Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 147 Asian Superstar Chen Qiming Arrives

On the afternoon of November 1993, [-], Chen Qiming's plane landed in Tokyo, Japan.

As soon as he appeared outside the airport passageway, he was immediately cheered enthusiastically by hundreds of Japanese fans present.

Compared with the low-key when I came to Japan to shoot the MV and post-production of the album before.

This time, both Furlong and Johnny & Associates made a high-profile statement.

In order to warm up the debut song that will hit the charts tomorrow, two days ago, Johnny's & Associates announced on major media that Chen Qiming came to Japan today and brought his first Japanese album "Chen Qiming".

As the sales champion of the Chinese music scene for two consecutive years.

Chen Qiming's previous "Fairy Tale" and "The Heart Is Too Soft" are already quite popular in Japan.

Coupled with the fact that he is very handsome, and Johnny & Associates' constant publicity during this period.

This makes Chen Qiming very popular in Japan.

Generally speaking, Chen Qiming's popularity in Japan may not be comparable to that of Japan's local big-name singers.

But with the support of the Asian King and the sales of his first two Mandarin albums in Japan, he is definitely one of the most popular Hong Kong and Taiwan singers in Japan.

Last month, the Japanese media selected a list of the most popular artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In this list, Chen Qiming ranks fourth on the list after Jackie Chan, Teresa Teng, and Alan Tam.

Even Leslie Cheung, who was once popular in Asia, is behind him.

Why did Johnny & Associates take the initiative to contact Chen Qiming, and even Yanyin and other companies came to contact him frequently?
The reason is here.

With the blessing of the title of King of Chinese Music, coupled with Chen Qiming's popularity in Japan, these Japanese firms saw his potential.

That's why Johnny & Associates chose to win Chen Qiming's brokerage agency rights and promote him without expecting anything in return.

"Oni-chan, ahhh..."

"Chen Qiming, I like you so much..."

"Ahhh! I want an autograph, I want a group photo..."

Outside the airport, hundreds of fans gathered, screaming one after another, attracting a large number of tourists and passengers.

"Who is that? Is it Michael Jackson? A lot of fans!"

Someone didn't know the situation at the scene, so he turned around and asked a friend next to him.

"Chen Qiming, a singer from Taiwan, is said to be very talented."

The friend next to him glanced at the posters held by the fans and said.

"Is he red?"

"It's not bad! His debut magazine is said to be very popular among young people, especially girls."

……

"Thank you very much for the pick-up, my Japanese debut song "The Treasure of the Ryukyu People" will be officially recorded on major radio stations tomorrow.

The album "Chen Qiming" will also be released on the [-]th, please support! "

In the crowd, Chen Qiming signed autographs for these fans, and at the same time called on them to support his record.

Like Hong Kong and Taiwan, Chen Qiming's Japanese fans are mostly girls.

Even, to a certain extent, almost all of his fan base in Japan are girls.

The reason for this is not only his appearance, but also the Japanese environment.

Since the 80s, the Japanese entertainment industry has entered a state of prosperity and decline.

Starting from Momoe Yamaguchi, to the four major singers including Akina Nakamori.

Throughout Japan, almost all the top artists are women.

There are also men, like Johnny's Junior Team, SMAP, and Kondo before.

But generally speaking, there are really very few male singers in the Japanese entertainment industry who are fighting.

And as we all know, same-sex repulsion.

Male fans generally don't like male singers, but female singers.

In the same way, women are the same, they will not like female singers, but only male singers.

Under such circumstances, when there are very few high-quality male singers in Japan, Chen Qiming, who is handsome, young, and talented, was immediately liked by these female fans.

Well, let's just say it!Among the hundreds of female fans present, some may have become fans of Chen Qiming because they thought his songs were good, but such fans are definitely very few.

Most of the fans are still the kind of color control.

They knew about Chen Qiming from MVs, magazines, or some news from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then they were attracted by his appearance and became his fans.

Chen Qiming didn't stay at the airport for too long. After signing autographs for the fans, he got in the car picked up by Johnny's office and rushed straight to Johnny's office.

Under the publicity of Warner Records and Johnny's & Associates, the news that Chen Qiming came to Japan and will sing the title of his new album for the first time on tomorrow's "Music Station" program was exposed by the media in a very short time.

Since Chen Qiming joined Johnny & Associates, he has been receiving a lot of attention from the Japanese media.

Just like the Hong Kong and Taiwan media all want to see if Chen Qiming can open up the Japanese market.

The Japanese media are also very curious about whether Chen Qiming can become the third person to enter the Japanese market after Teresa Teng and Alan Tam, and want to see what kind of results he can achieve.

So, that afternoon, the major evening newspapers began to publicize the incident.

"Can the King of China Be Recognized by Japanese Fans? "

"The Japanese First Sing by Genius Creator Chen Qiming"

"Asian Superstar Chen Qiming Arrives"

Some of these reports are spontaneous, but there are also many masterpieces from Warner Records and Johnny & Associates.

These two companies have strong strengths in Japan, and once they made a move, they shocked the entire Japanese entertainment circle.

Under the publicity of a large number of newspapers and magazines.

Countless Japanese fans began to look forward to the next day's "Music Station" program.

As the world's second largest record market, Asia's music center.

Japan is not like Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the most important place for singers to promote their albums is radio broadcasting. When singers release albums, they put their songs on the radio for chart promotion.

The main reason for this is the strength of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, a singer can make his debut after a few months of training at most. Many singers can't even recognize the pitch and completely rely on equipment for tuning.

Therefore, in order to avoid singers making mistakes in singing, the company usually chooses to send the pre-recorded tapes to radio broadcasts for playback.

In this way, it is possible to avoid mistakes in the singer's live ranking.

In Japan, not to mention only a few months of training, even a few years may not be able to make a debut.

Here, if a singer wants to make his debut, he basically has to go through brutal training, ranging from one or two years to three or four years.

Many singers basically start training at the age of twelve or thirteen, and then make their debut in their twenties.

It is this kind of harsh and cruel training that makes Japanese singers absolutely capable of playing whenever they make their debut.

If you can play, you don't have to worry about making mistakes on the spot.

Therefore, the first choice for Japanese singers to hit the charts is TV programs, commonly known as hit songs.

And because of the prosperity of the record market in Japan, many hit song programs were born.

These programs are broadcast every Monday, and singers who have debuted or released new albums are invited to sing songs on stage.

In this way, the audience can also see your people and hear your songs, which has a great effect on publicity.

Well, Hong Kong TVB's "Golden Songs" is an imitated Japanese hit song program.

It's just that the rules have changed. Japanese song playing programs do not prohibit newcomers from singing for the first time here.

As for "Golden Songs", generally only singers who are on their list can come to the show...

The "Music Station" show that Chen Qiming will be on is currently one of the largest show in Japan.

It and the other two hit song programs in Japan are called the three largest hit song programs in Japan.

Compared with the other two programs, they will spoof and play the program effect.

"Music Station" is very formal, and this program is more formal.

It mainly revolves around music.

There may be interviews in the middle, but they are all music-related questions.

Moreover, the "Music Station" program also has its own list.

And has a good influence in Japan.

Under the anticipation of countless Japanese fans, the second day will come soon.
