Chapter 7 Pre-sale (Part II)
This is today's first shift, and the next shift will be tomorrow morning, I'm afraid of another power outage~
==============
As the leading fashion street in the entire Seoul, Apgujeong has no shortage of video stores, and after Won Sung drove the car and looked for it for a while, he saw a store with Ahn Junhyuk's poster posted outside the door.
The poster is provided by the company, which is also one of the means of pre-sale publicity, if you don't stick the poster to indicate, who knows which store in Ludao undertakes pre-sale, which store does not accept, and this kind of store is usually a regular franchise store of the major sales lists, and the pre-sale sales can be calculated into the first week of sales as long as the pre-orderer pays the full amount after the album is released.
Maybe it was just around noon, many companies hadn't gotten off work yet, and there were fewer people in the video store, and the faint sound of music came from inside, Ahn Joon-hyuk sat in the car and listened carefully, it was the title song of Tei's regular 2nd album "Ucu.Pra.Cacia" "A Person's Love".
, who came to prominence in January last year, relied on "Love and Love, Leaving Fragrance" as soon as he debuted The senior singer who swept the major radio charts was the hottest topic in the first half of last year, and by the beginning of this month, he launched 2 albums, still continuing last year's strength, and he returned to the stage in the first half of the year, and won a popular song in the middle of the year, and even the popular rock band M.C.The.Max, who played songs in the same period, was defeated by his knife, and at the same time, Tei was also the first competitor that Ahn Junhyuk asked him to be careful about before the album was released.
However, there is not much conflict between the two sides, Tei's promotion has entered the middle stage, and when Ahn Junhyuk's title song is qualified to enter a candidate, his publicity period is almost over, and basically all the awards he should win are in his hands, and he is no longer competitive.
At the beginning, the company chose to launch the shelves in March, not without reason, from the rumors revealed by various channels, only March is the least competitive month, after March, there is the return of BUZZ, and then there is the return of last year's popular group SG 2 series, and then there are Cheng Shijing, Shen Comet, MC Dream and others, the more fierce the competition is in the middle of the year. It is impossible to wait until the second half of the year, not to mention that the company wants to take advantage of the popularity of the "Right" drama that has not yet dissipated, but Bao'er will release an album at the end of June, which is enough to cut off any way for Ahn Junhyuk to live, not to mention that TVXQ will also return to China in the second half of the year to release a new album, and the situation of fighting with the company will naturally be avoided by the management.
Thinking about it carefully, South Korea is a small country, and the competition in the music industry is probably more fierce than in any other country, there are too many well-known singers, and the market is too small, so it is no wonder that the company is not optimistic about the pre-sale of his album.
Ahn Jun-hyuk shook his head, dispelled the thoughts in his mind, tidied up a little in the car, put on a hat and mask, looked in the mirror, and probably no one would recognize him, before getting out of the car and walking towards the video store.
The snow in Seoul that has been stretching for several days is finally going to stop today, and under the gloomy sky at this time, there is no longer the grand occasion of goose feathers flying a few days ago, only a little snowflake sliding from the clouds like fluttering, and falling in the air, the weather is still extremely cold, and the cold wind is blowing in the face, cutting the cheeks painfully. Pushing open the closed glass door of the video store, a burst of heating gushed out, and the body suddenly felt hot and comfortable, coupled with Tei's emotional, delicate singing voice and the air freshener sprinkled in the room, the lazy feeling came to mind.
There are indeed not many people in the store, Ahn Junhyuk raised his eyes and glanced at it, between the rows of shelves, there were only five or six figures wandering through, and near the counter of the door, it should be the middle-aged man who was the boss, chatting with the young girl next to him in a low voice. Hearing the sound of the door, the middle-aged man looked over here, and when he saw that it was a guest, he immediately got up and greeted with a smile on his face: "Sir, is there anything you need?"
He didn't react to Ahn Joon-hyuk's strange dress, the weather was cold, and it was the flu period, so it was normal to dress like this.
Ahn Junhyuk suppressed his voice and said, "I just passed outside and saw a pre-sale poster of Ahn Junhyuk, can you undertake pre-sale here?"
"Ahn Junhyuk?" The boss was stunned, then reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "Ah, is it the one who plays the uncle of "I'm Sorry, I Love You"? Yes, we are a franchise store on the hanteo list, absolutely formal, in fact, you can see the poster outside, it is Sยท Company M sent it overnight, and the agreement had already been signed, and the pre-sale was definitely counted in the sales ......" After boasting, the boss asked enthusiastically: "...... How many tickets do you order?"
"8 sheets. "I originally wanted to buy more, with his net worth, even if he threw money to brush himself to the first week of the first week, it would be no problem, but thinking about the kind of behavior of slapping a swollen face and being fat, he really couldn't do it, so he simply ordered 8 copies, 1 for himself, 1 for Jisoo, and the rest for Taeyeon and Yoona as a commemoration of buying his album for the first time!
"It's good, each deposit is 2,000 won, a total of 16,000 ...... In addition, please leave your contact information so that we can contact you to pick up the order after the album arrives on March 1st. โ
After paying the money and taking the card handed by the boss, Ahn Junhyuk wrote down his mobile phone number, and when everything was done, the boss told the young girl to fill out a pre-order form, and then she would use the pre-purchase form to pay the balance to pick up the goods and get the receipt.
While the cashier was filling out the form, Ahn Joon-hyuk talked to his boss, "How is the pre-sale of this album?"
Maybe it was just a business, the boss was in a good mood, and when he heard the words, he smiled and said: "The pre-sale only started in the morning, so it's good to know so quickly, and most of the students and young people who bought the main force have started school and work, how is the pre-sale...... " He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "...... Well, it's almost time to rest, and you'll see it when everyone has some free time. โ
Ahn Joon-hyuk nodded, then stopped asking more, and turned to inquire about the sales of other singers, especially Tei. When a singer's album sales, the retailer is the first to handle it, and it is very clear whether it is popular or not, so after a few words, the young girl who entered the room before filled out the pre-order form, asked the boss to sign it, and handed it to Ahn Junhyuk, the girl was curious: "Are you also a fan of uncle?"
"Uh......" Ahn Jun-hyuk was stunned for a moment, the word "uncle" is only so affectionately called by his fans, but he didn't expect this girl who had been silent just now to be his meal, and then nodded and said cheekily: "Well, I like the TV series he plays very much." โ
The girl laughed, and saw that there was a guest on the other side coming over with a record, and the middle-aged boss went to check out, so she quietly came over and whispered, "Is there a member account for 'An Jia Xiaozhu'?"
An Junhyuk was a little strange, I don't know why she asked this, of course he has the member account of An Jia Xiaozhu, but it is inconvenient to say it, that ID is too eye-catching, so he shook his head: "No!"
The girl suddenly looked a little disappointed, "No...... Alas!"
"What's the news, you ask this?" he was a little curious.
"This ......" The girl hesitated for a moment, then looked at the pre-order card in his hand, seemed to have made up her mind, and whispered: "Look at your pre-order eight tickets, I like the appearance of my uncle very much, I will make an exception to tell you, don't talk about it everywhere......"
She leaned into his ear, such a close distance made the behavior of the two of them a little sneaky, and the whisper became very secretive: "...... We're planning a big operation!"
"Huh?"
Before Ahn Junhyuk could ask questions, the wind chimes on the porch suddenly rang, and the two turned their heads to look, only to see a group of more than a dozen girls, still wearing school uniforms and carrying school bags, panting and running in, before they could stand still, a girl shouted to the counter: "Is there an uncle's pre-sale here?"
A companion pushed her, "I said that the uncle doesn't understand, it's Ahn Junhyuk, boss, can you pre-order Ahn Junhyuk's episode here?"
"I saw the poster, there must be!"
"The uncle on the poster is so handsome. โ
"It's a pity that I didn't see the MV, why don't those music channels play at noon, really!"
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
A group of girls were chattering, and the cold store suddenly became lively, and the boss who had just finished settling the account over there was stunned, and then hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, we are han......"
Before the words were finished, I saw the girl who shouted at the beginning waved her hand very imposingly: "Don't talk nonsense, 2 sheets per person!"
"Ah......" The boss opened his mouth wide, 2 for each person, and the girl in front of him had ...... More than a dozen, that means ...... The heartbeat suddenly fluctuated violently, and after being stunned for a while, the boss's already enthusiastic face and smile were almost grinning behind his ears.
At the same time, Ahn Junhyuk, who was stunned to look at these girls, turned his head to look at the girl who had revealed to him that he had a big move before, and saw her smiling like her, looking over with excitement in his eyes, and he understood something......
โฆโฆ
As soon as class ended, Yoona couldn't wait to rush to the company, picked up Taeyeon, who was already practicing at the company, and rushed to the video store near the company.
"Yun'er, what are you doing, the cafeteria will be open in a while. โ
"It's a small thing to eat, but it's a big thing to rush to the list, hurry up!"
Pulling the inexplicable Taeyeon all the way to a shopping mall, she found a video store with Ahn Joon-hyuk's poster outside the door, and the girl immediately ran in. However, it seemed that it was still too late, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw that the store was crowded with people, and the originally spacious passage between the shelves and the counter had already lined up in two lines, mostly girls in school uniforms, or young men and women in work clothes.
"This is ......" Taeyeon looked at such a grand occasion in a daze, a little dazed for a moment, and only woke up after a while, "What's wrong?"
She doesn't buy albums much, but occasionally she goes to the mall to buy things and passes by some video stores, and she has never seen such a lively time, so she can't help but guess in her heart, is it which king singer made a song?
This seems to be the only explanation for the current sluggish Korean record industry.
Seeing her surprised look, Yun'er next to her smiled, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a person in front of her complaining: "What's going on today? It's so difficult to settle the bill, is it Xu Taizhi who made a song? Why are there so many people." โ
"It's not Xu Taizhi. In front of him, a girl wearing a female college uniform looked back and smiled with a little pride: "It's a pre-sale of our uncle's series!"
โฆโฆ Uncle?
The man was a little confused, and he didn't know which singer Nae Dao was, but Taeyeon, who was queuing up behind him, chuckled in his heart. According to her knowledge, the only one who can be called uncle by fans is Brother Junhyuk, not to mention that it is still a pre-sale, isn't today the day of the pre-sale of my brother's "Memory"?
She stared at Yuna with wide eyes, and the girl grinned at her, the little tiger teeth glistening in the blazing lights of the store.
And what she doesn't know is that such a grand queue is not only the store she is in, but also in this mall, and even in the entire Seoul and Gyeonggi area, many stores that have obtained pre-sale qualifications have more or less similar situations.
A vigorous "god-making" movement initiated by fans is slowly kicking off!
