Chapter 122 Records
While everyone was still surprised by Hong Kong's youngest millionaire, TVB and its newspapers and magazines such as "Southern Film", "Oriental Daily" and "Ming Pao" all reported the news at the same time.
"The little talent signed with Huaxing Records and officially entered the Hong Kong music scene!"
"Huaxing Records is close to the water, and the first artist and singer Lang Lang signed a contract!"
"The youngest millionaire to sign with Huaxing Records!" ……
A news has not been digested, and another big news has been broken, everyone's eyes were attracted by Chen Lang again, who was still strange that Chen Lang won the championship of the Asian Amateur Singing Competition, but after returning to Hong Kong, he first sold the adaptation rights of novels and comics, and then signed and sold books, but it had nothing to do with music, and seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
I didn't expect that the news that Chen Lang had signed a record company finally broke out, but what I didn't expect was that it was not Polygram, nor Baidai, but Huaxing Records, which had never signed any artists and singers before.
Chen Lang's many fans cheered loudly after knowing the news, and finally waited for the news that the idol signed a record company, since the end of the Asian amateur singing competition, everyone is looking forward to Chen Lang's first record, but two and a half months have passed without news, everyone is anxious, then anxious, and then desperate, but in the end, there is a turning point.
When many of Chen Lang's music fans were still happy that their idols signed with the record company, the next day the media broke the news that everyone was even more surprised, Chen Lang's first Cantonese album will be officially put on sale in major music stores in Hong Kong on August 8.
After Chen Lang recorded his first record in early July, Huaxing has been speeding up post-production, for which Chen Shufen and Gu Jiahui are working overtime, often working overtime, and finally hurried to complete the mastering of the record in early August, and then took it to the record manufacturer to suppress, after Gu Jiahui determined that there was no problem with the sound quality and other aspects, he worked overtime to finally fill 100,000 records.
In Hong Kong, 25,000 records are gold records, 50,000 are platinum records, of course, different places, for example, American gold records are 500,000 records, 1 million are platinum records, and 10 million are diamond records. However, the number of people in Hong Kong in the 80s was only about 5 million, and even if the number of people in later generations increased by about 7 million, it is naturally incomparable with the hundreds of millions of people in the United States.
For Chen Lang, a newcomer, Huaxing has poured 100,000 records, and if all of them are sold, it will be 2 platinum, which can show Huaxing's optimism about Chen Lang.
The 80s were indeed the best and most glorious decade for Hong Kong record sales, but the rise of Internet technology in the 90s, coupled with the popularity of CDs and tapes, squeezed the record market, which also led to the emergence of a large area of piracy, so far record sales have declined rapidly.
In the 80s, it was not very difficult for the superstars in the music industry to sell five or six platinums, but in the 90s, even the albums of the Four Heavenly Kings sold more than six platinum albums, only one of the singers Jacky Cheung's "True Love Revealed", and in the 21st century, the entire Chinese music market has fallen to the bottom, and selling 30,000 copies in Hong Kong can be a big celebration banquet.
Huaxing is a subsidiary of TVB, backed by Shao Tycoon, so a lot of music is very face-saving, of course, the element of money is also essential, and at the same time, pre-sale advertisements have been inserted in major newspapers and magazines and even TVB, and for a time the news about the imminent sale of Chen Lang's first record covered the whole of Hong Kong.
The main highlight in the promotion is that all ten songs are original or adapted by Chen Lang himself, and several of the songs that have been released are classics, and the remaining ones naturally make everyone full of expectations.
Chen Lang's wonderful performance in mid-May when he won the Asian Amateur Singing Competition, as well as Chen Lang's many crazy fans, and finally a big-name music producer, Gu Jiahui, everyone is looking forward to this record.
Xu Guanjie specifically mentioned this matter in an interview with the media, "I recently heard that Lang Lang's first record is about to be officially sold, I will definitely buy two records at that time, one for collection and one for appreciation, I believe Lang Lang will bring me surprises, I am looking forward to Chen Lang's first record." ”
Teresa Teng, who has just returned to Hong Kong from Taiwan, is also full of confidence in Chen Lang in the face of reporters' questions, "Lang Lang is my little brother, I am very happy to have such a handsome and talented younger brother, I never doubt Lang Lang's musical talent, it can be seen from the previous singing competition, I believe that Lang Lang's first record will be able to sell well." ”
Huang Zhan was also full of expectations when asked by the media about Chen Lang's first record, "As a lyricist, I know the difficulty and beauty of creating a classic, Lang Lang is only fifteen years old, but the creative talent shown is shocking, this time Lang Lang's first record ten songs are his own original and adaptation, I am really looking forward to it, looking forward to him bringing me a huge surprise again." ”
In the office of Shao Daheng of TVB, Chen Shufen and Chen Liuquan, the heads of Huaxing, were all sitting, and Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin and Xiao Sheng were also seated.
"Sixth uncle, now Lang Lang's first record has been distributed in major music stores, and it is all in the best position, everything is waiting for the official release and sale on August 8th." Chen Shufen reported respectfully.
"Well, Lang Lang is the first singer and artist signed by Huaxing, this record is very important for us to vigorously enter the record industry, and we must have a beautiful result." Shao Tycoon said solemnly.
"The ten songs in this record have all been praised by producer Gu Jiahui, all of them are classics or masterpieces, and Gu Jiahui is very strict with Lang Lang, this record can be described as a perfect work, and we are very confident in it." Chen Shufen resolutely assured.
"Hehe, this kid has made a lot of noise recently, the novel "Zhu Xian" has sold 1.5 million sets, and he has earned 1 million Hong Kong dollars, the key is that he is only 15 years old, and the young people now are really amazing." Wang Tianlin moved his fat body and sighed.
"Yes, at a young age, it is already famous in Xiangjiang, the key is that it has a very high popularity, especially for teenagers, there is some huge influence, from so many people to the airport to pick up, a new nation was directly born 'star chaser', which shows everyone's love for this kid. If he is brought to make a TV series, as long as the plot is not too bad, he will definitely achieve high ratings. Xiao Sheng also echoed.
"No, now Lang Lang has just released his first record, and in order to sell the record, he still needs to participate in a lot of publicity, and he has no time to shoot a TV series." Chen Shufen immediately retorted when she heard Xiao Sheng's words, and Chen Liuquan was also anxious.
Shao Daheng shook his head and smiled when he saw Chen Shufen's anxious appearance, "We all know that Lang Lang is your heart, and now Lang Lang is your Huaxing person, if you really want him to make a TV series, I will definitely greet you in advance." ”
The others laughed secretly when they saw Chen Shufen's appearance, Chen Shufen completely ignored this, and only relieved when they heard Shao Daheng's words, now Lang Lang is the future of Huaxing, and he naturally attaches great importance to Lang Lang's first record, and there is no discussion.
Chen Shufen frowned again when she thought of one thing, and then said to Shao Daheng, "Although Lang Lang has signed a contract with Huaxing, he has a request to let me be his agent, and I don't know why Lang Lang has this request, but in order to sign a contract with Lang Lang smoothly, I have nodded and agreed." ”
"You want to be his agent?" Shao Daheng was also puzzled when he heard this, because he knew that Chen Shufen had never been anyone's agent before, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a while, and this didn't seem to be harmful to Huaxing and Wireless, so he nodded indifferently and said, "I know, it's not a big deal anyway, so promise him." ”
