Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 106 Surprise Premiere

As expected, Jiang Yan swept all the music show awards that week.

To date, there have been a total of 16 individuals holding the top spot on both major and minor television stations.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Yan ruled October.

This record is just one shy of APINK's record of 17 number one singles for a girl group, and just two shy of EXO's record of 18 number one singles for a boy group.

This week, TWICE basically just stood behind Jiang Yan, basking in the spotlight and clapping. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were standing like ants.

Despite JYP's various promotional activities for their title track this week, they simply couldn't compete.

Actually, the song "Gracefully" isn't bad; it's acceptable as a debut song, but it's not amazing enough and doesn't leave a lasting impression.

This song was originally intended for Red Velvet, but SM Entertainment felt the concept didn't fit and rejected it.

Backstage at Inkigayo, Kang Yeon and TWICE chatted for a while before waving goodbye to them.

The next day, on the morning of November 2nd.

Jiang Yan and his team boarded a plane and flew directly from Seoul Airport to Shanghai to begin their autograph session in China.

A few hours later, the team and I landed in Shanghai and checked into the hotel we had booked around noon.

After taking a few photos of Mina in the hotel on Kakao, he had lunch downstairs and then went back to his suite to rest.

Jiang Zhennan still can't rest. As his agent, he still needs to coordinate with the people in charge of tomorrow's autograph session venue.

The next day, Jiang Yan's first autograph session in mainland China officially began.

The signing event was held on the sixth floor of the Shanghai Bookstore, which could easily accommodate two hundred fans.

Although the number of people attending the autograph session has increased this time, the interaction time for each fan has not been deliberately shortened, which was requested by Jiang Yan herself.

We can't shorten the time just because there are many people. These people have spent real money to come and see him, so of course we should give them the best experience.

It's just a little tiring; Jiang Yan is impeccable when it comes to respecting his fans.

Of course, the only thing he can't reconcile with a small number of fans is when it comes to dating.

After greeting all the fans in the audience at the beginning, the autograph session officially began.

Feli, who were present, went on stage one by one under the guidance of the staff.

Chatting, signing autographs, and taking photos are the three usual things, nothing is missing.

Jiang Yan recognized many of the fans who came over; he could tell them off as longtime fans at a glance and could roughly recall their names.

There are quite a few new fans who have joined the fandom, and some even brought his debut album to ask if they could get a new autograph.

Generally speaking, this behavior is not allowed because the organizers of formal autograph sessions usually have clear rules that only the new album designated for this event can be signed.

So if you try to bring your old albums to get them signed, the staff will usually stop you.

Although Jiang Yan said he was very fond of his fans, he did not break the rules by signing an old album for this new fan.

He can't set this bad precedent.

However, he still gave this new fan some advice, saying that signing events are not allowed, but such behavior is permitted at fan meetings.

After the minor incident, the rest of the process proceeded without any major setbacks.

The signing session has ended, but that doesn't mean the event is over yet; there are two more sessions to come.

A classic Q&A session, plus a song performance.

There wasn't much to say about the Q&A session; it was all superficial and unrelated questions, which Jiang Yan handled with ease.

When it came time for the performance, the fans in the audience all took out their phones to record, because this would be their idol's first live performance of the title track since the comeback, apart from music show performances.

Amidst great anticipation, Jiang Yan calmly took the microphone and began to sing.

"When the weather turns cool in autumn, when the leaves turn yellow."

"Our love has become grand and dignified."

"Who is afraid of getting hurt, afraid of losing their principles?"

"The show has begun, but they haven't learned how to end it yet."

The sudden ability to understand the lyrics initially left the Chinese fans at the scene a little bewildered, but once they realized that Jiang Yan was actually singing the Chinese version, they immediately waved their support signs excitedly.

The crowd's emotions instantly soared; no one had expected to hear an unreleased Chinese version of "LOVESCENARIO" at the autograph session.

Actually, even the organizers didn't know that Jiang Yan was singing the Chinese version, because all they gave them was a pure accompaniment without any backing tracks.

He can switch between singing in Chinese and Korean, if he wants.

Feli were completely engrossed in listening. They didn't feel ashamed of their mother tongue at all because Jiang Yan was singing the Chinese version; on the contrary, they thought this version was just as good.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yan finished singing the entire song, and, still holding the microphone with a smile, asked, "Did everyone like this Chinese version?"

"like!!!!!"

"Ahhhhhh, this is so good!!!!"

"Sing it one more time, honey! I haven't heard enough!!!"

The fans reacted enthusiastically, shouting and yelling in all sorts of ways.

However, Jiang Yan certainly wouldn't sing again, because the autograph session was almost over.

""

"Felis, the Chinese version of LOVESCENARIO will be released on all platforms in a few days. Don't forget to add it to your playlist when it's released."

In fact, if we follow the normal approach of K-pop groups, they would package a Chinese song into a compilation album and sell it again.

But Jiang Yan didn't do it that way.

There are many ways to harvest vegetables, but he thinks this one is a bit low-class and doesn't look good.

He will only release this Chinese version as a single, and it will not be included in any other albums in the future.

There are two autograph sessions today; the morning session ends and there will be another one in the afternoon.

However, not long after the morning session ended, Jiang Yan unsurprisingly became a trending topic on Weibo.

The hashtag #JiangYanLOVESCENARI0ChineseFirstSinging# suddenly appeared at number 7 on Weibo's real-time trending topics.

After clicking the link to the entry, the first Weibo post with the entry appears to be from a Weibo account that seems to be private.

The article included several videos of Jiang Yan's autograph sessions, including a clip of him singing a Chinese version.

Below this Weibo post, countless Feli who couldn't attend have left various comments in the comment section.

[It's actually the Chinese version!!! The fans at the event must have been eating so well!!! (So jealous!)]

-

I cried! I missed my husband's first Chinese version concert because I didn't get a chance to sign up for the ticket sale!!!

Being a Feli is so wonderful! He always knows what we want.

[Our Yanbao is such a doting fan, I'm willing to spend money on him!!!]

[Yanbao's Chinese version has completely cured my shame about my mother tongue; it's no different from listening to any other Chinese song.]

It only sounds right when our own people sing in Chinese; those South Korean idols singing in Chinese just sound awkward!

[Urgent! When will there be a Chinese version of the audio? Even a live version would be great!]

Those Feli who couldn't attend expressed their deep regret, gritting their teeth as they watched helplessly as they missed out on "LOVE."

The first Chinese version of "SCENARIO".

Those who won the autograph session were overjoyed, because when it was their turn next, they would be able to hear this live performance, which had not yet been released, up close.
