Chapter 290: Signing
The first rookie singing contest officially ended, and Shao Daheng personally took the stage to present the award to the final champion Anita Mui.
In addition to winning the final championship bonus, Anita Mui is most happy to be able to get a contract with Huaxing Records, so that she will become the younger sister of her idol Chen Lang.
Obtaining a contract with Huaxing Records can undoubtedly temporarily alleviate the family's predicament, and at the same time, if he develops well, he may be able to become a big star, so that he can earn enough money to subsidize his family.
And being able to belong to the same company as her idol and become a brother and sister makes Anita Mui full of expectations for a better life in the future.
The day after the competition, major media reported on it on a large scale, and several top-ranked rookie singers received great attention, of course, the most attention must be the champion Anita Mui.
Wireless and Huaxing are also actively promoting to build momentum for their championships.
Since childhood, her family was in difficulty, and when she was very young, she and her sister performed on stage in the family song and dance troupe, shaping Anita Mui into an independent, never-giving up, and tenacious grassroots hero.
At the same time, at the end of the third week of June, just as the fourth week was approaching, the entire Hong Kong music scene was a sensation.
Because in this week, Xu Guanjie and Chen Lang both broke the Hong Kong record sales record of 367055 albums.
"Catchy" sold 367457 copies, Hui Guanjie raised the record by 1,184 copies, and the new Hong Kong record sales record came from 368239 albums of "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat".
At this time, the top three record sales records in the Hong Kong music scene were Xu Guanjie, Chen Lang and Asian singer Teresa Teng.
The media was enthusiastic about breaking the record sales record in Hong Kong.
The well-known music producer Lu Guozhen wrote an article in the Oriental Daily.
"Originally, it was just a media hype between the old and the new, but I didn't expect it to be so ups and downs, exciting, and the final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Ah Sam, who thought he would win easily, was suppressed by Chen Lang for four weeks before he used the phenomenal movie "Best Partner" to successfully turn the tables, and then maintained his advantage over Chen Lang, but he didn't expect the campus songs in "Catchy" to gain the attention of adult fans, and for a while, sales increased instead of falling, surpassing "Unforgettable You, Paper Boat" again.
At the same time, the total sales of the record have been successfully overtaken, and the gap between the two is extremely small, with the smallest sales gap only within 100 copies, compared to the sales data of both of them have exceeded seven platinums, it can be seen how exciting and fierce the competition between the two is.
In the end, Xu Guanjie, who has been galloping in the music industry for many years, relied on his profound heritage to turn over and surpass Chen Lang again, and with the record sales reaching the ninth week, it was no longer possible to sell sales in small Hong Kong, and finally this battle between the old and the new was settled.
What everyone didn't expect was the fierce competition between the two, and it was obvious that each other promoted the growth of each other's record sales, and when the victory and defeat were divided, they actually found that the two had broken the sales record of Hong Kong records, which added some legends to this wonderful collision.
The current Hong Kong is undoubtedly still the world of the older generation of singers led by Xu Guanjie and Teresa Teng, but with the emergence of more and more emerging idols like Lang Lang, Chen Baiqiang, Cai Fenghua and Alan Tam, the competition in the Hong Kong music scene will definitely become more intense.
This kind of fierceness will let us hear more classics, this kind of fierceness will let us see more duels, and this kind of fierceness will let us witness the glory of the music world. ”
"Ming Pao" also published Gu Jiahui's contribution "Golden Prosperity! ”
"With the rapid recovery and development of Hong Kong's economy, people's demand for entertainment will also increase, which will surely stimulate the rapid development of the entertainment industry and usher in a golden period of the entertainment industry.
The Hong Kong record market is undoubtedly part of the benefit, and this time Ah Sam and Lang Lang both broke the Hong Kong record sales record, which is definitely a landmark historical event in the Hong Kong music scene.
More and more new singers have poured into the Hong Kong music scene, and the long-established emperor superstar still has strong popularity and market appeal, and the duel between the old and the new is exciting, fierce and cruel.
One of the main proofs of the fierce competition among the singers is the surge in sales of their respective records.
Teresa Teng's record sales record was not just a four-month sales accumulation, but a total of sales in the past three years, and now Sam and Lang Lang can break Teresa Teng's record in just a few weeks, which shows that the Hong Kong record market is constantly expanding.
More and more international record giants have opened branches in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and many local record companies have sprung up in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and many singers with certain strength have also begun to set up their own record companies.
While these companies are mixed, the huge increase in the number of record labels is a testament to the boom in the record market.
At the same time, the increase in record labels indicates that more and more singers are needed, and with the number of top singers relatively fixed, singer talent shows such as the Asian Amateur Singing Contest and the Rookie Singing Contest have emerged.
More and more people at the bottom have the space to move up, get the opportunity to show their talents, and also let a large number of record companies get to be supplemented with talents, and then after training and packaging, they will join the highly competitive Hong Kong music scene and record market.
In the next few years, the number of record companies will increase, and there will be more and more talent shows, which will become more and more perfect, so that more new singers will join the Hong Kong music scene.
The Hong Kong music scene has ushered in its own golden era! ”
……
With "Catchy" breaking the Hong Kong record sales record, Chen Lang's momentum is rising again, he already has a very high popularity, and now it is even more prosperous, and no one will underestimate Chen Lang's status in the Hong Kong music scene.
At the same time, Pepsi took the opportunity to spend a huge amount of money on TVB and Li's TV station at the same time to start to launch Pepsi advertisements shot by Chen Lang, taking advantage of Chen Lang's rising popularity to bring Pepsi Cola into the eyes of many Chen Lang fans.
Originally, Pepsi was interested in Chen Lang's huge influence among young people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and now Chen Lang's huge exposure can be regarded as free publicity for Pepsi.
In just three weeks, PepsiCo's sales in Hong Kong have increased by 15 percent, which has basically caught up with Coca-Cola's sales in Hong Kong.
In Taiwan, although it is not as exaggerated as Hong Kong, it has also increased by three percentage points, after all, Taiwan is different from Hong Kong, and the results achieved cannot be as explosive as Hong Kong, and it will grow too much at once.
However, even this makes the head of Pepsi Asia very happy, this is only three weeks, I believe that with the growth of time, this data can grow a little more, Hong Kong may not grow much, but the sales in Taiwan are full of expectations.
And Qin Feng, Zheng Zhenkun's old friend who facilitated the signing of this contract, is now also clenched with his fists, because he has just come out of his boss's office and has been reassigned.
He was directly promoted from an assistant general manager to the head of Hong Kong and Taiwan, which of course is also related to Qin Feng's outstanding performance.
This time, Qin Feng took the initiative to sign Chen Lang and achieved immediate results, which was beyond the expectations of Qin Feng himself and everyone at Pepsi, plus the previous achievements, so that Qin Feng's promotion was achieved this time.
Qin Feng returned to his office, and after being excited for a while, he forced himself to calm down, looking at Chen Lang on the huge promotional poster of the rookie singing contest posted outside the office building, and thought to himself in his heart.
This is a rising star, and he is now well-known in Southeast Asia, Japan, and even South Korea.
If you want to make achievements in Asia, Pepsi needs a superstar in Asia, and Chen Lang has not yet become a superstar, even in Hong Kong, it may not be very convincing, but the potential and strength he has shown are very strong, and he is definitely one of the seeds that Pepsi needs to focus on.
Maybe he needs to cooperate further with Chen Lang to help each other, and cooperation will benefit both sides.
The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch.
When Chen Lang was out of school, he was picked up by Chen Shufen's special car, accompanied by Xu Fang, and the three of them sat down in a café.
"Sister Chen, is there anything to find me?"
The rookie singing contest has just ended, Chen Lang thought that Huaxing would be busy signing new singers, and he should be able to relax for a while, but he didn't expect Chen Shufen to find himself after school.
"First of all, congratulations on the success of the first Rookie Singing Contest, Lang Lang, your theme song and popularity played a very important role, and at the same time, congratulations on breaking the record sales record in Hong Kong, the company would like to express its heartfelt thanks to you." Chen Shufen said with a smile.
Chen Lang was speechless for a while when he heard this, could it be that he was thankful for bringing himself to drink a cup of coffee, rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Sister Chen, don't tease me, let's get down to business." ”
"You're getting boring kid." Chen Shufen scolded with a smile, "Today's main reason is to tell you that the company has signed the top three in this competition, and Anita Mui, Wei Qishan and Huang Ruling will be your junior sisters in the future." ”
"Only three people to sign? What about the others? Chen Lang was stunned when he heard this, there were twelve people who broke into the finals, and only three were signed, what does it mean?
"Although there are indeed many singers in the draft, some singers are obviously not suitable for the current company's situation.
Now the company needs artists who can quickly become popular in a short period of time, and take advantage of the momentum of the contest and the fact that you have just broken the sales record to continue to expand the results and seize the record market.
However, some contestants may be okay to sing, but considering factors such as appearance, personality, and development path, they are not suitable for releasing records at all, and the company's evaluation is not optimistic about them, so in the end, only three people were signed. ”
Chen Lang was thoughtful when he heard this, who said that if you get a good ranking, you can develop smoothly.
I think Zhang Weijian later won the championship of the third competition, but he was not able to release his own record at all, and the only song was sung with others in a selection.
The company has its own set of evaluation criteria for releasing records for singers, and whether it can be popular or not depends on the company's arrangement.
