Chapter 150: Business is booming
Chen Lang saw that the fans surrounding him were each holding some small goods in their hands, and the most of them were their Q version dolls, it seems that the girls' resistance to cute plush dolls is really not ordinarily low.
Then Chen Lang began to sign the things that everyone bought, although there were already signatures on them.
After a while, everyone let go of their idols and began to choose other things seriously, and several big stars also picked a few small commodities and left, after all, everyone was very busy, and it was already a cheer to come and show their faces, and Chen Lang also sent a few out of the door one by one and expressed his gratitude.
When Xu Guanjie left, he said to Chen Lang, "Lang Lang, remember that I told you that I wanted you to write a song for me?" ”
"Of course I remember, why do you want it now?" Chen Lang asked curiously, because Xu Guanjie had just released the record "Modern Bodyguard" not long ago, it was impossible to release a new record so soon.
Speaking of the records of Hong Kong singers in the eighties and nineties, there are still many differences from those of later generations.
The first is that everyone releases a lot of records, and even three records can be released in a year, unlike later generations, everyone generally releases an album every year or even a few years, of course, this is also related to the low sales of albums in later generations.
Secondly, there are a lot of movie records of the same name, and the songs are the theme songs and interludes in the movie, and these records sell very well, and can even play a role in promoting each other with the movie.
This is somewhat similar to the United States, where many of the popular movie cassettes of the same name have sold extremely well, similar to "The Bodyguard", and have even been able to occupy the Billboard title for more than ten weeks in a row.
Then there's the concert highlights, which was even more pronounced in the mid-to-late 80s, when many superstars would hold their own concerts and even compete for it, and record companies took advantage of the trend to launch concert highlights records, which also sold very well, no worse than your brand new record.
Finally, record companies are keen to release compilations, selecting more than a dozen classic and fine works from a singer's many songs, reborn and reincarnating, but still able to get good sales, of course, this is also related to the fact that the 80s were the golden heyday of the Hong Kong music scene, with high record sales and few pirated copies.
"No, I just think that the songs you write are classics or masterpieces, so I hope to invite you to sing and write me a good song when the time is right, is there a problem?" Xu Guanjie said with a smile.
"No problem, you can tell me at any time if you need it, but it may take a while, after all, I can't write it right away, and I still need inspiration to write songs." Chen Lang agreed without thinking about it.
After all, it is very easy to write songs by himself, and Xu Guanjie is really kind to himself, he has no shelves, he has a good personality, and Chen Lang is also happy to be friends with him.
"Of course, as a singer-songwriter, I naturally know the difficulty of writing songs, so I'll thank you in advance, Lang Lang!" Xu Guanjie was very happy to hear Chen Lang agree.
"What did Sam say to you?" As soon as Xu Guanjie left, Chen Shufen approached Chen Lang and asked.
"Sam wanted me to write a song for him, and I agreed." Chen Lang looked indifferent.
"The songs you write are all good songs, so you're willing to give them away. And Sam is already strong, and you write songs for him again, aren't you afraid of making trouble for yourself? Chen Shufen teased.
"It's just a song, it's not a big deal, and I'm confident in myself, I'm no worse than anyone else." Chen Lang's tone was full of confidence.
"Well, you're no worse than anyone else. By the way, have you ever thought about releasing another record now? Chen Shufen asked suddenly.
"Another record now? But it's been less than three months since my first album was released, so it's too early for another record to come out. Chen Lang looked surprised.
"What's this, it takes a lot of time to record a good record, plus post-production and publicity, and when it is actually released, it has been almost half a year since your first record, and the time interval is not too short, and you can also use the good reputation of the first record to stimulate sales." Chen Shufen's face was serious and natural.
"Forget it, I hope that the songs on the second record will be all written by myself, after all, I will take the route of a singer-songwriter, but it will take time." Chen Lang shook his head when he heard this.
It's naturally not a little difficult to compose songs by yourself now, but Chen's father and Chen's mother probably won't agree to be busy with records anymore during this time.
"Okay, it's up to you, but you must tell me as soon as you're done, can you?" Chen Shufen listened to Chen Lang's words and said helplessly.
Hearing Chen Shufen's helplessness, Chen Lang was also a little embarrassed, "Is it that I am the only one in the company, and if I don't release a record, everyone will have nothing to do?" ”
"That's not it, the company is still busy making records for TVB's TV drama songs, and will also undertake some concert matters, so it won't be too idle."
"That's good, when I finish writing all the songs on the second record, I will definitely inform you immediately, Sister Chen, don't worry." Chen Lang swore an oath.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news, goodbye!"
After sending off a few people, Chen Lang returned to the store to help, although many people left after several big stars left, but there were still many fans who began to choose goods seriously after asking for the idol's autograph.
After all, these small goods are indeed very fashionable and avant-garde, cute and novel, very in line with the taste of teenagers, many people want to buy this when they look at this, and they don't want to put it down when they hold that, and they are entangled.
Chen Lang also learned to be a shopping guide, introducing the small products he designed to all customers and fans, but fortunately, everyone was more face-saving and bought these things, without letting Chen Lang do useless work, of course, it is indispensable to sign on these goods in return.
Chen Lang worked as a shopping guide for a day, surrounded by fans all the time, and he was tired enough, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got home and had dinner.
"Business looks good today." Chen Yun said with a smile.
"Of course it would be nice to have a few big stars on the first day, but it will definitely not be like today in the future." Father Chen shook his head.
"It's true that it won't be like this every day in the future, but everyone's response is very good, many people like these things very much, and said they will recommend them to their classmates and friends, and today they will earn more than 20,000 yuan a day, I really didn't expect it." Chen's mother was full of smiles, and it seemed that she had a lot of confidence in the success of the store.
Today, more than 20,000 yuan was sold in one day, although it is impossible to have so much every day, but as the peripheral product expected by Chen Lang, with the big sales of a certain film and television drama, it is easy to have hot sales in a short period of time.
And with the development of Hong Kong's economy, everyone's purchasing power will continue to increase, and with the cute and fashionable design of these things, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
