Chapter 230 Officially Released
On the last day of February, Huaxing's promotion of "Catchy" continued.
Johnny To is also in Shaw Brothers Film Company, busy editing samples for "The Rainy Season at the Age of Seventeen", and Gu Jiahui and Chen Lang are sitting on the side.
The length of the MV should match the length of the song, so Johnny To had to condense all the filming content into four and a half minutes.
After a day of hard work, the final version of the MV was finally edited.
Johnny To and Gu Jiahui both felt very good when they watched this MV, and at the same time admired Chen Lang's wonderful idea.
Chen Lang looked at the MV playing in front of him and was noncommittal.
In my previous life, I saw countless masterpieces, and I feel that the current "Rainy Season at the Age of Seventeen" is still above the level.
However, as the first MV in this world, the most important thing is the novel publicity effect, as long as it is not too bad, it can play the expected role.
After returning home in the evening, Chen Lang thought about tomorrow's record battle, a little absent-minded, and his family also knew Chen Lang's worries after reading the newspaper.
"Lang Lang, the record has been recorded, it's useless to think about it now, it's better to wait until the publicity time to work hard."
Chen Lang nodded when he heard this, now he is a mediocre person who disturbs himself, and there is no need at all.
Now it's time to prepare for the upcoming publicity, to sell the record, to fight for yourself, and for the many fans who support you.
After eating, Chen Lang received a call from Chen Jian and knew that many fans were ready to support his record.
In addition to being moved in my heart, I am also full of confidence, full of energy, and everything is just waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
On March 1st, it arrived as scheduled.
The sun has not yet crossed the horizon, the sky is not yet completely transparent, but there are long queues in front of Hong Kong's major music shops.
The queues in front of the major music lines are divided into two distinct teams.
One of the teams is almost entirely made up of students and young people in school.
The other couple is much older on average, and is basically an adult who has already gone to work and been married.
Before the door opened, both teams were discussing each other's idols' latest albums, and they were also paying attention to the teams on the other side.
"Why didn't you go to Lang Lang Qiankun to buy Chen Lang's records?"
"I went, but the queue in front of Lang Lang Qiankun was already three streets away, and even the traffic was jammed, and the traffic police were maintaining order, so I had to run here."
"Hehe, the charm of idols is really invincible."
"The fans of our clubs in various regions have long discussed that they want to fight for Lang Lang today, of course, there are many people, and there are many fans of the singer Sam, but there are still not as many students as us."
"But Ah Sam is a superstar who has been famous for many years, and there are many fans, and most of them are adults, although Lang Lang is talented and has many fans, but looking at this posture, the two seem to be evenly matched, I don't know what happened elsewhere."
……
"There are a lot of students on the other side, and Lang Lang's influence among these young people is really incomparable."
"It's true that although the song is fast-paced, the song 'Childhood' is really good, and I love this song very much."
""Childhood" is worthy of the top ten Chinese golden songs, it is indeed a classic, but now that Lang Lang and Ah Sam have released a record together, it will be a dragon battle to see it."
"Hehe, I heard that Lang Lang's record this time is mainly about campus songs, it should be quite nostalgic, this time I plan to buy the two records together."
……
When the two teams were talking to each other, the doors opened on time at eight o'clock in the morning.
Both teams squeezed in at once, rushing to the counter and pulling out the money to buy the record.
"I want a copy of Sam's 'Unforgettable You, Paper Boat'."
"I want a copy of Lang Lang's "Catchy"."
"I want two records of the God of Songs."
"I want three big albums."
"I ...... I want one record each of Sam and Lang Lang. ”
……
Originally, the two teams each bought their idol's records, and they were fine.
In addition, Chen Lang blew himself up and said that Ah Sam is his idol, so the relationship between the two fan groups is usually quite good.
But then somehow it got better.
You buy two, I'll buy three, they all want to suppress each other and prove that their idols are the best.
The reality is that Chen Lang has a large number of fans and students, although there are many more fans than Ah Sam, but his purchasing power is relatively weak.
Many of them are one record per person, but there are also many cases where two people buy a record or even three people buy a record.
After all, the price of records is still relatively high, and for today's students, the burden is still not small, and I am afraid that they will have to eat a lot of breakfast.
The number of Sam's fans is relatively small, but most of them are adults, and they are the main group of consumers.
Therefore, it is basically one per person, and there are many people who buy a song to listen to and a collection, and there are not a few people who buy records for this reason.
Of course, there are also many people who are not die-hard fans of an idol, and they just buy records for good songs.
This kind of person is the simplest, and Lang Lang and Ah Sam's records are all bought.
Because of the different composition of the two fan groups, it is difficult to say who sold more records.
Many media have also paid great attention to the competition between two very popular and powerful new and old singers in Hong Kong.
Oriental Daily, which has long been the top newspaper seller in Hong Kong, wrote an article titled "Rising Superstar".
"Today is the day when the veteran king of the music industry, Ah Sam, and the new idol Lang Lang jointly release the record, the competition between these two new and old singers has attracted the attention of countless people, and which of the two has better sales, which makes people full of curiosity.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm more optimistic about the new idol Lang Lang.
Although Sam has been famous for a long time and has outstanding strength, the competition in the music industry is becoming more and more fierce.
Chen Lang, a cutting-edge singer, has both talent and appearance, amazing dancing skills, and has a strong appeal among the newly growing young generation.
The entertainment industry is a place where generations change extremely frequently, and the rise of new idols means the decline of the older generation of stars.
Although Lang Lang only released one album, the first album achieved five platinum sales in Hong Kong, and the cumulative sales outside Hong Kong were close to 2 million.
The speed and momentum of Chen Lang's rise is amazing, and his battlefield is not only in Hong Kong, but in the whole of Asia! ”
"Sing Tao Daily", which held the opposite view of "Oriental Daily", published an article "Ginger is still old and spicy".
"The Hong Kong music scene is becoming more and more prosperous, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. The competition between the older generation of superstars and the new generation of idols in the music industry is very interesting.
Today is the day when Ah Sam and Lang Lang release records at the same time, and people are full of expectations for who of the two can laugh at the end.
Throughout Lang Lang's debut, it can be described as smooth sailing.
Although he has experienced the 'puppy love incident' and the 'illegitimate child incident', he has written four classic novels, and his first record "Lang Lang Qiankun" has also achieved amazing results.
However, it is worth noting that Lang Lang's success in both fiction and records was achieved without competitors.
Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong have already closed their pens, although Gu Long is still writing martial arts, but he has been plagued by illness recently and is difficult to continue, which has caused Chen Lang to be beautiful for a while.
But in fact, Wen Rui'an's martial arts and Ni Kuang's science fiction novels are still strong, and they have not made Chen Lang's family dominant.
The same is true for the release of Lang Lang's first record, the release time of the records of the kings and queens is staggered, and there are no decent opponents to compete with.
Alan Tam, the only one who competed with him, has been performing poorly since he flew solo, so the five platinum sales of "Lang Lang Qiankun" have a lot of water.
On the other hand, Sam has been famous for a long time and has proven his strength with countless classic songs.
And Ah Sam is really in fierce competition with the kings and queens of the music world to achieve today's results, and this achievement and recognition do not contain any water.
At the same time, Ah Sam is also a box office guarantee, and many of the movies he starred in have been box office hits, especially the "Best Partner" series of movies, which have repeatedly broken Hong Kong box office records.
On one side is a battle-hardened powerful king, and on the other hand, there is a new idol star who has never been on the battlefield, and I really can't think of a reason why Sam will lose. ”
Unlike these two unambiguous supporters of Ah Sam or Chen Lang, Ming Pao's view of this competition is that "when you meet an opponent in chess, you will not know the outcome of the game".
"Today is a good day for many fans who love music, because both superstar Ah Sam and talented Lang Lang have chosen today as the day of the release of their latest album.
One is the king who has been galloping in the music scene for many years, singing Cantonese to the point of entering the house, and is popular all over Hong Kong.
One is an idol who has been fledgling for two years, blooming his brilliant talent and becoming popular in Hong Kong.
This face-to-face competition can be described as a chess opponent who will meet a good talent.
Both sides have both strength and popularity, and the outcome is unpredictable.
However, Ah Sam has always been Chen Lang's favorite singer and Chen Lang's idol, and Ah Sam has always praised Chen Lang, saying that having fans like Chen Lang is his greatest pride.
The relationship between the two is very close, and they are also teachers and friends, I believe that this is just a gentleman's dispute, and the two in life are still intimate. ”
The media throughout Hong Kong has paid great attention to this unexpected battle between old and new singers, which has made the already tense atmosphere full of gunpowder, which may be exactly what the major media want.
