1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 67 Becoming popular in Xiangjiang, and confronting Guo Tianwang's face-to-face confrontation!

On May 1995, 5, more than 28 Taiwanese people took to the streets to bid farewell to Teresa Teng's last journey with countless fans around the world.

There is a cemetery named "Yun Garden" in Jinbao Mountain, Taiwan Province, where Teresa Teng died, and "Yun Garden" is taken from the "Yun" in Teresa Teng's original name.

Since then, Teresa Teng, the queen of a generation of singers, has completely disappeared from the world.

On June 6st, Guo Tianwang was the first to bear the brunt and released his latest Cantonese album - "Legend of Innocence" in Xiangjiang.

In the first week of its release, the film sold 2 copies, crushing all singers who released films in the same period.

When Jiang Xiaofeng learned from Chen Jiaying that the new album "Legend of Innocence" by the king of heaven, Guo Fucheng, only sold 2 copies within a week, she couldn't help being a little bit surprised, thinking that this sales result is really not good.

Because Jiang Xiaofeng clearly remembered that his first Mandarin tape record "Jiang Xiaofeng" released in Xiangjiang also sold about 2 copies.

Facing Jiang Xiaofeng's question, Chen Jiaying also told him frankly: "It's different, and there's no way to compare it. You used to sell cassette records, but others sold CD records. The price difference is a lot."

"If your "Listening to the Maple" can sell 2 copies a week like Guo Fucheng, I will give you champagne to celebrate!"

Hearing Chen Jiaying's words, Jiang Xiaofeng said confidently: "Sister Katie, it may be difficult for my record to break 2 copies a week, but I think it should be no problem to break 5 copies in total sales."

Chen Jiaying smiled, and said earnestly: "Xiaofeng, it's good to have self-confidence, but you can't be blindly confident."

"You may not know the record market here in Xiangjiang. In our Xiangjiang, according to the IFPI standard, 2.5 is a gold record, 5 is a platinum record, 10 is a double platinum record, and 15 is a triple platinum record."

"Generally speaking, a newcomer like you doesn't have much fan base in Xiangjiang. Let alone selling 5 records, even if you can sell 2.5 copies, I'm already very satisfied with the achievement of a gold record."

After listening to Chen Jiaying's words, Jiang Xiaofeng realized that if a CD record could sell 5 copies in Xiangjiang, it would be considered a very remarkable achievement.

In addition, after Jiang Xiaofeng came to Xiangjiang, he found out that the price of Xiangjiang is very high. The price of a Cantonese CD is about 100 yuan, which is also shocking.

In fact, not only Hong Kong's records are expensive, but Taiwan's records are also expensive. The reason why Hong Kong and Taiwan's records are so expensive is the following four reasons.

First: the reason for the small number; record companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan are very conservative when releasing records, and generally only produce 1 to 2 copies and put them on the market
Second: Most of the records in Hong Kong and Taiwan are packaged by hand, the workmanship is perfect, and the printing quality and costs are relatively high.

Third: Hong Kong and Taiwan are in a rapidly developing social consumption and appreciation level, so the threshold for cultural products is very high, so the requirements for packaging, sound quality and packaging are particularly high.

Fourth: In order to ensure the profit margin of each sales link, the price issued by record companies is mostly around 70 Hong Kong dollars, and the retail price is between 100 and 150 Hong Kong dollars!

After learning about the record market in Xiangjiang, Jiang Xiaofeng realized that he was a little on the sidelines, and his expectations for the sales of his "Listening to Maple" album have also been lowered a lot. He thinks that he can sell 3 copies and get a gold record The results can be regarded as good luck.

May 6st, morning.

Today is Xiangjiang's rest day.

Jiang Xiaofeng held a new album signing conference at a record store called "Sky Music" in Sino Center, Mong Kok, Xiangjiang, to promote her first Cantonese album - "Listening to Maple".

What surprised Jiang Xiaofeng was that at the press conference, he actually saw more than 20 loyal fans holding his posters and records, and shouted his name in authentic Cantonese.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaofeng was really touched. Although his first tape record "Jiang Xiaofeng" sold well in Xiangjiang, he came to Xiangjiang for three months and rarely met fans who knew him. It is rare to be asked for an autograph or a photo.

In the end, what Jiang Xiaofeng didn't expect was that so many fans came all at once at the press conference of the new album today. For Jiang Xiaofeng who just came to Xiangjiang to develop, it was a timely help.

In addition, many Xiangjiang media and some Wang Fei's fans came to the scene. They came to Jiang Xiaofeng's new album launch purely because of Wang Fei.

Looking at Jiang Xiaofeng's flattered look, Chen Jiaying said bluntly: "Don't be moved by yourself, these fans of yours are all hired by our company."

Hearing Chen Jiaying's words, Jiang Xiaofeng's heart turned cold, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Isn't it, sister Katie? These are the fans you bought for me? I said why are they so enthusiastic and spent a lot of money?"

Chen Jiaying reminded: "Don't worry about these things. Every singer came here like this when they first debuted. The most important thing for you now is to adjust your state and give me a good performance later."

Jiang Xiaofeng sighed helplessly: "Okay, Sister Katie, I see."

Afterwards, Jiang Xiaofeng and Huang Fei made a grand appearance at the press conference under the "crackling" flashing lights of the media reporters and accepted interviews from the reporters.

When interviewed by reporters, Wang Fei also answered her appreciation for Jiang Xiaofeng, thinking that he is a very good singer-songwriter, and suggested that everyone should buy his record.

Jiang Xiaofeng was also at the press conference and thanked Wang Fei for his help and support.

After answering a few questions about the record "Listening to Maple", the reporters started to gossip and asked a lot of questions that had nothing to do with the record.

Because Jiang Xiaofeng was not well-known in Xiangjiang and had no gossip to ask about, the reporters focused their interviews on Wang Fei who was sitting next to Jiang Xiaofeng.

Reporter: "Hi Wang Fei, have you been back to Yanjing recently, did you meet your boyfriend?"

Wang Fei didn't want to steal Jiang Xiaofeng's limelight, so she replied: "I think everyone should stop asking me, and you should ask some questions about the record "Listen to Feng"."

However, a good news reporter did not let Wang Fei go, and then asked: "Hello, Wang Fei, will the way you and your boyfriend get along while living apart for a long time affect your relationship?"

Wang Fei was most annoyed by reporters asking about personal matters, and today was Jiang Xiaofeng's home game, his new album release conference. She came here to support Jiang Xiaofeng. She really didn't want to overwhelm the host, so she just said, "What does it have to do with you?"

The reporter choked for a moment and said, "Your fans are very concerned, they really want to know."

Wang Fei wanted to get angry, but because of Jiang Xiaofeng's face, she held back and said, "It has nothing to do with them, I don't think you should ask me, you should ask questions about the record "Listen to Feng". "

Seeing this situation, Chen Jiaying, who had been on the sidelines, was also very angry, and was ready to call and scold the bosses of these reporters.

Fortunately, after Chen Jiaying came forward, the reporters at the scene also began to restrain themselves, and were no longer as presumptuous as before.

After the reporter's interview, Jiang Xiaofeng sang the title songs of the two new albums "Next Year Today" and "Living Viva" at the press conference.

"Sing fast!"

"Not bad, the two songs he sang are much better than Guo Tianwang's new song."

"His Cantonese singing is very standard!"

"He looks good, and he sings well. I'm almost becoming his fan."

"..."

Some reporters in the audience, even Wang Fei's fans, and some professional fans, after listening to the two songs "Next Year Today" and "Living Viva" sung by Jiang Xiaofeng, were involuntarily conquered by Jiang Xiaofeng's singing.

In addition to the signing conference of the new album, Chen Jiaying also took Jiang Xiaofeng to variety shows and took him to the radio station to hit the charts.

Soon, after being promoted by TV, radio, and the media, Jiang Xiaofeng's song "Next Year Today" quickly climbed to the top of Xiangjiang Radio's charts and became the champion of the week.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Listening to Maple" album, because of the popularity of the song "Next Year Today", sold 1 copies in just one week.

Although the sales volume of 1 copies per week is still a little short of that of the "Heavenly King" Guo Fucheng, but as a rookie singer, he has just made his debut in Xiangjiang and achieved such a result, which is already considered very good.

It is true that Xiangjiang is indeed an international metropolis, and it is also a small place. When a song becomes popular, it can easily spread throughout Xiangjiang.

And the song "Next Year Today" sung by Jiang Xiaofeng quickly overwhelmed Guo Fucheng's new album with the same name title song "Legend of Innocence" without any temper.

However, the king of heaven is the king of heaven after all. Although Guo Fucheng's "Legend of Innocence" did not have any big hits, he still sold more than 5 copies in just three weeks due to his super popularity. 6 copies sold.

In the second week after the release of "Listening to the Maple", because of the popularity of the song "Next Year Today" in Xiangjiang, it sold 1 copies again, and the total sales exceeded the 6 mark, catching up with Guo Fucheng's more than 3. open.

And Jiang Xiaofeng became an instant hit in Xiangjiang with the song "Today Next Year".

Because of the song "Next Year Today", many Xiangjiang media, fans, and even new and old singers in the music scene have begun to notice that there is a male singer from mainland China who is rapidly becoming popular in Xiangjiang with thunderous momentum.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng's popularity did not attract the attention of the four heavenly kings, because they were used to it and became numb. Basically, every once in a while, a newcomer like Jiang Xiaofeng would suddenly appear in the music scene, and then quickly fall away.

ps. Thank you book friend Feng Fa Xieyang for your support, thank you, now the first order is 600, thank you for your gratitude, thank you.
