Chapter 211 Time, environment, and meaning! (12.6k successful debt repayment)(2/2)
Jin Zhongming nodded, but held his arms in the cafeteria seat, and then sat down without saying a word.
By the way, he might have concealed something from Yoo Jae-suk just now, but his attitude was all sincere... In any case, now that Tara and Apink have collided, and some things have indeed caused career conflicts, he naturally cannot forcefully ignore it!
Because in that case, even if Chu Long himself doesn't speak, he will not be able to explain to the other party!
Just like this, after thinking about it for a long time, Jin Zhongming raised his hand and looked at his wristwatch. It was a gift from Chu Long to him on February 9th, Thursday, at 1:23 pm.
To count it... It seems that it is 23:23 pm on the 8th in the United States. Maomao said before that he was not interested, but he really was not interested!
"Get the first place this year!" At 4 pm, in the backstage standby room of MTV Channel, Park So-yeon, the new captain of the Korean female idol group Tara, raised his hand high to cheer his teammates. "February belongs to our Tara!"
"Oh!" The members around him shouted in a cheerful manner, but no one came to accompany the new Captain Park to make movements, but continued to play their own...
Zhaoyan had no choice but to act like a captain, but when she thought of the things she did when Xiaomin was the captain, she couldn't be tough at all, so she had to pout with grievance, but after a while, she also made a fuss with Xiaomin.
By the way, it is not in vain that the members of Tara are so confident and relaxed. In fact, since their debut in 2009, as the first group of those teams to break through the siege, and have experienced enough accumulation, they have now reached their peak moment.
Moreover, although Kim Kwang-soo is doing things to make money again this time... Well, there are eight songs in a mini album, five of which are old songs. However, no matter how bad this method of raising money is, it cannot withstand the title song "loveydovey" prepared by Shinshadong Tiger for them. It's so interesting! The electronic lub style has a trace of retro melody, which makes people feel unburdened. In addition, Tara is the king of Korean girl group music sources, so as soon as it was released, it immediately became very popular.
In addition, the famous advertising director Che Enze personally took charge of filming the MV, which was a coherent plot for them, and had a very interesting plot, and even prepared three versions. As soon as it was released, it immediately became the hottest topic now.
Of course, the most important thing is that at this moment, as the recognized second Korean girl group, who can stop them except for Girls' Generation? But where is Girls' Generation? The answer is that they are in the United States and will go to Europe soon... they can't get along.
So who is the so-called biggest opponent standing in front of Tara at this time? The answer is the girl group newcomer king who just debuted last year, apink.
To be honest, although apink is good, and the title song this time was also handed down by the poor Xinshadong Tiger, which sounds pretty good, but they are still young... Both sides are not of the same magnitude at all.
So, if you think about it carefully, the situation in Tara at this time seemed to be as good as the grand occasion of the exclusive market last month of Dog Day. However, can the combat effectiveness of Dog Day be comparable to that of the peak Tara?
Finally, I returned to my eyes. This is M, which is the parent company of CCM! The time, place and people are in harmony. Isn’t it okay to sweep him to a dozen or solo from here in February? In fact, even Liu Huaying, who is not very sociable, smiled a little more. Who can achieve this as soon as she debuted? What’s more, because of Kim Jong-ming’s request and Che Enze’s care, she had almost taken away Ji Yeon’s role in MV... Haha, how can she be unhappy?
"Speaking of it." Juli, who was applying her nails, suddenly thought of something. "Apink should come over to say hello in a while, right?"
The originally cheerful atmosphere in the standby room suddenly stopped. Eun-jeong and Ji-yeon, who were playing the couple's game, stopped in unison, and Hyo-min suddenly looked at Ju Li. The several dancers, makeup artists and assistants in the standby room looked over in surprise, not understanding the inexplicable atmosphere.
"Oh." Park Soo-yeon was also a little nervous at this time. "What's wrong, Ju Li, what do you want to do? Don't do stupid things!"
"What can I do? It's stupid?!" Ju Li regretted mentioning this topic, but she was speechless. "I just think I haven't seen this combination much... I'm a little curious, but you guys have reacted too much, right?"
"Actually... there is no need to have too many deliberate things." Xiaomin couldn't help but cough. "Of course there is no need to be nervous. Just treat it as an ordinary junior. Sister Zhaoyan and I are responsible for the reception, so don't make trouble..."
"There is no silver here." Juli immediately became speechless.
However, the awkward atmosphere flashed by. After a while, the Tara's standby room immediately became cheerful again. At the same time, in fact, the atmosphere on the Apink group's standby room was quite close to the Tara combination's standby room, the atmosphere on the apink group was completely opposite.
"Don't be nervous, kids." Choi Zhenhao smiled wryly at the 6 people of the apink, and was also reviewing the entire apink team in the standby room, and even himself. "The responsibility this time is all about me. Such a good song, but I didn't choose the right time... I don't hide it from you. "The Female President" in January is indeed rumored to exist in the girl's president, so other girl groups in January are not allowed to post songs for political considerations. It is precisely because of this that I made a gambling mistake and felt that the ban on posting songs immediately next to this time, and other families should have some concerns, so we will take advantage of the opportunity to get some spare time. Don't take one in a week, and it's already considered that we have no regrets for our new girl group. But I didn't expect... Someone is as fast as us, and it is the most powerful peak girl group on the market at present..."
"Actually, it's not a representative." The head of the director who was directly responsible for the operation of the album would naturally stand up and make a move for the immediate boss. "After all, even Tara, who would have thought that the other party's song would be so popular?"
"I need to review this." After hearing this comfort, Choi Jin-ho became even more serious. "Actually... I haven't heard some information about the movements of Tara and CCM, but I always look down on Kim Kwang-soo's operating level, reset version, Japanese version, and have no sincerity to fans every time. So this time, after I knew that the other party was a single packaged into an album, to be honest, I felt a little contemptuous in my heart, and felt that even Tara might not be able to hit it... In short, I said these words not to explain to anyone, because I am the representative of acube, and I am the general manager... I said this to tell you that no children should have a burden on this round of return to the song. After all, we are a new group, and there is no one, and we will watch it slowly over time! In three months, we will have a regular..."
"Representative Cui." Before Cui Zhenhao could continue speaking, the door of the standby room was suddenly unscrewed, and someone knocked on the door panel.
Choi Zhenhao, who has a rough personality, turned around impatiently, but immediately pressed his temper back because the person coming was Jia Chao, the driver of Apink. Although in theory, the other party was just a young boy under his command, Choi Zhenhao knew in his heart that if he really talked about the future, this young man might follow Kim Jong-ming to become a big man on his head, and there was no need to make a fuss with the other party.
"Please come here." Jia Chao was not polite. "Someone wants to see you."
Choi Zhenhao frowned slightly, but had to turn around and comfort him, and then followed the other party out of the standby room.
"Is there really no one?" As soon as the person left, Eundi couldn't help but hug Maine Nai Xia Rong's shoulder from behind, but he asked Nae Eun in front. "I remember when the album was released a few days ago, sales and sound source were the best..."
"What's the point? Didn't the Tara seniors post it all the time?" Naeon, who was not very lively, looked even more frowning now. "The sound source and album were all over the place."
"Actually." Mr. Pu Er pouted in dissatisfaction. "It would be great if he was playing sbs on Thursday. Maybe he could get one more first. After all, we posted it a day ago. If we really calculated the sales volume and the sound source... we might not lose, but who made this m? The opposite side was really stable!"
"Okay." It's fake to say that you don't feel depressed, but Chu Long, as the captain and the biggest one in the team, must take the lead in abandoning this inappropriate mood at this time. "Instead of thinking about this, it's better to be more prepared, maybe you can compete with the live broadcast scores and the program scores!"
"Do you believe Oni?" Nanzhu also felt a little aggrieved. "How could our fan bear win the opposite side when voting live? The program score is still the data on its own homepage, and they have the final say... In fact, just like Pu Mei Oni said, the audio source, album, and MV, because of the upload time, it may not be worse than the other variance, but the live broadcast score and the program score are 10% that cannot be competed for."
Chu Long opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know how to comfort the other party. Thank you for half a year... He has the strength of one, but he died of a car crash. Who is willing to do it? Even back to her own heart, even if she doesn't say it, she wants to counterattack Han Enjing once, okay?
However, after a while, Chu Long could only change the topic: "No matter how you adjust your emotions, we are newcomers, and the top 50 people on the list are here. Apart from the two main standby rooms, we have to visit at least twenty rooms. What's the point of pulling a face? First... go to the main standby room for a walk!"
No one looked at each other and said nothing, but they could only put away their emotions and walked out of the standby room with the captain and several assistants... The newcomers were so helpless. When Tara, who debuted in 2009, could play in the standby room, they could only say hello one hour in advance.
"No problem?" Seeing the backstage corridor with fifty groups of artists becoming lively, and apink even passed through the corridor not far away, Kim Kwang-soo finally closed the door and couldn't help but ask the show leader again.
"What's the problem?" The general pd of "m!ountdon" asked his old colleague speechlessly. "Lao Jin, what's the problem? Is the data here good? Is it good to place it here? It's not a fake! MV, audio source, album, there's no problem with the 80% score? These data are not what we got, but the data of the website itself. Then we divide the program into fairness and reasonableness. How about the 55th? Is it fair and reasonable? Then let fans vote, how? Isn't it convinced? This... This is actually extremely fair, okay? I have even arranged the best standby room for Apink according to your requirements, and treated it with our own best artist Tara. What else do you want?!"
"I actually know what you said, too." Kim Kwang-soo waved helplessly, and then sat back on a chair in the office. "But, doesn't this affect my guilt? You don't understand. I have been taking them in Japan before. I really don't know that Apink has to post songs, otherwise one or two will be given up one or two. Unexpectedly... I made an appointment with the manufacturer and the merchant and found out that I actually hit the person to death in the front..."
"I understand, too." The always-pd stood next to the desk with his arms in his arms. "It really makes people have ideas... If Kim Jong-ming thinks you are deliberately urging him, he will definitely not give you good fruits... But, it has been several days. Isn't he not very attitude? That kind of character is probably busy, so why would he care about such small things?"
"I hope so." Kim Kwang-soo laughed dryly, but something was hard to say to the other party. "To be honest, I also know that I am a little nervous. I really didn't expect that this song could be so popular!"
"Actually..." pd asked thoughtfully. "This song "lovey-dovey" is indeed extraordinary. Do you think it can be a direct response to "theboys" last year?"
"To be honest, it's hard!" When talking about this topic, Kim Kwang-soo immediately became interested, and then foamed at the mouth and said with confidence. "But, this may not be the case in two months!"
"oh?"
"Think about it, how did ondergirls counterattack by Shao Shi?" Kim Kwang-soo replied excitedly. "It's not that ondergirls went to the illusory European and American market, and was praised as a high-profile, but they were staggered in the Korean local market and were brought to the old house by Shao Shi's slutty song... Now, although Lee Soo-man's arrangements on Shao Shi are very stable, South Korea, Japan, Chinese-speaking circles, Europe and the United States are coming step by step, but the overall situation is still similar. So, as long as Tara can continue... uh, strengthen and improve, and then do this again and twice, I think that at that time, I will really have the power to fight!"
"Then congratulations to you, Lao Jin, for your dream come true." pd could only say this. "You can do whatever you want here...you can do whatever you want, I'll go inspect the live broadcast station."
Kim Kwang-soo waved helplessly and immediately became more excited. To be honest, what's the point of no one listening to this kind of thing?
PDF walked out of the office door calmly with his hands behind his back, but suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the corridor was a bit strange. Then he immediately reacted. On weekdays, this point should be the most noisy time, right?
By the way, the reason why I am used to going to the live broadcast stage at this time is to enjoy the wonderful effect of silently silent wherever I go... This is actually the same routine for old colleague Kim Kwang-soo to foam at the mouth and tell him how he counterattacked Lee Soo-man.
However, when it comes to reality, the corridor is extremely calm at this time... Pay attention to it being calm, not quiet. Through the door, you can still hear some jokes in each room, and even the waiting room of the male and female protagonists behind the corner is even more lively, and you can also hear even more chaotic noises.
All of these are OK, they are normal.
But then again, back to the corridor... this is a total of fifty groups of artists! The top 50 artists in the weekly music comprehensive list, plus mc, assistant, agent, and m staff who are no less than this number, how can the corridor be as calm as a grave? No one is making noise, everyone is extremely careful when walking around, and some people dare to see them wink but not bow to say hello?!
"Come here!" The always pd immediately turned black at the subordinate who dared to wink at him. "What are you doing?! What's that expression?!"
"pd... Mr. Jin Zhongming is here, where are you sitting!" The subordinate reached out and pointed to the far end of the corridor speechlessly. "He didn't find the apink at the door of the standby room, so he sat at the door."
PDF was shocked and didn't even look at it, so he turned around and opened the door and went back to the office. The subordinate stood there and was at a loss... By the way, what else can he do when he meets such a boss?
In this way, on Thursday, February 9, at around 4 pm, Kim Jong-ming came to the backstage of the live broadcast of "m!ountdon". He did not meet apink, so he had to sit down at the door of the apink standby room with Choi Zhenhao. However, he received a call after sitting down for only five minutes, and then pulled away. There was no unnecessary language throughout the process.
However, for some people, these five minutes are enough to show his attitude and change the ending of some things.
That night, although the voting of 10% of the fans was not good enough, with excellent live singing and dancing skills, the new girl group Apink exploded strongly in the program scores that also accounted for 10%. Then, a very forced total score was overwhelming the peak girl group Tara, which released an album and sound source for one day late, and won its first place!
It's not easy! It's not easy! Facing Tara at the peak, it's still here in M. Even Queens thinks it's not easy to post songs a few hours later, and make some mistakes on the stage... This one will have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
"What's the point of losing?" After the live broadcast, just as Choi Jin-ho went to comfort the apink before the start, the president of CCM Kim Kwang-soo also came to the standby room with a smile on his face, and then foamed at the people of Tara, saying something. "You guys say that although the apink is a new group, are the live singing skills and dance much better than us? Is there any problem with the winning program? Of course, let's not talk about what to do when our audio source and album can completely suppress the other party's words at this time tomorrow. Just talk about this stage problem. It's better to be worse than others, right? Our average appearance is a little higher than theirs, right?"
However, the cold joke that Kim Kwang-soo tried his best in the end only made less than half of the people laugh.
"What else?" Jin Zhongming, who was sitting there, couldn't help but look at the time on his watch while making a phone call.
"We also went on "David Late Night Show last week." Sika on the other end of the phone continued in a relatively calm tone. "Then it is "live!ithkelly". You will set off for Paris as soon as it dawns. Then there will be a French program called "legrandjournal" in the evening. On the 10th, it was Xiuying's birthday. There is also a Korean-pop concert in Paris..."
Kim Jong-ming listened quietly to these things. He knew that Sika was not showing off, or that she was not just showing off. The other party really wanted to express something to him, otherwise she would not have talked to him intermittently from around 2 a.m. to four or five a.m.
"Wood." Sika's tone suddenly became a little lonely. "I thought about it after hanging up the phone. You said that, right now, we are indeed at a node that is the same as after the Black Sea, and everyone's mentality is undergoing drastic changes. Of course, this change is the opposite of 2008... This kind of racing itinerary is actually OK when it starts, because everyone has no time to think about these things, but once they stop, for example, today... I can't help but think about some messy things."
"What about it specifically?" Jin Zhongming asked softly.
"I used to...I mean when I was very young." Xika's voice suddenly became much calmer. "When I was in the Korean community, I always envied those big stars in Hollywood. But no matter how stupid or small I knew that I was a Korean, I didn't have that chance... So, after returning to China, I met a scout from the company, and I became so persistent. I had been a trainee for 7 years, and I debuted for 5 years... and returned to Los Angeles for a full 12 years."
"Do you feel anything?"
"I can't say that I'll return home in glory, I'll get what I want." Sika sighed. "But I also understand that from the perspective of a Korean artist, I've done the ultimate this time, right?"
"Maybe." Kim Jong-ming couldn't help laughing. "Who made you a Korean stick? Being able to walk back step by step from the Korean entertainment industry is already an amazing achievement."
"So what?" Sika finally asked. "Wood, tell me, what should I do? We just said, Tara, Zhaoyan, and the others are now at the peak. But you also told me that our young age is actually at the peak... No one can catch up. But then, what should I do? Fly two centimeters up and let them get a little further away from me? Is this... really meaningful?"
"It depends...Maomao, what you want." After a long time, Kim Jong-ming gave this empty answer.
"Wood, I'm very confused now... I'll get some things and thoughts back and sort them out." Sika suddenly hung up the phone.
Jin Zhongming held his cell phone and remained silent for a long time. But at some point, the car door behind him was suddenly opened, and six girls with tears on their faces were in the rearview mirror, even Chu Long who fell to the end was not spared.
It can be seen that they got this one, which made them extremely satisfied and happy!
ps: February 16th, I wish myself a happy birthday! Thank you for the red envelope rain in the group today and your rewards! Thank you!
Chapter completed!
