Chapter 459: Troubles

"In everyone's eagerly anticipation, the new issue of the Hong Kong album list has met with you again, this week's list has not changed much compared with last week, "Lang Smoke Billowing" still continues its strength, "Fog Love" is also continuing its own legend, okay, let's take a look at the specific situation of the list.

The first place on the list is still "Lang Smoke Rolling" from Chen Lang, which sold 41,053 copies this week, was released for three weeks, and sold 312501 copies cumulatively.

At the same time, so far, the sales of the five albums released by Chen Lang have exceeded six platinum, and the strong market appeal of the little talent is shocking, worthy of the title of the king of the new generation of Hong Kong music scene, according to Chen Lang's current development trend in the music industry, I am afraid that it will not be long before he becomes the first person in the Hong Kong music scene.

……

Ranking tenth on the list is the surprising performance of "Foggy Love", which sold 3,516 copies this week, released for nine weeks, and sold 292186 copies cumulatively.

……”

Chen Lang's "Smoke Rolling" has been released for three weeks, and sales in the third week have dropped by 545% compared to the previous week, and the decline continues to widen while the record reaches six platinum certification.

Rock songs began to circulate among Hong Kong fans, but the market did not react much, perhaps "Lang Smoke Rolling" made Hong Kong people have more understanding and change their views on rock, but it did not inspire everyone to buy the record**.

At the same time, in the new issue of the radio on-demand list, the performance of "Lang Smoke Billowing" has also decreased.

In the Chinese song ring array of commercial radio stations favored by young people, "Lang Smoke Billowing" is still strong, and the seven songs on the list last week still occupy seven positions on the list, obviously young people's love for Chen Lang has made the Chinese song competition array Chen Lang's home field.

In contrast, the performance of "Lang Smoke Billowing" on RTHK's Chinese song list has slipped slightly, and among the four songs on the list last week, "Blooming Life" fell out of the top ten, leaving only "Glorious Years", "Red Sun" and "How Much Love Can Come Again" on the list this week.

The performance of the third week of "Smoke Rolling" once again made the media newspapers that were not optimistic about this record ecstatic, and the fact that rock music was not accepted by everyone may as well prove that his previous reporting can be described as unique.

Obviously, these people directly ignored the amazing results of "Lang Smoke Rolling" in three weeks to achieve six platinum sales, just to belittle it for the sake of belittling, Chen Lang just shook his head when he saw these reports and was not angry, but was a little worried.

When Chen Lang was first reborn in Hong Kong, including the past two years, the relationship between the media and celebrities was relatively harmonious, and the two were interdependent, each taking what he needed, and the cooperation was relatively pleasant.

Of course, it is indispensable to rely on exposing celebrities to win attention, and the "Oriental Daily", which cooperated happily with Chen Lang, started with this, but the media still retains the bottom line.

However, after Hong Kong's economic recovery and development are getting faster and faster, in Hong Kong's golden yuan society, the emphasis is on the pursuit of wealth, and in small Hong Kong, there are now more than 50 newspapers, and the competition is very fierce.

The first thing that these unscrupulous newspaper media think of in order to attract readers is to gain profit by exposing the private lives and even scandals of Ming and celebrities.

The reason why "Next Magazine" is the most typical is because this newspaper once dared to break the news that the Li family "killed" after the death of the wife of Li Ka-shing, the richest man in Hong Kong, because there was an emotional problem between the two and they wanted to divorce, and the Li family started in order to avoid paying an amazing breakup fee.

At that time, after this report came out, it shocked the whole of Hong Kong, attracted the attention of the whole Hong Kong, and attracted all the citizens to discuss, and the gossip of celebrities and huge riches was naturally the talk of everyone before and after dinner, and "Next Magazine" was naturally selling well, but everyone estimated that "Entertainment Weekly" was going to be unlucky.

Because in Hong Kong's gold-dollar society, the rich have great influence over the government, so everyone thought that Next Magazine would definitely be shut down soon, but the end result was that Next Magazine was safe and sound, which shocked everyone.

As a result, everyone knows that "Next Magazine" must have someone on it, and in the end, it was over, but it made the major media newspapers see the way to stimulate sales, so there were crazy paparazzi in Hong Kong, and many newspapers with good sales also began to frantically look for scandals of celebrities and celebrities, not to mention those tabloids.

In the end, it evolved to the point of fabricating fake news and scandals to discredit stars, and many stars were harassed, but many people can only endure in the face of the uncrowned king, and even if they react violently, they rarely get an apology, but it may be endless entanglement, which has too much impact on stars, and they may be rejected by countless crews, so the stars are overwhelmed.

Among them, the most serious soft violence by the media is the melancholy prince Chen Baiqiang, because of his introverted character, he retreated again and again in the face of media smearing, and thought that he would calm down if he ignored these reports, but the media had to make inches and fabricate more black news to win attention, and many female stars who were friendly with Chen Baiqiang were implicated, so that many people chose to keep a certain distance from Chen Baiqiang.

Chen Lang could only shake his head helplessly when he thought of this, the paparazzi have been absent for a long time, and the future may not be as good as it is now, of course, he is more worried about Chen Baiqiang, his personality is indeed too introverted.

In the next few weeks, the sales of "Rolling Smoke" fell significantly, basically exceeding 50%, but after two months, the sales of "Rolling Smoke" still exceeded 350,000 copies, reaching seven platinum sales.

Hua Xing and Chen Lang were quite satisfied with this result, Hua Xing was originally a little worried about Chen Lang's rock record, but after the results came out in the first week, he was relieved, just waiting to collect the money, and Chen Lang relied on this album to stabilize his status as the king of the music world, and did not fall into a trough after entering the first peak.

At the same time, the end of this record also marks the end of the partnership between Chen Lang and Huaxing Records, just waiting for the contract to expire in August and officially end the contract between the two parties.

Huaxing also knew that this was the last time Chen Lang released a record in the name of Huaxing, so he was already busy with the overseas release of "Lang Smoke Rolling" at this time, but although Huaxing's overseas release had been prepared for a long time, the distribution capacity was still insufficient, so he chose to cooperate with Haishan Rolling Stone Records.

At the same time, Huaxing is producing the record of the same name "Monica" written by Chen Lang for Leslie Cheung, because of the outstanding performance of Leslie Cheung's last record "The Wind Continues to Blow", so after Chen Lang left, Huaxing had to face the choice of re-selecting the company's first brother.

Although Huaxing has signed the veteran king Luo Wen at this time, the current Hong Kong music scene has ushered in the world of the new generation, and only one of the male singers selected by the rookie singing contest is Lu Fang, who is currently developing quite smoothly, but it is completely incomparable with other new generation male singers, not to mention Chen Lang, Chen Baiqiang and Alan Tam, who came later, even Cai Fenghua and others are far behind.

Therefore, Huaxing can only choose Leslie Cheung to cultivate, hoping that Leslie Cheung can make persistent efforts and reach the point of Chen Lang, at this time, Huaxing may never think of Leslie Cheung's future height.

In the later stages of the record's release, Chen Shufen found Chen Lang.

"Lang Lang, your cooperation with Huaxing has ended early." Chen Shufen looked at Chen Lang and said with some emotion, because Chen Shufen herself was about to leave the Huaxing Records created by herself and her husband.

"Yes, I'm going to invest in the co-ordination of my own record company next, but it's okay, Sister Chen, you can help me." Chen Lang also sighed and nodded.

"Don't worry, I've been preparing for a long time, and now I want to talk to you about the company's behind-the-scenes production arrangements, whether it is directly transferred from Taiwan to Hong Kong, or is it the company's own recruitment?" Chen Shufen calmed down, returned to normalcy and asked.

"Sister Chen, what is your opinion?" Chen Lang humbly asked.

"If you transfer people from Taiwan, it is not impossible, but the company must have local music creators and producers in Hong Kong, although Taiwan and Hong Kong are close, but one is Chinese and the other is Cantonese, the difference is still very large, so we must have musicians who are familiar with Cantonese creation." Chen Shufen analyzed.

"In that case, let's recruit some musicians in Hong Kong." Chen Lang nodded.

"In addition to recruiting music creators, we also need to have good relationships with copyright companies and well-known creators, so we need a lot of money." Chen Shufen looked at Chen Lang with an expression that you understand.

"This is no problem, let's settle the account from LL Film Company first, and it will be August soon, do you have any suggestions for the opening of the company?" Chen Lang asked.

"When the time comes, we must hold a grand opening ceremony, invite all the reporters, let everyone know about the establishment of the record company, plus you and Xu Guanjie and Zhen Ni joined, it will definitely be able to detonate the entire Hong Kong music scene, after attracting huge attention, it will be up to Lang Lang you, you must provide a few classic songs." Chen Shufen said with a smile.

"No problem, I'm sure to get the job done." Chen Lang nodded easily.

"Then I'll go recruit first." Chen Shufen was very happy to see Chen Lang's self-confidence, Chen Lang is the core of the company, not only because he is the boss, but also because his creative ability will be an important boost to the company's prosperity.
