Two hundred and ninetieth chapters keep pace

Because the box office of the last emperor was not ideal, the 20th Century Fox made the box office prediction of Qiao Feng's next movies, and he didn't want to make the highest release scale. The final influence was the bodyguard starring Ye Shanwen and Ren Dahua.

Because not only the actors in this film are all Hong Kong people, but the background of the story is Hong Kong, which makes 20th Century Fox even more unfavorable about the prospects of this film.

People are not optimistic about it, so the release scale can only be arranged to be 700 yuan. Qiao Feng simply suspended negotiations with 20th Century Fox and was preparing to wait until Top Gun is released to watch the box office before the box office is discussed.

But it will take several months to wait for the release of Top Ambitions or to say that the painting will be released, and then the bodyguard will be arranged at the earliest, and it will be November and December. It will not be a big deal to wait for it.

So Qiao Feng simply planned to release the film in Hong Kong now, so that the Americans can also see the box office of the film in Hong Kong.

In his previous life, the bodyguard film was able to have a very good box office in North America and around the world. In Qiao Feng's opinion, it is because of the novelty in the selection of materials of this film. It can be said that it successfully combines thrilling, action, gunfight, entertainment and romantic tenderness.

Another reason is that this movie has several very, very good music. There is a saying that goes, that is, the movie may have so-called viewing groups and scopes due to its background and values, but the music has no borders.

The quality of music, even if you don’t understand the meaning of the lyrics, and not knowing any word, will not affect your judgment on how good or bad it is.

Qiao Feng doesn’t know how many people like the music in the movie after watching the movie, and how many people choose to watch the movie after listening to the music.

But Qiao Feng himself knew very well that he had heard of many American movies first, and he was curious to choose the movies he saw when he thought the music was good.

Like the human and ghost love, the Titanic and this bodyguard are all like this. You will only choose the movie you listen to first.

Qiao Feng felt that for two foreign audiences, Ren Dahua and Ye Qianwen, there was no effect in promoting them or letting them promote them at all.

Instead of spending energy in vain, it is better to start with the song directly. Anyway, the bodyguard's original soundtrack has been recorded long ago.

Qiao Feng is not only planning to play music promotion tricks in the United States, but also plans to try it in Hong Kong.

Although Hong Kong's pop music was mainly Cantonese songs at this time, it was mainly Mandarin and English seven or eight years ago.

Take Tadir Robin for example. He was the first person to form a band in Hong Kong. His Playboy band specializes in singing English songs, because Mandarin English songs were the mainstream in Hong Kong at that time.

Others like Tan Yonglin's Winner band also sang English songs in the early days. The albums they released were all in English, regardless of the album titles.

At that time, only Xu Guanjie's Lotus Band sang Cantonese songs. Oh, it could not be called songs at the beginning, but the music circle was called slang.

It is precisely because Xu Guanjie was the first to sing Cantonese songs and promoted them that he was called the God of Songs.

Because in addition to this reason, it is definitely impossible to say how good he sings are and how much better he is than others. Whether it is Tadir Robin or Tan Yonglin, they will definitely not agree.

It is only because he has made considerable contributions to Cantonese songs that he is called the God of Songs, which is the main reason.

In the early years, Mandarin songs were the mainstream. Mandarin songs were because Hong Kong was originally the territory of Chinese people. A considerable number of Hong Kong residents came from the mainland and had the basis of Mandarin songs. English songs were because Hong Kong was a British colony and also had this basis.

Because of the foundation, Qiao Feng believes that the original soundtrack of the bodyguard movie released by Ye Qianwen will definitely have a very good result.

Ye Qianwen's English proficiency is not good enough. To be honest, she is much easier than her Mandarin. Another thing is that the songs in it are very high and accurate. The two songs that are special, I have nothing and I Will Always Love You are absolutely classic.

Qiao Feng doesn't believe that his grades will be worse.

And the facts did not disappoint Qiao Feng.

Ye Qianwen, who is popular in the music and film industry, has a lot of fans. When the news of her releasing a new album came out, it aroused great enthusiasm among fans. As soon as the new album was released, it was snatched up.

On the day of sales, one platinum broke, three platinum broke, and another rose to five platinum on the third day. Then on the fourth day, the momentum began to slow down, and I got six platinum. Then in the next three days, I got two platinum, and in a total of eight platinum in a week.

The Hong Kong music circle was shocked.

Due to restrictions in the record market in Hong Kong, the certification of Golden Records and Platinum Records is different from other places.

Because Hong Kong is just a city, the rest are all countries.

So in other countries, such as the United States, gold records are 500,000, platinum records are 1 million, but Hong Kong gold records are only 25,000, and the standard for platinum records is only 50,000.

However, don’t think that platinum records are easy to get, and don’t think that platinum is common every eight weeks.

In fact, before that, there was only one person in Hong Kong who achieved 8 platinum records sales in a week, that was the album Bad Girl released by Anita Mui last year. At the same time, Bad Girl was also the champion of Hong Kong record sales before this.

Before Anita Mui’s bad girl, the highest record in Hong Kong record was maintained by Jen Yen, which was in 1979.

In 1978, Jenny's new song was launched and then sold well. The craze continued until 1979, with a total sales of 800,000 16 platinum.

However, last year, Anita Mui’s bad girl was released, and she received 400,000 copies of eight platinum sales in one week, and then reached 720,000 copies in three months and 14 platinum. In another month, it had exceeded 800,000 copies of sixteen platinum records.

Before the bad girl, Hong Kong and Taiwan media were very contentious about who was the number one sister in the music industry, whether it was Ye Qianwen or Anita Mui.

In terms of record sales, whether it is the wrong car soundtrack or the original soundtrack of Love and Deep Rain, they are all higher than Anita Mui's record sales, but in terms of its influence in Hong Kong, Anita Mui seems to be higher than Ye Shanwen.

Because both of Ye Qianwen's original albums are Mandarin songs, while Anita Mui's both are Cantonese songs. Some people say that Mandarin songs are of course counted, but some people say that they still need to be considered Cantonese songs in Hong Kong.

It's very quarrel, but compared to the fact that Ye Shanwen has the upper hand.

But after the bad girl was released, all the controversy was gone. Everyone recognized that Anita Mui was the number one singer in Hong Kong at this time.
