Chapter 1012 2NE1 and FX
The next three months, fleeting, the days passed quickly, Kim Do-jun seemed to have returned to his previous peaceful life, the company, the gym, home, three points and one line, except for participating in programs and announcements, basically stayed at home, rarely ran outside, even the party between friends, can be pushed, except for the really impossible, then can only be hard-headed to participate.
The most time is spent in the coffee shop, a cup of coffee, one is a morning, anyway, no one cares about him, he can go to the company whenever he wants, and even the days when he meets Brother Gary and Brother Ji are much less.
They also called one after another, what the hell was going on, and thought he was sick.
In the past three months, there have been a number of things happening in the entertainment industry almost every day, big or small, and one of the more notable is YG and S.M, each of which launched a new girl group, 2NE1 and FX, especially 2NE1, which gained huge popularity as soon as they debuted.
Kim Do-joon's song "fire" has gathered a lot of fans for 2NE1, as yg's girl group launched for so long, it can be said that it has gathered the efforts of the entire company, from the selection of artists, to positioning, each member has his own exclusive positioning, lead singer, rap, dance, appearance responsibility, this time I heard that the original yg family also has appearance.
Yang Xianshuo chooses artists and rarely looks at their appearance, and he always thinks that the artists under his company are not ugly, but they are a little different and have their own style.
The YG family has hiphop genes in their bones, from top to bottom, from bigbang. And then to the current 2NE1. Even recruited trainees. It's all the same appearance and has been passed down, which is one of the reasons why the artists of the YG family are more popular.
There are not so many handsome men and women in this world, and not all people have good looks, people who are face controlled, like the S.M family, like hiphop music, and love the YG family.
Huge music market. It's like sharing a cake, piece by piece, being divided and eaten by major brokerage companies, and small companies have no chance at all, so they can only rely on large companies to survive.
2NE1, Kim Do-joon is more familiar, all four of them know each other, and even the title song of the new album is written by himself, which has teddy's credit. If he hadn't helped produce it, 2NE1 wouldn't have been able to make its debut in these three months. And as soon as it debuted, it was so popular, and its popularity can be described as bursting, not only attracting a large number of fans in South Korea, but also announcing the Internet and making a name for itself all over the world.
2NE1's debut MV "fire", introduced to American fans through Paris Hilton's blog, also opened up a market for 2NE1 in the United States, although it is not large now, but it has attracted the attention of many people, and then the video site spread to Europe and other places, attracting the attention of netizens all over the world.
As for Japan, it's even more unusual, I already like some alternative music, and I'm used to seeing sweet girlish style, and when a combination like 2NE1 appears, it's naturally easy to arouse the curiosity of others.
A spokesperson for YG, the agency where 2NE1 works, said.
"It was hard to believe that 2NE1 had gained such a wide reputation before it even entered the group, but 2NE1 was established with the goal of expanding overseas when the group was established, and we will continue to promote the expansion of 2NE1 overseas!"
It's a bit of a diplomatic rhetoric, but he's telling the truth, Kim Do-joon also talked to Yang Hyun-seok about this issue, and indeed long before the establishment, Yang Hyun-seok told him that the goal of 2NE1 is to enter foreign markets, especially the markets of the United States, Japan, and even the Philippines, Southeast Asia and other countries.
It's no wonder that who made dara make a lot of fame in the Philippines before she became a member of 2NE1, giving up everything and choosing to return to South Korea and become a trainee, this courage is not something everyone can do.
Perhaps because of this, 2NE1 gives people the feeling that it is just one word, domineering.
From the captain CL, to Park Chun, dara is a little better, and he hurriedly has Min Chi, all the same, at a young age, his dance skills are quite solid, no less than a professional dance master.
At the debut celebration banquet, Kim Do-jun was also invited over, he had already made an excuse and was ready to refuse, who knew that Yang Hyun-seok would have to come over and invite him in person, 2NE1's debut went so smoothly, and part of the credit was attributed to Kim Do-jun, and he himself was not present, which can be regarded as a celebration banquet!
Besides, Yang Hyun-seok is such a shrewd person, many times, he doesn't necessarily say all the words, say half a sentence, leave half a sentence, on the one hand, in order to have a good relationship with Kim Do-joon, so as not to make others think that he is a president, like to put on a show, he investigated Kim Do-jun in private, and suddenly found that he was very close to an entertainment company called CJES, and appeared at the door of the company several times, and waited for a while before coming out of it.
Baek Chang-so, the president of CJES, actually walked outside in person and sent him out, looking cowering and seeming to be a little afraid.
What kind of person is Baek Chang-so, of course Yang Hyun-seok knows that there are no secrets in the entertainment industry, a family that started with a community background, if there is no force behind it, how can it open the door smoothly to do business, and I heard that in addition to the security business, CJES is now also preparing to dig trainees and form a girl idol group to make their debut.
Some time ago, the news on the Internet did not have this news, it seemed that it was a trainee of a certain company, and it cost a lot of money.
This pair of idol groups may not be particularly numerous, but for trainees, it has greatly exceeded many people's psychological expectations.
I couldn't help but be skeptical.
"Is the president of this company crazy, or is there something wrong with his head?"
First of all, let's not talk about whether the trainees can debut safely, even if they debut, whether they can be popular or not, this is not a matter of packing tickets, how many combinations, a month after debut, or even a few news, it will be unknown to everyone. So much so that no one can remember. What is the name of this combination. There are several members, what songs have been sung.
With such a large sum of money, is it worth digging up four trainees?
Yang Xianshuo has no score in his heart, if he were to be him, he would rather cultivate it in his own company than dig up artists from other companies.
Just like Quan Zhilong, he was originally a trainee of S.M Company. No one poached him, and in the end, it wasn't he who came to YG Company by himself, which Yang Hyun-seok still reserved his opinions and ideas.
The more you get to know it, the more fear and fear you have for Kim Do-joon.
Because you see through the other party, you can't find out his news, and you can't even figure out what his background is.
If he has nothing to do with CJES's Baek Chang-so, Yang Hyun-seok himself can't convince himself, even if he goes over and sees Baek Chang-so in person. It's just a hypothesis to talk about cooperation. It is estimated that he is not treated so well, and he personally sent himself out, which feels unrealistic when he thinks about it, and it is already a very good thing to be able to give a good face.
Because of this, Yang Hyun Suk treats Kim Do-jun extremely politely, no matter what others think, anyway, in his eyes, Kim Do-jun is a person who cannot be offended.
This is also the first event that Kim Do-joon chooses to participate in after staying at home for a long time.
As for FX, it's different, Kim Do-jun doesn't know any of the rest except for Crystal, and he hasn't met them, he's a stranger to them, he's never paid attention to them before, and he doesn't know where Crystal knows his phone, so he actually called to prove that he knows his artist friends outside the company.
After receiving such a call, Kim Do-joon was also drunk, so he could only cover his eyes and greet the members of FX one by one.
Fx officially announced its debut, with the title song "LACHATA", which is also a girl pop group launched by s.m.
The members are Song Qian, Amber, Luna, Shirley, Zheng Xiujing, that is, Xiao Crystal, this group is not very old, S.M company chose the slightly older Victoria as the captain of the group, which can be regarded as the captain according to the consistent tradition, the older one can not only give full play to the advantages of age, take care of the members of the group, but also be more mature and stable.
Crystal Krystal, Kim Do-joon is very familiar, and I've seen it many times, but every time we meet, it's not a good thing, and it's also strange for the little guy to go to the s.m company, when he went shopping in a department store with his mother and sister, he was discovered by s.m's scouts, and then because he was too young, he didn't go to the company until 2006 for formal training, and he made his official debut three years later.
Shirley is a child star, before her debut, she has participated in the filming of many TV series and movies as a child star, and when she made a cameo on the set, she was discovered by the scouts of S.M Company and was officially invited to participate in the auditions, and in 2005, she passed the youth performance group competition and was able to enter the company's training.
In 2006, Luna participated in the Korean TV show "Real Game" and was unexpectedly selected for the company.
Victoria, on the other hand, participated in a group dance competition and was unexpectedly selected by the S.M company, and then took the initiative to network her to become a trainee of the company.
Amber, to be honest, in fx, Kim Do-joon was the most impressed, and I remembered that girl at a glance, uh, she was more neutral, if it was placed abroad, maybe amber's popularity was the highest, and this kind of dress was very popular abroad recently, and girls were more neutral, but it attracted more fans, especially female crazy rice, who had a different handsome side from others.
Kim Do-joon also tried to listen to FX's new song, and after listening to it, he frowned, this style is a bit strange, I've never encountered it before, let's say it's K-pop! It's not quite like it, it's a simple dance combination! Not exactly, it has a local Korean flavor and a bit of European and American style.
Take the title song "LACHATA" as an example, which is a typical hip-hop drum beat and dynamic electronic music, a vivid recreation of pop dance music.
This song is also a famous composer of s.m, KENZIE graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA.
What to say about their songs, even Koreans, are difficult to understand and sing, compared to girls' generation, the songs are difficult and complicated, and even the lyrics are difficult to understand.
watched the music bank they went on to, from the music source score, album sales score, audience favorability score, and live performance score, among which the audience favorability score is a very important point.
They are missing a lot at this point, and there is not much difference between the other scores, and at this point, compared to other combinations, it is obvious, this score is low, basically announcing that you can't win the championship for a second time, and if you're lucky, it's only once, twice, and as for the third time, the probability is very low, unless S.M company makes a move, in order to improve the popularity and status of the group, and play their big hands behind the scenes, then it's another matter.
Kim Do-joon recently found out if S.M's company has changed sex, starting with the boy group Shinye, he began to take the European style and Western route.
Shine and fx are completely experimental, fx debuted as a power girl group, not cute, sexy, this is the obvious difference, who will take this title!
After watching FX's dance, positioning, movements, and performances, it is really very complicated, and it is no wonder that FX's goal is to become the most popular female dance group in Asia.
The choreography of the songs, compared to the average girl group, is either cute or showy, they are really like machines.
In general, the new combination just launched by S.M Company is indeed different from the past, and Kim Dojun did not predict what the future development prospects will be, he has not bothered to care about these now, after all, he doesn't know very well, and he can't say nonsense, they have just debuted, and there are still a long days in the future, you must know that Crystal was born in 1994, and she is only fifteen or sixteen years old when she debuts this year, and she is a little girl who has not grown up at all.
It's not about hitting them for the sake of their debut, take your time, things always develop in a good direction, and this time is no exception.
Kim Do-jun also encouraged them on the phone, since they have debuted, they must be even more strict with themselves, artists are not like on TV, they are easy all day long, attend events, dress up beautifully, take some photos, and click on the cover magazine.
Of course, except for people like Kim Do-joon, he is a bug, there is nothing to compare, not all artists are called Kim Do-jun, and others don't have his life.
After receiving a call from Kim Do-joon, the members of FX were also very excited, chattering non-stop, Kim Do-joon didn't have to guess, the crystal must be showing off over there!
He smiled slightly, shook his head, and hung up.
In a blink of an eye, it has been almost three years since he debuted, and in the past three years, how many artists have debuted, I don't know that I am already a senior now, but you must know that Kim Daojun is only 22 years old, and even after the New Year, he is only 23 years old, but look at it again, Crystal has already debuted at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and it really confirms a sentence.
"Be famous as soon as possible!"
Just when Kim Dojun was living his peaceful life steadily, an explosion in the entertainment industry once again turned his life upside down. (To be continued......)
