The entertainment industry may be changing generations faster than a girl changing her red lipstick number. Without QS, the Korean entertainment industry is no less exciting than before.
But in the past two months, in summary, three companies have taken the lead:
Miss A relied on the song "Hush" as the main hit, and broke into a male fan market with the sexy style that impacted the trend of the times; 4minutes's Kim HyunA and BEAST's Jang Hyunseung formed a limited group "No Tomorrow", with the help of Xie Qianyu and Li Juli in the past. The trend of "Trouble Maker" skyrocketed; in the end, only YG's Seungri solo and BIGBANG's successive comebacks were left, relying on a solid fan base to capture a piece of the market share.
There were girl groups, male and female groups, male groups, and male solo singers. The market was very busy for a while, but at a quick glance, it was still people from the same companies.
JYP, CUBE, and YG are inextricably linked. They have been fighting from the beginning of the year to the last month of the first quarter. Except for a few small companies that want to stand out and try to win the market, most of the agencies headed by SM The company strangely remained silent at the same time, leaving the market to three parties that were quick to kill.
It's true that they are almost losing their money, but JYP's Park Jin Young and CUBE's Hong Seung Sung are so lucky that they are making so much money. Only YG's Yang Juhua is angry.
One of the first two people didn't expect that this kind of song that transcended the trend of the times would be so popular; the other didn't expect that Xie Qianyu would actually send songs and dances to their company for free, and even helped select candidates for the temporary group. , this album is simply a piece of pie in the sky.
Only Yang Hyun Suk couldn't laugh. It's not that BIGBANG made less money or lost money after their two comebacks. VIPs (BIGBANG fans' name) are still very powerful. It's a pity that the market for passersby other than fans is almost divided by the other two companies. A clean one.
male? Do you like watching long-legged girls dancing? Come on, come on, my guy named miss A sang the song "Hush", let's hear it?
female? Do you like Trouble Maker? QS's family meal... That's even better. I have one called "No Tomorrow" which is similar to TM!
For a group like Dabangg and SNSD, if their return cannot reach a certain "explosion point", then it is a loss in a certain sense. If they can't gain new popularity, they will waste fans' financial resources. It feels like the gain outweighs the loss.
But seeing that the matter of co-building YGEX with RB Ai Hui is about to begin, and the attitude there has become ambiguous again, Yang Hyun Suk can only speed up the artist's schedule, hoping that the good-looking financial statements in the first quarter will become The last straw that helped AVEX make up its mind.
When he saw that the names of Xie Qianyu and T-ara were already on the artist list of AVEX, Yang Xianshuo's intuition told him that this matter was closely related to that man.
When Xie Qianyu came out with "Gangnam Style", all the brokerage companies were jealous and fearful. They hoped that he could become a member of their own company, but they were also afraid that he would be signed by a rival company.
When CJ bought out him and his agency, everyone felt a little relieved while feeling regretful. After all, CJ had no money and his foundation in the entertainment industry was still very shallow. However, Xie Qianyu had an extra layer of restraint on his head.
“Who can tell me why that guy writes songs for other companies! Is he short of money?!”
This is the only thought in Yang Xianshuo's heart at the moment.

"What a pervert..." Lee Soo Man put down the phone in the office and sighed, silently crumpling the copy of "Super Junior's Return Case" on the table into a ball of paper and throwing it away.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like to force Super Junior back under such circumstances. How much market share would it have?
25%....? 20%....? Or a lower 15% or even single digits?
At this moment, Jin Yingmin knocked on the door and walked in. He happened to hear Director Li sigh:
"I can't imagine what would have happened to us if he had been born ten years earlier."
"You don't have to be born ten years earlier. If that trouble hadn't happened back then, he would have unified the current Korean music industry with the backing of LG." Before talking about work, Kim Young-min poured cold water on Lee Soo-man, breaking his illusion. And mentioned the other person's sadness.
"Obviously I am in the United States, but I have planned everything that will happen in the past two months last year. It's terrible..."
Kim Young-min also had a slight chill, inexplicably thinking of what he said at that time - "Don't let girl groups prepare to come back recently~". If he didn't believe in evil and arranged for the return of his artists, would the current YG become What about SM?
When everyone thought that Xie Qianyu was still obsessed with the girl group T-ara, he had unknowingly extended his tentacles to the entire entertainment market...
Shaking his head, Jin Yingmin quickly shook the frightening thought out of his head and told Li Xiuman why he came: "Have you got the news, about SBS?"
Lee Soo Man nodded. He had just hung up the phone and received the news from an "internal person" within SBS: "T-ara's Hyomin and Jiyeon participated in the recording of a special episode of "Running Man"? Is this what you want to say?"
"Yes, the broadcast time should be two weeks later. Do you want to watch Super Junior's comeback...?"
"Let's redo it and see the response from QS."
"If a boy band fights a girl band, will the fairies be afraid of people like T-ara?"
Originally, the boy group was supposed to be under the leadership of Lee Soo Man, but now that another troublesome Chinese man's contract termination has just subsided, and as SJ's first comeback after the change of members, this special time point forced the two of them to face it carefully together.
"What if he goes off in person and releases two more songs?"
Li Xiuman's words made Jin Yingmin feel stuck in his throat and speechless.
What a familiar method, what a disgusting approach, what a terrifying man...
As Asiana Airlines planes landed at Incheon International Airport, it marked the return of the "core backbone" of QS Office. They had not appeared in the public eye for a whole month and finally returned to this land. .
In the past month, except for "The True Colors of Idols" hosted by Xie Qianyu, who has flown between the United States and South Korea, and "We Got Married Season 3", which has officially aired four episodes with Ham Eun Jung Jae, the company's only two groups of artists have not had the slightest bit of success. information.
Especially T-ara's eldest and third eldest brother, they seemed to have disappeared from the world, which made people a little uneasy. Some people with a keen sense of smell have already smelled some unusual smells.
Maybe Kim Young-min is one of them.
The entire first quarter seems to have nothing to do with QS Company, but in fact it is connected at hidden joints everywhere. When everyone returns to their positions, this drama is bound to become more exciting.
----------------------------------------
While the South Korean entertainment bosses thousands of miles away were in a panic because of the variety show script written by Xie Qianyu for their two maknae, the man in the eye of the storm was shivering with a little girl at the airport reception area.
In the Tom Bradley International Terminal, or TBIT for short, which is under the jurisdiction of Asiana Airlines, Xie Qianyu and Zheng Xiujing have been waiting at the pick-up area for more than half an hour.
"Little Crystal, are you sure your Ernie's flight is..."
"Qianyu OPPA, don't ask, I'm sure!" Xie Qianyu just started, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Zheng Xiujing, "This is the only flight from Seoul to Los Angeles this afternoon. Logically speaking, it should have arrived half an hour ago."
"Is it possible that she came from Busan or Jeju Island? Maybe she went abroad to China...?"
"OPPA! Do you think you won't tell me if my sister goes abroad?! She is my dear Unnie!"
Seeing that the arrogant little loli was showing signs of going berserk, Xie Qianyu didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to hide aside with his arms folded.
[I don’t know who was shivering with cold just now. You who urged me to see the flight information at that time were not like you are now...]
I don’t know whether it’s the late spring cold in the United States or whether the airport staff is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. In short, the temperature inside the terminal is surprisingly cold today, especially the small area at the airport pick-up gate.
Perhaps it is the inheritance of the "Zheng sisters". Today, Zheng Xiujing, who went to the airport to pick up the plane, wore exquisite and fashionable clothes with excitement.
The price of grace... is of course temperature. Seeing that the girl was really freezing, Xie Qianyu took off his plaid coat and wrapped it around her.
But he is also an artist! He also has idol baggage! Wearing only a thin sweater and a base layer underneath the warm coat, I was still shivering from the cold.
As a result, the passengers coming and going involuntarily noticed a strange scene:
There are two Asian tourists with black hair, a man and a woman, wearing masks. The man is dressed as thinly as performance art, shivering in the corner; the girl is wrapped in a men's jacket, with a picture of "I don't know this XX" The expression is guarded at the airport exit.
"OPPA, if you really feel cold, you can wait in the car. I'll just wait here for Ernie to come out."
Even though she was an idol, she was looked at strangely by so many passengers and people picking her up at the airport. Even Zheng Xiujing couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked up to Xie Qianyu and said with a serious face.
"It's okay, it's not cold at OPPA. Let's wait another half hour. If you, Ernie, don't come out, we'll get in the car together."
The reason why Jessica declined was not because Xie Qianyu was trying to be a man, but because the treatment SM gave her was no better than T-ara, and the only manager and bodyguard was no longer known where to go to get some free time.
It was not that he was afraid that the American native Zheng Xiujing would get lost, but that if something happened to the girl in a crowded place like the airport, he would really have no way to explain it to Li Xiuman.
The unusually cold weather, the arriving flight showing on the status bar, the passengers who didn’t show up... In short, this airport pick-up trip looked weird.
Fortunately, Jessica didn't let her dear sister wait any longer. About a quarter of an hour later, she saw a blonde wearing big sunglasses and a curled hat walking out dragging a suitcase.
[It’s spring, and there’s no sun, so why should I wear a beach hat...]
Although the girl's appearance was very eye-catching, a certain man who was petty still complained in his heart.
"Unnie!!"
A rare vacation, a rare meeting with sisters, and a rare return to the United States!
All of this made Jessica extremely excited, and her emotions were even too high. She even forgot about what Jessica had been waiting for for a long time, and all she wanted to do was rush forward and ask for a hug.
result......
"Anniang Hashemiga! Thank you Ganyuxi!"
Jessica directly ignored her sister, walked directly to Xie Qianyu with her accompanying manager, and said hello with extremely strict honorifics and bows.
Xie Qianyu nodded to Jessica in response, and then shook hands with the male agent. Xie Qianyu, who was freezing just now, was now very cold.
It stands to reason that Xie Qianyu is also the president now. Just imagine if Jin Yingmin greeted Jessica with honorifics in a serious manner, that would probably be a terrible thing.
"Unnie..." Zheng Xiujing watched the "girl control" walk around her and bow to greet Xie Qianyu. Her big eyes slowly filled with disbelief at first, and then it seemed as if tears were about to well up in the next second.
"Well...Li Haojunxi, right...? I don't know if President Jin has told you, but I have already said hello to him. There are no recording arrangements today, so I asked Jessica to follow Krystal, let’s take a day off together, and you can also take a day off to relieve yourself from the fatigue of traveling and traveling. Do you think that’s okay?”
Li Haojun nodded, regardless of the fact that he received Jin Yingmin's message as soon as he got off the plane. Based on Xie Qianyu's status and polite manner, he did not dare and would not make things difficult.
While Xie Qianyu and Li Haojun were discussing, Jessica just took out a set of cosmetics she had just bought at the duty-free shop, and successfully coaxed Zheng Xiujing, who was still a "child", into peace. The two sisters came over as reconciled as ever. .
"Xie Qianyuxi, I don't need to rest. Can I start recording tonight?"
"Um?"
--------------------------------------------------
Before coming to the United States, Jessica had always been anxious. To be precise, she hadn't had a good night's sleep since the moment she heard Xie Qianyu call her name.
A person who has never given you a good look, a dazzling person with equally high status and talent, a man who suddenly wants to write a song for you and sing a duet with you...these factors are added together, except for nerves Except for very tall girls, I am afraid that everyone would feel uneasy, not to mention Jessica being the type who has more random ideas.
But on the day of "Point General", her president and art director were present, and several of her teammates were squatting in the corner with her... There was obviously no room for her to refuse or maneuver with such a certain "good" itinerary. of.
What's even more tragic is that when she finally decided to seek advice from her team members, most of the replies she got were -
"You're actually unwilling to do such a great thing?"
Perhaps only Jessica herself knows how deeply the man backstage that day left a deep psychological shadow on her.
Fortunately, in the end, those bad friends gave some more constructive suggestions, such as...
"When you treat Xie Qianyu, you must be respectful and follow his ideas as much as possible."
As a result...she "disobeyed" the man's suggestion just after she said the second sentence.
Xie Qianyu raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by the girl's words: "Are you ready?"
Jessica didn't speak, just nodded, believing in her mastery of the song.
"Xie Qianyuxi, it's so late... Can you still find the recording studio? Otherwise, I'd better listen to you..."
Just after he agreed to President Xie, he turned around and was slapped in the face by his own artist. Li Haojun, who was caught in the middle, was embarrassed and tried to save something.
But Xie Qianyu didn't say much. He just turned and walked toward the exit, gesturing for the three people behind him to follow.
