Chapter 691: Star King (1)
What's new in the Korean entertainment industry lately? The first is that Zixi, an international superstar, officially released a record, and Jessica, one of the members of Girls' Generation, collaborated to record a record called "Cold Noodles", which only has a title song of the same name "Cold Noodles". As the top actor in South Korea, Zixi really doesn't have many shortcomings, because he has too much aura.
Zixi has many titles and titles such as world star, international superstar, Asia-Pacific actor, national actor, charity artist, etc., and his popularity is surprisingly good. An informal official survey shows that most of the popular actors and stars in the Korean entertainment industry are close to Zixi. In the variety show industry, there are also many variety artists who have a very good relationship with Zixi, and Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong, Kim Jidong and Zixi are close relatives. Not to mention the music industry, the mythical group, TVXQ, SJ, Bigbang, WonderGirls, Girls' Generation, Fin.k.l, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Jung-hyun, Rain, Park Jin-young, etc., all have a very friendly relationship with Zixi. Think about how much of a shortcoming such a person can have?
If it is Zixi's shortcoming, playing football is one. Zixi plays baseball well, his motor nerves are not bad, he has strength and speed, but unfortunately it is miserable in football. I practiced with a full-time coach, and I even found an opportunity to learn from Park Ji-sung a few times, but unfortunately Zi-hee's footwork was too poor. In Park Ji-sung's words, Zi-hee's feints are so fake that they can't even fool a three-year-old child. As for dribbling the ball? Clumsy as an eighty-year-old man's movements, the ball is carried with it, and the person runs in front, but the ball is still walking behind, which makes people laugh and cry.
Someone wants to beat Zixi in some aspects, and football must be the best choice. Even Jiang Hudong, a fat guy, dared to openly provoke Zixi in football, which is sad when you think about it!
If football is Zixi's sports injury, then singing is a fatal injury that Zixi has always been blamed for. When Zixi was interviewed on radio and television, he also admitted that his voice was not good and he couldn't sing high notes, which is well known to the entire Korean entertainment industry.
This time, when I was going to record a record, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was to raise a big question mark in their minds: "Is he okay?" ”
The song "Cold Noodles" appeared in the episode of the Infinite Challenge just aired at the ballad festival, and it is an original song composed temporarily by Girls' Generation members Jessica and Park Myung-so, so why did this song become a chorus between Jessica and Zixi?
In this regard, the media immediately interviewed Park Myung-so. The poisonous tongue said without hesitation: "After watching the second episode, you will know that I can't sing well, so let Zixi sing it." Can't I sing well and can't sing it myself? Doesn't that disgrace me? "The media automatically filters Park Myung-so's words, and not even a single sentence of this guy's words is true.
But one thing is for sure, Zixi and Jessica's collaboration on a record is authentic. Moreover, TCE also confirmed that E-TRIBE, the original lyricist and composer of "Cold Noodles", has modified the song to offset the problem of Zixi's voice as much as possible, and the recorded effect is said to be very good.
If you say that Zixi's recording will be exciting, especially which of Zixi's "knights" are even more enthusiastic. They don't want Zixi to sing well, they are going to treasure this record, because there will be Zixi's personal photo album in the record. Subsequently, TCE and S.M jointly released the record "Cold Noodles" recorded by Zixi and Jessica, and after removing the cost, all profits were allocated to charity, and the Star Charity Foundation allocated and operated the donation.
As soon as this news was announced, the background of the record "Cold Noodles" completely changed. I like Zixi's buy as a treasure, and I like Girls' Generation Jessica's as well. What if you don't like both? Then the same buy back, which is a good act as a charity.
The single album has not yet gone on sale, and the pre-sales have reached as many as 50,000 copies, not counting the number of overseas orders. This achievement broke the sales record of the first week of Girls' Generation's mini-second album on the HANTEO chart in one fell swoop, and surprised many seniors in the music industry. They have to sigh that Zixi's influence in South Korea has completely transcended the category of a film actor. knows that he can't sing well, but the people are still willing to spend money to buy his records, and he is really more popular than others.
If it is said that Zixi's single album is the first shot, then the subsequent global release of the Hollywood blockbuster [Transformers 2 Comeback] starring him directly detonated Zixi's super popularity in South Korea.
The North American box office premiere was 33.71 million US dollars, breaking 100 million in 4 days, 200 million in 8 days, and 300 million US dollars in 12 days. If you calculate it, then the global box office has exceeded $500 million in 12 days. This box office data is a height that many Korean actors can't reach in their lifetime. Some unobtrusive media have calculated that the box office of a movie of Zixi is more than the box office of some Korean actors who have been acting for 30 years, or even 40 years.
Michael? Jackson's death cast a shadow over the world music scene. In Europe and the United States, the news of Michael Jackson's death completely overshadowed the craze of [Transformers 2 Comeback]. Fans are crying, grieving, and losing their souls for the loss of their beloved idol. The most talked about is not only the mystery of Mike's death, but also the handling of tickets for the 50 concert tours that he had sold out before his death.
In South Korea, there are also various events to honor Mike. Candlelight evenings were held to commemorate the superstar of this generation, and a large imitation of Mike's dance steps was held as a farewell gift.
But Mike is too far away from them, and Zixi, a national actor, seems closer. Zixi's records and movies immediately occupied people's attention, and there was an endless stream of people who went to the theater to buy tickets. The major cinemas were even fuller, and they had to increase the number of screenings and the number of screens screened. Even if it was zero morning, it was necessary to open an additional midnight show to barely clear the people who were waiting outside for tickets.
Girlhood has a lot of resentment towards Zixi, and they collectively boycott the movie starring Ge Zixi, because this OPPA once again did not keep his promise. Not only did they not come back to Xiaoxian's nineteenth birthday party, but they also did not attend the launch of their new song for the second mini album. What's even more hateful is that Zixi and Jessica's single album stole all the limelight from their mini second album, not only did the pre-sales far exceed them, but people talked about and expected more about "cold noodles".
There is even media speculation that if "Cold Noodles" can be on the show and sing, one is certain. Girls' Generation is probably going to be a stepping stone for Zixi's debut in the ballad world this time. This argument fills Taeyeon and Yoona with resentment, and even Jessica is implicated, so she can only agree to the members' demands and stand by them unconditionally.
As a female idol who has been debuting for two years, they are returning to the stage after five months, and they all need more opportunities to be on camera to promote their latest album. The ace variety shows of major TV stations are naturally the best choice for their idol group to return to promote new songs.
"StarKing", as another indoor ace variety show hosted by Jiang Hudong after SBS TV's "Family Birth", has always had good ratings. The main purpose of the show is to show the different skills of various people with unique skills, extending from South Korea to Chinese mainland, Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places. With the rapid rise in ratings, the degree of attention is also getting higher and higher, and there are videos of programs uploaded on YouTube, attracting many people with special skills from Europe and the United States to come across the ocean to participate.
At the recording site of SBS TV StarKing, Jiang Hudong skillfully mobilized the atmosphere of the scene, and bursts of laughter came out from time to time in the studio. There was not only the laughter of the guests, but also the laughter of the audience. This kind of ability to make jokes, Jiang Hudong is already able to come easily, and he is familiar with it. In addition, there are Zhao Huilian and BOOM, who are good at making jokes, and there will definitely be no cold time in the show.
In addition to Cho Hye-lian and BOOM, there are also all members of Girls' Generation present, UIE from AfterSchool, Kim Hyun-ah from 4MINUTE, Park Jae-bum from 2PM, Nichkhun, Jang Woo-young, etc., and many members of the idol singer group are involved. Some of them are promoting new songs, some are newcomers debuting, and some are increasing the exposure of their groups, with different purposes.
As StarKing's on-site responsible PD, Jung Hyo-min PD is responsible for monitoring the entire live recording process, and if there is a mistake, it needs to be done all over again. Very rarely, a program of more than an hour, often videotaped plus rest and preparation time, takes more than four or five hours.
With headphones, watching Jiang Hudong and Zhao Huilian keep making jokes at the scene, Zheng Xiaomin PD nodded with satisfaction. With the cooperation of Girls' Generation, Kim Hyun-ah, who debuted again with the 4MINUTE group, and the youthful and beautiful UIE, the members of these girl groups are really very open-minded, and for the sake of the effect of the show, they often don't even estimate the image of each person.
Just as Zheng Xiaomin PD was happy, a man wearing a wide-fitting T-shirt and shorts, a pair of plastic sandals, a straw hat, a khaki backpack behind him, and a pair of big sunglasses on his face walked in at the entrance of the studio, covering half of his face. One hand holds a cup of coffee, and the other hand holds a white plastic bag. This kind of nondescript dress immediately attracted the attention of Zheng Xiaomin's PD.
In order not to let unrelated people hinder the process of recording, Zheng Xiaomin PD said to the assistant next to him: "Go and ask who is over there, if it is not an unrelated person, please ask him to leave, don't let him obstruct the show." ”、
"Whew!" The staff also saw the people who came in, looking at the straw hat that seemed to be not very old, but the straw hat on his head was awkward to look at, no different from the countrymen who came to Seoul from the countryside to see the world for the first time.
"Yikes! Say what about you! Don't look around, it's you. The staff walked over angrily, pointed to the person who broke into the studio, and said angrily: "Don't you know that a show is going on here?" Whoever approves that you can come in casually, don't hurry up and get out. ”
"Can't you just come in here? Your doors are not closed. The visitor pointed to the open door behind him.
"Can you just come in if the door is not closed?" When the staff heard that this "countryman" actually dared to refute him, his face was not very good-looking, and with anger, he pointed to the gate and said: "Give me a way out of the road immediately, or I will call the guards." ”
The person who came took his eyes, looked directly at the staff in front of him, and said lightly: "When did the people from SBS TV station be so domineering, do you need to call the guards to drive people away even when they come in to take a look?" ”
"Azusa... Zi... Zixi? Although the visitor has not yet taken off the abrupt straw hat on his head, it does not prevent the staff from recognizing who the person in front of him is.
