Chapter 208: Development Planning

If you get along with Goo Hara for a long time, you will find that she is a very interesting little girl. She made a deep impression on Park Shi-yoon.

On this day, it was the stage for KARA's re-debut. In addition to the sweet appearance and the faces of the two new members, the response to the new song "RockU" is not very strong.

Park Shi-yoon watched KARA's performance on TV in the lounge, and secretly shook his head in his heart. The strength and conditions of these five girls are impeccable, and they are all outstanding in the girl group. But I don't know if it's because DSP hasn't launched a girl group for 10 years, or because the launch of FIN.K.L was so successful that they are still in a state of reminiscing about the past, in short, the packaging of KARA is too insufficient, and the title song is not well chosen. Except for the two new members, Goo Hara and Kang Ji-young, one looks like Namie Amuro and the other looks sweetly surprising, there are no more highlights.

DSP spent so much energy on SS501 that it was abandoned for too long in terms of girl groups, and after a decade, it became no longer handy to build a girl group again.

KARA reloaded this time, but Park Shi-yoon can't see the scene where they can vigorously "fight" with WonderGirls or Girls' Generation.

On the same day, Park Shi-yoon won the first trophy with a song "RingaLinga", which was undoubtedly expected. It's his time at M! The second first trophy he won at CountDown was his second consecutive victory.

Since last Thursday, Park Shiyun has shown the momentum of sweeping the four major music source charts. And the results have been achieved like a bamboo. And his journey to the rankings has just begun. The media speculated. Park Shi-yoon was able to continue to win several consecutive championships.

For the next three days. Park Shi-yoon swept the first place in "Music Bank", "Music Center" and "Popular Ballads", 4 music source programs, and 8 consecutive championships, which is exciting.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and June entered the end of the month.

Throughout this month, many shocking things have happened in the entertainment industry. In first and second place are the Girls' Generation Black Sea incident and the DreamConcert group event. These two events are enough to be listed as two major nodes in the history of the development of the Korean entertainment industry. A reminder to all artists and agencies that fans can go crazy to this extent.

With the support of SONE, though. Under the support of S.M. Although Girlhood experienced the impact of the Black Sea incident, it was not defeated, but showed signs of becoming more and more courageous. After the Black Sea incident, after only one day off, I returned to work, like 9 strong women.

The big event in third place is naturally Park Shiyun's debut. His appearance is like the rise of a comet, and the trajectory of his rise can be seen by following the visible "tail". Media reporters did not hesitate to describe him as "the strongest newcomer of the year in 2008", and this is also true.

"PlayTheMusic" held the top spot on the record sales chart in June. Several title songs have been ranked first in the weekly, monthly, and real-time charts of 8 major music sources, including Melon, Mnet, Genie, Bugs, OllehMusic, Soribada, CyworldMusic, and Monyke3, since the day of the release, and this achievement has continued to this day. No singer has yet been able to break it. And it only took 1 week for the sales volume to win the platinum record, and it has exceeded 650,000 in half a month.

Such an achievement should be outstanding among first-line singers, but for a singer who has debuted for half a month, he can only be described as terrifying. In addition, he participated in the four major music source charts for two weeks and won the first place eight times in a row, which also proves that Park Shiyun is irreplaceable in popularity.

On June 30, Kwak Do-won held a small celebration banquet for Park Shi-yoon inside SidusHQ to celebrate the sales of "PlayTheMusic" exceeding 600,000 copies. On the night of the celebration banquet, Jung Eun-di, Park Chu-long, Son Eun-na, Yoon Pu-mi, Fang Min-ah, Kim Ah-young, Lee Hye-ri, Lee Shin, Lee O-e-e-rin, Yoo Se-ro, Park Min-ha, Pyo-hye Mi, etc., all of whom are currently being trained by SidusHQ, participated in the event.

As the protagonist of the celebration banquet, Park Shiyun was poured a lot of wine by everyone, and in the end he couldn't drink it anymore, so no matter who came to toast, he replaced it with a drink. In this way, the celebration banquet lasted for two hours before it came to an end. Park Shi-yoon was called into the office by Guo Daoyuan.

"Come, have a cup of tea to relieve hangover, and tomorrow I will go to Jeonju to hold a signing concert." Guo Daoyuan made a cup of green tea for Park Shiyun.

"Thank you, teacher!" Although Park Shiyun drank a lot, he was not very drunk, and after drinking a few sips of green tea, except for his blushing face, his head was completely sober.

"This month has been a good one, not only moving back 8 trophies, but also selling more than 650,000 albums. Did you know that this is the best album sales ever for SidusHQ? Guo Daoyuan said happily.

Park Shiyun said modestly: "This is all the credit of the teacher, if you didn't give me a chance, how could I be where I am now!" ”

"Don't say that, your modesty is a bit too much, and there must be a limit to your sycophants!" Guo Daoyuan said.

Park Shi-yoon scratched her hair and smiled shyly.

Guo Daoyuan saw his action, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. When he first met Park Shiyun last year, Park Shiyun's action made him feel a touch of simplicity. A year later, Park Shiyun is no longer the same as last year, and is now a popular idol singer-songwriter in South Korea, Kwak Do-won appreciates that he is not blinded by all this false name, and still maintains a heart with a noble love for music.

"Xiaoyun, how are you learning Japanese?" Guo Daoyuan suddenly asked.

Park Shiyun thought for a while and said, "It's okay, you can watch Japanese dramas without subtitles!" Why, teacher, why do you suddenly care about my Japanese level? ”

Guo Daoyuan said: "That's the case, a few days ago, Japan's Sony, Ai Hui, and Universal record companies all sent people to discuss your future debut in Japan, and they all hoped that you could sign an overseas brokerage contract with their company, and they all gave very favorable conditions. ”

Park Shiyun was slightly surprised: "Won't it?" I've only debuted for half a month, is it too fast to go to Japan to develop? They're too anxious! ”

Guo Daoyuan shook his head and said: "Actually, otherwise, your popularity in Japan is not low, after you did that sensational thing in Japan last year, your popularity in Tokyo has been high." Especially half a month after your debut, the Japanese entertainment media are reporting news about you, and it can be said that you are one of the most influential Korean artists in Japan. The agencies are very optimistic about you, so I can't wait to sign a contract and then discuss my debut in Japan! ”

"What about the attitude of the company?" Park Shiyun asked. He can't do this thing, everything depends on SidusHQ's attitude. If SidusHQ was ready to let him go to Japan to develop, he would have to bite the bullet.

Guo Daoyuan said: "I have already talked with Director Cha Jae-seung, and he affirmed your achievements in China and hoped that you could go to Japan for development." What he meant was that you should have both Korea and Japan at the same time. ”

Park Shiyun smiled bitterly, this must not exhaust a person.

"Don't smile bitterly, this is also the company's trust in you, and at the same time, it will also strongly support you After discussing with Director Cha Jae-seung, the initial plan is that in July, you will do publicity step by step and hit the list. In August, he received endorsements and commercials, suspended all activities in September, and concentrated on recording the Japanese version of the studio album "PlayTheMusic", which was released in Japan in October and officially debuted in Japan. Guo Daoyuan said. I will have the lyrics of the songs in PlayTheMusic translated into Japanese as soon as possible. ”

Park Shiyun shrugged, since the company had already made arrangements, he had no qualifications to refuse, so he could only nod and agree. Curious, he asked, "Have you decided which Japanese brokerage company you signed with?" ”

"Ai Hui!" Guo Daoyuan said, "Ai Hui has a good reputation, and values Korean artists very much, S.M's Bao'er is Ai Hui's singer In addition, Ai Hui's conditions are also the best among many brokerage companies, you are in Japan and all the publicity expenses are paid by them, and the income is divided fifty-fifty, and it is guaranteed that you can publish two Japanese albums every year, shoot TV series for you, when the time is ripe, and let you hold a concert in the Dome, so we decided to cooperate with Ai Hui's company!" ”

"Sounds good!" Park Shiyun nodded, Ai Hui's conditions were indeed very attractive. "When will you sign up?"

"At the end of August, there are still many things to discuss with Ai Hui, which will take time." Guo Daoyuan said.

"Okay, when the time comes, I will fully cooperate with it, and it will be good to be able to sign a contract with Ai Hui, Bao'er is also one of the idols I admire, and they are all Koreans, so I can also be taken care of by the time." Park Shiyun said.

"Although the Korean Wave is now growing stronger and more influential than Japanese entertainment, Japan has been the entertainment center of Asia since the 80s. Therefore, Korean singers will go to Japan to develop to a certain extent. You are blessed with unique conditions in Japan, and your development will definitely be smoother after you go to Japan, but this is in three months, and the top priority now is to do a good job of publicity. Guo Daoyuan said.

"Got it, teacher" Park Shiyun nodded, indeed, Nozomi Sasaki also said that his popularity in Japan is one of the highest among Korean artists in Japan. went to Japan by himself, and Xingtu will definitely be able to go smoothly than other artists. (To be continued......)
