Korean entertainment life reset

The title song "heart" is not as punk as the previous songs, but the change in style is not too big. The fans in the past all liked this set, and the quality of the songs is not bad. Cube has concentrated its efforts on publicity. It has reached a few places, and its sound source performance is relatively good, but its popularity is still stagnant, and there are not many new fans.

It's never easy to be a new fan in the female singer circle, let alone when you have debuted for a while and the novelty has passed.We all know that Divine Comedy is hard to come by. If you want to break out of this circle, it stands to reason that the most common way is to come to a sexy song with a quality above the "good" level, paired with appropriate styling and dance, and then use this There is more than one female group that has successfully recruited. Cube had a similar idea at first, but changed the plan abruptly under the intervention of Cui Zhenhao, an obsessive-compulsive person who doesn't like major transformations.Later, when I saw that the dance of "Mirror, Mirror" was banned because it was too pornographic, and the related reviews on the Internet were not good, the whole company felt lucky.

"The thing is, I was too impatient." Even Hong Shengcheng had to admit his negligence and the value of Cui Zhenhao, "I will make changes in the future, so let you check it out. When an artist changes his style, he gets stuck."

Regarding Hong Shengcheng's slightly joking words, Cui Jinhao just smiled lightly, and then said seriously: "If you let me see, beast's project is a little bit risky, but the song is good, it means that we want lyrical dance music to become the signature of beast ?"

"If they want to stand up, they must have a signboard. In their previous promotions, the response to the lyric song was good, and they have some foundations." Speaking of this, Hong Shengcheng's face showed some pride. , The time and effort he spent on beast's project is unimaginable, "I hope they can stand firm this time."

"Speaking of this promotion, apart from Yang Yoo-seop who will be on "Immortal Famous Songs", is there any need for other people to take some more schedules?" Choi Jin-ho asked.

"There is no good opportunity, at this time, it is better to be short than excessive." Hong Shengcheng said, beast no longer needs to be familiar with a bunch of programs that generally don't earn many shots like they did when they first debuted. One thing I want to discuss with you, Long Junheng and Goo Hora’s love affair, he reported to the company, this is the first one to report, I’m thinking about how to deal with it.”

No one reported it before, but it doesn't mean that no one has a tricky relationship. Some people have the idea that they don't want the company to know. The company's monitoring and tracking of artists is still very strict at the stage when they have the ability to hide it from the company, so it is not very likely to be photographed by reporters, so they don't care too much. A charter is up.

In any case, they must first solve the current problem.

Prohibition is not necessary, people follow the normal process, report to the company when they are in love, debut for nearly two years, it does not apply to the situation of distracted love and delayed combination, just find a reason to break up, and there will be one It's a very bad precedent. The following artists are secretly in love, and the company has no place to cry.The focus of Hong Shengcheng and Cui Zhenhao is still on some things after the relationship, Cui Zhenhao is thinking: "Do you want to say hello to the reporter?"

"Pay attention, you don't need to talk about it first." Hong Shengcheng's thinking was different from Cui Zhenhao's.

Cui Zhenhao's eyes widened: "If it was photographed, could it be..."

"The scandal with Shin Se Kyung has given Kim Jonghyun a lot of popularity. Korea generally cannot use idol scandals to hype, but the situation has changed in recent years." Hong Shengcheng is very sensitive to the surrounding environment, "If you are discovered, let it be Well, Long Junheng... This kind of thing doesn't affect him too much. Kara's popularity in Japan is not much worse than that of Girls' Generation, isn't it? But other people have to change the way of handling it. If HyunA This kind of public love, we have to accept."

He was in charge of the planning of Cui Zhenhao's frowning. During this period, he met a few little girls a lot. With his eyesight, he noticed something was wrong, but it didn't look like he was in love, but rather... he had someone he liked. ?

Whether it can be caught or not is another matter... Cui Zhenhao didn't plan to tell Hong Shengcheng about the unexpected thing, but after hearing Hong Shengcheng's words, he decided to pay more attention.

Shortly after the promotional period of Beast ended, Beast, the fastest rising boy group, released their first full-length album under the spotlight.In order to better implement the "lyrical" theme, before the official release of the album, beast first released a ballad-style prelude song "Rainy Day".

Except for the addition of Long Junheng's rap at the end, the song "Rainy Day" can be called a typical ballad, so the audience of this song is very wide, not only young people like it, but those who don't like g Middle-aged and old people alike will appreciate it.

In addition to a wide audience, the timing of "Rainy Day" is also very good.Before the release of this song, the music scene was mainly dominated by f(x) and Park Jae-bum. It is a bit exaggerated to say that the arena is a bit exaggerated. It is reasonable to say that f(x) has not appeared in the past two years compared to the popularity, sales, and music sources. Park Jae-bum has a considerable advantage in the Korean music scene, but in order to win the top spot, Park Jae-bum's fans placed large orders twice before the deadline for sales statistics, abruptly sweeping the top spot in f(x) At that time, two winners were picked from "Music Bank". Of course, fans of f(x) also smashed orders, but one of so many programs had to take care of it.When "Rainy Day" comes out, whether it is f(x) or Park Jae-bum, fans will not have much purchasing power left, and there are no new popular singers to release songs, and the sound source will determine the winner. "Rainy Day" actually achieved the achievement of "winning the first place with the sound source score" before beast released the album and started to promote it.

Winning by sound source points, beast's "Rainy Day" is not the first, who is ahead?Typical examples include Kim Jong Kook's "Today Is Better Than Yesterday" and Baek Ji Young's "Like a Shot" in 2008, as well as "Eat Well" in 2010 and IU's "Good Day". The common characteristics are: strength, and The songs are of high quality.

It is really rare for an idol group that has been dancing music to have such a high music source score.

The unexpectedly excellent performance of the prelude song is undoubtedly a good start for beast, and they started the promotion period with an optimistic attitude.

However, this does not allow Cube to greatly improve its confidence in this album promotion, so as to get rid of one of its bad "hobbies": repurchase.

There are two kinds of sales rankings commonly used in South Korea, also known as g list and h list. The g list is the shipment volume of domestic and overseas publishers minus the return volume, and the h list is the real-time shipment volume of some domestic publishers plus the estimated volume of other stores.Music program statistics and album scores are based on the data of the h-list, so various methods have been used, such as fans systematically smashing orders to concentrate sales in stores covered by the h-list, and it estimates sales in non-covered stores according to the original ratio The estimated total amount will definitely be inflated. In addition, there are other methods to impact the sales of the h list, such as signing, but the simplest and rude one is-repurchase.

The company buys a large number of albums at the stores covered by the h-list, and returns them after the settlement date is over when the required data is available, so as to improve the album scores of its artists.Of course, this kind of method is not advocated, but for the sake of one, especially when the album can be won by a few points, some companies still do it secretly.

Cube is a "recidivist".

However, "recidivists" don't have that much experience at the moment, and their methods are so simple and rude that even artists can't stand it.

"Orders from the Middle East...Although I claim to be an Arab prince on the show, I have never expected to be popular in the Arab world." Sun Dongyun was very helpless. Orders from China were more reliable than this, although the popularity of beast in China was not very high. That's it.

"The company is trying to avoid being caught with actual evidence," Zhang Xianyu couldn't go on talking about this, "but it's so obvious, even if there is no physical evidence, the outside world can convict."

In the previous comebacks, the main purpose of Cube was to make Beast win as many circles as possible. The requirements for a trophy were not high. "Old problem" is simply a matter of course.

"Didn't you say it on the Internet, the oil boy group?" Liang Yaoxie put down his phone and said, "Don't worry too much, after you get one, who cares how you get it."

Zhang Xianxuan glanced at the door, the door was closed tightly, and Liang Yaoxie spoke in a low voice, so he felt relieved, saying this in the waiting room of the TV station, it was not good for some people to hear it, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, he did He opened the mouth and said, "It's because our grades are good. No one is competitive in the same period. If we bump into some popular groups, we will have a quarrel." Beast is really lucky this time, and it did repurchase, and the signs are very clear , but because the response to the song was very good, nothing happened in the end. In Zhang Xianyu's memory, he was labeled as a "repurchase" idol, not one or two.

In 2012, it was not the worst in comparison.

Zhang Xianyu is thinking about whether the problem of Cube's love to repurchase can be saved, at least don't let beast and Yin Doujun, who was tricked, ran to the waiting room of other singers and made a circle to connect with each other, walked in: "Everyone get up, we will be together soon!" Awarded."

Popularity and Divine Comedy are always hard currencies. Negative news such as "Oil Boys" did not bring much negative impact to Beast. On the other hand, it is showing the trend of attendance. Cube's rough approach to buybacks really made the members of Beast a little uncomfortable, but except for Zhang Xianyu, no one took it to heart when the situation was so good.

However, beast's journey of "advancing to the front line" may be doomed to some twists and turns. On this day, Li Qiguang, who was summoned by Yin Doujun again, was frowning about how to wake up Zhang Xianyu, a problem that had existed since the trainee period. Long Junheng Photos with Goo Hora were posted online.

"What? Was it photographed?" Surprised, Li Qiguang did not forget his current job, "Xian Jiao, wake up, Jun Heng and Goo Hora were photographed."

As a result, Zhang Xianyu let out an "oh" and turned over again.

Li Qiguang: I'll go, are you still sleeping? ! ! ! !

In the end, Li Qiguang had to pull Yin Doujun back to help. Yin Doujun just got the latest news from the company. After entering the room, Yin Doujun patted Zhang Xianyu's face with the back of his hand: "Junheng's matter is about to be made public."

"Open love?" Half asleep and half awake, Zhang Xianyu was still in a daze.

"Yes."

"It's not a scandal, is it?"

"Will not."

"That's good." Zhang Xianyu responded briefly, and then fell asleep again.

I shouldn't expect a guy who doesn't even take his popularity seriously to worry about whether others will lose fans because of love... Yin Doujun gritted his teeth and was forced to use the traditional trick: scratching the soles of his feet.

"Hahahaha, don't scratch Doujun." Under Yin Doujun's offensive, Zhang Xianyu had to roll and shrink himself into a ball, "Can you help me get a cold towel?"

"Humph", in the end the traditional tricks were still useful, Yin Doujun said he had nothing to say, "Wait a minute...Qiguang, stare at him".

When Quan Junjian ran to the dormitory to check the status of the members and bring someone to post an announcement, he happened to bump into Zhang Xianyu who was wandering into the bathroom like a ghost with a white towel covering his face.

Quan Junjian: ...you are really calm.

Decisively called Zhang Xianyu to confirm: "Xianjian, have you heard the news?"

"News?" Zhang Xianyu took off the towel, "I heard it".

Long Junheng came out of the house at this time, his complexion was not very good, he was obviously frightened enough by the "surprise" in the early morning, just seeing Zhang Xianyu like this, he couldn't help but have the same thought as Quan Junjian , "Xian Jiao, you are not surprised at all," he said with a wry smile.

"The company has coordinated with dsp so quickly, and decided to admit it to the outside world. It should be a little psychologically prepared before." Zhang Xianyu turned his head and said to Long Junheng, "It may not be so bad for you to be open."

Even if you haven't experienced this incident, you can see some clues after seeing so many examples of idols falling in love publicly.For example, in the case of being photographed getting along intimately and cannot deny it, the general company has to confirm with the artist first, or delay the time to write a speech.I admitted it as soon as it was photographed, even if it wasn't hype, there was still some willingness to hype it.

"You reacted very quickly this time?" Long Junheng said.

Zhang Xianjue gave his teammates the impression that he is not good at getting along with people, but he understands the general environment very clearly. In addition, his reaction is relatively slow-he can’t speak. He is stupid, even if he is well protected in the cube, he has not personally experienced the strife at the bottom of the entertainment industry, and he has immersed himself for more than [-] years in his previous life, and he has the ability to predict. In this life, he sees many things in the industry very clear.As for the speed of response, it is actually caused by the caution brought about by lack of self-confidence.

"I thought about it before." Zhang Xianyu replied casually, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.

beast people: I almost forgot that he is in the state of "belonging to himself" and "going to fall in love sooner or later"!

Long Junheng thinks a little more: I have made it public that even if he is in love under such circumstances, it is not good to expose him. Once he is photographed, he may have to break up...

Long Junheng, who accidentally opened his mind too much, shook his head, and decided to deal with Quan Junjian first. "It's hard for you, I didn't think about it that much." He raised his voice and said to Zhang Xianyu who was washing his face in the bathroom.

The corners of Zhang Xianyu's mouth curled up, and he covered his face with a towel soaked in cold water, so that his still numb thoughts could fully wake up.

He didn't think as much as Long Junheng - in his opinion, he and Kim Hyuna still have a long way to go, and he didn't have any thoughts about whether this relationship was finally photographed and made public.

Anyway, no negative effects.

Compared with its Asian neighbors, South Korean public opinion is much stricter on public figures.But there are some truths that are also true in this country, such as being more tolerant of capable people.Long Junheng participated in the production of beast's regular series, which received rave reviews. Being in love is not an unreasonable thing. Even the reason that "a group with such a bad strength is not stable enough to think about falling in love" is useless. Naturally, there will be no other At most, some people looked at the photo and thought it was too good-looking, and put forward the term "hype", but that has nothing to do with Long Junheng.

Fans need a little more trouble, Cube received a protest call from an elementary school, saying that after hearing the news of the relationship, the students were so sad that they cried and had no intention of studying (...), and it reached Beast's ears, and they didn't know what to lament. Children are too precocious at the beginning of the year, and the age group of fans of beast is still relatively low.However, apart from this farce, there was no major protest. This is due to Long Junheng's positioning as a "player". Everyone knows that Long Junheng is a natural hooker, and has a lot of female and male friends. , A guy who goes to other houses to do feat all day long, and probably needs real experience to provide inspiration for his songwriting, falling in love is a matter of time.As for Goo Hora, the most impressive thing about her not being innocent and cute in Korea is the cold joke in "Invincible Youth", which is not the type that Korean men like. Japanese otaku fans responded quite well, and Korean Not much movement here.

Thus, beast Long Junheng and kara Goo Hora, an idol couple who both belong to popular and popular groups, were officially born with the blessings of many people.

No matter how many factors have influenced the publicity of this relationship and the current situation, its existence is very special and remarkable.Goo Hora's group kara has just experienced the turmoil of termination of the contract. It is not suitable for too much exposure, and her roots are in Japan, and she is not active in Korea at the moment. Beast is still very popular during the promotion period. The group will appear on variety shows or accept interviews together. At that time, Long Junheng sadly became the main focus of the host.

If you don't seize the opportunity to ask something now, do you have to wait until the promotion period is over for people to retreat and write songs in the recording studio again?

"Xianxi, do the members of beast know about Jun Hengxi's love affair?" When the group was being interviewed, Zhang Xianxi would often be in a daze or sweep the prepared food on the table. Unexpectedly, the reporter would ask Long Junheng this time. Then ask him directly.

Yin Doujun's eyebrows moved.

News in the entertainment industry can spread very quickly. For example, Zhang Xianyu's performance in an interview can be summed up as "speaking a bit straight, thinking a bit strange, and speaking a little less". The reporter obviously hit the first point by doing this.

Zhang Xianyu swallowed the juice in his mouth, "I found out after the photos came out, and, that..." His expression was a little uncertain, "Didn't this question be answered by Dou Jun?"

"You can come too." Yin Doujun patted Zhang Xianyu on the shoulder, and nodded to him.

Regarding the matter of Long Junheng, the company has already arranged a set of rhetoric. It is very common for artists to say polite words or lies to the camera. Yin Doujun doesn't really want Zhang Xianzhen to do this, but there will always be him The impossible happens.

"Didn't Jun Hengxi tell you about the relationship before?"

"This kind of thing will only be told to friends when it has progressed to a certain stage, right?" Zhang Xianyu asked sincerely, "It didn't take long for Junheng to confirm the relationship."

"Are you envious of Jun Hengxi's public relationship?" The reporter asked again.

"Yes, he has received a lot of blessings. If one day I can get blessings from fans when I am in love, it must be very good." Zhang Xianzhen made a wish.

"Seeing Jun Hengxi falling in love, do you have any thoughts of falling in love?"

"I think falling in love is not a matter of looking for someone to be with when you see someone is happy," Zhang Xianzhen said seriously, "Meet the right person at the right time, and then it will start naturally."

"Before that, you should know a few more girls." Yin Doujun decided to end the topic, hooked Zhang Xianyu's neck, and sold his teammates to the reporter, "Except for Xianjiao, there is no female artist I know."

Did you forget that he likes members!Long Junhyung, who was still thinking "Will it affect the future happiness of my teammates if I disclose it?" almost kicked Yoon Doojun.

Even though the love affair didn't have much impact on him, and the impact on the group was negligible, Long Junheng still felt a little sorry.

Although there is not much trouble, if he had been more careful in the beginning, this trouble could have been avoided.

Returning to the company after the interview, after the nanny car stopped, Long Junhyung finally tactfully mentioned the question "When are you going to chase after Kim Hyuna" to Zhang Xianyu.

Zhang Xianzhuo stared at Long Junheng for a long time, he didn't realize what Long Junheng was thinking until this time, he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded by his teammates' "foresight": "First promote this album well before we talk about it."

He pulled up the hood, opened the car door, jumped out of the car briskly, put his hands in his pockets, and walked casually towards the company door. Long Junheng followed him and got in through the company's back door together.

"Look, the company repurchased it first, and then you fell in love, but we have strength, the songs are popular, and the popularity is rising. These have become trivial things and can't shake us. Fans", Zhang Xianyu said here, suddenly stopped, looked around secretly, and said with a smile, "I don't need to say it next."

Long Junheng: ... Do you know how much image you lose when you suddenly change your style of painting into a sneaky one?

Chicken soup for the soul, can you not just throw it away halfway?

Don't want others to know about your crush?There are ghosts at a glance, okay!

He complained countless times in his heart, but in the end Long Junheng still bowed down to Zhang Xianjue's jumping thinking: "Okay, let's climb to the top together first."

"The tone is quite loud." Zhang Xianjue smiled, turned his head and started walking again, heading for the practice room.

It's really difficult to speak with peace of mind when you're hiding something from the people around you.

He sighed inwardly.
