The axis of time entered June, the domestic entertainment ban was gradually lifted, and Zhao Yuanxi once again embarked on a flight back to China to publicize.

On the first day of June, China's Children's Day, Zhao Yuanxi flew to China to participate in the recording of Jiangcheng Satellite TV's "Entertainment Story", and then flew to Mango TV to participate in the recording of "Luyu Appointment". The program "Luyu Appointment" was signed for broadcast on Mango Channel in 2008, and a series of earthquake topics were made after the Southwest Earthquake, and the topic that Zhao Yuanxi participated in recording was the earthquake.

It can be said that Zhao Yuanxi's publicity activities in China are not to promote his albums, but to promote his personal image, which is also consistent with Zhao Yuanxi's own positioning and needs. Compared with the fact that the song celebrity is not popular, Zhao Yuanxi cares more about the popularity of the song and the popularity.

Zhao Yuanxi's first Chinese album was released shortly after the promotion was interrupted, and it was not until a month later that the promotion resumed again, and the best sales period had been missed.

Usually the sales of records are mainly based on the sales of the first week and the first month, especially the sales volume of the first month can usually account for more than 50% of the total sales of the record.

The domestic record market has always been sluggish, which is closely related to the habit of consuming free music. In addition to Jay Chou's big wonder, Luo Zhixiang's record sales, which cost more than 10 million yuan for publicity, have reached 200,000 copies, and popular singers like Zhang Liangying and Zhang Jie have sold more than 100,000 records, and music companies will open champagne to celebrate.

S.M did not set too high a target for Zhao Yuanxi's first Chinese album, initially planning to set a plan of 60,000 copies, and sold less than 30,000 copies until early June, compared to 400,000 copies of the Korean mini-album. The dazzling data that the regular series sold 600,000 copies can be said to be dismal.

Fortunately, the songs written and composed by Zhao Yuanxi are extremely popular and have topped various music charts, especially the two songs "In My Song" and "Little Dimples" have been at the top of the 1000 degree music charts for three consecutive weeks.

Compared with the dismal record sales results, Li Xiuman, as the production director, and Yu Yongzhen, the vocal director, are more interested in Zhao Yuanxi's thorough understanding and grasp of the Chinese music market, and the popularity of the songs he personally wrote proves that he has the pulse of Chinese pop music.

As long as you go in the right direction, there will always be a day when you stick to it. And Zhao Yuanxi's first Chinese album alone did not lose much money, just did not make money, in Zhao Yuanxi's personal terms, he relied on the income from sales in the Korean market to hedge the domestic market publicity expenses. Moreover, Zhao Yuanxi's charitable donation has won him a reputation. It's just that the record didn't make enough money.

In fact. Domestic singers don't rely on records to make money at all, but more commercial performances, endorsements and concerts, which are the main means of making money. That's true of the whole environment. It's not Zhao Yuanxi's problem alone.

End the four-day promotional trip in China. Zhao Yuanxi received a call from his agent Song Ki-bum and returned to South Korea again, because Song Ki-bum couldn't wait, no matter which agent endorsed big brands like LG and Lotte, his eyes would be enthusiastic and his heart would beat. Song Jifan has endured the temptation for nearly half a month, which is already commendable.

Zhao Yuanxi has shirked advertising endorsements for nearly half a month, looking forward to the stars and the moon Song Jifan finally looked forward to Zhao Yuanxi's resumption of commercial activities, in his eyes, these endorsements are the top priority, and they must not be missed.

"Yuanxi, Lotte Department Store offers 2 billion to invite endorsements for Lotte Duty Free, and LG Electric offers 2.2 billion to invite you to endorse a series of electrical products." As soon as he got off the plane, Song Jifan personally greeted Zhao Yuanxi at the airport, and said earnestly in the same nanny car as him.

Zhao Yuanxi rubbed his temples and said, "Then let's do it." ”

Song Jifan was overjoyed, paused and said: "The next 7th is the dream concert, and the 5th and 6th will be rehearsed separately, which day do you choose to rehearse?" ”

"What is the Dream Concert?"

Song Ki-beom explained with a smile, "The Dream Concert was founded in 1995 by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korean Performing Artists Makers Association and other organizations to give Korean teenagers more dreams and hopes. It is held once a year, all of which are free to watch, and the artists are all the most popular singers in Korea, making it a music feast that cannot be missed every year. This concert was attended by all the popular groups of our company, including TVXQ, SJ, Girls' Generation, and the newly debuted boy group Shinee at the end of May. ”

"Did Shinee make her debut?" Listening to Song Jifan mention it, Zhao Yuanxi remembered that he had heard Yu Yongzhen mention that the company arranged for the five-man Shinee group to debut at the end of May.

Song Jifan nodded and said, "I made my debut on May 25." ”

Zhao Yuanxi thought about it for a while and said: "My rehearsal time is scheduled on the sixth, and it will be better to rest for a day, after all, it is a concert with a wide range of influence, and I am sorry for the audience if I am not in good shape." ”

Zhao Yuanxi has always rejected lip-syncing, as long as it is not his own state is not good or the hardware is too poor, he will not consider lip-syncing, lip-synching is not helpful to improve his own strength, and it is easy to form dependence. Studio singers are very relaxed and easy, and singers who dare to sing Live are called real singers.

Song Ji Fan Ha laughed, he has been Zhao Yuanxi's agent for more than four months, and he knows that he has always liked to joke, and he has always been deeply confident in Zhao Yuanxi's strength. In Song Ki-beom's view, Zhao Yuanxi is a superstar of tomorrow who will become the king of Asia in the future.

Back at the company, passing by the practice room of Girls' Generation on the first floor, Zhao Yuanxi pushed the door and entered, but did not see the nine girls he expected, and it was the five big boys of Shinee who were training in the practice room.

The five big boys were concentrating on practicing dance, and when they saw Zhao Yuanxi, they hurriedly stopped their dancing steps and turned around to salute Zhao Yuanxi, "Hello senior." ”

Zhao Yuanxi smiled and waved his hand, "Congratulations on your debut, I was busy with my trip until today to learn the news of your debut." Doesn't this practice room belong to Girls' Generation, did they change the practice room? ”

Minho said, "If you go back to your predecessors, the practice room of the seniors of Girls' Generation is currently on the second floor. ”

The new boy group debuted, and Girls' Generation has also been upgraded from TVXQ and SJ's junior sister to a senior girl group, although for Zhao Yuanxi himself, Girls' Generation is also his predecessor, but not only he is a girl of Girls' Generation, but he has never regarded him as a junior, first, Zhao Yuanxi's talent is too amazing, so that a group of girls admire it, and they are completely small fans of mentality, so they naturally dare not call themselves seniors; Moreover, Zhao Yuanxi is not only far older than them, but also mentally mature, and naturally regards him as an elder brother in the hearts of a group of girls.

Zhao Yuanxi nodded, clapped his hands and smiled: "I remember telling you, don't let me call you senior, just call me brother." In order to keep you in mind, I will now punish each of you with 100 push-ups, and in the future, if someone calls me senior, I know the rules of the Tao. ”

The five handsome boys smiled shyly, and without saying a word, they turned around and lay on the floor and began to do push-ups.

In South Korea, it is common for seniors to punish juniors, and the teacher's corporal punishment of students is still protected by the law, not to mention a hundred push-ups, obviously Zhao Yuanxi is joking with them, and the meaning of playing is far greater than punishment.

"Legs straight, faster, haven't you eaten?" Zhao Yuanxi kicked Li Taimin and scolded loudly.

Zheng Xiujing and Cui Xueli finished the afternoon training, and the two happily came to the practice room on the first floor, which originally belonged to Girls' Generation, and when they pushed the door, they saw Zhao Yuanxi punishing the five Shinee people with a serious expression, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, and they timidly stuck to the door and stood still.

Zhao Yuanxi has always given them the feeling of being gentle and kind and personable, and it was the first time they saw Zhao Yuanxi's stern appearance, and they couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts.

"Yuanxi Oppa, did the brothers make any mistakes?" In the end, Zheng Xiujing had the courage to speak, she and Shinee were trainees of the same period, and they had a good relationship with each other, so they couldn't bear to watch Zhao Yuanxi physically punish them.

Zhao Yuanxi glanced back and said with a smile: "It's Su Yu and Shirley, why are you here?" ”

"We're done with the practice and it's time to rest." Zheng Xiujing hurriedly explained, and she didn't dare to defend herself for embarrassment, for fear that Zhao Yuanxi would punish them together.

Cui Xueli nodded again and again to confirm Zheng Xiujing's words, and the long ponytail on the back of her head swayed from side to side, which was really interesting.

"As for what mistakes they made, you might as well ask them yourself," Zhao Yuanxi smiled and kicked Min Hao's thigh next to him, "Hurry up." ”

"Minho Oppa, what did you do wrong?" Zheng Xiujing took two steps, squatted down and asked with a concerned face.

"Let's ......" Minhao did seventy-three in one breath, his arms were shaky, and as soon as he spoke, a sharp breath suddenly leaked, and he couldn't support it anymore, and with a "poof" sound, the whole person lay on the ground and gasped for breath. (To be continued......)
