Chapter 469: Golden Record
Thank you for the great commuter pass of Oma 123!
--------------------------
The Golden Disc Awards Ceremony is likely to become history, Chen Lang was surprised and at the same time had a different mind.
The Golden Disc Awards Ceremony is the statistics of Hong Kong's local record sales, and its sales statistics are rigorous and true, which is highly recognized by the industry and can be regarded as an authority in the industry.
At the same time, it can also truly reflect the singer's ability to make money for the record company, so it is also favored by singers and record companies, which shows the importance and influence of gold records.
If this ceremony is suspended, it will undoubtedly be a big loss for the Hong Kong music scene, and it will be missing an important indicator of the quality of singers, and it will also be bad for major record companies.
However, the contradictions accumulated by the two sides seem to be difficult to eliminate, and the Golden Record has been held for eight years, and its influence in the Hong Kong music scene cannot be underestimated, but it still cannot sweep away these difficulties, which shows the great difficulty.
Chen Lang didn't want to take over the right to hold the Golden Record Awards Ceremony, because he didn't have the ability and influence at all, Chen Lang valued the six major records of Hong Kong and Kowloon that provided data support for the Golden Record Awards Ceremony.
Chen Lang is about to set up a record company, although he and Xu Guanjie and Zhen Ni are in charge, it is not a problem to gain a firm foothold, but in the Hong Kong music scene with an expanding market and increasingly fierce competition, it is not easy to become one of the record companies of Hong Kong giants.
Hong Kong Polygram Records is backed by Polygram, an international giant, Huaxing has two major weapons, the rookie singing contest and wireless, plus several other international giant record companies, none of them are easy to match, although Chen Lang has the ability to be a prophet, but if he fights for strength, he may not be the opponent of others.
Therefore, Chen Lang feels that while discerning people and enhancing the company's hard power, it is also necessary to enhance its soft power, and it is definitely a good choice to have a sales statistics agency recognized by the industry and a professional best-selling music magazine.
At this time, due to the continuous prosperity of the music scene in Hong Kong, many mainstream music magazines have appeared in the market, including "New Era", "Good Times", "Pop Victory", "100 Points", "Discjockey", etc., as well as countless TV entertainment magazines.
Therefore, it is very difficult for Chen Lang to get involved in music magazines and make a name for himself and expand his influence, but if there is the backing of the dismantling of the records of Hong Kong Kowloon and Kowloon, this problem will be solved.
As long as the Hong Kong album list, which has attracted everyone's attention and influenced the choice of many fans, is published in the magazine, it will definitely attract many people to buy it.
Although it is inevitable that everyone and peers will be suspicious, but the current record statistics are still very real, and it is impossible to fake them, so the magazine may be suspicious, but the authenticity of the content will not make everyone feel doubtful, so it will no longer be difficult to expand the company's influence and strength.
"Good evening to the audience in front of the TV and in the audience, and welcome to the 8th Hong Kong Golden Disc Awards."
When Chen Lang was still looking down and thinking, the Golden Record Awards Ceremony Gala had already begun.
"1983 was a glorious year for the Hong Kong music scene, in the past year, the Hong Kong music scene gave birth to a total of 26 platinum records, 11 gold records, the total annual record sales increased by 8% compared with last year, and record sales in 1984 are still visible to the naked eye
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) see the speed of growth, the future of the Hong Kong music scene will inevitably be more brilliant. ”
"1983 is a memorable year for the Hong Kong music scene, in the past year, the new generation of singers represented by Chen Lang has risen strongly, and the new generation of singers has begun to become the protagonists of the Hong Kong music scene."
"The Hong Kong music scene in 1983 was a year of breaking countless records, with first-day/single-day sales records, first-week/single-week sales records, total single-record sales records, and so on.
When the host made the opening speech, Leslie Cheung finally arrived at the scene, although his expression was slightly tired, but his eyes were full of energy.
"Lang Lang, thank you for the good song you wrote for me." Leslie Cheung sat beside Chen Lang and said gratefully.
"We're all friends, so don't be polite." Chen Lang waved his hand and said.
"Hmm." Leslie Cheung nodded heavily when he heard this, and then began to look at the stage, unlike last year as a spectator, this year Leslie Cheung will definitely be a part of the Golden Disc Awards Ceremony.
"She's an amazing singer who made an amazing five-platinum album sales as soon as she debuted, she's an amazing singer who won an award as soon as she debuted, she's an amazing singer, she's amazing on stage."
Hearing the words of the award presenters, everyone turned their eyes to Chen Lang, and this evaluation was indeed very consistent with Chen Lang's amazing past.
"The winner of tonight's first platinum album is Anita Mui's "Red Anita Mui", congratulations to Amei."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, including Chen Lang and Anita Mui, everyone thought it was Chen Lang, but after thinking about Anita Mui's debut results, they all nodded secretly, no wonder everyone said that Anita Mui is the strongest newcomer second only to Chen Lang, only in terms of record sales and awards, Anita Mui is simply the female version of Chen Lang.
Anita Mui herself laughed, and then walked on the stage generously, at this time Anita Mui was no longer young, and her whole body exuded a confident light.
"Let the happiness unfold for me, and gather with you, it is lovely, try my best to gild the brilliance, but the bad luck is difficult to change because of you, the old dream, I hope you put aside the nostalgia of the old things, in vain, I beg you to let me dodge, knowing that I have no future, when the flying flowers want to fly piece by piece, the moment of parting will really not change, I hope that the sun will always shine for you, just like returning all the love, how many tears, how much joy turns into endless love, silently reminiscing about the past, putting away the affection one by one, and putting it in my heart......"
Looking at Anita Mui on the stage, Chen Lang nodded secretly, Anita Mui originally had good stage performance and singing skills because of the experience of often appearing on stage when she was a child, and now after more than two years of tempering, the record is more mature, and the singing voice is very recognizable.
What has made greater progress is the stage performance, although Anita Mui does not dance passionately, but she can still attract everyone's attention, and she shows her charming style between her gestures, no wonder she can become a sister in the future music world, and her superstar style has begun to appear.
Although the appearance of Anita Mui and others marks the perfection of the Hong Kong record industry system, singers are gradually packaged as idols by record companies, but their solid singing skills are no worse than those of the older generation of singers.
"I'm glad to get this platinum record, it shows that I'm still very profitable, at least I don't have to worry about being copied." Anita Mui said with a smile, "Of course, being able to get this record is inseparable from the strong support of all fans, thank you, I will continue to work hard to bring more to everyone."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page). ”
Anita Mui returned to her seat with the platinum record in her hand, and Leslie Cheung on the side stared at the platinum record trophy in Anita Mui's hand, her eyes full of expectation.
Anita Mui got off to a good start for Huaxing.
Subsequently, CBS/Xinli (Sony) won 2 taels of platinum gold records, one from Lin Zhimei's "Lin Zhimei", and one from CBS/Xinli Qunxing's "Xinli Qunxing Elite Episode 3".
However, as one of the five international giants, the Hong Kong branch of CBS obviously did not show the strong strength of the international giants in the competition for the record market in Hong Kong.
Xu Guanjie's "New Beginning" and Xu Xiaofeng's "Xu Xiaofeng's Concert Selection" won two cities for Kangyi Chengyin Records and won 2 platinum records.
Although the scale of Kangyi Chengyin is not large, it has the old king and queen of songs, so that no company dares to underestimate it, but now the renewal of Xu Guanjie's contract gives Kangyi Chengyin a headache.
Hong Kong's local record label Entertainment Records has been doing well for several years, and tonight won 3 platinum albums again, respectively from Zheng Shaoqiu's "Sandwich Man", Mak Jiewen's "Rhine Love" and Bao Cuiwei's 0 "I Only Have Expectations".
Warner Records, one of the other major international record labels, also won two platinum albums with "Chen Baiqiang" by Chen Baiqiang, the prince of melancholy, and "Love Story" by Lin Zixiang.
Ye Dexian's "Tired", Zhang Mingmin's "My Chinese Heart" and Zhang Delan's "See You Again" won 3 platinum records for Eternal Records.
Next up is PolyGram Records, the leader of the Hong Kong record market, with 11 platinum albums showing PolyGram's strength and domineering, leaving all other record companies in the dust.
The 11 platinum albums come from six singers and groups, of which Asian singer Teresa Teng alone owns 4 albums, "Walking on the Road of Life", "Teresa Teng's 15th Anniversary", "A Touch of Love" and "Teresa Teng's Selected Series 3".
Guan Zhengjie, one of the two heroes, scored twice, "Always in My Heart" and "Nature" won 2 platinum albums, and Alan Tam also won two yuan with "Late Spring" and "Foggy Love".
and Su Rui's "The Wrong Car Movie Soundtrack", Zhong Zhentao's "If There Is a Fate", and Wen Na Band's "Wen Na 10th Anniversary" also won the platinum record trophy.
"He is the most talented music creator in the history of the Hong Kong music scene, he is the strongest newcomer in the history of the Hong Kong music scene, he is the super idol who has broken and created the most records in the history of the Hong Kong music scene, he is the leader of the new generation of Hong Kong music scene, he is the superstar of the new generation of Hong Kong music scene."
As soon as the award speech of the award presenter was spoken, everyone looked at Chen Lang, and Chen Lang's fans on the scene and in front of the TV also chanted the name of their idol, and the whole scene now reverberated with two words "Lang Lang!" ”
The loud cheers made the award presenters have to stop the award presentation helplessly, knowing that the shouting stopped after a few minutes before they could continue.
"I believe everyone knows the singer who won the next award, I won't say more, he won a total of two platinum records, these two records are "Lang Cai Girl" and "Moonlight Star", of which "Moon Bright Star" is the most special, this platinum record has eight stars, each star represents a platinum certification, as a commemoration that it is one of the only three eight platinum records in Hong Kong so far."
