Chapter 637: Social Topics
In one day, the MV of the song "It's Raining" reached nearly 5 million views!
It was a miracle in the Korean music industry to achieve such a result in just one day. The simple, rustic music video seems to be able to touch the weakest area of the human heart, called "moving".
"Korea's Most Touching MV!" The next day, many media outlets did not hesitate to crown this MV with this honor.
In the advance promotion, many topics such as Kim Sung-won personally directing and Han Hyo-joo starring are one of the reasons for attracting the attention of a wide range of fans. And their word-of-mouth and unanimous affirmation have attracted more widespread popularity for this MV.
In just one day, this MV has topped the list of major search websites and has become the highest topic at the moment. What is especially surprising is that this music video is actually more popular than the song itself! It's common for dances to be more famous than the songs themselves, but there aren't really many MVs that are more famous than songs. Especially this is a song written and sung by Kim Sung-won himself.
Even, Kim Sung-won himself was overshadowed by the topicality of this MV.
Just three days later, a round of "anti-domestic violence" propaganda activities was launched in the society, and many people even took to the streets to march.
Although parades are common in Korea, the parade triggered by a music video is incredible.
But that's just the way it is!
The topic in society is "anti-domestic violence", but the center of the topic in the entertainment industry is Kim Sung-won! What the hell can't this guy do? How can he do everything with God's help? Although he is the director of the MV. But that's also the director!
Being able to make a work that resonates with society is something that every director dreams of, and it was so easily done by this guy who directed for the first time? Until now, there are still many people who can't believe it.
There are no tricks to be made of this! Although many veteran directors have pantothenic acid in their mouths, they also have to express their praise and affirmation of Jin Shengyuan's talent!
"There is such a person on this shijie: who looks better than you, studies better than you, and has more money than you...... In short, born to fight people! Jin Shengyuan belongs to this kind of person. This is a ridicule of Jin Shengyuan on the Internet.
Look at Jin Shengyuan's series of identities, envy and jealousy, right? Who would have thought that before the age of 22. He's just a guy with no broker, no agency, no car...... 's down-and-out little artist.
If he had a background and a relationship, if he achieved Jin Shengyuan's current achievements, there might be many people who would be jealous and smear him, but everything about Jin Shengyuan was made by himself with his own hard work. Although there are reasons for luck, it is also a person's ability to grasp opportunities!
Even in the entertainment industry where the "water" is very deep, there are very few people who maliciously anti Jin Shengyuan behind their backs because of jealousy. Real strength. It's always easier to get recognized.
The day after the MV was released, Choi Hyun-joon, as the president of the company, issued a statement saying: "The income of Kim Sung-won's song "It's Raining". All will be donated to poor areas. ”
Some people say that Kim Sung-won put on a show. But even when someone announced on the Internet that Kim Sung-won had donated several times in early 2009, his donation to education in poor areas was as high as 100 million won! Immediately left these people speechless. This news was not reported by any media in advance, and this kind of issue related to Jin Shengyuan's reputation is obviously impossible to fake.
The South Korean government has regarded Kim Sung-won as a "national treasure", set him up as a model of Korean artists, and encouraged South Korean people to create wealth with their own hands and get rid of the economic crisis; Encourage artists to start a side hustle; Encourage the wealthy to pay more attention to philanthropy...... In a word. In this regard, the government is better than anything else.
And the popularity of the song "It's Raining" is inferior to the MV. But it is also not to be underestimated, and the day after its release, 2NE1's "Fire" was squeezed out of the music website!
"Hey-" Yang Xianshuo saw it. I can only shake my head and sigh softly. He knows that the song "Fire" basically doesn't need to count on one of the major music websites! I didn't see M having to succumb to reality and "arrange" the song "It's Raining" at the top of the list! You must know that "GEE" created by Kim Sung-won was released for a month before it entered the M hit song chart. …,
To be honest, the song "It's Raining" isn't necessarily more popular than "Fire"! But who made this song have such an anti-heaven MV? Just as a powerful singer in the music industry may not be popular, although "Fire" has the potential of "Divine Comedy", but in the face of such a MV that has aroused a wide range of social topics, it can only obediently back down.
Moreover, I don't know if it was from Kim Sung-won's gesture, or Choi Hyun-joon's own style of acting, his sentence "All the song income is donated" has drawn another halo for this song.
"Harmony" has been occupied by the song "It's Raining", what else does "Fire" use to fight with it?
"Jin Shengyuan, Jin Shengyuan!" Yang Hyun-seok is admired, jealous, and has a lot of resentment.
……
"Shengyuan, is it okay to do this?" When the MV for "It's Raining" was just released, Choi Hyun-joon and others were amazed by Kim Sung-won's decision.
It's very simple, generally speaking, when a singer releases an album, the first thing announced is usually the title song, but the song "It's Raining" is not the title song of Kim Sungwon's album!
Jin Shengyuan also knew that purely from the perspective of the popularity of the song, the song "It's Raining" was not suitable, so he chose another song "Aiqing Rain" as the title song.
This is nothing, but with the help of the scandal with Han Hyo-joo, he launched the song "It's Raining", and he has achieved incredible results!
Even Kim Sung-won himself was amazed by the impact of the song's MV.
Now, every time he participates in the show, he is asked questions about this MV, such as "how did you make such a MV", "The first work he directed is so good, what is the secret" and so on.
What is the secret of Jin Shengyuan? When he first filmed this MV, he didn't have any superfluous thoughts at all, and he didn't expect to get much praise, he just asked Han Hyo-joo and others to express what they thought completely.
Regarding everyone's almost all the honor on him, although Kim Sung-won was a little proud, he was very self-aware and praised Han Hyo-joo and Wang Xixuan every time, and attributed the credit to them.
It's not that he's pretending to be humble, but he knows how his director Jishu is, if he gets the title of such a "genius director", will his next work be filmed?
Clap? Obviously, there is a 99.9% chance that the next work will not be able to achieve the results of this work.
Don't shoot? It's clear that this doesn't fit his character.
When he saw that some of his fans on the Internet had already begun to "expect" the first film he directed, Kim Sung-won had to become more humble! Although the fan's expectation is haode, it must also be within his ability. Directing a movie? He doesn't have the strength yet!
Because of the impact of the MV of the song "It's Raining", Kim Sung-won had to postpone the release time of the MV for the first title song "Aiqing Rain", and even the release time of the album had to be postponed slightly.
Although Jin Shengyuan seems to be leisurely, he occasionally goes out to play football, but that is because his teacher Zheng Zhuyuan is "making cattle and horses" for him (Zheng Zhuyuan's original words)! In his new album, only the three songs "Aiqing Rain", "It's Raining", and "Only You" were produced by him himself, and the other songs collected from the outside world were all produced by Zheng Zhuyuan's studio, which is why they were completed so quickly.
However, because he didn't reveal anything to the outside world beforehand, the sudden release of the song "It's Raining" caused a small turmoil in the music industry.
Everyone thought that during this time, Jin Shengyuan focused on the production of TV series and movies, but they didn't expect that he would quietly complete the production of an album.
Moreover, judging from the impact caused by the MV of the song "It's Raining", it is impossible for Kim Sung-won's album to fail!
Remorseful, rejoicing, secretly cursing behind their backs...... In the world of songs, there are all kinds of reactions. No artist wants to "crash" with someone like Kim Sung-won! It's not surprising to think of the fact that last year he forced down the hits of singers such as Lee Hyo-ri and Bigbang. …,
The reactions of the people around Jin Shengyuan are also diverse.
Kim Tae-hee, Moon Geun-young and others ridiculed him as a "big director"; Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong and others had the attitude of wanting to slice him and study him; Taeyeon and others accused him of being immoral and chose to release an album at a similar time period with them.
In short, he has become a man of the hour again!
……
On May 16, Kim Sung-won was practicing in the practice room for his upcoming return to the stage, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Sister Zhiying, hello." Kim Sung-won glanced at the caller ID, it was Baek Ji-young.
"Shengyuan, hello." Baek Ji-young said, "When are you going to return to the stage?" ”
"It's going to take a while." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile, this is already a well-known topic in the entertainment industry.
After chatting with Jin Shengyuan for a few words, Bai Zhiying said, "Shengyuan, can I ask you a favor?" ”
"Sister Zhiying, what's the matter?" Jin Shengyuan asked, the promises he made would basically come true, so he would not easily boast about Haikou before confirming the other party's affairs.
"That's right, I'm working on a new album, but I'm missing a title track." Bai Zhiying said a little embarrassed, "So, I want to ask Shengyuan to help me write a song." Of course, if you don't have the energy, forget it. (To be continued) RQ
