Chapter 140: Living Younger and Younger, Earning...
The new song performed better than fans expected, which greatly boosted the confidence of fans who were watching the audio source.
Fans who don't look at the data and just watch online are also very excited, feeling a sense of pride as if their own children made the list.
Song Rui was busy all morning and only took out her cell phone during lunch break. She opened the music app and searched for the new songs of the Fifth Regiment.
The song was released at ten in the morning, and now, two hours later, it has more than 300,000 collections. Song Rui has been chasing idols for many years, and there is only one main star in five generations. Others don’t pay attention to it, and it is not known whether this result can be considered good.
However, compared with the previous five generations of songs, which took several months to get 200,000 or 300,000 collections, this time the collection data is so much better that Song Rui couldn't help but sigh that she had never seen the world.
“So many people!”
Song Rui wasn't sure whether this data was good or bad, but Su Rong, who was returning to the dormitory to rest after dinner, couldn't help but let out a small exclamation after seeing the song data, even though he was still walking on the road.
Then, driven by her Korean entertainment girl's intuition, she immediately started to check the charts, and saw that the fifth group's new song "Graduation Incomplete" ranked 64th in Green Leaf, 82nd in DYE, and 77th in Chinese music.
They are all on the list! It’s not just a smack!
What level is this?
——This was a level that Su Rong had never expected.
I have been chasing stars for many years. Although Su Rong's main group is a creative boy group that has been developing for many years and is still popular and has produced excellent works from time to time, but when it comes to chasing stars, how can there be only one worry?
So apart from the main characters with excellent academic performance, Su Rong also has a soft spot for the lesser-known ones who are still working hard.
There are new groups from Korean entertainment, as well as audition groups from domestic entertainment.
Needless to say, the competition among Korean entertainment groups is fierce. For groups debuting from small companies, if they do not have novel concepts and good songs, they will be quickly drowned in the vast ocean of idols as soon as they debut.
But even if they have novel concepts and good songs, it can only temporarily delay their being submerged. If they do not continue to produce good works, they will still quickly disappear and then fall into a situation where they cannot return for a long time.
For a group like this, having their music included in the charts is something they dare not even think about.
After all, music is an entertainment product that everyone needs.
There are naturally countless people using such products.
Although it is impossible for everyone to have such software to listen to music, the coverage rate is definitely not low.
In such an app that is used by people of all ages and is used by most people, how many people are attracted to idol group songs?
Women aged 10 to 30, the main force of star chasing, only account for about 15% of the total population. If the range is expanded to 40 years old, the proportion will reach 25% (Note ①). But among women aged 30-40, what is the probability that they will follow a newly debuted group if it is not a group they liked when they were young?
Considering the ages of the people she met while chasing stars over the years, Su Rong felt that this proportion was definitely not high.
Generally speaking, the main fan base of idol groups are still young women and girls aged 10-30, and not all of these people are fans of idols.
The entertainment industry is so developed, and there are countless literary and artistic works. Are idols a necessity for entertainment?
According to this ratio, the amount allocated to idols is really small, and there are so many idol groups. If the number of fans is divided among different groups, it is difficult to say how many fans each group can have.
Besides the fans, will the general public listen to a new song as soon as an idol group releases it?
Compared with the countless passers-by listeners and the audio data that countless fans specifically brush up, can they beat those singers who are at the top of the charts and have high public recognition, or the songs that are played in the streets and alleys?
Recalling his experience of following an obscure group, Su Rong couldn't help but shed a few bitter tears.
In addition, Su Rong is still following Korean entertainment... It is a country with a small population, so when Su Rong saw the collection number of more than 300,000, she was really shocked.
Isn't this a newly debuted boy group?
Wasn’t the new song released just two hours ago?
So many people come to collect it?
And there are over 20,000 people listening?
What was she doing this time?
However, after being shocked for a moment, before seeing the data on the list, Su Rong quickly figured out the source of these data.
After all, The Fifth Era is a popular program, and there are indeed quite a few viewers for the debut group's night live broadcast. Even if not all of these viewers are converted into fans of the debut group, even if only one percent of the viewers can stay, it is still a considerable number.
And to put it bluntly, the audio source results are compared by passers-by. Aren’t the audiences of these programs the best passers-by?
It’s normal to listen to new songs when they are released.
As for the tens of thousands of listeners, the Fifth Group is, after all, a training-based boy group that has been operating for several years. Each member has thousands of fans, and the group has thousands of group fans. Together, they can quickly gather tens of thousands of people.
Su Rong, who thought she understood everything, listened to the new song with headphones, then found the charts. After scrolling down for a long time, she began to search carefully. However, she didn't see the name she was looking for all the way up. Just when Su Rong was nervous, she saw the song she was listening to, "Incomplete Graduation", in the middle back.
Center! Back!
Su Rong looked closely and saw the number representing the rank in front of the song title: 64.
Oh my god, it’s okay that the song collection is so high, but is the music source ranking also so high?
You have to know that the most painful thing for those boy bands she is a light fan of is undoubtedly the music performance.
She still remembers the agony of toiling away at the charts day and night, and the hustle and bustle of logging into a new account every few minutes. During those most exciting days, she would get angry whenever she saw all the other boy bands of the same generation - every one of them was her competitor!
When she was at her darkest, she even prayed before going to bed every day that these boy bands would collapse so that she could take the top spot.
But even after putting in so much "effort", the boy group she briefly led still failed to win first place.
It's really a big abuse of the sound source.
Su Rong was hurt deeply, and from then on she closed her heart and locked away all love, never to be a regular soldier again.
Her real self is still the best. She has been popular for many years since her debut, her creative ability is outstanding and her songs are nice. As a fan, you don’t need to worry about the data at all.
Just wait for the song to come out and listen to it, then watch the real host sweep the place.
This feeling can be summed up in one word - awesome!
Because of this experience, if we look at the domestic entertainment industry, the Fifth Group definitely cannot be compared with her main group, but Su Rongqian had taken a look at the audition groups before, and she still remembers that when they released songs, their performance was only about the same as the current Fifth Group.
But that’s a talent show!
The draft team is famous for being ambitious and rich.
This is a combination that is actually voted for with real money, and its combat effectiveness and purchasing power are top-notch.
Otherwise, the draft would not have remained popular for so many years.
But what about the development system?
Based on the two months of follow-up lessons and gossip after Su Rong's group night, the following points are summarized:
There is a group of crazy, brainless and neurotic underage illegitimate children.
There is a group of female celebrities on Weibo who criticize and criticize others anytime and anywhere.
There is a group of elementary school student "fans" who are showing off their stuff everywhere just to cheat ten yuan.
There is a group of "fans" who follow the big fans and believe whatever they say without any ideas of their own. I don't know if they are fans of idols or female celebrities in the fan circle.
There is a group of "little justice policemen" who work together to go out on patrol every day...
Every detail opened Su Rong's eyes.
No wonder she has always had a bad impression of the training system. With such "fans", it is indeed difficult to have a good impression.
Su Rong tried to analyze the reasons why the fan circle of the development series was so chaotic, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't find an antidote. He could only attribute it to the fact that there was too little homework and too much free time.
After all, among this group of energetic elementary and junior high school students, apart from studying, they can only spend their excess energy on the Internet.
As a college student busy with her studies and a corporate slave struggling to survive, she has neither the means nor the time to participate in such a battle.
Thinking of this, Su Rong suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart.
Then she quickly suppressed it.
After all, in the eyes of passers-by on the Internet, she is now also one of this group of neurotic and brainless young fans.
When she opened her Weibo, it was all about the crazy things she had posted about the fifth generation recently. She was so scared that she didn't dare to go back to her previous circle and post on Weibo, for fear that others would find out and step on her, and she wouldn't dare to refute them.
Su Rong was very sad and felt that he must have been blinded by greed. Why did he fall for the Fifth Regiment?
How can these little brats compare to her real mother?
But the first period when I just got into it was so unreasonable. Even the song that was echoing in the headphones, Su Rong couldn't help but feel that it was really good. No wonder it got such a ranking.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Su Rong's left and right brain began to fight against each other again.
While shouting that the fan filter was not objective, he also said that it was indeed not bad, etc., and then started playing the song on repeat.
Finally, returning to the dormitory and sitting on the chair, Su Rong could only watch the music source rankings rise again after the new hour came to comfort himself. At least his current identity on the Internet is that of an elementary school student. He can painlessly reduce his age and become younger and younger. At least he has made a profit.
The good performance of the new song made fans overjoyed and they told others about it. The company also took the opportunity to buy hot searches and released the plot version of the MV on time the next day.
This MV was produced at great expense, and it adopts the currently very popular dreamcore style.
Film filters, a boy in school uniform, a bicycle with ringing bells, and the backs of people running in the corridor, all create a sense of youthful nostalgia.
After the MV was released, fans also liked it very much. After all, the makeup is youthful and beautiful, and it is a campus theme. In addition, it is the first song, so fans have all kinds of filters turned on. Unless the song is really unbearable and as ugly as a horror story, they will sincerely say all kinds of compliments.
However, amidst the numerous praises, there were also criticisms. Under the gathering places of fans of each team, the powerful "female celebrities" of fans had already captured ugly pictures of their teammates and pictures worthy of "discussion and analysis" from various angles and directions. During the short break after compiling the data, they posted these things one by one, praising themselves while criticizing their teammates.
It is difficult to say what the mentality is behind this behavior of not only watching oneself but also watching teammates frame by frame.
But whether it is praise or criticism, compared to the stagnant fan circle some time ago, the fan circle of the fifth group is now really lively. The expectations that surged on the night of the group's formation and disappeared during the subsequent two months of silence have now emerged again.
The first song has been released, the second song has definitely been recorded, the third song is probably being learned, the fourth song is also ready, the fifth song is on the way, and the sixth song is scheduled...
Six songs is enough! I can release an EP now! Now that the EP is out, shouldn’t I also plan a concert?
Fans are like this, always young and always expectant.

The author has something to say: Note 1: The data is estimated by AI through a theoretical model in a society with a balanced and stable population structure that conforms to the laws of natural development (i.e. no aging, no childbearing, a fertility rate close to the replacement level ≈ 2.1, and a "spindle-shaped" population pyramid).
