My Entertainment Circle

In mid-May, Pani launched her solo singing career with her SOLO album. Pani, who holds the title of Girls' Generation, topped many Korean music charts on the day the album was released. It also topped the album charts in many countries. Pani has prepared and completed his first solo with utmost care, and the market will do the rest.

Zhang Pingan is very clear that although the results of Pani's comeback album are good, it is much worse than Taeyeon's "I". It's not that Pani can sing without Taeyeon. It may really be the reason for the song selection. Bar?

In fact, Zhang Pingan thinks that Pani's voice is not distinctive, because there are so many idols in the music industry who can sing better than Pani. She just takes advantage of the name "Girls' Generation" That’s all.

Because Zhang Ping'an has always felt that this kind of dance music model may sound good if you listen to it three or five times when it's new, but after listening to it too much, it doesn't sound that good anymore. Just like the playlist stored in the mobile phone, there were some hard songs and dance songs at the beginning, but the playlist has been listened to for a long time. Those high-pitched songs gradually became the ‘next song’ on the playlist, but the songs that everyone listened to the most were still only lyrical songs!

Today is Pani's first song after releasing her album, on Mnet's "M! CD". Zhang Pingan came to South Korea quietly on this day. Although Pani did not say that he hoped Zhang Pingan would come to his site to cheer after the release, Zhang Pingan felt that he should come. After all, the relationship between the two is already unclear, so there is no need for Zhang Pingan to avoid suspicion.

Incheon, Zhang Ping'an was dressed very low-key when he entered the customs, a white cotton casual shirt, because the daytime temperature in Seoul in May was already around 23 degrees. What if the temperature was higher than this under the sun. So Zhang Pingan rolled up his sleeves when wearing a casual shirt, and a new watch appeared on his wrist, the Richard Mille white ceramic RM030!

Of course, the price of this brand alone is very expensive. So when Zhang Pingan appeared with his sleeves rolled up, many reporters squatting at the airport gate began to take pictures of Zhang Pingan's watch. With a simple and refreshing early summer outfit, plus a super expensive watch, Zhang Pingan's fashion sense has also been praised by some magazines.

A white casual shirt, black casual pants, and a pair of luxury white shoes are indeed refreshing enough. And this kind of dressing fits Zhang Pingan's comfortable and handsome face. When he came out of the airport, he got directly into a nanny car that came to pick him up.

However, the car that came to pick up Zhang Ping'an was BTS's exclusive car, and they don't have that much time recently, because as soon as the album's title song "FIRE" was released in early May, it was on fire according to the beginning of the lyrics! Yes, the instantly popular BTS actually took the top spot on the US iTunes MV chart with this song!

It became popular, completely popular, because it reached the top in the United States, and the Korean media also appeared to praise BTS. Originally, before this song, BTS was only considered a second-tier boy band at best, but as soon as this song came out... it immediately set them on fire. And BTS has become very busy. They have to take care of overseas concerts, and at the same time they have to film group entertainment, and they also have to film singing shows!

Mamamu, won the first place in March with the song "You are the Perfect", and they also won the love of countless people. Then in May, BTS soared to the sky, and even had a tendency to compete with EXO and others. Because the number of registered fans every day is an increase of several thousand.

Well, maybe this number sounds childish to China. But the total population in South Korea is only 50 million.

At least half of the people out there don't really like male idols. Moreover, you need to pay a fee to register as an official fan. Of course, the benefits in the official cafe are not to mention, that is, you can go and cheer for BTS on the spot, which is also a kind of close contact.

The first half of the year in the Korean entertainment industry can be said to be a good year for Zhang Pingan. One "PD101", two TV series, and two groups under the company have also been loved by the public. Isn't this a good year? Although the half-year summary for June has not yet arrived, many media have already calculated that in the first half of the year, the total profit of Zhang Pingan's brokerage company exceeded at least 80 billion won! Yes at least!

There are two TV series, one is "The Signal" with high reputation and ratings, and the other is "Descendants of the Sun" which is making a lot of money, and the unlimited voting in the variety show "PD101" is also very profitable. Especially when the ratings of "Descendants" exceeded 30%, his investment in the TV series was repaid by product placement. You must know that this does not include advertising revenue and overseas copyrights from other broadcasts. income!

Therefore, many media feel that there is no exaggeration in calling the first half of this year "Zhang Pingan's first half".

.......

After coming out of the airport, Zhang Pingan didn't care too much about the media's interpretation of his fashionable clothes. He went directly to Mnet, because not only did Pani participate in singing today, but the children of Zhang Pingan's family also participated in singing. Moreover, Zhang Ping'an knows one thing, that is, although Pani's return has won one place on the music chart, her songs did not dominate the charts for too long.

Because the comeback time in May this year is too intense, not only BTS, but also the super powerful "Rabbit Gas" also made a comeback. The competition on the singing stage in May is really fierce, and Pani's personal number of fans is not as high as Taeyeon's. so..

Take the music chart as an example. Although Pani temporarily reached the top spot when it was released, it has not been able to top the list since then. After all, there are so many fans of BTS and BTS. However, Girls’ Generation fans’ support for Pani is not as strong as when they supported Taeyeon’s singing career!

The battle between fans is no joke. Anyway, it’s about comparing which family has more wealthy fans. After all, it’s a waste of money to compete in the rankings! However, Pani's personal fans are not as good as Taeyeon's, so she was squeezed out of this war in the music industry. Of course, in terms of audio downloads, Pani's album performance is not bad. At least it has ranked first in the iTunes album rankings in other countries!

And iTunes is a place to pay to listen to music!

Zhang Ping'an sat in the nanny's car and asked his agent: "The popularity of children has been growing very fast recently. I have even applied to join the official cafe. The number of fans is increasing day by day!"

The manager smiled and nodded and said: "Everything is due to you, the representative and the president. It is really not easy for the children to work hard and persist in their own music model until today."

Because all the agencies on the market think it is stupid to let idols stick to their own style. After all, the purpose of creating an artist is to make money. The fact that there was not much improvement once or twice shows that they may not be suitable for this style. So generally speaking, when a brokerage company discovers that it fails to start, it will immediately arrange to change its style.

After all, a management company is not a charity. If an artist's album fails, the loss will be huge. Money, time, and sweat!

However, both Zhang Pingan and Bang Si Hyuk insisted on letting BTS come out with their own style, even if they didn't make any money at the beginning, and even if the company made a huge loss for them to produce the album. But both of them believe that one day, they will succeed. I just didn’t expect that this year, it would finally catch fire!

Zhang Ping'an nodded and smiled and said: "May is very exciting. Many artists are scheduled to return in May. How about Tuvasi?"

The manager sighed and said: "It's really amazing. This time Tuvas has knocked down Pani from No. 1 on the music chart. Their fans are so powerful! There is no other girl group besides them. Among Girls' Generation, only I.O.I produced by President You can compete with them in terms of popularity. You know, "Girlfriend" is far behind Tuvasi, who only debuted a year ago! "

Rabbit Gas can be said to be the girl group that Park Jin Young’s company has put all their efforts into creating, because MISSA is already dead in name only. Now the company basically won't invest any resources in them. Of course, Pei Xiuzhi doesn't need the company's resources, because she is a resource in her own right! As for the other three members, they are basically invisible. Fei went to several episodes of Liu Jae Suk's show some time ago, but her personal effects are much worse than Cao Lu. Recently, she is unemployed!

When listening to the BTS manager excitedly talking about Rabbit Gas, Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "You are not a fan of Rabbit Gas, are you?"

"Hey!" The agent touched his nose awkwardly. It seems to be very common for agents to become fans of other companies, such as Hunter, who is actually a fan of Hong Beibei. A signed album by Hong Beibei that Zhang Pingan asked for some time ago was placed in his new home. When Li Zhien saw it, he asked for it directly, saying that he wanted to give it to Hunter.

Because Li Zhien knows that Zhang Pingan and Hong Beibei have a good relationship, and Zhang Pingan has expressed many times that among the new generation of girl groups, Hong Beibei is his personal favorite. So Li Zhien thought it was very simple for Zhang Pingan to want their signed album, and he asked Girls' Generation to get it.

The only way for Hunter to get Hong Beibei's signed album is to wait for Li Zhien and Hong Beibei to meet while singing. Because only then will Hong Beibei come to deliver signed albums!
