The Rise of Korean Entertainment

To be honest, Li Menglong's method was nothing. He just tried every means to allow people to buy two people's albums at the same time, so similar elements were added from the structural design of the album.

The small disc is the most important, which is equivalent to buying two and getting one free; the price is also the same, the single disc is also packaged separately, but the price is 15,000, while the two together are only 25,000.

Whether it is in terms of price or physical goods, Li Menglong and SW are full of sincerity. It can be said that selling this way may make less than selling alone, but it is for the sake of influence.

It’s not yet clear whether the effect is good or bad. After all, no one of these people who could come in the middle of the night would buy just one chapter of the album. Moreover, Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon also came over later, so they made it a small album. autograph session.

Because there were not many people, they all signed in less than half an hour. This was just ready-made market research, so Lee Soon-gyu and the two asked everyone for their opinions. Naturally, the answers were mainly positive: the song is good, the person is beautiful, the key is The idea of ​​the mv is also very good!

Carrying the somewhat anxious Kim Taeyeon and others back to the dormitory, Li Menglong couldn't help but said: "Isn't it that you are nervous?"

"I'm not nervous!" Li Shunkyu said instinctively, but noticing Li Menglong's gaze, she also looked down and saw her hands that were a little white because she clenched her fist too hard.

She didn't believe that she wasn't nervous, so she held her neck and said arrogantly: "I'm just nervous, can't I?"

"Okay, but it's not necessary. The company will never terminate your solo plan just because your album is on the market!" Li Menglong promised, patting his chest.

It sounds a little heart-warming, but the more Lee Soon-kyu thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he feels. What does it mean to have an album hit the streets? Why are their two albums so popular?

"Besides, you're not afraid of being thrown into the street. When the time comes, I'll package up Xiaoxian and make him a big star in film, television, singing, and singing!" Li Menglong said exaggeratedly.

Yoona also came over and interjected: "I just want to be a movie star!"

"You're not greedy!" Kim Taeyeon pushed away Yoona who was about to come over to flatter her: "If I tell you that this album has been sold to the public, does that mean you're also a loser to Director Lee?"

"Why am I embarrassed? Does anyone dare to say that the MV was not shot well?" Li Menglong said fearlessly. Even girls cannot refute this point without conscience.

As the MVs were released simultaneously on the computer after 12, the audience has already seen these two MVs. To be honest, there is nothing unusual about the MVs at first glance, but now Li Menglong's fans are also a little bit, so I watched them over and over again. You can also see some clues.

Some of the laid-out jokes were also found, but many people found that some key hints were always missing, so those who had long cherished the wish to buy the album at midnight stepped forward to show off.

A video of the unpacking of these two albums has become popular on the Internet. After all, it is quite interesting that an album can have the effect of a toy, and the content of the small disc has also attracted everyone's attention.

However, South Korea's piracy censorship is still very strict. Since SW has not put the contents of the small disc online, basically no one will spread it in private. So in order to know more details, should I buy an album?

However, these methods are the icing on the cake after all. The most fundamental thing that can arouse people's desire to buy is the song itself. If the song is good, everything is easy to say.

As for the song itself, the discussion is also very lively, not because of the quality of the song, but in terms of style, Lee Soon Kyu's trot is really eye-catching. Just hearing this gimmick is enough to make everyone curious.

Isn't it a contrast for a currently popular idol to sing a folk song style that young people won't listen to? At least many people will subconsciously click in and listen.

After listening to it, I just got a feeling. The quality of this song cannot be overemphasized. The emotion and singing are also close to perfection. Coupled with the after-dinner conversation with Li Menglong, this song is slowly becoming popular. trend.

As for Kim Taeyeon's i, it has also received a lot of popularity. Although it is a mainstream style, the songs are also carefully selected. And the key is that Kim Taeyeon's popularity is high enough. This is why the company has always wanted Kim Taeyeon to go. The reason for firing the first shot.

To be more precise, Lee Soon Kyu is actually a partner. At least Lee Eun Hee and others were counting on Kim Taeyeon in their initial plan. Popularity can really explain everything.

So when popularity and topics were tied together by Li Menglong in various ways, it was natural for the album to sell well. After all, it seemed to be worth spending an extra 10,000 yuan.

However, there are criticisms. The simplest thing is that the two songs can be put into one CD. These people believe that SW and Li Menglong are trying to make money.

But those who purify themselves will purify themselves. Can it still be called a solo of two people in one album? Fortunately, there are not a few fans who speak up for the girls, so it's not one-sided.

Lee Menglong had a very comfortable sleep all night, and he was still in the mood to prepare some delicious food for the girls. However, when he saw the big dark circles under the eyes of Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon, he couldn't help but complain: "You guys Didn't the two of you sleep all night? Did you do something shameful? "

The ambiguity of these words was greatly increased. Fortunately, neither of them had the energy to argue with Li Menglong. They lay on the dining table and tilted their heads and said quietly: "Why are the album sales statistics so slow?"

"Please wake up and have a good time. The album was released last night, and the first round of sales will not be completed until noon!" Li Menglong said speechlessly, and he must give fans time to buy it.

As if he could no longer hear Li Menglong's explanation, Li Shunkyu asked cautiously: "Why don't you call the company and ask, in case it comes out!"

"Okay, we're not afraid of how much the album sells. At worst, you can make a movie with me then!" Li Menglong patted the heads of the two girls, and then pushed over two bowls of hot rice porridge.

I have to say that Li Menglong's comfort was effective, and perhaps even more effective was the rice porridge. After eating the hot food, the sleepiness immediately came over.

They didn't go back to the room. The two of them cuddled up on the sofa and fell asleep. Their music videos were on the tablet next to them, so they could click on them.

Li Menglong continued to eat breakfast with Yoona and Seohyun: "I told you not to imitate them in the future, but to be more generous! After all, you have to have the confidence of the first girl group!"

"It's impossible for Oppa not to be nervous!" Xu Xian explained seriously: "When the movie in which I was the second female lead was released, I was very nervous!"

Thinking about it, Yoona thought it made sense. There was no time when she wasn't worried about TV dramas. Even if the TV dramas were sold out, she still prayed that the ratings would suddenly explode every time a new episode was aired. Thinking about it, she felt... Wronged.

In order to make a comeback, Yoona began to remind Li Menglong every day: "The Ernies' album has been released, does OPPA have nothing else to do? Then hurry up and write the script!"

"I asked you, did you accept benefits from Li Enxi? Don't imitate her day by day. You must recognize your own camp and not be a traitor!" Li Menglong nodded Yuner's head with his chopsticks.

"I'm not a traitor!" Yoona said firmly, and then rolled her eyes: "I'm complaining for Oppa. Many people on the Internet said that Oppa has exhausted his talents!"

"To hell with them!" Li Menglong's attitude towards anti-fans has always been consistent.

Selling albums is complicated, especially in this information age. Physical albums are one part, divided into official website orders and physical store purchases; and music source websites also provide money, on the one hand, by downloading virtual albums, and on the other hand, when playing MVs, you will have to pay SW when the number of plays reaches a certain amount.

Therefore, looking at album sales alone can no longer accurately measure the popularity of an album, but it is still an indispensable set of data.

Later in the day, the first and most important round of sales figures came out. The numbers were given to Li Menglong, one was 35,000 and the other was 31,000. Although it was incomparable with Girls' Generation's album, which had a guaranteed sales of only a few hundred thousand. , but it is also a good result.

You must know that in this era when albums are not obvious, selling more than 10,000 copies is considered very popular, and this is only the first round of sales. Optimistic estimates include overseas sales of more than 100,000 copies. There is still hope.

"Do you want to wake them up and tell them?" Li Menglong asked, holding up his mobile phone.

"Of course, you guys will definitely want to know the result!" Yoona replied honestly.

Even Xu Xian was happy this time, because she saw Li Menglong's conspiracy, and he said naturally: "Then go tell them!"

Yoona held her cell phone and looked at the incomparable duo behind her. She touched the corner of her mouth and said softly: "It's true that you are so stupid!"

It's always a bit of a psychological burden to wake up a sleeping person, especially these two who haven't slept all night. They are comparing their hearts to each other. Who wants to wake up Yoona? She dares to fall out with him immediately.

After making a final face at Li Menglong, Yoona stayed far away and poked Li Soonkyu's cheek with her fingertips. Maybe the force was too light, so Yoona took two more steps forward. After all, death is not death, so her two desperate hands were pressed against Li Shungui's cheeks, rubbing them like cotton balls.

If eyes could kill, what Lee Soon Kyu shoots now will definitely be bullets. However, Yoona naturally has her own little calculation, her expression is perfectly adjusted, and her acting performance of being sincerely happy for Lee Soon Kyu is extremely wonderful.

"Ernie, your album sold 30,000 copies, you succeeded!"

"Nani? So much? Didn't you lie to me?"

"How dare you, don't you believe it? Do you feel like you are dreaming? It doesn't matter, I will help you confirm that it is reality now!" After saying that, Yoona actually extended her bad hand again.
