Chapter 103: The Path
Girls' Generation's first album was finally released, and unlike when they debuted, the first week of sales of the album left Saman and the company very satisfied.
After all, the title song of this album is the once popular "Girls' Generation", so not only their fans, but even many people who liked this song back then are willing to listen to it to see how this song is different from Lee Seung-chul's version.
Most of the reviews are, of course, praised.
On the other hand, although everyone knows that Phoebe has the meaning of letting Girls' Generation be an endorsement, everyone hasn't discussed it too much, after all, everyone here in South Korea hasn't even understood it, how do you feel extravagant to look forward to Europe and the United States?
However, the company quickly sued them, and after the endorsement agreement was signed, they had to wear the bracelet watch wherever they were.
At present, as long as there is a Phoebe in Girls' Generation, everyone will definitely wear a bracelet watch, and those who act separately from Phoebe can wear it or not.
The bracelet watch is not heavy, and the appearance is more pleasing than the average watch, and everyone often wears it, only Jessica, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Xiuying, and Yuna These five, for fashion or audition and other reasons, sometimes choose another watch.
Jin Yingmin saw that the sales of the bracelet watch in Europe and the United States after signing the contract were good, and suddenly took the initiative to talk to Phoebe again, and the result became that a bracelet watch was sold, with a corresponding Girls' Generation character pictorial, and a commemorative version of the bracelet watch for the "Girls' Generation" album, but the price of the bracelet watch itself has not changed.
Since most of the people who buy bracelet watches are young people, and the peculiar display of bracelet watches often allows these young people who have bought them to take out and play, which attracts more young people to buy, and some young people bring the bracelet watch to the nightclub to turn on the flashing mode, which makes the sales skyrocket.
It's a hornet's nest.
Due to the popularity of the bracelet watch, the sales figures of Girls' Generation albums have been on the rise, and in the second week of Girls' Generation's return, Girls' Generation was given a place in the SBS Music Bank.
Now many Korean media have something to say, thinking that Girls' Generation's album sales are fake.
However, the company confidently took out the goods list, proving that the album did not have the water to repurchase at all, and used this to focus on promoting that Girls' Generation was favored by the emerging ace electronics companies in Europe and the United States, and an endorsement agreement was signed.
made the entire Korean entertainment industry lose its temper, and could only complain about whose company was so brainless and stupid, and actually paid for Girls' Generation to make a reputation, and on the other hand, he was envious.
There are even people who have tentatively contacted Titan, hoping to find out why Titan is so willing to spend money for the sake of girlhood.
Naturally, no one could find out the results.
Without evidence, it is naturally not good to talk nonsense, and the result can only be watched by the company that is sprinkled with this opportunity to establish a good image of its own company without fraud, and at the same time frantically promote a new product in Europe and the United States, with the help of Girls' Generation's fame, the sales performance is very good.
There is such publicity, although Girls' Generation itself is a beneficiary, but everyone does not want to be asked about the bracelet watch and their fame in Europe and the United States in the show, whenever they are asked about the relevant questions, they feel embarrassed by the face infrared, only Phoebe is very cooperative with the company's publicity strategy, and speaks generously according to the company's fabricated words.
After all, this in itself was the result of her negotiations with Kim Young-min, and her original purpose also included the benefits of Girls' Generation.
However, the sisters in the group all knew that Phoebe must have lost a lot of money for this, so they felt more and more that this little favor was really implementing the dragon boat spirit mentioned last time, and thinking about the group wholeheartedly, and everyone was very grateful.
The entire company felt that Girls' Generation was so lucky to let Phoebe join in the first place, and even Kim Young-min, Lee so-man, and even Park In-bong and other veterans of the entertainment industry also felt so.
With the exception of Phoebe, everyone thinks that Girls' Generation is too lucky.
And Phoebe herself naturally doesn't think about it like this, but finds more and more that Girls' Generation has a little possibility of getting rid of the company's complete control.
In her opinion, the connections established by Sunny herself are Sunny herself, and the connections established by Girls' Generation can only belong to Girls' Generation itself, and the company cannot be allowed to use Girls' Generation to establish contacts in the future.
There's no doubt about that, so she needs to give Girls' Generation the fame she has built without the help of a company, like this bracelet watch album giveaway.
Originally, Kim Yingmin meant that he wanted the bracelet watch to be sold to Japan and South Korea, after all, the European and American regions are full of companies at the moment, and Japan and South Korea are different.
As a result, Phoebe did not agree, but showed the sales curve of the bracelet watch to Kim Young-min, and then offered to buy the "Girls' Generation" album in the name of Titan as a gift for the bracelet watch.
At that time, Kim Young-min thought that Phoebe had a bad brain, but he felt that since he couldn't convince Phoebe to change her sales strategy, it would always be good to sell more albums, so he agreed to Phoebe's request.
As a result, things have become like this now, and the promotion of Girls' Generation in Europe and the United States can be said to have been completely useless and the company has made any efforts, but Titan has paid a lot here.
After all, copyright management in Europe and the United States is also very strict, and many people who bought bracelet watches are naturally willing to get the album as a gift.
In addition, in Europe and the United States, there are basically cars for individuals, and "Girls' Generation" itself is still musical, and suddenly "Girls' Generation" is everywhere, and it has almost become a best-selling song.
Therefore, the songs that are not really there in South Korea suddenly set off a wave of cover songs on YouTube, and the fresh and cute appearance of the ten little girls in the MV of "Girls' Generation" has made many high school students in Europe and the United States learn it.
The flowers bloomed inside the wall and the fragrance outside the wall, and the entire Korean entertainment industry was dumbfounded, and immediately admired the company's public relations ability and vision, and although the company knew the cause and effect of the whole thing, although they were smiling, they all understood in their hearts that the success of Girls' Generation in Europe and the United States this time was all because of one person, and this person himself still belonged to Girls' Generation, which was extremely unfavorable to the company's control of Girls' Generation.
Saman's company can only use this matter to promote itself and Girls' Generation, but there is nothing to be done about Phoebe, people don't ask for more opportunities, two don't ask for a solo album or anything, and the previous treatment is not proposed to be improved now, so they can only secretly ponder and wait for Phoebe to make a request.
And inside Girls' Generation, everyone is naturally very grateful to Phoebe, not to mention the fame in Europe and the United States, just in the second week of their return, they have one who understands that it is impossible to rely on the accumulation of popularity in South Korea alone, and the biggest credit for this one is the part of the sales created by Phoebe's Enceladus.
Phoebe felt the love of her sisters every day, but she didn't say anything, she still used to cook and cook, paint when she should paint, and massage Tiffany and Seo Hyun when she should massage, there is no pride at all, but it makes everyone understand that this is a bad little guy in itself, and even Xiuying, who knows things best, thinks that Phoebe's character is good.
Although everyone in the family is grateful, and this time it is true that they borrowed the bracelet watch, but everyone has not slacked off on the show and on the stage, and has been working hard, and even went to the practice room more often.
There's a reason why people can maintain this attitude.
After getting one for the first time, although she was also very happy, she looked at her sisters on the return car and said a little carried away: "I always feel that this kind of success is different from the success I want, and it is not achieved through hard work." â
At that time, although her words were very light, but it also made the originally noisy car quiet, everyone thought about it, although the sales volume can't be called moisture, but it is indeed not a fan or music lover to create zĂ o, most of it is because of the sales brought up by the gift of Phoebe's bracelet watch, if there is no such good thing in the future, naturally there will not be such an abrupt increase in sales.
When everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say, Zhu Ying, who was in the same car, said: "No matter how you got one, as long as there is one, it is your success, you yourself are good, this time there is just a way for you to rise quickly, don't be discouraged, just keep a good attitude." â
Seeing that Zhu Ying said dryly, she shook her head secretly and looked at Sunny, Well, although Sister Sun was really making a fuss, her eyes were clear, and she was not as excited as others, and after being hit by Xu Xian, she didn't become a little discouraged like others, and she deserved to be Sister Sun.
As for the others, Phoebe thought about it and said, "Xu Xian, in fact, the problem you considered was still one-sided. â
Seo Hyun pouted and looked at Phoebe, it's this guy every time!
Phoebe smiled and continued: "According to Titan's sales records, about 30% of the buyers of the bracelet watch have bought the bracelet watch again, and according to the sales survey, some of these people buy it again in order to get the corresponding style of the sister's pictorial, so although the total sales of the album have indeed increased due to the gift strategy of the bracelet watch, it is not completely meaningless. â
Tiffany reacted at once and asked happily, "You mean, we have already started to have fans in Europe and the United States?" â
Tiffany's question made everyone excited all of a sudden, and Zhu Ying was a little helpless, he might be able to get the sales of the bracelet watch from the company's channels, but the sales survey or something was completely Titan's own trade secret.
And this is an opportunity for Phoebe to pry open the company's big hand and hold down Girls' Generation.
I saw Phoebe nodding and saying, "That's right, everyone has fans in Europe and the United States, according to the survey, not only Asians, but also many whites and blacks like our group." â
For a while, even Xu Xian collected all the secrets just now, and quarreled with his sisters to ask who had the most fans.
"This is a good statistic, the most purchased for the second time is Sister Xiaoyuan's bracelet watch, followed by Sister Xiuying's, and then Sister Taeyeon." Phoebe smiled again.
The car was completely chaotic, and everyone cheered.
However, Taeyeon quickly signaled everyone to be quiet first: "Kids, although we have a lot of fans in Europe and the United States, but in fact, we are still a second-rate group in South Korea, so we can't be complacent, just like Xiaoxian said at the beginning, although it's not entirely right, but we can't think that she is completely wrong, we will continue to work hard in the future, and we can't be complacent." â
"Know~~Dao~~~~~"
Seeing everyone making a fuss, and seeing that everyone was still vigilant, although the assistant team also felt happy, they also faintly felt that something seemed to be wrong.
