Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

"Hello everyone, my name is Edison Chen, and I am currently studying in the United States.

I am a fan of Brother Qiming and I heard that he initiated this talent show.

I thought I had good abilities, so I participated in this draft. "

After a commercial by Chen Qitai, the last contestant Edison Chen appeared.

This guy is worthy of being the one who dares to take the first seat as soon as he comes up. He has a strong aura and introduces himself with ease as soon as he comes up.

"You are very confident." Several instructors have long seen his confidence.

If he is not confident, he will not go on the field and go straight to the first seat.

"You have seen that there are not many places left in the current A-level area.

So, what song are you going to sing to conquer us? "Leslie Cheung asked, pointing to the sign behind the seat representing the remaining seats.

"What I brought was an English rap song, "Lose Yourself" by Eminem."

Edison Chen on the stage glanced at Chen Qiming and said.

"English rap?"

After hearing Edison Chen's words, several people, including Chen Qiming, became interested.

"This song is not easy to sing. As the new rap king in the United States in the past two years, Eminem is known for his fast rap.

The same is true for this song "Lose Yourself". Although it can only be regarded as a moderately fast song among his songs, it is not easy to sing. Can you really control it? "

Although Leslie Cheung is somewhat dissatisfied with Edison Chen's arrogance.

But he was still very optimistic about Edison Chen, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave Edison Chen a chance to change the song again.

"I'm confident." Edison Chen looked confident.

Leslie Cheung opened his mouth and could only say: "The stage will be left to you."

The lights dimmed, and Edison Chen walked to the center of the stage and began to sway to the music.

"How's it going? Typhoon isn't bad! He doesn't have stage fright at all."

Before Edison Chen started singing, Leslie Cheung only saw his confident expression on the stage and couldn't help but turned sideways and said to Chen Qiming.

"Not bad!" Chen Qiming also agreed.

For future generations, Edison Chen can become a man's dream. In addition to his superb appearance, his own charm is also an important factor.

Growing up in the United States, he was exposed to gangsta rap and other rebellious cultures from an early age, which naturally gave him a rebellious and rebellious nature.

The lethality of this style to women is unparalleled.

In the entertainment industry, this style is also very popular.

When Chen Qiming first debuted, he had countless scenes in this style, and countless girls were deeply fascinated by him.

At this time, Edison Chen's style was very similar to that of Chen Qiming.

No, as soon as Edison Chen sang the first line on the stage, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but look at Chen Qiming.

"Chen Sang, do you feel that he looks a lot like you when you first debuted?"

"It's very similar. I've only seen this handsome style in him.

I have to say that although this guy is arrogant and confident, he does have the capital to be arrogant. "Leslie Cheung interrupted.

At this time, Edison Chen on the stage was already going crazy.

He sang "Lose Yourself" directly, and the audience couldn't help but get excited along with the rhythm.

"Listen well, what kind of song is this?"

"Awesome! So cool!"

"Ah ah ah, he is so handsome. I have decided that from now on Edison Chen will be my second idol after Ming Tsai."

Except for the audience.

Everyone in the contestants' seats looked solemn as they looked at the stunningly cool Edison Chen on the stage.

Especially those who have obtained A-level ratings, all of them regard Edison Chen as their biggest opponent.

"Look! Listen!!"

"If U had one shot. If you had tried."

"Or one opportunity. Or you have an opportunity."

"To seize everything U ever wanted. To seize everything you ever wanted."

"One moment. Just in a moment."

"Would U capture it? Could you seize this opportunity?"

……

While singing, Edison Chen walked around the stage, making gestures that only rappers would do from time to time.

Rap has become popular throughout Asia in recent years with the emergence of Chen Qiming.

But the time is still short after all, so for ordinary audiences, this style of music and singing method are still very novel.

In addition, the current communication method is slow, and ordinary audiences rarely listen to English songs. In the eyes of these audiences, this song "Lose Yourself" is almost equivalent to a new song.

Why are Hong Kong singers in the 1990s called porters by later generations?

The big reason is actually that the speed of communication in this era is slow, and many foreign classic songs have basically never been heard by ordinary audiences.

After singers cover them, these songs that the general audience has never heard are equivalent to new songs, and they can easily become popular in places like Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If it is easy to become popular, it will naturally be easy to make money.

Record labels are built to make money.

They don't care whether music in your place can develop or not.

What they need is business.

Making money is business.

For the sake of business, record companies naturally spare no effort to collect famous foreign songs and let the company's singers cover them.

Chen Qiming understands this very well.

When he released Japanese records and English records.

Because the songs in it are very popular in Japan, Europe and the United States.

Then there are many songs by Chen Qiming that are not sung in Chinese versions.

As a result, many record companies immediately came to him and wanted to buy the Chinese adaptation rights of his songs.

This situation gradually decreased until Chen Qiming repeatedly refused and rarely sold the copyright of song adaptations.

In addition, after the time entered the mid-1990s, as Hong Kong movies began to decline, a large number of investors withdrew.

Inevitably, the recording industry has also been affected, and China's recording and film industries have temporarily moved to Baodao.

And Chen Qiming often preaches the importance of originality, and his originality has set off an original craze among fans.

In addition, several major radio stations in Hong Kong have also begun to support original works.

Only then did the trend of adapting foreign songs gradually weaken.

Of course, there is also a certain reason that the Japanese music scene has declined in recent years, and there are no good songs to cover.

As for English…

As we all know, Japanese evolved from Chinese. The two languages ​​are very similar and are more suitable for adaptation.

English grammar is very different from Chinese and is relatively more difficult, so there are fewer singers adapting English.

Although there have been fewer adaptations in the past two years.

But that doesn’t mean that adaptations can’t be popular here.

If it is adapted well, it will actually become popular very easily.

The world that ordinary viewers of this period were exposed to was still very small.

I still don’t know many songs from the outside world.

Therefore, when Edison Chen sang "Lose Yourself", although the song was in English, the melody of the song was nice, and Edison Chen was handsome.

Therefore, the entire audience was directly conquered by Edison Chen.

Cheers followed one after another.

Chen Qiming even began to hear fans shouting loudly in the audience that they wanted to give Edison Chen a baby.

"Scumbag!"

Glancing at the girl who shouted loudly that she wanted to give birth to a child for Edison Chen, Chen Qiming couldn't help but curse in his heart.

When he came on stage just now, the female fan was still shouting that she wanted to give him a child. However, it didn't take long for her to change her mind.

"Crack!" On the stage, Edison Chen's performance had ended.

Leslie Cheung and other instructors began to applaud Edison Chen's wonderful performance.

Chen Qiming also clapped his hands.

Although I am jealous that this guy stole my fans.

But one thing is undeniable, that is, Edison Chen sings very well.

His English doesn't have an accent like the singers here in China.

There is no accent, and his style is very rap-like, which makes Edison Chen's completion of this song very high.

Well done, that's commendable.

Therefore, Chen Qiming is not stingy with his applause.

"You sang so well. You are the first contestant on this stage today who made me feel that I was the right person to participate in this audition."

Leslie Cheung was the first to speak.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with Edison Chen, and his words are full of praise and praise for him.

"Thank you!" Edison Chen stood in the center of the stage, showing a ruffian smile.

"As far as I know, Mingzai must have written the lyrics for this song!"

After praising Edison Chen, Leslie Cheung looked at Chen Qiming.

"Yes, Eminem is a singer from my American branch. He composed this song. After I read the song, I helped him change the lyrics." Chen Qiming nodded in response.

"Wow...this song belongs to Mingzai?"

"No wonder it sounds so good. It turns out to be Mingzai's song, so it's not surprising."

"However, Mingzai's Qidian Records has actually been released in the United States. This is amazing."

"You frog in the well, what do you know? Mingzai is very popular in the United States.

Haven't you heard that foreigners say that he is the only singer currently who can be compared with Michael Jackson?

He is so fierce, why is it strange that he opened a record company to the United States? "

"That's right, the eldest cousin of my aunt's third son is in the United States. When they came back to visit relatives, they said that Mingzai was very popular in the United States.

It is said that even the President of the United States mentioned him at a press conference. "

The audience in the audience showed surprise after learning that Chen Qiming participated in the creation of this song.

They could tell from Leslie Cheung's words that this song was very popular in foreign countries, but they didn't expect that Chen Qiming actually participated in the creation.

In fact, this is caused by the inconvenience of information dissemination.

Almost most Chinese fans and viewers have seen the news and know that Chen Qiming is an international superstar and is very popular around the world.

However, those who have never seen it in person can only know this through the news.

I have never seen it in person, so naturally I don’t know much about how popular Chen Qiming is.

Now, after reading Leslie Cheung's words and knowing that Chen Qiming participated in the creation of songs by very popular singers in the United States, they generally have some understanding of Chen Qiming's popularity.

Then, everyone shared weal and woe.

"Edison Chen is good, he has a Mingzai style."

"Have you noticed that Edison Chen and Ming Tsai look alike!"

"Yes, when you said that, I also discovered that they are also handsome guys."

"Get out of here, I said they look alike."

"There is indeed a bit of a resemblance, but it's not the appearance, but the style. They are both so handsome."

"But their surname is Chen! Do you think they are relatives?"

"Boss, why are you talking about relatives again?

A few days ago you were saying that Chen Qitai was Ming Tsai's brother. Within a few days, you were randomly adding relatives to Ming Tsai.

If Mingzi knew that you were helping him find relatives everywhere, he would probably be angry to death. "

The audience is talking about Chen Qiming and Edison Chen.

I have to say that Edison Chen's singing was a success.

He succeeded in arousing the interest of the live audience.

Not only the live audience, but if nothing else happens, after "Idol of the Times" premieres on ATV, he may also attract a large number of TV viewers to become his fans.

This is the draft.

As long as there is strength and the program team does not target it, it will easily attract the attention of the audience.

Later generations of star-making programs such as Happy Girls, Happy Boys, Idol Producers, etc. can quickly launch singers who are popular across the country. The reason is that this kind of stage shows the singers in an all-round way, making it easy for the audience to get involved and become fans of the singers.

There is no doubt that Edison Chen conquered judges such as Chen Qiming with his outstanding performance and received four A's.

He is also the first straight-A player so far.

Because several other A-level players all got three A's.

The first four-a player, this allowed Edison Chen to take the first seat without any controversy.

Now that the program is here, the first episode is also declared complete.

The promotion competition will officially start in the next period, and one hundred will advance to fifty.

The next show starts tomorrow.

It lasted four days in total.

At the end of the program, all the students stood on the stage and began to sing the theme song of "Idol of the Times" "Chasing Dreams".

Well, I didn’t say it, but Chen Qiming came up with this song.

Since we are going to do a variety show, we must have a theme song.

"Chasing Dreams" is obviously a perfect fit for this show.

Because tomorrow the program team will hand over "Chasing Dreams" to major radio stations for promotion.

So after the students finished singing the song on the stage, they immediately followed the program staff to the recording studio.

They will record the song tonight.

As for the MV, the program team started filming for everyone as early as the day the contestants came to ATV.

Of course, the shots taken at that time were almost the same for a hundred people.

But after today's show, the editing of MVs has roughly become standard.

That is, the MV shots are mostly taken from people with higher ratings.

Although there may be a dark horse outbreak in the future, from D or C level to the final group group.

But this possibility is basically unlikely.

Whether one person can do it or not will be determined by the instructor and judges during the first recording session.

Maybe no one can predict the final championship, second and third place.

But those who formed the group were probably the ones who, including Chen Qiming and others, already knew it.

"Would you like to go have a drink together?"

After the recording, Leslie Cheung invited Chen Qiming and three others.

"It's my first time coming to Hong Kong and I plan to go shopping, so I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang."

Shin Seung-hoon refused.

Leslie Cheung looked at Akina Nakamori again.

"My agent arranged an event for me, I'm really sorry."

Akina Nakamori smiled apologetically.

"They don't want to go, so let's go!"

Chen Qiming was busy, but after thinking about it, he decided to go have a drink with Leslie Cheung.

Leslie Cheung has been having a hard time lately.

He has been tortured by the media since he announced his boyfriend to the public.

On the surface it looked like nothing was wrong with him.

But the attentive Chen Qiming was assured that under his bright smile, he had a very tired heart.

He planned to comfort him.
