Chapter 478: The Root of Love
Chen Lang was studying on campus with peace of mind, and soon September had passed, and the time had come to October.
The last volume of the manga "Zhu Xian" released in September set off a sales boom because of the finale, and the sales volume reached more than 230,000 copies throughout September, and it is sprinting towards the sales record of 250,000 copies.
At the same time, on October 1st, Yulang International released the first single book of "Ethereal Journey", which once again ushered in a buying boom among novel fans and comic book fans, and Yulang International made as much money as the company's other comics with the comics adapted from these two novels, and Yulang International definitely made a lot of money.
So Yulang International once again proposed to buy the comic adaptation rights of Chen Lang's other four novels, in fact, this intention had been mentioned as early as when "Zhu Xian" created a Hong Kong comic sales record, but Chen Lang thought about it for a while and did not agree or refuse, and did not give Yulang International a clear reply.
Because in Chen Lang's view, comics are also an important part of entertainment, and he has such excellent resource content, and he is really sorry for his insight from later generations to be able to sell it to others to make money, so Chen Lang wanted to open a comic company to run his own novel adaptation, and of course there are many classics in his mind.
But later Chen Lang found that the current Yulang International has dominated the Hong Kong comic industry, and the original Huang Yulang's nemesis, Guan Xiaobao, gave up resistance and joined Yulang International, whether it is in terms of market influence, brand benefits or comic talents, Yulang International has reached its peak, and no one in Hong Kong can beat it.
Chen Lang wants to set up another mountain to fight against it, and I am afraid it will be difficult.
In addition, Chen Lang's current career focus is still in the music industry, and he has to face the fierce impact of Alan Tam personally, and the record company has just been established, and he will face strong pressure from Polygram and Huaxing.
In addition, the film company is also a start-up, although there are good works, but the output is small, there is a serious shortage of talents, and if you want to develop rapidly, you have to wait until next year.
Based on all of the above, Chen Lang does not have an advantage in the face of Yulang International, and there are also record companies and film companies that have a lot of energy to disperse, so Chen Lang feels that he is looking for death to start a war with Yulang International.
Therefore, when Chen Lang International proposed to buy the comic adaptation rights of the novel again, he finally agreed to this request, but he could only sign the contract one by one.
Because Chen Lang knows that Yulang International will be acquired in the future, and Huang Yulang is even more imprisoned, he still has a chance to make up for the shortcomings of comics, and there are a few years as a buffer, Chen Lang believes that his status and influence will be absolutely different from now.
Although Yulang International was a little dissatisfied with the inability to package the adaptation rights of Chen Lang's four novels together, it finally agreed.
On the one hand, it is because of Chen Lang's persistence, and on the other hand, Huang Yulang's self-confidence, in Hong Kong at this time, Chen Lang can only maximize his interests by granting the comic adaptation rights of the novel to Yulang International, otherwise he may be severely suppressed.
After the end of September, Jenny's latest album "Charming May" sold 190,000 copies, and it is already a certainty to get four platinums, and five platinums may not have much hope, but more than 210,000 copies should be no problem.
This result made LL Records very satisfied, and now Chen Shufen is planning to take advantage of the boom caused by the record to hold a concert for Jenny, which will be held at the Red Pavilion, a legendary venue in the Hong Kong music scene in the future.
Speaking of which, Chen Shufen first did when she was in Huaxing to host concerts, and later began to pay attention to record production and distribution after signing Chen Lang.
But because Chen Lang debuted early, the number of his songs was insufficient, and because of the internal struggle for power and profit within Huaxing, it was delayed, and now Chen Lang ran into the campus to study, and Chen Shufen, who was helpless, could only aim at the diva Zhenni.
Jenny is also experienced in holding concerts, and being able to hold a concert is a good opportunity to get in touch with fans, and it can also show the popularity of a singer, if the concert tickets can't be sold, it will be a big joke.
Now Zhenni has the power of a new record, there is absolutely no problem in holding a concert, and holding a concert at the same time is also a good opportunity to make money, and it is to make a lot of money, holding a few concerts can bring millions of income to the singer, and the income is not unsubstantial.
And there is another benefit, that is, LL Records can release another "Zhenni Concert Selected Record" according to the concert.
In Hong Kong in this era, this kind of record is often very marketable and sells well, because the concert is generally sung by a singer's golden songs, which is equivalent to a singer's selected golden song collection of all songs, which is naturally welcomed and sought after by fans.
At the same time, LL Films' second film of the year, "Merry Christmas", officially started filming.
LL Films and Shaw Brothers booked a release on December 12, which is only two and a half months away, so Gao Zhisen had to start filming immediately after getting a little familiar with the crew.
Chen Lang was a little worried about the two-and-a-half-month shooting of the movie, and even had the idea of changing the release date.
However, Gao Zhisen said that there was no problem at all, two months was enough, Chen Lang thought that the fast gunner is a major feature of Hong Kong movies in this era, and this movie has no hot shots, purely funny and warm, I believe it is not a big problem.
Speaking of which, this schedule is a Christmas file, this is the best schedule except for the summer file, originally Xue Tianlan still had the idea of being more auspicious when she went to negotiate, but she didn't expect Shaw Brothers to agree very happily, which made Xue Tianlan very surprised.
Chen Lang was also very surprised to learn of this result, according to Fang Yihua's door-picking temperament, it would be strange not to squeeze himself, but he didn't expect to give up the best schedule so easily this time, Chen Lang was wondering if Fang Yihua had some conspiracy, obviously Chen Lang was scared by Fang Yihua's methods of squeezing himself in the first two negotiations.
Hideaki Anno of LL Films also received news that the anime has completed 150 episodes, and the production speed will be faster and faster, and now the company can contact the TV station to sell the exhibition rights.
At the same time, after the company's continuous recruitment, the two groups have come in a lot of college students and enthusiasts with a good level, and Hideaki Anno also divided the animation group into two groups, with three old people and new members to produce cartoons, and the other group was led by himself, and began to make full production of "Zhu Xian" anime.
The company's development has been relatively smooth, and Chen Lang has been studying on campus with peace of mind, but in November, two things attracted Chen Lang's attention.
The first thing is about Zhen Ni's concert, Chen Shufen has announced that Zhen Ni will hold a seven-show concert at the Red Hall on November 10, it is worth mentioning that Zhen Ni will become the second female singer to enter the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium to hold a solo concert after Teresa Teng.
Zhen Ni held a concert, in addition to singing herself, she naturally had to invite guests, and Chen Lang, who is the popular king of the music industry and also the boss, is naturally no exception, and this is the third time that Chen Lang has been a guest performer at the concert.
The first time was when Chen Lang was not famous, Teresa Teng appointed him as a singing guest, which was undoubtedly a huge help to Chen Lang at that time.
The second time was Xu Guanjie's concert, Xu Guanjie can be described as Chen Lang's mentor and friend, Xu Guanjie has not yet sent an invitation, Chen Lang recommended himself, Xu Guanjie naturally agreed with a smile.
At that time, it was not long after the old and new dispute between Chen Lang and Xu Guanjie ended, Chen Lang's appearance at Xu Guanjie's concert surprised many people, which undoubtedly proved the intimacy between the two, and it became a good story for a while.
However, Chen Lang was going to be the guest of Zhenni's concert but it was not announced, which was a surprise to everyone.
The second thing attracted great attention from Chen Lang, because Alan Tam released his second record this year, "The Root of Love", which was later known as the second part of the love trilogy.
This record was hailed as Alan Tam's most classic record in his previous life, and even many fans thought that this was the most classic record in the Hong Kong music scene.
In any case, this record is indeed very meaningful, not only for Alan Tam, but even for the Hong Kong music scene.
As far as the Hong Kong music scene is concerned, this record is mainly based on Japanese songs, mainly closer to Japanese pop music.
Prior to this, the Hong Kong music scene was actually represented by Hui Guanjie, Kwan Zhengjie, etc., with the content of small citizen culture and martial arts culture.
Later, the four mainstream singers Tan Zhangmei Chen mainly sang and adapted Japanese songs, and the four heavenly kings naturally led the vane of the entire music world, and the rest of the singers either actively or passively sang the adapted Japanese songs.
At the same time, this is an epoch-making record, with which the Hong Kong music scene has entered a golden age represented by Tan Zhang Mei Chen.
As far as Alan Tam is concerned, the great success of this record lies in the fact that every song of it is a classic, and it has achieved a height that a younger generation of singers cannot cross. This is a love song album, mainly slow songs, but fast songs also have quite an excellent performance, it can be said that the principal's most classic slow songs and fast songs are all from this record.
This record also perfectly shows Alan Tam's unique singing voice, and at the same time once again improves Alan Tam's status in the music world, directly laying the foundation for his music king.
