Chapter 352: Award Ceremony

"Between March 1982 and March this year, there were many excellent records on the Hong Kong music scene, which were not only recognized by music critics for their quality, but also by fans in terms of sales.

In these 12 months, counting only Cantonese and Chinese records, Hong Kong has produced a total of 22 platinum records and 22 gold records, and Chinese records alone have exceeded the sales of nearly 3 million records.

The Hong Kong music scene has entered a period of prosperity, and such a prosperous scene is inseparable from the outstanding performance of all singers, and now it is up to me to award the first singer platinum record certification.

The first platinum certification belongs to Cai Fenghua, the record "Youth Trio", the production company CBS Xinli (Sony), congratulations to our Prince Charming. ”

There is only one winning principle for Golden Records, that is, sales, and there is no comment and support from musicians or audiences, so everyone knows whether their records have obtained the Golden Record certification.

Although there is one less surprise, the Golden Disc Awards Ceremony, as one of the three major awards ceremonies in the Hong Kong music scene, is still very happy to be able to win such a heavy award ceremony in the Hong Kong music scene, so Cai Fenghua ran on stage with a happy face.

At the next awards ceremony, a top singer in the Hong Kong music scene was awarded.

Xu Xiaofeng, Zhen Ni, Teresa Teng, Xu Guanjie, Luo Wen, and Liana are all top singers who have won a platinum record, and Guan Zhengjie and Lin Zixiang, who are also top singers of the older generation, have all received two platinum album certifications.

At the same time, the hero Zheng Shaoqiu, the first sister of wireless Wang Mingquan, Cai Zhentang and Guan Juying, who specialize in singing the theme song of TV series, also won a platinum record.

In addition to Cai Fenghua among the new generation of singers, Chen Lang, Alan Tam, Anita Mui, Chen Baiqiang and Zhang Delan have also received a platinum record certification, and the other two platinum certifications are records of star singing.

The company that has won the most platinum records is Polygram Records, which is now the most powerful in the Hong Kong music scene, Teresa Teng, Xu Guanjie, Leanna, Kwan Zhengjie, Alan Tam, Kwan Juying and a star record, among the 22 platinum records, Polygram has a record company that monopolizes 8 albums.

It was followed by another international giant record label, EMI, with Lin Zixiang, Cai Zhentang and Luo Wen winning four platinum records for EMI Records.

In third place is an international record company CBS Xinli (Sony), with Cai Fenghua, Xu Xiaofeng and a star record, CBS Xinli (Sony) got three platinum records.

In fourth place are two local Hong Kong record labels, Hua Xing and Entertainment, Chen Lang and Anita Mui, the two best newcomers, each got a platinum record for Hua Xing, and two TV stars, Zheng Shaoqiu and Wang Mingquan, also got two platinum records for entertainment.

Next in fifth place are three record labels, Warner, Eternity and Golden Note, Chen Baiqiang, Zhang Delan and Zhen Ni have each obtained a platinum certification for their respective companies.

The above is based on the number of platinum albums obtained, but if you calculate it in terms of sales, this ranking will change a lot.

Polygram is still the undisputed first hegemon, but the second position obviously belongs to Huaxing.

Because Chen Lang's second record won the second platinum in the Hong Kong record sales chart, Anita Mui's first record also won 4 platinum, and the two of them combined have 11 platinum records, which is still a big gap from Polygram, but it will definitely blow up EMI and CBS Xinli (Sony).

This is why even though there are only three singers who have signed and released records on Huaxing Records, everyone still sees them as the strongest challengers to PolyGram Records.

There are also 22 records that have been certified as Gold Records.

The record company with the most gold records is undoubtedly still the overlord Polygram.

Teresa Teng alone contributed three gold records (these three records are all Chinese records, with the influence of Asian song queens, four Chinese records have been released, only one has been platinum certified, and the other three are only gold records, which can also be seen that Cantonese songs are still popular in Hong Kong, but only Asian singers can sing Chinese songs and get gold records. )

There are also two records of Ou Ruiqiang, one record of Zhong Zhentao and a gold record of Polygram Stars Singing, and Polygram also has 7 of the 22 gold records.

In second place is Hong Kong's local Eternal Record Company, Zhen Ni (originally signed with Eternal Records, and later created her own Golden Note Records), Zhang Delan, Li Baoying and Feng Li (chorus), Long Jiansheng and Mei Xueshi (chorus) teamed up to contribute four gold records to Eternity.

followed by Cai Fenghua, Xu Xiaofeng and a star record under CBS Xinli (Sony), which won three gold record certifications.

Tied for fourth is Entertainment and Popularity, which both won two gold records, the two gold records of Entertainment are still from Zheng Shaoqiu and Wang Mingquan, and the two records of Fengxing Records are from Xi Xiulan and a multi-person singing record.

In the end, there are four record companies tied for fifth, namely Huaxing, EMI, Golden Note and Warner, and TVB's Stars, EMI Stars, Jenny and Du Lisha have each obtained a gold record certification for their respective companies.

The singers who can come to the awards ceremony are either sure that they have won the award, or they are here to be performers or award presenters to show their faces and brush up their popularity, so everyone has a harvest after the awards ceremony, and everyone is happy.

This year's Golden Disc Awards Ceremony is mainly to reward singers who performed well last year, and it can be clearly seen that the protagonists tonight are still the older generation of singers, and last year's new generation of singers can only be regarded as small lotus, and the music scene still belongs to the older generation.

However, since 1983 this year, the best performance is the new generation of singers, especially the strongest five, everyone has performed very strongly, Cai Fenghua and Zhang Delan have also performed well, while the older generation of singers are worse in comparison.

This year is definitely a watershed moment for the Hong Kong music scene, and the transition period between the old and the new is coming to an end.

After the award ceremony, Teresa Teng and Xu Guanjie found Chen Lang.

"Lang Lang, in the second half of the year, I may have a concert and a tour all over Asia, and then you will be my guest performer at the concert in Hong Kong, and then I will fly to Japan, you have to take care of yourself." Teresa Teng looked at Chen Lang, who was holding a gold record, and said with some sadness.

"Of course you can, and don't worry, Sister Jun, I will take care of myself, and before you go to Japan, I will give you a gift for you to practice." Chen Lang saw Teresa Teng's reluctance, and in order not to increase this parting sorrow, he had to say with a smile.

Teresa Teng's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she obviously guessed Chen Lang's gift.

"Lang Lang, I will have a concert in the near future, and you will also come to help when the time comes." Xu Guanjie said with a smile, "Also, I have officially signed a contract with Kang Yi Chengyin, but the contract time is only 1 year. ”

Chen Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this, obviously Xu Guanjie remembered the agreement with himself.
