Chapter 131 Preparing for Propaganda
On August 9, Chen Lang's debut record "Lang Lang Qiankun" sold more than 30,000 gold records on the first day of release, which really stunned everyone, and no one expected that Chen Lang's first record would achieve such excellent results.
Although Chen Lang has long been famous in Hong Kong, it has only been four months since he really stepped into the Hong Kong music scene, but the sales of his first record on the first day have directly reached the sales of gold records.
Just by virtue of the sales on the first day, "Lang Lang Qiankun" directly landed in the top position of the Hong Kong album list, throwing off a large gap in second place.
Chen Lang also learned the news of the big sale of the record "Lang Lang Qiankun" from major newspapers, and he was in a very good mood, and the family was also happy and proud of Chen Lang, Chen's father said with a smile, "Xiaoyun, you go and play the record that Chen Shufen sent yesterday, and let's listen to my son's masterpiece." ”
"Okay." When my sister Chen Yun heard this, she immediately took out the record on the cabinet shelf, which was a vinyl record, and in the middle was a pink propaganda paper, on which Chen Lang's portrait was printed, and at the same time the names of the five songs such as "Childhood" in the album page, the songwriter and the length of the song, of course, there was also the logo of Huaxing Records and the year of release 1981.
Chen Yun put the record on the record player, picked up the golden needle and put it down, the song of "Childhood" fluttered out, Chen's father closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment from the song, nodded slowly with the rhythm, and the family laughed secretly.
Chen Lang looked at his father's appearance and shook his head with a smile, then lowered his head and continued to read today's newspaper, wanting to find a music review about his record, but he had just found Lu Guozhan's music review and heard the phone ring before he could read it carefully, Chen Lang walked over and picked up the phone, "Hey, hello, I'm Chen Lang, who are you looking for?" ”
"Lang Lang, I'm your Sister Chen, do you know yesterday's record sales? Congratulations, you sold more than 30,000 gold records on the first day. From the voice, you can hear that Chen Shufen on the other side is in a good mood.
"I am happy and happy, and congratulations to Huaxing Company for the big sales of its records." Chen Lang replied with a smile.
"You kid is really getting more and more slippery, in addition to congratulating you on the big sale of the record, I have one more thing to tell you, which is about the promotion of the record.
Although the sales of "Lang Lang Qiankun" are hot, in order to sell higher sales in the end, in addition to the performance at the Golden Disc Awards Ceremony last time, we are ready to carry out large-scale publicity at the right time in the future. Chen Shufen said seriously.
"I know, promoting records is good for record sales, so I will naturally participate, but I am going to start school on September 1st, and the promotional activities are best arranged in August, not in September, and even if they are arranged, they can only be arranged on Sundays." Chen Lang thought that he was about to be promoted to Secondary 4, but the results of the final examination of the last Secondary 3 had a big regression compared with the midterm examination.
Although it is still the top few in the grade, it is too different from the midterm exam, and it is all blamed for the midterm exam when the water was not released, the score was too high, and the second half of the semester was abandoned because of the competition, thanks to the help of the head teacher Dongfang Xin and Tang Xiaomei, plus Chen Lang was very hard and serious when he reviewed, otherwise the regression would definitely be even worse.
The difference between the two exam scores was several tens, which made Chen's father and mother a little worried about Chen Lang's studies.
Although Chen Lang's achievements in singing made the two very happy, they still refused to relax in their studies, so Chen Lang was still honest during the beginning of Secondary 4.
"By the way, you still have to go to school on September 1, Lang Lang, can you take a leave of absence, with your current ability, do you still need to go to school?" Chen Shufen thought that Chen Lang was still a student, and was speechless for a while.
"This is not negotiable, my parents value my studies very much, I have to have a high degree, if I abandon my studies because of the record matter, I'm afraid I will be banned by the two of them." Chen Lang glanced at Chen's father and Chen's mother, and said in a low voice.
"I just sighed, in fact, your parents' insistence is still very right, after all, mixing in the entertainment industry is to eat youth, when it will be outdated if it is not popular, if you don't have the ability to support yourself and live a glamorous and beautiful life, I'm afraid that your old age will be very miserable, if you can have a higher education and ability, it will also be a guarantee." Chen Shufen said sincerely.
This is also the reason why Chen Lang chose Chen Shufen as an agent, treating people sincerely, not just blindly drilling for his own interests.
"yes, so I can only be active in August, and it's better to stay at school and pretend to be a good baby in September." Although Chen Lang is full of confidence in his future, he can only endure it now due to the expectations and pressure of his parents.
"Then let's start running the promotion in the second week after the record is sold out, and then we might have to run around, you have to be prepared." Chen Shufen admonished.
"Of course, I'm ready." Chen Lang is still very interested in the upcoming publicity, in his previous life, he heard that artists are running around to promote their new albums or movies, and they are trapeze artists flying everywhere and participating in various activities to promote, but in Hong Kong, there is no need to fly.
"By the way, what are the main features of the campaign?" Chen Lang asked curiously.
"The main thing is that TVB's "Happy Tonight" will do a special interview with you, talk about your experience and this photo of "Lang Lang Qiankun", and then there will be an interview with commercial radio, and there may be some telephone interaction with your fans at that time.
If you do, it might be similar to your book signing, a few record signings, other small events to attend, and so on. For the time being, these are the only plans, and if necessary, they will be changed temporarily, but there should not be much change. Chen Shufen briefly talked about the publicity plan arranged by Huaxing Records.
"Okay, I know, just listen to your arrangement when the time comes, I'll be on call." Chen Lang said with a smile.
"Well, I hope you'll be so happy then." Chen Shufen heard the excitement in Chen Lang's tone, shook her head and said with a smile, I still don't know the hard work of an artist, and you will know the hardships when you enter the industry for a long time.
As soon as Chen Lang returned to the dining table after hanging up the phone, Chen's mother asked, "Whose phone is Lang Lang, and is there anything wrong?" ”
"It's Sister Chen, hasn't my record "Lang Lang Qiankun" been released, for the sake of record sales, the company has arranged some promotional activities, and I want to be ready to arrange a time to see the promotional record of the event at any time." Chen Lang replied cautiously.
"Did you say a specific time? It's almost September, and you still have to go to school, and you'll be in Form 4 soon. Mother Chen said with a frown when she heard this.
"The time is in the next three weeks of August, Sister Chen knows that I will go to school in September, so I specially arranged it in August, don't worry, it will not affect my schooling." Chen Lang looked at Chen's mother's frowning brows and immediately explained.
"That's pretty much it, I was busy participating in competitions last semester and missed my studies, and this semester I don't allow this to know?" Although Chen's mother loves Chen Lang in every way, she has always looked at the problem of academics, but fortunately, she has not completely erased Chen Lang's hobby, as long as there is no problem with studying, it doesn't matter if you don't do bad things.
"I know, don't worry, Mom, I won't affect my studies. After the start of school, I will study seriously and will not participate in any other activities except writing novels. Chen Lang hurriedly nodded and pretended to be obedient.
Chen's mother also felt a little emotional when she saw Chen Lang's helpless appearance, her son did make herself feel proud, but her son entered the mixed entertainment industry, and his personality was not stable enough, although he has earned millions of Hong Kong dollars with his talent now, but no one can guarantee how long it will be prosperous.
In case one day I lose my popularity and give up my studies, I am afraid that I will be in a slump from now on, at least I can learn something from school, and it will be the capital of my life in the future no matter what, I just hope that when my son will be able to understand his hard work.
