Chapter 358: The moon is bright and the stars are scarce
It has been two weeks since Xu Guanjie's Red Pavilion concert, and the popularity of the concert seems to have just dissipated.
Chen Lang and Chen Baiqiang sang a song together, and the two were also full of tacit understanding, plus the two had always been good friends before, and the general public no longer believed the report that the two turned against each other.
As a result, media reports of the conflict between the two have disappeared, but the debate over who can win the top 10 most popular male singers has persisted.
During this period, Chen Baiqiang's "I Like You" successfully achieved six consecutive championships on the Hong Kong album list, and its popularity and influence further exploded, and there was already a trend of suppressing Chen Lang, creating a terrifying momentum for him in the upcoming major award ceremonies.
"Chen Baiqiang, the leader of Hong Kong's new generation of singers, achieved a great achievement last week, winning six consecutive championships on the Hong Kong album list, and his momentum is unmatched for a while, but Chen Lang, who has always been considered the new generation of flag bearers, has disappeared, and seems to dare not show up, unwilling and afraid to face Danny's strong results." -- Sing Tao Daily
Chen Lang still doesn't care about this, even if some media say that Chen Lang is afraid and doesn't dare to show his head, Chen Lang is still just concentrating on his new record.
Fans were not in a hurry, they unanimously chose to believe in their idols, just waiting for Chen Lang's latest album to come out, and they will definitely overpower Chen Baiqiang when the time comes.
For Chen Lang's latest album, fans are full of expectations and confidence, this must be an original album that every song is a classic, it is absolutely not a problem to surpass Chen Baiqiang, and at the same time, fans are also working hard to make this record have a better result, at least surpassing Chen Baiqiang's "I Like You".
When the fans were gearing up, Chen Lang had just come out of the recording studio and had just finished recording the tenth song of the record, and Chen Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Walking into Huaxing's conference room, Chen Lang picked up the lunch that Chen Shufen bought and ate it, he was really hungry after recording all morning.
"Lang Lang, how is the recording?" Chen Shufen added a piece of fish to Chen Lang and asked.
"There are still two songs left, and the production should be completed by the end of the month, and the official release on August 1 should be no problem." Chen Lang said while eating.
"That's good." Chen Shufen laughed when she heard this, and handed Chen Lang something again, "Lang Lang, this is the share of your last record "Lang Cai Girl". ”
Chen Lang immediately took it when he heard this, and he was even happier when he saw the numbers on it.
"This time, "Lang Cai Girl" sold 310,000 copies in Hong Kong, 710,000 copies in Taiwan, Southeast Asian countries combined with the highest sales, reaching 850,000 copies, and Japan's sales also increased compared to the second record, this time it received 720,000 copies, Lang Lang, your fame in Japan now is definitely only this to Teresa Teng, and South Korea has also created the highest sales record of 150,000 copies, and all the sales add up to a total of 2.74 million copies.
310,000 pieces in Hong Kong, each divided into 12 yuan, a total of 3.72 million Hong Kong dollars, and the sales outside Hong Kong are a total of 2.43 million pieces, each of which is divided into 7.2 Hong Kong dollars, a total of 17.496 million Hong Kong dollars, but after deducting some taxes in various countries and regions, what you can get is 1487.16 Hong Kong dollars, and the final sum is 18.5916 million Hong Kong dollars.
I believe that among all the singers now except Teresa Teng, you are the most profitable, and the sales of 2.74 million in the whole of Asia are absolutely outstanding, and I even suspect that your sales have surpassed Teresa Teng, and a record has gained wealth that countless people can't get in a lifetime. ”
Chen Lang was proud and sighed when he heard this, a record can make a profit of nearly 15 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really incredible.
Of course, this mainly depends on the sales of records, and it is definitely an amazing achievement to be able to obtain nearly 3 million sales, even if Xu Guanjie, the current first brother in the Hong Kong music scene, the sales of a record in the whole of Asia are probably about 1 million.
Chen Baiqiang, who is now extremely strong, should be less than 800,000 in the whole of Asia, so the figure of 2.74 million is too amazing, but I don't know if Teresa Teng's records have sold more.
The 80s and early 90s were the golden age of the music market, during which the economy of the entire Asian region picked up, and the economies of many countries and regions entered a stage of rapid development, especially the Asian Tigers, which resounded all over the world.
The recovery of the economy means that basically everyone has solved the problem of food and clothing, and at the same time, everyone's purchasing power has been increasing, so many people are willing to pursue spiritual satisfaction, so there will be Hong Kong records and movies that became popular in Asia throughout the 80s and early 90s.
Chen Lang is undoubtedly one of the many beneficiaries, and even Chen Lang thinks that if he is short of money in the future, he will release a record and become a multimillionaire in an instant.
The popularity of the music market has made many singers with great popularity and strong market appeal terrifying, which is why major record companies are willing to spend a lot of money to sign superstar singers.
"By the way, Sister Chen, is it troublesome to hold a concert?" Chen Lang happily put away the check and asked.
"Concert? Lang Lang, do you want to have a concert? Chen Shufen's eyes lit up when she heard this.
The concert is definitely a weapon to make money, and it is also a manifestation of a singer's popularity and appeal.
"Yes, it was great to attend Sam's concert last time, and I thought about when I would have a concert." Chen Lang thought of the crazy scene in the Red Pavilion and yearned for it.
"It takes a lot of time to prepare for a concert, and everything is complicated, but we have already held many concerts in Huaxing, and there will be absolutely no problems." Chen Shufen said confidently.
Before Huaxing signed a singer, what he had always done was to host concert activities for people, which can be described as very familiar.
"I'm talking about the kind that has 30 shows in a row." Chen Lang knew that Chen Shufen might have thought that he would end after only five games.
"Thirty in a row?" Chen Shufen gasped when she heard this, which was really unexpected by her.
As far as Chen Shufen is concerned, there are generally only a few concerts held now, and more than ten concerts are rare.
Because concerts in the early '80s weren't popular, and fans weren't as crazy as they are now, everyone was worried that if there were only half of the audience, it would be ugly.
In the final analysis, the concert is an activity for singers to interact with fans, but it is also a means for record companies to make money.
Seeing Chen Shufen's surprised expression, Chen Lang was happy, "But I don't have time now, I have to promote the record after I record it, and then I have to make a movie, it seems that I can only talk about it when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
After Chen Lang finished eating, he went into the recording studio again and continued to record his latest album with Gu Jiahui.
In the end, after 20 days of hard work, the twelve songs in the record were finally recorded, and when Chen Lang breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Jiahui was still doing the post-production, and then sent to the record factory to make records, and finally completed this "Moonlight Star" at the end of July.
