Volume 2 2010 Chapter 277 The Journey is Difficult
"Huh?" The girl was stunned. "Didn't you say at noon that this song would perform well?"
"Yes, the performance will be better than the debut song, but it will be hard to become popular. At least I don't think it's good enough."
Kwon Eun-bi was very surprised by her boyfriend's answer. Wasn't he very sure about the development of Girl's Day at noon?
Seeing Enfei's confused and cute look, Yi Haoyan smiled and reached out to touch her little head.
“I’m not lying, Huili Company is trying the right direction, and the idea of establishing its own unique style is correct.
But, it is difficult to do.
Innovation and breakthroughs are never easy.
Even the best ideas require strength to realize them.
In fact, many small companies have this idea, but due to the limitations of the company's talent and resources, few can do it. "
"Then you still say that the president is amazing?"
Enfei was even more confused.
"It's really amazing. After Girl's Day's debut song failed to be unique, the president actually started to adjust. He tried to combine imitation and innovation in the second title song.
In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the styling style of "Nothing Forever" has a bit of 2NE1's flavor, and the style of the music is also somewhat similar.
It is a safe approach to learn from successful examples in the market and try to add your own characteristics. So I think this song will perform better than the debut song. "
"So you still say you can't become famous?"
“2NE1’s style is not so easy to imitate, they are too individualistic, and their music is highly tied to the personal charm of the members. Learning this style can improve your performance, but it is difficult to grasp the essence.
I think Girl's Day hasn't found their own style yet. Only when they find their own style can they become popular.
This is also the best way for girl groups from small companies to stand out.
So you can see that groups that were not popular after their debut are constantly changing their styles to try to find a way out. Many groups exhausted their popularity and resources in the process of constantly changing their styles and finally disappeared.
From this point of view, Girl's Day is no different from other groups. They are still on the road of exploration. It depends on whether they find their own style and become popular first, or exhaust their resources first..."
Her boyfriend's words made Kwon Eun-fei feel a little depressed.
I thought Huili's company would be successful if it went in the right direction, but now it seems that even if the direction is right, it will be a road full of thorns.
For small companies, the road to success is really difficult!
Will I be like this in the future?
Thinking of this, Kwon Eun-fei felt a little depressed.
Looking at his girlfriend's slightly tense face, Yi Haoyan roughly guessed the reason.
"In fact, there is a certain degree of randomness in the idol industry. Even groups launched by big companies are not all successful."
The boy held the girl's hand, trying to convey his warmth in the cold wind of late autumn. He wanted to tell his girlfriend that things were not as bad as he had imagined.
“Let’s take SM as an example. Although SM did an excellent job in operating Girls’ Generation, it not only survived the Black Sea, but also seized the right time, place and people to reach the top in one fell swoop.
But this does not mean that SM is equally successful in operating other groups.
I won't say much about the free-range SJ , whose popularity was almost entirely due to the members' own efforts and some accidental opportunities. The complete failure of T-Mobile Jeonju, which was built according to the TVXQ model, was also largely due to the company's management problems.
The earlier MILK, Shenfei and Black Beat also did not achieve good results.
So it seems that there is not much difference between big companies and small companies.”
Enfei's hands are very slender and soft to hold, and her delicate skin with a slightly cool touch makes people feel distressed unconsciously.
Yi Haoyan couldn't help but clench his fists tighter.
"Besides, being an idol and becoming popular is important, but the original intention is the foundation of everything! Enfei! Do you still remember why you want to be an idol?"
"Um?"
The girl was stunned by the question and turned to look at Yi Haoyan.
"What made you like this career? Why did you want to do it even though your parents objected?"
"I, I watched the performance of Girls' Generation seniors."
"What does it feel like?"
"Yeah, they are so dazzling. They completely occupied my attention on the stage. I really want to be like them."
"You knew it was hard to be an idol then, right?"
“…Yes, it’s not easy for the unnies in Girls’ Generation either.”
"Since you know this road is not easy to take, why do you still do it regardless of the consequences?"
Yi Haoyan patiently guides Enfei to pursue her inner self.
"I, I don't know, I just want to be like them and shine on the stage like them."
The girl looked a little confused, but her answer was firm.
“Even though you know it’s difficult, you still want to take this path?”
“Yes, even if it’s difficult, I still want to stand on the stage, be the focus of the lights, and receive the cheers of the fans.”
“Hyeri-senpai thinks the same thing.”
"Um?"
Quan Enfei didn't understand what her boyfriend meant. She looked at Yi Haoyan's face, trying to read a clearer meaning from his smile, but it didn't seem to work.
The girl's dull eyes made her look a little silly, like a stupid rabbit that was tricked into a trap without knowing it, so cute.
Yi Haoyan couldn't help it.
He held the girl's little face in his hands, pinched her chubby cheeks, and rubbed her face happily.
"Oh my god! Our Eunbi is so cute! What should I do with her being so cute!!"
"???"
Quan Enfei was completely confused and her face was rubbed into a dough.
"Oppa, is that so?" Eun Fei's speech was a little slurred because of being rubbed on the face.
"Haha! That's what it means literally."
Unexpectedly, Enfei didn't resist and just let her face be rubbed while she was talking.
I can’t be more obedient.
The cute reaction made Yi Haoyan overjoyed.
"Ah~ ah~"
The bullied Enfei couldn't help but complain, but even the tone of her complaint was cute.
“Hahaha~”
After bullying his girlfriend, Yi Haoyan was satisfied.
"I said Hyeri-sunbaby also thought so, which means she also likes the feeling of standing on the stage and performing."
The boy patted his girlfriend's head and explained with a smile.
“The satisfaction of inner needs is the most important thing after the basic physiological needs of human beings are met.
Simply put, it is what kind of person you want to be and what kind of life you want to live, that is, the realization of human value. "
This abstract language was obviously not very friendly to 15-year-old Kwon Eun-fei.
The girl glared angrily at her boyfriend, a top student who didn't speak human language.
"Haha, what I mean is that, whether it's you or Lee Hye-ri, the original intention of choosing to be an idol was not to make a lot of money, but because you like this profession.
This is the satisfaction of inner needs.
That’s what we call the original intention.”
Quan Enfei understood what was said and the girl nodded.
"Although Girl's Day is not popular now, when Hyeri is performing on stage, rehearsing hard in the practice room, and performing on the streets, she is happy.
Then she was happy to see the fans gradually accumulate and the group gain more and more recognition.”
Yi Haoyan continued walking forward holding his girlfriend's hand.
“To be honest, from an economic perspective, being an idol is not a good career for most people.
The competition is fierce, the income is very low without fame, the social status is not high, and the career life span is short.
But why are so many people willing to invest in it?
Because standing on the stage and receiving cheers from the crowd is an addictive experience.
Singing, dancing and performing are essentially a form of entertainment, and this entertainment activity itself can bring people great spiritual satisfaction.
Not to mention the fans who follow you. It’s another very special feeling.
So this is the inner driving force behind children's idol activities.
But the company is not like that.
Companies create idols to make money, it's a business.
Many groups eventually fail to continue their activities, often not because the members don’t want to do it anymore, but because the company can’t continue because it’s not making money.”
"Yes, that's true."
Kwon Eun-bi knew what her boyfriend was going to say.
"You mean, as trainees or artists, we need to focus on our own activities and try to enjoy the process. Thinking too much is useless."
"Yes, it's useless to think about those things . It will only cause more trouble. Those are things that the producer and the company president need to consider. Enfei, you just need to practice hard for now."
After listening to this, the girl nodded heavily, and the haze in her heart gradually dissipated.
