Chapter 99: Release begins
When he got up the next morning, Gu Shixuan saw himself lying on the bed, and when Xu Hunxian fell asleep on the bed, his face was slightly red, and he was a little sweet.
Today, Xu Hunxian took the initiative to ask to be discharged from the hospital, and in the afternoon, he went through the discharge procedures and called Li Xiuman. He was almost recovered, and he didn't want to continue to carry it in this hospital that made him very uncomfortable, which was undoubtedly a torture. Gu Shixuan originally wanted to let him recuperate in the hospital for a period of time, but he couldn't help him, so he had to be discharged.
There are not many things, only a few coats of Xu Hunxian, and nothing else, so she didn't bring anything with her when she left, and at Gu Shixuan's strong request, she also sent him to the dormitory, and after telling him for a while, she left, which made Xu Hunxian very unaccustomed.
After staying in the dormitory for a while, and going out for dinner, Xu Hunxian returned to the company.
"Hello senior." In the company, seeing Xu Hunxian's trainees saying hello one after another, Xu Hunxian replied one by one, looking very friendly.
The trainee's eyes also revealed envy, a person like him who practiced for so much time, and was very good, was very enviable to them, and some female trainees would try their best to lean on him, in their eyes, Xu Hunxian was a very worthy investment, but he didn't care about these, and he pretended not to see them for those hints, although this was the survival rule of the trainees, but he didn't care about them.
did not go directly to his practice room, but went to Li Xiuman, and since he was discharged from the hospital, he had to give him an explanation.
"Teacher, I'm back." Knocking lightly on the door, after getting the due, Xu Hunxian walked in to say hello.
"Don't want anything, I already know about this matter, now go and take me the makeup photos, and take some posters, your time is running out, you have to hurry." Surprisingly, Li Xiuman did not ask him about this incident, but gave him what to do next.
However, Xu Hunxian roughly understood that he must have learned about these through his own channels.
"Yes, teacher, I'll try." Without raising any questions, Xu Hunxian respectfully agreed.
"And." Li Xiuman looked at Xu Hunxian calmly, and then said: "Your agent has also been arranged, it is Jin Chengjun you are familiar with, and there are two assistants, one is a costume artist and the other is a hairstylist, and the two of them also help you do some odd things." Okay, now you go to Kim Sung-joon, those two assistants are also there, get to know each other first, and tomorrow we will start preparing to take makeup photos and posters. ”
"I understand, teacher, then I'll go first." Saying goodbye to Li Xiuman, Xu Hunxian left his office.
Jin Chengjun's office he knew that on the east side of the third floor, it didn't take a few minutes for Xu Hunxian to come to Jin Chengjun's office.
"Hunxian, you're here." Seeing Xu Hunxian who came over, Kim Sung-jun was very happy, how to say that he is now a debut artist, and he has been appreciated by Li Xiuman, so to speak, as his agent, his future is also very ambitious.
He was also very glad that he brought Xu Hunxian to the company at the beginning, otherwise there would not have been such an opportunity, especially Bao'er's agent was really annoying, relying on Bao'er's weight in Li Xiuman's heart and his attitude was very arrogant, which made their other employees very dissatisfied, but now he is not worse than him, and the current Xu Hunxian may not be as good as Bao'er, but it does not mean that it will be the same in the future.
"Brother Cheng Jun." Seeing Jin Chengjun in front of him, Xu Hunxian saluted with a smile.
After he came to S.M, Kim Sung-joon took good care of him, so he was also very close to Kim Sung-joon.
"Sit down." Kim Sung-joon patted him on the shoulder and asked him to sit down, and then began to introduce the other two people: "This is Choi Dong-sung, your hairstylist, 24 years old this year, with a bachelor's degree from Seoul University of the Arts, and has been working for two years; The other is Kim Yoon-jin, your costume engineer, 22 years old this year, highly educated, from the fashion design department of Seoul National University, who was particularly obsessed with H.O.T and entered S.M, a new employee of the company. ”
Before Kim Sung-joon could continue to finish, the man named Kim Yoon-jin interrupted him: "Brother Sung-jun, don't say that, I know that H.O.T is going to be disbanded, what are you talking about." ”
After speaking, a gloomy expression flashed on his face that could not be concealed, but then he recovered and said casually to Xu Hunxian: "I know you, although you are very famous in the eyes of everyone in the company, but what interests me the most is the song "Candy" that you sang during the monthly exam, and I happened to be present at the time. To be honest, it was so comfortable to see Director Li Xiuman's appearance at that time, so I went to the director and asked to be your assistant. ”
She said very indifferently, but in her eyes, there was a faint appreciation for Xu Hunxian.
"Xie Lu, Sister Xie Yunzhen." Xu Hunxian saluted lightly to Jin Yunzhen, and then said to Cui Dongcheng on the side: "Hello, Brother Dongcheng, I will trouble you in the future." ”
The two of them returned the salute slightly, they were very satisfied with Xu Hunxian's politeness, at least, they would not be troubled in the future.
"Now that we all know each other, let's go out to have a meal, tomorrow Hunxian will take makeup photos and posters, and our work will officially begin, in short, everything is prepared for Hunxian's return to the stage." Choi Dong-sung and Kim Yoon-jin were very in favor of Kim Sung-jun's decision, but Xu Hun-hyun couldn't help but smile a little wryly, if he remembered correctly, he had dinner and was going to the company later, and now he was going to eat again, it really cost him his life.
In the end, Xu Hunxian did not object, they will be a team in the future, more contact can reduce the discomfort in the future, and the cooperation will be more pleasant.
That night, it was Kim Sung-joon who paid the money, and according to his words, he was the oldest and should have done such a thing.
When they came to the company the next day, Kim Sung-jun and the three of them were already treating Xu Hun-hyun early, and as soon as H.H.H. Hyun Hyun arrived, Choi Dong-sung and Kim Yoon-jin began to redesign him in an all-round way.
The first is the release, Xu Hunxian's original hairstyle can only be said to be acceptable in Cui Dongcheng's eyes, but there is still some gap from the goal in his mind.
With a simple trim, no dyeing, and hair wax, it becomes a different look, unchanged, or his somewhat cold, but still warm temperament, which looks very kind, very in line with his single. The hairstyle was done, they came to the shooting site, at the scene, Kim Yunjin kept changing his clothes, first took a makeup photo, it was a slightly mature young man image, in this picture, he closed his eyes, put his hands clenched in front of his head, and made a prayer posture, in short, it looked very feeling.
After taking the makeup photos, they began to shoot the poster, and finally filmed the MV, so they were so busy until noon that all the work was completed, which also announced that his album sales really began to enter the countdown.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, Xu Hunxian returned to his trainees to practice, not only to master what he learned again, but also to consolidate his strength, and most importantly, to make the song "Ibelieve" not go wrong.
At 0:00 on April 1, S.M's official website officially released the news that S.M's artist Xu Hunxian's latest single album will be released on April 15, with a pre-sale of about 10,000 copies.
This is also a conservative estimate of S.M, because the number of registered members of Xu Hunxian's fanclub is about 10,000, and this budget is based on this basis. As soon as the news was released, it first caused a sensation in his fan club, and everyone said that they would definitely buy his album, and they would also drive their relatives and friends to buy it, contributing their own strength to the sales of Xu Hunxian's album.
Xu Hunxian can also be said to be very sensational when he debuted, but it was Bao'er who benefited the most, and at that time, Xu Hunxian only debuted through a song by Bao'er, which was undoubtedly very aggrieved for them, so this time, they mustered up all their strength to cheer for Xu Hunxian.
It was a pity when they debuted before, but this first album, although it is not a regular album, they also have to work hard to do their best. After the people in the fan club first saw the news, they began to promote it in other fan clubs, from H.O.T to mythology to S.E.S., and even Bao'er's fanclub carried out diplomacy, so it can be said that this time for Xu Hunxian's single album, they are iron-hearted.
Fortunately, their publicity is not alone, in addition to S.M, even H.O.T, Shinhwa and S.E.S also promoted Seo Hun-hyun's single album during the event.
Even the crew of "My Sassy Girlfriend" announced at the same time after S.M announced Xu Hunxian's single album that the OST of the movie, that is, Xu Hunxian's brother, will be officially released on April 15, please support the general public.
Under such waves of publicity, day by day accumulation, it finally came to the day when the album was about to be released.
On April 14th, all the single CDs arrived at video stores in Seoul, all of which were physical sales outlets in partnership with S.M, for everyone to buy.
On April 15th, all video stores officially began to sell Xu Hunxian's albums, and placed them in the most conspicuous position, so that people who entered the video stores could see them, not only that, but also hung posters at the door of the video stores to promote Xu Hunxian's first album.
The sales of posters first became popular, especially among some girls of primary and secondary school students, because Xu Hunxian is particularly handsome, they like it very much, and the price is also very cheap, so the sales of posters have surged quickly.
The sales of album CDs are also very good, but Xu Hunxian's fanclub still contributes more to these sales, and they account for the majority, and his fanclub accounted for four-fifths of the 5,000 album sales on the first day.
The first day of sales is over, however, this is just the beginning, many people who bought the album praised the lyric song after listening to the song inside, and commented that the song is an excellent work, which has also won the reputation of the album to a certain extent, not only that, but some musicians have also begun to comment, without many exceptions, are all like this song, and there is even a person who called this song a very rare lyric song, which may become a classic in the future.
In this case, many people who were on the sidelines began to make a move, and the next day, sales began to increase slightly, reaching 6,000 sheets, which means that sales have exceeded pre-sales.
However, S.M was already ready, and on the 16th, 20,000 were put on the market, and on the 17th, there were 30,000.
And the daily sales did not disappoint them, it reached 10,000 on the third day, and 12,000 on the fourth day, and in the following days, such sales continued for a week, or maintained this progress, and even sometimes increased, and by the end of the month, it had reached 150,000 sales, which was undoubtedly very good for Xu Hunxian to release an album for the first time, and it was a single album.
