Chapter 266: Unfinished Competition
The next day, Chen Lang still got up at six o'clock on time to exercise.
I met many people along the way, and I was pleasantly surprised to greet Chen Lang.
"Lang Lang is good!"
"Lang Lang is just beautiful, no wonder my little granddaughter likes it too!"
"Come on, Lang Lang, don't lose to Ah Sam!"
……
Obviously, there can be a big star in the community, which makes everyone feel honored, and they all have the capital to brag about when chatting.
When I came to the nearby park, I still practiced the movements of the family kung fu three times, and then began to hang my throat.
During the practice, the singing of "The Rainy Season at the Age of Seventeen" came from a nearby café, and Chen Lang was very happy to hear the singing, it seems that his classic began to circulate in Hong Kong a month after its release, and the final sales of this record are worth looking forward to.
After returning home, Chen Lang came to the dining table and began to eat, and at the same time couldn't wait to open the newspaper, wanting to see what exciting news had been in Hong Kong in the three weeks since he left.
""Best Partner" broke through the box office of 26 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new box office record in Hong Kong!"
""Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" continued the trend of the best partner, and sales rebounded! The battle between the old and the new has taken a turn for the better! ”
"Alan Tam's movie record of the same name "Lover, Goddess" was released, joining the record sales war!"
……
Chen Lang didn't expect that in the three weeks he had been gone, the battle between the old and the new was still continuing.
I thought that the gap of more than 6,000 copies was opened in the first two weeks, and then everyone's sales fell sharply, and the sales volume became less and less, and the sales of 6,000 copies should be a relatively safe distance, but I didn't expect that "Best Partner" would come to disrupt the situation at this time.
I believe many people have seen the movie "Best Partner", at least they should have heard of it, this is the ace masterpiece produced by Xinyicheng Film Company, which is now full of scenery in the Hong Kong film industry.
1982 was the first work in the "Best Partner" series, with a final box office of 26.04 million, breaking the box office record of Hong Kong films, and it was also the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong in 82.
The 1983 sequel "Best Partner 2 Shows Magical Powers" had a box office of 23.27 million, ranking second in the Hong Kong box office record.
In 1984, "Best Partner 3 Queen's Secret Order" directed by Tsui Hark had a box office of 29.28 million, breaking the Hong Kong box office record again.
In 1986, Mai Jia used the new director Lin Lingdong and led the original team to launch the sequel "Best Partner 4 Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman", which also had a good box office of more than 28 million.
In 1989, New Arts City launched the last "Best Partner 5 Terracotta Warriors", which was directed by Liu Jialiang, who regarded himself as a veteran of the Shaw Brothers. This best partner also uses two newcomers: Leslie Cheung and Li Zhi, Leslie Cheung is excited to work with his idol Xu Guanjie.
And Li Zhi married Jet Li soon after quitting the film industry to be her virtuous helper, and the last best partner was no longer strong at the box office, but it was not a fiasco, and more than 20 million ranked seventh that year.
The film that can be made into a series is definitely a film that was particularly loved by the audience at the time and achieved outstanding box office results, and the fact that the sequel was filmed in Hong Kong, which is extremely popular, shows the huge impact of the "Best Partner" series on Hong Kong film history and Hong Kong people.
Now "Best Partner" has broken the box office record of Hong Kong films, causing a great shock in the film industry.
Major media and newspapers have reported on this film, adding all kinds of praise to this movie, and also praising the golden age of Hong Kong films has arrived, and Hong Kong movies can definitely be called Oriental Hollywood.
Xinyicheng Film Company has made several high-grossing movies because of the highly talented seven-person team, and now it has directly broken the Hong Kong box office record, and for a while, Xinyicheng's momentum even surpassed that of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, two old film companies.
Since then, the Hong Kong film industry has also entered a period of triumph competition, and at the peak of the new art city, it even forced Zou Wenhuai and Shao Daheng, two big men who were in the same situation, to cooperate to resist its might.
At the same time, Polygram and Xu Guanjie are also happy.
Because Ah Sam, one of the leading actors in the movie, has soared in the exposure of this movie, and the major media have also added various praises to Ah Sam, "The Emperor of the Song World", "Film Superstar", "Almighty Idol", etc.
Affected by this, the sales of Xu Guanjie's album "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" did not decline but increased, although the increase was relatively low, but after more than three weeks of release, there was a momentum of upward sales curve.
On the contrary, Chen Lang's record sales have been declining, and the sales of both of them are declining, and the sales data are very close, which makes Chen Lang suppress Xu Guanjie with more than 6,000 copies sold in the first two weeks.
But now the sales of "Catchy" are still declining, and "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" has rebounded, and the sales data exceeds that of "Catchy", although the gap is not very much every day, but by the end of March, the gap between the two records has narrowed to 2000 copies, and the form is very unfavorable to Chen Lang.
"Catchy" and "Unforgettable, Paper Boat", which were released at the same time on March 1, sold 295642 and 293621 copies respectively throughout March, a difference of 2,021 copies, and both records are also about to receive 6 platinum certification.
Since it has been released for three weeks at the same time, Xu Xiaofeng's "New Songs and Selections" and Zhen Ni's "Wooden Man" have achieved sales of 193452 and 191578 respectively, and the two will also exceed 200,000 quadruple platinum certifications, and the difference is only 1,874 copies, which is not much different.
However, the sales of the two albums in the third week and the data that fell to less than 20,000 copies are far behind Chen Lang and Ah Sam, and it is almost impossible to surpass them.
At the end of March, the champion of the latest issue of the Hong Kong album list was "Breakthrough Selection" from the melancholy prince Chen Baiqiang.
The first week sold 123,450 copies, easily won the championship, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhen Ni won the championship and runner-up, Xu Guanjie surpassed Chen Lang to the palace position, Chen Lang only ranked fifth, and then Cai Fenghua, Luo Wen, Liana and Ou Ruiqiang ranked sixth to ninth, and the tenth place was a very unfamiliar name called Xu Mingyuan.
Seeing this list, Chen Lang frowned and thought a lot.
First of all, the melancholy prince Chen Baiqiang is worthy of being a superstar in the future Hong Kong music scene, with sales of 123452 in the first week, exceeding Xu Xiaofeng and Zhen Ni's 94395 and Zhen Ni's 92145 sales, although there is a gap with Chen Lang's 172498 and Xu Guanjie's 166819, but this does not mean that Chen Baiqiang is far inferior to the two.
You must know that the so-called dispute between Chen Lang and Xu Guanjie between the old and the new has been well known and has attracted the attention of countless people, and finally even attracted fans of the two to buy records frantically in order to support their idols, so there will be a terrifying result of more than three platinum sales in the first week.
If there is no crazy hype of this battle between the old and the new, maybe Chen Lang and Xu Guanjie's first-week sales will not be so much more than Chen Baiqiang, it can be said that this battle between the old and the new has made the record sales of the two promote each other, so there will be such crazy data.
It's just that benefiting from the hype of the battle between the old and the new that the whole of Hong Kong is concerned about, the record sales of Chen Lang and Xu Guanjie seem to be a bit high, but I am afraid that the record sales of several other singers who are also top singers cannot be exceeded at all, and it is even difficult to connect closely.
Therefore, this year's record sales are likely to be between "Catchy" and "Unforgettable, Paper Boat".
At the same time, it can be seen from the weekly champions of the Hong Kong Album Chart that the Hong Kong music scene is really competing for hegemony, and no one can dominate the scene.
Because in this fiercely competitive March, the weekly champions of the four weeks came from Chen Lang, Xu Xiaofeng, Xu Xiaofeng and Chen Baiqiang.
Chen Lang and Chen Baiqiang only won one championship, although Xu Xiaofeng won two championships, but that was because Chen Baiqiang released the record in the fourth week of March, if it was advanced, I am afraid it would be difficult for Xu Xiaofeng to achieve two consecutive championships.
In other words, none of the current Hong Kong singers has overwhelming strength and can withstand the impact of other top singers, and there are many consecutive championships.
Including the previous district Ruiqiang, Cai Fenghua, Liana and Luo Wen won the championship, only Xu Xiaofeng's schedule was lucky, with a slight advantage overwhelmed Zhen Ni and won two weekly championships.
It's the first week of April yet, Alan Tam has officially released his album "Lover, Goddess", and Chen Baiqiang's weekly champion is afraid that it will soon change hands.
Now Hong Kong is monopolized by more than a dozen top singers, although there has been a trend of newcomers taking the top positions and the popularity of the older generation of singers declining, but now everyone's strength and market appeal are still relatively balanced, and no one can overwhelm all other competitors, monopolize the throne and dominate Hong Kong.
In the end, what gave Chen Lang a headache was that Xu Guanjie once again sounded the horn of counterattack with the huge influence of "Best Partner", and this counterattack was stronger and unexpected than the first time, and the effect was surprisingly good.
Now that the first week of April is not over, no one can say whether the sales of "Catchy" have surpassed that of "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat".
If "Catchy" can still suppress the sales of "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat", it is fine, but if it is overtaken, I am afraid that the Hong Kong media will report on the shocking reversal again.
Now Chen Lang is also very troubled, I thought that he had won the game, but he didn't expect "Best Partner" to come out to disrupt the situation, and the publicity and efforts that Chen Lang and Huaxing could do have been done.
Now Chen Lang still retains these hopes in his heart, that is, he hopes that those adults who like campus songs can buy their own records as a last stand.
The competition between the two was fierce in March, but April was the time when the final outcome was decided, and it was hard to say who would have the best laugh.
