Chapter 151: Rumors
After the show, Kim Sung-won quietly did an evening in front of the window, not only to remember, but also to recall and summarize what he has learned in the past three years.
From an inconspicuous regular guest to an auxiliary MC of the country's No. 1 ace show, it took him less than a year, and now looking back, it still feels a little illusory.
From a singer to a host, Kim Sung-won seems to have done this very easily, but no one can see the efforts behind it. analyze and learn the hosting characteristics of Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong, and Jin Jidong every day for this video; Then began to study the characteristics and preferences of the participating guests, so as to be funny and gain their favor at the same time, as an artist who has just transformed, Kim Sung-won must remain careful; After being able to master the rhythm proficiently, I began to study the audience's preferences and the direction of the program.
Kim Sung-won poured his heart and soul into this show, which can be said to be far more than Liu Zaishi and others, although hard work does not necessarily equal success, but it is an indispensable cornerstone of success, plus he has several years of stage experience, so he can successfully transform so quickly.
After a night of meditation, the changes in "X-MAN" flashed through his mind like a slide, and although Jin Shengyuan did not have the miracle of "great progress" in Chinese novels, he really had a little more insight into life.
Wisdom comes from life.
Not to mention the impact of the official suspension of "X-MAN", a large number of videos such as "X-MAN classic shots" and "X-MAN's best moments" have appeared on the Internet, and many loyal viewers who accompanied "X-MAN" to zuihou protested against the suspension of the program.
Many artists who came out of "X-MAN" also sent text messages to comfort Kim Sung-won and the three, and what made Kim Sung-won especially funny and touched was that Seo Joo-hyun called him to tell him that Hyo-yeon cried a lot about it.
As the most loyal viewer of "X-MAN", Kim Hyo-yeon's obsession with "X-MAN" is no less than Seo Joo-hyun's love for Frog Juncho, although he has not had time to watch it on time recently due to intensive training, but he will make up for it afterwards.
According to Seo Joo-hyun, when Hyo-yeon watched the "X-MAN" retrospective special, he cried so much that he used up a large roll of tissues.
It's just that none of this can change the fate of "X-MAN" going off the air, and the ratings are the weight that determines the fate of the show.
Just when the media was speculating about the next direction of Yoo Jae-seok, Jiang Hudong, and Kim Sung-won, Kim Sung-won and Kang Ho-dong had officially signed a contract with KBS TV to take over the variety show "Two Days and One Night" to be launched.
The purpose of the program is to spend two days and one night to experience the wild in real life, travel to all the beautiful places in the country, and bring real, funny, natural and intimate content to the audience.
Therefore, the name is directly taken from "two days and one night", which is simple and easy to remember.
The rest of the show's assistant MCs have also been confirmed, namely Kim Jong-min, Ein Ji-won, Ji Sang-yeol, Roh Hong-cheol, and Lee so-geun. Among them, Li Xiugen was specially promoted by Jiang Hudong in order to take care of him, and the program team was not optimistic about Li Xiugen's joining, Jiang Hudong proposed it many times, and with Jin Shengyuan's help, the program team reluctantly agreed.
The specific recording time of "Two Days and One Night" has been discussed and has not been announced to external media.
However, in mid-April, an incident broke out that had a deep impact on Jin Shengyuan, so that the program team had to temporarily consider his state - in the eyes of the PDs of the program team, Jin Shengyuan was the host personally arranged by Jiang Zhiyu, although he was indeed capable, but he seemed to have a very good background.
Bigbang's mini album sold a total of 330,000 copies in just six weeks, and the title song "Lies" has long dominated major music programs, and has been the top spot in the Korean cyworld digital music charts until now, and it is still on the trend of staying there for a long time.
When "Lies" continued to be popular, it seemed that overnight, countless plagiarism theories of "Lies" appeared on the Internet.
Some netizens pointed out that BigBang's "Lies" is no different from "SkyHigh" by the famous Japanese Shibuya singer Takeshi Hanchi, both in the prelude and the main melody.
There is also another daishidance P.I.A.N.O that they compared.
In addition, there are plagiarism theories about the lyrics. Some netizens reported that it was similar to Depcon's "heartbeat racing" lime.
It has even been pointed out that the interlude part performed on the show is similar to Justin's "MyLove".
Now, BIGBANG has become popular for half the world, but nearly two months later, the "plagiarism theory" suddenly emerged, and because of the popularity of the song "Lies", this scandal spread all over the Internet almost overnight, causing everyone to know. …,
Naturally, BIGBANG's fans were reluctant to give up on this remark, saying that ""Lies" and "SkyHigh" are similar only in the intro, but the songs after that are completely different, and "it's just that some people with ulterior motives are using plagiarism theory to ban BIGBANG......
And Jin Shengyuan once stated that the prelude to "Lies" was created by him, and naturally, countless dirty water was poured on him.
"It turns out that Jin Shengyuan has been silent for a year and is concentrating on 'learning' foreign music."
"What's the most shameful thing in the entertainment industry? Plagiarize! Let's hope some well-known music producers don't fool the populace with these things! ”
……
Naturally, Kim Sung-won's fans will not agree with this kind of slander, and they have made remarks on the Internet to attack those who walk the rumors.
Rumor spreaders, fans of BIGBANG, fans of Kim Sung-won, and onlookers turned the entire Internet into a muddy water, which indirectly contributed to the scandal to spread all over the streets and alleys in just a few days.
YG quickly responded to the scandal: "I didn't know that it would be nearly 2 months after the release of the weishenme album before such a ridiculous plagiarism rumor came out, but "Liar" is definitely Kwon Ji-ryong's original song, and there is no plagiarism or imitation of "SkyHigh". ”
In the face of this plagiarism scandal, a relevant person in the Korean music industry said after an investigation: ""Lies" and "SkyHigh" are only partially similar to the piano prelude, and the other melodies are completely different. ”
Obviously, the Korean music industry is already planning to support BIGBANG.
The rumor-mongers also seemed to realize that it was impossible to frame Bigbang again, and turned their heads and began to focus all their energy on Kim Sung-won, eager to dye him black with ink and hang him out for public display.
"If you apply all the limitations of popular music to all situations, then people who are in the popular music industry will not be able to do anything." In the face of the flood of criticism, Jin Shengyuan made such a statement very calmly, and then ignored the clamor of the outside world.
"Sister Zhenyun, make a statement on the official website and ask my fans not to pay attention to the rumors on the Internet." Kim Sung-won said to Park Jung-yoon that although he could ignore the clamor on the Internet, he couldn't care less about his fans.
"Really! Don't you know that you are angry? Park Jung-yoon was angry and said with a dissatisfied face.
"Being angry is nothing more than punishing yourself for what others have done wrong, so in the face of this kind of scandal, there is no need to be angry at all." Jin Shengyuan shook his head and said.
"But don't you care about these people's slander?" Park Jung-yoon didn't understand Kim Sung-won's mood very much.
"I don't want to stay out of the way, to make a detachment of 'the pure self-purifier is self-turbid', I just don't want to become as irrational as them, are you bitten by a mad dog, do you want to bite back?" Kim Sung-won explained.
"But ......," Park Jung-yoon continued.
"Don't worry, YG has already contacted daishiDance, the original creator of 'P.I.A.N.O.'." Jin Shengyuan said, "There is no evidence to follow on the Internet, so the best way is to solve the matter quickly." ”
Everything on the Internet is incredible, and with the argument that the prelude of "Lies" plagiarized "SkyHigh" is very loud, there are rumors that "Lies" and "SkyHigh" are plagiarized together.
A few days later, daishiDance made a statement through a domestic record label: "Although the order of the instruments and the overall atmosphere of the arrangement will feel similar, it is unconvincing to say that this is close to samoling's plagiarism."
The scandal on the Internet is like a rainstorm, it comes and goes quickly, and after the original author issued a statement, many wall-headed grasses instantly changed their stance in favor of domestic originality, and the rumor spreaders have long disappeared without a trace.
The whole thing was like a farce, with a sudden start and a funny end.
However, this incident is not without its benefits to BIGBANG, and after the scandal, not only BIGBANG's popularity exploded again, but also the sales of records rebounded again, ushering in a new high.
Perhaps in order to make amends afterwards or to make their stance clear, many media outlets praised BIGBANG, saying that "BIGBANG dominated the music scene in the first half of 2007 with the song "Lies".
After all the calculations, it seems that Jin Shengyuan is the only one who has suffered a loss in this scandal, but he has not received any benefits. Coupled with the suspension of "X-MAN", many people are worried about whether Kim Sung-won will fall silent again or collapse at all.
……
S.M Company, although it is training zuihou before his debut, Seo Joo-hyun and the others are still worried about Kim Sung-won and often call to inquire about his condition.
"Shengyuan OPPA won't be like 2006 anymore, right?" This is the most worrying problem of several little girls. Little did they know that Kim Sung-won's focus in 2006 was on the company and experimenting with a variety of musical styles.
"Why don't I call Brother Shengyuan again?" Even Xu Zhuxian, who has always been firm, was said to be unassertive by several sisters.
"Well, let's fight." Yuna said very firmly.
"Ahem!" Seo Joo-hyun had just taken out his phone from his backpack when Han Seung-ho suddenly appeared in the restaurant.
"Hello, Chief Han." Xu Zhuxian and the others hurriedly got up to greet them.
"Sit down." After Jin Shengyuan's scandal ended, Han Shenghao's spirit also grew, stretched out his hand to signal a few people to sit down, and then said to Xu Zhuxian: "Xiaoxian, you come with me." ”
"Haode, Head Han." Seo Joo-hyun handed her phone to Yoona and walked out.
Yuna and the others are all amused by Han Seung-ho's pretense and mystery, and here Park So-yeon and the newly joined Sunny don't know the relationship between Seo Joo-hyun and Kim Sung-won.
"Well, the matter of Shengyuan has subsided, everything is just someone deliberately spreading rumors," Han Shenghao said to Xu Zhuxian, "Also, the company is going to shoot a debut video for you in July, remember to tell Shengyuan." ”
