Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 132 China's Heavenly King Chen Qiming Joins Johnny's
"Excuse me, miss, are you..."

Chen Qiming always felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a while.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Shizuka Shimokawa Kudo!"

The woman smiled and reached out to Chen Qiming.

"Miss Shimogawa, hello!"

Chen Qiming shook hands with her while recalling information about her in his mind.

He said how could it feel familiar.

When he was in Baodao, he had seen news about her.

At the beginning of this year, he released an album "Lament", which sold 100 million copies in Japan and became a well-known song in Japan.

Just like when Chen Qiming's Mandarin records were selling well in the Mandarin market, he could achieve certain results in Japan and other markets.

Shizuka Kudo's album has also achieved certain results in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Therefore, in June, it also held a concert tour in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Chen Qiming remembered that her concert was just a few days after her own.

"Chen Sang, you are so majestic. Last time I went to Baodao to hold a concert, all the scenery was taken away by you. I almost didn't even sell out the tickets!"

This woman is a person who is very good at acting like a baby. Just now she was smiling all over her face, but in the blink of an eye, she has a charming appearance.

"That's so sorry!"

Although Chen Qiming was very puzzled as to why this woman came up suddenly, he kept silent on the surface and cooperated with her performance.

The two chatted without saying a word.

After chatting for about five or six minutes, she seemed to feel that the time was right, and she finally showed her fox tail.

"Chen Sang, I heard that you are coming to Japan to develop?" She asked.

"Yes, it has been confirmed with Warner Japan to release a Japanese album within this year." Chen Qiming glanced at her and said.

"It's amazing! With your talent, Chen Sang, you will definitely develop very well after you come to Japan." She looked like I admired you so much.

Chen Qiming smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Kudo Shizuka, who was waiting for Chen Qiming's response, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:
"Chen Sang, you came to Japan to develop, you haven't signed a brokerage company yet, have you?

If you are not Japanese, you may not know that in Japan, a good agency can help artists a lot.

Whether it is dealing with the harassment of some gangsters, or the promotion and image packaging of records, these are all inseparable from a good firm. "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help laughing.

Having said all this, he still doesn't understand that this woman is also here to be a lobbyist.

It's just that she is too incompetent to be a lobbyist.

In terms of friends, she and Chen Qiming met for the first time, so they were not friends at all.

And when it comes to beauty tricks, this woman didn't do anything other than flatter him.

Just like that, she actually wanted to persuade him to join her company as a lobbyist.

I really thought he had never seen a woman...

However, to be honest, Chen Qiming never thought that he would be so popular in Japan.

First Sony, then Johnny & Associates, and then the firm represented by Kudo Shizuka.

Chen Qiming remembers that when Shizuka Kudo was in Taiwan for activities, it was Boli Jiayin Records who helped her plan various activities.

Poli Jiayin is a record company spun off from Japan's Fuji TV.

From these, Chen Qiming was able to analyze which firm Shizuka Kudo represented.

It was the Yanyin firm that Chen Qiming had mentioned before when he was bluffing Ma Yekang'er.

Only this firm has a close relationship with Fuji TV, allowing Shizuka Kudo to use half-baked beauty tricks.

"Thank you, Ms. Shimogawa, for your reminder, I will think about it carefully.

Of course, Ms. Xiachuan can also tell your firm. If you want to discuss this matter, you can negotiate with my brokerage company, Fulong Company. "

As he said that, Chen Qiming spread his hands helplessly, "You know, artists always say things insincerely. My manager is in Fulong's hands. No matter what I want, there is nothing I can do."

What does a brokerage firm do?

In addition to dealing with the artist's affairs.

It is also a good target for blame.

Whenever Chen Qiming encounters an invitation that is inconvenient to refuse or does not want to accept, he can usually push it to Fulong.

Anyway, I'm actually an artist without rights.

The brokerage company has the power to control my life and death. If you want me to help you with something, you can find my brokerage company.

This kind of situation where the brokerage company is the scapegoat must exist.

Especially popular singers like Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming often meets some colleagues in the entertainment industry, such as film directors, TV drama producers, and even popular artists who want to prostitute him for nothing.

When encountering these people, if there is no agency company to take the blame, Chen Qiming is really difficult to deal with.

Agreed, nine times out of ten it will harm my own interests, for example, the movie opposite is bad and so on.

If you disagree, you will offend others.

Therefore, letting Furlong take the blame is the best way.

If you are capable and can afford the money, Fulong Company will definitely not refuse to cooperate with you, and everyone will be happy.

But if you can't afford the price, it's Fulong who rejects you, not me, Chen Qiming.

Well, Liu Ciwei taught Chen Qiming all these things.

The main reason is because he agreed to star in "Green Snake" last time.

Because this film collided with a big production that Fulong was going to accept for Chen Qiming.

Well, that play is called "The Legend of Modern Heroes", directed by To Qifeng, who has been in the top ten box office charts in Hong Kong for a while in recent years, and invited Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh and others.

Fulong agreed that the prospect of this film would be better than Tsui Hark's "Green Snake", so he was very dissatisfied with Chen Qiming taking Tsui Hark's play without authorization.

But the dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction. After Chen Qiming sincerely apologized and said that there would be no more next time, they sent another general of the company Takeshi Kaneshiro to replace him.

And Liu Ciwei taught Chen Qiming this set of words to reject people.

"I know, but I believe it is impossible for you, Chen Sang, to have no right to speak."

Shizuka Kudo obviously didn't believe Chen Qiming's words.

That's right, with Chen Qiming's popularity, it would be a bit silly to believe that he has no right to speak in the brokerage company.

"Chen Sang, our Yanyin is really sincere, as long as you agree to join Yanyin..."

As Kudo Shizuka said, she took the initiative to move closer to Chen Qiming, as if I belonged to you.

In this regard.

Chen Qiming didn't even believe it.

He's going to believe this today, and he won't play in this business in the future.

I really think that small Japanese companies are doing good deeds.

Let's not talk about whether Shizuka Kudo would like to spend a moment with Chen Qiming.

Even if he wanted to, Chen Qiming didn't dare.

Who can guarantee that Yanyin will use this to threaten him in the future?

Therefore, Chen Qiming was unmoved at all, and stood up directly, and said with a smile:

"I believe that you are sincere, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together."

After speaking, he left here quickly.

His meaning is very clear, that is, you go to Fulong, if Fulong agrees, I will agree.

"What happened to that woman just now? Don't mess around in Japan. This is not our territory. There are some things we can't handle."

Just as Chen Qiming left, Li Xiaowen, who had been socializing with people at the banquet before, approached him and reminded him.

"The Yanyin firm wants me to take the initiative to find a company and ask them to be an agent."

Chen Qiming said as he walked.

After a pause, Chen Qiming said: "You release the news, saying that Yanyin is also in contact with me, to increase the pressure on Johnny's and let the company take more initiative."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help laughing, "To be honest, I didn't even think that I'm so popular in Japan."

"You underestimate yourself too much, you are now the most popular singer in the Chinese music scene, although Japan is not your territory.

But here, there are also many people listening to your songs.

and……"

Li Xiaowen glanced at Koji Makaiye who was talking with someone not far away, "Also, Koji Makaiye seems to have passed on the fact that you have composed some very good Japanese songs."

Hearing this, Chen Qiming paused, frowned and said, "He leaked the song?"

At present, Chen Qiming's Japanese album is still producing accompaniment, although he has registered these songs with the Copyright Association of Japan.

But if the song is leaked, it will also cause some unnecessary troubles.

Just like there are scum everywhere.

Japan also has no shortage of plagiarists.

And, a lot more.

If Ma Kaiye Yasuji really leaked his songs to others.

Then Chen Qiming felt that there was no need for him to continue to be the producer of this record.

Li Xiaowen shook his head:
"No, how dare he, Japan Warner is not a soft persimmon, if he dares to leak it, he might sink into the ocean tomorrow.

When he was interviewed and talked with people, he said in person that your Japanese songs are very good, and that you may become another Chinese singer who will succeed in the Japanese music scene. "

"That's it!" Chen Qiming nodded.

He said that with Ma Kaiye Yasuji's years of experience in the circle, he shouldn't be so stupid.

Co-author, I misunderstood others.

……

The next day, Liu Ciwei flew from Taiwan to Japan.

As soon as he came, Chen Qiming asked Ma Jinye Koji to contact Johnny's Office.

The two parties made an appointment to meet in a coffee shop to discuss Chen Qiming's Japanese brokerage appointment.

After all, it was related to his own development in Japan, so Chen Qiming followed suit.

"Mr. Liu, welcome to Japan."

"Mr. Chen Qiming, it's really great to meet you, I really like your songs, I've listened to that song "Fairy Tale" many times.

I would like to become the angel you love in fairy tales...

The lyrics are so well written. "

As soon as we met, the president of Johnny & Associates greeted him warmly.

Liu Ciwei could see the sincerity of Johnny's office being able to be negotiated by the president himself, so in the ensuing conversation, he didn't appear too aggressive.

The negotiation between the two parties went smoothly.

Fulong wants Johnny & Associates to help promote Chen Qiming in Japan.

Johnny's & Associates valued Chen Qiming's influence in the Asian Chinese music scene, and wanted to use this to add another general to the company.

The two parties hit it off immediately, and in just two hours, they finalized the specific cooperation details.

The two parties agreed that Fulong would hand over Chen Qiming's agency rights in Japan to Johnny & Associates, and Johnny & Associates would be responsible for all of Chen Qiming's activities in Japan except Mandarin records.

As for the proceeds from these activities, except for Chen Qiming's share, the rest will be shared equally between Fulong and Johnny's Office.

Originally, according to the contract between Chen Qiming and Fulong Company, Fulong Company could only get [-]% of Chen Qiming's brokerage commission.

But considering that after Johnny & Associates joined, it is not appropriate for the two companies to only split [-]%.

In addition, Chen Qiming is equivalent to making a new debut in Japan, and his popularity and influence are not as good as those in China.

Therefore, Chen Qiming was forced to give up [-]%.

Chen Qiming didn't want to either.

But there is no way, what status matches what kind of contract.

In Japan, a place where Chen Qiming's own influence is almost a little bit, he can continue to get [-]%, which is already due to his high popularity in Chinese-speaking regions.

If he is not allowed to come out, it is obviously not enough to rely on Fulong alone to successfully make Chen Qiming a front-line player in Japan.

Therefore, this percentage was given up by Chen Qiming himself.

Of course, the contract between the two parties has also divided some businesses that do not share with Johnny & Associates.

Like records.

Chen Qiming's Japanese record is a collaboration between Fulong and Warner.

Although it may choose to be made in Japan when making it.

But the name of the production is still Fulong Records.

In addition, the production of Japanese records, expenses, hire of producers, and purchase of songs are almost all in charge of Fulong.

It is impossible for Fulong to let Johnny & Associates intervene in Chen Qiming's record revenue at this time.

Therefore, in general, although Johnny & Associates will be responsible for most of Chen Qiming's affairs in Japan, their income mainly comes from Chen Qiming's endorsement and commercial performances in Japan.

While receiving a share of these incomes, Johnny's & Associates naturally also had to pay a corresponding price.

First of all, when Chen Qiming's debut album in Japan was released, Johnny & Associates had to help provide a debut plan.

Even, they need to provide resources and channels to promote Chen Qiming.

For Fulong's proposal, Chen Qiming originally thought that Kitagawa would refuse.

But what he didn't expect was that Kitagawa readily agreed.

It was as if he believed that Chen Qiming's record would be successful, or that Chen Qiming would make money for them in Japan.

Johnny's Office acted very quickly. They signed all the contracts with Liu Ciwei the day after the cooperation was negotiated.

And soon announced with a high profile that Chen Qiming had officially joined Johnny's.

"China King Chen Qiming Joins Johnny & Associates"

"Johnny & Associates Adds Another General, Chinese Superstar Chen Qiming Joins"

"Kitagawa: "The joining of Chen Qiming will be another leap forward for Johnny""

"Brief Introduction of Chen Qiming, Record Holder of Annual Record Sales in China"

The influence of Johnny & Associates in Japan was fully displayed in front of Chen Qiming and Liu Ciwei in just one day.

Many authoritative magazines in Japan have published this report.

At the same time, under the instruction of Johnny, some tabloids almost failed to blow Chen Qiming into the sky.

"Chinese Version Tamaki Koji"

"Chinese version of Masahiko Kondo"

"China's No. [-] Superstar"

"Michael Jackson's Enemy"

All kinds of names that made Chen Qiming feel ashamed were all assigned to him.

People are curious.

Chinese people have never heard of Michael Jackson, but they will inevitably become curious about him when they hear the title of the world's number one pop king.

It is the same in Japan.

With the support of many names and the bombardment of newspapers and magazines, in just a few days, countless people throughout Japan knew that a Chinese king named Chen Qiming had joined Johnny & Associates.

Then get to know him.

Under the influence of such huge enthusiasm, Chen Qiming's "The Heart Is Too Soft" and "Fairy Tale" actually ushered in a wave of small explosions in Japan again.
