Chapter 452: The New Triumph Fights for Supremacy

Alan Tam's sixth Cantonese album "Foggy Love" caused a shock in the entire Hong Kong music scene as soon as it was released.

Whether it is record sales, radio on-demand rates, or the word-of-mouth of records, they have been unanimously affirmed by all music critics and fans.

Of course, industry insiders are more interested in the unique interpretation of Alan Tam in this record, and the affectionate and slightly vicissitudes of singing make Alan Tam's singing voice highly recognizable, and it is also fresh in people's memories.

Through this record, many musicians also know that Alan Tam has really found his own unique and charming way of singing.

Since the disbandment of the Wenner band, Alan Tam's singing career has fallen into a trough all of a sudden, except for the occasional flash of "Can't Forget You", the other records have not been successful, until "Belated Spring" made everyone start to pay attention to the former Wenner band lead singer again, but no one expected that the next "Fog Love" would achieve such amazing results.

All industry insiders have a vague hunch that Alan Tam will soar after finding a song that really suits his type of songs and a unique way of singing, as long as Alan Tam's next two records can maintain the level of "Foggy Love", then Alan Tam is likely to become the second superstar in the new generation of singers, and considering the strong strength of Polygram Records, this seems to be a sure thing.

The popular performance of "Fog Love" completely exceeded PolyGram's expectations, and this result made Polygram ecstatic, and Polygram's senior executives were also very satisfied, and they felt very comfortable with their move to package Alan Tam as the company's first brother.

At the same time, after knowing the music path that is really suitable for Alan Tam, PolyGram is also full of ambition and has found the right way, coupled with PolyGram's strong strength and influence, it is not difficult to launch a new generation of music superstars, and at this time, PolyGram's production department has begun to consider preparing a record of the same style for Alan Tam again.

When PolyGram was considering preparing a new record for Alan Tam, the fourth-week sales of "Fog Love" had already been released, with 19,854 copies.

The sales of "Fog Love" officially exceeded 250,000 copies, reaching 270,000 sales, which was certified as five platinum and exceeded the highest sales of Alan Tam's album released after his solo flight, and at the same time it was one step closer to the highest selling six platinum during the Wenner band's period.

At this time, it is only the fourth week of the release of "Foggy Love", and there is still more than a month to go, although the sales are not the same, but the sales of 30,000 copies are definitely not a problem, and then "Foggy Love" is likely to reach six platinum, becoming the highest-selling of all the records released by Alan Tam.

At the same time, with the popular performance of "Fog Love", Alan Tam's status in the music industry will be greatly improved, and with the full cooperation of Polygram Records, Alan Tam can become second only to Chen Lang in the new generation of singers.

After getting the sales statistics of the fourth week of "Foggy Love", Polygram immediately began to increase the promotion of Alan Tam.

With the company's strong strength, Alan Tam has been a guest on two TV stations and radio stations one after another, and has participated in a lot of commercial activities and endorsements, and the top selling newspapers have also published music reviews about "Fog Love" and touted this record, of course, Alan Tam was once again raised to the same position as Chen Lang, this time even Chen Baiqiang was omitted.

The non-stop attendance at events and front-page headline reports have made Alan Tam the most exposed artist in Hong Kong at the moment, and it has also left an impression in the hearts of everyone in Hong Kong.

At the same time as Alan Tam's crazy running activities, PolyGram also began to prepare Alan Tam's next record, striving to release it as soon as possible, hoping to take advantage of the trend of "Fog Love" to attack again and send Alan Tam to the throne of a superstar in the music industry in one fell swoop, and it is best to compete with Chen Lang.

When the Hong Kong music scene was very lively because of "Foggy Love", Chen Lang's fifth personal record had also been recorded to the end.

"How much love can be repeated, how many people are willing to wait, when they know how to cherish it, they will return later, but I don't know if that love will still be there, how much love can be repeated, how many people are worth waiting for, when love has been sangtian, whether there is still the courage to love"

As Chen Lang's low tail dissipated into the air, Gu Jiahui nodded with satisfaction and gave two thumbs up to Chen Lang who opened his eyes.

Chen Lang saw Gu Jiahui's movements and walked out of the recording studio with a smile, "Teacher Gu, the effect is okay, right?" ”

"It's very good, the breath is very stable, and the integration of feelings is also very good, even if you want to find faults, there is nowhere to find faults." Gu Jiahui said with satisfaction.

"So the recording is done?" Chen Lang asked happily.

Although he devoted himself to the recording of the record, Chen Lang knew that the music scene at this time was restless because of a "Foggy Love", the charm of Lun-style love songs had swept across the Xiangjiang, and the imaginary enemy he had always been was rising and rising rapidly, and it would be false to say that he was not in a hurry, because Chen Lang did not have the confidence to win the music myth of his previous life.

Therefore, when Alan Tam is rising, it is necessary for Chen Lang to show the strength and influence of his music superstar, and be fully prepared to face Alan Tam's crazy impact.

"Yes, it took me more than a month to record this rock album, and if it wasn't for my unfamiliarity, I might have done it a little faster, but now it's finally done." Gu Jiahui was quite touched, after all, it was his first time to make a rock album, so it was inevitable to be cautious.

"Without your severity, there wouldn't be this perfect record." Chen Lang patted his ass.

"I have full confidence in the quality of the songs, your singing skills, the soundtrack and the level of production of this record, but rock has never been the mainstream of the Hong Kong music scene, and I am really not too sure how the critics and fans will react." Gu Jiahui frowned and said.

In reality, it often happens that a song that is recognized as a classic is good, but when it is released, the record sales are not as good as a popular saliva song; A good movie that can score 9 points is often crushed by a commercial film that can only score 6 points.

In fact, the reason is very simple, aside from factors such as luck, the most important thing is the issue of popularity. Pop culture doesn't require too much thought, and sometimes being too thoughtful can affect the popularity of a work.

However, Chen Lang is very confident in his current influence, and with these classic songs, even if they are not the mainstream of the music world, I believe that they can still be recognized by everyone.

"Okay, that's not to mention, I still have to do post-production, and I have to get the record done before the pre-order date." After Gu Jiahui finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled that Chen Lang could leave.

Soon, when "Love in the Fog" still occupied everyone's attention, and Polygram was still crazy about building momentum for Alan Tam, Huaxing Records announced that the new singer Chen Lang's fifth album will be officially released on April 20.

This is the first record released by Chen Lang after he was crowned the king of the music world, which instantly attracted the attention of all the media, and the headlines on the front pages of major entertainment newspapers were also replaced with this news.

Countless people have to sigh that Chen Lang's influence has been qualitatively improved again after becoming the king of the music world, it can really be said that as soon as the king comes out, who will compete!

However, Polygram's influence should not be underestimated, and soon many media appeared again in the comparative analysis of Chen Lang and Alan Tam, and many media shouted the "King of Heaven Curse".

There is such a phenomenon in the entertainment industry, after an artist wins the affirmation of the award, he will suddenly fall into a trough, just like many people will hesitate to choose their works after winning the Oscar.

After winning the award, the salary and influence are growing, whether to choose a commercial film to get a high salary or choose a literary film to continue to prove their acting skills, has become a complex choice question, many people wander between the two, undecided, resulting in unclear positioning, often misplaced, or directly rest and do not make movies, thus falling into a trough, as for the length of the trough time depends entirely on the artist's own choice.

Therefore, some media began to report that Chen Lang is likely to encounter the first Waterloo, and Alan Tam is likely to use the momentum of "Fog Love" to challenge Chen Lang's status as the first person of the new generation.

For a time, media reports about Alan Tam challenging Chen Lang's throne emerged one after another, and Polygram's influence was really not to be underestimated.

Just when the media was buzzing, Warner suddenly announced that the melancholy prince Chen Baiqiang was also about to release his latest record.

Obviously, I was a little anxious to see Polygram building momentum for Alan Tam and directly challenging Chen Lang to compete for the position of the first person in the new generation, you must know that Chen Baiqiang has always been tied with Chen Lang, this is a rhythm that does not take Chen Baiqiang and Warner in the eyes at all, Warner, as one of the international giant record companies, naturally cannot show weakness.

So Warner Records pulled Chen Baiqiang, who was still in a concert, directly to the studio to record a new record, ready to release the film, and suppressed Alan Tam's crazy momentum.

In an instant, the media exploded again.

In the past January, the competition between Xu Guanjie, Chen Lang and Chen Baiqiang's most popular male singer attracted the attention of the entire music world.

Originally, everyone thought that Chen Lang might dominate the Hong Kong music scene with his super creative ability and unparalleled influence among young people, coupled with his status as the first superstar of the new generation of singers.

It's just that I didn't expect Alan Tam, who had not been too prominent before, to suddenly rise strongly, catch up with Chen Baiqiang, and even have the momentum to challenge Chen Lang under the huge influence of Polygram.

And Chen Baiqiang, who has always been ranked alongside Chen Lang, is also not to be outdone, with the support of Warner, one of the international giant record companies, he also made his own voice, to prove his strength and influence, and while competing with Alan Tam, he also has the idea of challenging Chen Lang.

Chen Lang, Chen Baiqiang and Alan Tam are still very good teammates, and now Chen Baiqiang and Alan Tam are competing with each other, and they all want to challenge Chen Lang's status as the king of the music world.
