Chapter 95
For an album, production must start at least six months in advance, and it takes one to two months to collect and screen songs. After deciding on the title song, you have to prepare concepts that match the song, hold countless MV meetings and makeup meetings, and finish filming the MV two months before the song is released, leaving time for editing and preparation.
This is the fastest way, and Jiang Juyou was preparing for the album as early as when the company was just established. When the trainees were still preparing for the third public performance, the storyboards for the MV had already come out.
In the eyes of fans, the five of them lost contact after the show ended, and the company did not upload any materials. There was only a promise at the finale that they would meet everyone with the work before the end of the winter vacation, but then no sound was heard.
We waited from the beginning of the year to the Chinese New Year. In the middle, we saw five of them rushing back from Korea to celebrate the Chinese New Year. They stayed for three days and then left again. They all wore hats and masks. If it weren't for their body shapes, fans really couldn't tell who was who.
When all major universities gave the time for returning to school, the slow-moving random entertainment finally released the first version of the trailer.
Timetrain's Douyin account released a short video. In the ten-second video, a square acrylic box slowly turned transparent from a matte state, and a little figure and home furnishings inside could be vaguely seen.
The sound of a video tape playing rang out, and there was a sound of a door opening in the box, footsteps, and the sound of a chair rubbing against the floor. It was as if someone came in, pulled out a chair, sat down at the table, and busied himself with typing.
The box didn't become transparent in the end, but you could see something.
This vague feeling made fans scratch their heads and try to enlarge the video to watch it again. This confusing concept made them raise a question mark above their heads.
"I can't figure it out."
"My brain and my eyes don't match."
"What does this want to express?"
"It expresses the author's homesickness."
The preview poster on Weibo was even simpler, with a translucent frosted box, which was even more blurry.
The only useful information in this preview was the debut date: "March 5th"
This information alone was enough.
After the debut trailer was released, just one night, almost all entertainment bloggers and marketing accounts in the domestic entertainment industry released related news, as if they had to bring this matter to everyone's attention.
The next day, everyone really saw this news, and there were bloggers on the Internet trying to analyze the concept of the debut poster.
Fans only cared about when the next preview news would come out. Everyone was waiting for 8 o'clock in the evening. Before that, Timetrain's official account released the performance notice.
"Hello, Moonle, the Timetrain will arrive on March 5th. To welcome it, the debut performance recording will be held on March 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. If you want to participate in Moonle, you can apply for the event through the Gailexi Small World APP. The corresponding number of fans who meet the requirements will be selected by lottery."
In addition to notifying the performance date, the announcement also has the requirements for participation. There are only two requirements: spending more than 1,000 yuan on the Gailexi APP and being 16 years old or older.
The first few days are all recordings, and only the 5th is a live broadcast.
"One thousand? Who are you looking down on?"
"Hehe, I'm here again, and the most important thing is to participate."
"I've spent almost 10,000 yuan at your house, can you put me in the front row?"
There is only half a month left until the debut day. Considering the first few days of recording, there are only about ten days left to hear the debut song.
After waiting for several years and months, the ten days before debut are the most tiring. The fans' mood is controlled by Random Entertainment, and even passers-by get involved.
This is probably the most formal group in the entertainment industry so far. They have received several years of training, first the audition, and then the debut battle. Every step is watched by everyone.
Their debut steps are also textbook-based, first releasing a preview poster, and then releasing other materials.
The news released every day not only attracts the hearts of fans, but also the curiosity of passers-by is controlled by Random Entertainment. Every day, they see their trailer on time. They already know that their trailer is a frosted box, but they still have to stop and take a look when they see it.
The box trailer was released for five consecutive days, and finally became transparent -
the content inside was not what fans had guessed before, but a miniature model of a boy's room, with a bed, a desk, a closet, and a computer desk, and various small ornaments were also so detailed that they were almost one-to-one restoration.
There is also a base under the box, and there is a switch on the side of the base. After turning it to the play option, the sound comes out -
the computer-processed piano sound has a unique feeling. It serves as the foundation and accompaniment, and the protagonist is the ocarina. When the sound of the flute comes out, the feeling is different. The rhythm of R&B plus the emphasis on the beat immediately catches everyone's ears.
The lively rhythm has a completely different atmosphere from the sad love songs that have swept the Internet recently. After listening to too many slow songs, this song with a unique prelude immediately caught everyone's attention.
The song preview was less than ten seconds long and was played only once, but everyone remembered the melody.
"The ring entertainment action is cancelled! Domestic entertainment, here we come, hahahaha!"
"It's been a while since I last saw it. Has domestic entertainment evolved to this point? [Shocked]"
"So brainwashing, I only listened to it twice, and this part was automatically played in my mind when I cooked instant noodles."
"Damn it! I can't forget it!!!"
The veil of the box was finally taken off, and the face of the physical album was finally revealed. There is one more preview on Weibo tonight, and the more is the album configuration, and this broken box that was released by the official account for a few days is the true face of the physical album.
"The prices of the 1st studio album "infp-a" are as follows"
"Bluetooth album: 79 yuan"
"Selfie Card album: 50 yuan"
"Vinyl record album: 189 yuan"
The Bluetooth album is the box.
Random Entertainment abandoned the previous CDs and chose Bluetooth audio as the carrier of this album. In addition to playing the built-in 16 songs of "infp-a", it can also be used as a Bluetooth audio, connected to a mobile phone, and play other songs.
The other two are small card albums and records, a total of three versions
The Bluetooth album is divided into five versions, one person corresponds to a miniature house, and the house in the trailer is actually different every day. As
we all know, random entertainment has a bad problem, that is, every time it sells something, it is limited in time but not in quantity, and this time is no exception.
"No, you are sick. Who sells an album for only one week? If you are tired of running the stall, leave it to me! I told you to hire me!"
"Sales start at 10 am on the 1st and end at 10 pm on the 7th..."
"Random entertainment always jumps back and forth between being fashionable and outdated. I don't understand this operation."
"Very good, I am here to hype the album!"
The album configuration was announced tonight, and several activities related to the album were also made public. They debuted on March 5th, Saturday, and there will be a live performance that night. The first autograph session will be on Sunday.
In the next seven weeks, performances will be on Saturdays and autograph sessions will be held on Sundays.
Jiang Juyou's plan for the group's operation also surfaced.
There is no idol stage in China, so they created their own stage. Starting from Beijing, they will perform live at the Gailexi venues in various cities in the next few weeks, bringing the overseas song promotion model to China, and conducting two months of stage promotion after releasing the album. After
the album was released, the evening preview was finally a little different -
the picture started with the interior, this time it was no longer a model, but a real room, a room seen from the perspective of a computer camera.
There was no bright light source in the dim room, only the light from the computer and the bedside table lamp were on. Opposite the computer desk was the bookshelf, and next to the bookshelf was the bed. The small bed had no bed frame, only a mattress on the ground, covered with a quilt, and a few coats scattered on the bed.
Suddenly, the door opened, and someone came over and pulled out a chair.
When seeing this, the sense of déjà vu of a horror movie was so strong that everyone squinted their eyes in fear. But the next second, Ye Xing's handsome face appeared in the picture. Ye
Xing was wearing a blue trendy brand hoodie. The loose clothes made his figure look much larger. The feeling of immaturity and youthfulness disappeared completely, and the unique feeling of a 17-year-old boy came over him.
He wore a white knitted hat with the artistic words "Timetrain" written on it. He had a lollipop in his mouth and looked cynical. After pulling out the chair and sitting down, he picked up the headphones on the computer desk and put them on his head. He tapped on the keyboard a few times and played music, and that music was the prelude to the main theme song of this time.
Following the rhythm of the music, Ye Xing slowly swayed his body, looking as if he was immersed in the rhythm of the music.
The message prompt rang at this time, and Ye Xing took a closer look. It asked: "Do you want to go out and play?"
Ye Xing tapped the keyboard and replied: "No."
After sending this sentence, he smiled happily and continued to sway his head to the music.
"Ahhhh, family members, who really understands the concept of INFP!"
"Of course the face-man should be the first to come out!!!"
"Hello, husband, let's get married in three years."
A broken box tortured everyone for five days. Just when everyone thought it would take another five days, the other four messages came out when they refreshed Douyin. After putting them together, the concept of the INFP personality type became completely clear.
It is about the story of INFPs healing themselves at home and surfing the Internet. It uses the stereotype of INFPs loving surfing the Internet as a concept and expands the other end of the concept - fans.
Because the distance between them is just an Internet cable. They
are always separated by a screen.
