Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 131 I'm determined to crash into it no matter what.

Currently, Jiang Yan has three songs on the Melon annual chart this year.

"LOVESCENARIO" was the last song released, but it has now soared to number 2 on the yearly chart at an extremely fast pace, with BIGBANG's "BANGBANGBANG" in first place.

"1AmYou，YouAreMe" has been consistently ranked 7th on the annual charts for a long time and is unlikely to change again.

AIIIWannaDo ranked slightly lower, at number 32.

As for the collaboration song "ONEMORETIME," which premiered on the MAMA stage, the audio was released that night and immediately topped the real-time charts within an hour of its release, and entered the top ten of the daily charts the following day.

Theoretically speaking, "ONEMORETIME" is a new song that he just released this month, so he shouldn't need to release any new songs this month at least.

Generally speaking, releasing two songs in the same month may result in the later song suppressing the popularity of the earlier song, which is counterproductive.

However, for Jiang Yan, it's not that he can't post it.

With the MAMA performance effect, "ONEMORETIME" has no shortage of popularity and buzz, and is not afraid of being overshadowed by later songs.

Moreover, he didn't really value this song, and since the song's copyright was exclusively given to JYP, it's unlikely he'll sing it again.

So essentially, this song isn't even considered his "favorite son."

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Yan asked Lee Ji-eun, "Are there any big-name celebrities making a comeback recently?"

Lee Ji-eun understood the implication in his words, and her eyes lit up immediately. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "As far as I know, PSY and EXO will each have their own comeback stages next week."

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Yan immediately perked up.

He was still hesitant; if no famous artists made a comeback this month, he wouldn't really want to release the song.

Playing against weaker opponents is pointless and doesn't generate much discussion.

But now that these two guys are coming next week, he's determined to crash into them.

In front of Lee Ji-eun, Jiang Yan picked up his phone, checked the date, and said, "Well, it's 3 now."

"Hey, I've had CUBE do some pre-launch promotion these past couple of days, how about the official announcement on the 10th?"

"Qinjia?! Won't this disrupt your other schedules?"

Lee Ji-eun was somewhat shocked by Jiang Yan's swift and decisive actions; he acted immediately without hesitation.

The reason she asked today was simply because Jiang Yan hadn't made any moves since the collaboration ended, so she couldn't help but inquire.

"It's okay, but there's still one problem."

"What's the problem?"

"The question is whether or not to promote this song on TV. I can only spare two or three days next week to go to TV for recording."

"Ah—wait a minute, I'll call my agent."

Lee Ji-eun understood what Jiang Yan meant and quickly took out her phone to call her manager to inquire about her schedule for next week.

A few minutes later, Lee Ji-eun ended the call and put down her phone, saying, "I can also free up two days next week."

"Then let's just record the three shows on Friday and the weekend. But the set up in a hurry might not be very fancy, you don't mind, right?"

"Oh my, these are fine as they are. We don't need to have a particularly spectacular stage like those idols."

Lee Ji-eun waved her hand dismissively and smiled, saying that for a singer, the stage is secondary.

"I'll send a message to the agent now and tell him and the company to get ready."

As Jiang Yan spoke, he had already edited the message and sent it to Jiang Zhennan via Kakao.

Jiang Zhennan was quite surprised when he suddenly received this last-minute notification.

However, without asking any further questions, he simply replied "ok" and immediately set off to arrange the relevant matters.

After sending the message, Jiang Yan looked up and asked, "How should we arrange the stage outfits? Should we just leave them casually, or should we hire a team to make several sets?"

After thinking for a moment, Lee Ji-eun said, "There's no need to go to such lengths with clothing. It's fine to dress casually."

Hearing her say that, Jiang Yan nodded in agreement.

Anyway, they don't need to create a couple vibe. Even if the two are only a few months apart in age, they are not from the same generation, so the audience won't deliberately pair them up.

After we finished our business, the dishes we had ordered were served one after another.

The two ate and chatted there, and Jiang Yan also heard Li Zhi'en tell him some industry gossip that he usually didn't hear.

After finishing lunch with Lee Ji-eun, the two parted ways amicably.

Before parting ways, Lee Ji-eun also said that she would cooperate with the promotion in the next few days. In her words, she would slightly reveal that she would have a new song coming soon in a variety show she was going to.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yan returned to CUBE's studio as usual.

He has completed all the work on the Chinese single and is now working on the mixing process for the Japanese single "W/x/Y".

He plans to submit his second single as soon as it's finished.

He's been checking NicoNico occasionally lately, and while his follower count hasn't increased much, it's close to 100,000.

The private messages in the backend are mostly urging me to update.

However, that evening, Jiang Zhennan came to his studio with some news.

There will be an emergency meeting with Yuehua Entertainment tomorrow morning, and the topic of the meeting is related to FC, which I mentioned before.

So the next morning, everyone met in the CUBE conference room.

Jiang Yan glanced at the preliminary plan drafted by Yuehua Entertainment. There would be two shows in total, one in China and one in South Korea.

The number of participants in the trial run will be limited to 5000. As for the venue, South Korea has tentatively decided on the Olympic Handball Arena, while China will use the Shanghai Stadium.

The reason we're having this meeting so urgently today is that the venue application also takes time, so the sooner we decide on this, the better.

Jiang Yan didn't have any suggestions for Yuehua's plan; it was just a very K-pop-style FC process.

The meeting lasted for two hours, and immediately after it ended, Yuehua Entertainment began preparations.

I estimate that in about ten days, they will start advertising and open pre-sale tickets.

It may seem rushed, but it's actually not too bad.

Because if fans are willing to pay, all 1 tickets will be sold out in less than 5 minutes.

What Yuehua really needs to consider is the time required to apply for and set up the venue.

It would be truly embarrassing if all the tickets were sold out, only to find that the venue wasn't ready and had to be postponed.

As for cancellation, that's definitely impossible.

As long as tickets sell well, there's no way to cancel it, even if it's postponed or the venue changed, it will still be completed.

As we all know, concerts are only canceled in two situations: when tickets don't sell well or when the singer has an accident and can't perform.

Any excuse for canceling a concert, no matter what, is a clumsy pretext to cover up unsold tickets.
