Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 319 Who dares to touch Chen Qiming?

To become famous internationally and become the number one superstar in Asia, the most significant benefit for Chen Qiming is the rise in status.

Especially Japan.

The popularity of "Ride on the Silver Dragon", coupled with Chen Qiming's popularity as a godfather in his childhood, has made Chen Qiming's fame and status in Japan even greater.

In today's small days, there is almost no star who can compare with Chen Qiming.

Therefore, less than a day after Chen Qiming arrived in Japan, a large number of people began to come to his door.

Among them, some people came to negotiate endorsements.

Chen Qiming is so popular in Japan, but he has few endorsements in Japan. The latest one is only Sony's DVD endorsement.

As for other endorsements, he doesn’t have many.

Therefore, many Japanese value Chen Qiming's reputation and want to invite him to be a spokesperson.

In addition to businessmen, many colleagues in Japan also hope to get to know Chen Qiming.

Because there were so many people who wanted to get to know Chen Qiming, Johnny & Associates, which was responsible for Chen Qiming's affairs in Japan, held a banquet for Chen Qiming on the night of his third day in Japan, and invited a large number of important figures in the Japanese entertainment industry. People come.

Chen Qiming does not reject this.

A banquet!This is a routine operation in the entertainment industry, and it is the best place to hunt for women or get to know people.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, about an hour before the party started.

There were not many people in the hotel at this time, most of them were senior executives from Johnny & Associates and people from Warner Records.

Because the banquet hadn't started yet, Chen Qiming was very idle and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

What is being played on TV at this time is the Japanese animation work "Neon Genesis Evangelion" co-produced by GAINAX Company and Tatsunoko Studio.

The cartoon premiered on Japan's TV Tokyo last week.

Once it was broadcast, it quickly became popular all over Japan. Even Chen Qiming heard news about this cartoon in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It is said that RTHK is actively contacting the production company here to win the broadcast rights of RTHK.

"Hahaha... Chen Sang, I saw you right. Signing you was definitely the wisest decision I made."

While watching TV, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the door.

Chen Qiming looked around and couldn't help but frown when he saw the person coming.

The visitor was none other than Kitagawa, the president of Johnny & Associates.

To be honest, Chen Qiming doesn't like this guy too much.

Some information in the dream and some rumors in reality made him very dislike this guy.

Likes gay men, and forces male artists in the company...etc.

All these things made Chen Qiming not have a good impression of him.

However, there is one thing to say, this old guy's ability is indeed good, and Johnny deserves the most credit for becoming the leader of Japan's entertainment industry.

Even Chen Qiming, whose development in Japan is so smooth, is also inseparable from this guy's publicity and planning.

In addition, because Chen Qiming is not Japanese and is a foreign artist, he can not rely too much on Johnny & Associates, and Chen Qiming himself has considerable influence, so this old guy has never shown any disgusting behavior when dealing with him.

Therefore, facing Kitagawa's greeting, Chen Qiming stood up politely and responded to him.

"President Kitagawa, long time no see!"

After lightly touching Kitagawa's hand, Chen Qiming quickly retracted his hand without making any further contact.

Kitagawa didn't care about Chen Qiming's actions.

He knows his own situation well. Even if his scandal is not known to everyone in Japan, it is not a secret.

As long as Chen Qiming is a normal man and has some resistance to himself, that's normal.

To be able to become the head of a club and run Johnny's Office to its current scale, Kitagawa is not a fool.

Although he likes male sex, he never expresses this interest to some beings.

This is true even if the other person is his type.

And Chen Qiming is one of them.

When Chen Qiming came to Japan to develop, he was already a dragon across the river. He already had considerable influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and was the king of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Therefore, after signing Chen Qiming to the company, he never used his behavior on Chen Qiming.

Moreover, when he felt that Chen Qiming hated those things about him, he began to reduce contact with Chen Qiming.

Unless necessary, he chose not to have contact with Chen Qiming to prevent the cooperation between Johnny & Associates and Chen Qiming from reaching a deadlock because of himself.

"It's really unimaginable, Chen Sang, you can actually break the color discrimination of white people in Europe and America and become one of the top superstars in Europe and America.

Chen Sang is really the pride of us Asians. To show my respect, I would like to drink a toast! "

Kitagawa knew very well that he did not sit on the same sofa as Chen Qiming, but sat on another sofa. As soon as he sat down, he picked up the wine glass, gestured to Chen Qiming, and then drank the wine in the glass.

"Thank you!" Chen Qiming didn't want to say more. He nodded and continued to focus on the TV in front of him.

Seeing that Chen Qiming was ignoring him, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Kitagawa's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"Chen Sang, I heard that you rejected Toyota's endorsement deal?"

Chen Qiming's resistance to him was clear to Kitagawa. In order to avoid unpleasant things happening to both parties, Kitagawa could only choose to complete his purpose tonight as soon as possible.

He got the news that Chen Qiming rejected a US$2000 million endorsement deal from Japan's Toyota Motor yesterday.

As soon as he heard the news, he immediately became anxious.

Because Johnny is Chen Qiming's agent in Japan.

Therefore, Johnny has the right to take away a considerable amount of income from Chen Qiming's endorsement contracts in Japan.

And 2000 million US dollars.

Even if Johnny could only get 200% from Chen Qiming, that would still be [-] million US dollars.

Two million US dollars is not a small amount.

At the very least, no artist's manager's commission in Johnny's is so high.

In addition, Toyota found him personally, hoping that he could persuade Chen Qiming to accept this endorsement.

That's why he showed up here knowing that Chen Qiming didn't want to deal with him.

"Yes!"

Chen Qiming retracted his gaze from the TV, glanced at Kitagawa, and asked with a half-smile: "What? President Kitagawa wants to be a lobbyist?"

Chen Qiming probably understood Kitagawa's purpose.

Toyota is a large Japanese group, and Genesis is far behind it.

Kitagawa wanted to curry favor with the other party, so it was not surprising that he accepted the other party's entrustment as a lobbyist.

"Yes, Chen Sang, I think you should accept this contract!"

Kitagawa didn't seem to hear Chen Qiming's sarcasm, or maybe he did, but he didn't care.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Chen Qiming stared at Kitagawa, his tone a little cold.

Kitagawa's behavior was not liked by Chen Qiming.

Now, the other party actually went against Chen Qiming's wishes and asked Chen Qiming to accept the endorsement that he did not accept.

This made Chen Qiming very angry.

"Chen Sang, Honda has strong energy in Japan. If you can accept this contract and have their help, your career in Japan will be smoother!" Kitagawa said like a good old man, "I am helping you."

Hearing this, Chen Qiming sneered, "Is it possible that if I don't sign this contract, I won't be able to survive in Japan?" Hearing this, Kitagawa fell silent.

Will Chen Qiming be unable to survive in Japan?
No one would believe this, especially for someone like Kitagawa who knew a lot of things. It was a bit of a joke.

Let’s not talk about Chen Qiming’s huge popularity in Japan.

Even if something major changes suddenly happened to Chen Qiming, he would never be able to survive in Japan.

If Chen Qiming was active in Japan before, he relied on Warner Japan and Johnny's.

Now, there needs to be one more force behind Chen Qiming.

That is Sony, which controls most of Japan's economic lifeline and can influence the election of Japan's top leader.

You know, just a month ago, Sony had just signed a five-year endorsement contract with Chen Qiming worth tens of millions of dollars.

Sony only provided tens of millions of dollars. Under such circumstances, even if Chen Qiming wanted to survive in Japan, Sony would not agree.

You know, for Sony, the reason why they signed Chen Qiming to be the spokesperson of its DVDs is that Chen Qiming is very popular.

He is so popular that he can become the spokesperson of Sony's DVD, which can greatly increase Sony's DVD sales.

Sony is not a small company.

Its products have good sales channels all over the world.

In a large number of regions, if the sales volume increases by just a few percent, Sony can earn tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Under such circumstances, who dares to prevent Chen Qiming from surviving in Japan?

Anyone who dares to do this is cutting off Sony's financial path.

Therefore, the current situation is that with Sony here, no one dares to touch Chen Qiming in his small days.

Even when you throw dirty water on him, you have to be careful not to let this dirty water affect Sony's DVD sales.

Otherwise, Sony will cut you into pieces before Chen Qiming takes action himself.

Many people may have discovered a law.

That is, the more popular people, if it is not for special reasons, they generally will not suddenly become popular.

The reason is because of capital.

If others don't talk about it, just talk about Chen Qiming.

The interest groups behind him are too big.

After careful calculation, Time Warner is only a relatively large presence among the interest groups behind him, and it is not Chen Qiming's biggest backer at all.

Who is Chen Qiming’s biggest backer?

It is very clear that they are actually the companies that Chen Qiming endorses.

Currently, Chen Qiming has endorsements all over the world.

Sanyang Motorcycle from Baodao, Chow Tai Fook from Hong Kong, Pepsi-Cola from Europe and America, Sony from Japan, etc.

These companies all signed endorsement contracts with Chen Qiming.

And these companies definitely don't like Chen Qiming's accident or decline in popularity.

Because if anything happens to Chen Qiming, their endorsement fees will be in vain, and it may even cause sales problems for the product.

With so many big groups behind him, it would be fine if Chen Qiming failed to live up to his expectations, but if someone made a small move.

Well, even if this is a big company, Toyota, a famous Japanese car company, as long as it dares to make small moves, it must be careful of other companies and be careful not to be attacked.

"Mr. Kitagawa, I don't know if you received money from Toyota, but I need to remind you of one thing.

According to our contract, Johnny only has the right to make suggestions for endorsements in Japan.

The cooperation between us is pretty good, and I don’t want our cooperation to be affected by some insignificant things! "

Chen Qiming's words were full of naked threats.

He was warning Kitagawa not to interfere with some of his own affairs.

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, I also understand your intention, Mr. Kitagawa. After all, making money is not shabby!

However, Mr. Kitagawa, you must have heard the rumors.

Yes, I am in contact with Mercedes-Benz. It is possible that I will become their spokesperson in Asia, and maybe even in some countries in Europe and the United States.

I can't sign with other car companies if I have a competing contract. "

Although he hated Kitagawa, Chen Qiming didn't want to give people the impression of being arrogant and domineering, so at the end, he explained the reason why he didn't sign with Toyota.

Since the album "Eternity" became a hit around the world, Mercedes-Benz has approached Chen Qiming several times, hoping that Chen Qiming can serve as the spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz in Asia.

Recently, negotiations between the two parties have entered the final stage.

Mercedes-Benz will sign Chen Qiming for US$500 million to serve as its spokesperson in Asia.

With Mercedes-Benz here, Chen Qiming will naturally not accept Toyota's price.

That's why he rejected Toyota.

"Mercedes?" Kitagawa was stunned.

Then he looked bitter.

Mercedes-Benz is not a Japanese company, and Johnny's is not leading this cooperation, so obviously, Johnny's will not get a penny from this endorsement.

"I understand!" Kitagawa nodded, then looked at the time, "The banquet is about to start, and I have something else to do. I'm here to wish Chen Sang you have a good time!"

Kitagawa didn't stay long, said a few words, and quickly left the hotel.

"Bagayalu! Ahhhh..."

After walking out of the hotel and getting into the car, Kitagawa's kind face suddenly turned ferocious.

hiss……

When Kitagawa got angry, he couldn't help but pinch his hands.

Unfortunately, the person he pinched was not himself, but the handsome man from the company next to him.

The handsome man's thighs were bruised and bruised by Kitagawa's pinching, but the man did not dare to make any sound and could only grit his teeth.

call……

Two minutes later, Kitagawa's anger dissipated.

He leaned back in his chair, thoughts racing through his mind.

He was wondering if there was any way to get revenge on Chen Qiming, who didn't respect him at all.

However, no matter what he thinks, he can't get around Sony.

He found that even if Chen Qiming didn't have a deep foundation in Japan, he couldn't move it with Sony's background.

"Five years, five years, I just need to wait five years until Sony's contract with you ends..."

A suppressed roar came from Kitagawa's mouth.

……

Chen Qiming had no idea about Kitagawa's anger.

Even if he knew, he didn't care.

Kitagawa would complain in private at most, but Chen Qiming wouldn't worry at all if he really let him touch him.

At worst, if he really offended me, I would just stop doing anything and terminate the cooperation contract with Johnny & Associates.
