Korean entertainment star

Enter the United States!

This is probably the dream of every Asian singer, and Bae Soo-hun is no exception.

The song "one_time" itself was composed for Bae Soo-hun during her "cold war" with Jung Soo-yeon.

"One_time" was designated by Bae Soo-hoon as the title song in the second mini-album "Because of You". After its release, it achieved a series of achievements in just half a month, which even surprised him.

This year's song "one_time", plus last year's song "mine", two songs written and sung by Bae Soo-hun have already entered the "American Billboard Singles Chart". They are indeed considered to be minor hits in Europe and the United States.

He is famous now, probably as famous as second-tier singers in Europe and the United States.

Although Pei Xiuxun has a certain degree of confidence in his own creative ability, he knows that entering the American market is not that easy and simple.

Among the three major entertainment companies in South Korea, JYP was the first to be unable to bear the loneliness. Just because of the song "Nobody", Park Jin Young allowed Wondergirls to enter the American market early.

In March of this year, Wondergirls held several concerts in Los Angeles, New York, California and other places in the United States. Although the response was quite good, Bae Soo-hun learned the truth from Yang Hyun-suk. The current situation of Wondergirls in the United States is simply terrible.

.

Compared with Wondergirls, BoA, who also entered the US market this year and signed a contract with ACC, the largest agency in the US, is already very lucky.

Signing with Universal Music Group is an opportunity for Bae Soo-hun to enter the US market.

But opportunities are not equal to opportunities. The current situation can only show that by the time Bae Soo-hun, who is fully prepared in time, chooses to enter the United States, the road to publicity around the world has already been paved.

But then again, since signing with Universal Records, it’s amazing to be part of the same record company as Mariah Carey, Eminem, Black Eyed Peas and many other world-class superstars.

In fact, signing a contract with Universal Music Group put Pei Xiuxun under a lot of pressure for various reasons.

But what is "fortunate" is that in the relevant contract that Bae Soo-hun negotiated and signed with Universal Records, Universal Records did not require him to immediately release an English single or album, and there was not even any time limit.

In other words, whether Bae Soo-hun releases an English single or album and chooses to enter the United States is entirely up to him.

However, one condition in the negotiated contract is that Pei Xiuxun needs to compose two English songs every year and sell them to Universal Music. As for the price issue, of course, professional musicians need to be invited to evaluate and value the quality of the songs. In addition,

, if Bae Soo-hun writes English songs in the future, if he is willing to sell them, Universal Music Group will also have the first right to purchase them.

Before signing a contract with Universal Music, Bae Soo-hun was still wondering why Universal Music and Sony Music Entertainment would take the initiative to send him invitations to sign a contract.

However, when negotiating and signing the contract, Pei Xiuxun finally understood that whether it was Sony Music Entertainment or Universal Music, they probably valued his creative ability and creative potential in music.

What are the chances of an Asian singer successfully entering the U.S. market? In fact, Universal Music Group has little hope of Bae Soo-hoon entering the United States.

Two songs entering the "U.S. Billboard Singles Chart" and entering the United States cannot be confused at all. Because temporary results do not represent everything, and Bae Soo-hoon's "Mine" last year peaked at No. 72. This year's "One_Time" currently peaks at No. 28

Bit.

If it enters the top three of the "U.S. Billboard Singles Chart", perhaps Universal Music Group will reassess Bae Soo-hoon.

However, it is too difficult to be in the top three. Looking at the current upward trend of "one_time", it is estimated that it can squeeze into the top 20, which is the limit of "one_time".

Therefore, Pei Xiuxun's creative ability is fundamentally what Universal Music values ​​most.

However, since he was a child, Pei Xiuxun has been called a genius by his family and people around him, whether in studies or music. Although he is not proud of it, he is proud in his heart and refuses to admit defeat.

Pei Xiuxun's competitive spirit is probably not weaker than anyone else's.

Pei Xiuxun still remembers that when he first became a student of Bai Jianyu, even Bai Jianyu repeatedly praised his creative ability in music like a genius.

What is genius?

A genius is a person who solves a certain problem according to common sense and can solve it better and faster than ordinary people.

What is a ghost?

Ghosts are people who can find different solutions to the same problems and solve them better and faster than ordinary people.

The reason why Bae Soo-hun is called a genius for his musical creation ability is because he is different from ordinary composers.

Ordinary composers can usually create higher-quality songs when inspiration comes to them.

But even in ordinary times, as long as Pei Xiuxun calms down, he can force himself to compose a melody, and then gradually modify it into a finished song.

If he is willing, it is not impossible to compose ten songs a day.

The negotiation with Universal Music was successful and the contract was signed on the same day. The reason why he was so happy was actually that the arrogance in Bae Xiuxun's bones had been aroused.

Pei Xiuxun will not be afraid of entering the United States. He needs challenges and proofs, but he also needs some time!

Whether it’s entering the United States or challenging your acting skills!

When Bae Soo-hun signed a contract with Universal Music, and from the moment he signed his name on the contract, he made many decisions that he had been hesitating about.

Among the boy groups, there is Big Bang, whose popularity is only comparable to that of "Korean No. 1 group" TVXQ.

As for girl groups, 2ne1, which has just debuted and is already unstoppable, is another dark horse among girl groups!

In South Korea, Bae Soo-hoon's popularity is already high, even though he receives many advertising invitations on weekdays, it's just that none of them satisfied Kwon Jae-ho.

During the promotional activities for the second mini-album "I'm Here Because of You", various large-scale commercials came one after another. The number of commercials Bae Soo-hoon took on can only be described as soaring. Just the contracts that Kwon Jae-ho accepted

Just over 10.

Calculating, the advertising remuneration that Bae Soo-hoon received during his period was about 500 million to 1 billion won.

10 advertisements. This means that Bae Soo-hoon's income from advertisements alone is at least 500,000 won.

The terrifying income is simply the envy of others.
