Chapter 61: The Conscience of the Industry
Li Jingming walked around before lunch, and he almost went to see all the famous video stores, and asked the clerks there about the general sales of his album in the morning. It's not bad, although there are no super-popular singers or groups that are sold out as soon as they are on the shelves, but they have already sold out quite objective figures. Li Jingming is an easily satisfied person, as long as he can exceed his expectations, no matter how small the number is, he will be satisfied; In the same way, as long as it is lower than his expectations, no matter how many Haode results he has, he will be dissatisfied. The expectation is made by him based on his own efforts and analysis, and if it does not meet the expectation, it can only mean that there is a mistake in the link, so he must be dissatisfied.
Fortunately, "Confession" did not live up to Li Jingming's efforts (in fact, Jin C was paying), and the pre-sale results alone had already met his minimum requirements, so his mood has always been relaxed. He went to eat this lunch alone, and the content was luxurious cold noodles, and it was very delicious. If you have to say that there is a little regret in the morning, it is that no one recognized him, even Yang Zhiyuan was recognized only when he took the initiative to "reveal his identity". Li Jingming wore sunglasses and dressed up so that others could have a surprise to recognize him, but this surprise never came.
There are many artists on the streets of Seoul who will dress like this and hang out, and almost all of them are entertainers when they see this dress, but Li Jingming forgot the difference between South Korea and the United States, in the United States, there are a bunch of paparazzi following the small stars with sesame mung beans, but in South Korea, Liu Zaishi walked on the street, and people smiled and nodded at most. Unless everyone comes to watch the content of the show first, looking forward to having the opportunity to interact and let themselves on TV, or their favorite artists need support to support the scene, it is difficult to see fans following the artist.
In fact, Li Jingming went to the video store to ask about the sales of his album, at least all the clerks recognized him, but the clerks were used to seeing artists come to them in person to inquire about the situation, and they had seen how big the big names were when the signing session was held, so they didn't feel much about Li Jingming as a newcomer. In fact, there are many ordinary people who recognize him, and even little girls with good things have been photographed and uploaded to the Internet.
The Internet has become Li Jingming's home base, and now a new topic related to him has been raised, but it is not so much related to Li Jingming as it is related to LAD Entertainment. "LAD entertainment is the conscience of the industry" is the topic that has been pushed up.
Why did a newcomer's album, and a single album, sell for a high price of 38,000 won, and many people who don't know the truth have questions when "Confession" goes on sale in the morning. The landlord who answered everyone's questions is not a fan of Li Jingming, and he has not paid attention to the song "Confession", and the reason why he knows this album is entirely because of his girlfriend.
Li Jingming's three episodes of "TV Continuous MV", in the first episode, only some people watched it, and the ratings in the second episode have begun to be a lot, and the direct ratings in the third episode are off the charts, with a rating of 12.7%! The ratings of the advertising slots sandwiched in between actually exceeded the ratings of the two episodes of the TV series before and after. MBC has not yet announced the results, and the advertising ratings also need to be counted, otherwise there is no data to say that advertisers will not be able to pay so much money to bid, so they notified Hanwha Group, which launched this MV, and that's right, it was the money directly given by Hanwha instead of LAD Entertainment.
The landlord's girlfriend is a loyal viewer of this MV, when the landlord sat on the side and waited for a whole episode of the TV series to finally end, he hurriedly prepared to tune the station to watch the cable sports channel, even if it was only five minutes, but he just pressed the remote control and almost didn't get beaten.
"The old lady waited forty minutes for the advertising time, you will change the channel for me?" These are the exact words of her girlfriend, and she also wants to thank Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun for giving a major benefit to the women of the Republic of Korea, after the release of "My Sassy Girlfriend", the status of the women has changed, and the women have begun to do their own men unscrupulously, and after the fight, there will be a sentence: "Violence is also charm, isn't it, don't you love me anymore, my morning glory ......"
The landlord who watched the TV series such as advertisements had seen it, but he had never seen it when he watched the TV series and other advertisements, and this was the first time. He watched the content of the MV very indifferently.,Isn't it just a little white face, his beautiful ex-girlfriend got sick and died.,After that, he married a more beautiful one and gave birth to two children.,Say haode is looking for death and life.,Say that haode cries bitterly.,What's going on with a crooked scalp and a laughing flesh without laughing.。 Li Jingming's MV is too fresh and heavy, without the exaggerated expressiveness of TV and movie works, but it is better in emotional rendering, the landlord is purely because he has just been beaten by his girlfriend, no matter how you look at Li Jingming, it is already a good thing that he didn't go to Anti, can he still say good things?
Under the urging of his girlfriend early this morning, the unlucky landlord risked being discovered by the boss, skipped work to buy this album, and was found when he went to the company, just because of the big mouth on the side, he came directly after seeing it: "Ah, you were late early in the morning, so you went to buy this album, why didn't you buy one for me." "With such a large horn, you deserve to be thirty years old and no one wants it.
This album was confiscated directly after being discovered by the boss, and by the way, their boss is a thirty-five-year-old young woman in literature and art, a returnee with a doctorate in English literature, and her family is very rich before she came out to open a company.
The landlord, who had to buy another one during his lunch break, was very dissatisfied with the price set by the newcomer's single albums, which cost more than a large portion of roast beef.
After opening the box of the album during the lunch break, the landlord found the reason why the price was so high, and there were two discs inside. It's not because the MV is longer than the movie and has to be divided into AB sides to fit it, but the video and audio are separated, and although there is audio in the DVD, the effect is not as good as HDCD. Music companies are actually a manifestation of their strength to install HDCD inside, one is to show the strength of the song, our songs are not afraid to be carefully inspected with high-end equipment, and the other is to show the strength of the company, our recording effect is placed here, the effect of HDCD is not clear enough.
The inside pages of the album are very exquisite.,A lot of content was filmed on it.,The biggest attraction to the landlord is the two women who appeared in the MV.,It's said that he's just a trainee, otherwise he must go to dinner.。 The box comes with a keychain, a folded poster, and a signed photo. Seeing this signed photo, the landlord is not calm, the autographed photos of Korean artists are almost all counted in the periphery, that is to say, they need to be sold for real money, and signed posters are completely two concepts, some companies are posters and sell them for money, this LAD company is a keychain and a signed photo, don't they want peripheral income?
The landlord checked on the Internet, it turned out that this signed photo was one percent probability of being caught up by him, the album of "Confession" is a total of 50,000 copies, of which there are randomly selected 500 copies stuffed with this kind of photo signed by Li Jingming, on Monday night, Li Jingming recalled that he had just gone to the Celestial Empire because he wrote the wrong name of Chinese characters and was punished by the teacher to write 500 times, and it happened that this time it was also 500 times. When the landlord called back and said that he had won the "grand prize", his girlfriend started to wave on the phone, saying that he was his lucky star and would reward him at night.
After a little analysis, the album of "Confession" should only have a very meager profit, which is the consensus of everyone on the Internet, and LAD Entertainment, a newly opened company that has been popular for a few days. Of course, when LAD Entertainment topped the name of "conscience of the industry", other large companies were not calm, we opened a company to seek money, you guys are doing it, won't it embarrass everyone, we just want money?
The most unlucky thing is S.M, Kim Yingmin scolded at the computer in the office again, these things were all done by that person, why do you always get shot yourself? Some of the H.O.T's rice and mythical creators below the post have started to help spread the word for free again: S.M. is a blood-sucking hungry ghost company, S.M is an illegal money laundering company, and S.M is a violent company that beats people...... Hit? I'm going to kill someone! Kim Youngmin's lungs are about to explode, how can anything be counted on the head of S.M Company.
At noon, many companies called LAD Entertainment's work call, basically condemning them, a "newcomer" in the industry, for breaking the rules, which is unacceptable and stands on the opposite side of everyone. Song Seok-jae was so annoyed by the questions that Li Jingming had set the strategy, and Zuihou could only call Li Jingming for help.
In the afternoon, there was a statement on the official website of LAD Entertainment, this is the first work of LAD Entertainment, and such a price strategy will be formulated for the purpose of first playing popularity and word of mouth, which is equivalent to the opening of the store, so it cannot be regarded as an act that disrupts the normal price standard of the market. As soon as this statement came out, the major companies were silent, what can you say about the big opening of the business, and don't you allow people to put two flower baskets on the sidewalk?
These entertainment companies are satisfied, netizens and fans are even more satisfied, what does it mean to open a big reward, that is, it means that it is cheap and easy to take advantage of, what are you waiting for if you don't buy it now. DVD albums on the market generally range from 20,000 to 30,000 won, and pure CD albums are generally around 20,000 won. Don't underestimate these little things, this trick is a powerful tool summed up by countless business seniors, M Ji and K Ji fast food, weishenme has to launch new small toys every year to give to customers, just because they can benefit from it. There are a total of eight keychains with Li Jingming's cartoon avatar, and the same is true for posters, there are already some little rich women who have bought a bunch of ready-to-make a set, and there are also many little sisters in the school who coordinate with each other, who has this, who doesn't, all of them have bought more than one.
The sales of the album were the first to explode the most, and the sales of an album were based on the results of the first week, or even the first day, and from 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the scene in the major video stores was different from what Li Jingming saw in the morning, and everyone already needed to queue up to buy the album.
Calls to restock have started to call LAD Entertainment, and it is imperative to increase the volume of albums.
