Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 361 Chen Qiming with diverse styles

Because they spent too long playing on the road, Chen Qiming and Mariah Carey ultimately failed to go for Chinese food.

At [-] noon, the two of them drove back to the hotel.

When they came back, the Grammy organizers had already begun to pick them up and take them to the award venue in an orderly manner.

However, most of the people picked up in the early stage were small stars, with a few well-known singers interspersed in between.

Chen Qiming started setting off at [-]:[-].

Arrive outside the venue at [-]:[-].

At this time, there was already a sea of ​​people outside the venue, and fans surrounded the red carpet entering the venue.

Reporters from all over the world crowded on both sides of the red carpet. Every time a singer or guest started to walk on the red carpet, they would immediately crowd around like crazy.

“Let us welcome Jamie Chen from Asia, Mr. Chen Qiming, with warm applause.

Mr. Chen was nominated for a total of six awards in this Grammy Awards, including Best Producer, Best Pop Singer, Best RB Rap and other heavyweight awards..."

Chen Qiming sat in the car arranged by the organizer and waited for a while, and the host's voice came out through the microphone.

"Chen, it's your turn to enter!"

Hearing the voice of the on-site host, the organizer staff who had been following Chen Qiming used the intercom to confirm it. After getting the correct reply, he spoke to Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming nodded, straightened his tie, and started to get out of the car.

buzzing...

The moment the car door opened, the noise from the outside world immediately came.

“啊啊啊……杰米……”

"Come on Qiming-san, we will always support you!"

"Jinzi..."

Various chaotic screams came from the crowd in all directions.

There are English, Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Needless to say, as a big international singer, Chen Qiming's reputation is more than one level better than other singers.

Most of the fan groups of other singers are concentrated in one language region. Only he has a large number of fans no matter which language region he is in.

Just like now, Japanese, English, Chinese and other languages ​​are all calling his name.

Chen Qiming waved to the fans around him with a smile, causing screams one after another.

The atmosphere of the entire scene reached a climax the moment he got off the car.

"Damn it, why is this guy so popular!"

In an organizer's luxury car near the red carpet, Kenneth's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing the fans cheering for Chen Qiming.

Although he knew Chen Qiminghong.

If it hadn't been popular, he wouldn't have won last year's annual sales championship.

But this was the first time for him to feel Chen Qiming's popularity at the scene. (Last year he entered early)

"I said, you shouldn't target him!"

The white agent sitting next to Kenneth said gloomily.

As he said that, he glanced at Kenneth with dissatisfaction.

He was really angry that this guy ignored the advice and went to offend Chen Qiming.

"It doesn't matter that he is popular. The best producer award belongs to me. The competition for awards is not about popularity!"

Kenneth didn't seem to feel the agent's dissatisfaction and grinned.

He seemed very confident.

"Chen, can you tell me how you feel about being shortlisted for six awards?"

"Jamie, have you responded to Kenneth's remarks? What do you think of him?"

"Mingzai, I'm a reporter from Oriental Daily. Look at me. I promise to take photos of you handsomely!"

"Jamie, look here, our magazine is going to put you on the cover tomorrow!"

……

Once a person becomes famous, he or she will be popular everywhere.

The same is true in North America.

Chen Qiming has an EP record, an official album, and a total of two English albums. Not only is his reputation huge, but his sales are also top among his peers.

In addition, last year's "Anaconda" starring him successfully ranked among the top ten in the global annual box office list.

This directly made him a high-profile figure internationally.

Normally, he is rarely in North America.

Therefore, when he appeared today, not only the fans at the scene were excited, but also reporters and media gathered around Chen Qiming.

clack clack...

The sound of the camera shutter kept ringing, and white light flashed in Chen Qiming's eyes.

Chen Qiming, who is used to standing under the screen, has become immune to camera flashes and greets fans and reporters without changing his expression.

But he didn't return to the reporter's question.

Instead, they continued to walk on the red carpet in an orderly manner.

It wasn't until after walking the red carpet that she couldn't see the fans anymore that she started to be interviewed by reporters.

"I am honored to be nominated for a Grammy again, and to be nominated for so many at once. The Grammy is a fair award, and I am very much looking forward to being on the podium."

"I don't know Kenneth, oh, you mean baby face! I didn't expect him to be Kenneth. I didn't read much about his remarks, but I think the public will judge whether my song can be shortlisted or not. Les Mills.

However, I don’t think the Grammy judges’ vision should be questioned. "

"New album? I'm sorry I can't answer this right now, but there will definitely be an English album this year."

"Michael? I have talked with him. He is a very good person and has a sense of music that is incomparable to ordinary people.

As for his personal life, I have very little personal contact with him and I cannot comment! "

"International form? This journalist friend, you should ask the White House about this question. I am not involved in politics!"

Journalists today have a lot of questions.

Someone asked him about Kenneth. In response, Chen Qiming was not used to Kenneth and said something strangely.

Then someone asked him about Michael Jackson.

In the past two years, Michael Jackson has been deeply involved in the crisis of child molestation cases, and his reputation around the world is not very good.

Although Chen Qiming had his own opinions on this matter, he did not want to get involved.

This is a fight between Michael Jackson and capital. It is not suitable for him to intervene to help either side, so He Xini said that he did not know is the most correct answer.

As for reporters who asked him about some international issues, Chen Qiming responded directly.

This guy was completely insecure and actually asked him some very sensitive things.

After staying in the interview area for more than a minute, the singers walking on the red carpet behind him had already started walking on the red carpet. Only then did Chen Qiming end the interview and quickly walked into the venue.

"Chen, I hope you will be the big winner tonight!"

"Jamie, I'm Annie, we met at a party!"

"Chen, your song "Everlasting" is so great. It's the best country music I've ever heard!"

There were already many guests and singers in the venue.

After seeing Chen Qiming, many people stood up and said hello.

Again, the entertainment industry is a vanity fair.

Here, personal connections are a very important thing.

There are many people here, even if they actually hate Chen Qiming, who came from a foreign country to compete with them for food.

But on the surface, most people are still willing to give Chen Qiming's data some face.

Of course, Kenneth’s situation is another matter.

You never know what's going on in this black guy's mind.

Chen Qiming is clearly one of the most popular people in the global music market.Regardless of popularity, sales, or resources, he is top notch.

But it was as if he didn't see any of this.

In this regard, you can't find any other words to describe him except calling him stupid.

After chatting for a few words with the singers who came to get close to each other, Chen Qiming quickly came to his seat and sat down.

After sitting down, he first looked around.

His position this year is in the second row.

A step further than last year.

On his left is Madonna, on his right is Michael Jackson, and behind him is Mariah Carey.

However, none of these three people have arrived yet.

"Chen, nice to meet you! I'm Joe Walsh!"

As soon as Chen Qiming sat down, a middle-aged white man from a seat away smiled and said hello to him.

Chen Qiming didn't know him.

But it didn't stop him from smiling at the other person.

Generally speaking, being able to be placed in the second row by the organizer definitely holds a pivotal position in North America.

"Do you like to play rock and roll? I heard your song "Take Me to Your Heart". It's such an amazing song!"

The middle-aged man approached Chen Qiming with a smile.

As he stood up, Chen Qiming also saw the name on his chair.

The Eagles.

Seeing this name, Chen Qiming immediately knew who the person in front of him was.

Guitarist of the Eagles and one of the band's songwriters.

"Hotel California", hailed by North American Rolling Stone magazine as one of the most classic rock songs of the 80s, is their work.

"I have dabbled in all kinds of music, but compared to the seniors in the Eagles, I'm probably far behind!"

Chen Qiming said modestly.

"Take Me to Your Heart" is a song adapted from "Kiss Goodbye", although it was not written by Chen Qiming, it was just an adaptation.

But the musical form of this song has had a huge impact in North America.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the rock circle, all his other songs combined are not as good as his song.

Well, that's typical of my school and I can only scold myself.

In the rock circle, rock is the best music in the world. As for other music, no matter how good it is, it cannot compare to rock.

"I think you can try more rock creations, you are very talented in this area!"

Joe Walsh said.

"Thank you! I will consider it!"

Chen Qiming nodded to accept the other party's proposal.

In fact, he doesn't need to say it, Chen Qiming also plans to add two more rock songs to his next album.

Unlike other singers, he pursues a unified style when releasing records.

Since the second year of his debut, his recording style has begun to no longer stick to a certain type of song.

His subsequent records can be seen in various music genres such as rock, rap, pop, and even country.

At the beginning, the inconsistent style of Chen Qiming's records was once a factor that caused music critics to complain about him.

But as the number of his records increased, his popularity and status grew.

The inconsistent style has become a kind of label for him.

The famous Hong Kong composer Huang Nian once said of Chen Qiming,
"Chen Qiming is an enviable genius. You can never guess his song style. On the same album, the first song may be a traditional pop song, but the next song can immediately transition to folk songs, and then rock...

His recording style is definitely the most unique in the world today, and every fan can find their favorite type of song in his records.

If I were to choose a singer who is most likely to become a global superstar and even be liked by everyone, I would recommend Chen Qiming first! "

It was late 1993 when Huang Nian made these remarks.

At that time, Chen Qiming had not yet released an English album.

At that time, Huang Nian was ridiculed by the media because of his phrase "global superstar".

It was not until Chen Qiming became famous in Japan and North America that Huang Nian's remarks were gradually recognized.

With the recognition, Chen Qiming's diversified recording styles have also become a label that he has.

However, last year, considering that it was mainly about attracting popularity and the number of songs was sufficient, he did not include rock songs in Chen Qiming's "Eternity" album.

This year, if he releases a new album, Chen Qiming no longer has to worry about popularity. He plans to gradually add songs of different styles to the album.

Continue to create your own diverse style.

Joe Walsh is indeed one of the songwriters of the Eagles, and his ideas in music creation are very admirable.

Chen Qiming only chatted with him for a while, but he learned a lot from him.

Especially the idea of ​​rock music.

In recent years, Chen Qiming has copied more and more of Future's songs.

As he accumulated more and more creations, he gradually began to have his own set of creative ideas.

If there is a bottleneck in creation.

He was in this state before.

Following a conversation with Joe Walsh, and inspired by Joe Walsh, Chen Qiming rarely felt that his bottleneck had been broken through.

Well, that is to say, he suddenly felt like he could write good songs too.

Especially English songs.

Before, he did nothing but copy.

Now, if he was allowed to write it himself, even if he didn't copy future songs, he felt that if he wrote songs according to what Joe Walsh said, he might be able to write a good English song.

Chen Qiming and Joe Walsh became more and more excited as they chatted.

The two started talking about traditional country rock, and then talked about heavy metal rock that has emerged in recent years.

Chen Qiming felt quite happy and reluctant to miss Shu.

Unfortunately, the conversation between the two was interrupted not long after.

Madonna is here!
As soon as the American diva arrived, she intervened in the conversation between the two.

However, she did not talk about music with Chen Qiming.

Instead, let’s talk about banquets and parties.

After all, Joe Walsh was old and didn't seem too interested in this aspect. He stopped talking after a few words.

Chen Qiming actually didn't want to talk about this. He was a reserved person.

But Madonna seemed interested in talking to him about it.

He opened his mouth and kept talking.

While chatting, she directly told Chen Qiming that many of her sisters like to have parties. If Chen Qiming has a party next time, he can invite her and she can help summon the sisters.

To be honest, Chen Qiming didn't expect Madonna to be such a person.

Summoning sisters is like being a madam!
Sure enough, the chaos in the Hollywood entertainment industry was beyond his imagination.

The majestic music queen can actually do this kind of thing.

However, thinking about Brad Pitt before, Chen Qiming is not surprised by this.

Hollywood stars obviously have a higher need for connections.

And partying is obviously an important occasion for networking.

In fact, many projects are completed at parties.

Therefore, it is not surprising that these celebrities hold parties every day and invite friends and clients.
