Chapter Thirty-Nine: Dominance
"Come on, cheers; we wish you a perfect and successful departure."
"Cheers!"
After the popularity of the song ended, Chen Xiang came to the Chinese restaurant at home with SJ, TVXQ and Yun Er to celebrate his successful debut.
"By the way, tonight's last stage was really shocking; and it was all kinds of shocking. Up until now, SJ's members still haven't recovered from the thoroughly shocking feeling they got from seeing that stage earlier."
"I mean, what's with that equipment and that mysterious, enchanting aura? And that one-minute infinite windmill? It's truly utterly shocking!"
"In the past, when I was being beaten by Chen Shao, I thought he was using at least half of his strength; but after today's performance, I won't think that way anymore, it's really too abnormal. In Yin He's view, although he also lost frequently in the past, he could still force Chen Shao to use at least half of his strength; however, the dancing skills he saw with his own eyes today were something that even after five years of practice, he wouldn't be able to catch up with Chen Shao."
"Yes, at the beginning, there was at least a tie; but later on, it really became exhausting." Not only Xiang He had this idea, but also Yun Hao, Han Geng and Donghai Shentong all thought so.
"Don't be discouraged, I'm good at dancing, but my singing skills aren't that great, are they? At least I'm not worse than Jin Xiaoye" The words were meant to be comforting, but somehow they sounded like boasting.
"Taeyeon's singing skills are still lacking? Among our SJ members, no one is better than her, and even Donghae can't surpass her; not even Junsu can say he's better than Taeyeon. In our company's vocal ranking, first place is Kangin and Baekhyun hyung; second place is Changmin and Siwon; third place is Taeyeon and Junsu; fourth place is you and Changmin. Your dancing skills in Korea are unmatched, your vocals are top 5 in our company; what do you want me to say about you?" Only someone with an unbalanced mind like Heechul from SJ would complain like this; "Besides, your face isn't bad either, among the male artists in our company, at least top three, and first place is Siwon, I'm second, you're third." Originally wanted to say second, but thinking about it, that doesn't sound very good, anyway everyone knows already, no need to fight over this; Heechul thought. (This ranking was found online, not made by me, don't @ me)"
"Pfft, haha; Heechul oppa, why didn't you say you were second? I think you're even more handsome than Xiah" Sunny said with a big laugh, being very close to Heechul.
"We all think you're prettier than Chen Shao, I'm even jealous just looking at you" Xiu Ying muttered with her mouth full.
Others looked at Hee-chul's awkward expression and burst out laughing too;
"As a person, you can't always sail smoothly; if that's the case, then you're done for. It's good for you to experience more, Hui Che." Chen Shao said with a serious and sincere tone, his words sounding as if they were true.
"Life is not always smooth sailing, how can it be?" Not only did he think this way, but everyone present was also waiting for his answer;
"It's better to have ups and downs in life, otherwise you're just a dead person." He still had a serious look on his face, which scared everyone, but they couldn't help being curious.
"How could the ups and downs be better? I don't know. But I still choose a straight line without twists and turns in life." After saying that, he always felt a kind of bad premonition, but he couldn't say what this bad feeling was. However, Chen Shao helped him answer it;
"A person is like an electrocardiogram, if you are smooth sailing without any twists and turns; then congratulations to you, you are already a dead man." Everyone was stunned by these words.
However, Xiaoxian and Litter, who had quickly figured it out, burst into laughter with a "haha" sound; those who were slightly slower to understand also laughed loudly afterwards.
"Indeed, you're really something, using this as a metaphor; it's really too much for you; my stomach hurts so much" The first thing that came to mind was Lito, who is now laughing and lying on the ground; Only Kim Hichan is still there thinking about what it means.
In the end, Han Geng, who was in the same dormitory, couldn't help but tell him; Xi Cheng also looked at Chen Shuo with a crying and laughing expression after hearing the answer; this face is so lost, there's no way to say it.
It took several hours for a meal; it was already 11 o'clock in the evening when I returned home; Xiaoxian and Yuner also followed back to the villa.
"Oppa, I'm going to wash up and rest now, the time for skin regeneration is almost over; goodnight." After saying goodnight, she ran upstairs.
"This girl is always like this" Chen Shao silently watched as Xiao Xian's figure disappeared, then turned around and walked towards Yun'er, embracing her "I succeeded in my debut today, you won't blame me for being biased, will you?"
"Why blame you?"
"Didn't I write a song for Xiaoxian and even sang it together with her? I didn't even write one for you, are you blaming me?"
"No, this is all as it should be. Xiaoxian has been waiting for you for so long; that song just happens to be a true portrayal of the two of you, how can I blame you?"
"I know exactly what's on your mind; however, after you debut, I'll write a script for you; aren't you fond of acting? I've just started writing recently, and by the time you debut, it should be finished"
"Really? You said so yourself, don't lie to me?"
"Hmm! I'm not kidding you, at that time I won't just write a script for you, I'll also write songs for you; I'm not a biased person; I'll balance both sides"
"Then I'll go take a bath and rest; goodnight, Xiao Xiao." She kissed Chen Shao's face and turned to run upstairs.
Stroking his own face, Chen Shao revealed a lewd smile;
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
For the next two months, the music scene was completely taken over by Chen Shao; even more exaggerated than Lee Hyori's storm.
The popular song won three consecutive championships with ease; then, it went on to win the Music Bank championship, one after another, two in a row, three in a row... all the way to eight consecutive championships without stopping; if Chen Shuo hadn't stopped singing himself, he might have created the miracle of ten consecutive championships; plus, there aren't many big-name seniors releasing songs now, so Chen Shuo is dominating the song world alone.
This is not the end, Baby this song directly topped the US "Billboard Single Chart" first place; This news exploded all over South Korea, and even in mainland China, it was a big cheer.
It's not over yet, not only occupying the first place on the US Billboard chart, but also firmly holding the top spot on single charts in Canada and the UK; currently, no song can shake it off; you can imagine how strong this is; while Baby's MV on YouTube has reached a staggering 200 million clicks in just two months.
This single created history, creating the first single album in Korean history to sell over 800,000 copies; this is more than double the sales of a regular album; This is only in Korea, and in Europe and America, sales reached over 350,000. After all, it's not their people, even if the song is very popular, there won't be many who buy it, and those who can buy are all female fans. In Japan, Asia, there were over 250,000, and in China, there were over 350,000, because Chen Shuo is Chinese, so there are still many supporters; Other regions add up to over 250,000; So this mini-album has a global sales volume of over 2 million; To know that this is just a mini-album, this sales volume is enough to squeeze into the global sales rankings.
Chen Shuo's fan club also skyrocketed to over a million fans at this moment, creating even more records. This is truly the strongest newcomer in Korean history; announcing that they were already dating before their debut; and after debuting, passionately kissing his girlfriend in front of people all around the world. There is only one person like this, unparalleled in the past or future.
In the eyes of major entertainment agencies in Korea, there is something even more dazzling; when S*M releases album sales statistics, that number has already blinded many people's eyes, and now every economic company is shouting "wolf came".
"G-Dragon, how's your recent work going? Do you have any songs that can be released? S.M's 'rebirth' has completely dominated the record sales in Korea for this period of time; beating regular albums with a mini-album, this is unprecedented in Korea; can you handle this opponent?" YG's CEO Yang Hyun-suk sighed to G-Dragon in his office.
G-Dragon debuted in August 2006, and his debut was considered very successful; but at that time, he encountered Lee Hyori's comeback; so it seemed like a failure to others; however, this wasn't the case, instead it highlighted the strength of his group BIGBANG.
"Director, I've recently created a song, but it's not perfect yet. I think I'll wait until it's perfected before recording it. Besides, the music scene is currently dominated by Rebirth, we don't need to force our way in now. We can wait for him to slow down and then make our move. I believe my current song can establish a solid foundation for Big Bang in the music scene." G-Dragon still has confidence in his creative abilities, and after seeing Chen Shuo's appearance and creation of so many classic songs, he views Chen Shuo as a rival in his heart, a worthy opponent to chase after.
"Uh-huh, then you'd better think more about this aspect recently. If there's anything you don't understand, go discuss with Teddy; In this regard, the two people have different ideas, so they can't communicate;"
"Uh-huh, I see."
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"You detestable Lee Si, you won't be gloating for long; just wait and see; next is the time when I, Li Xiu Man, will make my move in this girl group" Li Xiu Man's arch-nemesis Park Jin Young said with hatred "Someone, pass down the order, speed up the production of Wirls' album immediately"
Wait and see, I'm going to create an era for girl groups, let the solo market be yours; Li Si's eyes are on who can laugh until the end.
。。。。。。。。。
"Nowadays, the music industry is completely dominated by that kid Chen Shuo, and our other management companies are starting to get restless too? But it doesn't matter, you guys can play like that, but I, Li Xiu Man, don't care. Solo, you guys don't have a chance; male artists have Chen Shuo, female artists have Bao Er; boy groups, I also have Dong Fang Shen Qi and SJ; girl groups, I'm also preparing to join in on the fun with you, and will officially retire in the second half of the year. With this lineup, what can you guys use to compete with me? Yang Ya Zi, Park Hee Soo, I'm waiting for your move, bring it on!" Li Xiu Man thought to himself in his office, indulging in these absurd thoughts.
Since the recording of the song ended, Chen Shao finally indulged himself; it's strange if he didn't feel tired after more than two months of recording.
This is not the case, as Chen Da Shao is now sleeping soundly in his own room; he doesn't care about anything even if the sky falls; however, there are people who don't want him to continue like this.
"Kid, still sleeping, hurry up and get up; we're going to attend a fan meeting; you've been sleeping for several days, you're almost becoming a pig!" Chen Ning was still the same as always, coming in and pulling Chen Shao up, regardless of whether he was dressed or not.
"Sister, let go of me, I'll get up myself; don't be so rough, who will want you in the future?" Having been woken up from a beautiful dream, anyone would disagree with this; but it's his own sister, what can Chen Shao say? Just bear with it.
"Mind your own business, just get up now; otherwise, fans have been waiting for a long time and it's not good."
