China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 162 Tokyo is Hot
6 month 26 number.

Lu Yuan and his team arrived at Tokyo Haneda Airport. As soon as he got off the plane, he felt the enthusiasm of Little Life fans.

The moment I walked out of the station, the first thing I saw was hundreds of fans wearing uniforms, holding high support signs, some of which were in Japanese and Chinese.

The moment he appeared, screams broke out one after another.

"Ah! Ah!"

"Lu Yuan!"

"Sikidesi!"

"Sikidesi!"

"I love you!"

Seeing this group of young and beautiful fans, Lu Yuan waved to them with a smile.

It's very hot in Tokyo today.

Just now, he learned something from Yin Jie, the head of marketing for the Asia-Pacific region of Universal Music, that many fans came from outside Tokyo for this fan support event.

Although Lu Yuanren has never been to Xiaoli, he had a fan support club in Xiaoli.

The kind that requires serious payment of membership fees.

of course.

While paying money, the cheering club also has special benefits, such as lottery draws.

The lottery includes a wide range of items, such as autographed CDs, posters, photos, support shirts, early purchase of collector's edition albums, meet and greet tickets, etc.

Anything that can be smoked can be smoked.

However, boss Lu severely stopped the use of handshake coupons and solitude coupons.

He is not an idol.

Although his handsome face has indeed attracted a lot of female fans, just look at the crowd picking him up at the airport today and you will know that most of the fans present today are female fans.

And they are girls around 20 years old. There are also male fans, but the number is very small, not even [-]%.

"Brother Jie, please communicate with the Japanese branch later. When the collector's edition album is released, each of the fans present today will receive a set."

"OK!"

Yin Jie has no objection. Although a set of collector's edition albums sells for as high as 7999 yen, giving away more than 300 sets is nearly 300 million yen.

But this small amount of money is just a small thing to Lu Yuan himself.

Besides, the selling price is the selling price, not the cost price, which is another matter.

For 10,000+ yen, you can accomplish something worth millions of yen, which is a great deal. Moreover, you can buy a few announcements from Universal and get a fan-favorite character.

Over and over again, 10,000+ yen has exerted an effect of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yen.

After instructing him to deliver the album, Lu Yuan smiled and communicated with the fans present.

Of course, it's in Japanese.

Japanese is a relatively easy foreign language to learn. After all, Japanese evolved from Chinese. Although the 50 sounds are more complicated and confusing.

In fact, as long as you use the initial consonants and finals of Pinyin, and combine the two, it is not difficult at all to read Japanese.

As a man who once aspired to become a diplomat, although Lu Yuan only minored in Japanese, he could still handle simple daily communication.

The fans at the scene suddenly burst into screams when they heard Lu Yuan greeting them in Japanese and speaking fluently.

Some of the younger girls were already flushed with excitement.

If a foreign star can speak their native language, no matter what, it is a bonus. However, Lu Yuan's Japanese proficiency is relatively standard in terms of listening experience, and it is not the kind of surprise training.Especially when they heard the words 'Japanese is for you to learn', the fans at the scene almost went berserk.

If the security personnel hadn't come to the rescue in time, Lu Tianwang would have been knocked down by the fanatical Sakura Girl on the spot.

After spending more than half an hour, Lu Yuan finally walked out of the airport and finally got into the nanny car, only to be blocked by enthusiastic fans.

Those fans shouted excitedly, and some even shed tears.

Seeing this scene, Boss Lu felt a little bit guilty in his heart. The phrase "Japanese is for you to learn" was purely a persona.

This is not his main claim area in Xiaoli, so setting up a shallow personality will be more conducive to consolidating the fan base.

As for whether there would be a landslide or something like that, Lu Yuan wasn't too worried.

There are very few opportunities for him to come to Xiaoli, and he will not be exposed to the spotlight of Xiaoli media all day long. The chance of collapse is very small.

Ten minutes later, under the organization of the president of the support club, the fans' mood eased a little. Under the reluctant eyes of the fans, Lu Yuan left Haneda Airport smoothly.

Not long after, Lu Yuan and his party arrived at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Tokyo Midtown.

As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, several men in black suits walked towards them. The one walking at the front was a middle-aged man of medium build wearing black-rimmed glasses.

The leading man was Kazuhiko Koike, CEO and COO of Universal Music’s Little Life Division. When he came closer, he led several subordinates to perform a standard Japanese bow.

"Lu Sang, welcome to my little life."

"President Koike, I'm sorry to trouble you in the next few days."

Although Lu Yuan didn't like the small life, it was not a problem to make money, not to tremble, and to maintain a relationship to show closeness.

"Lu Sang, you're welcome. This is what we should do."

Universal is the largest foreign-owned record company in Xiaoli. After acquiring PolyGram in the 90s, Universal's market share in Xiaoli once reached the top three.

Unfortunately, in recent years, Universal's development in the small-life market has not been smooth.

This year, GREEEEN, the most popular boy band under the Universal Little Life Division, only ranked No. 10 in the mid-year single sales list.

The biggest female singer Akina Nakamori has also reduced her activities recently.

On the other hand, the three major record companies, Ai Hui, Sony, and EMI, have as many divas as clouds and kings as rain, and their development momentum is very strong.

Ai Hui Records, which has three major singers including Namie Amuro, Mirai Koda and Ayumi Hamasaki, is already comparable to Sony in terms of youth market share.

There are also many first-line singers under EMI, including Takamitsu Uda, rock group Glay, Chishi Group, new singer-songwriter JYONGRI, and rock band Rad Wimps (the band that sang the theme song "My Name").

And Sony?
Not to mention, as the largest record company in Xiaoli, it has a lot of big-name artists under its umbrella.

Tamaki Koji, who has supported a bunch of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, is an artist under Sony.

Although Momoe Yamaguchi and Seiko Matsuda have terminated their contracts with Sony, most of their peak years were with Sony.

In addition to the older generation of singers, among the new generation of singers, Sony has both idol groups like AKB48 and powerful newcomers like YUI and Kousuke Naka.

In short, Universal Music is being suppressed by local record companies.

This time, the shock caused by Lu Yuan in the small life music scene also gave Koike Kazuhiko hope.

Foreign monks like to chant sutras, and this was exactly the same in my childhood.

Especially a fierce monk like Lu Yuan.

Same skin color, same region (Asia), young, handsome, both good at singing and composing, sweeping America's singles and album charts.

With so many BUFFs stacked together, if Lu Yuan officially debuted in his childhood, Koike Kazuhiko would not dare to imagine the scene.

It is probably not difficult to achieve sales of over one million in the first instance.
