Chapter 485: Two Things

For the coming crazy January, both the media and the public have paid great attention.

In this era when the entertainment industry is not very developed, but singers are becoming more and more popular, it is undoubtedly a very interesting pastime for citizens to see the competition between major stars.

For fans, it is a holy war, about whether their idols can win and suppress other competitors.

For major media, it means hot highlights and amazing sales.

So, in December, the whole of Hong Kong was already boiling.

In the competition for major awards, the competition between male singers in the music world is the most eye-catching, in addition to the four leading figures of the new generation, the older generation of Xu Guanjie is also catching up, and Lin Zixiang, who is older and more demonic, is even older and spicy, and his performance even exceeds that of previous years.

Compared with the competition between female singers, the competition between male singers is more intense, and everyone has the most speculation about who can win among male singers.

The competition between the four new singers and the two old-timers is very interesting, and everyone has the same views on the competition of these six people, and there are also different opinions, and the Hong Kong people who are good at gambling even offer odds.

Among these six people, the least favored is Leslie Cheung, although Leslie Cheung's last two records have made him famous and popular in Hong Kong, but Leslie Cheung's successful records are only two, and he is not as good as the other five singers in this regard, although his performance this year is better than the two veteran singers, but he has been suppressed by Chen Baiqiang, and he is not as good as Chen Lang and Alan Tam.

The only thing that is debatable is that Leslie Cheung belongs to Huaxing Records, and the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards are held by Wireless, and Leslie Cheung is a descendant.

But in this kind of situation where the performance is obviously inferior to the other three new generation singers in all aspects, and the background cannot be compared with the two old singers, if Wireless dares to risk the world's disapproval, the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards will also be questioned most violently, and I believe that Wireless will not ruin its reputation for the most popular male singer award.

Therefore, although Leslie Cheung's performance this year is better than last year, he has also gained a lot of fans, and has successfully ranked among the leaders of the new generation, but there is zero possibility of being crowned the king of the music world.

The odds are higher than Leslie Cheung's Chen Baiqiang and the two veteran singers, Chen Baiqiang's performance on a record this year is excellent, but compared with Chen Lang and Alan Tam, it is still inferior, and the performance of the two veteran singers is slightly inferior, but in the era of the new generation of singers, they can still have such a performance, which is enough to prove the strength of the two, plus the heritage behind the two, winning the award may not be impossible.

Chen Baiqiang, Xu Guanjie and Lin Zixiang are ranked in the second echelon of awards, and they all have the possibility of an upset.

In the first gear are naturally Chen Lang and Alan Tam.

Alan Tam's outstanding performance of two records this year amazed the entire music industry, both in sales and word-of-mouth are at the peak, and the combo of the two records makes Alan Tam unstoppable, although the sales of a single record are not as good as Chen Lang, but the combined sales of the two albums have reached nearly 13 platinum, and there is no doubt that he is the king of total record sales this year.

"Lang Smoke Rolling" shows Chen Lang's domineering and super appeal after becoming a superstar in the music industry, the record is accompanied by a series of music records, is the king of single record sales this year, and this rock record is also of great significance to the Hong Kong music scene, pointing out the direction for rock music, and will have a very high status in Hong Kong music history.

Chen Lang, a record swept Xiangjiang, Alan Tam, scored two unstoppable goals, and the competition between the two is undoubtedly the biggest attraction.

In the competition for the Most Popular Male Singer Award, Chen Lang and Alan Tam are undoubtedly one position ahead, but Chen Baiqiang, Xu Guanjie and Lin Zixiang behind them also have hope of an upset, and Leslie Cheung is likely to accompany him.

In terms of female singers, the competition was not fierce, and it was still Anita Mui's solo queen of the two songs, but in the case that Anita Mui did not release a film, the balance of victory was already in favor of Zhen Ni, but in mid-December, Huaxing suddenly released a "Flying Stage" for Anita Mui, and Hong Kong once again rolled up Anita Mui.

The album was released until mid-December, which reminded Chen Lang of many Hollywood movies rushing to the year-end awards season, and Anita Mui was reversed when she performed very well last year, losing to Asian singer Teresa Teng, which made Huaxing and her fans regret.

Many people say that the Most Popular Female Singer Award of the 1st Top Ten Golden Melody Awards was awarded to Teresa Teng, in fact, it was to commend Teresa Teng, because in terms of performance in just one year, Anita Mui is undoubtedly better than Teresa Teng, and in the top ten golden songs, Anita Mui also won two yuan, but Teresa Teng did not have a single one, but Teresa Teng finally reversed.

Many people think that this is a reward for Teresa Teng's great achievements over the years, and it is also for Teresa Teng's practice, because after the award ceremony, she went to Japan again and started her journey to conquer the four islands again.

This year's Hong Kong music scene does not have Teresa Teng, an Asian singer, and before Anita Mui released the record, only Lin Zhimei, Ye Qianwen and Chen Huixian performed well.

Lin Zhimei's singing voice is excellent, and the quality of the songs is also excellent, but the record sales are not convincing.

Ye Qianwen and Chen Huixian, the two newcomers in their early years, are eye-catching, although the record sales and records are not as impressive as Anita Mui, who made her debut, but they are already outstanding among newcomers, but both of them are newcomers, and it is too difficult to win awards.

And the two veteran singers Xu Xiaofeng and Zhen Ni are still standing, especially Zhen Ni's performance after her comeback won a full house, and before Anita Mui did not release a record, she was seen as the biggest hit.

But Huaxing suddenly announced the release of Anita Mui's record in December, which surprised and gloated many people, and LL Records was angry, and the Most Popular Female Singer Award, which had great hopes of winning the award, has now become confusing again.

The most popular female singers in this year's Top Ten Golden Melody Awards are only Zhen Ni and Anita Mui, Xu Xiaofeng and Liana are not as good as Zhen Ni, and they get along a lot compared with Anita Mui, and other female singers have a lot of weaknesses, so this award has become a battle between the two strong.

At the same time, Zhenni belongs to LL Records, Anita Mui belongs to Huaxing Records, these two record companies are entangled together because of Chen Lang, which makes the media very excited, and all kinds of hype are very loud, "the duel between the old and new clubs", "the battle between new love and old love", etc., the majority of citizens who watch it are addicted.

At this time, Hong Kong has become very lively because of the upcoming three major award ceremonies, and Chen Lang returned to LL Film Company once during this period.

"Mr. Xue, "Merry Christmas" was able to get a first-week box office of 9.05 million Hong Kong dollars, and it did a good job." Chen Lang praised the snow sky blue in front of him.

Because he had just entered the company, he had doubts about the turtle's ability, so after Chen Lang left the company and entered the campus, he handed over most of the things to Xue Tianlan, of course, not to let him transform the company's system, but to make him want to be in charge of the movie "Merry Christmas".

From the formation of the film crew, the recruitment of personnel, the logistics during filming, the promotion of the film, and the connection with the theater chain, he was in charge of it, and now the movie has been released and won the second best first-week box office of this year, which shows that Xue Tianlan's work ability is worthy of recognition.

"Half of this achievement is attributed to the good filming of the film, and half is attributed to my ability." Xue Tianlan said with a relaxed face.

Chen Lang was a little surprised when he heard this, this guy really deserves to be back from the United States, and such direct self-praise is really rare in China.

"You did a good job of this movie, and the company recognized your ability, and now you can modify the company according to the system you have formulated, but it's best not to change too much at once, there are obviously still many differences between Hong Kong and Hollywood, here are some of my suggestions, I hope it can be integrated into your system." Chen Lang took out a document and handed it to Xue Tianlan.

As the assistant general manager of a Hollywood giant company, when he returned to the Hong Kong film company, there must be a lot of unpleasant things, which is also one of the shortcomings of Hong Kong films, so Chen Lang agreed to his transformation after affirming Xue Tianlan's ability, but this is Hong Kong after all, and many Hollywood things can't work here, so it must be in accordance with the national conditions.

Xue Tianlan frowned when she heard this, took the document, and then flipped through it, the more she looked at it, the tighter her brows wrinkled, but finally nodded, "Hong Kong and Hollywood are really different." ”

Fortunately, it's important to be flexible.

"It's different." Chen Lang said softly, "But today, I still have two things to explain to you." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Xue Tianlan put down the document in her hand and asked curiously.

"You should know that there are two relatively independent groups in the company, the special effects team and the animation team."

Xue Tianlan nodded when she heard this, and said that Xue Tianlan still admires Chen Lang very much, and now because there is no special effects blockbuster that shocks the world, there are very few people engaged in special effects, including Hollywood.

However, the masterpiece of "Star Wars" made Xue Tianlan very interested in special effects, and also felt that this was a direction for the development of future films, so when he returned to Hong Kong and saw that the company actually had a special effects team, Xue Tianlan was very surprised and surprised.

However, although these two groups are under the film company, they are very independent, and Xue Tianlan, the deputy general manager of the company, does not know much.

"The anime team has made an animated film, and now it's almost complete, and you need to contact the TV station."

"No problem, I'll get in touch, but do the two TV stations have a choice?" Xue Tianlan asked.

"No, whoever gives more will choose whichever one chooses."

"I see, I'll take care of it, but what about the other thing?"

"The other thing is...... Shaw Cinemas. ”
