Chapter 1121 After You Sing, I Will Appear on Stage

Since this year, people can clearly feel that Xiangjiang’s entertainment industry is making a collective effort.

The three heroes' battle for hegemony that started on the first day of the new year is still fresh in people's minds and is very exciting.

Later, although "Love Is Priceless" and "The Footsteps" took a step back and were broadcast in three schedules, people were even happier because most people could watch these three excellent TV series at the same time. .

So here in Xiangjiang, a very strange phenomenon occurred.

People generally stayed at home, basically sitting in front of the TV from seven to ten o'clock in the evening.

Because everyone was like this, the flow of people on the streets of Xiangjiang at night was reduced a lot, and merchants cursed the three major TV stations, causing their business to suffer.

TV stations are on the one hand, and major record companies on the other hand are also making a lot of moves this year.

PolyGram has successfully dealt with lazy people like Leslie Cheung and announced that he will release a cover album of his in the middle of the year to give back to the fans who support him.

right.

You read that right.

It’s a cover album!

It's all about singing other people's songs, so it's called a cover album.

Zhang Guorong also started to become more and more willful. As a singer, he sang other people's songs enthusiastically everywhere. This behavior that others seemed to despise was very interesting to him.

I think there is no other way to go to PolyGram. If you can't get an original album, getting a cover album is better than nothing, so that's why I made such a bold announcement.

But the results were beyond Polygram’s expectations.

As soon as they heard that Leslie Cheung was going to release a new album, regardless of whether it was a cover or not, record stores from other places swarmed in and ordered about 3 million records in one go, which shocked PolyGram.

In this world, for a Chinese singer who can sell more than 3 million copies of an album, two slaps are definitely not enough.

Zhang Guorong's pre-orders for a cover album have reached 3 million. Adding in some original sales, 4 million is enough.

There are probably only two or three singers like this in the entire Chinese speaking circle. The only one who can hold down Leslie Cheung is Teresa Deng, who is now ranked number one in the world.

PolyGram has the big name Zhang Guorong, and Kirin Records is not that weak, and is even stronger.

The "Big Three" who had great album sales last year - Tan Yonglin, Chen Baixiang and Fei Xiang, also have plans to release albums this year.

The accumulated record sales of the three of them are around 2 million, which is not as good as Zhang Guorong, but they are definitely first-class superstars.

During the concert tour before the Spring Festival this year, the three of them were named the most, and they raised an unknown amount of money for Qilin Culture.

But just put it this way, the three of them combined cannot be said to be better than Leslie Cheung. After all, Leslie Cheung is outstanding, but the three of them can only be regarded as first-class stars.

What really makes Kirin Records better than PolyGram is that they have announced that they will release a Chinese-language album by pop diva Teresa Teng this year.

As soon as such news came out, it immediately caused a sensation throughout Southeast Asia. No, even Japan and South Korea were looking forward to it.

In this day and age, Chinese music is no worse than Japanese. As for Korean... it has gradually become the base of Chinese music!

Last year, Teresa Teng's contract with PolyGram actually expired, but she still collaborated with PolyGram on the album "Teresa Deng", and PolyGram also relied on this album The album has become the most prosperous record company from last year to this year.

But after that, Teresa Deng had no intention of cooperating with them anymore.

Originally, what Sister Tianhou meant was that I was going to give birth to a baby, and all work should be moved out of my way.

However, when she heard that her man was going to promote pop music in the mainland, Teresa Teng immediately felt that she needed to support her, so she thought of a Chinese record. During that time, Huang Bogao called the boss's wife every day, hoping that she would support his industry. , so before returning to the United States, Deng Lijun had no choice but to agree to him.

So, when PolyGram proudly released Zhang Guorong's cover record and 2 million copies had been booked, Huang Bogao also made a big move and killed the whole audience with Teresa Teng's Chinese record.

Since 1980, Teresa Teng has released Japanese records and English records, but she has never released a Chinese record - even if there are two Chinese songs in "Theresa Deng", it doesn't count at all.

Fans throughout the Chinese-speaking region have been really looking forward to the Queen's Chinese-language album. Now there is news, and it is scheduled to be released this year. For the fans, it is as exciting as a holiday. ah.

In just one week, 23 million copies of this Chinese-language album, whose name I don’t even know, were ordered.

23 million photos! ?

When this data was compiled, almost everyone lost their voice! !

Damn, why don’t you be so scary! ?

Many singers will never be able to sell such a large number of sales in their lifetime, but luckily for you, you only have so many bookings! ?

If you add in the additional copies added during the release, it would be strange to see a shortage of 30 million copies!

However, if you think about it again, the sales volume of Teresa Deng's "Teresa Deng" has exceeded 70 million copies, and is firmly moving towards 80 million copies, and you will know that this data is not too exaggerated.

The music potential in the Chinese-speaking region is actually quite large. In Asia alone, excluding mainland China, the number of people covered by Chinese-speaking music exceeds 300 million. If it were an international diva like Teresa Teng, the population could increase to 500 million. .

With such a potential of 500 million people, 30 million is a conservative estimate.

That is to say, relying on Teresa Teng's appeal, the fame of Kirin Records suddenly spread throughout the Chinese music circle, and even Polygram could not catch up.

This is obvious. If you are so good at PolyGram, why didn’t you sign Teresa Deng?

The TV world is so lively, the music world is so lively, and the film world is the same.

After "The Best Partner" made a huge profit at the box office, Cheng Long's "Police Story" also followed suit. After it opened in February, it shockingly exceeded 10 million in the first three days of the weekend, reaching 10.5 million!

This is the second highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong history after "Speed" with a box office of 11.8 million. Its production cost was only HK$30 million, while the production cost of "Speed" exceeded US$25 million! Almost six times as long as "Police Story"! ! ——This does not include the huge global promotion cost of 30 million US dollars.

Therefore, the 30 million for "Police Story" is really well spent.

Golden Harvest followed the example of Kirin Films, opening simultaneously across Asia, and the results were very good. Japan and South Korea frequently reported good news, and Baodao also beat "The Best Partner" to become the number one this year, with a total box office of over 100,000 in one week. 60 million Hong Kong dollars!

It is a pity that Europe and the United States did not agree to open the film at the same time around the world, but chose to release it on a small and medium scale a week later. As a result, the treatment and results were not as good as "Red Zone", which made Zou Wenhuai very regretful.

But in general, "Police Story", a new type of movie that breaks through the original movie model, is very popular, at least in Asia.

Coupled with Cheng Long's already extremely strong appeal, the Asian box office in the second week also exceeded 60 million, and its power has not diminished at all.

As long as anyone can see it, a superstar in action is rising.

Some comments even say that Cheng Long relied on his unremitting efforts to make steady progress step by step.

In contrast, a rising star like Fei Xiang, who became famous in one fell swoop but did not have a solid foundation, could not easily stabilize his position.

Fei Xiang disagrees with such remarks. He doesn't care how popular he is. Acting in movies is just a job. What he really likes is making music.

Even Yin Jun agreed, allowing him to take a few months to do a few musicals on Broadway this year or next year with the help of Disney, which made him even more happy.

This young man who loves literature and art is far from pursuing fame and fortune. In other words, he has already gained too much fame at once, which makes him less aware of how important fame and status are.

After Cheng Long's "Police Story" in early February, by the end of February, "The Guards 2" was also among a group of movies, fighting its way through.

"Police Story" still retains its power, "Shaolin Temple" is still a treasure trove, and there are other movies to be released... Under this environment, even if it premieres in only 30 cinemas, "The Guardian 2" It has won the love of many movie fans with its exquisite fighting and strong feelings of family and country.

Especially those Nanyang movie fans who have liked Chuck's movies before, they feel that Chuck's movies have suddenly changed from cruel and bloody to very sharp and beautiful fights, and they have also sublimated and risen in content. It's simply more than one level.

Even in terms of content and plot, "Jinyiwei 2" is a little hollow compared to the first one written by Yin Jun himself, and the logic is not that good, but the big foundation is still there, plus the plot and The continuity of movie-watching habits, so everyone still buys it.

In the two weeks since its release, "Jinyiwei 2" has received a box office of 15 million, plus a buyout price of 20 million from other places. Many people envied and hated the prediction that Chuck's movie, even if it gives various dividends to his apprentices, earns HK$15 million is more than enough.

Think about it two years ago, when Chuck left Shaw Brothers and started his own Changhe Company, everyone was not optimistic about him.

It turned out that he was really good and had enough respect, so he asked for the book directly from Yin Jun, and now a movie laid the foundation for him.

Seeing how popular "Jinyiwei 2" is, at least the third part will be able to make money.

One series can earn 20 to 30 million yuan. This Yin Jun book is indeed as rumored, a treasure that turns stone into gold!
