In 2004, South Korea had three top platinum records.

The first platinum record is Rain's "Itsraining". The album was released on October 8. It is the third album of the new Korean king Rain. As soon as the album was released, it was sold out by fans, which shows Rain's popularity.

It is worth mentioning that in the near future, at the end of January 2005, Rain will hold its first solo concert. I believe that it will attract a large number of fans to cheer for him and promote the sales of the album again.

The second platinum record is "brandnew" of the Myth Group. The album was released on August 27. It is the seventh album of the Myth Group. It is a big album that is completely different from the first six albums. For the fans of the Myth Group, the album represents a brand new myth and a new beginning for the Myth to leave SM Entertainment.

The third platinum record is "T-Day Angle" by Dongfang Shenqi, which was released on October 13.

The Korean new force Dongfang Shenqi released three singles and a regular album in 2004, which shows that their popularity is soaring.

Among them, the album "T-Sun Angle" is hailed as a classic by fans. The title song "T-Sun Angle" is adapted from Mozart's 40th Symphony. It was produced and recorded by Yu Yongzhen, the producer of the SM Entertainment Company's royal music. The same company's Bo A and thetrax also joined the harmony of the song.

From January 1 to January 7, media and public have been comparing Jin Jingcheng's first official album "Night Paradise" with these three 2004 platinum records, and the trend after comparison made many people a little unbelievable.

Because the sales of "Night Paradise" in one week actually exceeded the sales data of Rain's "Itsraining" in October 22 days, the Mythical Group's "Brandnew" and the Oriental Godqi's "T-Day Angle". The first-day sales and first-week sales of these two albums are much worse than those of "Night Paradise".

Because Kim Jingcheng is a solo male singer, the media and the public compare him with Rain more. According to the popular sales trend of "Night Paradise", Rain's "Itsraining" seems to be overshadowed in the comparison.

Originally, Rain's popularity last year made some media and public give Rain the title of the hottest solo male singer, and some media and public even named him the new king of the Korean music scene. But now, Kim Jingcheng's emergence seems to have suppressed Rain's momentum all at once.

In contact with Kim Jong-sung also suppressed Rain at the KBS Acting Awards, some media posted a message saying that Kim Jong-sung is the evil star of Rain. Kim Jong-sung seemed to be deliberately opposing Rain. It seemed that he was saying to Rain: "With me, you have to stand aside whether in TV dramas or in music."

After seeing this news report, Jin Jingcheng felt amused and crying.

It was not Jin Jingcheng who collided with rain again and again. Jin Jingcheng actually admired rain very much. This was really a coincidence. The two people collided together at this time by coincidence.

In fact, this incident also proves the popularity of Rain, because Jin Jingcheng is now popular. If Rain is not popular enough, the media and the public will not specifically take him out to compare with Jin Jingcheng.

What made Jin Jingcheng even more amused was that he would soon run into Rain in another matter.

That's about the concert.

In a short while, Rain will hold his first solo concert at the end of January this year. However, according to Kim Jingcheng's plan, he will hold a concert in February, but it is not a solo concert, but a very special concert.

Even so, it will probably be inevitable that the media and the public will be compared again.

I don’t know what will happen to the concert then?

...

There are two other views in the news about "Night Paradise" that form an interesting phenomenon.

The first is that some Korean media published news that Kim Jingcheng's double-version album was released at the same time was too hasty, and it was even said that it might be because Kim Jingcheng's development was too smooth and too rapid after his debut. So much so that Kim Jingcheng became a little proud of this and overestimated his ability to release the double-version album of the Chinese and Korean version.

The second type is that some Chinese media have published news and commented that the Chinese songs in the mid-version album of Jin Jingcheng's "Night Paradise" are really sang very authentic, which is a miracle. Many Chinese people who have heard this mid-version album have given high praise, thinking that Jin Jingcheng's Chinese is incredible, and that the six Chinese songs are all very good.

The latter news view undoubtedly slapped the first news view.

Unfortunately, the sales of the mid-version album "Night Paradise" in China were not good in the first week, and only sold more than 2,000 copies. On the one hand, it was because Jin Jingcheng is not very famous in China now. Now he has gained some fame in China with "Sorry, I Love You" and three singles that have been released earlier.

On the other hand, because the phenomenon of online piracy is serious, some websites do not purchase copyrights at all, and directly present this mid-version album of "Night Paradise" for free to listen to and download.

Jin Jingcheng was helpless and was temporarily weak when it came to piracy. Perhaps when his power really grew, he could communicate and adjust in China.

Even so, Jin Jingcheng believes that with the continuous spread and spread of the good reputation of the Chinese version of "Night Paradise" in China, sales will definitely improve. Even if it will not be at the forefront of the Chinese album sales rankings in the end, its results should be better.

What's more, Jin Jingcheng believes that with his continuous development in the entertainment industry, his reputation in China will become greater and greater, and the album will naturally be better and better.

...

On the morning of January 8, Kim Jong-sung was sitting in the president's office of the jjc entertainment studio. He was waiting for the arrival of someone, a director, a director who was not famous yet but would shine in the future.

Obviously, Kim Jingcheng suddenly made an appointment with such a director, not groundless, but had some plans.

The matter involved the next movie he wanted to invest in, which was also a movie he focused on in 2005.

At present, the director Jin Jingcheng is waiting for is still on the way.

Jin Jingcheng, who was unwilling to waste his time, was checking two commentary articles published in the newspaper while waiting.

Both articles are music reviews about the album "Night Paradise", and are written by very professional music experts.

Since the release of the album "Night Paradise" on January 1, there have been too many news and comments related to it this week. When the outside world was hyping up, Kim Jong-sung, as the person involved, did not pay much attention to the news comments in this regard, but just asked Shen Lan to help take care of it and then report the overall situation to him.

At present, the two music reviews that Jin Jingcheng is viewing have aroused his special interest.

The difference is that one music review gave great praise to "Night Paradise", while the other one actually gave great criticism to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"...

ps: I am watching the 2015mama live broadcast tonight, and I am writing while watching, which is a bit slow. To be continued.
