Chapter 3071 Questions and Answers
While Kim Yu-fan was ready, Liu Xi-ryo looked at the problem card with a smile, and then asked calmly: "First of all, let's talk about recent events. Kim Yu-fan returned with the fourth album and has achieved very good results. In just half a month, the sales of the album exceeded 800,000. Remember, this is just the sales of the album in South Korea. In fact, including the sales of Southeast Asian countries, the total number of sales has exceeded one million."
As Liu Xilie said, everyone at the scene couldn't help but exclaim, and then a warm applause sounded, giving it to the person involved Kim Yu-fan.
The sales of albums can exceed one million mark, which is the most difficult difficulty that the Korean music industry has entered the new century, and even a desperate mark.
Therefore, with the development of the Internet, the actual album sales market has been greatly weakened, and the sales of albums have become less and less. For example, the sales of albums that often cost one million copies in the 1990s have basically disappeared after the new century.
Not to mention the sales of one million copies, between 2000 and 2005, the sales of albums can exceed 700,000 copies, which is awesome. After 2005, the sales of albums can exceed 300,000 copies, which is definitely a big sale. There is no problem in competing for the best-selling album awards of the year. It is very confident and very sufficient.
As for the sales of millions of physical albums, this data has become a legend in the Korean music industry. All singers only look up to the sales of millions of albums, occasionally imagining them in their hearts or dreams.
But since Kim Yu-fan's emergence, it is not difficult for the album sales to exceed one million mark. With his accumulated strength, Kim Yu-fan finally broke through the one million mark on his third album.
Judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to break through the sales of one million albums, which also means that Kim Yu-hwan has become the only person with sales of one million albums.
While singers in the entire Korean music industry were still praying that their albums could reach 500,000, Kim Yu-fan had an album that broke the million mark. Now it is estimated that it will be able to break the million mark in just one week, which will definitely make all Korean singers completely stunned.
Because of the difficulties, the million-dollar sales of Kim Yu-fan's albums are particularly difficult and precious in South Korea. So the first question is that Yoo Hee-yeol is also about the album sales. The most important thing is to highlight the following Kim Yu-fan's musical achievements.
Faced with the applause and cheers from the audience, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but stand up with a smile and bowed modestly to express his gratitude.
"Yufan, although we all know that with the development of the Internet, the actual album sales have been greatly affected. Now, it is considered a super big sale in the music industry, and one million is extremely difficult. But Yufan, you have done this. What do you think is the reason?"
What is the reason! Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he soon began to think about it. This question must be cautious. If you accidentally say the wrong thing, it will offend all the singers in the circle.
After thinking for a while, Kim Yu-fan said, "I think the most important thing is to consider the market. This is a must. Otherwise, no matter how good the music is, it will fail completely without considering the market."
As a musician, Liu Hee-yeol certainly knew this, but the audience at the scene had only a little understanding of Kim Yu-fan's words, and couldn't help but explain it to Kim Yu-fan: "This is very simple, such as jazz-style songs, which are not without in our country, but are very niche and niche music. If Kim Yu-fan makes one, it can be called a textbook and the most classic album in jazz history, but because it is very niche in our country, everyone doesn't like jazz much, and the sales of the album can be imagined at that time."
Liu Xilie's explanation also made everyone understand what was going on. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Without considering the market, no matter how good the music is, it is not popular, so the sales volume is naturally terrible.
For example, the current world single-album sales champion, which is the album "ter" released by Michael Jackson in 1982, is it awesome, of course it is awesome, and its sales have exceeded 100 million mark.
But the problem is, if "ter" was released in South Korea at that time, in the 1960s and 1970s, and in that era when life was a problem, no matter how good the quality of "ter" is or how classic it is, it would probably not be sold in South Korea.
In fact, there was no so-called album concept in Korea in that era, and no one had money and was willing to spend that money to buy albums. After all, in the environment at that time, everyone's first task was to fill their stomachs.
Therefore, for the market, considering market demand, this is necessary. If you do not consider market demand, unless you are lucky enough to meet market demand, otherwise the outcome will be destined. The more miserable you are, the more miserable you are.
Looking at the reactions of everyone, Kim Yu-fan continued with a smile: "The second is quality. If an album wants to succeed and sell well, it is far from enough to aim at the market. It also needs to ensure the quality of the album. Currently, singers in the music industry have released albums, and people above the nine levels are aimed at the market demand, but why can they succeed? There are only a few albums that sell well, which is the reason for the quality."
"At the same time, there is also public relations, or publicity. No matter how good the quality of the album is, but there is not enough publicity, and fewer people know it, it will naturally greatly affect sales."
"There are also the singer's own efforts, which have all aspects, such as the singer's singing skills and dancing skills, as well as the efforts in promoting and making rankings in daily promotion."
"Finally, I think it's still necessary to have a certain opportunity, that is, luck. After all, as far as the current market is concerned, the million-dollar mark is definitely a very difficult number to reach. The main reason why my third-dollar sales can exceed one million is due to my accumulation and release. Otherwise, I guess the sales of my third-dollar sales will also be that of a million-dollar mark. If the third-dollar sales have not exceeded, I guess my fourth-dollar sales will not be as good as it is now."
"Everyone, now everyone knows that it is not easy for singers." Looking at the audience nodding, Liu Xilie continued to sigh and said, "Everyone knows that I am also a musician. Although I don't have many excellent works and the album sales are not very good, it is not that I don't work hard, but that there are all factors. I used to want to explain to everyone, but I was afraid that everyone would not believe it. So now with Brother Kim Yu-fan, everyone will explain it, which is easier than explaining to everyone, and everyone is willing to believe it."
Everyone at the scene laughed at Liu Xilie's identity as a musician all the time. There was no sarcasm in his laughter, but kindness, and a burst of applause broke out.
I won’t talk about the host Liu Xilie, but everyone believes in Liu Xilie’s identity as a musician.
You know, even if you bring any idol group, including the powerful idol bigbang members, and stand with Liu Xilie, in the eyes of the public, you are not as good as Liu Xilie.
Because, in the eyes of the public, idols are just singers, and Liu Xilie is the real musician.
A real musician is to have his own understanding and persistence in music and will never be corrupted by business or influence his creation. This is the real musician. In this regard, whether it is Liu Xilie or Yin Zhongxin, they are all such people.
"By the way, Yufan just now, you said that you have accumulated strength. What does your accumulated strength look like? Can you tell me? I believe it's not just me, but everyone is very curious?"
Facing Liu Hee-yeol's inquiry, Kim Yu-fan thought about it and decided not to say it, because nonsense was obviously untenable and others would not believe it. To be honest, even his own family felt like he was showing off. Kim Yu-fan had no intention of doing this kind of hatred.
"Haha, that's it." Kim Yu-fan said lightly.
Liu Xilie reacted immediately and knew that Kim Yu-fan didn't want to say it, and that it was something that attracted hatred after saying it, so he suddenly laughed and began to change the topic: "By the way, Yu-fan, you are about to work for a long time, and most of the time is overseas. Now many fans are worried, will you get off the M-headquarter "We Are Married"?"
It will be almost a year since Kim Yu-fan and Boa participated in "We Are Married" as CPs, and now they have become the pillars that are certainly inferior to the program. Even the program team is strongly demanded by countless fans every time, requiring the increase in the broadcast volume of international superstars, Kim Yu-fan and Boa. As for the other pairs of CPs, some broadcast volume can be appropriately reduced.
If it really doesn't work, just pull out the international superstars of Kim Yu-fan and Boa to shoot separately, and then open a separate program to ensure that the ratings will not be worse than "We Are Married".
The personalities of Kim Yu-fan and Boa are destined to not be too sweet and romantic when recording. But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the audience feels that it is very real. With the popularity and status of Kim Yu-fan and Boa, their own foreign trade and figure, and their appropriate age, they are definitely the most popular and popular CP in the program team of "We Are Married".
Kim Yu-hwan will go overseas next, and at least one year will have to work overseas. At this time, many people are worried that Kim Yu-hwan's only fixed variety show in South Korea, "We Are Married", will also be suspended due to Kim Yu-hwan's work.
Because Kim Yu-fan is usually low-key in South Korea, he is currently a regular program like "We Are Married". Almost all of Kim Yu-fan's fans are watching the program "We Are Married" every week, just to learn more about Kim Yu-fan.
As the staff of the program team of "We Are Married" said, the fans of Kim Yu-fan and Boa supported at least half of the ratings of the program, or even more than half.
There is no way, who made Kim Yu-fan low-key? Boa basically didn't appear in variety shows in Korea and stayed in Japan. Because the two had few programs, they were basically not, and the two were popular and had great influence, the CP formed naturally attracted the attention of their fans.
"I also discussed this with Boa and I. Of course, we mean that we hope to continue to stay in the show. After all, Boa and I have a happy cooperation, and this is also the best window for both of us fans to understand us. But considering that Boa has been in Japan and I have to go to the United States, it is too far apart, so it is difficult to get right after the trip. In addition, the distance between us will increase the burden on the show team. Therefore, Boa and I don't know if we will get off the car now. In short, Boa and I both expressed our willingness to stay and shoot. As for the specific situation, the program team must consider all factors before we can make a decision."
"No!" The fans at the scene shouted when Kim Yu-fan and Boa were likely to get off the show "We Are Married".
Faced with the fans' request, Kim Yu-fan just smiled. After all, this kind of thing is not the final say between him and Boa, and the program team also has its own considerations.
Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Hee-yeol hurriedly said, "Okay, let's continue talking about it next. Recently, Kim Yu-fan's fourth series has achieved very good results, and the main song "lovethewayyoulie" has even reached the top of the B singles chart, which is definitely the first time in the Republic of Korea. Here, I'm very curious, under what circumstances did you create the song "lovethewayyoulie"? Perhaps what is your creative background? Why did you think of creating an English song?"
Liu Xilie's question this time made the scene quiet. Everyone wanted to know why Kim Yu-fan's new album created an English main song. Is it really what everyone expected before that Kim Yu-fan wanted to enter the US market with the song "Lovethewayyoulie"?
"Haha, it's actually because of a coincidence. At the beginning, I didn't plan to create an English song, but when the melody of the song "Lovethewayyoulie" was created, I realized that the style of this song is rap, and it's an American rap."
Kim Yu-fan smiled and began to fool him: "Actually, at the beginning, when I saw this situation, my first idea was to change it. It was not to change the style of the song, but just to change it into our Korean rap, so that fans can accept and like it better. But later I found that "Lovethewayyoulie" could not be changed after being modified, and it would affect the quality of the song. There was no way, and in the end I could only grit my teeth and insist on the American rap style. After all, every song was created, it was unique, and it was the children of our creators. We also hope that the music we created could be loved by everyone, although I am not very good at American rap."
"Fortunately, everyone likes it very much and supports the song "Lovethewayyoulie". Now "Lovethewayyoulie" has achieved good results on B. It is everyone's love and support to achieve today's good results. I want to thank everyone here." Let's say that, Kim Yu-fan stood up and bowed again, which once again caused warm applause from the audience.
Liu Xilie was convinced and had never seen an artist as appealing as Kim Yu-fan. I guess even when he first debuted, Prince Xu and his children were not as appealing as Kim Yu-fan.
"In fact, since Kim Yu-hwan's debut, although he has not created many songs, basically every song is a very classic song. In the words of the circle, every song created by Kim Yu-hwan is the quality of the main song. I am very curious about this, Yu-hwan, why can you create so many high-quality songs? Although you have created a small number of works, the quality is indeed top-notch. So far, it seems that there is not as good as that song."
Although Kim Yu-fan has not many songs, each song is almost of high quality and even classic songs are often created, which also makes Yoo Hee-yeol, who is also a music creator, very curious.
Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he looked at Liu Xilie's expression. After seeing Liu Xilie's very curious look, he couldn't help laughing.
Obviously, this question is not a question provided by the program team, and it is probably a question that Liu Xilie personally wants to ask.
"Haha, I don't know how to say this. I don't want to fool everyone with so-called inspiration, but I can only say that sometimes inspiration really exists and is very important. And I have good luck. Basically, every time the inspiration appears, there is almost a song skeleton, so the next work is relatively easier."
"Ah, so that's how it is. I have to say that your source of inspiration is really enviable." After hearing Kim Yu-hwan's strength, Liu Hee-yeol couldn't help but say enviously.
You should know that in general, unless it is full of inspiration, the inspiration of the creator often only brings a piece of inspiration to the creator, at most two or three pieces of inspiration when he creates a song.
Then, based on these two and three paragraphs, we continuously revised and modified, extended and expanded, and finally revised, the song slowly appeared.
It is absolutely unrealistic to create a song in a few minutes when inspiration breaks out. Perhaps there is one in this world, but it is absolutely rare. Any brand new song is actually created based on one or two melodies, combined with the continuous extension and expansion of this promotion, and is revised and modified.
Because, this is why many composers often take a long time, several days, or even weeks to compose, because every song is ground by the composer through time.
