Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 29 Platinum Record Certification
May 5 is a day seen by couples in Shattered Dreams as an expression of love.

But now, this is a very ordinary and ordinary day.

However, today is not ordinary for Chen Qiming.

This morning, as soon as he arrived at the company, Liu Ciwei called him to his office.

"Hey, your honor!" He handed Chen Qiming an unopened record.

Seeing that Chen Qiming was somewhat puzzled, Liu Ciwei smiled and said, "Take it apart and have a look!"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming opened the package with curiosity.

As soon as he opened it, his eyes were firmly attracted by the records inside.

This is a record with a golden surface, it is golden and looks very beautiful.

"Golden record?" Chen Qiming raised his head to look at Liu Ciwei.

"It's not a gold record, but a platinum record!" Liu Ciwei responded with a smile, "Just yesterday afternoon, the sales volume of "No Trend, No Money" has exceeded [-] copies, and this album is the [-] and [-]. "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help looking at the record in his hand.

Platinum records are currently a reward method implemented by record recording units in many countries and regions around the world for singers who record records.

If a certain record recorded by a singer can be sold above the local gold record standard, the record production unit will put a layer of gold on the surface of the first record after the standard data and reward the singer.

At the same time, the platinum certification is also the recognition of a singer's sales by the International Recording Federation, which is also an honor.

In Taiwan, the standard for a gold record is to sell [-] copies, and for a platinum record to be [-] copies.

Compared with North America, it may be pitiful to start with a million dollars, but in Taiwan and even the entire Chinese-speaking region, the [-] platinum record certifications are basically the best in the industry without exception.

If you look at it historically, it seems like a lot of people have gone platinum.

But if you look at the entire industry, there are actually very few people who have this honor, less than one percent of all employees in this industry.

And every single one of them, without exception, was all the rage and the best in the music scene at that time.

However, Chen Qiming didn't pay much attention to these.

What he cared about was the value of this record, and asked, "It should be very expensive after being plated with so much gold!"

"Of course, the cost of this record has reached more than 40 Taiwan dollars. In addition, it is very troublesome for the International Phonographic Association to certify the platinum record. After all the phone bills are calculated, this record is at least 70 Taiwan dollars, or even exceeded!" Liu Ciwei nod.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming's heart suddenly became hot, and he raised his head and asked, "You said, if I sell it, will someone buy it at a high price?"

"What did you say?" Liu Ciwei didn't react at first, but when he did, his eyes widened immediately, "You want to sell it?"

"Can't you?" Chen Qiming was a little puzzled. If this thing is his own, then he should have the right to sell it!

"I think you are crazy, do you understand what this is? This is a platinum record, the highest honor in the music world, how can its value be measured by money!"

Liu Ciwei looked very irritable.

After the irritability passed, he suddenly turned his eyes, "If you want to sell it, sell it to me for 80 Taiwan dollars! Anyway, you will sell it to anyone!"

Although he didn't know what height Chen Qiming would reach in the end.

But a platinum record, which is very collectible.

Take the record "No Trend, No Money." It may be remastered in the future, but no matter how many copies it sells, there will never be too many gold-plated records.

The record company is not being taken advantage of, and it is not necessary to record a platinum record every time it breaks through [-] copies.

In many cases, for a record that has exploded in sales, the gold-plated record will only be recorded when it has just exceeded 60 or [-], and it will only be recorded when the sales volume reaches [-] or millions. Mark the logo of several platinum on the record.

Therefore, the gold-plated record in Chen Qiming's hands may become the only one in the world.

Rare things are more expensive, and the more unique something is, the higher its collection value is.

Even, as the years get older, it will become more and more valuable.

Liu Ciwei's idea is that if Chen Qiming really wants to sell it, he can buy it and collect it.

Chen Qiming stared at Liu Ciwei for a long time, and after a while, he shook his head, "Forget it, I still won't sell it."

From Liu Ciwei's eyes, Chen Qiming felt the value of this record.

Although he loves money, if he is asked to sell what he has at a low price, he is absolutely unwilling.

Putting the gold-plated record into the package, Chen Qiming was about to leave when Liu Ciwei stopped him again.

"The company has already contacted Shangge Records, and they agreed to let Meng Tingwei come to sing with you. Meng Tingwei may arrive in the afternoon. You should prepare and record as soon as possible. Meng Tingwei is busy with publicity, and there may only be one afternoon recording time. .”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded and went out with the record.

On the corridor, Chen Qiming looked at the package of the gold record in his hand while walking.

The cover on the packaging is not the same as all the album covers he has released, but a photo poster from the scene that was cut out when Chen Qiming shot the Sanyang Group advertisement.

On the poster, he is speeding on a motorcycle, and the breeze blows his hair gently.

Next to his portrait, there is a line of words, "The boy like the wind is setting sail!"

Not to mention, the cover of this poster is very interesting. If this is released, there will definitely be many girls who will save money to buy this poster again.

Unfortunately, this is an out-of-print cover, only Chen Qiming owns it.

"Hi! Congratulations, the record is selling!"

Chen Qiming was looking down at the record packaging, when suddenly a voice came from the front.

Chen Qiming looked up, it was Takeshi Kaneshiro.

He was looking at Chen Qiming with a complicated expression, congratulating again, "Congratulations, you have successfully entered the ranks of big stars!"

Kaneshiro Takeshi is really complicated in his heart now.

Both envious and jealous.

He has been in Fulong for more than two years, although the company has been saying that he is a favorite.

But up to now, he is still just a little transparent in the circle.

And Chen Qiming.

As soon as this guy joined the company, he was immediately invested in releasing records by the company.

That's fine, but this guy is still so fierce, an EP record, let him soar into the sky, and become an existence that can almost compare with Lin Zhiying, Wu Qilong and other Taiwan idols.

"Thank you! Come on, I believe you will get a chance soon."

Chen Qiming smiled and thanked.

As for Takeshi Kaneshiro, although Chen Qiming didn't like him very much, he didn't dislike him either.

"Yes, I will not be inferior to you!"

Takeshi Kaneshiro nodded, then said a few words to Chen Qiming, and then walked to Liu Ciwei's office.

Watching him leave, Chen Qiming's eyes pondered slightly. From Takeshi Kaneshiro's words, Chen Qiming could hear his confidence.

This kind of confidence has his confidence in himself, and the rest probably comes from the company!

It should be that the company has already started the promotion of Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Shaking his head, Chen Qiming stopped thinking about it, but walked to the recording area.

Since Meng Tingwei is coming this afternoon, he has to prepare in advance and try to finish the recording in one afternoon.

He didn't want to have problems when he was recording and be looked down upon.
