Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 438 Piracy is prevalent

He Jin stayed in Japan for three days in total.

Within three days, the wave of boycotts against him in Japan that had been triggered by Mie Nakachi's suicide slowly subsided.

Although this incident still occupies the headlines of major newspapers, things are getting better.

Not only in Japan, but also in other regions, although this matter still maintains a very high level of popularity, it is no longer as unacceptable as it was in the days when it first broke out.

The matter gradually calmed down, and He Jin finally no longer had to stay in Japan. He took the opportunity to fly back to Xiangjiang on the 30th.

The concert, which has been postponed for about ten days due to the marriage proposal, will resume tomorrow night.

He had to rush back.

And just when his marriage proposal is making headlines in Asia, the sales volume of the "Me and You" album has quietly come out in the latest week.

The impact of the marriage proposal was so great that some people even committed suicide because of it, so almost all media paid attention to it and reported on it.

As a result, He Jin's English album sales figures were submerged in numerous marriage proposals.

But in Europe and the United States, the popularity of this album continues to rise.

Even after being suppressed by record companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, many large-scale piracy companies simply moved to other places.

But according to He Jin's memory, it seems that after 1998, IFPA could not hold on in the Chinese-speaking area, and they simply packed up and left.

They directly transferred the pirated production factories to mainland China where there is almost no awareness of piracy.

To be honest, He Jin never dreamed in his previous life that he would one day make Andy Lau sour and jealous.

The prevalence of piracy has naturally attracted the attention of major record companies in Asia.

Although the sales data did not attract much attention in Asia.

Bang bang bang...

The data reported by the Recording Industry Association will generally not be recognized.

As we all know, major record companies have a habit of falsely reporting record data.

"Hmph, I will kill you even if you die!"

But it's of no use at all.

Compared with the high production cost of laser CD, the production cost of VCD is low. As long as you have the technology, it can be produced for only a few yuan.

…

Since February, many manufacturers that have imitated Wanyan VCD have put their own imitation VCD players on the market.

After all, the honor of having two albums on the global annual sales list in one year is very dazzling.

The rise of piracy has not only affected the profits of major record companies.

This song has become a popular confession song in many universities in Europe and the United States.

Unfortunately, the album "Friendship" is a Mandarin album, and its sales are mainly concentrated in Chinese-speaking areas.

But fortunately, the Recording Association can still support it for now.

But that doesn't mean no one knows.

After being hit hard, on the surface, piracy companies in various places gradually faded into darkness, and began to change from large to small, from production by large factories to production by various small workshops.

Although He Jin's English sales news was overshadowed by his own marriage proposal news.

But other companies are different.

But since the first half of this year, VCDs have become popular, allowing more people to listen to music, and piracy has become rampant.

Because just this week, all four songs from He Jin's English album entered the top ten of the US Billboard.

As a result, these desperate guys began to pirate records for which they did not have copyright in order to compete for the record player market.

On the phone, it's called sour.

boom!

"He Jinsheng, I didn't expect you to be an undercover agent! I should have killed you long ago!"

If included, his influence will definitely be further enhanced.

In terms of sales, four weeks after the album was released, sales reached an unprecedented 6.7 million copies.

Without sales data, it would be completely irregular to calculate the Longhu Golden Songs Chart based only on radio demand and influence.

Even IFPA's Asian chapters have been hit.

"Just go ahead and capture me! You can't escape!"

But now, the entire record market is in complete chaos, pirated copies and genuine copies are completely mixed together, and there is no statistics at all.

On the morning of June 1st, in the small viewing room of Huaren Film and Television.

Therefore, although the Global Recording Association will make a rough statistics on data from the Chinese-speaking region, they will not include this data in the Recording Association's global list.

He released "Friendship" in December last year, and the total sales volume so far is 7.3 million. Even excluding the sales in December and January last year, this year's sales are more than 6 million.

On the screen, He Jin and Yu Rongguang first staged a car chase. As Yu Rongguang jumped out of the car, the sports car he just drove hit the wall on the side of the road, causing a bright explosion.

As a result, record companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places can only stare, because they have nothing to do.

For a long time, the Recording Association has had no way of making money in the Chinese-speaking region. It almost relies on statistical data, and then relies on fan voting or obtaining the copyright from the record company and selling Dragon and Tiger Golden Songs albums.

As the saying goes, if you have the ability to walk through walls, I have the ability to walk through walls.

Therefore, the Recording Association’s Golden Songs Chart naturally becomes less and less credible.

Since last month, many record companies have jointly raided the record market many times, and even sued several extremely arrogant large-scale piracy companies.

…

Among them, "mylove" directly occupied the third position on the bulletin board.

Although there are global record associations in Hong Kong and even Taiwan, due to the low influence of the record associations in the Chinese music scene, it is not possible to fully collect data on the Chinese music scene.

One month after its release, the album's sales have already ranked fifth in the world.

The data of "Friendship" is not included in the International Phonographic Association's overall list, which makes He Jin a little regretful that the two albums cannot be on the same list.

Fortunately, in the first two years, the records were mainly laser records and audio tapes. Although the prices of the two types were different, the quantity was pretty easy to count.

From February to now, according to unprofessional statistics, almost tens of millions of pirated records have been released on the market.

"Dududu..."

In addition, the Recording Association does not include the data here in the Recording Association's statistics. Another reason is piracy.

Especially Andy Lau.

As a result, the era of piracy came instantly.

Many of their companies are just electrical appliance manufacturers and have no record copyrights at all.

Fortunately for Huaxing, they own a large number of record copyright libraries, which is very convenient when profit-making records drive sales of VCD machines.

This data can already enter the annual global album sales list.

No, as soon as He Jin returned to Xiangjiang, he received congratulations from many friends in the industry.

Naturally, the Recording Association will not accept this kind of data that only record companies and singers know.

Afterwards, He Jin and Yu Rongguang started fighting fiercely on the road where countless vehicles passed.

Seriously speaking, He Jin should have two albums on this global annual list.

Among them is China Star’s China Star brand VCD.

Although "The Fast and the Furious" is called "Fast and Furious", the storyline is very different from the foreigner's one.

But the story is different. The compact plot, speeding, fighting, etc. are all excellent choices, and the viewers can't help but feel the adrenaline rush.

Watching the last scene on the screen end and the credits rise, He Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

In terms of his aesthetics, the film was a success.
