Chapter 107: First Day Sales

  This time, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was not directed by Yan Wenchong, who has rich experience and excellent directing skills, but was handed over to Jiang You to film. I'm afraid the delay will not be limited to two months. Fortunately, I can compare it with the scenes in my mind, otherwise Lu Li would not have given "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" to Jiang You to film like this.

  During the filming of "Yi Tian", it was natural that newly signed artists couldn't be left idle, so Lu Li planned to help singers like Wen Si Xuan and Zhang Feng Ruo write good songs and record them during this period. As for the signed actors, they naturally had to go to the "Yi Tian" crew to run errands.

  Thinking of Wen Si Xian, Zhang Feng Ruo and others' characteristics in my mind, I constantly select suitable songs from my brain sea and then copy them onto paper.

  By evening, Lu Li had written several songs and returned home for dinner. After finishing his meal, he watched "The Legend of the Condor Hero" on time.

  The next day, Lu Li's new album "I" officially went on sale at major music stores across China, and the store staff had already completed the update of the shelves overnight, removing some records from the shelves and putting up new ones, waiting for sales.

  The next day, Lu Li also made a slight adjustment and came to a very large audio-visual store of the Huajing family to see how the sales situation was. However, when he arrived here, Lu Li searched for half a day but couldn't find his own record, so he called over a service staff and asked: "Hello, where is Lu Li's new album 'Me' placed?"

  The waiter thought for a moment before answering: "Oh, in the very back left starting from the bottom row."

  Lu Li finally found her new album in a secluded corner of the audio store, following the direction pointed by the waiter.

  Looking at the album placed on the bottom of the CD rack, Lu Li's face turned ugly. Placing it in such a location, who could see it? It was still early and there were no customers around. Lu Li walked out of the audio-visual store with a gloomy face, heading towards Bie Entertainment Company.

  Lian Huaqing is also in such a situation, I'm afraid it's the same with audio-visual stores in other areas. Lu Li thought gloomily as he walked along the road.

  Until he arrived at Bie Li Entertainment, Lu Li's face was still gloomy.

  Lu Qiang saw Lu Li come in and his face looked very bad. He didn't know what had happened, so he went forward and asked: "What's wrong? Your face looks terrible!"

  Meng Qi heard the sound and looked over, finding Lu Li's face didn't look good, feeling a bit worried. But remembering yesterday's events, she felt some anger in her heart again, stopping her feet that wanted to come over.

  Lu Li heard Lu Qiang's voice and said unpleasantly: "This morning I went to a music store, and found that the CD 'Me' was placed in the most remote corner of the entire music store. I looked for it myself for a long time but couldn't find it."

  Lu Qiang detected the unhappiness in Lu Li's words and guessed that he was blaming himself for not handling this matter well. But Lu Qiang also had grievances that he couldn't express, after all, Bei Li Entertainment was currently at a disadvantageous position.

  At this moment, Lu Qiang didn't refute anything when he heard Lu Li's words, and could only advise: "You have many fans, I believe they will go buy your album. Maybe the record store will see good sales and change their minds, who knows."

  Lu Di's face improved slightly after hearing the words. He also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Lu Qiang, it was just that he felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.

  Lu Li waved his hand and walked back to his own desk, continuing to write songs.

  Just then, Takagi walked in from outside, holding two CD cases. Lü Lì thought he had bought two copies of "Me", but it turned out to be different ones.

  Takaaki walked directly to Lü Li and said with a smile: "Old Fourth, what a coincidence!"

  Lu Li heard the words and felt a bit puzzled, what's going on? He looked at the photo on another CD case in Gao Mu's hand, which seemed familiar but couldn't be remembered. He asked: "What's going on? Can you please not speak in riddles?"

  "What? Don't you know?" Takagi asked in puzzlement upon hearing Rikuri's words.

  "What do I know?" Lu Li said irritably.

  "Hey, do you still remember Yi Xuefeng? We were university classmates. I didn't expect that her album and yours would go on sale on the same day today. When I saw it, I bought a copy too." Gaomu said with a smile.

  Lu Li suddenly remembered that there was indeed a classmate like this in college, and at the time of participating in the art examination of Huaxia Music Academy, he seemed to be standing in front of himself.

  At that time, Lu Li put his whole heart into online articles and learning a lot of knowledge, so for university classmates, except for a few people in the dormitory, he was not very familiar with his classmates in the class. After graduating from university, there was no contact at all. I didn't expect Yi Xuefeng to start releasing albums too.

  Lü Lì thought of something and took another white-covered album from Gāo Mù's hand.

  All that can be seen is an artistic photo of Yi Xuefeng on the album cover, wearing a white long dress, looking elegant and refined.

  "It wasn't until after he finished reading that he looked up: "I didn't expect that a university classmate from back then would also take this path, I don't know much about my university classmates, so I didn't know about this matter."

  Takahashi sighed and said, "Yes, but I think the company behind her is very powerful. Even if Yuki Shimofuri is a complete newcomer, there are many of her albums in the most eye-catching positions in the record store, and there are also many promotional posters. And your album..." Takahashi couldn't bear to continue speaking.

  Ludie naturally knew what Gao Mu's unfinished words were, but she just shook her head and returned the two albums to Gao Mu before sitting down to continue writing songs.

  July 24th, New Era Audio Store. Although today's weather is still very hot, there are still many music fans or enthusiasts in the store, looking for their favorite records.

  Although it is now the era of digital music, there are still some people who like to buy CDs and listen to songs. Perhaps, it is precisely because such a group of people exist that audio-visual products have not completely disappeared.

  "Hello, do you have Lu Deli's new album 'Me'?" A girl who had been wandering around the store for a long time seemed to not find what she was looking for and could only ask the salesperson.

  "Oh, yes." The waiters have a very good memory. After hearing the customer's inquiry, they can often quickly guide the customer to find the album they want.

  The girl quickly found the album "Me" and paid for it with glee, then left the store.

  After that girl left, it seemed to have opened up a path, and one after another came to ask about Lu Li's new album. The waiters all directed them one by one until another boy came to ask, and the waiter went back to that shelf again, only to find that it was already empty.

  After confirming several times, the waiter turned around and said to the customer standing behind him: "Sorry, you're too late. The album 'Me' is already sold out."

  "What? This album just went on sale today and it's already sold out at this hour?" The boy heard the reply with discontent.

  "Sorry, it's really sold out. Maybe you can come back tomorrow." The waiter apologized to the man's dissatisfaction.

  "I'm so disappointed, I came here so early and still couldn't buy Lu Li's album. You're New Era Audio-Video, a big store, but you can't even stock enough albums." The boy seemed to be in a bad mood because he didn't get the album, his voice was also louder than usual.

  The waiter wanted to comfort him again, but then he saw another young man who looked like a college student walking over, panting and asking: "Is there... is there... Lu Lai's album here too?"

  The boy who couldn't buy the album earlier, seeing how tired she was, softened his tone a bit: "Who says it's not? I came so early and it's already sold out. I don't know what the boss is thinking, maybe they should stock up more."

  After finishing the sentence, the boy who was extremely tired from running caught his breath and said: "Hey, you don't know, I've already run to several big audio-visual stores in Hua Jing, they're all sold out. I thought there would be some left here, but it turns out they're also sold out. Looks like we can only wait until tomorrow."

  "Really?" the boy asked in surprise.

  "Why would I cheat you? I just rushed over from another store."

  "Aw, what bad luck. Come back early tomorrow." The boy from before grumbled and unwillingly walked out.

  However, more and more people came to the audio store asking about Lu Li's album "Me", only to leave in disappointment. This also caught the attention of the new management personnel at the audio store, who reported it to the marketing director.

  The marketing director was shocked to hear the news, as they had been very pessimistic about Lu Li's new album from the start. They did not expect it to be sold out now, although a major reason is that they ordered too little stock.

  Hurry up and place your order!

  Merchants pursue profits. Since Lu Lide's new album is selling so well, what are they waiting for to place an order and restock?

  There are not just one or two music stores like Xin Shidai Music in China, many music stores have sold out of new albums on the first day they were put on sale. Even some music stores that ordered a large quantity of stock still didn't have enough to meet demand and had to rush to place additional orders after seeing how well the album was selling.

  Just before the end of work, Lu Qiang stared at the pouring orders and was stunned for a moment. He still remembers that when he negotiated with the people in charge of these audio-visual stores, their attitude was such that he had to speak humbly and offer many benefits, just to get them to agree to put Lu Li's new album on the shelves.

  But what about now? These people's orders are right on my desk, and the amount for each household is not small either. There are even several people who personally call to ask me to send the CD as soon as possible.

  Lu Qiang was indeed proud and relieved at this moment, but in the business world, one cannot afford to be impulsive. No one can afford to have a falling out with money. Lu Qiang immediately instructed the relevant departments of his company to handle these orders.

  It's okay for now that there are still many of the first 100,000 CDs left to meet these orders. But what about later? Lu Qiang suddenly thought.

  No way, we need to press another 1 million copies first!

  Lu Qiang thought of it and did it himself, personally calling the record manufacturing company that they had cooperated with last time to add an order for 100,000 more records.

  PS: Thank you for the reward from the grasshopper who eats grass shoes. Sorry for updating late today.
