As soon as Chu Bei and Nan Qiao got home, Nan Qiao couldn't wait to open the album, take out the CD player, and prepare to play it for experimentation.
Chu Bei, on the other hand, happily put on Fantasy's baseball cap and gestured with the poster, wondering where to hang it.
The young couple were very happy to have bought the album in advance. Chu Bei suddenly sighed and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Li Hyuk didn't come to Shancheng for the autograph session."
Nan Qiao prepared the CD player and said with relief: "It doesn't matter. Isn't there one in Chengdu? I'll go to Chengdu then."
"Okay, but there's no holiday!"
"Can I ask for leave?" Nan Qiao said, choosing the first song to play, "Dad, I'm Back".
Chu Bei and Nan Qiao were sitting on the sofa, looking expectantly, listening to the CD. First there was a burst of thunder, then the sound of classical music and cello, and then Li He's familiar rap came out.
"I heard that usually after war comes peace
Why do you see my dad beating my mom all the time?
He takes it out on my mom just because he's drunk.
I really can’t stand it and think I’m a skinny guy
Growing up, I only had the warmth of my mother
Why is my father so cruel~"
Listening to the song and looking at the lyrics book, Chu Bei and Nan Qiao looked at each other. Chu Bei asked: "Is Li He's father a domestic violence man?"
Nan Qiao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this song is well written and has great social significance."
Girls generally pay more attention to love songs. This does not mean that girls do not care about social issues, but compared to boys, girls are much less sensitive in this regard.
Nan Qiao instinctively felt that this song was not Li Hyuk's account of his domestic violence, but a call to real society to pay attention to the issue of domestic violence.
A great singer should not just be famous for singing love songs, he should also have responsibilities that he should bear.
While Nan Qiao and Chu Bei were enjoying the wonderful feeling brought by the "Fantasy" album at home, the autograph session at Shanghai Plaza 66 officially started after Li He appeared.
"Take your time, don't crowd, come in line." Cheng Lixiang shouted.
The fans are all fairly well-educated, probably because the fans who come are not too young, generally around 22 or 3 years old, and there are very few teenagers who are 16 or 17 years old.
It is estimated that the students are all in class at this time, and they will have a headache tomorrow and the day after tomorrow before the weekend. At that time, when there are many fans, it is easy to get confused.
Lee Hyuk sat at the table, and fans began to come forward one by one to ask Lee Hyuk to sign his autograph.
Li Hyuk didn't sign a single name, but shook hands with the fans and said a few greetings, which made the fans excited.
The anchor of Dajin Chainzi just now has not left yet, live broadcasting the entire signing event to the water friends in the live broadcast room. He did not grab the album, so he could only watch it from the outside.
However, some anchors have grabbed the album. Liu Feier, who has just moved to station B to do live broadcasts, is a fan of Li Hyuk and often covers Li Hyuk's songs in the live broadcast room.
This live broadcast also cooperates with the official Bilibili to promote the signing event live. This is obviously a marketing link arranged by Fantasy Studio.
Therefore, when Liu Feier held the album and the live broadcast assistant beside him came to Li He holding the live broadcast equipment, the security did not stop him.
Liu Feier excitedly handed over the album and said to Li He: "Li He, I am your loyal fan."
Li He signed his name on the special plane and smiled at Liu Feier: "I know you, your cover of my song is very good."
Liu Feier was very pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that Li He had listened to her cover. She said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you for your compliment."
"Keep working hard..." Li He and Liu Feier shook hands.
Liu Fei'er's live broadcast room was extremely popular at this time, with popularity exceeding 5 million, and the barrage was so dense that it was hard to see clearly.
"Wow, Fei'er's big name is known by Li He."
"I'm so happy to be able to shake hands with my idol."
"I want to go too. I want a signed album."
"Li Hyuk is so handsome, he has no blind spots at all."
The barrage was lively, and Liu Feier, who got a signed album, was equally happy. At this time, various gifts were given out in the live broadcast room.
"Thank you everyone for the gifts. Some friends asked if this album can be smoked. No, I want to collect this album." Liu Feier smiled very happily.
Many anchor colleagues have seen Liu Feier and are envious of her for having close contact with Li He, but this is the resource of Station B.
Liu Feier also defeated a group of anchors and fought his way out of the Ten Thousand Army.
While the autograph session was going on, the album also began to be fully released. The previous pre-sale of the digital album had already generated sales of 1.15 million copies. Unlocked at twelve o'clock, the sales of the digital album continued to rise. The autograph session was not over yet.
Already exceeded 2 million copies.
With 2 million copies, Lee Hyuk once again set a new record, a digital album sales record, and also broke "Jay's" record of 1.71 million albums.
"Fantasy" has also become the highest-selling Chinese album since 2000.
Not only that, the album "Fantasy" has received widespread praise. The media, musicians, and ordinary listeners speak very highly of this high-quality album.
In fact, the media has been praising "Fantasy" before, but there have been too many cases of false marketing before, and with the tempo of the trolls, the overall success has not been achieved in terms of reputation.
But after the album was released, this high-quality album immediately conquered a large number of fans.
"'Fantasy' not only breaks through Lee Hyuk's production level, but also makes his creation more mature. Lee Hyuk integrates his unique fantasy and personal characteristics into the song." - "Sina.com" review
"The album not only includes lyrical R&B songs, but Li Hyuk also expanded his imagination and incorporated Hip-Hop, rock, accelerated R&B, and ethnic styles into the album." - "Chinese Music Critics Magazine" review
""Fantasy" fully reflects Lee Hyuk's musical diversity and changes, as well as his ability to master various music styles. In this album, Lee Hyuk used a large number of legato singing methods, which successfully broke through
The restriction of keeping the words straight and round has also caused my words to be greatly blurred." - "Netease Entertainment" review
"In this album, unconstrained musical ideas are everywhere, and even the song titles are interesting: "Nunchaku", "Ninja", "Love in BC" and so on.
In "Dad, I'm Back", Li Hyuk boldly used his little-known cello performance;
"Ninja" has the thrill of entering the world of Japanese video games and the eye-catching and changeable MTV multi-role play gives people a mysterious, strange and changeable feeling;
"Love in BC" returns to the beautiful legend of Mesopotamia, and cuneiform writing appears in the lyrics, which is quite creative;
"Nunchaku" was created because Li Hyuk likes to watch Chinese martial arts movies. The brave jumps like Bruce Lee in MTV are impressive." - "Penguin Entertainment" review
Not only did the media rate it highly, but so did the fans. The moment "Fantasy" unlocked comments, in just ten minutes, there were more than 10,000 messages.
"Li He and I are about the same level. We both drink pearl milk tea at noon, a big cup."
"I don't know what to say. I'm 23 years old now and I only know this song by Lee Hyuk! Good! Listen! I've only listened to those songs that everyone has heard before, but since I listened to "Nunchaku"
I knew I was superficial and too awesome."
"This album is simply a model of a pop album. In addition to the classic Lee love songs, there are also ones that reflect domestic violence, vampire themes, and historical background."
"As a Shanghai person, I like the song "Shanghai 1943" the most. The old neighborhoods and small alleys are indeed traditions that only Shanghai people can understand."
"It's wrong of you to say that. I'm not from Shanghai, and I understand. But is "Dad, I'm Back" serious? Is Li Hyuk's father a domestic violence man?"
"Don't spread rumors, Li Hyuk's father is very good, this is just a song Li Hyuk wrote to reflect domestic violence."
"Has no one mentioned 'Sorry'? I think this song is underrated and absolutely beautiful."
"No one underestimates it. All twelve songs are so awesome, even better than last year. I guess the Golden Melody Awards will be booked for next year."
"The Golden Melody Award is scheduled to be plus one..."
"The Golden Melody Award is scheduled to be increased by two..."
Not only are the reviews very good, the album ratings are also quite good. On Douban, Li Hyuk's last album scored 8.9 points, and the "Fantasy" album scored 9.6 points. It is the highest-rated Chinese album so far.
Even if there will be a decline in the later period, it will still be among the best Chinese albums.
Of course, what is more important to the record company is how well the album is sold. This is very important. After all, releasing an album is not charity. No matter how good the reputation is, if you can't make money, it will be a failure.
