Chapter 214: Day 210 of Being a Boss (School Anniversary)
In May, the group released their first mini album "M", which included the songs "BAE BAE" and "LOSER".
BIGBANG's influence is indeed quite amazing. Once released, these two songs quickly occupied the first and second places on the rankings of the top ten domestic music websites, and even topped the US Billboard World Digital Songs section.
The same goes for the charts in China. The sales of digital albums have exceeded 300,000 copies in less than two weeks.
Xu Yisong was overwhelmed when looking at their results. She felt that if she let Zheng Nico release an album this month, all the subsequent promotions would conflict with each other, and she would definitely not get any first place.
But if they don’t release a new album at this time, they will have to wait until BIGBANG’s album is released in September.
But the problem is that if we really wait until then, the day lily will be cold and it will be the end of the year!
Xu Yisong originally thought that BIGBANG's new album would only have a peak period of two months at most, and they could release it later. Who would have thought that they would split the album up for promotion in this way?
Looking at the battle line that was suddenly stretched, Xu Yisong had already thanked the person in YG who came up with this album release method countless times in his heart.
Finally, Xu Yisong decided to stick to the original plan and release the new album at the end of this month. Since it was bound to hit the same spot, they might as well just give up. There was no hope of getting the first place, but it was a mini album anyway, and their goal was not to get the first place, but to make a name for themselves.
So in late May, the FYH official website announced Zheng Nico's first solo mini album "Frist Romance". The album has a total of six songs, the main title is "MAMA", and there is only one MV.
This time, both the song and the style are completely different from Zheng Nicole's previous image. The young and beautiful cutie suddenly transformed into a sexy stunner. Even with the warm-up video she shot with Xu Yisong before, Zheng Nicole's fans still felt shocked.
Just like what the lyrics say, "My family has no idea that I have this side to me", her fans never imagined that Nicole Jung has such a sexy side.
With the cool and mysterious tunes and sexy dance steps, Nicole Zheng is like a little wild cat that has just stepped into the jungle, attracting people to approach her, completely ignoring the fact that beauty is often accompanied by danger.
There were also some fans who expressed that they could not accept Zheng Nicole's sudden transformation into such a style. Such fans were not a minority, so the company responded: FYH's style is to have no style. In FYH, everyone has a different face, and no artist will always have only one style.
Combining the various concepts launched by FYH before, everyone discovered that FYH really seems to have never had a fixed style, but every concept launched can amaze everyone.
And to be honest, there is nothing wrong with Zheng Nico's mini album this time. It's just that the sudden change in style made them a little uncomfortable. But putting aside the original preconceived impression, there is nothing to pick on this album in terms of quality or makeup.
After figuring this out, it is actually quite easy to accept. When watching this album again, fans even suddenly discovered that Nicole Jung is actually quite suitable for this sexy style.
Zheng Nicole has a beautiful appearance and a good figure. Long-term fitness has made her body beautiful and powerful at the same time. Therefore, even with this sexy style, it will not produce the discomfort of kitsch. Instead, it shows a more beautiful and seductive pure beauty of women.
The songs in this mini album are of high quality, but as Xu Yisong expected, they did not make a big splash in Korea. However, they still made it into the top five of major music charts, and Xu Yisong is already very satisfied with this result.
Because the original plan was to expand overseas markets, the company also produced a Japanese version of the album's title song. Compared with its sales in Japan, this album is much more popular in Japan, even taking the top spot on the Japanese music charts weekly chart.
In addition to this, the end of the month coincides with the anniversary celebration of Yonsei University, and Yonsei University has also invited FYH to participate. In addition to Heo Yi-sung being invited to attend individually, Yonsei actually reserved two additional spots for FYH and very humanely let FYH decide for themselves.
But this was a privilege she had only, and Xu Yisong accepted the favor.
Just a few days after Zheng Nicole's new album was released, Xu Yisong gave this spot to Zheng Nicole, giving her another opportunity to promote her new song. The other opportunity was given to another pillar of the company, Blue Whale, who is also preparing to return in the second half of this year.
Yonsei University's main color is blue, which symbolizes freedom and the future. On the day of the school anniversary, Heo Yi-sung also wore a sea blue suspender slim waist fishtail dress. Other performing guests also wore clothes or items with blue elements to a greater or lesser extent.
I have to say that Yonsei was really generous this year. Not only did they invite EXO, which has been very popular in the past two years, but Heo Yisung also saw Leessang during the rehearsal. Leessang can be said to be a super senior among South Korean rappers. Even Heo Yisung, who was abroad and didn't pay much attention to Korean entertainment before, knew their songs.
The song "The Woman Who Can't Be Separated, the Man Who Can't Leave" even stayed as the ringtone in Xu Yisong's phone for more than a month. You have to know that Xu Yisong is the kind of person who changes his ringtone every week.
Previously, one of the members of Leessang, Gill, suspended his activities due to drunk driving, and many people thought that they would never see Leessang together again, but unexpectedly they saw them at Yonsei’s school anniversary.
Leessang's rap style is very soft, and Xu Yisong likes this kind of quiet hip-hop very much. Xu Yisong can basically sing all the songs they sing on stage now, and he remembers the lyrics more clearly than his own songs.
However, Xu Yisong could only recite along with Gary's rap part. His rhyme was different from other rappers. He would deliberately stagger the beat. It was very special but also difficult to sing. Most people couldn't learn it.
Xu Yisong's performance was scheduled later, so she happened to be sitting in the audience watching other people's performances.
Although it is only rehearsal time, Xu Yisong can already imagine the atmosphere in the evening by looking at the empty seats around him. After all, at an occasion like a school anniversary, even if you sing Three Little Bears, the students will sing along, so how can the atmosphere be bad?
She still remembers that what she looked forward to most during her student days was this kind of campus party, which was an indispensable and beautiful memory of campus life.
