Damn Idol Episode 116
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Of course, I know what a photo card is.
But it's a bit surprising that it's such an important product.
In the first place, I was a person who did not want to sell MD even when I was working for For the Youth.
There must be limits to fans' wallets, and I'm afraid that if they buy goods, they won't have enough money to buy the album.
Of course, if you want, you can sell goods and albums together.
By releasing limited edition goods and organizing them into albums and packages.
They can even make album sales go down by making it impossible to buy the goods individually.
However, there is a high probability that this will not be included in the album sales counted by the devil.
[If you try to own someone's moment as a commodity that can be exchanged for anything in the world, that is offering, worship, and conquest.]
The devil's definition of album counting.
According to this definition, purchases that are not truly intended to be owned are not counted.
This means that there is no point in living your life grumbling, even though you know you are being played by commercial tactics.
You have to buy it because you want it.
In that sense, fan signing events are the same.
I remember that in order to come to For the Youth's fan signing event, I had to buy more than 100 albums.
Is it about 130 pages?
It's probably right.
Because I remember things related to album sales very well.
But that doesn't mean the devil counts all 130 cards.
This varies depending on the fans' preferences.
Someone may buy 30 tickets as a sincere fan and be forced to buy the remaining 100 tickets because of a fan signing event.
Then only 30 cards are counted.
However, someone else may have thought that one album was enough, but bought 129 copies for the fan signing event.
Then, only 1 card is counted.
So I have to make the album better than anything else.
Even if you buy our album for the purpose of going to a fan signing event, it must be of a quality that can be given as a pleasant gift to someone.
The person who received the gift was so moved after listening to our album that he bought our next album.
Moreover, it should not be an album that is listened to once and then forgotten, but rather an album that is remembered and listened to periodically.
Then the album will sell steadily.
Pink Floyd's
It's not 949 days, it's 949 weeks.
Even if you count the number of years, it is a whopping 18 years.
There is no way this can be about marketing or an issue.
It's just the power of the music and the organic nature of the album.
Because I was aiming for this, I always only paid attention to the quality of the album, but I didn't know much about merchandise or fan culture.
I probably knew it to some extent when I was with For the Youth, but more than a hundred years have already passed.
I had no idea I would come back to K-pop again, so there was no way I would have remembered it.
So the stories the members told were fascinating.
"Then there is the tribute culture, and if we tie it in with the birthday cafe… … ."
I listened quietly to the story, but I couldn't understand one thing, so I opened my mouth.
"I know there is such a thing, but is it true that all fandoms do that? Not a specific fandom or a specific group?"
"Of course we should all do it."
"No, I mean, even unpopular groups are like that?"
"yes. The less popular something is, the more you have to focus on fan culture. "I'm so thankful for that small number of fandoms."
okay?
"Haven't you heard of Yunan?"
"Is that possible? "Why is that so unusual?"
After listening to the story, I realized what I had been most mistaken about.
I thought that after becoming popular, I should gather core fans.
In other words, I thought that the music should be widely known first and then the singer should be known.
Billboards are just like this.
If you gain popularity in the LA underground, your song will slowly appear on LA local radio.
If the song gets more popular, it will now be on California radio, spread to neighboring states, and target the billboards with marketing.
Around this time, an agency will be attached to film a music video or appear on a talk show, and the singer's stardom will have significance at this time.
Until then, music is the most important thing.
Of course, success was not necessarily achieved through this method.
There may be signs of it now, but once the coronavirus period passes, there will be visual stars who debut on Instagram or TikTok.
Also, there are people who succeed by pushing a specific concept.
The song is a sexy R&B tune, but when I actually see it, it looks like a handsome nerd or something.
But still, American agencies traditionally prefer radio airplay to succeed.
Singers like me who are racially disadvantaged have no choice but to focus on the radio.
So, I tried to follow the same path to success in Korea.
From under the streetlight to Resume.
Wasn't it going smoothly?
But if you look closely, K-pop idols are a bit different from this format.
Rather than forming a fandom after gaining popularity, we go with the fandom from the beginning.
In a way, it feels like you can rise to stardom because you have a fandom.
So, my idea of taking care of the fandom after success is wrong.
There is no need to be stubborn about this.
Certain cultures have certain rules, and you have to respect them.
"I understand. "So what should we do?"
"I think we need to first confirm the official website and official website, and then recruit fan clubs."
"also? "Speak freely."
Members began to pour out their opinions.
There was also talk about V App, which I know, recruitment for the first fan club, goods to be provided to fan club members, especially Pocamore, and the upload cycle on official SNS.
"But Zion. Will V App accept us? That's not something anyone can broadcast. "I'm worried about Ryan too."
I shook my head at Lee Ion's words.
"Choi Dae-ho's power won't work there."
Like music sites, isn't it run by a large company?
"But there is a possibility that they will not accept us because of their own standards."
As far as I know, only celebrities can participate in V App, but it is difficult to consider Sedalbaekil as a celebrity.
Because Sedalbaekil does not have an agency and has never appeared on a music show.
Although awareness is high, it is unlikely that large companies will grant permission based on the abstract standard of awareness.
There will definitely be some conditions.
But it doesn't matter.
An idea came to me while listening to the members' stories.
"I have a good idea."
"What?"
"We are creating an app."
"Are you saying we want to turn the public homepage into an app?"
"no. If you're going to make it, it has to be on a larger scale than that. "I'm trying to develop an app that can do all the ideas I mentioned earlier."
A real-time streaming function is also included, you can communicate through messages, and members can upload photos.
In addition, the schedule is announced, advance tickets for performances are available, and a space is created for fans to post proof shots.
I think I can just hit them all.
Of course, I don't think it would be a good idea to keep all activities here.
From what I hear, fans seem to like doing things on their own.
For example, hanging a photo on an outdoor billboard in the subway, making donations together, running a birthday cafe, etc.
So, except for the things that are more enjoyable for fans to do on their own, I think it would be enough to just make it an app feature.
"What did you say earlier? Tapkku? A space to make and sell them, or a space to exchange poker... … ."
No, now that I think about it, is there really a need to make people exchange poker cards?
We should just allow fans to buy the poker they want.
I don't want to make people talk about the price of each Poca member member.
It's not a good idea to be sarcastic and spend money until you get the poker you want.
Of course, there may be fans who like that, but I don't like it.
Even if you buy goods, shouldn't you buy them in a pleasant way at a reasonable price?
I felt like my head was spinning a bit, so I took out my phone and was jotting down ideas when Onsaemiro asked.
"Wouldn't it take too long to put it all in?"
"To create an app?"
"huh. And I don't know, but I heard there are a lot of errors if you make it in a hurry."
That can't be possible.
How fast are Korean developers doing?
Even when I was working at Billboard, I used to request things like this from Korea, who ignore work-life balance as long as they give me money.
Korean developers are the ones who make impossible things possible at five times the market price.
When I said they would pay me 10 times if I finished it in 10 days, 9 times if I finished it in 11 days, and 8 times if I finished it in 12 days, which company nodded and said, "I'll pay you 10 times."
I did really well there.
For reference, I remember being told that they would give me 11 times the amount after completing development in 9 days.
There are many things money can't buy, but at least it's not apps.
While I was searching for a company with that in mind, Eddie received an international call.
A long time.
I asked the virtuosos to deliver the song, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
Because we know how it will go anyway.
Still, out of courtesy, I should ask, right?
"Have you delivered all the music?"
-What kind of agency manager am I? Ask as soon as you answer the phone?
Oh, is that so?
But it seems like you're trying too hard to say that.
-I've only been able to deliver it to four people yet. There are three people left.
It seems to be a bit slow as I meet musicians while handling the documentary filming schedule.
Well, you can understand.
"Then what happened?"
-Do you know what a color show is?
"Color show? "Produced by Colors Media?"
-that's right. Do you see Ana?
Of course I know.
COLORS.
A music platform operated by COLORS MEDIA, a media content company based in Berlin, Germany.
Even though Colors is a music platform, visual beauty is the core value of the platform, and 'A Colors Show' is something that has been developed with considerable effort.
Commonly known as color show.
This is quite attractive content.
A visual beauty created solely by the beauty of color without any stage equipment.
A short song of about 5 minutes.
100% live.
Should we say that this is content that competes solely on pure singing ability without anything that dazzles the eye?
As far as I know, there will be no Korean artists appearing in the color show in 2017.
There will be appearances soon, but it will be R&B artists, not K-pop artists.
I don't know why this happens either.
Does Color Show hate K-pop idols, or is it just because they don't fit the show's concept?
Anyway, color shows are still popular content.
The number of subscribers to the YouTube channel is probably over 3 million, and the number of views is in the tens of millions.
But it hasn't really grown yet.
After about 3-4 years, the number of subscribers will exceed 10 million, and a hit video will easily reach 100 million views.
Thanks to this, there are people who rise to stardom through this content.
"I know. But why is that?"
-There were some Colors Media staff members in the documentary team filming this time.
"huh."
-Somehow, those people ended up showing interest in your music. They asked me if I wanted to appear, and I said yes.
Since I only speak Korean, I thought I was confused about English tenses.
"You said there was one?"
-uh.
"why?"
-It's a good opportunity.
Didn't I tell you a little while ago not to treat me like a manager?
