Chapter 173: The Calm Before the Storm
readx;
When Han Kwon Woo was still busy recording his first Chinese album in China, he did not ignore the recent situation in South Korea, especially when he was about to launch a new album, and Han Kwon Woo was still very concerned about the current Korean music scene. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter paying attention to it for a while, Han Kwon Woo found that the Korean music scene has also become a situation where countries compete for hegemony.
On the solo male singer, Kim Jong Kook relied on the album "A Man", this song has become a dominant situation, and Lee Hyori also relied on the huge success and popularity of "Ten Minutes", and also launched his second solo album, although the effect is far less than "Ten Minutes", but with strong popularity and influence, Lee Hyori still achieved great success, at least on the solo female singer, at least no one can influence Lee Hyori at present.
However, all this is just a superficial phenomenon, Kim Jong Kook's "A Man" is strong, but SE7EN should not be underestimated, although it cannot shake Kim Jong Kook's status, but it has also gained huge popularity and achieved good results. If it weren't for Kim Jong Kook launching the album "A Man" this time, I'm afraid no one would doubt that SE7EN would have become the leader of solo male singers in the Korean music scene in 04.
But it's a pity that this time se7en met Kim Jong Kook, who launched "A Man", although he also achieved good results, but he can tell se7en students very responsibly, you are tragic this year. There is no way, Kim Jong Kook is too powerful with "A Man" this time, too strong, so strong that basically no one can compete with it.
For this situation, se7en and yg are not invisible, whether it is se7en himself or yg, looking at Kim Jong Kook, who is now scratching infinitely, the resentment of constantly singing "A Man" will not soar.
Compared with the situation where the solo male singer Kim Jong Kook is the dominant family and crushes the strongest opponent Sen7en to death, among the solo female singers, although Lee Hyori is also infinitely beautiful, his position is not guaranteed, and he cannot monopolize the solo male singer market like Kim Jong Kook.
Now although Lee Hyori is still the leader of this year's solo female singers on the surface, everyone can see that this is also the popularity that Lee Hyori has saved by virtue of the group, coupled with the influence and popularity brought by the success of "Ten Minutes", which is not very stable.
Why, the reason is very simple, Lee Hyori met a strong opponent this time, that is, Chae Yeon, who was scarred in Yuben and returned to South Korea. With the launch of "Dangerous Performance" in 03, and relying on his beautiful appearance, he quickly became popular with his surname, and this year he issued "Two People", an expert who made Cai Yan reach the peak of his career, which immediately caused a huge sensation.
Han Quanyou is also very clear about this, considering the current situation of Lee Hyo-ri and Chae Yeon, Han Kwon-woo is also secretly worried about Lee Hyo-ri. Because Han Quanyou found that it seems that Chae Yeon has vaguely suppressed Lee Hyori with "Two People".
Compared with solo singers, in terms of combinations, the competition is much fiercer. Due to the disbandment of the older generation of women's teams or the market that flew solo, this also made the women's team groups suddenly become the sweethearts of all brokerage companies.
In this case, a group of women's teams suddenly emerged, but only the three groups that are truly influential are Luv, Swi.T and Heavenly Tomoki.
Among these three groups, LUV began to gradually decline, and it seems that it is going to develop alone towards the original historical trajectory. As for the remaining two groups, swi.t and heavenly tomoki, they are fighting in the women's team market at this time. Heavenly Zhixi relies on the strong strength of MS, and swi.t also relies on YG's top support, coupled with outstanding singing strength, it is not weaker than Heavenly Zhixi.
Because of the fierce collision and competition between the two girl groups of Heavenly Ji-hee and Swi.T, this also gives people a feeling of the rise of second-generation girl groups, of course, this feeling is false, the existence of Swi.T and Heavenly Ji-hee is not a sign of the rise of the second generation of K-pop girl groups, at least so far, the two groups have not yet met the requirements of public recognition.
Compared with the women's group, the competition and collision of the men's group is much more intense, and the confrontation between TVXQ and BIGBANG has undoubtedly become the focus.
Regarding the confrontation between TVXQ and BIGBANG, everyone exclaimed that the third generation of the idol boy group has risen from the two groups of TVXQ and BIGBANG.
Unlike the girl group, TVXQ and BIGBANG have shown their talent and strength in all aspects, and the confrontation and collision brought by it are naturally extremely intense. This situation also made people sigh, I haven't seen such a fierce confrontation scene of the boy group for a long time, and it seems that I haven't seen it since the hot vs. the crystal boy and the myth vs. god.
As for BIGBANG being able to compete with TVXQ and not have the upper hand at all, this also made Lee so-man very angry, you must know that after HOT killed the crystal boy and the myth survived God, Lee so-man has taken the cake of the K-pop boy group as his own and MS company's bag.
I didn't expect that a BIGBANG group would suddenly pop up to be able to compete with TVXQ, after all, this group is still a rookie group from Han Kwonwoo's SS company, how can this make Lee so-man not angry. In this case, Li Xiuman also had a gloomy face, and while vigorously supporting TVXQ, he frantically let the people below practice another rookie boy group that was still being prepared to be cultivated.
The music scene is so chaotic, so as Han Quanyou, who has almost stepped into the altar, everyone is naturally paying special attention.
Although Han Kwonwoo also chose to keep it secret when preparing a new album this time, secrecy is especially easy to keep secrets, you must know that the power of the media is infinite, and SS Company is especially able to achieve true secrecy.
You must know that not to mention Han Quanyou and SS Company, even if it was "Tai Chi Flag Flying" at that time, the reason why it was able to achieve the effect of secrecy was not only because the location chosen for filming was relatively remote, but more importantly, director Jiang Digui had a high status, which made the media cooperate abnormally If the media did not cooperate, "Tai Chi Flag Flying" really didn't want to achieve the effect of secrecy. And Han Kwon Woo and SS Company did not choose a remote place, on the contrary, they were still in Seoul City, and there was no influence of director Kang Je-gyu, plus Han Kwon Woo himself was the object of extraordinary attention and pursuit by the media, so Han Kwon Woo's preparation of a new album was naturally reported.
After the news that Han Kwon Woo was secretly preparing a new album had been reported, it suddenly caused a ten-magnitude earthquake in the originally chaotic Korean music scene.
Who is Han Quanyou, who is recognized as the king of the Korean music scene. "Lies" from the rookie period has been shocking, and it has achieved results that many veteran artists who have debuted for many years have not been able to achieve. After "Sorrysorry" and "Flame", each album was crazier than the previous one, and the results were more prosperous.
With the birth of Han Quanyou, coupled with a series of facts that prove that after the launch of Han Quanyou's new album every time, he will definitely be in an invincible state in the Korean music scene, and the singers who collide can only consider themselves unlucky, who is not as good as others.
More importantly, although Han Quanyou is only a solo male singer, Han Kwonwoo's new album seems to be able to affect other markets every time, not only monopolizing the solo male singer market, even if it is a solo female singer, the combination market will be greatly reduced because of the emergence of Han Kwonwoo's new album.
At first, I didn't believe it, so I ignored the launch of Han Quanyou's new album and insisted on launching my own album. But every brutal fact proves that Han Kwon Woo is strong and powerful. This also makes all Korean singers vaguely have the same idea, that is, to avoid Han Quanyou's edge as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, Han Quanyou, who had been silent for more than a year, suddenly began to prepare a new album, which made the VIPs excited at the same time, but also instantly gave all Korean agencies and singers a headache.
Han Kwon-woo's new album has not been confirmed when it will be released, which definitely makes all the singers depressed. After all, if Han Quanyou does not release a new album for a while, then it is undoubtedly the best choice to take this time to launch a new album that he has been preparing to launch for a long time, otherwise, after Han Quanyou launches a new album, I am afraid there will be no chance.
But the problem is that Han Kwonwoo did not announce when he will release his new album, in case after the release of the new album, Han Kwonwoo will launch his new album immediately after, then this end will definitely make people cry without tears.
This also makes many singers who are about to release a new album, or who have prepared a new album and have just started to launch it, worried, worried that Han Quanyou, who is stunned, does not know when he will suddenly kill and kill everyone.
In the end, no one still wants to experience Han Quanyou's strength, and they don't want to collide with Han Quanyou and kill themselves. In this case, there has been a strange change in the Korean music scene, that is, the singers who have already prepared the new album, and even have determined when the new album will be released, have begun to find reasons and excuses to delay the release of the new album.
In a word, that is, if you Han Quanyou's album is not released, our new album will be left at home and not taken out, and everyone will consume it. Even if you Han Kwonwoo releases a new album, at least during the three-month promotion period, he still won't release his new album, and I'll watch the play from the sidelines.
In this case, the Korean music scene, which originally had singers launching their new albums almost every month, suddenly became unusually calm, as if all the singers had forgotten that they were singers, and began to appear on shows, shoot commercials and rush to schedules, and were so busy that they just didn't mention their new albums.
Of course, everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm, as long as Han Kwon Woo releases a new album, then this tranquility will not appear again, and the Korean music scene will start a real storm with Han Kwon Woo launching a new album.
In addition, the singers who are now delaying their albums in order to avoid Han Kwon-woo are afraid that with the launch of Han Kwon-woo's new album, they will also rush to launch their new albums when the promotion period is almost over. This also means that the storm in the Korean music scene will begin to really appear from the moment Han Kwonwoo launches his new album, and it will take a long time.
Of course, Han Quanyou is also very clear about this matter, and Han Quanyou is still very satisfied that he can have such a great deterrent power.
Of course, what made Han Kwonwoo even more satisfied was that BIGBANG was able to fight TVXQ at this time. You must know that TVXQ has been on par with TVXQ in the past two years, gathered more popularity, and with the full support of a strong MS company behind it, it is indeed very remarkable that BIGBANG can compete with TVXQ, and it also indirectly reflects BIGBANG's ability.
On the first day of returning to South Korea from China, after briefly asking about the recent situation of Lee Jae-byung's company, after making sure that there were no major problems, Lee Jae-byung was able to solve other problems by himself. While Han Kwon Woo sighed that it was good to have a professional manager, he also called the five members of BIGBANG.
"Brother!" The five of BIGBANG came to Han Kwonwoo's office and stood in a row to greet Han Kwonwoo with a respectful bow and a very neat bow.
Looking at the five BIGBANG people standing in front of him, Han Quanyou couldn't think about it, if all the five BIGBANG people wore suits and ties, and wore sunglasses, like the one who called himself big brother just now, people who didn't know would really think that they were the black boss.
"Well, you're here, sit down!" Han Quanyou nodded lightly, pointed to the sofa on the side and said.
Having been at SS for a long time, BIGBANG was used to the relaxed atmosphere that was completely different from YG's at SS Company, and when they heard Han Kwonwoo's words, the five of them sat down on the sofa very casually.
"Well, you guys have been very good during this time, and the results have been great!" Looking at the five people sitting in front of him, who had matured a lot after a few months, Han Quanyou said with a smile with great satisfaction.
"Hehe, this is all taught by you, brother!" The smallest victory is faster than the others to integrate into the life of SS Company, and at this time there is a great possibility of becoming the second Zhao Quan. Suddenly with a hippie smile, he patted Han Quanyou's ass and said.
"Hehe, don't come to this set." Looking at the victory of the hippie smile, Han Quanyou shook his head helplessly and said with a smile.
"You have worked hard and achieved good results during this time, and now you have become one of the leaders of the new generation of boy groups with TVXQ, which is very gratifying. However, I don't think you have the confidence to become one of the leaders of the new generation of boy groups not only vaguely, but also to become one of the leaders of the new generation of boy groups. ”
Looking at the five people sitting in front of him, Han Quanyou smiled, and then asked with a serious face.
"Have faith!" The five of them immediately sat up straight and replied confidently.
"Brother, you underestimate us too much, whatever, our BIGBANG will definitely become the best boy group." Still victory, said with some dissatisfaction. In the heart of victory, BIGBANG will definitely be the best boy group in Korea, not one of them.
"Hehe, it's good to have this confidence, but don't be too conceited, you must know that at least that TVXQ is also very powerful, and they will definitely become your biggest competitors." Hearing the words of victory, Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile faintly and said. Although TVXQ is a person from Li Xiuman of MS Company, I have to admit that TVXQ is indeed very powerful and will become one of the top Korean groups in the next few years.
Indeed, if it weren't for TVXQ's problems, which made MS support SJ like the mythical group and TVXQ back then, SJ would not really be a top-notch combination.
You must know that before TVXQ had problems, when people mentioned the combination of MS companies, they often thought of TVXQ rather than SJ, and overseas, TVXQ's appeal and influence were much stronger than SJ.
"They, hum~~~!" Listening to Han Quanyou's words, TOP snorted coldly, it seems that the situation where personal enemies like Lee so-man and Park Jin-young affect the company are gradually appearing in the SS company. Because of the hostile relationship between Han Quanyou and Lee so-man, this also makes the people in the SS company not have much good impression of the people in the MS company.
"Hehe, a company is a company, and an artist is an artist, these are two different things. In the entertainment industry, connections are very important, don't affect your relationship with the artists of MS Company just because of my relationship with Li Xiuman. Not only that, but you also have to make friends with each other, unless the other person is too arrogant or maybe not accepting, otherwise, there is no harm in having another friend. ”
Seeing that the other four people also agreed with TOP's words, Han Quanyou shook his head helplessly and began to persuade.
"Well, we know brother!" As the captain, Quan Zhilong said on behalf of the group members at this time.
"Ok, by the way, Zhilong, have you made any achievements in creation during this time, and have you created any good songs?" A few months have passed, and I believe that Quan Zhilong will not let himself down, Han Quanyou waited for Quan Zhilong's answer with an expectant face.
"Hehe, I've been busy with publicity during this time, and I don't have enough time, just creating three songs." Quan Zhilong said with some embarrassment, as if he was very dissatisfied with only three songs created in the past few months.
"Hiss~~~" Listening to Quan Zhilong's answer, Han Quanyou couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, cow~~ Quan Zhilong is Quan Zhilong in the end.
As the president of SS Company, Han Kwonwoo is still very clear and aware of BIGBANG's recent itinerary. In particular, BIGBANG has just debuted and has been in a very busy promotional period, even sleeping an average of less than six hours a day.
In this case, Quan Zhilong was able to create three songs, and according to Quan Zhilong's surname, since he said it, then at least it proves that these three songs are definitely not bad. Thinking of this, Han Quanyou said with emotion. I used a song to snatch BIGBANG from YG and made a lot of money.
"Okay, if that's the case, then hand in the song you wrote, and if you are sure that you can, you can release it as a single at the right time. Now that you have just debuted, what you need is non-stop publicity, launching singles, not only on the charts, but also on the list, but also to promote the group, which is a good choice. ”
"Well, I see, I'll hand in the tune when I get back to the dormitory." Quan Zhilong nodded and replied.
"Okay, okay, it's not too early, you guys go ahead with your itinerary and announcement now!" You must know that the artists in the rookie period are absolutely great, especially when they have just debuted, they are very busy, and you must know whether you can gain a foothold in the entertainment industry and let more people remember you, it depends on your efforts during this time. So, after a brief chat with BIGBANG, Han Kwon-woo promoted BIGBANG as a flash person, after all, BIGBANG also has a lot of work to do.
"Brother, let's go!" The five members of BIGBANG stood up
