Chapter 1725 Reminder
Faced with Hong Seung-sung's inquiry, Kim Yu-fan was silent, knowing that he had indeed not made any noise in the music industry for a long time, which made Kim Yu-fan not know how to answer Hong Seung-sung's words for a while.
Seeing Kim Yu-hwan's expression, Hong Seung-sung also knew that Kim Yu-hwan understood it, and Hong Seung-sung was also very helpless about it.
Hong Seung-sung admires and supports Kim Yu-hwan because there is no movement in the music industry, but this does not mean that Kim Yu-hwan has nothing to do and is hiding himself. On the contrary, the rapid development of the variety show department and film and television department of the MC worker is all due to the result of Kim Yu-hwan's efforts in the past two years.
As the president of MC, Hong Seung-sung naturally saw this. He understood more than anyone else and knew Kim Yu-fan’s efforts over the past two years.
Secondly, Hong Seung-sung also knows that there are too many artist groups under McC, and Kim Yu-fan's identity and status, including influence, are there. If Kim Yu-fan returns to the Korean music scene, then there is no doubt that McC will definitely put out most of its resources to support Kim Yu-fan's return to the music scene. This is undoubtedly.
After all, Kim Yu-fan's identity and status are there, especially in the Korean music scene. Kim Yu-fan has been a myth since his debut and has never failed. It used to be like that, but now he has become the president of McC and has a huge agency. There is no reason why Kim Yu-fan will fail in the music scene with more resources now.
Not to mention that Kim Yu-hwan doesn’t allow it, even if Kim Yu-hwan allows it, Hong Seung-sung doesn’t allow it, McC company doesn’t allow it, the huge millions of stars, and even many media don’t allow it.
Because I don’t know when, Kim Yu-hwan has become a miracle in the music industry and a symbol of eternal success. This can basically be called a reputation and brand. In order to maintain Kim Yu-hwan’s reputation and brand, as long as Kim Yu-hwan returns to the music industry, the mc company will naturally do its best and will never let Kim Yu-hwan fail in the music industry because of the mc company.
Not to mention failure, for people like Kim Yu-fan, who have an identity and status, the return to the music scene is average or better, but in fact, even if it is a failure, there is no doubt that this is unquestionable.
Identity and status have brought countless attention and glory to Kim Yu-hwan, but it is not a huge pressure. If other singers return to the music scene and have good grades, it would be OK, but Kim Yu-hwan is not. Kim Yu-hwan's identity and status are destined. As long as Kim Yu-hwan returns to the music scene, if he cannot reach the level of sweep and dominates the Korean music scene during the publicity period, it is a failure.
It is precisely because of this that Kim Yu-hwan temporarily stopped returning to the music scene. First of all, he focused his main time and energy on variety shows and film and television. Secondly, he did not return to the music scene himself. Then mc's resources can also be given to mc's artist group, which can allow mc's artist group to obtain more resources and develop better.
You should know that because there are too many artists under MC, Kara has developed in Japan most of the time, and Missa has also begun to enter China. After all, the McC company does not have enough resources and the Korean market is too small.
Even Kara and Missa have to give way to the company's overall artist development model and plan and give up resources, let alone Kim Yu-fan. After all, once Kim Yu-fan returns to the Korean music scene, it is estimated that McC's artists and groups will give way to Kim Yu-fan and have a temporary rest.
But this time, Hong Seung-sung still planned to mention this matter with Kim Yu-hwan, and did not ask Kim Yu-hwan to return to the Korean music scene immediately, but at least he had to let Kim Yu-hwan release a single to satisfy the expectations of Kim Yu-hwan's countless fans. After all, it has been more than two years, and it is almost three years soon. After such a long time, there is no movement in the music scene, which is unprecedented in the Korean music scene.
This is also Kim Yu-fan, with huge popularity and influence, and his great success in variety shows and film and television circles, he can continue to maintain his popularity. If it were other singers, there would be no movement in the music industry for two or three years. Even if he succeeded in the music industry and then switched to other fields to achieve great success, but if there was no movement in the music industry for two or three years, he would definitely be forgotten by fans.
Korean male artists went to the military service for only two years, which made the artists feel disgusted because they were not active for two years and had no news about themselves. According to the fierce competition in the Korean entertainment industry, they would be completely forgotten by fans. Originally, first-line artists could only become second-line artists, or even third-line artists after they were discharged from the military. Moreover, the market left by the two-year gap period was stolen by others. It is difficult to get up again when they continue to make a comeback at this time.
Kim Jong Kook, the strong treble champion, was like this, let alone others. Kim Jong Kook won the treble champion in the first place, which was definitely the best, but even so was useless. After retiring from the army, Kim Jong Kook, who was the best two years ago, was almost forgotten by fans. Kim Jong Kook, who had a treble champion two years ago, had definitely had a hard time during that time.
Fortunately, Kim Jong Kook was lucky, and with the help of Yoo Jae-suk and others, he finally rose again with the two variety shows "Birth of Family" and "Ning Man". Otherwise, Kim Jong Kook's triple crown would not be an honor, but was ended by a tragic ending. A triple crown would completely decline and disappear in two or three years.
As for why Kim Jong Kook rose in variety shows, rather than in music, it is very simple. Two years are enough to allow countless outstanding and competitive juniors to seize the market. After Kim Jong Kook retired from the army, the market was gone and he could not rise at all. He could only find ways in other fields, and finally chose variety shows. Fortunately, Kim Jong Kook's choice was right and he was successful in the end.
Even Kim Jong Kook, who is the treble champion, is not to mention anything else. With the situation in the Korean entertainment industry, especially in the music industry, there is no news for two years and will definitely be forgotten by everyone.
This is also because of Kim Yu-hwan's special identity and status, and his development in variety shows and film and television circles, he has always maintained his works. Otherwise, even if Kim Yu-hwan has not made any noise in the Korean music scene for two or three years, he will not be forgotten by the music scene and fans, at least in terms of popularity and influence, it will definitely decline a lot.
Looking at Kim Yu-fan who was silent, Hong Seung-sung couldn't help but sigh and continued, "Yu-fan, I'm the one who knows the best about your work. I'm not saying you're lazy, I just said that it's almost three years, three years! Now, it's almost time for you to focus on the music scene. Don't let the fans who have been waiting for you for three years be disappointed."
"You know, your fans are millions, but these million fans have at least seven levels and are all your fans. Because, after all, your first career is still a singer, and your fans and influence are mainly in the music industry."
Without giving Kim Yu-fan the opportunity to speak, Hong Seung-sung continued: "Let's talk about the Korean music scene, the release of albums and singles by singers. I won't talk about those who have no popularity or influence, I will talk about the situation of first-line singers and groups."
"Under normal circumstances, first-line singers and groups, unless they really go to film TV series, it takes time, and maybe not enough time, otherwise, basically there will be a mini album that will return to the music industry in the first half of the year. Of course, the basic model is to release regular albums in the first half of the year, prepare mini albums in the second half of the year, select the most popular songs from previous songs, and then find a few new songs. The quality may not be very good, but at least it will not be bad, forming a mini album for release."
"You also know that the purpose of doing this is to ensure that you are active in the music industry, ensure your appearance rate and publicity, so as not to be forgotten by fans."
"Even if there are members of the group who are filming TV series, unless they are really in a hurry, they often appear that members of the group shoot TV series and return to the group to prepare mini albums and practice dance with other members. This is normal in the Korean music scene."
"The second most important thing, such as second- and third-rate singers and combinations, basically guarantees the level of one mini album a year. Even if the company does not have so many resources and is not very popular, and does not need a mini album, at least one or two singles will be released in the year to promote that you are still in the music industry and a singer, so as not to forget yourself."
"After talking about others, let's talk about the situation of our mc company." Hong Shengcheng held his glasses and then stretched out a finger and continued: "There are so many artists under our mc company, and the resources are not enough, so Kara goes to Japan and m private sa goes to China to develop, which is the inevitable result. But even so, over the year, the singers under mc, whether they are solo or team groups, have plans for new albums or mini albums, and everyone takes turns to come. This is a must. Because only in this way can we ensure that our company's singers can continue to be active in the Korean music industry and continue to maintain their influence and popularity."
"So, it's not that I said Yufan, you are. It's almost three years since you haven't had any news in the music industry. I think you need to consider this matter carefully. According to your next work focus and plan, your main energy is still in the film and television industry and variety show industry, not in the music industry. Do you have to wait for four or five years before returning to the music industry? Four or five years, let alone Korea, even if you have any singer in the entertainment industry in any country in the world, you will probably be forgotten by everyone after four or five years. Even if you haven't forgotten by everyone, you will at least be forgotten by everyone's identity."
Speaking of this, Hong Seung-sung was also a little excited: "You released your fourth Korean album, with such good grades and great influence. Even from your fourth Korean album, you can see that you are very planning for you in music and know that you have reached the limit in Korean music. It is time to try to break through. Therefore, it is very rare for you to be a Korean music scene. You use the first major song of the album, such as "Lovetheway Seduction" as the album's first title."
"But it turns out that Yufan, you are really a musical genius. Although "Lovetheway Hot Lie" is an English song and a rap song, "Lovetheway Hot Lie" is indeed a classic song. Look at the good results of "Lovetheway Hot Lie", it's nothing to sweep it in South Korea. You guys release a new album, the first and second main song, which one has not swept the Korean music scene. But "Lovetheway Hot Lie" achieved the best results of No. 1 on the US Billboard, which is unprecedented in our Republic of Korea."
"At that time, you also knew that this was a good momentum, so you resolutely chose to enter the United States. I originally thought you would continue to work hard with the fame and momentum established by "Lovetheway Seduction", but in fact you did not disappoint all of us. After "Lovetheway Seduction", you released the English single "Onelike Seduction" in the United States, which is also a classic song. "Onelike Seduction" also won the first place in the US Billboard."
"In fact, with the two songs "Onelike Sex" and "Lovetheway Sex" you were a tenacious person in the European and American music market at that time, and you opened up the situation. When I thought you would continue to work hard to enter the American music market, I didn't expect that you would eventually enter Hollywood and start entering the Hollywood movie market."
Speaking of this, Hong Shengcheng couldn't help but sigh, and sighed with an expression of unpredictable world: "To be honest, if you hadn't been the core of the "Twilight" movie series and the "Twilight" movie series has achieved great success around the world, otherwise, I would have to fight with you. I wouldn't cherish such a good situation, but instead of making movies."
Kim Yu-fan smiled and said nothing. Indeed, with such a good opportunity, Kim Yu-fan did not invest in the Grammy. Instead, he went to Hollywood. Not to mention Hong Seung-sung, if anyone else was, he would probably not understand the practices and decisions, and he would even scold Kim Yu-fan.
But it turns out that Kim Yu-fan's decision was correct, with the conditions of a prophet. Kim Yu-fan knew how to make the most suitable and most favorable choice. Being the core and soul of the "Twilight" movie series is undoubtedly easier and easier than developing in the music industry.
Even if Kim Yu-fan can create many excellent English songs, it is useless if he does not have enough strong record company support and promotion. But movies are different. The great success of a movie, even if it is a huge success in business, can make you a newcomer a film actor who is concerned about the world. There is no doubt that it is.
What's more, Kim Yu-hwan chose "Twilight". This is not a movie, but a movie series. Therefore, the continuous success has created Kim Yu-hwan's identity as an international star. At least in terms of popularity and influence, Kim Yu-hwan is indeed an international star now.
Moreover, there are two movie series in the "Twilight" and Kim Yu-hwan can continue to consolidate and enhance his international popularity and influence with the remaining two sequels of "Twilight". This will undoubtedly be of great help to Kim Yu-hwan in the future.
In this regard, it is not comparable to Kim Yu-fan's efforts in the music market at the beginning. Unless Kim Yu-fan can become a god with an album, the popularity and popularity, including attention, will not be compared with the "Twilight" movie series.
Moreover, if you want to become a god, it is unlikely and unrealistic in Korea, let alone the United States. Especially in the United States, there is an xenophobic factor. It is even more impossible for Kim Yu-fan to become a god with an album.
Moreover, the so-called "Founding God" must be based on a certain foundation, or you are already very awesome and have a very stable foundation, so the so-called "All" albums are completely fame. Otherwise, it would have never been said in the music industry that a new singer can be made to be a god with an album. That is unrealistic, at most it would be just a song to become famous.
Therefore, Kim Yu-fan chose the Hollywood movie path and the "Twilight" movie series. Now it turns out that Kim Yu-fan's choice is correct. At least, Kim Yu-fan has become the most popular and popular and popular male actor in the world in just a few years with the "Twilight" movie series. In other words, even if Kim Yu-fan works hard in the American music industry within a few years, the effect will definitely not be stronger than the effect brought by the "Twilight" movie series.
But then again, as Hong Seung-sung said, Kim Yu-hwan has indeed made a lot of fame in the English song market with the two songs "Lovetheway Seduction" and "Onelike Seduction", and laid a strong foundation. Unfortunately, no new music works have appeared in the past few years, and the foundation at that time has also been covered with a very thick dust.
The only thing that makes Kim Yu-fan feel thankful is that neither "Sexy Onelike" or "Lovetheway Seduction" are absolute classic songs. Although Kim Yu-fan has not sung for several years, everyone has almost forgotten it now, but these two songs are classic songs after all, and they both caused a sensation. Now that Kim Yu-fan takes out these two songs, he can also achieve good results.
Of course, the premise is that relying solely on the two old songs "Lovetheway" and "Sexy Onelike" is not enough. Kim Yu-fan also has to come up with a suitable new song, which is equally high-quality.
