Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 296
() Because the box office of the last emperor was not ideal, it affected Fox’s forecast of the next film of Qiao Feng in the 20th century, and the film did not want to strive for the highest screening scale. The final influence was Ye Qianwen, Ren The movie bodyguard starring Dahua.
Guy because not only the actors and everything are Hong Kong people in this film, but the background of the story is Hong Kong, which makes Twentieth Century Fox even less optimistic about the prospect of this film.
People are not optimistic. The scale of the screening can only be arranged to 700 canvases. Qiao Feng simply suspended the negotiations with 20th Century Fox, and prepared to wait for the top ambition to watch the box office after the release.
However, it will take several months to wait for the release of High Aspiration Lingyun, or when it comes to painting, and then arrange the bodyguards as soon as November and December. It is not a problem to wait.
Therefore, Qiao Feng simply prepared to release the film in Hong Kong now, and let the Yankees see the box office of the film in Hong Kong.
In the past life, the movie The Bodyguard has a very good box office in North America and the world. In Qiao Feng’s opinion, it is because of the novelty of the selection of the film. It can be said to be thrilling, action, gunfight, entertainment and romance. Tenderness is successfully combined.
Another reason is that this film has several very, very good music. There is a saying that is very good, that is, the film may have a so-called audience group and scope because of the background and values, but the music is borderless.
The music is good or bad, even if you don’t understand the meaning in the lyrics, ignorance of any word will not affect your judgment of its quality.
Qiao Feng didn't know how many people liked the music after watching the movie, and how many people chose to watch the movie after listening to the music.
But Qiao Feng himself knows very well that he has heard the music for many films in the United States first, and he curiously chooses the movies to watch when he thinks the music is good.
Like human ghosts, Titanic, and this bodyguard are all like this, you first listen to the music and then choose the movie to watch.
Qiao Feng feels that for Ren Dahua and Ye Qianwen, two newcomers who are appropriate for foreign audiences, publicizing them, or letting them publicize, has no effect at all.
Rather than wasting energy in vain, it is better to start with the song directly, anyway, the soundtrack of the bodyguard has already been recorded.
Not only does Qiao Feng plan to play music promotion in the US, he also plans to try it out in Hong Kong.
Although Hong Kong’s popular music was already dominated by Cantonese songs at this time, it was mainly in Mandarin and English as early as seven or eight years or so.
Take Teddy Robin as an example. He was the first person to form a band in Hong Kong. His Playboy band was specialized in singing English songs, because at that time Mandarin songs and English songs were the mainstream in Hong Kong.
Others like Tan Yonglin's Wenna Band also sang English songs in the early days, and the album titles are all in English regardless of the album title.
At that time, only the Lotus Band of Xu Guanjie sang Cantonese songs. Oh, at first they couldn't be called songs. The music circle called it a slang minor.
It is precisely because Xu Guanjie is the first to sing Cantonese songs and has carried forward it, which is called the god of song.
Because apart from this reason, it is definitely impossible for you to say how good he sings and how much better than others. Whether it is Teddy Robin or Tan Yonglin, he will definitely not agree.
It is only because he has made a considerable contribution to Cantonese songs that he is called the God of Songs. This is the main reason.
In the early years, Mandarin songs and English songs were the mainstream. Mandarin songs were because Hong Kong was originally a Chinese territory. A large 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. , Also has this foundation.
Because of the foundation, Qiao Feng believes that the original soundtrack released by Ye Qianwen will have a very good result.
Ye Qianwen's English level is not good enough. To be honest, she is much better than her Mandarin. Besides, the songs in it are very accurate, especially the main titles I have nothing and I ill. ;Love You are two absolute classics.
Qiao Feng didn't believe that his grades would be worse.
And the facts did not disappoint Qiao Feng.
Ye Qianwen, who is well-known in the music and film world, has a large number of fans. When the news of her new album came out, it aroused great enthusiasm from the fans, and the new album ushered in rush as soon as it was released.
On the day of the sale, it broke one platinum, broke three platinum the next day, rose again to five platinum on the third day, and then the momentum began to slow down on the fourth day, got six platinum, and then got two platinum in three days, one A total of eight platinum golds were won this week.
The Hong Kong music circle was shocked for a while.
Due to the limitation of the record market in Hong Kong, the certification of gold records and platinum records is different from other places.
Because Hong Kong is just a city, the others are all countries.
So in other countries, like the United States, the gold record is 500,000 and the platinum record is 1 million, but the Hong Kong gold record is 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 eight platinum records a week are common.
In fact, before that, only one person in Hong Kong had achieved eight platinum album sales a week, and that was the album Bad Girl released by Anita Mui last year. At the same time, Bad Girl was also the previous record sales champion in Hong Kong.
Before Anita Mui’s bad girl, the highest record for Hong Kong records was held by Jenny. It was in 1979.
In 1978, Jenny’s new song was launched and sold, and the boom continued until 1979, when the total sales reached 800,000 sixteen platinum.
However, Mui Yanfang’s bad girl went on sale last year, and she got 400,000 pieces of eight platinum in one week, and then reached 720,000 pieces in three months, and 14 platinum. One month later, it has exceeded 800,000 pieces. Zhang Sixteen Platinum record record.
Before the bad girl, the media from Hong Kong and Taiwan had an indisputable argument about who was the first sister in the music scene, Ye Qianwen or Mei Yanfang.
In terms of record sales, whether it’s the wrong car soundtrack or the deep rain, the soundtrack is higher than Mei Yanfang’s record sales, but when it comes to Hong Kong’s influence, Mei Yanfang seems to be higher than Ye Qianwen .
Because Ye Qianwen's two original soundtracks are both Mandarin songs, while Anita Mui's are both Cantonese songs. Some people say that Mandarin songs are of course counted, but some people say that in Hong Kong, they are still Cantonese songs.
Noisy, very noisy, but Ye Qianwen has the upper hand in comparison.
But when the bad girl was released, all the controversy disappeared. Everyone recognized that Anita Mui was the first sister of the music scene in Hong Kong at this time.
Ye Qianwen has always cared about this. Qiao Feng has been comforted many times, but it has no effect. Now she is all right. After Mei Yanfang, she also has an eight-week platinum record, although it is an English song. dish.
