Chapter 146: Is Hong Kong and Taiwan Music Going to Rise?

Tokyo has already started to cool down in November.

In the morning, Chen Qiming practiced for several hours in the Genesys office with the accompaniment group arranged for him by Genesys.

In the afternoon, a group of more than a dozen people, including his team, rushed to Japan's Asahi TV station, which recorded "Music Station".

Since it was the first time to attend a Japanese music complex, Chen Qiming was not too familiar with the situation here.

So, President Genesys Kitagawa personally followed.

Along the way, he told Chen Qiming a lot about the program, including some basic information about the host.

Half an hour later, the group came to TV Asahi.

Kitagawa is very familiar with this place, and as soon as he gets out of the car, he leads Chen Qiming to the inside of the TV station, and from time to time, if he meets a high-level person with a relatively high status in the TV station, he will also stop and introduce Chen Qiming to the other party.

And many people passing by will mostly stop to say hello after seeing Kitagawa and Chen Qiming.

Then he began to look at Chen Qiming with curious eyes.

When Janis was promoting Chen Qiming, the slogan was shouted very loudly.

While emphasizing his status as the king of Chinese music, he also boasted about Haikou, saying that he would make Chen Qiming a top idol singer in Japan.

Top idols.

This is not so easy to do in Japan.

Chen Qiming, a Chinese who wants to do this, is undoubtedly more difficult.

But the strength of Genesys is there.

Over the years, Genesys has launched a number of top idols.

Now that Dennis dares to publicize it like this, it naturally shows that Chen Qiming has the ability to be so promoted.

Therefore, many artists passing by are very curious about Chen Qiming.

Walking all the way, soon, the group came to the backstage of the recording.

At this time, there are already several artists who are also singing today.

As soon as Chen Qiming came in, everyone's eyes were on him.

There is curiosity, war, and fear in his eyes.

"Music Station" is a singing show.

And for singing programs, there will naturally be competition.

The rules of "Music Station" are simple: the singers take turns to sing, and then the judges and the audience will judge the stage, the singing, and the song itself.

The selected ranking list will be distributed in the form of a magazine.

And, sometimes, the champion will take the stage again in the second week and continue to PK with the later singers.

With the popularity of "Music Station" in Japan, it won the first place here, and you can imagine the degree of promotion of the song.

Therefore, it can be said that the singers who are here today are almost all competitors.

As a competitor, Chen Qiming is definitely the most powerful in this issue of "Music Station".

The name of the Chinese king, coupled with the promotion of Genesys and Warner Records, has made him congenitally attracted a lot of attention.

So, naturally, he became the biggest rival and target of others.

With Kitagawa, I got to know each other with these singers, and then Chen Qiming was directly taken into the dressing room by the staff and started to change clothes.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the singing show officially began.

I don't know if it was intentional or too lucky, Chen Qiming was the first to appear.

Holding the microphone, Chen Qiming didn't feel nervous, and walked directly onto the stage.

Although today is his first time on a Japanese singing show.

But in China, he has appeared on too many similar music programs.

Baodao "Dragon and Tiger Golden Song Chart", Hong Kong "Golden Song Chart", Singapore "Pop Chart" and so on, he has been on the list.

Not to mention, he has held concerts for tens of thousands of people, so he can't be nervous at all in the face of today's scene.

"Hello! Hello Japanese fans, I'm Chen Qiming, from China!

I hope my singing will be liked by everyone! ”

After taking the stage, Chen Qiming first said hello to the audience.

There were quite a lot of viewers here today, and the entire TV Asahi studio was basically full.

Chen Qiming even saw fans holding his posters among them.

It's just that relatively speaking, there are fewer people.

"Chen Sang, we heard that the Japanese song you brought us today was written by yourself, can you tell me what this song is called? Under what circumstances did you create it? ”

Before the singing starts, the singer will generally have some interaction with the host.

Chen Qiming is naturally no exception.

"The song is called "Treasures of the Ryukyu People", and it is based on some folk culture of the Ryukyus......"

Before Chen Qiming's words were finished, the host interrupted him, "Are you talking about Okinawa?" Chen Sang, you are a Chinese, you actually write about Japan, you know Japan......"

Chen Qiming was quite unhappy with the host's interruption and his remarks, and directly interrupted him: "I'm sorry, the Ryukyu I'm talking about is not Okinawa, it's our Chinese Ryukyu Island!" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the host, "Sir, you shouldn't have seen the map!" ”

Hearing this, the host was a little embarrassed and hurriedly ended the topic, "Okay! So let's enjoy the "Treasures of the Ryukyu People" brought to us by Mr. Chen Qiming! ”

The moderator exits.

Then the accompaniment troupe prepared by Genesys for Chen Qiming began to stream out from the backstage.

""The Treasures of the Ryukyu People is for everyone, I hope you like it!"

Crackling......

As Chen Qiming's words fell, there was a burst of warm applause in the audience.

Chen Qiming turned back and nodded to the instrumentalists in the accompaniment troupe, signaling that it was time to start.

Knock knock!

The snare drummer is the first to beat the melody.

Later, the luthier of the Sankin Ryukyu piano began to play.

With the melody, the audience's eyes suddenly lit up, and they were all shocked.

The three-string Ryukyu is a three-stringed instrument with an oval body.

Since the 16th century, this musical instrument has been introduced to Okinawa and other places in Japan from southern China, and has a strong status as a musical instrument in Okinawa, Japan.

In addition, the melody of the song "Treasures of the Ryukyu People" is very good.

Therefore, just the melody together, the audience immediately became interested.

"The Sky of the Island I Was Born Into"

"I get a rough idea"

"How many of them?"

"Whether it's a shining star"

"Still a flowing cloud"

……

Chen Qiming sang slowly.

This song is a folk tune, and the most important thing in singing is feelings.

When Chen Qiming sang, he focused all his spirit on singing and his own feelings.

Therefore, he didn't notice that when he was singing, many fans at the scene actually shook their heads to the melody and closed their eyes at the same time.

Background.

Kitagawa listened to the voice coming from the stage and walked in front of a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.

"Hanami-kun, how's it going?"

Hearing his question, the middle-aged man glanced at him and couldn't help but mock: "Chen Qiming himself is a famous creative talent in China, you just picked up a bargain!" ”

"Hehe......" Hearing this, Kitagawa was not angry, and said: "No way, the strength of Genesys is here, Chen Sang is a smart person, of course he chooses to cooperate with us."

It's you, who are timid, I heard that you asked Kudo to seduce Chen Sang, but you don't want to sacrifice Kudo? ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Hanami-kun, you can't hesitate to do things, if you dared to sacrifice Kudo at that time, maybe Chen Sang would be yours!" ”

……

Backstage in the studio, a man who was chatting and laughing with TV Asahi executives couldn't help but look up when he heard the sound coming from the studio.

Unfortunately, it was blocked by the office door.

"Kameda-kun, do you know who's singing right now?" He looked at the top of the Japanese and North Korean TV stations who were chatting with him.

"De Yongjun, it seems to be the singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan!"

Hearing this, Kameda recalled the order of the program and replied.

"From Hong Kong and Taiwan? This song is a new song! Tokunaga said with a frown.

As a person who has won the Most Popular Foreign Artist Award in Hong Kong in the late 80s for many years.

Tokunaga has a lot of dealings with people in the Hong Kong music scene.

In 89, when he held a concert in Hong Kong, he also invited Alan Tam and Kwan Shuyi to attend the concert guests.

And it is because of his understanding of the Hong Kong music scene that he knows very well what the Hong Kong music scene is like now.

Most people make a living by covering Japanese songs, and he said that in the album "BIRDS" released in 87, five of them were covered by Hong Kong.

It's such a place to be proud of covers.

Today, someone actually entered Japan, and even sang a tune he had never heard before on a famous Japanese singing show.

It was incredible to him.

"De Yongjun, you've been having surgery this year and don't pay much attention to Hong Kong and Taiwan music, so you may not know.

This Chen Qiming is not simple, he is different from other Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, he doesn't cover it, and almost all of his songs are created by himself.

He only debuted last year, and his first album sold one million copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Subsequently, the second and third albums were even more terrifying, with sales of 4 million and 7 million copies respectively.

Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene. ”

Kameda said, paused for a moment, and continued: "He officially entered the Japanese music scene this year, and it is said that the songs of his first Japanese album are adapted from his previous Chinese songs, and most of the other Japanese songs are also composed by himself.

He is seen as, apart from Teresa Teng, the Chinese singer who is most likely to achieve great success in Japan. ”

After listening to the other party's words, Tokunaga Hideaki couldn't help but be silent.

"Deyongjun, what's wrong? It's ......"

Seeing that he was silent, Kameda couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's a great song, and I think it's probably going to be the enemy of my upcoming song!" Tokunaga was silent for a moment and spoke.

"What, Deyongjun, you're going to release a record? It's so good that my wife will be very happy......"

When Kameda heard this, he was overjoyed.

His wife is a big fan of Tokunaga Hideaki and looks forward to Tokunaga Hideaki's album every day.

But since Tokunaga Hideaki had a vocal problem last year and went for surgery, Tokunaga Hideaki has not released a record.

"Then your wife may be disappointed, I have a problem with my vocal cords, and I can't recover from what it used to be!" Tokunaga Hideaki smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, no matter what, Keiko will definitely support you!" Kameda swore and said.

Hearing this, Tokunaga Hideaki did not speak, but listened to the singing in the studio.

Halfway, he couldn't help sighing: "What a good voice, I didn't expect there to be such a talent in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene!"

Is Hong Kong and Taiwan music about to rise? ”
