Fucking Idol Episode 198

Then Onsemiro tilted his head after hearing what I said.

“Who’s stupid?”

“Who are you? Choi Dae-ho.”

“Why is Choi Max’s name suddenly mentioned? Because Mixway is under Ryan Entertainment?”

Come to think of it, naive Onsemi still doesn’t know much about the workings of show business.

The articles that Onsemiro has seen are evidence that Choi Max-ho put Mix Way in the same ring as Sedal Baekil.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for so many articles to link the first episode of Mixway with the first episode of Sedalbaekil.

That’s what the media is like.

What the media needs to become public opinion is numbers, and the easiest way to fill that gap is through internet articles.

“Everyone, come here.”

While I was at it, I explained to the members of Sedalbaekil that Choi Maxho had put Mixway and us in the same category.

As the story progressed, it turned out that Koo Tae-hwan already knew this fact, while Choi Jae-seong was hesitating.

It seems that only the innocent Onsemiro and Iion knew nothing.

“But is there a chance that we will lose in initial sales?”

“Yes. I can see that the fandom there is very close-knit. They also hold a lot of fan signing events.”

“But it’s still 680,000?”

“If you have a goal, you run towards it. That’s what makes a person a person.”

If our initial sales were 1.68 million, then 680,000 is a figure that could be reached.

And Mixway’s fandom will go crazy if the initial record is close to being reached.

Of course, I don’t think that kind of behavior is bad.

Fan signing events are something that entertainment companies should do naturally, and it’s something fans also want.

Besides, isn’t the fans’ support of Mixway purely out of fandom and goodwill?

There may be some who dislike Se-dal-baek-il, but there is no reason to be hostile to the entire Mix Way because of those few people.

I also don’t have any feelings for Mix Way.

What I find disappointing is Choi Dae-ho’s plan to boast about ‘winning 3 months and 100 days’ by inflating the initial sales figures through fan signing events.

But what… … .

I think that’s something worth doing too.

That’s the world of marketing.

“But why is Choi Ma-ho an idiot? Even though he could lose?”

“Did Zion call Choi Ma-ho an idiot?”

“Yes. After reading that article.”

Surprisingly, Lee Ion did not say, “But you shouldn’t call an adult an idiot.”

It seems that Choi Max-ho has been positioned as a clear enemy to Lee Ion.

Well, he is kind of an enemy.

hmm…….

If you think like this and find it funny, then you’re showing your age, right?

“Why are you so serious?”

“Huh? No. I thought of something else.”

“Why are you stupid?”

“I think Choi Max-ho overestimates his own influence.”

One thing you’ll notice if you stay in show business long enough is that there comes a point when successful promoters take the public for granted.

It’s not always like that, those who have been successful all along end up failing like that.

But the public is never easy.

Each individual is just an ordinary person, but when tens of thousands of people gather together, they become a giant wave.

And man cannot control the waves.

From this point of view, I thought Choi Ma-ho was a fool.

If we evaluate it objectively, Choi Max-ho’s plan is quite excellent.

Any indicator will have a mix that goes beyond three months and a hundred days, and it’s something to hang on to?

good night.

It could up the mix, and maybe suck up some of our buzz.

But we shouldn’t lump Mixway and us into a common category.

In particular, it should not be grouped into the category of music.

The public is not a group that gathers when told to and disperses when told to disperse.

Once tied for first-week sales, Mixway and Sedalbaekil’s music will be endlessly compared.

“Isn’t that too convenient?”

When Koo Tae-hwan heard what I said, he tilted his head and said so, but this was not a convenient thought.

Because from now on, I’m going to set the table like that.

“You’ll know when you wait.”

Well, I don’t know about Max Ho, but it won’t be a bad thing for Mix Way.

Because Ryan Entertainment will be giving its all-out support to win the 3-month 100-day campaign.

“Break time is over, now let’s get back to practicing.”

I nodded and stood up at Lee Ion’s words, who applauded.

Although the music show can only be performed on M Show and SBN, it’s not bad.

Because we can show a high-density stage in these two music rooms.

[Mixway’s initial sales surpass 3 months and 100 days!]

[Underdog Rebellion? Sales figures that surprised both the singer and the fandom.]

[2018 is the golden age of K-pop idols? Mixway is at the forefront.]

As soon as Mixway’s initial sales figures were tallied, articles poured in.

Most of the article was about Mixway winning three months and one day.

Although it was packaged differently with various perspectives and modifiers, the contents were the same.

The public reaction to this was split evenly.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋNo, what did you win?ㅋㅋㅋㅋLiar N’s ​​unfollow is disgusting.

-Underdog, lol. Indie band Sedalbaekil vs. Mix Way from a major entertainment agency.

-I also thought Mixway surpassed 3 Sedalbaekil units and 2 regular albums.

-It barely surpassed the sales of the second regular album. Even that wasn’t much of a difference.

-I know exactly how many albums were sold by holding fan signings…lol

– It seems like Solkka must have done some private prayer. There was a difference of about 30,000 at the end, but judging by the sudden increase in the number.

-Those figures aren’t released to the public?

-They even fabricate things because they want to find fault with something.

-Fabrication is something that needle singers do to their album sales lol

-If Sedalbaekil had held the same number of fan signings as before, they would have sold a million copies.

-The unit albums combined have already sold over 1 million copies.

-Oh, then 2 million copies.

-Anyway, the goods you gave away are the same for three months and one hundred days, right?

-Is the fan signing and goods the same?

-What else is different? lol Honestly, people bought a lot of Sedal Baekil’s first album because they gave out CD players.

-ㅇㅇ If there was no CDP, sales would have been halved…ㅋㅋ

On one hand, some said that Mixway’s initial tally of 3 months and 100 days was abnormal, while on the other hand, some said that 3 months and 100 days was no different.

In general opinion, there was a large majority of people who thought that Mixway’s initial numbers were inflated.

Because it was the opinion of the general public.

But while the public had their say, Mixway’s fandom gritted their teeth and took action in all directions.

That wasn’t all.

-ㅋㅋㅋIt looks good.

-Honestly, the timing has been good for Sedalbaekil up until now. I haven’t met any real competitors.

-You always took the scene and pretended to be a monthly clerk.

-Mixway This album is pretty good, huh?

-Sedalbaekil has a tendency to ignore K-pop fans. That’s why it’s not a fan pick.

-ㅇㅇ It’s a muggle pick, so even if the record is good, after a few years, all the core fans will leave and you won’t even remember it ㅋㅋ

-No need to overthink it haha. Just the mixed way album is better.

-That’s true.

During that time, fans of the group that suffered damages because of Sedalbaekil began to support Mixway.

They were bragging that Mixway had a better album than Sedalbaekil, and that Sedalbaekil had never met a competitor.

Of course, that was nonsense.

The first time Sedalbaekil became independent and won first place was because they competed with Drop Out and NOP.

But there was something people didn’t know.

Initial numbers are of course important.

It was a number that proved the power of the fandom, and it was also an indicator of how high this album would reach.

But on the other hand, some companies pour in a huge amount of marketing for that initial launch.

That’s why about 30 to 50 percent of the total album sales were sold in the first week.

however…….

The three months and one hundred days were different.

-No, that’s ridiculous. Why does Sedalbaegil get bullied all year long?

-What the heck?

– The first album of Sedal Baekil sold 220,000 copies. Total sales were 1.78 million. It’s still selling well. It seems like it will reach 2 million copies within this year.

-What is that?

-Mixway’s first album sold 190,000 copies in the first week. Total sales 360,000 copies. Tension sold 150,000 copies in the first week, total sales 280,000 copies. Okay?

-Don’t the fans of Sedalbaekil know that this is a problem? They always grab the hair of other groups.

-I’m not a fan of Sedalbaekil. Drop Out’s 3rd album sold 160,000 copies in the first week, and 890,000 in total sales. Takescene sold 60,000 copies in the first week, and 210,000 in total sales.

-I’m just saying that good albums will continue to sell well. Hahaha. Why do they keep criticizing the first impression so much?

Sedalbaekil was a group that sold albums consistently.

It’s not like they don’t put any marketing into album sales just because it’s 3 months and 100 days.

But what they considered most important was the musical essence, and as long as that essence is not blurred, the album does not lose its power even without marketing.

Around this time, similar opinions began to spread across the Internet.

-But that’s true. You have to look at sales figures for the second week, or even a month, not the first week.

-ㅇㅇ And these three-month-old bastards haven’t even released a single song

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThe hipster itself.

-Why on earth aren’t you releasing any music?

– He said he wanted to share with his fans the emotions of the analog era, when you had to buy an album to listen to music.

-Is that what Sedalbaekil said?

-No, that’s what I said.

-Who are you?

-A person who feels analog sensibility.

-What the f*ck are you talking about?

-What are the sales for the second week of Sedal Baekil?

The second week sales of the second album of Sedal Baekil were lower than the first week, but were still enormous.

Three months and one hundred days

319,3**

Because there were 320,000 copies.

-Wow lol this is crazy. 320,000 copies?

-You’re crazy lol

-Is this really only the second album?

-ㅇㅇㅇ Excluding the unitㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Including the unit, it’s over 500,000ㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow what the f*ck are all the K-pop fans in the world listening to the 3-month-100-day album?

-This case is pretty, and if you line it up with three unit albums, it will really spice up your interior.

-ㅇㅇㅇ It looks like it was designed that way on purpose?

-Then, 3 months and 100 days would be 680,000 and 320,000 per week. How much will Mixway sell in the second week?

-I don’t know lol I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

At this point, Ryan Entertainment officials, including Choi Ma-ho, were sweating profusely.

Mixway’s initial sales were truly cosmic.

Naturally, sales in the second week were bound to be significantly lower.

Internally, we estimate that there are at most 100,000 copies.

This was also an expectation when scheduling additional fan signing events to induce additional purchases.

Maybe it couldn’t have been better than this.

“Oh, Team Leader Park. Let’s change the subject. We need to bring up something else and get people off this topic.”

But no matter what Ryan Entertainment did, the point was not blurred.

because.

-Wow, finally!

-Crazyㅋㅋㅋ There are hipsters who release songs 3 weeks after their album release?

-Hongdae disease terminal stage

Sedalbaekil finally started distributing the sound source of their second regular album.

And that wasn’t all.

It was revealed that Sedalbaekil and Mixway will be appearing together on M-Show’s music show M-Mixdown.
