China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

The next day.

All major European and American media have updated the news about the last stop of the [Traveler Tour] on their front pages.

"The End - Traveler Tour"

"The legend is about to retire, a regrettable decision"

"The ultra-long concert was delayed for nearly three hours, with 80,000 spectators in the audience, and not one person left the venue! 》

"The Royal Family of England appeared at Wembley Stadium, and celebrities gathered together"

"The Tears of the King, Lu Yuan waves goodbye to his fans"

"In two years, more than 500 million people have been mobilized, and the Travelers tour is destined to go down in history."

"Lucas, when is the farewell tour coming?" 》

……

At this time, Lu Yuan was already an 'old man' who was about to retire from the music scene. Even the most harsh media did not go too far.

After all, Lu Yuan's era is about to pass.

Some people also save the effort to attack Lu Yuan. It is unnecessary. The main area of ​​Lu Yuan's activities is not in Europe and the United States.

If he was still active in Europe and the United States, those people might not be able to sit still.

After the concert, Lu Yuan rested in the hotel for a day and took a private plane back to China the next day.

so tired.

The two-year tour is finally over.

Although I was very happy singing, I was really tired, especially my voice. The songs he copied were all difficult to sing.

Some even have high female voices.

As we all know, female voices are naturally higher than male voices. Even if Lu Yuan lowered the pitch, it was still quite difficult.

As for why not go lower?

That won't work.

Some songs have to be high-pitched, but instead of bursting out, they lose their sense of rhythm.

After returning to China, Lu Yuan went home first, and then rushed to the company to listen to the new album for the last time.

Yes.

The new album has been completed, and between tours, Lu Yuan has completed the album production.

Two albums.

One Chinese and One English, all are cover works. If you cover yourself, of course it is also a cover. If it is just like this, you will inevitably be scolded by the fans.

But both albums and 30 songs were filled with lyrics written by fans.

The altitude was instantly different.

This is not so much an album release as a large-scale 'fan-favoring' event.

The meaning is special.

There has never been anything like it in the history of recording.

Many media spoke highly of this event, especially after the lyrics of the thirty songs were released.

Although fifteen of them are works by 'regulars', the remaining fifteen are composed by music lovers, not practitioners.

Cross-border people.

Those words are really well filled in.

At least Lu Yuan was satisfied, very satisfied.

With the support of fans, the king's golden body can finally be maintained.

If he had chosen songs again and chosen twenty songs, he would probably have gained the reputation of a talent that has been exhausted.

That would not be beautiful.

After listening to it for the last time, Lu Yuan nodded and confirmed the release.

The album is released as scheduled!
It was released on May 5, Lu Yuan’s birthday.

That day happened to be his 30th birthday.

In ancient times, people stood up at thirty, but today King Lu Tianwang bids farewell to the music scene at the age of thirty.

Very appropriate.

……

……

5 month 28 number.

Star Media Headquarters.

Lu Yuan, together with the global president of Universal Music, the president of Greater China, the president of Starlight Records, Max Hall and others, pressed the button symbolizing the launch of the album.

At the same time, several sets of data were displayed in real time on the large screen at the rear.

QQ music real-time sales.

iTunes real-time sales.

Google real-time sales

……

To be precise, they are all digital album sales.

The moment the button was pressed, several sets of numbers began to surge simultaneously.

one thousand!
Ten thousand!
One hundred thousand!

Half a million!
one million! In just one minute, the album sold a million copies.

Times have indeed changed.

In the digital music era, the logic of album sales has long changed.

You can buy an album at the touch of a finger.

There is no need to go offline to buy.

however.

Things seem a little different today.

Zhang Chao took advantage of his lunch break to run to the record store he frequented. When he arrived at the scene, he was stunned for a moment.

You actually have to queue up?
What a joke.

This is 2016, not 2006, nor 1996!
Then, Zhang Chao stepped forward and asked.

have to.

They were all people who came to buy Lu Yuan’s album.

This group of people includes young people who are already working, college students, high school students and other students, as well as some middle-aged people over forty years old.

Looking at the long queue, Zhang Chao lowered his head and glanced at the time.

After thinking about it, he continued to line up.

You've come here, if you don't buy two albums and go back, it won't be in vain.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer record stores. There are only two serious record stores in the city where he lives.

One is here and the other is in the city.

In comparison, Zhang Chao prefers this one because it has a large area, a wide range of goods, and good decoration.

The owner didn't expect to make any money from the record store.

Mainly a hobby.

It doesn't matter whether you make money or not.

Usually the boss is away, and the hired clerks look after the store. If the boss is free, he occasionally does the cashier himself.

The main character is elusive.

After queuing for nearly an hour, it was finally Zhang Chao's turn, but what was waiting for him was an empty shelf.

"Sorry, the album is sold out."

The cashier girl apologized: "I have called someone to deliver it before, but it will take a little time."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

Zhang Chao looked at the time again, and it was almost time to go to work.

"Maybe an hour?"

The cashier wasn't sure. They said it would be delivered at noon, but they didn't say the specific time.

Zhang Chao nodded, then took out his phone and opened the Ali APP.

If there is no stock in the store, then I will buy online.

result……

The flagship store is also out of stock.

Then there is JD.com.

no stock.

Dangdang.

In stock!

Place your order now!

After placing the order, Zhang Chao walked out of the record store. He really couldn't afford to wait for an hour.

Let's wait for the courier to arrive home.

The reason why he was so persistent in buying the record as soon as possible was because there was a song in this album that he wrote the lyrics for.

Unfortunately, I couldn't buy the physical album right away.

A similar situation happened not only to Zhang Chao, but also the inventory of online stores such as Ali, JD.com, and Dangdang were all sold out.

Offline stores also frequently receive orders for orders.

The first batch of 150 million records ( million copies per album) were all sold out.

One word.

Out of stock!

America has more inventory. Although it is not out of stock, the single-day sales volume is also very amazing.

English album: Single-day sales of 240 million+
Chinese album: single-day sales of 50+
Brackets, pure physical album sales.

If digital album sales are included, the English album sold 342 million copies on the first day.

Lu Yuan broke Adele's first-week sales record of 338 million copies in just one day.

As of the early morning of the next day, the statistics were released.

The global first-day physical + digital sales of the two albums exceeded 1700 million copies.

Once the news was announced, the world was shocked.

There has never been one before, and there will probably be no one in the future. (End of chapter)
