Chapter 48 The Legend of the City That Never Sleeps

Tsim Sha Tsui Ocean Terminal, Haitian Restaurant.

"Brother Guang, when do you think they will invite you to sing here?" Lu Dongjie pointed to the big light box at the door, turned around and said to Yi Guang with a smile.

"I didn't have enough classes before, but now...hehe, I guess it still won't work." Yi Guang also smiled, shook his head, and walked in.

Haitian Restaurant is a Chinese-style restaurant nightclub and one of the nine largest restaurant nightclubs in Hong Kong. Hong Kong government agencies, foreign-funded enterprises, and local large companies usually like to hold banquets here.

Chinese-style restaurants and nightclubs have been in the ascendant in the past ten years. With the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, the original restaurant model can no longer meet the social consumption needs of more business people.

So smart businessmen broke the inherent pattern of restaurants one after another, added restaurants and nightclubs to operate them together, integrated catering and entertainment, expanded the area, renovated, purchased entertainment equipment, and added a central stage.

During the day, food and beverages are normally operated. After 9:30 in the evening, the nightclub will be opened, with bands and singers singing, and a dance floor for guests to dance. It has become a high-end place for nightlife and entertainment for the upper class of society.

"There is a mysterious beauty like you in my heart

Because you have true love and leave me with eternal memories

I will never forget the care and encouragement you gave me

Could it be that I love you from the bottom of my heart..."

Lu Dongjie and the two followed the waiter's lead and walked in. As soon as they entered, they could feel that the atmosphere inside was quite warm. The familiar bean paste voice was still amazing. The guests in the audience were very quietly enjoying the singing of the singer on the stage.

, no one was making any noise, and the occasional chat and laugh did not affect the other guests at the next table.

Lu Dongjie looked at the figure singing and dancing on the stage, and couldn't help but sigh that the style of this singing legend is really unforgettable. He was wearing a black evening dress that fit tightly, with wavy hair hanging casually around his shoulders, and wearing a pair of long black gloves in his hands.

, every frown and smile made her whole person exude an aura that was hard to look directly at, especially the sparkling diamond earrings under her ears, which added a bit of nobility.

This is Sister Xiaofeng, who is known as the Oriole of Xiangjiang. I heard that she is the most exquisitely dressed among the singers in Xiangjiang. She is as long as she should be and as short as she should be. She wears red and green. Her clothes are even better than those of other singers.

There are more than two fashion stores, and every time the seasons change, tens of thousands of dollars are spent on clothing alone. If Miss Feng, who loves beauty so much, doesn't work harder, how can she support her beautiful self?

"Sheng Wang, Mr. Lin, I'm sorry for being late again." Lu Dongjie smiled apologetically.

"Ha, good things never come late, but you missed Sister Xiaofeng's graceful grace, and it is your loss." Wang Xin waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Take a seat, please. What would you like to drink?" Lin Zhixin said very politely. He is the host tonight.

"Brandy bar" Yi Guang looked at the half bottle of wine on the table and just went with the guests.

"This is my first time drinking in such a high-end nightclub. Thank you very much, Mr. Lin. I'll toast you with this drink first." Lu Dongjie also took the first drink wisely.

"What are you talking about? I have had a wonderful turnaround this time. I should be the one to thank you." Lin Zhixin said humbly.

"You two are so hypocritical. It's obviously the result of everyone's concerted efforts. Why do you have to push me to give in? According to me, everyone is drinking for themselves first. Cheers to this record sales and a successful start!" Wang Xin stood cheerfully.

He stood up, picked up his wine glass and drank with the other three people.

People feel refreshed when happy events happen. They have been working hard for a month and finally the joy comes to an end.

This week the International Phonographic Association has just announced the latest edition of the Golden Record List, and Lu Dongjie's "The God of Wealth" album is also one of the winners of this honor. The most interesting thing is that Wang Mingquan is also on the list at the same time.

, Zheng Shaoqiu's "Happy Years", their record sales just exceeded 15,000, but they lacked stamina and stopped there.

As of the end of February, local sales of Lu Dongjie's records have reached more than 30,000, crossing the threshold of a gold record in one fell swoop and directly obtaining a ticket to a platinum record. Although the sales data in Southeast Asia has not yet been released, it is expected that it will

Received sales of 20,000 copies.

Lu Dongjie, a dark horse, reached the platinum record in an instant, which greatly amazed several major local record companies. Many record managers have already sent people to inquire about the background of these three people to see if they can make further contacts.

The most direct indicator of measuring the commercial value of a Hong Kong singer is record sales. All sales are based on the sales of works. If the works are not strong enough, it is useless to say a thousand words.

Lu Dongjie's record was distributed and operated by Haishan Records. Of course, he also reported it to the International Recording Association, and then the Recording Association appointed an accountant to go to the record company to calculate the sales figures, and the results were announced regularly within a statistical period.

The sales statistics of gold records and platinum records are voluntarily reported by each record company. If the record company does not declare it, no matter how good the singer is, he will not be able to obtain the recognized sales data of platinum records. Oh, how many records did you sell?

Platinum sales are statistics compiled by record companies themselves? Who believes it?

There are many reasons why record companies do not declare. Some are conflicts of interest between singers and record companies, and some are boycotts between record companies and the Recording Industry Association due to interests.

What's more, the singer himself asked the record company not to declare it, because last month the tax bureau focused its attention on the entertainment industry, and many big stars received tax bills from the tax bureau, requiring them to make up for the previous years and prepay.

Next year’s taxes will be due. So for a while, people who make movies and TV shows don’t dare to openly talk about their remuneration, and those who sing and act rarely mention their income, for fear of attracting the attention of the tax officer for no reason.

Of course, Lu Dongjie, Wang Xin, and Lin Zhixin are just makeshift strategic partners. They have no grudges in the past and no grudges in recent times, let alone any disputes over interests. One is for fame and the other is for profit.

Just take what you need.

"I think you can also hold a concert here. I believe there will be a lot of fans coming to support it." Wang Xin pointed to the hall where almost all the guests came to support Sister Xiaofeng, and suggested with a smile.

"Here? Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Wang. We still have self-awareness. Dog meat is not allowed on the table." Yi Guang smiled wryly and waved his hands repeatedly. Yi Guang is also a singer who often hangs out in various singing halls, large and small. He knows very well what types and

What kind of occasion is a singer of this caliber suitable for? Even if you slap a swollen face, you won't look fat.

Lu Dongjie is not very interested in this proposal because it is not popular for Hong Kong singers to hold solo concerts in stadiums. Of course, some very powerful singers will occasionally hold concerts at Southorn Stadium or Lee Theater Theater.

, but more often than not, they still choose to hold concerts in nightclubs.

How much income can a concert in a nightclub bring? You can't make much money even if you work hard. You see, in order to maintain a decent appearance, Sister Xiaofeng on the stage sometimes has to visit 6 nightclubs in one night, so Lu Dongjie
