Chapter 231: The First Round

The attention paid by major newspapers to the dispute between Sam and Chan Lang for record sales has successfully attracted the attention of the general public in Hong Kong.

Everyone was full of curiosity about the competition between the two of them, who were also teachers and friends.

After seeing the success of attracting everyone's attention, the major media have sent reporters to squat in the major music stores to inquire about the news, and strive to get the news as soon as possible.

The two major TV stations also sent special reporters to the scene of the major Lexing and Lang Lang Qiankun stores for the sake of ratings, and broadcast this war without gunpowder live.

"Hello to the audience in front of the TV, I am now in front of the main store of Lang Lang Qiankun in Tsim Sha Tsui, and you can see that even at 12 o'clock now, there is still a long queue in front of the Lang Lang Qiankun store.

This super long line has been around since the store opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, and now four hours have passed, and the line is still not in sight, and the fans are crazy about the support for their idols, and we haven't seen such a scene for a long time. ”

The special correspondent of TVB looked at the long queue in front of him and sighed.

"Let's interview a few fans who are still in line to see what they think." As he spoke, the reporter walked towards the front of the store, preparing to interview a male fan who was standing outside the store.

"Hello classmate, when did you start queuing here?" The reporter asked as he handed over the microphone.

As a result, the fan ran in directly, and it turned out that Lang Lang Qiankun found that there were still too many people in line, so he specially added two more sales points.

The male fan ignored the microphone that reached out to his mouth, and went directly to seize the powerful terrain.

The female reporter holding out the microphone said with some embarrassment, "It seems that this fan can't wait to get the idol's record." ”

The reporter walked a few more steps and came to the middle of the group that had quieted down again, and asked the same question to a female classmate who looked quiet and cute.

"I have been coming to Lang Lang Qiankun since seven o'clock in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be a mistake, at that time there were already two streets in front of me, and it has been four hours now, and I still haven't entered the Lang Lang Qiankun store, there are too many people." The girl pouted with a helpless face.

The female reporter was also secretly stunned when she heard this answer, these fans are so crazy, they won't come to the door at four or five o'clock and wait.

And the subsequent interviews with several viewers did confirm the reporter's thoughts, and many people came here before dawn to wait.

Later, the female reporter also met a few super fans and shouted at the camera, "Lang Lang is the best!" Lang Lang, I love you. ”

In the end, all the fans shouted to the camera, "Lang Lang is the best, we will always support you!" ”

The loud shouts could be heard from a few streets away, and the female reporter even covered her ears to block the sonic attack.

The audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV was also stunned by the madness of many fans.

In comparison, Ah Sam's fans seem to be more rational, there is no loud shout, but the support and enthusiasm for idols are definitely not inferior to Chen Lang's fans.

Now people in Hong Kong who love music or love to watch lively are paying attention to the results of this competition.

Everyone wants to know who has the upper hand temporarily, and there are three lists that are more concerned.

The first is the "Hong Kong Album Chart" list launched by the Hong Kong Branch of the International Phonographic Association, the organizer of the Golden Disc Awards ceremony, because the only basis for the Golden Disc Awards ceremony is record sales.

Its record sales are counted by the auditors of Kwun Tong 'Hon Fung Records', Causeway Bay 'Federation Records', Yau Ma Tei's 'Wing Fat Records', Sham Shui Port 'Tokyu Records', Mong Kok's 'Beat Records' and 'Belle Records' records reported by the six major record companies in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

The calculated figures are very rigorous, have strong credibility, and are also respected as industry authorities.

The "Hong Kong Album Chart" is a weekly ranking that reflects the trend of record sales and is published in major music magazines.

The second is the "Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger List" launched by Radio Television Hong Kong, the organizer of the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, which is also announced once a week, and the ranking is based on the number of songs on the radio.

The third is the "Commercial Radio Chinese Song Competition Array" launched by Hong Kong Commercial Radio, which selects the top 10 songs of the week according to the weekly on-demand rate of songs on the radio.

These three lists are considered to be the authoritative lists that the industry and the majority of citizens who pay attention to music, and they are also the three major music awards ceremonies that all singers in Hong Kong value very much at this stage.

However, all three lists are released once a week, which is really torturous for those who want to know the first-day sales urgently.

Fortunately, all major record companies have enough contacts and channels to get specific single-day sales, so companies and singers generally know the specific sales of their records earlier than the average person.

As night falls, the Pearl of the Orient is still brightly lit, and fans can be seen buying records in major music stores.

At this time, Polygram and Huaxing Records were nervously calculating the data, and at the same time, the six major records of Hong Kong and Kowloon were also calculating all the record sales on this day.

And Xu Guanjie and Chen Lang, who were anxious to know the sales on the first day, were nervously waiting at home at this time, a little restless and kept walking back and forth.

The family members of the two people who watched it were dizzy, but everyone also understood the mood of the two at this time, so they didn't say anything, just accompanied the two and waited for the final result.

Although Sam and Chen Lang have a good relationship, neither of them wants to lose this competition.

Sam is here to prove that he is still the superstar with a huge charisma.

Chen Lang wants to prove that he has the strength and market appeal to challenge, even defeat the older generation of superstars, and get one step closer to ascending to the supreme throne of the Hong Kong music scene.

In the midst of the hectic busyness of the two of them and the record company and the record dismantling, the time came to twelve o'clock.

Hearing the bell at twelve o'clock in the morning, Sam and Chen Lang came to the telephone as soon as possible, waiting for a call from their respective companies.

Ah Sam and Chen Lang only felt that the time at the moment was so long, and they deeply experienced the feeling of living like a year, looking at the quiet phone, beads of sweat oozed from their heads.

Suddenly, the sound of "beeping bells" startled the two of them, and after a deep breath, the two picked up the phone at the same time.

"Hey, is it Sister Chen? Has the specific sales data on the first day of the record been released? Chen Lang asked a little nervously, licking his somewhat dry lips with his tongue.

"I have checked with the six major demolitionists, and I have obtained accurate and specific first-day sales of "Catchy". Chen Shufen's tone was very calm, so that Chen Lang couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"So what is the first-day sales of "Lang Lang Qiankun"?" Chen Lang was a little apprehensive because of Chen Shufen's calm tone.

"Chen Lang, you have to be ready, after hearing the sales data, don't be too emotionally fluctuating, okay?" Chen Shufen said suddenly.

Chen Lang's heart was cold when he heard this, his mouth trembled for a moment, and then he mumbled indistinctly, and he couldn't speak anymore.

"Lang Lang, listen up. The first day sales of your second album "Catchy" were ......," Chen Shufen paused deliberately before saying loudly, "35,126 copies." ”

"How much?" Chen Lang seemed to be a little confused and nervous, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Hehe, that's right, it's 35,126 copies, and the sales on the first day exceeded the standard of gold records, and more than 5,000 copies more than the 30,066 copies sold on the first day of your last record "Lang Lang Qiankun".

I really didn't expect the results to be so good, Lang Lang, you are definitely a lucky star of our company. Chen Shufen couldn't contain her joy and laughed out loud.

At this time, many employees of Huaxing Records did not leave the company, but stayed in the company and waited for the first day of sales of Chen Lang's records.

They are all very concerned about Chen Lang's achievements, and it would be a bit false to say that they care about Chen Lang, but if Chen Lang's results are outstanding, it can be regarded as a report on everyone's hard work during this time.

Of course, what is more important is that there is a generous bonus, so everyone couldn't help but cheer after hearing Chen Shufen's words.

Chen Lang heard Chen Shufen's words, and then heard the cheers on the phone, and finally let go of the stone hanging in his heart.

Although I had expected that the results would be good, I could only be sure if I got a definite answer.

And this time the results are even better than the first record, Chen Lang's mouth is grinning happily behind his ears.

"Well, it didn't disappoint everyone, the fans are amazing." Chen Lang was stupid for a while, and then shouted happily.

"Awesome? Yes, your fans are really amazing. Chen Shufen smiled, "Don't be too happy yet, I have another good news to tell you." ”

"What's the good news?" Chen Lang was stunned when he heard this.

Could it be that Xu Guanjie's record sales are not as large as his own?

Did you win the first round temporarily?

Thinking of this, Chen Lang's heart was also beating faster and faster, and he was looking forward to it more and more.

"The other piece of good news is that in the competition for first-day sales, you win, and you win cleanly.

Although Sam's first-day sales also reached the gold record sales, it was only just 25,119 copies, a full 10,000 copies behind you, which is really a surprising result. Chen Shufen seemed to be a little emotional.

"So much worse?" Chen Lang was also very surprised by this result.

I thought it would be a battle of dragons and tigers, but I didn't expect that there would be so many gaps on the first day, could it be that this competition has just begun?

At this time, there were also Polygram and Xu Guanjie, no one expected that the sales on the first day would be so bad.

Sam frowned, and then said, "The result is very unexpected, but I will not give up, we will launch the promotion tomorrow, and the best laugh is the last laugh." ”
