Lisa China Bar Unable to meet Expectations for Lisa’s Album

Interesting so if its 200K coming for the Cbar I wonder how much she will sell(im guessing 650k-750K)

Quote from Marmaladeheart

Well aren't 700k already bought / pre-ordered? Maybe it would be even more without the new rules. And maybe it will only reflect the first week sales.

Whenever you see "pre-orders" its store pre-orders, not individual pre-orders.

So maybe ktown4u ordered, 400K with expectations that lisabar was gonna buy 200K or something, i dont know that answer tho

Let’s hope it doesn’t affect things too much. Think how much more record breaking it could be without the Chinese rule change.. damn!

I don't get it - do those bars order that many albums to all their members or it is just to increase sales, and they don't really listen to them in the end? Because if it is the former, then why can't they just order individually.

That "rules" already taking effect? Thats so fast.

Quote from Marmaladeheart

ah okay, I understand. Makes sense. Well, then I hope they find a other way, maybe sending the money to someone outside the country to make the order but I guess that won't be easy too.

It's not easy to transfer money out of the country as well.

The rule taking effect already!?!

wow.

Chinese fan bars bulk buying ends today.

cbars usually do non ship back orders. So yes, they will order and buy the album but it doesn’t get shipped to their location. Basically it’s just to boost album sales and make their idols richer.

Hm, OK, that's kinda weird for me but nvm. Can't they just do those non-ship back orders individually tho? Or maybe not order 200k instantly but in batches or something. I think that this rule is bypassable, maybe ppl from those bars just need more time to come up with a workaround.

I don’t think Chinese banks or government from either side will approve of that. That’s a lot of money to transfer to probably a single account. Do they charge tax for that kind of money to be transferred? It’s 1.9 million dollars

Nah, 1.9 million dollar transfer is gonna be sus obviously, it would be super sus even outside China & there are transfer fees. Damn, how many people there are in those bars? These numbers are kinda crazy

There's a daily transfer limit of 50k and I suppose if it's done daily/within short time frame it's bound to arouse suspicion.

So the problem is they can't buy as much as before? Well nothing can be done. It's bad luck. Not their fault.

Isn't their end goal was 250k?? They already had funds for 200k so i hope they will be able to buy it.

So what are the exact new rules on bulk buying? Are they giving a limit to how much one person can buy or prohibiting fund raising in general?

Sucks that this is happening during her solo. It would have been nice to see the full scope of her power.

Kinda like the new rule. Enjoy the music instead of trying to one up each other

Lisa will be successful with or without Chinese fans support anyway.

With this rule implemented then that also means less extravagant meaningless birthday celebration like sending pictures into space, drone shows or buying these idols expensive gifts. Cool

So does the China Bar get to keep the extra money if they can't use it on the albums?

That’s what I’m saying lol Them mofos act fast af. Thought the rule was going to be implemented in a few months from now.

So basically they have funds for 200k copies. They can't raise funds at the moment. They have already ordered some and the rest the will on 10 September....

If it's just because they're underaged, why not let their parents order then. It is their money after all lol

The directive is aimed to curb celebrity influence (not just in entertainment) and the ability to organize.

Right? Especially as she is the most popular in China, her numbers there are insane.

I'm happy with restrictions on bulk buying because I never liked the idea in first place but I'm sad it's going to affect Lisa first... Lisabar has been the highest contributor to BP sales and now they won't be able to support Lisa as much as they thought...

It's good they make a statement about the situation, I hope the fans will double effort by seeing that

This affect every artist/idol/group - not just Lisa.

It really is a massive gamechanger and I suspect they try to kill the idol scenario for young kids.

But they are kids, they’ll find a way around all these new weird rules I suspect

Go China

bro....tell them to send the money

I don't think the problem is that they can't buy albums. I think the problem is that they can't raise more money. They have to use what they raised before the change.
