Chapter 238: The Second Week
Chen Lang's second album "Catchy" achieved a staggering sales of 172498 in the first week, becoming the weekly champion of the Hong Kong album chart.
In the second week, there was a significant decline, with 85,432 copies sold, and at the same time, it also fell directly from the weekly champion position to the third place, losing to the two divas of the latest album release.
However, Chen Lang only took two weeks to get 257,930 platinum sales, which surprised everyone, including Chen Lang himself.
The first album "Lang Lang Qiankun" received 270,000 sales in a month and a half, and only 280,000 sales have accumulated so far.
And "Catchy" only took two weeks to achieve 250,000 sales, which undoubtedly surprised Chen Lang and Huaxing.
Although it can be seen from the sharp decline in sales in the second week that the sales of "Catchy" may have been consumed by the explosion of the first week, the sales may plummet in the following weeks.
But for 300,000 sales, it is still possible to look forward to it, and if it can achieve sales of six platinums, it will definitely be a huge progress.
In Hong Kong, where geography and population are limited, every span of platinum is a qualitative leap.
This not only shows that your record quality is excellent and recognized by everyone, but also proves that you have high popularity and market appeal.
This is a very important criterion for a singer, and it may be the most important evaluation criterion for the company.
At the same time, Xu Guanjie also achieved 251921 sales in two weeks and obtained the five platinum certification.
It's just that he was pressed under Chen Lang for two consecutive weeks, which made Xu Guanjie a little depressed.
At the same time, it is also a bit of a distortion for Polygram, which acquiesced to the media hype about the dispute between the old and the new, but was full of confidence.
The subsequent "Commercial Taiwan Chinese Song Ring" brought a surprise to Chen Lang.
Unlike the decline of the Hong Kong album chart, among the ten songs announced by the Chinese song competition of Commercial Television, Chen Lang's five songs on the list last week are still all listed, and "Snail" also hit the list.
Although "Snail" is only ranked tenth, six of the top 10 are from the same record.
It can be seen that this record has a huge influence among young people, and Chen Lang's status among young people has once again been very obvious.
Two of the other four songs are from Xu Guanjie, and the remaining two belong to Zhen Ni and Xu Xiaofeng.
As for Chen Lang's "Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger List", which has always been relatively unconfident, it has maintained last week's results.
From the "Catchy" album is still "The Rainy Season at the Age of Seventeen" and "Grandma's Penghu Bay".
Xu Guanjie only has three songs left on the list this week, and "Happy" of the four songs last week fell off the list and was replaced by Jenny's "Wooden Man".
At the same time, Cai Fenghua's "The Beginning of Man" was squeezed off the list by Xu Xiaofeng's "The Season of the Wind".
Luo Wen's "In the Laser", Liana's "Infatuation" and Au Ruiqiang's "Connecting the Music Line" occupy the last three spots.
Two weeks later, the media-hyped battle between the old and the new still seems to be inconclusive.
Although Chen Lang was ahead of Xu Guanjie for two weeks, Xu Guanjie was constantly narrowing the gap between him and Chen Lang.
The gap between the two albums narrowed from 10,000 to 6,000 copies.
Although record sales are declining significantly, the record sales period is only two weeks old, and there are still nearly six weeks to go, and everything is still uncertain.
At the same time, many people think that Xu Guanjie has beaten Chen Lang in RTHK's "Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger List", and will definitely beat Chen Lang in next year's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards.
Judging from the three lists, it was undoubtedly Chen Lang who won the battle between the old and the new in the first two weeks, but the sales in the next few weeks still made Xu Guanjie's fans full of expectations, looking forward to his idol being able to reverse and win.
After Chen Lang finished eating breakfast and reading the newspaper, he suddenly heard the phone ringing.
"Hey, I'm Chen Lang, is it Sister Chen?" Chen Lang thought it was Chen Shufen who informed him that he was ready to leave for Taipei.
"I'm not your agent." The other party opened his mouth and smiled, it was actually Xu Guanjie.
"It turned out to be Brother Sam, how could it be you?" Chen Lang asked with some surprise.
"What's the matter, I won't know you Brother Sam if I win for the time being?" Xu Guanjie said in a serious tone.
"How can it be, you are my eternal idol, even if I don't know myself, I won't deny you." When Chen Lang heard this, he hurriedly said obediently.
Originally, because of the media's advocacy, and the fact that both of them are singers with both strength and popularity, although the two are usually teachers and friends, they also hope to be able to suppress each other when they are opponents to prove their strength and status in the music industry.
Now the competition between the two has come to an end two weeks later, and Chen Lang, as the winning party, will definitely dislike Xu Guanjie if he is arrogant.
Xu Guanjie is still half of Chen Lang's master, and he usually gives Chen Lang a lot of guidance and teaching, and Chen Lang does regard Xu Guanjie, who has both singing skills and character, as his mentor and friend.
In the past, the two were able to compete with all their strength when they were not decided, but now that they have won each other temporarily, they are a little embarrassed to break away from the role of competitors.
"If you kid doesn't recognize me, I'll have to beat you up. Hahaha......" Xu Guanjie laughed to himself after speaking.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you. This time you won temporarily, but I didn't expect that you have only been in the music industry for two years, and you, who are also half of my apprentices, actually beat me head-on, I really didn't expect it. ”
"The main thing is that you and Sister Li teach well, I can be regarded as a famous teacher and a high apprentice." Chen Lang could only laugh when he heard this.
"Ah Jun and I have instructed you a lot, but there are many people who have been instructed by the two of us, and there are very few people who can really become talents, and you are the only one who can beat me head-on in the competition. I have to admit that you are a genius, especially the creative ability is really shocking, the twenty songs in the two records are all classics, I am not wronged. Xu Guanjie sighed.
Chen Lang heard something unusual, Xu Guanjie meant that he thought he had lost in the quality of the song.
If Xu Guanjie's songs are all classics, he will definitely not lose, because Xu Guanjie's current singing skills and experience are far better than Chen Lang.
It's just that Xu Guanjie doesn't understand that a new generation of young people has grown up, and they need idols that are more in line with their standards and fantasies.
And the popularity of the older generation of singers among young people will inevitably decline, even if the quality of the songs of the two is the same, Xu Guanjie will not necessarily win.
"This can only be said to be talent, next time if Brother Sam wants to release a record, I will definitely help you write a song." Chen Lang patted his chest and reassured.
"I'm just waiting for you to say this, but one song is not enough, at least three." Xu Guanjie played tricks.
"No problem, just three songs, I will definitely turn them in." Chen Lang reluctantly agreed, anyway, a good song is not a matter for him at all.
"I know that your kid has a lot of good songs, and I don't know if I took them out to me earlier, it seems that I still want less." Xu Guanjie narrowed his eyes and said murderously.
"No, really no. I don't know when I'll be able to write these three songs, so you'll have to give me some time. I will also give it to you for the sake of you being my master and idol, and you also know how difficult it is to create a good song, which can definitely be said to be something that can be met but not sought. Chen Lang was so frightened when he heard this that he hurriedly cried.
"I also know that good songs are not easy to create, but you kid promised to give me three songs, and it must be indispensable." As a singer-songwriter, Xu Guanjie naturally knows the difficulties, so he didn't embarrass Chen Lang anymore.
Originally, I just wanted to scare Chen Lang, but I didn't expect to be able to blackmail three good songs, which was definitely a surprise.
"I heard you're going to Taipei today, right?" Xu Guanjie changed the subject.
"Yes, I'm going to leave soon, this time not only Taipei, but also Southeast Asia, South Korea and Japan, are going to promote the record." Chen Lang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"You're such a great kid that even Japan and South Korea are going to release records, and this is an Asia-wide release. But if your first record can achieve 2 million sales, you do have the confidence to do so. Xu Guanjie shook his head and sighed when he heard this.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Chen Lang couldn't say anything when he heard this, so he had to smirk.
"Okay, then I won't delay your departure, have a good trip, and the record is a big hit! But if you come back and find that I've outsold you, don't be surprised who told you to leave Hong Kong. Hahaha......" Xu Guanjie laughed and hung up the phone.
Chen Lang was helpless when he heard this, the sales during the time he left was really hard to say, and the gap of 6,000 copies was not an insurmountable gap.
Soon after putting down the phone, Chen Lang heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Chen Shufen and the driver, "Sister Chen, you are here." ”
"Well, we need to leave now, catch a plane." After finishing speaking, he and the driver went downstairs with Chen Lang's three big suitcases, and ran all the way to the airport.
"Lang Lang, this time we will promote in Taipei for three days, mainly signing meetings and fan meetings, and will also participate in several programs with high ratings, Haishan Rolling Stone Records have been arranged." Chen Shufen said.
"Well, Hong Kong is over, and now it's the whole of Asia." Chen Lang said with emotion, after all, this is his first trip to Asia.
"This record is almost certain to surpass the results of "Lang Lang Qiankun" in Hong Kong, and with you personally participating in the promotion of the record throughout Asia this time, I believe that the final result will also exceed the total sales of "Lang Lang Qiankun" in Asia." Chen Shufen is also full of expectations for this trip to Asia.
"That's more than 2 million sales, but with the foreshadowing of the first record, this time it will definitely surpass the results of "Lang Lang Qiankun". Chen Lang nodded.
"By the way, Sister Chen, do you have time to go to Haishan Rolling Stone Records?"
"Of course, all the trips in Taiwan this time are arranged by Haishan Rolling Stone Records, and we will definitely have to meet at that time."
"That's good, I have something to discuss with them."
