Chapter 188: See Su Weilan again
Regarding how powerful the song "nobady" is, Cheng Xiaoyu knows very clearly, after all, this is the first Korean group song he has watched many times, in fact, he was quite disgusted with Hallyu music before this, and felt that HOT was too noisy, so he didn't talk about the modeling, and he couldn't understand it completely. I feel that TVXQ eats with his face, and the music is not very audible. (Purely personal opinion, please forgive if you are offended)
At that time, the Korean girl group WG directly reached the top with this song "NOBODY", breaking the myth that there are only boy groups in South Korea, creating a prosperous era of girl groups, and being called a national girl, this song is the first Asian music to enter the American Billboard. But the tragedy is that JYP is a convulsive company, and directly planned WG to develop in the United States, giving the Yankees room for development in a young time, but the Yankees failed to make a name for themselves, and when they returned to China, they found that they dominated with "GEE" when they were young, and they never found their place.
But the status of the song "nobody" is not in doubt, because although this song cannot be said to be the first Asian song to enter the US Billboard, it is actually about the same, this is the fourth Asian singer and the fifth Asian single in the history of Billboard HOT100. But the last time I entered the HOT100 singles chart was back in 1979, and the single "KISSINTHEDARK" by ピンク?レディー (PINKLADY), who ranked 37th. After that, no one in Asia entered the HOT100 until "nobody" came out.
Of course, there are still a lot of album charts that can be on the album chart in terms of sales (Xueyou, Faye Wong, and Jay have all been on it), but that doesn't represent global influence, or influence in the European and American worlds.
First of all, let's talk about the past and present life of billboard, an American music magazine founded in 1894. In 1958 and 1963, the hot100 singles chart and the 200 album chart were released respectively, and they were the two most influential charts after that. As a number list, Billboard includes physical, digital, streaming sales, commercial radio broadcasts, MV hits, and the comprehensive number of major social platforms, etc., which directly reflects the acceptance of music works released in the United States, and has become a very credible list.
WonderGirls reached No. 76 on the hot100 singles chart with a song "Nobody" that lasted four months, the dance singles sales chart for 15 consecutive weeks, and more than 3,000 videos parodying or adapting the cover of "Nobody" appeared on Youtube. This was a miracle at the time. (And after that, no one has been able to enter, until Uncle Bird's "Gangnam STYLE" came out, and only then did the sixth Asian single enter the HOT100, global pop culture cannot be said to have originated in the United States, grew up in the United States, and the general trend is also in the United States, so the significance of this list is indeed extraordinary, if grammy is professional and represents the height of the work, then billboard illustrates the taste of the masses and represents the breadth.) )
That's not to mention that WG swept various Korean awards in '08-09 with "nobody". (2008 "Nobody" MusicBank Multi-week No. 1, MKMF Best Girl Group Award, MKMF "Nobody" Grand Prize, MKMF "Nobody" Best MV Award, MKMF "Nobody" Best Girl Group, MKMF "Nobody" Song of the Year Award, TVN '2008 Highest Value' WG No. 3, No. 1 among Female Artists, Korean Top 10 Most Popular Search Words of the Year WG No. 4, Golden Disc Award "Nobody") Won the Music Source Album Award. 2009 Asian Model Music Festival 'Asian Star Award', 18th Seoul Music Awards Digital Music Award, 18th Seoul Music Awards Grand Prize (the first girl group Fin.k.l in Korean history to win this award in 09 years), the 18th Seoul Music Awards Main Award, the third place on the Forbes Celebrity Ranking List in Korea, the first place in the online vote of the Pop Music Awards, and the Group Award at the Korea Pop Music Awards).
This is also the reason why Cheng Xiaoyu chose this song as the debut track of the idol plan. Because it is unique, because it is foolproof, after all, it is impossible for him to redo the entire album planned by his idol, but no matter how bad the album is, with this song, it will be a hit.
And then as long as he is recording the MV of another song he has prepared, even if the task is completed, with these two songs, he can get enough voice and wait for the recording of the next album, this is his complete idea.
Because the recording of the second MV was not in a hurry, Cheng Xiaoyu was much more leisurely, and the team sent by the Shanghe publicity and distribution department had just arrived and was preparing to take over the publicity plan for the idol plan.
Cheng Xiaoyu took Zhiyan to see Wang Dongliang in the afternoon and sent someone to help him choose a house. Cheng Xiaoyu originally planned to take Xiao Zhiyan and her grandmother to live in Shanghai, but her grandmother didn't want to leave the capital, so she had to give up.
He took Xiao Zhiyan by the hand, and when he was about to walk out of the Xiyu gate with Wang Dongliang's Volkswagen car key, he happened to meet Su Weilan who came with the Shanghe publicity and distribution department.
Su Weilan is actually only in the economic department of the Beijing branch in Shanghe, and the temporary position is not only for that salary, but also to facilitate the cultural company that he and his friends are making up to get resources from Shanghe to hold commercial performances or concerts.
This time the idol plan is still quite big in Shanghe, almost everyone knows about it, he rushed over just to watch the excitement, he also heard about Cheng Xiaoyu's legend, but he didn't believe that it was made by the illegitimate son who looked a little bun last winter.
The two happened to meet at the door, because Su Weilan looked at a wall in a daze, and didn't know how to enter Xiyu's company, when Cheng Xiaoyu led Xiao Zhiyan out, the two of them just stared at each other.
Su Weilan saw that it was Cheng Xiaoyu, who was white and chubby, and immediately laughed, hung up the phone and said, "Xiaoyu, you and Xi Xi are too, you have come to the capital for so long and don't call my brother, if I hadn't heard from the people in the company that you are in the capital, I don't know, you are not allowed to leave today, wait for the pull down, I will call Hongwen and Fei Fei, and we will get together." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu saw that Su Weilan was fine, but as soon as he heard him say that he wanted to contact Su Hongwen and Su Feifei, he didn't believe that Su Weilan didn't know that he was in the capital for a long time, and it might not be a good thing to find him today, so he hurriedly shirked and said, "It may not work today, second brother, you see if it's okay another day, I finally took a little time to look at the house today." ”
Su Weilan looked at the porcelain doll-like little Zhiyan with great interest, he hadn't looked at the little flower girl that night, so he naturally couldn't recognize who she was, and he didn't have much curiosity about the little Lori, so he asked, "Are you going to buy a house?" ”
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I don't have money to buy it for the time being, let's rent it first!" Thinking of the rising housing prices in the capital, Cheng Xiaoyu was also a little helpless at the moment, he also wanted to buy a villa with a wave of his hand and wait for the appreciation.
Su Weilan pretended to be a little angry and said, "What house do you rent when you go back to your hometown in the capital?" Afraid that there will be no place for you to live? ”
Cheng Xiaoyu really didn't want to be wordy, so he said honestly, "I didn't live by myself, I rented it for others." ”
Su Weilan smiled with relief and said, "Say it earlier, it's okay, this matter is on the second brother, Shanghe Branch has rented several houses as dormitories in Huaao Center, all of which are for some second- and third-tier stars, and now there are just two sets empty, I will give you one set, but the room is not very big seventy or eighty square meters, and the decoration is still good." Because Sun Jingyao lives in Beijing, and where Sun Jingyao's qualifications live is not enough, it is also Su Weilan's greeting.
Cheng Xiaoyu hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll go and see for myself, just rent a house." ”
Su Weilan grabbed Cheng Xiaoyu's arm but didn't allow it, directly picked up the phone and flipped through the phone book, and called, and it was done in three or two sentences, and said to Cheng Xiaoyu, "The house is still very good, the location is good, the third ring capital is normal, and the transportation is also convenient, I will give you Lao Zhou's phone, you call him directly when you arrive at the Huaao Center, and he will give you the key." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu had no choice but to thank: "Second brother, I'm bothering you." ”
Su Weilan patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are the two brothers talking about?" You go and come back quickly, waiting for you to have dinner together. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu really couldn't refuse at this time, so he could only say, "Okay." Just as he was about to leave, Su Weilan stopped him again, "Hey, Xiao Yu, wait, help me open the door." ”
Cheng Xiaoyu took the staff card he hung on his chest and brushed it in front of the glass feather, and the invisible door suddenly appeared and slid silently to the sides. Su Weilan was amazed, and didn't pay attention to the word president on the card.
Cheng Xiaoyu waved his hand to Su Weilan and said, "I'll see you later." And the two separated.
He got into Wang Dongliang's public, helped Xiao Zhiyan fasten his seat belt, turned on the navigation and drove towards the Huaao Center.
