Chapter 44: Release of Manifesto As the person involved, Jin Shiming is of course very concerned about this major event. In fact, the situation has evolved to its current scale with the help of Jin Shiming behind the scenes. His foundation is too shallow, and he lacks connections and resources. If he wants to gain a foothold on the peninsula in one fell swoop, he must take some risks and get involved. To some extent, he did take advantage of the simple national sentiments of the Chinese people. However, if this opportunity can be successful, it will be a small contribution to KPOP fans in the mainland and trainees who want to come to the peninsula in the future. The next afternoon, the daily charts of major music websites in the peninsula were released one after another. On several major websites including Melon, "Spring Love Sakura" topped the daily and real-time charts. Using the terminology of Peninsula's fan circle, "Haru Ai Sakura" not only achieved the goal of Kuichi, but also completed the achievement of ALL KILL! It was not until then that Jin Shiming used his personal certified account to publish a long article on major social platforms on the peninsula and in China, responding positively for the first time. "Hello everyone, I am Jin Shiming. I am honored that so many friends like the song "Spring Love Sakura". First of all, I have to thank my friend IU who I just met. If it weren't for her, maybe there wouldn't be this song that you all heard..." The beginning of a long article is often filled with formulaic clichés.
The key content lies in the following. "Compared to many of the trainees on Bandwagon, I am undoubtedly luckier. I got the chance to debut after only a few months of training..." From the perspective of someone who has experienced it, Jin Shiming deeply exposes the cruelty of the Peninsula trainee system and the difficulty of wanting to debut. He did not play pity or complain, but instead put himself in the same camp as the majority of trainees and artists. "There are actually quite a few KPOP fans in mainland China, and their love and support for their idols is no less than that of fans in the peninsula. However, the genuine albums that these fans have finally bought through purchasing agents are regarded as goods with unrecognizable barcodes..." At this point, Jin Shiming revealed his true colors and talked about the many unfair treatments suffered by fans in mainland China. "But, as we all know, the G Chart and H Chart do not include this part of the album sales in the list. Even many artists from the Peninsula do not know how much their mainland fans have contributed to the sales, so naturally they cannot get this part of the share..." "A few years ago, under the supervision of the Peninsula Fair Trade Commission, major brokerage companies revised the agreements of their artists, shortening the contract period to a maximum of 7 years and lowering the compensation standards. However, due to relevant regulations, foreign trainees can add an additional 7 years to the 3-year contract..." "In addition, the core of a slave agreement is the profit-sharing ratio. Many companies in the industry..." Our predecessors have long taught us the experience of struggle: to win over one group, to divide another group, and to suppress another group. Jin Shiming's remarks were undoubtedly intended to "sow discord". He exposed the dark side and unspoken rules behind the industry, which would naturally offend the capital and big companies on the peninsula. But when it comes to the issue of personal income, the artist group and their fans can at least remain neutral, if not stand up to support Jin Shiming. As for what his demands were and what rights he wanted to fight for, Jin Shiming did not elaborate. Don’t worry, let the bullet fly for a while, and by then there will be a “great scholar” who will debate for Jin Shiming! "It was not my intention to occupy public resources. If it has caused any adverse effects, I feel deeply guilty. All the sound source income generated by "Spring Love Sakura" will be donated to charity organizations around the world, which can be regarded as a thank you for your love." Jin Shiming is well aware of the truth that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Donating this money can earn him a good reputation and gain more support. "Finally, I am very sorry to all my fans who support me. Due to force majeure, I am temporarily unable to perform on any stage and will not appear on any TV programs!" "Next, I will focus on producing more excellent songs, and look forward to collaborating with other outstanding artists in the future." This part of the statement is Jin Shiming's way of creating a character for himself, creating a mysterious, pure, talented, "beautiful, strong and tragic" image. At the same time, Jin Shiming was also indirectly hinting to his peers that he was taking a different track and would not really hinder them from making money from their idols. Not only do their interests not conflict, on the contrary, there is actually room for cooperation.
A Qudie who has his own popularity and fame and has the Chinese market as his backing, not to mention small and medium-sized enterprises, even large companies will inevitably be attracted to him! No matter that Jin Shiming just exposed their secrets and tried to make things difficult for them, as long as Jin Shiming can bring them real profits, this "ancestral law" can be changed, and they can still love their mainland fans! In the very end, Jin Shiming sneaked in his own product and advertised BD Entertainment and his subsequent second mini album "Spring". After posting the long article, as a way of thanking domestic fans for their help, Jin Shiming uploaded the cover version of "Turn Back Time" with new music and lyrics to domestic music software for free. A large number of traditional Chinese instruments are used in the arrangement, and the style is more inclined towards the ancient domestic style, while the lyrics are uniquely written in Cantonese. This Cantonese cover version was named "Fei Fei" by Jin Shiming. It has a different flavor compared to "Back in Time" sung by LYn. …… As soon as the long article came out, it had the explosive effect of a manifesto. What’s interesting is that, apart from the VIPs who have already had a feud with each other, many Peninsula fans have reached a consensus with mainland fans and united behind Jin Shiming! "I don't have feelings for Chinese people, but Jin Shiming is right about one thing. Some sweatshops really don't treat artists as human beings! They have to work themselves to death all year long, and after the settlement, they still owe the company a lot of money!" "Name SM, Lee Soo Man, give me back the complete Daedong Group!" "No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. We strongly demand that Zhonglu be included in the overall sales list! The relevant data must be made public, and the company must not deduct the corresponding share of the artist!" "Regards to Xiba Land Company! According to reliable sources, Jin Shiming developed stage fright during the period when he was sent to Japan for activities, so he was unable to participate in the music promotion activities!" "Those who slander Jin Shiming, do you really have a conscience? Such a musician with high moral character, sincerity, kindness and love, even if he is not from the Peninsula, is still worthy of respect!" "How can Semyung Oppa not be a Korean? He was born with Korean blood, grew up in the Korean Peninsula, and graduated from Seoul University. He can be considered a Korean!" "Wait a minute, so 'Haru Ai Sakura' is actually a first release, and there will be a mini album to follow?" "Why do Chinese fans get special rewards, but our Peninsula fans don't? It's not fair!" "It's really unfair! I strongly request that the Chinese version of the album be released. I will rush to buy it when it comes out and will place an order for 100 copies directly!" "He really made me cry to death!" "Love! Faith! Wait!" (End of this chapter)
