Chapter 174: Popular Ballads (1)
"Super Newcomer King, the Birth of a Platinum Album"
"Success cannot be replicated, HERO's debut is amazing"
The next day, "PlayTheMusic" continued to sell well, and major entertainment newspapers reported on it at length. For Park Shiyun, they did not hesitate to describe him with titles such as "Super Rookie King" and "Newcomer of the Year".
However, a newcomer's debut album has only been sold for one day and is already quasi-platinum, but such a result has to be capitalized and close-up by the news media.
In addition, major veteran music magazines have given "PlayTheMusic" star ratings. Five stars out of a single is rated four stars by AAsGuitar magazine, four and a half stars by AcidcongaMan, and three and a half stars by the more conservative arpeggio magazine. "arpeggio" is known for its rigor in the music magazine industry, and last year, BIGBANG's "Lies" was rated four and a half or even five stars by major music magazines, while "arpeggio" only gave four stars. So for "PlayTheMusic", "arpeggio" only gives a three-and-a-half-star evaluation, and everyone doesn't think it's low, but it's a little incredible, according to the consistent style of "arpeegio", it is very likely to give three stars.
Most of PlayTheMusic's star ratings are between four and a half stars, and no music magazine has given it a five-star rating. After all, this is Park Shiyun's first album, and the five-star evaluation is for a newcomer. It's just too high.
The album sold well. The industry has given high praise. Park Shiyun was naturally very happy. But now is not the time to celebrate, there is still a tough battle to be fought today, "Popular Ballads" will be on in the afternoon, and you will have to go to the rehearsal at noon, and Park Shiyun's dormitory will be full of people early in the morning. There is his agent Zhao Dahai, a full-time driver and assistant Song Nan, and a team of hairstylists, makeup artists and costume artists. Today is Park Shiyun's first time on stage, and Guo Daoyuan attaches great importance to it. Early in the morning, the company's professional team was dispatched to serve Park Shiyun.
After getting up, Park Shiyun was pulled into a chair, and his job was very simple, which was to sit on the chair and not move. For two hours, Park Shi-yoon was like a bride before marriage, at the mercy of hairstylists and beauticians.
But the effect is also obvious, after drawing a light and refreshing makeup, tidying up the hairstyle, and changing into the clothes and shoes that the costume designer matches, Park Shiyun's temperament is immediately highlighted.
Because it was the first time on stage, the costume designer chose a well-cut casual suit in purple and black. In a year, Park Shiyun grew another 3 centimeters. The height has risen to 1.88 meters, the standard model height plus the good figure he has developed by insisting on going to the gym during this time. When you put on the suit, it makes a big splash.
With a tall figure, a sunny and refreshing face with a hint of coldness, and a pair of deep eyes half-hidden under the bangs with a hint of mystery and rebelliousness, compared with yesterday's Park Shiyun, he seems to be reborn now.
After the agent Zhao Dahai saw it, he said three times in a row, "It's good, it's great, it's good, that's what you want." Xiao Yun, you finally have a little star flavor now!"
Park Shiyun looked at himself in the mirror, and even he couldn't believe that he could have such a side. It's not very handsome, but it's a very stylish man. He felt that if Park Shin Hye stood in front of him at this moment, he would definitely rush over and kiss him fiercely.
"Silly boy, what are you smiling at!" Seeing Park Shiyun smirking in the mirror, Zhao Dahai slapped him.
"Ah, it's okay" Park Shiyun came back to his senses and immediately covered up his intentions. The gaffe of excessive lewdness.
Zhao Dahai asked, "What do you think of this look?" ”
Park Shi Yoon gave a thumbs up to the makeup artist, hairstylist and costume artist who had worked hard and said, "The power of packaging really can't be underestimated, I didn't expect me to have such a handsome side, hehe, it's good, I'm very satisfied." ”
The three of them smiled modestly, then gathered their eating tools.
"Brother Hai, when are we leaving?" Park Shiyun was already a little impatient.
Zhao Dahai said: "It's still early, the rehearsal will start at one o'clock in the afternoon, and your job is to sign it, I have prepared two hundred albums, you sign them one by one, these albums are used to give away." The singers who participated in "Popular Songs" today, the staff of the "Popular Songs" department, and so on. ”
"What, two hundred! That's too much, isn't it? Park Shiyun exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Dahai smiled and said: "It's nothing to wait for the publicity to start, you have to go to major cities across the country to meet with fans and hold fan meetings, and when the time comes, there will be more than this number of albums and posters signed at the autograph session." It's time to practice your hands beforehand. ”
Park Shiyun hung his head in resignation. He just wants to be a simple musician, and the singer's wish is still too simple. The profession of celebrity looks glamorous, but in fact, behind these lights, there is a lot of sweat and tears. Being a star is also a science, and Park Shiyun feels that he has a lot to learn when he steps into this industry.
In the morning, Park Shiyun signed 200 albums very seriously, loaded them into cardboard boxes, carried them to the car, and he and his team had lunch outside, and then ran to SBS TV station in Yeoue Island together.
Sitting in the GMC nanny car, when Park Shiyun saw the three big words SBS from a distance, a complex emotion surged in his heart. He came here last year as a stand-in for Davi. If you say it's good, it's a stand-in, and if you say it's bad, it's an impostor. It can't be fake, and it can't be fake, but in the end, he really can't stand it anymore, so he chooses to disclose the truth.
A year later, all this is still vivid. Park Shiyun's eyes hidden under the bangs revealed a hint of complicated gaze.
Every week, there is one day outside SBS TV that is especially lively. On the day of "Popular Songs", many artists gathered on SBS TV. As a result, at the entrance of SBS TV, many fans gather here to block their idol style. Gradually, this became a feature of the TV station. The other three major TV stations are no exception.
Approaching SBS TV. Through the car window, Park Shi-yoon saw groups of fans gathered on both sides of the road. They hold in their hands comparable to journalists. Even more professional cameras and camcorders than journalists.
"Xiao Yun, don't be nervous. If you're nervous, everyone in the car will be nervous with you! Zhao Dahai patted Park Shiyun's shoulder and encouraged.
In the GMC van sat Park Shi-yoon's team, makeup artist, costume artist, hair stylist, driver and assistant, and agent. Everyone laughed, relieving the tense atmosphere in the carriage.
Park Shiyun exhaled, and then Song Nan said, "It's coming soon, Xiaoyun, get ready!" ”
Park Shiyun nodded. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes became deep and determined.
The nanny car slowly drove to the entrance of the TV station, and the eyes of the surrounding fans were focused. Quietly wait for the people in the car to get down and see the real face.
Park Shiyun exhaled, he opened the door, stepped out of the car with one foot, and stepped onto the road with both feet. The exuberant sun of early summer shone on him, and the purple-black suit set off a hint of mystery.
"It's so high, who is this person!"
At first, everyone was stunned by Park Shiyun's height. The next second. Ah, an exclamation erupted from the crowd, "It's HERO." HERO is here, it's HERO! ”
The corners of Park Shiyun's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint confident smile. He walked slowly towards the entrance of the TV station, greeting the fans with my warm smile.
After a year of disappearance and a year of silence, Park Shi-yoon finally reappeared in the public eye. The screams around him came and went, and soon Park Shi-yoon was surrounded by fans following, taking pictures, screaming, or just to look at him twice.
The enthusiasm of the fans touched Park Shi-yoon very much. It seems that no one thinks the other way about him because he used to be Davi's stand-in.
From the entrance to the gate of the TV station, a distance of dozens of meters, Park Shiyun walked for several minutes. When he walked to the door of the TV station, he suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to the fans who were following closely.
"HERO, we've got your back!"
"On today's debut stage, HERO has to come on!"
"We're all optimistic about you HERO!"
The cheers came one after another, and the excited faces fell into Park Shiyun's eyes, which looked particularly cute.
Entering the TV station, the people around him cast curious glances like him. Park Shiyun's star journey is more special than other stars, and it will inevitably attract some of the same attention. The people in the TV station are not fans outside, they are used to seeing stars, so they don't have any special feelings for Park Shiyun, but they are just a little curious about him.
Park Shiyun walked into the elevator with his team with ease, and Zhao Dahai and Song Nan both held a large box of albums in their hands, which were used to give away.
When you take the elevator to the third floor, you will see the LCD TV hanging on the wall, playing SBS programs. Familiar environment, Park Shiyun smiled slightly.
On the way to the lounge, Park Shi-yoon saw many familiar faces. These are the singers he had a relationship with when he was Davi's stand-in. He greeted everyone one by one. Everyone also responded kindly to Park Shi-yoon and said some words of encouragement. Zhao Dahai led the way in front, and the group walked to Park Shiyun's lounge.
Originally, the newly debuted artists had to share a lounge. But Park Shi-yoon is a special case, he had popularity comparable to that of a first-line singer before his debut, and his debut album sold quasi-platinum sales in two days plus pre-sales. Such a person is not qualified to have a lounge, so which singer is still qualified.
Park Shiyun's lounge is very eye-catching, and it should be said that the wreaths placed at the door of the lounge are eye-catching. When he looked closer, it turned out to be wreaths sent by relatives and friends to congratulate him on his debut. Among them are Girls' Generation, Kwak Do-won's, Sung You-ri, Park Min-young, Song Joong-ki's, Lee Kwang-so, Lee Dahae's, Kang Ji-hwan's, SidusHQ's, Cha Jae-sung's private, and finally there is the "Popular Ballad" program group, and the wreath sent by KARA.
Seeing KARA, Park Shi-yoon couldn't help but think of Park Gyu-ri, Han Seung-yeon, and Nicole, the peers he met when he was working as Davi's stand-in, the girls who seemed to be friends but had not yet gotten better. (To be continued......)
