Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 141 A new Japanese song, don't think about it
Night, Warner Records.

After recording the Japanese version of "Fairy Tale", Chen Qiming did not go back to the hotel to rest immediately, but found the Mandarin version of "Fairy Tale" and listened carefully.

"I forgot how long I haven't heard from you"

"Tell me your favorite story"

"I thought about it for a long time and I started to panic"

……

Chen Qiming was a little fascinated by his magnetic voice coming from the tape recorder.

Before he knew it, almost a year had passed since he released "Fairy Tale".

The scene of his production of "Fairy Tale" seems to have happened yesterday.

At that time, when he sang this song, he felt very uneasy, worried about the final sales volume of the album "Fairy Tale", and worried about whether he could gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle full of strong players.

Now, he has undoubtedly established a firm foothold, and has reached a height that he didn't even dare to imagine at the beginning.

When he thought of the scene of recording this song by himself a year ago, he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

Life is so impermanent.

Who would have thought that a young man who could only sell tapes on the street would grow into the current king of Baodao and the king of pop in Asia in just one year.

After a little feeling, Chen Qiming immediately withdrew his thoughts, sat on a chair and meditated.

Is the song "Fairy Tale" suitable for "New Love"?

It is suitable, whether it is from the perspective of the original MV or from the lyrics of the song, it is very suitable for "New Love".

but……

Chen Qiming recalled the original theme song "New Love" of the same name.

This song is undoubtedly a good song.

Whether it is lyrics or music, it has reached a certain level.

Chen Qiming was hesitating whether he should also make it.

It's just that he doesn't have that much time right now, which makes him hesitate.

Da da da!
"You haven't left yet?"

There was a knock on the door and someone walked in.

Chen Qiming looked back, it was Andy Lau.

He's also recording tonight at Warner Records.

Don't look at Andy Lau's scenery outside, there are countless movie fans.

But to obtain these things, he paid a lot of things.

Busy is what he needs to give.

Even, Andy Lau may be busier than Chen Qiming.

360 days a year, he hardly spends recording records, holding concerts, acting in movies or even running events.

Even when you are busy, filming during the day and recording in the studio at night are the most basic operations.

"You haven't left yet!" The two have dealt with each other many times, and they often saw each other at Warner Records during this period, so the relationship is not bad.

Therefore, Chen Qiming's words were not too familiar.

"Writing a song?"

Andy Lau walked up to Chen Qiming, saw a pen and paper in front of him, so he took the initiative to ask.

"The original soundtrack of the movie that is not new, director Er Dongsheng and I originally planned to use "Fairy Tale", but I think it is more appropriate to use new songs for the new movie.

It's just that I'm still hesitating whether to use a new song, after all "Fairy Tale" is really suitable for this song. "

Chen Qiming touched his bald head and said.

Recently, I don't know when it started, but he actually got into the habit of touching his bald head from time to time.

Maybe... it's because the bald head is very comfortable to touch.

"There is no hesitation. If it is suitable, then use it. If you feel that the old song is not suitable for the new movie, you can also write a new song.

It is not impossible to put two songs together in a movie. "

Andy Lau moved a stool and sat not far from Chen Qiming, and said casually.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming was startled.

Indeed!It's because he thinks too much.

No one said that there can only be one theme song.

Even if there is only one song, he can still make "New Love" into an episode!
As for not having time to make this song.

He couldn't help looking at Andy Lau.

However, he immediately dispelled this idea.

Although this song can also be sung by male voices, Chen Qiming feels that, relatively speaking, female voices should be more suitable.

"What do you see me doing? Is there something wrong?" Andy Lau touched his face, wondering.

"I should be the one asking you! Are you free to do something? Just run away!" Chen Qiming asked back.

"Hey! I can't help it. It may be all night again today. I see you are still here, so I came to chat with you!"

Upon hearing Chen Qiming's words, Andy Lau suddenly smiled wryly.

"Then you may be disappointed, I may not stay for long, I will leave soon!"

As he spoke, he pouted his mouth towards the opposite side, "Aaron Kwok seems to be staying up all night today, you can chat with him."

Aaron Kwok eventually abandoned China Star Records and fell into the arms of Warner Records.

As soon as he joined Warner Records, Warner Records summoned the company's creators and began to tailor an album for him.

In the past few days, his album is being recorded in full swing.

"I don't agree with him on the topic. As soon as that guy chats, he starts talking about sports cars and things I'm not interested in." Andy Lau shook his head.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but nod his head.

Chen Qiming has dealt with Aaron Kwok a lot.

Except that he was not well-known at the beginning, so Aaron Kwok ignored him.

At other times, although the two are not very familiar, they still greet each other when they meet each other.

As far as he knows, Aaron Kwok is a sports car fan.

Every night I drive a sports car out for a stroll, and I often chat with people about sports cars.

Well, he and Lin Zhiying are the same way.

That person also likes sports cars, not only sports cars, but also racing cars, and sometimes goes crazy on the road.

It is no wonder that some people say that the two of them are brothers.

Unfortunately, the relationship between the two brothers is not very good...

"By the way, I heard that you are investing in "New Love"?"

Suddenly, Andy Lau asked curiously.

"Yes! I invested 400 million!" Chen Qiming nodded.

"400 million! That's not too much!" Andy Lau couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this, and then said with a wry smile: "I'm someone who has been here before, so I would like to remind you, don't invest too much in film and television investment, you see Now, I can't even eat every day, it's all because I play too much."

What Andy Lau said sounds quite funny.

But Chen Qiming also heard the sadness and helplessness from it.

Also, from 90 to 92, Andy Lau was definitely the most beautiful time.

Not only has he achieved good results in the film and music world, but he also became his own boss and invested in making movies.

If there is no accident, if this continues, he may become a big shot in the film industry in a few years.

pity……

As he himself said, he played too much, and he actually invested 6000 million yuan in a movie.

6000 million!

Jackie Chan's movies are well-known, but they are not as good as his "Legend of God of War".

However, this movie has a splash, not a small one, but a bloody one.

It is also because of this movie that Andy Lau directly entered the darkest period of his life.

The partners of the company ran away with money and were in huge debts of tens of millions.

It is also because of this that starting this year, he has started to work hard with his introverted peers.

This year alone, he has released seven new albums. Although there are three EPs among them, in terms of number, he has also become the person who released the most albums this year.

In terms of movies, he also acted in four films, and at the same time opened a round of nearly 30 concert tours.

It is no exaggeration to say that his introversion made the three who are also heavenly kings almost Alexander.

It also indirectly caused several other people to release records crazily and act in movies to increase their popularity and status.

"Thank you for the reminder! I just thought the script of "New Love" is good, so I participated in the investment.

If this movie hits the street, then I probably won't invest in it in the next few years! "

Chen Qiming thanked Andy Lau for his reminder, and then explained a little bit.

"As long as you have the numbers!" Andy Lau nodded, then looked at the time, "It's getting late, I have to go back to work, remember to say hello when your movie is released, I can't do anything else, but I can still help wave the flag and cheer of!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and walked out of the recording studio.

"Thank you! I'll call you then!"

Watching him leave, Chen Qiming said.

……

On October [-]rd, Chen Qiming finished his last scene in "Green Snake".

When the scene ended, it was announced that he had officially finished.

Like most movies in Hong Kong, this movie is a fast-shooting movie, and the filming took only more than 20 days.

As for whether the fast pace has any impact on the quality of the movie.

To be honest, this is not what Chen Qiming should consider. This is what the production company, that is, Siyuan Pictures, considers.

Although Chen Qiming very much hopes that the movies he starred in will double the word-of-mouth box office.

But that was obviously a difficult thing to do.

In some movies, he is not an actor who can influence the quality of the movie.

As such, he can only wish the film a box office success.

Then, wait for the post-production of the movie to be completed, and then try to cooperate with the publicity as much as possible.

After finishing the filming of "Green Snake", Chen Qiming's working condition finally relaxed a little.

He began to go all out to adjust his state to shoot "New Love", and at the same time, put more energy on the production of Japanese records.

As the first Japanese album, Chen Qiming still attaches great importance to it.

Especially now that the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan media are focusing on him, wanting to see what level his record can achieve in Japan.

This kind of attention, while increasing Chen Qiming's own influence, also brought a lot of pressure to Chen Qiming.

He himself was also afraid of a thunderous and rainy situation.

Before, he boasted that he wanted to look at the world.

The media reported all this and kept it in their hearts.

If his record hits the street in Japan.

He could imagine that in the days to come, he might face overwhelming ridicule and doubts again.

Therefore, when recording the original Japanese songs, Chen Qiming added another song to his Japanese album.

"Gaining Through Losing".

This song is the same as the song "Close Your Eyes Lightly" he produced before, and it is the work of a Japanese singer named Ken Hirai.

According to the information description in the dream, this song "Genening スルールージング" has also been adapted by singers from the future of Taiwan.

The Chinese version is called "Meteor Shower". It is the famous song and the only famous song of f4, an Asian group that is popular in Asia in the future.

Well, about this f4.

What surprised Chen Qiming the most was that this group actually held dozens of concert tours in Asia with just this song and a few rubbish songs.

In a word, awesome!
Because it is a temporary song.

So the production of the song "Genening スルールージング" can only be produced in Hong Kong.

And considering that the producers in Hong Kong are not familiar with Japanese songs.

So, this time, Chen Qiming himself acted as the producer of this song.

Because it is the first time as a producer, Chen Qiming is not very familiar with many programs.

As a result, the production of this song has been very slow. It was not until the tenth that Chen Qiming produced the accompaniment of this song while filming "New Love".

"Very good! Looks like you don't need us to be your producer anymore for your next album!"

Warner Records, Chen Qiming put the phone next to the recorder and played the accompaniment.

He didn't pick up the phone until the accompaniment was played, and Chen Xiunan on the other end couldn't help but praise him.

"You mean it's time to record?" Chen Qiming asked.

"I can't hear it very clearly from the phone, but I can generally confirm that it's OK!"

Chen Xiunan said.

After a pause, he said again: "If you are worried, I think you can ask the producer of Warner Records for help!"

"That's no problem. I've already asked someone, and they all think it's OK!"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded and said.

"Then you still ask me?" Chen Xiunan on the other end of the phone seemed to be full of black lines.

"I have always cooperated with you, and I only believe in you!" Chen Qiming said solemnly.

Hearing this, Chen Xiunan on the other end of the phone fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Thank you! Thank you for your trust."

"There is nothing to thank, you have taught me a lot, I should be the one to thank you!" Chen Qiming laughed.

"You boy!" Chen Xiunan couldn't help laughing and cursing, "If I knew you were so good at the beginning, I would never have taught you any production knowledge.

It's all right now, the apprentice of the church, the master is starving to death! "

"That's not going to happen. Don't worry, we will still ask you to be the producer of the subsequent Mandarin records." Chen Qiming laughed.

Hearing this, Chen Xiunan on the opposite side was silent for a while, and said solemnly, "The flying saucer should not last long, and Warner Records is speeding up the acquisition of flying saucers.

It is expected that next year, UFO may completely become Warner Records.

Your record deal with UFO is just an agency record deal, you'd better remind Fulong to prepare early.

After Warner acquired the flying saucer, the previous cooperation with the flying saucer may be affected.

You are most likely to be affected. Your record sales are scary, and the copyright is only in the hands of you and Furlong. Warner probably won't want to see this situation. "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming stood up and walked out of the recording studio, scanned the surrounding area, saw no one, and then said:

"Sister Ge told me about this, but I don't think I should be the one who is frightened.

If Warner wants to force us to hand over the copyright at that time, it will be a big deal to break up.

I think there should be a lot of companies willing to cooperate with us. "

"Indeed! Now you are qualified to sit on the negotiating table."

Chen Xiunan on the phone also agreed with Chen Qiming's statement.

Now that we have reached this point, Chen Qiming no longer hides it, but expresses an idea he has always had.

"What do you think will happen if I start a record company?"

Establishing a record company by himself was an idea Chen Qiming had always had, but due to various reasons, he could only keep this idea in his heart.

"Are you going to start your own business?"

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Chen Xiunan couldn't help exclaiming.

"No, my contract with Fulong is five years, and there are still several years left. I can't stand on my own." Chen Qiming said.

"Hurry up and get rid of your idea, don't tell people that you want to set up a record company!"

Chen Xiunan's voice on the phone was extremely solemn:
"Do you kid not know what you are now?
You think about how much you can earn from a single record. If your follow-up record sales are not good, then it is still possible for you to start your own business.

But right now, you'd better not think about it.

If this idea of ​​yours is known, there will be trouble.

Did you see Jet Li?
He is equivalent to you in the film and television industry, famous and charismatic, but how much effort did he spend in establishing Zhengdong Film and Television?

Moreover, I can assure you that even though his company is booming now, it won't be long before this company will definitely decline.

As for the reason, you should know that the company behind him is not willing to see him out of control.

The film and television industry is the same as the record industry.

If you have the idea of ​​establishing a record company now, it will not only make Fulong think more, but also make many companies think more, they will not want to see you become a carefree existence.

......"

Chen Xiunan said a lot in one breath.

Chen Qiming couldn't help but fell silent.

It took a while before he said: "I can't even set up my own record company, and I don't want to join this company?"

"No, you can indeed! But this will be misleading. Others will not know that you and Fulong have such a good relationship that they will not separate for the time being."

Chen Xiunan said.

After a pause, he continued: "Anyway, in my opinion, you'd better not set up a company at this stage.

Don't worry about the latter, no matter which record company cooperates with you, they will protect you!
But if you have the idea of ​​self-reliance, if they don't get it, I'm afraid it won't make you feel better.

So, let's develop well first!

Didn't you set up a film and television studio?You can develop in that direction.

Maybe a roundabout tactic may be possible. "

After hanging up the phone with Chen Xiunan, Chen Qiming couldn't help but smile wryly.

People are like this, just like in Tsui Hark's "Green Snake", greed is completely endless.

He felt the same way now.

When he debuted, earning money to support his family was his biggest expectation.

Later, becoming a popular singer like Aaron Kwok was his goal.

Now, he is not satisfied with just being a singer, he wants to become a serf and sing, and he wants to be a boss.

At this moment, he thought of Andy Lau, and he seemed to be the same.

But, he seems to have failed...

Shaking his head, Chen Qiming put aside his idea of ​​setting up a company.

Indeed, at this stage, it is better not to think about these issues.

Not to mention that his contract with Fulong is still several years away.

Even if it expires now, I'm afraid, I can only choose a big company to cooperate with!
Otherwise, what happened before Andy Lau and Jet Li could be vividly remembered...

but……

Chen Qiming thought of Fulong Company.

I might be able to invest in Fulong Company...

This is not impossible, Fulong has a great background, if he becomes a shareholder, he can do the same...
