my artist neighbor

Chapter 360 358. Little Surprise

Different from the powerful Chinese fans, most of the fans in the local market where Pei Zhuxuan and others like to wait for the album to be released before buying the album, so in terms of pre-sale, the enthusiasm of local fans cannot be particularly obvious. come out.

But not being able to express it doesn't mean that the local fans don't join in.

"37."

After midnight, Cheng Taiqian walked into the practice room, and then spit out such a number to the members in the room who were looking forward to it.

Then, he saw that the eyes of the five beauties in front of him were all wide-eyed.

"37? Just tonight?" Sun Shengwan doubted her ears, so she couldn't help asking.

"Yes, 37 million."

"My God."

Several people praised in unison, and then the joy rose rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, the late-night practice room was soon filled with excited celebrations.

Their Red velvet has been suppressed by Twice and BlackPink of the same period for many years.

The No.3 results of the three major girl groups have actually made Pei Zhuxuan feel very uncomfortable.

Obviously the company I work for is the most well-known brokerage company in the country, but their performance is not as good as JYP and YG. This is always a thorn in everyone's heart.

But now, the sales of nearly 40 on the first day also announced one thing.

That is their comeback this time, in terms of album sales, they have a chance to break one million.

(In reality, "Queendom" sold 13+ on the first day)

"Is there a lot of losers?"

"Nearly 30."

Cheng Taiqian replied slowly, this number stunned Pei Zhuxuan and others again.

In fact, the popular girl groups in recent years are inseparable from China Loser, but Red velvet, which is only popular in China, has always been at a disadvantage in this regard.

Strictly speaking, their group doesn't even have a serious foreign artist, Son Seung-wan barely counts, but this person has lived in Korea for a longer time.

Without foreign members, it loses such an advantage in foreign markets.

But this time, Pei Zhuxuan and others who had slapped their faces in Huaxia's face finally got the favor of Huaxia's fans.

"It would be great if we had the opportunity to go to Huaxia for activities."

"Well, I really want to thank the fans."

Several people spoke with regret, but Pei Zhuxuan was already ready to report the good news to Liu Xin'an with his mobile phone.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. There are still a lot of activities waiting for you tomorrow, so keep your spirits up. We must seize this opportunity and strive to improve our grades to a higher level!"

"Yes!" X5
"37! 37!!"

"Yes, yes, I know it's 37, why don't you go to rest?"

Looking at the excited woman on the phone screen, Liu Xin'an had a doting smile on his mouth, scolding her.

"How can you sleep, do you know what 37 means?"

sleep?Now Pei Zhuxuan, who was completely occupied by excitement, was still in the mood to sleep.

She hasn't been idle since she returned to the dormitory. First, she called her parents to report her good grades. After all, her parents were always worried about her. Get a good night's sleep.

After that, she replied to her friends' congratulatory messages one by one. This is no secret, and everyone in the circle will know it soon.

After replying to this group of people, Pei Zhuxuan finally took the time to make a video call with Liu Xin'an.

So the scene above happened.

"What does it mean?" Liu Xin'an really didn't understand, so he cooperated with Pei Zhuxuan and asked.

"Extremely outstanding results!"

Pei Zhuxuan, who was poor at words, used three "special" to emphasize her tone, but she couldn't boast too much, and their sales of one million came a little later than those two contemporaries.

But it’s never too late for a good meal!

"Congratulations, you guys."

"Hehehe, thanks to the enthusiasm of Huaxia's fans, it would be great if there is a chance to meet them in Huaxia in the future." After being excited, Pei Zhuxuan became a little lonely, she said with a sigh.

"Eh, didn't you draw a few fans today to hold an online fan meeting? By the way, you really opened a back door for Li Chenglu, and you're not afraid of fans complaining about you?"

"The online fan meeting can only meet ten fans at most. We want to go to Huaxia to hold a concert."

"Well, that doesn't seem very realistic."

"Hey~" Pei Zhuxuan also knew that this was not a very realistic thing, she sighed, and soon her expression brightened again.

In any case, this solid result was still a shot in the arm for their hesitation due to various problems.

"I'm going to wash up, see you tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's go."

At the end of the video call, Pei Zhuxuan's good mood also infected Liu Xin'an. He took out his mobile phone and found the screenshot of the news about Pei Zhuxuan's album sales on the first day of their comeback, and sent it to his family group .

Pei Zhuxuan's parents are worried about her return this time, and Liu Xin'an's family is actually the same.

Neither Pu Zhenshu nor Liu Zhengjiang took a break at this time.

Although the two elders don't know much about sales, the news is written professionally.

I don't understand the data, but anyone can understand the words of praise.

Soon, congratulatory words also began to emerge in the family group chat.

Pei Zhuxuan was also in the group, and Park Zhenshu's posts were all in Korean that she could understand, so she also made a fuss in the group chat and sent a shy emoji.

Afterwards, Liu Xin'an couldn't get in the conversation. He is not one of the protagonists in Red velvet's comeback, so he is just responsible for diving and peeking at the chat.

The late-night chat did not last long, and soon, under Pei Zhuxuan's persuasion, Pu Zhenshu chose to rest.

And Pei Zhuxuan also ran to wash up, preparing for the day's work.

---

"I ordered takeaway, do you want to eat?"

When Liu Xin'an walked into her home, Li Chenglu had already got up early and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Goryeo is a country with a large proportion of the entertainment industry, and TV programs even broadcast entertainment news early in the morning.

At this time, the most hotly discussed news is naturally the new album of Red velvet that returned last night.

"What did you order?"

"Xiaolongbao."

"eat."

Liu Xin'an was not polite either. After he replied, he yawned and walked into the bathroom.

Soon, Liu Xin'an came out refreshed after washing up, and while he was washing up, the steamed buns ordered by Li Chenglu had already been delivered.

He sat down on the sofa, reached out to pick up a steamed bun, dipped it in vinegar and put it in his mouth, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"It tastes good, which store did you buy it from?"

"Well, I'll send it to you, what time do we leave?"

After Li Chenglu put down her chopsticks and shared the store name with Liu Xin'an, she tilted her head and looked at Liu Xin'an.

There is a signing event today, as a die-hard fan, she naturally has to go there early, and by the way, she can add another one to Pei Zhuxuan and others.
No, it's two sales, because Liu Xin'an will also pass.

"The signing will start at two o'clock, let's go by one o'clock?"

"If it's past one o'clock, I'm afraid the queue will have to wait until the evening before it's our turn."

Last year, when Liu Xin'an and Pei Zhuxuan became in a relationship, she actually came here to participate in the signing event of other groups.

She still remembers the grand occasion of the huge crowd at that time, Pei Zhuxuan's grades were so good this time, if she really got stuck, she might have to wait for a long time before it was their turn.

It's hard to say if it will even be his turn.

"The past twelve o'clock?"

"Well, don't forget to tell Sister Irene's agent in advance, it will be embarrassing if we can't get us."

The signing event does not mean that you can get signed albums in the past. For first-line girl groups like Red velvet, there are only a lot of fans who come to the offline signing event every time.

If you want to sign autographs for all the fans who come to the scene, how many hands are not enough for them.

Therefore, SM usually notifies in advance the venue where the autograph session will be held, and then fans go to buy the album, and then draw lucky fans from the fans who bought the album on the spot to participate in the autograph session.

If you are lucky, one will win the bid.

But if you are unlucky, there may be a possibility that you will not be able to buy dozens of albums.

But Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu are more convenient, as long as Liu Xin'an tells Cheng Taiqian, they don't need to buy too many albums at all if they go through the back door.

But as a boyfriend, Liu Xinan must support his girlfriend.

Moreover, he plans to smoke these albums in the live broadcast room at that time, which can be regarded as another way to promote Pei Zhuxuan.

"I'll call Brother Taiqian after I get there, don't worry."

The time in the afternoon has been allocated to the signing event, so the live broadcast this afternoon can only be held in the evening.

As for the morning.
"I went to exercise."

"Bye-Bye!"

"You don't need to wear a mask or something to hide your identity? Are you a well-known figure here?"

Looking at Liu Xin'an, who is wearing a shirt with slacks, Li Chenglu thought for a moment, and then sent out a soul torture.

It's not that she's flattering this guy, Liu Xin'an is indeed a public figure here.

With his extraordinary appearance and humble personality, he also has a small audience of fans here.

Hmm. Of course, because of the binding with Red velvet, the vast majority of people who know him are also fans of Red velvet.

But this time, the place they are going to happens to be Red velvet's signing event.

In that place, without any cover-up, Liu Xin'an's chances of being recognized by fans are still very high.

It's just started to come back now, the less unnecessary scandals, the better.

"I'll just wear a mask."

Liu Xin'an took out a mask from his pocket, hung it on his face, and successfully put his outstanding appearance
Well, not much color loss actually.

With his figure and deep eyes, people who are familiar with him can still recognize him at a glance.

"At that time, let's not line up together. I don't want to be mistaken by others for having anything to do with you."

Li Chenglu grinned, she is organized here, she is different from a loner like Liu Xin'an!
Liu Xin'an spread his hands, which was exactly what he wanted.

The two got into the car, and soon drove to the scene of today's autograph event announced by SM.

At this time, many fans who came to participate in the event had already gathered in the mall.

"Oh, a lot of people."

While admiring, Liu Xin'an parked the car, and then got out of the car with Li Chenglu.

"Hurry up and call Sister Irene's agent."

"Don't worry, buy the album first."

"That's true."

The album has not yet been received, and it is unrealistic to blatantly go through the back door, so the two first went to an audio-visual store authorized by SM, and after standing in line for about 10 minutes, they finally came to the owner of the store.

"Give me eleven or twelve new Red velvet albums, please."

Liu Xinan smiled and reported his needs. Among them, ten albums were to be given to friends in the live broadcast room, the other two were for Liu Xinan himself to sign, and one For Li Chenglu.

After paying the money, Liu Xin'an took the album handed over by the store manager, politely said thank you, and walked out of the crowded video store.

"Huh, there are so many people." He turned his head and glanced at the already long queue, and said involuntarily.

And Li Chenglu appeared out of nowhere, took out one of the albums from the bag, and then told Liu Xin'an the number of the album in his hand: "No. 771, please remember to tell Sister Irene's manager about this number." Man, I'm going to find my friends first."

"Oh, bye-bye."

After Liu Xin'an waved off Li Chenglu, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Cheng Taiqian's number.

At present, Cheng Taiqian actually does not know the news that he is going to attend the signing.

So when Liu Xin'an told Cheng Taiqian the album numbers of himself and Li Chenglu, it was easy to get Cheng Taiqian's shocked reaction.

"Eh? Xin'an, did you come to the signing event?"

"Well, Joohyun didn't tell you?"

"Not at all, are you here now?"

"Yes, remember to report my two numbers when the lottery number is announced later, Brother Taiqian."

".What kind of signing party do you want to see them? Just come to the backstage directly."

Cheng Taiqian's answer left Liu Xin'an speechless.

"Brother, this is the fun, what you said is too boring."

"Okay, let me mark the number, you young people really know how to play."

"Haha, by the way bro, don't tell Zhuxuan my number, I want to surprise her."

"Understood, but don't be too conspicuous, you are still well-known among fans, and you can be easily recognized."

"Don't worry bro, I'm ready."

After talking to Cheng Taiqian in a few words, Liu Xin'an hung up the phone, and at the same time sent an "OK" emoji to Li Chenglu. After that, he randomly found a cool shop and ordered a cup. coffee, waiting patiently.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and finally, at 01:30 in the afternoon, five beautiful figures appeared in front of the signing event stage that had been prepared at the entrance of the video store.

The appearance of Pei Zhuxuan and others also made the long-awaited fans scream with excitement.

What Liu Xin'an finds a little interesting is that there are obviously many more female fans than male fans who came to the signing event.

Although I knew Pei Zhuxuan and the others that they had many female fans, Liu Xin'an still found it very novel to see this scene in a serious manner.

"The signing will officially begin. Next, we will announce the number of the album that won the lottery on the big screen. Lucky fans must pay close attention to the above message!"

A host that Liu Xin'an didn't know appeared on the stage. After briefly explaining the rules of this time, the lottery number began to appear on the big screen.

Liu Xin'an drank the coffee in the cup, got up and walked towards the team.

But just on the way from the coffee shop to the signing event queuing place, there was already a long queue in front of him.

Taking advantage of his height, Liu Xin'an saw Li Chenglu who was not far in front of him at a glance, but the other party didn't notice him, and he was chatting happily with a girl beside him at this moment.

Liu Xin'an didn't rush to talk to Li Chenglu, he had to pretend that he didn't know Li Chenglu here, so as not to cause trouble for himself when the time came.

The queuing time was obviously long, and Liu Xin'an looked around boredly, but soon, with his outstanding height and conspicuous figure, he got the attention of many people.

Liu Xin'an tried his best not to pay attention to these gazes, but after all, he underestimated how conspicuous he was.

There were many fans who were waiting in line for the signing, but at the same time, there were also many unlucky people who didn't win the lottery and could only watch others line up.

One of the girls was attracted by the conspicuous Liu Xin'an. After observing quietly for a while, her eyes gradually lit up.

finally.
"Could it be that you are Mr. Liu Xin'an?"

The petite girl looked at him with a cute face and asked aloud.

Liu Xin'an was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the girl who spoke.

After looking at each other, this little fan who likes "An Pei's Law" thoroughly confirmed her guess. Her red lips were slightly parted, and her eyes were full of excitement.

"You are really Mr. Liu Xin'an! Did you also come to Sister Irene's signing event?"

The excited female voice aroused the curiosity of many fans, but Liu Xin'an was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

And at the same time.
"Thank you for your support, study hard!"

Pei Zhuxuan smiled and returned the album in her hand to the excited girl in front of her. After saying this in a friendly tone, her eyes fell on the next fan who came forward.

"May I ask your name?"

She chatted with fans skillfully, but before she could hear the fans' answer, Jiang Seul Qi who was sitting next to her said curiously: "It's so lively over there, what happened?"

Pei Zhuxuan looked suspiciously in the direction Jiang Seulqi was looking at, and then saw a group of fans gathered together.

Although she didn't know the specific situation, Pei Zhuxuan somehow had a bad feeling.

She looked at the fans in front of her, and pointed to the distance curiously: "Maybe you know what happened over there?"

"Ah? I'm sorry, Sister Irene, I'm a Huaxia fan, so I can't understand Korean very well"

The girl in front of her spoke shyly in English, and Pei Zhuxuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she turned her attention away from a distance. If there was a commotion, the staff would stop it, so she didn't have to worry too much .

"Are you from China?"

She spoke Chinese and asked the fans in front of her with a smile on her face.
