Korean Entertainment's Survival War

Xu Minghe thought he had already felt how much personal efforts can play a role in the general environment.But compared with an epidemic that has spread to the whole world, the factional struggles in the Korean entertainment industry that have just been experienced.Become insignificant, and the biggest battle they made was to disband X1, bringing the competition of the new generation of boy groups back to the same starting line.

But a serious infectious disease on a large scale will have a devastating blow to the entertainment industry.Even if this is an era when it can be transferred to the Internet, but for the entertainment industry, this transformation is mainly due to the migration of media. The Internet is gradually replacing traditional TV platforms. Offline performances, including public performances and Concerts, the biggest source of income for the entertainment industry, especially the Korean entertainment industry, are not so easily replaced by the Internet.But when an infectious disease spreads, the first thing to avoid is crowd gathering.This kind of crowd gathering in the tertiary industry is purely for consumption and entertainment, and has no attribute of production, let alone the reason for being forgiven.In terms of what has happened.The spread of infectious diseases can also wreak havoc on the economy.How much people will spend on spiritual needs while their wallets are shrinking is also an issue.

Xu Minghe made a rather pessimistic prediction based on his shallow sociological knowledge.

"It's not good," he said quietly to himself, "but it hasn't reached the point where we need to escape. This place has had a few years of stable and happy life for most people. No matter how difficult the times are, I won't starve to death Bar."

Xu Minghe will not engage in a career that contributes to society in the traditional sense just because he has entered a difficult period. He is not interested.There is no way to get the most important attention from it.While supporting himself, using music or other things to bring spiritual joy or comfort to others is what Xu Minghe, who has a sense of responsibility but no spirit of sacrifice, will do.It is of course good to be rich and powerful, but it is also good to have enough food and clothing if not.When Xu Minghe didn't get the system, he would still suffer for his hobbies. After getting the system, he could even hope for eternal life, and his desire for material things became even weaker.

Xu Minghe sat on the chair, meditated for a while, and when he looked up, he found that the sky outside the window had already darkened.He turned off the YouTube interface, turned on the composition software and the lights in the room.

The hardships and setbacks experienced in these years, especially the ups and downs in the past six months, are not all bad things for Xu Minghe. The solid foundation of music theory has been tempered by many emotions. After having different experiences, he is still with the help of the system. A variety of styles have been studied, and great inspiration has been gained from the different musical changes of the two worlds.In the days without work, Xu Minghe can be said to be inspired like a spring, that is to say, the topic of writing songs for idol groups is a bit difficult for him, and it is almost easy to create songs based on bands.Zhao Youming also mentioned the song "Let's Run" when he met him, but Xu Minghe couldn't be shaken at all. It is good that Swing can regard him as an independent composer and re-discuss the copyright issue. Taking advantage of the situation at that time The chaos didn't make it clear and the song was withheld. Xu Minghe didn't mind making it a sacrifice of the past. Anyway, X1 has been disbanded. It's strange whether he sings for himself or for others.The most essential reason is that Xu Minghe can continue to write works of similar quality or even better, so it would not be a pity to let a song be buried with memories.

Now Xu Minghe looks at the increasingly long list of self-composed songs on the computer, and thinks more about:

If I could keep writing, how far could I go?

Although there will be no suitable broadcast programs in the short term, Xu Minghe did not cut off the connection with fans. INS live broadcast is a very convenient way of communication, but Xu Minghe's experience is still not good. Do half a day of mental construction.At this time, it is difficult for him to contact his former teammates. They each have their own companies. More importantly, after trying their best, they finally admitted that the X1 with the butterfly as a symbol has really become a butterfly that flies away forever. Xu Minghe, I don't want to give fans unnecessary hopes anymore.

This time, because he wanted to talk about business, Xu Minghe's pain was a little lighter.After I opened INS, I chatted for a while, and then I saw the content such as "what's the next plan".Fans leave messages like this every time, this time Xu Minghe finally figured out how to answer.

"There is still a contradiction between the actual situation and my personal hope. Although I really want to see everyone on the stage, how to bring works in the days to come will not be decided soon," Xu Minghe said. The frequency of messages, and the messages of "Brother, I will always support you" that swiped the screen in time, smiled and said, "How about I open a YouTube account? Whether it's a cover song or a performance, if you want to see it, I will Just do it, there are also some self-composed songs, no matter how you change them, they are all one-person versions, how about I sing them to you? They will also be uploaded to soundcloud.”

YouTube bloggers do not make money if they do not do it seriously. Fans were moved by Xu Minghe's words. While continuing to express their determination to say "I will always love you", they began to swipe the screen saying "I will definitely subscribe!" "CJ won't open it Let’s put a meal advertisement on YouTube.” Xu Minghe seemed a little moved: “What, you guys...well, I’ll think about it.”

He said helplessly but calmly: "There is nothing I can do for you, and I would rather postpone the time to meet you on stage because of some personal thoughts, so...don't do this."

Xu Minghe looked a little moved, but the fans were really moved.They just worked for CJ for free, but they can produce free output in order to give back to fans. As fans, how can they be willing to quit at this time?

——Whether it is sunk costs or "guilt", it is the use of fans' psychology in marketing.Of course Xu Minghe didn't do it purely to give back to his fans. Although he didn't intend to drain these children's time and money, he also hoped that their enthusiasm would last longer, so that no matter what he did in the future, he would have more convenience.

After the live broadcast, Xu Minghe opened a Youtube account and named it CryingCraneXu, and uploaded a cover song - "crane'scrying" by Russian singer Vitas.

Fan: My idol seems to have a bit of a bad taste, although I sing very well, yes...

Passerby: Hahahaha what is this meme playing? It’s a Vitas song. It’s not bad to listen to...

Although the translation of this song should be called "Crane Weeping" in a strict sense, the brainless literal translation is "Crane Crowing", and the song directly translated into "Crying Crane" is playing with his own name. In terms of strength, Xu Minghe The performance is still remarkable.The original singer Vitas is famous for his high-pitched voice, and his singing voice is as ethereal as climbing into the clouds. Xu Minghe's voice range is not so high and his voice is a little deeper. However, it is not a shame that the cover song is lowered a little compared to the world's leading high-pitched singers. Technically speaking , Xu Minghe's performance in the treble area is very stable, and the iconic vibrato is not missing. From an emotional point of view, because of the different timbres, he also added some of his own interpretations to the singing style. It became a crane that flaps its wings and flies through the dense clouds, but no matter what kind of version it is, if it is done well enough, it will be a successful cover.

There are meme elements, so there is talk; there is a show part, so it can quickly catch people's ears in the information age when everyone is in a hurry; there are equally excellent details, so the attracted people start to circulate.Xu Minghe's popularity gave the video a solid foundation to click and watch. Coupled with the appropriate meme, innovative song selection and solid quality, the popularity began to climb steadily on YouTube, and became one of the hot topics on forums and SNS. one.

At the stage of fans' devotion, the feelings for Xu Minghe are more complicated, and the thoughts of passers-by are more simple: "What, Xu Minghe has opened a YouTube account. Is this going to be an Internet celebrity or what?" - "The cover song is called " "Crane Cry"? Interesting. Is it Vitas's song? Can he sing it? Check it out."——"Wow, it's just a meme, it's a really good song, I never thought that one day I would be able to listen to idol digestion like this "——"Here is a different idolcover, 404C Xu Minghe sings a super high-pitched Russian song, it is definitely a loss if you don't watch it."——"Will he upload cover works later? I heard from fans that he also composed his own songs ? Follow the account first."

But for some people, the significance of this matter is not just that there is one more new YouTuber on YouTube who has only uploaded one video at present, and the number of clicks, subscriptions, and discussions are quite impressive.After Xu Minghe made such a move, someone with a heart traced back to the source, and quickly made an inference based on what Xu Minghe said in the live broadcast.

Xu Minghe, who thought he was already a "swing man", seemed to have some problems in the process of officially signing a contract with swing.

Although the overall draft of the fourth season is not as good as that of the second season, Xu Minghe, who left a deep and good impression on the people early, is enough to be a special case.Even if WannaOne has been active for more than a year, X1 stopped abruptly in five months, so that Xu Minghe, who became a "phenomenal" representative of the draft due to different reasons, could not be like his predecessor Jiang Daniel. He can stand on his own, but the popularity foundation he already has is a level that makes companies other than the three major companies inevitably return to their hearts.Opening an account on YouTube and uploading a cover video can attract passers-by to passers-by fans, which also shows that he does not only rely on editing and packaging. Apart from returning to Xu Minghe himself, he still has huge possibilities.

Then why hesitate, go find out what's going on.

Not long after, they inquired about the reason why Xu Minghe's signing with Swing was blocked.

I also inquired about other things by the way. For example, Xu Minghe is actually very good at writing songs, and for example, in order to save the fate of X1 being disbanded, Xu Minghe actually made a lot of efforts.

Is it possible that there really is such a wonderful talent with outstanding talent and a special personality?

"Recently, there are a lot of people asking about my brother." X1 disbanded, and the chat group on the phone no longer exists, but they all have KKT accounts with each other. Meeting in person should consider whether it will affect the business and other "group souls", It is not a problem to rely on the Internet to contact in private.So it didn't take long for Xu Minghe to get the news from Li Yinshang.

Although brandnewmusic has many people in the fourth season and their ranking is not too bad, they already have AB6IX, so it is hard to say whether they will launch a new group.Xu Minghe didn't think too much, and followed Li Yinshang's words: "What did you say about me after you found out?"

The author has something to say: Xu Minghe: I opened a Youtube account for the sake of my fans (Have all the brokerage companies seen it? I haven’t reached a deal with Swing. Can any of you meet my request?)

This article will end soon, and it is estimated that there will be about three more chapters?There is nothing to write about in the future. After Zong Xin disbanded, he didn't have a chapter to summarize the follow-up. He just wanted to write another brain hole.
