Chapter 53. The record was a big hit
Within JYP.
The result of the radio broadcast of "Trespassing" was unexpected by everyone.
If the roar of asking FIVE Yin Tianyou to release a record in the past blew up the phone at the company's reception, now the phone at the entire reception office has basically been paralyzed.
The employees who were responsible for answering the phone changed wave after wave, and they almost had a nervous breakdown because they couldn't stand the roars of various fans.
Of course, it may be an exaggeration to say this, but it is true, FIVE Yoon Cheon-woo has once again become a high target for fans to call for an album, and JYP has never had such a madness before, and will never have it again.
"President Park, isn't it time to release a record?" A week later, the crowd began to ask the question.
"Wait." As the president of JYP, Park Jin-young pondered for a long time and finally said this. Originally, it was best to release a record while the single reached the top of the charts, but after considering all aspects, Park Jin-young decided not to release it for the time being.
It was a risky decision, as the emotions of the fans were now fully aroused, and the release could be much less effective if the craze cooled down. And maybe it will cause a rebellious mentality and resist Yin Tianyou.
But Park Jin-young still thinks it's better to wait, because Yoon Tianwoo's songs are so magical, and he believes that there is still room for fans to rise. He wants to take the opportunity to make Yin Tianyou a superstar. Just like a stock speculator, Park Jin Young doesn't want to sell stocks if he makes a slight profit, he has to wait for the stock to rise to the highest before selling. This mentality is already a standard gambler's mentality. But Park Zhenying is full of confidence, because Yin Tianyou in his hand is a heavenly card for big and small killings.
It turned out that Park Jin-young's decision was correct, and when Yoon Tianwoo's record could not be bought everywhere, fans did not give up, but pursued it more fervently. More calls were made to the company, and the wording was so fierce that some people even scolded. At this time, the emotions of the fans have gone crazy.
A month later, when the situation was almost out of control and fans began to demonstrate at JYP, Park Jin-young finally made the decision to release it.
During this period, the record had already been produced, and Park Jin-young gave the order, and immediately Yoon Tianwoo's single titled "Trespassing" was sold in video stores throughout Seoul.
However, Park Jin-young still underestimated the impact caused by Yoon Tian-woo, from Seoul to Busan, from Gangnam Province to Gyeongsang-do, the long queue in front of the major video stores became a great spectacle for a while. Soon all the major video stores called the company and asked for more records, because even though the records were sold out, there were still a large number of fans asking to buy them.
In addition to being happy about this situation, Park Jin-young and others couldn't help but look at each other, how big is the potential buying group? Originally, Park Jin-young had already released the film according to the standards of a popular singer, but it was still in short supply, and those who thought Park Jin-young's decision to take risks at the time now feel that Park Jin-young's decision was too cautious.
I can't figure it out for a while, but I don't need to think too much about it, and it makes sense to release more records right away. Working overtime, a new batch of records was finally sent out, and then it was swept away by the waiting fans.
In fact, the reason why the album is so popular is that in addition to the young people who like pop music in the Republic of Korea, there is also a part of the group, that is, the vast middle class in South Korea.
In society, this is a very common class, they are generally highly educated, have a high vision, like Western music, and generally disdain Korean popular music in general. When the mystery FIVE trend first rose, they naturally laughed it off, but they were just a star packaged by an entertainment company. However, FIVE's record was delayed, and the madness of the teenage fans finally piqued their curiosity about what songs could have such magic. And when I heard it, I suddenly got out of control. This English version of "Trespassing" just satisfies the high-end and high-level style that they only like to enjoy foreign language songs, and to put it more bluntly, this song satisfies their psychology of pretending; Looking back, the rhythm and melody of the song itself are so passionate and catchy, so they were immediately moved. As a result, there will be a situation where supply exceeds demand.
For those who like a singer like the average star-chasing teenager, it is a shameful thing for them, the words of a young man interviewed can show this, he commented disdainfully to the camera and said to the young fans: "These people don't understand music at all, they just blindly chase stars, only people of our class really understand the English song FIVE--- to be honest, I even doubt that those young people who like him can successfully memorize 26 English words, English songs are the highest grade of world-class pop music, and only those of us with deep cultural heritage can appreciate it! For a while, these middle-class people directly raised the music level of FIVE Yin Tianyou to the international level.
In this regard, I didn't expect that the English song that I thought was going to hit the street turned into a high-quality thing.
But what everyone didn't expect was behind......
Just when the FIVE single in the Republic of Korea was in full swing, the messages from Southeast Asia and Japan surprised everyone--- and the video dealers there also demanded the distribution rights for the single.
In fact, this phenomenon just shows the wisdom of Park Jin-young's decision-making, and the only Korean fans who have listened to his songs were expected for Yoon Tianwoo's single, which is also the largest consumer of pop music.
However, fans in Japan and Southeast Asia, which are close to South Korea, are curious about what is happening in the Korean music scene recently, and people who are far away from other countries do not know about Yoon Tianyou as a person, or who know and disdain him, are also interested in Yoon. Especially those who spread through the Internet and heard the clip of the song "Trespassing", which immediately made them crazy. The population grew like a snowball.
Park Jin-young's estimate is not correct, and his expected circulation is not much different from the number of most fans in South Korea, but what Park Jin-young did not expect is that the song will travel across the ocean to become popular in Japan and Southeast Asia. To put it bluntly, in fact, the reason why this song was able to spread in Japan and other regions is due to the fact that this song is an English song.
The status of English as the world's lingua franca has allowed this song to break through many boundaries and become popular directly throughout Asia, especially in Japan, another entertainment hegemon in Asia, and be loved by fans.
As we all know, before the rise of Korean entertainment, Japan has always been the center of Asian entertainment, especially the Japanese music scene, which is the birthplace of many idols and the most difficult camp to overcome. For no other reason, it's just that the Japanese music scene is so powerful, whether it's rock, blues, or other music, it has reached an admirable peak, and the excellence of Japanese musicians is also well known.
However, in recent years, with the decline of the Japanese entertainment industry, the Japanese music scene has also shown a weak trend, especially when Korean pop music began to emerge, the Japanese music scene has become even more lackluster...... But FIVE's Yin Tianyou was born out of nowhere, with an English song swept in, the cheerful rhythm, passionate and dynamic melody, and immediately conquered many empty and lonely Japanese young people nowadays.
In response to this situation, the Koreans, who have always had strong self-esteem, cheered, believing that this was another victory for the Korean music scene and another feat for Korean music to enter Japan. Major media in South Korea have reported one after another, among which Kang Myung-seok's comment is the most exciting.
At the beginning of the comment, Jiang Mingshi complained about Park Jinying's "hunger marketing strategy", as a good friend who has known the music industry for many years, Jiang Mingshi felt that this time Park Heizi did something inauthentic, but then the writing changed, he said in a lamenting tone: "Unfortunately, I have to admit that this technique is extremely successful, and after listening to this song, I have to admit that it does have the strength to whet everyone's appetite, and it is completely worth waiting for such a long time." On this issue, I believe that I have the same mentality as the majority of fans. ”
Next, from the perspective of music, Kang Myung-seok once again exerted his keen sensibility, he said: "From the perspective of music, FIVE is actually not a popular Korean musician, but is more inclined to international music, especially the emergence of this English song, which lets us know how likely it is that he will go international." Perhaps in the near future, our Republic of Korea will rise to become a brilliant international superstar. ”
International superstar?
This evaluation is also too high.
For those fans of Yin Tianyou, this evaluation may not be nothing, and Yin Tianyou at this time has been worshiped by them as a god; But for many people who don't know him, this evaluation is inevitably exaggerated.
If he is so powerful, why doesn't he dare to show his true face?
FIVE, who the hell is he?!
