Chapter 2424 S`M Company New Year's Plan
Kim Yu-fan's popularity and influence in South Korea are beyond doubt. In addition, Kim Yu-fan is either developing overseas or staying at home or in a company, and rarely appears in person. This time, he has the chance to meet Kim Yu-fan and an actress for dinner. There is nothing to say about such good news, and he must report it crazy.
As Tang Wei said, Kim Yu-fan inadvertently mentioned the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul", which immediately became the most concerned movie of the media and Korean movie fans, no doubt about it.
Well, even if the powerful media found out that the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul" was just a low-cost romance film, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as Kim Yu-fan participates, the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul" is worth looking forward to.
Not to mention, in the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul", Kim Yu-hwan is not only the male lead, but also serves as the screenwriter and director of the movie. He has once again gathered in three-in-one careers. This is completely the mode of the "Twilight" movie series. How can Korean movie fans not expect it?
Therefore, in recent days, the news in South Korea has been dominated by Kim Yu-fan and Tang Wei. At the same time, the news about the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul" has also become a hot search and has played a very good publicity role and effect.
This also made movie fans look forward to it and couldn't wait to see Kim Yu-fan's new movie be released earlier. As for the movie is a niche romance film, it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as it is Kim Yu-fan's movie.
At this moment, Kim Yu-fan's personal popularity and influence completely broke the limitations of movie themes, allowing niche romance films to surpass popular movie themes such as action, which is something Kim Yu-fan can do.
However, this doesn't matter what Kim Yu-hwan is. Kim Yu-hwan has been like this since his debut. He basically doesn't care about or consider the reactions of the media. He will not take the initiative to commit evil or offend the media, but he will not take the initiative to cooperate with the media and even flatter the media like other artists and agency companies.
No matter how the media outside promote it, Kim Yu-fan and Tang Wei returned to the crew of "Beijing Meets Seoul" and began to continue shooting the remaining shots. The fans and media who came to the crew every day were also stopped by the staff who were waiting and the H security guards.
Although the crew had been on the rest for three days, because the crew was basically MC employees, they had long been accustomed to Kim Yu-fan's shooting mode and rhythm. After the three-day holiday, everyone's physical strength and energy were fully recovered and they devoted themselves to the shooting with a fuller mental state. The speed did not decrease at all, and it was even a few minutes faster than before the holiday.
In response to this, Tang Wei couldn't help but complain to Kim Yu-fan while she was resting. At this shooting speed, it would take about a week to finish the shooting. It was completely different from the original ten days. She would have a few days less than the Zhejiang cuisine.
Well, what else can Kim Yu-fan say? Regarding the issue of goddess being a foodie, Kim Yu-fan is really inconvenient to make his own remarks, and he does not have the right to say anything. After all, this is a woman's privilege.
When the crew of "Beijing Meets Seoul" was still filming in a tense and orderly manner, the Korean entertainment industry also began to become active. After the Spring Festival, the new year is about to begin, whether it is an agency or an artist, they must start preparing for the new year plan.
Especially for top agency companies and top artists, after the Spring Festival every year, there is a lot of preparation work. Whether to return to the music industry, when to return, what method to return, overseas markets must also go, where to go, how many times to go, how long to go, etc. Also, actors will not be idle. This year, they will shoot TV series or movies, or film together, and strive to win a more substantial award. Advertising endorsement is almost confirmed now...
In short, after the Spring Festival, there will be a short period of time for a week at most. Whether it is an agency or an artist, it will take several days to a week to determine your development direction and plan in 2014.
Especially for major brokerage companies, how can we maximize our own profits in 2014? This requires detailed planning and sufficient time to prepare.
The first is S`M Company. Although S`M Company is now surpassed and suppressed by MC Company, it is undeniable that S`M Company's status and influence in the Korean music industry, including strength and competitiveness, are beyond doubt.
Even because it is simpler to lament development, rather than developing in the music and film and television circles like MC Company, S`M Company has no influence in the music industry than MC Company. It can only be said that its overall strength is far inferior to MC Company.
To put it bluntly, everyone knows that MC companies are awesome and stronger than S`M companies. This is an indisputable fact. However, in the music industry, S`M companies' influence is not worse than MC companies, and even if it is worse, it is not much worse. Unless MC's Kim Yu-hwan returns to the music industry, there is nothing to say. When Kim Yu-hwan didn't return to the music industry, MC's influence and popularity in the Korean music industry were not worse than MC companies.
At this time, in the office of the president of S`M Company, Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man, the old enemy, had to sit together again to discuss S`M Company's development plan in 2014.
"At present, Dongfang Shenqi has released the commemorative album "Tense" for the tenth anniversary of his debut. The main song "Something" has also won the championship of four music and ballad programs, and the effect is very good. The album sales have also won the championship of record sales for two consecutive weeks. From this point of view, Dongfang Shenqi is still very successful. Even if it has been greatly affected by the disintegration, Dongfang Shenqi is Dongfang Shenqi. Even if there are only two people left now, it is Dongfang Shenqi, and it has the support of hundreds of thousands of fans. Compared with the current singers in the music industry, no one can compare with Dongfang Shenqi except the monster Kim Yu-fan."
Li Xiuman said proudly, Dongfang Shenqi, as a boy group who is carefully trained by Li Xiuman and plans to achieve greater success on the basis of HOT success, Dongfang Shenqi has indeed achieved unprecedented success, and has developed the limits of Korean boy group to the extreme. It is probably also an existence that no one can surpass in the future.
Even if the departure of JYJ and the other two led to the disintegration of Dongfang Shenqi, and their popularity and strength were hit hard, Dongfang Shenqi was still Dongfang Shenqi. Now the hundreds of thousands of fans are not joking, and it can still allow Dongfang Shenqi to continue to maintain strong competitiveness and influence.
That's right, with the disintegration of JYJ, the members have grown older and are about to serve in the military. They have already begun to slowly decline during their peak period. This is an indisputable fact.
But Dongfang Shenqi is Dongfang Shenqi after all. Even if he encounters these huge blows and troubles, the 800,000 official fans have a strong foundation and a solid foundation. Even if it is going downhill, it is enough for Dongfang Shenqi to continue to persist for several years.
In fact, since 2010, the two Dongfang Shenqi has continued to be in the Korean and Japanese music industry with their previous capital, and is no worse than any top combination. Although they have been on a downward trend, their capital is too strong and this downward trend has been going on for too long. It took a full five years until Yunho and Changmin officially joined the army in 2015.
At that time, it was still a matter of age. Otherwise, given the situation of Dongfang Shenqi at that time, it would be enough to last for another two or three years, which would be enough to ensure that Dongfang Shenqi is the top group. However, Dongfang Shenqi was so old that he had to serve and could not be postponed, so he went to serve, which completely stopped the group activities of Dongfang Shenqi.
Damn, 800,000 official fans, this foundation is too strong, and it is definitely an unprecedented number in the Korean music scene. Unfortunately, Kim Yu-fan emerged, which not only broke the official number of 800,000 fans of Oriental Shenqi, but also raised this number to 1.1 million.
Well, even so, it doesn’t hide the fact that Dongfang Shenqi is the first group in Korea, or even the most successful boy group, no doubt about it.
Speaking of Dongfang Shenqi, although Li Xiuman was very embarrassed because of the departure of JYJ and the other two, it also made Li Xiuman very proud and proud because of Dongfang Shenqi's great success.
At least, I insist on creating a more comprehensive and powerful boy group than HOT. What I have done is that even now, Dongfang Shenqi is still the pride of his family, and he can still show off in front of Kim Young-min.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuman smiled and continued: "In early February, Dongfang Shenqi will release a Japanese single in Japan as planned, and then the seventh Japanese album, followed by a Japanese tour. The end of the year will be determined according to the situation. If it is suitable, the eighth Japanese album will be released directly, and there will be a world tour for Dongfang Shenqi's tenth anniversary debut."
Speaking of this, Lee Soo-man leaned against the chair and looked at Kim Young-min with a calm expression, "Yes, Dongfang Shenqi is now on a downward trend, but so what? There is definitely no problem with Dongfang Shenqi's background in at least five years, and he can continue to ensure his competitiveness and strength. Especially in Japan, as a combination of developing the Japanese market with BOA, Dongfang Shenqi's popularity and influence in Japan are not small at all. You are also very clear about the money you have earned in Japan in the past few years, and it will not be worse than Dongfang Shenqi in the five-man period."
Lee Soo-man insists that boys are the mainstream, so Kim Young-min is naturally a supporter of the girl group. He looked calm, but in fact he knew very well that Lee Soo-man was showing off to him. Kim Young-min couldn't help laughing: "Dongfang Shenqi is really good, he has made a lot of money for the company, but Girls' Generation is not bad either. I admit that Dongfang Shenqi is the best male team group in the Korean music industry, and it is even the ultimate male group, but Girls' Generation is not bad at all. Director Lee Soo-man should also know that Girls' Generation has now developed to the limit of a girl team group, and is still developing constantly, continuing to move forward instead of going downhill."
"Girls Generation will participate in the Winter Olympics, and even the Girls Generation concert will appear on the eight-minute display video of Pyeongchang, South Korea's closing ceremony. This is a great honor. Not only that, Girls Generation will release its fourth mini album in February, and it will also develop in Japan. Girls Generation's team will also develop, and will hold concerts at the Tokyo Dome at the end of the year. Oh, I don't know much about the specifics. After all, I am the president. The company has too many plans and things to deal with in the new year, so I don't know much. Teacher, you are the artist director, so you should know better than me in this regard."
Li Xiuman sneered. Of course, Li Xiuman knew about the situation of Girls' Generation and the plans for 2014, and that was nothing.
Because Li Xiuman also admitted that Girls' Generation is indeed very amazing and rare. Under such a difficult situation, it completely exploded, thus becoming the top girl group today. It has not even slowed down and continues to move forward. It is almost like Dongfang Shenqi, and it seems that it also wants to leave a record for the ultimate limit of the girl group for the younger girl groups that is difficult to reach.
Nothing is wrong. Girls' Generation has developed well, which is also a good thing for S`M company, not to mention that Girls' Generation has its own niece Sunny in the team. Li Xiuman really doesn't care whether Girls' Generation is developing well. This is also the reason why Li Xiuman did not take action against Girls' Generation after the outbreak of Girls' Generation.
If it weren't for Sunny's reason that Girls' Generation had exploded, and seeing that the situation was wrong, Lee Soo-man could have suppressed Girls' Generation. Not to mention that other Yu Yongjin is from Lee Soo-man, Yoo-jin will cooperate with Lee Soo-man and not give songs suitable for Girls' Generation, nor will Girls' Generation and Kim Young-min be allowed to find songs for Girls' Generation outside. In that case, even if Girls' Generation has no suitable songs later, they will soon run out of energy and completely lose their way.
However, Kim Young-min's last sentence really made Lee Soo-man unhappy. He knew that you were the president and what was so proud of you? And your sentence I am the artist director, I should know more clearly what it means. What you mean is that I am your subordinate. You don't need to care about these things, you just need to leave them to me, a subordinate to take care of them.
In terms of position, the artist director is indeed at the first level than the president, and he is considered a subordinate of the president. However, the president, Kim Young-min, really doesn't dare to instruct Lee Soo-man, the artist director, and even if he really speaks, Lee Soo-man, the artist director, will never give Kim Young-min any face.
Lee Soo-man smiled and said disdainfully: "Super Junior has many plans for 2014. In early February, according to the previous determination, the four children, Lee Sung-min, Eun Hyuk and Choi Si-won, will serve as special lecturers at the Korean Congress Hall, which is an honor that has not been moved. The seventh Korean regular album will be released in the second half of the year, and the world tour will be held from September to October. If the situation is good, you can release the seventh Korean reprint album, and the sixth Japanese single album will be released at the end of the year. In short, it is also very busy!"
Kim Young-min's face changed, and then he smiled and said, "Yes, Super Junior is also great, but EXO is not bad either. It is no exaggeration to say that it is now the trend of EXO and the world. EXO's first album "XOXO" has a sales result of one million yuan. This is basically the first time that the Korean music industry has entered 2000, especially after 2005.
Although EXO is also a boy group, after all, it is basically Kim Young-min who joined S`M company as a trainee after he came on stage. Because Kim Young-min serves as the president of the company, in some ways, EXO is also half of Kim Young-min's, and also half of Lee Soo-man's.
However, now Kim Young-min mentioned EXO first. At this time, even if EXO is Kim Young-min's person, Lee Soo-man will not be able to compete with Kim Young-min for whom EXO has cultivated such a boring debate.
Although Lee Sooman, who has always insisted on the boy group, EXO definitely has half of Lee Sooman's contribution, and most of it is even attributed to Lee Sooman's careful training, Lee Sooman also has his own arrogance. Since you, Kim Young-min, mentioned EXO first, I don't care if EXO is being trained for the time being. I won't just hold on to a group and clamor for me that this is what I trained and my credit.
Of course, although Lee Soo-man didn't care, he was very upset when he saw Kim Young-min's proud look. Since he was unhappy, he would definitely not bear it. So Lee Soo-man sarcastically said: "Yes, EXO's album sales of millions this time are really good, but you seem to have forgotten that there is a person that can never be avoided in the Korean music industry, that is Kim Yu-fan. EXO's millions album sales are indeed excellent, but can it be compared with Kim Yu-fan!"
Kim Young-min's face changed. To talk about the success of Girls' Generation or even the general trend of EXO, these are enough to make Kim Young-min proud, but whether it is Kim Young-min, the media, or even the entire Korean people know that everything is based on the premise that Kim Yu-fan has not returned to the music scene.
Once Kim Yu-hwan returns to the music scene, I’m sorry, no matter what Girls’ Generation or EXO you are, it’s useless. They are all the supporting roles. There is only one protagonist, that is Kim Yu-hwan, and he can only be Kim Yu-hwan.
EXO's million-dollar album is indeed awesome, but it's nothing in front of Kim Yu-hwan. Because since Kim Yu-hwan founded his own company, his fourth album "Starlight" has achieved a terrifying 1.7 million copies of the sales. The English single "Someone Like You" released in the United States has been slaughtered on the Korean audio source chart, firmly occupying the first place. From the second place to 31, the combined audio source is not as good as the song "Someone Like You", and it is even worse. Unless the 32nd place sound source is added, it can surpass the sound source of "Someone Like You".
As Korean media and many musicians say, Kim Yu-hwan is a miracle and an accident. No one can compare with Kim Yu-hwan, otherwise you will only hurt your self-esteem and doubt your life.
Therefore, Kim Yu-hwan has now become the most special person in the Korean entertainment industry. Everyone has never considered Kim Yu-hwan in various selections, because everyone knows that once Kim Yu-hwan is considered, there is nothing like that. It must be Kim Yu-hwan first.
Chapter completed!
