At the autograph session in Hangzhou, Li Hyuk caused a huge sensation wherever he went, with countless fans coming to admire him.
Fans who had attended the autograph session from Shanghai before were able to follow him all the way to Hangzhou.
Hangzhou fans were so anxious that they appealed online not to come to Hangzhou again because the albums at the autograph session were no longer available, which triggered a discussion among netizens.
Fans follow their idols and are obsessed with Li Hyuk's music, which has aroused discussions both within and outside the industry. It has been on trending searches several times and has been reported by the media.
After the Four Heavenly Kings in the 1990s, Lee Hyuk is still the first singer to do this. It’s not that other singers are not good, it’s just that compared to Lee Hyuk, other singers have less influence and the breadth of their music audience is also
not enough.
Cui Jian, who has become a full-time music critic, said on Weibo: "I originally thought that the "Jay" album was already a rare enough album that it would not be released in five or six years, but I never expected it.
Within one year, Li Hyuk released an album of higher quality, and the Chinese music scene finally welcomed a superstar again."
There is some controversy as to whether he is a real superstar, but Li Hyuk's name as the little superstar of the music industry has already been hung on his head and has been recognized by the public.
Just after finishing the book signing, Li He returned to the hotel and almost collapsed from exhaustion. Reba went back to Hengdian to film a movie and did not continue to follow.
At this time, manager Cheng Lixiang discussed some work arrangements with Li He: "After the autograph session, Mr. Fan means that you can appear on several variety shows to promote it."
Li He shook his head and said: "Forget it about variety shows. Unless it's a talk show or something like that, you can still consider it."
"Just as I'm about to say this, the main station has arranged an interview for you in "Face to Face", and you will be interviewed at BJ." Cheng Lixiang said.
"This is okay, what else?"
Cheng Lixiang checked the log, and then continued: "After Fengtian's promotion is over, the overseas promotion trip has almost begun. We need to go to a Korean variety show, Popular Gayo Battle, which is a very influential show in South Korea.
variety show."
"I remember that I didn't go to Korea last time for promotion, right? This time it can be considered as fulfilling a wish of Korean fans." Li Hyuk nodded.
Other regions in Asia were a little later than mainland China. The album was fully sold on November 21st, and all achieved good sales.
In Hong Kong and Taiwan, physical albums are more popular, but digital albums have also become popular in recent years, with 50,000 physical albums sold and 80,000 digital albums sold.
In the 1990s, the sales volume in these two places was in the millions. Even if Li He's reputation in these two places is not as great as that in mainland China, the sales volume should not be so low.
But the decline of the record market is a rule of the industry. Let alone Li Hyuk, even if Jay Chou comes in person, it cannot reverse the decline of the markets in both places.
Japan and South Korea created a big surprise. A total of 470,000 records were sold in the two places. Including Southeast Asia and other regions, the total sales volume was 590,000 and nearly 600,000.
As a result, Li Hyuk's "Fantasy" album sales exceeded 4 million copies, reaching 4.22 million copies. According to statistics from the Global Recording Association, "Fantasy" ranked seventh in the year.
Lee Hyuk has achieved such great results just by relying on the Asian market, which has attracted the attention of the world record industry.
According to expert predictions, the total sales of Li Hyuk's album will exceed 5 million. It is not a problem to reach 5.5 million, but it may be a bit difficult to sell 6 million albums.
If Li Hyuk remembers correctly, before he was reborn in time travel, Jay Chou's "The Greatest Work" created 7 million album sales, and the digital album alone contributed more than 6 million copies.
The same goes for Li Hyuk's album. The digital album contributed 3.5 million copies, and the rest were physical albums.
The physical record industry has indeed declined, but the sales of digital records prove that as long as you make good music carefully, there will still be people who listen to it.
After the autograph session in Hangzhou ended, Li Hyuk left for Guangzhou to hold a autograph session, and then headed west to hold the fifth autograph session in Chengdu.
Everywhere he went, it caused a stir among local fans, who even thought that Li Hyuk was holding a concert, but Fantasy Studio announced long ago that the concert plan had been cancelled.
Fans who were looking forward to the concert were disappointed. They had already collected the small money to buy the concert tickets, but there was no concert!
But fans don’t need to panic, Fantasy Studio revealed that next year’s third album will be officially released along with Lee Hyuk’s first world tour.
At that time, fans can watch the concert and buy Lee Hyuk's third album at the same time, which is very happy.
Moreover, there is still a major event at the end of the year, the New Year's Eve concert. With Li Hyuk's current celebrity status, why don't he be invited to perform on stage for more than thirty minutes?
At that time, fans can also watch it as a small concert, which is also a good choice.
However, there is a big debate on which platform Li Hyuk will go to for his New Year's Eve concert in the end. Currently, there are two platforms that are the closest, one is Mango Channel.
Li Hyuk has appeared on Mango Channel many times, and Mango Channel’s New Year’s Eve concert is very competitive.
The other one is the most beautiful New Year's Eve concert at Station B. Li Hyuk came from Station B. Last year, he and Xu Song gave a wonderful performance to the audience at the New Year's Eve concert at Station B.
This time Bilibili still has a chance, and Bilibili is also a shareholder of Fantasy Records.
Other singers and bands from Fantasy Records are also in hot demand. Guns N' Roses has received multiple invitations before, and Mango TV has the highest bid of 1.6 million.
This net worth is considered to be among the highest among all the guests, and Li Hyuk is a bit more expensive. In order to grab Li Hyuk, Blue TV offered as high as 3 million.
This price is not even available to Liu Tianwang and Zhang Xueyou, which shows that Li Hyuk, who has strength and traffic, is highly sought after by TV stations.
However, Li Hyuk hasn't decided on this matter yet, he will finish the book signing first.
At the beginning of December, there have been several heavy snowfalls in the northern land, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans at all. Li Hyuk's autograph session has come to the capital, one in Wangfujing and another in Wukesong. .
By the way, I also accepted an interview with the main station.
The main station's "Face to Face" interview has always been a very sharp and formal interview program. This interview program pays more attention to reality than other programs, and the questions raised are very sharp and go straight to the essence.
"Hello Li He, I am Wang Bingbing, a reporter from the main station." The main station conducted an exclusive interview with Li He at a recording studio of Haidie Music in Beijing.
Li He borrowed this place from Xu Song, which was just suitable for the background of the interview.
"Hello, hello, Reporter Wang, please take a seat!" Li He and Wang Bingbing sat on both sides of the table. The photographer prepared the camera and prepared to take pictures.
"We will be interviewing later, is there anything we can't ask?" Wang Bingbing asked.
Li He said: "It's best to keep things professional and avoid asking about personal gossip."
Wang Bingbing nodded and said: "Don't worry, our main station can still guarantee this."
The front desk would definitely not bother to ask questions like personal gossip, as it would undermine your identity.
Xu Song looked at Li Hyuk who was confidently accepting the interview, and couldn't help but think that the first time he met Li Hyuk was at the top ten singers competition on campus at Station B. Li Hyuk was so confident at that time.
But now, Li Hyuk is more calm and has a faint aura, the aura called a superstar.
