In Jin Yufan's waiting, Liu Xilie looked at the question card with a smile, and then asked very calmly: "First of all, let's talk about the recent events, Jin Yufan is back with the fourth album, and has achieved very good results, in just half a month, the sales of the album have exceeded 800,000 copies, remember, this is only the album sales in South Korea, in fact, counting the sales of Southeast Asian countries, the total has exceeded one million copies." ”

With Liu Xiyeol's words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but exclaim, and then a warm applause rang out and gave it to the party Jin Yufan.

The album sales can exceed the million mark, which is already the most difficult hurdle for the Korean music industry to reach since the new century, and even a desperate hurdle.

Therefore, with the development of the Internet, the actual album sales market has been greatly weakened, and the sales of albums have become less and less. For example, the album sales of one million copies in the 90s have basically disappeared completely after the new century.

Not to mention the sales of one million copies, between 2000 and 2005, the album sold more than 700,000 copies, which is very impressive. And after 2005, the album sales can exceed 300,000 copies, which is definitely a big sale, and there is no problem in competing for the best-selling album award of the year.

As for the millions of physical album sales, this number has only become a legend in the Korean music scene, and all singers only look up to the millions of album sales, and occasionally imagine it in their hearts or dreams.

But since Kim Yu-beom's birth, it is not difficult for the album to sell more than one million. With his accumulation, Jin Yufan finally broke through the million mark in sales of his third album.

Now the fourth album, according to the current situation, it is not difficult to break through one million album sales. This also means that Kim Woo-beom has become the only person with millions of album sales.

When the singers of the entire Korean music scene are still praying that their albums can reach 500,000, Kim Yu-beom has already broken through the million mark with an album, and it is estimated that it will be able to break through the million mark in a week with an album, which will definitely make all Korean singers completely dumbfounded.

It is precisely because of the difficulties that Kim Yu Beom's album has been sold in millions. It is particularly difficult and precious in South Korea, so the first question, Yoo Hee-yeol is also about album sales, the most important thing is to highlight the following Kim Yu-beom's achievements in music.

Facing the applause and cheers of the audience, Jin Yufan couldn't help but stand up with a smile and bowed modestly to express his gratitude.

"Yu Fan, although we all know that with the development of the Internet now, the actual album sales have been greatly affected, and now the music industry can sell 500,000 yuan, which is a super sale. One million is even more difficult. But Yu Fan, you did this, what do you think is the reason?"

What is the reason! Jin Yufan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but soon began to think about it. This question must be cautious, if you accidentally say the wrong thing, it will offend all the singers in the circle.

After thinking for a while, Jin Yufan said: "I think the most important thing is to take into account the market, which is necessary. Otherwise, the music is good. If you don't take into account the market, you will also fail completely. ”

As a musician, Liu Xiyeol certainly knows this, but the audience at the scene is at most ignorant of Jin Yufan's words, and can't help but help Jin Yufan explain: "It's very simple." For example, jazz-style songs are not absent in our country, but they are very niche and niche music. If Jin Yu Fan made a piece, it could be called a textbook, the most classic album in the history of jazz. But because it's so niche in our country, people don't like jazz very much, and then the album sales are just expected. ”

Liu Xilie's explanation also made everyone understand what was going on, thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense, without taking into account the market, no matter how good the music is, it is not popular, and the sales are naturally miserable.

For example, the current world single-album sales champion, that is, Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" released in 1982, is awesome, of course, and the sales have exceeded the 100 million mark.

But the problem is that if "Thriller" was released in South Korea at that time, in South Korea in the sixties and seventies, in that era when life was a problem, no matter how good the quality of "Thriller" was, no matter how classic it was, it was estimated that it would not have been sold in South Korea at all.

In fact, at that time, there was no so-called album concept in South Korea, and no one had the money and was willing to spend that money to buy an album, after all, in the general environment at that time, everyone's first task was to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, for the market, taking into account the market demand, this is a must, regardless of the market requirements, unless you are lucky enough to meet the needs of the market, otherwise, the end is doomed, as miserable as it is.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Jin Yufan continued with a smile: "The second is quality, if an album wants to succeed and sell well, it is far from enough to target the market, and it is necessary to ensure the quality of the album." At present, singers in the music world have released albums, and people with more than nine layers are aligned with the needs of the market, but why can they succeed, there are only a few albums that sell well, and that is the reason for quality. ”

"At the same time, there's the PR aspect, or the publicity aspect. No matter how good the quality of the album is, but there is not enough publicity, and fewer people know about it, it will naturally greatly affect sales. ”

"There are also the efforts of the singers themselves, which have various aspects, such as the singer's singing and dancing strength, as well as the efforts of all aspects of the usual publicity and hitting the charts. ”

"In the end, I think there is still a certain amount of opportunity, which is called luck. After all, as far as the current market is concerned, the million mark is definitely a very difficult number to reach. The main reason why the sales of my third series can exceed one million is that I have led by my accumulation, otherwise, it is estimated that the sales of my third series will also exceed the million mark. If the third series does not break through, it is estimated that the sales of my fourth series will not be as good as it is now. ”

"Everyone, now you know that it's not easy to be a singer. Seeing the audience nodding, Yoo Hee-yeol continued to sigh and said: "Everyone knows that I am also a musician, although I don't have too many excellent works, and the album sales are not very good. But it's not that I don't work hard, it's that there are various factors. I wanted to explain it to you before, but I was afraid that everyone wouldn't believe it, so now that I have Brother Jin Yufan, it is very convenient for everyone to explain it than for me to explain it to you, and everyone is more willing to believe it. ”

For Liu Xilie, he never forgets his identity as a musician. Everyone laughed, not with any sarcasm, but with kindness, and burst into applause.

Let's not talk about the host of Yoo Hee-yeol, but everyone is convinced of Yoo Hee-yeol's identity as a musician.

You know, even if you pull any idol group now, including the members of the powerful idol BigBang, to stand with Yoo Hee-yeol. In the eyes of the public, it is not as good as Liu Xilie.

Because, in the eyes of the public, idols are just singers, and Yoo Hee-yeol is a real musician.

A real musician is a real musician who has his own understanding and persistence in music, and resolutely does not be corrupted by business and affects his creation. In this regard. Whether it's Yoo Hee-yeol or Yoon Jong-shin. It's all these kinds of people.

"By the way, just now Yu Fan you talked about thick accumulation, what does your thick accumulation look like, can you tell me, I believe it's not just me, everyone is very curious?"

Facing Yoo Hee-yeol's inquiry. Jin Yufan thought about it and decided not to say it, because the nonsense is obviously untenable, and others will not believe it. To be honest, even my own house feels like showing off, this kind of hate-inducing thing. Jin Yufan didn't plan to do it.

"Hehe, that's it. Jin Yufan said lightly.

Yoo Hee-yeol reacted immediately, knowing that Jin Yufan didn't want to say it, and saying it was also something that attracted hatred, so he suddenly laughed and began to change the topic: "By the way, Yu-fan, you are about to work for a long time, and most of the time is overseas. Now many fans are worried, will you get off from M's main "We Are Married"?"

Jin Yufan and BOA will participate in "We Are Married" as CPs for about a year, and now they have become the pillars of the show, and even the program team has to be strongly requested by countless fans every time, asking to increase the broadcast volume of Jin Yufan and BOA, an international superstar couple, as for the other CPs, the broadcast volume can be appropriately reduced.

If it really doesn't work, simply pull Jin Yufan and BOA, an international superstar couple, out to shoot alone, and then open a separate program, so as to ensure that the ratings will not be worse than "We Are Married".

The personalities of Jin Yufan and BOA are destined to not have too much sweetness and romance when the two are recording. But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the audience feels very real, coupled with the popularity and status of Jin Yufan and BOA, as well as his own foreign trade and figure, plus the appropriate age, he is definitely the most popular and popular CP in the "We Are Married" program group.

Kim Yu-beom is going overseas next, and he will have to work overseas for at least a year, so many people are worried at this time, worried that Kim Yu-fan's only fixed variety show in South Korea, "We Are Married", will also be off the air because of Kim Yu-fan's work.

Because Jin Yufan is usually low-key in South Korea, there is currently a fixed program like "We Are Married", and almost all of Jin Yufan's fans are guarding the show "We Are Married" every week, just to learn more about Jin Yufan.

As the staff of the "We Are Married" program team said, the fans of Jin Yufan and BOA at least support at least half or even more than half of the ratings of the show.

There's no way, who let Jin Yufan keep a low profile, BOA basically doesn't go on variety shows in South Korea and stays in Japan all the time. It is precisely because the two have very few programs, or even basically not, and the popularity and influence of the two are high, and the CP composed of them naturally completely attracted the attention of the two fans.

"I also discussed this matter with BOA with the program team, and of course we hope to stay in the show, after all, I have a very happy cooperation with BOA, and this is also the best window for our two fans to understand us. But considering that BOA has been in Japan at that time, and I am going to the United States, it is too far apart, and it will be difficult to come over the itinerary correctly, and because it is far away, continuing to shoot will also increase the burden on the program team. Therefore, BOA and I don't know if we will get off the bus now. In short, BOA and I both expressed our willingness to continue to stay and shoot, as for the specific situation, this is after the program team takes into account all factors. to be able to make a decision. ”

"Don't!" Hearing that Kim Yu-beom and BOA were likely to get off the bus from the "We Are Married" program, fans at the scene shouted one after another.

Faced with the fans' requests, Jin Yufan just smiled, after all, this kind of thing is not up to him and BOA, and the program team also has its own considerations.

Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Liu Xilie hurriedly said, "Okay." Let's move on to that. Recently, Kim Woo-beom's fourth album achieved very good results, and the title song "LoveTheWayYouLie" entered the No. 1 position on the Billboard singles chart, which is definitely the first time in the Republic of Korea. Here, I'm curious, under what circumstances did you create the song "LoveTheWayYouLie" in the first place, maybe what is your creative background, and why did you come up with the idea of creating an English song?"

Liu Xiyeol's question this time made the scene instantly quiet, and everyone wanted to know. Why did Jin Yufan create an English title song for his new album this time, is it really what everyone expected before, Jin Yufan wants to enter the American market with the song "LoveTheWayYouLie"?

"Hehe, it's actually because of a coincidence. At that time, I didn't plan to write an English song at first, but when the melody of the song "LoveTheWayYouLie" was written, I realized that the song style was RAP. And it's also American-style RAP. ”

Jin Yufan smiled and began to flicker: "Actually, at the beginning. Seeing this, my first thought was that I wanted to change it, not to change the genre, but to change it to our Korean-style rap, so that fans could better accept and like it. But then I found out that "LoveTheWayYouLie" can't be changed even if it is changed over and over. If you change it, it will affect the quality of the song. I couldn't help it, and in the end, I could only grit my teeth and stick to the American RAP style. After all, every song is created and is unique, and we are all children of creators like us, and we also want to create music for ourselves. I can get everyone's liking, although I'm not very good at American RAP. ”

"Fortunately, everyone likes and supports the song "LoveTheWayYouLie", and now "LoveTheWayYouLie" has also achieved good results on Billboard, and it is everyone's love and support to have today's good results, and I would like to thank you all here. Saying that, Jin Yufan stood up and bowed again, which once again caused a warm applause from the audience.

Liu Xiyeol is convinced, he has never seen an artist with such appeal as Jin Yufan, and it is estimated that even Prince Xu and the children when he first debuted are not as appealing as Jin Yufan.

"In fact, since Jin Yufan's debut, although there are not many songs created, basically every song is a very classic song, according to the words in the circle, that is, every song created by Jin Yufan is the quality of the main song, I am very curious about this, Yufan Why can you create so many high-quality songs, although the number of creations is small, but the quality is really top, so far, it seems that the quality of that song is not as bad. ”

Although there are not many songs by Kim Yufan, almost every one of them is of high quality, and even the classic Cheng dù songs are often created, which also makes Yoo Hee-yeol, who is also a music creator, very curious.

Regarding Liu Xilie's question, Jin Yufan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Xilie's expression, and couldn't help laughing after seeing Liu Xilie's very curious appearance.

Obviously, this question is not a question provided by the program team, it is estimated that it should be a question that Liu Xiyeol personally wants to ask.

"Hehe, I don't know what to say about this. I don't want to fool you with any so-called inspiration, but I can only say that sometimes inspiration is really there, and it is also important. And I'm lucky, basically every time an inspiration comes up, I almost have a song skeleton, so the rest of the work is relatively easy. ”

"Ah, I see, I have to say that you, the source of inspiration, are really enviable. After listening to Jin Yufan's sturdiness, Liu Xiyeol couldn't help but say with envy.

You must know that under normal circumstances, unless it is full of inspiration, otherwise when the creator is creating a song, the inspiration often only brings one paragraph to the creator, at most two or three paragraphs of inspiration.

Then, on the basis of these two or three paragraphs, it was constantly revised, extended, and expanded, and finally revised, and the song slowly appeared.

It's definitely unrealistic to be able to write a song in a few minutes as soon as an inspiration bursts, maybe in this world, but it's definitely extremely rare. Any brand new song, in fact, is based on one or two melodies, combined with the continuous extension and expansion of this propaganda, revised and modified.

Because, this is why many composers often need a long time, days, or even weeks when composing, because every song is polished by the composer by time. (To be continued......)
