Chapter 30 The Madness of "GEE"
January 6th, weather: overcast with light snow.
Park Zhenrong took WG and more than a dozen staff members on a plane to New York, USA. In his eyes, this was a journey of glory, and he would personally create a top girl group that would become famous all over the world. Recorded in the history of Korean entertainment, JYP will not only replace S.M as the most influential agency in Korea, but he himself will also have a historic status.
Everything is so beautiful, at least in imagination.
January 7, weather: cloudy to sunny.
Girls' Generation's first mini-album's title song "GEE" of the same name released a trailer. Coupled with the overwhelming publicity in the previous week, "GEE" immediately became synonymous with the current entertainment industry, and the trailer was also released immediately. The liveliness and cuteness of the nine girls spread throughout the small land of Korea.
At the same time, YouTube began to focus on promoting "GEE", so that the trailer of this song appeared in non-Korean areas for the first time. Even after arriving in the United States, Park Jinyoung, who was finalizing WG's U.S. trip with Lin Na-eun, also saw it. , but did not pay too much attention to it.
January 9, weather: sunny.
The album "GEE" was officially released and released to the public on its first day. The album's title song "GEE" received more than 4 million views on gomtv and more than 6 million views on YouTube on its first day.
In the MV, the nine girls from Girls' Generation used lively singing to perform the lovely performance of a girl who is just starting to fall in love and is overwhelmed, which made countless people fall in love with this song and the characters in this song at the first time. The cute girls, the unique rhythm of the repeated lyrics and the brisk melody of the chorus, let alone other places, in the land of Korea, I fell into the super toxicity of GEE for the first time.
For a time, the streets and alleys were filled with the tone of this song, GEE! GEE! GEE! It also seems to have become the most familiar word in everyone's ears. For a moment, it seems as if the era of "nobody" a few months ago has returned, crazy and fanatical!
January 16, weather: sunny.
The record of "GEE" has been officially on sale for a week, and HANTEO has also announced its weekly sales: 57,000 copies.
In 'Real Future', the first-week sales of this record were only 24,000. But this time, because of Luo Junning's intervention, the sales of this record more than doubled, and among them, there are Many orders from China and Japan are not included in the calculation.
Such achievements have also plunged everyone at Infinite Production into a carnival, even though Girls' Generation is not actually a Infinite Production girl group.
Zheng Yunzhe was also quite happy at this time. Even though he looked sore when filming the MV for "GEE", when he learned that the MV for this song had become popular even in the United States, his face became happy. It’s blossoming. For this director who cares about reputation, as long as he has enough fame, shooting a MV is not a shameful thing. Now he can return the ridicule of his colleagues before: You have been making movies. , can your movies become popular in the United States? My MV can!
However, the atmosphere in S.M, which should have been happier for this, was quite awkward.
Lee Soo Man had a dark face and almost slapped the table at Kim Young Min: "President Kim, you said you can't take back the operating rights of Girls' Generation from Na Junning XI? Do you know how valuable Girls' Generation is now? You actually dared to give up the operating rights of Girls’ Generation, you were harming the interests of the company!”
"Senior, you didn't object to this at the beginning. What's more, didn't you suggest me to give up Girls' Generation and launch a new girl group two months ago?" Although Jin Yingmin was also very unhappy, he just said He called Luo Junning and tactfully expressed his desire to take back the operating rights of Girls' Generation. However, Luo Junning hung up the phone without even replying, which made him extremely frustrated.
More importantly, he has no way to deal with Luo Junning. You must know that when he signed the agreement with Luo Junning, the breach of contract clause was definitely not something he can bear now.
Now Li Xiuman is questioning himself again?
&nbWho is the elite who graduated from the business school? Lee Soo Man plays the trick of getting up early to see the profit better than Kim Young Min!
Although he was dissatisfied with Li Xiuman in his heart, Jin Yingmin would not be stupid enough to show it, otherwise a label of disrespect for his seniors would be enough to make him lose a lot of people's hearts. The signed contract, the new girl group planning project that Lee Soo Man kindly gave him a few months ago, and the list of candidates for the new girl group selection were handed over.
Li Xiuman twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at the seal stamped by Jin Yingmin in the name of S.M Company on the contract. She wanted to take the opportunity to teach this increasingly disobedient junior a lesson, but after seeing the two documents at the back, she finally gave up.
“Senior, our company is not losing money, is it? No matter how popular or powerful Girls’ Generation is, it is still our company’s girl group. Whether Luo Junning XI makes Girls’ Generation a national girl group or a global girl group, as long as the contracts of Girls’ Generation and the remaining members are in our hands, He is just helping us make money. In fact, the better Girls' Generation is, the more we benefit. After all, most of the operating pressure is on Infinite Production. We save a lot of publicity and planning costs. Just like this time, look at Girls' Generation's early publicity plan. The promotional cooperation with YouTube alone costs hundreds of billions of won, and these are all borne by Infinite Production. We just made some efforts on our own channels. Compared with the cost and benefits, it can be completely ignored. Isn't this great? "Kim Young-min talked more and more smoothly. Seeing that Lee Soo-man looked like he was persuaded, he suddenly grinned and said, "The only trouble is that we want to use the popularity of Girls' Generation to promote other artists in the company, especially boy groups. There is basically no hope for gossip strategies. After all, you know Luo Junning XI's temper. "
Lee Soo-man's face darkened again. Looking at Kim Young-min's respectful face and "I'm doing this for your own good" expression, he almost couldn't help but slap him.
What about gossip strategy, isn't it just a hint of his previous small actions against Girls' Generation, slapping Lee Soo-man in the face?
And the promotional expenses of YouTube, outsiders may not know, but Lee Soo Man must be aware that YouTube has long been in Luo Junning's hands, these hundreds of billions of won are just in his left pocket and in his right pocket, okay? ! ! ! ) Download the free reader!!
