Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 313 Chapter 321 Wu Bai, come over and fuck with me

Xingfuli Cafe.

Chen Qiming casually put on a hat and walked into the coffee shop.

As soon as the cafe manager saw him, he immediately greeted him and personally took him to a private room on the second floor.

This cafe is Chen Qiming's property.

After he got rich, he didn't just keep it all in his hands. This coffee shop was invested by him.

His mother is usually in charge.

The reason why I invest in a coffee shop is mainly to facilitate daily conversations.

He is now involved in many types of work and often needs to discuss various business matters.

So I invested in several industries like coffee shops.

Not for making money, purely for convenience.

In the private room, Wu Bai had already arrived. Seeing Chen Qiming come in, he immediately stood up, "A Ming!"

"You came so fast!" Chen Qiming looked surprised.

He was so close, the coffee shop was almost at his door. Although he was delayed for a while, he didn't expect Wu Bai to arrive so quickly.

"I have no work today. I will come directly after making an appointment with you!"

After the two of them exchanged a few simple and reserved words, Wu Bai took out several A4 sheets of paper filled with lyrics and music from his bag and handed them to Chen Qiming.

"This is the song I wrote, please help me control my eyes!"

Although I just wanted Chen Qiming to take a look, my real intention was to ask Chen Qiming if he wanted this song.

Chen Qiming nodded, took the lyrics and music, and began to read.

"Let me take off your heart and try to melt it slowly to see if I am still perfect in your heart and if you still care about me at all..."

Looking at the lyrics and music, Chen Qiming reflexively started humming along with the music.

Finally, he looked at the name, "Norwegian Wood", and Chen Qiming knew it clearly.

This song is the one that became a real hit for Wu Bai in Dreams.

If "Roman Love Song" made Wu Bai famous in the Baodao music scene, then "Norwegian Wood" was the existence that completely pushed him to the forefront of Baodao rock.

"A very good song!"

Putting the lyrics and music aside, Chen Qiming asked curiously: "Why don't you sing such a good song yourself?"

Wu Bai was silent for a moment and did not hide anything, "Our company does not have so many resources to promote this song. You know, if there are not a lot of promotion resources, this song will most likely be buried. I don't want this song to be buried, so …”

Chen Qiming frowned, "You and your band should be considered affiliated with the Rolling Stones now! How can the Rolling Stones not have resources!"

Wu Bai joined Rolling Stone the year before last, and the album "Roman Love Song" was released by Rolling Stone.

As Rolling Stone is currently the largest local record company in Baodao, it would be too false to say that it has no promotion resources.

Wu Bai shook his head, looking helpless, "The Rolling Stones currently have no plans for me to release a record."

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded, he almost understood.

how to say!Rolling Stone is indeed a company that values ​​creation.

It is also one of the few record companies that does not pay attention to appearance.

It looks awesome.

But there is actually a lot of nastiness inside the Rolling Stones.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Don’t think that the singers of the Rolling Stones are all a family.

In this world, everyone has their own pursuits and interests.

Affected by this, the Rolling Stones were divided into several factions, and famous creators such as Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou, and Xiao Chong were the leaders of these factions.

But Wu Bai was very unlucky. After he joined the Rolling Stones, he was not from these factions.

The internal record distribution resources of each record company are also limited, and each producer has certain resources in his hands.

But as the saying goes, good news should not flow to outsiders.

Wu Bai has indeed become famous and is a very good creator in his own right.

But so what?We can’t allocate resources internally, shall I allocate them to you?
Unless a few big guys nod, it’s really not easy for Wu Bai to come up with a record.

And it seems that Wu Bai is not a flatterer.

For a person like him, unless the higher-ups pay special attention to him, no one really cares about him.

As for Wu Bai being very popular!
In fact, to be honest, he is not too popular.

"The Love Song of Ronin", a duet between Chen Qiming and Wu Bai, was very popular and successfully made Wu Bai famous in the Baodao music scene.

But at the same time, it was also this cooperation that allowed Chen Qiming to take away a lot of his glory.

Chen Qiming only found out this later.

Fans almost came to pay attention to him. As a result, although Wu Bai did increase his popularity a lot, it did not reach the situation in his dream.

"I have a proposal, I wonder if you are willing to do it!" Chen Qiming stirred the coffee in the coffee cup and suddenly looked up at Wu Bai.

"Say it!" Wu Bai sat upright.

"I remember you told me before that your contract was transferred from your original company to the Rolling Stones.

If that's the case, then your contract with the Rolling Stones should be expiring soon!

If you believe me, then don’t renew the contract. When your contract ends, you can directly sign with our company. "

Chen Qiming said, pushing the A4 paper in front of him. "As for this song, I won't sing it, and it will be the title track of your first album with Qidian Records!"

Finally, Chen Qiming added: "Although we have just started, I think this place will be suitable for you.

I introduced special rules for the company's creators.

As long as you have the ability, you can decide whether to release records yourself, or whether to sign a singer to release records. "

"Producer?" Wu Bai asked in surprise.

"Absolutely!" Chen Qiming nodded.

Generally speaking, in this era, the status of producers is actually higher than that of singers.

Producers are the backbone of a company. The so-called smooth singers and tough producers refer to the situation in the record industry.

In this era, most good producers have good creative abilities.

And the importance of a good songwriter to the production of an album is definitely at the top of the list.

After all, good songs are hard to come by.

As for singers, Hong Kong and Taiwan basically have a lot of them. You can just find a new person and give him a good song, and you can praise him.

Of course, Chen Qiming is an exception.

His first record when he joined Fulong showed his outstanding creative ability.

This eliminates many of the drawbacks of being a new singer.

"I still have two months left on my contract with the Rolling Stones!" Wu Bai said after thinking for a while.

Wu Bai did not doubt Chen Qiming's words.

He believed in Chen Qiming's character.

To be honest, in his heart, Chen Qiming is definitely one of his benefactors.

"Wandering Love Song" was released largely because of Chen Qiming.In his opinion, if it weren't for Chen Qiming, maybe he would still be doing nothing at his previous record company.

Therefore, although Chen Qiming is younger than him, he respects Chen Qiming very much.

"Then it's settled. When you go back, be prepared. When your contract there expires, go directly to Qidian Records. I will start arranging your first record at Qidian."

Chen Qiming said with a smile.

He is really happy, and he has hired a general for Qidian, who is still capable of creation.

Plus Tao Zhe and Jay Chou who are already in the company.

In a word, Qidian Records has a promising future.

Even without him in the future, this company will definitely have a good position in the Chinese music scene.

A few words finalized Wu Bai's job hopping. The two chatted about music for a while, and then they said goodbye and left.

After telling Chen Xiunan about Wu Bai, Chen Qiming stopped paying attention to the matter and rested at home for a day. The next day, he flew to Hong Kong.

The Pepsi endorsement has been officially finalized.

In the next five years, Chen Qiming will become the spokesperson of PepsiCo in Asia.

Well, not the only spokesperson.

This time, Pepsi not only signed Chen Qiming, but also renewed Leslie Cheung.

This time, the advertisements and endorsement advertisements he shot in the past were all collaborations with Leslie Cheung.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Chen Qiming got off the plane and drove to Kowloon.

Pepsi set up a filming location on Kowloon Avenue.

In addition to staff, there were many ordinary citizens and reporters around.

"It's Chen Qiming. There were rumors that Pepsi signed Chen Qiming for a sky-high price of 1.7 million yuan. It seems to be true!"

“It seems that Pepsi is determined to compete with Coca-Cola in the Asian market.

Tsk... 1.7 million is really a sky-high price. No one in Asia has ever received such a high endorsement!Pepsi-Cola really values ​​Chen Qiming. "

"Of course I value him. Asia's number one superstar has great influence in Europe and the United States.

It is said that Chen Qiming signed a contract not with Asia, but with Pepsi-Cola Corporation. He is at the forefront of Pepsi's global endorsement list of celebrities! "

"Yes, it is said that the total sales volume of Chen Qiming's English album has exceeded 2000 million. Darling, it has only been a few months. The total sales volume of this guy's current album is almost equivalent to the total sales of the four kings!"

"Don't mention the Four Heavenly Kings. Fans don't like to hear this title now. Even Andy Lau and the others are silent about this title. If you talk about it every day, be careful not to be underestimated by these guys."

……

Hearing the excited shouts of passers-by and the discussions of reporters, in a flash of light, Chen Qiming went straight to the shooting area in the middle of the road.

"I heard that the company's previous plan was not to renew Leslie Cheung's contract and fully cooperate with Chen Qiming, but Chen Qiming felt that he could not do this kind of endorsement thing, so he always disagreed.

In the end, the headquarters directly decided that the two of them would endorse together, and Chen Qiming accepted the endorsement! "

"I didn't find Chen Qiming, this guy is quite down-to-earth and has such respect for his seniors."

At this time, there were only a few staff members helping to set up the scene in the shooting area.

Several employees from Pepsi-Cola stood aside and ate the melons handed out by the company.

After all, Chen Qiming and Leslie Cheung are both top stars in Asia. Among them, Chen Qiming has considerable influence on a global scale. This kind of gossip between big stars is really delicious.

Just as everyone was expressing their opinions one by one, Chen Qiming and his party crossed the cordon and walked directly this way. Everyone hurriedly shut up when they saw this.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

Because they felt guilty about being caught gossiping behind their backs, everyone's eyes were wandering and they did not dare to look directly at Chen Qiming and others.

"Mr. Chen, you are here!"

A male voice came from a simple studio set up not far away, and then a thin middle-aged man trotted over with a humble look on his face, "I am Li Qingren, the director of this advertisement!"

Li Qingren is just a small advertising director, while Chen Qiming is a famous international superstar. He is also the owner of Hong Kong Pacific Cinemas and a proper capital boss, so he seems very humble.

"Hello, Director Li!"

Chen Qiming shook hands with him with a gentle smile and looked around, "Isn't brother here yet?"

"Not yet, but soon. I just called and it's on the way!"

The group of people walked towards the makeup area not far away.

Today’s Pepsi commercial shoot was actually very simple.

If you take the photo seriously, it only takes an hour or two.

But because of the presence of Chen Qiming and Leslie Cheung, Pepsi-Cola attached great importance to this filming. The scene was very big and the entire filming location was made more professional than a movie.

Chen Qiming went to put on makeup and change clothes first.

When Chen Qiming came out again, Leslie Cheung had already arrived, and the crew began to prepare various shooting machines.

Before the shooting, Chen Qiming and Leslie Cheung sat together and chatted.

"Your record is really popular all over the world. I went to Cannes some time ago, and you could hear your singing on the streets in Cannes!"

Leslie Cheung still looks like a humble gentleman, and his gentle tone of voice makes people very comfortable.

"The UK, France and Germany in Europe do have good results. These three countries account for almost 70.00% of sales in Europe!"

Chen Qiming responded.

"I told you you could do it. Sure enough, in a short period of time you became a world-famous superstar. I am not as good as you!" Leslie Cheung shook his head and sighed.

"Brother, you are joking, everyone has their own strengths!"

Although Leslie Cheung's achievements in music may indeed be inferior to his own.

But Chen Qiming feels that Leslie Cheung also has a lot worth learning from him.

In addition to his behavior and acting skills, he is not as good as Leslie Cheung.

"Haha..." Leslie Cheung smiled, stopped talking about this topic, and asked instead:
"Did TVB invite you?"

"What?" Chen Qiming looked confused.

Hearing this, Leslie Cheung immediately frowned, "TVB invited me to participate in this year's Rookie Singing Competition. I declined, but they took out your name and said you would attend!"

"That's it..." Hearing this, Chen Qiming also frowned.

He didn't expect that TVB would take advantage of the situation and use it to benefit him.

"How about we attend together! If I don't have the chance to act in a movie with you, then let's work together on a show!"

Next to him, Leslie Cheung pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.

Chen Qiming looked at Leslie Cheung and saw that he was indeed not joking. He obviously really wanted to cooperate with him.

After calculating the future schedule in my mind, if the Rookie Singing Contest doesn't take too much time, maybe it really can be done.

"OK!" Chen Qiming nodded.

After thinking carefully about why TVB was picking on him, Chen Qiming thought about it and felt that it might have something to do with the copyright of China Star Records.

Huaxing Records’ song copyrights are being packaged and sold to Chen Qiming’s Qidian Records.

He had spoken to the Guo family on the phone before about this matter.

Although they were angry with Chen Qiming for buying the copyright of Hua Xing's songs, they didn't overdo it and said they hoped to cooperate in the future.

Chen Qiming feels that this cooperation is most likely to invite him to attend this year's rookie singing competition.
