Chapter 710: Effort
Prior to the album "Next Stop", the record for the number of first-day online pre-orders for the new album was set by Chen Guohua two years ago, and the singer's "For Your Love" album received more than 50,000 first-day pre-orders at that time.
"Next Stop Diva" is a little higher than "Love for You", close to 60,000!
This is a very remarkable record, you must know that Hong Kong entered the Internet era earlier than the mainland, and the Internet penetration rate and speed of Hong Kong have surpassed that of the mainland, and the impact on Hong Kong's local pop music is of course huge.
Back then, a singer sold hundreds of thousands of albums at every turn, but now it is extremely difficult to achieve, so many Hong Kong musicians have developed in the mainland early, which is also the reason for the gradual decline of Cantonese songs.
To put it mildly, in the Xiangjiang music scene in recent years, it is not too much to describe it as a pool of stagnant water.
This makes Wu Jiamei's stand out and look particularly dazzling!
But the question is, why can Wu Jiamei break the record? Why can she beat a big name in the circle, is she too good, or is it something else?
"Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly" once again gave the answer.
The wolf is really coming—— this is the title of the article on the front page of the latest issue of "Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly", which echoes their previous "The Wolf is Coming".
The focus of the article is still Luo Kai, the superstar who stands behind Wu Jiamei, but is full of radiance.
It is with Luo Kai's support that Wu Jiamei can make her album set a new record and sweep Xiangjiang to stand out from her peers, without Luo Kai, there would be no success for this little diva.
The editor of the article predicted in a tone of impending catastrophe that the mainland entertainment industry represented by Luo Kai will gradually squeeze and assimilate the entertainment market in Hong Kong, and now is just the beginning.
"This is!"
In the grand banquet hall on the top floor of the Xiangjiang Seven Star Genting Hotel, Luo Kai, who was sitting on a soft chair, disdainfully threw the "Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly" in his hand aside, and he didn't bother to complain.
He read the "Wolf Comes" article in "Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly" last time, and this time the old tune is repeated to sensationalize, which is really funny for Luo Kai.
He was too full to grab the huge market in the mainland, and went to Xiangjiang to make waves?
This kind of xenophobia mentality of the Xiangjiang media, the persecution fantasy mentality, is really painful.
"That's what Island Entertainment Weekly is like..."
Duan Jianming, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile: "The broken things are as big as the sky, it is nothing more than for sales, and Xiangjiang media is not all like this." ”
As he spoke, he handed another newspaper to Luo Kai: "Look at this. ”
Duan Jianming handed Luo Kai a copy of the "Wen Bao" that had just been published today.
Unlike entertainment newspapers such as Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly, Wen Pao's style is more serious, and the content of the report is mainly current affairs news, and there is little news related to the entertainment industry.
However, this issue of "Wen Pao" published an article on its second page, which refuted the so-called "wolf is really coming" argument of "Hong Kong Island Entertainment Weekly".
"The real wolf will only gallop on the grassland, and will never choose a grassland to live in, today's Xiangjiang entertainment market is no different from grassland and grassland compared to the mainland, thinking that Luo Kai is a wolf, I really think too much. ”
"In my opinion, Luo Kai is more like a catfish, he brings vitality and motivation to the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, if the musicians in Xiangjiang work hard because of his arrival, it will undoubtedly be a great thing..."
The article of about 1,000 words, Luo Kai only took a few minutes to read it, and when he came back and saw that the author of the article was named "Lonely Mountain Guest", he seemed to be a little impressed.
However, whether it is positive or negative, for Luo Kai, the controversy of the Hong Kong media does not matter, and he is now focusing all his energy on the filming of the last and most important stage of "Across the Seas".
"Unit 1 is in place!"
"Unit 2 is in place!"
"The lights are OK. ”
In the banquet hall, the crew went back and forth to make the final preparations, dozens of well-dressed group performers had already arrived on the dance floor, the lights were fully turned on, and the lenses of the two cameras were aimed at Mo Lan standing in the middle at the same time.
Mo Lan was dressed in a white evening dress, and she was incomprehensibly beautiful.
Luo Kai took a deep breath, handed the director's microphone to Duan Jianming, and got up and sat on the wheelchair that the prop master had just pushed over.
“Action!”
The next moment, the music of the waltz waltz sounded, and the banquet hall was full of guests and laughter, and men and women from the upper class socialized and socialized.
Luo Kai pushed the wheels with both hands and let the wheelchair he was sitting in slide forward, stopping in front of Mo Lan.
He was wearing a black suit, not much different from the other male guests, except that everyone else was standing, but he was sitting, and his legs were incapacitated.
But Luo Kai did not feel inferior or painful and lost because of this, he looked up at his past lover, and the smile on his face was the same as before: "Red Bean, let's dance." ”
Mo Lan looked at him in a daze, as if he didn't believe it, and his beautiful eyes were faintly filled with tears.
But she didn't cry, let alone refuse Luo Kai's invitation, she bit her lip and nodded with a smile.
Luo Kai smiled even brighter and stretched out his hand to Mo Lan.
Mo Lan put his hand in his.
The eyes of the surrounding guests focused on the separated and reunited couple, some surprised, some curious, some gloating, and some sneering and contemptuous.
Hao Ye stood in the crowd, holding a champagne glass in his hand, looking at the two with a cold gaze.
It's like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.
However, Luo Kai and Mo Lan ignored everyone's gaze, and they only looked at each other, dancing to the accompaniment of music.
Although Luo Kai couldn't dance like a normal person, he controlled the wheelchair, followed the rhythm of the dance music quickly or slowly, and danced with Mo Lan, and cooperated with each other very tacitly.
There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is clear!
This is a classic scene in "Across the Seas", in order to shoot the best effect, Luo Kai spent a long time walking and "dancing" in a wheelchair.
No one's success is obtained casually, a sweat and a harvest, even if he has the memory wealth of a world, he still will not give up his efforts.
NG again and again, let sweat soak clothes, and do not compromise easily!
