Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 407 Global sales explode, a backstab from the God of Gamblers

After negotiating with Fox, Chen Qiming focused on his own records.

As the reputation of the album "Baby" gradually spreads, starting on November [-], Warner Records will officially promote the album to regions around the world with English-language record markets.

The album "baby" has been released one after another in Canada, Europe, Spain, Australia, and Japan and South Korea in Asia.

The album "Baby" is as powerful as Chen Qiming's "Heart Is Too Soft", which is very popular.

This album was a hit in Europe and the United States, and after Chen Qiming became the most popular singer in the United States, the album also gained great fame in other regions.

With multiple slogans such as being No. [-] on the North American sales chart, No. [-] on the Billboard charts, and a record-breaking album, this album was immediately welcomed by fans as soon as it was released in other countries except the United States.

In addition, Chen Qiming also has a certain reputation in these places.

Therefore, one week after the release of "Baby", it immediately became a big hit in the global market.

In one week, the album sold an astonishing [-] million copies in many countries around the world.

Popular around the world!

It can only be described as popular all over the world.

The song "Baby" became popular all over the world in a short period of time. In countries where English is the main language, this song is loved by countless fans.

The streets and alleys are full of singing "baby, baby, baby, oh...".

In just two weeks, Chen Qiming suddenly became the most popular singer in the world.

Of course, in his base camp in Asia, Chen Qiming is naturally very prosperous.

In Japan, Chen Qiming once again won the Most Popular Foreign Singer award at this year's Record Awards, beating Michael Jackson and Madonna. This was the third consecutive year that he defeated them.

This makes Chen Qiming unparalleled in Japan's limelight.

Even Kimura Takuya and others who have become popular in Japan in the past two years are far different from him.

The same is true in South Korea. Chen Qiming directly ranked first in South Korea's favorite foreign stars this year. Jet Li, Jackie Chan and other film and television superstars have all been stepped on. Others like Michael Jackson have also become his green suit.

Not to mention the Chinese-speaking region, the album "Baby" was directly listed as an English album and topped the sales list in the Chinese-speaking region that week.

This is the first time someone has achieved this feat with an English album in the Chinese-speaking region.

And when the album "Baby" became a global hit, catapulting Chen Qiming into the ranks of the world's top superstars and keeping him busy, Fox finally decided to let Chen Qiming join "Titan" after a long discussion. Nick" project.

In fact, Fox was still hesitating whether to let Chen Qiming join.

Because after Chen Qiming contacted Fox, Paramount suddenly lowered its conditions and planned to join the project for $[-] million and half of the revenue share.

Compared with Paramount, the top film and television company in the United States, although Chen Qiming is quite powerful, it is definitely not as good as one of the seven major Hollywood companies.

Just when Fox was planning to cooperate with Paramount and abandon Chen Qiming, the global sales data of Chen Qiming's records began to be transmitted back.

Six million three hundred thousand a week.

This horrifying data not only shocked countless music critics and colleagues in the music industry.

It also allowed Fox to see Chen Qiming's appeal and popularity.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, Chen Qiming is qualified to be called a global superstar.

Global superstar, although many people have this title, few truly achieve it.

Currently, the recognized global superstars are actually Michael Jackson and Madonna, as well as Elvis Presley many years ago.

Fox is an American company, and they know better than anyone else the appeal of people like Michael Jackson.

Have you ever seen that one of his song MVs can attract millions of people to pay to watch.

At this time, Chen Qiming suddenly became such a superstar.

Coupled with Chen Qiming's connections and appeal in Asia, this caused Fox to directly give up cooperation with Paramount.

They feel that it is obviously more beneficial to cooperate with Chen Qiming, a current global superstar.

Therefore, Fox immediately contacted Chen Qiming and agreed to let him join the "Titanic" project.

November [-]th. [-]th Century Fox invited many reporters to witness the signing ceremony of both parties.

Facing reporters, the person in charge of Fox said: "Chen has extraordinary global appeal. His joining will make "Titanic" even more powerful. We believe that this movie is bound to be a huge success.

Of course, we didn't bring Chen on board because of his fame.

It's because he is an outstanding film and television practitioner. He served as screenwriter for "Anaconda" and "The Reaper", both of which achieved great success in North America. Among them, "Anaconda" was the top box office hit in the world in [-]. top ten.

His vision and talent in film and television are obvious to all, and we need his talent very much..."

Although Fox tried its best to deny that they did not let Chen Qiming join the new project because he is now popular around the world.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Fox actually came here because of Chen Qiming’s fame.

They want to use Chen Qiming to make the box office of "Titanic" more secure.

Otherwise, how could they give up cooperating with Paramount? When it comes to talent, Paramount obviously has more talent. Three stooges are as good as Zhuge Liang. Paramount has so many talents, and together they will definitely surpass Chen Qiming.

Therefore, Fox came here because of Chen Qiming's fame.

The signing ceremony was very simple because the specific signing negotiations were completed yesterday.

Chen Qiming and Fox hired professional lawyers and worked for a whole day to finalize the contract.

As for today's signing, it is actually just a formality.

Even today's contracts are just for show.

Many people should know that business contracts sometimes contain a lot of confidentiality.

In order to prevent some terms and details from being known to others, today's contract only included a few random clauses.

It can even be said that today's contract may not be taken seriously, because it does not really mention the specific cooperation between the two parties.

……

After the signing was completed, Fox held a banquet for Chen Qiming.

At the banquet, Chen Qiming not only met many directors and actors from the Fox family, but also met many film and television producers. The two parties exchanged business cards and phone numbers, which once again expanded Chen Qiming's connections in Hollywood.

Because Chen Qiming has been so popular recently.

Some people in the music industry even said that he was Michael Jackson's biggest rival, which made him very popular in Hollywood.

At the banquet, Chen Qiming became the focus of everyone.

Directors and actors all came up to talk to him.

"Chen, I really want to work with you for a while. I like "Anaconda" so much. It is simply the ceiling of adventure films."

"Chen, I have a project. Disney was very interested in it, but I don't like working with them. Can you take a look at my script?"

"OMG, your record is really crazy. I'm walking on the street and almost everyone is humming your song!"

"Thank you!"

……

The next day, news about Chen Qiming's cooperation with Fox to jointly invest in James Cameron's new film "Titanic" appeared on the American film and television pages.

Immediately afterwards, Fox contacted Chen Qiming, hoping that Chen Qiming's funds would be in place as soon as possible. They were already very eager to put the film back into filming.

According to the agreement between Chen Qiming and Fox.

Qiming Film and Television’s investment will not go through Fox’s hands.

Chen Qiming is very clear about the piss-poor nature of Hollywood companies. If he gives money to Fox, there is a high probability that the money will be transferred to Fox's left hand and right hand.

Therefore, in order to avoid being taken for granted, Chen Qiming sent a production team directly to the Titanic crew, and all subsequent film shooting funds were directly provided by him, without going through the hands of Fox. When Chen Qiming sent his production team to the Titanic crew, news that he had reached a cooperation with Fox and invested US$[-] million in a new project also spread back to Asia.

Regarding his investment this time, some people think he is too generous, while others think he has done a good job and has become a partner of the top Hollywood film and television companies so quickly.

"Sixty million US dollars is going to be thrown away, and Chen Qiming will definitely come back with a broken head and blood."

"What Chen Qiming did is right. The [-] million US dollars may be a loss, but this is also a good opportunity. Chen Qiming has successfully joined the vehicle of cooperation with top Hollywood companies.

Regardless of whether this time is successful or not, his cooperation will open up a new world for him in Hollywood. "

"This is James Cameron, the world's top director, and Mingzai is getting better and better!"

……

No matter what everyone thinks of Chen Qiming’s investment this time.

One thing is for sure.

That is, Chen Qiming is no longer a simple actor and singer.

Previously, although Chen Qiming owned a large number of companies in Asia, he was also one of the strongest money-drawers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

But everyone's impression of him is basically that of a singer and actor.

But this time, Chen Qiming suddenly teamed up with Fox, a top European and American company, and made a large investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

This directly caused Chen Qiming's impression in everyone's minds to undergo earth-shaking changes.

That afternoon, Chen Qiming received a call from two good friends, Andy Lau and Liming.

Without further ado, these two guys asked Chen Qiming directly and clearly if there were any roles suitable for them in "Titanic".

Chen Qiming was speechless when asked directly.

But it's normal to think about it.

This is a world that values ​​connections.

China, in particular, attaches great importance to personal connections.

With Chen Qiming, a man who has prospered in Hollywood, it would be strange if they didn't come and give him a try.

Moreover, given the relationship between them, it would be better to ask directly like this.

But let them down.

Although Chen Qiming invested in Titanic, he promised Fox and Cameron that he would not interfere in the production of this project.

Therefore, even if Andy Lau and Leon Lai want to cooperate with the famous James Cameron, Chen Qiming has no choice.

In addition to Andy Lau and Lai Ming, several agents in Hong Kong who hold many actor contracts also called Chen Qiming.

For example, Chen Ziqiang and Zhang Guozhong.

These two people are currently the most powerful agents in Hong Kong.

They include almost most of the top stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

They all want to get a contract from Hollywood from Chen Qiming.

Let your own actors enter Hollywood.

no way.

In the past two years, Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan have successively made their mark in Hollywood.

More and more actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan are beginning to yearn for Hollywood.

Especially after Li Mingdu got a certain invitation for "Death Comes" in Hollywood, these people became even more jealous and ran to Hollywood one by one.

Unfortunately, not everyone is Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan.

At present, most people who come to Hollywood to make a career, although because of Chen Qiming's relationship with Jackie Chan, occasionally get a small role in Hollywood, most of them are small supporting roles that no one pays attention to.

Even Chow Yun-fat, once Hong Kong's top star, is currently running into obstacles in Hollywood.

Therefore, after discovering that Chen Qiming now has a close relationship with Warner Bros. and Fox in Hollywood and has even begun to collaborate on projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, these people could no longer sit still and found Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming always refused.

Others thought he had everything in Hollywood.

In fact, he also has a certain status in the music world.

In the Hollywood film and television industry, he is still far behind!

He really didn't have the face to ask him to help these people contact the crew.

Moreover, the so-called fertilizer does not flow to outsiders.

If he really had the chance, he would definitely give priority to his own people, how could he consider these outsiders.

Just like Chow Yun-fat.

After the other party learned that Chen Qiming was cooperating with Fox, he immediately contacted him.

I actually hope that he can convince Fox to start the project he talked about as soon as possible.

Well, after Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan became famous in Hollywood, Fox signed a contract with Chow Yun-fat and planned to create a movie with him as the protagonist.

However, the whereabouts of this drama have not yet been found.

For this reason, Chow Yun-fat is very anxious and hopes that Chen Qiming can help.

In response, Chen Qiming directly refused.

He and Fox just have a cooperative relationship.

He's not the other person's eldest father.

Since the other party signed Chow Yun-fat, he must have his own plan.

If Chen Qiming doesn't understand clearly and interferes in other people's internal affairs, he will look too stupid.

However, Chen Qiming refused politely.

But Chow Yun-fat doesn't think so.

After Chen Qiming refused to work for Chow Yun-fat.

The next day, Chow Yun-fat began to ridicule Chen Qiming in the newspaper.

He said a lot, but the general idea was the same.

It means that Chen Qiming looks down on others. Not only does he not help his fellow villagers, he also suppresses them.

After his words were transmitted back to Hong Kong, they were immediately interpreted word for word.

Finally, some media came to a conclusion.

I think Chow Yun-fat has been in Hollywood for several years but has still achieved nothing. Maybe Chen Qiming is behind it.

Expectations sometimes pop up like this for no reason.

Chen Qiming is in his prime.

The sudden public opinion naturally attracted a lot of attention.

In just two days, many colleagues knew about it.

Some people followed the public and publicly criticized Chen Qiming directly in the media.

Some people also called to ask Chen Qiming why.
