Chapter 296: Neck and neck

Because the box office of the last emperor was not ideal, it affected the box office prediction of the twentieth century Fox for Qiao Feng's next films, and the film schedule did not want to strive for the highest release scale.

Because not only are the actors in this film Hong Kong, but the background of the story is Hong Kong, which makes Twentieth Century Fox even more optimistic about the prospects of this film.

People are not optimistic, the scale of the release can only be arranged to 700 canvases, Qiao Feng simply suspended the negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox, and was ready to wait for Top Gun to see the box office after its release.

But when Top Gun is released, or it will be a few months until the next painting, and then the bodyguards will be arranged as soon as November and December, so it's not a matter of waiting.

So, Qiao Feng simply prepared to release this film in Hong Kong now, and let the Yankees see the box office situation of this film in Hong Kong.

In his previous life, the bodyguard movie could have a very good box office in North America and around the world, in Qiao Feng's view, it was because of the novelty of the film's material selection, it can be said to be a successful combination of thrilling, action, gunfight, entertainment and romantic tenderness.

Another reason is that this film has several very, very good music. There is a good saying, that is, the movie may have a so-called audience and scope because of the background and values, but the music has no borders.

The quality of the music, even if you don't understand the meaning of the lyrics, and if you don't understand any word, it doesn't affect your judgment of whether it's good or bad.

Qiao Feng doesn't know how many people have watched the movie and liked the music inside, and how many people have chosen to watch the movie after listening to the music.

But Qiao Feng himself knows very well that for many American movies, he first heard the music and thought the music was good, so he chose to watch the movies curiously.

Like a ghost is not over, Titanic, and this bodyguard are all like this, listen to the music first before choosing to watch the movie.

Qiao Feng felt that for Ren Dahua and Ye Qianwen, two newcomers who were proper foreign audiences, promoting them, or letting them publicize it had no effect at all.

Instead of wasting energy in vain, it's better to start directly with the song, anyway, the bodyguard's soundtrack has already been recorded.

Qiao Feng is not only planning to play music in the United States to promote this trick, but also plans to try it in Hong Kong.

Although Hong Kong's pop music was already dominated by Cantonese songs at this time, it was mainly based on Chinese and English in the early seven or eight years and ten years.

Take Teddy Robin, for example, he was the first person to form a band in Hong Kong, and his Playboy band was dedicated to singing English songs, because at that time Chinese songs and English songs were the mainstream in Hong Kong.

Others, like Tan Yonglin's Wenner band, also sang English songs in the early days, and the titles of several albums released were in English, regardless of the album titles.

At that time, only Xu Guanjie's Lotus Band sang Cantonese songs, oh, it couldn't be called a song at first, and the music circle called it a slang minor.

It is precisely because Xu Guanjie is regarded as the precedent of the lead singer of Cantonese songs, and he has carried it forward, which is called the god of songs.

Because in addition to this reason, if you want to say how good he sings, how much better he sings, how much better than others, this is definitely impossible, whether it is Tydi Robin, or Tan Yonglin will definitely not agree.

It is only because he has made considerable contributions to Cantonese songs that he is called the god of songs, which is the main reason.

In the early years, Chinese songs and English songs were the mainstream, and Chinese songs were because Hong Kong was originally a Chinese territory, and many of Hong Kong's residents came from the mainland, and there was a foundation for Chinese songs.

Because of the foundation, Qiao Feng believes that the bodyguard movie soundtrack album released by Ye Qianwen will definitely have a very good result.

Ye Qianwen's English level is not good, to be honest, it is much more slippery than her Chinese, and again, the songs in it are very high and accurate, especially the main I have nothing and I ill Alays Love You These two songs, absolute classics.

Qiao Feng didn't believe that his grades would be worse.

And the facts did not disappoint Qiao Feng.

Ye Qianwen, who is popular in the music and film world, has quite a lot of fans, and when the news of her new album came out, it aroused great enthusiasm among fans, and the new album ushered in a rush as soon as it was released.

On the day of the sale, it broke one platinum, the second day it broke three platinums, on the third day it rose again to five platinums, and then on the fourth day the momentum began to slow down, and then it got six platinums, and then two platinums in three days, for a total of eight platinums in a week.

The Hong Kong music scene was shocked beyond measure.

Due to the restrictions of the record market in Hong Kong, the certification of gold and platinum records is different from other places.

Because Hong Kong is just a city, everything else is a country.

So in other countries, like the United States, the gold record is 500,000, and the platinum record is 1 million, but the Hong Kong gold record is only 25,000, and the standard for platinum record is only 50,000.

However, don't think that platinum records are easy to get this way, and don't think that eight platinums a week are common.

In fact, before that, there was only one person in Hong Kong who reached eight platinum album sales in a week, and that was the album Bad Girl released by Anita Mui last year, and Bad Girl was also the champion of Hong Kong record sales before that.

Before Anita Mui's Bad Girl, the highest record in Hong Kong was held by Jenny, and that was 79 years ago.

In '78, Jenny's new song was launched and then sold well, and the craze continued until '79, with a total sales of 800,000 copies of Sixteen Platinum.

However, last year, Anita Mui's Bad Girl went on sale, and it sold 400,000 copies of 8 platinum in one week, and then it reached 720,000 copies in three months, 14 platinum copies, and a month later it had already surpassed the record of 800,000 16 platinum records.

Before the bad girl, the Hong Kong and Taiwan media were inextricably debated about who was the first sister in the music world, whether it was Ye Qianwen or Anita Mui.

In terms of record sales, whether it is the original soundtrack album in the wrong car or the original soundtrack album with deep love and rain, the sales volume is higher than Anita Mui's record sales, but in terms of influence in Hong Kong, Anita Mui seems to be higher than Ye Qianwen.

Because Ye Qianwen's two original albums are both Chinese songs, while Anita Mui's are Cantonese songs, some people say that Chinese songs are of course counted, but some people say that Cantonese songs are still counted in Hong Kong.

It's noisy, it's very noisy, but in comparison, Ye Qianwen has the upper hand.

But when the bad girl was released, all the controversy was gone, and everyone recognized Anita Mui as the first sister in the Hong Kong music scene at this time.

Ye Qianwen has always been a little concerned about this, Qiao Feng has comforted her many times but it has no effect, now it's okay, after Anita Mui, she also has a record of eight platinums a week, although it is an English song album.
