Chapter 259: Giving Advice
Han Jin smiled, "It's not difficult to set up a record company, all that is lacking is money and people." Mr. Mai, the movies made by Xinyicheng are selling well, and the money must be there. As for the singers, Mr. Hui Guanjie, Mr. Tam Tsz Lun, Mr. Lam Tsz Cheung, and Mr. Teddy Robin are all well-known musicians in the Hong Kong music scene. β
At the same time, they are also the red stars of film and television songs, and they also work closely with Xinyicheng. If they can sign their film contract and record contract at the same time, won't Xinyi City suddenly have many more red singers? And in doing so, it also maximizes the company's profits. β
"In fact, before Mr. Huang Baiming filmed "Happy Ghost", I had already built with him and handed over the theme song of the movie to the three girls in the play to sing. In this way, once the movie sells well at the box office, the company will not only have three new actresses, but also three new female singers. When the time comes, not only will you sell movies, but you can also launch movie soundtracks, which can also make money. β
"There are more than ten movies made in Xinyicheng every year, and each movie can produce a red star, and the theme song of the movie can produce a singer. Over the course of a year, there will be at least four or five red stars in Xinyi City. In less than two years, New Arts City will become a leader in the record industry. Han Jin said with a smile.
As soon as Mai Jia heard Han Jin say it in the slightest, every word went to her heart, and she couldn't help but drink all the red wine in front of her, "It's so cool~ Good boy, you really have ideas~"
Teddy Robin and Huang Baiming listened to Han Jin's analysis, and couldn't help but glance at each other in surprise and nodded together.
Now the movies made by Xinyicheng are not popular in Southeast Asia. Like "Best Partner", "Ghost Horse Smart Star", "I Love Night Prime", "Take the Wrong Car" and so on, everywhere you go, there is a frenzy of movie-watching.
But the company only cared about making movies to make money before, but it didn't think of promoting its own stars, and as a result, all the people from other companies who became popular in the movies were people.
For example, Xu Guanjie, Tan Yilin, and Lin Zixiang have all collaborated on many movies with Xinyicheng, and they have also become famous, but their record appointments are not in Xinyicheng. Therefore, other record companies took advantage of the success of their films to release albums and make a lot of money, but Xinyicheng couldn't even make a dime, and it was really a wedding dress for others, and it was an empty joy.
Han Jin's words couldn't help but make them suddenly, and undoubtedly opened a new way for them to make money.
"Ah Jin. You really have a brain. Come. Come, I'll toast you~" Huang Baiming couldn't help but praise.
Han Jin laughed and drank a full cup with him.
He is not afraid of the impact that the establishment of a record company in Xinyicheng will have on him, even if they put Tan Xuanlin. Zhang Guorong. The Four Heavenly Kings gathered together. To be honest, it won't have much of a shock to him.
Because a market is prosperous, no matter how many singers can be raised.
, singers all over the United States followed suit. I don't say which singer lost his job because of his rise.
On the contrary, if the market shrinks, even big-name singers will have no business.
The shrinkage of the Hong Kong market is not due to the excessive number of practitioners, but because of the rise of the Internet, the large-scale promotion of MP3/MP4 and mobile phones, which has caused piracy to run rampant, and the physical record industry has suffered a severe impact.
And even if the Hong Kong record market shrinks, it will only survive the fittest, eliminate the weak and leave the strong.
Hong Kong's four kings have been popular from the 90s to the present, and even if the Hong Kong record industry is on the verge of death, they are still the top stars in the Chinese music scene.
And Han Jin knows that he is much stronger than the Four Heavenly Kings, even if all the singers in Hong Kong are eliminated, he will be the only one to win.
What's more, it is still a good era for the rise of Hong Kong's record industry, and the more artists enter the music exhibition, the more prosperous Hong Kong's record industry will be. When the time comes, everyone will collect firewood and the flame will be high, and Han Jin can sell songs for more money.
It's like Huang Zhan, who wrote the lyrics in the early 80s, and a song was only two or three thousand Hong Kong dollars. By the end of the 80s, the Hong Kong music scene was booming, and his word was sold for 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it was still an iron price that was not allowed to bargain.
Han Jin is not worried that new singers will challenge his status, on the contrary, he is willing to release water to raise fish and make the Hong Kong music scene prosperous.
"Good boy, if we can get this thing done, then you will be the first hero~" Mai Jia also said with a smile, "It's a pity that you are not from Xinyi City, otherwise I will definitely pull you into the struggle room." β
Han Jin couldn't help but smile when he heard him say this, "Thank you Mr. Mai for your appreciation, but I'm a non-smoker, and I hate the smell of smoke the most, I don't think I can stay for a minute." β
Mai Jia's struggle room is located in his mansion, with an area of only a few square meters, and it is where the Seven Monsters of Xinyi City usually hold meetings. Every day, everyone gets together to discuss the script, and stays up all night, because they need to stay up late to refresh themselves, so they smoke and drink very frequently. Six of the seven people were smokers, spraying the struggle room into a cloud of smoke.
Huang Baiming said this on the radio, because he was the only one of the seven who couldn't smoke, and he also smoked a lot of second-hand smoke for this.
Mai Jia couldn't help but laugh when she heard his clever refusal, knowing that people have great ambitions and can't look down on their own film company. Also, he can sell tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars when he sells records, so why do he have to join Xinyicheng?!
Li Lizhen saw him at the banquet, and even Mai Jia, the big boss, was shocked by him, and couldn't help but look at Han Jin in surprise, thinking that he was really handsome.
β¦β¦
On the second day of the celebration banquet, Han Jin continued to fly back to Japan to record an album.
This dance music album is still written and arranged by him himself, and Hideo Oda continues to assist in the recording.
Han Jin's music album "Wood Road" has now sold more than 850,000 copies in Japan, becoming the No. 1 album on the public trust album sales list. The other two singles also sold 600,000 and 700,000 copies respectively, and they also ranked in the top five on the singles sales chart.
After the news that he was kidnapped in Taiwan, there was a rush to buy Han Jin's records in Japan...... His latest album also sold out immediately.
When something happens to a singer, people buy their albums out of a sense of sympathy for the weak. Therefore, Korean singers often hype that they are poor, that they are not as good as dogs, that they are sick for a long time to perform on stage, and that they are bullied by their seniors and so on.
Han Jin's two singles and one album have now sold more than two million copies, and this is still the result of his first year of debut in Japan, which is quite remarkable.
Therefore, Sony Records also attaches great importance to Han Jin's third album, and it really asks for money. Ask for someone to give. I hope that this album will also achieve the same good sales as the previous albums.
Han Jin also attaches great importance to the third album, this is his first English album, whether it can be recognized by fans, he is also a little uncertain. So at the time of recording. Han Jin is also very attentive. Strive to make this album as perfect as possible.
It was recorded from the beginning of July to the end of July. The third album was finally recorded. The album is divided into two versions, the Japanese version and the Hong Kong version, with the Hong Kong version containing two Cantonese songs, while the Japanese version omitting two Cantonese songs. The two songs in Han Jinsuo's second album before were "Heartless Fast Talk" by the Mighty Band and "Brother-1ouie" by Modern Quotes.
The new album was released on August 1 in both Hong Kong and Japan, mainly to avoid piracy.
In the 80s, piracy was also rampant, especially pirated cassettes, basically less than a day after the release of hit albums, you can see the sale of reproduced cassettes on the street.
However, for singers, although piracy is very arrogant, the sales of genuine albums such as records and CDs are still very good. Because although the reproduction cassette is cheap, the sound quality is always inferior to the original record and CD. Unlike later technological advances, the entire CD can be copied to the Internet, and the sound quality is not attenuated at all when listening to MP3 and MP4.
Because this is the first time that Han Jin has released a pure English album, he is not too sure about the sales, so only 250,000 copies of both editions have been printed.
And the publicity is also relatively large, Han Jin took the new album to the TV station, radio and even roadshows, and hyped up the new album. Sony Records also made a big record advertisement, and record stores and subways posted posters of new albums.
For this new album, Han Jin also changed a new look, and his head changed from gold to white, which gave him a more psychedelic feeling. The costume has also changed from the previous coat to a black leather jacket with studs, and then matched with a long silver chain, walking in a dark Gothic style.
The new look, new album, new songs, and the feeling that Han Jin brings to people are all so fresh, which just caters to the minds of young Japanese people to catch up with the trend.
As soon as the new album was released, 250,000 records were swept away, and the daily sales reached the platinum record record.
And in Hong Kong, Han Jin's third dance music album was also a big hit. This time, the dance music is different from the previous two, adding a lot of electronic music elements, so it sounds more dynamic and powerful, and strongly shocks the listener's eardrums.
The daily sales reached 150,000 copies, which was slightly inferior to the second album. However, this may also be because Han Jin has too little publicity in Hong Kong.
In short, the daily sales of the two new albums are very good, adding up to more than 400,000 copies, which many singers can't sell in a year.
Sony Records and Huaxing Records saw that the sales of records were gratifying, and they were also working overtime to catch up with the printing.
Han Jin stayed in Japan for seven days to promote this new record, and every day he was either doing propaganda or on the way to remove the publicity, and he didn't even have time to take a serious break, and he had to sleep in the car. Fortunately, Sony Records prepared a comfortable nanny car for Han Jin, so that he could sleep more comfortably.
And Han Jin's high popularity in Japan also makes him welcome by fans every time he goes to a publicity point.
There are even fans of the vast number of magical powers who wrote down Han Jin's license plate and followed him all the way. Because he followed too closely, he almost had a traffic accident, which made Han Jin break out in a cold sweat.
Although this also reflects that the fans are really enthusiastic enough, he is also very unhappy to joke with his life like this.
And Japan is mountainous, hilly, and the roads are all winding and winding, just like the Akina mountain road in "Initial D". It's understandable that fans are close to their idols, but it's too dangerous to follow up on such a crooked mountain road.
Therefore, Han Jin also called on everyone to stop tracking his car during the promotion, not only for the safety of fans, but also for his own safety.
In order to avoid being tracked by fanatical fans, Sony Records specially prepared a number of cars for Han Jin, in addition to the escort team, the car he was riding in was also changed every day, and fans had no goal even if they wanted to track it.
In this way, it took great effort to put an end to the phenomenon of these fanatical fans tracking them for thousands of miles, which made Han Jin also breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the enthusiasm of Japanese fans to chase stars is really high enough, and they drive all the way or even take a plane to chase stars according to the publicity route set by Han Jin.
Wherever Han Jin goes, they can follow him, and his obsession with Cheng DΓΉ is shocking. (To be continued!)
