Chapter 268 Dream Era: Korean Superheroes
"The album sales of 'Nobody' exceeded 100 million in five days, and the sales of the Dream Era album broke the record..."
"Asia's strongest band is born, and Dream Era album sales explode..."
"The world's strongest girl group is born, and the dream era becomes a legend..."
In the entertainment section, news about Dream Era was overwhelming. This achievement was truly eye-catching. Breaking the 100 million mark in just five days was unprecedented.
While some top European and American artists have also managed to break 100 million yuan in sales, that took a long time. Meanwhile, Dream Era's album is like a rocket, igniting and swiftly bursting through the atmosphere into space.
This is not the victory of one person, but the victory of the universe.
This achievement excited the citizens of Universe Nation. They were filled with pride, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Many people posted this news on their social media.
Many people changed their profile pictures to those of DreamWorks, and several major mainstream media outlets in South Korea even used photos of DreamWorks to cover the entire page, with the words "Proud of Korea" written on them.
On that day, the entire country was in a frenzy. Large gatherings broke out in many places, with people holding up photos and names of the DreamWorks team. Su Yang's hands were shaking when he saw the news.
Damn, this is too big, this time it's too big. This is not cheating others, this is cheating yourself.
The cell phone suddenly rang and Su Yang answered the call.
"Su Yang, it seems we've gotten out of hand. The South Korean government has spoken out, did you see that?"
Tang Qing's voice trembled. Hearing this, Su Yang quickly logged into the official account of the South Korean government. When he saw the message sent by the Green House official account, Su Yang swallowed his saliva.
"The pride of the Republic of Korea, I hope you will all share this..."
Su Yang was very clear about what the Green House represented. Although it was just a simple sentence, it could represent the official attitude.
Su Yang continued to dig, discovering that many people in South Korea's political and business circles also celebrated DreamTimes' achievements. Even the South Korean president's personal account sent out congratulations to DreamTimes.
National hero, Dream Era really became a national hero.
"Su Yang, what should I do?"
Tang Qing also became anxious. She wanted to reap the benefits, but she didn't expect it to be so big. At first, she just organized people to manipulate the charts, taking advantage of the fragile glass hearts of the Korean people to reap the benefits.
Who knew that once this wave of sentiment took hold, it would be completely out of Tang Qing's control. Events unfolded beyond Tang Qing's expectations. These ignited Koreans unleashed unimaginable power.
Actually, it's not Tang Qing's fault, but Tang Qing overlooked an important thing. That is, the Korean entertainment industry has been suppressed for too long.
The Li Fengli incident made the Korean entertainment industry a laughing stock for audiences around the world. That incident caused countless Korean artists to be exposed, and for a time, the Korean entertainment industry became a synonym for dirtiness.
Seeing the ridicule from foreign audiences, the Korean people are also trying to argue, but they have no confidence.
Japanese viewers, in particular, were unreserved in their attacks on Korean netizens, gloating over their misfortune. Furthermore, some Japanese companies even took advantage of the situation and directly invited those Korean artists whose scandals had been exposed to develop careers in Japan.
Korean artists were invited to work as fishermen in Japan. Lured by the generous offers, several female artists actually took the plunge and went straight to Japan. Japanese companies quickly released a series of films, even explicitly identifying these individuals.
These films have also sold very well, with legitimate copies selling very high. As for pirated copies, let alone pirated copies, there's no telling how many times they've been secretly downloaded in China alone. In South Korea, these films are also widely circulated, with many Korean netizens even lamenting the philanthropy of these people. While they can't experience it in person like the chaebols, at least they can watch it.
In such a situation, how can Korean netizens not feel depressed?
Now, Dream Era's second album has suddenly become a hit in Europe and the United States, giving them an outlet. You guys laughed at us, the Korean entertainment industry? Now it's our turn to laugh at you.
Do you have such a girl group in the Japanese music scene? Do you have such achievements? Not to mention the Japanese music scene, there is no such achievement in the global music scene.
Under normal circumstances, such an achievement would at most be celebrated, felt proud of, or boasted about. However, under these circumstances, DreamWorks has become the superhero that saved the Korean entertainment industry.
Ultimately, it was Su Yang's fault. If he hadn't caused the Korean entertainment industry to collapse, Dream Era wouldn't have caused such a big stir now.
"What else can we do? Since we're here, we'll just make the best of it and leave it to fate. Let's continue to reap the benefits while the hype is going on. Oh, and after these few days, I'll arrange for Shumo and the other two to leave the group."
Su Yang took a deep breath. What could he do now? It had already happened. He could only take it one step at a time. He might as well just throw it all away.
Anyway, he wasn't going to Korea to develop his career, and Tang Qing had stated this in all the contracts. Even if the news broke, there wouldn't be any compensation.
As for the Koreans scolding me, what does it have to do with me? As for the domestic brainless fans scolding me, damn it, if you dare to scold me, is it because I can’t lift the knife anymore, or is the skin-peeling show not working anymore?
"Yeah, haha, we made a lot of money this time."
Tang Qing then excitedly said, "Album sales have exceeded 100 million. This sales volume is too exaggerated. And these albums are not cheap. After all, whether it is South Korea, Japan, Europe or the United States, they are all developed countries."
Furthermore, these albums also come with a large number of offline CDs. Even the limited edition CDs have been sold out in recent days. With Dream Era being so popular, the prices of these CDs have skyrocketed.
This morning, Tang Qing spent half a day calculating on her computer. Even if the album ends here, the revenue will still be a astronomical amount.
The album has sold over 100 million copies, with total sales exceeding $1.5 billion.
Excluding channel dividends, taxes and other things, the amount of money entering the company is almost 500 million US dollars.
Of the $500 million, Tang Qing and Su Yang will each receive approximately $150 million, with the remaining $200 million going to the girl group members.
This is an exaggerated figure. Each of Wang Yunze and his team can earn almost 200 million just from the album this time.
Tang Qing and Su Yang's profits were even more exaggerated, each earning billions. This time, the leeks were being harvested completely.
In addition to these revenues, many companies have now extended advertising invitations to Dream Times, and the prices they offer are sky-high.
This time, it wasn't just Korean companies that were quoting prices. Many European and American companies, all major national brands, and even many Chinese brands came knocking.
The popularity of Yang Mengmeng, Tang Tianyi, and Qin Ziran has skyrocketed. Especially Yang Mengmeng, who has been very popular recently.
"Love Apartment" has finished airing. Yang Mengmeng, who played Hu Yifei, became popular in the Chinese entertainment circle just by virtue of this TV series.
She also participated in the show "Longing for Life", which made her popularity soar again. Now the album of Dream Era has achieved such success, which has made Yang Mengmeng's popularity soar again.
Yang Mengmeng is now a well-known rising star in the entertainment industry. She is extremely popular and receives many invitations.
Although Yang Mengmeng's popularity is not as high as Qin Ziran's in the girl group, Qin Ziran is not involved in the entertainment industry. Apart from being a member of the girl group, Qin Ziran only hangs out in the self-media circle.
He simply shoots food videos, and the update speed is getting slower and slower. Many netizens feel very sorry about this. It is a pity that he does not join the entertainment industry with such good conditions.
This style, on the other hand, has earned Qin Ziran a large number of fans, and these fans are extremely loyal. They watch every one of Qin Ziran's videos without missing a single one.
He also urged Qin Ziran to enable the reward function, but Qin Ziran seemed like a goddess who was indifferent to fame and fortune.
They only shoot videos, don't enable the reward function, and don't accept any advertisements. Apart from opening the original function on YouTube, their videos in China are pure versions of videos, without even the original function. In other words, no matter how many views they get in China, they won't earn a penny.
Qin Ziran is indifferent to fame and fortune, which is the impression she gives everyone. This style has made Qin Ziran extremely popular in China. On Douyin alone, the number of fans has now exceeded 40 million, making her a super internet celebrity.
As for Tang Tianyi, she's also quite popular. She played a silly, innocent character in the TV series "iPartment," and with her adorable appearance, she has a lot of loyal fans in China. Now that she's become a legend in the Dream Age, her popularity has naturally soared.
It can be said that the three Chinese artists have benefited from the Dream Era.
As for Wang Yunze and the others, they can only keep quiet and make a fortune, after all, their identities cannot be exposed.
After chatting with Tang Qing for a long time, the two hung up the phone.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Wang Yunze called.
"Brother-in-law, I'm scared."
As soon as the call was connected, Wang Yunze's face was filled with grievance. He was afraid that this matter had become too big. And Wang Yunze was the most popular one. Jiang Yunze was now a Korean super goddess and Korean heroine in South Korea. Seeing these news, Wang Yunze felt that he was not worthy of it.
This was too much praise, and Wang Yunze knew that the higher the praise, the harder the fall. Damn, if this matter were exposed, Wang Yunze wouldn't be surprised if the excited Koreans came to assassinate him.
"Be good, don't be afraid. There's no point in being afraid."
Su Yang spoke to comfort him. It would have been better if he hadn't comforted him. This comfort made Wang Yunze even more scared.
"Brother-in-law, what should we do now?"
Wang Yunze asked quickly, genuinely terrified. Especially after seeing the album sales and thinking about his share of the profits, Wang Yunze felt the money was too much to handle. He'd wanted to make money, but he hadn't imagined it would turn out like this.
"Now, there is a perfect solution to this problem."
Su Yang suddenly said in a low voice.
"What method?"
Wang Yunze's phone was full of anxiety. Hearing Wang Yunze's inquiring tone, Su Yang showed a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.
