Chapter 2678 Program Invitation
Kim Yu-fan and Hong Seung-Chengdu couldn't help laughing secretly. T-ara did not develop well overseas, but now it has a high popularity and influence overseas. This is mainly because of the effects and influence brought by the Korean wave culture vigorously promoted and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
After all, T-ara is a singer, not an actor, and it is impossible for a TV series to sell copyright to overseas countries and broadcast it in overseas countries. It will naturally attract huge attention when the time comes.
As a singer, T-ara can do when she develops in Korea, all she can do is stand on the stage and perform seriously, that's all. Unless she really likes Korean music, or searches for Korean TV stations' song programs, or uses Korean variety shows, she will recognize T-ara members on the show, and then because of her curiosity, she will take the initiative to understand and gradually become a fan of T-ara.
But whether it is a TV station's song program or a variety show, the reason why overseas audiences are paid attention to is based on the influence of Korean pop culture.
If there was no Korean culture, like North Korea in the north, who would pay attention to you?
From this point of view, T-ara has not officially developed well overseas, but it has a considerable popularity and a large number of fans in Southeast Asian countries. All of this is based on the influence of Korean pop culture, and it can also be said to be based on the efforts of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. This is considered to be the credit of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
When I think of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department, I think of the way to deal with MC company, but MC's T-ara can still use the Korean wave culture that the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department vigorously promote and support, and have a huge popularity and influence overseas. Instead, I also helped T-ara and MC company.
I don’t know how the senior management of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department would feel like this result. I guess I feel very unhappy and uncomfortable.
Therefore, Kim Yu-fan and Hong Seung-sung couldn't help laughing at the senior executives of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Department. They had many ideas, but in the end they found that they were not suitable, and they helped MC unintentionally. This situation would definitely make the senior executives of the Cultural, Sports and Tourism Department feel very frustrated.
After laughing for a while, Hong Shengcheng continued: "So, with T-ara's success in reaching the top, of course, we must continue to hold a tour concert. This way, T-ara can make more money for the company due to the tour concert, expand T-ara's influence and commercial value in Southeast Asia, and bring more revenue to the company in the future."
"So, T-ara has successfully reached the top, and it is also true that she has held a tour concert, so that fans can feel more belonging. More importantly, in this process, it can also attract more people to become T-ara fans. After a round of the tour, T-ara will also get a lot of income from the tour concert. Secondly, there are more fans and greater influence, which is also beneficial to T-ara without any harm."
Looking at Kim Yu-fan nodding, Hong Seung-sung smiled and said, "At present, my idea is very simple, that is, I plan to have T-ara hold a concert in Seoul, then go to Busan to hold a concert, and then start a Southeast Asia tour, starting from Japan, then to Singapore, Thailand and China. Finally, I return to South Korea and continue to hold the last concert in Seoul to end T-ara's 2014 Asian tour."
"After this round, it is estimated that T-ara will hold similar market concerts. As for the specific concert venues, it will be up to the situation."
"Yes." Kim Yu-fan nodded: "I guess T-ara's main work in the second half of the year will be over after this round. After just ending the promotional period, he will not rush to continue preparing mini albums or new albums after a round of concerts. At that time, it will be the solo schedule of the members. It is estimated that at that time, it will be almost the end of the year. I believe that T-ara will become one of the most dazzling combinations of major music awards at the end of the year."
Hong Seung-sung nodded with a smile and said nothing. As for Kim Yu-hwan's saying that T-ara will become one of the most dazzling combinations, Hong Seung-sung also agreed with this.
It’s not that Kim Yu-hwan and Hong Seung-sung have no confidence in T-ara and do not want T-ara to become the most dazzling combination, no one. In fact, the two also know that this is impossible. The existence of EXO and BigBang is destined to not become the most dazzling combination. Even in addition to the boy group, there is also the existence of Girls’ Generation in front of T-ara.
As the Girls' Generation, which has basically developed to the extreme in the field of girl groups, unless Girls' Generation is committed to death, otherwise the No. 1 girl group in Korea will undoubtedly be Girls' Generation.
This is an indisputable fact. Even if T-ara is very strong, has great potential, and has a strong momentum to reach the top, it can only be on par with Girls' Generation at most, and it will definitely not be able to suppress Girls' Generation and surpass Girls' Generation.
At least, at least judging from the current situation of Girls' Generation, T-ara is probably unable to surpass Girls' Generation in a short period of time, that is, in a few years.
What a joke, Girls Generation's strength and strength are there. Unless Girls Generation is committed to death, otherwise T-ara will be strong and has great potential, but Girls Generation is ahead. As a challenger, even if MC company is fully supported and Kim Yu-fan is fully supported, it is basically impossible for T-ara to surpass Girls Generation in a short period of time.
This is also the so-called "fast step and not unhappy". Girls' Generation was completely successful in front of T-ara, becoming the well-deserved No. 1 girl group, and is still working hard, making progress, and becoming stronger. This is a huge difficulty for later followers. If you want to surpass Girls' Generation, on the premise that Girls' Generation is not committed to death, others want to catch up, in addition to maintaining a crazy rise, they must also be patient and slowly rely on time to narrow the distance between themselves and Girls' Generation little by little.
It is not impossible to surpass Girls' Generation, but first of all, you must narrow the distance between you and Girls' Generation. Otherwise, the distance between the two sides is too far, and you can't catch up, so what else can you talk about transcendence?
T-ara has now successfully reached the top and has become a recognized top girl group in Korea. But this does not mean that T-ara can surpass Girls' Generation. It can only be said that after T-ara becomes the top group, it can bring pressure to Girls' Generation. In other words, it is qualified to compete with Girls' Generation.
Therefore, if T-ara wants to surpass Girls' Generation, the first thing she needs to do is to narrow the distance between each other as quickly as possible. Of course, this requires enough time. Whether it is T-ara or MC company, it must be patient enough.
"You know the situation best, Ji'en, your student. Now you have basically reached the peak of a solo female singer. What you have to do now is to keep it and continue to move forward in the process of maintaining it. So, if nothing unexpected happens, Ji'en will hold concerts every year in the future. This is a way for Ji'en to prove his popularity and strength, and it is also a way to cultivate fans."
This is normal. Singers who are truly popular in Korea basically hold concerts every year. In addition to making money simply, they are more about maintaining the relationship between singers and fans and bringing them closer together.
This is like an ordinary person who makes an appointment to have dinner together for nothing. When having some food during dinner, it will be better if the relationship is more often. For singers, concerts are restaurants, food is music, and chats are singers singing and fans’ support. This will make fans feel more belonging to the singers, support the singers more wholeheartedly, and will not lose fans easily.
This is undoubtedly the best way to narrow the distance between the fans for singers who may not have any plans for a whole year. What's more, concerts are for buying tickets, and both agency and artists can earn a large amount of income from it, and they will not refuse it both publicly and privately.
Kim Yu-fan smiled and said, "I know, I know. But brother, don't forget that there will be a CKK charity concert at the end of the year, which also needs to be paid attention to and done well."
"Of course!" Hong Shengcheng nodded and said with a serious look: "I know this if you don't say it. In fact, the CKK charity concert is even far superior to the concerts of our MC family members for our MC company. After all, this is a charity concert, and it is also a CKK charity concert. At present, our Korean entertainment industry is well-deserved first charity concert."
Hong Shengcheng knew very well that MC company was able to be the only organizer of CKK charity concerts, which was really too many benefits for MC company. Although there was no financial benefit, on the contrary, MC company still needed to pay and work hard, but there were too many benefits invisibly.
It is no exaggeration to say that now that MC company says it does not want to undertake the CKK charity concert, there will definitely be other agency companies. The strong are begging to undertake the CKK charity concert, and they are willing to do so no matter how much they spend.
Do you really think that others are fools, competing for this CKK charity concert that seems thankless on the surface?
In fact, the invisible benefit of CKK charity concert to MC company is huge. First of all, that is charity. As long as it is charity, there is no dare to talk. Whoever dares to be furious in the face of charity will be attacked by everyone.
At the same time, the brand of charity is good and can greatly enhance the image of MC companies in the minds of the people. Although MC companies are now recognized as the most humane brokerage company, it is not a bad thing to be able to enhance their image.
Especially with an image of keen on charity, this is undoubtedly a protective umbrella for MC companies. At least, the current culture, sports and tourism department wants to deal with MC companies. It is not because there is really no reason to deal with MC companies. It really has to deal with a certain brokerage company. Does the culture, sports and tourism department still need to find a reason?
After all, MC company has a good reputation and image, especially since it has insisted on charity over the years, which has made MC company have a high status in the minds of the Korean people, with a good impression and evaluation. Once MC company is moved, there is no appropriate reason, it will definitely arouse collective anger among the Korean people. At that time, no one in the senior management of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism could withstand the anger of the Korean people.
In South Korea, President Park Geun-hye also failed. He really thought that just a girlfriend can completely bring down Park Geun-hye? It is obvious that it is impossible. As the first female president of South Korea, he is definitely a ruthless person. If a girlfriend can bring down Park Geun-hye, then Park Geun-hye is really too weak, or the top leaders in South Korea's political arena are too weak and they can't compete for Park Geun-hye.
After all, it was the mandatory deployment of a certain system that completely angered the anger and dissatisfaction of the Korean people, and then began a large-scale march and resistance. Coupled with the unconfirmed Sewol incident, this is the biggest reason for Park Geun-hye's fall. After all, it was the system deployment that caused collective anger and dissatisfaction of the Korean people, which was the main reason.
CKK Charity Concert is now recognized as the number one charity concert in South Korea. Every year, countless fans and fans come to watch CKK Charity Concerts live. In addition to the expenses of the concert, the tickets for the concert will be donated.
In the subsequent music week, a donation box was also set up, and fans and fans could freely donate. Each CKK charity concert would bring a large amount of donations, which made CKK charity concert recognized by South Korea as the number one charity concert, and it also had a great influence and appeal.
Singers under MC Company can make mistakes or even not hold concerts, which will have no impact on MC Company, but if the CKK charity concert is not done well or is not held, then the impact will be too great.
Hong Seung-sung can see this more clearly than anyone else, so when Kim Yu-hwan mentioned this matter with Hong Seung-sung, he learned that this was a charity concert held by Kim Yu-hwan, Cho Yong-bi and Kim Chang-hoon, Hong Seung-sung keenly discovered the influence and sensation that the CKK charity concert would bring. He saw how many intangible benefits and benefits MC company could get from it as the only organizer of CKK charity concert.
Because of this, Hong Seung-sung strongly supported and agreed to the CKK Charity Concert without any hesitation on the spot, and said that Kim Yu-hwan didn't need to worry about it. You should concentrate on preparing your CKK Charity Concert. As for the preparation and stage construction of the CKK Charity Concert, audio equipment and lighting, including publicity and on-site security forces, I personally take charge and check it.
Kim Yu-fan smiled and said nothing, saying everything he should say, and Hong Seung-sung knew that he could tell the difference, which made Kim Yu-fan have nothing to say, and there was nothing to say.
At this moment, Kim Yu-fan only has one feeling that it is definitely his own luck to be able to manage the MC company with a president like Hong Seung-sung.
If it weren't for Hong Seung-sung, Kim Yu-hwan knew that even if he created classic songs, high-rating TV series and high-box office movie scripts, he could also drive the rapid development of MC companies, but it would never be as fast as it is now. It is estimated that at most it will make MC companies one of the top brokers in the Korean entertainment industry like S.M and other brokers in just a few years, rather than completely surpassing S.M and becoming the recognized first brokerage company in the Korean entertainment industry.
"By the way, Yufan, I received an invitation from a variety show to you. I wonder if you are interested?" Hong Shengcheng said with a smile as if he had thought of something.
"Variety show?" Kim Yu-fan was stunned for a moment and looked at Hong Shengcheng with some confusion: "Brother, no, there are still variety shows that dare to invite me now?"
This is not Kim Yu-fan's arrogant attitude, but Kim Yu-fan's identity and status are there. Now, unless it is a variety show produced by Kim Yu-fan himself, sometimes it is hard to refuse to participate. Kim Yu-fan basically won't participate in other variety shows.
No, that is, Kim Yu-hwan's identity and status are different. No matter how high Kim Yu-hwan's appearance fee is, the program team can get it if they grit their teeth, whether it is 100 million won or 1 billion won. After all, behind the program team is a TV station, and the TV station is not so poor. As long as they feel it is necessary, Kim Yu-hwan can bring huge help to the ratings of the program and expand the influence of the program. It doesn't matter how much money it is.
However, Kim Yu-fan has a different identity and status. As the number one artist in the Korean entertainment industry and the president of the No. 1 agency in the Korean entertainment industry, not all program teams can invite him. Kim Yu-fan is now filming Hollywood blockbusters with a pay of tens of millions of dollars, and has huge popularity and influence around the world. Who would have such an international superstar participate in any variety show?
Not to mention Kim Yu-fan, the top stars in any country in the world basically do not participate in variety shows. Not only because of the cost, but also the schedule is also a little bit. More importantly, for top stars, it is thankless to participate in variety shows, and it is still very hard to make no money. They are already tired enough. It is better to sleep in at home and have a good rest when you have that time.
In recent years, except for occasionally going to "Running Man" to play soy sauce, Kim Yu-hwan has only the program "No Abnormality in Duty" with political tasks. Moreover, this program is only temporary. After the program is stable, Kim Yu-hwan left. Although the successor Rain worked very hard, his reaction and ratings have obviously dropped significantly compared to Kim Yu-hwan's period. Once again, it makes people sigh that Kim Yu-hwan is worthy of being the guarantee of ratings.
"Well, this show is from SBS TV. You have to wait until the 2A ends the publicity period. Isn't it more than a month? I think if you are fine, you can go on this show. This show is also quite interesting, and it will also make you feel primitive and thorough freedom. I think it's very good. Don't just stay at home if you are fine. You are the number one artist in the Republic of Korea. Do you dare to let yourself be more busy?"
