After the release of "Too Soft Heart" on March 17, Chen Qiming immediately let all those who questioned him and didn't trust him know what an idol king and a popular king were.

As soon as the album was released, the eight songs on the album that can be called classic songs quickly began to slaughter the charts.

Except for the English song "Believe" and "Have to Love", which invited the female singer Yi Nengjing of UFO Records to sing it, which only ranked eleven and twelfth in the Voice of Asia, the other songs all entered the top ten on the list.

Especially the song "The Heart Is Too Soft".

His tunes and lyrics aren't actually the best on this album.

But it's so magical.

The phrase "you are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted", as long as you listen to it once, most of them can be hummed.

Then, the song began to soar wildly on the charts.

Ninth.

Sixth.

Fourth.

Second.

For four days, it had to move several positions almost every day, and climbed directly to the second position.

And the other songs are not weak.

After the release of the album "A Thousand Paper Cranes" is "Too Soft Heart", the on-demand data has increased significantly, and it has gone from the original fifth position to the third.

In addition, "The Past Follows the Wind" and "Love is Simple" also ushered in an explosion, ranking fourth and fifth respectively.

Although "Rain or Rain" was on the list, it was not as awesome as "Too Soft Heart", but it also went straight to the sixth.

plus the seventh "Just Love You".

And so it goes.

The entire list, looking down from the top, immediately appeared a terrifying and suffocating scene.

That is, in addition to the first "Kiss Goodbye", Chen Qiming's songs are actually arranged on the list one by one.

Then, if you look closely, an even more terrifying scene appears.

That's the name of only two singers in the top 10.

One is Jacky Cheung, and the other is Chen Qiming.

The two of them actually directly occupied the entire list, squeezing Wu Qilong, Lin Zhiying, Aaron Kwok and Andy Lau's song "True Love is Hard to Accept", which released the first song chart, to outside the top ten.

"These are the two kings of the Chinese music scene, no matter who wins and who loses"

"Horror! Chen Qiming proved his strength"

The champion of "Kiss Goodbye" is not guaranteed, Chen Qiming is coming strongly! 》

"This is the pinnacle showdown"

"Aaron Kwok fell out of the top 20 on the list, and his face was black"

Chen Qiming's terrifying climbing data, as well as his and Jacky Cheung's dominance of the top 10 on the list, shocked the media and shouted for the two of them.

On the 19th, when Hong Kong superstar Leslie Cheung was interviewed, when asked about the list dispute between Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung, he took the initiative to say:

'It was a historic moment and both of them won and lost, in my opinion, they both won.

With this historic moment, they are destined to go down in history! ”

Alan Tam was also amazed when asked this question, "Obviously, the Chinese music scene is theirs." ”

Anita Mui: "I have bought and listened to both of their albums, and there is no doubt that these are two albums. ”

Except for some of the Hong Kong superstars who were asked.

There are also some famous singers on the treasure island who were asked by reporters about Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung.

Teresa Teng, who has gradually retreated, Han Baoyi, the former queen of Treasure Island, and even Luo Dayou, etc., were all asked.

Most of these people have given Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung recognition.

And when the media was looking for the older generation of singers to evaluate Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung.

The time has quietly come to the twentieth.

It's Sunday, and it's the day to count the week's sales figures.

The first is Jacky Cheung's Baodao Polygram branch, where they announced the sales data of "Kiss Goodbye" this week.

"Kiss Goodbye" was released on Wednesday, March 8, exactly 12 days until today.

In twelve days, the record sold a staggering one and a half million copies.

Terror.

Terrifying!

When Jacky Cheung's sales surprised the media and fans, it also made everyone turn their attention to Chen Qiming.

Fulong and UFO didn't make everyone wait any longer.

When Jacky Cheung announced that the album sales exceeded one million and a celebration party was to be held, the data release staff of the flying saucer directly carried a circle of firecrackers and released it in front of reporters, and then the data was announced.

460,000 sheets!

It is consistent with the sales data released by Jacky Cheung for the first time.

However, everyone's attention is not on this.

They were looking at the digit in front of 460,000.

Three days.

In just three days, Chen Qiming's "Too Soft Heart" won a terrifying 460,000 copies of the world.

This data directly broke the record of 460,000 copies sold in four days just a few days ago by Jacky Cheung.

It boiled.

Both the Baodao media and the Hong Kong media are boiling.

It's definitely historic.

Both albums released during the same period broke records.

This not only has enhanced the historical status of Jacky Cheung and Chen Qiming.

In the eyes of peers in the music industry, this has another meaning, that is, the Chinese music scene may usher in a big explosion this year.

In recent years, the development of the record industry has been getting better and better year by year.

From the 80s, the sales of two or three hundred thousand copies can be called an explosion.

By the nineties, millions of them were needed.

And judging from the rhythm of the two records of Jacky Cheung and Chen Qiming, this is a small goal of three or four million copies, and a big goal of five or six million copies!

And the sales data of Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung not only caused a sensation in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Even the mainland was shocked by these two records.

On the 23rd, the mainland China Record Guangzhou Company and the New Era Audio and Video Company respectively approached Fulong Company, hoping to act as an agent for Chen Qiming's "Too Soft Heart" in the mainland.

Unlike Hong Kong and even the treasure island, there are so many record companies.

There are not many large record labels on the mainland.

Among them, China Record Guangzhou Company and New Era Audio and Video are two of them.

The location of these two companies is in Guangzhou, where the mainland record industry is currently at its peak.

Since the 80s, because of its proximity to Hong Kong, Guangzhou has received a lot of entertainment influences from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and from the late 80s, it has set off the heyday of China's record industry and achieved the first batch of pop singers.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the eighties and nineties, more than 90 percent of the country's audio-visual distribution market was occupied by companies in Guangzhou. At that time, a large number of well-known singers of Chinese pop music were also concentrated in Guangzhou.

The first large-scale "star-making" in the Chinese pop music scene began in Guangzhou, the birthplace of pop music.

When the concept of "MTV" did not exist in the mainland, record companies in Guangzhou began to use video tapes to promote singers.

At the annual order fair, when other record companies only provide auditions, the sound and colorful music videos suddenly catch the attention of the merchants, and this kind of music promotion method can be described as unique.

In addition to the advanced operation methods of various record companies in Guangzhou, the local media in Guangdong also played a key role in the promotion and promotion, and the local media in Guangdong such as Guangdong TV and "Yangcheng Evening News" also contributed to the creation of stars for pop singers.

Officially take advantage of this opportunity at the right time, place and people.

China Record Guangzhou Company and New Era Audio and Video have become the most influential entertainment giants in the mainland.

Among them, the new era of audio and video is the most influential.

Yang Yuying, which they launched last year, sold millions of copies in the mainland with "Wind with Love and Water with Laughter".

became the first singer in the mainland to sell more than one million.

Subsequently, in December last year, Guangzhou New Era Audio and Video launched Mao Ning.

A piece of "Please Let My Love Song Stay by Your Side" directly made Mao Ning appear on the Spring Festival Gala, and made one of the songs "The Sound of the Waves Remain" popular all over the country.

This record, as far as Chen Qiming knows, has sold millions of copies since its release.

For some reason, Fulong chose Hong Kong to meet with these two companies.

It just so happened that because Chen Qiming was going to hold a signing meeting here, he also attended the negotiation meeting of the agency.

Of course, he didn't speak, he sat in the whole way.

It's boring to talk about business.

Both sides will fight for a dime share.

Just when Chen Qiming began to yawn, the representative of China Record slapped the table, stood up directly, pressed his hands on the table, stared at the representative of Guangzhou New Era Audio and Video opposite with a gloomy face, and said:

"Two million, our Chinese record is two million yuan, and the income is fifty-fifty!

Wang Chaoxian, if you give more than this offer, I won't say a word, and I will leave immediately. ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming was in high spirits and set his eyes on the representative of the new era of sound and film.

Just now, the representative of the new era of audio and video has been raising the price.

No matter what price China Records offered, he would add some, which made the Chinese record representative angry.

Now, it looks like China Records has given the highest bargaining chips.

It depends on what the new era of audio and video does.

If they add more, then Chen Qiming's record and even his personal agency rights in the mainland for a period of time in the future will be obtained by New Era Audio and Video.

The so-called record agency is a very common thing for current Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

Because the economic companies of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers may not have branches in other regions, it will be very inconvenient when selling records.

Therefore, in order to facilitate the distribution of records, most of the singers' records in Hong Kong and Taiwan will basically find local companies to distribute their records if they want to sell them to other regions.

This kind of agency distribution has no copyright, and generally only takes the income from the record.

It's like the relationship between Fulong and UFO.

Fulong's record company only has production capacity, but no distribution ability, so Fulong has reached an alliance with UFO.

All the records produced by Fulong Records will be handed over to UFO for distribution.

And the mainland ......

UFO has been acquired by Warners for the majority of the shares.

But at present, they have no distribution capacity in the mainland.

This is true not only for flying saucers, but also for other companies such as PolyGram.

Therefore, if Fulong wants to release Chen Qiming's album, he must cooperate with publishing houses or record companies with distribution capabilities in the mainland.

And this kind of cooperation sometimes depends on people.

Let's talk about Chen Qiming's previous "Fairy Tale".

At that time, the record had not yet been released, so UFO contacted a mainland company for distribution.

At that time, Chen Qiming was not famous in the mainland at all, and "Fairy Tale" had not yet gained momentum in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

So the agent of this record belongs to asking to go up and find someone to represent it.

And now......

Now it's different.

First of all, Chen Qiming has already gained a certain scale of popularity in the mainland with his previous "Fairy Tale".

The second is that this record has begun to gain momentum in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even other countries with Chinese.

In this case, anyone who is smart will know that if they win the agency release of this record, they will basically be able to sit and make money.

As a result, the agency distribution company will choose to pay for the distribution rights of the record.

"You've won! I didn't expect there to be so many belongings for Chinese records! The representative of the New Era Sound and Shadow groaned for a moment, stood up and spread his hands.

Then he looked at Chen Qiming and Liu Ciwei.

"Two, I can't give Mr. Li's offer, I hope to cooperate again next time."

With that, he nodded and quickly left the office.

"Huh...... Isn't it because the company has two big red singers, so I don't dare to take risks, what to pretend? ”

The representative of China Records, surnamed Li, sneered, and then looked at Liu Ciwei and Chen Qiming.

"Two, my offer should be the highest among all the companies in the mainland that can release this record, what do you think? Do you have to wait for the quotations of other companies, or do you want to say ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Ciwei interrupted him, "Mr. Li, needless to say, I hope we have a happy cooperation!" ”

Liu Ciwei's words are obvious, that is, he agreed to this offer.

Once the offer is negotiated, the next step is to sign the specific contract.

Chen Qiming didn't get involved in the rest of the matter, and after chatting with the representative of China Record for a while, he left Fulong's branch in Hong Kong and rushed directly to the airport.

He had already completed the signing session here in the morning, and the next step was to fly to Singapore.

Now that the fire has been lit, all he has to do is to keep adding fuel to this fire called "Too Soft Heart".

Only in this way can the fire burn more vigorously.

……

In the next few days, Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung were both riveting their respective albums.

Today you are on this TV show, and tomorrow I will be interviewed in a magazine.

Then in terms of signing meetings, the two of them were also held one after another.

Under the fierce publicity of the two, on the 27th, the new week's data came out.

And when this week's data comes out.

The media was stunned!

Jacky Cheung was stunned.

Even Chen Qiming was stunned.

Jacky Cheung, 430,000 in a single week, with a total sales volume of 1.58 million.

Chen Qiming, 840,000 in a single week, with a total sales volume of 1.3 million.

Chen Qiming parachuted the sales champion of the week.

After seeing Chen Qiming's sales of 460,000 in three days, most people expected that he might be the champion today.

But what no one expected was that he would be parachuted in with such a high stat.

Eight hundred and forty thousand.

A week......

Seeing this data, Wu Qilong looked at the celebration party he had just received from the company for him with sales exceeding 500,000, and instantly felt that it was not fragrant.

Aaron Kwok, who was practicing splitting in the dance studio, saw this data and tore it up, and the data sheet was instantly torn to pieces by him.

After Takeshi Kaneshiro, who was in the lounge of Fulong Company, saw the news, he silently glanced at the position where Chen Qiming often sits, and that position was obviously there, but now, he suddenly felt that it was far away in the sky.

Rolling Stone, after Zhou Huajian read this data, he got up and went directly to the general manager's office, he wanted to ask Duan Zhongtan if he could release the record on a different date.

Then, after Jacky Cheung, who was holding a signing meeting, heard the data reported by the assistant, nodded silently, called the company directly, and added six more signing sessions to himself, he was going to fight.

"Chen Qiming, he is the king of the Chinese music scene, and he does not accept refutation!" 》

"The Chinese Music Scene Ushered in a New King"

"840,000 a week, Michael Jackson of the East is Chen Qiming"

"I'll pinch my fingers, and it will rise next week!" 》

Crazy, all the media are crazy to start processing the printed newspapers.

The next day, the news was reported by all entertainment newspapers in the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan regions.

Even many newspapers that only report social news can't help but get involved in reporting it.

"Mingming, Mingming......"

"Ahhh......h

Downstairs in Fulong Company, Chen Qiming got out of the car, and dozens of fans suddenly surrounded him.

Among them are also journalists.

"Ah Ming, your "Heart is Too Soft" sold 840,000 in a week, this data is more terrifying than your last "Fairy Tale", some people say, with this album, you are enough to be called the first person in the Chinese music scene, what do you think about this, do you want to be the first person?"

"Amin, although your sales have exploded, "Too Soft Heart" has not beaten "Kiss Goodbye" to win the top spot on the song list so far, do you regret this?"

"Chen Qiming, I am a reporter from Hong Kong New Times Weekly, what do you think of Jacky Cheung's record, can you comment on this record?"

A group of reporters frantically chased after Chen Qiming and his party and asked loudly.

After entering the door of the company, Chen Qiming took off his sunglasses and turned back to answer one question after another:

"I'm just a singer, I can't evaluate myself, I can only try to do my essential work, as for what others say, I can't influence them!"

The first person in the Chinese music scene, this statement is actually just talking.

After all, Chen Qiming has only debuted for a year, if he dares to say so now, no matter how good his sales are, the media will definitely spray him to death tomorrow.

So, he refused to answer.

After answering this question, he replied to another question.

"Regarding the fact that "Too Soft Heart" can't win the top of the song chart, I don't make an evaluation, which needs to be evaluated by fans."

After a pause, he continued: "Regarding the record "Kiss Goodbye", there is no doubt that its sales and word-of-mouth have proven that it is a classic enough album.

Although we are rivals, and the media have compared me with Xueyou, I admire him very much.

He has been popular from the eighties to the present, which ordinary people simply can't do.

To be honest, I actually listened to his songs before my debut, so please don't keep opposing each other, it's all Chinese, and we don't need to create regional differences......"

Before Chen Qiming's words were finished, Liu Ciwei next to him immediately pushed it and interrupted: "I'm sorry, Ah Ming just came back from running the propaganda, he needs to rest, and there will be a chance in the future, we are interviewing."

Thank you! ”

After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Chen Qiming and walked towards the company.

As he walked, he said, "Don't talk nonsense about something. It is easy to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Hong Kong Entertainment, starting from 97, the protagonist has been established since chapter 25 to put F4, and the members have the protagonist, Huo Jianhua, Yan Kuan, if you are interested, you can go and see it.
