Chapter 315 Top 10 Golden Songs
"It's the second best partner movie, "Best Partner: The Great Miracle", and Ah Sam's record is also called "The Best Partner's Great Magic". Chen Shufen gritted her teeth when she said it.
"It seems that PolyGram has tasted the sweetness of the impact of the movie, and this time even the record title is the same as the movie. If it weren't for the influence of "Best Partner", I am afraid that you are the only one who broke the Hong Kong record record now, Lang Lang, you would be the holder of the Hong Kong record sales record. ”
Hearing Chen Shufen's great complaints, Chen Lang was also a little helpless, "Although I am also a little unwilling, this is already a fait accompli, and it is useless to say more." I used to call myself a genius, but I still haven't recorded a record in any country or region. ”
"Who said there wasn't." Chen Shufen was in a better mood when she heard this, "You broke the record sales record of a Cantonese singer in South Korea. ”
"South Korea? There are only 120,000 copies sold, which is still the data of the first album "Lang Lang Qiankun". Chen Lang couldn't believe it when he heard this.
"It is indeed 120,000 copies of "Lang Lang Qiankun", which is already the highest record sales record of a Cantonese singer, and the 100,000 copies of "Lang Lang Lang" ranks second." Chen Shufen finally smiled happily.
"How so? Aren't there any other singers? Chen Lang was still in disbelief.
"Hong Kong singers have sold more than 120,000 copies of "Lang Lang Qiankun" in South Korea, but his records are not Cantonese records, but English records, and so far only two Cantonese records sold in South Korea have more than 100,000 records, so you are the best Cantonese singer in Korea." Chen Shufen shrugged with some smugness.
"Well, I really didn't expect that."
"South Korea's national conditions are relatively special, and the Cantonese audience is relatively small, you can be regarded as opening up the Cantonese record market for all Hong Kong singers, and everyone should be grateful to you." Chen Shufen said.
"Let's talk about your record, you haven't recorded a record yet, and if it does, it may be around mid-February, and then it will happen that you will release a record at the same time as Sam."
Chen Lang nodded when he heard this, the time was really a coincidence.
"Although Lang Lang, your appeal is not inferior to Ah Sam, but I don't want the two tigers to compete again, I hope to postpone the release of your record to mid-March, staggering Ah Sam's release time, this is not to say that we are afraid of Polygram, but to maximize the benefits, I hope you understand."
Chen Shufen explained seriously, I was afraid that Chen Lang would not understand, after all, Chen Lang had just lost to Ah Sam, and the proud genius in his bones might still want to fight hard.
"I don't care, I just record records and run publicity, and you can decide the rest of Sister Chen." Chen Lang also knows that competition with Xu Guanjie is not the best policy.
Last time, the two competed to promote each other's sales, but this situation is rare, and it is more about squeezing each other's sales potential, and maybe in the end, the sales of both will drop significantly.
Therefore, the staggered release date is definitely a win-win situation, and I believe that Polygram also thinks so, but people have a big business, and they can't say it clearly.
Chen Shufen was a little stunned when she heard that Chen Lang easily agreed, and then nodded with satisfaction, "There is still something I want to discuss with you, and it has a major relationship with you." ”
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Because of the influence of the top ten Chinese golden songs held by Radio Television Hong Kong, TVB also wants to hold a similar music awards ceremony." Chen Shufen said.
Chen Lang's heart moved when he heard this, could it be that the top ten golden songs award ceremony in the four major music festivals in Hong Kong in the future will also come out, and the time is almost over.
"This plan has been talked about for a long time, and now it is officially running, and the ceremony is called the Top Ten Golden Songs."
Sure enough, it was the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.
The award ceremony was organised by TVB and began on 28 January 1984, and the award ceremony was usually held at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong.
However, the judging criteria of this awards ceremony have always been criticized, and the most high-profile awards are the most popular male and female singers of the year, and the results of the awards often become the focus of attention of the audience, and the winners will be regarded as the kings and queens of the Hong Kong music scene.
The Top Ten Golden Melody Awards represent the highest honor for a single song, and there will be four seasons of selection every year, with ten to twelve songs selected as the top ten golden songs of the season, and then there is a general selection among the forty-eight songs in the four seasons throughout the year, and the ten songs with the highest votes in the four seasons are voted for the top ten golden songs of the year.
Among these ten songs, the song with the highest number of votes is the song that won the Golden Melody Award, which was judged by a comprehensive record sales and popularity, as well as an expert judge.
Winning the Golden Melody Gold Award not only requires the popularity of the song itself throughout the year, but also requires the quality of the song itself, the composition and lyrics and the singer's singing skills, which have become the highest single song award of the year, and the Golden Melody Gold Award can witness the strength and singing attainments of a singer.
Because there is an award for the most popular male and female singer that is not in the top ten Chinese golden melody awards, the top ten golden songs have received great attention from all walks of life in Hong Kong since their inception.
The first Top Ten Golden Songs were in 1984, and the award was given in 1983, that is, this year's outstanding singers.
In this year, Chen Lang remembered that Alan Tam really ushered in his successful record "Late Spring" after flying solo, and at the same time, Leslie Cheung would quickly become popular in the music industry because of "The Wind Continues to Blow".
Coupled with Chen Lang, the most eye-catching young talent in the new generation of singers, and Chen Baiqiang, the melancholy prince, as well as a group of veteran singers with outstanding strength, the competition for the most popular male singers in the first top ten golden songs will be extremely fierce.
"Because the selected songs will first enter the season audition, I hope that Lang Lang you can release two records at the beginning and end of this year while maintaining quality, so that you will have a better chance of winning awards.
If you win the most popular male singer, plus your previous two records and the recognition you received in the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards, then it means that you have truly become the king of Hong Kong music, and no one will question this. ”
Chen Lang nodded when he heard this, if he can win the most popular male singer in the first top ten golden songs, this will definitely become an extremely important step for him to ascend to the throne of the Hong Kong music scene.
