In a few days, Jiang Siming’s album was officially released!
This is also Jiang Siming's first album, and its name is Chicken You Too...
Ahem, I made a mistake, it’s "Appreciation for both Refined and Popular".
This album, the first batch of which sold 500,000 copies, contains all of Jiang Siming's songs and is also the only album Jiang Siming plans to release.
There are also two brand new singles, priced at 55 yuan, which can be said to be a truly conscientious price.
As soon as the album went on sale, fans poured into video stores, bookstores and record stores across the country and willingly paid for it.
Many fans even lined up in front of the store before dawn. This phenomenon disappeared many years ago.
Except for more than ten years ago, when only cassettes were available, album sales were the best, and almost every first-line singer's album would be snapped up.
But in this day and age, how can anyone buy an album? You can just sign up for a membership online and listen to it anywhere.
Albums have only become a means and collection method for ardent fans to support their idols.
Yang Jing is a girl in the third grade of junior high school. Her personality is the same as her name. She is gentle and quiet. She never likes to chase stars. She just likes to read quietly and listen to music in her spare time.
Unlike many female classmates in the class who like to chase celebrities and join the fandom, Yang Jing only loves music that she likes.
Her friend invited her to join Wu Fan's rice circle group, but she refused, and eventually the relationship with her friend broke down because of this.
Yang Jing said that she really doesn’t like chasing stars.
But today, early in the morning, as soon as the morning self-study was over, she ran to a nearby bookstore.
She didn't come to buy a book, but to buy an album.
The bookstore hadn't opened yet, and Yang Jing was surprised to find that there were many people waiting at the door.
And most of them were older than her, including high school students, office workers, and even a few people who looked to be in their thirties or forties.
Yang Jing has never seen this kind of situation before, because usually only students come to this bookstore, and office workers rarely have time to buy books.
Out of curiosity, Yang Jing chose to stand in line at the back.
At this time, the few people in front started chatting.
"Are you here to buy an album too?"
"Yes, Jiang Shen's songs are really good. I've never been star-struck. I plan to buy one and take it home for my collection."
"Me too, I just don't know when this store will open. I'm almost late for work."
"It doesn't matter if I'm late, I just asked for leave."
"I'm even worse. I was ordered by my wife to buy it. She said it would be delicious to eat and drink when I bought it. I couldn't buy a washboard to serve me, oh oh oh..."
Yang Jing heard the chatting content of these adults and covered her mouth and snickered.
At the same time, she felt that she had come at the right time. It turns out that so many people like to listen to brother Jiang Siming sing.
She always thought that she was the weirdo in the school, and other children liked to sing, dance, rap, and listen to those weird and exciting songs.
There are few people who like to listen to Jiang Siming's songs as much as she does.
Jiang Siming's songs are favorite among high school students, but their interest among junior high school students is average.
Because they don’t understand what it means, they think getting high is the best way to do it.
Compared to Jiang Siming's "Luzhou Moon" and "The Wind Rises", they prefer to listen to "Chicken You Are So Beautiful".
Of course, this does not mean all of them, there are still many junior high school students who share the same goals as Yang Jing.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, when Yang Jing was getting a little anxious, the bookstore owner finally came.
This kind of battle even shocked the boss, who thought his store was on fire or had been robbed.
When he learned that they were all here to buy albums, the boss said to them apologetically: "There are only thirty copies. I'm afraid many of you won't be able to buy them."
"Ah? Why are there only thirty?"
"The stock is too little!"
"Thirty tickets are not enough. I have to buy five tickets alone. My friends are all waiting for me."
"Boss, you are too bad at doing business."
"Yes, I don't have any business acumen."
Everyone complained.
The boss smiled bitterly and explained: "Don't blame me, I can only get 30 tickets. I asked for this because of some connections. Many bookstores don't have to buy them."
It's pretty good that a bookstore like this can get 30 copies, but there are only 500,000 in the whole country.
Thirty tickets were quickly snatched up by everyone. Yang Jing was so lucky that she happened to be ranked 30th.
As soon as she bought it, a sister at work asked her: "Little sister, can you sell this album to my sister? How about my sister offering a hundred yuan?"
Yang Jing shook her head and declined politely. Then someone else offered her 150 or 200 yuan to buy her album.
Yang Jing didn't sell it, she just installed the album and went back to school happily.
When she returned to school, there was just time for class, and Yang Jing found that she hadn't eaten breakfast.
But it doesn't matter. If you can grab this album, it's okay not to eat a meal.
Taking advantage of the key moment before class when the art committee led everyone to sing, Yang Jing took out the album from the table.
The exquisite cover packaging and Jiang Siming's handsome profile appeared on the album. Yang Jing felt that Jiang Siming was much prettier than all the little freshmen her classmates liked.
"I really don't understand, if you're just pursuing good looks, why don't you like Brother Jiang?" Yang Jing was puzzled, but she didn't dwell on it.
"Hey, why did you buy the album? Didn't you say you don't chase stars?" My former friend at the same table made a sarcastic sound when he saw it.
Yang Jing ignored it, she was not a star chaser, she just simply liked it.
When the teacher came, she looked at it carefully, put it away, and then started to teach seriously.
After class, her classmates began to spread the word that Yang Jing had bought an album by Jiang Siming.
He also said that Jiang Siming’s album is not valuable at all, it’s only 55 yuan, a bargain.
But not long after she had just promoted it, many senior students came to Yang Jing's class.
They heard that Yang Jing had bought Jiang Siming's album, and they all wanted to buy it from Yang Jing.
There is a wealthy senior female student who is even willing to pay 5,000 yuan to buy it!
Yang Jing still didn't sell it, so the wealthy student had no choice but to leave angrily. Yang Jing's classmates also laughed at her, saying she was stupid and had too much money.
"You little brats know nothing. This album is now sold out all over the country. He is selling it for 55 yuan just to give back to the fans without making any money. Only a fool like you would really think that this album is worthless, kid.
You'd better go after your beautiful cock, you frog in the well! If you dare to slander my idol again, I'll find someone to tear your mouth apart!"
Yang Jing's deskmate was scared to tears on the spot. The intimidation of the senior class was so terrifying~~
The first batch of 500,000 albums was sold out on the first day of release.
This shocked the entire music world!
It's as if I'm seeing a return to the era when albums and records were so popular.
No one thought that Jiang Siming's album could be so popular.
Many netizens and fans are complaining that they can't buy it and they are all out of stock.
All major bookstores and video stores are also calling to restock the product, but unfortunately the next batch will have to wait until next year.
For now they can only wait.
