Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Hit in the True Sense of the Word

(PS: Regarding the issue of sharing, since everyone thinks there is a problem, let's change it, change it to Fulong's own newcomer contract is three seven, singer three, company seven, and the contract with Chen Qiming is four six, Chen Qiming four, in addition, copyright issues, only Chen Qiming's own songs have common copyright.) οΌ‰

……

"Duet singer?" Ge Fuhong asked.

"Yes!" Chen Qiming nodded, "The song "Little Dimple" is a duet song between men and women. ”

"Do you have the right goal?" Ge Fuhong asked.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming was a little hesitant.

He said his ideal goal last time, but Chen Xiunan was so angry that he quit the chat.

Now, he thinks it's better to have another goal.

After all, looking for Teresa Teng to sing together, this goal is indeed a bit big.

If Teresa Teng continues to be active in the music scene, there should be some hope.

But Teresa Teng has gradually retired in recent years, and the difficulty of cooperating with her is really not ordinary.

Glancing at Chen Xiunan, who was looking at the excitement next to him, Chen Qiming said, "Meng Tingwei!" She has a sweet voice, which I think fits perfectly. ”

"You kid, didn't you tell me last time that you wanted to cooperate with Teresa Teng? What a hexagram! ”

Chen Xiunan, who originally wanted to see Ge Fuhong's liveliness, was immediately angry when he heard this name.

This guy can actually watch people talk.

Ge Fuhong, who was in front of the conference table, didn't hear Chen Xiunan's words, but turned his head to look at Liu Ciwei, "Meng Tingwei is the person from Shangge Records, right?" ”

Liu Ciwei nodded, "Yes, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult to find her to sing together, she has been very popular recently." ”

Hearing this, Ge Fuhong nodded and looked at Chen Qiming and Chen Xiunan, "I'll find someone to contact Shangge to see if she is free, but don't report too much hope." She's a cash cow for Shangge Records now, I'm afraid it's not so easy to please. ”

Chen Qiming nodded, indicating that he understood.

At present, in addition to the branches of international record companies such as PolyGram, the largest local record companies on the entire island are Rolling Stone, UFO and Shangge.

Needless to say, Rolling Stone was once the No. 1 record company on Treasure Island, and singers such as Luo Dayou, Zhou Huajian, Chen Shuhua, and Lin Yilian were all from Rolling Stone.

The flying saucer was founded together by Wu Chuchu and Peng Guohua, who originally worked at Rolling Stone Records, after leaving Rolling Stone Records, due to disagreement with the business philosophy of Rolling Stone.

One of the two companies takes the powerful route, and the other focuses on the idol route, which are the two leading records of Treasure Island in the 80s.

Compared with Rolling Stone and UFO, which began to develop in the early to mid-80s, they became the largest record companies in Baodao, and were known as the three major record companies along with Polygram.

Shangge Records was founded in 1985 and has two brands, Shangge and Huaxing. (This Huaxing is not Huaxing in Hong Kong)

Originally, there was only one brand, Gao Shengmei, who was the first singer of this company, and due to the best-selling of Gao Shengmei's records, Shangge accumulated a lot of money and developed rapidly.

Huaxing is mainly responsible for cultivating newcomers, the first artist is Li Yijun, and Shangge changed directions, mainly responsible for film and television and video tape business.

After years of continuous development, this record label has now become a record label on a par with Rolling Stone and UFO.

Its behind-the-scenes talents include Zuo Hongyuan, Chen Jinxing, Lu Guoliang, Li Fuxing, Huang Jiewen, etc.

These musicians have created a large number of powerful singers for Shangge, and they are mainly female singers, and their singers are basically cultivated by themselves, such as Gao Shengmei, Li Yijun, Chen Mingzhen, Meng Tingwei, Zhang Zhen, etc.

At present, Meng Tingwei is the most popular singer in Shangge.

It debuted in 90 and became popular last year with "You Look at the Face of the Moon".

If that's all there is, it's not out of the question for Fulong to invite her to sing a song.

But just a few days ago, her new album was released.

The song "Come to Taipei to See the Rain in Winter" made her quickly popular all over the country and became the most popular singer in May.

Even Chen Qiming, his most popular song "Princess" has been overwhelmed by this song on the major song lists.

This shows how popular she is now.

Of course, the reason why Chen Qiming wants to sing with her is entirely because she is popular.

Chen Qiming still understands the meaning of strong alliances.

……

After Ge Fuhong personally asked about the record.

Fulong's side quickly launched various measures to carry out public relations.

The first is to explain in the media that they are not aware of the price increase behavior of distributors, and issue a statement saying that UFO has terminated its cooperation with several distributors who have raised prices indiscriminately.

Secondly, Fulong also quickly contacted the flying saucer and asked them to hurry up the shipment.

After continuous public relations and operations, this matter has finally been wiped out of some of its impact.

And the flying saucer, under the pressure of Fulong, also quickly spread out the records that had just been printed.

However, it may be due to the negative impact of the previous distributor's price increases, and the sales figures of the EP that have been reintroduced to the market are starting to slow down, although they are also huge.

However, even so, the results of this EP are still very encouraging.

In the statistics of the Record Association that week, this EP directly parachuted into the runner-up position of the Dragon and Tiger album best-selling list that week with the data of 90,000 cassette tapes and CD switchboards.

As for the champions...... is Meng Tingwei's "Come to Taipei to See the Rain in Winter".

However, although it is only the runner-up, this data is enough to make Chen Qiming, a newcomer, proud.

After all, a newcomer can get such impressive data in the first week, and he can also rank among the many singers in the entire treasure island.

The explosion of record data made Chen Qiming popular in the real sense.

"Danger! The whirlwind is blowing again! Chen Qiming's EP album reached 90,000 in the first week. β€”Times Weekly.

"No tide, no money, poor boy's trend." -- The first line of the trend.

"became popular overnight, what Chen Qiming and Fulong's boss Ge Fuhong had to say." -- Taipei News.

In one newspaper after another, there are all kinds of news about Chen Qiming.

There are true, there are false, there are speculations, there are slanders.

However, although Chen Qiming knows the popularity of the record and various media reports, he also knows that he is popular.

But he doesn't have much intuitive feeling about how popular he is.

Until this night, because he didn't have enough food at the company, he had to go to the night market near the dormitory to eat.

It was only at this time that he intuitively felt how popular he was.

In the night market, several of his songs such as "The Princess" and "No Tide No Money" are played everywhere, and it is annoying to listen to them over and over again.

His poster is juxtaposed with the posters of Lin Zhiying, the Little Tigers, Aaron Kwok and others, and is posted on the door of various barber shops, with the words "The latest Chen Qiming hairstyle" written below.

In addition, on roadside billboards, posters of him riding a Sanyang motorcycle abound.

Even, when he was eating at the stall, he heard a few little girls next to him arguing about who was more handsome than Lin Zhiying, Wu Qilong, and Su Youpeng.

Even the owner of the stall where he was sitting hummed while copying egg fried rice, "The night is too beautiful, no matter how dangerous it is, there are always people who stay up all night with black eyes." ”

At this moment, Chen Qiming finally understood that he was really popular.

Maybe he can't compare to Lin Zhiying and others now, but in terms of popularity, he is not much different from him.

Chen Qiming, who was beautiful, ate an egg fried rice, and then walked to the dormitory.

On the way, he also met a middle school student.

This middle school student should have just come out of the barber shop, got a haircut like him, and while walking, he also compared the movements of Chen Qiming when he took the poster on the road from time to time, muttering, "I will be Zhongshan Chen Qiming in the future." ”

Seeing this scene, Chen Qiming couldn't help laughing.

Zhongshan's is Zhongshan Chen Qiming.

Isn't that New Taipei Chen Qiming called New Taipei?

If there is really Chen Qiming in New Taipei, then what is he?
