Regarding Chen Qiming's first English record, both Chen Qiming himself and Fulong attach great importance to it.

At present, Chen Qiming is definitely the first person in the Chinese music scene.

In terms of popularity, appeal, or talent, Chen Qiming is definitely unique in the Chinese-speaking region.

Even, in Japan and South Korea and other places, he is now a proper international superstar.

With such a status in Asia, Chen Qiming's first English-language album that he is preparing to break into Europe and the United States cannot be sloppy in any way.

In order to make Chen Qiming's English records sell more well in Europe and the United States, and to enter the European and American markets more easily, before the album officially began to be prepared, Chen Qiming and Fulong negotiated with Warner Records and decided to hand over the agency of Chen Qiming's English records to Warner Records.

This is also a last resort.

If in Japan, Fulong still has some connections to promote Chen Qiming's record release, then in Europe and the United States, Fulong really has no connections at all.

In this era when record distribution relies on distribution channels and various traditional print media promotions.

If a company can't do one of the above two things, then no matter how popular your record quality is, how popular you are in other regions, you want to sell big, it's absolutely impossible.

Look at Michael Jackson, who is so popular around the world, but the Asian market is not the same as having to rely on Sony Records for representation.

Therefore, a collaboration with Warner Records was inevitable.

Of course, other records like Polygram and EMI are also possible.

But who let Warner Records give more!

After hearing that Chen Qiming was going to release an English record, Warner Records immediately came to the door, waved 10 million yuan, and won Chen Qiming's English record agency.

Note that it is an English record, not an agency for all records.

Since Chen Qiming became popular in Asia, Fulong has split Chen Qiming's record agency, and every time he asks other companies to act as an agent, he only chooses to be represented by language, region or single album.

Although this is troublesome, it should be said or not, the result of this is that both Chen Qiming and Fulong Company have made a lot of money because of it.

Let's just talk about the agency of Japanese records.

Warner Records paid five million in agency fees, and that's just a year.

Now the English record is 10 million agency fees, and Fulong and Chen Qiming have simply made a lot of money.

Of course, Fulong Company and Chen Qiming's repeated buying and selling of agency rights as commodities naturally made Warner Records very angry.

But there is no way, Chen Qiming can do this now.

His huge popularity in the Chinese music scene has given him plenty of confidence, and his current success in the Japanese market has increased his value again.

If Warner Records is unwilling to accept Chen Qiming's conditions, Fulong will immediately contact EMI and other records for cooperation.

At present, other international record companies, including EMI and Polygram, have long been coveted by Chen Qiming.

At the first opportunity, they will never give up the opportunity to dig into the corner of Warner Records.

There are other companies eyeing it, plus Warner Records agent Chen Qiming's Japanese records and Chinese records have indeed made a lot of money.

Therefore, even if they knew that it was shameful for Fulong Company and Chen Qiming to split and sell the record agency, they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

After confirming the partner to work with, Chen Qiming immediately seized the time to start the production of his first English record.

Because it was the first English record to be released, Chen Qiming chose to be conservative and chose to make EP to test the waters.

The three songs are the ones he prepared before.

"Take Me to Your Heart", Kiss Goodbye in English.

According to Chen Qiming's message from the dream, this cover kiss goodbye song was released in 2004, and once released, it was immediately widely sung in Europe and the United States.

This song is also a rare song that has been covered from Chinese into English and has been successful in the international market.

《Lemon Tree》。

If "Take Me to Your Heart" is widely sung in the international market, then this "Lemon Tree" is undoubtedly a hit.

It is just like Lin Zhiying's "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season" in 1992, after its release in 1995, it directly made the German group called Fool's Garden Band directly popular in the world and swept Europe and the United States.

《That Girl》。

Dream later British singer Olly Murs (one of the representatives of Ollie Morse.

Although the style of music is more advanced, this song is undoubtedly an absolutely classic good song.

According to the information in the dream, after the release of this song, it quickly became popular all over the world and was a hit song.

Three songs, each of which has been watched more than a billion songs on the Chinese music platform in later generations.

And this is in China.

In China, where English songs are not very popular, there is a huge number of streams, and you can imagine the power of these three songs.

Therefore, for this EP, Chen Qiming is very confident.

He believes that with these three songs, he will definitely be able to successfully enter the European and American markets.

Not to mention directly ranking among the top English singers, how can you say that you will also gain good word-of-mouth popularity!

The production of English records is troublesome.

Fulong does not have a professional English record producer.

Therefore, after discussing with Warner Records, Fulong paid to invite a professional English record production team from Europe and the United States to come to Baodao to cooperate with Chen Qiming in record production.

Originally, according to the idea of Fulong Records, it was directly spent a lot of money to hire a top European and American producer to produce it for Chen Qiming.

A number of consecutive Chinese albums have made Fulong earn a lot of money, and what he has in his hand is money.

Now, Chen Qiming has become a cash cow in Ge Fuhong's eyes.

Her trust in Chen Qiming may be more than Chen Qiming's trust in herself.

After listening to Chen Qiming's three English song samples, she fully believed that this song would be successful in Europe and the United States, so she was willing to spend money.

However, Chen Qiming rejected her idea of paying for a top European and American producer.

For this English record, Chen Qiming intends to be the producer himself.

After recording many albums, he has a basic understanding of the procedures and knowledge of record production.

Coupled with the fact that these songs were all taken out by him, no one knows these songs better than him except the author of the dream.

So, he chose to be the producer himself.

Although this will make him more busy, he is responsible for the checks, and the finished product of the song will definitely be closer to the original and more likely to be successful.

And when Chen Qiming was making songs, Warner Records was not idle.

They began to carry out propaganda against Chen Qiming on a small scale in Europe and the United States.

The publicity mainly revolves around Chen Qiming's top Asian superstar.
