Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 390 Five blockbuster schedules
Chen Qiming did not participate too much in the recording of Xu Zhian's two songs.

After all, Andy Hui's album was led by China Star. If Chen Qiming participated too much, he would be misunderstood by China Star.

Moreover, although he wants Andy Hui to beat up PolyGram's Zheng Zhongji for him, this does not mean that Chen Qiming will help China Star produce records for free.

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Hua Xing is getting worse and worse.

Ever since Huaxing was acquired by Kuok's SCMP Group, the company has become very popular.

If everyone hadn't known that the boss of SCMP Group was the Guo family, outsiders might have thought that Boss Shao was in control of the company.

How far did Huaxing deduct?

Wu Yu, the current general manager of Huaxing, wants Chen Qiming to be the producer of Xu Zhian's record. On the other hand, he wants Chen Qiming to work purely as a part-time job without paying a penny.

Originally, Chen Qiming wanted to be the producer himself at Xu Zhian's request.

When Hua Xing looked at the sample, he didn’t talk about money at all, and it looked like you were making it for us for free.

Chen Qiming, who was upset, simply left after recording "A, B, C, D" with Andy Hui, out of sight and out of mind.

Of course, he is not worried that Huaxing will not be able to produce this album.

After all, Huaxing was once a dominant record company, and it still had some strength.

The company has many well-known producers in the industry. Now that Chen Qiming has finished the lyrics, music and arrangement of the two songs he has produced, even if he does not participate in the post-production of the album, I believe that under the production of Huaxing, this album The quality of the records isn't bad either.

In October, the sales of the album "Hello, Friend" continued to skyrocket. By October 500, the album officially exceeded 500 million, becoming another album by Chen Qiming with sales of more than [-] million.

It is worth mentioning that some time ago, although Chen Qiming's image was questioned due to a fan beating incident.

But because of this incident, he ranks first among the stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of attention.

With this kind of attention, the sales of the album "Hello, Friend" also experienced a huge explosion.

This album was released on September [-]th.

It’s been less than a month so far.

Total sales exceeded 500 million.

This sales volume ranks higher than any other, surpassing Chen Qiming's current best-selling album "Star Storm".

Because of the explosion in sales, the songs in this record have also become the most popular songs on the street.

Especially the song "Friends."

It is reported that this song has been firmly at the top of the karaoke charts in Hong Kong and Taiwan since its release.

If you walk into a karaoke bar at random, you will definitely hear someone yelling at the top of their lungs, "Friends will go together for life..."

Some songs are just like that, they hit the heart directly and can make men, women and children fall in love with them.

"Friends" is obviously that kind of song.

The catchy melody itself, coupled with Chen Qiming's influence, made this song an instant hit.

In less than a month, this song has become a popular song in all Chinese-speaking regions.

Among Chen Qiming's many masterpieces, the popularity of this song jumped up immediately, comparable to songs such as "Sad Pacific", "Heart Is Too Soft", and "The Trouble of the Moon".

Because of the popularity of "Friends", all the people who originally said in the media that Chen Qiming's album was not of good quality suddenly disappeared.

Instead, some ridiculing remarks about Faye Wong's overestimation of her abilities appeared in the newspapers.

"Faye Wong is crazy about being a celebrity, and she actually wants to step on Chen Qiming!"

"I have long said that Chen Qiming is the eternal god!"

"Faye Wong's album is actually just like that!"

"Sales, word-of-mouth, and popularity, Chen Qiming surpasses Faye Wong in all aspects, and he is worthy of being the No. 1 in the Chinese music industry!"

That's how the entertainment industry is, downtrodden and flattering.

When public opinion favored Faye Wong, the media almost turned Faye Wong into a god.

After Faye Wong's popularity has passed and Chen Qiming's records continue to be as popular as previous records, those who still doubted him before seemed to have forgotten what they had said before, and started to come back to praise Chen Qiming.

Although Chen Qiming was concerned about these practices of the media, he did not pay attention to them.

As for Faye Wong.

The little friendship he and she had accumulated in "Chungking Express" has completely disappeared.

Because of Dou Wei's big mouth, and because she wants to step on Chen Qiming and get the upper hand, the two are now strangers, and can even be said to have become hostile.

Under this kind of relationship, Chen Qiming wished that she would disappear from the entertainment industry.

After the time entered October, Chen Qiming's work focus temporarily shifted from music to movies.

This year, Qiming Film and Television has led the filming of three films: "Anaconda 2", "Alone" and "The Storm 2".In addition, it also participated in the investment of Yong Sheng's "Adventure King", "Young and Dangerous" produced by Wang Jing's best partner, and Stephen Chow's God of Cookery.

Among these movies, except for the two best-selling movies "Young and Dangerous", they were released at the beginning of the year and in the middle of the year.

Other movies are basically concentrated in the second half of the year.

In particular, the three movies of Qiming Film and Television were all released after October.

Beginning in October, Qiming's three films, Stephen Chow's "The God of Cookery" and "The King of Adventures" will be released in Pacific theaters one after another.

The five months from October to March are considered prime time at the box office.

In order to catch up with this schedule, Pacific Cinemas was very busy filming.

The schedule of all five movies has been greatly squeezed.

For the sake of fairness, and to avoid other cooperative companies under the theater chain questioning the unfairness of the theater chain.

Although the movies "Anaconda 2" and "The Storm 2" were both super blockbusters that were extremely popular.

However, Pacific Cinemas still chose to distribute the schedules evenly.

Of course, this allocation must also be planned, otherwise it will easily cause misunderstandings.

Although there are five months from October to February.

But February, the Chinese New Year period, is definitely the hottest month at the box office.

After discussions between Yongsheng and Xinghui Film Company, it was finally decided to place Stephen Chow's "The God of Cookery" and Andy Lau's "The Lonely Agent" this month.

"The Lonely Agent" will be released in mid-January and will be released until New Year's Eve on the [-]th, and then "The God of Cookery" will be released on New Year's Day.

There is a reason why it is distributed like this.

Among the five movies, there is no doubt that "Anaconda 2" is the most watched.

After all, this film is the sequel to last year's top ten global box office hit.

However, considering that this movie has horror and bloody elements, it is not suitable to be placed during the Chinese New Year period.

Therefore, "Anaconda 2" was placed in the Christmas slot in November.

Among the remaining movies, Stephen Chow's "The God of Cookery" is a comedy through and through.

Moreover, as we all know, the Spring Festival slot is Stephen Chow's world. If this slot is not given to him, it will be unjustifiable.

Therefore, the most explosive period at the box office, which is closest to the Chinese New Year, is undoubtedly given to "The God of Cookery".

There are three films left, and "The Storm 2" has the most advantage.

This movie is not only a gathering of big names, including Chen Qiming and Lai Ming, but it is also the sequel to last year's hit movie.

Therefore, there is no doubt that he won the slot after the Chinese New Year.

And "The Storm 2" is a Qiming Films movie, so Chen Qiming doesn't have to worry about causing dissatisfaction after adjusting its schedule.

Therefore, after some discussion, Chen Qiming decided to exchange it with "The Lonely Agent".

The reason for this is because Chen Qiming has expectations for the movie "The Lonely Agent".

This movie is a standard American popcorn movie.

Chen Qiming has contacted Warner to have the film released in North America in November.

If it does well at the box office in North America.

That would be very beneficial to the release in Asia.

In this way, it is obviously most appropriate to place "The Lonely Agent" in the prime time after the Spring Festival.

It can also maximize benefits.

After all, the Spring Festival is already a box office hit. If this movie succeeds in North America, more viewers and movie fans will obviously go to the cinema for this purpose.

In addition, compared to the appeal of "Wind and Cloud 2" itself, "The Lonely Agent" is obviously a lot worse.

In order to maximize profits, adjusting it to the most popular schedule is obviously more beneficial to Pacific Cinemas.

As for "Adventure King".

Originally, Yongsheng was striving for prime time.

But there is no way, even though this film has Jet Li.

But several other movies also have popular box-office handlers, and they don't have an advantage at all.

Therefore, Yong Sheng had no choice but to accept that the film would be released in December.
