Chapter 162 Pay the bill?
The reason why Li Yuhao created Chinese songs in the studio is because in his heart, Asia is more "free" and comfortable than the distant United States. That kind of freedom does not mean that you can go shopping without restraint, it should be a kind of homesickness. But what makes Li Yuhao the most headache is the pirated merchants in the Chinese market. Li Yuhao clearly knows how powerful the pirated versions there are.
Even if a singer has released a new album and published a new song, he can only sell copyright to music websites at most, and then download it for free. Yes, it is free. The only way for singers in the Chinese market to make money can run commercial performances, or attend commercial concerts, and hold concerts themselves. Especially in the 2000s, even if the movies were pirated, let alone songs. It was not until 2012 that everyone slowly accepted the movies and went to the cinema to watch them.
The movie market is good, but there are still very few people who buy genuine albums. Because of the advancement of science, everything has been replaced by digitalization. Who can still play records at home? They are all computers, and walking on the street is like mobile phones.
However, there is one thing that is different from the Korean market, that is, singers of the same level earn more than actors. Singers have more commercial performances, usually three songs, with a starting price of about 100 million won.
The songs collaborated by Lee Woo-ho, Song Qian and Kim Tae-hee have set off a gust of wind in China, especially when Han Hong bought the copyright of the song "Endless Love". After singing it herself, she was basically a household name. However, Lee Woo-ho's original singer is basically talked about by everyone. In addition, the song "Because of Love" is also deeply loved by young people in China.
LOEN also received an invitation to a Chinese commercial performance, but Li Yuhao was in the United States at that time. Li Yuhao's new English album this time also received very good results in the Chinese market. In addition, many TV entertainment programs reported that the "YuhaoLee" on the Billboard was Chinese, with Chinese blood. The Chinese naturally regarded Li Yuhao as his Chinese.
In addition, many celebrities are covering Li Yuhao's songs, which gradually helped Li Yuhao increase his popularity.
Loen also asked Li Yuhao if he was interested in publishing a Chinese album? Li Yuhao nodded without hesitation, but as for when he released Li Yuhao, he did not give a reply. The company also knew that Li Yuhao had a lot of things, as for the Chinese market... In Li Yuhao's meaning, the Chinese market is much larger than that of Japan/Bank. There is no need to lose the big head and pick up the small head. Li Yuhao's own meaning is that he doesn't want to go to the Japanese/Bank market.
Li Yuhao is his native Chinese. How could he give up his advantages and go to a country that does not understand language to learn language from scratch? Major economic companies in South Korea have put the Japanese/British gold dig market, but why don’t Li Yuhao use his Chinese advantages?
What's more, the Chinese market is much larger than that small place. Not to mention that the market has become an immature and pirated mainland market. Just the Taiwan Strait and HK alone are enough to digest it slowly. In Li Yuhao's eyes, the foundation of Asia is more important than the achievements he has achieved in Europe and the United States.

Li Yuhao 'created' songs in the studio one morning. Until noon, Li Yuhao received a call from Yuri, "Oh, Yuri, what's wrong?"
"OPPA, do you want to come and eat potato soup here at XXX store?"
"Potato soup? Okay, come here now. Order it for me first, I'll arrive in 10 minutes, I'm in the company."
"Okay, come here quickly, see you later."
Li Yuhao turned off the computer and headed towards the store that Yuri said, and came to the door of the store. Li Yuhao saw that there were many people watching Girls' Generation dinner with their mobile phones. Li Yuhao also smiled and shook his head and walked in.
As soon as Li Yuhao entered, he saw Yuri and the other four. Yuri smiled and waved to Li Yuhao, "OPPA, here, here."
Li Yuhao heard someone outside the store shouting, "It's Li Yuhao." Li Yuhao also smiled and showed a scissors hand to look outside at the crowd watching the meal for them to take photos.
After Li Yuhao arrived at the location where Girls' Generation was, Yuri laughed, "OPPA is coming so fast."
Xu Xian said seriously at this time, "Li Yuhaoxi, thank you for saving us. We forgot to bring our wallet when we came out for dinner."
Hearing this, Li Yuhao immediately pretended to get up, "Oh no, I didn't bring my wallet, I'll take a step first and you can eat slowly."
Li Yuhao's words made Xu Xian's eyes turn round. Li Yuhao looked at Xu Xian and laughed, "Hahaha... Don't worry, I brought my wallet. I mean, why do you think of asking me to come out for dinner? It turns out that I asked me to pay the bill."
Xu Xian also said awkwardly, "Li Yuhaoxi, I will pay you the money tomorrow."
"Xiaoxian, can I call you like this?" After hearing Li Yuhao's words, Xu Xian thought for a while and nodded, "Yes."
"Xiaoxian, we have known each other for more than half a year. We have seen each other many times in private, right? Can't you call me OPPA like them? Or Yuhao OPPA is OK?"
Xu Xian thought about it and found that her relationship with Li Yuhao was also very familiar. She often met Li Yuhao in private with her sisters. "Oh, I got it. I will call you Li Yuhao in the future."
Li Yuhao also laughed when he heard Xu Xian's words, "Why didn't you bring your wallet when you came out? He even ran out for dinner without your wallet?"
Taeyeon said, "We were originally a broker who sent us to LOEN, so we didn't bring our wallets. We didn't have lunch, so we said we had something to eat. When we left, we put our wallets in the living room and forgot to take them. The agent suddenly left. He thought we had money on us... and it turned out to be like this now."
Yuri immediately added, "When the agent OPPA left, he asked us if we had brought the money. Taeyeon said she had brought it. After the agent left, Taeyeon touched her clothes pocket and found that she had not brought the money at all. Her wallet was in the dormitory, so we called OPPA and asked for help."
Taeyeon also retorted, "Ah!! Yuri, I said I called the agent, you said I called OPPA, right?" Pani smiled from the side, looking at the joke.
"It was my name. The agent has only been walking for ten minutes. You asked someone else to come back? What's this? In addition, when others left, they asked you if you have any money? If you want to say there is, who is the blame for this?"
When Li Yuhao saw the two of them blushing in a fight, he spoke out, "Okay, it's not the same person. It's impossible to say that you don't pay for dinner, right? Don't fight for winning or losing for this little thing. It's boring to say nothing, and it's also hurting your feelings."
Pani smiled and said to Li Yuhao, "OPPA, don't worry about them. That's what they are. Anyway, it'll be fine in a while. You can have your own meal."
Li Yuhao nodded, knowing that the two of them were not really quarrels. Li Yuhao took out his wallet and took out his 20,000 yuan to Yuri. "Yuri, go buy a few cups of coffee. Otherwise, you all look at me and eat it, I'm so embarrassed."
Yuri smiled and called Chunnei to go out to buy coffee together.
Under the gaze of Pani and Taeyeon, Li Yuhao quickly finished the meal. Yuri and her two hadn't even bought coffee.
Seeing Li Yuhao starting to wipe his mouth, Pani also smiled and said, "OPPA, are you very hungry? Eat so fast."
"I'm not so hungry, mainly because you two are under great pressure to see me eating. Besides, look at the door and see more and more FANS we have to eat. When Yuri comes back, we have to leave quickly."
Taeyeon looked outside. The glass outside the store was full of people taking photos with their mobile phones. Fortunately, Yuri and Seo Hyun went out to attract a group of people to leave, otherwise there would be more people.
Taeyeon nodded when she saw this. Li Yuhao smiled and went to check the bill. Li Yuhao just finished the bill at the front desk and Yuri and the others came back, "OPPA, coffee."
Li Yuhao smiled and waved to Pani and others, "Let's go, go."
As soon as Li Yuhao and others debuted outside the store, the FANS at the door began to call out the names of several people: "Li Yuhao, Taeyeon, Pani..."
Fortunately, the FANS rushed up excitedly to ask for a photo. Li Yuhao protected the girls' generation people and got into his car. The girls did not forget to press the window and wave to FANS standing on the side of the road when they got into the car.
After the car was away from the crowd, Li Yuhao smiled and said, "It's okay today, there are not many people. If there are more people, we can only call the company for help today."
Yuri also smiled and joked, "Haha, that's OPPA's popularity."
"I would rather not have these popularity. I am very tired. If I want to go out and buy something, I have to dress up like a thief. If I hadn't stared at the road, I would sometimes like to cover my eyes. Popularity is our foundation and a kind of constraint. Just like when we go to Aibo Park now, what do you think will become?"
Hearing this, Taeyeon laughed, "Haha... Go to Aibo Paradise? OPPA If you don't have a camera to follow, don't come out easily if you go in today." Korean FANS is still very polite. If there is a camera to follow you, they will still be more consciously away from you, which will not affect your work shooting. If there is no camera to follow you, go out privately, haha... that's hard to say.
"Yes, that's why I said that popularity is a double-edged sword. We cannot do without the strong support of popularity, but when we have popularity, we are bound by it. Not only is it inconvenient to travel, but we also have to pay attention to our words and deeds at all times. Alas... This is what we call gains and losses."
