On September 3rd, the overwhelming melody of "Jiangnan Style" dominated the country. T-ara's mini seventh album, "Mirage," was released under the gaze of industry insiders.
Just like T-ara, KARA was in a similar predicament. Their mini fifth album, "Pandora," was released ten days ago, but was firmly suppressed by "Jiangnan Style" on the music charts and remained in second place for ten whole days.
However, KARA had a chance to profit from this.
KBS was currently banning YG, and the singer of "Jiangnan Style," PSY, was an artist under YG, so he was unable to play live at KBS Music Bank.
Since he had lost this score, KARA, who had been following closely behind, had a chance to compete at the music bank on September 7th.
T-ara, on the other hand, might not have such a chance.
"Jiangnan Style" was a magical song. The horse-riding dance was popular from within the country to abroad. Not only did it sweep across Asia, it also conquered Europe and America. This was the time when it was repaid with great success from Europe and America. No one would be able to stop it in the charts next week. Even if they did not play live, they would still be able to eat the cake. KARA had already foreseen that they would eat dust in the next week, so they gritted their teeth and fought hard for the current week.
T-ara had bumped into them at this time, competing for the next week's chart. The outcome was obvious.
However, no one felt much about it. If it were not for Tang Jinyan's efforts to turn the tide, the album would have been released while they were stuck in the national anti-anti craze. It was obvious that the results would have been an unimaginable number.
No matter what, they were either second or third in all the charts, and their physical sales were not bad either. This was enough to satisfy people.
Therefore, the release of this new song felt like an ancient well with no ripples. It was as if success or failure did not matter at all, and it was just fulfilling the president's plan.
It was Monday, the day that office workers hated the most.
Tang Jinyan did not slack off either. He was dealing with some necessary documents at Incheon Corporation.
After he was done, he leisurely made a cup of coffee, leaned back in his chair, and turned on his computer to watch the music video.
The complete story music video of "Day by Day + Sex Love" was a little over 15 minutes long.
The sixth mini-series "day by day" was released two months ago. At that time, in addition to the dance music video, the first half of the plot music video was also released. Now, the second half of the seventh mini-series was released.
Back then, Tang Jinyan knew that there was only half an episode, so he did not watch it. Now that the full version was available, he was happy to watch the show.
A music video, especially one that involved the underworld, felt a little childish to him. However, seeing familiar faces tossing about in it, accompanied by familiar music, it was quite interesting to watch.
He couldn't help but grin when he saw the scenes he had helped shoot.
Suddenly, he felt that doing entertainment was indeed quite fun. It seemed that when he could deepen his understanding of it, he would be able to personally operate some things to play with.
After watching the music video, Tang Jinyan felt that something was missing, so he rewatched it from the beginning.
Even after reading it, Zhang Xuan still felt that something was missing. He scratched his head and pondered for a long time before gradually coming to a realization.
— — Li Juli was not in this music video.
He turned off the MV and thought quietly for a while. Then he got up and went out to visit the Incheon Prosecutor's Office.
The new Prosecutor General was taking office today. When he arrived, the internal meeting was already over and they were just leaving.
"Eh?
Who is this? "
When the Prosecutor General saw Tang Jinyan in the corridor, he looked confused and asked the people around him, "Is he also a colleague?"
Someone who recognized Tang Jinyan helped to introduce him, "This is President Tang Jinyan, a famous young entrepreneur in Incheon."
"Oh?
Nice to meet you. "
The Prosecutor General spoke in an official tone with a dignified face, "President Tang came to the Prosecutor General's Office. Is there something you want to report?"
Tang Jinyan spoke at the right time, "There are some things I want to report to you."
The Prosecutor General looked serious, "Well … come to the office."
At this stage, the Prosecutor General who had just taken office was one of them. Of course, such a thing had to be kept a secret. The two foxes had a tacit understanding on this matter and did not even exchange a glance. This big show of playing strangers in public ended naturally and smoothly.
After entering the office and closing the door, the Prosecutor General put on a playful smile, "Jinyan, who are you going to report?"
Tang Jinyan said seriously, "I'm going to report that Prosecutor General Li did not treat people to a full meal."
The Prosecutor General laughed, "I'm not going to take the blame for this. You can ask Zhixian to treat him again."
Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "Most likely it will be my pocket that will suffer. The Prosecutor General is not kind."
Li Du's father laughed and looked like he was concerned about the love life of the younger generation, "How's your relationship with Soyeon recently?"
"Very good. Thank you for your concern."
"Have you considered getting married?"
"Soyeon's career is at its peak. You also know that it's not very convenient for artists like her to get married."
Tang Jinyan smiled and said, "As for me, there are a lot of things to deal with. I also have no plans to get married in the short term."
"Well …" Li Du's father nodded, "Have you seen Zhixian recently?
Has the bowl cut been changed? "
Tang Jinyan thought to himself that they had just had dinner the night before. How long had it been since then? Of course, he would not say this out loud. He only said, "They've been too busy recently. It's not good for me to keep bothering them."
"Friends should keep in touch more. Friendship will fade if you don't see each other for a long time."
Tang Jinyan smiled slightly, "That's why I'm here to congratulate Uncle on his appointment …"
Li Du's father laughed and pointed at him, "You … find a quiet place to have lunch together?"
"Then I'll have to bother Uncle!
That's why I'm here to report! "
Li Du's father laughed loudly.
T-ara's new song had just been released and his schedule was extremely busy. Tang Jinyan did not manage to meet up with Park Soyeon for the next two days, let alone meet up with Li Juli.
When he met them again, it was already three days later. It was September 6th in M!
T-ara's comeback performance was on Countdown, so he naturally came to support it.
He had been going in and out of T-ara's dorm for quite a while now, so the girls were used to his presence.
Perhaps it was because of his attitude towards Li Juli last time, but now the girls had an inexplicable trust in him. They were not guarded against him, and sometimes they would walk around in front of him in disheveled clothes. For example, when he saw Li Juli's shoulder for the first time, he did not know how many times they had exposed themselves in front of him this month … In the beginning, he would cough twice to remind them to be careful, but later on, he was too lazy to pay attention to it.
This time, it was not much different in the waiting room.
His manager, Park Guihan, had gone out to find someone from Mnet for some reason. Other than a few makeup girls, he was the only man sitting in the waiting room.
A few T-ara girls were undressing as they entered the changing room. Before they even entered, their bare backs were already exposed, as if he did not exist. Tang Jinyan also turned a blind eye.
Park Soyeon was still doing her makeup outside. She smiled and said, "Did you enjoy it?"
"I'm numb."
"Sometimes I'm really curious. You really act like a gentleman in front of us. You don't look like a gangster at all."
"I'm not a creature of the lower body. It's not like I can't find someone to do it for me. Let's just be friends. Thinking too much won't do anyone any good."
"Didn't you say you had dirty thoughts about me when you were friends with me?"
"It's normal to think about it, but it doesn't mean I have to act on it …" As he said this, Tang Jinyan's gaze unconsciously swept past Li Juli. She was calmly drawing her eyebrows, as if she did not hear them.
Her strange bowl cut had finally been replaced. Her beautiful black hair hung loosely over her cheeks, blocking his gaze from sizing her up.
He turned his gaze back and casually changed the topic. "Xuan Bing, your fingers are thick and short, but you're pretty good at putting on makeup …"
The makeup girl was very surprised. "President Tang still remembers my name?"
"To be honest, it's hard to forget."
Seeing that Tang Jinyan was actually reminiscing about old times with the makeup girl, Park Soyeon's beautiful eyes glanced at the silent Li Juli, and then glanced at Tang Jinyan, who was casually talking nonsense. She blinked thoughtfully.
