Chapter 161: Except for Chen Qiming, the Four Idol Heavenly Kings are nothing
"Congratulations, the youngest actor at the Golden Horse Awards!"
Xiang Boss held a wine glass in his hand, gestured to Chen Qiming, and said with a smile.
"Thank you!"
Chen Qiming responded with a smile.
The twenty-year-old Golden Horse actor, this is indeed an achievement worth boasting about.
However, compared to his achievement of winning the record of the highest annual sales in Asia with 7 million sales, this achievement is worth cheering, but it is not enough to make Chen Qiming so excited that he can't find a direction.
"Do you have any projects scheduled for this year?"
Coming to the boss is certainly not just for chatting, but for a purpose.
And his purpose, needless to say, Chen Qiming also understands what he wants to do.
It's nothing more than inviting him to star in Yongsheng, no, it should be a movie of Chinese stars.
Many people think that Yongsheng is actually Xiang Huaqiang's company.
Actually, this is not accurate.
Strictly speaking, this is the company of his younger brother Xiang Huasheng.
Although Boss Xiang has shares, before this year, he only occupied a small part of the shares.
It wasn't until 93 that Xiang Boss established China Star and bought more than half of his brother's shares, and he became the largest shareholder of Yongsheng.
"This year is likely to be busy, with Chinese records, Japanese records, concerts, and a play on Nagahiro's side.
If you want to be free, you may have to go until August or September! ”
Chen Qiming didn't wait for the other party to make an invitation, so he said directly.
Xiang Jia does have a good influence in Hong Kong.
He didn't want to offend them because of some small things.
Therefore, simply block the other party's idea of inviting in advance.
"Is that so? What a pity! I just chatted with Director Er Dongsheng, and he promised to come to help our company make a film, and he recommended you to me to be the leading actor.
I didn't expect it to be so unfortunate. ”
Boss Xiang obviously understood Chen Qiming's words, and said with a look of pity.
"It's a pity, if you have the opportunity, if you have the opportunity, I also hope to cooperate with your company."
Chen Qiming showed regret in a timely manner.
After confirming that Chen Qiming did not have a schedule, Xiang Huaqiang did not stay long, chatted with Chen Qiming for a while, and then took the initiative to leave.
Chen Qiming, on the other hand, began to deal with others.
As the most popular singer this year, he also won the best actor at the just-concluded Golden Horse Awards.
Chen Qiming was definitely one of the most popular presences tonight.
Producers and directors of many companies are interested in coming forward to ask about his schedule.
In this kind of communication and socializing, time passed quietly.
At around half past ten, Chen Qiming got rid of the entanglement of the group and went to chat with the judges of the organizer for a while, thanking them for awarding the award to him.
Then, after greeting some acquaintances, he quickly left the banquet.
……
"The Wedding Banquet" became the biggest winner of the Golden Horse Awards
"The youngest actor in the history of the Chinese film industry was born, it was him! 》
"Chen Qiming defeated Jackie Chan Leung Ka-fai to win the best actor"
Chen Qiming on the New Record
On the second day, the entertainment page of the entire treasure island was almost full of news about the Golden Horse Awards.
Among them, "The Wedding Banquet" became the biggest winner, winning many heavyweight awards such as Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture respectively, which almost occupied the front page of most of the media.
Subsequently, Chen Qiming followed closely with the news of the actor.
Even, to a certain extent, his popularity is higher than "The Wedding Banquet".
As the youngest actor at the Golden Horse Awards and the hottest existence in the music industry, the media has spent a lot of space describing him.
For example, in the Baodao film industry, although "The Wedding Banquet" is on the cover of the headline, Chen Qiming is mentioned the most in the article.
It is unimaginable that while Chen Qiming has achieved great success in the music industry, he is not lagging behind others in the film industry in terms of acting skills.
Although some people have always compared Chen Qiming with the four kings of Hong Kong.
But the fact is that Chen Qiming not only surpassed the four kings in record sales, but even in the film industry, he surpassed each other and was the first to win the title of actor......"
The first article in the treasure island film industry was still written steadily.
But for some reason, halfway through writing, he suddenly turned a corner and began to belittle the four kings of Hong Kong.
This report did not cause much trouble in Treasure Island.
Because that's what the media in Treasure Island has always done.
Whenever Chen Qiming is mentioned, the four kings of Hong Kong will inevitably be pulled out and stepped on.
Even, because of Chen Qiming's relationship, the so-called four idol kings of Baodao have become rising.
Many people think that Chen Qiming is so powerful, so the other three should be equally powerful.
Therefore, the Treasure Island media took advantage of the trend to blow the four idol kings of Treasure Island to the sky.
It's just that compared to the previous time when the media on the treasure island boasted about it, there was no reaction from Hong Kong.
This time, because of the Golden Horse Awards, many artists in Hong Kong have come to Treasure Island.
When they returned, they took back the newspaper from Treasure Island.
Among them is the one in the Treasure Island Film Industry.
And then, and then what happened after that was dramatic.
Hong Kong's Oriental Daily took the lead in firing at the Treasure Island media and the so-called four idol kings.
"The Baodao media is full of fools who open their eyes and talk nonsense, the four idol kings? To be honest, except for Chen Qiming, other people are really not good, what works do they have? Is there a continuous output? Wu Qilong is also a little bit like him, the identity of the captain of the Little Tigers made his two records sell a million copies each, as for the others, hehe!
The Four Heavenly Kings took out one of them at random, and basically beat them......"
I don't know who wrote this article, and I am dissatisfied with the behavior of the four heavenly kings and the four idol kings on the side of the treasure island media.
However, although this article has been scolding the Treasure Island media and the four idol kings.
But he miraculously took Chen Qiming away.
It's like, "Well, I accept Chen Qiming, but I don't accept other people!" ”
In the wake of this article, other media outlets in Hong Kong have also begun to make moves.
The new era wrote: "The so-called four idol kings are just borrowing the hands of Chen Qiming to elevate some people!" ”
The Hong Kong Daily said: "The so-called king of heaven is an honorary title, and not everyone can be called it.
Others don't say it, let's just say Lin Zhiying, he didn't even make it to the top ten idols, how did he become the king of the four idols?
If you really want to say so, then our Hong Kong Sun Yaowei is now so popular in your treasure island, and he was voted into the eighth place of the top ten idols, does that mean that he can replace Lin Zhiying? ”
The voice of the Hong Kong media, and then, the media in the two places directly set off a war of scolding.
Today, I will cite some of the deeds of the four idols and kings, and tomorrow I will take the deeds of the four kings.
The two sides come and go, and they are scolded in the media.
Even, because the media and newspapers in the two places are not in circulation, in order to make it easier to know the scolding words on the other side, many media in the two places have even directly opened branch offices in Baodao and Hong Kong to learn about the news here, and then send it back for people to analyze, and then wait for the newspaper to scold.
The media in the two places quarreled over the affairs of the four idol kings and the four kings.
Of course, Chen Qiming also knows.
However, he, like several other parties, although he was concerned, basically did not speak out, and just sat back and watched the two sides spray each other.
"Don't take Chen Qiming out to talk about it, I said before, Chen Qiming is indeed a good, and I admit it, but he is powerful, he is powerful, is there no other record to be taken out of the four idol kings except Chen Qiming?
If you talk about the Four Idol Kings and take Chen Qiming to talk about it, then the Four Idol Kings simply don't talk about four, just change it to Chen Qiming.
Since there are four, the status and popularity of the four should be quite equal.
But for now, it's clearly not ......"
Looking at the newspaper from Hong Kong in his hand, Chen Qiming couldn't help but shake his head.
Obviously, the Treasure Island side has fallen behind in this scolding battle.
As for the reason, it is mainly the four heavenly kings, although they were suppressed by Chen Qiming to a certain extent.
But compared with Wu Qilong, Lin Zhiying and Takeshi Kaneshiro, their popularity and achievements are much higher.
Not to mention comparing popularity in Hong Kong, even in the treasure island, the four kings are not inferior to the four idol kings.
In particular, the Hong Kong media played Lai Pi, and directly took Chen Qiming out first, admitting that Chen Qiming was awesome, and seized the uneven strength of the four idols and kings to talk about it.
And the Four Idol Heavenly Kings, if it weren't for Chen Qiming's joining, they would have been called the Four Little Heavenly Kings.
Without Chen Qiming, the other three, except for Wu Qilong, who can fight against the Four Heavenly Kings alone, the other two are really inferior to the Four Heavenly Kings.
Some people may say that Lin Zhiying was also popular in Asia in 92, and it was a small whirlwind before Chen Qiming.
But if you say that, the Hong Kong media will immediately take Aaron Kwok out and talk about it.
Hit Asia? Who hasn't been popular among the Four Heavenly Kings?
Let's talk about Aaron Kwok, the song "Can't Stop Loving You" directly swept the whole Chinese-speaking region, and once brought a trend called Aaron Kwok at that time.
In the two years of 90 and 91, how popular was Aaron Kwok?
Not to mention anything else, why was Lin Zhiying discovered by Xia Chunyong?
It's not because he looks like Aaron Kwok.
Then, the style of his first record was also straight to Aaron Kwok.
As for saying that Takeshi Kaneshiro is handsome!
To tell the truth, except for Jacky Cheung, the four heavenly kings are not synonymous with handsome.
Handsome is just a foundation, not an achievement.
Not to mention, Jacky Cheung, the least handsome person, was the second best-selling Chinese record in 1993.
In short, when Chen Qiming is not taken out, the Baodao media really can't talk about Hong Kong.
However, it is certainly impossible for the Baodao media to really listen to the Hong Kong media and not compare Chen Qiming.
Every time, as soon as there was a tendency to scold, they immediately enlarged their moves and mentioned Chen Qiming.
If you say that Andy Lau is the most popular person in Asia, I will immediately take out Chen Qiming.
As the most popular Hong Kong and Taiwan male singer in 13 Asian countries in 1993, Chen Qiming directly attacked Andy Lau.
Then, if you talk about Jacky Cheung's sales, it doesn't matter, Chen Qiming is higher, and the record sales data of 7 million is still stepping on Jacky Cheung's upper position, which is more convincing.
Then, what is the first place on the Japanese public trust list, what is the Golden Horse Award actor and a bunch of titles are thrown out, which directly caused Hong Kong to scold Chen Qiming for not being counted.
However, although when scolding the Hong Kong media, Chen Qiming will always be mentioned at critical moments.
But the treasure island side has actually been influenced by the Hong Kong media.
That is, when many media mention Chen Qiming, I don't know whether it is intentional or for other reasons, they no longer add the title of the four idol kings in front of him, but call Chen Qiming more as the first pop king in the Chinese music scene.
Even, on January 3, the Times Weekly here on the treasure island directly proposed to re-elect the four idol kings.
What they mean is that Chen Qiming has obviously gone beyond this category, and he should not be lined up with Wu Qilong and others.
It's a pity that Times Weekly's proposal didn't get much of the approval from the fan audience.
In the eyes of fans, Chen Qiming is the number one idol of the current treasure island.
Even if his popularity strength has surpassed the other three by too much, it would be disrespectful to him to kick him out of this title.
Moreover, without Chen Qiming, the number one idol of the treasure island, what is the point of the so-called four idol kings?
So, in the end, this matter had to be settled.
The Baodao media and the Hong Kong media directly scolded each other for nearly a week, and it was not until the arrival of the Baodao Top Ten Idol Awards Ceremony that it gradually subsided.
January 7.
In 1993, the Top Ten Idol Awards Ceremony was officially held at the Municipal Gymnasium.
Since the stadium was put into use, Chen Qiming held his first concert here, it has been frequently used for performance activities.
Because of the size of the place, every ticket sale starts long in advance.
Just like the top ten idols this time, United Daily News started selling tickets before the Golden Horse Awards, and it was not until January 5 that the ticket sales activities were stopped.
And the ticket sales for many consecutive days also made the number of attendees at this award ceremony several times higher than last year.
This year, more than 30,000 fans are expected to attend.
With more than 30,000 people at the award ceremony, you can imagine the popularity at that time.
As soon as the awards began, the entire venue entered an unusually hot atmosphere.
Every time an artist appears, there will be a wave of cheers.
If the Golden Horse Awards are judged on acting skills, the audience doesn't understand it.
Then the top ten idols are the popularity of the evaluation.
There is no doubt that the ten voted may be different from the actual situation in terms of ranking, but these people are definitely the most popular existence in Treasure Island this year.
These ten people, let one out at random and walk on the street, they are all existences that can cause chasing.
This year's Top 10 Idol votes are not much different from last year's list.
But there are also differences, some people are not selected, and there are also newcomers who have made it to the list.
First vote for the first place.
Chen Qiming won the first place with 130,000 terrifying votes.
The second is Andy Lau, whose voting score is 100,000.
In fact, from the voting data, we can roughly analyze the difference in the popularity of the people on the current list.
Chen Qiming and Andy Lau both had more than 100,000 votes.
But the gap between the rest of the people and the other two is very large.
Aaron Kwok, who ranked third, only had 51,000 tickets.
Then Pan Meichen, who was fourth, got 46,000 tickets.
Fifth, Wu Qilong, 44,000 sheets.
Sixth, Takeshi Kaneshiro, 40,000 sheets.
Seventh, L. A. Boyz, 38,000 sheets.
Eighth, Sun Yaowei, 36,000 sheets.
Ninth, dawn, thirty-four thousand.
tenth, Yin Nengjing, 30,000 sheets.
This year, the total number of votes increased by more than 100,000 compared with last year, reaching more than 500,000.
Among them, Chen Qiming and Andy Lau accounted for almost half of the votes, and then the others divided the other half or so.
According to Baodao, the four kings of Hong Kong and the four idols of heaven have tied in this wave.
Among the top ten idols, there are three people on each side.
However, this year's Lin Zhiying is really pulling.
Last year he was still voted third, and this year, he fell directly out of the top 10.
I have to say that the change of dynasty in the entertainment industry is really fast, especially idols, if there is no continuous output of works, they will soon be eliminated, and then replaced by newcomers.
This year, there are new ones, L. A. Boyz (Los Angeles Three Brothers) and Sun Yaowei.
Among them, the Los Angeles Three Brothers successfully carved out a world on Treasure Island with two rap albums with a strong American hip-hop style, and won the seventh place among the top ten idols.
And then Sun Yaowei.
This is a Hong Kong native, but he made his debut on Treasure Island.
In 92, he participated in a talent competition in Hong Kong, was favored by the record company of Treasure Island, and then brought it to Treasure Island.
After he signed with Baodao Records, his first album "It's Good to Know You" sold 500,000 copies.
Among them, the song "It's Good to Know You" was also selected by Coca-Cola and became Coca-Cola's Treasure Island advertising song.
Others, mostly old faces from last year.
Wu Qilong had a hard encounter with Chen Qiming and Jacky Cheung in March, although he was torn to shreds and reduced to cannon fodder, but that album also sold millions of copies, which made him popular.
As for Pan Meichen, this tomboy has released two records in a row this year, and although the sales volume did not exceed one million, they both reached 700,000 and 600,000 respectively.
Coupled with her previous popularity, she climbed one more place than last year and ranked fourth.
Others, this year more or less have outstanding masterpieces.
Even Yi Nengjing, who is ranked tenth.
She collaborated with Chen Qiming on a song "I Have to Love".
Although this song is not a well-known masterpiece in Chen Qiming, it has successfully attracted a lot of popularity for her, allowing her to continue to be on the top ten idol list.
Only Takeshi Kaneshiro......
Well, Takeshi Kaneshiro has improved this year.
When it comes to works, he really can't come up with works that are on fire.
But this year, he has starred in many movies and TV series, which has increased his popularity.
At the same time, with his excellent appearance and fashion taste, he has successfully carved a path in the fashion industry.
There is a certain popularity in the fashion circle throughout Asia.
Coupled with Fulong's behind, he naturally continues to be among the top ten idols.
Because it was voted first.
Therefore, Chen Qiming finally realized the feeling of Andy Lau at a glance last year.
Well, it doesn't feel anything.
It was when the last appearance was that the cheers were louder and the fans were more frenetic.
Then there was a little more time to give the acceptance speech.
Like last year, this year's Chen Qiming still has two awards.
In addition to the top ten idols, the best styling idol continues to be won by him.
No way, the poster sales list in the Chinese region of Asia is the first, he is not the best style.
The best series of the year, though.
That is, in addition to the top ten idols, the other best idol awards, this year's selection rules have changed.
Last year, whether it was the best styling idol or the best singing idol, it was all voted by fans.
This year, the five professional awards were voted for by members of the professional media.
Although it is also a vote, because of the different representatives and the direction of viewing, the winners selected are naturally different.
The five best idols, which are:
Best Singing Idol: Jacky Cheung
Best Team Idol: L. A. Boyz
Best Image Idol: Su Youpeng
Best Styling Idol: Chen Qiming
The most potential newcomer: Sun Yaowei
With "Kiss Goodbye", Jacky Cheung still gained a lot of popularity on Treasure Island.
Although he was not selected as one of the top ten idols, this best singing idol was still given to him.
All right!
In this way, the four kings of Hong Kong have won the top ten idols.
This only embarrassed Baodao Media and Lin Zhiying.
Although Lin Zhiying released more than one album in 1993.
But except for the "Drama Dream" EP at the beginning of the year, the sales of the next two records are very low, only more than 300,000 copies.
This number seems to be very good in the music scene as a whole.
But among the top ten idols, there is a gap.
In addition, he was busy with concerts this year, but the concert did not cause any waves, so naturally there was no heat.
If there is no heat, naturally no one will vote for him.
If the previous confrontation between the Baodao media and the Hong Kong media had been a little earlier, maybe they could have taken advantage of the popularity of the four idol kings to throw him in.
Unfortunately, the polls stopped in December.
So even though the four idol kings have just been hyped, they have not created a chance for him to enter the top ten idols.
