After the Aurora boy band's single "Aurora in Dreams" was released, the number of listens and the popularity of the song showed a rising trend. For a time, no one could compete with it among the new songs in the same period. This made Aurora fans extremely happy. .
In contrast, after the EN boy band's "Rose Nebula" was released, although the number of auditions was also considerable, due to the lack of promotion and distribution efforts as Aurora, it initially ranked only ninth on the new song list.
The team of the Aurora boy band carried out all-round promotion of the new song as soon as it was released. In addition to each member directly retweeting the song, they also bought several hot searches, and the marketing account was dispatched across the entire network. "Aurora in Dreams" entered the public eye.
But in contrast, SC Entertainment has no news except the trailer clip released on the official Weibo, and the members only briefly posted to inform fans after the new song was released. Many fans only found out that the debut single was released after seeing the idol's blog.
This seems like a very serious mistake for an entertainment company. After all, SC Entertainment is not a small company, so there is no need to save money in this area. What's more, this is the first debut song of the EN boy group, so it should be promoted more.
In the eyes of industry insiders, this is a decision-making mistake by SC Entertainment, and they all feel sorry for the EN boy group - after all, the song "Rose Nebula" is still very good.
With almost zero publicity, "Rose Nebula" still relied on the young people's beautiful voices and well-made arrangements to steadily rise in the new song list, quickly rising from ninth to fifth.
This is actually a strength that cannot be underestimated, but for some fans of the Aurora boy group, it has become a very big joke, and their ridicule of the EN boy group has become even more intense.
"I just said they are a fast food boy band, now their true colors are revealed."
"What's the use of hiring a gold medal songwriter? It's just that he can't compare with our big A group."
"Tsk, tsk, next time a certain boy group releases a single, remember to avoid our group A."
His words were full of pride. In fact, they were a little worried that this boy band would pose a threat to Group A, but after seeing that the ranking of "Rose Nebula" was not optimistic, they felt relieved.
Fans of the en boy band don't particularly care about this, for no other reason than - this song is really good! At the same time, because the MV has not been released yet, fans are urging the official to release the MV as soon as possible.
As the captain, Ji Zeyu was not satisfied with "Rose Nebula" only ranking fifth. Because the teammates have put a lot of effort into recording the single during this time, and the melody and lyrics of this song deserve a higher ranking.
Although for a new song with little publicity, it is gratifying enough to rank fifth on the first day, but Ji Zeyu's goal in mind is the Star Rhythm Award, so it is inevitable that he will feel that it has not met expectations, and he will feel a little disappointed.
"The new songs have been released, so don't worry too much about the rankings." Cheng Xi saw that everyone was very concerned about the performance of the debut song, and would check the rankings on their phones from time to time, so she comforted them, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. "
Some time ago, Cheng Xi was the one who put the most pressure on his teammates, but now he is very relaxed and doesn't seem to care about the ranking at all.
In order to divert everyone's attention, Cheng Xi said to everyone: "To celebrate the release of the new song, let's record an exciting group show."
The teenagers had not recorded a group performance yet. Everyone put down their mobile phones and got rid of the tension. Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Cheng Xi said before that everyone can play with the content of the group show at will, so he gave everyone a lot of shooting plans to choose from. The winners in the end were various game sessions that competed in physical strength, intelligence, and reaction ability, which is enough to show that these teenagers They have a strong competitive spirit.
"Then let's record the physical competition today." Cheng Xi took out a shooting plan, opened the folder and said, "This is the first episode of the group show. You guys will perform well when filming later."
The members were all gearing up and eager to give it a try, and Ji Zeyu temporarily put behind him the worries of unsatisfactory results in his new songs.
The first event of the physical competition is "Stone Thigh". The rules of the competition are that two people sit face to face on a chair, keeping a certain distance. The attacker closes his legs, while the defender clamps the opponent's thigh with his thighs. If the attacker can use the strength of his thighs to separate the defender's thighs, the attacker wins, otherwise the defender wins.
"Let's play against each other, the loser will be eliminated, and the winner will advance to the next round." Cheng Xi looked at the number of people on the field, and added, "If there is an odd number of people on the field, draw lots to decide one of them will advance directly. .”
The person who advanced directly to the first round was Xiao Huai. He was jumping up and down with joy, waiting to watch the show.
The recording location was on the lawn outside the villa, and two chairs were ready.
Wan Long and Gu Weicheng were the first pair to compete, but Wan Long lost the guessing game and became the defender.
In this game, the defender usually suffers more, and Gu Weicheng is obviously stronger than Wan Long, so the latter sat on the chair and called "unfair" and said: "How can I be better than him? ?”
After Wan Taki clamped his opponent's legs with his thighs, the game officially started in three seconds.
Originally, Wan Taki planned to struggle, but the confrontation between the two lasted for less than five seconds when a miserable scream sounded from the lawn: "Ah, shit, it hurts, it hurts—"
Gu Weicheng broke free from Wan Long's restraints in an instant, and Wan Long felt the soreness of cramps in his thighs. When his legs were spread apart, it was like a split in the crotch.
Gu Weicheng scratched his head: "I didn't even try hard, why did you lose?"
Wan Taki covered his crotch, looking like he was about to cry but without tears: "You don't call it hard? Are you talking in human language?"
"Oh my god, is this game so scary?" Bai Shengjie looked surprised.
Xiao Huai was also trembling at the side: "Fortunately, I didn't play..."
Ji Zeyu looked at Wan Long's actions with sympathetic eyes, and at the same time prayed in his heart not to become the defender.
Lu Nanyun frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.
The person Ji Zeyu drew lots was Qi Aodong.
This game was just an ordinary game for Qi Aodong, but when his opponent was Ji Zeyu, everything seemed to be different.
"Do you want to choose the offensive side or the defensive side?" Ji Zeyu sat on the chair and looked at Qi Aodong and asked.
Qi Aodong was a little nervous. His eyes fell on Ji Zeyu's thigh, then slowly moved away, and said casually: "I can do it."
"Then let's play guessing." Ji Zeyu said.
After Qi Aodong agreed, Ji Zeyu won the guessing game and chose the attacking side.
Qi Aodong adjusted his sitting posture, waited for Ji Zeyu to position his legs, and then clamped them with his slender thighs, and the confrontation game officially began.
The moment he touched Ji Zeyu's legs, Qi Aodong's heartbeat accelerated wildly. He swallowed involuntarily, feeling that he couldn't exert any effort at all.
Qi Aodong's thighs couldn't hold on for long, and were quickly separated by Ji Zeyu easily. Of course this was because Qi Aodong was too nervous, but it could also be seen that Ji Zeyu's leg muscles were actually quite developed.
In the show, Ji Zeyu spends a long time in the dance studio every day and insists on aerobic exercise every day, so his legs do not look thick, but are actually very strong.
The person who competed against Ji Zeyu in the second round was Xiao Huai.
This time Ji Zeyu still became the attacker. The moment Xiao Huai closed his legs, he also showed the same unnatural expression as Qi Aodong.
Outside the court, Luo Ming frowned at Xiao Huai and said coldly: "Xiao Huai, you should admit defeat quickly. Don't waste time. The captain's legs are much stronger than yours." He didn't really want to see the two of them touching their legs. .
Lu Nanyun's face had no expression, but his eyes were fixed on the legs of Ji Zeyu and Xiao Huai, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Qi Aodong felt very regretful. He should have persisted a little longer just now. This was a rare opportunity for physical contact with the captain.
Xiao Huai thought so too, so he tried hard to tighten his thigh muscles, trying to restrain Ji Zeyu for a while, but he couldn't hold on for long and was broken within seven seconds. Fortunately, his strength is pretty good and he won't pull his crotch like Wan Taki.
In the third round, Ji Zeyu was very lucky and got the promotion lottery and directly entered the finals.
The semi-finals were a contest between Lu Nanyun and Gu Weicheng. The two were in a stalemate for a long time. In the end, Lu Nanyun was slightly better and won the game.
As a result, the final became a contest between Lu Nanyun and Ji Zeyu.
"Come on, captain!" Bai Shengjie cheered for Ji Zeyu from the side, "You win if you last five seconds."
Wan Long said weakly to Ji Zeyu: "Captain, don't be a defender, it's too easy to pull your crotch."
Before the game started, Lu Nanyun looked at Ji Zeyu calmly and said to him: "You choose the offensive side."
Ji Zeyu originally didn't care, but what Lu Nanyun said made him feel underestimated, so he said, "Why, I have to be the defender."
However, after saying these words, Ji Zeyu felt regretful. He glanced at Lu Nanyun's strong and slender legs and felt as if he would be stretched out instantly.
Ji Zeyu swallowed and looked at Lu Nanyun cautiously.
"Okay." Lu Nanyun said calmly, "Then you will be the defender."
Ji Zeyu had no choice but to hold onto Lu Nanyun's thighs and take a deep breath, hoping to survive five seconds.
There are differences in the thickness of their legs and muscle lines between the two, but Lu Nanyun has the upper hand no matter what.
After the game started, Ji Zeyu instantly felt that Lu Nanyun was exerting force, and there was a faint tendency to spread his legs. He hurriedly stabilized his breathing and tried to maintain the balance of the situation.
Lu Nanyun frowned slightly, and the stalemate between the two lasted for more than ten seconds.
Gu Weicheng showed an expression of disbelief: "No, the captain is so strong?!"
At this moment, the pressure Lu Nanyun put on Ji Zeyu disappeared. Lu Nanyun adjusted her breathing and said to the staff: "I competed with Gu Weicheng for too long just now. I will admit defeat this round."
Ji Zeyu couldn't hold on any longer, and he might have his crotch ripped off after a while, but now Lu Nanyun actually gave up because of lack of physical strength
Everyone looked incredulously.
"Captain actually won?"
"Holy shit, the team leader is actually the captain!"
"Captain is so awesome!"
After recording this round of competition, Ji Zeyu took advantage of the break to find Lu Nanyun and whispered to him, "Did you let off steam just now?"
Lu Nanyun was silent for a while, then lifted up his pants. There were two less obvious bruises on his thighs, which made Ji Zeyu's heart tremble slightly.
"Let me go, you are still injured?!" Ji Zeyu widened his eyes in surprise, "What's going on?"
"That kid Gu Weicheng is too strong." Lu Nanyun put down his pants and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's normal. The injuries I usually get during dance practice are much more serious than this."
Ji Zeyu was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Then why didn't you admit defeat when you competed with him, and why did you admit defeat when you came to me?"
Lu Nanyun stared at him. After a while, he slowly said: "Who let you draw the lottery to advance to the finals."
When Ji Zeyu heard this, he didn't understand the meaning of his words at first, but after thinking for a moment, he realized it - was Lu Nanyun afraid that Gu Weicheng would confront him, so he helped him eliminate this opponent in advance

"So you are worried about me..." Ji Zeyu scratched his head, feeling a little moved in his heart, "Actually, I don't have to win. I might give up if I face Gu Weicheng."
Lu Nanyun looked at him without saying a word, and after a moment he let out a low "hmm".
Ji Zeyu said hello to the staff, and then pulled Lu Nanyun to the villa: "Let's apply some medicine first, and we'll record later. I remember I have blood-stasis medicine in my bag."
After the two went upstairs, Ji Zeyu found the bottle of medicine from his bag. Lu Nanyun sat on the floor and lifted up his sweatpants. Ji Zeyu asked him to put his legs on his own and carefully applied medicine to his thighs with a cotton swab.
Lu Nanyun looked at his careful movements so seriously that he almost forgot the passage of time.
When it was almost over, Ji Zeyu breathed on the medicinal oil subconsciously. The cool feeling came from Lu Nanyun's thighs, making him slightly startled.
"It's done." Ji Zeyu helped him put down his pants and smiled, "It should be fine in a short time."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Nanyun, and their eyes met for an instant.
Ji Zeyu was also stunned.
After a brief eye contact, Lu Nanyun put away the emotion in his eyes and said calmly: "Are you in a better mood?"
This question was asked suddenly and somewhat inexplicably, but Ji Zeyu's heart "thumped", and then he had the illusion of being seen through his heart.
After the new song was released, Ji Zeyu's mood has been tense. He has great expectations for this song, but the current ranking is not very ideal, so he is a little disappointed because of this.
But Ji Zeyu did not show these emotions, and other teammates did not notice his unhappiness.
Lu Nanyun's question at this moment caught him off guard.
After being stunned for a moment, Ji Zeyu nodded and replied seriously: "I just saw everyone having a good time, and I feel happy too."
"When recording new songs, you helped your teammates a lot." Lu Nanyun looked at Ji Zeyu and said slowly, "You have done everything you should do, so don't keep thinking about the ranking of the new songs."
Ji Zeyu nodded, lowered his eyes slightly, and said with some hesitation: "That's true, but I'm still afraid that the fans will be disappointed..."
"No." Lu Nanyun's voice was calm and firm, "People who like you will definitely see your efforts."
Ji Zeyu felt relieved after hearing Lu Nanyun's words. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and said, "Well, you're right. But... how do you see that I'm in a bad mood?"
He looked at Lu Nanyun with curious eyes.
Lu Nanyun didn't speak. For a long time, he raised the corners of his lips and said lightly: "I won't tell you." There was a hint of tolerance and doting in his eyes that Ji Zeyu couldn't detect.
At midnight, everyone went to bed early because there was a live broadcast of a celebrity ceremony the next day inviting them to be guests. Not only will they walk the red carpet, but they will also meet the Aurora boy band at the ceremony, so they must ensure they are in good condition.
In Xiao Huai's words: New songs can't be compared, but red carpets can never be compared.
Ji Zeyu also went to bed early. After not caring about the rankings, he felt much more relaxed than last night.
At the same time, SC Entertainment launched the MV for "Rose Nebula" at zero o'clock.
After the new song was released, Jiang Li was originally unhappy with SC Entertainment's inaction, but she remained rational and chose to wait for the fan club to communicate with SC Entertainment before making a statement.
Before going to bed, Jiang Li habitually opened a certain video platform and suddenly came across the MV for "Rose Nebula". Surprised, she watched the full version of the MV and the dance studio version, and couldn't help but applaud the song's choreography.
The choreography of the whole song fits the theme very well. There is a mystery hidden in the gorgeousness. The dancing skills of the young people are vividly displayed in the beautiful music, and they also show their handsomeness and youthfulness.
More importantly, the difficulty level of this dance is not high.
Jiang Li is a dance novice. After watching it, she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to dance this dance. Thinking about it, she felt itchy and wanted to learn this dance right away.
After being amazed by the dance, Jiang Li couldn't help but watch the dance studio version of the MV several times.
After watching it, Jiang Li was still unsatisfied. She was about to ask SC Entertainment if they had any plans to promote the music video, but suddenly she saw an obvious topic hanging on the real-time hot search list of the video software -
#rosenebuladancechallenge#.
It's actually ranked third, considering that the MV was only online less than an hour ago.
Jiang Li suspected that she was dazzled, refreshed the software, and finally confirmed that it was true.
She held back her excitement and clicked on this topic area. Someone had posted a challenge video a few seconds ago. It was a girl dancing in her bedroom in her pajamas. The content of the dance was the chorus of "Rose Nebula". The video was The number of likes and retweets soared to over 1,000 within minutes.
Netizens in the comment area expressed that they were intrigued by this dance in the middle of the night.
"This dance is so beautiful. Can you give me a tutorial?"
"I want to learn too! If I want to dance during a cultural performance, it shouldn't be difficult!"
"The choreography is very advanced, and the music is also nice. I like it so much."
"I would like to ask, what is the name of this song, and why I haven't heard it since it sounds so good?"
"Didn't you see the big words on the topic, "Rose Nebula"!"
At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly understood that SC Entertainment had hidden such a trump card!
At this moment, the playback volume of "Rose Nebula" is soaring at an incredible speed on the new song rankings.
The competition between the Aurora boy group and the EN boy group has only now officially begun.
