826. Hallyu and Girl Groups
Zhou Fangyuan came to Nanxian this time for two purposes.
One of them is the development of CF, which he wants to see. There are many subjective and objective factors for the success of CF in the previous life, but the ghost sister and brother are in a word, and the level of the game is excellent, which makes this game enduring. Now that it's a new life, this game is under its own command, so it is natural to take it seriously. Today's distant games,It's a monopoly in RPG.,A number of role-playing games are very successful.,All of them occupy a large market share.,But in terms of FPS games,There's nothing that can be done before the distant game.,It can even be said that there is no work at all.,So CF,It should be regarded as the first masterpiece of the distant game in the field of FPS games.,That's not to be too careful.。
The second is about Hallyu. 、
When it comes to Hallyu, many people are familiar with it.
The term "Hallyu" originated from the game of Go and was later used to refer to the influence of Nanxian culture in other regions. Hallyu in a broad sense includes costumes, food, etc., while Hallyu in a narrow sense usually refers to the regional impact of entertainment such as dramas, movies, and music. The term "Hallyu" was first proposed by the Chinese media, and was later widely used by the media and academic circles to refer to the export of the country's cultural industry. The Hallyu phenomenon is prevalent in many Asian countries and is gradually developing outside of Asia.
In the 90s of the last century, the Korean Wave entered China.
In 1993, the Nanxian TV series "Jealousy" was broadcast on Yang Ma, which was the first time that a Korean drama landed on the mainland screen; in 1997, the hit broadcast of the TV series "What is Love" in Yang Ma drove the influx of Nanxian entertainment culture into China and took this opportunity to gradually form the Korean Wave; after the new century, with classic dramas such as "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Da Jang Jin", the Korean Wave was pushed to the highest peak.
Zhou Fangyuan still remembers the scene where he accompanied his aunt to watch TV at his grandmother's house in his previous life, he himself didn't care about the Korean Wave at all, how the Korean Wave developed, and what are the powerful stars...... He didn't know much about it. He only knows a little bit about the girl group, and it is also because of the long legs that are full of screens, if there are no long legs, he estimates that his interest will be greatly discounted, and it is possible to directly reduce it by ninety%.
The development of Hallyu is actually a very clear line.
Lee Jung-hyun, the queen of all kinds of things, was the first person to introduce Hallyu to China and caused a sensation, followed by the Nam Xian TV series "What is Love" broadcast in China.
With the emergence of Nanxian singers on the domestic stage, the names of Nanxian pop group singers such as "HOT" and "NRG" have spread in China, arousing the interest and attention of some teenagers in Nanxian film and television stars and singers, forming a "boom" of Nanxian pop songs, TV series and Nanxian film and television stars. Some domestic newspapers and periodicals called this phenomenon "Hallyu", and the Namxian media took over the name.
The "Korean Wave" seems to be surging more and more rapidly, and it is spreading to Vietnam, Mongolia, and domestic countries and regions such as Hong Kong Island and Hoshima. Some teenagers have developed from watching Nanxian TV dramas, listening to Nanxian's songs, and "chasing stars", and then developing to pursue Nanxian's products, such as Nanxian's cosmetics, wedding dresses, Nanxian's pizza houses, Korean drama costumes, as well as Nanxian's second-hand cars, children's English textbooks and educational toys.
At the same time, a "Dae Jang Geum" also brought Nanxian food to us, Korean barbecue, Nanxian kimchi, etc. gradually entered our table. However, some people in Nam Xian's cultural and economic circles have expressed doubts about how long the "Korean Wave" will last. They believe that the "Hallyu" phenomenon is only one phenomenon among teenagers, who have no source of income and have limited financial means. In addition, they are also worried that the Chinese government will impose restrictions on the excessive entry of Nanxian popular culture, and that the Nanxian cultural community will not be able to produce more attractive products, which will cause the "Korean Wave" to lose its stamina, and eventually lead to a flash in the pan.
This kind of worry is justified or unreasonable, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it will really come true.
In the final analysis, the so-called invasion of Hallyu is actually a kind of cultural regression. The culture of Nanxian originated from China and was influenced by Chinese culture, but in recent years, it has absorbed a lot of Western culture, which seems to be somewhat different from traditional Chinese culture. But in fact, those things from China in Nanxian's bones are still not so easy to get rid of. It's just that compared with traditional culture, the Korean Wave is more trendy and easier to attract ordinary people, so this culture will return, which in turn affects young people in China. But in the final analysis, the culture of Nanxian has always been born from Chinese culture. No matter how much it changes, no matter how much it returns, it is only a short-term phenomenon.
From the perspective of Nanxian experts, it is natural that there will be concerns. But in Zhou Fangyuan's view, he won't take it too seriously at all.
Traditionally, when we talk about Hallyu, we mean those entertainment stars.
In terms of TV dramas, since the late nineties of the last century, Nanxian TV dramas and movies have gradually entered people's sight, with "Blue Life and Death Love", "Winter Love Song", "Sorry, I Love You", "Dae Jang Geum" and other dramas have been broadcast in Asia and successfully set off a Korean wave boom, many Nanxian first-line actors have become "Korean Wave stars". Bae Yong-joon, Choi Ji-woo, Jang Dong-kun, Won Bin, Song Seung-heon, Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji-hyun, So Ji-sub, Kim Hee-sun, etc. are the first batch of well-known Nam Xian actors, with the popularity of "My Girl", "It Turned Out to Be a Beautiful Man", "Boys Over Flowers", "Secret Garden", "You from the Star", etc., there are Hyun Bin, Lee Joon-gi, Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun-joong, Jang Keun Suk, Lee Jong Suk, Kim so-hyun, etc.
In terms of songs, "Gangnam Style", "Sorry Sorry", "nobody", "GEE", "Ode to Lovely", "NONONO" and so on are all well-known "Divine Comedy", which shows the influence of Nanxian songs. There are many famous singers in Nanxian who are deeply loved and sought after by people, such as Rain, BOA, Lee Jung-hyun, Lee Hyo-ri, Chae Yeon, Jang Nara, PSY, Ahn Qi-hyun, Kwon Zhi-ryong, etc., and many singers have a certain influence in the Nanxian music scene, Asian music scene and even the world music scene.
Then there are the singer groups, in this regard, the K-pop groups have always been at the forefront of the K-pop and are loved by teenagers. Representative combinations such as: . T, Cool Dragon, .l, TVXQ, SS501, Super Junior, Girls' Generation, BIGBANG, Shinhwa, infinite, Wonder girls, EXO, 2PM, SHINee, sistar, missA, f(x), Apink, T-ara, CNblue, FT-Island, Beast, and many more. Especially the girl group, although everyone will inevitably say something not very nice sometimes, such as being a man-made beauty, they are all fake...... But don't say it, whether it's artificial or fake, at least he looks eye-catching.
There are professional brokerage companies in Nanxian that excavate, train and package idol groups, and the combinations launched by powerful Nanxian brokerage companies such as JYP, YG, DSP, CUBE, and CJ generally become K-POP STARS.
The Korean Wave is fierce and its influence is unprecedentedly huge.
In the mid-to-late 90s of the 20th century, Nanxian's pop songs, film and television works swept to China, and the domestic media image called it "Korean Wave". In Korean, there is also a transliteration of the Chinese word "Hallyu", and at the first Gyeonggi International Tourism Expo in Namxian, there is a special Hallyu Pavilion in the center, and the "Hallyu" in Chinese and Korean characters is prominently displayed in the eye-catching part of the pavilion. The term "Korean Wave", coined by the highly expressive Chinese script, has become a concept used by the Nanxian people to promote their own culture.
The impact of the "Korean Wave" on China in Asia and even the world is very large, and it also reflects the strong power of the Korean Wave.
As the tragedy caused by the excessive pursuit of Hallyu is increasing, we need to have a more scientific and objective attitude towards Hallyu. Advanced learning, incorrect ignorance.
Let Hallyu be the spice of life, not the whole thing.
In fact, after years of development, Hallyu has become more than just a cultural phenomenon, it is closely related to economics and politics. As a cultural phenomenon, the Korean Wave has expanded the influence of Nanxian culture, but as a cultural industry, it has created a lot of economic value for Nanxian. The export of film and television works, the popularity of Nanxian brand clothing and cosmetics, etc., have brought rolling financial resources to Nanxian. The Korean Wave has also had a huge impact on the development of tourism in Namxian. For example, after the Korean drama "Winter Sonata" was broadcast in Asian countries, Chuncheon City and Nami Island, where it was filmed, became tourist hotspots. Previously, Nami Island was only a private island on the Bukhan River, and it was rarely visited by tourists.
"Winter Love Song" brought the tourism of Chuncheon City and Nami Island to the surprise of the people of Nanxian, but the governments at all levels of Nanxian have been inspired by this, and have invited film and television companies to set up locations in the local area, after the filming of the film and television drama, the construction of the filming site is owned by the local government, and the local government will open it up as a tourist destination, bringing tourism income and strong popularity to the local government. Another Korean drama, Dae Jang Geum, has also made a significant contribution to Nam Xian's tourism industry, with official statistics showing a 15 percent increase in foreign tourists visiting Nam Xian under the effect of "Dae Jang Geum".
China and South Korea established diplomatic relations in 1992, and because of the influence of the Korean Wave, the diplomacy between the two countries has a broader people-to-people basis. Moreover, the Korean Wave has become an important way of cultural diplomacy in Namxian, which has not only shaped the cultural image of Namxian, but also expanded the influence of Namxian.
It's just that what many people don't know is that while the Korean Wave is singing all the way, it is the Han wind blowing vigorously in the land of Nanxian.
Since the world's first Confucius Institute was founded in Seoul in 2004, the number of Confucius Institutes in Namxian will grow to 12 in the future. In Nanxian, with a population of only 50 million, more than 300,000 people are learning Chinese in various ways. The HSK has been held in Nanxian for 14 years, and in 2007 the number of candidates in Nanxian reached a record 20,000, ranking first in the world, accounting for 67% of the number of overseas exams. Another manifestation of the strong Han wind is the increasing number of Nanxian people traveling to China, which has exceeded 4 million in 2007, including business, sightseeing, family visits, etc.
A large number of Nanxian people learned Chinese and traveled to China, creating good conditions for the spread of Chinese culture.
In the long run, the influence of the Han style will have more potential, after all, the Nanxian culture was originally developed based on the Chinese culture, but they absorbed foreign culture earlier. And what about the more inclusive Chinese culture? Its potential is naturally above the Nanxian culture. Hallyu has established and developed a complete cultural industry chain, which has created considerable economic value for Nanxian, while Hanfeng has not yet formed an advantage in the cultural industry. The concept of cultural soft power is well known. Hallyu is not only a concentrated embodiment of Nanxian's cultural industry, but also a microcosm of Nanxian's development of national cultural soft power.
Nanxian also announced for a period of time that it would increase the output value of Nanxian's cultural industry and its share in the world market from 1% to 5%, and to become one of the world's five cultural industry powers, and the ultimate goal was to build Nanxian into a cultural power and a knowledge-based economic power in the 21st century. At the same time, the Namxian government believes that the Hallyu phenomenon should not be regarded as a mere cultural transmission, but should be made a representative culture of Asia. It can be seen that the Nanxian government has taken the improvement of cultural soft power as a national development strategy, and also demonstrates the great ambition of developing the cultural industry and improving the influence of culture.
Oh, I have to say that it is because of such a goal that Nanxian is crazy looking for all kinds of people who may be able to get involved with them, and then try their best to make these people's "ancestral home" become Nanxian. There is no way, the peninsula is a small country, the heritage is not enough, they want to make themselves a cultural power, but they don't have something to fill the foundation, so they can only "steal" the method to see if they can "steal" some of the heritage from other countries.
But it's a pity that on the Fuso side, local stars are very strong, although the Korean Wave has also influenced Fuso, but the influence is not very great, young people, there are those who like the Korean Wave, but they like the local culture more.
As for Huaxia, because the traditional culture is too old-fashioned, it has been hit by the Korean Wave in a short period of time. But after all, the heritage of a great country is there, and young people's love for Hallyu is only a matter of a moment and a half. As for the importance of their own cultural inheritance, the Chinese people themselves also have their own set of standards, such as Nanxian's ostentatious "reference", which naturally cannot be recognized.
But in any case, the Korean Wave is a trend after all, and it has caused quite a stir around the world in a very short period of time.
At the specific point in time, Zhou Fangyuan is not so familiar, after all, he didn't pay much attention to the development of the Nanxian entertainment industry before he was reborn. The only thing he has paid attention to may be the girl group. He probably knows that among the Hallyu girl groups, the generation of girl groups is based on . S represented by the girl groups that debuted at the end of the 20th century, and now most of these girl groups have been disbanded, and the members are married, and the individual activities of personal activities. The most successful representative of his personal activities is Lee Hyori. The first generation of girl groups has achieved great success in Nanxian China, and until Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, it is said that these first-generation girl groups are still more famous in South Korea than Girls' Generation, of course, I don't know if they are true or not. But what is certain is that the men's group has achieved even more, and the main force of the first generation of Hallyu to open foreign markets such as Huaxia is actually still. T and NRG and other men's combinations.
And at this point in time in 05, it is a period when a generation and a half of girl groups are active, but it doesn't mean anything, it's just a filling period. The really powerful girl group is the second-generation girl group, that is, the girl group 2.0 generation that is coming soon, probably starting from 07, and starting with a large number of mature version of the girl group when you were young. It's a great time to make money, and if you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
So Zhou Fangyuan came, carrying a half-understanding of the girl group in his previous life, and wanted to personally intervene in the start and development of the second-generation girl group in the Nanxian entertainment industry, and really get a piece of the pie from it.
