Chapter 100 The value of records has soared, and the first one has a multi-million-dollar endorsement!

September 15, afternoon.

Jiang Xiaofeng took his concert team to Shanghai.

After holding three consecutive concerts on the big stage in Shanghai that were well-received and well-received by thousands of people, Jiang Xiaofeng did not stop and rushed back to Xiangjiang to promote the new Cantonese album "The More You Kiss The More Sad".

September 20, morning.

Jiang Xiaofeng's fifth solo album and second Cantonese album "The More We Kiss The More Sad" was officially released in Hong Kong.

Due to the popularity of pre-sales, "The More You Kiss The More Sad" was released, selling 30,000 copies in Hong Kong on the first day of its release, directly reaching the gold record level.

On the second day after the release of "The More You Kiss The More Sad", Jiang Xiaofeng's fans in Xiangjiang continued to work hard and triggered another hot sale, selling 20,000 copies, reaching the platinum record status, making many Xiangjiang singers jealous.

On the third day of release, the purchasing power of Jiang Xiaofeng's Xiangjiang fans began to decline significantly, but he still sold 12,000 copies, ranking first in the same period for three consecutive days, and selling 10,000 copies more than the second place.

Objectively speaking, most of the sales of "The More We Kiss The More Sad" in the first three days were bought by Jiang Xiaofeng's old fans in Xiangjiang, and there were almost no new fans buying this record.

On the fourth day, the single-day sales of "The More You Kiss The More Sad" fell again, falling below 10,000 copies for the first time, with only 8,500 copies sold, but it still beat all its opponents in the same period.

On the fifth day, the single-day sales of "The More You Kissed The More Sad" dropped sharply again, with only 4,500 copies sold.

If the quality of "The More You Kiss The More Sad" is average, then the sales of this album will plummet, and the single-day sales may fall below 3,000 copies.

However, on the sixth day after its release, with the popularity of the album "The More You Kiss The More Sad" and the spread of songs such as "The More You Kiss The More Sad", "Under Mount Fuji" and other songs, the single-day sales once again topped 5,000 copies.

On the seventh day after its release, sales dropped slightly, but it still sold 4,600 copies thanks to several hit songs from the album "The More You Kiss The More Sad".

As for Jiang Xiaofeng's new Cantonese album "The More You Kiss, the Sadder It Gets", the total sales this week have reached a terrifying 85,000 copies.

Although the sales volume of "The More You Kiss The More Sad" was released in the first week of its release did not exceed the 100,000 mark, it was already the best result in the first week of a Cantonese album released by a Hong Kong singer since 1996.

For other singers, including the singers Zhang Xueyou, Andy Lau and others, the sales of new Cantonese albums in the first week of release were less than 50,000 at best.

In addition to Jiang Xiaofeng's "The More You Kiss The More Sad", Jacky Cheung's "Love and Symphony" released in March only sold 48,000 copies in the first week of its release. So far, in the 6 months since its release, the total sales have been

Only 180,000.

However, although Zhang Xueyou's Cantonese album "Love and Symphony" only sold a meager 180,000 copies, which is less than a fraction of his own Mandarin album, his sales performance is enough to stand out among the others.

Only ranked below Jiang Xiaofeng's "Cross Era".

There is no way, in front of Jiang Xiaofeng's amazing album "Crossing the Era", all singing gods and kings have to step aside.

You know, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Cross Era" album has so far not only exceeded 230,000 copies in Hong Kong, but also sold a terrifying 4.8 million copies across Asia.

In particular, after the song "Heart Is Too Soft" became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in the three places, the total sales of "Crossing the Era" reached a new level, heading straight towards 5 million copies.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng did not stop moving forward just because the album "Cross Era" was a hit, because his standard for being an artist is to be like Zhang Xueyou and Andy Lau, who can remain popular for many years.

Before that, there were not many singers as popular as Jiang Xiaofeng now, but the only one who could be at the pinnacle of his singing career for a long time was the "God of Songs" Jacky Cheung.

Later singers such as Adu and Daolang were also very popular, but they basically reached their peak when they debuted. After a year or two of becoming popular, they became has-been singers.

As for the "God of Songs" Zhang Xueyou, he has been steadily performing for more than ten years since his debut and has been popular for almost 10 years.

Of course, Andy Lau is also very popular, and his popularity is higher than that of Zhang Xueyou, but his popularity is not as pure as Zhang Xueyou's, because Zhang Xueyou's popularity is all due to his singing skills and singing career.

As for Andy Lau, in addition to his fame in his singing career, he is also famous in movies, appearance and temperament, and as a star.

To put it bluntly, Andy Lau's box office appeal in the Hong Kong film industry in the 1990s was more than twice as powerful as the three kings of Zhang Xueyou, Lai Ming, and Guo Fucheng combined.

Zhang Xueyou himself said that in the movie he co-starred with Andy Lau, he could only play a supporting role and the role of the younger brother.

As for Guo Fucheng, in the Hong Kong film industry in the 1990s, he could only play Andy Lau Dehua's son.

…

All in all, in the entertainment industry, which is a rapidly changing vanity fair, there are many people who have been famous and purple, but most of them are as fleeting as shooting stars.

If a singer or an actor wants to be at the peak of their career for a long time, in addition to the right time, place and people, they also need unremitting personal efforts.

Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about Li Ming, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. In the 1990s, he was indeed the king and superstar who moved the wind and rain.

But later, after Li Ming announced his withdrawal from the music awards ceremony in 1999, his popularity became less and less year by year. Later, he became so popular that he acted in TV series and went to remote mountainous areas to perform acupuncture.

On the contrary, Aaron Kwok has always maintained a good balance between work and rest. He has to work when he should, date girls when he should, and play with cars. He also has his agent Xiaomei, a kind wife, who helps him handle work and family affairs.

Jiang Xiaofeng doesn't dare to think that he can be popular for more than 30 years, because he is not a workaholic, and he cannot be as diligent and hardworking as Zhang Xueyou and Liu Dehua for 30 years, but he still needs to be popular for more than 10 years.

I also have confidence in myself.

Therefore, one week after the album "The More You Kiss The More Sad" was released in Hong Kong, Jiang Xiaofeng was still not idle. He went to Singapore, Malaysia and other places to hold his own Asian tour concert.

Wherever Jiang Xiaofeng's concerts go, it can be said that they are highly anticipated. Tickets are hard to come by, and screams and cheers are endless. In the Chinese Asian region, he is definitely the king of superstars.

October 10th, evening.

After finishing her 26th Asia tour, Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Hong Kong and ate and chatted with her manager Chen Jiaying in a high-end restaurant owned by her friend.

Chen Jiaying said with a smile: "Fengzi, let me tell you some good news. When you held a concert in Singapore, Pepsi-Cola approached me to discuss cooperation. They wanted to ask you to be the spokesperson for Asia. What do you think?"

After listening to Chen Jiaying's words, Jiang Xiaofeng was also a little moved. After all, those who can serve as spokespersons for Pepsi-Cola are all popular fried chickens, which are symbols of popularity, status, and fashion.

It is worth mentioning that so far, Pepsi-Cola has only signed two Chinese celebrities as their spokespersons.

Leslie Cheung was the first Chinese artist, and even all Asian artists, to endorse Pepsi-Cola. The cooperation lasted from 1988 to 1992. At that time, the spokesperson in Europe and the United States was Michael Jackson.

Andy Lau is the second Chinese spokesperson for Pepsi-Cola, and the cooperation period was from 1993 to 1995.

If the cooperation between Jiang Xiaofeng and Pepsi can be achieved this time, he will become the third Chinese celebrity to endorse Pepsi-Cola.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofeng asked curiously: "Sister Katie, how do they want to cooperate with us?"

Chen Jiaying said calmly: "The term is two years, the endorsement fee is 10 million, 5 million a year."

"The benefits of cooperating with Pepsi are not only tens of millions of endorsement fees, they will also give you enough exposure and sponsorship..."

After listening to Chen Jiaying talking a lot and analyzing the pros and cons, Jiang Xiaofeng became more and more excited.

After the meal, with the encouragement of his agent Chen Jiaying, Jiang Xiaofeng finally decided to cooperate with Pepsi-Cola.
