Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 134 The Hong Kong music scene is surging, and the filmmakers of Taiwan are forcing the palace
"Don't be like this"

"Hovering in the Eyes"

"You'll realize I'm so lonely"

In the car, Andy Lau's distinctive voice came from the radio.

Chen Qiming was flipping through the newspapers in Hong Kong during this time.

He hasn't paid much attention to the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan since the beginning of his concert tour.

This time I will stay for a few months when I come back this time, so I need to understand some news during this time.

"Liming's Cantonese version of fairy tales has a unique flavor, not inferior to the original Chen Qiming"

"Jacky Cheung's new song is popular all over Hong Kong with you along the way"

"Four heavenly kings face off for the first time, the battle is tense and the outcome is deadlocked"

"Aaron Kwok's new album pulls hips, fans propose to kick out the four kings"

"The American blockbuster Jurassic Park swept the world, and Zhou Xingchi lost to Jigong"

"Jigong Baodao failed at the box office, and Baodao filmmakers collectively forced Hong Kong to lower the price of the film"

"Taiwan Filmmakers Are Paper Tigers, Hong Kong Filmmakers Decided to Suspend Film Delivery to Taiwan"

……

Chen Qiming read each report with gusto, as if watching a serial drama.

The middle of this year is definitely a period of time when there are a lot of breaking news.

First, the accidental death of Huang Jiaju caused a lot of noise in the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan regions.

Subsequently, the four kings of Hong Kong rarely crashed in the past few months.

Liming's "Summer Love".

"The Answer Is You" by Andy Lau

"Legend, Me and You" by Jacky Cheung

"Without Your Love" by Aaron Kwok

All four albums were released during this time.

In addition to the main title of the same name, Liming's "Summer Love" also has adaptations of Chen Qiming's "I Have You" and "Fairy Tale".

Many golden songs are all gathered in one album, which made his album's reputation and sales explode.

And his opponent Andy Lau's albums include "Secretly Obsessed" and "Happy Monkey".

Jacky Cheung led the record with the song "I Just Want to Follow You Forever".

The three of them fought in the dark in the record market during the summer vacation.

In the end, because the sales figures of the three were similar, the competition ended in a draw.

As for Aaron Kwok...

Aaron Kwok this year is very cool.

No, since Aaron Kwok joined Huaxing Records, Aaron Kwok has been very hip.

If it weren't for the flying saucer making Mandarin records for him to continue his life, he might not even know where he is now.

Because of his own inadequacy in the Cantonese record market, many paper media have proposed that he be kicked out of the ranks of the four heavenly kings.

Under the pressure of public opinion, some newspapers said that Aaron Kwok seemed to intend to transfer his Cantonese record contract to Warner.

Chen Qiming didn't know whether it was true or not, but he felt it was possible.

Over the past few years, Huaxing Records has really declined.

Even Anita Mui had conflicts with Huaxing Records, and brought her disciple Grasshopper to set up her own company.

In terms of newcomers, although Huaxing is known as the talent pool of the Hong Kong music scene, Huaxing will not use them at all.

At present, Huaxing's singers are Aaron Kwok, Xu Zhian, Liang Hanwen and Zheng Xiuwen.

But Huaxing has never found a way to use them.

As a result, except for Aaron Kwok's previous popularity support, the other three are still at the second-tier level so far.

They don’t know how to operate, so they rely on TVB to promote them every day. Although this is an advantage that other companies do not have, if there are no good songs, no amount of promotion will be in vain.

Therefore, it's no wonder that Aaron Kwok didn't run away.

However, Chen Qiming was not too concerned about the above news.

What he is more concerned about is the matter that Taiwan filmmakers forced Hong Kong producers to lower the production price.

Focusing on the news in this area, Chen Qiming roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

After all, I still blame Wang Yingxiang for being too greedy and unable to understand the trend.

As we all know, Stephen Chow's movies created the comedy method of nonsensical.

It is this type of performance that makes his films popular with young audiences.

This can be seen from the fact that Zhou Xingchi's blockbuster movies in recent years are always in the summer vacation.

And what do young people watch Stephen Chow movies for?Nothing more than to have fun.

But this "Jigong"...

The director of this film is To Qifeng.

Don't look at the director Johnnie To, his movies seem to be selling well in the past few years.

But he always likes to add some things that young people don't understand in the movie.

"Death Judge" is okay, it is a combination of cases and nonsense, and most audiences can understand it.

As for "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" in the first half of the year, although Johnnie To was the director of this film at the beginning, he didn't shoot for long, so he handed over the film to Li Lichi to direct, with Zhou Xingchi as the assistant.

Therefore, for the audience, these films can clearly understand what they are talking about.

But "Jigong" is different.

Although the style of this film is also nonsensical, Johnnie To has added various complicated philosophical issues in it, which belongs to the combination of philosophy and nonsense.

philosophy!

You teach philosophy to young people.

That's equivalent to the child's father holding a cane to teach his rebellious son a lesson, saying that you should study hard.

The starting point is good, but it is not certain whether you can understand what you mean.

Of course, in Chen Qiming's view, Wang Yingxiang's unwiseness is not because he doesn't know the style of the movie and buys it randomly.

The most important thing is that he doesn't watch the types of movies of the same period.

Who is the movie "Jigong" is facing?

That was a blockbuster film that grossed nearly [-] million U.S. dollars at the box office in the United States.

After the film was screened in various Asian countries, it almost reached the top of the box office charts in various places with a crushing attitude.

Wang Yingxiang actually used this movie to collide with "Jurassic Park". It is conceivable that if he doesn't rush, whoever will.

However, complaints are complaints, since this has already happened, it is useless to judge now.

What Chen Qiming needs to consider now is whether this time Baodao filmmakers collectively forced Hong Kong producers, and at the same time, Hong Kong chose to directly suspend the supply of films to Baodao. Will this affect him.

You know, he invested 400 million Hong Kong dollars in "New Love".

According to the usual practice, generally speaking, unless the Hong Kong box office is a big hit in Hong Kong, otherwise, the box office here in Hong Kong can only recover the cost at most.

It is even difficult for many movies to recover their costs at the box office in Hong Kong.

If there is no Baodao, the backup warehouse of Hong Kong movies, then Hong Kong movies will continue to make money, it will be very difficult...

Of course, Chen Qiming also knows that no matter whether the final result is the surrender of Taiwan or Hong Kong.

This matter will definitely have a result.

But this result is related to the income of Chen Qiming's movie.

"arrive!"

There was no time for Chen Qiming to think too much, the car had already arrived at the hotel.

Looking up at the hotel, Chen Qiming felt helpless.

Every time he comes to Hong Kong, he stays in this hotel.

Coming back now, he actually felt like he was at home.

"You need to rest early tonight, we have an endorsement event tomorrow morning.

At noon, I went to the crew of "Green Snake".

We have already communicated with the directors of both sides about your travels between "Green Snake" and "New Love".

At that time, you may be in "Green Snake" in the morning, and film "New Love" in the afternoon..."

While entering the hotel, Li Xiaowen told Chen Qiming about the itinerary for the next few days.

The role of the assistant is just like this, acting as a position responsible for the artist's daily life, and even reminding the artist of his work.

"OK, go get busy first! I have something to contact you!"

When he came to the room, Chen Qiming said.

Hearing this, Li Xiaowen couldn't help looking at him with strange eyes.

"What are you thinking? I'm going out to find my mother, she is in Hong Kong, and I asked her to set up a clothing company!!"

Seeing her eyes, Chen Qiming was instantly furious.

He was really going to find Huang Xiaomei.

The last time she was asked to come to Hong Kong to set up a clothing company has almost been settled, and the factory in Shanghai is almost set up now.

Next, it was time for Chen Qiming to go out and personally design a piece of clothing to make his clothing company famous. .
