Chapter 487: Open

Thank you for the great tip!

---------------------

The 6th Commercial Radio Chinese Song Awards Ceremony will be held on 10 January at the Hung Hom Sports Centre in Hong Kong.

The 7th Top 10 Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony will be held on 15 January at the Hung Hom Sports Centre in Hong Kong.

The 2nd Top 10 Golden Melody Awards Ceremony will be held on January 20 at the Hung Hom Sports Centre in Hong Kong.

After the official announcement of the awards dates of the three major awards ceremonies in Crazy January, the already lively media hype and predictions have been intensified, and countless people are eagerly waiting for January 1985 to arrive as soon as possible.

The singers hope to win the grand prize at the ceremony and increase their popularity and influence.

Major record companies hope that their singers will win awards in the ceremony, and they can bring more benefits to themselves after being plated with a layer of dazzling gold.

Celebrities and Hong Kong sisters hope to appear in the ceremony and maintain their exposure and presence.

Fans hope that their idols will be able to kill all sides at the ceremony and prove the popularity and strength of their idols.

The media hoped that the ceremony would be swept or upset and that they would make a fortune.

Citizens also hope that the ceremony will come, pass the time of boredom, entertain and relax.

The three major awards ceremonies in the Hong Kong music scene have become a major footnote to the national carnival, which can be described as highly anticipated and looked forward to by the whole Hong Kong.

It is worth mentioning that the three award ceremonies will be held at the Hung Hom Sports Centre in Hong Kong.

This multi-functional venue, which was extremely important in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in its previous life, is walking on its own legendary road, and Chen Lang, who had the idea of holding a concert, also aimed at this red hall that countless singers dreamed of in his previous life.

The three major award ceremonies are getting closer and closer, and the competition in the music world is still fierce.

Alan Tam's "The Roots of Love" officially broke through 350,000 copies at the end of December, setting his own record for the highest single record sales and the second highest single record sales in the music industry this year.

At the same time, with a total of 660,000 copies of the two albums "Foggy Love" and "The Root of Love", Alan Tam has become the singer with the highest record sales in Hong Kong this year.

Polygram immediately played the title of "Hong Kong's annual sales champion", building momentum for Alan Tam in the upcoming three major award ceremonies.

Major media have also reported on it, clamoring that Alan Tam will defeat Chen Lang and win the Most Popular Male Singer Award.

Faced with such a situation, LL Records naturally responded quickly.

In addition to promoting the 370,000 copies of "Rolling Smoke" and the "King of Single Record Sales of the Year", Chen Shufen finally revealed to the media the sales of "Rolling Smoke" throughout Asia.

3.51 million copies, the annual Asian sales champion of Hong Kong singers.

In addition, "Rolling Smoke" also achieved the highest sales of Cantonese records in Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.

This record is not just this year, but the highest record in all history, and Chen Lang has become the king of Cantonese record sales in all three places.

"Hong Kong's King of Single Album Sales of the Year"

"The King of Cantonese Record Sales in Korea"

"The King of Cantonese Record Sales in Japan"

"The King of Cantonese Record Sales in Taiwan"

"Hong Kong Singer of the Year Asian Sales King"

As soon as the title of the five annual kings came out, the entire Xiangjiang was shaken.

Countless people were shocked and envious of Chen Lang's amazing sales.

Many media have also rebelled undisciplinedly, claiming that there is only one king in the entire Hong Kong music scene, and that is Chen Lang, and others are not worth mentioning compared to Chen Lang.

In the face of such an unfavorable situation, Polygram will naturally not be without resistance.

Soon, many media claimed that the three major award ceremonies belonged to Hong Kong, and the main basis was still the achievements made in Hong Kong.

Although Chen Lang's "Smoke Rolling" has indeed sold impressively throughout Asia, it cannot be used as a standard for the three major award ceremonies to measure singers.

In the case of only looking at Hong Kong's results, Alan Tam's performance is on par with Chen Lang.

Whether Chen Lang won the Most Popular Male Singer Award for a second consecutive year, or a new king of the music world, everything is still unknown.

After this argument came out, the media, fans, and citizens were naturally divided into three factions, one group supported Alan Tam, the other group supported Chen Lang, and the last group was not a big crowd of onlookers.

The media and fans spent countless pen and ink and saliva on the competition between Chen Lang and Alan Tam, making the showdown between the two the biggest attraction and suspense in January, and making the three major award ceremonies yet to come even more exciting.

At the same time, the sales of Xu Guanjie's "Favorite You" exceeded 3 platinum, and 180,000 copies have been sold.

I still remember the battle between Xu Guanjie and Chen Lang in 1982, and the sales of 180,000 were reached in only two and a half weeks, but now it takes a month, and the metabolism of the music industry is really unstoppable.

However, this result is already outstanding among the older generation of singers this year, in addition to being slightly worse than Lin Zixiang and Zhen Ni, Xu Guanjie is already the best performing veteran singer in terms of sales, and LL Records is also very satisfied with this result.

Zhenni's "Charming May" finally received the five-platinum certification at the end of December, and the sales officially exceeded 250,000 copies, becoming the best-selling female singer so far this year.

Anita Mui, who released her latest album "Leaping Stage" in mid-December, also received her third platinum album two weeks later, with 150,000 copies sold, and is catching up with Jenny in front of her.

Time flies, and in everyone's anxious waiting, time has officially entered 1985, and Crazy January has officially arrived.

After a week of hard work, Xue Tianlan finally sold the broadcast rights of the cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" produced by the animation team of LL Film Company, and it was ATV who bought the broadcast rights.

In the process of promoting to the two TV stations, Xue Tianlan obviously felt that the two TV stations did not pay enough attention to it, and it could even be said that it was contemptuous.

The most obvious performance is wireless, which has not shown any interest from beginning to end, and has not even offered an offer, but just looked at it for a few minutes and rejected it directly.

Nowadays, comics are very popular in Hong Kong, but on the contrary, cartoons have not been taken seriously, unlike Japan, where anime produced after the popularity of comics can also set off a frenzy of ratings, and the connection between comics and anime is very close.

But in Hong Kong, the two are completely torn apart, perhaps also related to the immaturity of the Hong Kong animation industry, which is still in the stage of comics first, and it is still difficult for animation to be widely accepted in Hong Kong.

Just like many animated films, they can get a high box office in Europe, America and Japan, especially in Japan, the top few of the box office are occupied by Japan's own animated films, and live-action movies are completely invincible to animated films.

Hong Kong is just the opposite, animated films in Hong Kong at this time could not sell at all, all live-action movies in the world.

At the same time, the ratings of wireless have always been very high, and the main audience is between the ages of 16 and 40, and the children's viewing group has not attracted attention in many countries and regions at this time, just as the female consumer group has also not received global attention.

In TVB's view, playing cartoons will not have high ratings at all, and it is more safe to broadcast TV episodes shot by their own company, so TVB simply refused.

Also not optimistic about ATV, although ATV's personnel are much more polite, and they watched an episode of animation seriously, but they are also not very interested.

However, the situation of ATV at this time is not very good, although after Qiu Degen took over, a lot of adjustments were made to ATV, and the TV station gradually wiped out the loss, but the ratings have still been suppressed by wireless.

Except for the adaptation of "Xun Qin", which gave ATV a taste of soaring ratings and the feeling of being on an equal footing with TVB, other variety shows and movie series are still no better.

At this time, Hong Kong's TV stations can cause a ratings frenzy is the filming of TV series and the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, as well as major award ceremonies.

However, the awards ceremony and beauty pageant are only temporary, and only TV series can be broadcast every day, so the focus of the competition between the two is still on TV series.

What TV series is the hottest? Of course, it is an adaptation of Jin Yong's martial arts novel masterpiece.

It is worth mentioning that the Gu Long novel, which is as famous as Jin Yong, was adapted into a TV series, and the ratings in Hong Kong at this time were very low, and several TV series adapted from Gu Long novels were cut in half.

What is unfavorable to ATV is that Shao Daheng and Jin Yong have a good personal relationship, so Jin Yong gave all the adaptation rights of his thirteen martial arts masterpieces to TVB, and only one short story "Yue Nu Sword" is not easy to adapt, and then sold to ATV.

In costume martial arts dramas, ATV is at a disadvantage in an all-round way, but fashion dramas at this time are not popular, so they can only shoot costume dramas.

Without Jin Yong's novels, Gu Long's novels don't work, and in the end, I can only find novels adapted by other martial arts masters, but there is too much difference in popularity and expectations, and ATV can only be struggling to support.

ATV, which is now in a predicament, encountered a cartoon that took the initiative to come to the door, and more importantly, the purchase cost is very low, and ATV has increased the ratings, and the cost of each episode of the TV episode is higher than that of wireless, basically around 20,000.

At present, 200 episodes of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are only 5,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and they can be piloted for two weeks, and if the ratings are too low, they can be directly not paid.

So the director of ATV finally agreed, and promised to wait until the first day of the Lunar New Year to officially broadcast at 6 p.m.

This time is not the eighth o'clock time of the golden ratings segment, but as long as it can be released, so in the end, the two sides reached a final agreement.

Xue Tianlan is actually very optimistic about cartoons, but it is difficult to say in Hong Kong at this time, but after his little boss proposed that he could try it for free for two weeks, Xue Tianlan was puzzled but still confident that he could do it, and finally completed his task.

In fact, 5,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode is not earned at all, but Chen Lang has never thought of making money from this cartoon, and the bulk of the money is still around various animations, which is a steady stream of wealth.

Therefore, after ATV agreed to play the cartoon, Chen Lang immediately notified the factory to start production of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

As for the fact that two weeks after the broadcast, the cartoon was cut, Chen Lang was also not worried.

The experience of the previous life at least shows that this cartoon has merit, and although there is a gap of 30 years, it should not be wrong for children to like to watch cartoons.

After processing the cartoon, the long-awaited January 10th is also officially coming, and Crazy January is officially opened.
