Chapter 160: Show! Time! (a)
Within two hours of its launch, the number of registered DNA-CLUB users reached 14,000, and the number is growing. SidusHQ has opened a DNA-CLUB forum under the official website for fans to communicate. Soon, the newly-opened forum became bustling.
At six o'clock in the evening, the first fans who were lucky enough to attend the media audition were born. The first batch of fifty lucky fans was announced on the DNA-CLUB forum, and the fans who saw their ID numbers on the list screamed loudly and excitedly. And the fans who were not selected, sighed.
But it doesn't matter, SidusHQ will draw 500 fans, and it's only a tenth of them, and there is still a chance. The birth of the first wave of lists also stimulated those fans who had not yet had time to register to join DNA-CLUB, and everyone enthusiastically registered, so that DNA continued to grow.
The venue of the media audition was a large CLUB, and it was even more empty after the venue was cleared. Set up a stage, and the scene can accommodate thousands of people. The performance is going to be performed on the 25th, and the time is very tight, so Park Shiyun came to this rehearsal that night.
Although he hasn't performed on stage for more than half a year, Park Shiyun doesn't have much nervousness in his heart, only full of excitement and excitement. Park Shi-yoon, who was born as a resident singer in the bar, spontaneously developed a sense of intimacy with the CLUB stage, and the rehearsal went smoothly, and the ten songs were practiced and sung three times before Park Shi-yoon left the club.
On May 24, the number of registered people for DNA-CLUB reached 63,000 overnight. Although compared to those super groups, there are hundreds of thousands, compared to TVXQ's two million fan clubs. Park Shiyun's fans are really not enough to watch. However, any super group, whether it is TVXQ or SuperJunior, did not have so many fans before their debut. Park Shiyun has already won more than 95% of the star artists at the starting line.
However, 60,000 is almost the limit, the growth of the number of registrations is gradually slowing down, and it is impossible to create a miracle of 100,000.
At 7:59 a.m., most of the entertainment media in South Korea set their sights on SidusHQ, because a minute later, Park Shi-yoon's debut album will start pre-sale. Everyone is looking forward to it. How much will be the pre-sale of the debut album of Park Shi-yoon, the most watched and anticipated artist of the year?
Enter the digital age. It's no longer as easy to sell physical albums as it was in the 90s, and everyone is used to listening to songs in MP3 and MP4.
Each country has its own recording association, and South Korea's Korean Recording Industry Association divides the certification of music record sales into four levels: silver records, gold records, platinum records, and diamond records, and the threshold for each level is 150,000 silver records. 300,000 gold records. 500,000 platinum records. 800,000 diamond records.
This regulation has been implemented since the 80s, and in the 90s, a hundred flowers bloomed, Xu Taizhi and the children, Crystal Boy, HOT, FIN. K.L has sold more than a million copies. The diamond-level threshold is not difficult for them. But now there are fewer and fewer people who can reach platinum record sales, and diamond-level ones are even rarer. In addition to piracy. In addition to the edition factor, more important is the developed network, which seriously affects the sales of singers' records.
How much Park Shi-yoon's first album was pre-sold and how much it could be sold became the focus of media attention.
At eight o'clock in the morning on the 24th, the pre-sale page icon that has been gray on the official website of SidusHQ was lit up. The cover of Park Shiyun's album appeared on the order page, and the album was released for the first time, and the album cover was mainly fresh and artistic. At the same time, the title of the album hidden to the end was also announced. Fans who couldn't wait for a long time flocked to the page to place orders.
Park Shi-yoon went to the CLUB rehearsal in the morning, and Kwak Do-won was in charge of the record division. This is his first big move to parachute into the position of head of the record division, one of the second-in-command of SidusHQ, and it must be fake to say that he is not nervous. He always pays attention to the pre-sale information, from the first pre-sale, the tenth, the hundredth, the fifth, the thousandth. The pre-sale information is updated every hour, and at 9 a.m., the pre-sale volume for the first hour is refreshed on the page, which is 6,700 tickets.
Removing the odds, it's exactly six thousand seven hundred.
Is it much? It's a matter of treating people individually. If it's TVXQ, superjunior, and BIGBANG, this number is really not much, and this album may hit the streets.
But if this person is Park Shi-yoon, that's a different story. has not yet debuted, and has not spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to promote, and there are 6,700 pre-sales results just after the pre-sale is opened, which is enough to make many first-line singers envious.
The media was slightly shocked when they got this data. They all had an initial estimate in their hearts, estimating that it would be good to break 5,000 in the first hour, but they didn't expect it to reach 6,700.
This album has the potential to be a gold record. All the entertainment media writers who were following this matter rubbed their chins, their eyes rolled, and their hearts were already scratching the draft of how to write this news.
For the results of 6,700 tickets, Guo Daoyuan was very satisfied. In fact, his estimate is the same as that of many media people, and it is also around 5,000, and he thinks it is very suspenseful whether he can break 5,000. But I didn't expect to give him a big surprise an hour later.
and Cha Jae-sheng, as a representative of SidusHQ, Cha Jae-sheng cares more about the record division than the film and television division. The film and television division has formed a scale and is the No.1 among Korean film and television entertainment brokerage companies. If he wants to make greater achievements, he can only run the record division to the same status as the film and television division. Today is the day of pre-sale of Park Shi-yoon's new album, and it is also the first step for Cha Jae-sung to officially guide the record division out of the predicament. The quality of Park Shiyun's album pre-sales directly affects the success of this plan.
Fortunately, the door is open. In the past, it was thankful that the singer's album pre-sale in the record division could exceed 1,000 copies in the first hour, but now Park Shiyun has directly doubled this number by nearly seven times, which is a good sign.
Leaving the record division to Guo Daoyuan to manage and operate, Cha Jae-sheng also bears a lot of risks alone. After more than half a year of waiting, it finally paid off today, and he can also give an explanation to the board of directors.
It can be said that this hour's pre-sale results represent that Guo Daoyuan's Cha Jae-sheng is under strong pressure, and the decision to hand over the record division to Guo Daoyuan is correct; It represents that Guo Daoyuan's business policy is correct; It means that Park Shiyun will be able to stay in SidusHQ smoothly in the future; It also represents that Park Shiyun has crossed several levels, really ascended to the sky, and stepped into the ranks of first-line singers as a singer who has not yet debuted.
All morning, Park Shiyun was immersed in the rehearsal, and in order to ensure the perfection of tomorrow's media audition, he tirelessly rehearsed over and over again.
At noon, Park Shin Hye called Park Shi Yoon to congratulate him, and Park Shi Yoon knew that his album pre-sale had reached 13,000 copies and was on his way to 20,000 copies. The number of registrations for DNA-CLUB has also exceeded 70,000, and after a night, the registration boom has gradually subsided, but it should be no problem to break the 100,000 mark before Park Shi-yoon's debut on the 14th of next month.
"yes, I don't know yet, hehe!" Park Shiyun smiled lightly. This achievement made him feel a little proud, but it didn't show it on his face. There are mountains outside the mountain, and he still has too many goals to surpass, so he is proud of such a small achievement, and I am afraid that the star journey will not be long, this truth Park Shiyun understands very well in his heart.
"Brother Xiaoyun, can I go to see you sing tomorrow night?" Park Shin Hye asked.
Park Shiyun smiled and said, "Of course, you can just lack a group of relatives and friends to help, so call Joong Ki, Min Young, Woo Bin, So Hyun, and Youzhen to come!" ”
"I'll see you tomorrow, bye!" Before hanging up the phone, Park Shin Hye also whispered I love you.
Park Shiyun smiled, although the two have not met since the last kiss, their relationship seems to have progressed extremely rapidly. Park Shin Hye is not as shy as she used to be, and often says things like "I love you" and "I miss you".
After putting away the phone, the pizza ordered by Park Shiyun was delivered. A large group of people are preparing for tomorrow night's stage, and Park Shiyun pays to treat them. Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths, and I am not afraid that they will not work hard.
Park Shiyun had just picked up the pizza and ate two bites when the phone rang again.
"Brother!"
"Well, Ji-yeon, why did you remember to call me!" Park Shi-yoon took a sip of Coke and smoothed his throat.
Park Ji-yan said: "Is my brother busy? I didn't bother you with work, did I? ”
"Just tell me if there's nothing to do, I'm having lunch." Park Shiyun said.
"That's good!" Park Ji-yeon said: "Brother, I just registered your fan club, but I was unlucky, and I didn't get drawn several times. Brother, I want to see your show tomorrow! ”
Park Shiyun laughed and said, "So you want me to open the back door for you?" ”
Park Ji-yan sneered: "I tried my best, but I can't help it, what can I do if I'm unlucky, please brother, get me a few tickets!" ”
"How many? Aren't you the only one? Park Shiyun asked.
"There are two other friends, they are trainee friends, and they are also fans of my brother, but they are also unlucky and they were not drawn!" Park Ji-yeon explained.
"Okay, then call me tomorrow night when you arrive, and I'll call someone to bring you in!" Park Shiyun said.
"Okay, thank you, brother!" Park Ji-yeon said excitedly. (To be continued......)
