Vol 2 Chapter 972: RedVelvet (on)
Zhang Pingan feels that this wave of S.M is really a bit suspicion of "cutting leeks." Of course, Zhang Pingan also understands that the agency's capital investment in the official album is larger. However, it's just a little bigger. If the investment is twice as large as the previous mini album "WHY", then Ping An will definitely not believe it.
Actually, the main cost of an album, whether it is a regular or a mini, is the photography part..
JYP once publicly revealed on the program that the investment for an album is about 500 million won. It counts down to almost three million Chinese coins, because a'MV' involves renting venues, setting up a stage, equipment rental, hiring directors, costumes, props, makeup, accessories, and hiring professionals, etc. They are very expensive.
Xiaopozhan, an UP owner tried to make a small scene by himself, and it was a single scene MV, costing 210,000 Chinese currency.
From this we can see how much money is spent making ‘MV’, if special effects are involved... well, everyone knows that ‘special effects’ is a bottomless pit. Today’s ‘MV’ is somewhat related to special effects production, so Park Jinying only publicly stated in his collaboration with Yoo Jae-shik in the ‘Song Festival’ that the production cost of an album is around 500 million won, which is not an exaggeration!
When the planner talked about ‘Taeyeon’s regular album investment is very large’, Zhang Ping’an also admitted that it was the first regular album after all. Their company invested a relatively large amount of capital to produce, which can be regarded as a reflection of their intention to produce.
Zhang Pingan thinks that you have produced two versions of a regular album, a normal version and a deluxe version. This is still in the normal range. The deluxe version is actually two or three more songs. Of course, the photo style of the embedded album is increased compared to the normal version.
But what do you mean by the four versions of an album? To put it bluntly, it means cutting leeks to make money. Take advantage of fans’ collecting psychology and sell more albums.
So after hearing the four versions, Zhang Ping An was indifferent at all, and even in front of Taeyeon, he directly said that their company was ‘cutting fans’ leeks’. This approach is really a bit unnatural. If you have to put it in the most straightforward terms, you are thinking of money and crazy.
When Zhang Ping’s complaints fell? The marketing department also said: “It’s mainly because Taeyeon’s official album really invested a lot this time? So we think we can make four versions. Two for the regular version and two for the deluxe version. indivual."
Zhang Ping’an smiled and said, “Okay? It’s okay to fool some fans with these words. You told me that the investment is big? So I have to make more versions to release? What a joke, forget it? I'm too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, this is your company's business."
S.M treats fans as leeks? This kind of thing is not a day or two. Besides? Isn't the entertainment market like this, all fans are leeks to be cut, otherwise, how can the idol brokerage company make money?
Of course Taeyeon understands what Zhang Pingan said? was actually telling her. After all, the company cuts her fans? But the company manages the release scale of the album, which is something she cannot interfere.
Taeyeon could only say to Zhang Ping An with a smile: "Why do you think of it today?"
Zhang Ping’an said about his today’s arrangements: “I’m going to see a chef at noon, and I have to ask him for something next. How about you, let’s have a meal at noon by the way?”
Taeyeon nodded and said, "Okay? But, isn't it still early now?"
Zhang Ping’an raised his hand and looked at his watch? Then he smiled and said, “That’s OK, I won’t bother you in the meeting. I’ll go for a walk first? I will pick you up before lunch?”
Taeyeon nodded and said, "Okay. Right? Red Beibei is practicing today? You don’t want to go down and take a look?"
Zhang Ping’an listened to when Red Beibei was practicing at the company today? He thought for a while, as if they would release a song after the New Year, like the song "Rookie".
Zhang Ping’an smiled and said, “I’ll go down and take a look. I still owe them a variety show. I haven’t heard anything for so long, so I will give you an explanation in person today?”
...
After leaving the meeting room at Taeyeon, Zhang Pingan did not rush to Red Beibei’s practice room, but went to the lobby on the first floor and bought five ice creams. Ice cream is sold all year round, and there are many people who eat it, just like the ice city in China.
In fact, the winter in the north is completely different from the winter in the south. The winter temperature in the north is very low, but everyone’s home is heated. If you are indoors in the north, it's really not cold at all. You can get through this outdoor weather of ten to ten below zero by wearing autumn pajamas. Sometimes I get fever at home, so it’s normal to eat ice cream
But it's different if you are in the south. There is no indoor heating in the cities in the south. So the cold in the south is really cold, and the way to keep out the cold in most homes in the south is to wear more and resist!
After purchasing the ice cream, Zhang Ping An calmly entered the office building in the envy of a group of fans. Countless fans looked at the security at the door and did not mean to stop Zhang Ping An. He easily entered through the electric glass door. After disappearing into everyone's field of vision.
A fan sitting in the lobby drinking coffee said, "Why is Zhang Ping'an here again today?"
"He appears S.M. I don't think it is strange anymore. Someone has analyzed it. According to analysis, three places are easiest to see Zhang Ping'an. The first is Shangyandong TV station, the second is S.M, and the third is LOEN to which Li Zhien belongs."
"Hahaha, it is true. But I also heard that there is only one thing about Zhang Pingan to S.M.."
"Taeyeon is about to release an album." When a fan said this, many people in the audience laughed. Every time Zhang Pingan appeared in S.M and was seen, S.M would definitely announce the news of Taeyeon's SOLO'Return' soon. Many fans joked that Zhang Ping'an is a ‘leaker’.
Zhang Ping’an never cared about the fans’ jokes to him. He brought the ice cream to Red Beibei’s practice room. When he opened the first soundproof door, “ie..” was already in his ears and waited for him to open it. In the second door, the melody of their album's title song was completely exposed to Zhang Ping'an's ears.
is practicing Red Beibei and saw Zhang Pingan coming in from the mirror, and the obvious dance moves gradually slowed down. Because their agent is not in the practice room, Zhang Pingan is not a member of their company after all. Their dance practice, including the music they are playing, still has a certain risk of leaks.
Seeing the five of them hesitate, Zhang Pingan raised his hand and gestured to them, ‘turned twice,’ which meant that they should continue.
After seeing Zhang Pingan's movements, they did not immediately stop the music, but continued to dance. And Zhang Ping'an naturally walked to the rest area, sat on the sofa and watched their exercises from a distance. In the cold weather outside, they did not turn on the heating in the practice room, and at this time they were wearing either long-sleeved T-shirts or short-sleeved T-shirts.
Two minutes later, their practice ended, and the youngest went to shut down the looping music. And they also came and walked in the direction of the rest area. The action of the song "Rookie" changed very quickly, so they were all panting after practicing. The sweat beads on Seulqi's forehead made her hair stick to her forehead, which was very cute.
I have to say that S.M has a good foundation in choosing artists. The five of them are practicing without makeup today, but their makeup is not very different.
Zhang Pingan handed them S.M’s shopping bags: "I’ll buy you ice cream."
Pei Zhuxuan reached out and took the ice cream and smiled and said, "Thank you, PD."
Zhang Ping’an smiled and said, “Eat an ice cream and take a break. Put your clothes on, so you can easily catch a cold with alternating hot and cold.”
The clothes they put on the lounge area are all long down jackets, which may make them feel a little hot when wearing them. Seulqi smiled and said to Zhang Ping’an, “I just jumped in a circle, and it’s still hot now. , Put it on later."
Zhang Ping’an smiled and drew two tissues from the side and handed them to Seulqi: “Wipe off the sweat first.”
Pei Zhuxuan smiled and took the paper towel and wiped Seul Qi's forehead~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Zhang Ping An was casually sitting with the five people of Red Beibei. While they were eating ice cream, Zhang Ping An opened his mouth and said: "Looking at the results of your practice, the album will be released at the beginning of next year, right?"
Pei Zhuxuan nodded and said, "Well, the return plan this time is early next year, but we have not been notified of the specific release time."
Zhang Ping’an smiled and said, “It’s really a bit lively early next year. I now know that the albums to be released early next year will include Bae Soo-ji’s SOLO, Lee Ji-eun’s album, Taeyeon’s, and yours.”
Listening to Zhang Pingan’s words are some music overlords, or the first love of popular nationals, Pei Zhuxuan was a little surprised and said: "Early next year, are so many people releasing albums? And Senior IU will also release albums. ?"
As the artists of S.M Company, they will definitely arrange the wrong development of the album with Taeyeon. If they staggered Taeyeon and ran into another sound source overlord Li Zhien, then it would be impossible for them to **** one from Li Zhien.
Zhang Ping’an nodded and said, “Well, it’s the beginning of next year, but for the specific release time, I’ll ask Zhien another day. At that time, you’d better stagger her when you look at the release time. I don’t think you can. Grabbed one place from Li Zhien. The last time the'no-choice ballad festival' Quan Zhilong group, Liu Jae-shik's combination, had good results at the beginning, but within a day, Li Zhien occupied the first place. This is why. It can be seen that Li Zhien’s performance in the music chart belongs to this..."
Zhang Ping An said, finally, he had to give a thumbs up!
