Volume 5 2013 Chapter 953: Han Shenghao's Request for Help
Yi Haoyan was relatively free throughout September.
Suddenly, he seemed to have nothing to do except attend classes.
I withdrew from "Reply 1994" and will no longer be involved in TV dramas.
"Weekly Idol" has recently invited boy bands and groups he is not familiar with, so he has no interest in participating.
Girl's Day is in the summer comeback period, and they still want to stick to their own summer energetic style, which has nothing to do with the sexy route planned by Yi Haoyan, so I don't bother to care.
Sistar is now on the right track.
In September, she participated in the "Incheon Hallyu Concert" held at the Incheon Munhak World Cup Stadium, and is also preparing to hold a solo concert at the Seoul Olympic Park in October, which will also be Sistar's second solo concert.
There is a mature team to prepare and arrange these things, so Yi Haoyan doesn't need to worry about them.
Throughout the entire month of September, the boy had nothing to do except going to school and keeping an eye on Cheng Xiao in the cram school.
He was just bored, and Cheng Xiao was unlucky.
In the past, the boy was often absent from school, so her tutors were all the older sisters in the group who had good grades. Everyone loved this cute little girl, so Xiaoxiao had a very comfortable life.
But the situation changed when Yi Haoyan came back.
Although she didn't realize it, the boy was actually very strict with Cheng Xiao, especially when it came to academic performance, he would often hold her to his own standards.
That's a bit harsh.
After all, Xiaoxiao is good at dancing, not studying, and she is not very good at Korean.
So the little girl had a hard time during this period.
It's really painful to have a top student staring at you every day, finding fault with you at every turn, and having no way to refute you.
Fortunately, the little girl's pain only lasted for two weeks, and she was relieved in the third week.
Yi Haoyan asked for leave again because Sun Enxi came to him.
"You should go to FNC~"
"???"
The boy was a little confused by the big sister's sudden request.
"After all, it was once a subsidiary of CJ, so we'll help if we can~"
Sun Enxi also had a headache.
The relationship between FNC and CJ ENM is somewhat special.
Before 2012, FNC was a subsidiary of Mnet. Later, T-ara got into trouble and CJ also encountered political turmoil. In order to narrow the battle line, the group cut off some celebrity brokerage businesses that were not profitable, including FNC.
Therefore, FNC was divested of its equity and became an independent company.
In fact, CJ ENM has given up on FNC.
However, FNC President Han Seung-ho is a shrewd man. He certainly knows that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. So even though CJ is now facing suppression and is in bad condition, he still chooses to rely closely on this big tree.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and CJ is far from being at the end of his rope.
Even without shares, FNC still stands firmly on the side of CJ and does not waver. Therefore, even though it is no longer a subsidiary, FNC still maintains a good relationship with CJ.
This is also the reason why Sun Enxi is somewhat helpless now.
AOA, the girl group launched by FNC before, has not been doing well since its debut. Han Seung-ho somehow found out about Haoyan's situation and came to her for help in a roundabout way.
Originally, this kind of thing could have been ignored before.
But now CJ is under investigation, and FNC is one of the few people who have been standing firmly on CJ's side under pressure. If they ignore it at this time, it will inevitably discourage the people below.
So even if it was just for show for outsiders to see, Sun Eun-hee couldn't completely ignore it. She had to at least let her brother make a trip.
"AOA?"
When Yi Haoyan heard his sister mention the name of the company, he guessed what it was about.
This group, which debuted in 2012, can be said to have refreshed young people's understanding of girl group planning.
AOA's seven angels are fine, but what about the half-angels? Is the girl named Xu Youqing considered an AOA member?
If she is a member, she only participates in band activities and doesn't dance. If she is not a member, then what is she?
Moreover, the girl group also plays in a band, which is considered very courageous.
It's not that this kind of setting can't be done.
When Girls' Generation came back for the second time to cover Lee Seung-chul's "Girls' Generation", the nine girls dressed up as members of a girl band. The picture was full of vitality, dynamic and cute, and it was a very successful plan.
But Girls' Generation was just playing as a band, they weren't really active as a band, and they were just pretending to play the instruments.
It’s not like AOA, who actually let the band members learn to play instruments!
You have to know that musical instruments are something you can play as a hobby, but it's not easy to form a band and make a living from them.
Among the band members Shin Jimin, Park Choa, Seo Yuna, Kwon Minah, and Seo Yookyung, except Seo Yookyung who is a full-time drummer, the others are all involved in idol activities!
Their schedules are already full with singing, dancing, and appearing on variety shows. How can they have the time and energy to master a musical instrument?
What's the point of being in a band if you can't play an instrument?
So although this plan seems very innovative, it is really stupid because it is impossible to implement.
Based on this level of planning, the development of the group is naturally not very good.
They have released three singles and went to Japan to develop their careers, but they have not made any splash and have little presence among the third-generation girl groups.
Not to mention comparing with Sistar, even Girl's Day is better than them.
In today's girl group market, Girls' Generation is still at its peak, Kara and 2NE1 are still strong. T-ara encountered difficulties, but still maintained its position as a first-tier girl group, followed by 4Minute, F(X), and Miss A, who all performed very well.
However, there are not many new groups that stand out, and most of them are old faces.
Overall, among today's third-generation girl groups, there are not many that are strong enough to challenge the second-generation girl groups, and the competition is very fierce.
If AOA wants to stand out, this kind of planning will definitely not work.
…
…
FNC is larger than expected, and its facilities are more complete and comprehensive than Yi Haoyan expected .
After all, it is the company that launched FTISLAND and CNBLUE. Both bands became successful and the company has accumulated some assets.
Now, FTISLAND's leader and lead singer Lee Hong-ki is not only a singer, but also challenging himself in acting.
In August 2009, Lee Hong-ki starred in the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama "You're Beautiful" and won the 2009 SBS Acting Awards Rising Star Award.
In May 2011, she starred in the Japanese TBS TV spring late-night drama "Muscle Girl".
In May 2013, Lee Hong-ki starred in the Korean movie "The Burning Goodbye".
It can be considered as all-round development.
The same goes for CNBLUE's leader and lead singer Jung Yong-hwa who debuted later.
As soon as he debuted, he won the first place on the "Music Bank" weekly music chart with "Lonely Man", setting a new record in the Korean music scene at that time.
At the same time, we are also trying more possibilities beyond music.
In October 2009, Jung Yong-hwa made his debut in the SBS TV series "You're Beautiful" and won the 2009 SBS Acting Awards Newcomer Award.
In 2011, he starred in the MBC TV series "You Are My Destiny".
Moreover, Jung Yong-hwa also starred in the second season of "We Got Married" with Girls' Generation's Seohyun, forming the "Sweet Potato Couple" and became extremely popular at one point.
At the same time, he has also achieved a lot in the position of host.
It can be said that the development of these two bands has been very successful so far.
This further highlights the failure of AOA's planning.
They are not a startup girl group like Sistar and Girl's Day. AOA has seniors from the same company.
With such a good foundation, it has developed into this.
I can only say that the planning is too poor.
