Chapter 122 The big one is coming The first video of "THE FIREST TAKE" has been viewed over 10 million times two days after its official release on YouTube. Not only KPOP fans in the peninsula, but also a large number of audiences in Southeast Asia and even Europe and the United States were attracted by the novel and unique style of the program and then completely immersed in the pleasant music. It can be said that the program has achieved breaking the circle to a certain extent, making audiences around the world realize that KPOP is not just about highly addictive dance music. Even if you leave the MV and the stage and just listen to the songs quietly, you can still enjoy high-quality KPOP songs that are very friendly to the ears. As the first guest, IU really won! Her new song "Peach" has won countless fans, which is a good proof of her creative ability. The duet of "Spring Love Cherry Blossom" with Jin Shiming fully demonstrated her rogue voice and excellent singing skills, and won the public's recognition. Before this, most people tended to regard IU as an idol singer. Well, now, at least some people have changed their minds and are willing to regard IU as an essential singer with qualified singing skills. The most direct manifestation is that the trailer for IU's personal single "Twenty Years Old Spring" and the promotional video for the short music film quickly achieved millions of views after they were released online, including many overseas users.
For the people of the Peninsula, whose national character is a mixture of inferiority and arrogance, after receiving a lot of flattery from the Americans, wouldn't they be so excited that they would beat drums and gongs, wishing the whole world could see it? Since Kim Se-myung is not from the Peninsula, these boasters naturally selectively downplayed the incident and focused on praising IU. "There is no doubt that our peninsula has the strongest cultural soft power in the world! KPOP is taking the world by storm!" "I am an IU fan, and I am very grateful to Jin Shiming for giving IU the opportunity to show her singing skills. She is really a very hardworking singer who values her fans very much!" "Compared to Kim Se Myung's stable performance, IU's performance amazed me even more! LOEN should quickly arrange for IU to go to the US, the Grammy Awards are waving at her!" "Ah, I'm going crazy! Why did IU's concert tickets sell out so quickly? Why don't they schedule more shows?" "Lee Ji-eun xi is the pride of our country. She definitely deserves the praise of the national female solo singer. After all, even fans in Europe and the United States recognize her strength." “kkk~~~ Some netizens can just keep it to themselves if they are not satisfied! Our Jieun is now famous overseas, do you worry that you have such influence?” Seeing IU's commercial value skyrocketing and receiving numerous endorsements and advertisements, LOEN is making a fortune, and their peers are naturally envious. But they also know that IU's career soared this time basically thanks to Kim Semyung and "THE FIREST TAKE". To be honest, the boosting effect is even more powerful than the year-end stages of the three major TV stations! As a result, people in the industry began to move around, trying to get on an episode of "THE FIREST TAKE" and enjoy the same ascension package as IU. As long as they can be a guest for one episode, not to mention that Jin Shiming doesn't pay them the announcement fee, they can even pay money to BD Entertainment. However, there are many artists applying to be guests, but only a few are actually chosen by Jin Shiming. Jin Shiming was not dazzled by the performance of "THE FIREST TAKE". He was very clear that the threshold for selecting guests would directly affect the reputation and credibility of the show. What he wants to do is to give "THE FIREST TAKE" a golden signboard of "singer's singing skills are exempt from inspection certification." In the future, as long as a guest appears on a show, even if the audience has not watched the specific content, they will subconsciously recognize his or her singing skills and think that it would be impossible for him or her to appear on the show without such skills. On the contrary, if the guests are a mixed bag and their levels are uneven, the program will lose all its class and become a music program with no highlights at all. For this reason, Jin Shiming is not worried about someone "borrowing" the program's ideas or format.
He has already taken the first-mover advantage. As long as he maintains the level and quality of the program, the audience will surely prefer "THE FIREST TAKE" rather than other competitors that follow suit. …… After the first episode of THE FIREST TAKE was released, countless fans who subscribed to the channel urged for updates every day, looking forward to the arrival of the second episode. However, BD Entertainment seemed to be disconnected from the Internet, ignoring the overwhelming traffic and popularity, and there was no new development after a week. Fans don’t understand, and colleagues in the industry are so heartbroken that they can hardly breathe. This is like the bike you are reluctant to ride, and someone else stands up and pedals hard, how uncomfortable! Finally, just when the fans were almost going crazy, the channel updated the second episode's promotional video without any warning. The fans, who were finally able to see the long-awaited rain, immediately clicked on the video. The video was not long, only a dozen seconds. A very catchy chorus with a very beautiful melody. And appearing in the center of the screen was Jin Shiming wearing headphones. And the top girl of SM company, BoA! The comment section immediately became lively. "Great, it's a Japanese song, our island audience is saved!" “Is this the previously revealed collaboration song between Kim Se Myung and BoA?” "This song "Xia Xia" doesn't seem to have been officially released. Where can I listen to the full version?" "So the second guest is BoA? Snake fans are ecstatic!" "The program team is trying to smuggle in some ulterior motives, right? I suggest you step up your game and give it more. It's good to watch!" “Why does the official release of the second episode have to wait another day? I’ve already started playing the chorus of this new song on repeat in my head!” "Hurry up and check out BD Entertainment's official Instagram account. It's a big news!" …… Almost at the same time as the second trailer of "THE FIREST TAKE" was released, the official account of BD Entertainment released an announcement on various Instagram platforms. The first thing that comes into view is a cover poster. There is a Chinese character "夏" (summer) printed in the center of the cover, and the overall design can be seen as a continuation of Jin Shiming's previous album "春". In the lower right corner of the poster, there is a date: . With just this one picture, netizens realized that something big was coming! "Great! Is Shiming oppa going to release a new album? Totally looking forward to it!" "You predicted that there would be an album called 'Summer'. You are amazing!" "If releasing the album Spring in the spring was a coincidence, and now adding the newly announced album Summer, is it enough to prove that there will definitely be two more albums, Fall and Winter?" "Isn't it crazy to make four seasonal albums based on the concept of the four seasons and then release them in the corresponding seasons?" "So, that song 'Xia Xia' is actually a song included in Jin Shiming's new album?"
"Jin Shiming is too low-key, and BD Entertainment is really good at hiding. Why didn't you suddenly announce your comeback on June 6th?" "Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this new album. Even though the song 'Xia Xia' is in Japanese, it's just as good!" "I'm going to work part-time during the summer vacation to save money. I'm afraid I'll have to buy a few of Oppa's albums this year!" (End of this chapter)
