Chapter 209: A Solid Foundation

The market's requirements for women's groups are actually different from those of men's groups, and in earlier times, most brokerage companies used the model of supporting men's groups to support women's groups, which caused the situation that women's groups have been firmly suppressed by men's groups.

In other words, the Korean market for men's groups has already been exhausted, but for women's groups, major brokerage companies can't see a better development direction for the time being.

This situation has changed a little after the combination of Girls' Generation, who were not supposed to be rivals, was artificially set as opponents to hype up their popularity.

Of course, it is the external economic environment that really makes a difference.

Try to recall it, you can find that the historical period of the great development of idol groups in the Korean entertainment industry is always accompanied

This is not to pour dirty water on the entertainment industry, but in the case of an unfavorable economic environment, whether it is a cost problem or a capital problem, it will provide better treatment than usual for an industry like the entertainment industry, which turns around quickly.

And now the girlhood is facing such a good opportunity, the unemployment rate of the economic environment will inevitably make the men of the main labor force of the society have more free time, relatively speaking, watching TV, which does not cost too much money to entertain people, has naturally become people's preferred way of leisure, for normal men, watching a group of men dancing on stage and selling cuteness is really a shameful thing; and watching Lee Hyori as a representative type of performance, but can not soothe and let them be devastated by the economic environment, as for the traditional singers, have seen enough in the past few decades。

At this time, from the beginning, the new girl group that kept up with the girl's generation, with a cute, healthy and upward posture full of ignorance and longing for society, naturally blew a fresh wind into the hearts of those who were hit by reality, so although it was in an economic crisis, the market size of the girl group was uncharacteristically gradually showing signs of parting from the boy group- It is difficult for women to pay for their idols after they get married, but men are different, because the girl group is not their idol, but a haven in their hearts.

If this is the case, then the second generation of the girl group cannot be said to have encountered an opportunity to rise, but after combining another factor, the rise of the girl group will be unstoppable, that is, the army.

As we all know, all Korean men need to enter the military after the age of 20 and before the age of 30, and unless they are assigned to serve as vigilantes in a city not far from their homes, or in other less strictly regulated departments, they need to be trapped in an all-man place and stay for two years, which Koreans call a military prison.

In October 2007, then-South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun walked across the 38th parallel and jointly issued the Declaration on the Development and Peace of Inter-Korean Relations with Kim Jong-il, which was followed by several talks between the South and the South and even the opening of a train in December after a 56-year hiatus.

There is a problem here, the construction and maintenance of railways is not an overnight job, so ...... With the greatest malice, it is hard to believe that Roh Moo-hyun pushed for such a process without his own political purpose, perhaps like the chancellor who promoted the unification of East and West Germany, thinking about such a work not only for his own sake, but also for the presidential election.

Therefore, most of the South Korean people and even the military do not buy his account, after all, in the case of a bad international economic environment, the government has to fund this kind of thing, and the taxpayers are not stupid, most people think that his real purpose is actually aimed at the general election, plus in the Taliban South Korean hostage incident, the South Korean government he led was greatly embarrassed in the international community, although it has won a lot of praise in domestic public opinion, but in the real election, he lost to Lee Myung-bak, who is very good at economic construction.

But Lee Myung-bak had to pinch his nose and admit what the former president had done, and as for whether there was fire in his heart, it is not something we can guess.

Although on the surface there is a signal of reconciliation between the North and the South, the problem is that such a reconciliation does not come from the will of the majority of the people, yes, most people in South Korea actually do not want reconciliation between the North and the South, because there are too many forces around people to fear, especially once they are reconciled, it is difficult to say whether the merged country can get benefits from the big country around them, and it may even make them face the pressure of direct border with the big countries around them...... (There are other currents of thought, so we won't talk about them.) )

The problem is that the major powers of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty will not sit idly by and watch the North develop this, and the United States for some reason cannot directly do it, so it has turned on the ultimate offensive weapon of financial sanctions, although it has successfully forced North Korea back to the negotiating table, but it has also revealed a problem, that is, North Korea has found a way to make its voice heard in the same way as the shelling of South Korea.

The question is, will the North Koreans be attacked and turn to South Korea to vent their anger?

In the last century, when the United States had not yet intervened, they had not forgotten the memory of South Korea being beaten by North Korea......

The pressure on the top level of the South Korean side is unprecedentedly great, so the pressure on the grassroots soldiers of the South Korean army is not ordinarily large, which requires an effective and positive channel to reduce the pressure.

In the north, everyone shouts slogans, and the pressure will definitely be clear, which is not a problem for them, but in the south things are much more complicated.

There have always been some bad traditions in Han **, for example, veterans will physically punish recruits, and even veterans will do things that men and men can't do to recruits, which is actually no secret for a long time. With so much pressure, the behavior of the soldiers is naturally more unpredictable, and the current means of information are very simple, so it is impossible for the soldiers to recruit women who are engaged in the massage industry to relieve the pressure, what can I do?

Therefore, the female artists in the entertainment industry have caught up with this good time, even if there is no money to get to the army condolence performance, but everyone understands that after retiring, those soldiers who used to cheer for them in the audience will still love them and become their loyal fans.

If a woman has been a man's spiritual pillar for a long time, it will be difficult for this man to forget that woman, even if that woman is out of reach.

After watching too many strong women and goblin-type artists, the soldiers began to need some new types of female artists, and Girls' Generation happened to appear at this time.

But the two economic companies think differently.

Since her debut, she has always been very strong, at least in terms of the occupation of the girl group market, she is better than Girls' Generation, plus a well-known divine comedy ", which makes the table extremely eye-catching.

This makes the planner Park Jin-young high-spirited, and he has even begun to make his debut in the United States, which naturally makes him sometimes unable to see the situation clearly.

On the other hand, on the side of Girls' Generation, there are no highly sung works, so that they themselves are still in a catch-up position at this time, although they have won one of the many music programs, and the social response is not bad, but through the analysis of Guò Company and Phoebe, let them know that there is still a long way to go.

And because the person in charge of the direct planning of Girls' Generation is not Lee so-man, but Kim Young-min, who was born as a professional manager, so his judgment of the situation is more macroscopic, perhaps he chose many not very good ways in order to stir up the fame of Girls' Generation, but at least in judging the overall situation outside the entertainment industry, the ability of professional managers is stronger than Lee so-man and Park Jin-young.

Therefore, Girls' Generation began in 08 and accepted a lot of itineraries for military charity performances, and these itineraries are actually difficult for people who are fans to know. Of course, such an itinerary was actually accepted by the families of some sisters after their efforts, after all, there are many female artists who grab such opportunities.

And the senior sister group of Girls' Generation, at the best time, because they did not have such a visionary leader, did not fight for military performances, so that although they debuted earlier than Girls' Generation, and also enjoyed the resources of the company, they were not as popular as the later Girls' Generation.

Therefore, the success of girls' generation is not only their own success, but the success of many people.

Well, another thing to say is that the men's group is absolutely losing to the women's group in this regard, the men's group is a big hit, it is the victory of the little girls, and the big hit of the women's group is actually the victory of the military fans, especially after the military recovers, its purchasing power is definitely not comparable to the girls in school.

So the question is, since for Girls' Generation, there are two foundations that can be used as the basis for their popularity, why did Kim Young-min use scandals to promote Girls' Generation at the beginning?

Very simply, before this, due to the limitations of means of communication, the votes and support of military fans and men who have encountered social pressure could not be received by the brokerage company of the girl group in time, so to speak, the emergence of smartphones and the Internet completely solved the problem.

Although Jin Yingmin can have a general judgment of the situation at this time, he is limited by his previous experience and is under the pressure of the board of directors on performance, so he has to do something to learn from ready-made experience and hype up scandals, which is naturally one of the most commonly used and successful means in the American entertainment industry.

Phoebe is generally not wrong in her judgment of the international situation and the impact on South Korea, but she has fewer resources than Kim Yingmin, although Titan seems to be developing very well now, but in fact, the current Titan does not meet her requirements, and needs to be further adjusted and transformed, so that the thoughts of employees are further unified under her command, so although she can see some things, she can't come up with effective means to solve them.

Just like the employees sent by Germany to help her set up the Titan branch this time, after her secret psychological tests, seven people were finally selected, and there are only three employees who can completely share her heart and mind in Germany, such a force is insignificant for influencing the company's decision-making.

However, at least she was relieved to see that under the leadership of Kim Yingmin, Girls' Generation has made great strides on the road of condolence performances, it can be said that as long as you pay attention to the remarks of the good sisters and don't give the outside world any chance, it is not very difficult for them to surpass, and because of the military fans, when they go abroad, they don't even have to worry too much about their status in the country, this diǎn has not been noticed by the girl group, and the men's group, to be honest, because of the problem of joining the army, they are not popular in the army, and naturally they do not have this feeling。

In fact, any team needs a solid base to develop its career elsewhere, and the same is true for the entertainment industry.

Therefore, at a recent condolence performance, Phoebe made an amazing speech about everyone's ideal type in response to the audience's question: "My ideal type, first of all, is a professional soldier, who can try his best to help me get out of danger when I am in danger." ”

"Isn't that a personal abuse of power?" the moderator asked hesitantly.

"If a soldier's wife is in danger, the state should be more attentive to help than civilians, and if it can't help, then as a soldier's husband, how can it be called abusing power for personal gain?

The host of "......" was speechless, and the majority of officers and soldiers who were carried away by Phoebe's words responded with extremely warm applause and cheers, making the rest of Girls' Generation look at each other, Phoebe said this, is it really okay?

But the reaction from the stands made them understand that the IQ of Xiao Xian is worthy of being above everyone, and she extended this problem to the treatment that soldiers who are obligated to the country should enjoy in turn, and cleverly downplayed the previous ideal problem, which instigated the group of people who broke up after 40% of their families joined the army in the audience into brainless fans.

SNN didn't talk to anyone else, nor did he exchange glances with others, but looked at the hot atmosphere in the audience with a little flickering......
