Chapter 193: English Song

On the 21st, the sixth day of the release of Chen Qiming's "Storm of Stars", the total sales reached 2.7 million copies.

This terrifying achievement has left those who follow him completely speechless.

"The first person in the music world"

"No. 1 in Asia"

"God of Song"

All kinds of titles were crowned on him.

It was also on this day that Andy Lau's "Forget Love Water" was finally fully released in Chinese-speaking areas.

In one day, the record sold 340,000 copies.

At the same time, the two songs "Forget Love Water" and "Lingering" also entered the top ten of the major gold song lists

Among them, the song "Forget Love Water" climbed to the fourth place with its catchy tune.

However, even if this sales and results are very impressive, it is even enough to go down in history.

But under the comparison of Chen Qiming's data of 700,000 in a single day, it also dwarfs Andy Lau.

"Following Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau also fell under Chen Qiming's knife!" β€”β€”Taipei Daily.

Chen Qiming: Who else? Who else can be my enemy? β€”Times Weekly.

"Chen Qiming has proved himself, he is the first person in the Chinese music scene, no one can compare with him!" -- Minsheng Daily.

The reports of the major media on the treasure island all carry a little bit of geographical exclusion.

Compared with the media on the island, the media in Hong Kong rarely reported similar news.

They neither refuted the Treasure Island media nor blackmailed Chen Qiming, but turned the topic to the upcoming Academy Awards.

Well, since you can't scold the treasure island, then just change the topic.

Anyway, there is also Chen Qiming at the Academy Awards, and the newspaper sales are still not worried.

"Can Chen Qiming get the Golden Statue Actor? 》

"New Love May Become the Biggest Winner of the Academy Awards"

"Following the Golden Horse Awards, Jackie Chan, Leung Ka-fai, and Chen Qiming compete for the best actor again"

"Who is the actor? 》

While Hong Kong and Taiwan were reporting different news, Chen Qiming also flew to Hong Kong.

In addition to being a finalist at this year's Academy Awards, he was also invited to be an assistant guest, and he will also be the guest presenter for Best Director.

"Ming Tsai! You've once again broken the record for record sales, and you've been called the number one in the music scene, what do you think about that? ”

"Ming Zai, do you think you can win the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards this time?"

"Ah Ming, Li Jiaxin said in an interview yesterday that he will cooperate with you in a drama next, can you reveal what kind of drama it is?"

"Ming Zai, Andy Lau's record sales reached 300,000 on the first day, although this data is not as good as yours, but it is also a record with big sales, what is your evaluation of this record?"

Get off the plane.

In addition to a large number of fans, there are also a lot of journalists.

The reporters gathered around Mr. Chen to ask about recent events related to him.

"I'm just a singer, and I can't influence what others say about me!"

About the first person in the music scene.

This title is shouted by others that it's okay, and Chen Qiming himself must not talk nonsense on it.

China is a country of etiquette, and humility is a necessary quality for all.

Others call him the first person in the music world, that's a fact.

But if he himself flaunts himself like this, it will definitely cause disgust among fans and even everyone.

This would make him appear unhumble and arrogant!

Well, Chen Qiming himself doesn't understand why this happens......

"Of course I want to win Best Actor, but it's up to the organizers!"

To win the actor, of course Chen Qiming is willing.

Personally, though, he doesn't think there is much hope.

Just like when the Golden Horse Awards were awarded to the actor, the award was given to him, a treasure island native, and the Academy Awards also have certain geographical restrictions.

He thinks that nine times out of ten, this award will be awarded to Hong Kong movie stars.

Of course, there are no absolutes, and there may be accidents, so he won't say it all.

"I'm also very much looking forward to working with Ms. Li Jiaxin, she said that the movie should be "The Storm Dominates the World", and we may have a collaboration in this play! Stay tuned! ”

Recently, Chen Qiming has become popular all over the Taiwan Strait, and news of his records is everywhere.

This will inevitably lead to the emergence of some people who rub his popularity.

Li Jiaxin is one of them.

Because she starred in one of the MVs on this record, she intersected with Chen Qiming, so she often talked about him in the media.

It just so happened that Liu Weiqiang sent invitations to many popular actresses in Hong Kong, inviting them to audition for the role of Kong Ci in "The Storm Dominates the World".

In the end, with her beauty and performance in "Drunken Fist 3" in the first half of the year, Li Jiaxin was confirmed to play this role.

The name "Drunken Fist 3" looks a lot like the third part of Jackie Chan's "Drunken Fist".

But in fact it is not.

This drama is a movie shot by Jackie Chan because Liu Jialiang had a conflict with Jackie Chan when he was filming "Drunken Fist 2", and he shot it for disgusting and benchmarking Jackie Chan.

In this play, Liu Jialiang brought Andy Lau, Zheng Shaoqiu, Liu Jiahui and others.

In the end, the movie was released at the same time as "Drunken Fist 2", but was beaten to autism by "Drunken Fist 2" and failed at the box office, so Liu Jialiang directly announced his temporary retirement.

Although the film was a box office failure, it was not without merit.

Li Jiaxin is incredibly beautiful in the movie, and directly killed Andy Lau, Zheng Shaoqiu and other actors in seconds, becoming the most brilliant existence in this play.

"Brother Hua is a senior I respect very much, and I personally like his record very much, especially the song "Forget Love Water", which is the same as Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye" last year, which are my two favorite songs in the past two years.

I also asked them for autographed records of these two records! ”

Although the sales of Andy Lau's "Forget Love Water" were rubbed by themselves, it is undeniable that Andy Lau's song and this record are really very good.

In Chen Qiming's view, this record can be called Andy Lau's best record in recent years.

Therefore, Chen Qiming's above remarks are sincere.

And the reason why "Kiss Goodbye" is mentioned is because he really likes this song.

Especially recently, he dreamed of a song called "Take Me to Your Heart".

This English song adapted from "Kiss Goodbye" is really good.

It just so happens that in the second half of the year, he plans to release an English EP to test the waters, and at present, in addition to the previous "That Girl", "Lemon Tree" is still one song away.

Therefore, when he came to Hong Kong this time, he planned to meet Jacky Cheung to see if he could get the English adaptation copyright of the song.

After getting rid of the reporters, Chen Qiming and his entourage immediately left the airport by car.

Chen Qiming first went to Qiming Film and Television.

The planning of "Storm and Clouds" has been completed, although the filming date of this film has been postponed to July for various reasons, but Chen Qiming still has to see a lot of work on the film.

After getting a general understanding of the preparation of the movie in real time, Chen Qiming went to Peacebird again.

After several months of development, Peacebird has gradually stepped onto the right track.

Although so far, the company has not been profitable.

But with Chen Qiming's endorsement and the fact that he wears this brand clothes to attend events from time to time.

At present, Peacebird has become completely famous.

Especially in Hong Kong and Taiwan, this brand endorsed by Chen Qiming has gained a certain popularity among young people.

The matter of Peacebird does not require too much intervention by Chen Qiming.

He set up an investment company in Hong Kong, transferred all his shares to this company, and this company was in charge of Peacebird, and then he only needed to be in charge of the investment company.

Not only Peacebird, but even the shares of Qiming Film and Television, he also transferred all the shares to this investment company.

Well, if he didn't find it too troublesome, he would still want to set up a baby a few more times.

There is nothing wrong with the Peacebird's side that Chen Qiming should worry about.

After a round tour, he returned to his villa in Hong Kong.

In the evening, he held a banquet and invited many acquaintances from Hong Kong.

Jacky Cheung, Li Ming, Er Dongsheng, Liu Weiqiang, Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai and others.

Of course, women are also indispensable.

However, he did not invite those who had a relationship with him, but invited Wang Zuxian, Lin Qingxia, Maggie Cheung and other people who were just friends.

In the past few years, Chen Qiming has been running around Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he still has a lot of friends.

There are dozens of people who came, all of whom had contact and had a good chat.

After some cup and cup change, everyone began to chat with their acquaintances in the courtyard outside the villa.

Chen Qiming also took the initiative to find Jacky Cheung and told him his idea of wanting an English version of the song "Kiss Goodbye".

Hearing that Chen Qiming was going to adapt his own song, Jacky Cheung looked at Chen Qiming with an incredulous expression.

"Do you also have a time when your creativity has reached a bottleneck?" He asked.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming's face darkened.

This guy is cursing himself?

In other words, what would happen to me if I couldn't dream about future songs now?

To be honest, it's scary to think about.

"I like your song a lot, I think if I change it to English, it might be a good song!"

Chen Qiming explained.

"I'll ask the company for you when I get back! But don't expect too much, PolyGram attaches great importance to the copyright of the song, and will not give up the copyright easily! ”

Jacky Cheung nodded and said.

"Thank you!" Chen Qiming raised his glass, and then walked towards Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei not far away.

Originally, Chen Qiming did not plan to invite Wong Kar-wai and others today.

He wasn't very familiar with them.

But it just so happened that Wong Kar-wai wanted to talk to him about the script, so he simply invited them over.

"This is the character script I put together, you can take a look!"

Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei are sitting on the sofa watching VCD.

What is playing inside happens to be Chen Qiming's "New Love".

Seeing Chen Qiming coming, Wong Kar-wai, who was still wearing sunglasses, handed Chen Qiming a piece of paper.

Chen Qiming picked it up and looked at it, there were not many words on it, only more than 100 words.

"The restaurant has a new female recruit, Afei, who is in love with Police 663.

663's girlfriend left him, and Afei opened the letter that 663's girlfriend left at the fast food restaurant to him, took the key to 663's house, and went to his house while 663 was away to quietly change 663's original life.

Finally bumped into 663 one day, 663 suddenly felt the return of feelings.

That night, 663 asked Afei to meet, but learned that Afei had gone to the United States and said that they would meet in a year. A year later, Afie, who had become a flight attendant, returned, and by this time 663 was no longer a police officer, but a fast-food restaurant owner.

When the two met, 663 said that they could go anywhere with Afei! ”

After reading the script, the corners of Chen Qiming's mouth twitched, no wonder everyone said that Wong Kar-wai's movie couldn't be understood.

Don't talk about others, it's him as an actor, looking at this script, he can't figure out what is written!

"Let me tell you! If you can show your acting skills in this play, I guarantee that next year's actor will be the one who didn't run away! ”

Wong Kar-wai pointed to the TV, Chen Qiming cried heartbreakingly, and there was no trace of the shadow of the king Chen Qiming and said.

Syllable!

Liu Zhenwei slapped Wong Kar-wai on the head, "What nonsense! Do you think that the award is opened by your family, and you say that if you can win, you will win the award? ”

Liu Zhenwei slapped him lightly, slapping Wong Kar-wai's sunglasses to the ground.

Wong Kar-wai pursed his lips, picked it up and wiped it, and continued to put it on.

"I just want to say that my play is very honing of acting skills!"

As he spoke, he pouted at Tony Leung outside, "Originally, I planned to invite Tony Leung to act."

I think his melancholy temperament is very appropriate for this role.

But there is no way, you are popular enough, and the investor heard that there was hope for you to act, so he directly put a knife on my neck and said that he must let you come! ”

"Then why don't I quit?"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming was suddenly a little unhappy.

This product is typical, taking advantage of it and selling well.

Could it be that he really thought that he was rare in this play.

"No, it's not necessary!"

Hearing Chen Qiming say this, Wong Kar-wai's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said.

Liu Zhenwei next to him also hurriedly said: "He is joking, you are the first protagonist, this has been decided a long time ago, and it is impossible to change it!" ”

"I'm not kidding, if Director Wang thinks that viagra is more suitable, I can help you invite him to take charge!"

Chen Qiming said with a smile.

For Wong Kar-wai, to be honest, Chen Qiming doesn't like this guy too much.

Indeed, his films seem to be very artistic.

However, it is almost certain that his films do not sell well.

In the past few years, there have been many investors who have been so tricked by him that they want to hack him to death with a knife.

Chen Qiming himself is also a film and television investor, and what he looks down on the most is this kind of goods.

Moreover, starring in this movie, it is obvious that he took advantage.

Now, he actually dislikes him here, looking like the original role is Tony Leung.

"Ahem......"

Wong Kar-wai was stunned by Chen Qiming's two sentences and stopped talking.

Change roles!

If he really wants to replace Chen Qiming with Tony Leung, he dares to guarantee that this time, even if Liu Zhenwei blocks the knife, he will have to kneel!

The studios that have invested in the film have been very excited lately.

Chen Qiming's "Whirlwind Kid" was released in Taipei for less than 20 days, and the total box office has reached 70 million Taiwan dollars.

In Hong Kong, it has been released for a week and has already received 14 million box office.

There is no doubt that Chen Qiming's box office appeal has been perfectly reflected.

In addition, now Chen Qiming's new album has repeatedly broken records and is very popular.

At this time, let alone changing to Tony Leung, or changing to Chow Yun-fat, filmmakers may have to consider it.

Therefore, if he dares to change around, someone will definitely throw him into the sea to feed the fish.

"Ah Ming, he's just joking, don't be angry!"

Liu Zhenwei said with a smile, he changed the topic and said: "I invited Wang Jingwen, that is, Faye Wong, the actress who played opposite you, you know her, right?" If you don't think she's a good fit, we can replace her! ”

"I don't have a problem!"

Although he has opinions about Wong Kar-wai, it does not mean that Chen Qiming wants to play a big name and meddle in the crew's affairs.

He has no opinion on who the characters in the film are, who the producers or the director decides to use.

However, he was still a little surprised that he actually wanted to play against Wang Jingwen.

He didn't expect this movie, which had been recorded in his dreams, to go around and around, and the male protagonist was replaced by him, but he still didn't replace Wang Jingwen.

No, it shouldn't be called Wang Jingwen now, but Faye Wong.

Since last year's album "100,000 Whys", although the cover singer of this record is still dominated by Wang Jingwen, on the inside page of the record and the subtitles in the record, Wang Jingwen began to change her name to Faye Wong.

In February of this year, after she officially entered the treasure island, she directly changed her name to Faye Wong, which can be regarded as a complete change of name.

"When did the film start shooting? You guys should have a specific time! ”

Chen Qiming asked.

Wong Kar-wai always likes to drag, and this movie is no exception.

Originally, it was said that filming would start in April, but there has been no movement so far.

Chen Qiming was worried that filming would start in May, but he would have to go to the soup after his schedule was moved.

Although there is an agreement, if the filming is not good within two months, he can directly quit the crew.

But if it weren't for the last resort, Chen Qiming didn't plan to do it.

If he really quits, it will definitely be very offensive.

"Don't worry about this, it won't be more than the fifteenth at the latest!"

Liu Zhenwei said, paused, and asked: "The movie is a play with a double-line story, and there is another male lead, we have referred to many actors here, and they all feel that it is not suitable, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"What are the characteristics of the character?"

Chen Qiming asked, and the appearance of Takeshi Kaneshiro appeared in his mind.

In the dream, there is not much information about the film "Chongqing Forest", only the cast and some achievements.

So he doesn't know the role too well.

But knowing that Takeshi Kaneshiro starred in this play.

According to Wong Kar-wai, he originally planned to invite Tony Leung to play his role to speculate that the role played by Takeshi Kaneshiro should be another male lead.

"Melancholy, I need male stars with melancholy temperament, such as Zunlong, Leslie Cheung, or Tony Leung."

Wong Kar-wai interjected from the side.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but glance at Wong Kar-wai.

For some reason, this guy always likes to shoot actors with a melancholy temperament.

is not an actor with a melancholy temperament.

It's that most of the male protagonists in his movies have this temperament.

Is melancholy art? Can you be melancholy to have acting skills?

"How's Takeshi Kaneshiro?"

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Qiming still recommended Takeshi Kaneshiro.

He wasn't afraid that Takeshi Kaneshiro's development would be too good and rob him of the position of Fulong's first brother.

As for Takeshi Kaneshiro, a guy who doesn't know anything, if he is given another ten years, he may not be able to replace himself......

"He ......"

Hearing this, Wong Kar-wai frowned, "He is indeed very handsome, but his temperament is ......"

"He's the type of melancholy you say, don't look at him as tough-looking, but he's actually very introverted!"

Chen Qiming explained.

"Understood, I'll invite him to try out the role in two days!"

Wong Kar-wai nodded.
