Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Not long after leaving the "Black Gold" crew, Chen Qiming was stopped in the parking lot by reporters.

"A Ming, what do you think about Zhou Xiaojie's recent remarks on TV?"

Several reporters crowded in front of Chen Qiming, and the one at the front asked loudly.

He asked other reporters what they were thinking.

All reporters present were extremely eager to hear his evaluation of Zhou Xiaojie from Chen Qiming.

Can you not look forward to it?

Ever since Zhou Xiaojie said those words on TV, this matter has become the hottest thing in the Chinese entertainment industry recently.

Every celebrity will make some comments on this matter.

Among them are people like Luo Dayou who publicly support Chen Qiming.

However, no matter what others say, they are always outsiders.

No one’s remarks can attract more attention than those of Chen Qiming, the person involved.

Therefore, reporters are extremely looking forward to hearing Chen Qiming's words of scolding Zhou Xiaojie.

"How do you watch it? Of course, sit in front of the TV and watch it!" Chen Qiming complained in his heart.

But he said: "Zhou Xiaojie? Sorry! I'm busy with the concert in the second half of the year, so I don't pay much attention to the recent news.

Excuse me, is there any big news happening that I don’t know about?

Who is Zhou Xiaojie? "

"Forehead……"

Chen Qiming's "I don't know Zhou Xiaojie" look on his face left several reporters speechless for a moment.

As expected, he is the number one person in the Chinese music scene, and he pretends to be awesome so naturally.

If you don’t know Zhou Xiaojie, this is simply a naked insult to Zhou Xiaojie!

"Zhou Xiaojie is a newcomer just released by PolyGram Records this year. The total sales of his first album "Loneliness" have exceeded three million copies, making him the hottest newcomer this year.

Just like you back then, his achievements are incredible.

He talked about you on a previous TV show. He said that he didn't like you and thought that your current results were entirely due to luck.

Do you have anything to say about this? Will you feel angry about this? "

A reporter introduced and explained it to Chen Qiming.

"What a benefit! Congratulations on his record sales!

As for whether he likes me or not, that's entirely up to him. I can't make everyone in the world like me.

Just like you can't stop someone from not believing the veracity of your reporting. "

Chen Qiming stood there and answered with a smile.

"What about the fact that you are lucky to have achieved what you have now? Do you think it is luck to have achieved what you have now?"

When the reporters saw Chen Qiming starting to answer, they immediately became excited. One of them asked excitedly.

"Luck?" Chen Qiming glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and asked: "Do you think it is because of luck that I have reached this point and achieved my current results?"

The reporter shook his head subconsciously, "No, I don't think it's because of luck. You..."

"That's it!" Before he could continue, Chen Qiming said: "If he thinks I achieved my results by luck, maybe he can try to see if he can also achieve my results by luck.

Not much, just eight million! There is no need for his results to be the same as mine. If his next album can sell eight million copies, then I will admit that he is right. I just relied on luck to achieve my current results. "

As he said that, Chen Qiming smiled and said, "Eight million shouldn't be too high! I remember that my total record sales in recent years have never been less than 12 million.

I gave him a discount of four million, and since his first album did so well, I think he should be able to do it! "

"You can do it like crazy!"

After hearing Chen Qiming's words, the reporters present were happy for Chen Qiming's public response to Zhou Xiaojie, but at the same time they couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

Eight million.

This data seems to be ordinary for Chen Qiming, not even comparable to the data of any of his records in the past few years.

But he is Chen Qiming!

In the Chinese music scene, except for Chen Qiming, what is the highest record sales volume currently?

It seems that there are only Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Stephen Chow.

The highest sales volume of a single album by these people is more than 7 million copies.

Some professionals have calculated that in the current Chinese music scene, sales of seven million copies are already the limit.

If you think about it further, you basically have to add piracy.

As for why Chen Qiming is different.

He is an example.

He is the most popular in the Chinese-speaking area, and men, women and children of all ages will pay for his records.

In addition, even for Chen Qiming, the reason why the sales of his subsequent albums are so high is actually from the global scale.

Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Europe and other regions.

Chen Qiming's Mandarin albums are also very popular in these areas.

Because of Chen Qiming's fame, many foreigners will buy his Mandarin records.

It is also because Chen Qiming's Mandarin records have sold well around the world and Chinese songs have successfully spread to the world that he has such a high status in the Chinese music world.

Like Jackie Chan in a dream.

After he became famous in Hollywood, by the way, foreign movie fans became very interested in the Chinese movies he starred in, which indirectly made the Hong Kong movies he starred in become very popular in the video market in the United States and other places.

Jackie Chan became an international superstar. To be honest, it really didn't rely on the few movies that were big hits at the Hollywood box office.

The box office, the box office of Jackie Chan's movies in Hollywood is actually just like that.

The channel that really made him a superstar mainly relied on the VCD and video tape market.

Just like in the Mainland at this time, almost most people have never seen Jackie Chan's movies in the cinema, but he is so popular in the Mainland.

The reason is that they rely on VCDs (mostly pirated VCDs).

In the same way, Chen Qiming's English records became popular in Europe and the United States.

Naturally, those fans who like him will search for all the songs he sings, whether in Chinese or English.

Gradually, Chen Qiming's Chinese records naturally became popular in these places.

Therefore, Chen Qiming is special.

Unless other singers in the Chinese music scene are as hugely popular internationally as he is, it is almost impossible to surpass him in sales.

"Guys, I have an event to attend, so I won't talk to you anymore. How about you let me go out?"

He responded positively and showed his contempt for Zhou Xiaojie. Chen Qiming did not want to talk more about this topic.

If this topic hadn't been a hot topic recently, and Zhou Xiaojie's words had angered many of his friends, causing them to quit one after another, Chen Qiming would never have mentioned this matter in public.

Bing porcelain happens every year, and one more word from him will bring huge heat to the other party.

After receiving the response, the reporters did not make things difficult for Chen Qiming. They all moved out of the way to let him leave.

After Chen Qiming left, everyone looked at each other and dispersed quickly.

Many days after the Zhou Xiaojie incident, Chen Qiming finally responded today, and his tone was full of contempt for Zhou Xiaojie. This is big news.

For the reporters present, this is a good opportunity for promotion and salary increase.

The next day, Chen Qiming's response quickly appeared in major entertainment newspapers.

"Chen Qiming responded to Zhou Xiaojie: Wait until your record sales exceed 8 million before you talk to me"

"Chen Qiming: I bet a dime that Zhou Xiaojie will hit the next record"

"Chen Qiming didn't know Zhou Xiaojie, and Zhou Xiaojie became a flea"    The media always likes to exaggerate.

Chen Qiming clearly said that if Zhou Xiaojie's next album breaks 8 million, he will admit that his success is due to luck.

As a result, when it came to the newspaper, it turned out that Chen Qiming asked Zhou Xiaojie to talk to him after his record sales exceeded 8 million.

For Chen Qiming, what left him even more speechless was the words "I bet a dime."

When had he ever said such a thing?

Would he be so stingy if he is a billionaire? It’s a hundred yuan to bet!

Chen Qiming's response was reported by the media and newspapers, and in less than a day, the news reached Hong Kong.

Zhou Xiaojie became famous because of these news.

But this name is a bad name.

Everyone knows that a man named Zhou Xiaojie provoked Chen Qiming on TV, and Chen Qiming responded by saying, "Don't come talk to me if you don't have 8 million record sales."

“I think Ming Tsai’s words are absolutely correct, some people will go to heaven if they achieve a little bit of success.

Three million, haha, since Mingzai’s debut, no album has sold less than five million copies!

The trophies he has won at major awards are overwhelming.

Now some people actually question him.

In my opinion, this is simply because I don’t know what it means, and I don’t know how to write the word “respect”.

Just like Ming Tsai said, if he really wants to question Ming Tsai, then please ask his record sales to reach 8 million. No, there is no need for 8 million. As long as he has 5 million, I think he is qualified to question Chen Qiming. "

Xu Zhian, who ended his contract with China Star at the end of last year, directly criticized Zhou Xiaojie when asked by the host when he participated in TVB's "Golden Songs" on Saturday night.

To be honest, Zhou Xiaojie didn't actually do anything outrageous.

If Zhou Xiaojie simply didn't like Chen Qiming, no one would actually target him.

But it happened that he questioned Chen Qiming's results.

Although the Chinese music scene is not a place that pays special attention to seniority.

But seniority will always exist.

How popular was Chen Qiming in 1993?

At that time, he was only in his second year of debut when he defeated Jacky Cheung head-on and became the person with the highest single album sales in the Chinese music industry.

Even though Chen Qiming achieved such results, he was still respectful and respectful when meeting his seniors.

Zhou Xiaojie did well this year.

But he is just a newcomer.

A newcomer who has just released one album is so arrogant. He dares to question the existence of a person who has beaten many big-name singers for many years and has reached the top of the Chinese music scene.

For such a person, if he achieves a little more success, wouldn't it be like going to heaven?

Moreover, this guy even questioned Chen Qiming, what about other singers?

You must know that other singers have been overwhelmed by Chen Qiming in recent years.

Even Chen Qiming is not taken seriously by him, what about the others?

Are others even more rubbish?

It can be said that what Zhou Xiaojie said offended was not Chen Qiming alone, but the entire music industry.

Zhou Xiaojie is simply crazy if one person wants to fight against the entire music industry.

And so it is.

After Chen Qiming responded positively to Zhou Xiaojie.

In the next few days, singers began to speak out one after another.

"'Loneliness'? I heard Loneliness! What the hell!" - Wang Jie attending the new record press conference.

"I've been preparing for a movie recently, and I'm not too sure about what happened, but I think Chen Qiming's achievements are unquestionable. He has proven everything!" - Anita Mui, who was met by chance on the street.

"I don't like newcomers who talk nonsense. Zhou Xiaojie was not invited to the new movie. He is not suitable for the role in the movie." - Jackie Chan, who is currently filming "Who Am I" in Hollywood.

"He has good grades, but his emotional intelligence is too low!" - Gu Jiahui, a famous composer who attended a talk show.

A large number of singers and celebrities spoke publicly, making Zhou Xiaojie a street rat.

It is said that he dare not go out in Hong Kong. As soon as he goes out, a large number of reporters will chase him and ask him various questions.

Affected by public opinion, Zhou Xiaojie's album "Loneliness", which was still a hot seller in the market, suffered a serious decline.

In the latest week's sales list, the sales of this album dropped directly from the first position to the fifth place.

In addition, because his reputation is on the decline, movies that originally wanted to invite him because of his popularity have rejected him.

Among them is Jackie Chan's "Who Am I".

Zhou Xiaojie's reputation suddenly collapsed and became a hot topic in major media.

Many people feel that Zhou Xiaojie has become a typical person who steals chicken but loses rice.

Why do you say that!

According to the analysis of many media people, when Zhou Xiaojie first questioned Chen Qiming, he should actually go there to gain popularity.

Just like Faye Wong last year.

Last year, Faye Wong took advantage of Chen Qiming's popularity, although her husband was beaten up by Chen Qiming's fans and Faye Wong's reputation was not very good.

But it is undeniable that Faye Wong caught that wave of popularity.

Because of that wave of popularity, Faye Wong's net worth has experienced a good increase.

On the fourth day of the month, Faye Wong's record contract with PolyGram officially came to an end.

Faye Wong did not choose to renew her contract with Polygram, but joined EMI Records with a high signing bonus of 70 million.

It's a pity that Zhou Xiaojie did learn to imitate Faye Wong, but the development of things went too far.

He is not Faye Wong.

At the beginning, Faye Wong took advantage of Chen Qiming's popularity, and her slogan was to surpass Chen Qiming to become the number one person in the Chinese music scene, and to use Faye Wong's advantages in the direction of literature and art.

Faye Wong was originally the queen of the Chinese-speaking Asia. When Sylvia Yeh, Lin Yilian and others were in sluggish performance, she had a tendency to become the number one female singer in the Chinese-speaking music industry.

With this status and the fact that she is good at literary songs, she is qualified to claim that she is the number one person in the Chinese music industry.

As for Zhou Xiaojie, except for his first album, which sold three million copies, he has nothing else.

In terms of qualifications, there are no qualifications. In terms of works, who can compare with "Loneliness"? Unless it's worse than loneliness.

Therefore, it is obvious that he failed to gain popularity.

After Zhou Xiaojie's reputation collapsed, while the media was discussing it, they also turned their attention to PolyGram Records.

This record company, which dominated Hong Kong and even the Chinese music scene in the early 1990s, was absolutely hugely affected by this incident.

Originally, the company was still the top company in the industry last year.

As a result, Lai Ming and Faye Wong did not renew their contracts, and Jacky Cheung was busy working on musicals.

The veteran singers are keeping a low profile, but among the newcomers, Ronald Cheng's debut did not meet expectations.

Finally, Zhou Xiaojie was born, but...

PolyGram invested a lot of resources in Zhou Xiaojie.

It seemed like everything was successful, but with one word, it all came crashing down.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Xiaojie can still survive in the entertainment industry, but if he wants to climb up again, it may be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

With so many singers boycotting him and even fans being unhappy with him.

Let alone five million or even eight million for his next album, I'm afraid even one million will be a problem.

Under such circumstances, everyone is paying attention to PolyGram, wanting to see the jokes of this dominant company in the early 1990s.
