Chapter 23 The scene of the signing meeting
After returning home at night, Lee Mei-er glared angrily at Lee Sang-hyuk who entered the door, and then walked into his room and closed the door vigorously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hey, Sister Xiuzhen, hello." After Lee Sang-hyuk looked at the caller ID, he found that it was Kim so-jin who was far away in Seoul, because he often went to S.M's company to record and shoot MAD some time ago, and the relationship naturally became familiar with the relationship after moving around a lot, and Lee Sang-hyuk's title became much closer.
"Hey, Sang-hyuk, fire!" Kim so-jin's voice on the other end of the phone was very excited, she paused and said, "The statistics I just received, do you know what the national sales data of your MAD album is today?" That's 200,000. ”
"Uh... Two hundred thousand? How is that? Although Lee Sang-hyuk was so excited when he heard Kim so-jin's tone, he didn't have much concept of this kind of data in his mind.
"Hey, it's not a lot, it's a lot." Kim so-jin couldn't help but be a little speechless after hearing Lee Sang-hyuk's question, and then she thought that maybe Lee Sang-hyuk might not have any concept in this regard, so she couldn't help but say, "Do you know what the highest sales volume in our national album sales history is, it is 1.82 million for the third album of the national group GOD, and your first MAD sold 200,000 in a single day, which is already incredible as a newcomer." ”
"Oh, that's right." Lee Sang-hyuk touched his nose, and he was actually quite happy in his heart.
In fact, although he is very famous as a newcomer in the e-sports entertainment industry, he is a newcomer who has no foundation at all in the music industry.
A few days before the release of the MAD album, S.M put the BGM in that song on the Internet to audition, partly to warm up for the release of the album, but also to test the public's response. Although Lee Sang-hyuk's cross-border creation of this BGM as an e-sports player was praised by the company's top song producer Kim Ji-jung, S.M, as a leading company in the Korean entertainment industry, naturally understands that the market is the most important truth.
And Lee Sang-hyuk's "Unravel" did not disappoint, in just one day, the song quickly spread through the online platform, many people began to cycle the single on computers, mobile phones, Ipod and other devices as if they were poisoned and brainwashed, and by the next day, various cover versions began to appear on the Internet, and many young people with strong entertainment spirit recorded a version by themselves and uploaded it to compete with others on the Internet, which undoubtedly further promoted the popularity of this song.
S.M, who originally had the intention of testing the response, naturally increased his confidence when he saw this hot occasion, so the album began to be distributed in a large area of audio-visual stores in major cities across the country on the first day of release, which also caused Lee Sang-hyuk, a newcomer, to have such hot sales on the first day of the release of the MAD album, otherwise even if fans are willing to buy it, the number of MAD albums on the first day is in short supply, and it will be difficult to promote the sales peak on the first day.
"Sang-hyuk, I just received the news that the company has decided to let you hold a signing session at Gwanghwamun Square in Sheji-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul tomorrow Christmas, how about it, no problem?" After a while, Jin Xiuzhen suddenly said on the phone, she who had handled several artists with no potential and was about to face the end of their contracts, suddenly came to work, and she had made a beautiful turnaround at the moment, but the excitement in her tone could no longer be concealed.
"Signings? Okay, tomorrow Christmas school is off and I can get over it. Lee Sang-hyuk thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
.......
After hanging up the phone, Lee Sang-hyuk glanced at Lee Mei-a's closed door, smiled helplessly, and turned around and approached the bedroom.
In the room across the door, Li Meier secretly attached herself immediately after entering the door, put her little ear on the door and eavesdropped on the movement outside the door, she was waiting for Li Xianghyuk to come and knock on the door, she suddenly heard Li Xianghyuk outside the door as if her mobile phone was ringing, and her first reaction was to be sure that Zheng Xiujing had called again, but after hearing the words "Sister Xiuzhen", her little heart that was inexplicably mentioned was put down again.
But she waited and waited until Lee Sang-hyuk's phone ended, but the knock on the door never sounded, and she couldn't help kicking a little bear on the pedal in the house with some annoyance, and then lifted it up and knocked her head twice, it was a gift from Lee Sang-hyuk when she was thirteen years old, but it seemed that she had been used as a stand-in for Lee Sang-hyuk, and every time Lee Sang-hyuk knocked her on the head before, she would secretly take out this little bear to vent her anger if she didn't dare to fight back.
.....
After greeting his father the next day, Lee Sang-hyuk knocked on Lee Mi-a's door again and said, "Brother is going to Seoul, do you want to go with me?" ”
Lee Sang-hyuk, who waited for a while and didn't get a response, couldn't help but shrug his shoulders helplessly, and was about to turn around and go out, but the door behind him suddenly opened, and the neatly dressed Lee Mi-ah stood at the door, puffing out her mouth and looking at Lee Sang-hyuk very dissatisfied.
"Then let's go, our Miss Mei'er!" Lee Sang-hyuk couldn't help but smile and rubbed Lee Mi-a's head and made a gesture of please.
"Hmph." Li Mei'er raised her head and snorted, and broke away from Lee Sang-hyuk's hand on her head in dissatisfaction.
......
The two of them got into a car sent by S.M to pick up people, and after about three hours of driving, they quickly arrived near Seoul's Seji-dong.
Because last night S.M announced the news that the book signing will be held in Gwanghwamun tomorrow, and Lee Sang-hyuk also updated the news of the book signing in the Fansclub of the Daum portal almost simultaneously, many fans who got the news from various channels have left messages on the Internet to express their support, and even some fans from other places have said that they will go to Seoul tomorrow to support the scene.
By the time Lee Sang-hyuk arrived, a large number of fans had gathered at the scene, and the video store near Gwanghwamun was gradually in short supply, and from time to time, the staff of the video store moved out of the MAD box to the outside shelves for fans to snap up.
"Is there anything else? Hurry up! This is the shouting that occurs in many video stores, because there are many people who are ready to help friends who can't make it to the scene to buy Lee Sang-hyuk to sign autographs, so there are often dozens of MAD on the front shelves, and they are sold out when it is the turn of the fifth person.
The staff of S.M Company, who was in charge of the signing meeting in Guanghuamen Square, were also a little stunned when they looked at the hot episodes in the surrounding audio and video stores, and they did not expect that a newcomer's signing meeting would be able to cause such a rush to buy.
One of the people in charge of the S.M company at the scene is a young man in his early thirties, Zhao Yunhao, who was originally dressed in formal clothes today, while directing the security personnel to maintain the order of the fans at the scene, while arranging the staff to arrange the signing scene, his forehead is already sweating slightly.
Zhao Yunhao loosened the tie under his neck slightly, picked up a bottle of functional drink from the table and took a sip of it, and then remembered something, quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a call.
"Hey, Assistant Wang, has Lee Sang-hyuk arrived?" After answering the phone, Zhao Yunhao seemed a little impatient and asked.
"Arrived, I'm parking, he and his sister have already gotten out of the car."
"His sister? Oh, it's called Li Mei'er, right? Zhao Yunhao quickly recalled it in his mind and immediately reacted, as a person in charge of the scene, he still has a relatively comprehensive grasp of this information, "Well, bring them over after parking the car, the fans at the scene have been waiting for a long time." ”
"Okay."
.......
"Brother, this is..."After jumping out of the car, Li Meier was startled by the noisy crowd in Guanghuamen Square.
"The book signing." Lee Sang-hyuk smiled and winked at Lee Mi-a, "Didn't brother tell you that you were going to come out of MAD?" ”
"But... There are so many people. Li Meier couldn't help but say with some amazement when she saw the long queue at the entrance of the video store near Guanghuamen Square.
"Of course, my brother is very popular."
"Hmph, stinky beauty!"
....
"Ah, Sang-hyuk, you're finally here, the fans have been waiting for a long time." When Zhao Yunhao saw Lee Sang-hyuk and Lee Mi-a, who were walking slowly behind Wang's assistant, he immediately walked up and said very enthusiastically.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." After the meeting, Lee Sang-hyuk bowed slightly apologetically, obviously South Korea's social etiquette had penetrated into the depths of his thoughts.
"It's okay, it's just that there are more and more fans, and it's a little difficult to maintain order." Seeing that Lee Sang-hyuk was so polite and did not have the slightest arrogance after becoming famous, Cho Yun-ho said with a very satisfied smile, you must know that according to Lee Sang-hyuk's development momentum, if nothing else, the road in the entertainment industry will definitely be smooth in the future, and I am afraid that it will not be something that the person in charge of the signing meeting of a company like him can contact casually.
"This is my sister Li Meier, sure enough, like my brother, one is handsome and the other is beautiful." Seeing Li Mei'er behind Lee Sang-hyuk, Cho Yun-ho immediately said with appreciation.
"Hello, I'm Li Mei'er." After hearing Zhao Yunhao's words, Li Meier, who was not very suitable for this occasion, said in a somewhat restrained tone.
After all, she is only a fifteen-year-old junior high school student, although she can usually see the communication on various occasions on TV, but when she is really on the scene, she finds that she has an indescribable nervousness.
"Brother, how did he do that?" At this moment, she secretly looked at her brother Lee Sang-hyuk, who was only two years older than herself, and her face always had a hint of a smile and the look of the thirty-something-year-old uncle in front of her who was talking and laughing freely, and she couldn't help but have a trace of curiosity in her heart.
