……
Because of the major song ceremonies at the end of the year, almost no singers will officially release albums. Most of them are just precursor tracks. So at the beginning of the second year, the new album will show a blowout trend. For idol groups, in addition to the beginning of the year, there is also a hot summer when the popular period for the return is the beginning.
From promotion to release, an album has to go through many links. Generally speaking, there will be a prelude to warm up, but at this time the production of the album may not be completed. While the singer was perfecting the album, he began to contact and appear in various programs to increase his exposure.
The first title track was released before the album. After the MV for the title song premieres on TV, it will be released on major music websites as soon as possible. Immediately after that, the album will be released in video stores, and the singer will participate in the recorded program in advance, and it will also be broadcast on TV and online at the same time.
After the role of the title song is fully fermented, the official album will go on sale. However, the main track of the album has been exposed in advance, which has greatly increased the popularity of the album, but on the other hand, it has also reduced the expectations of the album.
So the album also includes the second main track, and even some songs that can only be heard when you buy an album. Various posters and autographs are also included...... to stimulate mass consumption.
After the first main song attracts everyone's attention with a dynamic rhythm. At this important juncture of the album's hot sales, the second title track began to play a role again. The quality of this song is not necessarily lower than that of the first main track, mainly because the genre may not be too gripping. For example, it is a narrative song that needs to be quietly savored.
At this time, in those most popular variety shows at the moment, his figure was finally late. The agency will also use the last residual warmth to sell some favors to other new shows. Help them expand their visibility.
Because no one can say that one day, Feng Shui will take turns in each other's homes.
Of course, fans will follow in the footsteps of their own artists and contribute with their passion and money. But what all the hit albums have in common is that they all have a high attraction to passers-by.
There's a saying that goes like this: attract every potential follower, convert every possible ANTI. On the basis of consolidating existing fans, it is also necessary to attract a large number of new fans. Only albums with such capabilities can withstand rounds of changeable market tests.
Well, the more you talk about it, the more biased it gets. These things have nothing to do with the protagonist because he is not an idol singer. And the traditional singer has only one goal, that is, the album tracks to:
It's resonant, thought-provoking, and intriguing, making you want to sing along, and want to listen to it again after listening to it.
That's right, that's the only target. Once you have this, you can squander your willfulness.
He is not handsome, he is not in good shape, he does not appear in shows, and he does not participate in activities. disappeared for a year and didn't come out to breathe.
None of this is a problem, as long as you use an excuse to prevaricate: in the temporary retreat, I hope to bring you a better music experience.
……
Cheon Myung-hoon didn't have that much time and energy to promote the album. When he answered the hype of the college entrance examination results, he had already thought of it in advance.
His musical dream is not to become a sales myth, but to stand on stage and sing his own songs. Other than that, it's just necessary and not important.
Although using hype topics to attract attention is not a method that Cheon Myung-hoon likes. But this matter does not harm the interests of other people, and it can save him a lot of time. Otherwise, Qian Mingxun will have to regain people's attention little by little through other means.
In addition to this, Qian Mingxun is all able to save and save. In the promotion stage of the entire album, there are only two steps: the prelude song and the title song.
This time, Cheon Myung-hoon is planning to participate in the four major singing programs, and he will also appear in the necessary radio programs. But in addition to other variety shows, such as the declining "X-MAN", "Infinite Challenge" which is still in the trial stage, and the most popular "Love Letter".
In these shows, Cheon Myung-hoon doesn't plan to show his face again, and the reasons are simple and complex.
To put it simply, these variety shows are not suitable for him. Qian Mingxun is not a person who is frequently exposed, and his appearance in variety shows once or twice has little effect.
Complex explanations are actually ulterior explanations. Because of Qian Mingxun's advanced memory, he felt that the more he appeared in early variety shows, the more black history he left behind. Although he is more confident in his appearance, it is estimated that few artists will feel that they are not good.
But the result? It's not all made into memes.
The clarity of today's footage is not comparable to that of tomorrow. Since seeing what he presented on TV, Cheon Myung-hoon has no interest in appearing again.
But it's not that he doesn't want to leave some information as a memento. Therefore, Qian Mingxun did not refuse to broadcast on the radio, and also decided to star in "The Happiness of Ten Thousand Yuan".
"Ten Thousand Dollars of Happiness" may be starving, at least during the day in front of the camera. But this show has a special attribute that makes Cheon Myung-hoon willing to bear this pain.
That's authenticity!
This also confirms Cheon Myung-hoon's philosophy: he is not an artist, and he works hard every day to maintain his personality and manage a good image. He's just a guy who has his own life and sometimes works part-time as a singer.
What Cheon Myung-hoon hopes to present to fans through the lens is his truest image. Although there may be limitations, full exposure is not possible. But what can be seen by fans is the real facts.
And the part that cannot be revealed, then hide it and not make it public, rather than disclosing a fake one to deceive others.
In other words, Qian Mingxun regarded "Happiness of 10,000 Yuan" as a personal documentary. He plans to show his life through the lens in a week's time. It can be regarded as a reward for his long-awaited fans.
