Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 163 Except for Chen Qiming, the Four Idol Kings Are Nothing
"Congratulations, the youngest actor of the Golden Horse Awards!"

Boss Xiang held the wine glass in his hand, gestured to Chen Qiming, and said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Chen Qiming responded with a smile.

The 20-year-old Golden Horse Best Actor, this is indeed an achievement worth bragging about.

However, compared to his record achievement of winning the highest annual sales in Asia with 700 million sales, although this achievement is worthy of joy, it is not enough to make Chen Qiming so excited that he can't find his way.

"Are there any project arrangements for this year?"

Coming to the boss is definitely not just for chatting, but for a purpose.

And his purpose, needless to say, Chen Qiming also understood what he wanted to do.

It is nothing more than inviting him to star in Yongsheng, no, it should be a Chinese star movie.

Many people think that Yongsheng is actually Xiang Huaqiang's company.

Actually this is not accurate.

Strictly speaking, this is the company of his younger brother Xiang Huasheng.

Although Boss Xiang has shares, before this year, he only occupied a small part of the shares.

It wasn't until 93 that Boss Xiang established China Star and acquired more than half of his younger brother's shares, and he became the largest shareholder of Yongsheng.

"This year may be very busy, with Mandarin records, Japanese records, concerts, and Changhong's drama.

If you want to be free, you may have to go until August or September! "

Chen Qiming didn't wait for the other party to propose an invitation, so he said so directly.

The Xiang family does have considerable influence in Hong Kong.

He also didn't want to offend them for some trivial matter.

Therefore, simply block the other party's idea of ​​​​asking out in advance.

"Is that so? What a pity! I just had a chat with director Er Dongsheng, and he agreed to help our company make a movie, and he recommended you to be the leading actor.

I didn't expect it to be so unfortunate. "

Boss Xiang obviously understood what Chen Qiming said, and said with a regretful face.

"It's a pity. If there is a chance, if there is a chance, I hope to cooperate with your company."

Chen Qiming showed regret at the right time.

After confirming that Chen Qiming had no schedule, Xiang Huaqiang didn't stay long, chatted with Chen Qiming for a while, and then took the initiative to leave.

And Chen Qiming began to deal with the others.

As the most popular singer this year, he also won the best actor at the just-concluded Golden Horse Awards.

Chen Qiming is definitely one of the most popular beings tonight.

Producers and directors from many companies approached him intentionally to inquire about his schedule.

In this kind of communication and entertainment, time passed quietly.

At around 10:30, Chen Qiming got rid of the entanglement of the group and went to chat with the judges of the organizer for a while, thanking them for awarding him the award.

Then, after greeting some acquaintances, he quickly left the banquet.

……

"The Wedding Banquet" became the biggest winner of the Golden Horse Awards

"The youngest actor in the history of Chinese film industry is born, it is him!" "

"Chen Qiming defeated Jackie Leung Ka Fai to win the best actor"

"Chen Qiming talks about new album"

On the second day, the entertainment page of the entire island was almost full of news about the Golden Horse Awards.

Among them, "The Wedding Banquet" became the biggest winner, winning the best female supporting role, best male supporting role, best director, best film and many other heavyweight awards, which almost occupied most of the media's front pages.

Afterwards, Chen Qiming followed up with the news about the Best Actor.

Even, to a certain extent, his popularity is higher than that of "The Wedding Banquet".

As the youngest winner of the Golden Horse Awards and the hottest existence in the music world, the media spent a lot of space describing him.

For example, in the Taiwan film industry, although "Wedding Banquet" is on the cover of the headlines, Chen Qiming is mentioned the most in the article.

"It's hard to imagine that while Chen Qiming has achieved great success in the music world, his acting skills are not far behind other people in the film world.

Although some people have been comparing Chen Qiming with the four kings of Hong Kong.

But the fact is that Chen Qiming not only surpassed the four heavenly kings in terms of record sales, but he also surpassed them in the film industry, and he was the first to win the title of Best Actor..."

The first articles in the Formosa film industry were fairly well written.

But for some reason, in the middle of writing, I suddenly turned a corner and began to belittle the four kings of Hong Kong.

This report did not cause any waves in Baodao.

Because Baodao's media has always done this.

Whenever Chen Qiming is mentioned, the four kings of Hong Kong will inevitably be pulled out and stepped on.

Even, because of Chen Qiming's relationship, the so-called four idol kings of Baodao have become more and more popular.

Many people think that if Chen Qiming is so powerful, then the other three little ones should be equally powerful.

Therefore, the Baodao media took advantage of the trend to exaggerate the four idol kings of Baodao.

It's just that Hong Kong didn't respond much compared to when the Baodao media boasted before.

This time, because of the Golden Horse Awards, many artists from Hong Kong came to Taiwan.

When they went back, they took Baodao's news papers with them.

Among them is the share of Taiwan Film World.

Then, what happened after that was dramatic.

Hong Kong Oriental Daily took the lead in attacking Taiwan media and the so-called four idol kings.

"Treasury island media are all a bunch of idiots who open their eyes and talk nonsense, the four idol kings? To be honest, except for Chen Qiming, the others are really not good. What works do they have? Is there continuous output? Just Wu Qilong is a bit like, the captain of the Little Tigers His status has allowed him to sell 100 million copies of his two albums respectively. As for the others, hehe!

Take out any one of the four heavenly kings, and basically hang them..."

I don't know who wrote this article. The whole article expresses dissatisfaction with Baodao Media's move of stepping on the Four Heavenly Kings and promoting the Four Idol Kings.

However, although this article has been scolding Taiwan media and the four idol kings.

But it miraculously pulled Chen Qiming away.

It was like, "Well, I am convinced by Chen Qiming, but I am not convinced by the others!"

After this article, other media in Hong Kong also began to take action.

New Times wrote: "The so-called Four Great Idol Kings are nothing more than using Chen Qiming's hand to elevate some people!"

Hong Kong Daily put it this way: "The so-called Heavenly King is an honorary title, not everyone can be called it.

Others don't talk about it, just talk about Jimmy Lin, he didn't even make it into the top ten idols, how did he become the king of the top four idols?
If you really want to talk like this, then Sun Yaowei from Hong Kong is now so popular in your island, and was voted No.8 in the top ten idols. Does that mean that he can replace Jimmy Lin? "

The Hong Kong media's voice, and then, the media of the two places directly set off a war of abuse.

Today I will give some examples of the amazing deeds of the four great idol kings, and tomorrow I will show the deeds of the four great kings.

Both sides come and go, scolding in the media.

Even, because the media and newspapers in the two places are not in circulation, in order to facilitate knowing the curse words on the opposite side, many media outlets in the two places even directly opened branch offices in Baodao and Hong Kong to understand the news here, and then send Go back and let someone analyze it, and then wait for the report to scold.

The media of the two places were full of quarrels because of the four idol kings and the four heavenly kings.

Of course Chen Qiming knew it too.

However, like several other parties involved, although he was concerned, he basically didn't speak out, and just sat and watched the two sides confront each other.

"Don't use Chen Qiming as an argument, I've said it before, Chen Qiming is really good, and I admit it, but he is so good because he is so good, don't the four idol kings have other achievements besides Chen Qiming?

If you talk about the Four Great Idol Kings, you use Chen Qiming to talk about the matter. Don't mention four of the Four Great Idol Kings, just change it to Chen Qiming.

Since there are four of them, the status and popularity of the four should be fairly high.

But right now, it’s clearly not…”

Looking at the newspaper from Hong Kong in his hand, Chen Qiming couldn't help shaking his head.

Obviously, Baodao was at a disadvantage in this scolding battle.

As for the reason, the main reason was that the Four Heavenly Kings were suppressed by Chen Qiming to a certain extent.

But compared to Nicky Wu, Jimmy Lin and Takeshi Kaneshiro, their popularity and achievements are much higher.

Not to mention comparing popularity in Hong Kong, even in Taiwan, the Four Heavenly Kings are not inferior to the Four Great Idol Kings.

In particular, the Hong Kong media played a fool and picked Chen Qiming out first, acknowledging that Chen Qiming was awesome, and made a big fuss about the uneven strength of the four idol kings.

And the Four Idol Heavenly Kings, if it wasn't for Chen Qiming's joining, they would have been called the Four Little Heavenly Kings.

Without Chen Qiming, the other three, except for Wu Qilong who can single out against the Four Heavenly Kings, the other two are really inferior to the Four Heavenly Kings.

Some people may say that Lin Zhiying was also popular in Asia in 92, and he was still a little whirlwind before Chen Qiming.

But if you say that, the Hong Kong media will immediately use Aaron Kwok to speak out.

Popular in Asia?Who hasn't been popular among the four heavenly kings?

Just talk about Aaron Kwok, the song "I Can't End My Love for You" became popular all over the Chinese-speaking area. At that time, there was a trend called Aaron Kwok.

In the two years of 90 and 91, to what extent did Aaron Kwok become so popular?
Apart from other things, why was Lin Zhiying discovered by Xia Chunyong?

It's not because he looks like Aaron Kwok.

Then, the style of his first record also went straight to Aaron Kwok.

As for Takeshi Kaneshiro is handsome!
To tell the truth, apart from Jacky Cheung, none of the other four kings is synonymous with handsome.

Being handsome is just the foundation, not an achievement.

Not to mention, Jacky Cheung, the least handsome person, was still the second best-selling mandarin record in 1993.

In short, if Chen Qiming is not brought out, the Taiwan media really can't say anything about Hong Kong.

However, it is certainly impossible for the Baodao media to really listen to the Hong Kong media and not compare Chen Qiming.

Every time, as soon as there was a tendency to scold him, they immediately expanded their tactics and mentioned Chen Qiming.

If you say Andy Lau is the most popular person in Asia, I will immediately bring out Chen Qiming.

As the most popular Hong Kong and Taiwan male singer in 1993 Asian countries in [-], Chen Qiming directly hit Andy Lau.

Then, if you talk about Jacky Cheung's sales, it doesn't matter, Chen Qiming is even higher, with 700 million album sales data, it is still more convincing to step on Jacky Cheung's top position.

Then, a bunch of titles such as Japan's Oricon Ranking No. [-], Golden Horse Award Best Actor, etc. were thrown out, which directly made Hong Kong scold Chen Qiming for not being counted.

However, although when scolding the Hong Kong media, Chen Qiming will always be mentioned at critical moments.

But Baodao has actually been influenced by the Hong Kong media to a certain extent.

That is, when many media mentioned Chen Qiming, whether it was intentional or for other reasons, they no longer added the title of the Four Great Idol Kings in front of him, but more often called Chen Qiming the number one pop king in the Chinese music scene.

Even, on January [-]rd, Times Weekly on Taiwan's side directly proposed re-election of the four idol kings.

What they mean is that Chen Qiming has obviously gone beyond this category, and he should not be ranked together with Wu Qilong and others.

Unfortunately, Times Weekly's proposal did not get the approval of many fans and audiences.

In the eyes of fans, Chen Qiming is currently the number one idol in Taiwan.

Even if his popularity and strength are much higher than the other three, if he is kicked out of this title, it would be disrespectful to him.

Moreover, without Chen Qiming, the No. [-] idol in Taiwan, what is the meaning of the so-called four idol kings?
Therefore, this matter can only be let go in the end.

Taiwan media and Hong Kong media directly scolded each other for nearly a week, until the arrival of the Taiwan Top Ten Idol Awards Ceremony, it gradually subsided.

January [-]th.

In 1993, the Top Ten Idol Awards Ceremony was officially held at the Municipal Gymnasium.

Since the gymnasium was put into use and Chen Qiming was the first to hold a concert here, it has been frequently used for performances.

Because of the large space, each ticket sale starts long in advance.

Just like the top ten idols this time, Lianhe Daily had already started selling tickets before the Golden Horse Awards, and it didn't stop selling tickets until January [-]th.

The consecutive days of ticket sales also made the number of people present at this awards ceremony several times higher than last year.

This year, more than [-] fans are expected to attend.

The award ceremony with more than 3 people can imagine the popularity at that time.

As soon as the award ceremony began, the entire venue entered an unusually hot atmosphere.

Every time an artist appeared on the stage, there would be waves of cheers.

If the Golden Horse Award is for judging acting skills, the audience doesn't understand.

Then the top ten idols are the popularity of the comment.

Undoubtedly, the ranking of the ten voted out may be different from the actual situation, but these people are definitely the most popular existence on Treasure Island this year.

Letting any one of these ten people out at will, and walking on the street, they are all existences that can cause pursuit.

Although there is not much difference between the votes of this year's top ten idols and last year's list.

But there are also differences. Some people lost the election, and there are also newcomers who entered the list.

Vote first.

Chen Qiming won the first place with 13 votes.

The second is Andy Lau, his vote score is [-].

In fact, from the voting data, we can roughly analyze the popularity difference of everyone on the current list.

Both Chen Qiming and Andy Lau received more than [-] votes.

But the data gap between the others and them is very large.

Aaron Kwok ranked third with only [-] copies.

Then Pan Meichen, who was fourth, got [-] copies.

Fifth, Nicky Wu, [-] copies.

Sixth, Takeshi Kaneshiro, forty thousand.

Seventh, LA Boyz, [-] copies.

Eighth, Sun Yaowei, [-] sheets.

Ninth, Liming, [-] sheets.

Tenth, Yin Nengjing, [-] sheets.

This year, the total number of votes was more than 50 more than last year, reaching more than [-].

Among them, Chen Qiming and Andy Lau accounted for almost half of the votes, and the others shared the other half.

According to Baodao, Hong Kong's four heavenly kings and the four idol kings are tied in this wave.

Among the top ten idols, each side has three people.

However, this year's Lin Zhiying is really pulling.

He was still voted third last year, but this year, he fell directly out of the top ten.

It has to be said that the entertainment industry changes really quickly, especially idols, if they don't have a continuous output of works, they will be eliminated soon and replaced by newcomers.

This year, there are newcomers, the combination of LA Boyz (Three Brothers in Los Angeles) and Sun Yaowei.

Among them, the Three Brothers in Los Angeles, with two rap albums with a strong American hip-hop style, successfully broke out in Taiwan and won No.7 among the top ten idols.

Then Sun Yaowei.

This one is from Hong Kong, but he made his debut in Taiwan.

In 92, he participated in an audition contest in Hong Kong, was picked up by the record company of Baodao, and then brought to Baodao.

After signing with Formosa Records, his first album "Nice to Know You" sold 50 copies.

Among them, the song "Nice to Know You" was also selected by Coca-Cola and became Coca-Cola's Treasure Island commercial song.

Others are mostly old faces from last year.

Nicky Wu had a head-to-head encounter with Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung in March. Although he was finally torn to pieces and reduced to cannon fodder, that album also sold millions of copies, which made his popularity soar.

As for Pan Meichen, this tomboy released two albums in a row this year. Although the sales volume did not exceed one million, they both reached 70 and 60 respectively.

Coupled with her previous popularity, she climbed one more place than last year and ranked fourth.

Others have more or less outstanding masterpieces this year.

Even Yi Nengjing, who is ranked tenth.

She collaborated with Chen Qiming on the song "Have to Love".

Although this song is not a well-known masterpiece by Chen Qiming, it has successfully attracted a lot of popularity for her and made her continue to be on the list of top ten idols.

Only Takeshi Kaneshiro...

Well, Takeshi Kaneshiro has improved this year.

In terms of works, he really can't come up with popular works.

But this year, he starred in many movies and TV series, adding a lot of popularity to himself.

At the same time, with his outstanding appearance and fashion taste, he has successfully made his way in the fashion industry.

It has a certain popularity in the fashion circle throughout Asia.

Coupled with Fulong Company's support behind it, he naturally continued to be among the top ten idols.

Because it is voted first.

Therefore, Chen Qiming finally realized the feeling that Andy Lau had seen all the mountains and small mountains last year.

Well, I don't feel much.

It was at the last stage that the cheers were even louder and the fans even more fanatical.

Then there was a little more time for the acceptance speech.

Same as last year, this year's Chen Qiming still has two awards.

In addition to the top ten idols, he continues to be the best modeling idol.

No way, the sales of posters in the Chinese region of Asia are the top, he is not the best model.

Best series of the year, though.

That is to say, other than the top ten idol awards, the selection rules of this year have changed.

Last year, whether it was the best modeling idol or the best singing idol, it was all voted by fans.

This year, the five professional awards are voted by professional media professionals.

Although it is the same vote, but because the representatives and the direction of viewing are different, the selected winners are naturally different.

The five best idols are:
Best Singing Idol: Jacky Cheung

Best Team Icon: LA Boyz
Best Image Idol: Alec Su

Best Modeling Idol: Chen Qiming
Most Promising Newcomer: Sun Yaowei

With "Kiss Goodbye", Jacky Cheung gained a lot of popularity in Baodao.

Although he was not selected as one of the top ten idols, the best singing idol was still given to him.

Ok!

In this way, the four heavenly kings of Hong Kong have won the top ten idols.

This embarrasses Baodao Media and Lin Zhiying.

Although Jimmy Lin released more than one album in 1993.

But apart from the "Dream of Drama" EP at the beginning of the year, the sales of the next two albums were very low, only more than 30 copies.

From the perspective of the entire music scene, this figure seems to be very good.

But among the top ten idols, there is a gap.

In addition, he is busy with concerts this year, but the concert did not cause any disturbances, so naturally there is not much enthusiasm.

If there is no popularity, no one will vote for him.

If the scolding between the Taiwan media and the Hong Kong media had been earlier, maybe he could have been voted in by taking advantage of the popularity of the four idol kings.

It's a pity that voting has stopped in December.

So even though the Four Great Idol Kings had just been fired, it didn't create a chance for him to enter the Top Ten Idols.
