"Chen from the East"

"A Throat Kissed by an Angel"

The next day, the local media in New York and Warner Bros. made a lot of reports on Chen Qiming's free tour.

This free tour is not to say very shocking, but Chen Qiming's singing has successfully left a very deep impact on the audience and reporters.

The three songs that can be called hit songs directly ignited the audience.

Coupled with a re-sung version of "500 Miles", which can be called a re-sung classic, it made the audience mesmerized.

So, the next day, the media collectively began to publicize Chen Qiming's performance.

Chen Qiming has been quite popular in the United States recently, and this tour attracted some attention, which directly made Chen Qiming make a big splash in the American music scene.

If it is famous, there will be popularity, and if there is popularity, the sales of records will explode. After the sales of records explode, all surrounding products will rise accordingly.

The American MTV TV station sensed an opportunity, approached Chen Qiming and Warner Records in person the next day, and paid 30 U.S. dollars to buy the videotape playback rights of last night's performance.

The video, after Chen Qiming became popular in Asia, is necessary for every large-scale performance.

When in Asia, this work has been dispatched by Fulong Company to take charge of it.

After arriving in Europe and the United States, Furlong and Warner Records negotiated and handed over this task to Warner Records.

During the tour in the United States during this period, Warner Records will record every two to three performances.

Don't underestimate these performance videos, these things are also money, and the income is not low.

Last year, Chen Qiming's global concert tour was bought by China Television Television for 5000 million Taiwan dollars.

The right to broadcast this round of concerts on TV directly made Warner Records a lot of money.

Because of the big profits this time, Chen Qiming's TV rights for the next round of concerts have already attracted the attention of almost all TV stations in Asia.

They began to contact Chen Qiming frequently, wanting to win the exclusive broadcast or the right to simulcast.

Among them, Singapore TV even called out an offer of 1000 million Singapore dollars.

Singapore dollars are not Taiwan dollars.

Singapore dollars are very valuable.

One Singapore dollar can be exchanged for five yuan, nine to ten Hong Kong dollars, and an astonishing 20 Taiwan dollars.

Calculated at this exchange rate, 1000 million Singapore dollars is worth more than 2 million Taiwan dollars.

Compared with the previous round, this price has directly increased by four or five times.

Naturally, the reason doesn't need to be much, this year's Chen Qiming is stronger and more appealing.

The popularity of "Storm of the Stars" in Asia brought Chen Qiming not only sales, but also huge commercial value.

Since May, Chen Qiming's commercial show fee has reached an astonishing one million Hong Kong dollars.

Because the price is too high, there are no commercial shows looking for him now.

However, the absence of commercial performances does not mean that his income has become lower.

Instead, his income became higher.

The reason for this comes from the endorsement. Because of the increase in commercial value, his current endorsement fee has also ushered in a huge explosion.

An advertisement is two or three million Hong Kong dollars, and an exclusive endorsement is about five million a year.

Currently, he has a total of six endorsements including gold necklaces, sports cars, and clothing.

These endorsements have brought him nearly 3000 million in income.

It is precisely because of its high commercial value and popularity.

Therefore, Chen Qiming's performance video is not worried about selling in Asia.

His performance video last year sold more than 50 copies in the market.

The popularity of the video tape market has made Furlong Warner and other companies attach great importance to Chen Qiming's performance videos.

So there is a reason why almost every few performances are videotaped for his performances.

30 US dollars to buy TV rights, which is not a loss for Chen Qiming.

In addition, this is an important time to promote Chen Qiming.

Therefore, the two sides hit it off and finalized this cooperation.

As soon as the cooperation was finalized, mtv station got the master tape of the video, and as soon as they returned to mtv station, they played the videotape of this performance at the prime time at [-] o'clock that night.

Founded on August 1981, 8, mtv is the largest mtv station in the world.

The so-called mtv refers to MV.

Of course, this TV station does not only play MVs.

In addition to the latest popular MVs, you can also see young VJs, music-related news and entertainment programs on MTV.

The station is one of the biggest outlets for American singers to promote their songs.

As long as you are on this TV station, not to mention everyone in Europe and America will know you, but at least, many young people will know you because of it.

This time Chen Qiming is no exception.

After the video of the performance landed on mtv, it immediately attracted huge attention across the United States.

Many American fans who had heard his three songs but didn't know him took this opportunity to see him on TV and were amazed.

I was amazed that he, an Asian, could sing such good English songs.

At the same time, with the help of the TV broadcast of mtv station, Chen Qiming's performance in the performance also made a large number of American fans fully aware of Chen Qiming's singing skills.

Especially the reprise of the song "500 Miles".

Chen Qiming's clean and gentle voice directly conquered a large number of fans.

The day after the video of the performance was broadcast, Warner Records received countless letters from fans.

Without exception, these letters all hope that Chen Qiming can make a record of his re-sung "Five Hundred Miles" with some changes.

Influenced by these letters, Warner Records immediately contacted The Journeymen and purchased the cover rights of 500 Miles.

And asked Chen Qiming to start recording this song.

The song "Five Hundred Miles" is not difficult to sing, the most difficult thing is to sing with emotion.

And Chen Qiming definitely has a say in this aspect.

Ever since he became a singer, he discovered that he is very good at lyrical songs.

This is why when he sang the song "Five Hundred Miles" for the first time, he was able to directly impress fans and audiences.

Because the song is not difficult, and the accompaniment of this song can even be solved directly with the guitar.

Therefore, it didn't take much time for Chen Qiming to record this song.

In just two days, he recorded the song in its entirety and handed it over to Warner Records for distribution.

Because this song itself is not Chen Qiming's song, he is only responsible for a certain arrangement and singing.

In addition, only one song cannot be made into a record, so this song was not made into a separate record, but was included in the star collection released by Warner Records this year.

The so-called star collection is actually Warner Music's singers who gather together, sing in chorus, or sing songs individually and put them into an album for release.

A star-studded record like this is usually a bestseller and will be favored by many fans.
