Chapter 465: Homesickness

When Lee Chung-hee had a meeting with the creators of "Two Days and One Night" to discuss the next shooting, his public relations team quickly gave him a very detailed album release plan.

This includes the release schedule, strategy, and even down to the approximate cost.

Lee Chung-hee is satisfied, and he is unlikely to waste his time on these things now.

After the PR and release were finalized, the answer was to start promoting the album right away.

Start promoting the English album first.

The English album is already complete, and all you need to do is copy the master tape and sell it.

That, it's okay just for a week or so, and now it's going to be promoted, and then it's going on the market a week later, and it's starting to hit the charts or something, although it's a bit of a hurry.

However, he is Lee Chung-hee, the king of the entertainment industry now, and his influence is unparalleled, including the media, who are willing to report his news.

Of course, his album is still excellent.

A week later, I returned from the United States, and at that time, it was time for the Korean and Japanese albums to start promotion.

By that time, production of Korean and Japanese albums will also be available.

Then, in another week, it will be the promotion of the Chinese album.

The Chinese one is now in post-production, and it can be done in about half a month, and after a month, various copies including vinyl discs, ordinary discs, cassettes and so on have come out, which does not affect the sales after publicity at all.

In short, a qiē will be perfectly connected, and there is plenty of time in the middle for the filming of the first issue of "Two Days and One Night".

Then, because it was just filming, the real screening was not until June. That is, almost two months later. Then. The album's popularity is just over the same.

At this time, taking advantage of the time to pass, the show will be launched, so that not only will the publicity of "Two Days and One Night" not be affected, but will help.

Undoubtedly, this is a good idea.

The only thing that is not so good is that this makes Lee Chung-hee's wishful thinking of wanting to take a break from the opportunity to take a hard break. He had to start working non-stop right away.

For the promotion of the English album, he basically stayed in North America, went to New York, Los Angeles, Boston and other six cities, and then went to Vancouver, Canada.

After that, the week's promotional schedule was over, and the Japanese and Korean ones were much simpler.

After all, it's close, but it's the first time it's been an official album. So, don't talk about South Korea. He traveled to all the metropolitan cities, and when promoting Japanese albums, he also traveled to more than ten cities including Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kobe, Fukuoka, etc.

It can be said that it is full of sincerity.

Of course, his sincerity was full of sincerity, and he once again detonated the sales of the album.

The United States had more than 3 million in the first week, while South Korea had just over 2 million because of its small size.

However, Japan, an equally small country, sold 6.1 million copies like crazy.

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that Japan's consumption habits and record sales are different from other places.

Quite simply, other markets are long-term, while Japan is fast-food.

For example, Japan's best-selling female singer Hikaru Utada's Distance sold 3.002 million in the first week, but until now, in almost five years, the total is only 4.47 million.

Similarly, FirstLove, 2.02 million in the first week, seven years have passed, and the current sales in Japan are 7.65 million. It was also the highest-selling album in Japanese history, and it held the record for more than a decade.

However, Britney Spears' "IDidItAgain" sold 1.309 million copies in the first week, but now it has sold 20 million copies.

The first week sales of "BabyOneMoreTime" were only 123,000 copies, but the cumulative sales were 25 million copies.

All of this is a good illustration of record sales in the Japanese market.

First of all, Japanese people are very blind when buying albums, and second, Japan is a country that admires foreigners. The Japanese singer's record is the first week to watch. After the first week of selling, hurry up and make the next album, as efficient as cooking.

This is also why Ayumi Hamasaki famously released a record every week for a certain period of time.

Note that this record is not an album, which is called a single disc, or a single disc with only one song.

However, her strategy was very successful, she posted one a week in that year, and accumulated more than 40 million entries a year, which completely achieved her status in the Japanese music scene.

Of course, even so, the sales of 1.1 million in the first six weeks were still eye-catching, and in the second week, although it fell by almost 50 percent, it was close to 4.2 million.

This broke all records in the Japanese music scene.

made him a veritable king of entertainment in Japan.

"King!" This is the first time that Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun has officially used such a title. This is a country with a royal family, and it is very shy about such words, but this time, Lee Chung-hee got the honor.

Of course, he didn't care much.

He is now at home preparing his schedule for China.

There is no problem with the schedule, two days on Treasure Island, two days on Hong Kong Island, and then ten days in the mainland, a full two weeks, which is the plan arranged by the public relations team after asking his opinion and then communicating with various places.

It's just that this is the first time he has returned to China, the first time he has visited the motherland in his heart, which is a long time earlier than he imagined.

Originally, he planned to go two or three years later, but later, because of the Chinese album, he felt that it would be about a few months later, and he didn't even plan to go.

After all, although piracy in the mainland is under control, it is still not ideal, and neither he nor his team has much to expect from how much money they will make there.

It's just that when he finished recording the album, during the call with his father, Li Gongtang told him that since he had already recorded, he should have a beginning and an end and go over there.

That's why he asked his brokerage team, PR team, distribution department, etc. to prepare, communicate, and then set the current plan.

"You look like an old man,"

Ha Ji Won, who was arranging his tie, pouted coquettishly, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "Others say that only when you return to your hometown will you have that kind of hesitation and timidity, and young people are bouncing." ”

Lee Chung-hee smiled and bowed his head and kissed her, and said with emotion: "I don't know, I heard a lot from my grandfather when I was a child, and I heard some thoughts about that country."

But I've never lived there after all, and my life doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, except in my heart, like my grandfather, I have a faint miss, or rather, I just want to see it.

With anticipation, there is also the possibility of disappointment, so ......! ”

"Why don't I go with you!" Ha Ji Won suddenly stared at him with bright eyes.

"Okay," Lee Chung-hee nodded subconsciously, but said with a smile: "However, didn't you say that you want to take care of the child, and you also said that you want to prepare for a comeback, and you also said that you want to become an international superstar like Tae-hee!" ”

Ha Ji Won gritted his silver teeth and pinched him, "Are you deliberately angry with me," after a pause, he pouted, "You see I need to watch the children, grandma and mother, nanny, a large group of people are much more enthusiastic than me!" ”

Lee Chung-hee chuckled, Gao Xiuzhen really looks like she is more than ten years younger now, and she teases her children every day, but she doesn't feel tired.

As for the mother, this is not Lee Chung-hee's mother, Kim Mi-yeon, but Ha Ji-won's mother.

Before, Ha Ji Yuan didn't dare to say it, but Gao Xiuzhen called, and then, the people of Ha Ji Won's family knew about it and naturally accepted it.

The reasons for this are naturally very complicated, perhaps they have been known for a long time, or they may also be related to the current status, power, and wealth of the Li family.

Of course, this does not affect the relationship between Lee Chung-hee and Ha Ji Won, and if there are any not-so-good qualities in the family, that must be endured, such as Tony's mother is a snob.

Not only can Lee Chung-hee bear it, but now Lee Wen-hee is engaged to Tony's sister, and then he will probably get married at the end of this year.

Ha Ji Won's mother is not that kind of person, a very well-bred old lady, Kim Mi-yeon went to New York, so she came over to accompany Gao Xiuzhen, and also took care of her little grandson.

"Wait a minute," Lee Chung-hee patted Ha Ji Won's tender and fair cheeks with a smile at this time, and said, "You seem to have premeditated!" ”

"Cut, rare, it's better for you to go alone!" Ha Ji Won gave him a blank look, opened his hand holding her buttocks, and was about to leave.

Li Zhengxi smiled and grabbed her, "Okay, I was wrong, you are not rare, I am rare," and then leaned into her ear and said softly: "I was just going to go over there for a walk, it's really boring to be alone, it's good to have you now!" ”

"I don't have time," Ha Ji Won pursed his lips hypocritically and snorted unhappily, "You go to Tae-hee or Ye-jin, they will definitely be willing!" ”

Lee Chung-hee chuckled, "Yes, one has just received the movie script, and the other is making a movie, they will be as idle as you lazy girl with children at home!" ”

"Ah, don't run!"

Ha Ji Won gritted his teeth and rushed to Lee Chung-hee, who ran into the house, and shouted, "You bastard, I will never forgive you this time!" ”

then chased into the house, but soon cleaned up for Li Zhengxi, blushing and pressing him under him, kissing him recklessly, if he didn't rush to get on the plane, he was afraid that he would go off the gun.

It only takes two hours to get from Seoul to the capital of China.

At half past nine in the morning, when the plane arrived over the capital, it was almost noon.

Today's weather is clear, and there is no smog that swept later, and under the clear sky, it is a huge city.

"That's a lot bigger than Seoul!" Ha Ji Won, who had just tossed this villain on the plane for a while, sat lazily in Lee Chung-hee's arms, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and said softly.

"It's huge!" Lee Chung-hee nodded, watched Ha Ji Won playfully lie on his chest and listened to his heartbeat, and smiled.

However, his heart was beating a little fast. (To be continued......)
