Chapter 276: Glory Despite Defeat

"The first week of June has come by in a hurry, and it is a memorable week for the Hong Kong music scene, because this week the Hong Kong record sales record was officially broken, and it was broken by two people at the same time.

Of course, the first to break this record was the emperor Xu Guanjie, and Lang Lang also broke the record not long after.

At the same time, this week, the sales of "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" once again surpassed "Catchy" by 202 copies.

"Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" defended its title to the top of the year's total record sales in a record-breaking way.

Although "Catchy" also broke the original Hong Kong record sales record, it could only rank second in total Hong Kong record sales.

……

Sam's "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" sold 604 copies this week, with a cumulative sales of 367657 albums, breaking the record sales record in Hong Kong and leaving a strong mark on the Hong Kong music scene.

The young talent Lang Lang's record "Catchy" also sold 402 copies this week, with a cumulative sales of 367071 records, following in the footsteps of Ah Sam and also breaking the Hong Kong record sales record.

"Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" widened the gap with "Catchy" to 586 copies, this gap has exceeded the weekly sales of "Catchy", Lang Lang wants to surpass Sam again, the battle between the old and the new officially came to an end, and Xu Guanjie won the final victory.

But Lang Lang was able to break the Hong Kong record sales record in less than two years after his debut, and he lost to Ah Sam, which can be said to be a glory despite the defeat, we should give our applause to this young man who has become a superstar in the Hong Kong music scene in the future.

……”

Although Chen Lang lost to Xu Guanjie in this competition, "Catchy" still continued to sell for four weeks, until it sold less than 10 copies a week, and it was also announced that the sales of Chen Lang's second record "Catchy" were basically confirmed.

In these four weeks, "Catchy" brought 386 sales, and finally the total sales of "Catchy" reached 367457.

Hui Guanjie's "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" also stalled after four weeks, and finally achieved a total sales of 368239 albums, raising the original Hong Kong record sales record by 1,184 copies.

With the release of the Hong Kong album chart in the latest week, the competition between Chen Lang and Xu Guanjie has officially ended, and the Hong Kong music scene has ushered in a new record sales record.

For such a fierce and anxious competition between the two, it can be said that it is beyond everyone's imagination, but this result can be regarded as a happy ending that everyone is satisfied with.

The media newspaper relied on hype to attract countless eyeballs and earn enough sales, and the happy newspaper couldn't keep its mouth shut.

The general public watched the many twists and turns of the plot ups and downs, and felt that it was not much better than Chen Lang's novel, and it also gave everyone a lot of talking points for a long time.

Singers or producers in the music industry are also excited, they hope that they can get such amazing sales and reputation like Lang Lang and Ah Sam, because these two records not only bring huge profits to the two, but also bring countless honors, and the stars of the two will definitely be dazzling at next year's Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.

The bosses and tyrants who are interested in the record market saw two records of more than seven platinums, and their eyes were instantly bloodshot, this is a huge cake, and they must hurry up, and at the same time, the world's giant record companies have also accelerated the pace of establishing branches in Hong Kong because of the high-profile record war in Hong Kong.

Of course, the happiest must be Xu Guanjie and Polygram Records, Xu Guanjie has gained fame and fortune, proving that he is still the first brother in the Hong Kong music scene, and Polygram has once again confirmed that he is the most powerful record company in Hong Kong.

This result cannot be regarded as a complete result for Chen Lang and Huaxing Records, but it can be regarded as a surprise.

With this competition, Huaxing has made its company's reputation famous in Xiangjiang again, which has greatly strengthened the company's attraction to top singers and rookie singers, and also increased the popularity of the company's upcoming "Rookie Singing Contest".

Similarly, the sales of Record Seven Platinum were able to make the company very profitable.

Internally, it has increased the cohesion and enterprising spirit of Huaxing Records, and at the same time, the company's status and importance in the eyes of the parent company have further risen, gaining more attention, and also bringing more support than resources.

Chen Lang can also be regarded as fame and fortune, and the dividends from the record can bring him millions of income.

Of course, more importantly, this achievement made Chen Lang, who only released two records, directly enter the ranks of Hong Kong's top singers.

Although Chen Lang made a stunning debut in the past and had a huge influence among teenagers, these could not allow Chen Lang to be fully recognized by professionals.

But now the situation has changed, everyone not only recognizes Chen Lang's singing strength and market appeal, but also faintly regards Chen Lang as a new superstar in the music world.

Another point is that Chen Lang's creative ability has once again been unanimously recognized by everyone, ten songs on one record are good songs, which can be regarded as a fluke, but two records and twenty songs are all excellent works, so that everyone can only put aside Chen Lang's age and treat this genius boy's shocking creative ability and song quality rate correctly.

The current Chen Lang may not be able to say that "produced by Lang Lang must be a high-quality product", but now the songs created by Chen Lang will definitely attract strong attention from singers, and at the same time, more and more people will invite Chen Lang to sing.

Back in May.

Since Chen Lang came back from his trip to Asia, although he has been paying attention to the competition between himself and Ah Sam, Chen Lang and Chen Shufen feel that there is no need to run publicity anymore.

Therefore, Chen Lang began to fulfill his previous promise to fans on two days of the week, and began to interact with fans in various regions.

Tang Xiaomei has been accompanying Chen Lang to fan meetings during this time, and the two are inseparable, even if everyone jokes that Chen Lang is a strict wife, or laughs at Tang Xiaomei for taking Chen Lang too strictly, the two are just smiling and silent, and they are still tired of being together.

However, because all the expenses of this activity were borne by Chen Lang alone, everyone also seized this rare opportunity to play to their heart's content, especially the students who were usually more difficult at home and tried their best to have enough.

Fans were greatly moved by the generosity and thoughtfulness of their idols, and Chen Lang was very pleased to be able to do what he could for his lovely fans.

At the same time, Chen Lang and Chen's father began negotiations with Oriental Daily News about a new contract.

Between the hotel boxes, Chen Lang, Chen's father, and Chen Shufen sat opposite Ma Chengkun, Editor-in-Chief Wang and Manager Liu.

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Ma would come in person." Father Chen looked at Ma Chengkun opposite and said politely with a smile.

Ma Chengkun's arrival is indeed surprising.

However, considering the huge sales and other profits brought by "Buddha is the Way" and Chen Lang's first two novels to "Oriental Daily", and at the same time, Lang Lang Qiankun and "Oriental Daily" also maintain a good cooperative relationship, it is not difficult to understand the arrival of Ma Chengkun.

And Ma Chengkun's personal arrival will show that "Oriental Daily" is full of sincerity, after all, there are too many people who want to sign Chen Lang, a cash cow.

Chen Lang's novels are now very popular not only in Hong Kong, but also in Macau, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

In addition, Chen Lang also has a characteristic that Ma Chengkun appreciates very much.

That is, Chen Lang only writes one novel, unlike many other writers, who basically serialize several different novels in several newspapers at the same time.

This makes Chen Lang's words more "rare and precious", and also makes Ma Chengkun happy, of course, other people who spend a lot of money are helpless and hateful.

"Lang Lang is a guest of honor in our newspaper industry, so he naturally deserves to be here in person. And I also like Lang Lang's latest album "Catchy", I bought five records alone to support Lang Lang. ”

Ma Chengkun is now less than thirty years old, he is still very young, although he is in a high position, but he does not give people that feeling of being on top.

"Then I want to thank Mr. Ma for your support." Chen Lang smiled and thanked him when he heard this.

"It should. Since we are all old friends, we will get straight to the point, this is the new contract we are preparing, the other terms have not changed, the only thing that has changed is the manuscript fee, from the original 150 thousand words, to 300 yuan per thousand words, you can take a look at it first. After Ma Chengkun finished speaking, Editor-in-Chief Wang handed the prepared contract to Chen Shufen.

Chen Shufen nodded after reading it carefully.

After Chen Lang saw that Chen Shufen was confirmed, he also nodded to Chen's father, so Chen's father directly picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract.

The two sides have been cooperating for a long time, and they get along very happily, so the signing is very refreshing.

Ma Chengkun was also very happy to see the other party's refreshing signature, and hoped that the matter of cooperation would benefit both parties for a long time, so that "Oriental Daily" could also occupy the throne of Hong Kong's newspaper sales champion for a longer time.

After both parties signed, their minds relaxed a lot and began to chat.

Just when Ma Chengkun wanted to talk to Chen Lang about the issue of the publishing rights of "Buddha is the Way", Chen's father and Chen Lang glanced at each other and asked Ma Chengkun tentatively, "Mr. Ma, I heard that the Oriental Publishing House under your group has been in a bad situation recently. ”

Ma Chengkun frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Father Chen to ask this question, and he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions for a while, so he could only reply vaguely, "It's okay, there's no big problem." ”

"Mr. Ma, we are all familiar with each other, so I will say it directly. Lang Lang's future novels will not be sold to others, we hope to be able to publish ourselves, so we want to buy a publishing house, it just so happens that we heard that there seems to be some problems with your group's publishing house, so we want to buy your group's Oriental Publishing House, I don't know what you think? ”
