Chapter 291: Radio Star (5) [Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass]
PS: Thank you for the ruthless good people, Kiki little monsters and bugs, and the monthly pass of the Snow Silver Poppy Girl, it's coming early!!
For his own Weishenme will be recognized by the European and American markets, Cui Zhengyuan has also thought deeply in his spare time.
If there is a fundamental reason, it is the magic of money. The combination of Sony and C.J Group is what makes him invincible.
The entertainment market is the most thorough place where capital operation is embodied, and all operations are so naked. Opportunistic shortcuts that become popular overnight are only a very small number of cases. And after the peak, it will quickly slide down, and eventually disappear from everyone.
Only by relying on strong financial support can we always operate various means and be on the cusp of entertainment.
It can be said that strong capital is the inevitable foundation for success.
But this foundation alone is not enough, in the history of the entertainment industry, there has never been a lack of big investment and no return, and even loss of money.
At this point, success depends on the quality of the work. Only fascinating good things can arouse people's interest and make them pay for them willingly. Otherwise, just wait for the street and the scolding continues.
These are things that everyone can think of. Cui Zhengyuan has been immersed in entertainment operations for decades, and it can be said that he has a very deep understanding of this aspect.
Not only him, but almost all artists will start from these two aspects. But this is definitely not the foundation that can allow him to gain a foothold in Europe and the United States, otherwise he would not be the only seedling until now.
If you change to another artist and achieve such an achievement as him, you may be tricky and secret. If you tell the secret of success and let others join in, wouldn't it be a dilution of your own achievements?
But Choi Jung-won won't, he can't wait to tell everyone who thinks the same way about his experience. Because he is doing business management. We know the power of clustering.
It has only been more than two months since he entered the U.S. market, and he has already encountered countless criticisms. A man alone, with no one who can help him share the pressure and help him.
If more Korean artists can gain a foothold in Europe and the United States and form a group, it will be of great benefit to both individual artists and the entire Korean Wave.
Only in this way can we resist the impact of pop culture trends and be invincible.
PSY became instantly popular with "Gangnam Style" and swept the world. More influential than any of the top superstars of the time. But because of a person's limited influence, after the madness of the second half of 2012, "Uncle Bird" has become a dispensable term. His follow-up songs also became unpopular internationally, and his popularity began to calm down.
It is because in the development process of Hallyu before this, whether it was the first generation of HOT, Rain, etc., or the later TVXQ, Girls' Generation, etc., there was no real significance in gaining international popularity, which made Hallyu achieve a certain height.
On the entire shijie, Hallyu is not mainstream pop culture, and only belongs to the entertainment of a small group of people.
What Choi Jung-won has to do is. I hope that by using myself as a breakthrough, more Hallyu stars will enter the world. Little by little, the market will be stronger and bigger, and then a considerable industrial chain will be formed.
This is also the reason why he and Kim Young-min have established a future cooperation policy, although he often caused trouble for S.M when his career was just starting out. Just with Choi Jung-won and his A.P company. There's no way to do that.
More people must join in order to become bigger and stronger.
At this moment, he naturally did not avoid talking about Jin Jidong's problem, but talked about his feelings in detail. "In addition to the planning operation behind it. I think the most fundamental reason why I can be recognized by the European and American markets is that I have never considered myself an Asian artist. ”
"But you're obviously an Asian artist, your skin color, your eyes, your hair color. No matter where you go, no matter who you are seen, you will say that you are an Asian artist. Kim retorted.
Because of Cui Zhengyuan's identity, others are not so open. Although "RadioStar" claims to be the most taboo-free show out there, it's just a gimmick. When they encounter real power, they will also consider the benefits and disadvantages.
What's more, Cui Zhengyuan is also the founder and boss of this show, and his influence on the show is extraordinary. Who really dares to make fun of him casually, and doesn't want to continue to mix in this circle?
"European and American talents don't care where you are from, when they cooperate, they only think that you are an artist, and you have to abide by the code of conduct of the European and American entertainment industry. Otherwise, in their eyes, you are a sign of unprofessionalism. Cui Zhengyuan further explained.
"Haven't Europeans and Americans ever discriminated against you? Are there any language difficulties or behavioral barriers? Jin Jiula asked what Asian artists were most worried about entering Europe and the United States.
Cui Zhengyuan spread his hands and said honestly: "Of course there is, and there are quite a few." During the filming of the MV for "Cup of Life", the top stylist of Shijie invited by Sony had a serious conflict with my assistant. ”
"Oh, who is it?" Gossip or something, the most seductive thing. No, Zheng Hengdun suddenly cheered up, and asked with bright eyes.
Cui Zhengyuan smiled, with an expression that everyone understands: "How can you say this." But one thing I can tell is that that person is really, really famous. ”
"OK, let's talk about the conflict that will break out in weishenme. This shouldn't be a problem, right? Yin Zhongxin took the initiative to find a compromise.
There is nothing to hide about this, and it can also show people the real story behind the European and American entertainment circles. So Cui Zhengyuan hid Caroline's name and told the original conflict as it was.
When he heard him say that the assistants in South Korea, including himself, were pointed at their noses, a newcomer, and a rookie, everyone present couldn't help but be angry.
They are all Koreans, and the kind of situation where compatriots go out and are insulted, let them empathize. At the same time, they also knew the hardships of those compatriots who were traveling abroad, and also understood that Cui Zhengyuan's success was not all smooth sailing.
"In fact, the cause of the conflict was indeed my assistant's mistake. This must be admitted that the concept of us is too different from that of other European and American entertainment circles, so we do not understand the requirements thoroughly. Choi Jung-won didn't blindly emphasize how hateful Caroline's approach was. He also explained the mistakes of his staff.
Although he has many shortcomings, one thing worth commendating is that he is more realistic. It's right, it's wrong.
Tony couldn't agree more. "That's true, when the group was in the event, we went to Australia to perform. It was also because of a mistake on the part of the staff that the performance was delayed for half an hour. And then backstage, our whole team was yelled at loudly. ”
Think about the scene when the HOT, who was in the limelight for a while, lined up in a row and was reprimanded. Yin Zhongxin asked amusedly, "Is the scolding unpleasant?" How does it compare with Representative Li Xiuman? ”
Hearing him mention Li Xiuman, Tony was embarrassed. After all, it has only been long since he came out of S.M Company, and Li Xiuman's residual power is still there. He said no. Not to say it is not.
It was Jin Jidong who relieved the siege. "Alas, of course, it is Li Xiuman who represents the great. Foreigners scold, anyway, you can pretend not to understand, it doesn't matter. ”
Haha, listening to his words, the solemn atmosphere just now eased a little.
This trick is a common trick used by many people who are new to foreign countries, and it is very effective. Anyway, I'm not fluent in language, so I can't understand what you say. It doesn't take any time, and the swearing person will naturally stop. After all, it's a matter of playing the piano to the cow. It's boring enough.
"So since "The Cup of Life" became popular all over the world, has that person's attitude towards you changed?" Jin Jiula asked.
According to his understanding, Cui Zhengyuan is already a top star in Shijie, and naturally no one will dare to target him anymore.
A Korean artist who is alone. With his own efforts, he has gained wide recognition and respect. What an inspirational story that is in line with universal values, and telling it will surely increase the national pride of our compatriots.
It's a pity that Cui Zhengyuan is Cui Zhengyuan precisely because he never plays cards according to common sense. "Nope. After that collaboration, I fired her. We haven't seen each other since. ”
A group of people held their breath. Waiting for him to tell a touching story with tears in his eyes. As a result, this guy told the truth very calmly and coldly, so that everyone could suffocate to death.
Among them, Jin Jiula, who led the story, was the most depressed, and couldn't help but say the purpose. "How can you do that, shouldn't you work hard, wait until you get good results, and then let that person see your strength. Isn't it a great sense of accomplishment when he gives you a thumbs up? ”
"Yes, yes, what else can make Shijie's top stylists admire more haode results." Others also chimed in, dissatisfied with Choi Jung-won's answer.
Cui Zhengyuan once again showed him what domineering is. "I'm the boss, I paid her to serve me. weishenme wants me to see her face? If you are not satisfied, of course you will get out. ”
Zheng Hengdun was still unwilling, and asked: "Do you need to be so tough to be a boss?" Sounds so impersonal. If I can't satisfy you, will you also dismiss me? ”
Looking at this little chubby with no eyesight, Cui Zhengyuan didn't say a word, and looked at him with a wicked smile on his hands and chest.
Zheng Hengdun hurriedly stood up and bowed his head, "I'm sorry for the general manager, I will work hard in the future." ”
This guy didn't get up for a minute, and he directly revealed his original form. Everyone present despised him one after another, making Chubby's face flush. Desperately defended: "I'm just intoxicated by the charm of the general manager, and I feel that only by following the general manager can I have a haode future." What's wrong? Am I doing something wrong? ”
Even Cui Zhengyuan couldn't help it and kept babbling. "I'm tired of looking, I'm tired of looking, I can't help but beat me up when I look at it!"
As a result, because of his inadvertent words, Zheng Hengton's nickname of "disgusting" came out early. (To be continued......)
