Chapter 873: Breakthrough?

In fact, it is not only Kim Young-min who attaches importance to the entertainer intermediary of this issue of KBS, it can be said that the entire entertainment industry, and even various TV stations, attach great importance to the entertainer intermediary of this issue.

As we all know, although KBS is nominally composed of private capital, a closer look at its shareholding structure will show that KBS is South Korea's national television, and of course, even if its shareholding structure is not carefully examined, its performance has always been very similar to that of South Korea's national television.

As a result, KBS has been given a far higher priority in terms of resources than the other two stations, let alone the smaller ones, for some news events. For example, when Girls' Generation was hacked by all of Korea last year, it was also initiated by KBS.

To a certain extent, the news trend of Chosun Ilbo and KBS determines the tendency of other Korean media to report on specific events, so for example, for the case of Girls' Generation winning the Teen Choice Award in the United States, on the one hand, KBS and Chosun Ilbo need to stand up and "guide" the direction of the report for everyone, and on the other hand, the interviews before Girls' Generation is interviewed by these two interviews will not be generally recognized in the circle.

The most important thing is that Girls' Generation suddenly received an award in the United States because of a work that was not broadcast in South Korea, which actually made people except for Girls' Generation fans feel very inexplicable, in fact, for example, the Three Kingdoms movie shot by Phoebe in order to promote Taeyeon's image also won an award at the Kunming Film Festival in China, but Taeyeon's starring role did not win the award, so the entire Korean entertainment industry, including Saman itself, is a little overwhelmed by this situation, and does not know how to explain to the people why Girls' Generation has two works that have not been released or broadcast in South Korea, that is, how can a work that most Koreans have never heard of win an award abroad......

Therefore, the Kunming Film Festival also invited Girls' Generation, but at that time, Girls' Generation was in the stage of GENIE's singing death trip, and there was no time to go, and Phoebe, as the director, also said that the film was completed with the strong support of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Art Academy, so she hoped to return the favor, and the relevant contact person of the People's Liberation Army Art Academy and the film attended on her behalf, although on the surface it seems that some do not pay attention to the meaning of the Kunming Film Festival, but for the PLA art academy system, Phoebe has always had a good attitude towards Chinese soldiers, which does make them faintly feel that Phoebe is not fake polite, but really artificialTherefore, many people from the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, although they regretted that Phoebe could not go to China as the chief director, they are still very optimistic about the future cooperation- As mentioned before, although Phoebe shows a very weak ability in interpersonal communication, she is actually unwilling to waste time for unimportant people, and in this matter, Phoebe's attitude towards the Chinese military is actually very similar to that of the U.S. military, that is, she actually treats the entire military as a person, so the effect is far better than when other people interact with the military, focusing on a certain person in the military, and can also avoid many troubles.

Similarly, on the South Korean side, Phoebe actually has the same attitude towards the South Korean military, and she also strongly recommended increasing the number of condolence performances in the army, Phoebe's attitude towards the South Korean military is actually the reason why KBS supported Phoebe under the pressure of public opinion when Phoebe served as the anchor later-In fact, some of the shareholders in KBS are from the military, and such an equity structure can actually be traced back to the period when RB ruled the Korean Peninsula.

Although Saman Company went to the United States to participate in the award ceremony during Girls' Generation, the trend of news operation was that "Girls' Generation represented South Korea to open up the international market and reached the other side of the Pacific", but in general, it is still somewhat contradictory to the current trend of South Korea's speech. In addition, as I said before, whether it is Phoebe or Saman, they were "caught off guard" when they were nominated for Girls' Generation, so the preparation time for public opinion propaganda was seriously insufficient, so although Saman Company's previous publicity orientation, under the joint command of Kim Yingmin and Lee Xiuman, there was no boycott of Girls' Generation - the reason for this boycott is most likely that other agencies hope to make "Girls' Generation, which has opened up the situation in the United States" Study WG and never go back to Korea for a few years.

Although there was a rift between Kim Young-min and Lee so-man again, but the outside world still didn't know at this time, the airport photos show that Lee so-man, who used to like to grab credit, let BOA stand in front of the media, such a situation is obviously because the cooperation between Lee so-man and Kim Young-min is still close, and Lee so-man no longer needs to remind other shareholders of his role by grabbing credit, and push BOA to "lead the team" In terms of role, she is obviously cultivating the company's next generation of guardians of order, and she is obviously a candidate that Lee so-man and Kim Young-min are very satisfied with.

Therefore, the direction of concern of other brokerage companies is naturally to see what role the BOA played in the United States in the itinerary of Girls' Generation, and if possible, whether their own artists can reach some cooperation with Saman Company in foreign development.

Therefore, although the ratings of this issue of the entertainer intermediary have not risen too significantly, the attention of the industry is very high.

And there is another reason for the high attention in the industry, that is, the president of the KBS Artist Association, the real top task among artists, Kim Yong-chul served as the MC of this interview, and everyone who understands this signal actually understands what the significance of him being an MC from Daegu is, that is, this is not only KBS's endorsement of Girls' Generation's achievements in the United States, but also the Eastern Alliance itself is endorsing this matter- Therefore, even if some brokerage companies are jealous of the company and quickly seize the commanding heights of the girl group, they no longer dare to join forces with the media to encourage Girls' Generation to develop in the United States.

In fact, it is also because of the statement that KBS and the Southeast Alliance forces sent Kim Young-chol as MC that Kim Young-min saw other possibilities, and I have to say that sometimes, even Phoebe herself could not predict the development of things, at least she was far away in the UK, and now she really doesn't know why South Korea's Southeast Alliance is so girly.

The members of Girls' Generation on TV are really suppressed by the identity of this senior in the entertainment industry, but Kim Yingzhe is very approachable, with the attitude of seeing the juniors he is very willing to support, of course, because his main business is an actor, his ability to host is really not very good, so a good entertainment program of KBS2 was stunned by him to become a serious program of KBS1.

But even so, the ratings have not decreased much, but have improved, after all, his status is there, and he is the host for the first time, and the content of the program is an interview with Girls' Generation, who has just won an award in the United States, and naturally, the range of viewers is much larger.

Although the hosting skills are not very good, Kim Yingzhe has been in the entertainment industry for many years after all, and he has taken on specific management work, so there is still no big problem with the host of the guest interview, and he naturally asked some questions on behalf of the audience, of course, there are also some questions that are asked on behalf of insiders.

For example, Kim Yong-chol's first question after the show began: "I heard that when you walk the red carpet in the United States, you all go in supercars, how do you feel?"

When I was in Los Angeles, the members of Girls' Generation were told that the supercar ride should not be displayed in South Korea, and even if the public did not say anything about it, the seniors would have an opinion, so Taeyeon took the initiative to say, "It feels great, but the traffic jam in Los Angeles is very serious, and the speed cannot be raised at all, so it feels like a normal car." ”

The others nodded their heads:

"Well, it feels the same as making any other car. ”

"It's a little different, sitting in such a low position that it feels like you can get under other cars if you're not careful, which is quite scary. ”

"Hmm~"

Kim Young-chul smiled: "You girls don't seem to know much about cars, and supercars are very expensive." ”

Taeyeon took the lead again: "Well, I heard that it's quite expensive, but there are a lot of rental cars in the United States, and what we do is rent them." ”

Others:

"It's true that you can rent any car in the American car rental dealers, and the most expensive ones are not supercars. ”

"I remember Brother Dou Xige saying that renting a courtesy car is cheaper than renting a supercar, so that's why we did a supercar. ”

"That's right, we all wore dresses that day, and it didn't match to take a supercar, and then look at those female stars, they all went in a courtesy car. ”

"I've heard that just because we're in a supercar, Fox doesn't shoot us for the first few steps on the red carpet. ”

"Hmm~ Our agent regretted it afterwards, saying that he was a shame for South Korea at that time, and he shouldn't rent a supercar to save money. ”

Kim Young-chol smiled again, glanced at the script book, and asked some other questions......

In the eyes of the audience, the perception of the remarks that "Girls' Generation rides a supercar like a nouveau riche" that was secretly circulated before was instantly reversed: Yes, most celebrities in the United States sit in courtesy cars, only you Girls' Generation sit in supercars, it's too embarrassing, and it's too much to save money by sprinkling companies, right? This is in the United States, for the face of the Republic of Korea, Girls' Generation should also be equipped with a courtesy car.

In fact, in any recorded program, unless the TV station is interested in blacks, most of the conversation content is arranged in advance, and this time the interview part of the entertainer's agency, because of the appearance of Kim Yong-chol, has made the nature of the show more serious, so this is almost a practice of establishing Girls' Generation as a model for the younger generation of Korean artists - the last time it was JYP's RAIN who was favored.

Kim Young-chul asked a few more questions, the bottom is why the award-winning work of Girls' Generation was not broadcast in South Korea, Taeyeon naturally said according to the statement that was set after the filming last year: "Because it is a foreign itinerary and the producer is connected to Universal Music, we are not very clear about the distribution, but it can still be seen on the Internet, and most of our fans have seen it." ”

"It's true that the overall picture we shoot is still a group show, so it's understandable that other viewers don't know. ”

Kim Young-chol smiled: "So, you can win the award in the United States because of the power of your fans in the United States?"

"Well, let's just say that, I don't know, in fact, we haven't officially debuted in the United States yet, in fact, our next direction is to go to RB. ”

"Oh, Saman is already preparing for you to make your debut at RB?" asked Kim Young-chul.

"The company means next year, but Universal Music is already preparing for our debut at RB. ”

"Well, we are the first project in the company to cooperate with Universal Music, so there are still some problems with the cooperation between the two sides, so we are not as good as the predecessors who have gone to RB to develop before. Sunny suddenly chimed in and added.

Kim Young-chul glanced at Sunny with interest and said with a smile, "You're Lee so-man's niece, right? ”

Sunny was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, shook his head and said: "It's not that I know much, but you see that since the BOA seniors, the company's seniors have been cooperating with Ai Hui in the development of RB, and they must have accumulated a lot of experience during the period, I mean to say, the BOA seniors are the leaders of all of us in this matter, and many things have been perfected through her, so no matter what, we should all be grateful to the BOA seniors for their previous hardships." Now, we are in a similar position to our predecessors at BOA, and I don't know if there will be any problems with Universal Music in the future, so I am really worried. ”

At this time, the other members silently glanced at Sunny, who was talking, even Taeyeon, and Kim Young-chul smiled and nodded, "Well, what you said makes sense." So, you've been with BOA since you were in the U.S.?"

Sunny shrugged his shoulders: "Well, there are a lot of things we need to ask the BOA seniors who originally opened up the RB market, after all, many problems are only improved after she has experienced them, which I think our company's artists can't deny, many things are not taken for granted, the seniors are really for the advancement of the juniors, stepping on a lot of potholes, we all understand this." ”

Kim Young-cheol nodded, very satisfied with what Sunny said, yes, without the predecessors stepping on the road, how can the younger generations go so smoothly? Especially in the development of foreign markets, many things do not mean that you just have to work hard, and those who encounter problems and solve them are always in the front, rather than following the people in front.

However, when Sunny was talking, the other people of Girls' Generation who suddenly stopped talking wondered in their hearts: Li Shunkui, you obviously haven't paid much attention to BOA seniors, and now you say that, what the hell are you doing?

Of course, no one will demolish Sunny, after all, what Sunny said is very much in line with the expectations of the audience and seniors, not to mention anything else, the expression of Kim Young-cheol in front of them is much softer than at the beginning......
