Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 164 Being tricked by the award, shame
There has always been such a law in the entertainment industry.

That is to see if an artist is popular or not, and to see if he is busy.

The more popular artists are, the busier they tend to be, whether it is the frequency of appearances in records, movies, events, commercial performances or even award variety shows.

Of course, the salted fish counts separately.

As for Chen Qiming, as the hottest artist this year, his busyness is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

The Top Ten Idols on January [-] just ended, and before Chen Qiming had time to rest for a day, the next day, he flew to Hong Kong with Andy Lau and others who came to Taiwan to attend the Top Ten Idol Awards Ceremony.

In January, this is a time for singers to check the performance of the previous year.

This month in various regions, various music awards have begun to start frequently.

On January 13th, Chen Qiming will attend the Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony, then No. 15, he will attend the Top Ten Golden Songs, and then, No. [-], Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Music Awards Ceremony organized by Hong Kong Commercial Radio.

The three music awards are almost all consecutive.

He attended three music awards in Hong Kong, and on the [-]th, he will fly to Singapore again.

This year, Singapore Mediacorp Radio's YES 93.3FM channel officially launched a music award.

This award is named the Singapore Golden Melody Award, which aims to promote the music industry in Singapore and reward outstanding Chinese musicians at home and abroad.

Because it was the first session, most of the Hong Kong and Taiwan singers were invited, and so was Chen Qiming.

He was shortlisted for Best Album Production, Most Popular Male Singer, Best Golden Melody, Best Lyrics, Best Composition and many other heavyweight awards.

Just like him is Jacky Cheung.

Undoubtedly, this is another collision between Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung after the album sales battle in April.

In Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan, this matter has been fired again.

Although in terms of sales, Chen Qiming undoubtedly defeated Jacky Cheung.

But in terms of awards, it is not certain whether they can beat or not.

As we all know, the selection of record awards is not based entirely on sales and popularity.

Therefore, many Baodao media are predicting how Singapore Radio will comment.

However, this incident did not cause much sensation in Hong Kong.

The main reason for this is that several major awards in Hong Kong will start soon.

Under the impact of awards such as the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, the awards in Singapore did not receive much attention here.

After Chen Qifei arrived in Hong Kong, he first attended several events.

Then I went to Taiping Bird Clothing Co., Ltd.

Although Chen Qiming has been busy with his acting career, he still attaches great importance to this clothing company.

Almost every few days, he would call here to ask about the company.

After several months of development, Taiping bird has now established a garment factory in the mainland and started to mass produce the suit designed by Chen Qiming.

At the same time, in terms of market expansion, the company has contacted more than a dozen stores in Hong Kong and reached cooperation with them. After the production of Taiping bird's clothing is completed, it can be sold in these stores.

In addition, the company has also contacted many stores in Taiwan and even in the mainland to reach cooperation with them.

As long as the garment production is completed, it will be put on the market immediately.

Of course, before that, publicity must be in place.

It is said that starting a company and doing business is the easiest way to lose money.

This statement is not false at all.

In October, Chen Qiming just injected 500 million Hong Kong dollars into Peacebird.

By January, there was not much money left.

He couldn't even afford to ask Chen Qiming to act as an endorsement for an advertisement.

Some people may say, isn't this your company?Why do you have to pay?

The principle is actually such a principle.

But the most taboo thing about doing business is unclear accounts.

Especially big stars like Chen Qiming.

He has a brokerage company, no matter what he endorses or shoots in commercials, the brokerage company will draw money from it.

If the accounts of Chen Qiming and Taiping Bird are not clear, how should Fulong draw the commission?
What's more, even if Fulong doesn't care about this matter, this kind of thing must not be done.

A company is a company, and company accounts are different from personal accounts.

Personal money, you can spend it however you want.

But the company's money can't be spent casually.

Therefore, it is the most beneficial thing for Chen Qiming to separate the individual from the company.

Therefore, it is indeed possible for Taiping Bird to ask Chen Qiming to speak for it, and Chen Qiming is also willing.

But the account that should be paid is a must.

Just like this time, because the money in Taiping bird's account is no longer enough to ask Chen Qiming to endorse and shoot commercials.

Chen Qiming signed an agreement with Taiping Bird, allowing Taiping Bird to owe the money to Chen Qiming. After the company has money in the company's books, it will transfer the endorsement fee and advertising expenses to Chen Qiming's account as soon as possible.

As for Fulong Company's money, Chen Qiming personally paid in advance.

Well, that is, Taiping Bird only owes money to Chen Qiming. As for Fulong, its relationship with Taiping Bird is purely commercial. Taiping Bird invited Chen Qiming, an artist under Fulong Company, to endorse and shoot commercials.

On January [-]th, Taiping Bird asked the advertising director to shoot endorsement posters and advertisements for Chen Qiming, and announced the news to the public, and began to promote Taiping Bird in major media.

At the same time, Chen Qiming himself began to wear Taiping bird's tailor-made clothes for him and began to appear frequently in various public places.

Among them are three music awards in Hong Kong.

tenth.

The Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony was officially held at the Hong Kong Cultural Center.

Chen Qiming once again hit the headlines with a different outfit from the others.

Everyone else was basically wearing suits and leather shoes, only he looked casual.

This made him directly become the focus of attention of reporters and fans before the award ceremony began.

Of course, when paying attention to Chen Qiming's different attire from ordinary people, the major media are also very curious about what awards Chen Qiming can win.

Chen Qiming himself did not release an official Cantonese album in Hong Kong.

With just a Mandarin album and a Cantonese EP, they managed to make their way in Hong Kong, and their popularity is no less popular than the Four Heavenly Kings.

This once made many fans in Hong Kong call him the Fifth Heavenly King of Hong Kong.

As we all know, several awards in Hong Kong are very exclusive.

Even local journalists and fans in Hong Kong know this.

Therefore, many people are extremely curious about what awards Chen Qiming can win at the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony this year.

Under the curiosity of most media and fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan, at [-] pm that day, the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony officially began.

However, once the awards were awarded that night, they were immediately questioned.

Mainly because of Chen Qiming.

Because Chen Qiming didn't have a song shortlisted for the top ten Chinese golden songs, only one "The Heart Is Too Soft" won the gold award for excellent Mandarin songs.

"Chen Qiming's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony Failed"

"Four Heavenly Kings Reign Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs, Chen Qiming Not Selected"

"Madden!Chen Qiming's fans questioned the fairness of the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony"

"Leslie Cheung expresses his disappointment with this top ten Chinese, and feels that the awards have lost justice"

"Chen Qiming has a black face all the time, and did not attend the celebration banquet of the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, the reason may be related to the fairness of the awards"

The next morning, when Chen Qiming woke up, Li Xiaowen brought a bunch of newspapers.

Undoubtedly, his failure to make the Top [-] Chinese hits has made headlines today.

"Brother Ciwei has already called, and what he means is that since the awards in Hong Kong don't respect your sales popularity, there is no need for you to attend the subsequent awards.

Charity Viagra means to let you fly directly to Singapore. "

While Chen Qiming was reading the newspaper, Li Xiaowen said beside him.

While talking, she couldn't help but look at Chen Qiming carefully.

After finding that Chen Qiming was not too angry, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, last night, Chen Qiming's face should be the ugliest she has seen in the past two years as Chen Qiming's assistant.

Before, no matter how the media scolded him in the newspapers, he never seemed so angry.

However, when thinking about RTHK's approach, Li Xiaowen felt that everything was normal again.

Although several music award ceremonies in Hong Kong have a good influence in the Chinese-speaking region.

But for Chen Qiming, whose basic disc is the Mandarin record market, these awards are really not important to him.

However, the premise of all this is that RTHK does not play tricks on Chen Qiming.

Yes, RTHK played a trick on Chen Qiming.

When inviting him to participate in the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony, the organizer Radio Television Hong Kong once vowed to tell Fulong Company that one of his songs won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs.

I hope he comes to accept the award.

Then, Chen Qiming would choose to fly to Hong Kong with Andy Lau and other Hong Kong artists who participated in the Top Ten Idol Awards Ceremony after the Top Ten Idol Awards Ceremony.

It's just that the feeling of being played by others is really uncomfortable.

Especially last night.

When the last top ten Chinese golden songs were released without his name, he was extremely angry.

Because of anger, he only uttered a mocking sentence after he came on stage to win the gold award for excellent Mandarin song.

"Thank you! Thank you to the organizers of the top ten Chinese golden songs, thank you very much, this trophy is a very important trophy in my life, I will definitely keep it well!"

Afterwards, after the awards were over, even though the organizer invited Andy Lau and Liming to make peace and invite him to attend the banquet afterwards, he did not agree and left directly.

"Tell the company to call Warner Records. If they have this ability, I think we should change the agency!"

Putting down the newspaper, Chen Qiming said in a deep voice.

Regarding being tricked by RTHK this time, while Chen Qiming was angry, he also carefully considered why RTHK did this.

After some thinking, he roughly understood why.

First, being targeted.

Just like Wang Jie back then, the Hong Kong music scene does not hope that his appeal in Hong Kong will exceed the four heavenly kings.

In addition, Chen Qiming said something before that he hoped that Hong Kong and Taiwan would pay attention to originality.

This will naturally cause dissatisfaction among some companies and musicians who are keen on adaptation.

And the second point is because of Warner Music.

There are five major record companies in the Hong Kong music scene in recent years.

Polygram Records, Warner Records, EMI, BMG Records.

These five records restrict each other and almost completely recruit all the singers in Hong Kong, big and small.

Special Polygram and Huaxing records.

These two records were in the 80s, they were almost the two overlords in Hong Kong.

The hottest singers in Hong Kong are basically from these two companies.

During the 90s, Warner Records began to flourish, gradually surpassing Huaxing Records, and became one of the poles of Hong Kong record companies.

Especially these two years.

After Warner bought the shares of UFO Records, many UFO generals joined, plus Andy Lau joined, and Chen Qiming, the most popular singer in the Chinese music scene at present.

This allowed Warner Records to completely surpass Huaxing Records, and even meant to compete for the strongest dominance of Polygram Records.

And the reason why Warner can be so beautiful.

A big reason comes from poaching corners.

Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok were recruited to Warner Records successively, which will inevitably touch the cake of other companies.

Plus Chen Qiming and Ye Qianwen.

Several first-line superstars.

Although it made Warner very beautiful, it also caused a shortage of resources.

Just like this time, Chen Qiming felt that Warner Records probably knew about the fact that he was tricked by Radio Hong Kong in advance.

But Warner didn't tell him...

It's normal, after all, Chen Qiming is not like Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, who directly signed the record contract with them.

Chen Qiming's record is currently in Fulong Records, even UFO and Warner Records are only agents.

On the one hand, it is a direct son, and on the other hand, it is a friend who keeps it at home, and pays a guardian fee a month.

It goes without saying who to turn to.

However, knowing that Warner Records chose to give priority to helping Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok's two sons is the right decision.

But after this incident happened to him, Chen Qiming still couldn't accept it.

He couldn't accept that Warner Records didn't even give him an early warning.

It's just so fucking inhuman.

"Brother Ciwei said he had contacted Warner Records, and they said they didn't know about it."

Li Xiaowen called Liu Ciwei, and came back after a while and said.

"I remember that we signed a record agency contract with Warner Records once a year, right?"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming asked.

"Before, a new contract was signed in June this year, and it was changed to a one-by-one contract." Li Xiaowen said.

"That means we can completely get rid of them now?"

Chen Qiming said thoughtfully.

"Yes, but it may be difficult.

Distribution channels are very important to you. Only companies like Warner, which have distribution channels all over the world, can eat your records.

If you change to a company with a small distribution channel, record sales may have a great impact. "

Li Xiaowen shook his head.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded.

This is indeed a problem.

However, it is not a big problem. He feels that it should not be too difficult to solve it.

"Buy a plane ticket! Go back to Taiwan first, and let them enjoy the remaining Hong Kong music awards!"

Standing up, Chen Qiming said.

　The update in the afternoon will be a little later, if you stay up late to rush out, you may wake up very late.
