Park Zhenying has been proud of the spring breeze recently, first the debut of the 4-member boy group 2AM in July, and then the debut of the 6-member boy group 2PM in September. However, when he heard a news from an old rival S&M company, he was still depressed for a while, and it turned out that TVXQ was going to return to release the regular fourth series two years later.
2AM or 2PM, now it can only be said that there are two small shoots, and there is no combination in JYP's hands that can compete with TVXQ at all, and it can also be said that there is no combination that can compete in the entire Korean entertainment industry now, SS501 is not good, and bingbang is not good.
So Park Jin-young had an idea, an idea of using the "general trend" to block the "general trend". Park Jin-young now has a "big trend" in his hands, the women's trend, after 3 years of a vacuum period without a women's group combination, the market is now in urgent need of a women's group, WonderGirls is already a first-line group, just one step away from becoming a new generation of women's group. Since he can't compete with S&M in the men's group, he avoids the important and develops quickly in his weaknesses. The intersection of two different markets is not very much, and JYP can completely monopolize the domestic girl group market.
Park Jin-young also intends to do this when he thinks of this, after "sohot", Park Jin-young has already prepared the last part of the retro trilogy, and originally planned to let WonderGirls release a single after the 2PM publicity period, but now that TVXQ is going to return, then the 2PM newcomer promotion period can also end early, because the second half of the year from the release of TVXQ's regular fourth album is the year of TVXQ.
Since 10 days ago, Park Jin-young has been letting WonderGirls practice "noboby", the last part of the retro trilogy. When Park Jin-young gave this song to WonderGirls, the captain Min Xianyi felt a little ridiculous, what kind of song is this, the phrase "IwantnobodynobodybutYou" was repeated 14 times, and other lyrics were also repeated 5 or 6 times, and she became bad after singing this song.
However, Min Xianyi thinks that this song has a very high chance of becoming popular, because the melody is too poisoned, and only that kind of poisoned melody is the basis of the big hit in the Korean song industry, which can be seen from the previous divine comedies. So even if it feels ridiculous, the girls of WonderGirls take this song "noboby" very seriously, but such a simple song, it only takes one day to learn WonderGirls to get familiar with it, and the recording is just a day, there is no difficulty at all, but it stumped Park Jin-young on the MV, because he designed a simple dance for this song, but the MV director hired by JYP Company couldn't shoot the effect he wanted. If such a good song is ruined in the MV, then Park Jin-young will really have to buy a piece of tofu and die. So at this time, he remembered Li Chong, who had crossed paths before.
In 2002, after Rain became the strongest newcomer king, in 2003, Park Jinying originally planned to make Rain a real king in South Korea, a king like Seo Taeji, so in 2003, Park Jinying released two albums "First Rain" and "How to Avoid the Sun" to Rain, intending to establish Rain's status in the music industry in one fell swoop. However, the first "First Rain" was released shortly after the release of Lee Hyori, Lee Hyori directly turned 2003 into the year of Lee Hyori, no singer or group is the opponent of the "general trend" Lee Hyori, if it were not for the fact that South Korea's patriarchal ideology has been deeply rooted, Lee Hyori can become the first women's triple crown. And at this time, Lee Chong, who filmed MTV for Lee Hyo-ri, was well known to everyone.
2004 was the year of Lee Chong's full-scale explosion, Kim Jong Kook, rain, Lee Jung-hyun, and a series of high-quality MTVs sent Lee Chong to the position of the first MTV director, and Park Jin-young met Lee Chong when he was filming MTV for rain.
Park Jin-young doesn't have Lee Chong's contact information now, but he knows that Min Xianyi has, so he called Min Xianyi, "Xianyi, what do you think of the MV for our title song "Noboby"? Park Jin-young did not directly say that he wanted to find Lee Chong to shoot the MV, but first tested the idea of captain Min Xianyi.
In fact, Min Xianyi is not very satisfied with the MV of "noboby", although the song and dance are very simple, but she always thinks that this MV should be more interesting, rather than the current conventional shooting. "President, I don't like this MV very much, it's too monotonous." Min Xianyi directly said what was in his heart.
Park Jin-young heard that he was really a good apprentice of his own, and the conclusion was similar to his own, but he still didn't say what he thought, "Then what do you think should be?" If you want to remake the music video, who do you think would be better to shoot? ”
When Min Xianyi heard the president of her family say this, she immediately began to think about the director in the MV industry, and she passed all the previous collaborations with her, because they were all routine shooting, and there was no imagination. In the end, after thinking about it, it gradually became a Li Chong who met her requirements, and no one else knew if she could have the idea to shoot this MV well, she believed that Li Chong would definitely be able to shoot it well, which she never doubted.
"President, I think Lee Chong's oppa is okay, but he seems to be paid too much, Lee Hyo-ri's predecessor's album MV production zuò has reached 3 billion won, of which Lee Chong's oppa's production fee is 300 million won!" Min Xianyi exaggerated this fact, which everyone knows.
Park Zhenying rolled her eyes, secretly depressed in her heart, Li Chong, this guy is really robbing money, but the flesh hurts the flesh, and some money can't be saved, "It's true, the price of one of his MVs has reached 30 million, it's really not cheap!" However, for your last step to the top, I plan to spend 50 million to make this MV! "WonderGirls only released an EP this time, of which there are several versions of "noboby", and the remaining two songs are not worth mentioning just a few of them, and the most important thing is to launch the big killer of "noboby". So the cost is very low, but now if you ask Li Chong to shoot this MV, it will cost you a lot of money.
Min Xianyi was very moved when he heard this price, and the president of Iron Rooster was finally willing to spend a lot of money to shoot the MV for them.
"Xianyi, you call Li Chong in a while, mention this matter to him first, and I'll look for him later!" Park Zhenying saw that the flickering was almost over, so he asked Min Xianyi to find Li Chong first.
Park Jin-young's small abacus played well, only after Lee Chong's movie "Chaser" won the award, Lee Chong's worth has risen, let's not talk about the value of the film director, that is, the MV director's worth will not be less than 1 MV50 million won, this is still a friendship price, this is still a price, Li Chong is not willing to do it at all, you don't see the big effort after the release of Lee Hyori's MV, Kim Jang-so can laugh when he sleeps with his eyes closed! So Park Zhenying played a trick and let Min Xianyi talk to Li Chong first, Li Chong would not refuse the little girl with cruel words, and then Park Zhenying would go up again, and then find Li Chong to negotiate.
