Chapter 319 Conquering the Audience
“Wow!”
The audience in the audience couldn’t help but let out bursts of exclamations.
In front of the TV, countless TV viewers also looked straight at it.
I have never seen such a hot dance!
On the stage, Jiang Sehua wore a tight short skirt and danced the same dance moves as HyunA. Compared with HyunA's later twerking, the scale of this set of moves was still a little conservative.
But when "TroubleMaker" was first released in 2012, this set of dance moves received unanimous praise from Koreans. HyunA also relied on this dance to become the sexy goddess in the Korean group.
But now it is 2007, and the dance of Korean groups has not evolved to that level. At that time, the girl group could only wear shorts or short skirts, which was already the limit of standards.
The shorts mentioned here are not the kind of hot pants that are above the thighs. From today's perspective, the street photos of the beautiful Internet celebrities on Chunxi Road in Chengdu are much better dressed than the girl groups at that time. .
For the audience in 2007, the level of makeup and dancing in "TroubleMaker" was really amazing.
What's more, these are Chinese audiences. They have never seen this kind of posture before!
Before 2007, the main way for Hallyu to invade the Chinese market was through movies and TV dramas. The market for Korean songs was much smaller than that for movies and TV dramas. Even the more popular Korean songs were from movies and TV dramas. Theme song or interlude.
It was not until the rise of second-generation girl groups that Korean groups began to become popular in the Chinese market, which also led to the popularity of Korean pop songs in the Chinese market.
With the popularity of Korean groups, those charming Korean brothers and Korean ladies who twerk their butts have become the targets of Chinese young people.
Next, Korean clothing, Korean cosmetics, and Korean fried chicken have become the darlings of Chinese consumers. Even the sales of Hyundai cars have been rising, and traveling to South Korea has become the choice of many people. .
It would be too superficial if we just regard the invasion of Hallyu as Korean stars conquering cities and territories in the entertainment industry. The real Korean Wave invasion affects you in all aspects of life, including food, clothing, housing, transportation and even cultural cognition, and even assimilates you.
Fortunately, Chinese civilization has always been a strong culture. It is impossible for a weak culture to be assimilated by a strong culture. Throughout history, it has always been the strong culture that has assimilated the weak culture.
Getting back to the subject, in July 2007, the second-generation girl group had just emerged in South Korea. WonderGirls only released one single, and Girls’ Generation had to wait until next month to debut. The other second-generation girls The group is still a trainee. Even the most Korean young people in China have not seen the power of the second-generation girl group.
So when the song "TroubleMaker" appeared, this cross-generational performance immediately amazed everyone.
The audience at the scene was amazed and amazed, and in front of the TV, countless viewers were also looking at the TV screen intently, for fear that they would miss the wonderful shots in a blink of an eye.
After all, this is the best track during the peak Korean wave period. For audiences of this era, it is like seeing the 3D version of Avatar in the cinema in 2000, and their jaws will definitely drop.
Ordinary audiences just watch the excitement, while professionals watch for the secrets.
In the guest rest area, several dance teachers who had just finished their performance looked at the TV screen, and they all stayed on the spot. This was the first time for them to see this unique performance method.
The dance choreography of Korean pop music groups originally focuses on rhythm, and coupled with a suitable Korean song, the expressive power is really strong!
K-POP dance performances do not mind the repetition of movements. A set of moves can appear many times in a song, but this set of moves must be very distinctive and expressive. The kind of force.
Just like the horseback riding dance in Uncle Psy's "Gangnam Style", it's just a few simple movements, but combined with the melody, it's easy to remember after repeating it several times.
In order to increase the expressiveness of dance, many choreographers will even design some large-scale movements, such as turning their backs to you, turning their heads and twisting their buttocks in circles, which is one of the classic movements. Many of them Korean girl groups have this kind of move in their dances.
This kind of choreography has really never been seen by domestic dancers.
At this moment, several dancers resting backstage suddenly discovered that the dance could be choreographed like this!
Although I don’t understand what this Korean song is about, the stage performance is really strong!
This is also the feeling of all the audience. What they can understand is probably the phrase "TroubleMaker" that appears repeatedly in the song. But the strong sense of stage impact can actually be felt.
Girls with hot figures, wearing tight skirts, dancing passionately on the stage are a visual feast in itself.
What’s more, there is also very rhythmic music.
Many viewers were only focused on watching the young ladies dance, and did not notice that the music melody of this song itself was also of very good quality.
Xinshadong Tiger is indeed a very talented musician. His song "TroubleMaker" skillfully combines pop, dance music, hip-hop and other music elements. This style is popular in A few years later, it also became the mainstream of K-POP.
The performance of "TroubleMaker" ended, and the audience screamed like never before.
That’s right, not cheers, not applause, nor shouts, but screams!
Before this, no matter how wonderful the performance was or how nice the singing was, the audience never had this kind of reaction.
Obviously, this time "TroubleMaker" is not just a wonderful performance for the live audience, but more like a shot of adrenaline, which makes people energetic and excited.
The viewers in front of the TV picked up their mobile phones one after another and started voting. This is probably the only way they can express their support.
Let’s not talk about whether this song is good or not, and whether you can understand it. Just talk about this beautiful girl dancing on the stage in a tight miniskirt. Shouldn’t you vote for it?
Scenes like this are not seen in domestic entertainment variety shows. Even the young ladies who lead dances in nightclubs in big cities rarely dance like this, twisting and turning, and rarely dance like this to deliberately show off their good figures.
What's more, this dancer's figure is really good, even better than most female stars in the country.
This dance alone is enough to make Jiang Shihua a sexy goddess in the minds of countless young people, and another otaku killer is about to be born.
……
Backstage, the program planner's expression became embarrassed again, and the performance of the audience showed that they were conquered.
Although he is not a music major, he has done variety shows for so many years, and he can still tell the difference between good and bad shows. Apart from anything else, when the young lady was dancing just now, he himself couldn't take his eyes off it. After watching it, he still felt unsatisfied. Even he, who is biased against Zhang Wei, thinks the show is very good. How could the audience not give it good reviews?
The planner subconsciously glanced at the latest SMS support data and saw that Zhang Wei’s votes were rising rapidly, and the rising momentum was getting stronger and stronger, quickly surpassing the other three The players are left behind.
"How could this happen!" The planner's eyes became hollow, and his whole person was filled with one word: mourning!
I thought that arranging a Korean dance partner for Zhang Wei would definitely be a fatal start. Leaving aside communication, the dance partners of the other three contestants are all well-known dancers, while Zhang Wei's Korean dance partner is an unknown transparent person.
But I didn’t expect Zhang Wei’s performance to be so amazing. The unknown Korean dance partner turned out to be the most beautiful guy on the stage with his sexy dance.
Originally, it was supposed to be a burden to Zhang Wei, but now it has become Zhang Wei’s greatest help.
“You arranged Zhang Wei’s dance partner, right?” Music Director Hu Li’s voice sounded from the side.
"She signed a contract with Haotian Entertainment last year. Haotian Entertainment has always had business dealings with us, so we let her appear on the show." The planner decisively passed the blame to the business dealings, so that even if the decision was made, The problem is also a business need, not his mistake.
Hu Li said, "I don't think this Korean should be arranged to be Zhang Wei's dance partner. For Korean actresses, the acceptable dance scale will definitely be larger. If it were replaced by other dancers, they probably wouldn't be able to accept this." The performance scale, the outfit, and the dance moves are a bit like the performance style of a hot girl in a nightclub.”
Famous dancers all have a strong style, even if they want to show off their own. To be sexy, you have to take the elegant route, and you can't be as coquettish as a nightclub dancer.
After realizing this, the planner felt even worse. I dare to give this assist to Zhang Wei!
Is there anything worse than a goalkeeper passing the ball to the opposing forward?
Of course, for example, the one who passed the ball to the opponent's forward was the Chinese team goalkeeper.
...
At the end of the performance, Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief as he listened to the screams of the audience around him. The audience had already told him through their actions that this was a very amazing performance.
Although my dance partner is not a professional dancer and his understanding of dance is far inferior to that of several other dance teachers, in terms of dancing, Korean stars have the advantage of Korean stars.
As we all know, Korean idols all start as trainees, undergo years of professional training, and then pass selection before they can finally debut.
Domestic entertainment is different. In 2007, there was no trainee system in domestic entertainment. Except for a few celebrities who were amateurs, the others all had professional backgrounds. Film and television stars learn acting, singers learn vocal music, and even cross talk has special training schools.
In contrast, Korean idols are trained in a pure assembly line way. From the beginning as a trainee, to passing through layers of selection, to successfully debuting, and finally becoming famous, each level is an assembly line, and each level is an assembly line. Each assembly line will eliminate some people, and those who successfully advance will enter the next stage of the assembly line.
As a Korean artist, your songs, your dances, your looks, what style of clothes you should wear, and even your personality are all decided by the agency.
It is no exaggeration to say that if your agency assigns you a curvy persona, even if you are straight, you still have to pretend to be curvy in public.
So Korean idols are a group of mindless machines. You have to do whatever the agency asks you to do, and you have to do whatever the agency asks you to do.
I often see girls from Korean troupes performing in very cold weather wearing very few clothes, or jumping up and down on the stage wearing high heels that are more than ten centimeters tall. Fans will say, you Look at how dedicated my idols are. They are still shirtless and showing their thighs in such a cold weather. How hard they work!
In fact, do you think they don't want to put on their coats, minks, and woolen trousers? This is all forced by the brokerage company, and it won’t work if we don’t do it.
And the submissive culture in Korea also makes artists dare not say no. In Korean culture, subordinates are unconditionally helpless towards their superiors. The older ones can bully the younger ones. If you dare to disobey, they will whip you without any discussion. It is precisely because of this culture that there are so many bullying incidents in South Korea.
This kind of culture is placed in the entertainment industry, that is, low-level artists have no say at all and must unconditionally obey the agency, even if the agency arranges for you to wear revealing clothes and perform some large-scale dances; even if the agency arranges for you to wear revealing clothes and perform some large-scale dances; Even if they arrange for you to go to the training bureau or even do some indescribable things, the artist does not dare to resist and can only obey.
As for those famous artists, even if they can say no to the brokerage company, there will be bigger financial backers and even plutocratic forces behind them. They still can't resist except committing suicide.
Today’s culture has made Zhang Wei more convenient.
The dance performance of "TroubleMaker" is considered to be relatively large-scale in Korean entertainment, but Korean stars will not say no. Even if they feel disgusted, they will grit their teeth and insist on finishing the performance.
If you were a dancer in the domestic entertainment industry, even a newbie who is not famous would still be having fun with you.
Korean stars really haven’t said much about obedience.
......
The success of Hallyu in China is not luck or coincidence. To be fair, Hallyu is indeed unique in pleasing the audience.
In the era without big data, Koreans could know what audiences like to watch through information collection and analysis. What do you like to listen to, so that you can make adjustments to suit the audience's taste in the shortest possible time.
The popular songs of the years when the Korean Wave was most popular may not have high artistic value, but they are definitely in line with the audience's taste, and many of them are even brainwashing songs.
It is precisely because the songs are enough brainwashing that even if Chinese people do not understand what is being sung in the lyrics, Hallyu can still occupy half of domestic entertainment. In the end, we must rely on policies to suppress the Korean Wave.
But now, these Chinese audiences who have not experienced the baptism of Hallyu, how can they resist the fairy songs from the most prosperous period of Hallyu!
Especially the vast number of young people, who are the group who watch the most Korean dramas and are also the group who have the most direct exposure to Korean culture. Now that they encounter this song "TroubleMaker", it is not an exaggeration to say that they are instantly addicted.
This is the most authentic Korean pop song, full of Korean style, a trend, a fashion, and a vane of entertainment! Compared with this song "TroubleMaker", the performances of the previous few people are simply rubbish!
The audience's favorability towards Zhang Wei increased instantly. In this dance music competition, the audience's impression of the other contestants was completely washed away by the song "TroubleMaker". The only thing in the audience's mind was the young lady dancing in a tight skirt.
This cannot be blamed on the young people from Kazakhstan. Which of those young people from Kazakhstan back then are not the mainstay of society now?
The blame lies with domestic entertainment at that time. It was indeed lagging behind and out of touch with the market to a certain extent.
In that era, except Jay Chou, who could guarantee that he was capable of resisting the Korean Wave?
