Chapter 13: Familiar Faces at the Signing (Part I)
The signing meeting is also a very particular thing.
Preparing for a book signing requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
After all, it takes money to rent a space, to set it up, and to hire people to maintain order.
So who's going to pay for it?
Economic companies don't pay out of pocket, and idols certainly can't.
Then there's only one answer left, fans.
That's right, it's the fans who are out of pocket.
Of course, the economic company will not be stupid enough to ask you for money directly, they can do it another way.
The Repackage version of WelcomeBack came out before the official signings, compared to the first version.
The Repackage version of the album includes the music video for "Loser", "Climax" and "LongTimeNoSee", and a promotional poster and a new card will be added to the album.
The MV for "Loser" has not been announced before, just to prepare for this hand.
In fact, compared to the first version, Repackage has very few more things.
To put it bluntly, it is used to pit money.
But even such Chiguoguo's money-making behavior is still paid by thousands of fans, and the sales of the album are also brushed up in this way.
The sales of different versions of the same album are counted in this album, and the Golden Record Awards are based on this as one of the scoring criteria.
That's why S&M is able to dominate the Golden Record Awards.
The S&M family has money, and it is a company that can make 4 versions of an album A, B, C, and D.
With such a brush, can album sales not be high?
Of course, if you want to brush, you must have the capital to be able to brush, and the S&M family can be black in everything, but the number of fans cannot be black...... That's why they release so many versions!
The details of the preparations are unknown to the members of BTOB.
All they know is that they spend all day in the nanny car, and they have to go to that place after going to this place.
At the busiest time, I had to be busy until 3 or 4 a.m. to go back to the dormitory, and I had to get up at 7 or 8 a.m.
I didn't sleep for 4 hours, so I could only find time to squint in the nanny's car.
Even so, their schedules are densely packed.
The money of idols is not easy to come by, which is why so many idols want to change careers......
"Brother Xiuxun, when can we have a good rest?" Lee Chan-hee asked with a bitter face, with a thick exhaustion in his words.
Before his debut, he always wanted to make his debut quickly, but after his debut, he realized that the world of the profession was so cruel.
"When the signing session is over, the group itinerary will be reduced, and you will be able to rest well," Jung so-hoon said with a smile.
"I don't know how I've survived these days," Lee Chan-hee muttered in a low ear, "Why don't you, Brother Xiuxun, go and give advice to Brother Hong-robe, and let him help us push off the itinerary a little?" ”
"You kid, you were the most fierce one who shouted to make your debut, and now it's you who shouts tired" Zheng Xiuxun scolded with a smile, "If you're tired, hurry up and rest now"
"As for the announcement, I'll go and communicate with Brother Red Robe."
"Brother Xiuxun, your words should be okay, right?"
"I can't promise you, don't think too highly of me! I'm also an artist under the company like you," Zheng Xiuxun said with a smile, "Where did you get the confidence that I could persuade the company to reduce our trip?" ”
"Hehe, after all, the company values you so much," Lee Chan-hee teased slightly.
"It's not far from the venue, if you're really tired, just squint for a while" Zheng Xiuxun told him seriously, "If you look unenergetic in front of the fans, don't talk about the red robe brother, I will teach you a lesson, do you hear?" ”
"Ah, I know, I want to show my best side to the fans, I'm tired of hearing this sentence" Lee Chan-hee rolled his eyes violently, "Then I'll wait for your good news Brother Xiuxun, hehe, I'll squint first"
"You stinky boy," Zheng Xiuxun scolded with an angry smile
Li Hongbin, who was on the side, fell asleep directly and did not participate in the conversation between the two at all.
Stretching his waist, a feeling of exhaustion welled up in his heart, and he adjusted his sitting posture and changed to a more comfortable position.
He also closed his eyes, intending to squint.
In my heart, I thought it was worth it, and I really should go to Song Hongpao to talk to it.
It is also the responsibility of the captain to be a bridge of communication between the members and the company, and it is also his responsibility to protect the rights of his teammates.
If you continue to be overloaded like this, sooner or later the members' bodies will collapse.
This is not good news for BTOBs in the upswing period.
Wait a minute, they are going to Lotte Mall in Myeongdong.
The first signing session was held here, because there were 4 in total, and the company did not expect too many people to come, it should be around 3,000,400 people.
It starts at 2 p.m. and is expected to end around 6 p.m.

"Irene Ernie, hurry up, otherwise you will have to queue for a long time" In the dormitory, Jiang Shiqi kept urging.
"Ah, what are you in a hurry, you can't go to see Xiuxun oppa in such a mess, right?" Bae Joo-hyun said angrily, and then turned around and continued to dress up in the mirror.
"Anyway, there are so many people, Xiuxun OPPA may not necessarily remember you, and no one will care," Jiang Shiqi said.
"Ah, what are you talking about!" With a frown, Bae Joo-hyun stood up with a slick of his face.
Frightened, Jiang Shiqi jumped back, shrunk his neck and smiled, "Don't be angry, Ernie, you will get old quickly, hurry up and dress yourself up beautifully, so that Xiuxun oppa will think of you!" ”
"Then you can be honest with me and stay by the side," Bae Joo-hyun rolled her eyes violently.
Finally dressed up to the extent that he was satisfied, he set off from the dormitory with Jiang Shiqi, ready to take the subway to Myeongdong.
This afternoon, I don't know how many girls had the same choice as them, but not long after noon, in front of the building with the 'LOTTE' logo in the Lotte Department Store of migrant workers, there were girls and boys gathered from all directions.
With the passage of time, the number of people did not decrease, but increased.
In addition, some onlookers passing by, and reporters who came to shoot the news.
The wide pedestrian crossing in front of the department store was instantly filled with people, and many people had to stand outside the guardrail of the sidewalk.
In an instant, the traffic situation here became tense, so much so that the traffic department and the police department had to take pictures of people coming here to help maintain order.
At this moment, Song Hongpao is in the lounge above the Lotte Mall.
Looking at the dense people below through the glass window, he couldn't help but smile on his face, but he was also vaguely worried, turned around and said to the person in charge of Lotte, "Minister Cui, please arrange a little more security personnel to come over, don't have any accidents at that time"
If there is any personal accident, it must be BTOB to blame.
This is not what Song Hongpao wants to see.
"Don't worry, the nearby traffic department and police station have sent people over, so there won't be any big problems," Minister Cui said with a smile.
"Well, then I'll trouble you," Song Hongpao nodded.
Immediately turned around and walked to another room, where all the BTOB members were putting on makeup and preparing for the first signing meeting. (To be continued.) )
