Chapter 245: Repeatedly Breaking Sky-High Prices
At four o'clock in the afternoon, listening to the sound of music, Han Jin appeared in a luxurious tuxedo, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to have you here today." Han Jin said with a smile, "The song auction is unprecedented in the history of world music, and today we Hong Kong musicians are going to set a precedent, and you are the participants and witnesses of this grand event." ”
"The reason why I want to hold this song auction has already been said in the media before, and I don't need to repeat it now." Han Jin smiled and said, "In order not to delay everyone's time, the auction will start now!" My teacher, Mr. Huang Zhan, is a guest auctioneer, everyone is welcome~"
Under the warm applause of everyone, Huang Zhan stepped onto the auction table. Today, he is also wearing a dress and a bow tie, which is very different from the previous image of the "godfather of inliteracy".
"Today, I will be the auctioneer, friends give a face, and enthusiastically raise the cards~" Huang Zhan grinned and said with a smile, the solemn image of Sùmu just now was immediately destroyed.
"We raised a card for 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, and now we are auctioning the first song, "Chance Encounter"! The starting price is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars~" Huang Zhan announced with a smile.
"Chance Encounter" is a lyrical song sung by Hong Kong singer Lin Zhimei, which once won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards in 84 years, and is a very high-quality song.
"Fifty-five thousand!" "Sixty thousand!" "Sixty-five thousand!" "One hundred and fifty thousand!"
Huang Zhan was busy watching the signs held up by people in the stands, at this time. Someone suddenly shouted loudly, startling everyone at once.
The reporters present hurriedly pressed the shutter, and the TVB camera also pointed the camera at the camera~
The 150,000 songs are really sky-high, which makes everyone present a little shocked.
Huang Zhan also swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, 180,000 Hong Kong dollars~ It's good that he sells 5,000 Hong Kong dollars for a song, and now Han Jin's song is thirty-six times that of himself, my God!
After being stunned for a while, Huang Zhan finally remembered his accusation and hurriedly shouted. "One hundred and fifty thousand. Is there anything higher? ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand, one time!" "One hundred and fifty thousand, twice!" "One hundred and fifty thousand, three times!"
Syllable! Huang Zhan slammed down the auction hammer. "Congratulations. 150,000 transactions~"
"Wow~" There was an exclamation from the audience. 150,000 to grab a song. It's really rich, and everyone is not bad for money.
Immediately after the hammer is dropped, a staff member will write down the auctioneer's information and wait for the auction to end. You can officially trade it.
Because the people who are here today are all well-known figures in the Hong Kong music scene, and there are also some of Hong Kong's largest media present, as well as the impartiality of government departments and the supervision of lawyers, Han Jin is not worried that he will not receive money in the end.
"Okay, let's auction the second song, "Picking Stars". The reserve price is 80,000 yuan, please hold up the card~" Huang Zhan continued to shoot the second song.
"Eighty thousand!" "Eighty-five thousand!" "Ninety thousand!" "One hundred thousand!" "One hundred and fifty thousand!" ……
"Picking Stars" is an anti-drug song launched by Chen Baiqiang in 84, which once won the top spot on RTHK's Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger Chart for three consecutive weeks, and is a beautiful and meaningful song.
Everyone present is also a knowledgeable person, knowing that singers should not only sing love saliva songs, but occasionally sing one or two meaningful songs, which can enhance their image. So this time, everyone grabbed it more enthusiastically.
The starting price was 80,000 yuan, and after some bidding, the price was quickly raised to 170,000 Hong Kong dollars~
"170,000! Is there anything higher than 170,000, oh, 175,000! 180,000! One hundred and ninety-five thousand! 195,000, is there anything higher than 195,000?! ”
"One hundred and fifty-one time!"
"Ninety-five thousand two!"
"One hundred and fifty-three times! Deal! Congratulations! ”
Syllable! Huang Zhan smashed the auction hammer again, and this "Picking Stars" broke the record he had just set and became the most expensive song in Hong Kong.
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but be a little unbelievable when they saw that this song was also auctioned at such a high price.
Because the record companies have also estimated the price before, the first "Chance Encounter" can be won at almost 140,000, and this "Picking Stars" should be worth about 150,000.
But now that the prices of both songs are much higher than previously estimated, it is clear that the auction is more popular than expected. Many company representatives couldn't help but start to calculate whether they should raise the price, otherwise if they couldn't shoot a song and were all filmed by competitors, the next six months would be difficult.
Just when everyone was talking, Huang Zhan announced the auction of the third song. The third song is "Like Water".
This song was launched by Mei Yanfang in 84 and won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award and the Top Ten Golden Melody Award that year, becoming Mei Yanfang's masterpiece in her life. And in 97, he won the "Top Ten Favorite Golden Songs of Radio Television Hong Kong in the Past 20 Years", which shows that "The Year of Flowing Water" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Hong Kong.
This song is timeless and moving, it is a rare lyrical song, and the starting price is as high as 100,000 Hong Kong dollars!
"One hundred and fifty thousand!" "One hundred thousand!" "One hundred and fifty thousand!" "One hundred and twenty thousand!" "One hundred and twenty-five thousand!" "One hundred and thirty thousand!"
All its record companies with female singers are vying for this song, because it is too suitable for female singers to sing, and it is also very in line with the taste of the current Hong Kong people, and it is a song that can be 100% popular.
The starting price is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, soaring all the way!
The representatives of these record companies in the audience all held up signs as if they were grabbing free lottery tickets, so that the price of this song quickly reached the mark of 200,000~
"Two hundred thousand!" Huang Zhan was shocked when he shouted this number, because it could represent 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The thousand-square-foot residences in Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok are only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it is really surprising that this song is worth so much.
But that's not the end of the day!
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" "Two hundred and one thousand!" "Two hundred and fifty thousand!" "Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
It was not until it was raised to 250,000 that the degree of the crowd began to slow down. In the end, only two companies remained. One is Kang Yi Chengyin, where Xu Xiaofeng is located. One is Mei Yanfang's Huaxing Records.
Both families took a fancy to this song and knew that it was very suitable for female singers to sing. If their own singers come to sing, they will definitely be able to make them popular half the sky.
Everyone present also looked at it in surprise, knowing that now it is Huaxing and Kang Yi Chengyin competing on the surface, but in fact, behind it is the competition between Mei Yanfang and Xu Xiaofeng in the Hong Kong music scene.
Xu Xiaofeng is an old-timer in the Hong Kong music scene, a palace-level star, known as "Sister Xiaofeng", and has always been the first sister in the Hong Kong music scene.
Although Mei Yanfang is a junior and has only debuted for two years, the momentum of her rise is quite fast. Now Yan zhòng has challenged her position as the first sister in the music world.
This made Xu Xiaofeng feel a sense of crisis. Because she knew that if she was squeezed into the throne of a sister. Then it will be impossible for him to return to the top again, and he will slowly go downhill until he gets weaker. So no matter what, she has to stick to this position.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!" Just when Huaxing Company shouted 270,000, and Kang Yi Chengyin refused to shout further. Xu Xiaofeng gritted her teeth. He stood up and shouted.
She knew that Kangyi Chengyin was just a small company. It's very good to be able to call 260,000. However, she was never willing to give up this song, so she would rather pay some of her own money to grab the song.
saw Sister Xiaofeng shouting by herself. Everyone was taken aback, this is the first time since the start of filming that the singer himself has shouted the price. However, it also shows that this song is really good, and even the singer would rather pay for the song himself.
Huaxing Records couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Sister Xiaofeng shouting 280,000, and wanted to shout again but didn't dare to shout again.
shouted all the way to 280,000, which is already very reluctant for Huaxing Records. But Xu Xiaofeng is a new force, even if he adds another 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, it will not be a problem.
Because she attended the event, it cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to sing a song, and it was even more million Hong Kong dollars to open a concert. One hundred or two hundred thousand is not money at all for her.
"Two hundred and eighty thousand, one time!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand, twice!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand, three times!"
Syllable!
"Deal, congratulations to Sister Xiaofeng!" Huang Zhan wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, feeling that his mouth was trembling.
280,000 yuan, a song is more earning than a song written by yourself for a year.
The sky-high transaction price of 280,000 yuan also stunned everyone present.
Although this "Year Like Water" is good, it is a bit too much to auction this price. Previously, it was unanimously estimated that it might be good to shoot 200,000.
But now because of the dispute between the first sister in the Hong Kong music scene, Shengsheng has increased the transaction price of this song by half, which is really unexpected.
The next few songs "Who Can Change", "Symphony in the Rain", "Tender Honey" and so on are close to the transaction price of 200,000 yuan, although they reach the jaw-dropping price of 280,000 yuan.
At this time, people envied the person who called 150,000 Hong Kong dollars at a fixed price when the song of "Chance Encounter" was auctioned at the beginning. He raised the price so much at once, completely caught others off guard, and as a result, he got the song at a low price of 150,000 yuan.
Now that the atmosphere of the auction has been stirred, it is impossible to imagine the strategy of shouting high prices like him and shaking others to take the song at a low price.
Now that there are fewer and fewer songs left, the record companies that have not yet gained anything are naturally anxious. If you can't get a single song, but your competitors get a good song, then your own singer won't be trampled into the mud. How can I mix in the Hong Kong music scene in the future, how can I participate in commercial performances, and how can I make a lot of money again?!
So in the next few songs, everyone fought more fiercely. "Set Sail with Me" and "Urban Love Song" have sold more than 200,000 yuan, which really surprised everyone present.
The quality of these two songs can only be average among the twenty songs auctioned today, and the previous estimated prices are also around 130,000 or 40,000. But now because the atmosphere of the auction is too frenetic, it has been coaxed all the way to a high price of 220,000, which is really a sight to behold.
"Okay, now you guys pay attention, we're auctioning off the last song, "The Roots of Love." Huang Zhan said with a smile.
"The starting price is 180,000 Hong Kong dollars ~ welcome to raise the sign!"
Hearing that the starting price of this song was 180,000, the reporters on the scene were a little surprised for a while.
When discussing the price before, Huang Zhan heard Han Jin quote this price, and almost dropped the cigarette in his hand on the ground.
The starting price is 180,000 Hong Kong dollars, and he has always doubted whether any record company will buy it.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a large number of signs held up in the audience, which startled him.
"One hundred and eighty thousand!" "One hundred and fifty thousand!" "190,000!"
……
"The Roots of Love" is a classic masterpiece by Alan Tam, and it is also a song that established his unique status in the Hong Kong music scene in the 80s.
This song not only won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award, but also won the Top Ten Golden Melody Award, and also won the Best Composition Award, Best Arrangement Award at the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, and helped Tan Linglin win the Most Popular Male Singer of the Year Award. It can be seen how high the quality of this song is.
Hong Kong male singers have always had a market for female singers, so all record companies with male singers have raised their cards, because they all think that this song is really good and outrageous, much better than "The Year of Flowing Water". (To be continued!)
