Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 369 New Mandarin and English album songs (two chapters in one)

In the next few days, Chen Qiming began to take Tao Zhe to various places to promote his album.

Chen Qiming's support effect is very significant.

In one week, the total sales of the album "Beach" increased from less than [-] in three days last week to [-].

For Chen Qiming personally, to be honest, this data is not worth mentioning at all.

It has been more than three months since his "Nocturne" was released. Up to now, the sales volume in a week is still around [-] sometimes.

However, for a newcomer like Tao Zhe, this data is already pretty good.

At the very least, when the audience mentions Tao Zhe again, they will no longer simply regard him as a transparent person.

Overall, the album "Beach" may not have many golden songs.

But the overall quality is still very good.

At the very least, the quality is very good in the RnB genre.

Since Chen Qiming released songs such as "Love is Simple" and "I Just Love You", the RnB genre has gradually become an emerging song genre in the Chinese music scene.

Many singers influenced by Chen Qiming have composed this type of songs.

But so far, except for Chen Qiming himself and Wang Leehom who just emerged last year, most of the songs of this type by other singers are of worrying quality.

The appearance of Tao Zhe added some spring dew to this desert.

At first, the audience was not interested in Tao Zhe's records.

But after Chen Qiming's support, fans began to pay attention to this album and listen to the songs in the album seriously.

As fans listened carefully, the song "Beach" gradually gained a large audience.

In Taiwan and Singapore, two places where RnB music has a large audience, this song has entered the top ten of the golden song charts, ranking seventh and ninth respectively.

Overall, Tao Zhe's album is on the right track.

At the very least, it is no longer as ignored as it was at the beginning.

As for Chen Qiming himself.

After leading Tao Zhe for a week of promotions to get the album on track, he decisively stopped supporting the album and started busy with his own affairs.

First of all, it’s about the movie. The crew of "The Wind and Cloud 2" has been prepared and will be filming at any time.

The second is the album he will release this year.

One album in Mandarin and one in English.

There are also concert tours.

Chen Qiming plans to produce two albums together.

He used his free time to record one song whenever he could, and he would be able to finish all the songs for the two albums around July or August.

Chen Qiming has already selected the songs for both albums.

He composed six Mandarin songs himself.

They are:
The first song: "The Bund NO.18".

This song can be regarded as a song by Chen Qiming to support Li Jiaxin.

Li Jiaxin has only released one EP so far, and her position in the Chinese music scene is not stable. Moreover, she is about to release a Korean album in South Korea, so she should have a few more works here.

This song "Water Stall No. 18" is very suitable.

The second song is "Empty City".

Regardless of the character of the singer who will sing this song in the future, in terms of the quality of the song, this song is indeed very good and can be ranked among the golden songs.

The third song: "Departure".

Chen Qiming himself is famous for his campus songs.

His first ep and first official album, when he first became famous, he became famous from the campus to the outside world.

This time, "Departure" can be regarded as a farewell song for returning to campus.

In addition, in recent years, songs about campus farewell have also become very popular.

It is already considered a major type of song. Singing this song can promptly expand Chen Qiming's gradually declining popularity on campus.

People are growing.

Chen Qiming had always been the students' favorite singer before, but as batches of students left the campus and new students entered the campus, they began to gradually pursue other singers, and Chen Qiming's influence on campus has gradually declined.

The song "Departure" is Chen Qiming's weapon to expand the popularity of these new generation student groups.

The decline in influence is not unique to Chen Qiming, but happens to every singer.

Just like Jimmy Lin.

Once, he was the most popular singer on campus, tied with Chen Qiming.

As time goes by, those students who like them graduate and enter the society, and fewer and fewer students like him.

In the past two years, the reason why Jimmy Lin is no longer popular is not only because his works cannot keep up, but also because his audience has entered society and no longer has so much energy to chase stars.

What Chen Qiming has to do now is to prevent his influence from being squeezed out of the campus.

You must know that students have always been an important audience for singers.

If he was kicked out of campus, it might not have any impact on him in the short term.

But after a few years, he will no longer have the compensation from his backup fans. I am afraid that within a few years, he will become a has-been star.

This is not impossible.

Some people may say that Chen Qiming has many hits and cannot be outdated.

hehe!This is too much.

The entertainment industry has always been the fastest to change dynasties.

Look at Tan and Zhang back then, didn’t they have many masterpieces?

As a result, in just a few years, the Four Heavenly Kings replaced them and became the top players of the new generation.

Of course, for those who have works, their status in the entertainment industry will generally remain unchanged, and sensible fans will not casually describe them as outdated.

But Chen Qiming is a person who doesn't like to play with seniority. He still likes his current star-studded life.

Therefore, in the short term, he does not want to become outdated.

Therefore, it is necessary to continue to expand our influence among new generations.

The third song is the southern Fujian song "The Prodigal Son Returns".

As a Taiwanese singer, it would definitely be a pity if I didn't sing a Minnan song.

It just so happens that Chen Qiming has always been described as a prodigal son in the media.

The female stars with whom he has had scandals can already form a reinforced platoon.

The song "The Prodigal Son Returns" is simply not too appropriate for the occasion.

The fifth song: "Friends".

This song was prepared by Chen Qiming for this album.

Since he has already planned to continue to conquer the campus, karaoke Chen Qiming will naturally not let it go.

This song "Friends" was prepared for karaoke.

It is no exaggeration to say that if one were to select the most popular song that must be played in KTV in the dreamland of the future, "Friends" would definitely be at the forefront even if it was not at the top of the list.

Which KTV doesn’t have it on the homepage recommendation list?
In the future, who will not sing this song?
Well, maybe not after the balls.

In short, considering the popularity of this song, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hit.

Based on the popularity of this song, even before the album was released, Chen Qiming could already imagine the streets and alleys filled with this song.The sixth song: "Please say hello first".

As for this song, it was not in Chen Qiming's plan.

The reason why I chose it is entirely because its English version "Just Say Hello" is one of the English songs prepared by Chen Qiming.

Since the album was all sung in English, he simply sung the Mandarin version as well, so Chen Qiming put it on the Mandarin album.

The English album Chen Qiming also prepared six songs.

The first song is "Just Say Hello".

This song didn't win any big awards in the future, but you can't deny that it's a very good song.

At present, Chen Qiming is still in the offensive stage in the European and American music circles, and it is the time for him to gain popularity. Therefore, his main purpose of this album is to come up with pop songs to continue to increase his popularity in Europe and the United States.

In addition to "Just Say Hello", the second song prepared by Chen Qiming is "Baby".

The song that catapulted Canadian boy Justin Bieber to world-class popularity is one of the highlights of Chen Qiming's new album.

The third song, "I Hate Falling in Love".

This song is a song by Steven Huang, a rare Chinese singer in the future European and American music circles.

Maybe it can't compare to the above two songs in terms of popularity, but it belongs to the type of prelude to divine music.

Chen Qiming has always been nicknamed the God of Intros. It’s not too much to sing an English song with a good intro, right?
The fourth song, "Seorita", is translated as "Miss" in Chinese.

Senorita (Miss) is the honorific title for young women in Spanish. This is a sexy, light and sweet love song, with a romantic and passionate exotic flavor. While ensuring that it matches the characteristics of the two, it also shows a quite For the mature side.

In Future Dreams, this song became a global hit after its release, accumulating more than 20 billion plays. It was the third best-selling single in the world in 2019 and was also nominated for a Grammy.

This song is a song that Chen Qiming is preparing to enter the Spanish market.

The Spanish market has always been a very important market in Europe and the United States, and is the English market after the United States and Canada.

Chen Qiming's influence here is not very high, and this song is Chen Qiming's stepping stone.

As long as Chen Qiming opens the door to Spain, Chen Qiming believes that he will become the most popular foreign singer in Spain before long.

The fifth song "Treasure".

The track of future popular English singer Mars Song is the main song of Mars Brother's album "Mars Jukebox" which became very popular in Europe and America. It topped the Billboard chart and was nominated for a Grammy. It is a song with various styles, including RnB and blues. , electronic music, blues and other music genres.

The sixth song "Sugar".

This song is one of the classic rock songs of the future European and American pop band Magic Red.

Chen Qiming took it out mainly to enhance his status in the European and American rock circles.

Since the song "Take Me to Your Heart", he has become very famous in European and American rock circles.

Although his non-heavy metal rock approach was frowned upon by some heavy metal rock musicians, it also made him famous in the rock circle.

Many European and American rock fans are looking forward to Chen Qiming releasing another light rock ballad.

Therefore, the song "Sugar" came into being.

……

In April, Qiming Film and Television announced the launch of two projects.

"Anaconda 2" and "The Storm 2".

The simultaneous launch of two hot projects has once again made Qiming Film and Television the target of industry attention.

Countless media and film critics are looking forward to whether these two projects will overturn, or whether they will surpass their predecessors.

At the same time, Jiahe approached Chen Qiming again.

Jiahe has always been unwilling to be kicked out by Chen Qiming as an investor in the "Anaconda" series.

This time, they no longer came to the door with a gentle appearance, but approached Chen Qiming with a tough attitude.

"Mr. Chen, "Anaconda" is a joint product of Qiming Pictures, Warner Bros., China Film Group and us, Golden Harvest.

You guys, Qiming Film and Television, started this project privately behind our back, Jiahe.

To this end, we will file a lawsuit in court..."

In the office of Qiming Film and Television, Chen Qiming leaned on the sofa and watched Jiahe's lawyer opposite read out his so-called warning letter.

After the other party finished talking, Chen Qiming sat up straight.

"Before the "Anaconda" project was established, I had an agreement with Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest only had the right to share box office dividends from this film.

At the same time, the investment and production of subsequent projects will be decided by Qiming Film and Television.

Qiming Film and Television has the right to decide whether to allow any investor to enter or exit.

At that time, we had written all the terms in the contract. Now, you are actually suing me?

Don’t you know that you will lose this lawsuit? "

Chen Qiming looked at the lawyer opposite.

Facing Chen Qiming's inquiry, Jiahe's lawyer smiled and said, "We are sure to win!"

After speaking, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Ah……"

Chen Qiming sneered.

How could he not understand Jiahe's intentions.

They definitely can't win the lawsuit.

Their intention is nothing more than to delay Chen Qiming's "Anaconda 2" with a lawsuit.

The laws on Hong Kong Island stipulate that film and television projects involving design lawsuits cannot be approved for filming.

Jiahe's idea is to hold back Qiming Film and Television, and then invest in follow-up films.

Jiahe thought he kept the secret very well, but in fact, Chen Qiming had received the news a few days ago.

Golden Harvest, together with Yongsheng and Emperor, invested in a movie called "Monty Python".

Just from the name, you can tell that this movie is following a trend or plagiarizing "Anaconda".

Now that he knows Jiahe's thoughts, Chen Qiming will naturally not wait to be fucked.

Therefore, Chen Qiming transferred the project "Anaconda 2" to Qiming Film and Television in Hollywood a few days ago.

That is to say, where is the copyright? When filming, Chen Qiming does not plan to film in Hong Kong. He will film directly under the name of Hollywood production.

As a result, in Hong Kong, he has complied not to film the film and is waiting for legal resolution.

But in fact, this drama has been successfully filmed under the name of Hollywood production and will be released as soon as possible.

In turn, the next day, Chen Qiming took Jiahe to court on the grounds that "Pluto" produced by Jiahe this year plagiarized "Death" and suspected that "Monty Python" plagiarized "Anaconda", and Demand a thorough investigation of the "Monty Python" crew.

Since you like to make things out of nothing, then I will follow your lead.

Let's all put it off and see who can't bear it first.

Jiahe obviously didn't find Chen Qiming so upright. They just sued him for abandoning Jiahe and making "Anaconda 2" alone. The next day, he sued himself.

At first, Jiahe wanted to keep stalling.

But within a week, Jiahe received news that the crew of "Anaconda 2" from Qiming Film and Television did not stop filming at all, but only changed the production company from Hong Kong Qiming Film and Television to Hollywood Pacific Production Company.

Hollywood Pacific Production Company is the Hollywood production company acquired by Qiming Film and Television in Hollywood. It can be regarded as a branch of Qiming Film and Television.

Jiahe, who felt that he had been cheated by Chen Qiming, immediately understood that dragging words was no longer enough.

Therefore, Jiahe quickly dropped the accusation against Qiming Film and Television and contacted Chen Qiming, hoping to have a private chat.
