Chapter 794: Someone has to bear it

For the assistants of Girls' Generation, the current dormitory of Girls' Generation is indeed the envy of everyone, and everyone knows that this place can only be rented by the personal connections of Barbara, the representative of Universal Music. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After all, this used to be a foreigner community that Koreans were forbidden to enter, although now because the US military has to move south because of the expansion and new base settings, so that a large number of foreigners have also moved south, and then many high-end communities that were originally not allowed to Koreans to enter began to accept Koreans, but relatively speaking, the facilities and space configuration of this kind of high-end community are not comparable to the high-end communities that can be opened to South Koreans, so generally speaking, the rent will be much higher, and even these communities that can be opened to Koreans are also selecting Koreans who can enter, and the general working class is the same as before, don't even think about entering the gate.

In fact, in South Korea, you can completely figure out what a person is just by where you live, but you can't rub it at will...... Of course, the Girls' Generation with the house introduced by Barbara as a dormitory actually holds up an umbrella for the Girls' Generation - that's right, those new idols who live in poor accommodation, only a few people with little social experience will feel pitiful, and more Koreans actually think: Hehe~ There is an opportunity to take advantage of it~

And in the entire Korean entertainment industry, artists are also measured in this way, such as many newcomers have spread the gossip that they have been taken advantage of by the film crew, in fact, it is really not a strange thing at all, because in South Korea, where you live itself determines whether a person needs to contribute something extra to be successful, and the newcomers who debut in the Korean entertainment industry every year are like countless carps crossing the river, if you don't work hard to contribute everything you have, including the self-esteem that will only appear after the excess of worthless self-awareness, then you don't even want to have a chance to stay after a year。

This is the rule of the entertainment industry in South Korea, or rather, the whole world, which is why Phoebe said that everyone is the enemy of Girls' Generation, and the biggest enemy is within the company.

Although Girls' Generation seems to have a good background and a high status, and Phoebe uses various opportunities to escort the group, there should be no problem with future development.

But the problem is that other artists are either in ruin, with the determination to do it even if they are dead or disabled, or they rely on their own superior resources, which are more direct and accurate than the family members of Girls' Generation, and firmly occupy the upper echelons of the entertainment industry, making Girls' Generation seem to have a good future, but in fact, it is true that if you don't pay attention to it, it will be doomed- In fact, if it weren't for the family's inability to provide accurate resources, the members of Girls' Generation would not have come to Saman's company to form a group, and even from a certain point of view, Yuna really thought that it was a brain-dead decision for her to come to Saman's company when she had the opportunity to star in "You Are My Destiny".

However, for Girls' Generation and her family, they really don't know how to promote the development of this group.

At the same time, because when Kim Young-min selected the members of the group, he was also worried that his family would unite and threaten the company, so the family forces of the members of the Girls' Generation selected by him could not unite to provide all-round protection for Girls' Generation, and could only provide supplementary resource protection for the company to a certain extent, which limited the possibility of Girls' Generation's independence; - Well, it's really different with Phoebe.

But as I said before, Sunny has decided that in the future route, he would rather have no authority in Girls' Generation, and he doesn't want Phoebe to occupy a position of authority, so Phoebe naturally won't do much to do what Taeyeon should do but didn't do, in other words, Sunny's decision is destined to Girls' Generation will not become a group known for group action- Of course, it's still the same sentence, it's all Taeyeon's fault, who made her think that everyone has grown up, even Phoebe is eighteen years old, so no one needs her to be wordy?

Well, to get back to the point, Phoebe's busy changing the ideological image of Girlhood is actually related to the dynamic intelligence she has collected in the American and European entertainment circles, such as the reality show "Walking with the Kardashian Sisters" that began in the United States in 07, in fact, it has completely eliminated the popularity of Korean-style idol groups in the United States and even the whole of Western Europe. In fact, one thing that everyone admits is that Korean groups in Europe and the United States, most of the time, are liked by marginalized and excluded people, because in the eyes of most people in Europe and the United States who have had a social life since childhood, the performance of Korean groups on TV is too strong, and they are not at all like reality TV stars who will sincerely present their personal emotions to the audience, and people who lack social experience, that is, marginalized people and excluded people, will indeed be attracted by the Korean group's contrived performances, plus as mentioned before, Korean songs are used a lot"You" and "your" are very similar to the pronunciation of in English, which also makes things popular in Korea cold in the United States and Europe, of course, for Asians, because they are not as experienced as Europeans and Americans in terms of social experience, and there is no such taboo as in the cultural language, so what is popular in Korea can be popular in Asia.

In other words, Phoebe understands very well that the idol group culture in the form of Korean entertainment culture is actually specially created for the cultural characteristics of Asia, that is to say, if she wants to make Girls' Generation popular in Europe and the United States without making changes, it is simply a fool's dream, so she needs to make the group at least present something different from Asian culture in terms of ideological nature, and at the same time, it is also the last reason why she has always wanted Girls' Generation to get rid of the Korean label.

For Europeans, the most famous thing for Koreans is their despicable performance in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, and most importantly, all the people of South Korea at that time were not ashamed of the victory obtained by cheating, but the whole country celebrated the Korean team's entry into the semi-finals, which gave Europe and Americans the impression that they were actually celebrating cheating and we can't do anything about it, they may think that this is because their national strength has risen to the level that we dare not heat。 Just like what Nazi Germany did at the Munich Olympics seventy years ago......

That's right, at that time, many people in the West did associate Koreans with the German Nazis, and it was also at that time that South Korea's reputation was due to the fact that the whole people advocated cheating and cheered for the success of cheating, and there was an impression in the hearts of Europeans and Americans that "Koreans are liars".

This is also the reason why when China and Japan later ridiculed South Korea for usurping its own cultural heritage, the international community generally believed in China and Japan -- you know, Japan was just right, and at that time, the international community initially believed in South Korea relatively more, even if China was one of the P5, it was useless. However, as Koreans celebrated their cheating in fair sports events, and ridiculed other countries and teams that really competed for not knowing what it meant to seek victory by unscrupulous means, and even cheating in various sports competitions later, the villain character of the whole nation that the whole nation pursues is gradually becoming known to the world.

As a result, South Korea's national credit and people's credit have been reduced to varying degrees. In fact, South Korea's economic credit rating is indeed influenced by the international perception of its national character to a certain extent, which is why South Korea has not been able to get out of any economic crisis on its own - yes, no bank believes in Koreans, at least when the economic environment tends to deteriorate, the bank will downgrade South Korea's credit rating in the first place, which is why Korean companies feel particularly difficult in every economic crisis. The country's low financial credit rating prevents companies from borrowing much-needed funds from banks, further deteriorating the South Korean economy.

The most important thing is that European sports fans understand better that all the practices of South Koreans in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea before were actually one of the revenge of the European media against the report of South Koreans eating dog meat during the Seoul Olympics in the last century, because the South Koreans themselves said that they "finally avenged 88 years of revenge" when celebrating In the first case, this made European sports fans very puzzled at the time, and later after several inquiries, it turned out that South Koreans had been thinking about the Seoul Olympics more than ten years ago, and the European media revealed that South Koreans were still secretly eating dog meat, and even some South Korean athletes were convinced that eating dog meat was a guarantee of combat effectiveness, so that some Korean athletes were criticized by European audiences -- yes, Europeans and Americans also learned the Korean tradition of holding grudges.

Of course, no one knows whether the Chinese's actions will be well-intentioned, or the story of the national farmer and the snake will be staged, but many European and American people do not need media guidance at all, and they see that the Chinese do not like to trade seriously with fair trade countries, but eagerly support the fact that countries known for revenge and cheating really make many people feel surprised and funny, of course, to a certain extent, so that many people think that Chinese are probably the same as Koreans, like to hold grudges, and like to cheat, and, all love dog meat。

The reason is that there is a popular view in Europe and the United States: when looking at a person's personality, if you can't understand it, you can observe what kind of people are around him and what kind of people he is willing to associate with.

In practice, Westerners have higher requirements for seeing a person as soon as possible because they need to do a lot of social activities since childhood, but human nature itself is complex, so Westerners are more and more accustomed to judging the person's quality through the people around him, rather than feeling what kind of personality the person is.

On the contrary, in China, the beginning time of real personal social activities is generally after the age of sixteen or even nineteen, so that Chinese generally begin to try to observe others after they have a certain foundation of personal cultivation, which causes Chinese to habitually observe a person through a person's personal perception, and rarely evaluate that person by observing the people around a person, which to some extent increases the time cost and energy cost of Chinese social activities, but it makes Chinese get much more spiritual gains from social activities than in Europe and the United States。

In other words, because of the high rate of social activities of Europeans and Americans, in fact, their inner world is extremely empty, and they need to find real friends, but the ladder culture model makes it difficult for them to make real friends, so they have to hold ladders more frequently, accelerate social activities, and frequently hold banquets and cocktail parties like drinking doves to quench their thirst, while the form of social activities in China pays more attention to the quality of social activities rather than the number of social activities, which is the essential difference.

From a certain point of view, the social activities of Europeans and Americans are like insects, which need to create as many possibilities as possible, while the social activities of Chinese are more like higher mammals and pay more attention to quality, so it is difficult for Chinese to let foreigners understand what is a gentleman's friendship, and it is also difficult for foreigners to let Chinese understand why people often shout after getting drunk: everyone loves me!

If we analyze the pattern of reading comprehension in primary school Chinese, when foreigners shout like this, they are actually expressing their inner loneliness and boredom, as well as their helplessness to a tragic fate.

And this essential difference will also be reflected in the understanding of other countries, just like the Chinese perceive other countries, first want to exhaust the connection between this country and China, and then the country's own behavior and performance, and then the Chinese will form an independent perception based on this country; when the people of Western countries understand other countries, they first look at the countries around the country, if they see that the surrounding countries know themselves, then they will think that the country is at least to some extent similar to the surrounding country, and so on and so on, until this person thinks that he understands the country, in fact, Western social softwareFor example, there is a logic that you know among the six people like Facebook, which is actually based on this cognitive system - this is also the reason why the model of Moments can be successful, because this model of socialization does not need to invest too much effort at all, and can greatly reduce the time and energy cost invested in social interaction like Europeans and Americans......

Many people who go abroad will say that foreigners pay great attention to personal privacy, even if they are friends, they will not tell many things - in fact, it is because you are just their general friends, or in other words, friends in the circle of friends, they are too lazy to have an in-depth understanding with you, because there are a lot of friends like this around foreigners, and they can't take care of them at all, so they should pay attention to personal privacy......

And unfortunately...... None of the countries around China are eye-catching in Europe and the United States...... This is also the reason why when China hosted the Olympic Games, Western countries were generally not optimistic and not very supportive.

To get back to the point, Phoebe understands the difference in the cognitive level of the country she wants to promote Girls' Generation, so she will promote the adjustment of Girls' Generation's image in a targeted manner. For example, for the people of European and American countries, the issue of abandoning the Korean label - of course, it is undeniable that this matter is actually applicable to the Chinese market, in other words, Phoebe really obeyed South Korea; for example, for the Chinese people, she will try to make the Chinese people feel that Girls' Generation is seriously engaging with the Chinese, and the previous Three Kingdoms-themed movies have made many people at least recognize - Although Fei Bi slandered Zhao Yun, but people actually slandered the reason, after all, Zhao Yun did abandon his hometown, followed Liu Bei to Sichuan like an idealist, and left the hometown people who raised him to the butcher knife of the northern invaders, so among the national heroes respected by the Chinese, there is Zhang Liao without Zhao Yun, even Lü Bu also became discredited because of later events, after all, Lü Bu was also one of the generals who stood on the front line of resisting foreign aggression, and at least Phoebe explained things clearly, so the Chinese generally bought this account。

This sincere attitude of communication, rather than the attitude of the West to engage with China with inherent impressions, is indeed what Chinese like, after all, their initial social model is this one, so naturally, it is a good start for Girls' Generation to enter China.

As an aside, Phoebe's plan for Mira and Troy to become "old friends of the Chinese" actually took this route.

For Girls' Generation, the burden is too heavy to move forward.

In Phoebe's eyes, girlhood must pay a lot of price, or give up a lot of unnecessary things in order to better climb up, such as representing South Korea or something, and there will be something about girlhood in the future.

Of course, there may be an easier way, for example, to raise South Korea's national strength to the level that the United States also needs to look up to, so that it will be much easier for Girls' Generation to promote it to the outside world, but not to mention how many difficulties will be faced during the promotion of South Korea's status, just look at Phoebe's view that all the artists of the same company are enemies, how can she be willing to help the entire Korean entertainment industry? Of course, if all Koreans listen to Phoebe like the Titan people, then she may change her mind, but this is obviously impossible, and Phoebe will not be willing to be responsible for nearly 50 million people, in fact, even the life and death and safety of the current nearly 30,000 Enceladus employees, she feels a little troublesome, and she wants to get rid of it, because she always thinks that there is no one else who will accompany her to the end except Sister Sun.

But as I said just now, the existence of Titan is of great significance to the upward development of Girls' Generation, so Phoebe naturally has to take care of the development of Titan, and then use the tentacles produced by the development of Titan to drive the development of Girls' Generation, no way, who made Sister Sun choose to debut as a member of an idol group in South Korea at the beginning, unless Sister Sun can accept the idea of Phoebe controlling the people of the world, otherwise Phoebe only has this seemingly very troublesome way to promote Girls' Generation to move forward。

Of course, it's also because Phoebe understands that if Girls' Generation discards the Korean label ordinarily, it can only be reduced to going abroad with many other people to develop, especially like WG that went to the United States to develop, after losing the Korean label, there is no summary and condensation of new meaning of existence, and the end can only be gradually reduced to passers-by, whether abroad or in South Korea, so from a certain point of view, Phoebe's timing of selection is indeed not something that every group will encounter, as I said before, if the predecessors do not launch a rebellion against the company, Phoebe will have to promote the rebellion of the predecessors, of course, Phoebe also has the strength to let the predecessors rebel……
