Chapter 665: Lee Hyo-ri Concert
"This dress really doesn't suit you," Lee Hyo-ri looked at Hee-sung disapprovingly, very speechless at his dress.
It was the day before the concert, and Hee-sung was the chief director of the concert, directing the staff to set up the set, while the guests in charge of the stage were rehearsing on the other half of the stage.
In addition to packaging artists, Hades is also responsible for organizing various types of concerts, book signings, meet-and-greets and other activities. Because he knows that if he wants to grow big and sit firmly, he can only develop vertically to a certain extent.
S&M Entertainment is unsurpassed in artist training and packaging, and today's Korean entertainment companies are repeating the old way of S&M star-making, Hee-sung's HS could have used S&M's resources, and after he became the majority shareholder of S&M, it was a left-handed and right-handed relationship, so some of the repetitions of HS and S&M can only be gradually integrated, which is also the most direct reason why S&M can release albums for TVXQ, SJ, and shinee at the same time.
In terms of HS, Xicheng focuses on film and television variety shows and albums; In the preparation of entertainment activities such as concerts, as well as the development of peripheral products, Xicheng integrated S&M's peripheral industries such as KTV into HS in the form of share swaps.
Because Lee Hyo-ri's concert was prepared by HS and Lee Hyo-ri's agency mnet, it was logical for Hee-sung to serve as the chief director, and the fee was only enough for the cost, and he himself helped for free.
The reason why Lee Hyo-ri said that Hee-sung was not dressed was because he was dressed like many directors, with a certain baseball cap on his head, a set of fat sportswear, a pair of gray sneakers on his feet, and his deliberately grown beard, he looked more than ten years old.
"I've been too busy lately to take care of it." Hee Cheng said this, but he was actually very satisfied with his image.
Before his debut, he was originally beautiful, but after a little Changshu, he was handsome, but now after growing a beard, he is all masculine, of course, because of the hairstyle, even if he wears a hat, he looks a little silly.
The movie role that Hee Sung is going to play is a fool, and he wants to play this role well. I even went to observe the mentally handicapped for several days. Now his every move sometimes bears the traces of some fools.
His mother, Cai Zhen'er, expressed concern about whether Hee Sung would be able to return to normal after acting on TV, while Mr. Lee Seung Ho was much calmer, thinking that it was better for this kid to be stupid.
"I spent a lot of money this time," Lee Hyo-ri looked at the palatial scenery and said gratefully, "It's all for your face." ”
Every qiē expense is counted on 20% of the concert's ticket revenue and 10% of the DVD revenue, if it weren't for Xicheng's face, this would not have been possible at all, let alone be so well arranged.
"Hey, hey. You're not afraid that I'll mess up your concert, what's the point if I suffer a little loss, I can afford to lose this little money," Xicheng has a lot of money. looks like a nouveau riche who is not bad for money.
Lee Hyo-ri obviously couldn't stand his bird-like appearance, and spit out: "I really should record it and upload it to the Internet for your fans to listen to." ”
"Fan ......" Hee Sung pouted, and he really didn't have much thought about this group.
He has now gradually moved into the background. The new album of Girls' Generation is one of those leaps. In the future, even if it is not completely behind the scenes, there will be a lot of things behind the scenes.
Even more so if he can buy a TV station along the way.
"Your company is here. Why didn't I see Girls' Generation," Lee Hyo-ri was a little puzzled, "I didn't seem to see the children at the award ceremony, so I guess it really needs to be refrigerated for a while." ”
If something goes wrong, you have to give an explanation to the public, not to mention girlhood, even if it is a national treasure artist like Lee Hyori, it is normal for her to be involved in a plagiarism incident and disappear for three or five months.
The point is that some people disappear for a long time, while others are never heard from since.
"They're okay, they're recuperating and trying to have a good harvest next year," Hee Sung sighed, "I don't know much about these doorways, I'm only in charge of their album production." ”
When it comes to packaging artists and hype, who can compare to Lee so-man and Kim Young-min? Of course, there have been a lot of messy things this year, which has weakened their aura a lot, which can be regarded as a stain. But because of this, Hee Sung can be sure that they will be more cautious and better in the future.
"I'm curious, what is it like for you to make an album for them, do you want to surpass wondergirls?"
It's not that Lee Hyo-ri hates wondergirls, those girls are also very likable, have strength and looks, and are also very polite to her, the senior, but because of Xicheng's relationship, she naturally followed Xicheng to stand on the side of Girls' Generation.
"That's the goal," Hee-sung said confidently.
"I heard that those JYPs have plans to let them go to the United States to develop," Lee Hyo-ri muttered very gossipy, "Do you think they will succeed?" ”
Since Hee Cheng set off a huge wave in the United States, BOA has also begun to emerge in the European and American music scene this year, coupled with the myth of Lee Seung Gi's recent creation of Zào, it may be that there are many arrogant factors in their bones, Korean musicians are stimulated to be unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and vow to conquer the world one by one.
Compared with Lee so-man's focus on Japan, Park Jin-young is obviously the most important person in the Korean music industry to value the European and American markets, and he dreams of making his singer stand at the top of the world.
Hee Sung is a demon, and his miracle cannot be replicated, but Lee Seung Gi gave Park Jin Young hope.
Lee Seung-gi's naturalization of the United States is one of the top ten scandals of the year in the Korean entertainment industry, and countless public figures have expressed indignation at it, but there are also a considerable number of people who are jealous of him.
The song "Lies" became popular with Bigbang, and the song "Tellme" became popular with Wondergirls, but they were far inferior to Lee Seung Gi.
How popular is Lee Seung Gi in the United States?
More red than Hee Sung!
Perhaps the way to change nationality is really the appetite of Americans, Lee Seung Gi is an Asian, all the major charts are at the top, records are sold out of stock, advertising endorsements are scheduled until the end of next year, and he himself is a frequent visitor to large and small entertainment media.
In particular, the American media is extremely enthusiastic about him, believing that he is the embodiment of the American dream in the new era.
If you had to find someone to compare to, it might not be in real life. Hee Sung can find someone from the memory of the otaku, and that is Justin. Bieber, mixed reviews, but damn popularity.
After all, Hee-sung is not very focused on the development of his American career, and he never even participates in any events in the American music industry.
Therefore, Park Jin-young made up his mind to let Wondergirls, who are already a little well-known in Europe and the United States, expand their territory in Europe and the United States, why should Lee Seung-gi, who is half-dead in South Korea, not be able to do it, but the girl group that has become popular all over the world can't.
Will they succeed?
In fact, Hee Cheng already has the answer in his heart, and there are many reasons. It was not easy to analyze it for Li Xiaoli for a while, so he could only smile indifferently and say, "I hope they can succeed." ”
Lee Hyo-ri's concert was announced by Kang Ho-dong, and a large number of the most popular singers and variety artists in South Korea were invited to come to the show, which can be called the most successful music feast at the end of 08.
Hee Sung is the chief director, he and Lee Hyori have teamed up, and almost all Korean artists have to give some face.
And the people who come are basically friendly cameos, and even the carriage and horse fares are free.
In fact, these people really don't care about the fare. Compared with the car and horse expenses that cannot be too much in themselves, they value the friendship between Lee Hyo-ri and Hee-sung more.
Xicheng's favor, it is hard to change.
Kang Ho-dong and Baek Ji-young performed "The Pig in My Ear", and Kim Ji-dong's version of "Painful Love Is Not Love". Yoo Jae-seok dances "BopeepBopeep", the infinite challenge version of "One Day at a Time", SJ sings "Sorrysorry", and the bigbang version of "nobody......
All kinds of reversals, all kinds of covers. All of them are classics, which have attracted concerts and climaxes.
But Lee Hyori's brilliance is still not overshadowed, this diva-level figure that only BOA can compare. A smile and a smile can bring tears to the eyes of fans.
If you want to ask how successful this concert was, those media reports needless to say, are all sycophants.
Just looking at the charts, the concert album DVD kicked out the rankings of wondergirls, bigbang, TVXQ, SJ, 2S and others on the album sales chart as soon as the concert album DVD was interviewed, and Shun Lì rose to the first place, with sales even approaching 700,000.
The most devastating thing is that this is not two or three months of sales, only half a month!
It is more attractive than a simple singer album, which directly contributed to the determination of the crew of "Infinite Challenge" to hold a big song festival next year.
Xicheng originally thought that he would lose some money this time, but he didn't expect that not only did he not lose, but he made some more money.
After Lee Hyo-ri's concert, Hee-sung began to officially join the crew of "Mother".
The script "Mother" was born relatively early, originally the idea of the famous director and screenwriter Bong Joon-ho, and when he was halfway through the script, he always felt that he couldn't find the feeling, so he found the poet and screenwriter Park Eun-ki, and the two teamed up to complete the writing of the script.
The role of mother chose actress Kim Hye-ja, who has 47 years of acting experience, and she is known as the national mother in the Korean film and television industry, and she is a real old actor.
Hee Sung and her have cooperated in the TV series "Palace", at that time the two were grandparents and grandchildren, and this time they worked together again, plus Bong Joon-ho, which perfectly constituted an iron triangle.
Before the movie started, the news of the three teaming up immediately caused an uproar, and the most direct consequence was that the famous Japanese film company BittersEnd did not hesitate to win the distribution rights of the film in Japan at a high price.
To borrow a phrase from BittersEnd's Executive Officer, Heishiro, that is, if you wait for one more second, more than a dozen competitors will emerge.
Hee Sung and Bong Joon-ho, these two people are box office guarantees in Japan, and Kim Hye-ja has also become a household name in Japan because of the hit of "Palace".
The preliminary work has basically been completed, and after Hee Sung joined the crew, he immediately plunged into intense filming, of course, in the process of making movies, he did not forget to pay attention to the major award ceremonies at the end of the year. (To be continued......)
