Chapter 683: Photo Album

After a few days of turmoil, TVXQ's incident was temporarily suppressed, and S.M had not completely lost control. Although there are still many people on the Internet spreading the news that TVXQ is about to disband, under the joint statement of S.M and TVXQ, many people only regard this as a lie.

The entertainment industry is calm again. However, to many well-intentioned people, this is more like the calm before the storm. Because this time it's not just a rumor, I don't know how many people are staring at TVXQ behind it.

Thankfully, S.M's reputation as Korea's No. 1 Entertainment Company is not for nothing, dissuading almost all of them from trying to profit from it. If TVXQ is disbanded, it is conceivable that the players who quit will inevitably be frantically suppressed and retaliated against by S.M.

For TVXQ fans, this is a strange incident, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the fake, and even think that it is just hype and malicious slander, and after the statement of S.M, they are relieved of their hearts.

In their view, with the huge 800,000 fanclub members as their backing, S.M could not let TVXQ dissolve anyway.

……

In any case, the first outbreak of TVXQ's dissolution was finally suppressed. Many artists don't have time to think about this kind of time, and they are tired and busy with their own things every day.

The entire entertainment industry is like a big stage, every artist works hard to be able to stand on the stage, and not working hard often means being eliminated. Sometimes. Many fans will feel distressed when they look at the artists, one by one they are like clockwork dolls, and they don't even have enough time to sleep.

Among them, Jin Shengyuan is undoubtedly a special case. Although his announcements are sometimes busy, he is in charge after all, and he does not have much external pressure and psychological pressure, and occasionally he can be lazy...... It's enviable to think about. Nowadays, many artists in the entertainment industry regard him as their life goal. It is a very happy thing to be able to work hard for your ideals and interests, instead of working hard to make money.

Of course, Jin Shengyuan's "laziness" is only the evaluation of him by the outside world. He never thinks that he is lazy, but most artists are "laborers", but he is "laborious".

……

Because this return to the stage is Choi Hyun-jun's first time as president, Kim Sung-won is very serious. Music programs, performances, variety shows, ...... Basically, as long as the other party's grade is not too low, he will participate.

And the corporate side. also cooperated with Jin Shengyuan's propaganda this time to make a big move. The main thing is the operation of peripheral products, including T-shirts, LED lights, socks, hats, sunglasses, etc., which once made up for these one-time mistakes that Kim Sung-won had missed.

Such a large-scale action, of course, cannot be released all at once, and needs to be carried out gradually in time periods, but even so, Jin Shengyuan's company's behavior is also laughed at by many people as "money grabbing".

In order to be able to make fans feel that it is worth the money. Kim Sung-won naturally has to work hard to carry out public performances, fan signing meetings, fan meetings and other activities. And he will inevitably wear these items in all kinds of activities.

Those who make jokes with half-truths. Apparently underestimating Kim Sung-won's influence, while also forgetting that his fans have always been known for their strong purchasing power. There is also the market demand in this area - JSY only has two or three activities to release peripheral products, and the number and variety are not much, so that many fans want to psychologically try to get close to their idols.

Nowadays, the company already has a professional planning team, publicity team and other relatively professional staff, in the sales of peripheral films, naturally have their own marketing strategies, such as naming products after Jin Shengyuan, adding Jin Shengyuan's autograph to the product, and adding tickets for Jin Shengyuan's fan meeting in product sales...... It's all old-fashioned, but it's the most practical. …,

The sales of the first batch of merchandise included sunglasses, hats, and photo albums, which were launched in parallel with the return of Kim Sung-won. So far, there is no way for outsiders to know the specific sales of the three products, but they know that JSY has reprinted the photo album twice! Sales are in full swing!

This photo album can be said to represent the growth process of Kim Sung-won, the youth and shortness when he debuted in 98, the tenacity and growth during his service, the old-fashioned and steady when he returned to "X-MAN", and the high-spirited in 2008.

The photo album features sky blue as the main cover color, and contains a total of 200 pictures of Kim Sung-won, as well as a mood diary written by Kim Sung-won during his service - as we all know, two years of service is a transition period for Kim Sung-won's rebirth, and his fans are not the only ones who are curious about it.

The old photos were all selected by Zhao Zhenya from Kim Sung-won's album, which is very representative. Among them, when he first debuted in 98, Jin Shengyuan, who was only one meter tall and in his early sevens, pursed his mouth and strained his face with a serious but youthful photo like "accepting a national task", which was called a must-collect memory by all fans!

For a long time, Kim Sung-won rarely talked about his activities during the S.M company, and he was almost unknown to the public during that period, and it was difficult to find out among the artists, and fans were not very interested. But! Today, when Jin Shengyuan has become famous, especially under the strong contrast of his perfect figure and temperament, his youthful photos in that period have become irreplaceable classics! even set off a craze on the Internet to search for Jin Shengyuan's previous youthful photos!

There is also a photo of Kim Sung-won when he was in the army, standing with his arms outstretched and looking down on the highest peak of Dokdo. In the photo, the torrential rain was raging, and his body was completely soaked. At this time, Jin Shengyuan is already 1.8 meters tall, with bronzed skin, his figure is like a sculpture, especially the soaked vest perfectly outlines the lines of his upper body, and he is rated as a favorite photo by fans.

However, the essence of this photo is not Jin Shengyuan's figure, but the look in his slightly squinted eyes, like an eagle, which makes people can't help but burst into ambition at the sight of it!

As for the mood diary written by Jin Shengyuan during his service, it is the main motivation for everyone to buy it!

Because of the significance of this photo album and because of many people's curiosity about Jin Shengyuan's development process, the popularity of this photo album not only shocked outsiders, but also shocked even the insiders of JSY!

Yes, shocking!

On June 7th, Kim Sung-won returned to the stage, and this set of half-diary and half-photo albums called "Kim Sungwon Story" also officially entered the market.

In the beginning, there were fans lining up outside designated sales stores in various cities, but they didn't attract much attention. This situation is normal, and many popular artists will encounter this situation when their photos are released.

However, after a week, instead of decreasing, the number of people queuing up to buy a photo album has become more and more numerous. At this time, it was the first time that JSY had printed a photo album - fortunately, it had already been prepared for this.

Then, it officially set off a sales frenzy of this photo album! Not only Jin Shengyuan's fans, but also many characters who seem to be passers-by have joined the ranks of purchases - those who don't know think that a certain shopping mall is holding a promotional event!

After that, JSY carried out a second reprinting, which "preliminarily" met the needs of the market.

Generally speaking, it takes a lot of money to shoot a photo album, from the costumes, styling and location selection during production, to the expensive coated paper and high-definition color printing. However, because Kim Sung-won has his own fashion magazine, photographer, and clothing, the cost has been greatly reduced. …,

Even so, the price of this photo book is not very low, at 18,000 won per copy - the equivalent of a large plate of Andong sauce chicken for two people.

The initial print run and the price per copy were made after careful discussion between Choi Hyun-joon and Park Jung-yoon and the staff. However, when this set of photo albums set off a frenzy throughout South Korea, they realized that they were too conservative in their estimates!

The initial printing of 200,000 copies - did you want to feed the elephants with ant rations?

The first printing of 300,000 copies - not enough!

A second printing of 700,000 copies - barely meeting market demand.

When it was reprinted for the first time, Choi Hyun-joon and Park Jung-yoon were ecstatic, only to feel that "I didn't expect that Shengyuan's appeal was already so strong"!

When the sales department proposed to print the number of "700,000 copies" for the second time, Choi Hyun-jun and Park Jung-yoon stared at the sales department manager for dozens of seconds.

However, there was always a sentence hovering in the minds of the two: "What is the situation?" Is the market already so crazy? ”

The first time 300,000 copies were printed, both of them could understand, but the second time it was necessary to print 700,000 copies at one time! It's not that they're crazy, it's just that the market is crazy!

Until the evening of the same day, after Choi Hyun-joon and Park Jung-yoon confirmed that the two of them were not crazy, they directly found Kim Sung-won and Han Ji-min and strongly asked Kim Sung-won to arrange a photo book signing event! And it must not just be once or twice!

After Han Jimin learned the reason, he stared at Jin Shengyuan for a full minute with a gaze like a prehistoric monster! This guy is just a head and two hands, weishenme will be biased, biased...... She doesn't know how to describe Jin Shengyuan anymore! I just don't think this guy should be classified as an "ordinary person".

For this request, Jin Shengyuan himself naturally would not refuse, but he far underestimated the enthusiasm of the people this time! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
