Chapter 360: Hallyu Strikes (Thanks)
Lee Jung Hyun (Lee JungHyun), a famous Korean female singer, actress, and Asian pop diva.
Founder of AVAFilms & Entertainment, record producer, charity entertainer. became famous in 1999 and has been known as the originator of the Korean Wave, the queen of change, and the queen of dance music.
and starred in his first movie "Petals" at the age of 16 and won numerous awards. At the age of 19, he released the famous song "Wow", which won the championship of KBS Music Bank for three consecutive weeks and was widely sung. In the same year, another single "Swap Out" won her multiple awards at the Korean Song Awards.
In particular, every time she changes her look, she causes a big change in Korean fashion trends. Holding a fan, wearing a thumb microphone, Tai Chi style dancing and mysterious and strange costumes are loved and imitated by young people from all over the world.
Therefore, in a certain sense, Lee Jung-hyun's great success comes from her ability to lead fashion culture. The biggest reason for her overnight success is that her image design catches the eye of young people. For example, finger mic, unique fan dance, "A Chinese Ghost Story"-like costumes, yes, the best adjective on earth to describe Li Zhenxian's unique and enchanting typhoon and dance costumes is the same classic, "A Chinese Ghost Story", in addition, it is difficult to have a word that can fully reflect Li Zhenxian's style. At the same time, her avant-garde makeup, Tai Chi-like dance, fashionable techno dance music, etc., were all the current originators and historical pulse of the Korean Wave not only in Korea itself, but also in China!
Therefore, in the choreography of the two songs "Exclusive Audition" and "Unique" today, Li Youyang did not use the version of Zheng Xiuwen's cover, but fully borrowed from Li Zhenxian's unique costume and smart dance steps, because "Exclusive Audition" is not good, "Unique". Fundamentally speaking, it is a cover and reprocessing of Li Zhenxian's famous song "Wow", and at the same time, it can be said that these two songs fulfilled Zheng Xiuwen at that time, because when it comes to Zheng Xiuwen's famous songs, Li Youyang has gone through that era on the earth, and naturally has full right to speak.
said Sammi Cheng's famous song. At least eight out of ten people must have jumped out of their heads for the first time not "Worthy", but "Eyebrow Flying Color Dance" at that time, and this "Unique"! Therefore, from this point of view, it is none other diva singer who can achieve such great success by covering the songs of other singers, and at this point, Zheng Xiuwen has indeed achieved uniqueness! And the original versions of these two songs are all from Li Zhenxian.
And today, once Li Youyang sang and jumped out of the two songs "Exclusive Audition" and "Unique" respectively, Du Shasha and Li Yiyi led the team to sing and jump out, even he didn't expect to achieve such a good effect. Even let himself immerse himself in it for a while.
The reason why I am immersed is because it is too similar, I have to say that Du Shasha and Li Yiyi are the same kind of girls as Li Zhenxian in shape, fleshy but not fat, and the cuteness of the flesh is the type that can naturally make people feel good and can't help but want to be loved in their arms, so it is said that Du Shasha danced on stage once she danced. Li Youyang began to lose his mind, because in a trance, he actually found that in front of him was the living Li Zhenxian himself!
And this. And let Lee Youyang, who has walked through that era and grew up in the indiscriminate bombing of the Korean Wave, not recall the good memories of a period of time? That memory is that everything about the Korean Wave is also the Korean Wave that you can't avoid as a domestic musician.
Hallyu usually refers to the regional impact of Korean TV dramas, movies, music, and other entertainment items when they land in other places. On the earth, it first appeared in the Go world, and the original meaning was Korean Wave, and the Korean Wave is a homonym for "cold current".
The same is true of this world. It is because from the 90s of the last century to the first five years of this century, the Korean wave of Go was popular for a while, and it frequently won championships in international competitions, so it was called the "Korean Wave" by the Go industry at that time. Later, it was used in the field of football and music entertainment, alluding to the passive position of Chinese music and TV dramas. Since the beginning of the 21st century. The Chinese character "Hallyu" frequently appears in the Korean media. Some newspapers and magazines have even published serialized articles about the popularity of the "Korean Wave" in China and other Asian regions, and argued that "the way out for the Korean economy lies in the Korean Wave."
The phenomenon of the "Korean Wave" has attracted great attention from the South Korean government. The South Korean government has stated that it will take advantage of the "Korean Wave" phenomenon to enter the Chinese cultural goods market more and more extensively, so that the "Korean Wave" will become a bridge to promote exports. In fact, the export value of Korean films, dramas, records and other cultural and entertainment services has indeed increased year after year, and has become a driving force for Korea's cultural industry.
But unlike this world, Lee Jung-hyun, the ever-changing queen of South Korea on Earth, was indeed the first person to introduce Hallyu to China and caused a sensation, followed by the Korean TV series "What is Love" broadcast in China. Then, with the emergence of Korean singers on the Chinese stage, the names of K-pop group singers such as "HOT" and "NRG" spread in China, which aroused the interest and attention of some teenagers in Korean film and television stars and singers, forming a "boom" of K-pop songs, TV dramas and Korean film and television stars.
Therefore, at that time, some domestic newspapers and periodicals called this phenomenon "Hallyu", and the Korean media took over this name. The "Korean Wave" seems to be surging more and more rapidly, and it is spreading to Vietnam, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other countries and regions. Some teenagers have gone from watching Korean TV dramas, listening to Korean songs, and "chasing stars" to pursuing Korean goods, such as Korean cosmetics, wedding dresses, Korean pizza houses, Korean drama costumes, as well as Korean second-hand cars, children's English textbooks and educational toys.
At the same time, a "Dae Jang Geum" also brought Korean food to us, Korean barbecue, Korean kimchi, etc. gradually entered our table. However, some in South Korea's cultural and economic circles are skeptical that the "Korean Wave" will last long. They believe that the "Hallyu" phenomenon is only one phenomenon among teenagers, who have no source of income and have limited financial means. In addition, they are worried that the Chinese government will impose restrictions on the excessive entry of Korean popular culture, and that the Korean cultural industry will not be able to produce more attractive products, which will cause the "Korean Wave" to lose its momentum, which will eventually lead to a flash in the pan.
When Lee Youyang was on Earth, he experienced the arrival of this huge Hallyu and witnessed the golden five years of the Korean Wave, that is, the five years from 2001 to 2005, which began to decline since the second half of 2005. In many ways, there is no shortage of the pre-2005 Hallyu cultural firestorm.
It wasn't until shortly before he merged with the world that Hallyu seemed to be on the rise in China again, and at that time, it was no longer songs that led the Hallyu, but things like "My Love from the Stars" and "The Inheritors" Many Korean dramas, and in the music world, neither Uncle Bird nor the so-called EXO seem to be able to take over the banner of Lee Jung-hyun at that time, even if it is EXO, even if there are countless brain-dead fans, but it seems that there is no such thing as Lee Jung-hyun swept back then, because for a while, Li Youyang also learned about a domestic boy group called TFboy in sync with the earth, although Li Youyang's age and experience make him equally loveless for these three little boys, but it does not affect the fact that he knows, at least this domestic group and EXO are still-for-tat, each accounting for half of the country。 is not as captivating hundreds of millions of fans as Lee Jung-hyun did when he first came to China, and he has an excellent reputation.
Because, Li Zhenxian brought a novel culture to the Chinese music scene, even if the Korean Wave was as fierce as a tiger back then, and because of a number of problems in the 02 World Cup, it also caused countless boycotts by the Chinese people, but the promotion and development of domestic music is obvious to all, and the contribution is indispensable, and there is competition to make progress, and it is precisely because of the influence of the Korean Wave at that time that it inspired the diversified development of domestic musicians, and really began to connect with the world, and constantly came up with their own things with Chinese music characteristics, among which the most representative and influential is Jay Chou's Chinese style。
But then again, what about the Korean Wave in today's era? In addition to causing countless nymphomaniac girls in China to scream and stay awake at night in order to come to China to make money or money, Li Youyang can no longer see more positive significance to domestic pop music, because they will do what we all do at present, and the reason why sometimes we don't do as well as them in terms of senses is not because we don't understand, but because we are too lazy.
