Chapter 283 Unexpected Joy
Chapter 283 An unexpected surprise
A few days later, October 25th.
"Qian'an, don't forget to listen in time."
Cheng Qian'an had just walked out of the house when Wang Jiaer sent him a message on his mobile phone.
"I will listen to it as soon as possible."
Cheng Qian'an replied, and then turned to speak to Liu Zhimin who had just gone out.
"Don't forget to listen to my new song."
"mo?"
Liu Zhimin was confused.
"Jackson, you know, GOT7. He has released a new album. There is a song in it that I wrote. Go listen to it."
"What's the name?"
Liu Zhimin was half confused, took out his mobile phone, lowered his head and searched obediently.
"Meteor."
Cheng Qian'an thought for a while, then used his few fans to post the news on Instagram and forwarded it to WeChat Moments.
Look, my brother is now also a famous composer who produced songs for Wang Jiaer.
"Doesn't it sound good?"
Cheng Qianan smiled and looked at Liu Zhimin who was wearing headphones.
"Not bad, sounds good."
Yoo Jimin nodded, praised aloud, and took out his mobile phone to read the composer and lyrics information scrolling at the beginning of the lyrics.
"I will recommend it to you and your relatives when you go back, so listen to it."
Cheng Qianan said with a smile, the elevator happened to stop at the first floor at this time.
"Gui, I know."
Liu Zhimin agreed, waved to him goodbye and walked out of the elevator.
Cheng Qian'an went to the underground garage, got in his car, played the song that he had listened to countless times while making it a few days ago, and drove to work accompanied by the sound of the music.
Today is the time for Wang Jiaer’s digital album to be released.
Although he was the last to participate in the production, he was the first to release it.
Although the album that Cheng Qianan mainly participated in the production of is officially released, the album is called Mirror, and the song he participated in the production of is called Meteor.
The digital album is not mainly aimed at Koreans, as shown by the fact that there is only one Korean song in the playlist. It is aimed at Asian, European and American groups other than South Korea.
The results were as expected, neither up nor down, which is also a typical idol trend.
Dozens of countries have topped the Billboard and iTunes album charts, and domestic album sales lists such as QQ Music and Kugou Music are at the forefront.
But no one listened, except the fans.
The song did not enter the charts of Melon, Mnet, etc. in South Korea. This is mainly because Wang Jiaer has never promoted it in South Korea, and even some fans do not know that he has released a digital album.
This is a typical phenomenon since Kpop has expanded overseas in recent years, not just Wang Jiaer.
Fans work hard to improve the charts, and it seems that the performance is quite good on paper, but only fans listen to the song, only fans praise it, and few passers-by listen to it.
All in all, the quality of the songs is still not up to standard and does not meet the taste of the public.
As the second composer and first arranger, Cheng Qian'an will probably get some money from album and single sales, but it's just better than nothing, not even as good as the remuneration Wang Jiaer paid him.
Although it was only the second work, in fact, he was mainly responsible for the later songs. It was just the general framework and the beat was decided by Wang Jiaer.
Turning decay into magic, although it is a bit inappropriate to say it, but it is true. He put a lot of thought into the arrangement and did not let it be filled with EDM, and instead used some instruments.
He is even quite conceited and thinks that his song is the most melodic.
It turns out that this is indeed the case.
A turning point gradually appeared.
At this time, the real-time charts have not been cancelled, and the phenomenon of fans swiping the charts is still serious. It is even common for returning groups to swipe the charts at midnight.
Although GOT7 and Wang Jiaer are not as popular as EXO, BTS, etc., they are still a first-line group with many fans, and their album songs can be on the charts in the middle of the night.
Fans actually know very well whether the songs are good or not. They are all songs in the album, and they are all Wang Jiaer's songs. Naturally, they choose the ones that can be heard and listen to them several times.
As a result, I unexpectedly discovered that it is indeed a good song, to the extent that even if I am not a fan, I would take the initiative to listen to it.
And Cheng Qianan's confidence did not turn into arrogance. The songs he produced were ranked at the forefront by fans and were on the charts at midnight.
And the effect of brushing the rankings is indeed there.
After getting up in the morning, people who open the software and prepare to listen to music see that the real-time charts are filled with a large number of unknown idol groups at the top. Most people's first choice is to quit.
But there are always a few people who are interested and will click on it, or choose to listen after hearing Wang Jiaer’s name.
The list is constantly rising thanks to pure listening.
The song that was supposed to fall off the list again after the sun rose actually miraculously stayed on the list. Although it was just barely able to fall off the list and was at the bottom, it also gained new exposure compared to before.
In movies, it’s called reverse decline, in music, it’s called counterattack, and for Wang Jiaer, it’s called rejuvenation. Although it’s just a sign at the moment, it’s still a gratifying rise!
Cheng Qianan is naturally concerned about the performance of this song, or in other words, he is concerned about the performance of each of his songs.
It's expected to fly off the list in seconds, but it's a rare thing to be on the list.
Wang Jiaer naturally also noticed it. He paid attention to the situation of the new album immediately. He found signs of improvement in the subsequent tracks and promoted it in a timely manner.
This is good news for him. A song he wrote has never been on the charts before. Seeing such good momentum, he is naturally more interested than anyone else.
For Wang Jiaer, it is more like an unexpected surprise.
The song moves forward steadily on the road of counterattack, and I don’t know where it will end up.
In addition to this news, there is another thing.
S.M. Company responded to his email. First of all, it said that the results were good, but it was confusing.
His song was bought by S.M., which is a good thing, but it was explained that this song will not be used in the title song of this comeback.
When he saw this, Cheng Qianan felt a little disappointed in his heart, thinking that he had just lost the election.
However, after reading the following content, my mood turned into surprise.
Because he often uploads some of his inspiration clips to his ins and YouTube, including an extra song he recorded when he was recording for the (G)I-DLE band.
Is this considered a mistake?
It just so happened that this song was chosen by S.M.
He simply stated in the email that the style was in line with this comeback, and that he hoped to buy his orchestral music. If he agreed, he could modify it into a pop music, then produce it and send it to the mailbox of S.M Company.
This coincidence or misfortune is like a village with dark willows and bright flowers, also known as willows and willows planted unintentionally.
I don’t know how I was discovered by S.M. Company. Since I say this, then do it well and try to give yourself a reputation.
Although the process was a little bumpy, he finally achieved his goal.
This good news was a good start for him in the upcoming November, and also brought an end to the ordinary October that was about to end.
Thanks to Late Autumn Linren__Sudshi Yishi for the 100-point reward!
Chapter completed!
