Chapter 366: The Second Song Auction (Part II)
With Yu Zheng's hammer down, the most expensive song in Hong Kong history was finally born. The song "Sunset Song" broke the record set by "The Root of Love" last year with a sky-high price of 2.5 million yuan, and sold it as much as 2 million Hong Kong dollars.
The reason why this song has hit such a sky-high price is not only because of the quality of the song itself, but also because it involves the battle between the first sister in the Hong Kong music scene, as well as the battle between Xu Xiaofeng and Mei Yanfang.
After the song sold for a sky-high price, many record companies began to worry about the price of the follow-up song. Previously, everyone expected that the average price of this year's songs would be around 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, so most record companies have also prepared 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, hoping to shoot a song.
But now it seems that the competition is far more fierce than imagined, and "The Unheard Talk" alone has already sold for a high price of 320,000 yuan. The next few songs are not inferior to this, and the price is really worth looking forward to.
Sure enough, the next bidding songs such as "The Romance of a Rainy Night", "Who Can Rely on Each Other", "Who Resonates", "Love Has Passed Away", "Manzhu Sahua", "The Most Important Fun" and so on were all auctioned at high prices, and the cheapest one "Who Can Depend on Each Other" was sold for 300,000 yuan, and the highest price "Love is Gone" was won by Polygram, and the price was also auctioned for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Originally, according to last year's market, this song would have hit a sky-high price. But with Mei Yanfang's 2.5 million trees there as a benchmark, the 500,000 Hong Kong dollars are not enough.
Later, I came to the song "Downstream and Against the Current", which is a quite classic inspirational song and Xu Xiaofeng's classic representative work. He won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards and the Best Chinese Pop Lyrics Award that year.
After this song, Hong Kong set off a wave of inspirational songs, and classic songs such as "A Few Wind and Rain", "A Thousand Suns", "My Story" and so on were born.
The lyrics of "Downstream and Against the Current" are classic and touching, especially because it is a very meaningful inspirational song, which is very suitable for singers to use it to brush up the style.
As a singer, if you always sing some saliva songs, you may become a smash hit, but then it will disappear, such as Daolang, Yang Chengang, Donglai Dong, Black Dragon, etc., which were once popular all over the country.
Because saliva songs can only be popular for a while. Probably at some point in time. Suddenly, it grabbed people's ears, and then became popular overnight. But with the passage of time, saliva songs like this will quickly lose their charm.
In '04 and '05, the streets and alleys were putting Daolang's "The First Snow of 2002". The present time has changed. Who else will listen to that kind of song again?!
On the contrary, the truly classic songs are sung endlessly. For example, the songs of the band beyond still have a high hit-through rate, and their status is still very strong.
"Downstream and Against the Current" is obviously such a good song. It's a very important song for a singer.
"Next, the auction "Downstream and Against the Current" will be auctioned at a reserve price of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars! Raise a card for 10,000 yuan, please enthusiastically raise your card! Yu Zheng shouted that after experiencing the sky-high price of 2.5 million yuan in "Song of the Sunset", she is now much calmer, even if she gets a high price of 500,000 yuan, she is no longer surprised. It's a bit that the sea is hard to water, but Wushan is not the strength of the clouds.
"Five hundred thousand!" Kang Yi Chengyin shouted directly.
Wow!
From the start of filming to the present, it is the first time I have seen someone directly soar the price, and he has raised 400,000 in one go, and everyone present can't help but be a little surprised.
The scene fell into silence, and there was no more speech for a while.
In fact, among the female singers in Hong Kong, there are many female singers who can sing this song, such as Xu Xiaofeng, Mei Yanfang, Zhang Delan, Chen Jieling, Ye Dexian, etc., can sing this song.
But there are not many singers who are worth spending money on by the record company, just Xu Xiaofeng and Mei Yanfang, although the others are still popular and have status, but they are already going downhill, and it is not worth the record company to invest a lot more.
Xu Xiaofeng had already expressed her generosity just now and gave up "Song of the Sunset" to Mei Yanfang. Now that the filming of "Downstream and Against the Current" is starting, she directly called for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars at a fixed price, which did not make Han Jin suffer, but also gave Huaxing Records a signal, that is, I want this song.
If Huaxing Company continues to bid, it is disregarding morality, after all, people have just shown their style and let "Sunset Song" out. Now, if this "Going with the Current" wants to fight again, it will inevitably be moral.
If Huaxing Company did not participate in the auction, then this good song would be taken away by Xu Xiaofeng at a low price of 500,000 yuan. You must know that Mei Yanfang's "Sunset Song" was coaxed to a high price of 2.5 million.
"Damn, she put it on the move!" Su Xiaoliang couldn't help but curse secretly.
Xu Xiaofeng put on a posture that she had to get "Song of the Sunset" before, coaxed the price all the way to two million, and turned around and "raised the style" to let the song out, in fact, it was all just a play, what she really liked should be the good song "Downstream and Backward Current".
In terms of quality, there is not much difference between "Downstream and Against the Current" and "Sunset Song", but the previous coax made Huaxing Company two million more, and owed her a big favor. Now if you compete with Xu Xiaofeng again, "Downstream and Against the Current" will lose money and morality, so you can only let Xu Xiaofeng pick up a big bargain for nothing.
Although Su Xiaoliang figured it out, he was helpless, so he could only give the song to Xu Xiaofeng.
"Five hundred thousand, once! Five hundred thousand, twice! Five hundred thousand, three times! Congratulations to Kangyi Chengyin Company for filming the song "Downstream and Against the Current" at a price of 500,000. Yu Zheng said happily.
Su Xiaoliang heard the "snap", and his heart twitched. 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, even if Mei Yanfang pays a sum of money herself, the majority is still from Huaxing Records!
"Damn, it's really a big loss this time." Su Xiaoliang couldn't help but scolded secretly, and then he thought that Han Jin was his own person, "Can you discuss with him and lower the price!" 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really too much. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be happy again.
……
After filming "Downstream and Against the Current", the next song is the last song "Love Trap".
This song is the last of the "Love Trilogy" launched by Tan Yilin in 85. It is also a representative work of his singing career, and since then he has been firmly on the throne of Hong Kong's first-line male singers, leaving Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang, Luo Wen, Xu Guanjie, etc. far behind.
It can be said that this song is the song that established Tan Yanlin's status in the music world, and its importance to him is naturally visible. Although the throne of the first brother in the music world is now occupied by Han Jin, because he does not often exhibit in Hong Kong, the position of "quasi-first brother" is still quite attractive at present.
With this song, coupled with last year's "Love in Late Autumn" and "The Root of Love", it just makes up the "Love Trilogy", which can send him to the throne of "quasi-first brother" in one fell swoop.
Polygram Records also chose this song early, but Huaxing Records also liked it early on. Among the twenty songs that were auctioned just now, Huaxing Records has already filmed the song "Who Resonates" for Zhang Guorong. But now I have encountered "Love Trap". They still don't want to miss it.
Because "Who Resonates" is a slow song. Although it sounds good, it is not sung enough. And "Love Trap" is a fast song, and it is also a popular dance music style, which is suitable for matching the speed of "Who Resonates".
In this way, the two companies are on the bar again, and there is actually a faint meaning of a brother's dispute.
Now because of the rise of Han Jin. Zhang Guorong and Tan Yilin are basically on the same level now. Now it's up to who can get the song "Love Trap". And because male singers have always had a market for female singers. So this time the scene of the competition is even more ferocious.
Other record companies don't want to see Huaxing and Polygram dominate year after year, so this time they are also coaxed together, just to disgust their two companies.
The reserve price of "Love Trap" is 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. Raise a card for 20,000 yuan at a time!
As soon as filming started, the record company directly shouted 1 million Hong Kong dollars, which made Huaxing and Polygram records almost angry. Because it is impossible for that record company to come up with that much money, shouting such a high price now is completely disrupting the situation.
Su Xiaoliang, general manager of Huaxing Records, and Guan Weilin, representative of Polygram Records, saw each other, and chose silence very tacitly. Because they knew that the record company couldn't come up with so much money, the song could only be unsold, and the two companies would still compete at that time.
This move is also to deter those troublemakers, don't think that we have to have this song, just want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, it's not that simple.
After Fengxing Records shouted out the price of one million, they originally wanted to disgust Huaxing and Polygram, but seeing that the two companies were slow to take over, the boss directly broke out in a cold sweat.
This time to participate in the song auction, each company paid a deposit of 200,000 yuan in advance, if you maliciously make trouble and don't pay after the auction, then you can't get this deposit back. This is an unbearable loss for Popular Records.
Other record companies couldn't help but snicker when they saw that Popular Records was caught in the dilemma of stealing chickens and rice. Although they plan to teach Huaxing and Polygram a lesson, "eating appearance" is not as ugly as popular records. Now seeing that he shouted a million at a fixed price, but Huaxing and Polygram are not ready to take over, everyone wants to see what he will do next.
There was a surprisingly silent scene, and everyone was waiting to see the jokes of the popular record company.
Yu Zheng couldn't help but be stunned on the auction table when she saw this, she knew the family background of Fengxing Records. Even if one million Hong Kong dollars can be taken out, their company will go bankrupt directly, and it is impossible to have any money to produce zuò albums, so it is definitely a waste to hand over this song to Fengxing Records.
Han Jin sat in the audience and couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw this scene. He doesn't object to someone raising the price, but don't raise the price indiscriminately. In this way, the rhythm of the auction is directly disrupted. Now the scene is cold because of the messing up of popular records, and if no one shouts the price, then the song will really be sold for 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
This price is really not the price that Han Jin wants, and he also knows that Fengxing Records doesn't have that much money at all, and the record company will be closed in two years.
If the auction is lost because of this, it will hurt the song auction too much, and he will never allow this kind of thing to happen.
Han Jin secretly made a gesture, and immediately a staff member stepped forward, "Sir, given that the price of your bid is too high, we want to verify your funds." ”
The general manager of Fengxing Records blushed with shame, his company could make a million funds, but if it really came out, then his company would be directly hollowed out, what use was it to just hold a song.
"This ...... This...... It's ......," he hesitated.
"I'm sorry sir, in view of your malicious bidding, please go out now." The staff said again.
The boss of Fengxing Records couldn't stay any longer, and left the auction site in a gloomy manner.
Yu Zheng hurriedly said, "Everyone, in view of this situation, the song "Love Trap" has started filming again! The reserve price is 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, please bid! ”
"This time for the remake, no company dares to mess around anymore, and the bidding is going up little by little, and no one dares to say that it is a million.
But even so, the song "Love Trap" quickly crossed the million Hong Kong dollar mark. (To be continued!)
