Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 203 English Records
Regarding Chen Qiming's first English album, both Chen Qiming himself and Fulong attach great importance to it.

At present, Chen Qiming is definitely the well-deserved No.1 in the Chinese music scene.

In terms of popularity, appeal, or talent, Chen Qiming is absolutely unique in the Chinese-speaking region.

Even in Japan, South Korea and other places, he is now a well-known international superstar.

With such a status in Asia, Chen Qiming is preparing to release his first English album in Europe and America, no matter how he looks at it, there is no room for sloppy.

In order to make Chen Qiming's English records more popular in Europe and the United States, and to enter the European and American markets more easily, before the official preparation of the album, Chen Qiming and Fulong negotiated with Warner Records and decided to hand over the agency rights of Chen Qiming's English records to Warner Records.

This is also a last resort.

If in Japan, Fulong still has some connections to promote the release of Chen Qiming's record, then in Europe and America, Fulong really has no connections at all.

And in this era when the release of records depends on distribution channels and various traditional paper media.

If a company can't do one of the above two points, no matter how popular your record quality is or how popular you are in other regions, it is absolutely impossible for you to sell your records.

Take a look at Michael Jackson, who is so popular all over the world, but the Asian market still needs to be represented by Sony Records.

Therefore, the cooperation with Warner Music is inevitable.

Of course, other records like Polygram and EMI are also possible.

But who asked Warner Music to give more!
After hearing that Chen Qiming was going to release an English record, Warner Records immediately came to the door, and with a wave of hands, it cost 1000 million yuan, and won the agency right of Chen Qiming's English record.

Note that it is an English record, not an agency right for all records.

Ever since Chen Qiming became popular in Asia, Fulong split up Chen Qiming's record agency rights. Every time he asked other companies to represent him, he only chose to be represented by language, region, or a single album.

Although this is troublesome, it should be said or not, the result of this is that both Chen Qiming and Fulong Company have made a lot of money because of it.

Let's talk about agency rights for Japanese records.

Warner Music has paid 500 million agency fees, and this is only one year.

Now the English record is another 1000 million agency fee, Fulong and Chen Qiming have almost made a lot of money.

Of course, Fulong Company and Chen Qiming's practice of repeatedly buying and selling agency rights like commodities also made Warner Records very angry.

But there is no way, Chen Qiming can do this now.

The huge popularity and appeal in the Chinese music scene has given him sufficient confidence, coupled with the current success in the Japanese market, this has once again increased his value.

If Warner Music is unwilling to accept Chen Qiming's conditions, Fulong will immediately contact EMI and other records for cooperation.

At present, other international record companies including EMI and PolyGram have long been envious of Chen Qiming.

Once given the chance, they would never give up the chance to poach a corner from Warner Records.

There are other companies eyeing it, and Warner Records agent Chen Qiming's Japanese and Mandarin records have indeed made a lot of money.

Therefore, even if they knew that Fulong Company and Chen Qiming were shameless to split and sell the record agency rights, they could only hold their noses and admit it.

After confirming the partner of cooperation, Chen Qiming immediately seized the time to start the production of his first English record.

Since this is the first English album to be released, Chen Qiming chose to be conservative and chose to make an EP to test the waters.

The three songs are the three he prepared before.

"Take Me to Your Heart", Kiss Goodbye English version.

According to Chen Qiming's information from his dream, this cover song "Kiss Goodbye" was released in 2004. Once it was released, it was immediately widely sung in Europe and the United States.

This song is also a rare song that has been translated into English from a Chinese song and has achieved success in the international market.

"Lemon Tree".

If "Take Me to Your Heart" is widely sung in the international market, then "Lemon Tree" is undoubtedly a hit.

It is like Lin Zhiying's "1992-year-old Rainy Season" in 17. After its release in 1995, the German group called Fool's Garden directly became an international hit and became popular in Europe and America.

"That Girl".

British singer Olly Murs (one of the representative works of Olly Murs.

Although the genre is relatively advanced, this song is undoubtedly an absolutely classic song.

According to the information in the dream, after this song was released, it quickly became popular all over the world, and it was a hit song.

Three songs, each of which has more than one billion songs ordered on the music platforms of later generations in China.

This is in China.

In China, a place where English songs are not very popular, there is a huge amount of playback. You can imagine the power of these three songs.

Therefore, for this ep, Chen Qiming is very confident.

He believes that with these three songs, he will definitely be able to enter the European and American markets successfully.

Not to mention directly ranking among the top English singers, no matter how you say it, you will gain a good word-of-mouth popularity!
The production of English records is troublesome.

Fulong Company does not have a professional English record producer.

Therefore, after discussing with Warner Records, Fulong paid for a professional English record production team from Europe and the United States to come to Baodao to cooperate with Chen Qiming in record production.

Originally, according to the idea of ​​Fulong Records, they directly paid a lot of money to hire a top European and American producer to produce for Chen Qiming.

Many consecutive Mandarin albums have made Fulong a lot of money, and he has plenty of money.

Now, Chen Qiming has become a cash cow in the eyes of Ge Fuhong.

Her trust in Chen Qiming may be more than Chen Qiming's trust in himself.

After listening to Chen Qiming's three English song demos, she fully believed that this song would be a success in Europe and the United States, so she was willing to spend money.

However, Chen Qiming rejected her idea of ​​paying for a top European and American producer.

For this English record, Chen Qiming intends to act as the producer himself.

After recording many albums, he has basically understood the procedures and knowledge of record production.

In addition, these songs are all produced by him, except for the author in the dream, no one knows these songs better than him.

So, he chose to be the producer himself.

Although this will make him more busy, but he is responsible for checking it himself. After the song is produced, the finished product will definitely be closer to the original version, and it will be easier to succeed.

And when Chen Qiming was making songs, Warner Records was not idle.

They started to promote Chen Qiming on a small scale in Europe and America.

The publicity mainly revolves around Chen Qiming's top Asian superstar.
