Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 107 The Collision of Prelude
PS: (The previous chapter about the sound of the waves is still wrong, this song is not an adaptation, late autumn is another song, it has been corrected)

In February, the music scene in Hong Kong and Taiwan was somewhat calm.

Except for Chen Qiming's "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream" created by Bao Qingtian and sung by Huang An, which caused a wave of enthusiasm, only Chen Qiming's "Legend of Hungry Wolf" and "Kiss Everywhere" caused some waves. All the Love Is Left to You" caught the attention of some fans.

Speaking of Aaron Kwok.

I have to mention one thing. Last year, Aaron Kwok rejected Fulong's agent contract renewal.

Originally, Fulong planned to ban him on Treasure Island.

But I don't know what consensus Aaron Kwok reached with UFO, and actually let UFO act as a lobbyist to intercede for him.

It is also because of this that after leaving Fulong, he can still maintain his popularity in Treasure Island.

Just like this "Leave All My Love to You", in terms of popularity, the songs on this album are actually not very good.

But relying on the promotion of the flying saucer and Aaron Kwok's own popularity, after the release of this album, it quickly won the top spot in the sales list of Taiwan with a sales volume of [-] copies.

And when the Hong Kong and Taiwan areas seemed a little calm.

The mainland is not so peaceful, and Mao Ning's song "The Sound of the Waves Is Still" went crazy.

Whether it is other mainland singers or songs imported from Hong Kong and Taiwan, there is no song that is the enemy of "The Sound of the Waves Are Still".

With this song, Mao Ning directly became the most popular singer in the mainland.

Even with this song, Mao Ning once extended his tentacles to Hong Kong, Baodao and other places.

Even Chen Qiming asked someone from Hong Kong to bring him a piece of Mao Ning's "Please Let My Emotions Stay By Your Side" while recording the song.

Although he had already heard this song from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala played by CTV on the Spring Festival, Chen Qiming had to admit that this song was really good.

The lyrics are adapted from the famous ancient poem "Night Mooring at the Maple Bridge", coupled with a moving melody, it is very artistic.

"Hahaha! March is so lively!"

In the lounge prepared by the company for Chen Qiming, Chen Qiming was listening to the tape when suddenly laughter came from outside the door.

Later, Chen Xiunan and Liu Ciwei walked in, and Chen Xiunan laughed while reading the newspaper.

After entering, he put the newspaper he had read in front of Chen Qiming, and said with a smile: "It seems that Jacky Cheung may not be the only opponent you have!"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming picked up the newspaper.

"Heavenly Kings in Chaos, Who Will Laugh Proudly to the End".

The title is very attractive, and people want to continue to read the content after reading the title.

The same is true for Chen Qiming. He carefully read the content of the report.

"Since Jacky Cheung and Chen Qiming announced that they will release a new album in March, Nicky Wu and Andy Lau have announced that they will release an album in March.

March, this is destined to be a death schedule for the Heavenly King Chaos..."

"This will definitely be an opportunity for you, the more opponents you have, the stronger you are, the more you can defeat them, the more you can show your strength!

If you can defeat these guys this time, even if you call yourself No. 1 in the Chinese music scene, no one will dare to refute it. "

Chen Xiunan said with a smile.

"It's not that easy!" Chen Qiming said softly.

"What? You're still not confident about your album?" Hearing what Chen Qiming said, Chen Xiunan couldn't help being surprised.

Chen Qiming didn't speak.

In 1993, the music scene this year was not that simple.

A few days ago, he read a report in his dream instead of the person in the dream.

According to that report, this year, Jacky Cheung will release an album called "Kiss Goodbye". This album sold more than 1993 million copies in 450 alone.

And this is Jacky Cheung.

According to reports, in April, Rolling Stone Zhou Huajian will come out with a piece called "Flower Heart".

This album achieved sales of nearly 93 million in 500, becoming the sales champion of the year.

It is also because of this album that Zhou Huajian was awarded the title of Tianwang Killer.

Facing these two albums, to be honest, Chen Qiming is not sure whether his album can beat them.

However, there is one thing he can be sure of.

That is, the songs on his record are definitely not weak.

Among other things, the song "The Past Follows the Wind" was the best Chinese song in the top 1995 in 20.

Then, "The Heart is Too Soft", after this song was released in 1997, it seems to have become the most popular song in those years.

And then, "Thousand Paper Cranes", which is one of the most popular songs in 1994 according to the description of the message in the dream.

These three songs, plus five other very powerful songs that were displayed in the dream message, he didn't believe that he would really be inferior to these two guys.

Moreover, even if a single song can't do it, is it possible that he can't compare with so many songs in this album?

"It's useless to say anything now, let's talk about it after the album sales come out!"

Chen Qiming said something, then got up directly.

He's on fire.

It doesn't matter whether he is the king of heaven or the king of heaven's killer, let's talk about it after he has done it.

Now, now the main thing is to get the record done.

Stimulated by the news, Chen Qiming plunged into the recording studio, recording songs or helping arrange music every day.

During this period, the outside world has already started arguing.

After Andy Lau and Nicky Wu successively announced that they would release their albums in March, the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan immediately became enthusiastic.

"Hong Kong Two Kings VS Taiwan Two Idol Kings"

"The ultimate confrontation, the two idol kings of Taiwan will face the four kings of Hong Kong"

"Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung join forces"

"Brothers are of the same heart, their profit breaks gold, Chen Qiming's partner Nicky Wu vs. Jacky Cheung Andy Lau"

All kinds of news about the four-person duel began to fly all over the sky, turning this duel into a decisive battle between Taiwan singers and Hong Kong singers for the status of the music scene.

This kind of exaggeration by the media really raised the suspense of this duel.

But at the same time, the relationship between the fans of the four began to become delicate due to the media's conflicting reports.

Fans Fans are a very easily provoked group.

In the late 80s, the dispute between Tan and Zhang was too fierce because of the media hype, which led to fans of Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung opposing each other
And this incident also happened to Chen Qiming and the others.

The cause of this incident is not an exaggeration, just because of a poster.

It is said that when a fan of Andy Lau was sharing her treasured Andy Lau poster with her classmates, the poster was accidentally broken by a passing classmate.

Unfortunately, the passing classmate was Chen Qiming's fan.

At that time in the school, there were two fan camps, one was the Ming Long Fan Club formed by fans of Chen Qiming and Wu Qilong, and the other was the Hua You Fan Club formed by Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung.

The two sides are arguing about who is the most powerful idol of the two sides.

Therefore, when the poster of Andy Lau's fan was damaged, she thought that Chen Qiming's fan did it on purpose.

But Chen Qiming's fan naturally disagreed.

And when the relationship between the fans of the two parties gradually deteriorated, on February 25, Polygram released the first hit song of Jacky Cheung's new album "With You Along the Way".

Needless to say, Jacky Cheung's song adapted from "It's Always a Rainy Day to Break Up" is indeed of high quality.

In just two days, the song directly climbed to the top of the major song charts.

"The Might of the King, Jacky Cheung Reached the Top Championship in Two Days".

As soon as Jacky Cheung's song became the champion, the media in Hong Kong immediately started bragging about it.

"How should Chen Qiming deal with Xueyou's card?"

A music critic in Hong Kong even publicly clamored directly in a TV interview on TVB.

"It's so nice, it's the sound of nature!"

Some people directly described "With You Along the Way" in newspapers.

Faced with all kinds of provocations from the Hong Kong media, the Baodao media who supported Chen Qiming were so angry that they wanted to curse, but they couldn't find where to start.

Therefore, they could only endure it, and then turned their attention to Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming did not let them down. On the 28th, Chen Qiming's new album "The Heart Is Too Soft" finally released a hit song.

Not one, but two.

One is "The Past Follows the Wind" and the other is "Love is Simple".

The two songs were sent to the radio station, and after the radio host played them to promote them, they immediately started working hard.

After the time came to the end of February, there are currently no big hit songs on the major charts of Baodao.

There is only one theme song "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream" composed by Chen Qiming and sung by Huang An.

Others, such as Aaron Kwok's "Leave All My Love to You" occupy the top of the list, but the popularity is not too strong.

Therefore, as soon as "The Past Follows the Wind" and "Love Is Simple" were on the list, they immediately rushed up like a rocket, and climbed to the second and third positions in just one day, staring at "Along the Way". you".

"I bet [-] cents, tomorrow "With You on the Road" will be spanked and pressed down!"

Times Weekly's most famous Ming Chuai Jiuai Qiming said so the next morning.

These words really aroused hatred, which immediately aroused Xueyou Chuan's rebuttal. That afternoon, they began to refute and scold him in the evening papers of their respective newspapers.

Afterwards, the two waves of people began to scold each other in the newspapers, raising the enthusiasm for Chen Qiming's confrontation with Jacky Cheung to a new level.

……

Fuxin Middle School, the end of school time.

While other students were galloping home on bicycles, a group of 30 people was having a meeting on the lawn to the east of the school.

I saw that standing in the front was a girl with a ponytail and a baby face. She had her waist tucked in and looked like a big sister.

"Sisters! Mingming's song hit the charts, it's time for our Qiming Society to make contributions.

Let's set a small goal. Each person will make five phone calls to the radio station tonight. Can everyone do it? "

"can!"

"Sister Xiaorui, my father runs a company, and his company has a lot of calls, and I can order at least ten times.

If I order so much, can you give me a photo with no clothes on? "

"I want it too, I want it too. My dad has a lot of friends who run taxis. As long as you agree, Miss Xiaorui, I'll ask my dad to order songs for me!"

"And me, and me, my father is the hall master, he has many younger brothers, they all like me very much, I can ask them to help!"

……

"Stop, stop..."

Hearing that these guys asked for a picture of her brother without clothes, Chen Qirui's face turned dark immediately, and she said loudly with her waist in her hands:

"I've said it all, Mingming and I are only a little relative, how could I get a photo of him without clothes on.

However, I can get the signed handsome photo, do you want it? "

"But you were sent here when you transferred here! You are not a sibling, how could he send you here!" Someone obviously didn't believe what Chen Qirui said.

"Believe it or not, it's fine if you don't want autographed photos, some people do."

Chen Qirui pouted and said.

"Then sign the photo, it's agreed, you must give it to me this semester..."

"Me too, but can I sign the photo I like?"

"I……"

……

【Your shadow is everywhere】

【People's mind is like a speck of dust】

【Falling in the past, drifting to the future】

[tears fall into eyes]

……

【Let the past go with the wind, everything with the wind, everything with the wind】

【My heart moves with you】

……

Baodao Polygram branch.

Zhang Xueyou sat on the sofa with Chen Meiwei, the general manager of the branch, and Chen Shufen, the agent.

In front of the three of them was a tape recorder, which was playing Chen Qiming's "The Past Follows the Wind".

Just like the song in the lyrics, Chen Qiming's voice moves from time to time, giving people the feeling that his voice is moving with the wind.

click!
Jacky Cheung turned off the tape recorder and looked at Chen Meiwei.

This person is not only the manager of Polygram Branch of Formosa, but also a producer and creator himself.

When Baodao Polygram was still Qifei Records, he held an important position here and produced records for many singers. He even supervised the production of the records of the famous singer Tong Ange in Baodao.

Therefore, Jacky Cheung attaches great importance to his evaluation of this song.

"How should I put it! It can be seen that UFO has put a lot of effort into this album.

This method of processing the sound from time to time requires strong production skills and expensive production equipment.

Let's talk about the song..."

After a moment of silence, Chen Meiwei said: "Chen Qiming is worthy of being one of the rare creative geniuses in Taiwan in recent years. This song has reached a certain level regardless of the tune and lyrics.

In terms of popularity..."

After another moment of silence, he said: "I can't represent the public, but in my personal feeling, this song may be better than your song "With You Along the Way".

Of course, it doesn't mean that there is a difference in the quality of the two songs, mainly because your song is an adaptation of the previous song.

In terms of freshness, it is definitely not as good as Chen Qiming's song. "

"You said so much, you probably just want to say, I may really be dethroned from the championship position tomorrow, right?" Jacky Cheung said.

"Not necessarily. After all, you were on the list two days ago. The on-demand data is not something he can catch up with in a short time, but I estimate that within three or four days at most, you may be knocked off."

Chen Meiwei said, reaching out to turn on the tape recorder, "I heard that his other song is also good, listen to it."

After he finished speaking, the song just started playing on the tape recorder.

First there is a piece of piano playing.

[forgot how to start]

【Maybe it's for you】

【There is a feeling】

【Suddenly find myself】

【I have fallen in love with you deeply】

……

Listening to this song, Chen Meiwei frowned.

Not only him, but even Jacky Cheung himself frowned.

This style...

Obviously, this style of music is very similar to Chen Qiming's first album, but it is ahead of the songs in that album.

This song is obviously closer to the mainstream.

Although there are still traces of R&

"This song doesn't seem to be written by Chen Qiming!"

Chen Meiwei finally spoke.

"The author of this song is imitating Chen Qiming's style!" Jacky Cheung also said.

"No, it's not imitation, but Chen Qiming has brought a new genre!"

With that said, Chen Meiwei and Jacky Cheung looked at each other, their eyes were a bit complicated.

What an honor to start a new genre!

Better than a million-selling record.

"This song should also be very popular, but how popular it is depends on the fans' feedback."

Chen Meiwei said, looking at Jacky Cheung, "If you are squeezed out of the championship position, I will immediately release the next song.

If you win the championship, you will not continue to play other songs for the time being.

If the next song doesn't win the championship, I will continue until your song wins the championship, or the day the album is released. "

"In terms of publicity, you have the final say. If you have any requests, just ask, and I will cooperate."

Jacky Cheung looked at the tape recorder, and there seemed to be a fighting spirit in his eyes.
