ps: Brothers and sisters, it's amazing, now there are only eighteen monthly passes, and it's still far from the goal!
When you get the master tape in your hands, you have to copy it, and at the same time, the publicity work also needs to keep up, although you got the master tape in late September, and when it comes to the time when you want to release the film, it is already early October, and this speed is good. ()
Polygram is shameless, Chen Jin now does not say that he has a big brother in the Hong Kong music scene, that is, in the Japanese music scene, he also has an appeal beyond imagination, except for the short time to develop there, but the results are envied and hated by all Japanese singers.
Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau are both releasing films in Japan for the first time, although the two of them have a little popularity over there because of the relationship between Cantonese films, but compared with Chen Jinyi, it is really a bit miserable.
Therefore, after Andy Lau's single disc came out in the later stage, Polygram made his record as fast as possible, and prepared to let him release it with Jacky Cheung.
Jacky Cheung's energy alone may not be enough, now that the two of them are together, you Chen Jin are embarrassed not to help, that little abacus is fine, even if Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau know what that means, but for the sake of results, Chen Jin also knows Polygram's thoughts, but for the sake of friendship, everyone has to work hard temporarily.
However, this approach, with too obvious traces of conspiracy, left a bad impression in the hearts of Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau, and I am also grateful to Chen Jin's attitude, he can completely ignore this kind of deliberate digging pit to make him jump, Jacky Cheung and the two of them can't say anything, each is his own master, not to mention that Chen Jin has worked hard to help them make the record before.
Of course, they don't understand Chen Jin's mind, Chen Jin's mind is in Japan, these small entanglements are just a trivial matter for this big goal, and since he wants him to help, it is reasonable to knock on a small stroke, anyway, taking money has nothing to do with Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau.
Besides, help with publicity, the better the sales, and the money he, the producer and songwriter, will get indispensable, although it is like a cloud for him!
The publicity went very smoothly, and in three days, Jacky Cheung's record single disc first exceeded 100,000 copies, and Andy Lau's was a little worse, but it also had a number of close to 90,000 copies, which was just half a day or two hours of shipments for Chen Jin's "Departure" single disc.
But for Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau, this is a big surprise, the price of a Japanese single disc is about the same as the price of a Hong Kong album, after the exchange rate is converted, it is between 120 and 150 Hong Kong dollars, and now Chen Jin's is more expensive, for example, the price of "Departure" is as high as 180 Hong Kong dollars.
The price is about the same, but there are only two songs, and what does the sales of 100,000 copies represent, it is a double platinum in Hong Kong, in other words, even with the popularity of Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau, it is not easy to release a record in Hong Kong with such results.
Now it is very easy to reach, and these 100,000 tickets are only three days, if the future is possible, according to the estimate, 300,000 is certain, and 500,000 is still hopeful.
Think about it, six platinum and ten platinum are such great things, in Hong Kong, it is something that can only be found in dreams, the problem, this is still a single disc, it is not effortless, but there is such a good price, no wonder Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau were excited when they got on the plane and heard the sales data.
After Chen Jin got on the plane, he was thinking about a very strange thing that happened in Hong Kong yesterday -- the release of Wang Zuxian's Mandarin-Cantonese mixed album. ..., Actually, this disc was also just prepared, originally prepared to be released at the beginning of the month, but it happened to run into Jacky Cheung and their affairs, so they planned to wait for Chen Jin to come back and then arrange it, but I didn't expect that yesterday, Wang Zuxian suddenly held a press conference for new products, and what is even more shocking is that Chen Zichen attended the press conference for the first time as the boss of Jin Chen's records, which was also her first stop on stage.
Chen Jin felt that there was a problem here, Chen Zichen and Wang Zuxian seemed to be waiting for him to leave, and then they immediately did it, as if they didn't want him to participate in Wang Zuxian's new album press conference, but if there is a topic, how can they be avoided, those paparazzi will only have more sensational topics to hype, who are they, they are doing this.
Chen Jin hadn't found any clues before, he was very curious about what was going on in the middle, not to mention anything else, just this matter, the tacit understanding between the two people, something must have happened between Chen Zichen and Wang Zuxian.
After Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau got on the plane, they were chatting about how to make a big difference in the future, and they didn't notice Chen Jin's state at first, and after talking for a while, they wondered why Chen Jin, who usually likes to make trouble, didn't speak, and then realized that this guy really looked at the clouds outside the window and didn't know what he was thinking.
Jacky Cheung patted him first and said with a smile: "What do you think, you seem to be very distressed, do you see that the two of us have such good grades, I'm afraid that we will rob you of your job." ”
If you can't think of it, you don't want to, just wait a little time to go back and torture these two little girls, or, as long as the two of them are still happy, he doesn't bother to care about what happened, and some women's secrets don't have to know.
Turning his head with a smile and pursing his lips, "Look at the two of you who are proud, and you have great ambitions, I think you two should learn Japanese first, so as not to let me be your translator all the time, you are not ashamed, I am still tired." ”
"I just said that this kid is fine, I don't know how much bad is hidden in my heart?" Andy Lau said from Jacky Cheung, "Look at how ruthless he is, I was happy for a while, and I made him heartbroken." ”
Jacky Cheung smiled, but he hugged Chen Jin's shoulder, "To be honest, how about you send one in two months, and we send one in two and three months, you are the best at this thing, we really rely on you." ”
"What's the benefit?" Chen Jin raised his eyebrows, "If not, forget it, this first time I hurt the great vitality, you two guys are too stupid, I might as well send two more tickets myself." ”
"Go, you kid don't have anything, even there are several beautiful women, and you want benefits from our two poor boys, are you embarrassed." Andy Lau snorted twice, "Besides, the two of us don't have anything to offer, unless we both sell it to you." ”
Chen Jin hehe, "Well, yes, if you sell it to me, I can consider sending one to the two of you for two months to try, anyway, are they all my own people?" This is not subtle, but this is also the words of Liu Tianwang, and the two of them inevitably have some tacit understanding.
Actually, Chen Jin is not reluctant to help Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau, but he is really unwilling to work hard to make wedding dresses for others, not to mention that it is still for Polygram, a company that has a little holiday with him.
No matter how hard Jacky Cheung and they work hard, they will definitely not get more than 15 percent, or even only about 12 percent, this is still their status, and more of them are taken away by Polygram Records, of course, Chen Jin will also have a part, but it is still a small head.
Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau glanced at each other, but they didn't think that Chen Jin meant to deliberately coerce each other, everyone is an old friend, it's just to better consider their own interests, Chen Jin lest they have any concerns, and simply said, "Don't worry about liquidated damages or anything, this thing will be earned back soon, not to mention, if you want to terminate the contract now, they don't have much to do." ..., there were still people sitting in front of the high-level of Polygram, Andy Lau pulled him first, "Okay, you kid wants to kill us, let's talk about this matter after this year." Although Chen Jin has never said anything that has been filed, whether it is from the perspective of interests or friendship, Jin Chen Records is the best choice.
In the past, Jin Chen's records were too small, but now it's not so simple, not to mention the hardware equipment, which is the best in Hong Kong, since the last announcement of the "newcomer plan", Jin Chen's records have expanded a lot, and it is also a big record company in Hong Kong.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Jin's influence is the most irresistible, how to say, the code name of king may not represent anything, and the word that can really represent him may be the "godfather of music".
Chen Jin is a producer, songwriter and singer in one, and every item is so good, not to mention the rest, let's just say that in front of them, Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau wanted to release Japanese discs before, but they were really stimulated by the kind of sales that sold at least one million copies and more than four million copies at most.
But then again, Chen Jin's success does not mean their success, as evidenced by Hong Kong, Taiwan and many other places, and these places still have no great barriers to language and singing, and Japan, which is a completely foreign place.
But as a result, their results are naturally inferior to Chen Jin, but they are already very good, not to mention that this is still the beginning, and their popularity is slowly rising, and all this, it can be said that 80% of the credit is not an exaggeration for Chen Jin.
Lyrics, songwriting, producer, etc., as long as he helps you get a record, it basically represents success, what a temptation, although it can't be the case every time, but it's just a Japanese disc now, and it's a very good thing to be able to let him help.
But just like Chen Jin said, if he wants to have that kind of kung fu, it is better to send two more copies himself, old friends to old friends, once or twice, and every time to make wedding dresses for other record companies, no one is a moral master, and even if he is willing, Chen Zichen will definitely stop it in time.
The second half of Andy Lau's words has actually expressed some meanings ambiguously, Chen Jin didn't understand, and glanced at Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau with a smile, the three of them have a tacit understanding of hehele!
When he went to Japan, Chen Jin really didn't think about digging the foot of Polygram's wall, it seemed that it was still two big pillars.
This world is so cruel, since you are the first year of junior high school, don't blame others for doing fifteen, not to mention, it is still against Chen Jin, Universal and Huaxing know that they are obedient, Polygram has been rampant in the Hong Kong music scene for too long, and the No.1 position is hot, so he has developed such an arrogant atmosphere.
Whether a record company is strong or not, the number of its super brands is a very important criterion, Jin Chen Records has Chen Jin, so it has today's scale and prestige, but it is not enough, one person is too thin, since Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau are willing to pass the file, it is naturally the best, and it is also an important step for Jin Chen Records to officially grow.
Chen Jin is not worried about what Polygram will do to him, what can he do, and he is not even afraid of what all the record companies will do to him, and now Polygram is not the target of public criticism, but he still lives a very nourishing life, this is strength.
However, Chen Jin will not deliberately provoke conflicts with other record companies, perhaps, for the time being, others do not have the strength to make him want to provoke trouble, Liming is still Polygram's, but it's okay for him to stay there, after Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau left, he became Polygram's first brother, and the development must not be bad, and he will have the opportunity to talk about it again in the future.
Aaron Kwok is now a person from Taiwan's Rolling Stone Records, he can come over if he wants to, if he doesn't, Chen Jin will not deliberately dig people, just let it be, not to mention, too many big names are at home, and they are also bothered, although they are old friends, sometimes some things are not too easy to do. ..., Wang Zuxian's sudden release of the film not only surprised Chen Jin, but also surprised the media, under normal circumstances, before the star release, there should be a period of warm-up, so that everyone can understand the situation of this release in more detail, listen to the chorus of some of the title songs in the record, maybe add some hype or something, only when everything is ready, there will be better results when it comes to market sales.
Of course, Wang Zuxian has enough popularity, whether it is a movie or "Love Hotel", which is about to enter the finale, she has always been at the forefront of the attention of the Hong Kong public, and the attention she has received is naturally very unusual.
However, this time, the media's eyes are always focused on Chen Jin, the producer of her record and the songwriter of all the songs, and the ambiguous relationship between Chen Jin and her.
Coincidentally, Chen Jin went to Japan to promote the new album with Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau as producers two days ago, which seems a little unreasonable, after all, Wang Zuxian signed the record to Jin Chen Records, and Chen Jin is also a person from Jin Chen Records, and he is also the producer of Wang Zuxian's record, so many identities are enough for him to stay and help his peers.
Regardless of whether Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau are old friends of Chen Jin, they are always Polygram's people, and Miss Wang Zuxian is not only a person from Jin Chen's records, but also Chen Jin's "close comrade-in-arms".
So, for the sake of jobs and interests, the entertainment reporters are like sharks that smell blood, and they all pop up all at once.
