Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 148 Is Hong Kong and Taiwan music going to rise?
Tokyo in November has begun to cool down.

In the morning, Chen Qiming practiced for several hours in Johnny's office with the accompaniment group that Johnny arranged for him.

In the afternoon, including his team, a group of more than a dozen people rushed to TV Asahi, Japan, where "Music Station" was recorded.

Since it was the first time to attend a Japanese music show, Chen Qiming was not very familiar with the situation here.

So, Johnny's President Kitagawa personally followed.

Along the way, he told Chen Qiming a lot about the program, including some basic information about the host.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at TV Asahi.

Kitagawa was very familiar with this place, and as soon as he got out of the car, he led Chen Qiming to the inside of the TV station. From time to time, if he met a senior executive of the TV station, he would stop and introduce Chen Qiming to them.

After seeing Kitagawa and Chen Qiming, many people passing by would stop to say hello.

Then he began to look at Chen Qiming with curious eyes.

When Johnny was promoting Chen Qiming, he shouted very loudly.

While emphasizing his status as the king of the Chinese music scene, he also boasted that he would make Chen Qiming a top idol singer in Japan.

top idol.

This is not so easy to do in Japan.

If Chen Qiming, a Chinese, wants to do this, the difficulty will undoubtedly be even greater.

But the strength of Johnny & Associates lies there.

Over the years, Johnny & Associates has launched many top idols.

Now that Johnny dares to make such a publicity, it naturally shows that Chen Qiming has the ability to be worthy of such publicity by Johnny.

Therefore, many passing artists were very curious about Chen Qiming.

Walking all the way, soon, a group of people came to the backstage of the recording.

At this time, there were already several artists who were also playing songs today waiting in the background.

As soon as Chen Qiming came in, everyone's eyes were on him.

There was curiosity, fighting spirit, and fear in his eyes.

"Music Station" is a song playing program.

As for playing songs, there will naturally be competition.

The rules of "Music Station" are very simple. Singers take turns to sing, and then the judges and audience will judge the stage, singing and the song itself.

The selected ranking list will be published in the form of a magazine.

And, sometimes, the champion will appear on the stage again in the second week, and continue to compete with the later singers.

And with the attention of "Music Station" in Japan, it won the championship here, and the degree of promotion of the song can be imagined.

Therefore, it can be said that almost all the singers present today are competitors.

As a competitor, Chen Qiming is definitely the most powerful in this issue of "Music Station".

The name of the King of Chinese, coupled with the promotion of Johnny & Associates and Warner Records, made him naturally receive a lot of attention.

Therefore, naturally, he became the biggest opponent and target of others.

Along with Kitagawa, I got to know these singers for a while, and then Chen Qiming was directly taken into the changing room by the staff and began to change clothes.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the song playing program officially started.

I don't know if it was intentional or just luck, but Chen Qiming was the first to appear.

Holding the microphone, Chen Qiming didn't feel any nervousness, and walked onto the stage directly.

Although today is the first time he has appeared on a Japanese song playing program.

But in China, he has been on too many similar music shows.

He has been on Taiwan's "Dragon and Tiger Golden Melody Chart", Hong Kong's "Golden Songs", Singapore's "Popular Chart" and so on.

Not to mention, he has held concerts with tens of thousands of people, so he can't get nervous at all in the face of today's scene.

"Hello! Hello Japanese fans, I am Chen Qiming, from China!

I hope my singing can be liked by everyone! "

After taking the stage, Chen Qiming greeted the audience first.

There are quite a lot of viewers present today, and the entire studio of TV Asahi is basically full of people.

Chen Qiming even saw fans holding his posters in it.

Only relatively speaking, there are fewer people.

"Chen Sang, we heard that you wrote the Japanese song you brought us today. Can you tell me what the name of this song is? How did you create it?"

Before the concert begins, the singer will generally have some interaction with the host.

Chen Qiming is no exception.

"The song is called "The Treasure of the Ryukyu People". It was created by me based on some folk culture of Ryukyu..."

Before Chen Qiming finished speaking, the host interrupted him, "Are you talking about Okinawa? Chen Sang, you are a Chinese, but you actually write about Japan. You know Japan..."

Chen Qiming was quite upset about the host's interruption and his remarks, and interrupted him directly: "I'm sorry, the Ryukyu I mentioned is not Okinawa, but our Chinese Ryukyu Island!"

As he said that, he couldn't help looking at the host, "Sir, you haven't seen the map, have you?"

Hearing this, the host was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly ended the topic, "Okay! Then let's enjoy "The Treasure of the Ryukyu People" brought to us by Mr. Chen Qiming!"

The host exits.

Then the accompaniment group that Johnny prepared for Chen Qiming began to file out from the backstage.

""The Treasure of the Ryukyu People" is for everyone, I hope you like it!"

crackle crackle...

Following Chen Qiming's words, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.

Chen Qiming turned his head and nodded to the instrumentalists of the accompaniment group, indicating that it was time to start.

Boom boom boom!
The little drummer took the lead in striking the melody.

Afterwards, the luthier of the Sanshin Ryukyu began to play.

When the melody came together, the audience's eyes lit up immediately, and their spirits were shocked.

The Sanshin Ryukyuqin is an instrument with three strings, and its body has an oval shape.

Since the [-]th century, this musical instrument has been introduced to Okinawa, Japan and other places from southern China, and has a strong status as a musical instrument in Okinawa, Japan.

In addition, the melody of the song "Treasure of the Ryukyu People" is very nice.

Therefore, just the melody together, the audience immediately became interested.

"The sky of the island where I was born"

"I probably understand"

"How much of it?"

"Whether it's a shining star"

"Still a floating cloud"

……

Chen Qiming sang slowly.

This song is a folk song, and the most important thing in singing is emotion.

When Chen Qiming sang, he concentrated all his energy on singing and his own feelings.

Therefore, he didn't notice that when he sang, many fans at the scene shook their heads to the melody and closed their eyes.

Backstage.

Hearing the voice from the stage, Kitagawa walked up to a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.

"Hana-kun, how are you doing?"

Hearing his question, the middle-aged man glanced at him and couldn't help but mocked: "Chen Qiming himself is a well-known creative talent in China, you just took advantage of it!"

"Hehe..." Hearing this, Kitagawa was not angry, and said: "There is no way, the strength of Johnny's is here, Chen Sang is a smart person, of course he chose to cooperate with us.

It's you guys who are timid, I heard that you asked Kudo to seduce Chen Sang, but you don't want to sacrifice Kudo? "

As he said that, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Hana-kun-kun, don't hesitate to do things. If you dared to sacrifice Kudo, Chen Sang might be yours!"

……

In the backstage of the studio, a man who was talking and laughing happily with the executives of TV Asahi couldn't help but look up after hearing the voice from the studio.

Unfortunately, it was blocked by the office door.

"Kameda-kun, do you know who is singing now?" He looked at the high-level executives of Nicha TV who were chatting with him.

"Tok Yong-kun, it seems to be the singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan!"

Kameda heard the words, recalled the sequence of the program, and answered.

"From Hong Kong and Taiwan? The song just now is a new song!" Hideaki Tokunaga said with a frown.

As a person who has won the most popular foreign artist award selected by Hong Kong in the late 80s for many years.

Tokunaga Hideaki has a lot of dealings with people in the Hong Kong music scene.

In [-], when he held a concert in Hong Kong, he also invited Alan Tam and Shuyi Kwan to attend the concert as guests.

And because of his understanding of the Hong Kong music scene, he knows exactly what the current Hong Kong music scene is like.

Most people make a living by covering Japanese songs. For example, in his album "BIRDS" released in [-], five of them were covered by Hong Kong.

Just such a place that prides itself on cover songs.

Today, someone actually entered Japan, and even sang a piece of music that he had never heard before on a famous Japanese music show.

This made him feel very incredible.

"Tokunaga-kun, you have been undergoing surgery this year and rarely pay attention to Hong Kong and Taiwan music, so you may not know.

This Chen Qiming is not simple, he is different from other Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, he does not cover, almost all the songs are written by himself.

He only debuted last year, and his first album sold 100 million copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Subsequently, the second and third albums were even more terrifying, with sales of 400 million and 700 million copies respectively.

Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is No.1 in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene. "

Kameda said, paused for a moment, and continued: "He officially entered the Japanese music scene this year. It is said that the songs on the first Japanese album were adapted from his previous Chinese songs, and most of the other Japanese songs were written by him. Make it yourself.

He is considered, apart from Teresa Teng, the most likely Chinese singer to achieve great success in Japan. "

After listening to the other party's words, Tokunaga Hideaki couldn't help but fell silent.

"Tokunaga-kun, what's wrong? It's..."

Seeing his silence, Kameda couldn't help asking curiously.

"This song is very nice, I think it will be the enemy of my upcoming song!" Hideaki Tokunaga was silent for a while, and said.

"What, Tokunaga-kun, are you going to release a record? It's really great, my wife will be very happy..."

When Kameda heard this, he was overjoyed.

His wife is a loyal fan of Tokunaga Hideaki, and she is looking forward to Tokunaga Hideaki's album every day.

But since Tokunaga Hideaki had a problem last year and had surgery, Tokunaga Hideaki has never released a record.

"Then your wife may be disappointed. I have a problem with my vocal cords, and I can't get back to what it was before!" Tokunaga Hideaki said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, no matter what, Keiko will support you!" Kameda vowed.

Hearing this, Tokunaga Hideaki didn't speak, but was lost in listening to the singing in the studio.

After a while, he couldn't help sighing: "It's such a good voice, I didn't expect that there would be such a talent in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene!

Is Hong Kong and Taiwan music going to rise? "
