Chapter 1127: You Sing and I'll Appear
Since the beginning of this year, people can obviously feel that the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is making collective efforts.
At the beginning of the new year, the competition between the three heroes is still fresh in people's memories and addicted.
Later, although "Love is Priceless" and "Pingxia Film" took a step back and were divided into three schedules, people were even happier, because most people could watch these three excellent TV series at the same time.
So on the side of Xiangjiang, there is a very peculiar phenomenon.
People generally stayed at home, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., mostly sitting in front of the TV.
Because everyone is like this, the flow of people on the streets of Xiangjiang at night has decreased a lot, and the merchants have scolded the three major TV stations, which has caused their business to be bad.
TV stations are on the one hand, and major record companies on the other hand, and there are many moves this year.
Zhang Guorong is such a lazy person, Polygram also successfully got him, announcing that he would release a cover album of him in the middle of the year to give back to the fans who supported him.
Right.
You read that right.
It's a cover album!
It's all about singing other people's songs, which is called a cover album.
Zhang Guorong also began to become more and more willful, as a singer, he sang other people's songs with great interest everywhere, this behavior that seemed despised by others, but in his opinion, it was very interesting.
If you want to come to Polygram, there is no way, you can't get an original album, and it's better than nothing to get a cover album, so I announced it so hard.
But the result was not what PolyGram expected.
As soon as he heard that Zhang Guorong was going to release a new album, no matter what a cover was or not, record stores in other cities flocked to it, and ordered about 3 million records in one go, which scared Polygram dumbfounded.
In this world, a Chinese singer whose record can sell more than 3 million sales, two slaps are definitely not enough.
Zhang Guorong's pre-order volume for a cover album has reached 3 million, plus some original sales, 4 million copies is appropriate.
There are probably only two or three singers like this in the whole Chinese-speaking circle, and the only one who can stabilize Zhang Guorong is Teresa Teng, who is now ranked first in the world.
Polygram has a big name like Zhang Guorong, and Kirin Records is not too weak, or even stronger.
The "Big Three" who sold well last year's album - Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang and Fei Xiang also have plans to release albums this year.
The record sales of the three of them, cumulatively, are also about 2 million copies, not as good as Zhang Guorong, but they are definitely first-class superstars.
In this year's pre-Spring Festival tour, the three of them were named the most, and they didn't know how much money they had come back for Kirin Culture.
But just like that, the three of them together can't be said to be stronger than Zhang Guorong, after all, Zhang Guorong's strength is outstanding, but the three of them can only be regarded as first-class stars.
What really says that Kirin Records is stronger than Polygram is that they have announced that they will definitely release a Chinese discourse album of pop diva Teresa Teng this year.
As soon as such news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole of Southeast Asia, no, even Japan and South Korea were looking forward to it.
In these years, Chinese music is no worse than Japanese, as for Korean...... It has gradually become the base of Chinese music!
Last year, Teresa Teng's contract with PolyGram had actually expired, but she still collaborated with Polygram on a "Teresa Deng" album, and Polygram also became the most beautiful record company from last year to this year with this album.
But after that, Teresa Teng had no intention of cooperating with them.
Originally, the queen sister meant that the old lady was going to give birth to a child, and whatever work she had, let me get out of the way.
However, when she heard that her man was going to the mainland to promote pop music, Deng Lijun immediately felt that she wanted to support it, so she thought of a Chinese record, Huang Bogao called the proprietress every day during that time, hoping that she would support her own industry, so before returning to the United States, Deng Lijun, who was entangled and helpless, had to agree to him.
So, when Polygram triumphantly released 2 million copies of Zhang Guorong's cover albums, Huang Bogao also released a big move in one go, using Teresa Teng's Chinese record to kill the audience in seconds.
Since 1980, Teresa Teng has released Japanese records and English records, but she has never released Chinese records - even if there are two Chinese songs in "Teresa Deng", it doesn't count at all.
Fans in the entire Chinese-speaking region are really looking forward to the diva's Chinese record, and now there is sudden news, and it is scheduled to be released this year, for fans, it is as excited and happy as a holiday.
In just one week, this Chinese album, whose name is not even known, has been ordered for 23 million copies.
23 million!?
When this statistic came out, almost everyone lost their voices!!
Nima, don't you want to be so scary!?
Many singers can't sell so many sales in their lifetime, but you're good, there are so many reservations!?
If you add the additions when they were released, it's no wonder that there are 30 million fewer copies!
However, if you think about it again, the sales of Teresa Deng's "Teresa Deng" have exceeded 70 million copies, and they are firmly moving towards 80 million copies, and you will know that in fact, this data is not too exaggerated.
The musical potential of the Chinese-speaking region is actually quite large, just in Asia, except for the mainland and the mainland, the Chinese music covers more than 300 million people, and if it is an international diva like Teresa Teng, then the population can increase to 500 million.
With the potential of such a population of 500 million, 30 million is a conservative estimate.
That is, with the appeal of Teresa Teng, the fame of Kirin Records suddenly resounded throughout the entire Chinese music circle, and even Polygram couldn't catch up.
This is also obvious, if you Polygram is powerful, why didn't you sign Teresa Teng?
The TV industry is so lively, the music industry is so lively, and the film industry is also so lively.
After "Best Partner" made a box office spree, Cheng Long's "Police Detective Story" also followed, after the opening of the film in February, it broke through the box office of 10 million in three days on the first weekend, reaching 10.5 million!
The production cost of this film in Hong Kong's history is only 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the production cost of "Life and Death" is only 30 million Hong Kong dollars, while the production cost of "Life and Death" is more than 25 million US dollars! It is almost six times that of "Police Detective Story!—— not including the huge global publicity expenses of 30 million US dollars.
Therefore, the 30 million in "Police Detective Story" is really worth it.
Golden Harvest learned the same as the Kirin movie, and opened the painting in Asia at the same time, and the results were also very good, Japan and South Korea frequently reported good news, and Baodao also beat "Best Partner", becoming the first this year, with a total box office of more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars a week!
It's a pity that Europe and the United States did not agree to open the film at the same time around the world, but chose to release it on a small and medium-scale scale a week later, and the treatment and results were not comparable to "Red Fan Zone", which made Zou Wenhuai regret it very much.
But overall, "Police Detective Story", a new type of film that breaks through the old film model, is very popular, at least in Asia.
In addition, Cheng Long already has a strong appeal, and the box office in Asia in the second week also exceeded 60 million, and the power has not diminished at all.
As long as anyone can see it, a superstar of action is rising.
There are even some comments saying that Cheng Long is relying on his unremitting efforts to move forward step by step.
In contrast, Fei Xiang, a rising star who became famous in one fell swoop but did not have a very solid foundation, did not have such an easy way to stabilize his position.
Fei Xiang didn't think so about this kind of remarks, he didn't care how popular he was, acting in movies was just a kind of work, what he really liked was making music.
Even Yin Jun agreed, asking him to spend a few months on Broadway to do a few musicals this year or next year, with the help of Disney's contact, which made him even more happy.
This young man who loves literature and art is far from chasing fame and fortune, or he has already had too much fame all of a sudden, so he doesn't think much about how important fame and status are.
After Cheng Long's "Police Detective Story" in early February, at the end of February, "Jinyiwei 2" was also in a group of movies, killing a bloody road.
Yu Wei of "Police Detective Story" is still here, "Shaolin Temple" is still young, and there are other movies to be released...... In this environment, even if there is only a premiere in 30 theaters, "Jinyi Wei 2" still wins the love of many fans with its exquisite fights and strong feelings of family and country.
Especially those Nanyang fans who used to like Zhang Ce's movies, they feel that Zhang Ce's movies have suddenly changed from the cruelty and bloodiness of Chiguoguo to very sharp and beautiful fights, and there is also a sublimation of content, which has risen by more than one grade.
Even in terms of content and plot, "Jinyiwei 2" is a little more hollow than the first one written by Yin Jun himself, and the logic is not so good, but the big foundation is still there, plus the continuity of the plot and viewing habits, so everyone still buys it.
Two weeks after its release, "Jinyiwei 2" received a box office of 15 million, plus a buyout price of 20 million in other cities, many people envy and hate the prediction, Zhang Ce's movie, even if it is to give the apprentices various dividends and rewards, it is more than enough to earn 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
Think about it two years ago, Zhang Ce came out of Shaw Brothers and started his own Changhe Company, and everyone was not optimistic about him.
As a result, he was very powerful, and his face was big enough, so he asked for the book directly from Yin Jun, and now a movie laid his foundation.
Looking at the popularity of "Jinyiwei 2", at least the third part can also make money.
You can earn twenty or thirty million in one series, this Yin Jun's book, as rumored, is a treasure that turns stones into gold!
