142 [Merry-go-round] begging for subscription
Half an hour later, after the two of them finished taking a shower, Li Yange took Cheng Shaojun to the hotel's restaurant for a simple meal.
After finishing the meal, after the two went back to the room, Li Yange accompanied her to watch the variety show for a while, although she couldn't understand what the people inside said, but the funny facial expressions and exaggerated performances, as well as the big color TV, still made Cheng Shaojun watch with relish.
Until more than eleven o'clock in the night, Li Yange saw that she was tired and sleepy, so she said goodbye and went back to the room.

During the production of the album "Yan Ge", Polygram began to carry out a small range of publicity, and it was not until the end of May that Polygram really invested money in publicity.
Although the amount of publicity invested is not much, it covers a wide range of areas, such as radio, television, posters, magazines, etc., almost all of which can be promoted.
In addition, there are two people who have promoted Miyuki Nakajima and Ryuichi Sakamoto at concerts and magazines and magazines, but a considerable number of fans are curious about this "album" produced by Chinese musicians.
But pure music albums have always been a niche culture, and there are not many people who really like them, and Polygram did a simple market survey in mid-June, and then interviewed 100 people on the street, of which one-third said that they had never heard of this album or Li Yange's name.
The remaining two-thirds, although they have heard Li Yange's name, have only heard about it through the radio and posters, and the people who have really understood it or have the idea to buy it account for less than one-third.
Seeing this situation, Polygram was not disappointed, and continued to complete the follow-up publicity work step by step.
After all, before the production of this album, the people in the market analysis department said that the possibility of the album selling is almost equal to zero, if it were not for the eyes of the Chinese mainland market, Li Yange's album did not mention whether it could be produced, even if it was only done, it would basically not be released, and it would have been thrown into the warehouse to fill PolyGram's huge song library.
So if you expect it, you can't talk about disappointment.
Seeing that after he finished talking about the poor sales prospect of the release, Li Yange lowered his head and was silent, Fujiwara Yuki was afraid of hitting his confidence, so he hurriedly explained: "Li Sang doesn't need to be frustrated, there have been several well-known singers who have released albums recently, and you are a newcomer, which is also normal, and when the album is officially released, I believe that more people will definitely know about you." ”
Li Yange shook his head: "No, I'm not depressed, I have considered the issue of album sales before, pure music album sales are generally low, and I still know this." ”
As early as last year, when Yuki Fujiwara came to Beijing to talk to him about cooperation, Li Yange was mentally prepared for poor album sales.
On the one hand, because of the positioning of the album, it is a well-established fact that pure music records are not easy to sell all over the world; On the other hand, it is said that the music scene is thriving continuously, excellent singers emerge in an endless stream, and more than a dozen albums are released almost every month.
If you want the album to sell well, in addition to the name of the singer, the most important thing is quality and publicity.
In terms of fame, Li Yange is basically equal to zero in this book, and although the quality of the album is good, it is too bad in terms of publicity.
Take Miyuki Nakajima as an example, after she filled in the Japanese lyrics of "Where the Stars Are", before the official recording, the people from the publicity department of the record company revealed the news of the new song through various channels, first attracting the attention of some fans, and then waiting for the album to be recorded, and then advertising it in major music magazines, radio, and television.
"Li Sang is humble, the quality of your album is very good, I believe that it will be a big hit sooner or later."
Seeing that Fujiwara Yuki seemed to be confident in himself, Li Yange couldn't cry or laugh a little, even he was not optimistic about the prospects of album sales, and he really didn't know where his lost confidence came from.
Of course, it is natural to be happy to be a big seller, but Li Yange didn't have much hope, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay to sell or something, I just hope that the album can be bought a little more, so that the sales will not be too ugly, but thank you Mr. Fujiwara for his good words." ”
Because there was Cheng Shaojun on the side, the two chatted for a while, Fujiwara Yuki got up and said goodbye, the album will be officially released the day after tomorrow, and he still has a lot of things to do, but in order to facilitate Li Yange, who doesn't know Japanese, to go out to play, he also helped hire a translator.

One o'clock in the afternoon.
Tokyo Disneyland.
"Mr. Li, Miss Cheng, this Disneyland was built in 1982, and is expected to be completed with a total area of 43 hectares, mainly divided into six parks, such as World Market, Adventure Park, Western Park, and Dream Park, which are almost completely built in accordance with Disneyland in the United States, and is known as the first amusement park in Asia.
A young girl in her twenties with long hair in a shawl walked in front of Li Yange and Cheng Shaojun and explained to them the various parks and facilities of the amusement park.
The girl's name is Chen Hui, she is an international student from Baodao, and she will work part-time at the travel agency during her vacation time, and it was Yuki Fujiwara who specially found Li Yange to be a guide.
Cheng Shaojun looked up, the tall Ferris wheel towered on the ground, just looking up from below, she felt frightened, let alone sitting in it herself, she was a little surprised: "Won't this fall down?" ”
"No, Miss Cheng, the Ferris wheel has perfect safety measures, and if there is any problem, it will be stopped urgently."
"Stop? Isn't the one who goes up hanging on it? ”
Chen Hui was stunned, thought about it and nodded: "Theoretically, this is the case, but since the opening of the park, there has not been a single problem with the Ferris wheel." ”
Li Yange saw that Cheng Shaojun seemed to be very interested, and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to go up and sit down?" ”
"Huh? Forget it. Cheng Shaojun shook her head violently, for the Ferris wheel, she just felt novel, if she really wanted to go up and sit down, the height of dozens of meters would not scare people to death.
Chen Hui said: "If Miss Cheng is afraid of heights, there is a merry-go-round in front of her." ”
Merry-go-round?
Cheng Shaojun originally wanted to ask what it was, but she was a little embarrassed, Li Yange on the side saw her embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, let's have a play, the merry-go-round is still very good." ”
Immediately, he pulled Cheng Shaojun's people and followed Chen Hui towards the merry-go-round area.
When he saw a seat decorated as a wooden horse and moving up and down on a large rotating platform, Cheng Shaojun came to a trance, and it turned out that the circle was a merry-go-round.
At this time, there were not many people queuing up on the side of the merry-go-round, Li Yange estimated that if they queued up now, they would be able to sit down after this round of tourists came down, and hurriedly pulled Cheng Shaojun's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and line up." ”
After the two left, Chen Hui didn't go, she was a guide, she had to watch from the side, and she had been a tour guide for two years, Disney had long been tired of playing.
The queue is not long, only about four or five minutes.
Under the arrangement of the staff, Cheng Shaojun sat on the body of a colorful unicorn, she looked left and right, touched the horn of the unicorn again, and said to Li Yange beside her: "Isn't this the bamboo horse that children only play?" ”
"Pretty much, but this adult can sit."
At this time, the staff saw that they were all sitting up, and they also ran to the side and opened the electric switch.
Because of the relationship between her feet off the ground, the sudden rotation made Cheng Shaojun startled, she was busy hugging the unicorn, and her legs were also clamped tightly, for fear that she would fall off without giving up.
"It's okay Shaojun, you won't fall off if you sit firmly, and the speed of rotation is not fast, look at me, let go of your hands, how interesting." Li Yange spread his hands and enjoyed his face.
Seeing this, Cheng Shaojun also carefully let go of the hand holding the unicorn's head, and slowly opened his hands as usual.
Today's weather is a little hot, driven by the rotation of the big platform, the breeze blows people's cheeks, Cheng Shaojun, who opened his hands, only feels very comfortable with the breeze, and can't help squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying this cool moment.
Suddenly, she felt that her hand was grabbed, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Li Yange.
"Hold on tight so you don't have to worry about falling." Li Yange grinned.
Cheng Shaojun broke free a few times, but the merry-go-round had been fully activated, and she was afraid of falling off with too much force, so she had to let him hold on to her hand.
Seeing her acquiescence, Li Yange smiled even more happily.
Hearing the laughter, Cheng Shaojun's cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
