Chapter 716 There is no end (End)

Cheng Qianan's momentum successfully continued into the following time.

A considerable part of the great discussion he brought has been transferred to Twice's upcoming return.

As the company went public, his identity in the eyes of the world seemed to have changed overnight to that of a capitalist, business owner, upper-class person, and producer, which was no longer enough to support his current worth and status.

This transformation seems to happen in an instant. It seems that in South Korea, becoming a chaebol or making a class jump are the most admirable things.

...

"Oppa, I'm going to debut soon, I'm really nervous."

The other end of the phone said half worried and half excited.

"Good luck with your debut. I will support you after your debut."

Cheng Qianan listened to Liu Zhimin's voice and said with a smile.

Not long after the two confirmed their relationship, Ryu Jimin was fully prepared for her debut.

In addition, Cheng Qian'an is busy and has little ability to divide his time, so the two have almost no chance to meet. They can only communicate by phone and video.

"Oppa, you've been really..."

The girl's thoughts were changing, so she changed the topic in the next sentence, and there was an uncontrollable entanglement in her words.

"what happened?"

Cheng Qian'an seemed to understand what was going on and asked knowingly.

"I feel like you've changed a lot in the time we haven't seen each other."

Liu Zhimin said in a low voice.

"Really? Actually, I'm still me. These things are just exposed in the news."

Cheng Qian'an knew that she felt uneasy in her heart, facing his sudden soaring achievements, the little girl felt insecure in her heart.

Ryu Jimin's family background is well-off, or in other words, most trainees now come from good families, middle-class, or even upper-class families.

"I know…"

Of course the girl knew in her heart that he was comforting her.

But facing an unknown debut, and the huge gap in status between the two of them in just a few days, no matter how much they said, it was hard to erase their uneasiness.

With such a huge identity gap, what does her family background mean?

"There's nothing to worry about. I'll support you, so we'll always be one."

Cheng Qianan was not worried at all and comforted him.

The time between him and Liu Zhimin will be long in the future, even three to five years will not end.

For a trainee who has not yet debuted, it will be at least five years before he has stabilized and had a sufficient private life after a long period of time after his debut.

After such a long time has passed, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.

Take every step of the present step first before talking about it.

"Really? Then oppa will be our producer and he will always be by my side."

There are certain moments in love that make people lose their minds. Just at this moment, Liu Zhimin was so uneasy that she wanted Cheng Qianan to have a trustworthy and certain future with him.

"Of course, maybe I will buy SM in the future and let your teacher Li Xiuman retire."

Cheng Qian'an said jokingly.

"Oppa's joke is too much."

Liu Zhimin scolded, but he couldn't help but smile.

"It's not necessarily impossible."

Cheng Qianan said nonchalantly.

This is indeed not necessarily the case.

As of October 8000, SM's market value is [-] billion won, fluctuating up and down.

Cheng Qian'an's now impressive Bubble Group has a market value of around 4000 billion. Although it is affected by a temporary momentum and so on, they have just gone public and the company has only been established for just one year. The future prospects are quite broad. .

With a huge amount of cash flow in hand, nothing can be done.

No matter how famous SM is, from a macro perspective in Korea, to put it bluntly, it is not just a medium-sized company, and Bubble Group's current potential is completely aimed at large companies.

As far as the entire entertainment industry is concerned, apart from CJ, the only company that can be called a large company is Big Hit, which is about to be reorganized and restructured.

With the current operating conditions of SM, the male and female groups do not have strong enough support.

The life and death of the new girl group is uncertain, Red Velvet's lifespan is approaching, NCT is half dead, and EXO's momentum has faded. I am afraid that there will not be much room for market value to rise in the future.

The so-called acquisition of SM is really not a joke if you think about it seriously.

"It's only been a year, and there will be more days to come. Who knows what it will be like."

Cheng Qianan said to Liu Zhimin half jokingly and half seriously.

"Ok!"

Liu Zhimin has 100% trust in Cheng Qianan.

This trust gave her the courage that she knew Cheng Qianan was surrounded by flowers, but she still threw herself into it without hesitation.

This kind of trust comes from the accumulation of time, and from the fact that Cheng Qianan can always make progress.

This is fatal to her attraction.

"oppa..."

Before hanging up the phone, Liu Zhimin called him softly, his voice sounded caring and gentle.

"I will always love you, even after I debut."

"But oppa, you have to do this to me, and you can't forget me."

Such a straightforward confession was difficult to hear from Liu Zhimin's mouth, but at this moment, he could really hear it in his ears.

"I will, I always will."

Cheng Qian'an solemnly accepted Liu Zhimin's unabashed loyalty to the softest part of his heart.

...

"You're too successful now to make me believe it's you."

Song Yuqi looked at Cheng Qianan in front of her, her tone was tangled and incredulous.

"Really? I told you a long time ago that if you hang out with me, you will be able to fly while walking in the future."

Cheng Qian'an laughed loudly after hearing this, showing a rare proud look, and beamed at Song Yuqi.

Seeing him so complacent, Song Yuqi rarely quarreled with him again.

Facing Cheng Qian'an, Song Yuqi also felt like he had been separated for three days. He was looking at each other with admiration, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of gap in his heart.

“We’re going to be back early next year.”

Song Yuqi changed the subject.

"I know, next January, right?"

Cheng Qian'an said with a smile.

Song Yuqi nodded.

"Return to success and go to the next level."

"Of course, you don't need to say more."

"In the future, ask me to give you a friendly price. I am very expensive now."

"Hey, you kid."

Song Yuqi couldn't help but spit at him when she saw him showing off in front of her again.

"Just put your heart in your stomach. With me as a good helper, you will definitely succeed. You will definitely succeed, no matter what happens in the future."

Cheng Qianan has great affection and righteousness for his friends, especially Song Yuqi, his childhood sweetheart since childhood, who helped him a lot when he first came to Korea. As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring.

"I remember this sentence."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuqi joked a little seriously.

Hearing this, Cheng Qian'an smiled heartily, and said with a big grin: "Once a word is spoken, it is hard to chase after it. I will guarantee your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life!"

"You are so crazy that you have no limits."

"You and Miyan now..."

Song Yuqi rolled her eyes at him, then rolled her eyes and mentioned Zhao Meiyan.

She wasn't completely relieved after that, but she still observed Zhao Meiyan casually.

Living under the same roof, no matter how hidden we are, there will be no clues and no traces will be revealed.

Zhao Meiyan would look silly and happy at her phone from time to time, but when she saw her approaching him, she would hurriedly cut the screen or turn off her phone.

Such an act of not having 300 taels of silver here was noticed by her, not to mention it happened more than once.

No matter how hard she tried not to doubt herself, she still had to doubt it.

Cheng Qian'an heard her mention him and Zhao Meiyan, but he didn't say anything to explain.

He just smiled without saying a word, showing a meaningful smile and blinking his eyes.

Nothing was said, everything was said.

"Cheng Qian'an you!"

Song Yuqi understood it in an instant, and her eyes widened in disbelief, looking at him with a ridiculous expression.

"Are you crazy, you!"

"I'm not crazy."

Cheng Qian'an smiled.

"You have a girlfriend."

Song Yuqi emphasized.

"I know."

Cheng Qian'an nodded.

"You know that, but you still do this kind of thing??"

Song Yuqi said incredulously with an absurd face.

"It's because you know, why you still do it?"

Cheng Qian'an asked her back.

Song Yuqi became speechless for a moment before his words.

Doing this just because you know it does not officially mean that you are not afraid at all, that you have no hesitation and are fearless.

So what's the use of saying more? She has already said everything she needs to say and done everything she needs to do. She has tried her best on this matter.

At this point, in the face of the established reality, it seems that no matter how much you say or do, you can't stop the two of them in front of Cheng Qian'an.

"Do you still remember that before, I gave you what you asked for, and you promised me, a chance not to be angry?"

“So you’ve already settled it, right??”

When Song Yuqi heard him mention this, it became clear instantly. Looking at Cheng Qianan, her heart suddenly became weak.

"Actually, the middle process is quite complicated, but what you have in front of you is this result."

"Compared to hiding it from you all the time, being honest and honest is probably the most acceptable thing for you."

What friends fear is deception, and further betrayal. Cheng Qianan took advantage of this moment to make it clear to Song Yuqi, so as not to cause the situation to become more complicated due to a certain opportunity in the future.

Song Yuqi was completely speechless towards Cheng Qianan, including Zhao Meiyan.

She had worked so hard until now, but she still couldn't stop Zhao Meiyan from falling into the fire pit.

In other words, it was Zhao Meiyan who fell into Cheng Qianan's trap willingly, no one else could blame her.

"I really…"

For various reasons, Song Yuqi felt more powerless in her heart, and she didn't know how to get angry even if she wanted to.

"Trust me, I will handle it and everything will be fine."

Cheng Qian'an looked at Song Yuqi and said with a smile.

Song Yuqi looked at the confident Cheng Qian'an, and her words turned into a sigh, and she shook her head helplessly.

Things have not come to this yet, things have come to this.

...

As October passes, Twice's return is getting closer and closer.

The return notices are also constantly being released.

Among them, on October [-], the return concept video was officially released.

With the help of Cheng Qian'an, the expectations of Kpop fans, especially Twice fans, have been raised. When it was released, it became a hot trend and hot post at home and abroad.

ASAP's advanced musicality and concept caught the ears of fans from the beginning, and the return concept video became a huge hit and the number of views soared.

The breakthrough music style and the return quality beyond the previous specifications have rekindled the enthusiasm of the fan base that has been sluggish after the return of More and More.

It has completely and completely raised fans' expectations and enthusiasm for their comeback.

The most intuitive reflection is the increase in album pre-sales again!
On the original historical track, Twice’s sales in the first week of this comeback were not as high as the first-day sales of More and More, which is enough to see how serious the blow was.

A considerable number of fans in South Korea have run away, and the reasons need not be elaborated.

The main force is always the silent majority, and followers are always silent. In the Internet age, the groups that actively express their opinions do not represent the majority of the group.

But this time, local fans still lost fans according to the original historical trajectory.

But because of the high-profile comeback concept video led by Cheng Qianan, the remaining fans were stimulated and were really trying to increase sales.

And Kpop casual fans are attracted, which means it attracts new fan groups. Some of these fan groups are domestic, but most of them are overseas.

But after all, there is no real comeback, even if the album pre-sales volume is stimulated by this time, it cannot catch up with the previous pre-sale record.

However, the effect caused by Cheng Qian'an has been widely discussed since the release of the concept video of the return. "I'm looking forward to it, it's Cheng Qian'an and Twice!"

"It can only be said that it is a gold medal producer. You can feel the difference from the last time before you come back."

"This is how you should be treated. It's obviously Twice, but I can't feel that there is any planning at the level that I have returned to before."

"I really feel how strong Cheng Qian'an is. It's not at the level that JYP can do..."

"Dafabet, you're crazy. You can already feel the next-generation quality even before you come back."

"This comeback is so good, but I want to ask what JYP was doing before?"

"Surprise... BlackPink just came back, I didn't expect Twice to come back right after."

"I hope Cheng Qian'an will come to the rescue and stop committing fraud like last time."

As the return approaches, the release of trailers one after another continues to arouse the public's interest again.

And one week before the comeback, with the expectations constantly being raised, the prelude song Ditto was released first!
Melon instantly landed 40 people, with [-] listeners on the first day and over [-] likes in one hour.

Lists other than Melon, such as Bugs and Genie, ranked first or second.

Based on the original historical trajectory, Twice's comeback title song had only 20 listeners on the first day, which was nearly half a million listeners compared to more and more's return.

It took three hours to reach [-] likes.

You may not be able to see this result just by talking about it, but at the same time, the boyz, a second- and third-tier boy band, had more than [-] likes in less than an hour after their return. This is enough to show how serious Twice fans are.

The results on the first day reflected the response to the last return.

From the halving and cliff-like drop in listenership, we can fully see how poor the response to More and More's return was, how deep the gap felt among fans, and how badly the reputation of the music source was ruined.

The biggest reason is that More and More's comeback is too bad, and the second is the fatal blow of the relationship. Under the simultaneous action of the two, Twice is completely knocked down from the altar, and there is no possibility of turning over.

Enlightened fans all say that they support dating and that there is no problem. They even think that boyfriend fans are narrow-minded, cannot keep up with the times, and are restrictive to idols. They criticize and support idols' dating.

But the fact is that the main fans of idols are boyfriend fans. Falling in love is undoubtedly a fatal blow to idols, and these people are silent and run silently.

When there is no controversy about dating and no fans protesting and full of blessings, it means that idol is really out of date and has withdrawn from the public's field of vision.

In this preview, due to the bonus of the Cheng Qian'an effect, there is a bonus of 20 compared to the original time and space. It can no longer be said to be unprecedented, at least it is an unprecedented achievement.

One person can carry 20 yuan alone, which no music producer before has been able to do.

Ditto's Melon ended up at tenth on the first day, ten places ahead of the original time and space.

The MV was also released simultaneously with the song.

Compared with the super high quality of the song, the MV is a bit underwhelming. It can only be said to be reasonable and barely holding back.

With 40 listens on the first day, some people are actually saying bad things. Compared with the last 70 listens, it has dropped by nearly half. It cannot beat BlackPink, who returned at the beginning of the month.

And with the release of the first day of the prelude, Ditto's own music quality began to show strength.

The melodious melody, the slightly advanced but not avant-garde production in [-], launched Ditto's own sound source counterattack!

The next day, it remained at tenth in the sound source.

This is due to the revised Melon list rules and the inertia of idols’ main hits being high on the first day of their return and then falling the next day. The tradition has also been broken.

The curve is starting to rise!
The sound source began to ferment, and it began to rise to ninth on the third day!

And who is at the top of the list at the same time?
Number one on the list is Dynamite, BTS’s comeback English single in the middle of the year.

The sound source is very strong, and it is still No. 1 today, without any decline. According to predictions, if the ranking is based on the charts in non-natural years, Dynamite will be No. 1 on the annual list.

The second one on the list is Cheng Qianan's own song. The ballad "By Drunkness" has always been a favorite of Koreans.

No. 3 is Lovesick Girl by BlackPink, and No. [-] is When we disco, a collaboration between JYP and Sunmi.

The most competitive ones are the above songs, and Ditto gradually counterattacked the list and achieved an upward trend with the gradually fermenting reputation of the music source.

This was something no one expected.

Ditto is not a conventional girl group song, and the melody is not the style of a girl group song that has topped the charts in the past.

It completely breaks people's inherent concepts.

But the fact is that Koreans are particularly fond of this song. Since the fourth day, it has succeeded in reaching No. 1 on the daily chart with an unstoppable momentum.

This surprised everyone and set off Korean forums.

Everyone thought that Twice was going to decline, but who would have thought that this song would come out at the end of the year and directly lift Twice back, and in the most uncontroversial way.

No matter how weird it is, most of the praise is given to Cheng Qian'an. For the singer Twice, most of them just praise the singer for his good performance, and nothing else.

In fact, the song Ditto completely breaks the convention of previous girl group songs and is completely inconsistent with Twice's past style.

To achieve this result, Cheng Qianan is the absolute protagonist and operator, and has nothing to do with Twice itself.

In other words, anyone who sings can become famous, and it won't have any impact if an ordinary person sings.

Ditto is also considered the best fan song by Twice fans and Kpop fans. Both internally and externally, it embodies the lyrics and emotions that the fans want to communicate and exchange feelings with.

This is simply pouring a pot of hot oil directly into Twice's next regular song comeback, and it burst into flames in an instant, igniting the Korean public's expectations for the subsequent return of Twice's title song in the most brutal and straightforward way.

On October 26th, at [-] pm Korean time, Twice will officially return with their second regular album!

With the linkage effect of Ditto, the title song After Like landed at number two on Melon, with 70 listens on the first day, returning to the heyday of the More and More era!
The first-day sales also fell at the 20 mark, and the final first-week sales fell at 30.

According to the original historical trajectory, sales were 23 on the first day and [-] in the first week.

Comparing the album sales of More and More, it was 27 on the first day and 33 in the first week.

This time, under the influence of the Cheng Qian'an effect, a considerable breakthrough has been made. If there is no regression, it is unprecedented progress, and it is all to offset the evil consequences brought before.

In contrast, it is truly changing history and creating a new path.

Along with the return of the title song, the entire album's songs were announced, and the luxurious lineup also amazed the outside world.

This is crazy. Six of the songs in an album were written by Cheng Qianan himself. This is simply unprecedented. Do you want to make history?

One thing that makes the outside world sigh with emotion is that Cheng Qianan released so many hit songs one after another in just over a year with full calculation.

It can even be said that half of the country belongs to Cheng Qian'an, and sometimes he even beats himself.

Among them, the six singles that Cheng Qianan was personally responsible for all entered the charts, but they were all low in the air, around the top [-].

The reason is also very simple. No one will listen to the included songs except fans, and no one will listen to them without promotion. This is true no matter what group they are.

Unless it was Twice who had a reign of terror in [-], it was possible then, but it is absolutely impossible now.

Cheng Qian'an struck while the iron was hot and promoted it hard on his own social platforms, promoting his own songs many times.

More or less, the number of listeners has increased, mainly RUN2U and Poppy, which stopped rising after reaching fifty or sixty.

As for Cupid, it slipped out of the Melon list in obscurity and is not popular among Koreans.

However, this is still the case. The music quality of the entire album has still received considerable public recognition, and has even been elevated to the ranks of the best albums this year.

The evaluation of this album will become higher and higher with the passage of time and the sound source trend of the songs, until it becomes recognized as the best album of a girl group!
The main songs are Ditto and AfterLike.

A week later, a dramatic scene took place. The title song was not even included in the prelude. Ditto firmly occupied the top spot on the list, with daily real-time listeners exceeding 50!

This is almost the best result Twice has ever created. There has not been such a good result since Cheer Up TT. Now Ditto's strength has once again broken the result created by Twice in [-].

In contrast, After Like is not so eye-catching, and it keeps fluctuating back and forth between the second and third places on the list.

And a week later, the results of Twice's return were put in front of everyone, completely making all the naysayers speechless.

Is this a downhill road or a strong uphill road to rejuvenation? It is completely inconsistent with the path that a girl group that has experienced many blows should take.

Who is the number one girl group? This topic has once again fallen into controversy. With the fight between the two fans, it seems that there is no end in sight within a year and a half.

The sales volume of the album has also been driven by the reputation of the sound source, the return of fans' confidence, and the addition of new fans. It has maintained a fairly stable and strong path, steadily exceeding 50 copies, and heading towards one million sales.

This is a completely gorgeous test paper that was handed over, which strongly proves Cheng Qianan's current production level and strength.

Today, Cheng Qianan has completely confirmed his status as Kpop No. 1 through this album. There is no doubt that he has soared.

At the end of [-], during award ceremonies such as MAMA, MMA, AAA, Golden Disc Awards, Seoul Music Awards, GCA, etc.

Cheng Qian'an entered the candidate list for best producer, best composer, etc. in an undisputed way, and almost became the most powerful candidate for the award in an unparalleled way.

And when the time came to mid-November [-], a song that caught everyone's surprise captured the attention of the Korean public!

Cupid has quietly entered Billboard's Hot 100!

This is the most valuable list compared to album charts and other lists covered by Billboard!
Twice's Cupid broke into the list quietly, ranking 89th.

Although the ranking is low, what almost everyone can see is that relying on the quality of its own sound source rather than relying on fans to brush up the rankings, subsequent ranking increases are a sure thing.

Under this, Twice launched the English version of Cupid in full swing, successfully replacing the original Korean version and making it more in line with Western listener habits.

As a result, Cupid's ranking has risen steadily in a strong and unstoppable way, and in the third week, it successfully broke into the top [-]!
Every next step is setting a record!
With the exception of BTS, who have almost no replicas, Twice was the first to enter the charts with a real level of music production quality, in the least noisy way.

And with the continuous rise in the last month of December, and the ranking rose to the top [-], after maintaining a strong listening, everything is no longer in doubt.

There is no longer any doubt about Twice. After a short period of more than a month of controversy over being the number one girl group, Twice has used actual results to prove who is the real international girl group.

Who has truly stepped out of Asia and into the center of world pop music, setting a new record for girl groups, which also symbolizes that JYP's dream of becoming a beauty has succeeded in an unexpected way at this moment.

The news of this achievement spread to South Korea as early as when it entered the Billboard list.

Flowers bloom outside the wall and fragrance is inside, and imported products are always popular. Twice represents South Korea's brilliant achievements in the American music market. The status of the number one girl group has been completely confirmed by South Korean officials!

"Twice, Korea's No. [-] Girl Group"

"Crazy, that's Billboard"

"Did I read it wrong, it turned out that Twice broke into the billboard?"

"I'm really speechless..."

"Totally shocked, who would have thought?"

"The boy group has BTS, the girl group has Twice, the glory of the Korean nation!"

"Is Cheng Qian'an a god? His ancestors are Korean, right?"

"The international girl group has always been BlackPink, but Twice has actually created achievements that exceed who knows how much. So who is the international girl group?"

"Please BlackPink fans stop being so harsh, it really looks like a clown"

"Twice represents the Republic of Korea and once again conquered the world's audience..."

One album has made him a god, and he has blossomed both at home and abroad. Cheng Qianan's ability is so outstanding that it can be said to be unprecedented. Whether there is anyone who comes next, it will be difficult to see it at least in the next one or two years.

Backstage at the MaMa Awards Ceremony.

Cheng Qian'an was wearing a crisp suit, standing tall and energetic, looking at the Twice members in front of him.

"I'm going to receive the award later, how do I look?"

"Very handsome, totally handsome."

Lin Nalian has a lively and out-of-the-box personality, and now she is almost completely undisguised. She almost said it herself about getting back together with Cheng Qianan.

This shocked everyone who saw it.

But under the blooming flowers of return, and in the face of all the great achievements created by Cheng Qian'an, it seems that it can become unacceptable, but at least there is no disgust.

Compared with others, Cheng Qianan's help in their careers can completely offset these negative effects, which is even reasonable.

"How about it?"

Cheng Qian'an turned to look at Mingjing Nan in the same way and asked with a smile.

"He's handsome."

Minami tilted her head slightly, smiling softly and brightly.

Cheng Qianan nodded with satisfaction and was about to stand up and walk to the stage to receive his trophy.

Saka Minatozaki stood aside and silently watched the three of them showing off their affection here. She felt a trace of loneliness that came from nowhere in her heart, but her eyes covered it well.

But his steps stopped for a moment, and he turned slightly sideways to look at Saka Minatozaki beside him.

"Help me straighten my tie."

Cheng Qianan lowered his head slightly and looked at Minazaki Saka with a smile in his eyes.

Faced with his sudden requests and actions, everyone present was puzzled.

Minazaki Saka, who was the first to bear the brunt, her eyes were panicked for a moment, then she calmed down and pursed her lips.

Under everyone's gaze, she silently raised her hands and carefully straightened his tie, smoothing the wrinkles with her deft hands.

Minazaki Saka looked up at his chest. After finishing, she took a step back slightly and said softly: "Okay."

"Then let me go and go on stage to receive the award!"

Cheng Qianan looked at Saka Minatozaki, then turned to look at all the members of Twice, smiled happily, and strode towards the stage.

Minazaki Saka's ears were faintly pink, but her eyes were silently watching his back go away.

"He's always been so attractive, hasn't he?"

At some point, Nai Minami stood beside Minazaki Saka, looking at Cheng Qianan's back, and said thoughtfully.

"Ah."

Minozaki Saka turned her head hastily, looked at Nai Minami, and then gave a soft echo.

"What are you muttering under your breath?"

Lin Nalian, who was standing not far away, said loudly to attract the attention of the two people. The two turned their heads and looked at Lin Nalian.

Lin Nalian crossed her arms and stared at the two of them.

"Let's go, we have to go back and prepare the stage."

Lin Nayeon's eyes lingered on Minozaki Sasha's body for a long time, and finally she just said this and turned to leave.

Seeing that there were no footsteps behind him, he stopped and looked back, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Seeing this, Nai Minami turned to look at Minatozaki Saka, with a slight smile on her face.

"Let's go."

As the three people walked forward and backward, the sound of awarding awards at the front desk also resounded throughout the venue.

"In [-], the best producer of MAMA is..."

"Cheng Qian'an!"

...

Finish the flower.
