Chapter 16 Return

On May 20, Choi Junxiu's highly anticipated album "True Love in the World", which made countless fans wait for a month, was finally officially launched on sale. JS Entertainment also launched this long-prepared album in major cities in South Korea, and released online audio sources at the same time.

Fans who had already received the news the day before flocked to record and video stores in various cities early in the morning, and were crowded with people in front of each sales point. Fans hoped to listen to this CD, which has now been named "the most classic lyric album in ten years."

“This is an album worth collecting!”

This is the consensus of many musicians, fans, and fans. This is a classic that is worth appreciating and leisurely savoring. Whether it is the melody or lyrics, under Choi Junxi's pure voice, the gentleness in the bass, the melodiousness in the midrange, and the touching in the high notes, whether it is motivation, soothing, sadness, and touching, he can control every style with ease, and interpret every song so touchingly and deeply.

With the unique and exquisite MV, although the album's sound source was released on the same day, all fans hope to treasure this classic CD, because you deserve it~ (The implanted advertisement is here, ^_^ No one could guess last time, but I can't guess this time?)

There are crowds in front of all the sales stores, and some even make long-lasting human dragons. In Seoul, such scenes happen in front of many audio and video stores. Some fans come to queue up before dawn just to get this CD as soon as possible. It can be said that the unique promotion over the past month has not only earned a lot of reputation, but also a very successful commercial promotion.

At 8:30 am, countless owners and employees of audio and video stores, as soon as they opened the store door, they suddenly poured in countless fans.

"Give me a "True Love in the World" by Choi Junxi..."

"Boss, I want three "True Love in the World" by Choi Junxi..."

"...Where is Choi Junxi's CD of "True Love in the World"?..."

“...I want 2 pictures..."

"I want 10 pictures..." (Hey, will anyone really buy 10 CDs? Mingjian, don't fool me, okay?)

"Wait, wait..." The unified sales across the country were made by countless audio and video store owners and employees panic at the same time.

This happened in a similar scene in large, medium and small cities in South Korea. Its power is that after a week, the sales volume of the album "True Love" reached more than 104,000, which is even more terrifying than "Baby" in 2007. With the release of the "Love Chapter" to 200,000 pre-sale volume, a week later, Choi Junxiu's regular selection of "True Love" reached more than 305,000... Oh no, it should be expressed by "YD".

.'s sales volume (this number will also appear in Korean entertainment novels, reality... Do you believe it?) This is more terrifying than the annual song "baby" in 2007, which really shocked all musicians in the music industry. Damn, it is now 2008, an era of large-scale shrinking in the recording industry, not the golden age of the recording industry in the 1990s. Why did such numbers appear? The bosses of countless entertainment companies are not calm and roar at the "little brothers" below.

"Damn, what's going on!!"

As I said before, this is a truly classic album. Each of the 9 songs can be used as the main theme of other people's albums, but for Choi Junxi, it can only be used as a follow-up song. This is really a bit conservative for professional musicians. But for fans, this has become a real music enjoyment journey, with 9 classics, 9 touches, no water, only enjoyment (why do you feel like you are complaining about yourself...⊙﹏⊙b), so it makes sense to be able to sell well. I just didn't expect it to sell so exaggeratedly...

If "Baby" in 2007 was an external force, a strong counter-strike of mainstream European and American music, suppressing Korean k-pop music, then this time Choi Junxi's "True Love in the World" is completely in Asian music style, or very traditional lyrical music. "Baby" can still be said to be dissatisfied, but now these 9 classic works with Asian styles can produce such results, which really makes all "professionals" have nothing to say.

Being strong doesn’t require a reason, and being a monster is even more charming.

"True Love in the World" This unprecedented lyrical classic, after Choi Junxi's "retirement" incident, uses perfect melody, perfect lyrics, perfect MV, and perfect publicity, and finally makes Choi Junxi return perfectly and starts its perfect journey.

"True Love in the World" breaks the platinum record sales standard in one day. If the pre-sale is included, it even meets the 310,000 platinum standard, this achievement has completely numbed the Korean song industry. Is this really something that people can do?

The highest record, "True Love in the World" sold 300,000 yuan in one week (including the pre-sale of 200,000 yuan), 440,000 yuan in three weeks, 500,000 yuan in six weeks, and 550,000 yuan in nine weeks. After 12 weeks, "True Love in the World" once again reached a 620,000 yuan in amazing sales, with an average sales of 51,000 yuan per week, which made all Korean singers, musicians, and entertainment company bosses completely lost their voices, and even the record industry, which was very excited at the beginning, was speechless in the end.

The rapid decline of the recording industry on a large scale is an inevitable process of social development. The development of online media and diversified publicity methods have brought a strong impact on the traditional recording industry. Since entering 2000, singers have released films and sales have become less and less. The sales of hundreds of thousands and millions in the late 1990s have long been a thing of the past. The global recording industry has been shrinking on a large scale, especially in South Korea. In 2004 and 2005, a singer could sell 100,000 yuan and sell a platinum record, which is worth a celebration banquet. 300,000 yuan is the treatment of top singers, and 600,000 yuan is something that even 600,000 yuan is something that I dare not even think about.

In 2007, bigbang used a photo of "Lie" to become the top group, and the sales data of 330,000 yuan was the strongest support for them to reach the top. Choi Junxiu even used a song "Baby" and 200 million YouTube clicks and 600,000 yuan to join all the singers of that year, becoming the most popular singer in 2007.

But Choi Junxi's success is very... by chance, he was stimulating the Korean mainland entirely with his European and American music status, which eventually led to Choi Junxi suppressing all Korean local singers in one fell swoop, but this did not convince the musicians.

Now, Choi Junxi is using a traditional music-style album to once again surpass all k-pop singers to do something that no lyric singers have been able to do in the past decade. Only those who were only a few lyric kings such as Cao Chengmo and Lee Seung-chul in the 1990s have done, but now it has been completed by a 21-year-old junior. This is no longer acceptable!

On May 23, Choi Junxi finally officially announced his return and participated in KBS Music Bank with the main feature of a series of family romance episodes, "When I Sing This Song" and held the first stage of playing songs.

That night, the "hope" who entered the audience accounted for 3/4 of the audience. The overwhelming white rogue rabbit towel, black hooded T-shirt, and a cute fox on the top of the red support stick flashed with red light. Three official support items in Choi Junxi were all in sight, as if they were about to turn the recording hall of the Music Bank into Choi Junxi's solo concert.

Today is Choi Junxi's return stage. In order to win a good start, Choi Junxi did not choose to make a comeback in the closest MBC Music Center, but chose to make him win an unprecedented ten consecutive championships in Music Bank to announce his return. In order to prepare for this stage, Choi Junxi came to the recording site of Music Bank early, and as the "boss" of JS Entertainment, Yoo Jae-suk took some time out of his busy schedule and accompanied Choi Junxi to visit the PD of Music Bank.

"Well? Brother, why are you?" Choi Junxi and Yoo Jae-suk pushed open the control room and saw someone who was beyond his expectations.

"Haha...it's your boy." The man looked up and saw Choi Junxi, and laughed.

"You know each other?" Liu Zaishi was surprised.

"Haha... In Sheng Ge, when did you become a PD of the Music Bank?" Cui Junxiu bowed happily, but was pulled up by the man with a smile, "Okay, don't be so polite. You won't be polite after two days and one night."

It turned out that the man was responsible for the PD for two days and one night. An Zaisheng (book friend angrykk appeared again). Since 2008, "Two Days and One Night" has exploded with crazy momentum, repeatedly breaking through 30% of the ratings, and has been honored as a national variety show. In contrast, the major leaders of the program team have also risen in KBS. After several twists and turns, An Zaisheng finally got an opportunity for him. He jumped out of two days and one night and became the total PD of the Music Bank, which is a big step forward.

"Haha...^_^, wasn't that forced? You also know how tricked the production team in the two-day period..." Choi Junxiu touched his nose embarrassedly.

"Ah, I forgot. I came out in the Holy PD for two days. No wonder you met me." Yoo Jae-suk realized that he was relieved to see that the two had a good relationship.

"Haha...^_^, don't forget, I was a person for two days and one night. Are you not afraid that I would tell Luo Yingshi these words to PD?" An Jae-sung quipped with a smile. He used to be Choi Junxi's PD. Both of them were a bit black-bellied and liked to slap people, so although they had been together for 3 months, their relationship was pretty good.

"Don't let it go, brother, I'm saying the wrong thing..." Choi Junxiu's "begging for mercy".

"Today is Junxi's return to the stage, right?" An Jae-sung looked at Yoo Jae-suk and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Jae-suk, I will pay special attention."

"Then please PD..." Liu Zaishi thanked quickly, "Thank you~"
Chapter completed!
