The time when The Princess returned was not a lively day, and she did not coincide with any popular artists.
At least it seems a lot more peaceful than when the first official album was released.
Thanks to the fact that the group's meet-and-greet tours are in full swing, although they haven't appeared on many variety shows, the group's exposure is still maintained at a certain level.
And this time it returns in the form of an EP, it doesn’t take too long for fans to wait. All in all, it’s just the right time.
As soon as the sound source came online, Jiang Yuan also chose to click on the MV of The Princess to watch.
Although Jiang Yuan has watched both the practice room version and the official MV in advance, he still wants to see the officially released version and pay attention to the feedback on the new song's release.
The official version of the MV was released on the official account of The Princess, and the domestic version also thoughtfully added subtitle translations.
Before Jiang Yuan could type the song title in the input box, he had already seen the title of the new song on the search terms.
"Next Level" is the first opening track of The Princess series EP. The song comes from the girl group aespa. It can be regarded as the representative track of the group. Once it was released, it received a very enthusiastic response and became a chart-topper.
Hot orders.
Whether it is the rhythm of the song or the dance part, it can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Jiang Yuan was thinking about it when the MV started playing on his mobile phone.
The strong electronic sound as the prelude of the song caught the audience's ears at once, and Jiang Yuan was quickly attracted by the first scene of the MV.
In the production of the MV, Jiang Yuan probably provided some ideas based on the original version, and the rest of the settings were discussed and designed by Chi Ruiying and others.
So when Jiang Yuan watched it for the first time, he thought it was a MV with pretty good visual effects.
The opening scene is a very impactful special effect. The spaceship flies across the sky and falls towards the wilderness that was previously shown in the trailer.
Soon as the song started to sing, the scene was cut to the five members of the group.
Compared with The Princess' previous MV, "Next Level" is obviously a different style.
The members wore sci-fi-style costumes and started singing and dancing inside the technological spaceship.
The moment the song starts, it's a rap that's as impactful as a picture.
"I'm on next level yeah....."
The very accented rap, paired with the drum accompaniment, makes people start to shake unconsciously.
Because he was familiar with the song and had recorded a demo as a conductor, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but start singing along after the song started playing.
After singing two lines, I came back to my senses, paused the playback after thinking about it, and then took out another mobile phone, set up the camera, and filmed myself.
After confirming that the video recording had started, Jiang Yuan resumed playing the MV.
"Unexpected balck out, temptation is too hot too hot..."
While watching, Jiang Yuan swayed and sang along, while adding some dance movements on his hands.
For MVs of group songs like this, the focus is more on filming people.
The set scenes appear more as backgrounds, and more attention is focused on the members' dance and faces.
This MV also provides The Princess with great resources in terms of makeup, and she has already changed into several different looks in just one minute.
Sometimes, in the blink of an eye, the scene and costumes change together.
In Jiang Yuan's eyes, it was a visual feast, which gave an excellent display of the members' looks.
Fans obviously also like this style. Sometimes, depending on how the makeup is in the MV and how many different looks they have changed, whether it looks good or not becomes a judgment on the company's level of care.
After the MV was released and played for a while, Jiang Yuan also saw some barrages passing by in real time.
The main reason why Jiang Yuan was distracted was because a key word appeared on the barrage, which was Jiang Yuan's name.
After The Princess changed into many outfits that fans were very satisfied with, there was a comment that Jiang Yuan's aesthetics can always be trusted.
As soon as the song was released, Jiang Yuan finished watching the MV. In just over four minutes, he also shot a reaction video of the singing-along version.
After checking the video material for a while, Jiang Yuan planned to send it to Chi Ruiying later to let the other party see if it could be used to promote The Princess.
When Jiang Yuan sent the video to Chi Ruiying, many fans were watching the "Next Level" MV online at the same time.
As far as the standard of MV production is concerned, it can definitely be called excellent. After all, the filming cost alone is already a large amount of money, much more expensive than some of Jiang Yuan's own MVs.
At the same time, the members of The Princess are newcomers who have just debuted and have been touring, so everyone is in good condition.
Paired with exquisite makeup and a beautiful background, it is also a treat for the eyes of fans.
However, one thing that is more in line with Jiang Yuan’s expectations is that “Next Level” was released not long ago. In addition to the song title, another entry was also mentioned soon.
That’s the popular certification of “ugly”.
When many singers release new songs and albums, such an entry will appear.
If it were other songs, it would be easy to say, but for "Next Level", Jiang Yuan felt that it was quite normal for it to have such a hot search.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When this song was first released in the previous life, it received such evaluation.
The song is certainly brainwashing, but it is also because most of the song is rapping, and it also includes a beat change, which is a section where the style of the entire song suddenly changes completely.
Because of these relationships, the song was called a spliced chanting song.
Obviously, such a situation would reappear in another world.
Of course, most fans still like the songs and MVs, but there are always some listeners who don't like this type of music so much.
This point also quickly received feedback on the Internet.
【The Princess returned this time, but I didn’t get it a little bit.】
[Is it okay to say something that doesn’t sound nice? 】
[I think it’s very brainwashing. I can already sing it after listening to it once. 】
[I dare not think that this is Jiang Yuan’s group. Has Jiang Lang’s talents been exhausted? 】
[What are you mocking? Isn’t it nice to hear? You must not be used to this style, right? 】
[It’s okay, but not as good as expected.]
——
After it went online, some reviews were mostly mixed.
Just like if The Princess performed well and some credit would be attributed to Jiang Yuan, the response to the song this time was not as enthusiastic as before, and many people also attributed the reason to Jiang Yuan.
Of course, along with the controversy, it also brought a popularity bonus to the song. Faced with such an entry, many passers-by also listened curiously.
The data for the first hour of the song is also soaring rapidly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it became the most listened song on multiple music software in real time, and the music performance is still shining.
An hour later, "Next Level" has successfully ranked first on many charts, including Peninsula's charts that can verify the artist's popularity.
On the one hand, The Princess already has a popularity base and can attract more listeners to listen.
In addition, although there are some spliced passages in the song "Next Level" that sound a bit fragmented, they have been relatively well handled in the song.
Furthermore, the accompaniment and rap of the song, coupled with the different timbres of the members, may make the whole song feel a bit confusing at first glance.
But if you listen to it once or twice more and think about it carefully, you will find that each member's timbre is used just right in the song.
With the dance moves, it is still a very attractive new single.
In less than an hour, there were already some really sweet attitude reversals.
[When the song was first released, I frowned, but after listening to it twice more: I'm on next level!!]
[Actually, I think the whole song is quite wonderful, it even makes my eyes light up, and it has a different style than before!]
【Am I the only one who thinks the rap part is cool?】
[The arrangement and hooks are so brain-washing, it feels like the melody will be engraved into the DNA.]
【Already preparing to film the dance challenge, looking forward to the next EP song.】
【Who said this song is noisy? This song is great!!】
——
The reversal happens in an instant. If a song becomes popular, it means that the number of people who like this type of song far exceeds the number of listeners who don't like it.
For example, after the members of The Princess debuted for several months, their ability to accept comments from the Internet has become much stronger.
Previously, the appearance of unpleasant hot searches was relatively dull, and I was even a little happy. I felt that I had kept up with the heights of some long-established groups.
In addition, being able to follow the real-time data of songs has always been very good, and everyone's mood became even calmer.
As for Ji Ruiying and others, they are thinking about the promotion plan of the song. The already popular dance challenge is naturally indispensable.
The dance challenge videos shot by the members individually and as a group are all ready, plus Jiang Yuan's cover version, which Ji Ruiying is ready to release on the day the single is released.
Although the reaction video Jiang Yuan just sent was not very formal, Chi Ruiying felt that as long as Jiang Yuan appeared in the video, it should be able to attract more love.
Not to mention that Chi Ruiying listened carefully to Jiang Yuan's singing in the video, which was quite exciting.
Even the members of The Princess were studying the feedback of the song's launch, but they were all attracted by the sound coming from the receiver of Ji Ruiying's mobile phone.
"Is there a cover song so soon?" Captain Li Jingzhi asked Chi Ruiying as the group spokesperson as always.
"No, it's your teacher Jiang." Chi Ruiying smiled and shook her head.
After hearing this, the members of The Princess also curiously gathered around Ji Ruiying and watched the rest of the video together.
Because she had a road show scheduled that day, Jiang Yuan even appeared in the video wearing full makeup.
As a trainee from Xingyuan Entertainment, the members of The Princess admire Jiang Yuan very much, and there are even fans of Jiang Yuan in the team.
It is only now that I have made my debut that I have slowly faded away.
However, when Jiang Yuan was not present, everyone couldn't help but shout and scream when watching such a reaction singing video.
While lamenting which part Jiang Yuan sang well, he also paid attention to the dance movements of Jiang Yuan's hands and lamented his proficiency in dancing.
"Why do you feel that Teacher Xiao Jiang can directly perform this song on stage?" After watching, everyone said with emotion.
"It should be almost done." Chi Ruiying recalled the dance challenge video she had watched before and nodded.
"Okay, now the sound source score of the first hour of the new song has been released, and the data in all aspects are very good."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Tonight I will upload the dance challenge video of you and Teacher Xiao Jiang to start the dance challenge of the new song. If nothing else, the current results should be stable.
.”
"And the video you just saw was also sent to me by Teacher Xiao Jiang. He said that if you want to use it for publicity, you can send it directly. I plan to wait until tomorrow to release it."
"Coupled with the video of the practice room version, the popularity of the song will continue until you go on the show to promote the song. Then it will depend on your performance."
Ji Ruiying also directly explained her upcoming promotion plan to The Princess, which also inspired the members to practice and start preparing for the first official stage of the song.
For the first hour of performance of The Princess sound source, Jiang Yuan also received a performance feedback post from Chi Ruiying.
Compared with the previous debut of the first album, all aspects of data have been further improved, and they no longer look like a new group that just debuted.
Even when some media in the Peninsula compiled the results of The Princess, they also used the song title "Next Level" to say that The Princess had reached a new Next level.
In China, the popularity of The Princess's new song is also continuing to soar.
Continuing the popularity of the music source online, the short dance video of The Princess group version was released first, and the dance challenge activity of the song was also officially launched.
As soon as the official challenge part came out, it didn't take long for Internet celebrities and artists to start shooting and uploading their own challenge videos.
Some of The Princess' previous dance challenges became a trend. After they became popular, as soon as they saw a new song released, everyone followed the dance challenge, which can be regarded as a kind of following trend.
This is how the popularity of the dance challenge topic accumulated little by little.
The news that The Princess had released a new single spread quickly. While having dinner with He Jing and others, Jiang Yuan had already started to be asked if he was going to dance this dance at the road show.
.
As soon as He Jing and others took the initiative to mention it, Jiang Yuan immediately became energetic. He pulled He Jing and others to watch the dance challenge video together, trying to get everyone to dance together at the road show.
The movements in the chorus are not too complicated and are relatively easy to learn, so He Jing and others took a quick look and said they could consider it.
What everyone didn't expect was that before the audience could interact with each other during the road show that night, some fans started shouting for dancing.
