Chapter 36: The Fierce Response After Debut

  "Ah, it's finally over; Haha, brother, Yuri, Director Li, all the staff have worked hard; The entire MV has been filmed, and Chen Shuo also let out a deep breath;"

  "Don't mention thanks, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to enter the Infinite Challenge now; this small favor is nothing. In the future, if there's anything that needs me, just say so, no need to be polite." Haha, now Chen Shao must also be on a brotherly terms with him too.

  "That little thing, don't keep mentioning it all day. In Infinite Challenge, your position is the only one in Korea that you can take on; even if I didn't say it to PD, I believe they would have looked for you too." Chen Shao had been made very embarrassed by HaHa these past two days; originally it was something he should have had, but he just mentioned it and ended up owing someone a favor.

  "That's it, I'll invite you to dinner again when I have time. I still have an announcement to run later, so I'll leave first; also don't forget, the song 'Baby' that you promised, haha I've heard it too, I know it's a very heavenly song; so I asked Chen Shao to sing a song together; Chen Shao didn't refuse either, said he would give one if there was a suitable one."

  MV shooting is completed, and the song has also been recorded; so next it's up to the company's production department.

  Many people are waiting in front of their computers for the debut single of rebirth, who had consecutively released three classic songs in the previous period; (although 0 also counts as one song, but it was a coincidence that it lasted for ten minutes, so everyone understands)

  Three days after Chen Shuang finished filming the MV, it was announced on the website that Rebirth would release their debut single and MV on February 1st at dawn, and album pre-orders would also start at the same time as the release of the single and MV.

  Everyone saw this news and started looking forward to it; also want to know that this rebirth, in the case of not yet debuted, created three songs so good, what will his debut song be like? So many people are waiting in front of the computer.

  Among the waiting crowd, there was also a fan of Chen Shuo; this was from the moment Chen Shuo's information was released, someone who had the good fortune to hear Chen Shuo sing that song for his father on the spot; and that video was also uploaded by her online, after which she began to pay attention to Chen Shuo and established a fan group, becoming Chen Shuo's first fan. The person in charge of the company also summoned this fan after learning about it, and Chen Shuo had also met this first fan of his; this fan is called Zhang Jia Yu.

  Chen Shuo's fan club is called Tian Kong, the support color is Chen Shuo's favorite bright blue; the support item is a bright blue heart-shaped balloon (most fan clubs are heart-shaped balloons, so I just followed suit).

  Chen Shao now has more than 50,000 fans, of course, most of them are ordinary fans; if Chen Shao's debut is successful, his popularity will definitely increase; if he fails, these 50,000 people will definitely decrease a lot.

  "Why is time going by so slowly, hurry up?" The members of Girls' Generation were also waiting in front of the computer, and until now, they didn't know what Chen Shuo's debut song was called; even Sooyoung and YoonA didn't know; Yuri, as the female lead, didn't know either; it can be imagined how deeply Chen Shuo guarded this song.

  "Come on, Chen Shao is the same, ask him what song it is and he won't say, he even won't mention his own girlfriend; it's really..." Sunny complained on the side.

  "You should be content, at least Taeyeon sang her song for us to listen. Honestly, that song really suits Taeyeon. Isn't the song 'Thinking of One Person' a true portrayal of Taeyeon and Sunny's separation for five years?" Upon hearing Sunny's complaint, Taeyeon consoled; and after Soyeon finished singing that song for them to hear; in her heart she thought, it really is like that; two people separated for five years, one person on the other side thinking of another.

  Yoon-ah was surprisingly not jealous this time, but instead smiled and teased Soo-young.

  "Stop arguing, there's only one minute left until midnight, Sunny hurry up and refresh the page!" Xika said at this time.

  Time: 11:59:30

  29, 28, 27, 26... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Click to refresh;

  When the audio and MV of "Baby" appeared on the page, most people waiting at the computer did not hesitate to choose to download the MV version; anyway, they had to pay for it, so why not spend a little more money? Since you can appreciate the MV while listening to the song, why not do it?

  A three-minute song video ended soon.

  Everyone also woke up from this song with strong toxicity; the first reaction after waking up is to watch it again or listen to it once more; once, twice, three times...

  "This song is totally awesome; the toxicity is too strong; I've listened to it and I want to be friends with Chen Shao, this song is a godly song for girls, which girl doesn't like this song? It's hard not to get popular now; I'm starting to envy you" Yu Li said immediately after listening to the song, as the female lead, her curiosity about the song was the highest; now that she's heard such an enchanting song, it would be strange if she didn't envy Meng Nei.

  "Really? I said, Busy Inside, are you a prophet or something? How did you grasp Chen Shao so firmly at such a young age?" Xiu Ying chimed in from the side.

  "What's so exaggerated about what you're saying?" Xiao Xian was teased by these heartless sisters and his face turned bright red, but he still felt very proud in his heart because he is my boyfriend, the one I got my hands on when I was 10 years old, you can all be jealous.

  Yoon-ah didn't say anything, but the smile on her face never disappeared; after getting to know Chen Shao, Yoon-ah started becoming quieter, sometimes even more so than Xiao Xian; everyone found this strange and thought maybe Yoon-ah's relatives had come to visit, so they didn't ask; girls always go through a phase like that anyway.

  "It's not just the duet of 'Baby' and 'Busy Inside', another love song duet is also great, with a sweet style; Chen Shuo's debut album can be said to have debuted together with Busy Inside? I'm so envious!" Taeyeon didn't think they only listened to one song, she had listened to and watched all three.

  Not just a few people at that time, but also those who knew Chen Shao had almost the same reaction; online comments were even more heated.

  "Wow, Rebirth's three songs are so good, especially 'Baby', I super love it; From now on, I'm a fan of Rebirth, I'll go register now, I want to be a part of the sky"

  "Awesome song on the same floor, and that girl who sang while playing piano was also great, who is she, seeking answer"

  "Is the upstairs stupid? Even Rebirth's girlfriend doesn't know"

  "Right, Rebirth's girlfriend is really beautiful, I just don't know her detailed information, does that great god have it, tell me"

  "I also only know she's Rebirth's girlfriend, named Xu Xian or something, don't know anything else"

  The online praise is overwhelming. The previous doubts about Chen Shao's pre-debut relationship and the doubts about Xiao Xian have all disappeared without a trace.

  The next morning, Chen's debut single "Baby" and Xiao Xian topped the headlines of the news.

  In less than a day, "Baby" started sweeping across major websites and directly topped the February 2007 popularity search chart; from midnight to 9 am it reached number one on the popularity search chart, completely surpassing Lee Hyori's previous record.

  Are people still asking if Chen Shao's debut was successful? Did you say it was successful? Of course, it was successful. If this isn't considered successful, then how can others survive?

  It's not over yet; also don't know who shared the MV of "baby" on Tudou; in just a few hours, the click rate directly broke 10 million; looking at the trend it will continue to rise crazily; the strong European and American song style, under Chen Xiao's handsome and cute performance, completely fits the taste of European and American girls; thus also laying some foundation for Chen Xiao's market on the European and American side; fans have also increased.

  For a whole week, the streets of Korea were filled with the sound of Chen's song "Baby". Not only in Korea, but also in Europe and America, the popularity is gradually rising, with over 10 million clicks on YouTube in just one week; and it's still rising at a crazy speed. This can give you an idea of how popular this song is.

  Chen Shuo's album has also officially gone on sale, with pre-sales of 5 in the first week. The first day's sales exceeded 10,000, and the second day saw a slight decline but still around 10,000; the third day saw an increase again, followed by stable sales. Adding up the pre-sales and sales for the first week, Chen Shuo's album has already surpassed 120,000 in its first week; what an enviable number! And this is only counting domestic sales in Korea, not including Asia and Europe.

  Chen Swin was also very excited when he learned about this news. The first single has such achievement, how can you not be excited?

  Now Chen Shao is no longer dare to go out on the street like before without disguise; especially his unique hairstyle, if he doesn't wear a hat, even covering his face will be recognized; because this hairstyle is Chen Shao's logo, as long as someone sees this hairstyle, it must be Chen Shao; and now Chen Shao has encountered fans chasing him.

  "Huff...huff; these fans are too crazy, they've been chasing me for two streets and still won't give up" Chen Shao was now as embarrassed as he could be, hiding in a coffee shop.

  "What's wrong, big star, being chased so miserably?" a voice interrupted Chen Shao's monologue;

  Turning around, looking towards the source of the sound, taking a closer look, it was actually her; "How are you here Little Water Crystal?" No mistake, this person is indeed Zheng Xiujing; The nickname Little Water Crystal was given by Chen Shao on their second meeting; At that time, Little Water Crystal didn't know she was being called that, and later when she found out, she didn't have any objections, anyway, she also thought it suited herself so she didn't quarrel with Chen Shao.

  "You can be here, why can't I?" Little Shui Jing didn't know what was wrong with herself either. Every time she saw Chen Shao, they would quarrel, and there wasn't a single time when they didn't.

  "Don't you need to practice? Won't you be skipping class again, no way I have to tell Zheng Bing Shan about it, just say Zheng Bing Lian skipped class again" Zheng Xiu Jing and her sister were both cold, but that was only towards outsiders; Chen Shao also called them sisters like this, the older sister was called Zheng Bing Shan, the younger sister was called Zheng Bing Lian; sometimes they would also be called by their English names, their real names were rarely used.

  "You're saying Zheng Bing Shan? Who's Zheng Bing Lian then? Believe it or not, I'll shout 'Rebirth' loudly here!" Little Crystal's face changed immediately after hearing Chen Shao call her and her sister like that; at the same time, she threatened Chen Shao, and even opened her mouth to shout.

  "Alright, alright, I'm scared of you; sorry is enough, right?" Chen Shao had just dodged the fans, if he was discovered again now, it would be hard to run away.

  "Is saying sorry enough? What's the point of being careful then?" Little Crystal still looked displeased.

  "Then say it, what do you want to do, give me a straightforward answer." Looking at Xiaoshuijing's expression, I knew she wouldn't let things go easily; might as well be direct and avoid trouble. The two sisters were equally troublesome, and once they got angry, it was hard to placate them.

  "I want to eat Chinese food, and it has to be made by you; I heard from Yun'er that your stir-fries are delicious, so you know what to do"

  "This child, doesn't she know to keep her mouth shut? As long as she likes eating it's fine" Actually, can't blame Yuner, it was when she was eating the breakfast Chen Shao sent her that she bumped into Little Crystal, and couldn't not give it to her, so...

  "What? Unwilling? Alright, let me try out my recent singing skills first" Looking at Chen Shao's bitter face, Xiao Shuijing felt very happy; the little guy still doesn't believe you're not afraid.

  "Alright, stop yelling, I've agreed to it; let's go, we'll go to the supermarket to buy materials;" After finishing speaking, she walked out by herself, not even caring about Little Water Crystal behind her.

  "Wait for me, ah!"
