Chapter 225: Breaking History
In mid-July, the filming of "Fengyun" entered the advanced stage.
On July 16, Chen Qiming temporarily bid farewell to the crew and flew back to Hong Kong.
There were two things he did when he came back from this trip.
First, the literary film "Chongqing Forest" will be officially released on the 20th, and he needs to cooperate with the publicity.
The second is that his English album has been released and plans to start promoting it in the near future.
These two things, the publicity of "Chongqing Forest" is dispensable, after all, this movie has already spread in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
At the beginning, when the love affair between Chen Qiming and Chen Derong was rumored, there were a bunch of reporters guarding the filming location of this movie every day.
Under the propaganda of these journalists, the film has long been known.
Almost everyone knows that Chan Kai-ming is filming Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest".
Therefore, now that this movie is released, Chen Qiming does not need to follow too much publicity.
When he came back this time, he mostly went through the motions.
His main purpose is actually to be on English records.
As the first English record to test the waters of the European and American markets.
Chen Qiming will break into Europe and the United States and become a superstar with real influence on a global scale.
If not, he may need to continue to consolidate in the Chinese music scene for a few more years before expanding the market there.
Superstar, a superstar like Michael Jackson, this is definitely a very tempting target for Chen Qiming.
Returning to Hong Kong with Chen Qiming was Chen Derong.
She stayed in the mainland with the Fengyun crew for two months, and the news about her from the outside world has gradually disappeared.
After Chen Qiming's fans didn't see the news about her, few people have boycotted her recently.
Singapore has already re-aired "Plum Blossom Three Alleys: Water and Clouds" on TV.
Perhaps because of the increase in popularity, after the rebroadcast of this TV series a few days ago, the ratings have increased significantly.
After some careful investigation and research, it was found that the source of all this came from Chen Derong.
Many fans of Chen Qiming, or passers-by after seeing the last love news, are curious, and want to see what kind of person who is in love with Chen Qiming and what charm they have.
As a result, after the rerun of this TV series, the ratings have increased.
Influenced by the rebroadcast of "Plum Blossom Three Alleys: Water and Clouds" in Singapore, many producers in Hong Kong have moved their minds.
Many companies have sent invitations to Chen Derong and invited her to appear in the movie.
Among them, there is also a movie "The Killer's Fairy Tale" starring Andy Lau.
It just so happened that she was fine with the Fengyun crew, so when Chen Qiming came back, she followed her back to Hong Kong.
When he returned to Hong Kong this time, Chen Qiming did not give the media a chance to photograph the two together.
As soon as they returned to Hong Kong, they separated and went about their own work.
Chen Derong went to meet with the film company that had made an invitation to her.
Chen Qiming devoted himself to the promotion of the film "Chongqing Forest" that night.
That night, he attended a TVB variety show with Faye Wong, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Lin Qingxia.
Recently, although Chen Qiming is not in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he is in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but he is not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes have his legends.
During his time in the mainland, "Star Storm" continued to sell well.
In June, the album was hanging high at the top of the sales charts.
It wasn't until July that the album, which had been released for more than three months, was squeezed out of the top spot on the sales charts for the first time.
And it was none other than Zhou Huajian's "I Actually Don't Want to Go".
The album's sales figures have been very stable, and after its release, the decline has been slow.
On the contrary, Chen Qiming's "Star Storm" has been released for too long, and the decline rate has exceeded that of "I Actually Don't Want to Go".
However, although it was robbed of the championship by "I Don't Actually Want to Go".
But "Storm of the Stars" has created a myth.
As of July 15, the sales of this album officially exceeded the 8.5 million mark, breaking the record of "Too Soft Heart" and becoming the highest-selling record of the year in the Chinese music scene and even in the whole of Asia.
Hong Kong Oriental Daily once commented on Chen Qiming because of this record.
"This is a man who keeps miracles, he continues to create miracles, and the annual sales record of the Chinese music scene continues to push forward.
He has been breaking the historical record, but he doesn't seem to have broken it, because the historical record holder has always been him.
It's hard to imagine anyone who will be able to break his record in the future.
is Jacky Cheung, who won 6 million sales with a "Kiss Goodbye"? Is Andy Lau, who is popular all over Asia with "Forget Love Water"? Or is it Zhou Huajian who broke Chen Qiming's championship monopoly? Or is it someone else? ”
Oriental Daily was originally a newspaper with extremely high sales, and as soon as this report was released, it immediately reached Jacky Cheung and others.
Seeing the Oriental Daily speculate which of them will break this record.
Jacky Cheung was silent and silently lit a cigarette.
Andy Lau coughed and threw the newspaper into the trash.
Zhou Huajian looked at the article fixedly, and couldn't help but shake his head halfway.
Breaking Chen Qiming's record, to be honest, no one dares to think about it.
Whether it is Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau or Zhou Huajian, they may have thought about it, but it is really difficult to achieve this goal.
Eight and a half million!
This data is still going up, such a terrifying record data, who dares to think about it.
At present, the closest thing to this goal is Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye".
But even this closest record is far from Chen Qiming's record.
Another record of such a classic.
To be honest, Jacky Cheung didn't think about it himself.
The sales figures of an album are unpredictable.
Sometimes, albums of golden songs are buried.
Similarly, bad albums will also sell well.
When it comes to sales, no one can guarantee it.
Just like Chen Qiming, when "Star Storm" was released, his goal was not to break the record of "Too Soft Heart", but to stabilize it.
Who would have thought that as soon as this album was released, it would immediately spread like a raging fire.
Therefore, for breaking Chen Qiming's record, everyone thinks about it, if you really want to do it, it is definitely more difficult than climbing to the sky.
"Star Storm" broke the record of "Too Soft Heart" and spread widely in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Everyone knows that Chen Qiming has broken the record again.
In this regard, the media has hyped it up.
But when it comes to the audience, many people don't seem to pay much attention to this news.
It's not that I don't pay attention.
It's Chen Qiming who is breaking the record every day.
From the very beginning of the surprise, they don't know how many times they were surprised.
By now, they have been immune to the news that Chen Qiming broke the historical record.
In their opinion, let alone the record of eight and a half million.
is 10 million, Chen Qiming should not be too difficult to break.
