Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 177
Chen Qiming in 1993 was undoubtedly successful.

In the music world, he has dedicated himself to becoming a god, and has created the album with the highest annual sales in the Chinese music world so far.

This conspicuous record, just put there, made countless people flinch.

Even Chen Qiming himself is not confident that he can break the sales of this album.

Moreover, he successfully entered the Japanese music scene with an album, becoming another singer who has a good influence in Japan after Teresa Teng.

As for the film industry, although Chen Qiming starred in very few films this year, only three, two of them were not the leading actor.

But just with the movie "New Love", he has completely made him an existence like Andy Lau who has a good appeal in the music and film circles.

And also won the Golden Horse Best Actor title with this movie.

It can be said that Chen Qiming has been very successful this year, and to a certain extent, the limelight can even be compared to Jackie Chan and Jet Li, who have made a big splash in the Asian market with their movies.

It is also too successful.

This year's Spring Festival, Chen Qiming didn't take a break like last year and didn't come out to work until the first ten or so of the first month.

But as soon as the three-day year passed, he immediately started his busy work again.

The first is his upcoming album "Storm of the Stars" which will be released in April.

The recording of this album has officially started.

Furlong eventually chose to continue working with UFO Records.

No, it should not be called a flying saucer now, but should be called Baodao Warner.

Just last month, Warner once again purchased additional shares in UFO and became the largest shareholder of the Taiwan giant record company.

After Warner Records officially took over, considering that many of its singers were in panic, they took various countermeasures.

Well, it is to win over with profit.

Among them, as the current No.1 gas king of Taiwan, Warner paid a lot of price, and finally made Fulong and Chen Qiming choose to continue to cooperate with them.

Of course, this cooperation is also in the form of a single album agency release.

That is, the cooperation between the two parties is limited to the next record.

In the future, if Warner does something that makes Chen Qiming or Fulong dissatisfied, the cooperation will be terminated immediately.

While Chen Qiming continued to cooperate with Warner Records, the relationship between Wang Jie, another real brother of UFO, and Warner has come to an end.

In the past few years, with the rise of the four kings of Hong Kong, Warner has successively acquired Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok under its command.

On Baodao, Jimmy Lin and Nicky Wu came forward one after another, and Chen Qiming also wanted to share some of Warner's resources.

This caused Wang Jie's resource supply to drop sharply.

This can be seen from the fact that he was not even selected as one of the top ten idols in 93.

It can be said that during this year, Wang Jie's popularity and status have fallen to the lowest point.

Therefore, Wang Jie was dissatisfied with the treatment given to him by Warner Records. In addition, he had made a lot of money in the past few years, and he happened to meet his true love again, and had the idea of ​​​​retiring.

Therefore, he directly chose to immigrate to Canada, and unilaterally began to defy some of Warner's promotional arrangements for him.

For Wang Jie, Chen Qiming still has a lot of respect. He heard that he had a conflict with Warner, and he also called him to advise him not to mess around.

But obviously, his words are not enough to influence Wang Jie.

Wang Jie finally chose to fly to Canada and unilaterally refused to attend some work arrangements of Warner Records.

In this regard, Chen Qiming was helpless.

He could imagine how difficult it would be for Wang Jie in the days to come.

As far as he knows, the record contract between Wang Jie and Warner is still several years away.

The contract is in the hands of Warner, and Wang Jie still goes his own way, which is obviously of no benefit to his stardom.

But since Wang Jie did this, Chen Qiming, an outsider, could do nothing but feel sorry for him.

Offending the record company, and still in the fledgling situation.

That result...

Apart from the records, what Chen Qiming needs to be busy after the Chinese New Year is the movie "The Whirlwind Boy".

On February [-]th, Chen Qiming came to Baodao Fuxin Middle School.

Well, it was the school where he filmed "Play Back To School".

Most of the filming locations of "Tornado Kid" are still here.

The crew had already started filming here one day in advance.

The main actors of the movie are already in place.

In terms of lineup, the lineup of this movie is no different from the lineup in Chen Qiming's dream.

Well, Lin Zhiying was replaced by him, and the role of the villain school bully was replaced by Chen Qiming, who sounded strange but familiar.

Wubai!

This guy's name was Wu Bai. Chen Qiming always felt that this name was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember who he was.

Until the opening ceremony of the film was over, he took the initiative to chat with Chen Qiming, and said that he had written a song and wanted to sell it to Chen Qiming to sing.

Then, after seeing that song, Chen Qiming remembered him.

"I heard from the director that you should have a band! Why don't you sing this song yourself?"

In the corner of the school filming location, Chen Qiming held the lyrics and music book in his hand, and couldn't help but look at Wu Bai suspiciously.

Hearing this, Wu Bai, who specially cut his hair short for the role, couldn't help but smile wryly, "I don't have any money! You also know that it takes a lot of money to make a song."

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded.

He can understand this feeling.

Don't think that coming up with a record is easy.

A record, whether it is production, publicity, or even early distribution, requires a lot of money.

Even, because they don't know whether the record will be successful, the record company needs to take a lot of risks when releasing a record.

For singers, if a record is not successful, the big deal is to wait for another chance, but it is just one missed chance.

For record companies, what they have to pay is real money.

Especially for small-scale record companies, the failure of a record may even directly bankrupt the record company.

Therefore, record companies are generally very cautious about singers' record production.

Of course, a big singer like Chen Qiming has become an exception.

With an existence like Chen Qiming and the others, even if the record fails, it is not a failure in the true sense.

Because, for him, the sales volume of 30 may be a failure, but from the perspective of income, it is still profitable.

It is also because of this that there is a reason why record companies are so keen on digging out big singers.

As for Wu Bai, he is obviously not a singer like Chen Qiming.

Even, to a certain extent, Wu Bai at this time is worse than the newcomer who just signed.

After newcomers are signed, record companies often give them the opportunity to try out records to test the market.

If successful, the company will make persistent efforts and increase its efforts to invest resources.

If it fails, it will be sealed by the company.

As for newcomers, they usually sign long-term contracts with record companies.

If the company doesn't use you, it is naturally impossible for you to go to other companies, and you have to wait until the contract ends.

This is why many rookie singers don't have any news after releasing a record and fail, and they don't make a comeback until many years later.

And his reappearance is usually in other record companies, or he met Bole.

"Your song is pretty good, but is it not suitable for me to sing?"

Looking at the lyrics and music in his hand again, Chen Qiming hesitated.

"The Ronin's Love Song".

This is the name of the song.

Although Chen Qiming thinks he can control many songs, different types of songs will become songs unique to Chen Qiming when he comes to him.

But this "Love Song of the Ronin" clearly describes the prodigal son.

prodigal son……

This doesn't seem to be very suitable for Chen Qiming.

Hearing this, Wu Bai shook his head and said:

"In my opinion, an excellent singer is able to transform different styles of songs into his own style.

I have listened to your songs, whether it is "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream" or "The Past Follows the Wind", or "Rain or Rain", these songs are actually not suitable for you.

But under your wonderful interpretation, they have all become one of your masterpieces.

So, I think you can ride it!
Of course, if you think this song is bad and don’t want to sing it like Gao Mingjun, then just pretend I didn’t say it! "

"Gao Mingjun?"

Chen Qiming was taken aback.

He knows this man.

This is a well-known rock singer in Baodao.

His first album "Boy from the Western Regions" was released in 1988.

Once released, it became popular in Taiwan.

This person's style is very similar to that of Cui Jian in the Mainland, with a hoarse voice and a semi-rock style, which is very popular among rock and roll youths in Taiwan.

"Yes, I pitched him this song, but he turned it down.

He seems to think this song is not good! "

Wu Bai smiled and said.

From his face, Chen Qiming could see a trace of unnaturalness.

Also, I voted for my idol, but was rejected.

This will be more or less reconciled.

"Your song is really good, I like it very much!"

As he said that, Chen Qiming paused, "Let's do this! I've accepted the song, but I've already selected the song for my new album. I may have to wait for a while to release your song!"

After finishing speaking, there was a slight silence, and Chen Qiming continued: "If you follow me, you should know that I respect originality, because I am an original author myself.

So, when the time comes to produce this song, if you are interested, you can also participate in the production.

Even, if you have time, or convince your record company, you can come and sing this song with me! "

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Wu Bai's eyes widened.

"You mean to sing with you?"

"Of course, don't you have a band? You can be together then!"

Chen Qiming said with a smile.

Wubai!

If Chen Qiming remembered correctly, he seemed very powerful in the dream.

Here's a guy who created what's called the Wubai Effect.

According to the information in the dream, it seems that he has created a large number of golden songs for others to sing.

There are many golden songs among them, but the original singers did not sing well.

As a result, he, the creator, sang at his own concert, but he became popular.

In addition, Chen Qiming feels that although he is younger than Wu Bai, his current achievements in the music world should be slightly higher than Wu Bai.

If you can help him, he doesn't mind giving him a hand.

Therefore, he chose to invite Wu Bai to sing this song with him at that time.
