Chapter 162 What? The commercials are so loud that the album only has 60,000 copies?
January 18, 3 a.m.
While everyone was still sleeping in their dreams, Wei Lai stared at Weibo silently, watching the number of Lu Yuan's Weibo fans continue to increase...
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan’s Weibo followers increased to 800,000.
After looking at the number 800,000, Wei Lai finally closed his eyes.
If this continues, not only will the popularity be over, but this bastard will even surpass him in the final fan rankings.
This is a nightmare!
He could even foresee that in two or three days, he would become the second most popular person on Weibo, succumbing to Lu Yuan's body and trembling forever. Even if he didn't spend money, I'm afraid he would live under Lu Yuan's body for the rest of his life.
Below the shadow.
This is painful!
Yes it's painful!
Does he want this?
No hope!
He didn't plan to brush it off at first but found that he was starting to waver.
After five hours of silence, he finally took a breath, clicked on the Q dog on Weibo, and asked, "Are you there?"
Let God decide!
If there is no reply within five minutes, I will stop swiping!
"My dear, how many do you want to do this time?" Brush replied quickly and quite straightforwardly, even the pretentious greetings from before were gone.
This made Wei Lai very stiff.
"Three hundred thousand! Is it okay to have a fan base of 1.5 million?" Wei Lai gritted his teeth.
"Okay dear, do it right away!"
"..."
After Wei Lai turned off the Q-dog, he finally leaned back on his chair and sighed sadly.
He finally embarked on this never-ending road of no return.
But when he thought that he would be able to get away from Lu Yuan again tomorrow, he felt very happy!
It’s only fifteen days!
Effort and reward are absolutely proportional!
…………………………
No matter how much Wei Lai struggles, how happy he is, how much he struggles, Lu Yuan doesn't care.
Lu Yuan has completely used Weibo as an advertising platform.
He thinks this platform is very useful.
That's all.
Others?
Where is there anything else?
January 18th.
Wang Long got up at four o'clock. After getting up and helping Lu Yuan, Wang Jinxue and others make breakfast, he ran out of the company and rushed towards the major video stores around Hengdian.
He wanted to know how sales were going on the first day.
He desperately wants to know real-time data!
Even though Lu Yuan had already made waves with his advertisements on the Internet, and the quality of the album itself was not bad, he still felt very uneasy.
As the Internet becomes more and more developed, physical album sales have declined, and a decline is inevitable.
In a few years, this kind of physical album will definitely be harder to sell.
He thought about his first failed album.
At that time, the overall environment for physical albums was still good, and many singers' albums could sell tens of millions of copies. However, in that environment, he actually went out on the street.
What does this mean?
When he thought of this, the shadow of failure surrounded him, causing him to fall into panic.
He is afraid of losing money.
After all, this is no longer that era.
He was very afraid of sorry for Lu Yuan.
After all, it was Lu Yuan who gave him a second chance at rebirth. He really didn't want to live up to Lu Yuan's expectations, and if he lost money again this time, his career as a singer would probably come to an end or he would quit the music scene forever.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is often cruel.
At this moment, he was under great pressure, and even imagined what would happen if he failed again.
Maybe Mr. Lu has a good temper and won't say anything, but can he feel sorry for himself? Mr. Lu also wrote two songs for himself, and both of them are first-class songs. He must not sing them to waste.
!
If it fails, then, I, I will serve Mr. Lu as a cook for the rest of my life to repay my kindness!
With this mood in mind, Lu Yuan came to a video store called "Sonya".
Because Wang Long arrived very early, the video store did not open.
Wang Long sat silently on the stone chair next to the video store and looked at the video store.
There is a poster announcing the arrival of a new album hanging at the door of the video store. The most eye-catching features on the poster are naturally the faces of well-known singers such as An Xiao, Li Mingrui, and Xin Xiaoqi.
Wang Long has no avatar, he only has the two characters "Wang Long", and these two characters are placed at the very end in a very inconspicuous place.
Wang Long himself had to search a long way to find it.
Very poignant!
At least it can be seen from the poster how unpopular Wang Long's album is. It's no wonder that the first batch of other people's albums is hundreds of thousands, and Wang Long's album has a total of
There are only 60,000 pieces. The difference between hundreds of thousands and 60,000 is completely different. It can be said that there is no comparison at all.
Time passed little by little, and Wang Long endured this uneasy mood and waited for the sun to rise.
About half an hour later, Wang Long saw people coming on the street one after another. Several men and women wearing glasses who looked like students came to the door of the video store and stood there.
They were chatting. Although they didn't know what they were talking about, the expressions on everyone's faces were beaming and laughing.
Of course Wang Lung did not dare to approach them, he only dared to stay and watch from a distance.
He is nervous.
He was afraid that these students would recognize him as the singer "Wang Long" on the album. If they didn't recognize him, wouldn't it be more embarrassing if no one was sold all day long?
Wang Long still wants to save face.
After more than ten minutes, more people gathered around the video store. At first it was a group of students, but then a group of young people who were learning programming and dressed in fashionable clothes.
Of course, the only thing they had in common was that the crowd was constantly bursting into laughter. What was even more exaggerated was that several people were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop laughing.
What are they laughing at?
Wang Long subconsciously wanted to get closer but listen.
But when he put on his hat and stood up, the door of the video store opened.
As soon as the door opened, this group of people rushed into the video store.
Wang Long hesitated.
Didn't it mean that the album has begun to decline and sales are getting worse day by day? Why does it look so lively today?
Do An Xiao and the others have such strong appeal?
I wish I had been so strong.
Wang Long felt envious.
Of course, he can only be envious.
…………………………
"Boss, give me an album recommended by Ergouzi!"
"Boss, let's play a Lu Manzi album!"
"Boss, me too, give me two, my girlfriend and I are both fans of Ergouzi..."
"boss……"
The video store owner was also shocked by his popularity, but then he found that he could not understand what these young people were saying.
Album recommended by Ergouzi?
Lu Manzi?
Who is Er Gouzi and who is Lu Manzi?
The boss doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry and doesn't surf the Internet much, so he doesn't know about Lu Yuan.
"Who is Ergouzi? I don't have a singer like this here. Did you go to the wrong place?"
The boss looked around at everyone and frowned.
It's not like these people are here to cause trouble.
"Wrong way? How is that possible? Ergouzi said that Hengdian is basically available in all video stores of all sizes. Don't lie to us!"
"Really not!"
"Wait a minute, the second son of the boss is Lu Yuan. Have you heard of Lu Yuan?"
"Lu Yuan? I've heard of him. He's that famous star, right?"
"Yeah, where's the album he recommended? Give us one."
"This...oh, is it "Sailor"?"
"Yes, it's "Sailor"!"
"Oh, wait a minute. I put this album in the warehouse at the back. I'm going to get it right now... Do you all want that album?"
"Yes, Lu Manzi advertises so hard on Weibo. We will feel bad if we don't buy the album."
"How many do you want?"
"We counted them and found that there were about twenty."
"Okay, wait a moment."
The owner of the video store took out a stack of albums from the warehouse, then pulled out twenty copies of "Sailor" and handed them to these young people.
"Quick, our support is in place, let's quickly show off on Weibo!"
"Well, it seems we are not the first batch on Weibo..."
"Not the first batch?"
"Well, it seems that someone has already arrived."
"Okay, we are still slow!"
“Boss, can’t you open the business earlier?”
The boss laughed as he watched these young people leave one after another with regretful expressions.
Good luck.
So many were sold early this morning, which seems to be a good sign.
The boss was not happy for long, and then a group of young people came in.
"Well, are there any albums recommended by Boss Ergouzi?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Oh, give me some pictures then."
"How much?"
"Well, let's have less, just twenty."
"Twenty pieces..."
"yes!"
……………………
Wang Long squatted in the video store all morning.
He spent the whole morning watching silently from a distance.
The number of people buying the album exceeded his expectations.
The entire video store was very busy all morning, and it was not until noon that the flow of people became slightly less.
Wang Long looked at no one around him, then pushed his hat and walked towards the video store.
"Boss, may I ask you about the sales of the album "Sailor" here..."
"It's out of stock, I'm already contacting the factory."
"Ah, what?" Wang Long was stunned and couldn't believe his ears.
"I feel a little regretful now. I don't know what kind of nerve I had before, but I only purchased a hundred copies. I'm speechless. I really didn't expect this album to be so popular. Who is this Wang Long..."
"Boss, do you mean they're all sold out?"
"Nonsense, everyone has been asking about this album all morning. I only have this little inventory in stock. How can I still have it... If you want it, hurry up early tomorrow. We have other singers' albums. Why don't you buy other singers' albums?
Album?
"Uh, forget it, I have to leave beforehand." Wang Long was in a trance for a while.
His album is gone?
Then, Wang Long suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked towards another video store not far away.
Another video store was also crowded with people.
As he approached, he heard a commotion inside.
"Boss, what's going on? Why is it gone?"
"Can't you bring in more goods?"
"We all came to buy the album to support Lu Yuan. We are all fans of Lu Yuan. Now what do you want us to do to support him?"
"Go early tomorrow? Boss, what do you mean? It's rare for us to come in person. You asked us to come tomorrow, are you kidding..."
"..."
Is it sold out here too?
Wang Long's body trembled, and he walked even more excitedly to the video store a few kilometers away.
After arriving at the video store, he stopped.
That video store was even more exaggerated. There was a notice on the door saying "I want "Sailor" tomorrow."
Could it be that I...
Is it this time!
Is it really all sold out this time?
Hold the grass!
this!
Wang Long was so excited that he almost fainted.
……………………
"Er Gouzi is advertising again?"
"Er Gouzi, are you kidding us with all these crazy advertisements?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's true that you advertise, we don't object! But at least let us buy the album. We can't even buy the album, and your advertising is useless! Are you doing it just to tease us?"
"Yes, Lu Yuan, please give me an explanation. I went all the way to buy your company's album, but I was told that the album was sold out?"
"Sixty thousand albums? I laughed! Other people's albums come in the hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but you don't have even one hundred thousand. Are you kidding me?"
"Are you kidding us? How do we divide the 60,000 albums?"
"Sixty thousand albums, why do you have the nerve to advertise so frantically? I fucking thought it was 600,000!"
"Lu Yuan, come out!"
"Lu Yuan, come out and give me an explanation! What do you mean?"
"Yeah, come out!"
"Are you playing with us?"
January 18th.
It was originally a very peaceful afternoon. Lu Yuan took a nap and was about to click on Weibo to post an advertisement for the "Sailor" album as usual. However, as soon as it was posted, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Then, he saw a series of fan comments below...
All kinds of dissatisfied and negative emotions seem to be taking over all Weibo.
??
?
???
What happened?
Lu Yuan scratched his head and expressed confusion.
