"Has the popularity completely surpassed Lee Da-joon's "Love Me"?"
"Yes, it has surpassed 'Love Me' now. Mr. Lu Yuan's 'Gangnam Style' is so magical that I started to dance along. President Cui, to be honest, my mind is full of the melody of 'Gangnam Style'... It's like it's taken root in my head. I can't forget it!"
"Okay! It seems that this song 'Gangnam Style' is really amazing. By the way, the number of copies of our second batch of albums in Korea is 30,000, right?"
"Yes, thirty thousand!"
“When will the first batch arrive?”
"About three o'clock in the afternoon!"
"Can we ask the factory to prepare more?"
"We have already communicated with the factory and hope to receive another 28,000 tickets by 8 pm. We will collect 70,000 tickets today and break the record!"
"Okay! I understand!"
South Korea.
Star Entertainment.
After Cui Chengguo looked at the entertainment industry popularity curve and online comments handed to him by his assistant, his mood suddenly improved!
Although Lu Yuan had a certain influence internationally, his influence in Korea was still not as high as that of a superstar. After all, the Korean entertainment industry has its own standards...
Although Lu Yuan is not ugly, and is the type that becomes more attractive the more you look at him, in fact, in terms of appearance, Lu Yuan does not really conform to the aesthetic standards of the Korean people.
after all……
Lu Yuan really does not have the feminine handsomeness of Korean male stars, nor does he have the ability to exude charm like middle-aged uncles, so Lu Yuan's popularity in Korea can only be considered first-tier. In terms of the number of fans, he is probably not as good as other top first-tier stars.
Therefore, when Choi Seong-guk was planning the sales of the first batch of albums, he more or less intended to maintain a level that was slightly higher than Lee Da-jun but not much higher.
He never thought that Lu Yuan's album would break the record!
but!
Judging from the popularity online and the data generated by the album in the media, "Lu Yuan" definitely has a chance to break the Korean album record!
In South Korea, the record for the most albums sold on the first day was Joo Hyo-jun's "Future You", which sold 50,000 copies directly and caused a sensation!
After all, South Korea is not China. If a movie can sell 20,000 copies on the first day, it will directly reach the top!
And fifty thousand!
How can it not be a sensation?
As for the album "Lu Yuan"...
It seems like breaking the record is not a problem now?
Cui Chengguo stood in the office and looked out the window silently...
For some unknown reason, I felt a sense of pride and excitement.
The thought of a new record being created by my own hands, and surpassing KS's sales record of 20,000 copies...
this!
How can it not make people excited?
…
R book.
Although Lu Yuan's popularity in Japan is not as crazy as in China, it is much better than in South Korea.
The first batch of albums sold out completely within an hour and a half.
Miyata looked at the sales of 15,000 of the first batch of albums and then called the distribution company.
The person in charge over there sounded a little incoherent!
"Mr. Miyata, it's about to break, it's about to break, unprecedented, it's about to break, Mr. Miyata!"
“…”
The voice on the other end of the phone was excited and thrilled, accompanied by a crazy roar that wanted to go up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
Miyata didn't even understand what the other party was trying to say, he just felt his head buzzing.
About two minutes later, when the voice over there calmed down a little, Miyata finally heard the voice over there.
That's what they mean.
The first batch of albums sold very well, the second batch was also sold out, and now the third batch is out...
If the three batches of albums are added together, R Japan’s album on the first day can conservatively sell 90,000 copies!
Ninety thousand!
This is a crazy and suffocating number.
Directly refreshed the historical record of 85,000 on the single-day sales chart of R's physical album!
Records...
It was broken inadvertently!
How could the person in charge over there not be excited?
After seeing the data, Miyata clenched his fists violently. He felt sincerely happy for Lu Yuan!
“This is a record breaker!”
"He exists to break all kinds of records!"
"call!"
"What kind of sales myth can this album create in Japan?"
Although, Miyata has done the most in the film and television industry...
But Miyata couldn't calm down for a long time after hanging up the phone. He looked up the sales figures in Korea again. When he learned that the sales figures in Korea also broke the record...
He actually felt a sense of honor as if he had witnessed the birth of a legend and the birth of an era.
He was so excited that he called Lu Yuan...
But I found that the phone was turned off!
…
R book.
Tele Comics.
"Dear Japanese friends, hello everyone, this is my first album..."
Yukiko also bought a copy of Lu Yuan's album.
After buying it, she couldn't wait to watch it with all the fan girls in the company.
The beginning is actually similar to the Korean version, the only difference is that all the little girls found that Lu Yuan's hair turned red and he was wearing a basketball uniform.
The first song on this album is a Japanese rock song...
When the MV started playing, everyone realized that this was a basketball court!
The basketball court looks a little dim though!
"Coach, I want to play basketball!"
"coach!"
"Gorilla dunk!"
"boom!"
“…”
A series of very strange, childish-sounding Japanese voices were heard.
Then.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The prelude begins.
The prelude sounded very much like the sound of playing basketball, and after each sound of basketball, the lights on the basketball court would lighten up a little bit.
Following right on!
The background gradually lengthened, and then people playing basketball appeared in the huge basketball court...
Countless spectators, shouting and cheering, appeared in the originally empty venue. All the basketball players were fighting for the ball and sweating.
Of course, in the crowd, Lu Yuan with red hair looked exceptionally conspicuous.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Background music started playing...
"大（だい）都（と）会（かい）に servant（ぼく）はもう一（ひと）人（り）で (Wandering alone in the metropolis)
Tou(な)げ屋(す)てられたempty(あき)カンのようだ(like an empty beer can being discarded)…”
Accompanied by background music.
The background music was very nice and the girls were fascinated by it.
But what fascinated them even more was that they found that the red-haired Lu Yuan was panting, staring at the basket, sweating, and dribbling the basketball towards the distant backboard with extraordinary determination...
Bypass one opponent after another!
Avoid being robbed again and again!
Then, during the music**.
"ah!"
Lu Yuan suddenly flew into the air...
“Bang!”
After a burst of shouting as if he had used up all his strength, Lu Yuan slammed the ball with a charming and extremely crazy move!
When dunking, there is a touching sound.
Then...
Lu Yuan panted, stood firmly on the ground, and made a victory gesture to the audience.
On the field, all the audience stood up and screamed...
"This is my way, this is my basketball!"
"This... is my world!"
"This is the slam dunk master!"
During the music.
Lu Yuan said this in a very childish way facing the camera.
Then, the scene switched to the sunset...
In the sunset...
The players are practicing basketball very hard.
There are various small plots interspersed in it, and even some PK plots between bad students!
There are many sentimental clips, accompanied by the song "Until the End of the World", which is extremely touching!
After watching this MV, Yukiko felt her blood boiling immediately, and several girls in the company even cried.
They shouted Lu Yuan's name.
The company was in turmoil.
After the MV was over and her excitement subsided a little, Yukiko subconsciously went to the office and opened the information Lu Yuan gave her last month, as well as the first version of the comic manuscript she drew.
When she saw the words "Slam Dunk" suddenly written on the manuscript, she remembered what her boss said.
"Yukiko, in June, we need to prepare the first drawing of this comic. It would be great if it can be released! There will be a surprise!"
She understood.
This MV is indeed a MV, but in addition to being a MV and an album!
Still a very impressive advertisement!
Yukiko knew that her boss was proficient in various advertising methods, but she didn't expect that advertising could be done in this way!
and……
And the fight was so impeccable!
Then, she looked at the little girls who were still immersed in the MV.
"Girls, we need to get started!"
“In June, we must draw the first part of Slam Dunk!”
"The boss's album will create a miracle, and our comics will create another miracle!"
"come on!"
Then...
R's "remote" comics company is working in full swing in a state of excitement.
…
USA.
McVis carefully opened the American version of Lu Yuan's album.
"Dear American friends, hello, this is..."
After a clichéd English greeting, the MV gradually began.
American music videos are a stage.
When McVis saw the stage, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Then...
He saw Lu Yuan's look.
Lu Yuan was wearing a hat, a long black suit, white socks and leather shoes, and was standing in the center of the stage.
Then the music started.
McVis scratched his head in confusion. He didn't know why, but after looking at Lu Yuan...
He felt something inexplicably strange.
Then...
When Lu Yuan started moving.
His pupils shrank!
My breathing seemed to have stagnated and I felt like I was suffocating!
this!
