China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 168 Returning to China and Global Sales
7 month 10 number.

Lu Yuan waved his sleeves and left Xiaobangzi.

In the end, Boss Lu resisted the temptation. Even if a certain member came to his door, Lu Yuan would not just give away hundreds of billions.

Although there was no cross-ocean cannon, Lu Yuan did not gain anything at all. After a week of promotion, the album sales ushered in a sharp increase.

Sales exceeded 9+ in a single week.

Counting the previous inventory, the total album sales reached 15+.

15+, which also put Lu Yuan at the top of the 2008 Xiaobangzi album sales list.

No.2 is Shinhwa's ninth album, with sales of 12+.

I have to say that the market for Xiaobangzi is too small, just like some of Xiaobangzi’s products, too small.

correct.

During this visit to South Korea, in addition to meeting Han Geng, Lu Yuan also met another Chinese fellow.

Trainee Song Qian.

Lu Yuan wasn't very familiar with this girl. He only knew that Song Qian made her debut in Xiaobangzi, but he didn't know exactly when she came.

However, this little fellow who he didn't know very well was his little crush.

To be precise, Song Qian and several of her teammates are fans of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan has always been a fan, and this little girl from Shandong is both a fellow countryman and a fan, so he mentioned it to Li Xiuman and paid some attention to her.

It is indeed not easy for a little girl to live in a foreign country.

Moreover, Xiao Bangzi knows everything about the entertainment industry.

The culture of accompanying wine is prevalent.

The level of hidden rules is even more naked than domestic entertainment.

of course.

Lu Yuan just mentioned that whether Li Xiuman could handle it or not was beyond his control.

In the next week, Lu Yuan was still very busy, traveling around Xincheng and Malaysia, and his album sales also increased.

According to statistics from Universal Music Group, shipments of the first English album in Asia have exceeded 225 million.

In mainland China, 80 tickets.

Xiangjiang, 20.

Wanwan, 20.

Small stick, 25 pieces.

In my small days, 50 photos.

Southeast Asia, 30.

In North America, the sales volume of Lu Yuan's first solo album also reached 220 million+.

Total sales in Asia + North America totaled 445 million.

With sales of nearly 450 million, Lu Yuan has basically locked into the top ten of the global album best-selling list in 2008.

Last year, the highest-selling album of the year was the "High School Musical 2" compilation album, which sold more than 600 million copies.

Ranking tenth is American singer Norah Jones, with total album sales of 380 million+.

Given the current record industry environment, the top ten goalkeepers this year will at most be the same as last year, but it is impossible to have more.

With 2009 months left until 5, Lu Yuan is fully qualified to top the global album best-selling list.

However, if the total sales are calculated, the sales in the mainland may not be included in the IFPI statistics, because there is currently no authoritative album statistics agency in the mainland.

As a result, without the sales data in the mainland market, Lu Yuan's possibility of winning the championship will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Shipments of close to 80 are not a small number.

After all, the golden age of the record industry was over.

The European and American music scene is now dominated by singles. Last year, Avril Lavigne's single "Girlfriend" topped the list of the world's best-selling singles with 730 million+ sales.

The MV for this song is also the first YouTube MV to have over [-] million views.

Compared with more expensive albums, buying only a few hit songs is obviously more cost-effective.

The continued best-selling of Lu Yuan's albums is naturally related to the excellent quality of the albums.

It’s the first hit model, you can’t buy it and you won’t suffer, you can’t buy it and you can’t be fooled.In the new issue of the Billboard singles chart, "wake", "this is it", and "please don't go" also climbed onto the list.

There are 14 songs in an album, and a total of 12 songs have been on the Hot [-] list, with only "New Divide" and "Oh Father" not on the list.

And it is still a hit single album that can be seen by the naked eye on the basis of no singles.

Therefore, in this week's album chart, Lu Yuan ranks sixth with 6+ sales.

6+, although not as good as the 10+ weekly sales in the first two months, but it is still a very impressive figure.

……

……

7 month 18 number.

Lu Yuan returned to Yanjing in a low-key manner. The airport pick-ups at Xiaori, Xiaobangzi, Xincheng, and Malaysia made him physically and mentally exhausted.

When the plane landed, Boss Lu did not return to the apartment over at Wanliu Academy, which was basically idle now.

Lu Yuan's real palace is still the small house he shares with his girlfriend.

"Are you reading the script?"

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Yuan saw Zeng Li sitting on the sofa holding a script.

"Ah." Zeng Li raised his head and smiled: "The movie will start filming next month. I will star opposite you, King Lu. How can I, a little actor like me, prepare myself well?"

"That's true."

Lu Yuan touched his chin and nodded in agreement.

"You said you're fat and you're out of breath?" Zeng Li rolled her eyes at him.

"asthma?"

Lu Yuan put down his suitcase, and a hungry tiger pounced on the food: "I'll let you breathe first."

(Omit...)
The next day.

Lu Yuan still got up on time for morning exercises. Don't get carried away, it was a serious morning exercise.

Even during the busiest period, Lu Yuan did not lose his basic skills.

After the morning exercise, seeing Zeng Li still sleeping, Lu Yuan left a note and rushed to the company.

He has an interview today, and China Film News is going to conduct an exclusive interview with him as a film and television practitioner.

In July, the most popular film in the domestic film market was "Red Cliff", which claimed to have invested nearly 7 million US dollars. (The actual investment should not be that much, 8000-4 million US dollars, it feels about the same)

On July 7, "Red Cliff: Part 10" was released. The box office on the first day was 2700 million, and it exceeded 4 million in [-] days, setting a new record for the fastest domestic film market to break [-] million.

In addition to Red Cliff, the Hollywood animated blockbuster "Kung Fu Panda" has been in theaters for three weeks, with box office exceeding [-] million.

"Kung Fu Panda" is also the first animated film in mainland China to have a box office of over [-] million.

Domestic filmmakers saw the potential of animated films for the first time.

The third biggest news after these two movies is the news that the new generation company Star Media has entered the big screen.

Although Star Media has never made a movie, last week, Star Media revealed two movie plans in succession.

One is a domestic science fiction light comedy with an investment of 4000 million RMB, and the other is a Sino-US co-production with an investment of more than 4000 million US dollars.

Well.

The external quotation was obviously adulterated. Boss Lu was considered a relatively honest person. For an investment of 3000 million U.S. dollars, he only asked for 4000 million, not 5-6000 million.

However, even if it is only US$4000 million, it is already a first-tier investment when looking at the domestic film market.

Converted into RMB, it’s an investment of nearly 3 million!

A big deal!

If the boss of Xingchen Media was not Lu Yuan, and he offered 4000 million US dollars to make a movie, others would definitely be laughing at it.

But if it were Lu Yuan, everything would be different.

According to information disclosed by Star Media, Star Media’s partner is Hollywood giant Universal Pictures.

Even if Universal's revenue is a bit poor, the brand is still very bluffing.

Even Han Sanye, the boss of China Film Group Corporation, took the initiative to call Lu Yuan to confirm the authenticity of the news.

After learning that the news was true, I conducted this exclusive interview with China Film News.
