HuaYu: The most muscular director in history!

Chapter 113 What is meant by "Korea's first generation of top idols"?

1 month 5 day.

Five days have passed since Xiang Nan's album was released.

Domestic sales have reached 93, which is terrifying!

But both Xiang Nan and Chen Yaochuan knew that this was due to high expectations, leading to explosive consumption.

Jay Chou released "November's Chopin" in November, and it has only sold 1.1 million copies so far.

It's impossible to catch up with two months' worth of sales in five days.

Chen Yaocuan and his professional team analyzed that Xiang Nan's album would likely have a final sales volume of 280 million.

This is already an extremely exaggerated number.

With the increasing sophistication of mobile music software and devices, the era of physical albums is coming to an end. Electronic music and digital albums have begun to emerge, achieving 280 million album sales, which can be described as the last hurrah of the end times.

"The last hurrah?"

In the Chinatown villa, Chen Yaochuan accepted the boiled water brought by Liu's mother and sighed softly, "It really is the decline of an era. You know, in the 1980s and 90s, an album could determine an artist's status."

After he finished speaking, he turned and glanced at Xiang Nan.

The latter was playing a childish game with Yifei: "Who closes their eyes first?"

"What about sales in Japan?"

He turned to look at Xiao Huang.

The latter tapped on the keyboard, bringing bad news: "The sales of 'King of the Ages' in Japan are 10..."

"Ten thousand, basically twenty thousand a day."

"This is bad, this is bad!" Chen Yaochuan held the hot water, his thick eyebrows furrowed into the shape of the character "川".

"Xiang Nan was able to sell two million copies in Japan at the beginning. I said this time the promotion was not good enough. Last time he had a roadshow and variety shows, but this time it was just a concert."

"Uh... Mr. Chen."

Chen Yaochuan looked at Xiao Huang, who scratched his head and shared his opinion: "The albums released in Japan at the end of the year didn't sell very well. I heard it's related to the recently released 'Operation Proposal'."

"Operation Proposal?"

Chen Yaochuan muttered something, then raised an eyebrow, as if he had remembered something.

If I remember correctly, the production team of "Operation Proposal" invited Xiang Nan to audition because his baseball player image in the "planet" music video was so iconic.

As a result, Xiang Nan refused, but Yui Aragaki was chosen as the female lead by chance in the music video.

I remember when they were filming at the beginning of the year, the male lead was criticized by a group of Xiang Nan's fans.

As for the song "Plant"? That was negotiated between the production team and Sony; Xiang Nan was only responsible for getting his share of the profits.

"This kid, a TV series can interfere with album sales in the music industry, you can imagine how popular he is, and he still refused?"

Chen Yaochuan glared at Xiang Nan, who had finished playing the staring game with Yi Fei and started playing the game of "writing words with the tip of his nose in the other's palm".

Chen Yaochuan: ————

"Go on!"

"Hmm—30 units sold in South Korea. Beautiful Card—"

"Wait!" Chen Yaochuan quickly raised his hand to stop him.

Why are sales so high in South Korea?

Xiao Huang adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and gave a reason that was both reasonable and surprising: "Their girl group idols are leading the way in buying albums, those girl groups—"

As she spoke, Xiao Huang glanced at Yi Fei and lowered her voice slightly: "They're all professing their love for Brother Nan!"

"Huh?" Chen Yaochuan's mouth dropped open.

He quickly gestured with his lips towards Xiao Huang, then moved his bottom to his side.

After some troubleshooting, Xiao Huang found the relevant news reports.

#LeeHyori: Please, please let me see Xiang Nan oppa live just once!#

#BoA: Checking in! I've already bought Xiang Nan oppa's super super rare collector's edition vinyl record! #

#Kim Tae-hee: Checking in! Hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with Xiang Nan oppa! #

"Wow—" Chen Yaochuan glanced at the two people on the sofa who had switched to another game and stopped talking.

"Is this really that exaggerated? It feels like Xiang Nan is about to become a top star in South Korea!"

Xiao Huang nodded, affirming in deep agreement, "It's not just about to become it, it already is!"

Xiao Huang is absolutely right. Although Chen Yaocuan produced a complete album for Xiang Nan, he doesn't really understand the situation abroad.

Xiang Nan's secondary vocational school included:

"Little Dimples" (duet with Yifei)

"Under the Flying Clouds" (duet with Yi Fei)

"lotus"

Mojito

"Lovers"

Aries

Sea of ​​Flowers

Wings of Steel (Female Version, Funny)

"sheep"

Finally Understand

Rain in June

Always Quiet

Chrysanthemum Terrace

"Father"

"A Sigh of Leisure"

The title track is "Lotus," and there are many other songs from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

There are also songs like "Father," a heart-wrenching song that Kyoto taxi driver Xiao Li likes, making it very comprehensive.

But the Korean EP only has two songs:

Trap

Good Boy

Two songs that swept through the Korean music scene—even novels wouldn't dare write something like that, but Xiang Nan did it!

COEX Shopping Center, Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea.

One of the largest shopping malls in Asia is incredibly popular today!

The square was packed with people, some of whom weren't even there to shop. They stood there, looking up at the large screen above the shopping mall.

It was a 70.7m x 15.5m curved LED screen.

The screen itself isn't attractive; what's attractive are the people dancing on it.

"oh----"

"Wow!"

"Is that... Xiang Nan oppa?"

Sony certainly can't compete with local players in South Korea, but it can still manage to project a game like GG onto this big screen, and it's not expensive.

It's a win-win situation after all.

Several female students dressed in JK uniforms ran up breathlessly, just missing the end of the video.

"Huh? No way? It's over?"

"Don't worry, it's playing on a loop."

That's true. The mall operators aren't stupid; they can tell who can attract customers just by looking at their sales figures.

The screen went black for a moment, then the image reappeared, initially showing a hand playing the piano.

"Ta-da, ta-da ...

As you play, it becomes a monotonous repetition.

The camera pans out, revealing Xiang Nan standing on the piano, beginning to sing.

He still had short hair, was shirtless, and had no clothes or tattoos—simple and straightforward!

【Oh~】(Like a cat in a cage)

[Irresistible barrier, like iron, there's no escaping it]

[子] (like being stuck in a lane and unable to move)

【yah】(Unable to move)

As the song played, Xiang Nan sat in front of the piano, and four dancers below the stage began to dance together.

"Aaaaaahh ...

"Oppa! Ahhh!"

A scream erupted from the crowd; even though their idol wasn't there, it couldn't dampen the female fans' enthusiasm.

"Oh, this person is Chinese, right?"

"Yes, your Korean is quite good?"

"Hmph, I think he's just here to make money."

"You're not allowed to talk about my oppa like that!!!"

If "Trap" is clean and simple, conquering female fans with its singing and creativity, then "Good Boy" is all about being cool!

Energetic electronic music, cool outfits, dazzling neon lights, and rotating camera lenses.

On the big screen, Xiang Nan, dressed in a red baseball jersey and cap, red leather pants, and a printed T-shirt underneath, danced wildly to the music.

When the song reached its midpoint, the camera focused on Xiang Nan's feet. He was rapping to the camera, and after finishing, he suddenly stood up and kicked the camera!

"Aaaaaahh ...

"Ah, I'm dying!!!"

"So handsome! Xiang Nan oppa is so handsome!"

The two songs completely captivated South Korea.

Before the Korean wave even invaded, Xiang Nan went against the grain and became the first true top Korean star!
