Chapter 212: Debut (I)
I've always been curious about how those fans at the music show get tickets? After all, there are so many fans of artists that it is easy to fill a scene. And there are many fans, in order to see their favorite idols, they have made some money.
Now I finally understand. The music program will first leave some tickets for the singer's official fanclub, and these tickets will be obtained by the lucky fans in the club, so the fans on the scene are basically in the same area. Generally speaking, the most popular idols, their fans also get the most votes, and their positions are relatively high.
You can also apply online. The probability of winning votes in this method is not very large, and a large part of it depends on luck. Generally, you can register as a member on the official website of the TV station, apply for an on-site viewing ticket on the homepage of the relevant program, and the lucky winner will be announced at a fixed time, and after confirming the ID and ID card, you can go to the scene on the selected date.
When I got out of the car, I found the waiting room that the popular song had arranged for me. In fact, this is also very contrary to common sense, and it can be regarded as special preferential treatment. How can a singer who has just debuted have a separate waiting room? When APINK first debuted, seven people and five people from 4MINUTE shared a waiting room. From the perspective of 4MINUTE, they debuted two years ago, and after becoming famous, they were still crowded with newcomers from the same company.
Even if Han Chengjun didn't want to be so dazzling, Li Xiaoli, who came with him, didn't allow him to squeeze with others. Originally, Li Xiaoli was not allowed to come, but she said that she would not go to the scene, but just take him backstage to visit her seniors.
There's nothing wrong with huddled with artists from the same company, at least you don't have to visit them. Heavenly Tomoki also wants to participate in the singing, and he could have used their waiting room, but now that he is okay, he has to visit them.
Between artists of the same company, whether the relationship is good or not, you can't watch the performance on TV. Heavenly Tomoki has been in the singing period recently, but the results are not very good. However, because it was this time, the only singer in S.M who played songs was still able to occupy a standby room alone. When he saw Han Sung-joon come in with a few single CDs, the expression on his face was not welcoming.
After Han Chengjun finished introducing himself according to the standards, Tianwu said suspiciously: "Has our company launched a newcomer?
"I haven't heard of it either. ”
Zhisheng said: "I've heard of some, one of the two people selected by the director a long time ago, the MV and single have already been finished, and they are only debuting now?"
While several people were talking, they did not respond to Han Chengjun's introduction, nor did they take the CD handed out by Han Chengjun, which made him unhappy, although he also understood their mentality. The debut of every newcomer or group represents the tilt of the company's resources. It was already difficult, but now they can get fewer resources, so it's no wonder they have a good impression of Han Chengjun!
Without waiting for a few people to respond, Han Chengjun said: "Senior, my first choice is to visit my seniors, there are still many people who need me to visit, so I won't bother you, I'll go first." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"This newcomer is so rude!" Shangmei said angrily, "I want to teach him a good lesson!"
Zhisheng said: "Forget it, this newcomer is the director's favorite person, I heard that it's because of him, it seems that he doesn't pay much attention to the other person." If the director knows that we are bullying him, with our current use value, he will definitely be kicked out immediately. ”
SS501 is also in the singing period now, and because "Lies" has been popular with the public, the five of them are now considered famous, and they have won three consecutive championships in popular songs. At the same time, because there were no strong opponents in the same period, it also achieved good results in the music bank and music center.
As soon as Han Chengjun entered, the five of them thought he was here to cheer them on, so they stood up respectfully and greeted him. After understanding his intention, I couldn't help but look at each other, and I felt a little incredible. was originally a director who managed himself, but now he has become his junior, what attitude should he use to face him in the future?
Han Sungjun said: "Anyway, I'm also your leader, right? You can refer to the artists under JYP to get along with Park Jinying." But there is no need to be too respectful, we are not very old, as long as we don't get involved in business, it's okay to joke. Well, by the way, I won't give you more, and CD money is not cheap. You don't have to give it to me, I wrote it myself, and I won't listen to it. ”
According to common sense, Heavenly Tomoki should have given him a CD just now. However, because of the unpleasant trouble, there is naturally no such process. RAIN AND LEE HYORI HAVE BOTH SAID THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE THOSE GROUP MEMBERS COME TO VISIT THEM, THEY GIVE THEM A CD, AND THEY HAVE TO RETURN IT TO SAY FOUR OR FIVE AT THE LEAST, AND SEVEN OR EIGHT AT THE MOST, WHICH IS ALWAYS A LOSS.
Everyone laughed.
Han Chengjun said again: "Your results are good, but you can't be proud, and you have to continue to work hard." I know you're tired, but it's going to take a little longer. When you are free, I will send you to further study, learn acting skills, or music training, which will be good for you in the future. ”
Kim Hyun-joong hesitated and said, "Won't this be a waste of time?" Although they know that this arrangement is good, relatively speaking, the income will definitely decrease, and they would rather take a few more commercials, which will increase their income a lot. After all, this period of time can be regarded as a fire, and it is the time when the advertising effect is more appealing.
"Lies" was indeed very popular at the beginning, but because BB is a rookie group and does not have a strong fan base, it did not bring them the honor of three consecutive championships, and it only made them hot newcomers.
But SS501 is different, the debut time is not short, and it has won a few places on music programs, so it can give full play to the potential of this song, coupled with the mature market operation of DSP, this song resounded on the streets. Recently, there have been a lot of advertising appointments, and the agent has also told them that giving them some motivation can also make them play better.
Han Chengjun looked at them, knowing that Xu Yongsheng and the others were thinking the same, and smiled: "Don't be short-sighted. Companies don't treat you like a money-making machine, even though we're here to make a profit. Maybe in the future, the status of idol singers will increase, but I don't think you will be able to catch up with that time. So you have to change your identity, or you have to become an actor, or you can become a music teacher. ”
Park Jung-min pursed his lips and said nicely, what is not a money-making machine, and it is not that he exonerated himself immediately!
"Work hard," Han Sung-jun patted Park Jung-min on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You have to be hard to strike iron, and when you learn to write your own songs in the future, there will be a company to poach you after you leave the company." Otherwise, people spend a lot of money to poach you, and it is estimated that they will also hide it, just to reduce the opponents of the company's newcomers and not get the company's attention. ”
These words can be described as shocking. There is no company that doesn't want to keep its own artists, after all, it is cultivated by one hand, how can it be easily poached by other companies?
Fans have always had a question about why most Korean artist groups can't escape the fate of disbandment, and there is even a five-year curse, that is, no matter how popular a group is, if it develops for five years or even less, its lifespan will come to an end, and there will definitely be incidents of personnel leaving or being replaced.
Han Chengjun didn't understand it before, but now he has a little understanding. Although these combinations, which have debuted for many years, can still bring huge benefits to the company on the surface, human beings are very strange animals, and they will have a psychology of liking the new and hating the old. Especially as we get older, our mental experience matures and grows. The result is that while they are still fans of these groups and their purchasing power has increased greatly, their desire to spend has greatly decreased. It is already difficult for the company to earn music and album income from these fans, so it naturally wants to divert these fans, and it doesn't even care if their artists exist or not.
The dissolution of the portfolio can also divert the company's resources to the newly launched portfolio. Instead of using their brains on those worthless fans, let them divert their interest and try to get them interested in the new group. Besides, if this group of fans is lost, there will be a new generation of primary and secondary school student fans who will grow up, and the most important thing is to let the new group catch them, which can bring new benefits to the company.
Therefore, the company sometimes deliberately creates an imbalance in the income distribution of members, that is, one person contributes and all employees benefit, or each distributes and supports one person. This will inevitably exacerbate the contradictions between the members and eventually lead to division. Don't think that the relationship on stage is very good, as Liu Huaying said, every group has a phenomenon such as crowding, but it is just not shown to the public.
Xu Yongsheng saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately expressed his determination: "What do you say, the company is so good to us, how can we switch to other companies? Don't worry, we will definitely stay in the company." ”
Several other people also reacted, secretly saying that Xu Yongsheng was cunning, and also expressed their positions, saying that they would not be poached by other companies. Han Sung-jun just laughed.
After talking for a while, Han Sung-jun went to visit Son Haoying, a member of GOD. At this time, Lee Hyo-ri came in handy, and he did not speak in the office of SS501 just now, and he wisely protected Han Sung-joon's authority. The singer he is facing now is a predecessor in the true sense. Of course, Lee Hyori has to help. In terms of debut time, those who are still in the music scene are basically her juniors.
At the very least, it should be exchanged with you, although many newcomers do not have mobile phones, but brokers generally exchange contact information.
