Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chen Qiming's offer of writing songs for Andy Hui and his girlfriend Sammi Cheng successfully attracted Xu Zhian.

In addition, Chen Qiming vaguely mentioned that if Andy Hui had no possibility of joining Qidian Records, he would not contribute to Andy Hui's record in November.

After weighing the interests, Xu Zhian found Chen Qiming only one day later and agreed to join Qidian Records after the contract with Huaxing Records ended.

Chen Qiming was very happy after successfully breaking the gap between China Star and PolyGram and striking a blow to his opponent.

It happened that Li Jiaxin came back from South Korea that day, and the two directly fought for [-] rounds.

Compared with Chen Qiming's happiness here.

Cheng Donghan and Cheng Zhongji on the PolyGram side looked very depressed and even disgusting.

After Chen Qiming agreed to write two songs for Andy Hui, China Star revealed the news to the media the next day in order to build momentum.

Again, Chen Qiming's talent has been proven by the market.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, no, in the whole of Asia, Chen Qiming's creative talent is one of the best.

He is known as a golden song maker. Whether the songs he writes for himself or for others, they are basically sold well.

Michelle Reis, a Hong Kong girl with almost no musical literacy, can become a popular Asian singer who has entered the Korean market with the help of Chen Qiming.

Not to mention someone like Xu Zhian who has been in the industry for many years and has won the top ten Chinese hits.

Therefore, when the news came out, the industry generally believed that Andy Hui's new album would definitely be a hit.

Hong Kong is such a big place, and the album release dates of which singers from several companies are generally transparent as long as they are not deliberately concealed.

Of course, PolyGram can find out that Andy Hui will release songs at the same time as Ronald Cheng.

It was obviously just a small opponent worth mentioning, but suddenly because of Chen Qiming's intervention, he turned into a ferocious beast. It's strange that PolyGram is not disgusting.

In addition, Zheng Donghan is very interested in Xu Zhian.

He believes that Xu Zhian is a singer with great potential.

That's why after Huang Baigao left Warner Records and joined PolyGram, he immediately asked Huang Baigao to poach Huaxing's corner and try to pry Xu Zhian over.

oh!By the way.

Because Andy Hui and Sammi Cheng are a couple, it is almost certain that whenever Andy Hui changes jobs, Sammi Cheng will follow suit.

Although Andy Hui and Sammi Cheng can only be considered second-tier singers at present.

However, if the two of them join PolyGram, it will be able to alleviate the shortage of PolyGram's talent pool to a certain extent.

Therefore, he took poaching Xu Zhian two people seriously.

But..., Xu Zhian was already interested in joining PolyGram.

As a result, Xu Zhian actually refused to join Zhengdong Records because of Chen Qiming's intervention.

PolyGram has been operating in Hong Kong for many years, so he could naturally see that Xu Zhian's rejection was not because he wanted to stay at China Star, but for other reasons.

As for this reason, it is most likely related to Chen Qiming.

A strong rival suddenly appeared for his son's debut album, and the company's long-term poaching plan fell apart.

The two things combined made Zheng Donghan extremely disgusted and dissatisfied with Chen Qiming.

Naturally, Chen Qiming had foreseen Zheng Donghan's dissatisfaction.

As someone who has dreams of the future and is a record company owner, he knows better than most people in the outside world the current weakness of PolyGram.

What was the existence of PolyGram in the past?

80s to early 90s.

Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Jacky Cheung, Beyond, Grasshopper, Faye Wong, Priscilla Chan, Sam Hui, Alan Tam and many other top-notch figures in Hong Kong are all in PolyGram.

In addition, Polygram Seven Little Flowers such as Priscilla Chan, Vivian Chow, Shuyi Guan, Liu Xiaohui, Wang Xinping, Tang Baoru and Li Ruien are also famous.

It can be said that from the late 80s to 1993, Polygram included most of the popular singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

However, just as Huaxing Records quickly entered a period of decline after its heyday, PolyGram is no exception.

Xu Guanjie retired, Priscilla Chan's debut after retirement was not satisfactory, Andy Lau and Beyond switched to Warner Bros., Alan Tam's exposure and influence decreased.

A large number of big names left and fell, and PolyGram Seven Little Flowers began to be unpopular.

This put PolyGram directly into a situation of no return.So far, except for the two kings of PolyGram, Lai Lai and Jacky Cheung, as well as Faye Wong and Vivian Chow who have developed in Baodao.

It’s almost impossible to play good cards anymore.

PolyGram is known as the world's number one music label.

Its size is indeed the largest in the world.

But due to its huge size, the expenses are naturally huge.

The sales of the albums of its singers were poor. In addition, the emergence of VCD and DVD in recent years has made the production of discs no longer so difficult. This has left PolyGram's record production factory with almost no external orders.

The income is not proportional to the expenditure, and even PolyGram cannot bear it for a few years.

Under such circumstances, any small mistake can be regarded as a lot of work for PolyGram.

Anyway, for Chen Qiming, he couldn't be too happy to see PolyGram deflated.

No matter what his current situation is, he actually dares to provoke him.

If you don't die, who will die!
……

At the end of September, Chen Qiming came to Huaxing Records in person.

He brought two songs to Andy Hui.

One is "Slowly" and the other is "A, B, C and D".

Among them, Chen Qiming will participate in the chorus of the song "A, B, B, D", which will increase Xu Zhian's exposure.

With his participation, Xu Zhian's album will not only sell millions of copies, but at least it will attract a lot of attention.

This is also the benefit that Chen Qiming gave to Xu Zhian.

Now that Xu Zhian has decided to join Qidian Records.

Then naturally he can't be too stingy.

Of course, as a well-known copyright collector in the Chinese music industry, it is naturally impossible for Chen Qiming to give the copyrights of his two songs to China Star.

When he came, he negotiated with Huaxing that the copyright of these two songs belonged to Chen Qiming.

Huaxing only has the right to use it.

Well, it probably means that Chen Qiming authorized Xu Zhian to use his song, and Huaxing paid a copyright royalty.

At Huaxing, Chen Qiming also met Sammi Cheng, Hui Chih-an's girlfriend.

The future first-class queen of the Chinese music scene is still in the second tier at this time. She is not as down-to-earth and generous as she will be in the future, but is rather introverted.

In fact, this is also the norm in the entertainment industry.

Many celebrities are very cheerful and lively even in front of the public.

But in private, there are many people whose personalities are different from those on camera.

An example of this is Stephen Chow.

Who would have thought that in private he would be a dull guy who couldn't say a word for a long time despite being so nervous in front of the camera.

"Sheng Chen, congratulations on your new album sales exceeding 400 million!
Congratulations! "

After meeting in the Huaxing Records office, Chen Qiming and Xu Zhian walked to the recording studio.

On the way, Xu Zhian congratulated with an envious look.

Just yesterday, sales of Chen Qiming's sixth Mandarin album officially exceeded 400 million two weeks after its release.

Judging from the trend of the data, this will be another record that is difficult for ordinary singers to achieve.

"Thank you! I should be holding a celebration party next week. If you and Miss Zheng are free, you can come over and sit down."

Chen Qiming smiled and nodded.

He didn't make a fuss about his sales volume.

This is just the norm.
