MTL - South Korean Entertainment Industry News Record-Chapter 605 changed and unchanged
EXID should be back!
As a girl group that has debuted for more than a year, it is just when they need exposure. It is normal to return twice a year, and it is also the acquiescence in the circle, so Xiaomin said confidently that they were a rookie girl group and should return twice a year. The next time, Zhang Che had nothing to say. Hyomin and the others were wrong in the period from the end of 2011 to the beginning of 2012. They had already reached the quasi-first-line status, and there was no end to their comeback. It was almost after the end of the comeback that they took a week off and came back again, which caused the public anger in the entertainment industry. , In addition to some other reasons, a small withdrawal incident developed into a "exclusion incident".
This is a bit far.
However, when Solzhi asked Zhang Che about their return plan, Zhang Che really had nothing to say. The main thing is that he is not in charge. These things have always been discussed by Li Cailin and Jin Ji. He and Li Haoyang also follow orders. They should write songs and write songs, and they should be responsible for making albums. They rarely ask about this. matter.
But Li Cailin didn't seem to have explained Zhang Che about EXID, so Zhang Che hesitated for a long time and still told the truth to Solzhi.
This is why Suizhi came to ask, and Zhang Che dared to tell the truth. If it was Hani who asked, Zhang Che would not say, one is too shameful, and the other is a veteran of the company, so he can better understand the situation. Hani came to think that Zhang Che was perfunctory to her.
There is another problem that is really not easy to handle. The return of these girls at the beginning of this year was a bit too much. Whether it was Hani Suizhi or the company, Zhang Che was afraid that these girls would not be popular and resources would be piled up. The members led by Hani also ran their schedules to promote their lives one by one, and the comeback at the beginning of the year can be said to be very successful.
So the question is, what songs should I write for them this comeback? How many resources can be used? Some favors are one-time use. It’s okay to use them once or twice.
In terms of songs, "Up and Down" is a Divine Comedy, the follow-up "AHYEAR" and "HOTPINK" can only be regarded as follow-up works, barely passing the line, and not yet reaching the height of another Divine Comedy. But that's about it.
Zhang Che remembered that it seemed to be like this in his previous life. After Suizhi and the others became popular, there was basically no work that could be produced. Li Haoyang also seemed to have encountered a bottleneck. Although a few girls tried their best to dance in the variety show, the effect was really not that good. The popularity declined year by year. Later, Sol Zhi was absent due to illness and returned.
Speaking of this...
"By the way, have you all gone to the physical examination arranged by the company recently?" Zhang Che asked suddenly.
Solzhi was very surprised at Zhang Che's ability to change topics. Didn't he just talk about the return of his group, why did he suddenly switch to the company's medical examination?
"No, we're so busy, we don't have time to go!" Although he didn't understand, Solji replied.
"Yeah, there's still time to be busy for another morning. This week, even if you all make time for me, I have to go to the medical examination, especially you!"
Suizhi didn't understand why Zhang Che suddenly pointed the finger at him, but considering that the physical examination was not a big deal, he nodded as an agreement, but urged Zhang Che to hurry up and make their plans for the second half of the year. focus.
After sending Solzhi away, Zhang Che did not delay, and went straight to the recording studio. It happened that Li Haoyang was holding back the song, and Zhang Che took advantage of the situation to discuss with him what to do with EXID's next album.
The two kept discussing until the evening, and finally decided to go down the general direction and continue the style of the last title song. After all, this style has been accepted by the public. For EXID at this stage, it is better to retain and consolidate the fan base and slowly develop. The kingly way, if you change your style easily, if it is not accepted by fans, the risk will be great.
In this way, the title song of the next album is either "AHYEAR" or "HOTPINK". This is basically not wrong. It depends on which one Li Haoyang takes out. Anyway, he wrote it.
What Zhang Che had to consider was how the promotion plan came about. He had used some contacts in the past, and it was no good to greet people to get into various variety shows to gain popularity, so he could only let Jin Jida go to major TV stations step by step. Fortunately, Hani's performance in variety shows was quite good before, and Hairen did a good job in "Tongue Wars". Relatively speaking, it is a bit simpler than the anonymous period. It's just a stage effect.
The itinerary should be put aside first, and the overall return plan should also be well designed. First of all, it is necessary to choose a good time. Don’t follow Suzhen and the others. You know it’s going to be bad, but you still bump it up. What to do during the return period of publicity, these need to be well planned.
Zhang Che regrets it a little now. The filming of the troupe is a little early. If it is delayed, it can be filmed or broadcast now to cooperate with the pre-return promotion, but this show started broadcasting on MBC music channel last week. It will be played for two months in total. Unless you return within this time period, it is basically useless, but from songwriting, choreography, practice to production completion, two months is too tight, although it is not impossible, But Zhang Che didn't want Suizhi and the others to be so tired, so don't get tired of hyperthyroidism again.
Write a little bit every day, and write a little bit every day, the return plan will be written in seven or eight, and when Li Cailin comes back, it is estimated that she will be able to directly review it, which makes Zhang Che feel particularly fulfilled.
Then, Zhang Che could not wait to slap himself twice, because he suddenly realized that he went to work with his mother, then took the initiative to clean up and do housework, and then waited for his mother to praise Xiaosen after get off work.
But no matter how you think about it, you still have to do it, just don't be so complacent.
During this period of time, Zhang Che received two very good news and one not-so-good news.
Let’s talk about the good news first. First of all, it’s Quan Baolan. This girl’s solo comeback is quite good. Although there is no one gain, it is very topical. It is really cute that this girl doesn’t play guitar on stage. , but Duzui sells cute, disgusting to a group of people, but also cute to turn over a group of people.
According to the pre-agreed plan, when Quan Baolan SBS returned to the stage, Liu Huaying went to the backstage. In addition to reminiscing about the old times with her sister Baolan, she also took a photo with the T-ara members who also "come to support". took a photo and then interacted a bit on social media.
This photo caused a bigger stir, at least on the surface it seemed to be quite harmonious, everyone gathered around Quan Baolan and giggle with a V-shaped smirk, but after all, this was the first time to gather eight people after the disintegration, although there was always some inconsistency. The sound of harmony is on the rise, but the overall response of the crown fans is quite good.
By the way, because of the negative reaction that was finally suppressed during that time, T-ara was not completely finished, and the second brother didn't have to break the jar, so Li Yalin didn't go solo, and that Xiaojiu named Danne didn't have the chance to join in. So after shaving Liu Huaying, T-ara is still a group of seven.
The second good thing is the change Zhang Che himself made.
After listening to Solji's "story", Zhang Che subconsciously increased his contact with Sunny, and asked Sunny to meet when he had time. It doesn't matter what he did, in short, he was firmly "entangling" Mr. Sunny, and he always felt that Sunny Your lord might be busy someday. If you really want to spend more time together, Zhang Che thinks he can cry to death.
This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the relationship with Mr. Sunny has obviously warmed up, and there is still a trace of the feeling of being a friend before. Now, Mr. Sunny is more and more like a girl in front of Zhang Che. The downside is that S.M quit. Sunny's manager even found Zhang Che privately and didn't dare to warn him, but he also gently reminded Zhang Che that it would be bad for him to be photographed like this, at least in the short term his affair with sunny is not suitable. exposure.
Zhang Che didn't even bother him, S.M wished everyone in Girls' Generation would stop falling in love, but is that possible? If you want to take care of it, take care of Lee Seung-gi and Lim Yoon-ah first, or Choi Soo-young and Jung Kyung-ho, these two are much more high-profile than them. Besides, sunny is so obedient and low-key, and the love ban is gone. If Li Xiuman uses his uncle's identity to manage Zhang Che, it's really hard to say anything.
Zhang Che didn't care, Sunny pretended to be stupid, so the two of them have been enjoying their little life recently. Just be careful, as long as you don't get stuck downstairs in the apartment like Ahn Jae Hyun and Ku Hye Sun, no one will suspect the two of them.
The only bad news is "Invincible Youth".
The ratings of "Invincible Youth" after Zhang Che's revision has dropped. The ratings of the previous version of the old version were still 12%, and the first episode of the new version suddenly dropped to 8%. Floating up to 9.6%, Zhang Che had the heart to jump off the building.
But what makes Zhang Che unhappy is that the online comments are overwhelmingly questioning Zhang Che's editing standards. They all say that such a big difference in editing style makes people uncomfortable, and there are no jokes, just watching a bunch of girls busy doing nothing interesting. such as.
Of the conscience, the editing of these two episodes was done by Luo Yingshi. Zhang Che provided the general direction, but the details were really made by Luo Yingshi, and Zhang Che didn't think there was any difference between this editing method and the "Flowers Series". , why is it that the ratings over there are breaking records one episode after another, and people say that they can't work on their own side?
As for the content of the show... Zhang Che said that he really didn't plan to change. The content of this show was not meant to be funny, but to relax.
But Zhang Che seems to have overlooked one point. The viewers of the show "Three Meals a Day" are basically office workers, so they can appreciate this variety show as a way to adjust, and most of the people who stay up late on Friday to watch variety shows are teenagers, and most of them are I am a fan of the eight girls, let them understand what is the adjustment under heavy pressure, and the relaxed rural life is simply playing the piano to the cow.
However, Zhang Che couldn't think of these for the time being. If he had calmed down before, he would have been able to analyze it. But recently, his mind has been on Mr. Sunny, so he didn't think about it at all, just thinking about what to do next time.
