[Entertainment circle] What's the use of laying fat eggs

"Billboard? Is it the billboard we know?"

The members got to know the news in the waiting room backstage of the concert. At that time, everyone had just rested and prepared for the upcoming concert. Upon hearing the news, Kim Joo Hyung’s first reaction was to take out his phone and look at the calendar. He pulled out the calendar and saw today It's not April, she seemed relieved, smiled and waved her hands and said:

"How is it possible? Brother, today is not April Fool's Day, but it is the legendary Billboard, where all the world's superstars can go, how could they invite us?"

Seeing his noncommittal attitude, the staff was also a little helpless.To be honest, when he first heard the news, his first reaction was similar to his. He also thought it was a prank sent by some boring person pretending to be an official, or it was a new method of a fraud group. After repeated confirmation several times, he finally confirmed it. This is indeed the official US billboard is not wrong.

The Billboard Awards Ceremony, one of the three major music awards ceremonies in the United States, has a very high influence in the United States and even the world. Those who are lucky enough to be invited by the official are basically well-known international superstars.

But such an awards ceremony, which seemed out of reach and existed only in legends, would take the initiative to invite BTS to attend, not just for a soy sauce, but as an award finalist.

"For the award of Best Social Artist, your votes have far surpassed Justin Bieber, and it is almost certain to win."

The staff tried their best to suppress the excitement in their hearts, and tried their best to maintain a calm analysis with the members one by one. He took a deep breath without showing any traces, and said: "This award was basically awarded on the red carpet before. It’s the first time you’re on the main stage, probably because of your high popularity among young Americans, and you want to take this opportunity to earn a wave of popularity and ratings.”

The overseas popularity of BTS is unexpectedly very high. The attendance rate of the previous overseas concerts has reached a very high number.

The organizer has taken a fancy to the high popularity and popularity of BTS on social networking sites, and wants to take this opportunity to gain popularity, and is willing to abandon some prejudices and actively invite the other party to attend. For BTS, it is already an extremely rare opportunity, and it is an honor to be able to attend , and even being able to stand on the stage that musicians all over the world are desperately looking forward to, everything is as beautiful as a dream.

"Cheche, pinch me to see if Meng has woken up?"

Jiang Mingche came back to his senses, looked at Ueda Jiuguo with big dazed eyes, couldn't help laughing, and obediently stretched out his hand to pinch his arm, and said with a smile: "Now I'm awake without?"

He took advantage of the situation and patted the other person's shoulder lightly, "Everything now is not a dream, we have really received the invitation."

In fact, the invitation was sent so suddenly that there was no time for everyone to prepare. After the celebration, considering the importance of this matter, the company quickly contacted the cooperative brokerage team in the United States to coordinate with BTS this time in the United States. Make appropriate itinerary arrangements.

This is the first time that BTS has been invited to attend the billboard, and it is of extraordinary significance. Neither the company nor the members dare to be careless. Considering that after arriving in the United States, the media interviews will inevitably be conducted in English. By then, this task will be impossible. It has to be handed over to the two members with the best English skills in the team.

"Nan Jun, Ming Che, the two of you have the best English skills. After you arrive in the United States, you two need to put in more effort to interview with the major media and radio stations."

Jin Nanjun and Jiang Mingche looked at each other, and nodded in response. Both of them have a good level of English, can carry out daily conversations fluently, and don't have too many accents, so it will be more convenient to communicate.

Jin Nanjun has always been responsible for the spokesperson of the team. The trip to the United States is indeed a great opportunity for the mainstream media in the United States to get to know them. Under such circumstances, I have to say that just thinking about it makes him feel more pressured.

Fortunately, there is Ming Che who can help share the burden. This child is young, but his mind is very mature. He is also able to face media interviews with ease, and his English is also very good. If you entrust this task to him, you don't need to worry too much. will be done perfectly.

"When the time comes for the interview, let's list the questions that the media may ask first, and let the other members prepare as well. If it's just me and Namjoon, it's not appropriate after all. We have to leave a speech for everyone. The opportunity to show is the best. What do you think?"

Jin Nanjun thought about it too, nodded and said: "It's good, but it's our first time going, so how can we completely guess what questions the media will ask?"

Jiang Mingche had watched their interview videos on Billboard in his previous life. The media didn't know them well, and the questions they asked were somewhat repetitive. To sum it up, there are just a few sentences:

"Probably just a few. If there is a chance, which artist would you like to work with in the future? How does it feel to be on Billboard for the first time? Is there anything you want to say to the fans?"

Jiang Mingche finished speaking one by one, thought for a while, and added: "After all, this is the first time we have appeared in the lens of mainstream media in Europe and the United States. In the case that they are more or less prejudiced against East Asian music, they are against us. I don’t understand, the questions asked are bound to be just a few sentences, inevitably with a bit of a superior attitude, as long as you prepare these few questions carefully, there shouldn’t be too much difference.”

Although the senior producers in the studio treated him very well, Jiang Mingche did know more about the American music circle than the members in that circle for more than two years. He knew that in this circle, there were indeed A large number of people are prejudiced against niche music genres, especially the so-called kpop.

In some people's opinion, kpop can almost be equated with the saliva music produced on the assembly line, at least before the BTS came out, it was indeed the case, but even so, there are prejudices and even rejection of this type of music and artists People, there are still many.

BTS has a variety of music genres, and is different from idols produced by other assembly lines. The members of each album have participated in the creation, and many of the songs are created based on their real ideas. Songs that are soulful and can give comfort to others.

Because of this, BTS's music is indeed very popular among young people. Even if they don't understand the language, the power and emotion conveyed in the music are interlinked.

"Brother, tell me what you want to say, I will translate it into English, and try to memorize it by heart, if you ask me, just say it."

Anyway, there is still some time before the award ceremony officially starts, and they only need to participate in the award ceremony this time, and there is no performance part. Apart from the testimonials and interviews, which need more thought, the rest don't need to worry too much.

Seeming to have thought of something again, Jiang Mingche said, "I want to bring the equipment with me at that time, maybe I'll meet some musicians at the scene, and I can finalize the cooperation invitation in the future."

The brothers only thought he was joking and didn't take his words to heart, so that when they arrived at the scene and received invitations to collaborate from many well-known singers, they were a little bit overwhelmed.

The news that BTS was officially invited to attend the Billboard Awards Ceremony has not yet been officially announced, but there are some whispers in the circle.

That is the mainstream music industry in the United States. There are so many entertainment companies in the industry, and more than one company tried to enter the United States, but after so many attempts, it always backfired. Uncle Hengkong's song "Gangnam Style", until the release of BTS's "Dynamite", occupied the best record in the history of kpop in the Billboard Hot [-].

Billboard is not a stage where money can be given. Such an influential awards ceremony in the world would invite an idol from a small and medium-sized company to attend. How can this not make people feel dreadful.

It's not that they haven't tried to suppress BTS and Dahei, and have reached cooperation with TV stations to reduce the possibility of them appearing in variety shows. To some extent, their status is indeed seriously threatened.

The members know nothing about the secret targeting of certain forces behind the scenes.At this moment, they were sitting on the way to the hotel after the concert. Pu Zhizheng sat on the back seat with a blanket in his arms, turned his head to look at his younger brother who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and suddenly said, "Little Che, I'll be back at the hotel in a while." , would you like to have a drink with brother?"

Jiang Mingche paused, looked up at him, but didn't refuse, "No problem, it's just that brother suddenly wants to drink?"

Park Zhixuan sighed without a trace, "I'm going to Billboard soon, I always feel that everything is so beautiful now, it feels like I'm dreaming, a bit unreal." After finishing speaking, he raised the corners of his lips and chuckled, " I'm afraid that when I wake up, I'm just an ordinary [-]th-line idol, even in a dream, I have to celebrate and have a good time, what do you think?"

Jiang Mingche nodded, "Okay, as long as you don't drink too much, I have other work tomorrow. When I go back to Seoul, I'll have a good drink with you brother."

On his coming-of-age birthday last year, Jiang Mingche received a lot of wine from his fans. There are all kinds of wine. Although he can drink well, he doesn't like it. Even if everyone is gathering together, he will only choose the taste that suits his appetite Carbonated beverages, even wine, are mostly domestic Tsingtao beer, and those foreign wines and sake are rarely drunk.

Now they are abroad, and there is no Tsingtao Beer here. As for those spirits, considering that they have other work arrangements tomorrow, they must not be touched. After thinking about it, they can only choose other types of alcohol to enjoy themselves, of course. Under the premise of not being greedy or drinking too much.

In the presence of other people, Park Zhixuan didn't want to say too much. In order to change the subject, he asked deliberately: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen you drunk before."

Jiang Mingche doesn't usually drink alcohol, so the members have never seen him when he was drunk, but considering that he had a similar experience in his previous life, Jiang Mingche subconsciously touched his nose in embarrassment, in an uncertain way He replied in a tone: "I don't know either. If I'm drunk, I should be very good?"

However, it turned out not to be the case. One day later, the bad-hearted brothers teamed up and finally got him completely drunk. What was waiting was not the Jiuxin Jiang who was obediently drunk and allowed to be rubbed, but a man who caught someone and threw it into his arms. By the way, it is bound to be a real hooligan who kisses every brother on the chest.
