At the beginning, what attracted passers-by to the song "Eleven Novae" was not the song itself, but the song's MV.
At Ji Zeyu's suggestion, the MV for this song adopted a very story-telling script and was directed by a director who is good at shooting MVs. The picture is very high-end.
The problem of slow updates of new chapters has finally been solved with an app that can change sources. Download the huanyuanapp.org source-changing app here and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.
As Ji Zeyu said, the content of the mv is not "based on the present", but starts from the "future".
The MV begins with the sound of a door opening. A tall man wearing a mature suit opens the door with slender fingers and walks into a low-key and luxurious room. The camera follows his back from the entrance to the bedroom.
The man's back looked a little tired. He took out his huge suitcase and began to pack the clothes and supplies in the room. He seemed to be preparing to move. His movements were crisp and agile.
At this moment, the man took out an old and clean piece of clothing from the closet. It was a blue and white British-style uniform, neatly folded.
His fingers paused slightly, and after a moment, he carefully unfolded his uniform.
Suddenly, the ranking card originally attached to the uniform slipped out and fell gently to the floor.
The man knelt down and picked up the ranking card. The camera turned to the ranking card, and the information on it gradually appeared -
Ji Zeyu.
Class B.
5th place.
This is Ji Zeyu's first announced result in "Stars Shine".
At this moment, the camera finally gave the man a close-up.
Ji Zeyu's bangs were lifted up, and his originally handsome and fair cheeks were put on more mature makeup. His facial features are more three-dimensional, a little less immature and a little more steady. His eyebrows look heroic, the bridge of his nose is high, and his jawline looks brighter.
The only thing that remains unchanged is his handsome face and beautiful amber eyes.
Ji Zeyu stood up, and the black suit he wore was different from his usual style. It made him look upright, calm and steady. At a glance, he could tell that this was Ji Zeyu many years later.
Holding the ranking card in his hand, Ji Zeyu came to the living room and took out a box from the corner, which contained items related to the program.
Gifts from fans, dolls from the show, photos of other contestants, and a game console...
The mature Ji Zeyu was sitting on the sofa, his eyes fell on the box, the picture became blurred, and the prelude of the song also sounded, heralding the official beginning of the theme of "memory", and the silver-white song title appeared in the center of the picture.
"How many idols have you chased/Whose portrait has been posted in your room/Who has witnessed your youth and growth/What is the radical of his last name..."
Ji Zeyu's voice is clear and clean, bringing everyone into the years related to "idol".
The scene in the MV changes like a film and gradually becomes clearer. The scene is of teenagers practicing hard in the practice room. At this time, they have not participated in the draft. Everyone has dreams and an indelible light in their eyes.
“I once longed to stand on the stage/send a little faint light/later I hope to flap my wings and fly/over the surging waves for you…”
The screen began to switch, and the teenagers stood on the stage for the first time. They seemed a little green, but they all worked hard to present their performances and began to shine with their own light.
Each boy in Elevenovae has his own growth trajectory. As the song continues, the boys become more and more confident on the stage. At the end of the first half of the song, what appears is the pyramid of the boys’ debut night.
The memories start with the draft, but they go far beyond the draft.
The choreography of "eleven novae" is relatively simple. The entire MV mainly focuses on the members talking about their own mental journeys, the doubts they received along the way, and everyone's growth.
In the middle of the song, the scene returns to the "future" again. Ji Zeyu took out an album from the box. The packaging was elegant and exquisite, and the name of the group album was written on it.
The camera gave a close-up of the album, with the signatures of eleven people written on it.
Subsequently, what appeared on the screen were the stories of the teenagers after their debut, interspersed with each boy's individual performances, showing the arduous process of album recording and song creation, as well as some precious group videos that have not been broadcast.
At the end of the mv, Ji Zeyu put away the box of memories and sent a message to his former teammates, inviting them to get together.
When the climax of the song comes, the teenagers of elevennovae uniformly change into a mature style. Although everyone's clothes and temperament are different, they complement each other when they stand together.
Many years later, this limited team has long been disbanded, and they will develop in their own fields, but as long as they get together, they will be teammates with a strong relationship.
Eleven teenagers walked onto the stage, each with a silver microphone stand in front of them. On the huge stage, their voices gathered together, conveying the hottest and most sincere emotions to everyone in the audience...
This song is not just a ballad, but a little drumbeat and rhythm are added to the chorus, making the teenagers' singing more powerful and the whole song more penetrating.
"It was you who gave me the strength/to enable me to realize my dreams/in the long years/if I can give you a little bit of hope/that would also be my glorious time."
When the song ended, the MV also ended. The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, but the microphones in the hands of the teenagers were still shining like shining stars. In the end, these eleven stars gathered together, and the silver light illuminated them. Connected into two letters "en".
In the melodious melody, what is sung is not only the memories of idols, but also the memories of fans.
This is a song sung to the EN boy band themselves, and also a song written for their fans. Anyone who has chased stars in the entertainment industry can find resonance in the lyrics.
The clean voices of the teenagers will leave a deep impression after just one listen.
When the MV was posted on Weibo and video websites, it quickly attracted the attention of countless people.
Not only because the MV pictures are full of quality, but also because the boys look so handsome in their own way.
When passers-by clicked in, they were attracted by the micro-movie-like picture, and then immersed themselves in the music. They were touched by the growth of the teenagers, and at the same time they also got a sense of their incredible looks.
It was also the first time for fans to see the mature-style EN boy band. They shouted excitedly in the barrage, "Xiao Wei is so handsome", "Brother Nan is so awesome", "Yu Bao lifts his hair and it kills me"...
Fans who have watched the draft are moved by the memories of the draft, and the memories of idols also carry their laughter and tears.
It seems to be a lyrical MV, but in fact it contains various attractive elements such as high-end texture, memories of star-chasing talent shows, and a mature boy band. In addition, the song itself has a beautiful melody, and the lyrics contain hope for the future. Many people wanted to listen to it again after listening to it, so they couldn't help but buy the electronic album of the en boy band.
""Eleven Novae" is so good. I bought the whole album just for this song and found that the other songs are also great! It's worth it!"
"It's really surprising that a new boy band can have an album of this quality. Both the ballads and fast songs are very nice. There is not a single song in the whole album that is of poor quality."
"I have played the entire album many times. I never thought that one day I would become a fan of a boy band that debuted in a talent show. I never watched talent shows before."
With the help of passers-by, the album sales of the EN boy band began to increase, but they were still suppressed by Aurora.
At the same time, the ballad "Eleven Novae" not only became popular in its music video, but the song itself also gained attention among star-chasing fans.
Many people recalled the idols or celebrities they had chased because of this song. The emotions and original intentions they had felt were extremely precious, so they couldn't help but edit videos for the stars they chased and used this song as the background. music.
Because the lyrics and melody are very suitable for the occasion, the cut video is very tear-jerking.
In the videos made by various fans, the background music attracted everyone's attention.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I have also chased xx. This video makes me cry. What is the background music? It's just foul."
"My tears are free of charge. Although I am no longer a fan of xxx, I still cried because of the background music. This song is so well written."
"After watching this, I also want to cut a video for my idol. Please give me a BGM name!"
"It's the new song "Eleven Novae" by the en boy group. It has the same name as the album name. Everyone can support it!"
On Weibo, many fans moved this type of edited video, and a topic called "Idols You Ever Chased" quietly became popular. It appeared on the hot search lists of major platforms late at night and quickly rose up.
Click on this topic, and you can see that fans from all over the world are sharing their own star-chasing journeys. Although their idols have different origins and different destinies, they can always find resonance in this topic.
Many people cannot understand the group of star-chasing people. There is rarely such a song that shows the precious connection between idols and fans. Of course, "Eleven Novae" also became a hot search and entered the public eye.
"Fans give idols the strength to go on, and idols give fans hope for good things. The lyrics are really well written."
"In fact, fans and idols honor each other. This relationship is so precious."
"The melody is really tear-jerking. My nose hurts halfway through listening to it. Thank you to the EN boy band for writing such a good song."
Compared with "Rose Nebula", which relied on dance to break out of the entertainment industry, this song carries too many emotions and appears heavy and precious. It not only has the imprint of the en boy group itself, but also evokes memories deep in the hearts of countless people.
The morning after the EN boy band's album was released, although sales still lagged behind Aurora, "Eleven Novae" quietly appeared at the top of the new song list.
You know, this is a song that requires payment. This popularity has exceeded the expectations of everyone at SC Entertainment.
At the same time, driven by this song, other songs in the album were also discovered by everyone. Each song has a different concept, while maintaining the popularity of the melody, and the mv is also remarkable, which is great for For a collection of fifteen albums, it can be said to be full of sincerity.
Soon, other songs from the en boy band's album began to appear on the new song list, and their rankings began to rise.
"I think "The Past" sounds very good too! The retro style really irritates me!"
"The melody of "Adventure" is so catchy that I couldn't stop listening to it all day long!!"
"Ah, I'm in love with "Kill Him". This song is so suitable for choreography. The rhythm is really great."
Within twenty hours after the album was released, the new song list on the music platform has undergone a huge change. Six songs in the top ten are from the album of the EN boy group. The top one is "Eleven Novae", while there are only two songs by the Aurora boy group. The song entered the top ten and ranked relatively low.
If the sales of the Aurora boy group are supported by the fan economy, then the album sales of the EN boy group are jointly created by casual fans and group fans who really like the songs.
Moreover, the proportion of passerby fans is still expanding.
Twenty-four hours after the album was released, the album sales growth rate of the Aurora boy group began to slow down, while the songs of the En boy group were bombarding major music software in turn, and the album sales growth rate did not decrease but increased!
Fans of the EN boy group are very excited about this.
"Come on! We still have hope! Sales have caught up!"
"Good songs will definitely be liked by the public. This album is obviously so great!"
"EN boy band will definitely create miracles!"
Inside the office of Xingyu Entertainment.
Ji Zefeng had just finished a meeting and was sitting in front of the computer observing the sales trends of the two major boy bands with a thoughtful expression.
Last night, Ji Zefeng bought thousands of copies of the album as soon as it was released, just to show off for his younger brother. At first he didn't think he would like every song in it, but after listening to it, he got an unexpected surprise.
Seeing the gap between EN boy band's album sales and Aurora's shrinking, Ji Zefeng raised the corners of his lips slightly, showing a pleased look, and then bought another 10,000 albums.
For no other reason than to be happy.
After buying it, Ji Zefeng sent the screenshot to his two other brothers and sisters, saying that he was the most competent brother.
But he was soon slapped in the face. Ji Zicheng and Ji Mingyun each bought more than 20,000 copies and spent more money than him.
Unconvinced, Ji Zefeng bought another 20,000 copies, then sent screenshots to the two of them, and said proudly: "There's nothing to show off."
The sales growth rate of the Aurora boy group is getting slower and slower, while the growth rate of the EN boy group is more than three times that of them, and has always maintained a high number.
Thirty-six hours after album release.
On the new album sales list, the ranking has quietly changed.
Jiang Li has been constantly refreshing the rankings, looking forward to the moment when sales exceed the sales. She checks her mobile phone while eating and sleeping, watching the data catch up little by little, suppressing the tension and excitement in her heart.
During lunch that day, Jiang Li swiped a brush and her eyes widened in disbelief—
The sales volume of the en boy group's group album has risen to the first place! !
She was so excited that she almost couldn't hold her phone steady. She clicked several times before opening the fan group. Sure enough, the number of messages had reached 999+ in an instant, all of them shouting "en awesome".
"Oh my god, it's really amazing! It's faster than I thought!"
"Not only did we surpass them, we also widened the gap. Our opponents are Team A!"
"Team A is number one every year, how can we surpass them?!"
"Who makes the new song so good? There's nothing you can do about it, the audience is not deaf."
"I'll buy ten more to add to the fun!"
In contrast, the fans of the Aurora boy band were collectively in a state of shock and could not believe this fact.
"No, you were overtaken?!"
“Oh my god, what’s going on with their sales?”
"How could it rise so fast! Isn't this unscientific!"
"But having said that, there are so many people around me buying this album, it's unbelievable..."
"Ah, how could this happen!!"
The fans of Group A couldn’t believe it and were extremely angry. However, they had been clamoring to crush the EN boy group in the early stage. At this moment, facing the established fact that their sales were surpassed, they seemed to have seen the most impossible thing in the world. what happened.
Faced with the popularity of en's new song and the counterattack of album sales, fans of Group A gritted their teeth and vowed to surpass them and win back the ranking.
As everyone knows, as a senior group that has been debuting for many years, it has always claimed to be the sales champion, but in a day and a half, it was overtaken by a new boy group. This is a ridiculous thing in itself.
For a time, netizens who had been dissatisfied with the behavior of fans of the Aurora boy band all turned on the mocking mode at this moment.
"How should I put it? As expected, a certain senior group advanced the release date of their album, but did not improve the quality of the album."
"Obviously they just want to swindle money. Only fans of group A will buy it, so let them continue to live in their own world."
"Fans of group A have always believed in the boy group EN. Some people said that if EN can win sales, they will stand on their heads and sing their songs. I want to know if that fan will keep his word?"
"There aren't many songs from Group A that you can listen to. I have lost my fandom. Although the sales are still very strong, it is reasonable to be surpassed. After all, the new songs of the EN boy group are almost dominating the charts."
"This incident shows that things like strength sometimes have nothing to do with qualifications."
"The group I am a fan of has also been ridiculed by fans of group A. I am an old hermaphrodite. I hope I can shut up in the future."
When Ji Zeyu learned the news, he was having dinner with his teammates. Everyone looked at the golden number "1" on the sales rankings. Everyone smiled happily and poured beer and clinked glasses to celebrate.
"Celebrating the number one sales volume," Ji Zeyu glanced at everyone and said in a very pleased tone, "I hope it will continue."
"It's so cool!"
"cheers!"
After a while, Cheng Xi ran in with excitement, took out a small speaker, and shouted loudly: "Everyone! Our sales volume has surpassed us!"
"We celebrated just now." Wan Long glanced at Cheng Xi and said, "You're a step too late."
Lu Nanyun said in a scholarly tone: "I calculated the increase trend yesterday, and it is expected that the sales volume will exceed."
"Actually, I feel that I am not as happy now as when the new song became popular." Xiao Huai said seriously, "How should I put it, although fans of Group A have always used me as an example, saying that someone with my ability can make a debut, The en boy band is definitely a fast food boy band, but I listened to their new song and it’s really not that good... "
Tang Xiayan glanced at Xiao Huai and said calmly: "Don't say this kind of thing outside. Just talk about it in private."
Cheng Xi suddenly felt a little depressed: "Damn, you should act a little more excited, I got the trumpet for nothing."
"Actually, I'm quite happy." Ji Zeyu comforted Cheng Xi, "But what's actually more fun is the whole process. After all, many people are praising our progress."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Everyone in the en boy band does not put their short-sighted focus on sales. They pay more attention to market feedback and music critics' evaluations. These are the driving forces for them to move forward.
If they had been impatient from the beginning, then this album would not have become the number one best-selling album now.
On the Internet, many professional music critics have written reviews of this album. Their reviews are all different. There are some praises and some derogations. Generally speaking, there are far more praises than derogations. .
In these reviews, music critics seem to have reached a consensus on the same thing, that is -
This album by the en boy group has become a popular candidate for the Best Group Album in this year's Star Awards.
Three days later, the album sales of the En Boy Group have already surpassed the Aurora Boy Group by a large margin. No matter how rich the fans of the Aurora Boy Group are, they will not be able to catch up.
In the first week, the sales volume of the album "Eleven Novae" exceeded 3.5 million copies, and the physical album volume exceeded 150,000 copies, creating tens of millions of yuan in profits for SC Entertainment.
In order to celebrate this achievement, SC Entertainment released a "Collector's Edition Physical Album" after the first week. The album's packaging should be more exquisite, with the signatures of eleven teenagers on it, and various precious peripherals will be given away.
The collection album is limited to 20,000 copies and was released on a certain sales platform. Due to the influx of a large number of fans, the platform was slightly laggy.
The 20,000 copies of the collection album were sold out in 48 seconds, which shocked everyone and heralded that the en boy band's popularity has successfully reached a new level with this album.
Ji Zeyu's number of Weibo fans has skyrocketed, and it won't be long before it exceeds 30 million. The popularity of others is also rising, and the momentum is very fierce.
No one sees them as a newly debuted men's draft team.
Their growth rate can only be described as "horrible".
On this day, SC Entertainment held a grand celebration banquet for the members of the boy band. For the first time, major shareholders attended the banquet and expressed their appreciation for the boy band in person.
Ji Zeyu stands out among them. He is the most popular player in the EN boy group and has also made a lot of contributions in the recording of the album. Therefore, many middle-aged leaders want to toast him.
Ji Zeyu already knew that he was not a good drinker. He was about to refuse, but his teammates around him reacted faster than him.
As long as someone comes to toast Ji Zeyu, several other teammates will stand up and quietly block the drink for him, while Ji Zeyu stands aside and avoids the danger of getting drunk.
Among them, the person who stood in the way of drinking for Ji Zeyu the most was Lu Nanyun.
Lu Nanyun moved very quickly, and the Lu family had a good reputation in the business world, so he could easily block the toast from the leader as long as he slightly raised his lips and handed the glass to the leader.
Ji Zeyu felt a little distressed when he saw Lu Nanyun calmly holding back one glass of wine after another.
Taking advantage of the break, Ji Zeyu whispered to Lu Nanyun: "I'll drink it by myself in a while. At worst, drink less..."
"Just sit down." Lu Nanyun wiped his mouth and said calmly, "If you are drunk, I will not let you go back to your room to sleep."
Ji Zeyu was stunned for a moment, always feeling that there was something strange about this sentence, but he also felt a little moved.
Lu Nanyun glanced at him and poured him a glass of juice: "Children can only drink this." The corners of his lips raised slightly.
"I'm an adult, what a kid." Ji Zeyu said unconvinced.
"You are younger than me, just a kid." Lu Nanyun finished pouring the juice and reached out to ruffle his hair, "Be good."
Although Ji Zeyu said unconvinced words, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and took a sip of the juice that Lu Nanyun poured for him.
During the dinner, Ji Zeyu received a call from his eldest brother.
Ji Zeyu looked at the prompts on the screen, felt the vibration of the phone with his fingers, and suddenly decided to do something.
He didn't want to avoid suspicion with Lu Nanyun anymore.
Ji Zeyu slowly picked up the phone, stood up and left the hotel room, took a deep breath, and then answered the phone.
