Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 200
May [-]th.

The Japan Record Awards were officially held at the Naka Theater in the New National Theater in Honmachi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.

Time has entered the 90s, and the global record industry market has ushered in a big explosion.

Not only Hong Kong and Taiwan and other Chinese music circles have ushered in a bright period for the record industry.

Even Japan and other places have experienced very large data growth in recent years.

This year, in the entire Japanese music scene, no fewer than ten singles have sold more than one million singles, and there have also been several hit albums in terms of albums.

Therefore, this year's Japan Record Awards competition is extremely fierce.

Chuck and Asuka), Sakazumi Jingshui, are the most direct opponents of Chen Qiming's multiple awards this year.

Among them, Chuck and Asuka, this combination has won the Japan Record Award for two consecutive years.

This year's statistics and popularity are no less than Chen Qiming's.

Even, their single "YAH YAHYAH" this year has sold more than 250 million copies, and it currently ranks first in Japan's single sales chart.

Therefore, they will be Chen Qiming's most direct competitors at the Golden Disk Awards and the most important record awards.

Besides them, Japanese singer Kosai Kaoru is also an important contender for this award.

Last year, her single "Wu Yan Saka" was not ranked high on the Oricon chart and its sales volume was not too high, but this song was unanimously favored by musicians in the Japanese music scene, who believed that it was most likely to win the record award.

As for Izumi Sakai, although this beautiful girl from Japan's first girl band only debuted in 1991, her first Japanese album in 92 sold millions of copies.

Last year, she made persistent efforts, and a song "Don't Give Up" became a well-known song in Japan.

She is also one of Chen Qiming's competitors for various awards, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is one of the strongest opponents.

The Japan Record Awards, like the Hong Kong and Taiwan awards, will arrange the shortlisted singers in one area.

As soon as Chen Qiming entered the venue, he was arranged among the many shortlisted singers.

It is different from the Hong Kong and Taiwan awards.

There are basically two rounds of competition for the Japan Record Awards.

Take the most important record award as an example, it requires singers to compete for the golden record award first.

This Golden Disc Award is similar to the top ten golden songs in Hong Kong.

Only those who have won the Golden Record Award are eligible to compete for the record award with those who have won the Golden Record Award together.

The record awards are similar to the top ten Chinese golden songs in Hong Kong.

Because there are many shortlisted people, and they are all people who have occupied a place in Japan, so this one looks very star-studded.

Chen Qiming, Izumi Sakai, Chuck and Asuka were all mixed in, which made fans feel overwhelmed.

"Chen Qiming, hello!"

As soon as Chen Qiming sat down, he heard a shout in Mandarin that was rarely heard in Japan.

Looking back, he saw a shy-looking female singer.

"I'm Zhou Bingqian! I'm Chinese! I like your songs very much, you are my idol!"

Zhou Bingqian said shyly.

Hearing this name, Chen Qiming suddenly realized, "I remembered, you are the shortlisted singer of this year's Japan Record Awards Newcomer Award, I always thought you were Chinese, but I didn't expect you to be Chinese!

Nice to meet you! "

As he spoke, Chen Qiming reached out to her.

"I like you very much, can you sign me later?"

Zhou Bingqian reached out to hold Chen Qiming's hand with joy.

Although Zhou Bingqian seems to be older than Chen Qiming.

But in the music world, it is not surprising that the older ones regard the younger ones as their idols.

Especially the age difference between everyone is not too big.

Therefore, Chen Qiming is not surprised because he has a fan who is older than him.

Because the awards are about to start, the two of them chatted casually, then sat down and waited for the awards to start.

"Chen Sang, nice to meet you!"

The person next to Chen Qiming was Izumi Sakai. Seeing that the host had started to announce the awards, she took the initiative to greet Chen Qiming.

Although Chen Qiming and Izumi Sakai are not very familiar, they do know each other. They had been on the same stage on a TBS TV program before.

"Nice to meet you too! To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful"

Chen Qiming joked with a smile that the last time the two met, Izumi Sakai did not show up, but wore a mask to maintain a sense of mystery.

"Chen Sang, although appearance is an important requirement for a singer, I hope you don't know me because of my appearance!"

Sakai spring water seemed a little solemn.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming turned serious, "I'm sorry! This is just a small joke. I actually like your songs very much. Your song "Don't Give Up" is really classic!"

"It's okay! I just hope that everyone can know me because of my songs, especially you, my biggest opponent for this year's record award!"

Sakai Izumi said.

After a pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "However, I may lose to you this year! I just hope that we will have the chance to compete on the same stage again next year!"

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Chen Qiming was taken aback.

"Don't you know? This year's record award presenter is Ms. Teresa Teng.

According to the usual practice, she is most likely invited by the organizer to present the award to you! "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming was a little surprised, he really didn't know that Teresa Teng awarded the record award.

Although he knew that Teresa Teng would also attend the Record Awards when he came here, the Recording Association of Japan did not announce the presenters of the awards.

And if the presenter of the record award is determined to be Teresa Teng.

It is possible that he won the award.

We all know that the whole world likes to have people who have some kind of relationship with the singer give out the awards.

Just like the just-concluded Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, the presenter of Chen Qiming invited his boss, Ge Fuhong, for convenience.

In the previous awards that Chen Qiming attended, basically every award presenter was related to him.

Therefore, if Teresa Teng presented the recording award this time, it is really possible that the winner is him.

As Teresa Teng who has developed the best in the Chinese music scene in Japan, like Chen Qiming, she is from Baodao Province in China, and she is also a person who has soared in Japan after crossing regions. It is very gimmick and meaningful for her to present the award.

However, there are some things that cannot be jumped to conclusions. Maybe the Little Japan Recording Association asked her to present an award to a certain female singer?

Anyway, there is no absolute.

"Next, the newcomer award is presented. This year, there are many newcomers in the Japanese music scene. Many newcomers have attracted a lot of attention since their debut..."

The first to be awarded is the Newcomer Award.

Japan's rookie award is different from that of Hong Kong and Taiwan. They will not divide the award into gold, silver and bronze, but will directly award the award to three newcomers.

Then, the strongest person will be selected from among them, and the best newcomer award will be presented to show the difference between this person and the other two.

"The third newcomer award winner is - Zhou Bingqian from China!"

"yeah!"

Accompanied by the voice of the host on stage, Zhou Bingqian who was not far away jumped up and hugged the singers beside her.

Chen Qiming also applauded, got up and hugged her.

A Chinese person won the Newcomer Award at the Japan Record Awards, which is considered a precedent.

Therefore, Chen Qiming was also very happy for her. You must know that even he had no chance to win this award.

Well, although the two have only known each other for a few minutes.

But sometimes, the relationship between compatriots can bring the relationship between two people closer.

Especially this year's Japan Record Awards, looking around, there are only two of them Chinese.

Now that she has won the award, it is naturally something to be happy about.

However, although Zhou Bingqian won the Newcomer Award, the Best Newcomer Award was not won by her, but by a Japanese singer.

Awards were presented one after another, and less important awards such as merit awards and planning awards were issued one after another.

"The award presented below is for Best Composer!

Please invite Ms. Miyuki Nakajima to come on stage to present awards to the winners! "

After several awards, finally came a relatively heavyweight award.

This award is definitely not a big award for a singer who is only responsible for singing.

But for creators, this is a very important award, especially for those composers.

Hearing that the award was about to be presented, the composers whose songs were shortlisted couldn't help but sit up and looked nervously at the stage.

Among them, Chen Qiming is also one of them.

This year, he was shortlisted for the Best Composition, Best Lyrics, Golden Record, Male Singer of the Year, and Album of the Year awards in the Singing Awards this year.

By the way, don't look at Chen Qiming being shortlisted for so many awards, you will think that he has swept away.

Actually not.

There are so many awards in the Japan Record Awards, which are not comparable to ordinary awards.

There are awards for artist of the year, most charismatic singer, most popular, and even the public's favorite.

Although Chen Qiming has been shortlisted for many awards, it cannot be said to be a sweep.

Moreover, even if Chen Qiming already has the ability to sweep, he is just a singer who debuted in Japan for a year, and the Recording Association of Japan will not let him sweep.

"Miss Nakajima, as the most influential singer in Japan and the most talented songwriter, do you have anything to say to today's finalists?"

On stage, the host asked Miyuki Nakajima what she thought of all the finalists including Chen Qiming.

"Well, this year's finalists for this award are all old acquaintances, Tamaki, Oda, Komuro, and my favorite creator of Baodao, Chen Qiming.

As for the creative talents of several of them, everyone can see it for all to see. If I make an evaluation, it seems that I think too highly of myself!

Therefore, don't mention the evaluation, you are digging a hole for me! "

Although Nakajima seldom appeared on TV shows, his eloquence was not bad, and he said it tactfully.

As she said, this year's finalists are not good at it.

Needless to say, Tamaki Koji is the Japanese singer who has the most adaptations by Hong Kong singers, and he will be featured in almost every year's Japanese creative awards.

As for Oda Tetsuro, his status in Japan may not be as good as Nakajima Miyuki and Tamaki Koji.

But it is also a very famous creator in the Japanese music scene.

Oda Tetsuro and Nagato Taiko co-founded Being Records in 1978 and officially debuted.

The following year formed the WHY band, singing exclusively in swing dance and jazz, and then disbanded.

Later, he gradually turned to providing music for others, including ZARD, DEEN, WANDS, Aikawa Nanase and other singers.

His works are good at hard rock and electronic rock.

Before the 90s, his reputation was not very well known, but from "Season of the Sun" in 86 to "Let's Dance" in 90, he officially entered the ranks of Japan's first-line creators.

And in the last year, this guy has created a feat, the total sales of the songs he wrote for other artists reached a staggering 1000 million copies this year.

Note that this does not mean the total sales of music he created, but 1993.

In this year alone, the total sales volume of the songs he created reached 1000 million.

This can be said to be unmatched in the whole of Japan.

Even in the whole of Asia, only Chen Qiming can stand shoulder to shoulder with it. (
Ahem, although I want to keep a low profile, the fact is that the sales of songs created by Chen Qiming have exceeded 1000 million last year.

Moreover, most of Chen Qiming's record sales are concentrated in one album.

Although both are in the tens of millions, because most of Chen Qiming's data comes from the Chinese music scene, the two are not very comparable, after all, they are from two circles.

Just like Chen Qiming and Michael Jackson, in terms of sales, to be honest, Chen Qiming's sales in the past two years are not weak at all, but because the two people's records are in different languages, they are not comparable.

In addition, the audience of English is currently wider than that of Chinese, so in terms of international influence, Chen Qiming must be worse than Michael Jackson.

In addition to Oda, another finalist is also well-known in Japan.

Tetsuya Komuro, the founder of the TM NETWORK band, also known as the Komuro family.

Needless to say, this guy is talented, and the music of the entire Xiaoshi family is basically composed by him.

In addition, this guy is very interesting. Since last year, he started the journey of dying electronic music.

From August to October, he produced a total of five pieces of electronic music, but these songs have become Zhe Jian's cannon fodder songs and have not caused any waves in the market.

However, this did not discourage his continued research on electronic music, and it is said that he is still producing electronic music.

And the most surprising thing, and what made Chen Qiming have a good impression of him was that.

This guy once stated in public that Chen Qiming's RnB songs are the top in Asia, and can even be called the originator.

He even said that in some of his electronic music, there are RnB elements brought by Chen Qiming in the Chinese music scene.

A gold medal creator publicly stated that he added his own music elements to his songs, and praised him as the originator of a certain type of music.

To be honest, this made Chen Qiming very happy.

At least, it wasn't in vain that he added RnB songs to his successive albums.

Miyuki Nakajima didn't talk too much on stage. After chatting with the host, she opened the envelope and began to announce the award winners.

"The winner of the best composition award is..."

Nakajima Miyuki glanced at several finalists, and finally, she turned her attention to Chen Qiming, "The winner of the Best Composer Award is "Taoxiang", the composer, Chen Qiming!
Let's congratulate him! "

"call!"

Chen Qiming let out a long breath, smiled towards the camera, and then began to hug the singers around him.

"Congratulations! This song is really good!"

After taking the stage, Chen Qiming hugged Nakajima Miyuki first.

Then Miyuki Nakajima handed him the trophy and said to him with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you Senior Nakajima for presenting me the award, and thank you Senior Nakajima for your recognition of me. I still have a lot to learn from Senior Nakajima."

Respect for elders is a virtue, no matter in Xiangjiang, Japan, or other places, politeness is always the best weapon for communication.

Nakajima Miyuki expressed her love for her songs in public many times, and he was very grateful.

Therefore, after taking the microphone, he directly expressed his gratitude to Miyuki Nakajima.

Miyuki Nakajima smiled and stood beside the host without speaking.

It was time for Chen Qiming to give a speech. Even if she had something to say, she would wait for Chen Qiming to finish his acceptance speech.

"First of all, I would like to thank Fulong Records, my company in Baodao, if it wasn't for Fulong Records, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Then, thanks to Warner Japan, the distribution company of the album "Chen Qiming", their channel saved me from many detours.

In addition, I would like to thank the fans in Japan who support me, thank you!

In addition, let me clarify that although I won the award, it does not mean that I am better than Tamaki and other seniors.

I need to learn many things about the music of several seniors. "

As Chen Qiming said, he nodded in the direction of Koji Tamaki and other finalists.

Wearing a lot of clothes, flattering but not wearing it, the bad mood of the people below because they didn't win the award disappeared with a few words from Chen Qiming, and they all smiled and gestured to Chen Qiming.

"Finally, a big thank you to the Recording Industry Association for giving me this award.

This award is the first creative award I have won in Japan. The recognition of this award has made me more interested in creation. In the future, I will continue to work hard to bring you favorite songs!

Thanks! "

To be honest, Chen Qiming was really surprised that the adaptation of the Japanese song "Daoxiang" actually won the best composition.

This adaptation of "Daoxiang" is very popular in Japan.

But compared to "Meteor Shower", "The Treasure of the Ryukyu People" and even "Fairy Tale", the popularity is slightly lower.

Unexpectedly, those few songs did not win the award, but this song "Dao Xiang" actually won the award, which really surprised Chen Qiming.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he was not surprised.

The tune of the song "Daoxiang" seems to be the same as the songs in Chen Qiming's album.

But if you listen carefully, you will find that the tune of this song is very leading.

Well, it's leading.

Although there are many music critics, people often criticize Chen Qiming's songs for being too advanced.

But at the same time, there are also many people who are attracted by his style of music. They think that music is to move forward.

People like Chen Qiming who are constantly innovating and bringing new elements to the music scene are exactly what they like.

Therefore, although it is surprising that "Daoxiang" won the award, it is not incredible.

Because it has this strength in itself.

"Chen Sang, let me interview you. We all know that you have been shortlisted for many awards today. How many awards do you think you can take away?"

After Chen Qiming finished his acceptance speech, the host smiled.

"All! All are yours!"

"Yes, you deserve it!"

There are four platforms in the theater in the New National Theater, and one of the four platforms is completely white ocean.

This white ocean is made up of Chen Qiming's fans.

White T-shirt, white glow sticks, looks very spectacular.

Some of these fans are from Japan, and many of them came all the way from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At this time, these fans shouted loudly, and the voice was so loud that everyone in the venue couldn't help but look over.

"Hey! Chen Qiming, you are the best, you want to take away all the awards!"

As if seeing Chen Qiming's gaze in the venue, the group of Chen Qiming fans in uniform white costumes roared even more fiercely.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qiming was a little moved, smiled and waved over there.

"thanks, thanks!"

"It seems that Chen Sang's fans have full confidence in him!"

Being disturbed by the fans, the host didn't ask Chen Qiming any more, but said with a smile.

"The fans are so enthusiastic, does Chen Sang have anything to say?"

The host looked at Chen Qiming.

"Thank you! Thank you very much! Your support is my biggest motivation, thank you!"

Chen Qiming bowed to the fans and said it twice in Japanese and Chinese.

"Okay, let's stop talking, let's hand over the stage to Chen Sang, and he will bring us the song "Dao Xiang"."

The host and Nakajima left the stage slowly, the stage lights dimmed, and a group of backup dancers appeared.

The accompaniment of "Taoxiang" began to sound.

Ticadas and crickets began to chirp, making one feel like being in a summer wheat field.

"If you have too many complaints about the world"

"If you fall, don't dare to move forward"

"Why are people so vulnerable and depraved"
