Chapter 1267 Tangled
In the Korean music scene, singers who can truly get rid of agency companies and survive independently in the entertainment industry, only Xu Taizhi and his children can do it in the Korean music scene for decades.
In fact, even if Xu Taizhi and the children can do this, they rely on themselves to do everything, without the support of the agency, and without any plans, they can become popular. But that was also a very special period in the Korean music industry. To put it bluntly, Xu Taizhi and the children have good luck.
During the period of Seo Tae-chi and the children, at that time, the Korean music scene happened to be in the last glory of Solo and the last dawn of the team group. When Solo had lost its light, when the glory of the team group was about to come, Seo Tae-chi and the children happened to appear and quickly occupied the market in the Korean music scene in that special period.
But in less than a few years, with the general trend of team combinations in 1995, although Xu Taizhi and his children were also very powerful, when the era of team combinations came, it turned out that it was difficult for free agents like Xu Taizhi and his children to continue to survive in the music industry without the support and escort of the agency. So, in the second year, that is, in 1996, Xu Taixiao and his children announced their retirement.
To put it bluntly, it is the arrival of the times. A combination like Xu Taizhi and his children without the support of an agency has completely lost its competitiveness in the entertainment industry. In other words, Xu Taizhi and his children are in a special era. If Xu Taizhi and his children debuted until 1995, it would be a big deal.
If he debuted after 2000, the general trend of team combinations had completely risen. Under that circumstances, it is estimated that the free agents of Xu Taizhi and his children who did not have the support and protection of the agency would not be able to survive in the Korean music industry, let alone become famous.
Not to mention Seo Tae-ji and the children, even Kim Yu-fan would not do it. If Kim Yu-fan had no full support from the DSP agency at that time, even if Kim Yu-fan had outstanding talents, it would be useless and would not be able to survive in the music industry.
The reason is very simple, that is, the reason for the interests. The more you are, the bigger the market you are seizing, and the interests of other brokerage companies will naturally decrease. In this case, how can other brokerage companies be polite to you? If you have a strong brokerage company behind you, then forget it, but once you are not escorted by the brokerage company, and you are a free agent, you are very popular and have seized many markets. In this case, major brokerage companies do not need to be ventilated, and they will deal with you at the same time and completely kick you out of the music industry. There is nothing to discuss, just for the sake of profit.
Therefore, BigBang has such a problem and an accident. The two parties involved, G-Dragon and Dacheng, must withstand the pressure. More importantly, the key now depends on the YG agency behind BigBang, and how Yang Xianshuo's attitude and reaction are.
However, in general, BigBang is currently greatly affected, but not fatal. Yang Xianshuo is a smart person. BigBang is currently the pillar of YG and an existence that 2NE1 cannot surpass. Whether it is feelings or interests, Yang Xianshuo will do his best to protect BigBang.
As long as YG brokerage firms fully protect BigBang, even though BigBang will be greatly affected now, it will not be disbanded. However, these two things have a great impact. At least in a short period of time, or one or two years, it will take a year or two to gradually eliminate the impact of these two things on BigBang. This also means that in one or two years, BigBang members will probably develop solo, and at least BigBang will not return collectively.
After all, BigBang's popularity and influence are all there, which represents huge commercial value. As long as it is popular, YG agency will not give up BigBang. Even if Yang Xianshuo has strong dissatisfaction with BigBang, because of BigBang's popularity and seeing that BigBang can make a lot of money for the company, Yang Xianshuo will also choose to remain silent and will not really deal with BigBang.
Similarly, once BigBang has passed its peak period, its popularity declines and its popularity is no longer there, even if Yang Xianshuo has the best relationship with BigBang members, he will decisively abandon BigBang.
Of course, abandonment here does not mean disbanding BigBang, but will greatly reduce resources and support. Without the support of the company and sufficient resources, BigBang will definitely have a difficult life. Even if G-Dragon has outstanding talent and has always maintained BigBang for creating good songs, YG brokerage is of course happy. After all, it does not require any resources and does not require much help. It can also make money for the company, which is naturally a good thing.
But once BigBang can't stand it, its popularity will eventually get lower and lower, and slowly disappear from the public's sight. This is also expected by YG brokerage. Moreover, BigBang's own decline is not because YG brokerage company forced to dissolve BigBang, and fans can't blame YG brokerage company, right?
"Don't worry, at least for the time being, YG will not give up on you BigBang, and so will Yang Xianshuo. Even if President Yang Xianshuo has many dissatisfactions with you BigBang now, as long as you are popular and can continue to bring huge benefits to the company, then YG brokerage will not sit idly by and watch out for you BigBang, but will try your best to protect you BigBang."
After hearing Kim Yu-fan's words, Dacheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "By the same, if our BigBang popularity is no longer available, then we will become dispensable small characters, and the company will give up on us without hesitation and spend our energy and time on our younger generations."
Dacheng is not a newcomer who has just debuted. He has long been very familiar with this kind of thing and is very familiar with it. After all, to put it bluntly, every newcomer who debuts is actually seizing the resources of his seniors in the company, and even debuting directly on the body of his seniors in the company.
Not to mention anything else, even BigBang is actually not a big Bang debut on Se7en's body. Although BigBang doesn't want this, BigBang's debut has greatly reduced the resources that Se7en can obtain. It has gradually become insignificant in YG's ace and number one brother, completely surpassed by BigBang, covered by BigBang's light, and then completely declined.
Feeling Dacheng's loss, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This is nothing, this is normal, after all, this is reality. The Korean music market is so big, and there are so many agency companies. There are no such resources in the agency that can support many singers to develop at the same time. Your BigBang debuted and seized Se7en's resources and company support. Similarly, I also seized the resources of Crystal Boy and Fin.K.L when I debuted. Dongfang Shenqi also grabbed the resources of HOT, SES and mythology. When I was still in DSP, SS501 debuted, and also seized my resources. This is normal. Although it is cruel, this is reality. There is nothing strange about it."
Dacheng didn't say anything, but just roasted the meat, and occasionally cut the roasted meat on a plate to make it easier for Kim Yu-fan to eat.
An hour later, under the guidance of Kim Yu-fan's domineering guidance, Dae-sung also figured out a lot. Finally, the two walked out of the restaurant, Kim Yu-fan continued to return to Seoul, while Dae-sung continued to embark on the road to seeking spiritual liberation.
Back in Seoul, Kim Yu-hwan continued to invest in the filming of "The Thieves' Alliance". As the plot not only progressed, everyone became more and more familiar with the role they played, so before they knew it, the speed became faster and faster.
At the current speed, Kim Yu-fan is also sure that if he continues to film at the current speed, "The Thieves Alliance" may be released at the end of the year.
When the thought of "The Thieves Alliance" as soon as it was released, it caused a crazy box office and completely ignited the box office market. At that time, as "The Thieves Alliance" quickly set new records again and again, the box office exceeded the tens of millions of visitors, and if it might even reach the 15 million visitors, Kim Yu-hwan will completely become a master in the Korean director world.
After all, directors are different from singers and actors. Singers need to keep moving and publishing works to maintain their popularity. Actors don’t need to work so hard. Just shoot a few classic movies and play several classic characters to prove it.
The easiest thing is the director, especially in the Korean director world. You only need to shoot a classic movie, or it is a movie with high box office, so you can prove it.
Isn't this the case with director Kang Di-gyu? With the success of "The Life and Death Transformation", he completely proved a movie and became the top Korean and well-deserved master in the directorial industry.
As for the success of "The Tai Chi Flag Flying", strictly counting it, it is not as good as the movie "The Life and Death Transformation" that has brought to director Jiang Digui.
With the tens of millions of viewers in "Sunshine Sisters" this time, Kim Yu-hwan's "Rogue of Thieves" is at least tens of millions of viewers. With these two movies, Kim Yu-hwan will definitely become the top director in South Korea in the Korean director industry in the future, in the minds of all film agencies, film production companies, and actors.
Just as Kim Yu-hwan was still thinking that with the release of "The Thieves Alliance", it is likely to reach a terrifying achievement of 15 million viewers. At that time, it will shock the entire Korean entertainment industry and the directors and actors of Chung-woo, an unexpected call will immediately shock Kim Yu-hwan.
The phone call was called by Park Gyu-li. As for the meaning, it was very simple. That is, Park Gyu-li represented all members of Kara and strongly demanded to return to South Korea and return to the Korean music scene.
As for the reason, it was because of the battle between WonderGirls and Girls' Generation some time ago. The battle between WonderGirls and Girls' Generation made the whole South Korea watch a blockbuster movie. Kara, also recognized as one of the three top girls' groups in the Korean music industry, did not appear in this battle, which made many people, even Kara himself, feel very regretful.
More importantly, the battle between WonderGirls and Girls' Generation this time allows people to see the absolute strength of WonderGirls, and see that WonderGirls did not slowly decline as everyone imagined, but instead blossomed with stronger vitality.
Seeing this situation, Kara naturally couldn't sit still. Girls' Generation is already very strong now, and with the strong recovery of WonderGilrs, if Kara continues to stay in Japan at this time, then the Korean music scene, especially the market in the girl group, will be completely divided by WonderGirls and Girls' Generation, and then there will be no place for Kara to gain a foothold.
Well~~~ All of this is what Park Gyu-ri means. However, Kim Yu-bun understands it very well. It is probably because he saw the battle between WonderGirls and Girls' Generation, which made Kara feel excited and couldn't sit still and wanted to participate.
More importantly, Kara, as the first girl group in Korea, is one of the top three girls nowadays, also has its own pride and dignity. Especially when she saw the battle between WonderGirls and Girls' Generation, the entire Korean music scene was news about WonderGirls and Girls' Generation for a while. Kara seemed to have been forgotten, and it probably caused Kara's strong dissatisfaction.
Because of this, Kara now strongly demands that she hopes to return to Korea and return to the music scene as soon as possible, and proves Kara's existence with her own practical actions, telling everyone that there are only WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation in her eyes. In addition to WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation, we Kara are also here.
More importantly, Kara wants to tell everyone that we are no worse than WonderGilrs and Girls’ Generation, no matter which aspect!
"OPPA, let us Kara come back." Park Gyu-ri's plea came from the phone: "Now, the entire Korean music scene is full of competition between WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation. It seems that there is no third girl group in the Korean music scene except WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation. This is something we absolutely cannot tolerate."
"That's right!" Almost at the same time, Kim Yu-bun also heard the voices of Han Seung-yeon, Goo Hara and others from the phone. It was obvious that Kara and the other two were very exciting about this incident between Wonder Gilrs and Girls' Generation. The small universe had already started to burn and had been burning for a long time.
"Whether it is for our Kara's self-esteem and honor, or to stabilize our Kara's market in South Korea, we must come back at this time. There is no way. Although we are not convinced, we have to admit that WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation are both very powerful opponents. We have completely demonstrated our strength in the Korean music industry during this period. In this case, if Kara does not return to Korea and stabilize our fans, we will probably be snatched away by WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation by then."
Listening to Park Gyu-ri's words, Kim Yu-fan was amused and crying: "Okay, OK, I understand. But Gyu-ri, you should also know that this matter is not my final decision. Things like the company are all final. Although I am the president, I will not interfere too much in any decision of Brother Seung-sung. This is what I promised Brother Seung before. The only thing I can do now is to tell Brother Seung about your thoughts and worries. I believe that with Brother Seung's experience and personality, I will definitely not ignore it. There is a great possibility that you Kara will return."
"Tsk~~~ Of course we know that in fact, we just hope that OPPA can say good things to us, and we don't really expect OPPA to help us get back." Nicole's outspoken voice came from the phone, but Nicole's outspokenness was right now. Why is it so bad that it sounds a bit sarcastic?
"OPPA, that's it. I hope you can persuade Azashi as soon as possible. We Kara is waiting for your good news in the distant Japan, so let's go first."
After Park Gyuli finished speaking, he heard Park Gyuli screaming "Ah", and then the shouts of others. And experience could clearly hear Nicole's screams. It is estimated that Park Gyuli and others are now "taught" Nicole.
But soon, Park Gyu-li would hang up the phone, and Kim Yu-fan could no longer hear any sound. He could only put his phone on the table with a wry smile, sit quietly on the chair, thinking about the words of Park Gyu-li and others in his heart.
Yes, the competition between WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation some time ago seemed to have made only two girl groups, WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation, and everyone seemed to have forgotten that in addition to WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation, there is also Kara, who was once the No. 1 girl group in Korea and is now one of the three largest girl groups in Korea.
In fact, Kim Yu-fan's personality is also very stubborn and unyielding. After thinking for a while, Kim Yu-fan already made a decision in his heart: "S?M, JYP, you had a great time ago, and now it's almost my turn. Don't think that the Korean girl group is really only WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation. Our Kara is no worse than WonderGilrs and Girls' Generation."
Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan didn't hesitate and stood up and walked towards the crew's shooting scene. Although he had made a decision in his heart, he was not in a hurry. He should make a good movie for the time being. After today's shooting is over, Kim Yu-fan will go to find Hong Seung-sung and tell Hong Seung-sung about this matter and his own meaning.
