Chapter 271: Turning Point
Chen Lang calmed down his somewhat excited mood a little and picked up the second newspaper.
The headline of "Sing Tao Daily" is the same as before March, that is, before Chen Lang and Xu Guanjie officially released the record - "Jiang is still old and spicy!! 》
"Long before Sam and Lang Lang released the record, I said that the competition between the two of them, who are also teachers and friends, would end with Sam's victory, and sure enough, now "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" has sold more than "Catchy".
Chen Lang's influence among young people is indeed unparalleled, which has basically been unanimously recognized by everyone.
But as I have long said, having a high popularity among teenagers can bring a short-term but explosive increase in the sales of Chen Lang's records, and Chen Lang's sales in the first week set a record for Hong Kong record sales.
But Chen Lang is young after all, and he has been famous for a short time, and his qualifications are shallow, and he has not yet been able to gain the recognition of the main consumer groups in Hong Kong society, so Chen Lang's sales will have a weak follow-up.
In contrast, Ah Sam has deep qualifications and has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has won the recognition of almost all groups in Hong Kong, and is recognized as a superstar in the Hong Kong music scene.
His record life is unmatched, not to mention that Sam is also a star in the film industry, and the movies he starred in can bring him huge influence and greatly benefit his record sales.
Comparing the two, it can be concluded that Chen Lang can have an advantage in the early stage, but as time goes by, Ah Sam will definitely catch up and eventually surpass Chen Lang by a considerable distance.
This so-called battle between the old and the new, in fact, the answer has been revealed as early as the beginning, Ah Sam's victory is deserved, and Lang Lang is in the music world, if he wants to become a real music superstar, there is undoubtedly a long way to go. ”
Chen Lang was a little depressed after reading "Sing Tao Daily".
Because Chen Lang found that every report about himself in "Sing Tao Daily" seemed to be negative, just like when "Oriental Daily" reported on himself, it was all positive.
Ming Pao is more principled and impartial in everything, and it seems that the competition between Hong Kong's three largest newspapers by sales is also fierce.
Chen's father and mother had actually read these newspapers when Chen Lang went out to exercise, so when Chen Lang read the newspapers, they all paid attention to their son's expression intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing Chen Lang's depressed face, Chen's mother immediately opened her mouth, "Lang Lang, don't care what the newspaper says, isn't it just a temporary exceedance, it's not a big deal, besides, who knows the final result before the end of April, you still have a chance to surpass it again." ”
Father Chen also nodded, "It's not the last moment yet, and it's hard to say whether you'll win or lose." ”
However, he may also feel that Chen Lang has no hope of turning the tables, and added, "Even if you lose, it's nothing, Ah Sam is an old emperor superstar after all, and it is normal to lose to him, and your second record can sell six platinum sales, which is already a huge success, don't force more." ”
Chen Lang saw his parents who were more anxious than himself, and smiled, "Well, I'm already very satisfied with the sales of six platinums, and at the same time, the time to be able to suppress my idol singer Ah Sam for four weeks is enough to make me proud, and just like my mother said, April is not over yet, everything is possible." ”
Chen's father and Chen's mother saw that the relaxed expression on Chen Lang's face did not seem to be fake, so they let go of the worries in their hearts and went to work.
Chen Lang put away the newspaper, bowed his head and ate breakfast quickly, and then went to school with his sister.
Whether it is his own "guard" or the school's alumni, the classmates in the class know about Chen Lang's record sales being reversed by Ah Sam.
Therefore, today everyone is no longer as noisy as before, but came to Chen Lang's side quietly to comfort and encourage Chen Lang, Chen Lang felt as if the atmosphere around him was about to freeze.
"Lang Lang, there is still time, it's still early to win or lose!"
"Lang Lang, you are already great!"
"No matter what, Lang Lang, you will always be my idol"
……
Chen Lang saw everyone's caring and comforting eyes, and his heart warmed, he actually had no psychological baggage for a long time, so he heartily talked and laughed with everyone, "Don't worry, everyone!" I'm fine, and it's still early, whoever has the last laugh will have the best laugh! ”
Everyone saw that Chen Lang didn't seem to be hit by this "setback", and they were all relieved, and then Chen Lang felt that the atmosphere around him suddenly became lively, and everyone became talking and laughing, full of young people's vitality.
At noon, when Chen Lang and Tang Xiaomei were together, Tang Xiaomei inevitably comforted Chen Lang again, but the way of comfort was different, and in the end, both of them were red-faced and short-breathed.
When he returned home in the evening, Chen Lang found that the singing of Alan Tam's record "Lover and Goddess" came from home, which should have been brought back by Chen's father from Lang Lang's store.
This was asked by Chen Lang to be brought by Chen's father, and he wanted to hear how the quality of this record was.
Chen Lang sat on the sofa and listened to all the songs of this kind of record seriously, feeling that the quality of the songs was average, of course, Chen Lang had some impressions of classics, so this record that was not too high quality could not get Chen Lang's "good" evaluation.
After listening to the song, Chen Lang called Alan Tam directly.
"Aaron, congratulations, you won the first Hong Kong album chart championship." Chen Lang's voice was full of banter.
The relationship between the two is very good now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers, Alan Tam said that Chen Lang and him are like him and Chen Baixiang, and what is the relationship between Chen Baixiang and Alan Tam?
Alan Tam's wife jokingly called Chen Baixiang Alan Tam's second wife, of course, this is a brotherhood that has not crossed the line, a pair of good friends.
"Hehe, you still won the championship first, and there is more than one." Alan Tam would definitely have fun with Chen Lang in the past, but being able to win this championship really made him ecstatic, so he didn't care about Chen Lang's banter.
"Now we're tied again, we've both won the weekly championship. But to be honest, the quality of your record is not very good, otherwise the sales in the first week would not have been less than 100,000. Chen Lang's tone became serious.
"I also know that I'm too busy making movies and this record can only be considered a suitable work, but I'm already cutting back on my film performances and I'm ready to devote most of my energy to singing."
"That's good, the two of us are going to dominate the Hong Kong music scene in the future, you can't fall behind first, then I will be very lonely if I have no opponent." Chen Lang had an incomprehensible smile on his face.
"Haha, of course, how could I lose to you, you just wait. And this time the competition between you and Ah Sam, although I lost, but I have to admit that you are better than me now, but I will not admit defeat, I will definitely catch up, and then it will be time for us to compete. ”
"Very well, I'll wait for you." After speaking, Chen Lang hung up the phone.
But the phone that had just been put down rang again.
"Hey, is it Lang Lang? I'll tell you the good news, the sales of "Lang Lang Catchy" have actually shown a trend of recovery, and according to preliminary investigations, it seems that many adults have started to buy your record. ”
