Chapter 451: Wonder Girls
Just when Choi Jung-won was doing global publicity for the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the debut of Lee Ji-hyun, Park Jung-ah, Chae Yeon, Narsha, and Yoo In-na was also in full swing.
This time, A.P's operation is even bigger than when SGWannaBe was in operation.
Official publicity, seniors, and debut programs have been wave after wave, and in the past two months, they have continued to bombard people's visual nerves.
Unlike the mysterious image before SG's debut, Lee Ji-hyun and her sisters already had a lot of popularity during their time as trainees.
I have been a backup dancer for Kim Jong Kook, a backup dancer for Lee Jung-hyun, and a backup dancer for Lee Hyo-ri, all of which are assets that cannot be ignored. Five young and beautiful girls, no matter where they go, they are a shining landscape.
Coupled with activities such as school uniform advertisements, their names have actually spread for a long time.
And this time the debut publicity has finally unveiled a veil of zuihou to the outside world.
Because Choi Jung-won didn't have time, before leaving, he taught Seo Byung-gu the dance of "Tellme". Then the girl group's dance expert was in charge of teaching them, and they should have practiced almost by now.
Cui Zhengyuan returned to the company and rushed to Li Zhixian's practice room as soon as possible.
Now that their debut has been put on the agenda, they have also moved from the A+ practice room in the trainee building to the exclusive practice room in the artist building.
When he walked in, Cui Zhengyuan found that dozens of people were crowded indoors.
Only in the middle of the space, Lee Ji-hyun and the others are practicing the dance of another song from the album.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that these people around were all staff members of HBC TV, and they should be recording a group variety show for their debut.
Coincidentally, the PD who was responsible for filming the group drama for Lee Ji-hyun and them was also the same person who directed for SG before.
Because of the success of "SGWannaBe", this PD, which was originally a newcomer, suddenly grew into a well-known new talent.
This time, of course, he is still in charge of the director's system.
And Kim Tae-ho, who received special care from Choi Jung-won, has been promoted to be in charge of PD. Other words. He is directly responsible for the shooting of this group comprehensive.
When Cui Zhengyuan came in, he saw it.
A look came over and asked if he wanted to appear on the show now. When I got a negative answer, I gave up.
You can see the difference between him and herself.
If you are a other utilitarian PD, when you see someone like Cui Zhengyuan, who is of great help to increase ratings, you will definitely turn the camera around without saying a word.
Cui Zhengyuan didn't want to appear on the show for the time being, not because he was dissatisfied with Lee Ji-hyun and others, but because he had some important things to say to Han Sung-ho, who stayed aside.
It was too noisy indoors, so they went outside and talked while walking.
"Brother. What's the reaction from the outside world now? "I've been out of work for too long, and Cui Zhengyuan has to start by understanding the situation.
Han Chenghao's expression was very satisfied, and he said happily: "It's very good, the ratings and topics of the show have been continuous." Although it is not as grand as SG when they debuted, it is still good enough. ”
"Not as good as SG them?" Cui Zhengyuan's heart was cold, and he had a very unpleasant feeling.
This girl group has high hopes for him, it is trained in the United States, it is the production of the title song, and it is pulled to dance for the seniors.
I've even shot several commercials. Which trainee from another company has this kind of treatment?
has done so much, but it can't compare to a combination of pure singing skills.
Doesn't that mean that all his hard work has been in vain?
However, Han Chenghao was very open-minded, patted him on the shoulder and explained: "You don't look at the current situation, since the dissolution of SES and Fin.K.L. The situation of the girl group has always been bad. BabyV.O.X and sugar have always been tepid, which has led to a sharp decline in the enthusiasm of various entertainment companies to form girl idol groups. ”
This is the truth, and Cui Zhengyuan, who has experienced it once, knows that the real situation is even worse.
Starting with TVXQ at the end of this year. Until 2007, male idol groups dominated the mainstream.
Li Zhixian and the others want to break out of the encirclement, and they still have a long way to go.
Now that I understand the seriousness of the gaffe. Cui Zhengyuan needs to start planning a plan to deal with it.
The first thing to do is definitely to increase the level of support.
For example, the MV for "tellme", which is about to start filming, although the plot is copied from the original version, the cast is absolutely luxurious.
Not only Choi Jung-won himself, but Yoo Jae-seok, PSY, Won Bin, and Jung Hyung-dun will all make cameos.
If the gorgeous list is gorgeous, I believe it will definitely arouse the public's desire to watch.
Of course, this is not enough, Cui Zhengyuan still has a lot to do.
In the original history, he still knows the trend caused by "Tellme".
In addition to the brilliance of the song itself and the excellence of the five girls, many imitations are also a major reason for the rapid popularity.
is different from the outside world to see the excitement, as the owner of an entertainment company, he still understands the inside story.
This series of parodies is not all personal hode actions of fans, and it is impossible to get rid of the hype of the agency at all.
Just like "Gangnam Style" in 2012, which became a global hit, YG actually did YG do a lot of things like the roadside signs stating that horseback dancing is not allowed, how people from various countries react when they see the music video, and various characters dancing across the street on horseback.
Taking advantage of the people's blind obedience mentality, the topic is hyped up, and a trend has been formed.
Once a large number of people are mobilized, then the trend will become an irreversible trend.
In this way, "Gangnam Style" has also stepped onto the altar.
This kind of hype is very effective in the era of the developed Internet.
Many well-known celebrities have become popular in this way, such as Justin. Bieber, Ladygaga, and many others are among the best.
What Cui Zhengyuan has to do now is to use the same way to pave the way for the hype in the near future.
First of all, he found Bai Zhongxi, the head of the Gangnam Police Station, and prepared to reproduce the topic of the traffic police jumping "Tellme".
You know, it was from here that "Tellme" set off a craze for national imitation.
Fortunately, my family has a relationship in the police community. It is not difficult to copy the methods of JYP if he is still a powerful person.
Sure enough, Bai Zhongxi did not disappoint him, and Director Bai was still happy to make a move.
After that, Cui Zhengyuan successively contacted the principal of the elementary school, the prison warden, and the person in charge of Samsung through various connections.
When the time comes, through these avenues, a craze will inevitably reappear.
Coupled with this simple and beautiful poisoned retro song, it is easy to resonate, and I believe that "Tellme" will lead Lee Ji-hyun and them to glory.
In addition, Choi Jung-won also gave orders to Yoo Jae-seok, Kang Ho-dong, Song Hye Kyo, PSY and other cadres, asking them to create more topics when they are on the show.
And after calculating the time, Choi Jung-won also came up with a brilliant idea.
When "Pirates of the Caribbean" came to South Korea to promote it. Let Lee Ji-hyun and them be the only guest performers.
You must know that HBC TV is in charge of this publicity campaign, and it is not up to him to decide how to arrange it.
The first Hollywood blockbuster in which South Korea's first artist participated, the attention can be imagined.
On such an important occasion, Lee Ji-hyun and their appearance was a must-have publicity event in itself.
Under the multi-pronged operation, Cui Zhengyuan would never believe that his girl group would be dragged down by this era and not be able to soar to the sky.
What about the prosperity of the men's group, and what about going against the current.
Let all those who wait to see the joke take a good look at the means of the reborn.
Maybe the prosperous era of the girl group has declined. It's going to come back again through my own hands.
Of course, Choi Jung-won himself doesn't want the girl group era to come so early.
In that case, Kim Taeyeon's debut will cause much less sensation.
Simply, this is the time of the day. No entertainment company has enough and suitable female trainees to make their debut in a group.
It is very likely that the next era will be the rampant boy group.
As for the women's group, only Li Zhixian and they can compete, and the others should still stand out from the crowd.
After all, those entertainment companies don't have so many ultra-modern planning methods as Cui Zhengyuan, and they can't go against the sky.
All the preparations are in place. Waiting for the arrival of June 1st, Lee Ji-hyun and his wife will officially debut on HBC's music program.
In the half month before this, the most important thing was the shooting of the group comprehensive.
It's not. didn't give Choi Jung-won a chance to catch his breath, and Kim Tae-ho, who was in charge of the shooting, hurriedly came to him.
It turned out that it was not far from the scheduled broadcast date, but the name of Lee Ji-hyun and their group had not yet been established.
Because it is a group variety show, it is really unreasonable to have the blessing of the group name, so he asked for it.
Originally, the people in charge of A.P Company had thought of several names, and even Lee Ji-hyun and the five people were asked to come up with a name.
After all, the name of the SG regiment was what they thought of, and in the end it was passed.
So everyone thinks that Choi Jung-won likes to do this.
But in the end, which name can be passed, it must be approved by Cui Zhengyuan. Otherwise, no one would dare to point fingers at this.
Listening to Kim Tae-ho's intention, Choi Jung-won did not hesitate for a moment, and directly set the name of the show - "WonderGirls' wonderlife".
As a result, Lee Ji-hyun and their group name also have it, which is the revised version of WonderGirls.
Anyway, they all plagiarized the songs, Cui Zhengyuan had a thick face and a black heart, and he didn't care about stealing the name of the group again.
He is bullying Park Zhenying for being ignorant and ignorant, and he is at ease when he uses it.
Lee Ji-hyun and the others really wanted to learn what SG looked like and name their group. But Choi Jung-won's will cannot be transferred, and after discussion, everyone found that the name WonderGirls was really good, so they happily used it.
A combination with a title and without a title are two different things entirely.
With the sign of WonderGirls, even the five daughters of Lee Ji Hyun feel like an artist. (To be continued......)
