Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 527 The Big Name Agent Chen Shufen
"Hopefully, as you said, the response to this album will be good!"

Leslie Cheung finally agreed with He Jin's idea.

However, it is not difficult to see from his words that he himself is still skeptical about the success of this album.

"Don't worry, I have confidence!"

He Jin is very confident in the album "Beloved".

In his previous life, Leslie Cheung released this album on July 1995, 7, which included a total of 7 songs, including "Chasing", "Beauty and White Hair", "Midnight Singing" and other songs.

In 1995, Leslie Cheung won the 18th Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Best-selling Singer Award for the year with this album.

In 1995, the annual sales of "Beloved" in Asia exceeded 200 million copies, and the annual sales in Hong Kong exceeded six platinum, ranking first in the annual record sales list announced by IFPI Hong Kong Branch.

In addition, "Beloved" sold more than 50 copies in South Korea, setting a record for the sales of Chinese-language records in South Korea at that time.

This is the data and various records of the previous life.

But now, after He Jin's classic songs bombarded the market for several consecutive years, the data of the entire record industry has increased a lot.

Just like Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye".

In the previous life, the annual data of this album was around [-] million.

But now, this figure has directly increased by a quarter, reaching more than five million.

Therefore, He Jin believes that as long as all aspects are operated properly, the data of this album will only increase.

After all, although the songs of Leslie Cheung's movies have already been released.

But because Leslie Cheung announced his withdrawal from the music scene at the beginning, these songs are almost only movie episodes and theme song versions, and have not been released on albums.

In addition, after these songs are recorded in the new album, they will definitely be re-arranged and filled in with lyrics.

In a large sense, this can be said to be a new song.

In addition, after Leslie Cheung retired from the music scene in the past few years, he did not just withdraw awards like Alan Tam, but completely retired.

He has completely retreated, and now that he is back, the fans have higher expectations for him.

As far as Xiangjiang is now, I don't know how many people are expecting him to release the record soon!
This can be seen from Huaxing Records receiving a bunch of letters urging Leslie Cheung to release an album every week.

Therefore, He Jin absolutely believes that this album will be a success.

He Jin and Leslie Cheung talked about the new album for a while, and the two made an appointment to start recording Leslie Cheung's new album immediately after Huaxing got all the copyrights of the songs in the new album.

After talking about this, it was getting late, Leslie Cheung said that there was still a show, so he left first.

"How did it go?"

At the entrance of the hotel, a red Ferrari was parked on the side of the road.

Leslie Cheung went out and got into the red Ferrari.

A middle-aged woman of about forty was sitting in the car.

When Leslie Cheung got into the car, she asked while driving away.

If He Jin was here at this time, he would definitely know this woman.

This woman may be ordinary in the eyes of the public, but she is well-known in the Hong Kong music scene.

Chen Shufen.

A man who holds a pivotal position in the music scene.

She has a deep relationship with He Jin's company Huaxing Records.

In 1973, she was in charge of "China Star Entertainment Co., Ltd." in Hong Kong.

Later, in 1982, "Huaxing" established the record department, and she was one of the leaders of Huaxing record department at that time.

The Xiangjiang singers discovered by her include Anita Mui, Lu Fang, Du Dewei, Leslie Cheung, Lydia Lydia and others.

In addition, she also acted as the agent of Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Anita Mui, Lydia Lym, Julian Cheung, Chen Songling, Huajian Zhou, Luo Wen, Li Zhi, Grasshopper, Huang Minhao and others.

In the entire Xiangjiang music scene, she has recruited almost half of the singers.

To say that she has a great reputation is an understatement.

"The matter of the new album has been finalized, He Jin plans to make a new album based on the songs of the movies I starred in!"

Leslie Cheung didn't hide anything, he just said it directly.

Hearing this, Chen Shufen frowned, "You mean, she won't write new songs for you?"

"There are no new songs, he means old songs with new changes!"

Zhang Guorong nodded and said.

After a pause, Leslie Cheung continued: "I have already agreed with his idea. After he gets the copyright, we can start preparing for the recording."

Chen Shufen didn't speak.

After a while, she finally opened her mouth: "At the beginning, I signed you under the banner of Rolling Stone. There are Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng and other musicians. You don't have to worry about releasing new songs in the music scene. You definitely want to cooperate with He Jin.

Indeed, he is talented and has proved himself in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Europe, America and other places.

But he is a miser, and he will not write good songs for others easily..."

"At first, I also thought he was stingy for not writing new songs for me, and he was very uncooperative.

But he told me something and I decided to give it a try.

In addition, he also promised me that if the album is not successful, he will immediately produce the songs he wrote for me. "

Chen Shufen has always been disapproving of Leslie Cheung's signing with China Star.

In her eyes, Rolling Stone is the best company.

Therefore, after knowing that He Jin did not intend to prepare a new song for Leslie Cheung, she immediately began to question He Jin.

And Leslie Cheung knew that he had already signed a contract with China Star Records.

The follow-up cooperation will last for three years.

If Chen Shufen and Hua Xing are not happy, it will lead to disadvantages in his follow-up work.

Therefore, he took the initiative to speak good words for He Jin.

"Success is not a decision, it depends on the market reaction.

I remember that there is a clause in your contract that if the two parties have objections to the cooperation, they can change their home!
Let's see how the album responds.

If the response is not good, how about we terminate the contract in time?

You know, the Rolling Stones are very eager for you, I think they should be willing to pay the liquidated damages for you. "

Chen Shufen looked at Leslie Cheung and said.

Singer contracts have always been graded.

The contract between Leslie Cheung and Huaxing Records is undoubtedly the top category.

This type of contract places very little restrictions on singers.

If the singer is not satisfied with the record company, he has the right to propose termination of the contract.

Although liquidated damages will also be paid, relatively speaking, the amount of liquidated damages will be less.

This is also one of the perks of being a top singer.

"Let's talk about this after the album comes out! Sister Chen, you should try to avoid contacting Rolling Stone recently.

After all, the production of the album has not yet started, we just leave it like this, which will have a bad impact on my cooperation with Huaxing Records.

In addition, He Jin's reputation as a ghost is not in vain, I think he should be given some confidence. "

Leslie Cheung didn't want to cause He Jin's dissatisfaction because of his private contact with Rolling Stone.

Although He Jin's new album plan for him did not meet his expectations, but the album has not yet come out, everything is unknown, starting to find a new home now, it seems too cold and heartless.

He and He Jin had a good relationship in private, and he didn't want them to become passers-by because of these.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Before the word-of-mouth sales of the new album come out, I won't mess around."

Chen Shufen can become the manager of many big-name singers, so she naturally understands this. Therefore, she knows what to do without Leslie Cheung.
