CHAPTER XVII
Shen Lian's efforts were not in vain. The album's high quality and good reputation made the sales of the second day increase compared with the first day, and the sales of 18,000 made Zhang Ting smile from ear to ear. And Shen Lian was sadly accompanied by Zhang Ting and the newly recruited assistant Chen Hang, and went to the second stop of his propaganda, his hometown Nanjing. It only took a few hours to take the highway from Shanghai to Nanjing, and Shen Lian fell asleep on the back seat because he was too tired. Chen Hang had no choice but to wake him up, Shen Lian opened his eyes in a daze, and he said to Shen Lian, "What's the matter, have you arrived?" β
Chen Hang said to him helplessly: "It's here, get off the car quickly." You're also very tired, so let's eat, take a shower and sleep. β
"No, I won't stay in a hotel tonight. My home is in Nanjing, I will go home for a day, and I will be at the venue on time tomorrow morning. Although he was tired, Shen Lian still wanted to go home. After eating some familiar dishes, Shen Lian now felt that he had returned to Nanjing, where he was born and raised. Listening to the similar accent here, he suddenly felt like he was home.
The next morning, Shen Lian's first singing party was held in the gymnasium of Nanjing University. The organizer is Orange Sky Entertainment, because it has not yet attracted advertisers to sponsor, so it can only eat the old book first, but newcomers have always been like this.
This small singer club is planned to have 500 people, but what I didn't expect was that there were really a lot of fans who came, according to the preliminary statistics of the staff, there were about 800 people. Shen Lian was also in a difficult situation, whether to let them in or not, after all, the venue inside could accommodate so many people. But it's unfair to let everyone in and to the fans who bought the tickets. Shen Lian was really at a loss.
Zhang Ting naturally hoped that the more people there were, the better, so she discussed with the person in charge of the song club and decided to let those audiences who did not buy tickets enter the venue by making up tickets.
"Hello everyone, welcome to my singing party." As soon as Shen Lian appeared on the stage, he greeted the fans below with a proficient Nanjing dialect, and the sense of distance between the two sides was instantly pulled in. The host is also famous in Nanjing, and he said in Mandarin: "I didn't expect Shen Lian to speak our Nanjing dialect." Are you from Nanjing? β
"Of course. Born and raised in Nanjing. Shen Lian confirmed.
"Hehe, since we are all fellow countrymen, we will definitely support you, you say yes!"
Fans already liked Shen Lian, but now they are fellow countrymen, so it couldn't be more kind. Today, Shen Lian's singer club is mainly to promote his own record, and his first song is the title song "Princess", which directly set off a small ** on the scene. At the end of the song, although Shen Lian didn't dance the whole time, sweat still came out of his forehead and the tip of his nose.
At this time, the host came to the stage and said: "Since Shen Lian has returned to our Nanjing, the villagers in Nanjing must be enthusiastic!" Applause rang out~~! β
"Shen Lian, you go to school in Shanghai, do you want our snacks in Nanjing." The host asked with a smile on his face.
"Of course, where the food is as good as the snacks on our Hunan Road." Shen Lian affirmed.
The host continued: "You have a good day today, your fans have brought a lot of delicious food to the scene, let them bring them one by one." At this time, several excited female fans came out of the fans below, and they all brought special food without exception.
"This is Qiao Dong's crispy fire." The first female fan opened her utensils.
"Thank you, I love it." Shen Lian, one of Nanjing's special snacks, certainly knows it.
"Hello Shen Lian, this is Ruyi Hui Ringan." The second female fan introduced.
"Ming Taizu likes to eat. I also like it very much" After eating the food, Shen Lian accompanied the fans to play games for a while, and had a small interaction with them, and the time was slowly spent in laughter. The high ~ tide of the song club passed in Shen Lian's "This Life Will Not Change", although Shen Lian released a new album, but this song is Shen Lian's most well-known song so far, and it has spread rapidly with the hit of Fairy Sword.
"If you can sing, sing along with me, okay" Shen Lian is a little into the state now, he loudly followed the audience to interact, of course, the reply he got was naturally a hundred responses. The ** part of this song is still quite difficult to sing, but under the leadership of Shen Lian, the audience also began to sing aloud. The loud chorus of nearly a thousand people is spectacular.
"Do you like my songs? We will see you at Wanda Plaza in Jianye this afternoon! In the end, Shen Lian did not forget to put a small advertisement on his signing meeting. Shen Lian's itinerary can be said to be full, the song club ends in the morning, the signing meeting in the afternoon, and tomorrow is the radio interview. However, no matter how tired he was, he felt that it was worth it. Today is the third day of the album's sale, and one of the most important numbers is about to be revealed. Three-day sales are an important measure of an album's success. Back at the hotel, Shen Lian didn't have time to eat, and went directly to the Internet, wanting to see if his songs had improved. What makes him happy is that "Princess" and "Elimination" have all entered Baidu's new song list, although the position is very low, but there will always be people who will move forward slowly. The afternoon signing party was held as scheduled, and Shen Lian had a great home advantage in Nanjing, and even Nanjing TV sent reporters to shoot the signing scene
On this afternoon, Shen Lian signed a total of no less than 3,000 tickets, and his wrists had already refused to listen to him. But Shen Lian still insisted on signing slowly, even if it was slow.
In fact, he didn't want to be lazy in his heart, but others had been queuing for so long, and it was impossible to use this seal to send people away. What's more, in the future generations, how can there be singers who will sign and sing to give fans a chapter.
Tired back to the hotel, Shen Lian first took a hot bath to wash away his fatigue, and then turned on the computer to check today's sales. In other words, in Nanjing, one day's sales may be able to account for one-fifth of today's total sales in the country. And the result did not disappoint Shen Lian, and the hard publicity in his hometown made Shen Lian's sales reach 22,000 today. Sales reached 55,000 copies in three days. Although the results are not bad for newcomers, they have not even reached the pre-sales of first-line singers. The record sales are not good, mainly because Shen Lian's fame is not big, and his propaganda offensive is not very fierce, and the song list has not been handled well, I thought that I could easily get on the list by relying on the charm of the song, but I ignored the external forces. However, professional music critics gave Shen Lian a very high evaluation of this album. Veteran music critic Judy's evaluation is very representative: "Shen Lian shows the breadth and depth of his music's understanding of life in this album. He is a hard-working person, and his singing skills are not inferior to some first-line singers, but I believe there is still room to go further. Korchinv also pointed out some shortcomings when giving a high evaluation: "The overall level of the system is very high, and it is good to listen to, but also has a restrained and unassuming temperament. And the overall music always brings a little surprise in the arrangement, even if it is just an uncommon instrument timbre. There are a few good songs that are worth listening to. However, the whole album is a little monotonous except for two English songs, and the album's track selection falls into clichΓ©s, and the MV shooting story is very strong, but the creativity is not enough. β
