Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 92: The Smoking December Music World (Two Chapters in One)

Because he was also very busy, Chen Qiming didn't always help Zhang Yusheng on the platform.

After he helped run two promotions, he quit Zhang Yusheng's album promotion and started his own commercial performance and work.

oh!There is also a signing.

After the release of "Fairy Tale", Chen Qiming has basically never held a signing event, which made his fans very dissatisfied, and often wrote to UFO, demanding that the signing event be held quickly.

No way, the fans' request cannot be ignored.

So from mid-November, Chen Qiming started his autograph session.

……

When Chen Qiming ran a business show and held a signing event, the time quietly came to December.

Although it has been released for nearly two months, "Fairy Tale" still maintains a strong popularity.

"Fairy Tale" and "Blossoming Waves" are still stable in the top five of the major song charts, and "I Have You" and "Orange Perfume" can also hit the top five from time to time.

"Listen to Mom's Words" and "Taoxiang" and "Youth" are due to the problem of genre. Although those who like them regard them as masterpieces, there are also many people who don't like them.

Therefore, the positions of these three songs often change. When it was awesome, the song "Daoxiang" once reached the top three, but when it was pulling its hips, it fell directly to the bottom of the rankings.

Especially when December came, after several powerful songs appeared on the charts, these three songs were once squeezed out of the top ten list.

Then, with the help of the hot sales of the record, it came back again.

""Fairy Tale" fell to the top, and Zhang Yusheng's "Ocean" won the top spot on this week's Dragon and Tiger Golden Melody Chart!" ——Minsheng Daily.

"The fight is fierce, Chen Qiming, Zhang Yusheng, and Gao Shengmei are vying for the number one song list!" - Baodao Music World.

"Chen Qiming's rule is over, a strong enemy has not been defeated, and a new enemy has arrived!" -Taipei Daily.

On December [-]th, a new week began, and a large number of newspapers began to report some of the big events of yesterday.

Among them, Chen Qiming's "Fairy Tale" fell from the top spot on the Dragon and Tiger Golden Melody Chart for six consecutive weeks and became the hottest news.

In addition to the Dragon and Tiger Golden Melody Chart, the rankings of Chen Qiming's songs on the major song charts have undergone great changes.

First of all, "Fairy Tale" took the championship position for the first time, and fell directly to the third place.

Then, Chen Qiming's reign of seven songs occupying the top [-] positions on the song chart officially came to an end.

"Youth", "Listen to Mother's Words" and "Daoxiang" all fell out of the top ten positions, and Chen Qiming only had four songs left on the list.

They are the third "Fairy Tale", the fifth "Blossoming Waves", the sixth "I Have You in My Life" and the tenth "Orange Perfume".

The reason for such a sudden change is due to the influence of Zhang Yusheng's "Ocean".

There is also the impact from the album "The Legend of the White Lady".

In November, "Legend of the New White Snake" starring Chen Qiming officially started broadcasting on TTV.

This TV series only aired for a few episodes, and it directly broke the ratings record of Baodao.

In one month, this drama about Xu Xian and the white lady's snake love story became popular all over Treasure Island, and spread to other regions at an extremely fast speed.

How popular is "Legend of the New White Snake"?

Say so!

Just pick someone up on the street, and if you ask him what TV drama he is watching recently, he will definitely tell you that it is "Legend of the New White Snake".

Not only passers-by, but even Chen Qiming's mother and younger sister were fascinated by this TV series and stayed in front of the TV every day.

When it was broadcast two days ago that the white lady was pressed by Fahai under the Leifeng Pagoda, the couple were still crying, saying that Fahai didn't understand love.

In short, this TV series is directly known to the whole people.

Affected by this, the actors in the play have risen one by one.

Zhao Yazhi has regained her second spring, with constant film appointments and activities, she directly became the hottest star in November.

Well, only the four major idols of Formosa can compete with it.

In addition to Zhao Yazhi, Ye Tong also became famous in Baodao because of playing the role of Xu Xian.

In the past, apart from those who have watched her movies, I am afraid that few people really know about this Hong Kong actress.

but now……

The popularity of "Legend of the New White Snake" directly made her well-known in Baodao, and there were many film appointments.

There were even media reports that a TV station had paid Ye Tong 35 Taiwan dollars an hour and invited her to film.

35 an hour, what is this concept?
Based on this salary, she can at least earn NT$3000 million for one film.

The actors are so hot, so are the songs in the play.

A few days ago, Shanghua Records, also known as Shangge Records, released a collection of episodes of this show "The Legend of the White Lady Episode Collection".

As soon as this record was released, it quickly detonated the record market.

In the first week, the sales even surpassed the 11 copies of Chen Qiming's "Fairy Tale", and won the second place on the Taiwan's weekly sales list with [-] copies.

As for the number one, it is "The Sea" by Zhang Yusheng.

The songs in Zhang Yusheng's album are very popular, and Chen Qiming also sacrificed himself to help out a few times. Therefore, in the first week of this album, the sales volume reached 18 copies, almost equaling the first week of "Fairy Tale". data.

"Flying Saucer Civil War", this is the outside world's evaluation of the sales and chart competition between Zhang Yusheng and Chen Qiming.

This kind of evaluation is very common in Baodao in recent years.

Since Wang Jie joined the flying saucer in the late 80s, the flying saucer civil war has become a custom.

That's why.

The flying saucer is too fierce.

Over the past few years, the singers of flying saucers have become better than each other.

On other labels, double platinum would have been a sales success.

But in UFO, double platinum is just a pass line.

Yes, the flying saucer with a large number of popular idols is so fierce.

Records below double platinum are all failing records in this company.

It is also because there are too many popular singers under UFO, so the UFO civil war has instead become the focus of media attention in Taiwan.

Such as Wang Jie vs. Little Tigers, Little Tigers vs. Aaron Kwok, Chen Qiming vs. Lin Zhiying, etc. have all been things that they have paid attention to.

Therefore, when Zhang Yusheng defeated Chen Qiming to take the championship position, the Taiwan media immediately boiled over.

"The Rise of Taiwan Music".

Some media directly wrote so.

In the article, the author described the development of the music scene in Taiwan over the past few years, and then mentioned the duel between Chen Qiming and Zhang Yusheng.

He believes that this indicates that the Taiwan music scene is on the rise, and it may not be long before it will be able to overwhelm the Hong Kong music scene.

This article sold very well and was recognized by many people.

It is generally believed that the Taiwan music scene is about to rise.

While everyone was discussing this, "Waiting for a Millennium", "Fairy Tale" and "Ocean" also started a fierce battle in the next few weeks on the major song charts.

After being knocked out of the championship by "Ocean", Chen Qiming's fans were furious, and began to frantically order the song in the second week. At the same time, rich fans directly bought records at home in piles.

Times Weekly once reported that a rich second-generation fan of Chen Qiming ordered [-] tapes from UFO at one time, and then brought them to school to give to his classmates.

This matter was once on the social news.

Driven by the fans, in the second week, "Fairy Tale" returned to the championship position again.

However, "Fairy Tale" has been released for a long time after all, no matter how hot it is, it can't stand up to the two new songs "Ocean" and "Wait Once in a Millennium".

In the third week, under the influence of the TV series "Legend of the New White Snake", "Waiting for a Thousand Years" strongly ranked first.

In the next few weeks, you will compete for the three songs. Today you will be number one, and tomorrow I will be number one. They will compete so hard on the list that it will be impossible for other songs below to squeeze in.

Especially Zhou Huimin.

After the album was released in Taiwan in November, the sales volume reached more than 20 copies.

She is the worst one.

She has sales, and she also has popularity.

However, after her album was released, she failed to win a championship.

It made her so angry that she almost drew circles and cursed Chen Qiming.

Zhou Huimin: "Bah! He even said he liked me, but he didn't know how to let me go, you scumbag!"

……

Just when "Fairy Tale" competed fiercely with Zhang Yusheng's "Ocean" and Gao Shengmei's "Waiting for a Thousand Years" on the charts, and when "Legend of the White Snake" was broadcast and Chen Qiming appeared on the stage, which aroused heated discussions among the audience, Chen Qiming He stopped his various activities and rushed to Hong Kong.

The company arranged a play for him.

This film is also invested and produced by Changhong Film and Television, which was established by Wu Dun.

However, compared to the "Play Back To School" that Chen Qiming starred in before, this film has a much larger cast and investment.

In order to make this film a success, Changhong spent a lot of money and directly invited Tony Leung, Michelle Yeoh, and Wang Zuxian to join.

Of course, there is also Chen Qiming.

Because Chen Qiming's popularity is so hot, Changhong had invited him before that, wanting him to star in another movie "Neur Knife and Flying Cat" produced by Changhong.

But because Chen Qiming was busy attending various events and running promotions at the time, he was rejected by Fulong.

When the time came to December, seeing that Chen Qiming's popularity did not diminish, he continued to compete with Zhang Yusheng and Gao Shengmei on the major rankings.

Changhong Film and Television invited Chen Qiming again without giving up.

Let him star in this Lunar New Year movie that he cooperated with Yonggao Cinemas.

Yonggao Cinemas is currently the fourth largest cinema in Hong Kong.

It is a theater chain established by the famous Hong Kong filmmaker Huang Baiming and Luo Jie, an outsider, at the end of last year.

At that time, the movie that made the reputation of the theater was the movie "A Happy Event" starring Leslie Cheung, Stephen Chow, Huang Baiming and others.

The great success of "Happy Family" made Winggo Cinemas officially rank among the top four cinemas in Hong Kong.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. In the second half of this year, Huang Baiming and Luo Jie had conflicts, which caused Huang Baiming's Yonggao Film Company to withdraw from Yonggao Cinemas and set up a new movie theater called Oriental Cinemas.

After Huang Baiming left, Yonggao Cinemas no longer had a fixed co-producer. In the end, they could only choose to cooperate with Changhong Film and Television from Baodao.

After discussions between the two parties, the film "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" adapted from Gu Long's novel "Meteor Butterfly Sword" was officially approved.

According to the original plan, Changhong planned to invite Donnie Yen to play the role of Chen Qiming.

After all, this is a costume martial arts movie.

And Donnie Yen has received a lot of praise in the field of Hong Kong action by virtue of the role of Na Lanshu in "Once Upon a Time in Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" and the Duke in "New Dragon Inn" in the first half of the year.

Having him in the role can add a lot to the movie.

However, after Changhong weighed popularity and professionalism, professionalism eventually lost to popularity.

This role was taken by Chen Qiming, an action novice.

Hong Kong.

Chen Qiming didn't delay after arriving here, and went straight to the filming location of the crew.

This film will be released during the Lunar New Year, so the shooting cycle will be very short.

When Chen Qiming arrived at the crew, the crew had already started filming.

The scenes of Meng Xinghun played by Tony Leung and Die Er played by Joey Wang are being filmed. .

There are many people around the filming location.

"I will take you to report to the director first. The film shooting cycle is short, and you may have to devote yourself to shooting after you join the group."

Seeing Chen Qiming looking over there curiously, Zhu Yanping, who brought Chen Qiming to the crew, said.

Zhu Yanping is not the director of this film, but served as a producer.

The director of this play is McDonald, who has directed "Hong Kong Provincial Flag Soldiers".

Um!He also has a relatively well-known play called "The Treasure of the Jade Fu Tuan's Secret Love", a very good-looking action play...

Chen Qiming and Zhu Yanping found McDangjie behind the filming machine of the crew.

He is instructing Lin Zhiying, another idol in the play, how to film.

Jimmy Lin also starred in this movie, but it was just a cameo. He didn't have many roles as Emperor Jia. Maybe he planned to finish the filming early and wrap it up early, so he came two days earlier than Chen Qiming.

"Director Mai, this is Chen Qiming, who plays Ye Xiang."

Zhu Yanping didn't wait for McDangjie to finish speaking to Lin Zhiying, but said directly.

He is very busy. After Chen Qiming is assigned to the film crew, he has to rush back to the company to do the post-production of "Neur Knife and Flying Cat".

The lineup of that movie was also huge, including Tony Leung Ka Fai, Jacky Cheung, Zhang Min, Jimmy Lin and others.

And because he imitated "East Becomes West", he still attaches great importance to that play, hoping to achieve a good result.

"Chen Qiming, hello! I often listen to your songs, I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"

Hearing Zhu Yanping's voice, Mai Dangjie turned around, looked at Chen Qiming carefully, and then spoke.

He is not from Baodao.

They don't pay as much attention to Chen Qiming, the top idol of Baodao, as Zhu Yanping and the others do.

Before, he was very opposed to letting Chen Qiming replace Donnie Yen in the role of Ye Xiang.

But with his small arms and legs, he couldn't beat the producer at all. In the end, he could only choose to compromise.

But it was also because of this that he didn't like Chen Qiming too much.

His tone of voice was a little cold.

"It's a pleasure to meet Director Mai, and I hope to have a happy cooperation."

Chen Qiming smiled and didn't care about the other party's tone.

Everyone has their own preferences, and he can't influence others to like himself.

The only thing he can do in this crew is to do his job well.

Although it might be a bit difficult.

But isn't this a kind of exercise?

"Go and change your costume first! There will be your play tonight."

McDangjie said something, and then turned to Lin Zhiying to continue talking about the play.

"you go first!"

Zhu Yanping couldn't help frowning at Mai Dangjie's actions.

It took Chen Qiming a lot of effort to invite him, and he was expected to contribute to the movie's box office in Baodao.

McDangjie's current attitude made him very worried about the next filming.

But let's not say that Chen Qiming was taken away by the director before the filming was over. If this is the case, how will he explain to the boss above.

Therefore, after Chen Qiming went to change clothes with the staff, he immediately called Mai Dangjie aside.

"I know you are dissatisfied that I didn't listen to your opinion and asked Donnie Yen to play this role.

But the matter is a foregone conclusion. I don't want you to treat Chen Qiming differently because of this matter. Do you understand me? "

What did Zhu Yanping do before?
He was on the road.

On the one-acre-three-point land in Baodao, he can be regarded as a man of integrity.

So speak very directly.

After a pause, he continued: "You really only need to think about getting paid and leaving after the film is finished, but we are different, the market for our film is not only Hong Kong, Taiwan is also an important market for our company.

As for Chen Qiming, his popularity in Taiwan is unimaginable, even in Hong Kong, his popularity is as good.

So, hope you can understand! "

Hearing this, McDangjie was silent for a while, and nodded, "Don't worry, I understand!"

The producer has spoken, he can only accept what McDangjie can do.

Even, he has to implement it seriously.

After all, there are many directors in Hong Kong who can make movies, and there are many who can replace him.

If someone accidentally angered the producer, he might be fired.

This is not impossible, you must know that the producer is the capital of Baodao, and it is common sense that the fellows protect the fellows.
