Chapter 18: Waterloo?

On January 2, 2002, at ten o'clock in the evening, at the Hilton Hotel, Lin Han and his party had just finished the album signing party for the day, and everyone was very tired.

Lin Han was tired, naturally needless to say, his right hand almost never stopped, and now it is almost numb.

Assistant Yang Yi is also very tired, because she has to deal with all kinds of Lin Han's affairs on the side, including various announcements, advertising endorsements, TV series invitations, and variety show invitations......

Yang Yi is tired and happy, as Lin Han's assistant, Lin Han is now popular, and her assistant is naturally rising with the tide, not to mention anything else, the colleague who used to ask her to do that at Jewell Records, who doesn't call her "Sister Yang" when she meets now?

This greatly satisfies Yang Yi's little vanity in his heart, everyone has vanity, which is not surprising!

Lin Han's bodyguard Li Qiang is also very tired, because Lin Han's fans are too enthusiastic, when Lin Han travels, he has to block the crowd, and he has to watch and listen to all directions, which is even more tiring than in the armed off-road for 20 kilometers!

In the suite, Li Qiang had already gone to rest next door, Lin Han took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to wash, only the assistant Yang Yi opened the laptop and was looking at the news about Lin Han.

In addition to the news that the album sold a staggering 150,000 copies on the first day, the results of the album's ten songs on the major music charts are also very gratifying.

The ten songs of Lin Han's first music album "Jiangnan" are: Stellar Perseverance, Infatuation Absolutely, Lonely Northern Hemisphere, Mice Love Rice, Long Live Idols, Youth Cultivation Manual, Breakpoint, Who Do You Think of When You're Lonely, Jiangnan, Stubborn, I'm Not Afraid, and Kissme.

Every song has been tested by the ears of countless fans in Lin Han's previous life, so these ten songs have firmly occupied the front position on the daily and weekly lists of all music lists, and even on the daily lists of some lists, the top ten positions are all Lin Han's ten new songs, which shows how popular Lin Han is.

After the listeners, they praised one after another, and the good reputation spread among the crowd, coupled with the strong recommendation of Lin Han's fans, this good reputation quickly turned into actual purchasing power, and soon, the album "Jiangnan" disappeared from the shelves of Jewell's audiovisual physical store and was out of stock!

Yang Junrong, who learned of the situation, immediately ordered the relevant personnel to urgently transfer the goods to the physical store overnight, and on the other hand, urgently contacted the factory to let the workers process and produce CDs overnight, and after thinking about it, Yang Junrong gritted his teeth and placed an order for 4 million albums.

Coupled with the 1 million copies that have been produced before, Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" will have 5 million copies, and Lin Han and Yang Junrong had a gambling agreement before, that is, if Lin Han's first album sells more than 5 million copies, then the remuneration share between Lin Han and Jewell Records will reach 70%, otherwise, the normal ratio will be maintained.

When Yang Junrong ordered the production of 4 million discs, in fact, his heart had already admitted in disguise that Lin Han's album could sell 5 million copies!

In the short term, Jewell Records will definitely lose a lot of revenue, but in the long run, Lin Han, a high-quality singer with king-level potential, is a cash cow for Jewell Records, a cash cow that continuously produces money!

The album "Jiangnan" is priced at 30 yuan, which is very common and affordable for ordinary people!

Jewell Records' sales network channels are not only in China, but all over Asia, Europe and the United States, and of course, in foreign countries, they are mainly concentrated in places where Chinese gather.

Starting from the 1st to the 20th, Lin Han will hold signing sessions in 20 cities, the first stop is Greater Shanghai, the second stop is Beijing, and then Tianjin, Jinling, and HK...... Of these, seventeen cities are in the country and three are abroad.

After Lin Han came out after washing, he looked at the itinerary that Yang Yi had brought over, he was silent on the surface, but his heart was magnificent, for no other reason, because he saw two countries that did not exist at all in his previous life, one was the Bamboo Country and the other was the Central South Federation.

After sending his assistant Yang Yi to rest next door, Lin Han opened his laptop and began to search on the Internet, and half an hour later, Lin Han said in a daze: "Mother's ......"

The so-called Bamboo Country is a neighboring country in northeastern China that occupies a peninsula, that is, the place where Lin Han was in the two countries of China, North Korea and South Korea in his previous life, but now there is only one country, which is Bamboo Country, whose capital is in Seoul, and its official languages are Chinese and Korean.

The population composition of Zhuguo is 70% Korean, and 30% is Han Chinese, so Zhuguo has good relations with China and is one of China's strong allies.

As for the Central South Federation, this country is located in Southeast Asia, where Lin Han remembered in his previous life, and is a unified country with a population of 500 million, of which 200 million are Chinese, and the official language is Chinese.

All in all, China in this world is very powerful, a superpower alongside the United States, and superpower status brings prosperity in culture and entertainment.

In other words, in the East, the size of the Chinese-language entertainment market has reached a staggering 1.8 billion people, which is an extremely large market!

After digesting this information, Lin Han smiled, he was also wondering why he could make so much money by writing novels on the Huaxia Chinese Net, and he was not surprised at all after reading this information.

With a population of 1.8 billion people who use Chinese, are there more than 100,000 writers on the Chinese Chinese Network? Are those hundreds of thousands of novels a lot? No, in the face of this huge population, it is not much at all.

The huge population produces a huge demand for spiritual, cultural and entertainment, coupled with legislation to ensure the rights and interests of writers, and people's strong sense of copyright, Lin Han became a multimillionaire in just a few months with four high-quality novels, which is not a demon at all, because the huge market has created many tens of millions or even billions of writers before him.

Lin Han felt that God really favored him too much, with such a huge market, coupled with the entertainment resources in his mind, it was foreseeable that he would set off an entertainment frenzy in this world!

Thinking of this, Lin Han opened the document and continued to write the novel, although his album is currently selling well, but the benefit brought to him by the novel is the largest at present, and it is naturally impossible for him to give up this piece of income, and he will not live up to the expectations of readers.

"Bubble Summer" has already ended on November 30, and on December 1, Lin Han released his fifth novel - "Twilight"!

This is a novel that tells the story of a vampire and a human girl who fell in love, and in a previous life, this book was not only a bestseller, but it was adapted and brought to the big screen, attracting countless fans and earning countless bills!

However, although Lin Han knew that the results of "Twilight" in his previous life were very good, but after it was released and put on the shelves for a month, Li Tianquan told him that Lin Han's fifth work suffered Waterloo, and the sales performance was far inferior to the previous four copies, which is already Li Tianquan's statement that he saved face.

"Twilight" is currently more than 10,000 subscriptions, which may be an incomparable success for ordinary writers, but for a writer like Lin Han, who once had more than 1 million subscriptions, it can actually be regarded as a failure, or it is called hitting the street.

Regarding the current phenomenon, Lin Han thought about it for a while, and then he understood, why readers don't accept "Twilight" very well?

One is that there are very few vampire-themed novels like "Twilight", which have not become mainstream, and the readership base is poor, and the second is that it is not grounded.

After figuring out the reason, Lin Han was not in a hurry, and he also laughed at those remarks that attacked him on the Internet that he was exhausted and that he could not take care of singing and writing.

Lin Han is waiting, when "Twilight" is translated and published in English, those who have attacked him will definitely be slapped in the face!

Actually, it's a good thing now, and it's more helpful to get the album to sell than it does with his novels and his songs.

No matter how others attack Lin Han, it is an indisputable fact that Lin Han is becoming more and more popular.

On the first day, Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" sold 150,000!

The next day, Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" sold 160,000!

On the third day, Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" sold 120,000!

On the fourth day, Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" sold 100,000!

……

On January 8, 2002, the sales of Lin Han's first solo music album "Jiangnan" were released, and the results once again shook the Chinese music scene, and in just one week, the sales of Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" reached 700,000 copies, with an average sales of 100,000 copies per day, which blinded the eyes of all musicians in the music world!

In the second week, although the sales of the album "Gangnam" dropped to 70,000 or 80,000 copies per day, the sales still reached an astonishing 500,000 copies after a week!

In just two weeks, Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" sold 1.2 million copies, according to 1 million records and 1 platinum, Lin Han, a newcomer who debuted less than half a year ago, reached the level of platinum records in two weeks with his first album sales!

This astonishing achievement not only stunned the Chinese music scene, but also reported on the European and American music scenes, and some newspapers and periodicals were exclaiming, "Another Chinese music ghost was born!" "It's over!

On January 21, Lin Han ended the signing in Seoul, Zhuguo, which was also the last signing meeting.

The next day, the sales of Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" in the third week were released, and after a short decline in the second week, Lin Han's album "Jiangnan" ushered in a new round of sales boom, with sales of 800,000 copies in the third week, and as of the third week, Lin Han's album sales have won two platinum records!

Lin Han, who created a miracle in album sales in the music world, received an official notice from the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, inviting him to participate in the award ceremony.

People in the entertainment industry were suddenly confused, isn't Lin Han a singer? What does the festival have to do with him? It's still an internationally renowned film festival like the Sundance Film Festival, which doesn't matter at all!

No matter how shocked people in the entertainment industry were, Lin Han just told his assistant Yang Yi to buy a well-fitting dress for himself and go to the Sundance Film Festival to receive the award, but he had to dress formally and not lose his Chinese face!
