296 Ceremony Curtain
After the recording of "two days and one night", Lee Joon-yi began to prepare for the year-end awards ceremony. In fact, Lee Joon-yi is not promoting the album now, nor is he promoting TV and movies, and it is completely okay not to participate in variety shows. recorded "Two Days and One Night", in addition to Jiang Hudong's face, the most important thing was because of the sincerity of the show. Therefore, after recording "Two Days and One Night", Lin Xiyuan did not hesitate to turn down all the invitations to the door-to-door program. There is no way, there is only one Li Zhunyi, but there are so many shows.
Although Lee Joon-yi's performances are all his own and there is no cooperative stage, the rehearsal is much easier. However, Lee Joon-yi hasn't practiced dance for more than half a year, so now Lee Joon-yi still needs to practice seriously to ensure that there will be excellent performances for all audiences.
If you want to mention Lee Joon-yi this year, since the live broadcast of "The Witch's Condition" will not end until mid-January, "The Witch's Condition" and "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" will become masterpieces that have to be mentioned, coupled with the popularity of "Love in the Sky", today Lee Joon-yi is more active on the screen as an actor. However, when it comes to the album "King", it is the most watched album in the first half of the year, which has brought Lee Joon-yi a peak in his music career. Therefore, at the year-end song awards ceremony, Lee Joon-yi will naturally not be ignored.
On the waiting list for the MKMF awards, Lee Joon-yi took the lead in gaining the highest attention.
First of all, in the eight categories of the singer category, in the best male singer part, Lee Joon-yi will compete for this award with Lee Seung-gi, Shin Comet and others. In the six departments of the genre category, Lee Joon-yi was shortlisted as an alternate in the three departments of HIPHOP, R&B and lyricism. In the next MV department, this year's two MVs of Lee Joon-yi's "King" and "Our Rainbow" were shortlisted for the final competition. "" who regretted missing the registration time at the end of last year was successfully shortlisted for this year's OST Awards, three awards for lyrics, composition and arrangement, and after Lee Joon-yi's excellent performance last year, this year was shortlisted for the competition of three awards again, "Our Rainbow" and "" were shortlisted as candidates for lyrics and composition together, "King" and Lee Joon-yi's "Lies" for Bigbang was shortlisted for the composition and arrangement of the candidates together, and among the six candidates in the composition department, Lee Joon-yi occupied four seats, which shows the prestige of Lee Joon-yi this year. In the last five popularity awards, Lee Joon-yi is naturally all shortlisted, and is currently competing fiercely with several strong opponents - mythology and waiting.
Last year, Lee Joon-yi was shortlisted for six awards and finally won three awards, which is very efficient. This year, Lee Joon-yi went one step further and was shortlisted for nine awards, not counting the five popularity awards, and it can be said that the album "King" was absolutely glamorous in '07.
"King" has been sold in South Korea for four months, and until September, when the statistics are counted, the name of "King" can still be seen on the top 50 sales list. The sales of 170,000 in the first month were enough for Lee Joon-yi to occupy the top five positions on the album sales chart at the end of the year, and then it took a long few months of sales, and by the time of the year-end statistics, the sales of the album "King" actually exceeded the level of 200,000, and the final result was recorded at the number of 230,000, successfully winning the year-end sales championship.
Now that the record market in South Korea is shrinking rapidly, the sales of online music sources have increased, but there is still no way to hide the downturn in the music market. Before 2000, it was normal for sales to exceed one million, and the year-end sales champion was basically close to two million. But now, it is already very rare to have sales of more than 100,000 copies, for example, in 2007, there were only four albums that sold more than 100,000 copies at the end of the year, and this number is very bleak.
Therefore, although Lee Joon-yi's sales of 230,000 are nothing compared to ten years ago, but in 2007, it was enough to make the media exclaim, after successfully winning the year-end sales championship, before the year-end awards ceremony, Lee Joon-yi's news on music increased again.
In second place in the sales list is SG. , with a sales volume of 190,000, followed by Lee Joon-yi. The third place is 160,000 sales, which successfully saved face for the company. This year, TVXQ once again focused on Japan, and Girls' Generation had just debuted, and it didn't have much sales appeal, so the company mainly relied on winning the world. The fourth and fifth places on the sales chart are Bigbang and Bigbang, respectively, and the difference between the two sales is only 4,000 copies, which is very close. Bigbang's mini-album sold 124,000 copies of its "Lies" series, ahead of the 120,000 copies sold in the fourth album. The second album of Comet Solo, which ranked fifth, sold 90,000 copies. The sixth place is Seeya, and the seventh place is the rookie band FT that only debuted in July this year. Island。 The girl group Girls' Generation, which came out of nowhere this year, ranked 12th and 15th respectively, still failed to break the men's group's strong sales force.
The album "King" can be said to be a win-win for both word-of-mouth and sales, although in terms of topics, Bigbang's "lies" and "" are both superior, and even "" has sparked a wave of imitations of men, women and children all over Korea. However, Bigbang's "lie" is a mini album with insufficient sales momentum, while "" is the dominant online music source sales, and even broke the online sales record of last year's "", as for the album sales, the girl group showed its weakness in terms of sales momentum, and did not even squeeze into the top 10. So, overall, the hottest album of 2007 was led by Lee Joon-yi's "King", together with SG. , and together with the support of the sluggish record market in South Korea this year.
As the favorite of the year-end awards ceremony, Lee Joon-yi didn't pay too much attention to the waitlist, not because he didn't care, but because he didn't have time. Originally, because of the filming of the movie, the stage practice fell behind a lot, and then because of the busy schedule, Lee Joon-yi has not participated in the rehearsal of MKMF until now. As far as Lin Xiyuan knows, there have been three rehearsals for MKMF, one of which is still going through the process from beginning to end. Lee Joon-yi did not show up, but Yang Zhenzai and Xu Jun went to the scene instead for the move and rehearsal. Therefore, in the past ten days, Li Zhunyi has been practicing on stage day and night, and he has no heart to pay attention to the waitlist.
Today is the fourth rehearsal conducted by MKMF, and it is also the second rehearsal in which the whole process is in order, and some extras and artists will also wear makeup for rehearsals. On the way to this rehearsal, Lin Xiyuan told Li Zhunyi about the waiting list, which made Li Zhunyi happy for a while. After all, this is an affirmation of the album that I have worked hard for several months to make, and the hardships in the process of making the album are only known to the singer himself, any album, any song, is made by condensing the sweat of many people, and the affirmation of winning awards is always joyful.
This year's MKMF was held at the gymnastics arena in the Olympic Park, and the number of times Lee Joon-yi has come here to participate in performances is beyond one hand, but the stage and sound are different every time, so rehearsals are still necessary.
When I entered the arena, the number of fans crowded at the entrance was actually hundreds, and the figure of the No. 1 in a black T-shirt was also very conspicuous among the many fans. Seeing Lee Joon-yi's nanny car coming, the No.1s cheered very hard. Since the infield scene must be an empty field, the nanny car drove directly without entering and did not stop at the door. However, in order to take care of No. 1, Park Jin-woo, who was driving, still slowed down a little and slowly drove into the arena.
This time, the main stage of MKMF is a large circular stage in the center, which can face the audience on all sides, and there is no absolute distinction between the front and the back.
Li Zhunyi arrived at the scene and went directly to work without resting. On the stage, Li Zhunyi walked around the stage very skillfully, familiarizing himself with the size of the stage and the distance from the audience. Then I tried the microphone and lighting, first briefly rehearsed, and then the problem of communicating with the lighting director and sound director. Although it was already cold winter at this time, the indoor heating was quite sufficient, and the indoor temperature was much warmer than the sub-zero temperature outside. So Lee Joon-yi is a bright yellow plaid shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and the pants are a pair of washed white jeans with a pair of black Converse canvas shoes, simple but stylish. The clothes he wore were very thin, but after two rehearsals, there were traces of sweat on Li Zhunyi's forehead.
Due to the tight schedule this time, there was not much time to rehearse the stage, and Lee Ki-kwong, Liang Yao-sub and Son Dong-yun were all practicing in other companies, so there was no way to come over to participate in Lee Joon-yi's stage performance, so Lee Joon-yi made a big change to the stage of the song "King", and tried his best to make the stage wonderful on the basis of making full use of the stage actors provided by MKMF.
After the personal rehearsal was completed, the award ceremony of more than three hours was roughly walked through and took nearly two hours. On the stage, Li Zhunyi saw many old friends, Girls' Generation, and others attended the award ceremony. But everyone was busy with the rehearsal, and they just nodded to each other and said hello.
The rehearsal was over, but Li Zhunyi had no way to leave, and was left behind by the organizers, saying that there was a part of the award that needed to be discussed. Hearing the organizer's request, Lee Joon-yi was a little surprised, "I present the award for the best rookie women's team?"
