Chapter 204, the difference between Japanese entertainment and Korean entertainment
PS. Today's weekend, I may have to go out in the evening, so I'll update it first, and as for whether there will be any more at night. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info. It depends.
"Of course, we can't treat them all as too noble saints, JYJ these three people, they are essentially still for money, not to mention anything else, after leaving the brokerage company, in just one year, they have accumulated an amazing fortune, spending hundreds of millions of yen to buy a house in Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea, buy a villa, and now, four years, although they are still in a state of being blocked, they are all worth more than one billion yen. Uesugi Soyuki's face looked a little playful: "They have packaged themselves as victims very successfully, and all of them sympathize with them, but in fact, to some extent, this is also their disguise for themselves, tsk, those are three victims with a net worth of more than a billion, what kind of vulnerable group are they? But they have always packaged themselves like this." ”
"Without the blood drawing of the brokerage company, albums, concerts, all the income from the periphery went directly into their own pockets, and now they are all rich. ”
"Alas~ That's the case, K-pop artists do sound very hard, by the way, there is a girl group called Kara recently, isn't it also very popular in Japan? I remember that it seems to have been disbanded last year? There is also a late-night program dedicated to analyzing this!" After Yui Aragaki saw Kokubun Taiichi leave, she began to take the initiative to take over the topic.
"Hehe~ If your single continues to top the public credit chart, you will be one in all major music programs. Since then, they have become one of the girl groups to reach the top of KPOP, but the annual income is only 1.3 million yen, do you have any thoughts in your heart? All the income from activities in Japan has been collected by the agency in the name of 'packaging fees' and the like, and they still owe performance fees and do not pay, will they make trouble? If you don't want to do anything else, if you are owed wages by the firm, you must have plans to emigrate, right?"
"That's for sure!" Yui Aragaki doesn't think twice, she doesn't owe wages, this is the bottom line.
Uesugi Soyuki nodded secretly, the rules of the game in the Japanese entertainment industry, to a certain extent, are in line with the American father, the rules of American Hollywood have gone through decades of ups and downs, although there are still a lot of transactions under the table, but in general, it is already very standardized and professional, affected by this, since the late eighties, the various rules and regulations of the Japanese entertainment industry have also tended to be thoroughly improved, especially around the turn of the millennium, Takuya Kimura took the lead in asking for salary, which further protected the interests of artists, and today, the unspoken rules of the Japanese entertainment industry are more inclinedThe drama of "you love me", the rules on the surface are already very strict, and the interests of artists are generally protected, even if it is a "burning system" controlled by the underworld and countless horses, it is rare to force artists to do what they are unwilling to do through some disgraceful means.
In the Japanese entertainment industry, the office and the so-called bigwigs can suppress a person through various means, force a person to not get a job, and force them to quit the circle, but they never dare to deduct the income of their artists, and even use violence or other means, because this is an act that crosses the line.
But Korean entertainment is different.
South Korea, founded on culture, the whole country transfuses blood for the entertainment industry, revolves around it, relies on national policies to promote the Korean Wave, protect the Korean Wave, behind several large entertainment companies, there are shadows of major consortia, the international image of the entire South Korea is maintained by this group of artists, and the emotions of the entire people also rely on this group of artists to vent, and even to the point that as long as something happens in the political circle, the consortium will arrange for the entertainment industry to make a big news to distract attention, so that this group of poor artists can bear social pressure.
Deduction and exploitation by major agencies are the norm, and after JYJ sued the agency, countless K-pop artists began to stand up and expose all kinds of injustices, and almost all of them have had the experience of being treated violently.
In essence, it should be understood that Japanese entertainment is an inward-looking circle, and the terrible purchasing power of the Japanese ensures that the capital flow of this circle is enough to feed this group of people in the entertainment industry, but the Korean entertainment industry is different, the poor market of Korean entertainment, after being frantically pumped by the consortium behind the major brokerage companies, is completely unable to support the huge number of artists, and there are countless trainees who are waiting to be fed and looking forward to their debut, so the Korean wave artists have to come out, go to Japan, go to the Celestial Empire, sweep the markets of other countries, and make money in their countries, which can ensure that the Korean entertainment circle can get enough blood transfusionto be able to continue to sustain it.
But these Uesugi Soyuki didn't plan to say it, he was out to eat tonight, not out to teach, he just said casually: "I heard that the troupe also likes Kara?"
One member of the troupe, one of the new generation of funny artists, belongs to the Ota office.
"Yes, he does like Kara very much, and he was nervous for a long time when Kara was about to disband. Daigo seemed to remember something, and he was very interested: "Later, after knowing that Kara had reconciled with the office, Seigo was happy for a long time. ”
Shengwu is the real name of one of the troupe, and he likes to be called that directly.
"Does Zong Xianjun like Kara too?" Aragaki Yui saw that Uesugi knew Kara very well, and the woman's expression revealed a little curiosity and a little dignified.
"That's not it, Brother Daigo, you can talk to the troupe, Kara, this combination... Although they avoided disconnection, it was difficult for the five of them to be together for too long. Uesugi Soyuki glanced at Aragaki Yui and didn't say anything, but said to Daigo in turn.
"Why?" both asked curiously.
"The reason is simple... In the five-person group, two chose to stay, three chose to resist, and one person first resisted and was persuaded by the brokerage company, and came back to persuade the resisting people to compromise, even if it was the end of the trouble that the members and the company took a step back, and retained the combination of Kara, but the feelings between everyone in those years have been... Uesugi didn't continue, but Daigo and Aragaki Yui understood what he meant.
The hearts of the people are not aligned, and they can't even advance and retreat together, although under the concession of the brokerage company, the five people reluctantly stayed and worked together, but the relationship must have broken down, and these people have no long left in the contract, and when the contract expires, it is destined to be a shot and two scattered.
"Indeed... Zong Xue, I'm ready to fly solo too!" Daigo said suddenly.
"Huh, brother's band, hasn't it been to the martial arts hall several times?" Uesugi Soyuki already had a plan in his heart.
In April 2007, Daigo formed the band BREAKERZ with SHINPEI and AKIHIDE, started a three-member band and signed with Being.
The popularity of this band is okay, but... Being able to perform so many times at the Budago, it's all because of Daigo's family background, this band takes a niche route, which can ensure a certain degree of popularity but it is also difficult to become popular, and the sales of a single are 5-10 on the public credit chart, and then sell 10,000 copies in the first week.
If it is a solo singer who releases a single, selling 10,000 copies can be said to be a small profit, but for Daigo's BREAKERZ band, which has spent a lot of time and money, it is not very profitable.
Aragaki Yui also released albums and singles, selling more than 10,000 yuan, but the result was a lot of losses, and since then, Gakki has stopped singing and discs.
Don't look at Daigo still looks very young and handsome, but in fact he is 34 years old, after playing for a few years and satisfying his musical dreams, he also wants to take another route, at the beginning of this year, he participated in the filming of the Tsuburaya Ultraman series theatrical version of "Ultraman Legend" , and AKB48's Akimoto Caika, Miyazawa Sae, Umeda Ayaka and other Cheng Yuan, with a box office of 350 million, which is quite so-so, and this is enough for a person with a family background like daigo to open up a new situation in the entertainment industry.
The current environment is like this, and it is difficult for the band to make money half-dead, so Daigo wants to fly solo.
"Well~ everyone can't make any money, do you think it's better to separate and act separately for a while? Everyone has music dreams, but they also need to live!" Daigo joked, and it seemed that his two teammates were on the same page on the matter.
The plan can be understood by everyone, and there is no problem for this band to make a comeback in the future.
"Temporarily separating is for a better reunion, brother has a point. Uesugi Soyuki nodded, since each has ideas and things they want to do, let's separate for the time being, the twisted melon is not sweet, and if it is slightly separated, the relationship will be better.
Is it for a better reunion to be separated temporarily? Aragaki Yui's pupils widened slightly, and the woman stared blankly at the man sitting beside her, with bitter feelings in her heart.
Is he and him temporarily separated?
Will there be a chance?
Aragaki Yui's expression, Uesugi Soyuki didn't pay attention, but Naito Taiko noticed, he looked hot-blooded, young, and energetic on the surface, but in fact, he was already in his thirties after all, and he was born in a family of eunuchs, how could he be a hot-blooded fool, he paid attention to the performance of the two people, and thought: It seems that between Zongxue and Gakki... What exactly is the relationship between these two people?
So he tentatively provoked the topic, wanting to try the reaction of these two people: "Zong Xue, did you say that your family urged you to get married? I was urged to marry by my family all day long, saying that you are in your thirties in Dahu, why are you not ready to get married?"
Sure enough, Aragaki Yui hit a spirit, and instinctively looked at Uesugi Soyuki, her eyes full of worry.
When they first dating, they hid it from the Uesugi family, and the head of the Uesugi family knew about her and Uesugi Soxue, after the two broke up, she knew that her identity was not liked by the head of the Uesugi family, and what she did caused the disgust of Grandpa Zongxue, and she has been doing things in a low-key manner recently, and she usually gets along with people even more low-key.
"Well~ I can't say for sure.,I don't really want to get married.。。。 But maybe, maybe I'll find a fifth-year-old lady to marry that day?hahahaha~" Uesugi Soyuki made a joke and exposed the topic.
Sure enough, something happened between the two of them!
