Chapter 133: Peacebird
As the sun sets, pale yellow light scatters the earth, wrapping the earth in a golden coat.
Kowloon.
Chen Qiming wears a hat, sunglasses, a mask, and clothes that wrap himself tightly, which makes him look very weird, and frequently attracts strange eyes from passers-by.
"This man is so weird! It won't be a wanted man! ”
"Stay away from him......"
"Let's go!"
The sound of passers-by pointing and pointing kept coming, which made Chen Qiming feel helpless.
It's not him Versailles, sometimes, it's really inconvenient to be too popular.
Don't pretend! It is easy to be recognized, and then causes all kinds of inconvenient effects.
Disguise it! Passers-by always look at you with strange eyes, for fear that you are a wanted criminal.
Ignoring the discussions and strange eyes of passers-by, Chen Qiming went straight to the office building in front of him, raised his head and began to search among the many advertising nameplates.
It didn't take long for him to find his purpose in it.
Bohemian waxwing!
This name was given by my mother Huang Xiaomei.
It is a species of bird that can be found all over the globe.
In the treasure island is called the winter migratory bird.
Because when Chen Qiming called her to come to Hong Kong to establish a company, she happened to see this kind of bird.
When she came to Hong Kong to register a company, she came up with the idea of using the name Winter Migratory Bird.
asked Chen Qiming, Chen Qiming didn't think it sounded good, so he used the internationally common name of this bird "Taiping Bird".
found the company's floor on the nameplate, Chen Qiming helped his sunglasses and walked in quickly.
This office building is not big, just four floors, so the security guard at the door also seemed to have nothing to do and did not stop Chen Qiming.
Finding the elevator, Chen Qiming went straight to the third floor.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw the company's marking, and at the same time, he also heard his mother's voice.
"Asen, how about the mall I asked you to contact?"
"Sister Mei, it's difficult! Our company is not well-known, and no one can guarantee the quality of all aspects, and the merchants are not willing to cooperate with us! ”
"Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you that our company would ask Chen Qiming to be the spokesperson of clothing?
You tell them the news, how could they be unwilling. ”
Standing at the door, Chen Qiming looked at his mother who was reprimanding the employee and couldn't help laughing.
It is said that the environment can change people.
That's true.
Although Huang Xiaomei was not cowardly in the past, she always cowered when dealing with things.
Now, with his son as a backing, plus his own single-handedly set up the company.
The mixture of various factors made her personality very different from before.
In the past, she was not as confident as she is now.
"Hey! Mom! ”
Seeing that Huang Xiaomei hadn't noticed this side yet, Chen Qiming had to knock on the door.
"You ......"
"Amin, you're here!"
Compared with the employee's doubts, Huang Xiaomei just heard Chen Qiming's voice and immediately judged him.
"Quick, I'll show you the company!" She ran over with a look of joy on her face.
Next, it is to take Chen Qiming to visit the company.
The company is not big, only about 200 square meters.
But there are a lot of people, clerks, fashion designers, sales managers, front desk.
There are more than a dozen of them combined.
"Ah Ming, let me introduce to you, this is Li Shuqi, is the fashion designer of our company, she is a top student, graduated from the United States of America, studied fashion design, she used to work as a designer in the woodpecker clothing company.
After I found out her information, I specially interviewed her and invited her over. ”
Coming to the general manager's office, Huang Xiaomei began to introduce the company's chief designer of clothing to Chen Qiming.
This is a woman of about twenty-five or sixteen, short hair, very beautiful, and very capable.
"Hello! I am very glad that you came to our company, and I hope we can cooperate happily in the future! ”
Chen Qiming has taken off his hat, sunglasses and mask.
And Li Shuqi was not surprised that Chen Qiming was the real boss of the company.
She smiled and said, "I'm also looking forward to working with Mr. Chen."
I believe that with your star effect and connections in all aspects, you will definitely be able to bring Peacebird into the top ranks of Hong Kong's apparel industry. ”
"Of course, our goal is to be the top in Hong Kong!" Chen Qiming smiled and nodded.
Top in Hong Kong!
This is just Chen's first goal.
If he could, he would even want to be at the top of the world, although it would be difficult.
"Mom, how's the factory in Shanghai?"
Chen Qiming will be very busy in the coming days, and he should not have much time to deal with the affairs of the clothing company, so Chen Qiming plans to figure out all the situations today and then set a development policy.
"The factory equipment is very easy to handle, but the problem of workers is a bit troublesome, and the wages are not high, but it is difficult to recruit skilled workers."
Huang Xiaomei briefly talked about the situation.
Chen Qiming nodded, and then said: "I will inject two million Hong Kong dollars into the company in the near future, and then Mom, you have two tasks, one is to build the factory as soon as possible."
The second is to build up the sales channel. ”
After a pause, Chen Qiming muttered: "Regarding the sales channel, my opinion is to cooperate with some of the original clothing stores first, and then after the brand's reputation is established, we will start with our own store problems." ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Shuqi, "Li Design, do you have any suggestions for the development of the company?"
If you've worked in woodpeckers before, you should have a unique perspective on this. ”
Chen Qiming wanted to see if this designer had the ability.
If he has the ability, he will definitely give the heavy responsibility without hesitation.
But if you don't have the ability, then ......
"I have one suggestion, that is, the company only focuses on men's clothing for the time being, and the market positioning should be placed on young people."
As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Qiming, "Mr. Chen, your main fan group is young people."
A lot of young people will imitate what you are wearing, and they all think it's trendy and cool.
Therefore, what we have to do is to grasp the market of these young people first, win this market, and then attack other markets, so that we will have capital and strength. ”
Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded slightly.
That's what he thinks too.
During the period of establishing the clothing company, Chen Qiming had investigated.
And as far as he knows, although he is rarely involved in the fashion industry, with the help of a large fan base.
This makes his outfit, hairstyle and other styling and dressing become imitated by young people.
There is now such a sentence in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is to describe Chen Qiming.
"You can say that Chen Qiming's movies are not good, but you can't say that he sings badly, you can say that he sings badly, but you can't say that he is not handsome enough."
This year, many media in Hong Kong and Taiwan have jointly selected a list of the most handsome male stars in Asia.
Chen Qiming has been at the top of this list since March.
Whether it is the Four Heavenly Kings or the Four Idol Heavenly Kings of Treasure Island, or even all the artists in the entire Chinese-speaking region, no one has replaced him.
Even, to a certain extent, he has now become synonymous with handsome.
mentioned him, first he was handsome, and then he sang well.
"Here's the outfit I designed, see if there's anything that needs to be changed."
Chen Qiming searched through the briefcase he brought and took out two design drawings.
T-shirts, jackets, pants and shoes.
Chen Qiming directly designed a complete set.
The t-shirt is a plaid shirt, the jacket is a hooded sweatshirt, the pants are plain blue denim, and the shoes are small white sneakers.
These designs, if they are taken out in a single way, they must be general designs, but if they are matched and then worn on Chen Qiming, the style will be completely different.
Hip-hop with a bit of coolplay, with a touch of casualness.
What's more, these outfits can be completely taken apart and worn.
"Very interesting design, the main grasp of young people like the trend!"
After a pause, Li Shuqi glanced at Chen Qiming and couldn't help laughing: "Moreover, you are the trend, as long as you wear it like this, I believe it won't be long before this kind of outfit will become popular." ”
Next, Chen Qiming chatted with his mother about the future of the company.
Chen Qiming didn't expect his mother to help him run this company very well.
This is unrealistic, Huang Xiaomei's own cultural level is not too high, and she used to only sell tapes at home, but she can help set up the company without making mistakes, which is already remarkable.
Therefore, next, Chen Qiming will hire a professional person to be in charge of the company's affairs.
As for my mother's task, she just has one task, just help to take care of the finances and whether the company can operate normally.
"Your little sister is alone at home and I don't know what's going on! Have you been free lately, go back and see her. ”
When Chen Qiming was about to leave, Huang Xiaomei talked to Chen Qiming about Chen Qirui with a worried face.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Of course, he knew that after his mother came to Hong Kong, it would be inconvenient for Chen Qirui to be alone on the treasure island.
Therefore, in addition to calling her every day when he was free, he also specially asked Liu Ciwei to send someone to take care of her at home.
It's just that what Chen Qiming did is obviously a bit redundant.
After Chen Qirui is not under the control of Chen Qiming and Huang Xiaomei, it is called freedom.
Two days ago, Chen Qiming also heard a call from Liu Ciwei, saying that this guy actually went to participate in the China Television draft.
was so frightened that Chen Qiming directly operated in the dark, and let people eliminate her.
Being a star, this is indeed a thing that looks very beautiful.
But Chen Qiming does not plan to let Chen Qirui also be a star.
His biggest expectation for her is that she will study hard and either start her own company or come to her own company to help in the future.
"Don't worry! I'll make people look good for her! ”
Saying that, Chen Qiming thought about it again and said: "After the management I invited in the follow-up comes, you shouldn't be so busy, and you can go back to see her first." ”
Pretending to be himself, Chen Qiming didn't stay in Taiping Bird for long, and went downstairs directly.
Finding his car, he drove straight to the hotel and rushed back.
……
The next day, Chen Qiming went to attend an endorsement event.
This endorsement is also in the forefront of all Chen Qiming's current endorsements.
It is Chow Tai Fook, a well-known Hong Kong jewellery group.
Because Chen Qiming usually likes to wear a necklace around his neck, he was valued by Chow Tai Fook and signed Chen Qiming for three years at a price of 3 million Hong Kong dollars a year.
Well, it is to buy Chen Qiming's annual advertisement and some live activities, plus when Chen Qiming wears a necklace, wear it.
To be honest, Chen Qiming doesn't like gold when he wears a necklace.
This can give the feeling of an upstart.
But there is no way, Chow Tai Fook gave too much, and their gold necklace is not the kind of big thick gold chain, which is not conspicuous.
So Chen Qiming took over this endorsement.
Because before, Chen Qiming had a good response to a TV commercial that they filmed, which brought a lot of help to the sales of this necklace.
Therefore, after Chen Qiming returned to Hong Kong, Chow Tai Fook immediately contacted him to organize today's live event.
"Ahhh......h
"Ming Tsai...... Woowoo woo ......"
At the event, Chen Qiming cooperated with Chow Tai Fook to promote their new products, and then sang two more songs before exiting.
"Ming Zai, it is said that you have joined the Japanese Jennis Office, do you want to develop in Japan? Why didn't you come to Hong Kong like other Treasure Island singers? ”
"Ming Zai, Er Dongsheng said that you are going to star in his new movie "New Love", it is said that this is a love movie, but there seems to be no market for love movies, are you sure you can afford the box office?"
"Ming Zai, Tsui Hark announced the cast of the new movie "Green Snake", you seem to be among them, can you tell me what role you play in it?"
As soon as he left the scene, a group of reporters chased after him and asked a bunch of questions crackling.
Chen Qiming knew that if he didn't answer a few questions, these guys might keep running.
So he could only stop and answer:
"It's true that I joined Genesys, but as for why I didn't come to Hong Kong to develop, you see, I'm not in Hong Kong now?
Moreover, I think that as a singer, we should not only focus on our own country, but also on the world. ”
"It's true about starring in "New Love" and "Green Snake", and I hope that reporters and friends will help promote it more."
After Chen Qiming replied with a smile, he immediately accelerated his pace and left.
After getting two answers, those reporters did not continue to follow Chen Qiming.
They're already writing the manuscript.
In the afternoon of the same day.
Chen Qiming's interview in the morning immediately made the headlines of the entertainment newspaper.
Chen Qiming: We Want to Look at the World
"Chen Qiming intends to enter the international market"
"Wait and see, whether Chen Qiming can kill in Japan like in China"
I have to say that Chen Qiming's sentence "looking at the world" is very domineering.
If it was in the past, when Chen Qiming said this kind of thing, there was a chance that a reporter would immediately jump out and scold him.
But this time, it is rare that the major media have not put forward any rebuttal opinions.
There are two reasons for this.
First, because Chen Qiming has proven himself with strength, the annual sales of 6.5 million records, looking at the world, this is also a very bright achievement.
On this year's global record sales chart, Chen Qiming ranked third.
In front of him are Michael Jackson and Madonna.
With this data out there, no one who doesn't open his eyes will say that he is too arrogant.
As for the second reason, there are already people who have paid the price for questioning Chen Qiming.
Last year, the famous Chen Qiming Kuroko Asuka on the treasure island once said in the newspaper that Chen Qiming's third record must be pounced.
Then he was chased and sprayed for two months by an editor of the Times Weekly named Jiuai Qiming.
In the end, the two sides made a bet that if Chen Qiming's third record sold more than a million, Asuka would appear on TV and slap himself in the face of the audience on Quanbao Island.
And vice versa, so will Jiuai Qiming.
And the end result is self-evident, Flying Bird disappeared in the second week of Chen Qiming's album release.
Yes, just nowhere to be seen.
In those years, most of the people who worked as editors in newspapers described themselves as cultural people and literati.
If you let him slap himself in front of so many TV viewers, it's harder than killing him.
Therefore, the editor named Asuka completely disappeared from the magazine scene of Treasure Island.
However, Chen Qiming estimates that this guy has changed his pen name nine times out of ten.
Perhaps, one of the sunspots who are still scolding him on Treasure Island is not necessarily him.
It is precisely because of the experience of flying birds that Chen Qiming's words that sounded a little arrogant were not only not sprayed, but were blown up.
"I'm optimistic about him, his Japanese record is with Warner, and I learned from Warner that the quality of his record is very good, and it has been recognized by many Japanese creators.
Among them is Mr. Yasuji Omakaino, who wrote "Song of the Sunset". ”
In the afternoon of the same day, when Andy Lau was asked by a reporter what he thought of this issue when the crew of "The Supreme Thirty-six Plans: Stealing the Sky and the Day" was filmed, he directly praised him.
Not only Andy Lau, but even Leslie Cheung took the initiative to mention this issue when promoting "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch".
Here's what he said:
"I'm not surprised that Chen Qiming was able to break into the international market.
In May, when I was attending the Cannes Film Festival in France, an American reporter asked me if I knew Chen Qiming.
At that time, I was still wondering how he knew about Chen Qiming.
Later, I asked my friends in the United States to find out that Chen Qiming's records were selling well in the United States, and he even had many foreign fans. ”
No one knows whether what Leslie Cheung said is true or false, but it did cause a sensation in Hong Kong.
Everyone knows that since Chen Qiming went to Japan to develop, he must have a certain fan base to go.
Therefore, everyone will not doubt that he is very popular in Japan.
It's just that everyone didn't expect Chen Qiming to have a certain influence in the United States.
The Chinese broke into the American market.
Honestly, it's definitely exciting.
In these years, although some people yearn for foreign countries, there are also people who are very patriotic.
After knowing that the artists of my country can enter foreign countries, they will naturally be happy.
Why does Bruce Lee have such a status in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even China?
The reason is that he is Chinese, the first Chinese face to make a name for himself in the United States.
Even Jackie Chan.
He has been defeated repeatedly over the years, and always wants to enter the European and American markets.
For what?
Money?
There are certainly reasons for this, but more so than not, influence.
As long as he enters Europe and the United States, his influence and even status achievements will be completely different.
