Chapter 456 Written in the History of Music
"Smoke Rolling" exploded in the first week with an astonishing sales of 181123 sheets, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Although the record market is gradually booming, but Hong Kong can only be regarded as a small land, the total population is only more than 5 million, in Hong Kong a record can be sold platinum is already a huge success, even the king of music and Asian singers can not guarantee that all of them will be sold platinum, the number of gold records is also quite a lot.
But Chen Lang's record sales in one week can be worth or even exceed the sales of other singers in two months, and so far, Chen Lang's four records have reached the 5 platinum certification, and this "Lang Smoke Rolling" is obviously no exception, Chen Lang's super popularity and huge market appeal have made countless people feel incredible, especially the older generation of singers.
It can be seen from this that Hong Kong's record market is indeed becoming more and more prosperous, with more and more people who love music and buy records, and fans are becoming more and more crazy about their idols.
After the consumption power of fans has been greatly improved, many die-hard fans will not buy only one record when buying records in order to support their idols, but generally buy two, one for enjoyment and one for collection.
Fans born into wealthy families will even buy more than ten or twenty records at once to show their support and love for idols, which has also led to the boom of the record market in disguise, and also caused the phenomenon of higher and higher sales in a single week.
But even so, Chen Lang has successively set new weekly sales records for Hong Kong records, making everyone feel his unparalleled amazing talent, and at the same time, they also feel a trace of domineering shown by Chen Lang after being crowned the king of the music world.
Even if he chooses rock and roll, which is very niche or even has no precedent for success in the Hong Kong music scene, it can still create a new historical record, Chen Lang's heritage, reputation and appeal in the music industry have made all singers and record companies feel the pressure, and many people are guessing that maybe there will really be a situation where Chen Lang alone rules the entire Hong Kong music scene.
After the first week of sales of "Smoke Rolling" came out, major music magazines and musicians also released music reviews for this record.
"When Huaxing announced that Lang Lang's latest record would be a rock record, I was very puzzled like everyone else, although Lang Lang's previous song genres were not all mainstream in the Hong Kong music scene, but at least they were pop, and there were successful precedents.
And this is Chen Lang's first record released after becoming a superstar in the music industry, is it more conducive to consolidating his status in the music industry to make a record of strong songs and dances or inspirational on campus? Is the attempt at rock 'n' roll too risky?
I believe that there are many people who think the same way as me, so there are many reports that Lang Lang will encounter Waterloo, but in Hong Kong, where there is almost no rock, Chen Lang's courage and attempt to diversify the genre of Hong Kong songs are a great innovation, whether this record is successful or not, it is worthy of all of our admiration.
But it turns out that our worries are completely unnecessary, Lang Lang is still the genius who has amazed everyone since his debut, and the twelve songs in the record still continue the level of Lang Lang's consistent creation, all of which are high-quality products, and can even be called classics.
And the twelve rock songs in the record also broke many of our stereotypes in the past, perhaps many people's first reaction when they hear rock is bizarre clothing, long hair, crazy roars, hysterical venting, and strong explosion of music, but Lang Lang's record makes us feel a different kind of rock.
Rock 'n' roll is not only about bizarre clothing, radical ideas, and decadent attitudes, it also has its own connotations and philosophies. From the twelve songs on the record, we can clearly feel the youthful atmosphere of young people, as well as the reflection or rebellion against society, as well as the pursuit and praise of love.
Rock is not just alternative, rock is not just pop, rock is not long hair, leather clothes, guitar and drums, rock is not just a shouting sand voice, it has its own low thinking, its own wanton high-spirited, listen carefully to the song, can deeply feel the singer's soul and the song are fused together, and because of rock, a more wild, exposed song and monetization form, so that the listener can more easily understand and experience the song and the singer's emotional comprehension.
Rock 'n' roll is not only a form of music, it is actually an attitude and philosophy of life. And through this kind of record, it is a good way to point out the most profound meaning and creative direction of rock and roll for all of us, for all rock lovers, and for the Hong Kong music scene.
This record is bound to become a classic, but not only because of the 12 classic songs on the record, but also because it points the way to Hong Kong's local rock, and accurately and clearly shows the charm and true meaning of rock and roll!
This is a record that will surely go down in the history of Hong Kong music! ”
This report is not only praising the excellence of the record "Rolling Smoke", but also directly elevating it to the history of the development of the Hong Kong music scene, giving it a groundbreaking, pinnacle and instructive super high evaluation.
Countless people were shocked after seeing this report, obviously no one expected that this kind of record would have such high historical significance and such high praise.
And Chen Lang, as the party concerned, was also stunned, he just wanted to occupy the name of a pioneer because rock had not yet appeared, and at the same time, in order not to waste his gold finger, he released this rock record, but he didn't expect such a big response.
In addition, other newspapers and media also reported, "Hong Kong's first classic rock record!" "Twelve songs, twelve classics!" "Lang Lang produces, it must be a high-quality product!" and so on, although it has not elevated the historical status of "Lang Smoke Billowing", but it is also a positive evaluation.
When everyone was still sighing and shocked by the amazing momentum and super high evaluation of "Lang Smoke Rolling", the Chinese song competition array of commercial radio and the Chinese song dragon and tiger list of Radio Hong Kong were also released, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
