Chapter Forty-Eight: Shining Brighter Than Mushrooms
The lights in the studio were shining, and Lee Jae-min was standing behind the photographer in the front row of the audience, and the scene on the stage gradually became blurred in his eyes, and a slender figure appeared there, but it was so hazy, and gradually, the figure walked towards his position......
"It's almost time for them in Minoppa!"
Lee Jae-min was slapped on the arm, and suddenly woke up, there was no figure on the stage, Xiangyou looked at it, it turned out that it was Park Shenjing who woke him up, and Ahn Zhaoxi also followed, standing between him and Park Shenjing.
The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, and nine white figures walked in from the backstage in turn, lined up in a straight line.
Before the first lyrics are sung, the ceiling lights suddenly turn on, and nine elf-like girls jump into the camera, and the accompaniment suddenly becomes slightly dynamic here.
"I want to express it, the sad moments, although they are all gone, I can only hear them." Taeyeon sang the first lyrics, and Lee Jae-min was on her, as if she saw the vague figure just now, she was here, it was her!
"Close your eyes and feel it, my heart touched, and cast my gaze on you." Although Seo Hyun is a busy girl in her teenage years, her singing skills are second only to Taeyeon and Jessica, and she still has a very immature face with a dream for the future.
Jessica was the third to sing, and it seemed that she had lost some weight than the other day, and it was hard to think from her smile that such a thin-looking girl had seven and a half years of trainee hard work and persistence in a company with a high elimination rate like S.M, "although we are waiting for a special miracle, the road we have experienced in front of us." ”
……
“…… The sadness repeated on this shijie, now said zaijian, on many unknown paths I follow that hazy light. ”
In the chorus, the nine girls burst out with the energy they had accumulated over the years, and the audience gradually responded, with many people waving glow sticks.
"Really nice! The songs in Minoppa are also good, so it looks like it's perfect for them! Park Shin-jeong said across Ahn So-hee.
Lee Jae-min turned her head when she heard it, Ahn Zhao-hee never left the stage, looking at the stage of Girls' Generation, her face had a somewhat complicated expression, and when she heard Park Shin-jeong's words, she raised her head and just met Lee Jae-min's eyes.
A clear high voice came from the stage, and Lee Jae-min and Ahn So-hee's eyes were pulled back to the stage.
Taeyeon, a small man, bursts out of the high pitch is amazing, making people have the illusion of a blazing sun in their hearts, and it makes people crispy when they hear it.
"This moment feels like being with you, reuniting us." When composing the lyrics, the sentence that touched Lee Jae-min the most was also the zuihou sentence of this song.
"We are ...... reunited" Lee Jaemin unconsciously echoed the song in a low voice, the music gradually became smaller, and the lights dimmed again, but her figure was unusually conspicuous, as if the whole person was radiating light.
For the first time in his life, he knew that his heart could beat so fast, but what he didn't understand was whether it was because of that vague figure.
was pulled by Park Shenjing and walked all the way to the backstage, Lee Jaemin returned to normal, perhaps thinking that it would be a little embarrassing to meet like this, Ahn Zhaoxi went back to the lounge by himself, and Park Shenjing followed him at his signal.
WonderGirls debuted half a year earlier than Girls' Generation, and they are considered a very successful group with their debut, if it weren't for the accident, they should also stand on the stage like Girls' Generation, instead of being gradually forgotten by people, even with the success of the song collaboration with Lee Jae-min, Ahn So-hee still has an irrepressible loss when he sees such a scene.
In the passage of the backstage lounge, Lee Jae-min ushered in nine people who ended the stage.
All the way to the chatter, their faces are red from excitement, and Sunny and Yuna are more obvious in this regard, both of them jumping all the way.
"OPPA, how are we doing?" When Yoona saw Lee Jae-min, she left Sunny and rushed to him, grabbed him by the arm and said, "I just did what So-hee said, well, I saw a big big winter melon head in the camera on the left......"
"Sister Zhenying, hello." Lee Jae-min smiled, leaned over, and said hello to Kang Jin-young, who was walking in Zuihou.
"Hello, Jaemin. Don't get stuck here, let's go into the lounge and talk. Kang Jin-young and Lee Jae-min have met a few times and know that he is Yuna's older brother, and several other children often go to his house for dinner.
Jiang Zhenying, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, a little fat, round face often with a pair of big gold-rimmed eyes, she is a professional agent, has the experience of leading a girl group, S.M specially transferred her this time to serve as a girlhood agent.
As soon as she walked into the Girls' Generation lounge, Lee Jae-min was pressed to sit on a high stool, and several of them sat on the sofa opposite, all watching silently like elementary school students.
"Ahem!" Lee Jae-min opened his mouth and paused, then coughed, and when he saw that Qi Qi who teased them and rolled his eyes, he finally teased them once, of course he knew what these nine girls wanted to hear, so he smiled and said, "The performance is great, especially the high notes of Tae~Taeyeon, the solo dance of Hyoyeon, of course, it doesn't mean that the others don't have highlights, Sika sings very well, and his voice is very sweet......"
After commenting one by one, they breathed a sigh of relief, not that Lee Jae-min represented everyone, but that they had just made their debut performance, just like a few years of hard work, a few years of sweat fighting for this moment, they urgently need to be recognized.
“oppa!” Yuna's face turned cold, Lee Jae-min's comment actually leaked herself, could it be that she performed poorly on stage, her pursed mouth could be hung with an oil bottle, "What about me?" Am I not doing well? ”
"Oops! How can the winter melon head remember so much, were you also on stage just now? Lee Jae-min pretended to be innocent.
Yoona followed Taeyeon and the others laughed too, she thought that she should be angry, and she was busy and put on a dissatisfied expression, but when she heard Taeyeon and them laughing, she couldn't help it, "OPPA is really stingy." ”
Lee Jae-min stopped teasing Yoona and said with a smile, "I watched it carefully just now, our Yoona performed the best, the best, and she was shinier than a mushroom on the stage." ”
"Poof~" Sunny, who was drinking water, squirted all the water on the sofa after hearing this, and Taeyeon and the others also laughed softly.
"In Min Oppa, you're dead of bad heart!" Tiffany's face flushed with shame, and she hatefully threw Lee Jae-min for a moment, only to find that there was nothing in her hand.
It turned out that S.M had designed a line for Tiffany to introduce himself - "I am Tiffany who shines brighter than diamonds". In Korean, diamonds and mushrooms are pronounced similarly, and she grew up in the United States and has only been in Korea for more than three years, so she is not very proficient in the language.
Once with Yoona they were at Lee Jae-min's house, before dinner, she sat in the corner of the living room to practice this introduction, and I don't know how to say "I am Tiffany who is shinier than mushrooms", but Lee Jae-min and Yoona heard it, so they made fun of her, I don't know if it was the reason, when she talked about this introduction later, six times out of ten, she would say "I am Tiffany who is shinier than mushrooms." ”
"In Minoppa!" Taeyeon stood up with so-young's shoulders on her shoulders, walked over to Lee Jae-min, and said in an angry tone on behalf of Tiffany, "You were taken badly by Yoon-a!" ”
"Ah~ little man, what are you talking about!" Yuna yelled unhappily.
Obviously, this title will immediately cause Sunny's attack, and all will be tried!
Originally, Sunny and Yuna would have a big fight, but if these nine had a convulsion together, Lee Jae-min could only leave the stage early, after all, they were all girls, and then there was the farewell stage for him and Ahn So-hee, and there wasn't much time left in the middle.
The next day, many media reported on the success of Girls' Generation's debut, and many websites put the news on the front page, worthy of being the largest brokerage company, and responded quickly, and immediately established the official website of Girls' Generation's fan support, and the support color and support slogan were also announced one by one.
"Shijie Reunited Again" was on sale from the 2nd, and by the end of August, 20,000 copies were pre-sold, nearly 30,000 copies were sold, and a total of nearly 50,000 album sales were even more surprising.
At this time, someone posted a summary post on the Internet, with the theme of "Lee Jae-min Effect", the main content of which said that as long as there is an album composed by Lee Jae-min and used as the title song, it will be a big hit, and the content of the post is accompanied by a series of data.
Comet Shin's "First Man, New Beginning" sold 90,000 copies.
Choi Yeon's "MyLove" sold 70,000 copies.
Lee Jae-min's own two albums "White Snow" sold nearly 40,000 copies. "Smile.girl" sold 100,000 copies.
In addition, Girls' Generation's "Shijie Reunited Again" is nearly 50,000 copies sold.
Doesn't that tell the story?!
After this post came out, it was reposted by a large number of netizens, which directly led to a sudden increase of 1 to 2,000 people registered in Lee Jaemin's fan club.
Of course, such a post will quickly disappear into the ocean of the Internet, and in just a few days, this post will be thrown out of people's minds.
In August, the sales of Lee Jae-min's own single album "Smile.girl" gradually fell back to weakness, and in less than the middle of the month, they were suppressed by the news of Girls' Generation's debut.
Only his identity as a composer, because he is the songwriter of the debut song "Shijie Reunion" of Girls' Generation, the hype is even hotter.
Throughout August, the media and the internet were overshadowed by two major events.
First, Girls' Generation made a successful debut with "Shijie Reunited Again".
The second is that South Korea's KBS has invested heavily to create the wild survival program "Happy.Sunday-Two Days and One Night", referred to as "Two Days and One Night", after a lapse of 5 years, the popular MC Jiang Hudong returned to KBS as the main MC of this variety show, and the auxiliary MC has Kim C, Yin Zhiyuan, MC Meng, Lee Xiugen, Lu Hongzhe 5 people, the program played the slogan of "real experience of the wild, travel all over the beautiful places of Korea".
As soon as "Two Days and One Night" was launched, it created an 18% rating, which is close to MBC TV's "Infinite Challenge", the leader of variety shows, and the ratings have risen steadily in each issue, although the upward momentum is not large, but it gives "Two Days and One Night" the hope of catching up with "Infinite Challenge".
