Chapter 1404 Myth's Ambition
"Hey~ It's a pity that our myth is a singer. If a singer has no new works, he will be completely eliminated by the music industry. There is nothing we can do about it, so we have prepared the tenth episode. In fact, if we can choose, we really just want to hold the "shinha14thannivearycor'thereturn'in" tour."
Li Minyu's speech made everyone shift the topic to the return of the mythology group this time. After listening to Li Minyu's words, the other members of the mythology group couldn't help it and had something to say in their hearts.
"Yes, after all, the situation is different now. We are all old. The music industry is the world of young people. No matter how hard we try, we will not be opponents of younger generations such as superjnuor and Gbang. We are not even as good as the three major girl groups like Girls Generation, Wondergirls and Kara. It is meaningless to return like this. But there is no way. We are still singers after all. It is really not possible to publish new music works. In desperation, we can only do this."
Shin Hye-sung also said helplessly, as if he was worried about the current situation in the music industry, especially the situation in the music industry after the return of the mythical group, especially the top super group in Korea before, but now he can only watch it being surpassed by his juniors. This feeling and taste is really a bit uncomfortable.
"Forget it, this is nothing. This is a normal thing. We just debuted like this." E Ri said calmly: "In fact, for our return this time, I didn't expect us to be the top group from the beginning. My meaning is very simple. Maintaining the status and level of the first-line group is enough. As long as we maintain the status and level of the first-line group, it will be of great help and benefits to our mythical group, and it will not even be worse than the juniors of the top group. After all, as long as we maintain a certain popularity and status, then my debut time and our qualifications will become the biggest weapon."
E Ri said seriously: "As long as our myth combination can maintain the level of first-line combination, it also means that our myth combination will always be the top combination in the Korean music industry. None of them."
After listening to Eri's words, Kim Yu-fan didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement with Eri's words. This is the most obvious thing. As long as the mythical group can remain in the ranks of first-class group in the Korean music industry, even if it is not as good as those top group, what does it matter?
You should know that the Mythical Group debuted in 1998. This generation may not be the largest in the current Korean music scene, but the Mythical Group is definitely the largest and well-deserved ancestor among the current Korean music scene.
Therefore, the mythical combination does not need to maintain the momentum of the top combination, and even if you have that idea, it cannot be maintained. After all, as old as you are, the fans who valued it back then have already gotten married and had children. When you become completely mature, you will not be as crazy as you were when you were young.
But it doesn't matter. After all, the qualifications and status of the myth combination are placed. As long as the myth combination maintains the level of the first-line combination, then when combined with the qualifications and status of the myth combination, any top-level combination must behave properly when seeing the myth combination. Not to mention whether seniors or seniors are, even if there is really a grudge to "rebel", the myth combination only needs to maintain the level of the first-line combination. Even if you are the top-level combination in the Korean music industry, it is useless, and you must also serve the myth combination well.
Of course, you must also reach the level of a first-line combination. No matter how old the seniority is, no matter how big the seniority is, it is useless if you don’t have popularity. It’s not as good as the seniority but not popularity. Otherwise, like the singers who debuted in the 1980s and 1990s, now they dare to ignore the top combinations in the new generation of the music industry, such as Oriental Godqi, forcing Gbang and Girls’ Generation, that would definitely be a death.
That’s right. Of course, these younger generations dare not say anything, but if you are not very good to these younger generations in normal times, don’t forget that the artists in the Korean entertainment industry all have their own fans. The existence of these fans is the best protective umbrella for artists in some ways.
Whether it is a TV station, an agency, or a senior in the entertainment industry, anyone who is not very good to a popular artist or even speaks a little rudely will be furiously revenge by the artist's fans and instantly transforms into the other party's anti-uni.
The most famous one is undoubtedly the fairy queen of the Eastern God. Of course, the superjunior fairies are also powerful, which caused the three consecutive Black Sea incidents when Girls' Generation debuted. If Kim Young-min had not had no choice and choice at that time, it would have been impossible for Girls' Generation to give up Girls' Generation, otherwise Girls' Generation would have been destroyed at the beginning.
Of course, the so-called level of maintaining the first-line group in the Korean music industry is actually very vague, but there are still several concepts. First, singles must enter the top five of major music charts, which is the most basic requirement. Secondly, once a new album or mini album is released, the minimum sales requirement is 100,000 copies.
One hundred thousand pictures looks like a lot, but in fact it is not a lot. Because in the Korean music scene, the sales of albums of real first-line combinations, relying on their own popularity, it is not an exaggeration to sell 100,000 albums.
In fact, the top combination can even reach the minimum 150,000 copies because of its higher popularity. Of course, these are the most conservative estimates. For example, the album "Oh" by Girls Generation sold more than 400,000 copies, which is definitely an exaggeration.
In fact, after the Internet has reached a certain level of influence and reduction in physical albums, its influence on physical album sales has become increasingly low. You should know that when Dongfang Shenqi first debuted, a singer or a group of new albums could sell more than 100,000 copies, which is a very good result. If it reaches a good sales of 150,000 copies, it will definitely be able to compete for the best album sales award at major awards ceremony at the end of the year, and it is possible to win this award at least nine levels.
All this shows that when Dongfang Shenqi first debuted, the sales of physical albums had dropped to a very pitiful level. The sales of one album was 150,000, which was already a very good result at that time. Even the Korean singers at that time were able to sell 50,000 copies in terms of album sales.
But afterwards, I don’t know if it was because of the new generation of Dongfang Shenqi, superjunior, ss501, gbang, 2pm, Girls’ Generation, Kara and Wondergirls, which made the second generation of the Korean music team. This also stimulated album sales.
In short, after the rise of Oriental God, physical album sales began to rise continuously, and top singers or combinations. The annual sales of a physical album with good quality reached hundreds of thousands of copies, and it gradually became normal.
Of course, this is naturally impossible to compare with the period when physical albums were at its peak in the 1990s. It was normal for an album to sell one or two million copies at that time. But although the hundreds of thousands of copies today cannot be compared with the 1990s, compared with the tens of thousands in the previous years, it is already a very good improvement.
In addition to album sales, of course, the main songs are indispensable. The main song radio program must win at least five times, which means that the three major TV stations and m-afterwards, one must win one in the second week.
Well, in Korea, there are many songs and charter programs, but they are often only counted as three major TV stations and m-4.
Finally, that is, the most important thing is the number of fans. The number of fans in the first-line group must be maintained at 150,000, which is the minimum requirement. The number of fans is less than 150,000, such as 100,000 to 140,000, which is a second-rate artist. 50,000 to 90,000 is a third-rate artist, and less than 50,000 is the worst. Of course, it is quite good in terms of titles, which is a newcomer. In short, it needs to work harder.
Of course. If the number of fans reaches 200,000, it can definitely be called the most popular person in the Korean music industry, and the number of fans with 200,000 can definitely be called the top artist in South Korea.
In the Korean music scene, the number of fans must reach 200,000. Except for the bug Kim Yu-fan, they are basically all groups. In terms of popularity, the team group is more likely to attract fans, which is not comparable to solo singers.
In fact, there are currently singers in the Korean music scene with the official number of fans reaching 200,000, except for Kim Yu-bang, only Dongfang Shenqi, forced Gbang and the crazy rising Girls' Generation, no other singer has achieved this.
Even superjunior and kara are still weaker in popularity, and have not reached 200,000 fans yet, so strictly, they cannot be called top-level combinations.
After all, South Korea has a population of 50 million, and the number of fans reaches 200,000, which is already a very terrifying number. This is not an ordinary fan, but an official fan, and he is definitely the most valued fan. If this is transferred to China, 200,000 is equivalent to 5.2 million fans.
What does this mean? It means that if you release an album, the sales of 5.2 million yuan is basically the most conservative estimate. Some fans have the conditions and abilities, and they will even buy more albums. This also means that these 5.2 million yuan fans can make your new album sales exceed the terrifying 5.5 million copies. What is this concept?
Don’t say that a fan buys an album, it’s not realistic. Yes, it’s not realistic in China, but it’s definitely a real thing in South Korea. You should know that the official fans of Korean artists are real fans. Every year, the membership fee alone has to be paid, and that is the real fans who will become official fans. If they are passers-by, who is willing to pay?
In this case, Korean fans have a lot of support for their favorite idols. For example, a new album is definitely a book for everyone. You should know that in South Korea, the agency will release new albums for its artists soon, and also formulate the first batch of albums based on the number of fans of the artists. This ensures that no accidents will occur and avoids the embarrassment of not being able to sell them if the album is too prepared.
Of course, this is only the first batch. If the album is of good quality and the singers promote it well, the album sales will naturally be very good. At that time, the second batch of albums and the third batch of albums will naturally keep up with you and buy them to deal with the purchases of fans.
If a mythical group wants to maintain its position as a first-line group in the music industry, it must achieve this. Of course, judging from the situation of mythical group, this is basically not a difficult task and is easy to do.
As long as the myth combination maintains the level of a first-line combination, then no top combination, as long as the juniors of the myth combination, dare not ignore the existence of the myth combination. After all, the identity and status of the myth combination are there.
As for the seniors in the music industry who are older than the mythical group and can keep up with their popularity, haha, sorry. I really haven't found it yet, and there is even no singer or team group who calls seniors to do this, especially if the popularity cannot keep up.
After all, it is the world of young people. It is really difficult and even impossible for older singers or groups to maintain their popularity at this time.
Of course, mythological combinations are different, so there is nothing to say about this. Who makes mythological combination the most special combination in the Korean music industry, no one.
In fact, even now, in the ranking of Korean music artists and fans, except for the monster Mythical Group, there are basically no group or solo singers in the remaining top 30. Most of the groups and artists made their debut after 2005. From 2000 to 2004, and the popularity is only Kim Yu-fan, Rain, Bo A and Epikhigh.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things. Now what do you do to say about these things? Drinking and drinking, these things are waiting for the "Shinha14thannivearycor'thereturn'in" tour, and then we will talk about them after the tenth episode." Jun raised his glass and looked at everyone and shrugged his shoulders.
"Haha, yes, no matter how much you say it now, it's useless. All of this will only be effective after our "shinha14thannivearycor'thereturn'in" tour and the tenth episode. But I personally think there is no big problem. You should know that we have a lot of fans now. At that time, with the "shinha14thannivearycor'thereturn'in" tour and the tenth episode double bomb explosion, I believe that the number of fans in our mythology group will definitely reach the front line. At that time, we will be OK if we work harder."
Shin Hye-sung smiled shyly and said indifferently. His tone felt like a simple choice whether to walk or take a car when going out. You must know that this is a first-line combination. Shin Hye-sung's current reaction and attitude, if the younger generations of An Xie see it, they will definitely be shocked.
"Yes, yes!" E Ri smiled: "Now it's time for a dinner and drinking. Our purpose is to get Yufan drunk. As for the "shinha14thannivearycor'thereturn'in" tour and the tenth episode, I'll talk about it at that time. Come on, Yufan, let's go."
Kim Yu-fan smiled, and without saying a word, he cried a glass with E Ri, and then drank the wine in the glass in one sip, which immediately aroused the cheers of Li Min-woo and the old ruffians.
After a few glasses of wine, and now without talking about work, the six people in the mythology group began to reveal their true colors. The e-day was better, and they continued to look at the people around them without saying a word, not knowing what conspiracy this big brother had to do. And Lee Min-woo and Jun were already used to the two of them being like gangsters more often, and they didn't look like an idol at all.
However, Shin Hye-sung and Andy, who usually feel very honest and quiet, have completely shown their prototypes at this time. They are not as honest as they are usually honest. On the contrary, they all become perverts, with their eyes glowing and listening to Kim Dong-wan's smirk and saying the female artists in the circle.
Well, at this moment, Kim Dongwan was no longer Kim Dongwan of the mythology group, but instantly became a female commentator, commenting on female artists in the Korean entertainment industry, from their figure, appearance, temperament, family background, grades, personality, etc., and then gave the female artist a score.
Not to mention, Kim Dong-wan really has a sense of a woman expert. Kim Yu-fan listened curiously as Kim Dong-wan commented on the female artists in the circle. Kim Yu-fan listened to it and found that what Kim Dong-wan said was really reasonable. He seemed to know this female artist very well and was not talking nonsense.
"Yufan, there are those female artists that cannot be said. Give me a list so that I will not be unhappy when I say it." Suddenly, Kim Dong-man thought of something and turned his head to ask Kim Yu-fan.
Kim Yu-fan: "All female artists under MC, Bo A and Jeon Ji-hyun are OK."
Kim Dong-wan: "No, are you and Bo A and Jeon Ji-hyun? There is something wrong with you!"
The other five people also surrounded him curiously, watching Kim Yu-fan become excited, looking forward to Kim Yu-fan's answer.
"You guess!" Kim Yu-fan said with a smile.
Kim Yu-fan didn't plan to tell the six people of the Mythology group. It was not that the six people had a bad relationship with Kim Yu-fan, nor did they say that the six people of the Mythology group were silly, but that these six people were really unreliable and liked to drink. Kim Yu-fan was afraid that these six people would make a mistake after drinking. Damn, I've had sex with me after drinking, so it would be normal to make a mistake after drinking (to be continued.)
