Chapter 29 Platinum Record Certification

May 20 is a day that is seen by couples as expressions of love in a broken dream.

And now, it's a very ordinary and ordinary day.

However, today is not ordinary for Chen Qiming.

This morning, as soon as he arrived at the company, he was called to his office by Liu Ciwei.

"Now, your honor!" He handed Chen Qiming an unopened record.

Seeing that Chen Qiming was a little puzzled, Liu Ciwei smiled and said, "Take it apart and take a look!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming opened the package with curiosity.

As soon as he opened it, his eyes were firmly attracted to the records inside.

This is a record of gold on the surface, golden and beautiful.

"Gold Record?" Chen Qiming raised his head and looked at Liu Ciwei.

"It's not a gold record, it's a platinum record!" Liu Ciwei responded with a smile, "Just yesterday afternoon, the sales of "No Tide, No Money" have exceeded 100,000 copies, and this record is the 100,000th and 100,000th. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but look at the record in his hand.

Platinum Records is currently a means of rewarding singers in many countries and regions around the world for recording producers.

If a singer records a record that can be sold above the local gold record standard, the record production unit will add a layer of gold to the surface of the first record after the standard data and reward the singer.

At the same time, platinum certification is also the International Phonographic Association's recognition of a singer's sales, which is also an honor.

In Treasure Island, the standard is 50,000 copies sold for gold records and 100,000 copies for platinum records.

Compared with North America, it may be pitiful to start with a million at every turn, but in Baodao and even the entire Chinese-speaking region, the 100,000 platinum record certifiers are basically the best in the industry without exception.

From a historical point of view, it seems that there are many people who have won the honor of platinum records.

But if you look at the entire industry, there are really few people who have this honor, less than one percent of all employees in this industry.

And everyone who won the platinum award, without exception, they were all the rage and were the best in the music scene at that time.

However, Chen Qiming didn't pay much attention to any of this.

He cared about the value of the record and asked, "With so much gold plating, it must be expensive!" ”

"Of course, the cost of this record has reached more than 400,000 Taiwan dollars, plus the International Phonographic Association's certification of platinum records is very troublesome, and all the phone bills are calculated, this record is at least 700,000 Taiwan dollars, or even exceeded!" Liu Ciwei nodded.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming's heart suddenly became hot, and he raised his head and asked, "You say, if I sell it, will anyone buy it at a high price?" ”

"What did you say?" Liu Ciwei didn't react at first, but when he reacted, his eyes immediately widened, "You want to sell it?" ”

"Can't you?" Chen Qiming was a little puzzled, if this thing was his own, then he should have the right to sell it!

"I think you're crazy, you know what it is? This is a platinum record, it is the supreme honor of the music world, and its value cannot be measured by money! ”

Liu Ciwei looked very irritable.

After the irritability, he suddenly turned his eyes, "If you want to sell, sell me 800,000 Taiwan dollars!" Whoever you sell to anyway is selling! ”

Although he didn't know what kind of heights Chen Qiming would reach in the end.

But a platinum record, it's very collectible.

Let's say the record "No Tide, No Money", it may be re-recorded in the future, but no matter how many copies it sells, there will never be too many gold-plated records.

The record company is not a big deal, and it doesn't have to record a platinum record every 100,000 copies.

In many cases, a record that sells well, in addition to burning one when it just exceeds 50,000 or 100,000, will only be re-recorded when the sales hit 560,000 or million, and then mark the record with the logo of a few platinums.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the gold-plated record in Chen Qiming's hand may become the only one and only one in the world.

Rare things are expensive, and the more unique something is, the higher its collection value tends to be.

Even, as the years go by, it becomes more and more valuable.

Liu Ciwei's idea was that if Chen Qiming really wanted to sell it, he could buy it and collect it.

Chen Qiming stared at Liu Ciwei for a long time, and after half a sound, he shook his head, "Forget it, it's still not for sale." ”

From Liu Ciwei's gaze, Chen Qiming felt the value of this record.

Although he loves money, if he is allowed to sell what he has at a low price, he is a hundred unwilling.

Put the gold-plated record into the package, Chen Qiming was about to leave, but Liu Ciwei stopped him again.

"The company has contacted Shangge Records, they agreed to let Meng Tingwei sing with you, Meng Tingwei may arrive in the afternoon, you prepare, hurry up and record when the time comes, Meng Tingwei is busy running publicity, there may only be one afternoon recording time."

Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded and went out with the record.

On the corridor, Chen Qiming looked at the gold record packaging in his hand as he walked.

The cover on the package is different from all the album covers he has released, but is a photo poster that was cut out of the picture of Chen Qiming shooting the Sanyang Group advertisement.

The poster shows him speeding on a motorcycle, the breeze blowing his hair softly.

Next to his portrait, there is also a line of words, "The boy like the wind is setting sail!" ”

Not to mention, this poster cover is very interesting, if you put this one out, there will definitely be many girls who have to save money to buy this poster.

It's a pity that this is an out-of-print cover, and only he, Chen Qiming, owns it.

"Hey! Congratulations, the record is a big hit! ”

Chen Qiming was looking at the record package with his head down, when suddenly a voice came from the front.

Chen Qiming looked up and saw that it was Takeshi Kaneshiro.

He was looking at Chen Qiming with a complicated expression, and congratulated again, "Congratulations, you have successfully squeezed into the ranks of big stars!" ”

Takeshi Kaneshiro is really complicated in his heart right now.

Both envy and jealousy.

He has been in Fulong for more than two years, although the company has been saying that he is the object of praise.

But until now, he is still just a small transparent in the circle.

And Chen Qiming.

As soon as this guy joined the company, he was immediately invested by the company in releasing records.

That's it, but this guy is still so fierce, an EP record actually made him soar into the sky, and he has become an existence that can almost be compared with Lin Zhiying, Wu Qilong and other treasure island idols.

"Thank you! You also come on, and I believe that you will get a chance soon. ”

Chen Qiming smiled and thanked.

For Takeshi Kaneshiro, although Chen Qiming doesn't like him very much, he also doesn't hate him.

"Yes, I won't be inferior to you!"

Takeshi Kaneshiro nodded, then said a few words to Chen Qiming, and then walked to Liu Ciwei's office.

Seeing him leave, Chen Qiming's eyes groaned slightly, and from Takeshi Kaneshiro's words, Chen Qiming heard his confidence.

This self-confidence has his confidence in himself, and the rest, I'm afraid it comes from the company!

It should be that the company has already started the promotion of Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Shaking his head, Chen Qiming no longer thought about this thing, but walked towards the recording area.

Since Meng Tingwei is coming this afternoon, he also has to prepare in advance and strive to finish the recording in one afternoon.

He didn't want to have problems with his recordings and be looked down upon.
