Chapter 2765 Sigh
"Kim Yu-fan...Kim Yu-fan...Kim Yu-fan...", 100,000 fans shouted Kim Yu-fan's name neatly and vigorously.
Although this is a CKK charity concert, in addition to Kim Yu-hwan, there are two absolute seniors, Zhao Yong-bi and Kim Chang-hoon, and even legends, but this is useless. It is undeniable that Kim Yu-hwan is the most dazzling existence in the CKK charity concert. It is no exaggeration to say that if Kim Yu-hwan, the Korean artist with the strongest popularity and influence, then the CKK charity concert would not have had such great success and influence today.
It's like the four Trots and four kings are coming. The four of them jointly held a charity concert. Their influence and effect are probably not as good as half of the CKK charity concert, and they are not even as good as half.
After all, qualifications are qualifications, but popularity and influence are the real and most important.
Just like Xu Taizhi and the children, in terms of status and grades, they will definitely beat the top group of the current, but so what? After all, Prince Xu and the children are already in the past. Now BigBang and EXO, as well as Girls' Generation, are the current group of the present. If Prince Xu and the children really hold charity concerts with top group such as BigBang, there is no doubt that the top group of the current group of BigBang will have greater influence and stronger appeal. This is undoubtedly the top group of the current group of BigBang and other greater.
Popularity is absolutely everything for an artist, especially for singers. Just like some newcomers, they are not very strong, but they cannot stand their popularity. So when it comes to endorsement, they dare to ask for an endorsement fee of 100 million won. But for some senior singers who have been in the industry for more than ten years and have been able to beat the entire group in their singing skills and their own strength. It is estimated that not to mention the advertising endorsement fee of 10 million won, no advertisers even come to us.
Is this the reason for strength? Obviously not. This is a victory in popularity and influence.
Just like Kris and Lu Han, they left EXO and returned to China to develop. As actors, their pay can reach almost 100 million yuan. On the contrary, some big-name actors who have long proved their strength, acting skills, and box office appeal are only tens of millions. Anyway, an evergreen tree like Liu Tianwang is completely popular and has a reputation, and the pay is only 30 million yuan.
Damn, is this normal? It is obviously abnormal, but this is a fact. Why does Kris and Lu Han have such a terrifying pay, which is completely inconsistent with their strength? Isn’t it because Kris and Lu Han are young and have high popularity and great influence?
After all, the main consumer group in the entertainment industry is young people, whether in the music industry or the film industry, especially in the Chinese film industry, the film market has not yet reached a very high level. Compared with the Hollywood and other film markets, basically the consumption is young people, with college students and under 30 years old as the main consumer group.
Therefore, in China, as long as you capture college students and groups under the age of 30, your value will soar and become a well-deserved popularity king. You can break many rules and make people feel uncomfortable but helpless.
This is the case at the CKK charity concert. No matter how successful and brilliant Cho Yong-bi and Kim Chang-hoon have achieved, they cannot change it. This is already the past. The mainstream of the present is undoubtedly Kim Yu-fan, let alone Kim Yu-fan, who is also recognized by the entire South Korea, and the most outstanding artist in the history of the Korean entertainment industry, no doubt.
According to the evaluation of many insiders, perhaps only Kim Yu-fan can truly resist the corrosion of time. Even if more than ten years or decades have passed, he is still the most dazzling artist in the Korean entertainment industry. Even if there is no matter how crazy or popular it is in the peak period, he will be like a trend passing by, gradually declining and being forgotten.
"Haha, this kid!" Looking at the name of Kim Yu-fan who was shouting neatly by the fans at the audience, Zhao Rongbi couldn't help laughing and said to Kim Chang-hoon beside him: "I am also older now. If I were thirty years younger, I would never be convinced. I had to compete with this kid Yu-fan."
Kim Chang-hoon smiled, then watched Kim Yu-fan who was performing seriously on TV, nodded and said, "Although I am recognized as the king of live performances by everyone, I have participated in almost thousands of live performances since my debut, I know better that my live performances are nothing at all. There are not many people. If you really want to count the number of people, Yu-fan will hold a tour as long as he is willing, and in one go, he can attract hundreds of thousands or even millions of fans to participate in his tour. My thousands of performances, the total number of thousands of people is estimated to be only one million people, which is not enough for Kim Yu-fan to hold a tour in half a year."
During Kim Chang-hoon's period, there were basically no good publicity platforms. There were more small performances, verbally yelling about the so-called small concerts, but it would be better to say that it was a small and simple fan meeting and then sing.
After all, SBS TV's "Popular Songs" was broadcasted in 1991, KBS TV's "Music Bank" was broadcasted in 1998, MBC TV's "Music Center" was broadcasted in 2005, and M-net's "M! Countdown" was broadcasted in 2004.
Kim Chang-hoon debuted in 1991. Although he had "Popular Songs" at that time, because he had just started broadcasting, "Popular Songs" had no popularity or influence at all. At that time, few singers would choose to participate in "Popular Songs", where countless singers and agency companies are now competing to participate in the song program.
At that time, "Popular Songs" was really ignored. The ratings were bleak and the influence was pitiful. If it weren't for the SBS TV station as its backer and backer, it would have been cut off long ago.
At that time, singers such as Kim Chang-hoon were more often participated in commercial performances or small fan meetings, and the number of people was only one or two hundred, or hundreds, which accounted for more than 90%. The remaining ones were thousands of people, but they were very few. Only those solo singers and groups who were truly top and most popular were qualified to hold concerts of tens of thousands of people, which made singers such as Kim Chang-hoon extremely envious.
Although Kim Chang-hoon is recognized as the king of performances and currently has a record of thousands of performances, it is not very large to count the number of people. At least since HOT debuted, that is, after 1995, the first generation of top ten groups started the glorious period of team groups, any top group will hold dozens of concerts at any time, and a concert of 10,000 or 20,000 or 30,000 to 40,000 people. The total number of people has exceeded that of Kim Chang-hoon for more than 20 years, and accumulated the number of audiences for thousands of performances.
And it's just the number of audiences, but it's impossible to hold concerts like Kim Yu-hwan and others. Almost all of them come to their own fans, audiences and fans. This is a completely different concept.
"Forget it!" Zhao Rongbi shook his head and sighed: "It's not okay if he doesn't accept old age now. Now it's the world of young people like Kim Yu-fan. You are old, let alone us old guys."
Kim Chang-hoon smiled indifferently: "Teacher, don't say that. No matter what, teacher, you are the first triple-champion in our Republic of Korea. Although Jong Kook has also won the triple-champion, we all know that Jong Kook won the triple-champion because of his good times and his luck. If it is really good, it is far from being compared with the quality. After all, Mr. Teacher, you were fighting among countless powerful competitors, not like Jong Kook, the foundation was laid. Just as the first generation of the top ten combinations fell, the second generation of combinations had not yet begun. Yufan and Rain did not return to the music scene that year because of their personal development, so Jong Kook won the triple-champion that year."
Speaking of this, Kim Chang-hoon looked at Cho Yong-bi and said seriously: "At least, in my personal opinion, there is only one triple crown in the music scene of the Republic of Korea, and that is, you. As for the triple crown of Jong Kook, I don't deny it, but it's still a little worse in terms of quality, so I'm considered half a triple crown."
"At least, in my opinion, teacher, you are the only triple crown in the music scene of our Republic of Korea. Even if the three major TV stations have not cancelled the award ceremony yet, it is impossible for anyone to win the triple crown like teacher."
Zhao Rongbi shook his head lightly: "Changxun, I am very happy and like to listen to what you said. But in fact, there is still a problem with your words. Indeed, it is difficult to get the Triple Crown. You have to say that Kim Jong Kook's Triple Crown is lucky, and I won't say much, but if you say that no one in the music industry will be able to get the Triple Crown again, I won't agree with this sentence."
"I really think so. I don't think anyone else can get it..." Before Kim Changxun finished speaking, he was stunned and then watched the TV series in amazement, then he remained silent.
The reason is very simple, that is, when Kim Changxun was talking, Zhao Rongbi smiled indifferently, and didn't say anything, but just pointed at the TV.
After Kim Chang-hoon subconsciously watched the TV, or Kim Yu-fan, who was performing hard on the TV, was stunned, and then silent.
It is obvious that Zhao Yongbi's meaning is very simple, that is, at least Kim Yu-hwan still has absolute popularity, strength and qualifications to win the Triple Crown. Kim Chang-hoon never denies Kim Yu-hwan's popularity and strength, so he also understands that Zhao Yongbi is really not modest, but a fact. If the three major TV stations still have their own music awards ceremony like before, then there is absolutely no problem for Kim Yu-hwan to win the Triple Crown.
With Kim Yu-fan's terrifying popularity and his own strong strength, coupled with his outstanding and proud music creation talent and strength, let alone the Triple Crown champion, even if he adds an M-net, there will be no problem for Kim Yu-fan. At that time, Kim Yu-fan may not be sure to become the only four-champion in the Korean music industry, and he is a more awesome than the Triple Crown champion.
"Yu Fan is indeed our Republic of Korea, and even in the whole world, he can be called a genius. No, genius cannot describe Yu Fan, this child should be considered a monster. Everyone says that Ji-Dragon is a genius in music, but Ji-Dragon is really far behind Yu Fan. When did you see a person who is proficient in singing skills, music creation, agency, investment business, variety show planning, director, screenwriter, and acting skills. The key is that Yu-Dragon is not only proficient, but can still reach the level and level of genius or even monsters in every field. To put it bluntly, if Yu-Dragon is not a singer and does anything else, he will definitely be the top talent, and will stand out and become the most dazzling existence."
Speaking of this, Zhao Rongbi sighed: "As for the honor of the Triple Crown you mentioned, do you think this is a problem for Yufan's child? With Yufan's attitude of directly sweeping the list and slaughtering the screen every time he returns to the music scene, millions of official fans, millions of passers-by fans, and the absolute quality assurance of the main songs. In my opinion, as long as the song awards of the three major TV stations have not been cancelled and are still there, as long as Yufan's child is willing, he can win the Triple Crown every year."
"This seems to be a supreme honor to you. As long as Kim Yu-fan is willing, he can definitely win it every year. Instead, it will reduce the value of this triple crown. It's not meaningful. This is not an exaggeration. At least I don't think that today's top combinations such as Dongfang Shenqi, EXO, BigBang and Girls' Generation can compete with Kim Yu-fan head-on and can win Yu-fan."
Kim Chang-hoon was silent because what Cho Yong-bi said was the truth. As Cho Yong-bi said, as long as Kim Yu-fan is willing, no one in the Korean music industry can just surpass Kim Yu-fan. This also means that as long as Kim Yu-fan is willing, the triple crown champion will not be under any pressure for Kim Yu-fan.
Whether it is popularity, influence, album sales, music scores, and major music rankings, Kim Yu-fan can beat all singers. In this case, the results are there and can beat other singers a lot, even if the TV station is unwilling to do so, he has to award the award to Kim Yu-fan.
Although sometimes TV stations are willing to play with some shady scenes, for example, artists under S.M Company are basically difficult to win any important awards at the MAMA Asia Awards Ceremony hosted by M-net. Whether the YG family's territory is good or not is basically well known.
But even so, there is a prerequisite, that is, I want to play the shady scene, but the person being played must have excellent results in all aspects, at least it cannot be far behind the person being cheated. Otherwise, the nature will be completely different. The shady scene is the shady scene, everyone knows, but if you dare to play openly, it will be too much. At that time, the huge public anger, dissatisfaction and doubts will be enough for you to continue the award ceremony.
"Well, I admit that Yu Fan is a special exception, but now, the song awards of the three major TV stations have been cancelled and will no longer be held. Even if they are held, there will be no substantial competition and awards. It is just a music feast dinner. So, at present, the Triple Crown of the Republic of Korea is still the teacher, and Jong Kook can only count half of it."
Zhao Rongbi shook his head helplessly and patted Kim Chang-hoon's shoulder: "Although what you are talking about is the fact, we cannot be arrogant behind this matter. We must recognize ourselves. We all know that Yufan is definitely the strength to win the triple crown, or even the four crowns, and it is very relaxed. Even as long as Yufan is willing, he can win the triple crown or the four crowns every year and completely monopolize this supreme honor. Even if several TV stations no longer hold the ballad award, this is not a reason. At least with Kim Yufan, we all know that even if the TV station does not hold the ballad award now, this is definitely not me, nor is Kim Jong-kook able to be proud of the triple crown award. At least with Kim Yufan, he has the strength to beat us in this regard. This is an indisputable fact."
Seeing what Kim Chang-hoon was about to say, Zhao Rongbi smiled and waved his hand and interrupted Kim Chang-hoon: "Okay, that's all, and there's no need to continue arguing. It's completely meaningless. Okay, now we'll take back our minds and don't continue to discuss these meaningless topics. Focus on watching Yufan's performance. After all, you have to admit that Yufan's performances are not very many. After all, you still need to serve as a director, screenwriter and actor, and you have to go overseas to develop. Time and energy are limited, and it's impossible to have many live performances, but rape flowers are indeed different. Every time I see Yufan's live stage, I feel like I see something new."
"I am old now, just plan to simply make some music that I like and willing to do. But you are still young and will continue to continue on the road of music in the future. At least in my opinion, you are still young and should not give up so easily. You should learn more about Yufan and learn the stages of young and younger generations. Perhaps some stages and performances are unacceptable to us, but like Yufan's live performances, there are still some places worth learning from. As long as you look carefully and experience them, you will always have new discoveries."
"Inside!" Knowing that Zhao Rongbi didn't plan to continue talking about this topic, Kim Changxun also responded honestly, and then focused on watching Kim Yu-fan who was singing seriously on the TV. He planned to take a closer look and see Kim Yu-fan's live performance. What is worth learning from.
Kim Chang-hoon is not young anymore and will be almost 50 years old in a few years, but this does not mean that Kim Chang-hoon will impress himself. At least in Kim Chang-hoon's heart, he has no intention of retreating behind the scenes so quickly and starting to retire halfway. Therefore, any person and performance who can improve his strength, improve the quality and effect of his live performances will be carefully observed and learned.
Chapter completed!
