Chapter 359: Focus
Thank you for the big reward!
---------------------
After Chen Baiqiang's "I Like You" achieved an astonishing result of six consecutive championships on the Hong Kong album list, he finally lost the championship, which made the major media and Chen Baiqiang's fans secretly cry that it was a pity, and at the same time, it also relieved the singers who were preparing to release the film from other record companies.
For a while, in the last week of July, there were more than a dozen second- and third-tier singers releasing records at the same time, and it seems that everyone was suppressed too hard by Chen Baiqiang, and now "I Like You" is still very popular because of the narrow Hong Kong market, but sales have inevitably declined.
Just when these dozen singers were secretly competing to achieve three consecutive championships, even if it was a dream of two consecutive championships, a piece of news scared them out of a cold sweat.
Lang Lang's third solo album "Lang Cai Girl" sold six platinum in Hong Kong, with more than 310,000 sales, and in countries and places outside Hong Kong, it sold 2.43 million copies, and "Lang Cai Woman" has sold a total of 2.74 million copies in Asia as of today!
Let's take a look at the sales of Chen Lang's first two records.
Lang Lang's first record was released in August 1981 with "Lang Lang Qiankun", when the sales statistics two months later were more than 1.9 million copies, and more than 270,000 copies were sold in Hong Kong, and in these two years, many new fans of Lang Lang bought his first record, so so far, the sales of "Lang Lang Qiankun" have successfully exceeded 2 million, reaching 2.15 million copies.
The second album, Catchy, was officially released in March 1982 and sold 2.43 million copies in three months, with Hong Kong contributing 360,000 copies, and another 180,000 copies sold in a year and a half, bringing the total sales of Catchy to 2.61 million copies to date.
In other words, Chen Lang's three albums released so far have won 20 platinum and more than 1 million copies sold in Hong Kong, and in the whole of Asia, it is a terrifying 7.5 million copies.
Lang Lang's talent is amazing, every record in Hong Kong has exceeded five platinums, and even more rarely, it is very popular in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even Japan and South Korea, which is the most incredible place.
Lang Lang's future is not in Hong Kong, but in Asia, and the whole world. --- Oriental Daily
After this report came out, the whole of Hong Kong was shaken, and countless people's first feeling was that this news was fake, because it was too unbelievable.
Everyone is very convinced of the sales of Chen Lang's records in Hong Kong, but the sales of the whole of Asia outside Hong Kong feel very unreal, especially the leading Hong Kong record company boss Polygram.
Polygram signed with Asian singer Teresa Teng, but Teresa Teng's good performance of a record sold between 1.5 million and 3 million in the whole of Asia.
This is Teresa Teng, who has been famous for more than ten years and is loved by fans all over Asia, but a newcomer who has just debuted for more than two years, each record has sold more than 2 million in Asia, and now it is even approaching 3 million, which is really unbelievable.
Even Xu Guanjie, who has been popular in Xiangjiang for more than ten years, has the best sales of a record in Asia of just over 1.7 million, but this achievement is not even as good as Chen Lang's first record.
Of course, there are objective reasons for this, that is, Xu Guanjie and Teresa Teng became famous in the 70s, the record market at that time was not so hot, and the economies of various Asian countries and regions had not yet recovered.
In the 80s, with the growth of a new generation of young people across Asia, there was a need for new idols who met their requirements.
Therefore, the popularity and market appeal of the older generation of singers like Xu Guanjie have inevitably declined, and even Teresa Teng, an Asian singer who can eat all ages, has also declined a lot in popularity among young students on campus.
In the eighties, their influence among young people was no longer what it had been.
However, the 1 million albums they achieved in the 70s, when they were at their most popular, definitely surpassed the current 3 million.
Chen Lang is indeed catching up with a good time, the economic recovery of Asian countries and regions, the acceleration of development, the increase of everyone's purchasing power, the growth of a new generation of young people needs new idols, the Hong Kong music scene alternates between the old and the new, the heroes compete with each other, excellent appearance and amazing dance skills, plus the most rebellious golden finger, it can almost be said that everything is ready only to the east wind.
Whether it is Hong Kong media, major record companies, musicians, fans, or ordinary citizens, they were shocked by the news, especially Chen Baiqiang's fans were dumbfounded, and only Chen Lang's fans raised their heads proudly.
This is our idol, the absolute king of sales.
However, after a short silence, the Hong Kong media immediately staged a big change of face and praised Chen Lang's impressive achievements.
The record not only sold amazingly, but also a rare pop classic, and for a while, the Hong Kong media's praise of Chen Lang made Chen Lang feel numb.
The major record companies also instantly turned red, everyone knew that Chen Lang had not renewed his contract with Huaxing for a long time, so they all moved to dig up this cash cow.
Polygram General Manager's Office.
"I didn't expect this Lang Lang's record sales to be so amazing, which has surpassed Teresa Teng's Asian sales, it's really unbelievable." Huo Xiaosa looked at the newspaper and said with emotion.
The general manager of Polygram also nodded silently, "Xiao Sa, I remember that you have contacted Chen Lang many times, and now Chen Lang has not renewed his contract with Huaxing, do you think it is possible for us to sign him?" ”
"I can't say for sure, but I estimate that Chen Lang's refusal to renew his contract with Huaxing is probably because of wireless' door-picking style, wanting to let stars sign a deed of sale, and not giving enough profits, no one is willing to renew the contract, let alone an amazing character like Chen Lang."
"That's right, it's just that wireless can do this kind of thing, it seems that the success has made wireless have begun to go to a crisis, but our focus is to make every effort to win Chen Lang, even if we pay a lot of money, we must get Chen Lang, so that we can make up for the vacancy after the double outstanding leaves, Xiao Sa, you are the person who has the most contact with Chen Lang in the company, and this matter will be handed over to you."
"Even now, Chen Lang can be called the most valuable male singer at the box office in Hong Kong, but his qualifications are too shallow, but if Chen Lang can win the most popular male singer in the first top ten golden songs, then he will be able to sit on this title, so Chen Lang is worth any price we pay, I will do my best to bring Chen Lang to Polygram, but Alan Tam is ......"
Huo Xiaosa was a little hesitant, because Polygram had already made the decision to tilt resources towards Alan Tam and train him to become the company's first brother, but he didn't expect Chen Lang to renew his contract for a long time, so that everyone could see the opportunity to get this super idol singer.
"For the time being, Alan Tam is still cultivating according to the plan set by the company, and everything will be discussed after Chen Lang's matter is confirmed."
"Okay, I'll go get ready now." After speaking, Huo Xiaosa left the office.
At the same time, several other powerful international record labels, EMI, Warner and Sony, have also made the decision to go all out to win Chen Lang, and several international giant record companies have launched an alternative competition.
When the sales results of Chen Lang's three records were announced, the major record companies actually guessed that Chen Lang's latest album was about to be released.
Sure enough, the next day, promotional posters about Chen Lang's latest record were plastered all over the streets of Hong Kong.
"Oriental Daily", "Ming Pao", "Hong Kong Economic Journal", "Cheng Pao" and many other newspapers have appeared in the news of the upcoming release of "Moonlight and Starry", and TVB is also broadcasting the release information of the record around the clock.
The whole of Hong Kong knows that Chen Lang's fourth album "Moonlight Starry Rare" will be released on August 1.
In a café, there were more than a dozen students, who were the main backbones of Chen Lang's fan club.
"August 1 is the day of Lang Lang's record release, and when the time comes, we will continue to organize fans to support Lang Lang." Chen Jianren said.
"Of course, the last "Lang Cai Girl" only won six platinum sales, which is not as good as the sales of "Catchy", and this time we will go further and strive to surpass the sales of "Catchy". Local tyrant Wang Lei said.
"This is the best, and Lang Lang's "Moonlight Stars" must win the seventh consecutive championship on the Hong Kong album list, surpassing Chen Baiqiang, I think his fans are still crazy." Little Lori Cao Jie grinds her teeth.
"Yes, the fans who have seen Chen Baiqiang for a long time are not pleasing to the eye, and after winning six consecutive championships, their tails will go up to the sky, and they will not see that the sales of Lang Lang's records are so bad, they must give some color for them to see." Shi Wei also said viciously.
Chen Jian nodded, in fact, Chen Jian and everyone had no opinion on Chen Baiqiang, but for Chen Baiqiang's fans, they shouted that Chen Lang was not as good as Chen Baiqiang, which made everyone a little unbearable, but it was just that the six consecutive championships were so arrogant, which caused everyone to be very disgusted.
This is the so-called one honey top ten black, showing off his idol too much, it will really attract the disgust of many people, fortunately, Chen Lang stopped everyone from competing against each other, so everyone died down.
But now is the time for Lang Lang Records' release, everyone finally doesn't have to be patient, and must let Chen Baiqiang's fans see who is the flag bearer of the new generation of singers.
At the same time, many media and citizens are also very concerned about the sales of Chen Lang's latest records, because although the dispute between the two Chen has subsided some time ago, the impact is still there.
What's more, the newspaper has not stopped reporting for a day about which of the two is stronger and who will win the most popular male singer in the top ten golden songs.
Chen Baiqiang's fans are also paying attention to this record, and they hope that this time Chen Lang will be able to fall on his heels, so as to prove that his idol is the strongest voice of the new generation.
For a while, all eyes in Hong Kong were focused on the upcoming August 1.
