Chapter 23 The scene of the signing ceremony

After returning home in the evening, Li Mei'er glared at Lee Sang-hyuk who entered the door angrily, and then walked into her room and closed the door vigorously. Seeing this, Lee Sang-hyuk was about to go up and explain why she was late, but the ringtone of the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

"Hey, Sister Soo-jin, hello." Lee Sang-hyuk looked at the caller ID and found that it was Kim Soo-jin who was far away in Seoul. Because he often went to S.M to record and shoot MAD some time ago, he naturally became familiar with each other after walking around, and Lee Sang-hyuk's name became much closer.

"Hey, Sang Hyuk, it's so hot!" Kim Soo-jin's voice seemed very excited on the other end of the phone. She paused and said, "The statistics I just received, do you know what the national sales data of your MAD album today is? It's a total of 200,000."

"Uh...200,000? That's a lot?" Although Lee Sang Hyuk was so excited when he heard Kim Soo-jin's tone, he didn't have much concept of this kind of data in his mind.

"Hey, not a lot, it's a lot." Kim Soo-jin couldn't help but feel speechless when she heard Lee Sang Hyuk's question. Then she thought that Lee Sang Hyuk might have no idea about this, and couldn't help but continue, "Do you know what the highest sales volume in our national album sales history record is? It's 1.82 million yuan in the third album of the National Group GOD. Your first MAD sold 200,000 yuan in a single day. It's already incredible as a newcomer."

"Oh, that's it." Lee Sang-hyuk touched his nose, and he was actually quite happy.

In fact, although he is very famous in the e-sports entertainment industry, he is a newcomer with no foundation in the song industry. The reason why the first lyrics and songs that were held by an e-sports contestant can achieve such good sales results is also closely related to the promotional methods of S.M.

S.M Company put the BGM in that song on the Internet a few days before the release of the MAD album. On the one hand, it was to warm up the album release, and on the other hand, it was also to test the public's response. Although this BGM created by Lee Sang Hyuk as an e-sports player was highly praised by the company's top song producer Kim Yoo-jung, S.M Company, as a leading company in the old Korean entertainment industry, naturally understood that the market is the most important truth.

Lee Sang Hyuk's song "Unravel" did not disappoint. In just one day, the song quickly spread through the online platform. Many people began to cycle singles on computers, mobile phones, Ipods and other devices like they were poisoned and brainwashed. On the next day, various cover versions began to appear on the Internet. Many young people with strong entertainment spirit recorded a version and uploaded it to the Internet to compete with others. This undoubtedly further promoted the popularity of the song.

S.M, who had originally had the intention of tentative response, naturally had a great increase in confidence when seeing this hot event. Therefore, it began to be released on the first day of the album's release in audio and video stores in major cities across the country. This also led to the newcomer Lee Sang-hyuk having such a hot sales on the first day of the release of the MAD album. Otherwise, even if fans were willing to buy it, the number of MAD albums on the first day was in short supply, which would be difficult to promote the peak sales of the first day.

"Sang Hyuk, I just received the news that the company decided to let you hold a signing party at Gwanghwamun Square in Shejidong, Jongno District, Seoul tomorrow for Christmas. How about it? Is it okay?" After a while, Kim Soo-jin suddenly said on the phone. She had handled several artists with no potential and was about to face the end of the contract. She suddenly came to operate. At this moment, she had a beautiful turnaround, but the excitement in her tone could no longer be concealed.

"Sales signing? Okay, I can go to school tomorrow for Christmas." Lee Sang Hyuk thought for a while and agreed.

.........

After hanging up the phone, Lee Sang-hyuk looked at Lee Mei'er's closed door, couldn't help but smile helplessly and turned around and approached the bedroom.

In the room across the door, Li Mei'er immediately secretly followed her body after entering the door, put her little ear on the door and eavesdropped on the movement outside the door. She was waiting for Lee Sang-hyuk to come and knock on the door, and suddenly she heard Lee Sang-hyuk's cell phone ringing outside the door. Her first reaction was to be sure that Zheng Xiu-jing had called again. However, after hearing the three words "Sister Xiu-jin", her little heart that was inexplicably lifted was put down again.

However, she kept sticking to the door and waited until Lee Sang-hyuk's phone call ended, but the knocking sound never sounded. She couldn't help but kicked a bear on the pedal in the room with some annoyance, and then raised it and knocked it hard twice. It was a gift from Lee Sang-hyuk when she was thirteen years old, but it seemed that she had already regarded it as Lee Sang-hyuk's substitute. Every time Lee Sang-hyuk knocked on her head, she would secretly take out the bear to vent her anger.

.....

After saying hello to his father the next day, Lee Sang Hyuk knocked on Lee Mi'er's door and said, "Brother is going to Seoul, are you going with me?"

Lee Sang Hyuk, who had been waiting for a while without a response, couldn't help but shrugged helplessly and was about to turn around and go out, but the door behind him suddenly opened. Lee Mei'er, who was well-dressed, stood at the door, looked at Lee Sang Hyuk with dissatisfaction with her mouth bulging and looking at Lee Sang Hyuk with dissatisfaction.

"Then let's go, our Miss Mei'er!" Lee Sang-hyuk couldn't help but smile and rubbed Lee Mei'er's head, making a gesture of invitation.

"Hmph." Li Meier raised her head and hummed, and broke away from the hand that Lee Sang-hyuk pressed on her head in dissatisfaction.

......

The two got into the car sent by S.M company to pick up people. After driving about three hours, they soon arrived near Shejidong, Seoul.

Because last night, S.M company announced the news that the signing party will be held in Gwanghwamen tomorrow, and Lee Sang Hyuk almost updated the news of the signing party in Fansclub of Daum portal. Many fans who got this news from various channels left messages online to express their support, and even some fans from other places said they would go to Seoul to support it tomorrow.

Therefore, from the morning, fans have been slowly gathering from all directions near Guanghuamen Square. By the time Lee Sang-hyuk arrives, a large number of fans have gathered on the scene. The MAD in the audio and video stores near Guanghuamen has gradually shown a trend of supply and demand. From time to time, employees of audio and video stores have moved out of the MAD box by box to the shelves outside for fans to buy.

"Is there any more? Hurry!" This is a shouting that appears in many audio and video stores. Because many people are preparing to help friends who cannot arrive at the scene to buy Lee Sang-hyuk for signature, there are often dozens of MADs on the front shelves, and the sales are already sold out when it is the fifth person's turn.

The staff of S.M Company, who was in charge of the sales signing meeting in Guanghuamen Square, were also a little stunned at the hot plot in the surrounding audio-visual stores. They did not expect that a newcomer's sales signing meeting could cause such a rush to buy.

A person in charge sent by S.M company at the scene was Zhao Yunhao, a young man in his early thirties. Today, he was wearing formal clothes and directed the security personnel to maintain order among the fans on the scene, while arranging staff to arrange the signing meeting scene. At this moment, his forehead was sweating slightly.

Zhao Yunhao loosened the tie under his neck slightly, picked up a bottle of functional drink from the table and took a sip and remembered something. He quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and called a phone number.

"Hey, Assistant Wang, has Lee Sang Hyuk arrived?" After answering the phone, Zhao Yunhao asked in a hurry.

"I'm here, I'm parking, he and his sister have gotten off."

"His sister? Oh, it's Li Mei'er, right?" Zhao Yunhao thought quickly in his mind and immediately reacted. As a person in charge of the scene, he still has a relatively comprehensive understanding of this information. "Well, let's take them over after parking the car. The fans on the scene have been waiting for a long time."

"OK."

.........

"Brother, this is..." Li Meier, who jumped out of the car, was startled by the noisy crowd in Guanghuamen Square.

"The signing party." Lee Sang-hyuk smiled and blinked at Lee Mei-er, "Didn't you tell you that you are going to get MAD?"

"But... there are so many people." Li Meier couldn't help but say in amazement when she saw the long queues at the entrance of the audio-visual store near Guanghuamen Square.

"Of course, my brother is very popular."

"Hmph, stinking beauty!"

....

"Ah, Sang Hyuk, you're finally here. The fans have been waiting for a long time." Zhao Yunhao immediately walked up and said enthusiastically after seeing Lee Sang Hyuk and Lee Mei'er who were slowly walking behind Assistant Wang.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time." After meeting, Lee Sang Hyuk bowed slightly apologetically, obviously the social etiquette of South Korea had penetrated into his mind.

"It's okay, it's just that there are more and more fans, and it's a bit difficult to maintain order." Seeing Lee Sang-hyuk so polite, there is no arrogance of a young man after becoming famous, Zhao Yun-ho said with a very satisfied smile. You should know that according to Lee Sang-hyuk's development momentum, if nothing unexpected happens, the road in the entertainment industry will definitely be straight ahead and smooth. At that time, I'm afraid that the person in charge of a company's signing meeting like him can contact you at will.

"This is my sister Lee Mei'er. As expected, like my brother, one is handsome and the other is beautiful." Seeing Lee Mei'er behind Lee Sang Hyuk, Zhao Yunhao immediately said with no hesitation.

"Hello, I'm Li Mei'er." After hearing Zhao Yunhao's words, Li Mei'er, who was not very used to this occasion, said in a somewhat restrained tone.

After all, she is just a fifteen-year-old junior high school student. Although she can usually see socializing on TV, she finds herself feeling indescribable nervousness when she is actually in the scene.

"How did he do it?" At this moment, she secretly looked at her brother Lee Sang-hyuk, who was only two years older than her. Her face, which was always smiling, and her expression of laughter, could not help but feel curious in her heart.
