Chapter 74 SM's No. Sister As April approaches, Jin Shiming and his album "Spring" still dominate the peninsula's music scene. In terms of music sources, he occupied most of the top ten seats on the Gua Chart, and even four of the top five. The only song that broke Kim Se Myung's monopoly was not from BIGBANG, whose music source lacked stamina, but from Busker Busker, a band that had just released its first full-length album. Busker Busker, who debuted as the runner-up in "Super StarK 3", has received considerable attention in the peninsula. Their first album was written by all members and has a unique style. As soon as the album was released, several songs included in it topped the major music charts, and even the sales were quite gratifying, not inferior to those of popular idol groups. Interestingly, Busker Buske's album coincides with Jin Shiming's, choosing the feeling of spring as its theme. The title song "Sakura Ending" is a seasonal song that is very suitable for listening to in spring. It is as warm and cheerful as the spring sunshine, bringing people a feeling of happiness. On the Melon daily chart, "Spring Love Sakura", "Spring Day", and "Sakura Ending" are firmly in the top three, leading by a cliff-like margin!
The trend of listening to spring songs in spring swept across the entire peninsula, subtly influencing the listening habits of the people on the peninsula. Practitioners in the peninsula's music industry have begun to pay attention to spring, which was previously regarded as an off-season. There are many companies that are quick to follow the trend. After collecting a song with a similar style, they let their artists return quickly, trying to take advantage of the popularity of this spring song. In terms of sales, the cumulative sales of "Spring" have exceeded 250,000. Among them, mainland China alone contributed a staggering sales volume of 100,000! Facts have proved that the market potential in the mainland is quite huge, but it has never been taken seriously and fully developed. Jin Shiming had the right time, place and people, which greatly increased the upper limit of China's losses. In the mainland of the peninsula, Jin Shiming, whose reputation was greatly boosted by the children's playground incident, also saw a significant increase in album sales. If the replenishment speed could not keep up with the demand, the sales volume would have approached the 300,000 mark by now. According to estimates by industry veterans, Jin Shiming's second mini album "Spring" will most likely sell between 350,000 and 400,000 copies in the first month. If this sales volume was put on last year's G Chart, only Girls' Generation's "THE BOYS", which sold copies a year, could barely compete with it! The problem is that it's only March now, and there are still nine months left in this year. Even if this album lacks stamina, it can at least sell tens of thousands of copies, right? In other words, unless Girls' Generation, which has reached the top of the list, breaks through themselves again and returns with an album before the second half of the year, or a miracle happens to the music industry in the peninsula, the title of KPOP's annual best-selling album will be a mystery long before it's revealed. As expected, the new week's music show saw a competition between "Spring Love Sakura" and "Spring Day". Despite not being able to participate in the live promotions and the unfavorable conditions of severe ticket split between the two songs, Kim Se Myung still won the first place in this week's "M! Countdown", "Music Bank" and "Inkigayo". High emotional intelligence, but only got three first places, still needs to work harder. Low emotional intelligence, he has taken everything he can, and there is no room for improvement. Haven’t you seen that BIGBANG has fallen to the point where they have to rely on two music shows, “M! Countdown” and “The Show”, which are not very valuable, to barely maintain the dignity of a boy band. The YouTube data that the VIP boasted about before has now been ignored. No one is talking about it anymore, otherwise it would be a complete humiliation to themselves. In short, after several revisions, VIP's adaptive rhetoric has become "Brothers don't need results to prove themselves", "This return is to give back to fans", "The chicken coop is garbage, and the chrysanthemums are incompetent", "It's reassuring to be neither hot nor cold", "Don't come for fame when you're at your peak, and don't turn around and leave when you're at your lowest", and so on. ……
Jin Shiming, who no longer needs to promote his songs, appear on variety shows, hold autograph sessions, or even have very few business activities, has a lot of free time after releasing his album. Fortunately, he owns his own company and is the boss, so he has the right to be so "willful". If he were an artist in other companies, he would have to be carried on stage even if he had a fever of 40 degrees and his legs were shattered. A vampire like Lee Soo Man might kneel down and beg Kim Se Myung not to die, and if he has to die, he must complete his journey before dying. It just so happens that the company can release a commemorative album, and finally add another wave of leeks! What is intriguing is that just as Kim Se-myeong finished complaining about Lee Soo-man in his heart, SM company sent him an invitation for cooperation. Jin Shiming's current official identity is not only the boss and singer of BD Entertainment, but also a producer. After the album "Spring" became a huge hit, he received countless invitations. However, the invitation from SM company really surprised Jin Shiming. You know, as the leader in the industry, SM has always shown a cold and tough attitude. With well-known producers such as Yoo Young-jin and Kenzie, SM has a large number of songs in its music library, which is more than enough for self-production and sales. At worst, SM is more inclined to purchase the cover rights of some old songs in order to save money. It is really awkward for SM to invite producers from other companies in the Peninsula to write songs! However, after reading the email, Jin Shiming quickly understood why SM did such an abnormal thing. It was SM Entertainment that invited Jin Shiming to collaborate, but in reality, it was SM's top star BoA who made the decision! With the rise of younger generations such as Girls' Generation, BoA, as the top girl in the company, is undoubtedly in an awkward situation now. Even though this sister has debuted for more than ten years and is the first KPOP artist to enter Japan, her seniority is quite high, but she debuted early! Born in 86, Quan Baoer is only or years old at most, which is the prime of her youth. Even though her career focus has always been on the island country, BoA obviously does not want to retreat to the second line and give up her position as the top star. Girls' Generation is going to the United States this year, and BoA plans to release her seventh Korean album in the second half of the year. This comeback project is of great importance and BoA takes it very seriously. In order to increase the probability of success, she thought of inviting the most popular producer Jin Shiming to cooperate. Speaking of which, the two of them have some friendship. After Jin Shiming debuted in the island country last year, BoA, as a senior, helped promote him on the show, which can be regarded as a promotion to some extent. Jin Shiming also spoke across the air, expressing his love and gratitude to his senior. It’s a pity that the two have never met. Jin Shiming was somewhat looking forward to working with a big-name artist like BoA. If he can create a classic song and make BoA's comeback a big hit, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance his status as a talented producer. "I was worried before about who to find for the pre-release song of Summer, but now we have one." According to Jin Shiming's idea, he would collaborate with other artists on the pre-release songs of the four seasons' specials. First of all, it's to gain popularity and create some hype. Secondly, expand personal network and bring more business to BD Entertainment.
For the pre-release song of "Spring", "Spring Love Sakura", Jin Shiming collaborated with national sister IU, and the tone was quite high. However, if it was Sister Snake, there should be no pressure for her to be the second runner, right? (End of this chapter)
