Chapter 98: Movie Release, Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award Ceremony
Although Fulong has already started to produce songs for the next album, Chen Qiming did not return to Treasure Island as soon as possible.
He also continued to promote the Cantonese EP in Hong Kong.
Of course, this is only one of the things.
On January 14, "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" was released, and as the protagonist of the movie, Chen Qiming naturally had to follow the crew to promote the movie.
Even, to a certain extent, because of the popular release of his Cantonese records in Hong Kong, his publicity task is still very heavy when promoting.
He followed the crew on two or three shows in a row, and attended the premiere on the day of release.
Should I say it or not, although Chen Qiming is not so good at playing, he is handsome enough and his literary drama is good, so his performance in this movie has won good recognition from the audience.
It's a pity that as a Chinese New Year movie, the opponent of "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" is too strong.
On the same day that "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" was released, "Truant Dragons and Three Dragons for the Year of the Rooster", produced by Yongsheng and starring Stephen Chow, was also released.
You must know that last year, that is, 1992, was known as the year of Stephen Chow, and he alone occupied the top five of the annual box office list.
In December, he released "Su Qier", which won 48.9 million at the box office in Hong Kong.
With this popularity, as soon as "Truant Dragon III" was released, it immediately triggered a movie-watching frenzy, suppressing all the movies in the same period and taking away most of the market share.
Subsequently, on the 16th, Jackie Chan, who broke the box office record of Baodao in Baodao this year and pulled the record to the level of hundreds of millions of Taiwan dollars, also came.
What he brought with him was City Hunter.
Needless to say, Jackie Chan's appeal is still so strong, this movie that brings together Jackie Chan, Liming, Wang Zuxian, Qiu Shuzhen and Japanese beauty Kumiko Goto and other goddesses As soon as it was released, it took away most of the audience, making the box office of the new meteor butterfly sword fall again.
Later, on the 19th, Xu Guanwen, the former king of comedy, also brought his new movie "Money Snatching Couple" on this day, although this movie is not as good as "Truant Dragon III" and "City Hunter", but it is also not to be underestimated, at least, on the first day after its release, its results are better than "New Meteor Butterfly Sword".
On the 23rd, the sequel to another hit movie was released.
This movie is the sequel to last year's popular treasure island's "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The Undefeated East", "The Undefeated Rise of the East".
It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that the Lunar New Year file is a death period.
This is a time when big-name movie stars gather and compete for it.
It's a schedule that can't be touched by small shrimps.
The lineup of "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" is actually not weak.
There are Tony Leung, Michelle Yeoh and Wang Zuxian, plus Chen Qiming, the hot idol king of the music scene.
But the fact is that several people are not the kind of existence that can directly carry the box office.
Tony Leung, although he has been very famous in Hong Kong in recent years, is an actor.
But on the box office......
To be honest, he can't compare to Andy Lau.
As for Wang Zuxian and Michelle Yeoh.
To be honest, these days, actresses can only be used as foils at most, and it is unrealistic to expect them to carry the box office.
Not to mention that in this schedule, Wang Zuxian's movies include "City Hunter" and "The Undefeated Comeback of the East".
Several movies are piled together, which one should fans watch?
In the end, only Chen Qiming remained.
Chen Qiming's main business is a singer, even if he is popular all over the world, it is absolutely impossible to expect him to add tens of millions of box office to the movie.
He can bring two or three million box office blessings to the movie at most, and as for the final box office of the movie, it is not up to him to decide.
Therefore, although "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" was bombarded with various promotions before its release, so that many people knew about this movie, the box office in the first week was not ideal, and it only got 5.2 million, ranking fourth among the movies released in the same period.
Perhaps knowing that the Lunar New Year file can't be done, Changhong Film and Television is very sensible, and after retaining a certain amount of publicity, it withdrew all other resources and invested them in Treasure Island.
The release of Baodao is a few days later, but it occupies the local advantage, and Changhong still has the advantage of getting a good box office here.
After Changhong did not plan to continue large-scale publicity in Hong Kong, Chen Qiming also became empty and no longer followed the crew to promote every day.
However, the movie is indeed idle, but it doesn't mean that Chen Qiming has nothing to do.
Another thing that kept him in Hong Kong began.
The Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award Ceremony and the Top Ten Golden Song Award Ceremony were officially held in Hong Kong on the 17th and 19th respectively.
The top ten golden song awards of the two awards, Chen Qiming must be hopeless.
Let's not say that he is a newcomer, even if he is not a newcomer, with the exclusion of these two awards, it is impossible for him to get the top ten golden songs.
There is still a little possibility of the top ten Chinese golden songs, after all, this is an award for all Chinese songs.
But the top ten songs, this is basically impossible.
The Top 10 Songs are awards hosted by TVB.
This award is the most popular one in Hong Kong, and it is similar to the top ten idols established by Treasure Island last year, and it pays great attention to the popularity of singers.
But in addition to focusing on popularity, there is another selection criterion for this award, that is, only Cantonese songs can be selected.
And, to a certain extent, it has to be a local singer.
Therefore, Chen Qiming should not expect to win this award.
After all, last year's albums were basically in Chinese.
However, there are two songs "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and "Kiss Everywhere", which are currently very popular in Hong Kong.
However, the release time of these two songs is January 10, although it is still in the selection time for the awards, but in the case of a short time, it is obviously impossible to compare with other songs that have been released long ago and are very popular.
Moreover, Chen Qiming heard some inside information, saying that this year's awards have already been decided, and most of the places will be given to the four kings of Hong Kong.
Moreover, I heard that the top ten powerful songs also plan to officially crown the four heavenly kings at the awards.
So, he wasn't interested in these two awards.
But there is no way, if you want to mix in Hong Kong, you have to give the organizers of these awards.
Radio Television Hong Kong and TVB are all places in Hong Kong that hold important publicity and promotion channels, if you don't give them face and anger them, you will have to wear small shoes.
Therefore, even though Chen Qiming knew that he would not win any awards, he still attended two awards.
The first is the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award Ceremony.
"Congratulations, the winner of the Most Promising Newcomer Award is Chen Qiming!"
On the stage, as the host's voice sounded, Chen Qiming stood up from his seat, hugged Lin Zhiying and Zhang Weijian next to him, and then went on stage.
On stage, Chen Qiming first sang "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf", which he just topped the major song lists this week.
Not to mention, this song is very popular with fans here in Hong Kong, and as soon as he sang it, the fans in the audience cheered.
It seems that his popularity seems to be close to that of the Four Heavenly Kings.
After singing, he said a few acceptance speeches step by step, and then left the stage.
Then, there is no doubt that this year's Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards ceremony was swept by the four heavenly kings.
The quota of ten golden songs was occupied by the four kings in seven positions, and the other three were won by Ye Qianwen and Wang Jiawen, as well as Chen Huixian, who made a comeback this year.
As for Chen Qiming and Lin Zhiying, they won the gold and silver awards of the Most Promising Newcomer Male Singer Award respectively, and the bronze award was won by Zhang Weijian.
However, compared to Lin Zhiying, who only won a newcomer silver award, Chen Qiming also won another award.
Bronze Award for Outstanding Chinese Song.
This is a new award added in recent years, specially set for Chinese songs.
This year, the three songs that won this award are "Walking in Style" by Ye Qianwen at the Gold Award, "Clear My Heart" by Jackie Chan at the Silver Award, and "Fairy Tale" by Chen Qiming at the Bronze Award.
