Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Looking at Huang Qiwei who looked like he was sincerely exchanging information, Wang Jiawen pondered for a moment and said:

"Our newspaper is different from you. We plan to publish an album song analysis around Chen Qiming's new album.

We invited many well-known music critics, but considering that the reputation of a song among fans is very important, the newspaper sent me here to find out what the fans think of this record. "

“It seems that our themes are different, but the goal is the same, and we also need these fans’ opinions on Chen Qiming’s new album.

Otherwise, how about you and I working together?
We first visited the fans separately, and after two hours, we exchanged information with each other. "

Huang Qiwei suggested.

Hearing this, Wang Jiawen thought for a moment, then nodded.

As a result, the two hit it off and began visiting fans for their respective newspaper offices.

There are a lot of people in the video store today.

A large number of Chen Qiming's fans from all over surrounded the music store. To the melody of Chen Qiming's new songs, they lined up to enter the store and buy records.

Wang Jiawen was waiting in the corner of the video store.

Every time someone came out of the video store, he would greet them and ask them what they thought of Chen Qiming's new record while making notes in the notebook in his hand.

After sending a boy away, Wang Jiawen saw a girl dressed fashionably and with short yellow hair, who looked a bit like Karen Mok in Stephen Chow's movie "The Night of the Soul", walking out with two records by Chen Qiming.

So, he hurriedly greeted him.

“Miss, I saw you purchased Chen Qiming’s new record.

Do you like Mr. Chen Qiming very much? "

"I like it! I've liked Chen Qiming since I was sixteen. I haven't missed any of his records in the past few years."

From her answer, Wang Jiawen could tell that this woman really liked Chen Qiming.

So, he continued to ask: "Have you listened to the songs on his new record? What do you think?"

Hearing this, the woman looked at him like an idiot, "Isn't this record just released today? I just came out of the video store now, how could I have listened to it?

As for your evaluation of this record.

What more evaluation does Chen Qiming’s album need? He is not one of those cats and dogs singers whose records have disappointed us.

I arrived here early this morning and queued up. The video store had been playing his album, and I listened to about four songs.

Although the songs are in English and Japanese, I am not interested in these languages.

But who can deny that these songs are not good? "

After saying that, the woman glanced at the camera in Wang Jiawen's hand and said with a look of disdain: "You reporters just have nothing to do. Why do you need to review Chen Qiming's records? People who want to listen don't care about you at all. The media’s comments are a bunch of guys who don’t understand anything.”

After saying that, the woman strode away without looking back.

On the spot, Wang Jiawen looked embarrassed.

However, after looking embarrassed, he couldn't help but think deeply about the woman's words.

He found that although the woman's words didn't sound good, they were really very reasonable.

I don’t know since when, it seems that Chen Qiming’s records no longer need the evaluation of music critics.

On the contrary, music critics' evaluations are sometimes regarded as nonsense by fans.

This is mainly because music critics inevitably jumped out to criticize Chen Qiming's previous albums.

But these records are very popular with fans.

Several albums in a row are extremely classic.

The continuous success has given fans the idea that Chen Qiming's songs are not bad at all.

Not even music critics' reviews can reverse this trend among fans.

After remaining silent for a while, Wang Jiawen did not continue to interview other people about their opinions on this record.

He quickly walked to the other side of the video store, escaped with two hundred yuan, and exchanged seats with a fan who was about to enter the store.

Then when it was his turn, he quickly walked into the video store.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a huge video store with three rows of record shelves neatly arranged. The shelves are almost entirely filled with Chen Qiming's records.

There are new records released today, records released in the past, or collections of Chen Qiming's songs.

Wang Jiawen was not surprised to see this scene.

Every year, when Chen Qiming releases a new record, driven by the new record, Chen Qiming's old records will have huge sales.

In order to make money, every time during this period, major video store owners would order a large number of Chen Qiming's past records from record companies.

Apparently the same goes for this video store.

They placed a large number of Chen Qiming's previous records in the most conspicuous places, with the purpose of attracting the attention of fans who came for Chen Qiming's new records and then buying them.

"Sir, how many copies of "Chen Qiming 1999" do you need?"

The video store seems to have expected that there will be a lot of people today, and there will be more than one store employee.

They have a clear division of labor.

Someone collects money, and someone is dedicated to entertaining the guests who come in.

There are also people standing in front of the shelves where Chen Qiming's new records are placed to supervise the guests who come in so that they don't steal records.

Well, it’s supervision.

These days, don’t think that no one will steal records.

Especially Chen Qiming's records.

A VCD album by Chen Qiming sells for more than 100 Hong Kong dollars.

For some young people with little money, this is definitely a lot of pocket money.

They have no money but like Chen Qiming. In order to hear their idol's songs, they sometimes take risks.

Even if they have money to buy records, they will never mind a few more.

Take these records out and give them to friends or keep them for yourself. They are all very good things.

VCD discs are generally not big. As long as you quietly stuff them into your school uniform on your chest, you won't be able to tell them at all.

In order to do business in a store, it is impossible to search everyone who comes in and out.

In this way, in order to prevent records from being stolen, it is essential to arrange for someone to be on the shelf to supervise customers who choose records.

"Give me three!"

Wang Jiawen didn't want to buy it because he was not a big fan of Chen Qiming.

Although he also listens to Chen Qiming's songs.

But in order to save money, he usually waits for three or four months after the record is released and waits for the price of the record to drop before buying it, which is more cost-effective.

However, just when Wang Jiawen was about to say that he would not buy it, he suddenly thought of the two children from his sister's family.

These two guys have birthdays coming up soon.

It just so happens that their favorite is Chen Qiming. It might be a good idea to buy them two records as their birthday gifts now.

“What style do you need for the cover?”

the clerk asked.

"What styles do they have?" Hearing this, Wang Jiawen asked doubtfully.

"Sir, Chen Qiming's album has a total of five different styles, fresh style, dark style, rock style, and even Chen Qiming's most classic handsome style.

Different styles of records have different greeting cards and posters. "The clerk explained.

Hearing this, Wang Jiawen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He finally understood why Chen Qiming was so popular among young people.

With this kind of conformity to the trend and various responses made to cater to young people, it is strange that he is not liked.
