content of their first single and album, were very much to the editor's liking.
Editor-in-Chief Quan Jia also rushed to the shoot. Despite being relatively new to the scene, he saw that the five girls weren't as flustered as the average newbies when faced with the photographer's demands. While they couldn't compare to established models, they clearly showed experience and common sense in filming, which reassured him.
"Last time, you told me that the artists in your company would take these filming courses before their debut. I was a little worried, but now it seems that it is really possible." Quan Jia has a neat short reddish-brown hair, a simple white shirt, coffee-gray trousers and a pair of beige high heels, which makes her look very cool. The details of the accessories show the extra thought. She stood beside Su Yin and chatted with her in a low voice.
"When did I ever brag? Did all my previous questions to your teacher go to waste? You're a forgetful person." Su Yin replied nonchalantly, then smiled. She was wearing the same white short-sleeved shirt with cutout shoulders, paired with blue-gray high-waisted wide-leg pants and a pair of gold pointed-toe high heels. Standing next to Quan Jia, she looked quite harmonious.
Quan Jia naturally noticed Su Yin's outfit the moment she entered the studio, but her focus was primarily on the five girls. The theme of today's shoot was about unique and eccentric girls. They had chosen their own clothes and makeup, so ultimately it would depend on whether the final film could capture that feeling as best as possible.
While the members had all learned the key points of photoshooting at the company—how to look photogenic, enhance their lines, and showcase their most beautiful and distinctive sides—these were just some lessons. Modern Fashion is a top-tier fashion magazine worldwide, and their photographers held the five girls to higher standards than the company's hired photographers. It was only natural that they were more precise.
So, the five members who were not too awkward when they first entered the studio, were constantly asked by the photographer. The five members, dressed in black retro clothes and gorgeous makeup, kept adjusting their movements and expressions, trying to give the effect that the photographer wanted them to have.
"I heard that Yiren also invited you five girls to shoot their new character feature this time?" Seeing that the five girls seemed to be finding their groove more and more under the photographer's guidance, the exquisite and luxurious costumes and outfits, the beautiful scene arrangement, and the girls' calm and powerful demeanor, Quan Jia continued to chat with Su Yin.
"You know all this news? They're inviting them to do a special interview for their magazine." Su Yin was a little surprised, after all, the invitation had only arrived the day before. But then again, it wasn't surprising. The fashion world is smaller and more organized than the entertainment industry, and the competition is more intense. It's no surprise that they each have their own channels.
Otherwise, Quan Jia, who had just been promoted to editor-in-chief at the time, would not have thought of winning her over completely and letting Yuexiang Entertainment join the "Modern Fashion" camp to fight against "Yiren" together.
Quan Jia couldn't help but sneer after hearing her answer: "Exclusive interview? I don't know whether to say they are stingy or generous."
She initially decided to shoot a fashion shoot for the Moonlight Boys, ultimately selecting a black-and-white photo for the magazine's cover. When Yiren learned of this, the editor-in-chief mocked her. It's said the editor-in-chief directly sarcastically criticized her for not being able to find someone with genuine fashion sense for the cover, saying that a new kid next door simply didn't fit Yiren's style and positioning.
However, the subsequent issue featuring Moonlight Boys sold out instantly, necessitating two reprints and breaking the sales record for Modern Fashion magazine in recent years. The striking black-and-white photos featuring them, which contrasted sharply with their image, along with the magazine's in-depth interviews and exploration of the underlying issues surrounding the idol group, were also highly praised by industry insiders.
Later, the news that Su Yin invested in Douyin platform and acquired shares in Duojia media platform, video platform and TV station gradually spread in the circle, and "Yiren" magazine immediately stopped talking.
Afterwards, the Moonlight Youth Group participated in an official art performance, became the officially designated youth public welfare ambassadors, and even received endorsements from top global sports brands. When the events before "Yiren" spread, they became the laughing stock of others.
Quan Jia had originally thought that the woman from Yiren Magazine would just pretend not to see the artists from Yuexiang Entertainment, but she hadn't expected the woman, known as the proudest editor-in-chief, to actually come back and make peace. Then, she couldn't help but glance at Su Yin, who was watching the five girls filming.
After all, in the past two years that woman was there, the magazine's sales and popularity had been declining year by year, but Yuexiang Entertainment, which she had looked down upon before, was developing better and better.
Quan Jia's gaze returned to the five young women. Furthermore, this image, unlike any other artist on the market, emphasized inner strength and the rise of women, a favorite theme in their fashion circles. It wasn't surprising that the woman was willing to bow her head.
Quan Jia did not ask Su Yin whether she agreed to the exclusive interview with "Yi Ren". Sometimes there is no need to ask, and it would be bad to ask.
And Su Yin is naturally——
"I'm sorry, the Mysterious Girl's schedule is too full for the whole month, and we really don't have time. Otherwise, can you think that Yiren can wait until next month for them to watch it?" The external relations staff of Yuexiang Entertainment Company smiled and gave the answer that Su Yin told her to the staff of Yiren magazine.
If Yiren Magazine is willing to wait, then they can consider making time for it when Mysterious Girl is free. If they don't want to wait? Well, there's nothing we can do. They're just too popular and too busy to be available, so we'll just have to miss this opportunity to work with them.
At this time, the photographer had almost taken the photos he wanted, and walked to the computer to look at the finished film with Su Yin and Quan Jia.
Captain Qi Zhi and Fu Ning wore black cheongsams, their hair styled in chignons, the most fashionable style of a century or two ago. Their demeanors were both generous and aloof. Next to her sat Fu Ning, dressed in a black, retro, aristocratic Western-style dress, her long, wavy hair cascading down her back. Her chin was slightly raised, her demeanor nonchalant and proud. The other three members, Bei Ping'an, Lan Leyi, and Yan Yun, stood behind her in elaborate yet sophisticated black silk suits and trousers, modern, minimalist black skirts, and strapless black dresses.
The five girls' outfits and makeup were all different, but they all wore the same cool, oppressive black attire. Their eyes, seemingly cold, yet alluring and proud, shone with inner fire within their smiles. After reviewing several photos, the photographer, Su Yin, and Quan Jia were all very satisfied.
This set of photos is not only beautiful, but also reflects the personality of each person, and has the same impact and overwhelming aura.
"Okay, this is the set of photos! Called time!" With the approval of photographer Quan Jiahe, today's photo shoot was successfully completed!
The five girls breathed a sigh of relief, glancing happily at Su Yin, who had accompanied them the entire time. They bowed and thanked the photographer and all the staff in the studio. After a final goodbye, Su Yin led the five members on their way out. Once in the company car, the members, who had been so well-behaved and polite, suddenly became lively!
Several members' eyes lit up, and they said to Su Yin in disbelief, "We're actually going to be on the cover of Modern Fashion! Oh my God!"
Su Yin watched them leap for joy and added, "And she's the youngest debut artist ever to grace the cover of Modern Fashion!" Then, the five members cheered and screamed. Su Yin couldn't help but cover her ears. The five members quickly covered their mouths, still unable to hide their smiles as they watched Su Yin.
"Okay, calm down. I'll take you to dinner later. We have a livestream with fans tonight, so save some energy!" They now had to take a bus to City C to participate in an interactive program on the nation's largest radio station, promoting their new album and interacting with fans. Afterward, they'd head back to the company dorms for the night to rest.
Previously, they had carried out new album promotion activities on the national TV station's music programs, A City TV, Kangle TV, Guangming Video and Douyin platforms. Now that the radio event is over, the remaining activities are mainly business activities.
Come to think of it, the new program specially produced for the mysterious girl should be released soon. After all, variety shows are the best way to expand influence and attract fans quickly in a short period of time.
Hopefully, this new program will satisfy fans and ordinary audiences, and allow them to further understand the various charms of the mysterious girl!
