Chapter 74: YG's Determination (2)

Yang Xianshuo, who was sitting in the front, didn't know what his henchmen were thinking, but even if he knew, he would agree with it in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.infoBigbang's growth rate after its debut is like eating Hyun Mai, and it can't be stopped at all. Even made him, the president, a little uncomfortable. Sure enough, the people under his hands are too capable, so it seems that the president has nothing to do, and there is no sense of accomplishment at all.

"First of all, I want to stop for what the songwriters here think about this song." Although there has been unanimous affirmation from himself, Zhilong, and Eno that this song has the potential to become a hit in the United States, Yang Hyun-seok decided to listen to the opinions of his subordinates more just in case. Otherwise, YG had been preparing for so much time that they had even given up on their plans to debut in Japan, but it would have been embarrassing that the song would not have made a splash in the United States after its release. Not only was so much effort wasted, but so much money was wasted. So Yang Hyun Suk had to be cautious.

"Two words: perfect," says Teddy, one of YG's most authoritative creators, without hesitation. Although Teddy felt a little uncomfortable about the students he taught more than himself, he still stood up to support his students. "It's still a bit rough, and you can see that it's not finished yet, and the arrangement isn't finished yet. But even from the current point of view, it is definitely a better song than "Lies". “

The brave brother also added: "What's more, the lyrics of this song are easy to understand, the melody is catchy, especially the repetition of "baby, baby", not only does not make the song monotonous, but impressive." It's about the same as last year's hit "Tellme", but the artistry is much higher. It's all in English, but it's easy to learn. Now just looking at the score, I can't help but sing. ”

The other creators didn't speak, but they all nodded in agreement.

"Then do you think this song can cause a sensation in the United States, or is it possible to become a hit in the United States?" Yang Hyun Suk asked cautiously.

Although he still doesn't quite understand what Yang Hyun Suk means, Teddy still replied truthfully: "If this song is sung in the United States, even if it is sung by an unknown American, as long as it is properly promoted, then it is not a problem for him to become famous in one fell swoop." Not necessarily in Asia, where the music scene is notoriously difficult to get into. As a hiphop musician, he has always been concerned about the trend of the American entertainment industry, and the song "Baby" is in the top ten on the Billboard in the United States.

"If it's 'Baby,' it's going to be a sensation in the U.S., but it's hard to say if their singer, Bigbang, can make a splash in the U.S. again. The phenomenon that celebrities are not popular is not uncommon in the entertainment industry. "Maybe I guessed Yang Hyun Suk's intentions, E-Tribe said calmly, he was the creator of the famous Girls' Generation "Gee", and the music quality can be seen.

Yang Hyun-seok said, "As you know, I was planning to debut at Bigbang Japan at the beginning of this year, and this year, Bigbang's development center will be on solo and Japan. But the appearance of this song made me see a different path. Bigbang can earn a place on the first day of the group with this song and TVXQ this year, and if this song goes well, it will be completely possible for Bigbang to go to the United States to test the waters. ”

"What, go to the United States, I don't agree." As one of the planners of Bigbang, Lee Bo-type objected: "It's too risky to use a song to earn money with TVXQ, and to go to the United States to develop, you must know that the quality of an album, in addition to quality, sales are also an important factor, and TVXQ's 800,000 fans are no joke." Coupled with the fact that TVXQ's center was in Japan last year, fans in South Korea this year have been impatient for a long time. When the time comes, TVXQ's return will definitely cause a sensation. At that time, Bigbang was like hitting the muzzle of the gun. “

In his previous life, 2008 could be said to be TVXQ's last glory, with 508,000 album sales creating the highest sales since TVXQ's debut, and also creating the largest sales since 2000, you must know that although with the appearance of Ino, the number of Bigbang fans has increased a lot compared to the previous life, but it still did not exceed 300,000. It can be said that in terms of album sales, Bigbang can say that it can't catch up with TVXQ.

"I agree to compete with TVXQ this year." Another person said: "Don't forget, TVXQ has been out for 4 years now, and the contract is about to expire, so it's not certain whether TVXQ can survive this hurdle, if you want to compete with TVXQ, this year may be the only chance." Otherwise, even if Bigbang reaches the top in the future, it will be a bit unjustifiable. “

"As for the trip to the United States, we can prepare first." "The most we can do anyway is to strengthen Bigbang's practice, including English and the like, and we don't have a good way to promote it." In this case, it is better to put it on the agenda first, and if the song "Baby" has a good response in the United States, the United States will come to the door, and we will not be in a hurry at that time. “

Other people are also discussing what you say and what I say, and from time to time some people express their opinions, and some people stand up to refute them. For a while, the conference room became as lively as a vegetable market.

Seeing that his subordinates were discussing enthusiastically, Yang Xianshuo nodded with satisfaction, obviously he likes the current atmosphere very much, everyone discusses for the good of the company, although he can decide this matter by himself, and does not need everyone's approval. But for this situation, Yang Xianshuo is still happy to see.

YG is different from JYP, SM and other companies, in the early days of YG, Yang Hyun Suk did not raise much external financing and sell the company's shares, but it was all in the hands of himself and his relatives and friends, just like today, YG's three largest shareholders are Yang Hyun Suk, his younger brother Yang Min Suk, and the other is Ino. All of them are people who have a relationship with Yang Hyun Suk. Therefore, if there is any decision, Yang Xianshuo can completely decide by himself. I don't want to be like **, DPS, JYP and other companies, in the early stage, for the rapid development of the company, they raised money everywhere, so that later the shares were too scattered, so that Lee so-man, Park Zhen-young and others made a decision to be restricted everywhere.

Not to mention anything else, it is the slave treaty issue that SM has been criticized all along, it is not that Lee so-man, Kim Young-min and others are unwilling to increase the contract conditions, but that the shareholders behind them are unhappy, and doing so will inevitably make them a lot less. So I haven't been able to change it. This is also the disadvantage of them taking too much investment in the early stage. On the other hand, YG will be affected by the financial impact in the early stage, but once they get through it, it will reduce a lot of obstacles, otherwise how could YG have stuck to the hip-hop music style for so many years?

PS: The second shift, the next shift rest for half an hour to continue, the butt hurts from sitting. In addition, ask for support, ask for recommendations, and ask for tips.
