Chapter 109: Selling Crazy
Chen Lang returned to his busy school life, busy reviewing the lessons he pulled down every day, and at the same time had to find time to write novels.
"Lang Lang, how was your first record recorded?" Chen Jianren suddenly leaned over and asked.
"Alas, don't say it. I used to think that recording a record would be difficult, but when I recorded it myself, I realized that it was not difficult at all, but too difficult, and thinking about singing a song all day and night was a serious test of my voice and physical strength.
What's even more difficult is to keep my emotions calm in the endless shouting of 'stop', otherwise I won't be able to meet the requirements at all, and now I've just recorded my first song, it's still early. "Chen Lang was afraid for a while when he mentioned the recording of the record, it was too torturous.
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to record a record, but the harder it is, the better the quality of the record. You don't know that everyone has been waiting for your record for a long time. I thought that if you won the Asian championship, you would sign a record with a record company, but I didn't hear that you signed a record company.
can make everyone anxious, and scold these record companies for having no brains and no vision. I didn't expect you to be already recording records, which record company did you sign with? Momoyo or Polydo? Chen Jianren said excitedly.
"It's Huaxing Records." Chen Lang looked at the excitement on Chen Jianren's face and said.
"Huaxing Records? Huaxing Records, a subsidiary of TVB? When did they start signing singers and artists? Chen Jianren was stunned when he heard Huaxing Records.
"I'm the first singer signed by Huaxing, but I only finished recording a song in two days, and I have to review my homework, so I am afraid it will be at least two months before the record is fully recorded." Chen Lang said helplessly.
"It's going to take another two months, that's a long time."
"No way, time is too tight. By the way, why haven't I seen Wang Chengling in the past few days since I came back, where did this kid go? Chen Lang looked at Wang Chengling's seat and asked suspiciously.
As a result, Chen Jian's brows furrowed when he heard this, "I don't know very well, but once after school, I saw that kid with a group of club people, he may have joined which club." ”
Chen Lang's face changed when he heard this, and he had already heard of Chen Lang, a community in Hong Kong, and the most famous ones may be New Ngee An and 14K. The Xiang brothers, the bosses of New Ngee An, are also well-known to the world for starting a film company, and Louis Koo and Stephen Chow were both members of New Ngee An.
Moreover, Hong Kong, like Taiwan, has a serious infiltration of the entertainment industry, of course, it may be mainly for money laundering. These clubs opened entertainment companies and raised a lot of big stars, but later these stars wanted to get rid of the control of the clubs, so there was a lot of friction between the two sides, and there were many famous incidents, and the contradictions between the two sides even caused an anti-black movement in the entire entertainment industry.
Chen Lang has always been worried that when he entered the entertainment industry in the 80s, he would probably have to deal with the club, but he didn't expect that his good friend would join the club now, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.
"In fact, Chen Jian was also forced to be helpless, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and he can't afford him to go to school, and he doesn't want to make it so difficult for his family, that's why it's like this." Chen Jian said with a depressed face.
"You can ask us for help if you are in trouble, everyone is a friend, and it is okay to help." Chen Lang frowned and said.
"Everyone is young, arrogant, no one wants to owe anyone, and they still want to earn everything they want by their own efforts." Chen Jian looked out the window and whispered.
"Damn self-esteem." Although Chen Lang said this, he also knew that young people have strong self-esteem and are reluctant to ask for help from others, especially classmates and friends, which will make them feel like dwarfs.
Wang Chengling's incident made Chen Lang's mood not high, and he was a little absent-minded even when talking to Tang Xiaomei. Later, Tang Xiaomei still listened to Chen Jian explain the reason for the matter, but she had nothing to do about it, Wang Chengling was obviously unwilling to accept everyone's help, so he would choose this path, which made those who wanted to help him helpless.
Tang Xiaomei could only accompany Chen Lang, hoping that Chen Lang could see a little, "Lang Lang, you can't help everyone." Unless you can have absolute power, more often than not, you can just watch and do nothing. ”
Chen Lang's heart moved when he heard Tang Xiaomei's words, and then he fell into deep contemplation, and he didn't come back to his senses until after school.
Chen Lang heard Manager Liu's laughter as soon as he entered the door after returning home from school, and it seemed that Manager Liu was in a good mood.
"Uncle Liu, you are in such a good mood today, is there any good news?" Chen Lang returned home and looked at the happy appearance of the family, feeling a little more comfortable.
"Hahaha...... You are truly my blessed star, the noble man of my life. When Manager Liu saw Chen Lang coming back, he immediately walked over and gave Chen Lang a big hug, and directly hugged Chen Lang and was stunned.
Manager Liu is definitely a sincere person, today he actually ran over and hugged himself excitedly, there must be some great news, the good news brought by Manager Liu must be the good news about the sales of the physical book "Zhu Xian".
"It seems that "Zhu Xian" is selling well." Chen Lang said with a smile.
"It's not just good, it's just crazy." Manager Liu immediately pulled Chen Lang to sit down and continued, "It's the end of May now, and it's been half a month since "Zhu Xian" was put on sale, but the 10,000 sets we were going to sell in Hong Kong have been sold out, and the 10,000 sets we prepared later have also been sold out, and now the publishing house has reprinted it for the third time." ”
"Third reprint? Isn't it just twice? Chen Lang wondered.
"The first 10,000 sets of reprinting were originally intended to be sold in Hong Kong, but on the third day after the official sale of "Zhu Xian" in Taiwan, Taiwan's booksellers called to print another 50,000 sets, and there was no choice but to supply all the books to Taiwan first, and then reprint, and then Southeast Asia also responded that the sales were very good, but only asked for 45,000 more copies, so it was the third time to reprint." Manager Liu seems to feel that Southeast Asia is selling less.
"Is Southeast Asia selling so well?" Chen Lang has some doubts about the sales in Southeast Asia.
"Originally, the sales in Southeast Asia could only be said to be average, but later, the major booksellers in Southeast Asia took out the video of your participation in the singing competition to promote it, attracting everyone's attention, and began to give you a large detailed report, including the birth of "Zhu Xian".
The most important thing is that Jin Yong praised this as a classic, and it made everyone have a great interest in "Zhu Xian", and then everyone was curious to read "Zhu Xian", which was reluctant to put down, so they were finally taken home, and since then sales have been rising. ”
Hearing this, Chen Lang sighed a little emotionally, with the recommendation of the great god, it is really unusual, the absolute golden signboard has brought huge popularity all of a sudden, "So how many sets have been sold in total now?" ”
"As of today, in half a month's sales, more than 12,000 sets have been sold in Hong Kong, more than 36,000 sets in Taiwan, and more than 40,000 sets in Southeast Asia, adding up to more than 88,000 sets, each set of five volumes, which means that "Zhu Xian" has now sold 440,000 copies."
"So much? Can 12,000 units be sold in Hong Kong? Chen Lang was also stunned when he heard the sales of 440,000 copies.
"In fact, it's not a lot, compared to Jin Yong's martial arts book sales, and there are a lot of piracy problems, which is really a headache." Manager Liu said that the pirated version was full of anger and helplessness, "Hong Kong sells so much thanks to your fans, some fans have money at home and buy ten sets and dozens of sets."
If a student from an ordinary family can't afford a set alone, all five people in a class buy a copy, and then go back to read it together, this is a set, and now your influence in the hearts of students is indeed extraordinary, plus many fans of novels who have already gone to work and have an economic foundation, so there are current sales.
And this is only half a month, I estimate that there is still half a month of peak sales, but after a month, I am afraid that sales will decline sharply, Hong Kong is so big, this is also a helpless thing. ”
