Chapter 402: Sales and Repercussions
In 2004, South Korea had three platinum albums that topped the list.
The first platinum album was Rain's "It's-Raining", which was released on October 8 and is the third album of South Korea's new king Rain.
It is worth mentioning that in the near future, that is, at the end of January 2005, Rain will have his first solo concert, which is believed to attract a large number of fans to cheer him on and promote the sales of the album again.
The second platinum album is Brand-New, which was released on August 27 and is the seventh album of Mythic Band, which is completely different from the first six albums.
The third platinum album is TVXQ's "Tri-Angle", which was released on October 13.
TVXQ, a new force in South Korea, released three single records and a full-fledged album in 2004, which shows that their popularity is really skyrocketing.
Among them, the album "Tri-angle" has been hailed as a classic by fans, and the title song "Tri-Angle" is adapted from Mozart's Symphony No. 40, which was produced and recorded by Yu Yongzhen, the royal music producer of S.M Entertainment, and the company's BOA and The-Trax also joined the harmony of the song.
From January 1st to January 7th, the media and the public continued to compare Jin Jingcheng's first official album "Night Paradise" with these three platinum albums in 2004, and the trend after the comparison made many people a little unbelievable.
Because the sales of "Night Paradise" in one week actually exceeded the sales data of Rain's "It's-Raining" in 22 days in October. The first day sales and first week sales of the two albums of "Brand-New" and TVXQ's "Tri-Angle" are also much worse than those of "Night Paradise".
Because Kim is a solo male singer, the media and the public compare him more with Rain, and according to the hot sales trend of "Nightheaven", Rain's "It's-Raining" is overshadowed in the comparison.
Originally, last year's Rain was so popular. Some media and the public named Rain the title of the hottest solo male singer, and some media and the public even rated him as the new king of the Korean music scene, and now, Kim Jingcheng was born, as if he suppressed Rain's momentum all of a sudden.
Linked to the fact that Kim Jingcheng also suppressed Rain at the KBS Acting Awards, so some media posted that Kim Jingcheng was Rain's evil star, and Kim Jingcheng seemed to be deliberately against Rain, as if he was saying to Rain: "With me, whether it is in the TV series or in the music world." You're going to step aside for me. ”
After Jin Jingcheng saw this news report, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
bumped into Rain again and again, naturally it was not Jin Jingcheng's intention, Jin actually admired Rain very much, this is really a coincidence, the two of them collided together at this time.
In fact, this incident also proves Rain's popularity, because Yijin has become the current hot momentum, if Rain is not hot enough. The media and the public will not specifically compare him with Jin Jingcheng.
What made Jin Jingcheng feel even more laughable was that he would soon collide with Rain on one thing again.
That's about concerts.
Soon after. At the end of January this year, Rain will hold his first solo concert, but according to Jin Jingcheng's plan, he will also hold a concert in February, but it will not be a solo concert. It's a very special concert.
Rao is like this, and most of them will inevitably be compared by the media and the public again.
I wonder what will happen to the concert then?
……
There are also two points of view in the news about "Night Paradise" that form an interesting phenomenon.
The first is that some South Korean media published news that Kim Jingcheng's move to release two versions of the album at the same time in China and South Korea was too hasty. It may even be because Jin Jingcheng's development after his debut was too smooth and rapid, so that Jin Jingcheng became a little proud because of this, and he even tried his best to release an unprecedented double album in China and South Korea.
The second is that some media in China published news, commenting that the Chinese songs in Jin Jingcheng's "Night Paradise" Chinese version of the album are really very authentic, which is simply a miracle, and many Chinese people who have listened to this Chinese version of the album have given high praise, thinking that Jin Jingcheng's Chinese is incredible, and also think that the six Chinese songs are very good.
The latter view of the news is undoubtedly a slap in the face to the first.
It's a pity that the sales of the Chinese version of the album "Night Paradise" in the first week in China were not good, only more than 2,000 copies were sold, on the one hand, because Jin Jingcheng is not very famous in China now, and now he has only gained some fame in China with "I'm Sorry, I Love You" and the three singles that have been released earlier.
On the other hand, because of the serious phenomenon of online piracy, some websites do not buy the copyright at all, and directly put out the Chinese version of the album "Night Paradise" for people to listen to and download for free.
For the phenomenon of piracy, Jin Jingcheng is very helpless, and he is relatively powerless for the time being, maybe after his power is really strong in the future, he can communicate and regulate this part in China.
Rao is so, Jin Jingcheng believes that with the continuous spread and spread of the good reputation of the Chinese version of "Night Paradise" in China, the sales will definitely improve, even if it cannot be ranked among the top of the album sales chart in China in the end, but the results should be better.
What's more, Jin Jingcheng believes that with the continuous development of his entertainment industry, his fame in China will become bigger and bigger, and the album will naturally sell better and better.
……
On the morning of January 8, Kim Kyung-sung was sitting in the president's office of JJC Entertainment Studio, waiting for the arrival of a director, a director who is not well-known for the time being but will shine in the future.
Obviously, Jin Jingcheng's sudden appointment with such a director was not groundless, but planned.
It was about the next film he wanted to invest in, which was also the one he focused on in 2005.
At the moment, the director Jin Jingcheng is waiting for is still on his way.
Jin Jingcheng, who didn't want to waste time, took advantage of the time he was waiting to read two opinion articles published in the newspaper.
Both are music reviews of the album "Night Paradise", both written by very professional music experts.
Since the release of the "Night Paradise" album on January 1, there have been too many news and comments related to it in the past week, and when the outside world hyped it up, Jin Jingcheng, as the person concerned, didn't pay much attention to the news comments in this regard, just asked Shen Lan to help take care of it, and then reported the overall situation to him.
And right now, the two music reviews that Jin Jingcheng is looking at have aroused his special interest.
The difference is that one music review gave "Night Paradise" great praise, and the other gave a great bad review......
