Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 145 released, moved to tears

NO.11, Chen Qiming finished filming his Japanese record MV in Japan.

At noon that day, as soon as the filming ended, he boarded a plane and flew back to Hong Kong.

"New Love" has his own investment, and he is also the number one male lead, so he attaches great importance to this movie.

Therefore, even though the Japanese album has already begun to be released, he still chose to return to Hong Kong to participate in the premiere to cheer for the film.

Before boarding the plane back to Hong Kong, the first thing Chen Qiming did was call friends.

He called several friends including Andy Lau, Liming and Joey Wong to help out at the premiere of "New Love".

At the same time, Zhu Yin was called over by him.

In the hotel not far from Yonggao Cinema, "New Love" held a small premiere here, and all the supporting actors and guests were here.

"It's funny that you called us to help and you're only here now!"

As soon as Chen Qiming came in, Andy Lau and others who were chatting with Er Dongsheng and other crew members saw him.

Wang Zuxian also laughed and teased him.

For this, Chen Qiming can only apologize.

He also can't help it.

The time was too tight. He had just finished filming the MV in the morning, and he was rushing to the airport as soon as it was over. If he could arrive now, there was no delay at all.

After Chen Qiming arrived, all the crew members of "New Love" arrived.

……

There was still a while before watching the movie, and Er Dongsheng led Chen Qiming and other leading actors to walk around the scene twice among the guests.

There are still many premiere guests today.

Many of Er Dongsheng's old friends were present, including Feng Quegong, Ye Dexian and other actors who had starred in Er Dongsheng's first work "The Story of the Blind Guy".

Even Chow Yun-fat, who hadn't made a movie this year and was on a break, came to the scene.

After greeting his friends with Er Dongsheng for a while, Chen Qiming took the initiative to leave there, and began to greet Andy Lau and other actors he had invited to help out.

Chen Qiming and Liming each took a piece of cake and chatted with Andy Lau who didn't eat anything while eating.

As for Zhu Yin and Wang Zuxian, they watched from the side.

The two of them also wanted to eat, but because they were afraid of getting fat, they could only endure it.

"Your song "Xin Bu Qing" is gaining momentum! It may be on the top of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking this week."

Liming took the initiative to mention the song "New Love".

The song has been very popular since it hit the charts.

Although there is still beyond's "Broad Sea and Sky" blocking it in the first position.

But as long as the movie "New Love" is a little more powerful, with the promotion of the movie, the song should be on the list soon.

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to be scolded to death by those music critics recently!"

As soon as he heard Li Ming's words, Andy Lau couldn't help complaining.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help laughing.

On October [-]st, Andy Lau released the album "Love".

From the perspective of music critics, this album is definitely another step forward in Andy Lau's singing career.

Most of the songs on this album are slow songs.

Andy Lau performed very well.

When it was released, it was well received by music critics.

While praising him for being able to sing, they are also predicting that Chen Qiming's "New Love" will definitely be trampled by Andy Lau's "Lover Happy Birthday".

only……

The result is that this song, which has been unanimously praised by Hong Kong music critics, has been trampled by "New Love" since its release on the [-]st.

This result is naturally not accepted by music critics.

At first, these guys thought it was the time when Andy Lau's songs were released, and there were not enough playbacks.

But two weeks passed soon, and this song just didn't surpass "New Love".

This immediately made the music critics calm down, and they all scolded Andy Lau for being too weak.

"The reason for the style! Your song style is biased towards slow love songs, which has a great disadvantage in the audience. If..."

"In today's situation, shouldn't you guys be talking about Xinbuqing? Why are you talking about songs? Show off that you can sing?"

At this time, Wang Zuxian, who couldn't understand the music knowledge chatted by the three of Chen Qiming, couldn't help but interjected speechlessly.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming and the three of them looked at each other, but they had no choice but to give up this topic and chatted about something new and unlovely.

"I'm afraid your movie will cause some controversy after it is released. You'd better be careful."

After chatting about something new and unlovely, Andy Lau suddenly spoke to Chen Qiming.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Qiming was a little puzzled.

"I haven't seen your movie, but I heard people say that your movie is meant to mock the Hong Kong music scene.

If it's anyone else but you...

You should know. "

Andy Lau said without stopping.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded.

Although the movie "New Love" is a love movie.

But its content does have the meaning of satirizing the current Hong Kong music scene.

In the movie, the protagonist Ajie is a creator.

But just because he didn't follow the public, to create saliva songs and adapt foreign songs, he was excluded by his peers.

This is not to make a mockery of what the adaptation of the current Hong Kong music scene is.

As Andy Lau said, if someone else plays the leading role, or even if Chen Qiming just plays the leading role without investment, it will not stir the nerves of many people in the Hong Kong music scene.

But it happened to be Chen Qiming, a native of Taiwan, Chen Qiming, a man who has made a big splash in the Hong Kong music scene with his Mandarin songs, and at the same time, he is also a creative talent recognized by everyone.

The convergence of various factors will allow Chen Qiming to appear in this movie, which will definitely cause discomfort to some people.

Several people chatted enthusiastically in the corner, which also attracted many people to come here.

Chen Qiming, Andy Lau, and Liming, the three top music stars standing together and chatting, this is definitely a unique scene, many people want to come up to say hello, but they are afraid of disturbing a few people.

Therefore, these people could only choose to pretend to chat around, occasionally aiming at Chen Qiming and the others, hoping to hear what they were talking about.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, a group of guests came to the nearby theater together with Chen Qiming and other leading actors, and began to watch the movie.

Of course, before the movie starts, it is indispensable for the creator to give a speech on stage.

As the male lead, Chen Qiming was naturally the first to appear on stage.

However, Chen Qiming never liked to make speeches, so he just said a few words casually and then stepped off the stage.

At seven o'clock, the movie screening officially began.

The down-and-out musician Ajie played by Chen Qiming, the ex-girlfriend played by Carina Lau, Amin played by Anita Yuen, Feng Baobao, Qin Pei and others appeared one by one, showing a clichéd but extremely touching love story for everyone.

When the movie was showing, Chen Qiming didn't focus on the movie, but observed the performance of the audience from time to time.

After just looking at it for a while, Chen Qiming was determined.

He found that many viewers chatted while watching the movie at first.

Watching and watching, slowly, there are fewer and fewer people chatting.

In the middle of the movie, apart from the sound of the movie, there are only the sounds of film critics and reporters writing manuscripts in the theater.

"What do you think?"

In the third row, Huang Qi adjusted his glasses and turned to look at his companion.

"It's a very touching story. Besides, the performances of the actors are also very explosive, especially Chen Qiming and Yuan Yuyi.

Their performance can definitely be called the level of actor and actress.

I am very optimistic about Chen Qiming, this guy is just like Tony Leung, he is born with acting skills. "

After a pause, the companion continued: "It's hard to imagine how he could compose, sing, and act by himself.

Is there really such a natural genius in this world? "

"I have nothing to say about the story and acting skills, but, have you noticed that this drama seems to criticize the Hong Kong music scene!"

Huang Qi glanced at Chen Qiming in the first row, and said in a low voice.

"This matter is none of our business, there is no need to get involved.

Moreover, the Hong Kong Philharmonic is always like this, others are just telling the truth.

If local creators in Hong Kong repost less foreign works, they don't have to be afraid of how Chen Qiming and others will satirize them. "

As the companion spoke, he couldn't help chuckling, "To be honest, I still admire Chen Qiming, he is talented, dares to speak, and is self-motivated.

Looking at others, they directly aimed at the Japanese market and plunged into it.

His idea of ​​expanding foreign markets is very similar to that of Jackie Chan.

This spirit is definitely worth learning for all Hong Kong and Taiwan musicians and filmmakers..."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly paused and couldn't help staring at the big screen with wide eyes.

It was the end of the movie at this time, and A Min, played by Anita Yuen, was terminally ill and lying on the hospital bed.

Ajie, played by Chen Qiming, is running on the street to buy a ring. He wants to fulfill Amin's last wish.

"I want to become a fairy tale"

"The Angel You Love"

"open hands"

"Turn into wings to protect you"

Chen Qiming's "Fairy Tale" sounded at this time. In the ward, as the ripples on the heartbeat detector on the machine returned to a straight line, Amin, who was looking out the door and waiting for Ajie's return, slowly closed his eyes.

She didn't wait for Ajie to come back with the ring in the end.

And when she died, Ajie, who had bought the ring and returned, was also hit by a car on the road and flew away.

His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his eyes were full of tears, and his nose was dripping profusely. He struggled to get up from the ground, regardless of the driver's yelling, and continued to run towards the hospital with a limp.

The scene of life and death, coupled with the touching lyrics of "Fairy Tale", made many people in the theater unable to hold back in an instant, and they couldn't help but shed tears under the emotional resonance.

In the movie, Ajie, played by Chen Qiming, sits in front of the hospital bed and cries loudly, with tears and snot all over his face.

In the theater, the audience sobbed softly and quietly wiped away their tears.

This scene made some reporters who were always paying attention to the performance of the audience couldn't help but take out their cameras.

click!
A cover photo of Tomorrow's Toutiao suddenly appeared in the camera.

Amin is dead.

Just when everyone thought the movie was over, the movie was still going on.

In the picture, Ajie is sitting in front of Amin's tombstone, holding a violin in his hand, and starts playing with a sad face.

A sad song "The Rain" began to unfold slowly.

Accompanied by the music, the previous scenes of the two began to appear on the screen.

Finally, the picture freezes on Amin's bright smile.

Then, the screen turned black, and the curtain call screen began to appear. At the same time, the song "New Love" also began to play.

pat!

The lights were turned on in the theater, and Chen Qiming and other main creators began to take the stage.

It wasn't until this time that the audience in the audience walked out of the play.

crackle crackle!

"Mingzi! You are so handsome!"

"I love you to death! I knew you wouldn't let us down with this movie!"

"Woooo...why did you let Amin die! Woooo..."

Accompanied by warm applause, many fans who came to support Chen Qiming in the audience began to shout their support loudly.

At the same time, there are also vulnerable little girls talking and crying, which makes people feel distressed.

The premiere is a public appearance before the movie's official release, and it's also a press conference.

After the movie ended and the main creative team took to the stage, the interview session began.

Many of the reporters who came today were all for Chen Qiming.

Therefore, as soon as the main creative team came on stage, these reporters wanted to ask Chen Qiming questions.

But Chen Qiming pushed all the problems to Er Dongsheng.

"I'm just an actor. The script of the movie was planned and written by Director Er for three years. Regarding the plot of the movie, it is best for everyone to ask Director Er. He will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer."

"The movie's ending, actually, I originally planned to end when the heroine died.

But not long ago, someone recommended me to watch the MV of Ming Tsai's "Fairy Tale".

To be honest, I didn't expect the story of this MV to be so touching.

Inspired by this, I thought of the ending of a song created by adding the hero at the end.

And this song was composed by our great talent Ming Tsai himself. "

Er Dongsheng obviously also saw the performance of the audience who came tonight, and knew that the movie was stable, so his tone was very happy, and he even joked:

"Mingzi, you have successfully conquered me. With this song, I will be your fan from now on. From now on, when your first album is released, you must tell me. I will buy one, and then put it all together. collect."

Hearing his words, Chen Qiming couldn't help laughing and said, "Is it just a fan? I think I did a good job in the movie! Can't I also be a movie fan?"

"Hahaha! Yes, I'm also a movie fan!"

Er Dongsheng couldn't help laughing.

I made a little joke to liven up the atmosphere, and the following interviews gradually returned to the focus.

Reporters and film critics began to ask questions one by one, asking some questions about the plot of the film and some things during the filming.

Until a reporter with a serious face stood up and asked a question.

He aimed directly at Chen Qiming and asked:

"Ming Tsai, we have discovered that many places in this movie are metaphors for the current Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles.

Excuse me, is this your idea?

Do you have a lot of dissatisfaction with the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene? "

As soon as this question came out, everyone immediately turned their attention to Chen Qiming.

This problem is not a small one.

Don't look at the reporters and film critics present here who are all holding Chen Qiming.

But in their view, Chen Qiming is always an outsider.

Therefore, if Chen Qiming really looks down on the Hong Kong music scene, it will definitely arouse public outrage.

"This matter, I will..."

Seeing this, Er Dongsheng immediately opened his mouth and was about to speak.

He wrote the script, and he also made the metaphor for the Hong Kong music scene. He didn't want Chen Qiming to take the blame.

However, Chen Qiming took the initiative to interrupt him, picked up the microphone and said:
"About your questions, I thought I could talk to you guys.

First of all, as to whether the movie is a metaphor for the Hong Kong music scene, I can admit that it is indeed a metaphor, not only Hong Kong, but Taiwan as well.

However, I think, this should not be a bad thing, there will be motivation only with spurs.

If you are motivated, you will create more good works.

I very much hope that the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene will have more and better works.

As for what you said, I am dissatisfied with the Hong Kong music scene.

I don't admit this. I don't know where you can see that I am dissatisfied with the Hong Kong music scene.

Here, I can honestly tell you that I also grew up listening to Hong Kong and Taiwan music. Many Cantonese songs in Hong Kong are sung in Taiwan.

Even if I am dissatisfied, I am only dissatisfied with certain things. Regarding the entire Hong Kong music scene, I can clearly say that I have no objection to it. "

The reason why Chen Qiming interrupted Er Dongsheng was not to show off.

It doesn't matter what Er Dongsheng says.

Since someone raised this question, Chen Qiming will 100% blame this shit on him.

Even everyone present today knows that Er Dongsheng is actually the person who alleges the bad habits of the Hong Kong music scene.

But there is no way, who made Chen Qiming's signboard easier to attract attention, and newspaper news about him easier to sell.

Therefore, instead of asking Er Dongsheng to come out to be unnecessary, Chen Qiming might as well explain it himself.

Moreover, there is one thing to say, the problems mentioned in "New Love" are basically the bad habits of the current Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.

So what if you point it out, the big deal is that some guys who are jealous of him will make a fuss about him.

And to be honest.

If he had just debuted, Chen Qiming might still have attached great importance to the record market in Hong Kong.

but now……

Originally, the Mandarin record market has been growing in recent years.

This year, this market has undisputedly become the number one market in the Chinese music scene.

Look at eight years.

At that time, Hong Kong singers released records, basically only in Cantonese.

And now!

Regardless of the big-name singers or first- and second-tier singers, they all began to release Mandarin records.

Even, some singers even went directly to Baodao to develop.

Why is this?

It's not because Mandarin records are more profitable.

For Cantonese records, if you release one, the highest sales volume will be 60 million copies at most.

And this data is actually just ordinary in the current Mandarin record market.

Since last year, more and more Mandarin albums have sold millions.

This year, there are three albums with sales exceeding 500 million, namely "The Heart Is Too Soft", "Kiss Goodbye" and "Flower Heart".

Under such circumstances, who can bear to continue to nest in the small land of the Cantonese market?
Since Hong Kong singers want to release Mandarin records.

Then, the last thing they would do is boycott Chen Qiming.

If they dare to boycott Chen Qiming in Hong Kong.

The company behind Chen Qiming would choose to boycott their Mandarin records in Taiwan.

Most smart singers in Hong Kong would never do this kind of thing that would harm their own interests just because of a piece of news.

Singers won't boycott Chen Qiming, so the rest are just some music critics and masters of music arrangement.

And these people.

To be honest, no matter how much they resisted him, Chen Qiming would not be afraid of them.

Because he wouldn't ask them to write songs for him.

Therefore, after facing the reporter's question, Chen Qiminghao admitted without hesitation that the film is in the dark corner of the Hong Kong music scene.

Of course, mixed with the entertainment industry.

Some things must not be said too harshly, you have to save some face.

Therefore, while Chen Qiming expressed his dissatisfaction with some things, he also expressed his respect for the Hong Kong music scene.

Brush brush!
The reporters below were writing quickly.

Chen Qiming glanced at Er Dongsheng.

He immediately understood, and immediately ordered a film critic to get up and continue the film interview.

Film critics apparently don't care about the music scene.

As soon as the film critic who was clicked stood up, he immediately expressed his love for the film:

"Without a doubt, this is definitely the best movie I have seen this year. I am very grateful to the crew for inviting me to watch the movie, thank you."

After expressing his gratitude, the man immediately started to praise Chen Qiming.

"Chen Qiming, to be honest, I never thought you could get the best newcomer last year.

When the judges voted for the Academy Awards, I voted for Anita Yuen. In my opinion, among the newcomers last year, she was definitely the one with the best acting skills.

However, today's movie, Chen Qiming, you really gave me a surprise.

Under your interpretation of the role of Ajie, I can't see a trace of Chen Qiming.

For a moment, I almost thought you were Ajie himself.

I can only say that your performance has successfully moved me. If you can be shortlisted for Best Actor in this year's Academy Awards, I will vote for you. "

"Thank you very much!"

Chen Qiming hurriedly thanked him.

While thanking, he couldn't help but glance at Er Dongsheng.

This guy is worthy of being from an acting family, and he has so many friends.

The judges of the Academy Awards are all invited.

Of course, the judges of the Academy Awards are actually not very good positions.

Most of the famous directors and film critics are judges.

It can only be said that Chen Qiming is very happy with what this guy said.

He didn't expect that he would be so close to the Academy Awards.

The film critic, who was also a judge of the Academy Award, finished praising Chen Qiming, and then started to praise Anita Yuan.

It can be seen that he likes Anita Yuan's performance very much, and he almost praised her to the sky.

Next, Andy Lau, Li Ming, Wang Zuxian and others who came to help out stood up and said a few words.

They came to help, mainly for this moment.

At the end of the movie, stand up and give a shit about the movie.

Well, this is also the way of the world.

Today Andy Lau came to support Chen Qiming's movie and said a lot of amazing things about the movie.

Afterwards, when his movie was released, as long as he was invited, Chen Qiming would also go.

Then no matter whether the movie is good or bad, it’s just bragging, bragging about how wonderful the movie is, how powerful it is, how much I like it, etc.

To a certain extent, this kind of support is actually just to let the fans or fans of the guests to watch this movie.

Just like Andy Lau, he boasted a lot of "New Love" here today, and it will definitely be published in the newspaper the next day.

Even if there is no newspaper to take the initiative to publish, the crew will find a way to buy news to publish.

Then his fans and fans will spend money to buy tickets to watch the movie when their idol recommends it so much.

Of course, this kind of support still needs to be cautious.

A film that is too bad is easy to lose character.

If you recommend it a few more times, the fans will not buy it.

After all, not all fans are fools, they also understand the human relationship in the entertainment industry.
