Chapter 206 The singing period
At midnight, the sound source finally appeared. At this time, countless die-hard fans of the girls were gathering in front of the computer to refresh, wanting to see their Ernie's songs for the first time.
Most of them were happily thinking that their Ernie might also be looking forward to their reply, and they did similar actions over and over again.
But they were destined to be disappointed, because an hour ago, either Kim Taeyeon or Pani suggested in a low voice: "I'm so nervous! Or let's have a drink!"
Xu Xian surprisingly did not remind him this time. Instead, he frowned and drank half the bottle of beer. His face turned red. Although he could not see any obvious drunkenness, the tight cheeks just now began to show. Show a little smile.
Although the meaning of the smile is similar, the same drunken and foolish smile is much more pleasing to the eye when placed on Xu Xian's face.
Everyone knew that Li Menglong had a good drinking capacity, so they asked him to remind them when the time came. However, when Li Menglong went to remind them just now, no one seemed to pay attention to him.
The three of them were sitting around the Kang table, each holding a bottle of beer and sipping at it. The late night snack Li Menglong had prepared in advance on the table was paired with some ham sausage, dried meat, shredded squid and shrimp crackers, which was enough to fool them. These are people who don’t drink often anymore.
The variety show in front of TV has also reached the latest episode of Jungle. During this period, everyone was very fascinated, and they even asked Li Menglong to take them to see the patriarch if they had time.
Li Menglong's place was occupied by them, so he could only reluctantly sit on the sofa very uncomfortablely, and then held the tablet to do the work that they should have done by themselves.
Girls' Generation is still Girls' Generation, even if it's three people attacking. However, these three people are currently among the top five or even top three in popularity in the team, so except for a small number of Wei fans, most of the girls' fans support this album together.
As for the evaluation, it is a bit intriguing. The girls' trilogy since Gee, that is, the two years before their debut, have always shown a youthful image.
After that, for the so-called transformation and the European and American mainstream music market, the girls began to become more and more sexy and enchanting. Of course, it is not that there is anything wrong with it, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have been eating the old music from the past. Ben, not that many people are attracted by new songs.
As for the title song "Twinkle" this time, the same is generally true. An American composer was hired, and the style of music is claimed to be the retro, fast-paced emotional title song of the 1980s.
Having said that, will Koreans really resonate with songs written by Americans that miss America in the 1980s?
At least Li Menglong didn't feel anything when he just listened to it. Of course, it still has a certain appeal with the dance, but compared with Li Soonkyu's song or even their previous songs, the difference is the feeling!
The current online comments are almost like this. Most of the arguments are mindless praise, because they feel that whatever Ernie sings is good.
Some of them are just mindless insults. As long as Girls' Generation remains on the throne as the number one girl group in Korea, they will block the way of countless people and will be thoughtlessly insulted by countless people.
After excluding the opinions of these two parties, we can see the answers of some rational fans: "I can see that they are very serious about singing, dancing and styling this song, but unfortunately, it is not my thing!"
"The song is very good. It focuses on the American retro rhythm of the 1980s and is also very dynamic. But are you sure you are releasing a Korean album?"
"The MV was shot very well. I took off my headphones and watched it alone. It looked much better without the song!"
After seeing the last comment, Li Menglong didn't know what to say. Should he be happy that his music video was recognized, or should he feel sad that Kim Taeyeon and the others were not recognized?
The girls were not drunk enough to drink, but it was a little hard to think now. Later, they all lay on the ground, sticking their butts out and looking at the tablet below with their heads raised.
Li Menglong didn't dare to look there. He was afraid that he would be reluctant to look away after just one glance. The familiar people laid out the bedding in the living room, and several girls lay down one after another after washing briefly.
Generally speaking, they are happy. Although there are some voices that are not recognized, it does not affect the release of the album at all. Just after reaching one point, the latest sales data came out.
Because all the pre-sale items were included, more than 48,000 albums were sold in one hour. Many second-tier idols only work so hard for one album.
With satisfied smiles, the three of them fell into sleep. The effect of alcohol was no joke. After taking a shower, Li Menglong sat at the table in the room again.
He spread out the large notebook and began to write down the girls' arrangements for the next few days and some of Xu Xian's follow-up plans. He sat there for an hour, pressing the sides of his nose, and Li Menglong let out a long breath.
I pulled out the photo of the girl's back from under the cover of the notebook. I tried again to recall it for two minutes, but still found nothing.
He placed his thumb on a familiar place and rubbed it gently. Whenever it was quiet at night, Li Menglong would occasionally think about his past, and he would pull out this photo at this time.
"Zhi En! What is your relationship with me? Are you thinking about me? I miss you a little!" Li Menglong almost whispered. At the same time, in a mobile nanny car, a girl with a flat nose was frowning and her expression was very complicated. I don’t know what she was dreaming about, but at the end she said softly: "Oppa, Zhien misses you so much." !" Then there were two lines of silent tears.
It was just after five o'clock in the morning the next day, and even Xu Xian hadn't gotten up yet. Li Menglong started to wake them up. The singing period was about to begin, and these people were going to be very busy recently.
Fortunately, Kim Taeyeon and others also knew what was going on. Although they were all sleepy, they all went to wash themselves obediently. After a simple breakfast, the three of them officially started working.
The first place is the beauty salon that has not changed for thousands of years. After sending the girls in, Li Menglong did not sit idle, but looked around for Park Xiangmin. It seemed that he would definitely be there for this kind of group activity for the girls' new album. of.
However, he searched around and couldn't find it, so he finally managed to find a person in charge. He was also one of Xiang Min's men, but he was considered the oldest and best person.
"He's sick. The company is a little worried about him, so we have to take a two-day break!"
"Oh, which hospital is he in? I'll go see him later when I have time!" After speaking, Li Menglong saw the other party's awkward smile and stopped asking. It was obvious that he just didn't want to come.
Whether it’s because he doesn’t want to see Li Menglong or because he doesn’t pay attention to TTS, in short Li Menglong is out of sight and out of mind, and now several personal assistants here, including people from Park Xiangmin’s team, have all heard of Li Menglong more or less. Name.
They don't know who is right or wrong. Anyway, it seems that Li Menglong has made Pou Xiangmin suffer many times, and now that Li Menglong can still stand here, everyone naturally has a good idea of how to get along with him.
After putting on their makeup, just after 8 a.m., the group arrived at a shopping mall in Seoul, which was also a book signing today.
There were quite a few people at the scene, at least two thousand people at a glance. Everyone was holding up the girls' new album and chatting enthusiastically.
However, although there are many people, it can be seen that the merchants are very familiar with the business, and nearly a hundred security guards maintain order well.
Seeing the girls coming out from the high platform in front, the fans immediately screamed in cooperation. Li Menglong's ears were in pain for a while. Because of the limitations of the stage, the girls only sang a short section of the title song a cappella, and then started Signed.
"Do you think the scene is okay? Why do you say that autograph sessions are still dangerous!" Li Menglong chatted casually with the people on the side.
"This is Seoul! So of course you should behave accordingly. When you get to Busan or Jeonju, we won't be able to talk easily here!" The man was obviously frightened.
Li Menglong curled his lips and didn't care at all. After all, in his eyes, this place was already crazy. Are you going to get crazy again? Running naked?
The original one-and-a-half-hour autograph session was forced to be extended for another half-hour. However, there were still many fans who came one after another, but the girls had already left. Looking at the children below, tears flowed out. Li Menglong I felt very intolerable.
"Let's go!" The man next to him pulled Li Menglong.
"What should they do?" Li Menglong pointed at the nearly a hundred fans.
"Who told them to arrive late? Let's wait for the next trip, or follow them to other places!" the other party said calmly.
Li Menglong subconsciously resisted this indifferent approach, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do because people kept coming. It's just that although it makes sense, there is still a knot in my heart.
Without Park Xiangmin's presence, Li Menglong got the privilege of entering the girls' nanny car. Of course, neither the driver nor the co-pilot had a chance to take his turn.
But who told him to have a good relationship with the girls? He moved directly to the back and got a seat that can be semi-reclined. Usually there are more than five girls sitting in the back of this car, so now there is no need to add Li Menglong. Seems crowded.
When the glamorous people on the stage returned to the small private space in the car, they were all exhausted. They covered themselves with blankets and then remained motionless.
Maybe many people think how tiring it is for them just to sign autographs. Yes, they just sit there and write, but have you ever tried to smile for two hours straight?
Your face will be completely stiff, and your whole head will be sore. The girls don't even dare to rub it hard because they still have to wear it, so they can only open their mouths wide and move their jaws from time to time.
Fortunately, it was a radio show, and if they were recording a variety show and laughing for a few hours, they would really go crazy, so many fans could secretly take photos of their bad faces afterwards, which was just a break in their smiles.
