Chapter 37 Chase(1/2)
After the two songs were released, they quickly landed in the top two of the real-time music charts, and the third mini album "Orientation Sniper" and "bang bang bang" are still on the music charts.
Among men's groups, Xiao Qi's music performance in the early stage is relatively good among men's groups. Although it is not ranked high, it is stable and will not easily fall off the list.
Now the music performance is at the forefront among all boy groups, and all the songs are ranked high on the list. The YouTube playback volume is also good, reaching 700W, and the data growth trend is obvious.
On March 14, album pre-sales exceeded 150,000, and album sales exceeded 200,000 on the first day.
There is no doubt that SVT's performance is not a flash in the pan. The stable performance of various statistics has firmly established SVT as the first-line men's team in South Korea.
The increase in popularity in China has given SVT real feedback.
Whether it is the linear increase in sales performance or the performance of music sources, there is a certain relationship.
Tianchao fans are very enthusiastic, whether they are promoting album sales or boosting their idol’s music performance.
Even with all kinds of restrictions, it still can't stop those fans' enthusiasm and love for their idols.
Moreover, Zhongshu accounts for more than half of SVT’s album sales, which is the main reason why the group’s album sales have skyrocketed.
It has to be said that the income from giving up a singing competition at the end of 2014 to participate in a New Year's Eve party of a certain Chinese satellite TV far exceeded the expectations of the company's senior management.
In particular, the ratings of that party were good. With the broadcast of the program, SVT's reputation in China has also improved significantly, and more people know about it.
Especially since 2015, SVT's album sales have skyrocketed.
Although it is far inferior to the Chinese group EXO, which focuses part of its group development on the Chinese market, they have still made a small name in China.
Tianchao's market is huge, even if it only accounts for a small portion of the market share, it is enough, and Seventeen's style hits the strike zone of Tianchao Panda Girls, and the number of fans will only increase. These are all promoting the upward development of Seventeen's performance.
On the "Music Center" stage, Shim Baek Kyu and the members went to the beauty salon early at three or four o'clock to do styling, and waited until the stage scenery was completed.
During the stage recording of "I need u", a mistake occurred during the group dance stage of the first recording. The members did not move in time, causing the stage team formation to be obviously disharmonious when the camera was zoomed out.
In the audience, the three team captains were still giving instructions on what to pay attention to on stage. Obviously, everyone was very concerned about the mistake just now.
Shen Baigui drank the water from the bottle, thinking that the fans' cheers just now were louder than any before.
High popularity will attract celebrity fans, casual fans and the like. As more fans of all kinds increase, the popularity will become higher, forming a cycle.
Although celebrity fans will make the fan base unhealthy, this is an expansion of the passerby's board, so it is an essential thing.
"Do your best on stage and go back to practice more? Brother Shengche."
Shim Baek Kyu put down the bottle and suggested to Seung Cheol. When it comes to stage performances, he is as paranoid as Soon Rong.
Since his debut, he has been very concerned about the details of his performance and has extremely strict requirements on himself.
Although you need to save energy during daily practice, just do the standard movements.
But as long as there is a stage and a camera, his condition will get better and better.
……
After recording the entire stage three or four times, Shim Baek Kyu and the other members were a little tired. They devoted themselves to the performance and their physical strength was exhausted very quickly.
The stage design is a bit complicated, and the stage shots are a bit messy, but the recording effect of the stage and the feedback from fans prove that their efforts were not in vain, and it is really unique and attractive.
After changing their costumes, there was the stage recording of "boom boom". In addition to the blue turtleneck sweaters, black clothing jackets modified their figures. Every member, including Shim Baek Kyu, looked a little less green.
There are small stage arrangements above the head and under the feet. Under the square lights, each member is two degrees whiter.
Dance to the music, kick your legs to the beat of the drums, and the cheers of the fans also rise and fall with the beat.
The drum beats of this song were relatively clear to the fans, and they shouted their cheers loudly, as if the idols on the stage were just their backup dancers.
When listening to idols performing, there will occasionally be loud noises, but this does not affect the stage at all, and even arouses the emotions of the fans.
Fans believe in the strength of SVT. They opened the mic right after their debut, and used the station’s spare equipment to complete stages that made fans’ hearts flutter again and again.
So far, the mic rate is 100%, and sometimes you can still clearly hear the sound of idols spraying mic on the stage.
After the recording, Shim Baek Kyu and the others happily waved and greeted the fans. Seventeen was quite satisfied with the stage performance, and every member performed very well.
The powerful idols are very attractive on stage, and they need long-term practice and a certain amount of talent.
Everyone's outstanding dancing ability is inseparable from long-term practice and love for dance.
For idols who long for the stage, hard work is just the foundation. Because of the expectations of the fans and the love for the stage, what can you do if you don’t give in?
Could it be that when you go on stage to perform, your limbs will be stiff while dancing, and even your movements will look funny?
Not only the company's dance teacher repeatedly emphasized, but also the unbearable memories of the debut show, all urged SVT to practice intensively.
There is a fixed practice room arrangement every day, especially this time when POP dance music comes back. Their self-esteem does not allow such a failed stage to happen again. Shen Baek Kyu usually practices much more seriously.
This POP dance music comeback was a success, not only Shim Baek Kyu but also other members were surprised.
This kind of situation where dance music dominates is still rare for them. It can be regarded as an attempt at a new style route, and the results are not bad.
Fans' acceptance is limited, and some may prefer a certain style of songs, so the group's transformation is risky.
Fortunately, SVT has had a sub-unit since its debut, with songs of various styles. Shim Baek Kyu and Ji Hoon are also trying more song styles and working hard to develop the group.
Use "refreshing youthful feeling" as one of the group's labels, rather than the outside world's inherent impression of SVT.
The staff arranged by P Agency packed up the shooting equipment and left MBC with SVT.
With sufficient funds, P Club has really put a lot of effort into the stage. Faced with the case of saving a group due to a direct shooting explosion, the importance of intuitive stage shooting has greatly increased.
‘Direct shooting’, which was originally just for fans to entertain themselves, has also undergone significant changes, which has affected idols’ expression management ability requirements and the improvement of the status of the dancers in the group.
Direct shooting is undoubtedly a powerful tool for attracting fans, and I believe it will become more and more important with the development of technology. Videos will become clearer and clearer, and fans’ vision and requirements will become higher and higher.
Companies and TV stations with sensitive sense of smell began to pay attention to it, and P Agency also took action early, not only recruiting professional photographers, but also purchasing various professional and advanced equipment.
These few times SVT has returned to the stage, the staff has followed them to shoot.
A comprehensive entertainment company is the development direction of P Company. With the original P Company as the main body, it has merged and acquired small entertainment companies such as Source Music. Obtaining excellent assets in a short period of time is beneficial to the development of P Company.
Due to the acquisition of SS Group in 2014, P Agency has comprehensively strengthened its resources and contacts, and Fantagio has not interrupted its cooperation with the girl group Hello Venus, and Management SOOP, a subsidiary of F Agency, is also relatively well-known.
Although this agency relies heavily on President Kim Jang-gyun to maintain its operations, President Kim was born in Sidus HQ Entertainment Company, has friendly relations with Kong Liu, Hwang Jung-min, etc., and is quite energetic in film and television. The cooperation between the two parties is also P Agency An opportunity to get involved in film and television,
The drama "School 2015", which is expected to start filming in April, is the beginning of the cooperation between the two companies.
Shim Baek Kyu went to the studio with the members who were interested in stage videos, and watched the staff skillfully edit various shots. Direct shooting does not have to be so troublesome.
The company's direct filming will be slightly later than the show's stage. After all, it cannot affect the TV station and must abide by the rules.
Shen Baekkyu looked at the shooting that started from the moment of preparation for the appearance. Sure enough, direct shooting is more in line with the psychology of fans, and even some small movements can be seen clearly.
The fourteen people's direct shooting, dancing and expression management are all online, I believe fans will be satisfied. Looking at the members' discussions from time to time, everyone thinks it is good.
Compared with the somewhat messy cutaway shots, direct shots should make fans more concerned and happy, and this is also considered an official direct shot.
The filming staff arranged by the company participated in their MV shooting, and they undoubtedly know their dance moves better, as well as the switching between long and close shots.
Shen Baigui believes that their company's filming will definitely be better than the TV filming, and more suitable for fans to watch. Good stage videos are more conducive to solidifying fans and attracting passers-by.
"Just looking at our own pen-and-shoot shots, I think they are pretty good, but they probably don't have the kind of pen-and-shoot shots that Hani-sempai did that can cause such a huge response."
Shim Baek Kyu recalled the direct shots of Hani he had seen before, his seductive eyes, excellent expression management, stretched thigh lines, and excellent body curves.
I have to admit that being able to make a girl group that was almost waiting to be disbanded urgently recall them to play songs, and Hani, who is as popular as a first-line girl group, is really amazing.
"Female idols have a greater bonus in direct shooting, but their ability to attract fans should be about the same. Of course, this puts more emphasis on idols with good looks or good figures and dancers, and direct shooting highlights the idol's expression management ability. ”
"And it's really difficult to get out of the group like Hani-senpai. It's a small probability event. However, the expression management ability of our group members still needs to be strengthened.
I don’t want to see pictures of teammates with greasy expressions when I’m watching entertainment news one day.”
Thinking of the greasy expressions of the members, Shen Baekkyu couldn't help but shudder.
This will completely subvert the image of their group. They are a refreshing boy band with a youthful feel. It would be better not to let something like this hurt them happen.
"Yes, the requirements for the stage should indeed be stricter, but our company's filming is indeed better than that of the Da Ge stage. Their director seems to have his own ideas, and the shots are very confusing."
Shunrong thought about the scene on the singing stage. Their treatment had already been calculated. Some members of the group would be taken away from the scene even if they stood at C.
"After all, there are so many stages every day, how can it be possible to completely remember the stage moves of each group? Moreover, the director himself also has his own ideas and preferences."
"By the way, Seokmin, how is your classmate who debuted in January doing?"
Shen Baekkyu suddenly remembered the company's new group, a girl group that was originally prepared to debut by source music. After the company was acquired, it became an asset of P.
After an inspection, the members were found to be of excellent quality, so the debut plan remained unchanged. The six-member girl group officially debuted on January 16, 2015.
Several members of their group and company trainees have also participated in the MV shooting of several of their songs, so they are somewhat familiar.
"Cui Yuna, is that the right name? It's strange that you two dance science students are both the lead singers of the group. Hahahahaha, what do you think? Don't even the colleagues in the company pay attention to it?"
Shim Baek Kyu looked at Seok Min who was playing with Joshua with a wicked smile, he was really curious.
There are actually two of you in the same dance department. After your debut, you have become a home-positioned talent, and you are both good at high notes.
It is human nature to admire someone when you are young.
He looked at his teammates with a gossipy look on his face, waiting for an answer with curious eyes.
"Brother Bai Gui, Cui Yuna and I are not that familiar, we are just classmates."
"Yeah (laughing), have you finished watching? Let's go back to the practice room." Shen Baekkyu thought of Seokmin and their graduation ceremony in February, Seokmin stood in the middle with an awkward look.
I'm not sure about their relationship. If I had known it would be like this, I should have joined in the fun.
