Chapter 855: The Big Melee in the Music Industry in May
In mid-May, Tiffany started her solo singing career with her solo album. With the name of Girls' Generation, Tiffany ranked first on many Korean music charts on the day the album was released. And it also won the first place on the album charts of many countries. Tiffany prepared and completed her first solo with great care, and the rest had to be left to the market.
Zhang Pingan knew very well that although Tiffany's comeback album this time was also good, it was much worse than Taeyeon's "I". It's not that Tiffany is not as good at singing as Taeyeon, maybe it's really because of the song selection?
In fact, Zhang Pingan thinks that Tiffany's voice is not distinctive, because there are really too many idols in the music industry who can sing better than Tiffany, and she just took advantage of the name "Girls' Generation".
Because Zhang Pingan always feels that this kind of dance music mode may sound good when you listen to it three or five times when it's new, but it doesn't sound so good after listening to it too much. Just like the playlist stored in the mobile phone, there are some energetic songs and dances at the beginning, but the playlist has been listened to for a long time. Those exciting songs gradually became the "next song" in the playlist, and the most popular songs are still lyrical ones!
Today is the first song promotion after Tiffany released her album, "M!CD". Zhang Pingan came to Korea quietly on this day. Although Tiffany did not say that she hoped Zhang Pingan would come to her live to cheer her up after the release, Zhang Pingan felt that he should come. After all, the relationship between the two is unclear, so Zhang Pingan does not need to avoid suspicion.
In Incheon, Zhang Pingan was very low-key when entering the customs, a white cotton casual shirt, because the temperature in Seoul in May is already around 23 degrees during the day, and it is even higher in the sun. So Zhang Pingan rolled up his sleeves when wearing a casual shirt, and a new watch appeared on his wrist, Richard Miller white ceramic RM030!
Of course, the price of this brand alone is very expensive. So when Zhang Pingan appeared with his sleeves rolled up, many reporters squatting at the airport gate began to take photos of Zhang Pingan's watch. With a simple and refreshing early summer outfit and a super expensive watch, Zhang Pingan's fashion taste was also praised by some magazines.
White casual shirt, black casual pants, and a pair of white shoes from luxury brands are indeed refreshing. And this kind of dress is very suitable for Zhang Pingan's comfortable and handsome face. When he came out of the airport, he got on a nanny car that came to pick him up.
However, the car that came to pick up Zhang Pingan was BTS's exclusive car, and they didn't have so much time recently, because the title song "FIRE" of the album in early May was released, just like the beginning of the lyrics, it caught fire! Yes, the instantly ignited BTS actually won the top spot on the US iTunes MV list with this song this time!
It's popular, completely popular, because it has topped the list in the United States, and the Korean media has also praised BTS. Originally, before this song, BTS was only a second-tier boy band, but once this song came out, it completely ignited their enthusiasm. BTS became very busy. They had to take care of overseas concerts, film group variety shows, and also film music shows!
Mamamu, won the first place in March with the song "You Are Perfect", and they also won the love of countless people. Then in May, BTS soared to the sky, and even had a trend of competing with EXO and others.
Because the number of their fans registered every day is several thousand.
Uh, this number may sound childish in China. But in South Korea, the total population is only 50 million, and at least half of them don't like male idols. And you need to pay to register as a fan of the official fan club. Of course, the benefits of the official fan club are not to be mentioned, that is, you can go to the scene to cheer for BTS, which is also a close contact.
The first half of the year in the Korean entertainment industry can be said to be a fruitful year for Zhang Pingan. One "PD101" two TV series, and two groups under the company are also loved by the public. Isn't this a harvest year? Although it is not the half-year summary in June yet, many media have calculated that in the first half of the year, Zhang Pingan's agency has made a total profit of at least 80 billion won! Yes, at least!
Two TV series, one is "Signal" with high reputation and ratings, and the other is "Descendants of the Sun" which makes a lot of money, and the unlimited voting in the variety show "PD101" is also super money-making. Especially when the ratings of "Descendants" exceeded 30%, his investment in the TV series was earned back by product placement. You must know that this does not count the advertising income and overseas copyright income from other broadcasts!
So many media feel that calling the first half of this year "Zhang Pingan's first half of the year" is not an exaggeration at all.
.......
After coming out of the airport, Zhang Pingan didn't care too much about the media's interpretation of his fashionable clothes. He went directly because not only did Pani participate in singing today, but the children of Zhang Pingan's family also participated in singing. Moreover, Zhang Ping'an knows one thing, that is, although Pani's return has won one place on the music chart, her songs did not dominate the charts for too long.
Because the comeback time in May this year is too intense, not only BTS, but also the super powerful "Rabbit Gas" also made a comeback. The competition on the singing stage in May is really fierce, and Pani's personal number of fans is not as high as Taeyeon's. so..
Take the music chart as an example. Although Pani temporarily reached the top spot when it was released, it has not been able to top the list since then. After all, there are so many fans of BTS and BTS. However, Girls’ Generation fans’ support for Pani is not as strong as when they supported Taeyeon’s singing career!
The battle between fans is no joke. Anyway, it’s about comparing which family has more wealthy fans. After all, it’s a waste of money to compete in the rankings! However, Pani's personal fans are not as good as Taeyeon's, so she was squeezed out of this war in the music industry. Of course, in terms of audio downloads, Pani's album performance is not bad. At least it has ranked first in the iTunes album rankings in other countries!
And iTunes is a place to pay to listen to music!
Zhang Ping'an sat in the nanny's car and asked his agent: "The popularity of children has been growing very fast recently. I have even applied to join the official cafe. The number of fans is increasing day by day!"
The manager smiled and nodded and said: "Everything is due to you, the representative and the president. It is really not easy for the children to work hard and persist in their own music model until today."
Because all the agencies on the market think it is stupid to let idols stick to their own style. After all, the purpose of creating an artist is to make money. The fact that there was not much improvement once or twice shows that they may not be suitable for this style. So generally speaking, when a brokerage company discovers that it fails to start, it will immediately arrange to change its style.
After all, a management company is not a charity. If an artist's album fails, the loss will be huge. Money, time, and sweat!
However, both Zhang Pingan and Bang Si Hyuk insisted on letting BTS come out with their own style, even if they didn't make any money at the beginning, and even if the company made a huge loss for them to produce the album. But both of them believe that one day, they will succeed. I just didn’t expect that this year, it would finally catch fire!
Zhang Ping'an nodded and smiled and said: "May is very exciting. Many artists are scheduled to return in May. How about Tuvasi?"
The manager sighed and said: "It's really amazing. This time Tuvas has knocked down Pani from No. 1 on the music chart. Their fans are really too powerful! There is no other girl group except Among Girls' Generation, only I.O.I produced by President You can compete with them in terms of popularity. You know, "Girlfriend" is far behind Tuvasi, who only debuted a year ago! "
Rabbit Gas can be said to be the girl group that Park Jin Young’s company has put all their efforts into creating, because MISS.A is already in name only. Now the company basically won't invest any resources in them. Of course, Pei Xiuzhi doesn't need the company's resources, because she is a resource in her own right! As for the other three members... they are basically invisible. Fei went to several episodes of Yoo Jae Suk's show some time ago, but her personal effects are much worse than Cao Lu. Recently, she is unemployed. Got it!
When listening to the BTS manager excitedly talking about Rabbit Gas, Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "You are not a fan of Rabbit Gas, are you?"
"Hey!" The agent touched his nose awkwardly. It seems to be very common for agents to become fans of other companies, such as Hunter, who is actually a fan of Hong Beibei. A signed album by Hong Beibei that Zhang Pingan asked for some time ago was placed in his new home. When Li Zhien saw it, he asked for it directly, saying that he wanted to give it to Hunter.
Because Li Zhien knows that Zhang Pingan and Hong Beibei have a good relationship, and Zhang Pingan has expressed many times that among the new generation of girl groups, Hong Beibei is his personal favorite. So Li Zhien thought it was very simple for Zhang Ping'an to want their signed album, and he could get it just by asking Girls' Generation.
The only way for Hunter to get Hong Beibei's signed album is to wait for Li Zhien and Hong Beibei to meet while singing. Because only then will Hong Beibei come to deliver signed albums!
