The Rise of Korean Entertainment

It is said that the support of fans in Korea is almost an assembly line operation. Once the album is released, there is no need to organize anything. Fans only need to do their own things step by step. I have to say that although it seems a bit rigid, at least it is It can be regarded as one of the signs of the maturity of the entertainment industry.

After all, fan culture also needs to be cultivated, and it is a subtle process that cannot be rushed. This is why the Japanese music market occupies a place throughout Asia and even the world.

Isn’t this because Japanese music is so high-end, or that the mainstream music in Europe and the United States is the same at this point, and other countries really can’t write those songs? Not really.

The main reason lies in the audience, fans, that is, the market. Why is European and American music the mainstream in the world? Because the audiences and fans in Europe and the United States are rich, they will buy genuine albums as long as they like them, and buy tickets to listen to concerts if they have nothing to do. In such a large market, mainstream music is everywhere.

Japan is similar to Europe and the United States. Overall, fans have a high level of support for genuine music. This is why Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 1980s and even now South Korea are willing to enter Japan. It is really profitable. You can make a living as a music veteran. Why not go and make money honestly?

Although the fan support culture is very mature, the so-called counter-support from idols is quite rare, especially in South Korea. As for the core reason, it really makes sense. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money.

Newcomers who have just debuted may not have been polluted by the circle, so they may not want to give back to the fans. But it is a pity that they have no money. Not to mention those who have just debuted, even those who have debuted for almost ten years still have no money. Money.

However, although it is difficult for idols to make money, there are some who are successful. However, most of them have become veterans in the circle by that time. At that time, it cannot be said that they have no intention of repaying their fans, but they want to make them passionate. Returning is not that easy.

Putting aside everything else, you must consider the impact of this so-called reverse support. How many copies of this gift should be prepared? It is unrealistic to give it to all fans, but what will it say to other fans if you give some of it? As for the price of the gift You also have to struggle with it. If it's too cheap, it's easy to say it's insincere, and if it's too expensive, it's just a show of wealth. And pressure from peers, companies, and even within the circle is a problem.

Although there are many difficulties, there is still a chance if you work hard, but few people will expend such effort. As for now, it is just a temporary idea of ​​​​Li Menglong. He didn't think about it that much. He just felt that the fans had worked hard. He came to support them. As the girls' manager and boss, it made perfect sense for him to show off.

As for the so-called gossip, forget it. Li Menglong himself is very indifferent. I guess those online trolls are too lazy to criticize him. Internet fees are money, and girls may have some rhythm, but with them At this time, the size and popularity are basically relatively stable as long as they don't annoy their fans.

In this case, he was ready to start giving away the gifts, but Li Menglong was not in a hurry to say it. After all, it was somewhat unfair for him to do such a thing, so it was better to wait for the girls to come over and discuss it with them.

Fans naturally don’t know that Li Menglong has thought so much. They are just staring at the fried chicken in the pot and drooling. By the way, 99% of the long-cherished fans at the scene have visited the shop of the proprietress. After all, it is also one of their bases. In the past, it was particularly suitable for staying, socializing, or simply chatting.

However, there were several other fans at the scene. This was the first time they smelled the delicious smell of fried chicken. How could they not drool? Even though there were so many things to eat at the scene, Li Menglong’s fried chicken food truck was... Firmly occupying the center of the crowd.

In fact, Li Menglong underestimated the taste of the boss lady's exclusive fried chicken. Not only the people on the scene were drooling, but even the crew not far away were affected. The group of people filming in the middle were okay, at least It can be said that he is undistracted, but there are still people on the scene who are trying to make a fuss.

Jessica was dozing around with a bunch of idlers, and suddenly her delicate nose twitched. Speaking of which, she was familiar with the taste. After all, she had eaten it many times, but why was it here? Smell it here? It's not like you're hallucinating!

Just when Jessica was doubting herself, there was a sound of stomach growling around her, which proved that the smell was real. Jessica's originally squinted eyes suddenly widened to their maximum size, scanning everywhere like a radar. , trying to find the source of this smell.

Not to mention their performance, the filming location was not particularly smooth either. Of course, it was not because of the so-called taste. With Seohyun sitting here, everyone was not so open-minded.

Maybe before the shooting, there were some small thoughts, thinking about restraining oneself so as not to cause any misunderstandings to Seohyun on the set, but when it came to filming, everyone knew that they were overthinking, and they really ignored Seohyun's learning from Li Menglong. process.

I don’t blame everyone. After all, people like Yoona and Yuri who have been in contact with the two of them on the same crew would not have thought of how seriously Xu Xian studied and how practical Li Menglong taught. In short, on the set, Xu Xian It’s the smaller Li Menglong.

In addition, the group of people at the scene were greeted by Li Menglong several times, and no one dared to contradict him. As a result, this place became Xu Xian's talking point. It was obviously time for lunch. , but the scene is still being filmed over and over again.

Of course, all old people are mentally prepared for this scene. Although there is no clear statement, it is necessary to polish the temperament of the actors on the first day of shooting. A director without any ability is just to show off his power, like After all, Xu Xian also learned from Li Menglong, and she is really not very satisfied with the actor's condition now.

Although she had seen everyone's performances more or less before, she always felt that it was not the same when it came to the camera. The key was that Xu Xian couldn't tell what went wrong, so she could only let it go over and over again. The actors grind.

Fortunately, Yoona and Park Ji-yeon are on top now. Both of them have a lot of experience in filming. The main thing is that Yoon-a can tolerate Seohyun. As for Park Ji-yeon, she sees Yoona, a "senior" in acting, acting honestly. He was obedient, so she could only follow.

But at this moment, the smell of fried chicken wafted over, and Park Ji-yeon swallowed subconsciously. This action was quite cute in daily life, but it was abrupt enough in the camera, especially in this situation.

After all, Yoona has been with so many crews and has known Xu Xian for many years. She immediately realized that Xu Xian was going to get angry. The reasons were all ready-made. As for whether she should scold him or not, forget it. Well, the director is indeed so domineering on set.

If the person sitting opposite is Lee Mong-ryong, then Yoon-a won’t be able to speak and just act like a cat. Otherwise, she might even scold herself, but Seohyun still has to exercise some restraint. This is considered an actor. It's a kind of check and balance between the director and the director, at least to make the set less awkward.

As a result, Xu Xian was greeted by Yoona as soon as he stood up. She didn't even give her Xu Xian a chance to face Park Ji Yeon: "Director Xu, our lunch time has been a long time. We are not hungry, but the food outside is There are so many fans here, we can’t keep them waiting for too long!”

If it were a director with a normal academic background, who would care about the fans outside, but Xu Xian was different. She knew very well how hard the fans worked when they supported her, so she swallowed her words and just waved her hand to signal everyone to leave. Come on.

After getting the signal, the place immediately became lively. As for Xu Xian, most people would not dare to come over. Fortunately, the girls stayed here to prevent this problem. A group of people went over to either analyze or make jokes. Among them, Pani was still hesitant to tell Li Menglong. After all, they were really powerless in many professional situations.

But Xu Xian herself was strong enough. In fact, after she calmed down, she knew that she was a little impatient. In fact, before today, she kept reminding herself that she and Li Menglong were different after all, and they couldn't just learn from each other.

Just like what happened just now, it doesn't matter if it's done by Li Menglong. Firstly, his identity is enough to suppress the situation. Secondly, he probably knows where the problem lies and can at least give the actors some hints.

But Seohyun is just imitating it. Now that she thinks about it, what she should do most is to call the actors over to discuss it together. If it still doesn't work, she may have to find foreign aid or something, otherwise she will be stuck here and can't solve the problem. , and made everyone very embarrassed.

"Unnies don't have to worry about me, Yoona and Unnie too. Let's discuss what the problem is after dinner. If we don't succeed, we can only wait until we go back to consult Menglong oppa in the evening." Xu Xian is here Bian said seriously, she didn't want the Unnies to worry too much about her.

After saying this, the scene immediately felt a lot more relaxed. Although the problem has not been solved yet, at least Xu Xian is in good condition: "What are you waiting for tonight? Just call him and call him over later. No need to do that." Polite!"

What the girls said was heroic. Anyway, you don’t need to be so cautious with Li Menglong. You just have to agree to some of his conditions. In that case, let’s fill your stomach first. By the way, everyone is familiar with the smell of fried chicken. Woolen cloth.

"Isn't this just the fans calling for fried chicken? This can be regarded as taking care of the business of my own company. I'll go back to the boss lady and ask for the kickback!" The girls came out jokingly and were surprised to see the lively scene. , I didn’t expect the fans to make it feel like a food festival.

However, one of the stalls was surrounded very tightly. Fortunately, Li Menglong was taller because he was standing in the car. Besides, you could hear his voice from a long distance away: "Don't crowd, everyone coming from behind." Are they from the crew? I’m talking about you, leave now!”

One sentence made everyone at the scene confused. Isn't this a food truck sent by fans? Aren't they giving free food to the crew? Is Li Menglong here to set up a stall? Is it possible that he still needs to collect money?

Don't tell me, these people at least guessed Li Menglong's previous thoughts correctly, but now Li Menglong has changed his mind: "Go and call me two of the girls inside. I can't do this alone." of."

"Who are you calling them specifically?" Fans asked timidly. After all, not everyone is so familiar with the girls.

"Just call whoever is idle there. Don't be afraid of them, just say it's me who said it!"

The girls who heard this sentence wanted to curse. Fortunately, they heard it at the scene, otherwise they would not know that Li Menglong was pretending to be like this in private. However, he still had to give some face. The crowd had already walked in. But help can wait a little longer. First, we need to ask the crew for an explanation: "Why can't the crew eat this fried chicken?"

Li Menglong immediately became happy when he saw these girls. He first pointed at the fried chicken he had fished out and asked them to break it down and bag it. Then he explained: "I'm not your fan, and I'm not here to support you." Yes, why do you want to give your crew free food?"

"What are you doing here if you're not here to support us?" This question is probably what many people want to ask out loud. After all, Li Menglong's purpose is getting more and more weird.

Fortunately, Li Menglong had already thought of the reason. Although he didn't have time to communicate with the girls, he believed that these people would understand him. But before that, he had to find a lucky person. At this moment, Yoona was the only one. Go forward and help obediently. Don't worry about the bulging in her mouth. It's probably just a ball of air.

In this case, it would be easier for Yoona. Li Menglong directly pointed at Yoona with the tongs used for fried chicken: "Didn't Yoona tell you? She asked me specifically in the morning, saying that it was too hard for the fans to come to support you. , she ordered a fried chicken food truck to come here specifically to serve fans, and you don’t know what this is called reverse support?”

The girls were so cute at this moment. A bunch of them were shaking their heads in a daze, even Yoona. But what kind of reaction speed did this little girl have? Although I don’t know why such a good thing happened. It’s on my own head, but I agree first and then talk about it.

So Yoona immediately turned around and showed an "apologetic" smile to the girls. Then she held up the fried chicken in one hand and said, "That's right, how can we keep asking you to support us? You are also the most Dear fans, thank you for liking us among so many idols. I won’t say any more. Come and eat fried chicken!”

Following Yoona's words, the scene was about to burst into tears. Although it didn't reach the point of bursting into tears, many fans did have tears in their eyes. I could hear the idols saying thank you to them. After eating the fried chicken specially prepared for them by their idols, at least they were happy at this moment...
