The Rise of Korean Entertainment

It's troublesome to release an album, but it's actually not complicated at all. Find a song, record the song, shoot the music video, and then burn the disc and sell it. Isn't it very simple?

You don’t even have to be a celebrity. An album is different from a movie. As long as ordinary people are willing to spend money, anyone can release it. It’s just a matter of whether it can be sold in the end.

Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon's solo plans have been planned for a long time, so they are very familiar with the preparations. The album is scheduled to be officially released in less than two weeks. The time may seem a bit rushed, but from all aspects, they are well prepared. perfect.

Lee Soon Kyu and Lee Sun Kyu didn't say much. They knew that the company would have its own schedule. Besides, this solo album didn't actually have much success. It was just an attempt for Girls' Generation's solo, and the two of them could only sing songs. Just for half a month.

Even though they said that, as the first group of singers and girls to come out with a solo, the two of them were under a bit of pressure. Who doesn’t want to sell more albums? So when the album was about to go on sale, the two of them were on the radio station. I also feel uneasy.

Fortunately, Seohyun's performance is as stable as ever. This is also the norm within Girls' Generation. The maknae has the appearance of a big sister: "Welcome everyone to listen to Seo Hyun's music back garden on time. Today's guest is Taeyeon of Girls' Generation , sunny!”

"Hey, don't you know you call me Ernie? It's not polite!"

"But you are the guests and I am the host?" Xu Xian replied depressedly.

"Then you have to call us seniors?" Kim Taeyeon helped.

"Well, anyway, the solo albums of the two seniors will be released tonight. Our program will be exclusively broadcast globally before the official release at 12 o'clock. If you want to hear the singing of the two seniors in advance, you must lock the FM! "Xu Xian said like an experienced driver.

Xu Xian was the host of today's broadcast. It happened that the album was about to go on sale, so he roped in these two people to promote their own show. The two of them were extremely smart in their calculations.

"Seniors, some viewers asked why the album was not pre-sold this time!"

"You have to ask Li Menglong about this. We are just little idols and our words are useless!" Kim Taeyeon is still a little depressed when talking about this.

For popular singers, pre-sales are a good way to guarantee the album's bottom line, and can even roughly estimate the final sales. However, Li Menglong chose not to use it this time, and everyone can only buy it after it is officially on sale.

As for Lee Mong-ryong's reason, it is simple. The pre-sales cannot show the creativity of this album, that is, relying on the popularity of Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon-gyu to sell their respective albums, which is seriously inconsistent with the initial positioning.

So although there were voices of protest, Li Menglong suppressed them forcefully. I don’t know how many times Kim Taeyeon gave Li Menglong a blank look in the past two days. In addition, as the song's release date approaches, Lee Soon Kyu feels closer and closer to being embarrassed, so he recently entered menopause early.

If it weren't for the fact that there were Xu Xian and Yoona in the dormitory who could tease Li Menglong a little, he really couldn't stay in this troubled home, or he was about to fight back. These two girls can't bully honest people like this. !

Li Menglong was still accompanying them outside, and occasionally had to give some water, manuscripts, etc. to a few people. As for thanking them better, he just rolled his eyes, and if he didn't like them, he would kick them. If he wasn't doing a show, Li Menglong would really fight back.

As the time gradually approached twelve o'clock, the radio was already preparing to play the two's songs, and the fried chicken restaurant on the first floor of SW was also listening to the radio simultaneously, and the store was full of people.

There are still many die-hard fans of Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu, especially since there is no pre-sale this time, so these people strongly requested SW to give them a channel to get the physical album as soon as possible, so SW now has There was a huge crowd.

The fans are actually very happy. Let’s not talk about the album. Now it’s like a big gathering of fans. Everyone eats fried chicken, listens to the radio, and discusses the album that will be released in a while. It’s very relaxing.

Qiu Xiaoying was also among them. She had begged her mother for a long time before she got this opportunity. This was also a party held in SW, and her mother only let her come because she felt it was safe. Otherwise, she would still want to go out in the middle of the night? Just dream.

"We don't have a physical album now, but we do have a singer, so let's ask Sunny to sing her latest single live for us!" Xu Xian looked at the time and said.

Lee Soon Kyu licked his dry lips. It was quite embarrassing to sing in front of Lee Meng Yong. When he thought about letting everyone hear it, Lee Soon Kyu regretted it again. Why did he write this lyrics?

But now that the music has been played, she has no other choice. Fortunately, as a singer with rich stage experience, her ability to adjust is unparalleled. She can sing the song "First Love" hundreds of times.

"Is this a trot?" Fans who stayed at SW immediately discussed it. They really didn't expect that Lee Soon Kyu would find a new way to create a song of this style.

But the song is a good song, even if it’s a trot! Many people recognized this. As for the content of the lyrics, many people showed ambiguous smiles. It was obvious who was singing it.

No one is disgusted with this couple spreading some dog food, and they even have some vague expectations. It has to be said that Li Menglong and his wife are very successful in managing their fans.

But Lee Soon Kyu's voice aroused her heart. Seeing that there were still twenty minutes until 12 o'clock, these people became restless. Since SW was going to give them the album at 12 o'clock, it meant that the ready-made album was in the company. In.

So I don’t know who took the lead, but the entire hall on the first floor was shouting: “Give us the album immediately!”

Li Enxi was sitting in the company tonight, so he had a headache when he heard the voice below. He was afraid of causing some group incident, so he waved his hand impatiently and signaled to start selling. It didn't take long to advance anyway.

Fans just like the atmosphere of SW. From top to bottom, they don’t treat them as fools. Instead, they are friends who respect each other. So when they saw someone walking down with a box, the fans calmed down and started spontaneously. Standing in line with cash in hand.

Qiu Xiaoying took advantage of her small size and jumped directly to the first place. She held up the 50,000 won in her hand and didn't even care about the change from the boss lady. She couldn't wait to find the album that seemed to be still warm in her hand. Sat down at a table.

The album is much thicker than ordinary albums. After all, they are two independent albums. Xiaoying naturally bought both of them.

The two sides of the album are the covers of Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soonkyu respectively. Kim Taeyeon is bathing in the sunset, with the charming seaside scenery in the background. She is as beautiful as a goddess; while Lee Soonkyu on the back is against the morning light, making people feel a little vague. Her face couldn't be seen clearly, but her heartfelt happiness was overflowing.

The covers were beyond beautiful. Xiaoying carefully opened the two albums, which were similar to a hinge structure. The two albums were cleverly connected together and spread out on the table like open books.

After opening, there is a somewhat illusory scene of the two driving each other, looking at each other and high-fiving each other. The album can be separated, but the location where the two people's hands meet is where the album is opened, which feels like they are breaking up.

Xiaoying really had nothing to say about this idea. It was probably the president Oppa who came up with it. She muttered to herself, but the album still needs to be opened to get the CD inside.

As if she had bought a toy, Xiaoying continued to study and soon discovered that there was a small circular groove in the middle of the two albums. Each album occupied half of it. She pressed it carefully and turned it around. I actually took out a small 8cm disc, which is the kind of small round disc that is occasionally used in computers.

This CD is equivalent to a lock. After taking it off, you can open the two albums. Inside are some photos of Kim Taeyeon and the full faces of the CDs.

Since everyone came here in the middle of the night to watch the purchase, they naturally wanted to see the content as soon as possible, so there were many people with computers. Lee Soon Kyu's song had just been heard on the radio, so Xiaoying played Kim Taeyeon's song.

This song by Kim Taeyeon was also chosen from thousands of people. The high note at the beginning made everyone feel as if they were in the vast sky: "The sky spreading sunshine, the children under the sky, flying like a dream..."

The surprises are not over yet. Although there is no direct video, Li Menglong’s rap is still very recognizable, especially for fans of these girls. Moreover, Xiaoying’s mother is also a die-hard fan of Li Menglong, so every minute He recognized him.

"The tears you shed and all the suffering you experienced are just preparations to fly higher, Butterfly!" Li Menglong's rap surprised everyone a little, and it matched well with Kim Taeyeon's high-pitched voice. Of.

Since someone is playing Kim Taeyeon's "I" here, there is naturally someone playing "Lee Soon Kyu's First Love" over there. Especially since the plot is a bit straightforward, in contrast, it is very easy to find the connection between the two MVs.

But after watching it, I always felt that something was missing. The most important key or connection in the middle was not revealed. It happened that Kim Taeyeon also finished singing her song on the radio: "I hope everyone can support me and Sunny." I will try my best to bring you better music with my new album!"

Her thoughts were temporarily interrupted, but Xiaoying always felt that something was wrong, and her eyes inadvertently looked at the 8cm mini-disc that acted as a lock on the side. It was the same as an ordinary disc, but the capacity was much smaller.

I put the mini-disc in the computer, and the pictures were indeed released. They were not so-called highlights, but supplements between the two MVs. Accompanied by the faint sound of the waves, there were beautiful pictures of the two of them that looked like promotional posters. Short film.

However, there is a slightly blurred back figure of a man in it, which completely changes the meaning of the clip. In front of Kim Taeyeon who is running, there is actually a man waving to her, and in the hand of Lee Soonkyu who is confiding, there is actually a man in front of her. There is a photo with the back of a man on it...
