Chapter 206 Winner!

"Hi, Taylor, Bruno Mars!"

Coming to the backstage of the stage, Gong Cheng greeted Taylor, Bruno Mars and the others. Logically, some of these people had already finished their performances during the six-day Coachella Music Festival, but they had not left yet and were staying here.

"After today's performance, let's have another drink together?"

Gong Cheng nodded and agreed readily. He couldn't help but smile when he heard Taylor say, "We're all here for you." He'd gotten to know Taylor, Mars, and the others quite well during his time in Los Angeles.

Occasionally, they'd go out for a drink or two in Los Angeles, chatting about gossip and music. Taylor's desire to collaborate with him was obvious, but Gong Cheng wasn't in a rush to agree; instead, he was still considering it.

It's common to play a feat song, but Gong Cheng mainly wants to wait for Bombardment Meteor's comeback to be over and take a two-day break before doing anything else.

After a brief chat, Gong Cheng came to the lounge, took off his baseball cap, sat on the sofa, and started chatting with the members, but looking at their expressions, they all seemed very nervous.

But it doesn’t matter. Their stage is the last show of the day, which is about to go down in the evening. It can’t be considered the finale, but once their performance is over, this year’s Coachella Music Festival will be completely over.

Therefore, there is still a long time for the members to adjust their emotions...

……

As the first guest performer of the day took the stage to kick off the final day of Coachella, the number of viewers in the global live broadcast room soared. The organizer looked at the data in the live broadcast room and couldn't help but slap his thigh.

During the 6-day music festival, except for the number of views that soared to 6 million at the end of the first day, the popularity quickly dropped to around 3 million in the following days. However, the live broadcast room of the next few days reached 3 million views as soon as it started. The organizers knew very well who they came for.

When the performance started, Taylor and others no longer stayed backstage. They came to a more remote place on the scene, raised their beers, and partied to the music.

In the shot that the director cut across on the big screen, Taylor stared in surprise at the few European faces that had just flashed by in the crowd. Although the shot was only cut for one or two seconds, she was convinced that she would not make a mistake.

The president of LV and a bunch of executives from the brand! Maybe there were even people from other brands?
For a moment, Taylor took a sip of the drink in her glass. She estimated that the rumor in the circle that LV and Burberry were pursuing Tarot would soon have a result, otherwise the LV CEO would not come to watch Tarot's performance in person.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile helplessly. Her own agency team has also been in contact with LV brand about endorsement this year, but there is no result yet. Relatively speaking, endorsing a brand is usually a long process, and it is impossible to get it without a probation period of one or two years.

What she is currently negotiating with LV is to become a short-term series spokesperson, such as the autumn and winter models, but there will not be any specific title.

As for why the president of LV and a group of executives came to Coachella, Taylor estimated that this title might shock a lot of people around the world.

……

Meanwhile, in Seoul.

After JYP, SM and other four companies just released the announcement of Bombardment Meteor's final series of 3 albums "3#Crown", Park Jin-young sat in the office and stared at the live broadcast screen on the computer with excitement.

The president of LV and a group of Burberry executives appeared at Coachella. As the president of a company, Park Jin-young naturally knew what this meant.

Two days ago, he spoke with the kid who was far away in Los Angeles on the phone. In fact, they both knew that after the first day of Coachella's stage performance, the original "bet" with the two major brands had already come to an end.

Regardless of whether Bombardment Meteor's comeback is successful or not, it is certain that Gong Cheng will once again be the spokesperson for two high-end luxury brands. In addition, a number of brands such as Gucci, Dior, Versace, etc. seem to have made up their minds and started to contact Gong Cheng frequently.

The so-called popularity and influence are both exaggerated and illusory, so the most intuitive way to reflect them is data.

The data from the first day of Coachella's live broadcast and the global craze caused by the name "Tarot" the next day were like a perfect answer sheet. Coupled with the news of Gong Cheng's World Tour, global expectations for this are getting higher and higher.

For singers, world tours are not only a way to make money, but also a way to increase their influence, so much so that Gong Cheng's popularity and influence around the world are still rising rapidly.

"Ahh! When is the Tarot show going to start? I need to finish watching it quickly because I have to go back to school!"

"I want to see how powerful the artillery group's series 3 blowing can be!"

"..."

Park Jin-young automatically ignored the tens of thousands of comments. He called his subordinates in and gave them an order: "Have all the employees, artists, and trainees in all departments get ready. Wait for Tarot to come back and move into the building by the end of the year at the latest."

After his subordinates left, he stood up and looked around at the scenery outside the French windows, feeling quite reluctant to leave. However, the move to the new building had been included in the company's plan two years ago.

The huge success of Twice's "CHEER UP" last year brought forward the company's plan to move to a new building. In his opinion, if Twice can maintain this momentum and reach the top, the company will be able to move into the new building in 2018 at the latest in two years.

But unexpectedly, after "CHEER UP" became a big hit, Gong Cheng, who joined the company, earned a building for the company in just one year. This also derailed his original plan, so that he has been busy with the new building this year.

After all, moving buildings is no small matter. The old building needs to be sold, and the new building needs to be renovated. However, this year, Gong Cheng's solo development and the development of his first regular album have caused this plan to deviate from its course again!

Park Jin-young thought of the new building he was about to move into, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless with joy. The design and decoration of the new building had already started, but to be honest, the scale of the new building was indeed a bit... compared to the buildings SM had moved to in the past two years...

So after Gong Cheng's solo album was a huge hit this year, he started planning to move to a new building. The new building he is about to move to is off the track of his expected development and can only serve as a transition.

Park Jin-young sat at his desk in melancholy, zoomed out of the Coachella live broadcast, opened the document containing his autobiography, and typed out a paragraph.

"The chapter of the summer of 2017 is coming to an end - the children have earned a beautiful building for the company with their blood, sweat, and tears. It is not grand or luxurious, but it is built with the hard work and sweat of everyone in JYP."

"Tarot, Twice, Got7, 2pm, Miss A, Bombardment Meteor... In addition to the new building we're about to move into, the design drawings of our future building are already on my desk."

"That future building will be more impressive, luxurious, and grand than any other agency building in Seoul, but its completion date may be three to five years from now. By then, both the agency and the children will have to face the question of contract renewal or whether to stay or leave."

"Especially that kid who shines brighter than a superstar. His arrival has opened up a new era for JYP. If you know Tarot, you'll think I'm not exaggerating at all."

"No matter what the future holds, I hope that when the building is completed, the children will be able to stand proudly in front of it and gaze upon the fruits of their hard work over the years."

……

The sky gradually darkens in the Coachella Valley, and the roaring cheers of the crowds in the venue echo one after another. As the world's largest music festival, people who come here indulge in the music.

In the backstage lounge behind the stage, the Bombardment Meteor group began their pre-performance preparations.

Gong Cheng changed into the high-end suit sent by Armani in the dressing room and felt the sweltering heat. "Oh my god, it's really hot."

He tugged at the collar of his black shirt and unbuttoned a few buttons. If it weren't for the stage performance, he wouldn't have wanted to wear a black suit in such hot weather, but the suit was rock and roll, and it wasn't bad either.

The crisp suit jacket was unbuttoned and hung open on both sides of his tall figure. His broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs with impeccable proportions were made to look straight by his black trousers.

"Ani, don't wear a bow tie. It's very uncomfortable." Gong Cheng smiled bitterly and stopped the stylist from trying to tie his bow tie. "It's too hot. The suit is stuffy enough. I'm sweating all over in just a short while."

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the other members who came out of the dressing room one after another. Their styles and clothes were not uniform. Since he was responsible for most of the parts of the songs in this third album of the series, all of them changed into neat suits.

Like Park Jae-bum's style, he just wore a pair of jeans, with nothing on his upper body, revealing his tattoos, and wearing a chain that sparkled with diamonds... The other members were dressed in a more rock-and-roll style.

Jin Dae-woo, holding a handheld camera and recording these young people, said with a smile, "What do you want to say?"

The members of Bombardment Meteor gathered together, forming a circle. Seven strong fists bumped together in front of the camera, "Winner!"

Those simple words made the entourage from Seoul present tremble with fear! They had no idea how much abuse and slander these seven young people had endured to get to this point!

"winning!"

In the camera, this is the shouting of Kim Dae-woo, other agents and staff.

"Yes, you win!" Gong Cheng turned around and chuckled at the staff, then turned up the collar of his wrinkled shirt and said, "Brother Dayu, after tonight's performance, how about we go have a drink together?"

"We have booked a private room, it's big enough for everyone to come." Park Chanyeol's playful voice came into the camera and he added, inviting the many staff members who had accompanied him along the way.

Then, seven tall figures disappeared from the camera one after another and came to the waiting passage. Outside the dimly lit ceiling of the passage, night fell over the Coachella Valley.

Taylor, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber and others greeted Gong Cheng and his group. In their sight, there were also many current international first-line groups preparing to watch their performance.

The camera in the Coachella live broadcast room cut to the backs of several people walking up to the stage.

Immediately afterwards, the previous guest who had performed on the Bombardment Meteor stage walked into the waiting corridor, and dozens of spotlights at Coachella lit up, shining on the venue where more than 100,000 spectators were gathered.

The Ferris wheel, which is considered the iconic building of Coachella, began to flash neon lights, making the night even more dazzling and eye-catching.

The eyes of hundreds of thousands of viewers were fixed on the huge screen. Seven figures were about to appear, all with black hair and yellow skin. Their positions were very elegant, divided into two rows. Jackson Wang, Park Jae-Bum and Zhang Yixing stood in the front, while Gong Cheng, Wu Sehun, Park Chanyeol and Lim Young-woong, four of whom were over 180 cm tall, stood in the second row.

The face of Gong Cheng projected on the big screen had a calm smile on it, while the remaining six faces had sharp expressions.

In the sight, the image of seven people appearing on the giant screen was cut off. There was a sharp sound of electricity, and sparks of electricity splashed out on the black screen, outlining the independent and unique logo of Bombardment Meteor!

The electronic, mechanically synthesized voice echoed in the ears of hundreds of thousands of people: "Bombardment Meteor!!!"

The emotionless mechanical sound dissipated, and all the lights in the Coachella venue were turned off by the staff in an instant. The sound of "bang bang bang~" as the headlights were removed plunged the venue into a brief darkness.

The number of viewers in Coachella's live broadcast room soared, and many executives from high-end luxury brands who were watching the performance on site couldn't help but lock their eyes.

The Bombardment Meteor logo floated on the screen, and the album title "3#Crown" flashed by. To everyone's surprise, the face of their manager was projected on the gradually brightening screen.

Jin Dae-woo, who was standing under the stage, couldn't help but feel excited when he saw his face appear in front of the world. As for the content of the pictures played on the giant screen, he was not clear about it because the business handed over to the organizer was not within his management scope.

But his constricted pupils still recognized the scene in the picture. It was the scene of Bombardment Meteor landing in Seoul after attending the Billboard Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas.

"I think you lack respect for Bombardment Meteor!" On the giant screen, Kim Dae-woo held up the Best Social Artist award they won at the Billboard Awards Ceremony, and spoke angrily in front of the swarm of Seoul media and anti-fans.

Seven tired-looking figures struggled to walk into the nanny car amid the crowd's pushing and scolding. The thorny vines special effects that followed on the screen grew densely and wantonly, covering the black and white faces of the seven people in the picture like photo stickers.

The scene shifted to show the seven members of Bombardment Meteor standing in a cigarette-filled box, sipping drinks. Gong Cheng lay on the sofa, drunken eyes hazy, holding a glass of wine, pointing at the camera and chuckling:

"I saw them celebrating our loss, like we'll never win again...Miah Neah, but we never lose..."

The sound of shrill laughter and the clinking of wine glasses echoed on the screen, and the title of the song "Whatever It Takes" emerged from the thorny and bleeding thorns. The camera projected the seven figures that had already taken their positions on the stage onto the big screen.

Seven people stood in a corner of the stage, surrounded by various musical instruments. Gong Cheng stood in front of a straight microphone stand, unbuttoned his collar, and looked at the hundreds of thousands of people in the audience. He smiled calmly and said, "Rockstar?"

"Let's go! No. 1 "Whatever It Takes"!"

"at all costs!"

As his words spread throughout the world, the passionate prelude instantly sounded at the Coachella scene, and hundreds of thousands of spectators cheered in an instant. Taylor and Mars looked at each other in surprise, rockstar?

Rock song?

The quality of many songs can be judged just by listening to the prelude, and the strong drum beats and passionate guitar melodies are intertwined and integrated more densely, as if the boy on the stage is responding to their doubts.

Wearing a straight and slim black suit, Gong Cheng's black hair fluttered in the Coachella night breeze. With a faded smile and the accompaniment about to explode, he looked like a thug in a suit ready to draw his gun at any time.

"..." In the live broadcast room, many audiences in Seoul watched the seven voices on the stage with fear and trepidation. Most of them were fans of the "Broken Wings Plan". At the same time, many groups and brokerage companies in Peninsula were paying attention to this extremely grand performance that was hyped.

In the live broadcast room, the camera shot to the audience showed that all the famous stars in the audience were watching the performance, including Hollywood stars, international singing stars, high-end brand spokespersons, media, reporters,

And some Asian artists and film and television actors with Asian faces...

"I didn't have time to prepare, but I fell into it~"

"Trapped in this dangerous world~"

The fast and trembling drum beats of the arrangement are like the shaking hearts of hundreds of thousands of audiences on the scene, and Gong Cheng's singing seems to step on everyone's hearts, bringing emotions into everyone's body and mind.

"The people around us are like vultures watching us eagerly."

"Everyone is looking forward to our destruction~"

"Everyone hopes they are the only hero~"

A spotlight as bright as daylight shone on Gong Cheng's upright figure. The big screen projected that he had his eyes closed and his singing voice was slightly hoarse, while the melody of the main song wandered in a relatively low range, intertwining with his singing, conveying a sense of confusion and struggle.

Then, the previously extinguished headlights in the venue with more than 100,000 spectators suddenly slid down, illuminating the Coachella Valley.

Entering the chorus, the tempo suddenly quickened, and the strong guitar and drum beats were like a surging wave, pushing hundreds of thousands of audiences to stand on tiptoe and open their arms desperately.

“Whip~Whip~”

"Like a racehorse, I march forward courageously~"

"Break me down~ and then build me up again~"

"..."

"Isn't this a huge gap? He debuted as a rapper, right?" Taylor was very suspicious whether the "Tarot" he had previously learned about on the online encyclopedia was the same person as the boy on the stage?

From rapper to pop star, he has released a lot of songs in just one year since his debut, including R&B and other genres. But isn’t this electronic rock song a bit far away from his previous style?

Mars nodded silently without saying anything. The seven members of Bombardment Meteor on the stage had different divisions of labor. Most of the lead vocals were taken up by Tarot, while the remaining six served as harmonies in the necessary parts of the song, and fiddled with guitars and bass on the stage.

It's like transforming an Asian pop group into a rock band, and the necessary harmonies of some members inject more passion and appeal into this magnificent song.

All in all, the seven-member stage had a clear division of labor and did not suffer from the biggest problem of having too many members in a band, which is too many vocals and sounds disorganized.

"No matter the cost~"

"Because I love the adrenaline rushing through my blood~"

"I will do my best, regardless of the cost~"

"Take me to the top, I'm ready~"

In the live broadcast room with 6 million viewers, many of the Korean comments that used to float on the screen disappeared, and English and Chinese comments occupied the vast majority. In the Cube trainee dormitory in Seoul.

Tian Xiaojuan watched the Coachella live broadcast with a complicated expression. She didn't know what the style and quality of the remaining two songs of the senior on the stage were, but as for the one being sung now.

It was definitely another kick that led Bombardment Meteor into the door of Europe and the United States. Thinking carefully about it, Bombardment Meteor has experienced since the seven members gathered together and the four companies' almost indifferent treatment.

She finally came to her senses and realized that in addition to reaching the summit, they were also heading out to explore the beauty of the country.

In the picture, the restless crowd and the seven figures on the stage are full of vigor and enthusiasm, leading hundreds of thousands of spectators to wave their hands under the night sky of Coachella Valley. There is no such depressing and dead silence as shown on the big screen before the stage performance.

In addition to Gong Cheng's singing that penetrated the entire world, countless shouts and screams were almost overflowing the screen.

"I think you guys lack respect for Bombardment Meteor!"

Now, Tian Xiaojuan had a vague feeling that after these brothers' performances, the entire peninsula's K-pop scene would face its largest-ever reckoning! Perhaps Arcana, Stargazer, and the seven brothers' respective diehard fans had already begun the action.

"Like epoxy resin, we piece together and recreate the world and landscape we've lost~"

"I am the ellipsis, a symbol that exists to remind you to broaden your horizons and see further."

"..."

Gong Cheng's singing voice gradually became softer in the restless crowd, and the ups and downs of the melody were like the footsteps of someone stumbling forward in adversity.

Under his black hair blown by the wind, his cheeks were covered by a blue light curtain, and he had a faint smile on his face. His tall figure was wrapped in a crisp suit, and his body nimbly twisted gently to his own singing.

"Leaving the body that the soul is attached to, I will become another me~"

The night wind blew his suit jacket around his waist, and Gong Cheng hummed the ending of the lyrics with warm eyes: "No matter the cost~ I will go all out~"

Behind him, the other members of Bombardment Meteor followed the gradually changing accompaniment and sang in unison, pushing the scene to a climax again.

"No matter the cost!!!"

“Because I love the adrenaline rushing through my blood!!!”

The roaring screams and choruses of hundreds of thousands of people, wave after wave, were deafening. The Coachella Valley resounded with cheers, the throbbing crowd, the sloping drinks, and the name Bombardment Meteor was firmly imprinted on the night sky.

"No matter the cost~ I will do my best~"

Gong Cheng's voice accompanied by the night breeze sang the last line of "Whatever It Takes".

After the song's accompaniment faded away, shouts of "Bombardment Meteor!!!" surged throughout the Coachella Valley, with everyone tiptoeing up and down, beating on the hearts of the audience in the live broadcast room like marching steps and heavy drums.

"happy?"

The seven members of Bombardment Meteor stood in the center of the stage, loudly asking the hundreds of thousands of audience members present, and in response, black flags erected under the daylight lights fluttered in the night wind.

The director cut the camera to the audience. Amidst the dense crowd, on each black flag, the name Bombardment Meteor was outlined by seven shooting stars of different colors.

On the back of the flag, the pattern of a pirate hat is rendered like a totem waving in the wind, and the blank space of the pirate hat is filled with fantasy old-fashioned revolvers and swords, interwoven into a unique badge symbol.

Black "pirate flags" were carried by the night wind across the Coachella scene, and under the white lights, they looked mighty...

"Nice!" Park Jae-bum couldn't help but laugh when he saw the pirate flag in the audience. Wang Jiaer pointed to the night sky and said, "Many people know that the 'Bombing Meteor' is composed of 7 meteors."

"So look up and see the shooting stars tonight."

Hundreds of thousands of people were staring at the starry night sky, but the question was, where were the shooting stars?

Then, a series of fireworks roared across the sky, exploding in the night sky that everyone had been waiting for. The brilliant sparks, condensed in the starry sky, bloomed and disappeared like brilliant shooting stars, leaving behind a stream of colorful light that illuminated the entire Coachella Valley.

The cheeks of hundreds of thousands of spectators were brightened by the white fireworks, and the crowd standing in punishment suddenly burst into thunderous cheers under the night sky intertwined with fireworks.

The dazzling fireworks in the night sky appeared before the eyes of countless people around the world, and Gong Cheng's smiling voice rang out.

"This is Bombardment Meteor's gift to the world!"

"Freedom, alcohol, music, and revelry at Coachella! To the sounds of Bombardment Meteor!"

"Maybe there's a language barrier between us, but there's no such thing as love and music. Next song is 'Natural'!"

Gong Cheng stood under the sky full of fireworks. When his tall figure finished speaking, the prelude of "Natural" rang out in the venue, interweaving with the fireworks that were still roaring in the night sky.

He took a sip of water and then took off his black suit jacket. On the big screen behind the seven people, a black and gold crown pattern first appeared. With the interweaving of colorful lines, it formed an album cover that was printed in the eyes of the world.

In the black shadow of the blank space, real-time data such as the number of listeners and album sales of the third album of the Bombardment Meteor series "3#Crown" after its release today gradually scrolled out.

The disc album with the black and gold crown cover slowly spun in the sight of more than 100,000 people at the scene, and the song title and lyrics of "Natural" popped up.

"Will you stick to the bottom line~"

"..."

"Will the stars align?"

"Does Heaven Exist?"

The eloquent lyrics, paired with the non-drum melody of the prelude, further highlighted Gong Cheng's raspy vocals. The stage's special effects system activated, and dry ice gushed out from the edge of the stage, instantly shrouding it in a white mist.

"Let go of the heartache~throw it away completely!"

"I'd rather be a hunter than a prey~"

In the surging dry ice fog, Park Jae-bum's penetrating voice pierced through the fog layer, fans dispersed the fog, and colorful laser beams intertwined and hit the seven figures of Bombardment Meteor.

"You're standing on the edge, looking up, thinking you!"

"Born this way!"

Gong Cheng shuttled between the colorful laser lights, his slender figure with his back to the hundreds of thousands of spectators. His hoarse, roaring voice carried the momentum of a rocket taking off, followed by the instantaneous interweaving of the low bass and the intense drum beats.

Bring the chorus of the song to a climax!

"The beating heart of rock!"

"You have to be ruthless!"

"You were born this way!"

After hearing Gong Cheng's powerful and infectious singing voice, the atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited to a boiling point. On the big screen, the album's fiery red data kept jumping and climbing, refreshing one by one.

Taylor, Mars and others stood up instantly, staring at the unruly figure on the stage in disbelief. Gong Cheng held the microphone with both hands, tilted his head slightly, and roared the climax of the chorus.

The coordination of the drum instruments of Wu Sehun and others, coupled with Gong Cheng's penetrating voice, made the song more powerful. What surprised Taylor and the others the most was Gong Cheng's control over his roaring voice and the sense of immersion in the brainwashing melody.

"A ruthless life!"

"You have to be ruthless!"

With surging explosive power, Gong Cheng's singing is like a volcano erupting from the depths of his soul. The hot magma, wrapped in the passion of rock, sweeps across every corner of the scene.

The feet of hundreds of thousands of people rose into the air, landed on the ground, and kept kissing the ground. The simple chorus made them wave their hands vigorously in the air and sing along at the top of their lungs.

The seven members of Bombardment Meteor ran back and forth on the stage with their free and wild figures. Amidst the deafening crowd, a sea of ​​black pirate flags flickered and rolled in the night sky.

"Deep inside me, I am gradually disappearing into darkness..."

"I can feel the end coming~ I swear~"

"I will succeed~"

The president of LV was sitting in the audience, squinting his eyes at the artist who had been on the brand's top list since the beginning of this year. He had been following up on the cooperation negotiations for more than half a year, but there was still no result.

But the answer had already been revealed in the performance on the first day of the Coachella Music Festival a few days ago. He and a group of executives from the company came here just to see with their own eyes this superstar who had swept the world.

With an experienced eye, he looked at Gong Cheng's sweat-soaked black shirt, and the suit jacket that had been casually thrown into the crowd, all of them were Armani haute couture.

Since Armani signed a contract with him, the specific financial reports of LV and other brands are unclear, but the sales of major offline flagship stores have skyrocketed...

"You're standing on the edge, looking up, thinking you!"

"Born this way!"

The roars and shouts of over a hundred thousand people made the Coachella Valley explode in the night like rolling thunder! Cheerleaders, pirate flags, and massive banners undoubtedly demonstrated Gong Cheng's terrifying popularity on stage.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the seven people on the Coachella main stage in silence. Their singing was transmitted to the world, and on the screen behind them, the album sales continued to climb by tens of thousands.

On the secondary screen of the stage, a VCR-like video was playing. By the dim river, the figures of Bombardment Meteor stood in the night, their roars intertwined with the live singing.

“I will succeed!!!”

"You were born this way!"

Amidst the roaring rock sounds, there were their shouts: “Reach the top!!!” “Let our album sales and sound sources explode all over the world!!!” “…”

In the video, the roars of the young men attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of people at the scene. They watched silently as a face flashed across the screen, and the bodies and arms that kept jumping in the air gradually fell down.

The seven figures of Bombardment Meteor arrived at the last position. Gong Cheng's face, bathed in the moonlight, appeared before the eyes of countless viewers. "Shit! I'll be so popular that their implants will melt! I'll be so popular that the world will explode..."

His messy black hair, blown by the night wind, was as unruly and willful as his expression.

Gong Cheng stood under the big screen, his back to himself, holding the microphone, his head held high, and roared out the ending of the song, "You were born this way!"

"Born this way!"

"..."

Although the Bombardment Meteor crew's shouting on the screen was in Korean, thanks to the dedicated work of the editor, it had already been translated into English.

"It's too crazy! But I like this!" "Awesome! But aren't you afraid of being banned by Kpop after saying this? Almost half of Kpop will be wiped out!" The scrolling barrage of comments expressed the indescribable excitement in his heart.

"Ban them? Would Xiao Xiba dare? I'm telling you, after Coachella, Xiao Xiba will definitely be praising the oppas! Don't worry, within an hour, they'll be taking advantage of the pride of the Great Cold Nation again. How shameless!"

"..."

Far away in Seoul, countless media outlets watching the live broadcast fell silent, and inside Red Velvet's dormitory.

Son Seungwan and Kim Yerin looked at Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi sitting on the sofa with trembling faces. "So, this is what Tarot said in the group show?"

Pei Zhuxuan nodded and sighed. I didn't expect that he would be released. But looking at their current situation, even if he was released, it wouldn't have any impact, right?
"Oh my god, I don't know what to say." Son Seungwan shook his head and stared at the live broadcast in shock. This third album of the series by Bombardment Meteor is of such high quality.

You can tell by the madness of the audience. As for the domestic media, she thinks they will be forced to shut up. After all, this is about bringing K-pop to the world, and no group in the entire K-pop world can do what they have done now.

Son Seungwan even suspected that this song from the third album of the series would win Bombardment Meteor's first number one single on the B charts, setting another record for the group in K-pop history.

"The very beginning~"

"I will tell you all my true thoughts."

The song that came out of the live broadcast room again was "Believer", the last song of the 3rd album of the Bombardment Meteor series. The dense drum beats made Son Seungwan feel numb. It was another high-quality hit song.

"I'm tired of the monotony around me. I'm already filled with anger~"

"..."

On the Coachella stage, behind Gong Cheng's resounding singing, the concept of Bombardment Meteor's first full-length album flashed on the screen: "Nostalgia is a proper noun for the past; anticipation is for the good—pain is ongoing."

"Heart-breaking pain~"

"You make me lose all hope, yet I am willing to become your devout believer!"

The special effects device at the edge of the stage, along with Gong Cheng's singing, "swish" and surged into red fireworks, and the dense drumbeats trembled in the hearts of more than 100,000 people...

The light of the fireworks illuminated the faces of the seven members of Bombardment Meteor, and sweat flowed freely in the flames.

"Singing alone in sadness and despair~"

“Examine yourself through soul-searching~”

"..."

Wu Sehun sat in front of the drum stand and kept beating the drum. Although there was not much part, when he saw the surging crowd of hundreds of thousands of people below the stage, he waved his arms even more vigorously!
Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer thought about everything they had encountered since joining the group, and then looked at the crowds who were cheering crazily, and couldn't help but want to cry. They are worthy of the nickname "softies" from the fans' mouths.

"The last one~"

"Thanks to the blazing flames of passion~"

Park Jae-bum and Zhang Yixing were interacting crazily with fans at the edge of the stage, sweating profusely.

"Even if there's a hail of bullets, even if there's a violent storm~"

"My life~my love~my motivation still comes from this~"

Lin Yingxiong sat on the speaker, holding the microphone and occasionally helping Gong Cheng with the harmony. The songs in the third series were extremely difficult to sing. After singing three songs in a row without stopping, he was exhausted and gasping for breath.

"..."

"Heart-breaking pain~"

"You made me regain my faith~ I became a devout believer~"

As the song came to an end, the spotlights gradually went out, and the stage was instantly shrouded in darkness. Wu Sehun and others stood up from their instruments and came to Gong Cheng's side. The seven of them stood side by side in the center of the stage.

The curtain dropped, and a special effect of flames surged across the huge screen.

Lines of text emerged one by one, corresponding to the concept of the third album in this series, "3#Crown", and also representing Gong Cheng's original intention in creating the song "Believer".

"When everything turns to ashes and burns you,"

"Only through excruciating pain can you be invincible. Pain has tempered you, and you have become its believer."

Under the gaze of 4 people at Coachella, the words faded away, and a bright screen played out the journey of Bombardment Meteor7 in recent months, from the unlimited expansion of the four people to their transformation into the villainous boss of K-pop.

European and American fans who often follow Bombardment Meteor, watching the video on the screen, were reminded of their concept in the second series: "Our youth is more than just spotlights, microphones, and screams..."

The tobacco and alcohol floating in the dim picture add a few keywords that belong to them to the unfinished words of Series 2: [cigarettes, alcohol, confusion, pain...]

Park Chanyeol turned around and looked at the past flashing on the big screen, tears in his eyes.

"Anio, are you really a wimp?" Gong Cheng curled his lips speechlessly and patted his shoulder. The other members chuckled.

"Oh my god, we've done it, right?" Wang Jiaer asked softly, panting as he tried to calm himself down. He breathed a sigh of relief, watching the stumbling steps and the pressure he'd been carrying along the way.

"Why think so much? Just walk off the stage."

"Drinking?"

"Didn't we agree long ago to celebrate with Brother Dayu and the others?"

The seven of them chatted quietly, their shoulders and backs, tense for the past six months, now relaxed considerably. The seven figures, still standing tall, slowly walked off the stage into the night, while the images scrolling across the giant screen continued unabated.
The attention of the hundreds of thousands of spectators at the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room was attracted by the documentary being played, and almost no one noticed their departure.

In the video, under the broad daylight of Seoul, Oh Sehun, Park Chanyeol, and Jackson Wang are shuttling between the practice rooms of EXO, GOT7, and Bombardment Meteor, while Park Jae-bum and Lim Young-woong are running between their own company and the JYP building.

Zhang Yixing travels between flights in China and the Peninsula... Gong Cheng is busy in the composition room, preparing his first full-length album and music video.

In the last light to go out in JYP, seven figures were lying on the floor of the small practice room, their chests heaving as they gasped for breath. The sweat flowing on the floor was clearly visible in the camera.

The scene changed, and in a noisy and brightly lit nightclub, seven unruly figures were dancing on the floor, sipping drinks numbly.

Each member of the "Pao Tuan" has been on the hot search, in love, cheating, spreading rumors, smearing, and the memories that have never been erased by the Internet are like an intertwined chain of codes, entangled and suffocating.

With the release of the first volume in the series, the video images gradually brightened up a bit.

Park Chanyeol held a camera and filmed the members' tired faces resting on the flight, "An Ning Ha Sai Yo, this is Bombardment Meteor's vlog!"

"The members are all resting. Oh my god, I'm really tired..."

The camera captured scenes that rotated continuously, including the beach, swimming pool, desert, racetrack, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Jeju Island, and Los Angeles, which was captured just two days ago...

Seven figures stand in the dusk of Los Angeles, in a place that looks like Venice Beach.

A voiceover came, and Wu Sehun asked in confusion, "Why is the title of the first regular album called "The Bottom of the Ninth Inning"?

"Bottom of the ninth inning, a sports term..." Gong Cheng's unhurried voice was transmitted to every corner of the world.

As the voice faded, seven figures on the beach, under the setting sun, raised their fists and shouted at the waves, "Bombardment Meteor, winner!"

The time displayed in the lower right corner of the screen is August 21st, which was just last night.

The screen fell into darkness, and Park Jae-bum's anxious voice was heard, "Oh my god, I don't know what will happen tomorrow? What will happen to Bombardment Meteor?"

"I was a little nervous too. I suddenly remembered the question the cartoonist asked when we were filming the second volume of the series, 'Will you win?'" Zhang Yixing's voice was a little nervous.

Amidst the conversation, the blurry picture cut into a video as if going back in time, a video from a few months ago.

The date is marked below. Many "stargazers" who were watching the live broadcast clearly remember this time point, which was the moment when the "Broken Wing Plan" was launched.

In the bar box filled with tobacco smoke, there were scattered wine bottles and glass shards on the floor... Seven figures who had just been dazzling on the stage were now lying crookedly on the sofa.

Park Chanyeol and Wang Jiaer stole the spotlight by hugging each other and crying bitterly. Wu Sehun and others raised their glasses of wine to comfort these two "softies". Gong Cheng, with a slightly drunk look in his eyes, boosted the morale of the troops.

"Next year, I'm going from Seoul to Taipei, Tokyo, Osaka, Bangkok, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London..."

"I want to sing amid screams, the venue is too small, the audience is too small, no way!"

The video on the big screen was like an old-fashioned TV from the 90s, flashing a burst of snow. Behind the main stage, brilliant fireworks suddenly burned in the night sky, "whoosh~", illuminating the dim Coachella Valley.

"Bang~"

The second fireworks display tonight also illuminated the figures of hundreds of thousands of spectators and the erected pirate flags, but the seven figures of Bombardment Meteor were no longer visible on the stage illuminated by the fireworks.

The huge screen with flickering snow fell into darkness.

The jumping fireworks special effects formed a line of subtitles [《3#Crown》——End.], and the paragraph that emerged immediately after it made the words "Bombardment Meteor" and "Tarot" particularly dazzling under the sky full of fireworks.

【Free together, fall together, share one dream, do it together】

The story that cannot be told in one album is Tarot and Bombardment Meteor

Bombardment Meteor, Winner
