At noon, I still had a meal in the cafeteria.

Originally about to leave, Du Xiang, the leader of the Press and Propaganda Department, found Chu Zhi to be a trifle.

"Can you write a promotional song for our public security?" Du Xiang said: "Basically every fire brigade can sing the song "The Lonely Brave". This song basically represents firefighting."

What Du Xiang meant was that she hoped that Chu Zhi would write another song, not the official team song, but a hymn of courage.

Chu Zhi agreed, but he couldn't think of a suitable song for the time being.

Speaking of firefighting, Chu Zhi will go to the fire brigade tomorrow to shoot a new safety promotional video, pay attention to fire prevention.

These things are purely public welfare, but Chu Zhi is more active. If people's awareness of firefighting increases, the firefighters will be safer. It is best for firefighters and police to "do nothing".

There are a lot of things to do in the capital, and the posters for the China, Japan, and South Korea Three Kingdoms Show should also be shot. I will be in the capital for two or three days, accompanied by Xiao Zhuzi and Lao Qian, because there is something wrong with "When I Close My Eyes", Wang Yuan went to Pengcheng to settle the matter.

"Why didn't you tell your sister when you came to the capital, tell me what hotel to stay in, come to my sister's house, your brother-in-law cooks good dishes, and cook a table for you."

Zhang Ning didn't know how to get the news of Chu Zhi's stay in the capital, so he called to "inquire about the crime".

Chu Zhi didn't say anything like being afraid of being disturbed, he explained.

"There are too many trips in the capital, so it is relatively busy, so I found a hotel nearby. If you come to the capital for fun, you must contact Sister Ning."

"So busy." Zhang Ning is also a star, so he naturally knows that being an artist is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat.

"If you have free time, you must tell my sister, she will prepare something delicious for you." Zhang Ning said: "Your brother-in-law especially wants to thank you in person."

The face-to-face thank you refers to the Otaru earthquake rescue.

"Sister, you're really offended when you say this, so thank you." Chu Zhi said, "I'll definitely come when I have time, and then don't think I ate too much."

The two hung up the phone without exchanging pleasantries for a while. Zhang Ning has been paying attention to this younger brother who he recognizes. When Chu Gang ganged up on Adidas, she was also the first batch to come out to support him.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ning still frowned, her husband Hong Hu couldn't help asking: "What is Ning Ning thinking, are you still worried about Xiao Chu?"

"Of course I'm worried. Adidas is the number one sports company in Germany, and it has a strong financial chain behind it. This time because Xiaojiu suffered a loss in Asia, it will definitely cause a stumbling block." Zhang Ning worried.

"No, no, no, Adidas is not only suffering a loss, but also hurting its vitality. The three countries with the most purchasing power in Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, basically don't pay the bill. His financial report for the second quarter of 2021 should be very good." Hong The tiger took pleasure in other people's misfortune.

"No matter how unconvinced Adidas is in its heart and wants to take revenge, it can't do it now, and all its thoughts are stuck on restoring the Asian market."

For capitalists, revenge comes after profit.

"Don't worry, Xiao Chu is currently in Asia. If he doesn't make mistakes, his influence is very safe." Hong Hu said.

This made Zhang Ning a little more relaxed.

By the time Chu Zhi finished his work in the capital, it was already the end of the month.

In the early morning of May 29, the sky in South Korea was very bright. It seemed that there would be light after dawn, but it was shrouded in smog and there was no light.

"What are these people doing at the door?"

At the record store in Itaewon, Seoul, clerk Zhang Haicheng walked to the store where he worked while eating a sandwich at 07:30 in the morning.

It was time for him to go to the morning shift today, so he got up early, but there were more than 30 people around the store.

Zhang Haicheng's face changed drastically. Even though their store is located in Yongsan District, Seoul Special City, which is known as a rich area, there are still incidents of theft from time to time.

Zhang Haicheng thought that the store had been burglarized, and this group of people came to watch, trying to squeeze to the front, but couldn't move...

"What's the crowd? Do you know the queue?"

"Although they are all apostles, don't you know how to line up?"

"Row back."

"Other things you let me give way, you can discuss it, but they are all queued up in Itaewon early in the morning, and we didn't discuss it."

They obviously didn't line up, and surrounded the store door in the shape of "凵", so why did they jump in line?

Besides, what is an apostle?

Zhang Haicheng said: "I am a clerk at the Itaewon Record Store, can you please let me go?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd gathered towards Zhang Haicheng and asked questions in a hurry.

"Shop clerk? Is the store opening soon?", "I want ten copies of "After the Dark Clouds Dissipate", "Line in line, you line up, store manager Ouba, I'm the first one, sell me five first", etc. .

From the disorganized words, Zhang Haicheng probably understood that these people were fans and came to buy the album.

"Our record store doesn't open until twelve o'clock, so you can go to your own business first and come back when the time comes." Zhang Haicheng said loudly, his voice was a little hoarse, and he managed to suppress the noisy voice.

Physical record stores in South Korea don’t open until twelve o’clock, which is earlier at eleven o’clock, so Zhang Haicheng didn’t expect that there would be queues around the door to buy records.

Because it was too early, there were still several hours before the door opened, even the GZ boy group did not exaggerate so much.

"Can you open the store earlier, we have so many people waiting." Someone among the apostles asked.

Zhang Haicheng said: "I don't decide when to open the store, I will report to the boss."

When he opened the door with the key, Zhang Haicheng could feel the fiery eyes behind him.

He was afraid of the crowd rushing in. He was alone and weak, and the key was that he had such a small salary, so he couldn't resist.

With a splash, Zhang Haicheng opened the outer shutter door first, and then the glass door. Zhang Haicheng held his breath and locked it.

The door was only a little open, and he immediately slipped sideways into the shop and locked the door from the inside.

Through the glass, I saw the green gaze of the apostle at the door...

He remembered the evaluation of "Chosun Ilbo"——

"Chu Zhi's fans are all extremely naive and immature, and they are cancerous in the Korean entertainment industry."

It's not clear whether it's poisonous or not, but it's really hardcore. Come in line five hours in advance.

"After the dark clouds have cleared?" Zhang Haicheng thought of the batch of albums that had just arrived last night, a total of three boxes, and he opened——

[Chu Zhi's Original Korean EP] The cover picture, directly used the look of the movie "When I Close My Eyes", with a line of small words on the back: JYP President Park Specially Recommended.

Zhang Haicheng's task of working overtime this morning is to put the new album on it. When the store closed yesterday, the space was cleared out, and then the posters on the wall were replaced.

There are a lot of things to do, and he is the only one. The rest of the shop assistants don't arrive until 11:30, so he wakes up early.

Chapter 311 Two-line Explosion

There are 540 EPs of "After the Dark Clouds Dissipate" in three boxes. To be honest, it's quite a lot.

But Zhang Haicheng opened the store at 01 o'clock, and at 30:[-], all the albums were sold out, which left him dumbfounded.

"No more? Is there a mistake? I haven't been in line for so long."

"Isn't Itaewon the biggest record store in Yongsan?"

"Hurry up and transfer the goods, Asi, why are you standing here in a daze, asking me to teach you how to do it? Hurry up and call to transfer the goods."

"I can not accept!"

"..."

Zhang Haicheng only said that it was sold out, and the dissatisfaction of the fans who lined up came like a storm, and he couldn't bear it at all.

"Actually, you can make reservations on JYP's official website..." Before Zhang Haicheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by more words, which contained anger.

"You think I don't know that the official website can be pre-ordered? The official website pre-orders start at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I want to get the album two or three hours in advance."

"You can speak eloquently, it's a good suggestion, so do you know that it takes two or three days to get the album on the official website?"

"Don't tell me you only prepared so few albums?!"

Never reason with fans, let alone with fans who didn't buy the album.

Zhang Haicheng is speechless, how many?Your own fans, once you buy ten or twenty copies, it is obvious that your own people do not leave a way for your own people to survive.

Zhang Haicheng did not dare to speak out about the above complaints, so he could only ask his colleagues to appease him first, and then call the boss.

"Huh? I remember this one—there is a poster." Zhang Haicheng remembered that the hallway was posted by him early in the morning, and now it is empty, with bare blue wall paint.

Zhang Haicheng felt something was wrong, and took two steps forward, and the poster in front of him was gone.

Some people steal posters, Zhang Haicheng is not surprised, some boy group posters will also be stolen, which is repeatedly prohibited.

But today—he walked all the way, and it was all gone, including the promotional posters that his colleagues pasted on both sides of the glass door, which was too thorough.

No way, Chu Zhi's fame in South Korea largely comes from her appearance...

The Itaewon record store in Yongsan-gu is not an exception. All record stores in Seoul are like this. South Korea is sold out!

The president of JYP Tickets learned from the experience of Sony Music in the island country, and the factory printed 20 copies for the first time. At that time, Sony Music printed [-] copies for the first time.

He is a smart man, but President Park also miscalculated one thing.

When Sony Music released the album, "When I Closed My Eyes", which swept across Asia, was not released.

20 copies were sold out that afternoon, not enough!

Forced a large number of fan apostles to go to the official website to make reservations.

"Why can't I get a special 2 card, Ah Xi, it must be that the record company has printed less." Kim Jae-hee has demolished [-] albums, but he is still one short of a special card.

Kim Jae-hee, a strange name, a year ago, Chu Zhi came to Seoul to steal a house, and he was the person sent by MBC to receive him.

Also because of Chu Zhi's skill, he was beaten up by the director, but as Chu became more and more successful, Kim Jae-hee became more and more hardcore.

Chu Zhi's success is more proof that the old hidden rules are bullshit, even if you don't follow them, you can still succeed.

"Buy ten more, the last ten." Jin Zaixi picked up the wallet and counted the few banknotes inside.

Kim Jae-hee's monthly salary is about 1.8 yuan, which is not high in terms of South Korean prices.

It is undoubtedly a luxury to buy forty albums with more than 4000.

South Korea's album production cost is slightly higher than that of island countries, because the photo cards and posters of his albums are much more beautiful.

There are seven photo cards in total, namely casual suits, sportswear, knitted sweaters, long bathrobes, formal suits, casual attire, and trench coats.

JYP has put a lot of thought into it. Each member of a boy group and a girl group has their own card, but solo singers have changed their looks, and it is rare to see a card like Chu Zhi's.

Among the seven special cards, the most difficult ones are long bathrobes and formal suits. The former is printed for ten and the latter is printed for five.

Jin Zaixi lacked the long bathrobe. As a loyal apostle, he wanted to find a cafe to show off his set of photo cards. He was about to go out, but when he saw the message that popped up on his phone——

"Chu Zhi's Korean album "After the Dark Clouds Dissipated" was highly sought after, causing looting, and two people were injured at the record store in Guro District." - Seoul Express

""After the Dark Clouds Dissipate" may become a new record, the famous musician Aizawa commented: Buying an album by paying too much attention to the singer's appearance is not a healthy situation." - jazz news

The two news notifications on the status bar caused looting and caused two people to be injured.

Kim Jae-hee felt that if he had to forget it, he might not be able to buy it when he went out.

"Usually we are brothers and sisters in the cafe, but when it comes time to buy an album, the six relatives don't recognize each other, the dog is too despicable." Kim Jae-hee muttered to himself.

Why can he grab thirty?Because there is an ex-girlfriend's sister working in the record store, it is even more despicable to leave the goods directly for him.

I still bought ten tickets on JYP's official website. As for Aizawa's evaluation, Kim Jae-hee looked at it.

Buy because of appearance, those female fans of other boy groups, which one is not because of appearance?

"Isn't it because Mr. Chu's appearance can beat all active male artists, so he is jealous." Kim Jae-hee chuckled.

The sales of physical records are exaggerated, and there are two other characteristics of the South Korean entertainment industry, ranking on the charts and website music sources.

Playing on the charts means being on the show and letting the audience vote, and the website music source is listening and downloading on major websites, all of which cost money.

Chu Zhi didn't have the time for the former to hit the charts, but for the latter, the music source JYP must be arranged, and it will go online automatically at five o'clock.

The sound source has good grades, and there is a quite secondary word called, perfect.all.kill (perfect kill), which is often called pak by Korean fans.

On all music source websites in South Korea, if you reach the first place, you will achieve a single pak.

Because the list of most music source websites is updated by the hour, the number of paks is calculated by the hour.

The popular song of Nine Colors Deer Girls Group once set a record pak 171 times, and a song dominated all music sources for more than a week. Anyone who has passed the postgraduate entrance examination should know that a week is 168 hours.

"Universe", "Let It Be Natural" and "Lights. Out", the three songs occupy the top three of Melon, and the title song "Universe" airborne the first place in all major music sources.

Go online at five o'clock, and complete the first pak at six o'clock.

The apostles really have people in their hearts. They not only buy records, but also make data for the sound source.

It is also a difference in appreciation of aesthetics. On the earth, "Let It Be Natural" has become a Douyin Divine Comedy. On the contrary, the title song "Universe" is not popular, and South Korea's title song is more popular.

The next day, it was time to announce the first-day sales.

South Korean physical records are really good.
