Chapter 482: A Lively December

On December 3, officially entering the second week of December, LL Records released Xu Guanjie's latest album "I Like You the Most", at which time Alan Tam's "The Root of Love" has won six consecutive championships on the Hong Kong album chart.

LL Records released Xu Guanjie's latest record, which made Polygram thunderous, while other record companies gloated.

Although the record market is becoming more prosperous and more profitable, the number of record companies has also increased dramatically, and a small Hong Kong now has more than a dozen large-scale record labels, and there are countless record studios that are not in the limelight.

Among them, Polygram Records entered Hong Kong as early as 1970, and the parent company is one of the five major international record companies.

PolyGram Records has existed since the beginning of the formation of the Hong Kong pop music scene, and it can be said that it has developed with the development of Hong Kong pop music, and can be regarded as a witness to the history of Hong Kong pop music, and has developed and grown with it, and Polygram has been a dominant company in the Hong Kong music scene in the mid-to-late seventies.

After entering the 80s, the Hong Kong record market became more and more prosperous, the development of pop music became more and more rapid, and fans became more enthusiastic about the pursuit of singers.

Among them, local record companies are represented by Huaxing, and international record companies in addition to Polygram, Warner, CBS/Xinli, etc. have also joined the competition for the Hong Kong record market.

At this time, although Huaxing, Warner, CBS/Xinli and LL Records are among the first-class record companies, and the competition between them is also a sword, but everyone always has a Polygram on their heads, so they absolutely have a tacit understanding in the matter of encircling or sniping Polygram at the same time.

Even if LL Records was established, the competition for the Hong Kong record market is as fierce as the competition for the king of the music scene now.

Amid the gloating flamboyance of PolyGram and other record companies, a week passed in a flash, and the latest issue of the Hong Kong album chart was released again.

Many fans of Alan Tam and Xu Guanjie, as well as a number of record companies, can't wait to know the result.

"The second week of December has quietly passed, and the Hong Kong album list has been released again, and there are many highlights this week, among which two are the most eye-catching.

The first is whether "The Root of Love", which has won six consecutive championships on the list, can win the championship again in the seventh week, breaking the record of consecutive championships on the Hong Kong album chart, and another highlight is how the veteran king of the music industry Xu Guanjie performed in the first week after joining LL Records.

Let's take a closer look at the list.

The top of this week's Hong Kong album chart comes from Xu Guanjie's "I Like You the Most", which sold 98,210 copies this week, and was released for a week, with a cumulative sales of 98,210 copies.

Ah Sam's latest record directly landed on the top of the list, but unfortunately the first week sales were not able to exceed 100,000 copies, but this first week result is already the highest sales among the older generation of male singers except for Lin Zixiang, according to the first week sales estimate, the sales of the four platinums should not be a problem, and Ah Sam's strength and popularity are still not to be underestimated.

The runner-up position on this week's list belongs to "The Root of Love", which has been crowned six times in a row, with 10,521 copies sold this week, seven weeks of release, and a cumulative total of 335,120 copies, down one place from last week.

The seventh week of release of "The Root of Love" has reversed its sales this week, exceeding the sales of the sixth week, it seems that Alan Tam's fans have contributed a lot to help their idols win seven consecutive championships, but the gap between Xu Guanjie in the first week of release is still far behind, but the sales of more than 330,000 copies are already the highest sales of Alan Tam's records, and the seven platinum certifications are also close at hand.

……”

The latest issue of the Hong Kong album chart disappointed Alan Tam fans and Polygram Records, while other record companies celebrated.

For Chen Shufen, who joined LL Records, the biggest enemy now is Polygram, the leader of the Hong Kong record company, and Huaxing Records, which holds the rookie singing contest and is backed by wireless, as for other record companies, there is nothing to worry about.

Alan Tam, who can snipe Polygram, won seven consecutive championships, which is obviously just a small battle in this protracted battle, and the competition will be more fierce in the future.

Although Chen Lang studied hard in school, he still knew the news from the outside world, and when he saw the Hong Kong album list this time, he just smiled and shook his head, and then continued to start his studies.

Two days later, on December 12, at 8 p.m., Chen Lang attended the premiere of "Merry Christmas", the second work of the year by LL Films.

In addition to the film's leading actors Leslie Cheung, Chen Baiqiang, Li Lizhen, Xu Xiaofeng, Wang Jing, Honggu, To Qifeng, Andy Lau, etc. were all present, as well as many invited film critics and lucky audiences.

It was not the director Gao Zhisen who led the film this time, because he was shooting the film anonymously, so it was inconvenient for him to appear, and in the end, it was Xue Tianlan, who was the nominal producer, who presided over the premiere.

At this time, the main creators were still answering everyone's questions, but Andy Lau and Leung Jiahui found Chen Lang.

Seeing Liang Jiahui's dejected face, Chen Lang knew the purpose of the two of them, but at this time, Andy Lau and Liang Jiahui seemed to be a little difficult to speak, obviously feeling a little embarrassed to trouble Chen Lang all the time.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Chen Lang smiled and wanted to speak, "Andy, how are you doing?" ”

"I'm very good, the recent filming of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is almost over, and now I have two more plays and a movie, and I have a very fulfilling life." Andy Lau looked at Chen Lang gratefully when he heard this, but he didn't say thank you.

"That's good, work hard, you will always succeed, not to mention that your qualifications are so good." Chen Lang nodded, and then looked at Liang Jiahui.

Liang Jiahui's face was depressed, and finally Andy Lau opened his mouth, "Lang Lang, Jiahui has been in big trouble recently. ”

"I heard that it was banned by Taiwan because of the actor won the actor in "Listening to Politics in the Curtain", right?" Chen Lang said.

"Yes, but I think it's just a movie, and there's nothing wrong with it, so Taiwan asked me to write a letter of repentance, but I refused, and finally they told all theater dealers that all my film and television works can't enter Taiwanese cinemas." Leung Ka-fai was still angry when he talked about this, and his fists were clenched.

Chen Lang nodded, and then said directly, "Taiwan is the largest box office for Hong Kong films, Taiwan has this decision, no one dares to ask you to make a film, although I also know some friends in Taiwan, but if you want to solve this problem in a short time, I can't do anything." ”

Andy Lau was anxious for a while, and Leung Jiahui's face turned a little pale.

It didn't seem to see the faces of the two, Chen Lang continued, "Taiwan has issued this blocking order, no matter who can't let it be canceled in the short term, or Taiwan will slap itself in the face, so it's useless to ask anyone for help." ”

"What then?" Andy Lau was even more anxious when he heard this.

"It's definitely impossible to let Jiahui star in movies now, but my LL film company is now in urgent need of all kinds of talents, I heard that Jiahui is good at design, why don't you come and help me, but in addition to design, Jiahui You can have more freedom, although you can't be an actor in the crew, but you can also do a lot of things, it may be helpful for your future performances, as long as you wait for the ban order to be lifted, I can let you be the starring actor immediately, after all, you are an actor." Chen Lang said with a smile.

Andy Lau stared at his good friend when he heard this, to see how he chose.

Liang Jiahui actually knew this result long before looking for Chen Lang, but he was still a little disappointed, but there was no way, no matter how long Chen Lang's hand was, he couldn't reach Taiwan, and it was already a great help to be able to take him in when the film company was afraid of him.

"Lang Lang, thank you, I am willing to go to your company." Liang Jiahui said with a deep breath.

Andy Lau patted Leung Jiahui's shoulder happily when he heard this, although the result was not the most perfect, but at least it was good news.

"You're welcome, it's me who should be thanked, I made an actor for nothing." Chen Lang was also very happy to hear Leung Jiahui's answer, this is an actor known as the actor of all kinds of actors, and joining the company is definitely a big help.

"I know Zheng Zhenkun Zheng in Taiwan, he knows a lot of people, maybe he can say a few words, I will ask him to come forward to say something, I hope you can lift the ban as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Lang Lang!"

"It's all said, you're welcome, let's go in and watch a movie." After Chen Lang finished speaking, he returned to his seat first and watched the movie.

The movie is mainly about Mai Shang, the interview director of the China News Agency, on Christmas Eve's birthday, only his two-year-old son (Wang Jiaming) was by his side, lonely and missed his dead wife, his son (Chen Baiqiang) and daughter (Li Lizhen) encouraged his father to pursue the female singer Xiaofeng (Xu Xiaofeng) next door, and in the process of courtship, many jokes were made.

Chen Lang also saw this movie in his previous life, although it was watched after 30 years, but in Chen Lang's opinion, it is still a masterpiece, and the picture that is not very clear seems to carry a kind of nostalgia, which makes people feel more nostalgic, and people can't help but think of the glory of Hong Kong films that once swept across Asia.

Now Chen Lang watched the film again, and felt that although there was a difference from his memory, it was not much different, and the scene of Leslie Cheung tricking and kissing Li Lizhen in the film made everyone laugh, maybe this trick will become one of the classic tricks of boys in the future.

"Merry Christmas" is a warm romantic comedy, focusing on touching and comedy, coupled with catering to the current Christmas schedule, and the laughter from time to time in the screening room, I believe the box office will be good.

When "Merry Christmas" was released, it was already mid-December, and Crazy January was approaching, in order to compete for the three major award ceremonies, various record companies also began to build momentum for their singers, the two major TV stations and radio stations, and countless entertainment newspapers also became extremely busy, and the atmosphere began to become enthusiastic.
