Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Song Dawn Wants to Adapt
At half past eight, the award ended.
Because there were many fans at the scene, I waited for the singers to leave first.
Chen Qiming walked with the flow of people to the backstage passage, and as he walked, he greeted the acquaintances next to him.
"Mr. Chen, please wait!"
Out of the venue where the awards were held, Chen Qiming, Li Xiaowen and others were about to drive away, when they suddenly heard someone calling him.
Looking back, it was Liming with his agent Li Jin and his team.
"Amin, are you free? Talk? ”
Dawn asked.
Chen Qiming has dealt with Liming several times.
The previous TVB jade singer He Taiqing and the two met, and later at the Top Ten Idol Awards Ceremony on Treasure Island, Chen Qiming also went to chat with him and Andy Lau for a while.
Therefore, although the two are not good friends, they know each other.
Although Chen Qiming wondered if Liming was looking for him, he still nodded.
A group of about ten people on both sides found a tea restaurant nearby.
After each sat down, Liming's agent Li Jin ordered the food first, and then began to take the initiative to mention their purpose.
"Mr. Chen, we learned from UFO that the copyrights of the songs of your previous albums are all with you?" Li Jin asked.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded, and then looked at Liming.
Seeing Chen Qiming looking at him, Liming said, "I see that you haven't released the Cantonese version of the song from the previous two Chinese records, so I want to ask if you are interested in singing the Cantonese version of the song to me!" ”
"Which one do you want to sing?" Chan asked, recalling in his mind the songs from his previous two albums that were suitable for Cantonese adaptations.
In the previous two albums, most of those songs did not have a Cantonese version in Chen Qiming's dream, and only one or two songs were of good quality, so Chen Qiming did not release the Cantonese version.
Regarding the cover frenzy that has risen in Hong Kong and Taiwan over the years, to be honest, Chen Qiming does not reject it.
Although most of the Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are famous for covering foreign songs, you can't deny that if it weren't for their existence as a transit point, it would be absolutely impossible for the Chinese-speaking region to have so much beautiful music at the current speed of transmission.
It is precisely because of their presence as porters that the Chinese music scene began to flourish and grew at a rapid rate.
Therefore, if someone is willing to cover his own songs, as long as it is not what he wants to sing, he will be willing to let them cover it.
""Fairy Tale" and the song "Life with You", we hope to get the Cantonese adaptation rights of these two songs from you."
Seeing that Chen Qiming did not refuse at the first time, Liming immediately understood that there was a play, so he directly said the song he liked.
Hearing that Liming wanted "Fairy Tale" and "Life with You", Chen Qiming nodded, he was not surprised.
Since it's a cover, it's natural to give priority to the most popular songs.
Among Chen Qiming's previous two records, these two songs are undoubtedly one of the most popular songs.
"Yes, you can cover it! As for the royalties, I'll give you a call in a few days, and you can talk to them. ”
Chen Qiming originally wanted to let Liming talk to Fulong directly, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was inappropriate.
The copyright of these songs belongs to him personally, and Fulong only has the right to use them for five years, and it would be very inappropriate to let Fulong negotiate.
It's better for him to handle this matter himself.
So, he plans to set up a copyright company to manage the copyright of his songs.
In the future, if anyone wants to cover it or use their own songs, they can contact this company.
"Thank you! I thought you'd say no! ”
After hearing Chen Qiming's agreement, Liming couldn't help but smile and thank.
"Why refuse, I don't plan to sing the Cantonese version of these songs, since you want to adapt, I can have an extra income, it's better than leaving them!" Chen Qiming said with a smile.
After talking about this matter, Chen Qiming began to chat with Liming about family life.
Dawn is definitely a master storyteller.
During this period, because he knew that Li Ming had immigrated to Hong Kong from BJ, Chen Qiming asked him some things about the mainland.
When it came to the mainland, Liming's spirit was shocked, and he immediately began to talk to him about the situation after he returned to the mainland two years ago.
also told him about the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other wonders of the world, which made Chen Qiming's heart extremely hot, and he couldn't wait to go to the mainland to see it immediately.
After chatting for more than an hour, it was a little late, Chen Qiming took the initiative to say goodbye and left the tea restaurant with Li Xiaowen and others.
"Didn't you say you didn't want to write a Cantonese version of these songs? Why did you agree to write him the words of the Cantonese version of "Life with You"? ”
Leaving the tea restaurant and getting into the car, Li Xiaowen couldn't help but ask Chen Qiming suspiciously.
When he was about to leave just now, Liming took the initiative to ask Chen Qiming to help him write the Cantonese version of these two songs.
Originally, she thought that Chen Qiming would refuse, but she didn't expect that although Chen Qiming refused, he only refused the lyrics of a song "Fairy Tale", but "Life with You" agreed.
"I kind of Dawn, it's real, it's not pretentious, and it's ...... And loving! ”
Chen Qiming replied.
"Love?" Li Xiaowen looked confused.
"When you went out to the bathroom, Liming said that he was preparing to launch a fundraiser that would go to research into drugs to prevent and treat polio."
Before Chen Qiming could speak, Wu Qiang, who was driving, spoke.
He said with admiration: "It is really rare for him to have the ability to not forget to help the society in the future." ”
"Indeed! He's funny! Chen Qiming also agreed.
While agreeing, Chen Qiming couldn't help but think about it in his heart.
He wondered if he could join Dawn's charity as well.
Or, start a charity yourself.
It's like the saying in the American comic book Spider-Man, "With great power comes great responsibility." ”
Chen Qi never thought that his ability was awesome.
But as much as he can, he is very willing to do something for the society and the sons and daughters of China.
……
A few days passed in a flash, and the 19th came quickly.
On this day, Chen Qiming attended the Top Ten Song Awards hosted by TVB.
Like the Top 10 Chinese, he once again won the Gold Award for Most Popular Newcomer.
It's just that this time "Fairy Tale" did not win the most popular Chinese song award.
The top ten songs are very boring for Chen Qiming, who won a newcomer award.
Well, it's just boring.
It is a pain to watch those who are not as good as themselves in sales and whose songs are not as popular as themselves win awards.
Of course, there are still highlights of this year's top ten songs.
That attraction is the moment when the Four Heavenly Kings were crowned.
At that time, Andy Lau, Liming, Jacky Cheung, and Aaron Kwok were called to the stage by the host, and after letting the four of them stand separately, a plaque with the Four Heavenly Kings was lowered behind the stage.
This officially announced the establishment of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong.
And what is very interesting is that when the Four Heavenly Kings came to power, TVB's camera crew kept projecting the camera on Chen Qiming, as if they wanted to see his expression.
In this regard, Chen Qiming certainly had an expression, applauding with a smile on his face, as if he was also a fan of the Four Heavenly Kings.
The next day, the moment of the king at the Top Ten Songs Awards Ceremony became the news that the media rushed to report.
"The Four Heavenly Kings Ruled This Year's Awards"
"The time of the king, a new era is coming! 》
"Chen Qiming's expression was slightly stiff, as if he was dissatisfied with the Four Heavenly Kings"
"Successfully crowned, Jacky Cheung will represent the Four Heavenly Kings and Chen Qiming to fight off"
When the media was talking about the Four Heavenly Kings, Chen Qiming was also reported from time to time.
However, Mr. Chen's image in these reports is mostly not good.
He is like a big villain, and the Four Heavenly Kings are the decent protagonists.
Now, he is the stepping stone on the road of the protagonist, and the audience can't wait to see the decent protagonist slay the evil dragon.
For the media, he smiled as the first villain he encountered after the establishment of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Chen Qiming didn't pay much attention to these news at this time.
After the award ended, he sent him the words he wrote for Liming's "Life with You".
In addition, he asked people to register a copyright company in Baodao and transferred all the copyrights of all his songs to this company.
And this company came forward to negotiate with Liming for the adaptation and singing rights of the song.
The copyright fee for the adaptation and singing of the two songs is very high, one is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and two songs are 200,000 yuan.
Originally, according to the normal situation, although these two songs are popular, they definitely can't reach such a high.
But because Chen Qiming wrote the words "With You in My Life" for Li Ming for free, Li Ming didn't talk about it, and directly gave 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
After dealing with the incident with Liming, Chen Qiming did not stay in Hong Kong for long, and after staying with Zhu Yin for a day, he went back to Baodao directly.
As for Liming's adaptation of "Fairy Tale", Chen Qiming doesn't care.
Changing for good or bad doesn't have much to do with him.
However, according to Chen Qiming's estimate, the adapted version of this song should be very good.
After all, he heard that Liming asked Xiang Xuehuai, a lyricist, to help with the adaptation.
With this person's ability, the final quality of this song will definitely not be bad.
