Three hundred and fifty-two, to save respect
About Pillow Creek's debut as the last member of Shambala. The attitudes of Chinese and Korean netizens are completely different.
Pillow Creek was once glorious.
In the minds of Chinese netizens, she left in a way that no one thought of when she was at her peak. So she didn't go downhill, and everyone's memory of her is still in her most glorious time.
But Korean netizens don't know about this. They also saw that the name Pillow Creek was trending in the world, so they had the idea to search for it on the Internet. Then, as if suddenly, the collective memory was restored, remembering the heroine of the leather bag advertisement co-produced with Ian for a while.
How strange. When she first filmed this commercial, she was so popular that Ian was able to cooperate with her in her first commercial, which really made fans of other EJ families envious. Now, five or six years later, Ian and RISUN have become EJ's two ace fortune trees. And this center light, who played a more or less role on their popular road, became two junior sisters in a blink of an eye.
Sure enough, playing, or Zhao Rong really knows how to play.
Or CL will play.
While Korean netizens are paying attention to what impact Shambala's debut can have on the Korean female idol pattern that has now taken shape, Chinese netizens are focusing more on the fan base of Pillow Creek.
It's been a day since the trailer was released, and Pillow Creek's personal trailer has occupied the top of the list of Chinese and Korean video websites with an absolutely scary advantage. On the Internet, netizens who had supported Pillow Creek before, or who really liked Pillow Creek, came out to speak. On behalf of myself, I expressed my support for the restart of Pillow Creek.
However, the most well-known millions of fan groups in Pillow Creek, the social sister who frightened other fans because of the large number of people and the wealth of the family, still did not move.
Even the people in the circle who have worked with Pillow Creek, and several of her former teammates, have forwarded the teaser video to express their support for Pillow Creek.
And all the fan groups that announced the temporary closure of the station on the day of Pillow Creek's withdrawal have not moved so far.
The day after the announcement of the Pillow Creek teaser, tickets for Shambala's debut show began to go on sale.
The 3,000-person field is really large for South Korea, which produces dozens of girl groups every year.
But compared to the predecessors, compared to the grand occasion of EJ's debut of 10,000 people, this scale is a bit shabby.
At least in the eyes of Chinese netizens.
"I don't compare the scale of Dream girls' showcases that debuted that year. Let's just say that there were no such few people at the competition site where Pillow Creek won the championship that year. ”
"3,000 people, and only one in South Korea? Does CL think that South Korea is small and thin, or does it feel that the general trend of Pillow Creek has gone?"
"I understand. South Korea has a population of 50 million and Seoul has a population of 10 million. Zhao Rongzhen probably didn't inquire about how many votes Pillow Creek used to win the championship that year. ”
"People may be overthinking. The pre-sale has begun, but the fan group of Pillow Creek still has not moved, and it seems that it is not going to travel thousands of miles to South Korea to support and cheer. If they don't act, they will be able to support a field of 3,000 people with the hillbilly's current live fans. ”
"I think so too. More than four years have passed, and the stationmaster probably doesn't know where to climb the wall. I was afraid that coming out to respond now would make both sides look bad, so I simply chose to deal with it silently. ”
"So why should Pillow Creek start over? Isn't it good to leave dreams and light in the best of times. ”
"I feel like I'm going to witness history. The national center Pillow Creek, which once reached the top with 17 million high votes, is now unpopular when it debuts again. In the end, is this the dying struggle of yesterday's yellow flower, or the coldness of human nature under the changes of the times. ”
"Pillow Creek has long been out of the sky. You see that her re-debut this time made such a big move, and she didn't react to her fans and black fans. ”
"Where did she get her opponent fans now? Back then, Sister Poison's family pressed the heads of the other 12 fans to the ground and rubbed them. Now, who can she compare with Pillow Creek herself? Is she not even better than Zhao Qinglan, who is full of black spots. ”
These remarks were translated and spread to the eyes of Korean netizens. As a result, Chinese and Korean netizens reached a high degree of consensus in this regard, believing that Shambala's most glorious time was when he did not debut, as long as he debuted, he would be out of the sky.
Not to mention competing with tire factories for the world, it may be a historic record at the end of the year, losing the best newcomer who has never missed out since the establishment of CL.
As a result, Chinese and Korean netizens, including most Asian netizens, are looking forward to Shambala's debut and showcase with an absolute, joke-watching attitude.
With a week to go before the June 9 show and Shambala's debut, their 3,000 tickets were finally sold out in a hurry.
There are so-called insiders who claim that CL sold tickets to scalpers at a low price, and then the scalpers sold them to fans at a price much lower than the market price. Or simply, CL digested the tickets themselves and gave them away.
As for the rationale for doing so.
Of course, it's for Shambala and CL to save their own dignity.
Otherwise, CL's four-year-old portfolio won't make a splash, and tomorrow's stock may have to fall to the limit.
Saturday, June 7, 2 days before the showcase.
Shambala's debut song "New World" and music video were revealed, as well as all 10 songs of her debut album were revealed.
South Korea has a professional audio statistics website, and there is more than one.
Usually, people will judge the number of fans or the national popularity of a song by using the airborne ranking and the number of listeners in the first hour when a song is announced.
"New World" was airborne at No. 21 on the most well-known music source website, and the remaining 9 songs were evenly distributed behind the top 50, and finally, the entire album was airborne in the top 100 of the music chart.
It is the best result of the debut album of a girl group in recent years.
CL Company immediately contacted the media and sent a big-character poster, blowing about the best debut results in recent years for a long time.
Then, the number of listeners for the first hour is announced.
More than 40,000, less than 50,000.
It's the best debut song result in recent years.
Can blow.
Another big-character poster was sent.
Netizens who read the big-character poster began to ask:
"Does this indirectly illustrate the popularity of Shambhala's group among passers-by? ”
"If this combination doesn't have Pillow Creek, this result can really be blown. So, Pillow Creek's fans didn't contribute at all, didn't it mean that there were more fans than the overall number of South Koreans before?"
"Blow it! China doesn't have walls that are difficult to paint. Just look at today's album sales, whether it is true red or fake red, you can know it by looking at the amount of money spent. ”
"But the number of hits on a certain tube of the debut MV is really scary. ”
With 5 million hits in 3 hours, even if it is thrown into the current second-tier singer group, it is absolutely worth it.
And, given that China has a wall, these clicks automatically remove the contribution of Pillow Creek fans.
So—
"Do hillbillies have so many live fans or passers-by? ”
"I'm right at home, to tell you the truth, this MV is really good-looking. Seven people and seven colors, the white of the minor and the red of the pillow creek are too eye-catching. ”
"The MV is exquisite, the music is good, the expressiveness of a few girls is okay, and it is normal to reach this amount of playback. ”
"Pillow Creek and Minor can rely on the preview circle fans, and I am also convinced. Whichever of these two is thrown into the active team, it is also the existence of TOP or ACE. Throwing two tops into the combination of 7 people, you don't have to worry about CL anymore, this is obviously a big deal. ”
June 8, which was open for 24 hours, summed up the results of Shambala's day.
The sound source is stable, not falling or rising, and it is generally similar to the CL big-character poster, and the best result of the debut group in recent years.
The number of hits of a certain tube's debut MV exceeded 10 million in 24 hours, surpassing the current results of all quasi-first-line and some first-line women's groups.
And then there's the sales.
The statistics of sales volume are simply a resounding slap in the face of CL.
In the full 24 hours, Shambala's debut album sold just over 1,000 in real time.
This is the sales result of ordinary girl groups on the same day, and Korean netizens are accustomed to it.
However, when this result was transmitted back to China, Chinese netizens were shocked.
1,000 albums, 100 pieces, a total of about 100,000 yuan.
"The fans of Pillow Creek really ran away, back then, they engaged in support and raised funds casually, and the money collected in an hour at a station was more than that. ”
"I will never forget that when Pillow Creek endorsed a computer brand, they gave her a turnover of 60 million yuan in one day. Therefore, in her heyday, she could hold dozens of endorsements and be proud of the entire entertainment industry. ”
"Not to mention, when Pillow Creek took the cover of a fashion magazine, 50,000 magazines were sold out in more than ten seconds. ”
"This is not kind, I will give an intuitive data, the last album before Pillow Creek retired from the circle, the price of 128 yuan a piece, just one of her local support clubs, bought more than 30,000 copies. At the end of the year, the album had 1.5 million sales, and Pillow Creek fans probably contributed 80%. ”
"So I said, Pillow Creek is already yesterday's yellow flower. The entertainment industry is so cruel, in 4 years, even the Olympic champions have been replaced, why does she think she can still stand on the top of the mountain. ”
"I'm still standing on the top of a mountain, I'm afraid I'm going to live as a cave man on the top of the mountain. ”
Seeing a yesterday's king come to this point, I was a little happy while feeling sorry. It's not possible to start all over again at any time, there is only one time in life, and I regret that I didn't have to sell the medicine, Pillow Creek. ”
The results of the whole day on June 8th, except for the album sales accident, were slightly improved from the 7th.
Everyone is speculating about how many live people will be present at tomorrow's 3,000-person showcase.
Finally, June 9 arrived as scheduled.
The day of Shamble's official debut is also the day the showcase is held.
Torrential rain began in Seoul in the early hours of the morning, and there was no sign of abating.
When I went out in the morning, part of the street was flooded with rain.
Some bus lines were suspended, and there were few cars on the road.
Pillow Creek began to worry.
Even those who did buy tickets may choose not to be there because of the torrential rain and inconvenient transportation.
The debut that was not favored by people in the first place, and because of this joke of God, it was plainly embarrassing and weird.
