Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 322 Chen Qiming was squeezed out by Japanese singers

Best composition, best lyrics, two gold records, best gold record, and best singer of the year (foreign version), six awards.

Every award is heavyweight.

All these awards were collected by Chen Qiming alone, which directly caused an uproar in the Japanese music scene.

As the saying goes, music has no borders, this is just a way of saying it.

The development of singers from different countries in other countries is always restricted.

Chen Qiming is famous in Japan, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as extremely popular.

But this will also bring disadvantages to Chen Qiming.

This disadvantage has not been reflected before.

And when Chen Qiming swept the Japan Golden Disc Awards and made many local Japanese singers the laughing stock, this disadvantage began to show up.

That night, a large banquet was held at the Golden Record Awards Ceremony.

Most of the singers who participated in the award ceremony were present.

Chen Qiming is no exception.

He has been awarded so many awards at the Golden Record Awards Ceremony. It would be too offending if he didn't give him face.

Therefore, Chen Qiming also attended the banquet that night.

However, when Chen Qiming arrived at the banquet, he discovered something very frustrating.

He was sidelined.

Yes, that's it.

Except for some people behind the scenes and some record company executives.

That night, only Nakajima Miyuki and Sakai Izumi came to chat with him.

Not only did no one else, whether they were big or small singers, come to say hello to him, even if he took the initiative to chat with others, others would quickly find excuses to leave.

As a result, a very strange phenomenon occurred that night.

That is, wherever Chen Qiming goes, there will definitely be no one within a few steps around him.

Chen Qiming was not a fool. Within a few minutes, he understood that the singers in Japan had communicated privately and wanted to exclude and isolate him.

Although very angry.

But there was nothing Chen Qiming could do about this kind of thing.

In Japan, his sales and awards have crushed Japanese singers to the ground.

With such behavior, we can't expect all these Japanese singers to surround him politely!
Exclusion exists everywhere.

Even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the entertainment circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan have xenophobic sentiments, let alone him being a Chinese in Japan.

However, although I know that I am excluded and isolated by Japanese singers.

But Chen Qiming was not worried about what would happen.

He is no longer the little kid he was when he first came to Japan to develop.

To put it bluntly, he became very popular in Japan because of himself and his batch of fans.

As for Japanese singers…

Even if everyone ostracizes him, to be honest, it won't have much impact on him.

The only thing you have to worry about is these guys talking nonsense.

This is indeed a problem.

As we all know, for an artist, the reputation of his peers can easily guide the audience.

In the entertainment industry, we often see artists complimenting each other.

This is actually a manifestation of word-of-mouth.

Just like Andy Lau, the reason why he can become an evergreen tree in dreams.

In addition to his huge popularity among fans, praise from his peers is also one of the factors that contribute to his success.

Sometimes, when there are too many people praising something, what is false becomes true.

The same is true in Japan.

If these Japanese singers collectively say bad things about Chen Qiming.

Not much, but if one person says something, it will have a great impact on Chen Qiming's reputation.

However, there is no need to worry too much about this issue.

Chen Qiming is not a loner.

He has support in Japan.

Sony, Warner Japan and Johnny's are all his backers.

Other singers need to consider this aspect when they want to say bad things about him.

If they are not afraid of offending these companies, then they can speak freely.

But in Japan, to be honest, the above three companies have almost occupied the top large companies in Japan.

An artist management company, a record distribution company, a leading group covering all walks of life and owning countless artist-endorsed products.

There are three existences that many Japanese singers cannot afford to offend.

Therefore, Chen Qiming is not too worried that he will become a being that everyone shouts about because he is excluded.

After the Golden Disc Awards ended, news about the awards spread widely in Japan for a while.

Almost everyone knows that Chen Qiming from China swept the Golden Record Awards and won six heavyweight awards in one fell swoop.

Even in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even the Mainland, news about this award has spread a lot.

However, compared to before, the fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan were not too excited this time.

I really can't get interested anymore.

In the past few years, Chen Qiming has been fighting in the field, and he will break a record every once in a while.

Sales have hit new highs repeatedly, and awards have been won one after another.

Last year alone, Chen Qiming won more than 120 awards, both large and small, both in person and on behalf of others. He can be called an awards bulldozer.

The Japan Golden Disc Award is indeed a grand prize.

But for this award, Chen Qiming had already won several major awards the year before last and the year before last.

This year, although the awards were directly slaughtered, it was big news.

But because of expectations, fans were not interested in it.

At most, when mentioning Chen Qiming, you can proudly say, "My idol has won another award!"

Therefore, compared to Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places are also spreading the news about Chen Qiming's award in Japan, but compared to Japan, the popularity is much less.

While the Japanese media was still immersed in the afterglow of the Golden Disc Award, on October [-], Chen Qiming attended the Tokyo Music Festival with Sakai Izumi's band.

Riding on the big news just made at the Golden Disc Awards.

After it was announced that Chen Qiming would be attending this music festival, the number of attendees at the music festival reached a record of 3000, filling up all the music festival venues.

That night, as soon as Chen Qiming appeared on the stage, more than [-] people in the audience immediately stood up and shouted Chen Qiming's name wildly.

A "Bamboo Song" directly triggered a chorus, with more than 6 people singing in chorus, which almost scared the singers attending the music festival so much that they trembled while singing.

Chen Qiming's attendance at this music festival was purely for fun.

So he didn’t sing much at the festival.

They sang three songs in total and then left the stage.

It must be said that "Ride on the Back of the Silver Dragon" is indeed a record-breaking album.

The songs on the record are all hits.

Especially the few golden songs in it, almost everyone in Japan can sing them.

Chen Qiming basically only needs to start the song, and the fans in the audience will help him finish the song.

Well, after the whole show, Chen Qiming sang less than six lyrics in total, and the rest were all sung by fans.

When he came off the stage, Izumi Sakai was still lamenting that Chen Qiming was definitely the singer who made the easiest money.

You can easily get 1000 million yen without even breaking a sweat.

After the music festival ended, Chen Qiming asked Sakai Izumi to go shopping.

In the past few days, when he had nothing to do in Japan, he made dates with Sakai Izumi.

After a period of contact, the relationship between the two parties has become very good.

Although they are not lovers yet, they are already more than just friends.It's just a pity that Chen Qiming won't be able to stay in Japan for long.

Tomorrow he will return to Treasure Island to make final preparations for his Mandarin album.

In addition, he also needs to go back and check on "The God of Death".

There is also "Anaconda". The post-production of this movie is in full swing. Around November, this movie starring Chen Qiming himself and targeting Hollywood will be released soon.

It can be said that he will have to be busy again in the next period of time.

"Are you really not planning to stay in Japan for a few more days?"

Mitsui Izakaya, a small tavern, Chen Qiming and Sakai Izumi found a small private room.

After drinking a little wine, Sakai Izumi's face looks like a ripe apple, making people want to take a bite.

She looked at Chen Qiming expectantly.

"I really hope to play more in Japan, but, you know, in our line of work, sometimes the busyness always comes quickly!"

Looking at the expectant eyes, Chen Qiming subconsciously wanted to agree.

When the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

"That's it..." Sakai Izumi nodded, lowered his head and stopped talking.

She is a person who is not good at expressing.

She has been in contact with Chen Qiming in the past few days, and she has a really good impression of Chen Qiming.

Sometimes, she also fantasized about whether Chen Qiming would become her significant other.

It's just... I didn't expect fate to come so quickly, but it seems to go quickly.

Emotion is just a feeling.

It will dissipate.

According to her estimation, if Chen Qiming leaves Japan this time, he may not return to Japan for a long time.

And without contact for a long time, she felt that the touch in her heart might dissipate.

Raising his head, Izumi Sakai picked up his wine glass and smiled, "I wish you a prosperous career!"

"Thank you!" Chen Qiming took a sip of wine.

After a long silence, he raised his head and asked, "Have you ever thought about developing in China?"

"what?"

Sakai Izumi was stunned.

"You can think about it. Although China's record market is not as good as Japan's at present, that is the overall market.

Look at me, each of the Chinese albums I released in China has sold no less than 400 million copies.

This data is difficult to achieve in Japan. "

Chen Qiming said.

"I'll think about it!" Sakai Izumi didn't answer immediately.

The two of them stayed in the izakaya for a while, then said goodbye and left.

In the car, Chen Qiming held his chin and began to think deeply.

He is considering the possibility of Sakai Spring Water developing in China.

In fact, the Chinese record market has developed very fast in the past two years.

Especially due to the impact of Chen Qiming's several records, the Chinese record market jumped several levels, and the market size went straight to English.

The power of Chen Qiming's records is absolutely huge.

Especially "Star Storm" and "Heart Is Too Soft".

Some people call these two records the greatest Chinese records of the 90s.

The reason why it is called so.

The reason is that these two records by Chen Qiming are so popular.

The sales volume of tens of millions directly increased last year's Chinese record sales by several levels.

In last year's global record market research.

The audience for Chinese records has directly surpassed the Japanese songs in Japan, the largest record market in Asia, and has become the second most popular song language after English.

Some people have even investigated it.

If piracy were not rampant in the Chinese-speaking music scene, Japan's position as Asia's number one record market might even be occupied by the Chinese-speaking region.

Under such circumstances, it is actually feasible for Sakai Izumi to develop in the Chinese music scene.

After all, Sakai Spring Water is actually very well-known in the Chinese-speaking area.

However, the possibility of allowing Japanese people to develop in the Chinese music scene is really slim.

Although I don’t want to admit it, it is a fact that the Japanese music scene looks down on the Chinese music scene.

Except sales.

Copyright issues are also a reason why Japanese singers rarely come to the Chinese music scene.

The Chinese music scene and the Japanese music scene are like two areas of different levels.

The Chinese music scene is in the novice zone, while the Japanese music scene has entered the advanced zone.

Just like playing games, if you ask a person who is in a high-level area to hang out in the novice area, it will be somewhat difficult.

Shaking his head, Chen Qiming did not think about this problem.

This depends on Izumi Sakai himself.

If she looks down on the Chinese music scene, then it goes without saying that the two of them may be destined for this.

But if she can get rid of that old concept, it might be a good thing for her and herself.

After all, the Chinese music scene is not entirely without merit.

If someone looks down on this place that can produce a superstar like himself, then they are blind...

On the [-]rd, without any fanfare or seeing anyone off, Chen Qiming quietly got on the plane and flew back to Treasure Island.

As soon as he came back, Chen Qiming immediately devoted himself to the production of Mandarin records.

The recording of this album is currently coming to an end.

It took three days, and on the [-]th, the recording of this album was completely completed.

Subsequently, Chen Qiming began to shoot the MV.

Chen Qiming invested a lot of money in the MV for this record.

They even directly paid for Tsui Hark to come over for filming.

The filming location was in the Mainland.

In the past two years, TV dramas and movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan have begun to abandon the previous studio-style shooting, and instead chose to shoot on location in the mainland.

This is one of the reasons why Hong Kong and Taiwan movies began to gradually decline.

After a large number of film workers went north, they stayed directly in the mainland.

Because the mainland is short of talents in this field, even if these people are just assistant directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, they may get the opportunity to direct their own movies after arriving in the mainland.

The first MV filmed by Chen Qiming was "Jiangnan".

For this MV, Chen Qiming did not choose the modern MV in his dream.

Instead, I chose to find a scenic spot in Hangzhou and directly filmed it into a costume MV.

In the past two years, costume films have become very popular and have set a trend.

Audiences like to watch this.

In addition, many of Chen Qiming's songs in this album tend to be of ancient style, so he shot them into ancient style MVs.

Of course, as the number one singer in the Chinese music scene, MV actors must be cautious.

Especially the heroine.

Chen Qiming has only one request for the heroine of the MV.

The heroine doesn't need to be famous, just beautiful.

To this end, Chen Qiming directly sent invitations to well-known agents and brokerage companies in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China.

Invite them to send actresses to interview their MV heroines.
