Chapter 1374: Controversy
PS: Thank you for the tip!
The entertainment industry has never been a quiet place, and it is always disturbing and dazzling.
The reason why this is so is nothing more than fame and fortune.
Here, some people can sell their hue in order to be famous, some people can be grandiose in order to be famous, and some people can also fabricate right and wrong in order to be famous.
Although Hyo-min's fashion show achieved good results, the outside world generally spoke highly of it, and Choi Jung-won personally came forward to fight a war of words with those doubters, but he still couldn't stop the controversy.
There are two main points of controversy about this fashion show.
The first point is that Hyomin, as an active idol, does not concentrate on his own work and crosses borders to challenge designers, is it a bit of a sesame seed and a watermelon?
Everyone knows that idols are actually a very tiring profession, and the more popular the idol, the more so.
On average, they have less than five hours of rest per day, followed by a heavy journey. In this case, Xiaomin is still out of his own job to create his own brand, is it a little blind?
At the same time, A.P not only does not stop this kind of behavior, but also supports all the members from the top to the bottom, can it be regarded as an entertainment company in the true sense?
The second point is, if there is great success in the field of designers, will Hyomin be able to continue to focus on the group's activities? If not, is GirlsGeneration in danger of disbanding?
If the controversy on the first point is quite ordinary, then the speculation on the second point has really set off a big trend.
After all, people's energy is limited, and it is difficult to do everything well at the same time.
As a member of the idol group, Hyo-min is not among the most popular. In other words, it was already very hard to follow the group's activities, but in such a situation, I did not try my best to increase my popularity, and I also crossed borders to operate in completely different fields.
If she tastes the sweetness in the field of designer, is she willing to continue to work hard as an idol?
When the second point of controversy flooded the Internet. There is also a lot of pessimism among GirlsGeneration's fans.
Most of these fans are very young children, who do not have much firm assertiveness and are easily influenced by public opinion from the outside world.
Those overwhelming and ethereal comments have become a matter of concern to them. For a time, there was a faint tendency to split within the long-cherished wish.
The relationship between the fans of the group and the individual fans of other members and Sakura Grass, a fan of Hyomin, gradually begins to become delicate. If one is not good, it may lead to a tearing war.
Fortunately, Choi Jung-won had the foresight to set up an organization within A.P that was specifically responsible for fan management. Hee Sung immediately discovered the problem of Yan zhòng sex and immediately notified the GirlsGeneration studio.
Zhao Mingjun didn't dare to slack off. Immediately asked Xiaomin to stand up, and announced his claim through the media and the official website.
In the statement, Hyomin repeatedly said that she was honored to be a member of GirlsGeneration. The power of the combination is the biggest motivation and source for me to get to where I am today, and it is also the home that I can't give up. So no matter when, she will be a member of GirlsGeneration, and her dear sisters and fans will go on forever.
At the same time, the other members of GirlsGeneration also came forward to support Hyomin through guò SNS and cheered her on. I wish her designer event a complete success.
Seeing that his favorite idols are still united and in love with each other, the slight cracks in the middle of his long-cherished wish disappeared in an instant, and all his worries came to naught.
It doesn't matter what others say. None of their idols are more convincing to them.
However, the disturbances from the outside world have not subsided, and as time goes by, the focus of the controversy gradually tilts towards the question of whether Hyo-min, as an idol, is qualified to challenge the designer.
Seeing that the outside world looks down on his idol. The long-cherished wishes have been on fire and have repeatedly started a war of words with others on the Internet.
But they are just a group of ordinary fans, compared to those media who have the right to public opinion. The voice that came out was obviously so insignificant.
It was under such circumstances that Cui Zhengyuan received a call from "Entertainer Intermediary".
"Hello, Executive Choi, we are Han Seok-jun, Lee Yun-ji, and Shin Hyun-joon, the MC of "Entertainer Intermediary". The phone was connected, and the three MCs respectfully took the initiative to introduce themselves. (In fact, these three people only started to serve as the MC of "Entertainer Intermediary" in 2013, but Lotus can't find the previous information, so they have to embezzle it here.) )
As soon as Choi Jung-won heard the name of the show, he knew the purpose of the other party.
This is a weekly program broadcast by KBS2TV in South Korea, and the main content is to focus on the latest hot entertainment information in South Korea and interview the first popular stars.
To put it bluntly, it is a program about current affairs news in the entertainment industry.
However, this show is very good, and it is often able to interview some super big stars who rarely appear, so it is very popular with the audience.
At this time, they interviewed Choi Jung-won, apparently trying to get a point of view from him about the recent Hyo-min controversy.
"Hello, audience friends who watched "Entertainer Agency", hello everyone. I'm Choi Jeong-won, Executive Director of A.P Entertainment, and I'm glad to be able to meet you here. Because he knew that the other side was broadcasting live, Cui Zhengyuan, who was worried, spoke very politely.
"Entertainer's Intermediary" is carried out in the form of a news broadcast, so the time is very tight. The MC didn't delay and sorted out the content very quickly.
"In the show, we have already discussed the recent challenge of GirlsGeneration member Hyo-min to the designer, and we have introduced some of the controversial points to the audience. Now we have Mr. Choi Jung-won, the managing director of A.P Entertainment, as the planner who is fully committed to promoting the debut of Hyo-min fashion designer, I wonder what your opinion is on this matter? Shin Hyun-joon is very like an announcer, and he explained the situation quickly and concisely.
"First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone for causing such a big controversy about this incident." What else can I say, Choi Jung-won first came up and put on the general attitude of Korean artists facing this kind of thing, and showed the good side to everyone.
Next. He was not polite, and went all out to denounce those who tried to stir up strife. "In fact, in my opinion, there is no need for the controversy about Hyo-min to arise at all. She loves fashion and has a great talent, and it is also her dream to become a fashion designer. A girl just does the act of fulfilling her dreams, no matter how you look at it, it's a very beautiful thing. As her boss and friend, or everyone, I believe that she should give applause for such an inspirational thing. ”
The MC didn't let go lightly, and Li Runzhi asked: "The focus of controversy that is common now is that Hyo-min is an idol. Do you have what it takes to challenge designers? ”
Cui Zhengyuan was also not polite, and asked bluntly: "I don't know what you mean by ability?" If it is an evaluation, there is a lot of content about the press conference on the Internet now, and I believe that the accounts of those who have experienced it are the most powerful testimony. I know that many people are prejudiced because Hyomin is an idol, and think that her challenging designers is an act of self-indulgence. But what I would say is that as we know the top designers, George. Armani, Janu. Lanvin, Gabriel. Chanel, Christine. Dior, pickup. Cardin and others, before becoming sought-after design gurus. They are also just ordinary people. So why can't Hyomin, who is an idol, do this? In fact, the origin of this controversy is not what Hyomin's identity is, but that many people wear colored glasses and take the lead in defining her identity. And this is also a concrete embodiment of an injustice in the entertainment industry at present. I can only regret this. ”
"Entertainer Intermediary" is most happy to broadcast sensitive hot spots in the entertainment industry, because in this way it can get high attention.
Now Cui Zhengyuan's words suddenly attracted the focus to another aspect, and also made the three MCs overjoyed.
Don't dare to hesitate in the slightest. Han Shijun immediately walked up the vine and asked, "The meaning of Executive Choi's words seems to have a lot of feelings of reformulating the evaluation for idols. I don't know if that's the case? ”
This question is too hateful, and if you don't answer it well, you are likely to offend a lot of people.
You must know that the hierarchy in the entertainment industry has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time, and even ordinary people think so.
But Choi is clearly ready and determined to speak out. "Yes, that's right, I can't agree with the outside world's perception of idols. I currently have a report on the 2009 profit of the Korean Entertainment Industry Association, which clearly shows the contribution of idol groups to the Hallyu industry. As of December 31 last year, the Hallyu industry had generated a total profit of 4.3 trillion won. Among them, the film industry accounts for 47 percent, film and television and variety shows account for 33 percent, and music accounts for 20 percent. Although on the surface, the music aspect is in the smallest part, and the idol group is only a part of pop music. But if you look at it all overall, the proportion of the entire Hallyu project with idols participating in the production of zuò is as high as 75%, accounting for three-quarters of all proportions. What kind of figure is this, I believe everyone can understand. In my opinion, it is quite unfair that these active idols are still being treated with colored glasses and do not enjoy the honor that belongs to them. ”
No one expected that Cui Zhengyuan would come up with a report based on real numbers.
Saying a thousand words and ten thousand, there is nothing real and the numbers are more powerful.
You say that idols are vases, they don't have strength, and they bring bad children. However, three-quarters of the output value of the entire Korean entertainment and cultural industry comes from the hands of these groups, so why should people be subordinated to actors and singers?
As for this number, Cui Zhengyuan is really not blind. Because if you change the statistical method, you can see where the problem lies.
In the past, when doing information about the proportion of industrial output value, the investigation agency has always arbitrarily listed idol groups separately and cut off the connection with other aspects.
In this way, it naturally seems that the idol group's shortcomings in creating zào output value are not taken seriously.
However, it must be known that in today's Korean entertainment industry, the boundaries of film and television songs are becoming more and more blurred, and more and more idols are singing and dancing, and they are also constantly participating in movies, TV dramas, variety shows, MCs and other fields, and they occupy a large proportion.
If the part of their participation is taken out and added to the original proportion, it suddenly becomes huge.
Cui Zhengyuan used this way to let everyone see how far the insignificant idol group in their mouths had come. (To be continued......)
