My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 866: The great melee in the music industry in May (Part 2)

For BTS, Zhang Ping'an completely left it to Bang Si Hyuk, because he knew their development trajectory, so he didn't need to interfere at all and they would develop well. Now is the beginning of their explosion! Zhang Ping'an's investment also began to bear fruit on them. And in the future, they will surpass many Korean boy groups!

Zhang Pingan smiled and patted the captain on the shoulder as a kind of encouragement to the children he led. Then Zhang Pingan looked at the children and said: "Children, after I heard that you won the MV list in the United States, I have already contacted the Rolex manufacturer to customize a watch for you. Do you still remember my promise to you? When you stand on the stage in Hollywood, I will give each of you a Rolex. , so that you don’t stare at my watch every time I come here!”

Jin Nanjun is an artist who prefers watches. He smiled and said to Zhang Ping'an: "Brother, which model is the Richard this time?"

Zhang Ping'an took off his white ceramic and gave it to the children to try. The maknae took the watch and looked around and said: "Every time I see the appearance of this watch, I find it very strange. It feels like an electronic piece." It looks like a sports watch, why is it so expensive?”

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "It's because he broke the traditional watch material, and the craftsmanship is not inferior to those century-old brands. In the past, when positioning luxury watches, the materials of the watches were all precious metals. The watch's The weight is much heavier than this one. Well, it’s a matter of opinion! Whether it’s worth it or not, I can’t tell! After all, the price of some watches is higher than that of luxury cars on the market.”

At this moment, there was a chirping sound at the door of the BTS waiting room. The people at the door seemed to be saying something, but they did not dare to enter the room. Zhang Ping'an guessed whether there was someone new coming to visit BTS?

At this moment, the door was ajar, and after two knocks, the person outside poked half of his head in and looked into the room. Zhang Pingan also turned to look at the door, and saw Zhou Xiaoqiong at the door with a silly smile and greeted Zhang Pingan: "PD Zhang!"

When Zhou Xiaoqiong and Zhang Pingan greeted them, the door to the waiting room had already been opened. Standing at the door were the members of I.O.I... Zhang Pingan smiled at them at the door and said, "Well, I also said that you will come to me later. Where is the waiting room? Why, are you here to visit senior?"

When Zhang Ping'an was looking at the computer room layout backstage earlier, he saw the name I.O.I among today's performers. Zhang Ping'an thought he would go later, but he didn't expect that they would already come to the door at this time.

Zhou Xiaoqiong said to Zhang Pingan: "We have already visited the BTS seniors. We just heard that PD you came backstage, so we came over. I hope you can come and sit in our waiting room."

Speaking of IOI,

It can be regarded as half of Zhang Ping'an's child, or at most half. After all, he is the chief producer of this show, and their birth was also conceived by Zhang Pingan.

Facing IOI's invitation at this time, Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded, and then said to the BTS children: "You should prepare well, I will come over!"

May is indeed a very difficult month. There were so many great singers at the scene today. No wonder Pani didn't win a spot in the music program. Because the fans of this rising star are more willing to spend money than the others! You must know that idols’ achievements are all made possible by fans’ money.

.......

After the IOI waiting room was pushed open, the children who were sitting scattered here and there all quickly got up from their chairs when they saw Zhang Pingan coming in. Then they all stood in front of Zhang Pingan and stood up. Du bowed and greeted: "Hello PD Zhang, we are IOI, please take good care of us in the future!"

There are more than ten people from IOI together, their voices are very loud, and their greetings are full of excitement. After all, Zhang Pingan has not been to the filming set since March, and they still respect Zhang Pingan very much. Because in the early stages of the program, Zhang Pingan gave them a lot of encouragement and comfort.

After all, everyone was very sensitive when we first started recording.

After their greetings, Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "Well, hello. Although I didn't watch you on the show, I saw your performance. Congratulations on your debut!"

"Thank you, PD Zhang." After the children thanked them, their manager came over and said to Zhang Pingan: "PD Zhang, can you say a few words to the children?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "What can I say? They all went through the toughest competition before debuting. Although the starting point of the 'National Girl Group' is very high, you must also learn to express yourself. And There should be a lot of invitations to your programs during this period, so how to express yourself well in the programs is the key! Because IOI is a temporary group, you will definitely have your own destiny in the future, and it is you at this time. It’s a good time to build up your popularity!”

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Well, it seems to be a bit much. You can digest the rest by yourself. Anyway, our program team has set up a platform for you, and you have to make good use of it. In the future, I I believe you can achieve better results. You are IOI, the national girl group!”

Zhang Pingan's words can be said to be very straightforward. In the show, they have all gone through a brutal battle for survival, so don't think that because they are young, they really don't understand anything. In fact, no one present was innocent, so they themselves should know what Zhang Ping meant.

When Zhang Pingan's words fell, IOI applauded: "Thank you PD Zhang, we will work harder in the future."

Zhang Pingan smiled and nodded, then circled around the IOI children again and said to them: "Okay, get ready. Bringing a better stage to your fans is the greatest thing you can give. It pays off. I know it’s hard for you who just debuted, but this hard work represents your popularity, so you should cherish such busy moments, so don’t complain if you are tired!”

Many artists only understand after many years that whether they are busy or tired, it means they have work, which is something to be grateful for. If it is not busy, it means that the popularity has disappeared. After all, the Korean entertainment industry is changing very quickly, so making money is something that deserves to be thanked, not complained about.

Zhang Ping'an heard many of these things "a long time ago" and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to unknown people who were suddenly invited to the show. Especially for idols, the popularity bubble will dissipate very quickly. For example, 'Kangin', who was at the height of his popularity with SUJU, has now disappeared into history.

Even "TVXQ", which was very popular in Japan and South Korea, now Yunho goes to the streets and asks high school students if they recognize him, and the response is that he doesn't. (Yunho tested it himself when he participated in "Please Give Me a Meal Show".)

So popularity is very illusory. You may have been extremely popular in the first ten years, but after ten years, very few people will recognize you. The fans who cheered for their idols at first may have formed their own families ten years later. Chasing stars has become a thing of the past, and now everyone is busy working hard for their own ‘home’.

"We understand, thank you PD Zhang."

After they thanked them, Zhang Pingan said to the children: "Get ready, Zhou Xiaoqiong, come out with me."

Zhou Xiaoqiong nodded and followed Zhang Pingan to the outside of the waiting room. Zhang Pingan immediately turned into Chinese and said to Zhou Xiaoqiong: "What are the arrangements for the company here?"

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xiaoqiong tilted her head and looked at Zhang Ping'an and said: "There are no special arrangements. I have had very little communication with the company recently. Na Rong Oni should know something about it, right? All I want to do is do a good job in IOI The work inside has built up my popularity.”

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Well, I mean the same thing, because the platform given to you is very good. To put it bluntly, your group will not be together for too long. So even if you have made your debut now, you will have mutual respect for each other." There is also invisible competition, such as Zheng Caiyan, who is often compared to you by the media, so this competitive relationship will continue. And recently, I think your company has been preparing for a girl group... after all. There are two members in your company this time. You two will lead the team...but, hey, your company~~"

Speaking of their company, Zhang Ping'an could only shake his head. Obviously, Zhou Xiaoqiong and her group have developed very well in the future, but Han Chengzhu refused to send them an album. Of course, it’s only the members of the group who suffer. As for Zhou Xiaoqiong, she has developed quite well after returning to China. After all, Zhou Xiaoqiong is a traffic star in China!

And good looks will become a standard feature in China's entertainment industry in the future. As for your acting and singing abilities, you can fake them! You know, in China, actors who can only stare can get sky-high salaries, but singers who are obviously plagiarists are loved by the public? This is weird enough! After all, China’s entertainment industry is dominated by good looks!

Don't look at acting skills, don't look at strength, just look at looks! Yes, in China, as long as you have good looks and figure, and have the capital to operate behind it, you can become the brightest star.

When Zhang Pingan started to sigh when talking about their company. Zhou Xiaoqiong immediately asked: "What happened to our company?"

"It's nothing, it's just that your president... has something wrong with his head. Forget it, let's leave it like that. If you are really not satisfied with the future, then go back to China. You also know that our relationship has been very tense recently! I may put it like this next year. The focus is back on China!”
