On July 22, "That Girl" officially debuted worldwide.

Of course, although it is said that it is global, the main concentration is actually in Asia and the United States and Canada.

Needless to say, Asia, Chen Qiming's home base.

As Asia's current first-class superstar.

The reason why Warner Records paid 10 million to win the agency rights of this record.

The main focus is on Chen Qiming's influence in Asia.

Warner Records knew very well that even if the EP was not a huge success in Europe and the United States, sales in Asia alone would be enough for them to earn back the agency fee.

After all, Japan and South Korea are the godsons of Europe and the United States.

Both places have a very high level of English proficiency.

Especially Japan.

Even the biggest names in English singers such as Michael Jackson and Madonna had to go to Japan to promote their albums when they released their records.

From this, you can see the popularity of English records here.

It's not nice to say.

If Michael Jackson's records don't sell well in Japan, South Korea, or Asia.

Then they can't travel thousands of miles here every year to publicize.

The promotion of the record by the singer has always looked at the market.

Speaking of Chen Qiming, when he promoted his Chinese records, he mainly focused on places that he thought could sell more sales and have more potential.

In Japan and South Korea, Chen Qiming himself has a strong appeal.

In Japan, Chen Qiming won the Best Record award just two months ago.

Although I dare not say that it is in the ascendant in Japan, he is definitely a first-class person.

Therefore, when this English album is released, it can be imagined......

Compared with Asia, the United States and Canada should be regarded as the main strategy of Chen Qiming's record.

In the English record, Chen Qiming is indeed an out-and-out newcomer.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have a bit of influence here.

One or two million Chinese groups are his most solid backing.

And this backing has almost been liberated in several Chinese records before Chen Qiming.

The previous few records.

"Trendy People" can not be mentioned.

But the three albums "Fairy Tale", "Too Soft Heart" and "Star Storm" definitely have a good influence among the Chinese community in the United States and Canada.

These three albums have sold more than 6 million copies in the United States and Canada.

Spread it evenly, basically each one has about two million.

This data, if it is placed on local singers in the United States and Canada, will also be a very good achievement.

After Chen Qiming's "That Girl" was released in the United States and Canada, the first thing I paid attention to was those Chinese fans who knew Chen Qiming.

Leehom Wang is one of them.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he got up to wash up, and after breakfast, he quickly left the house with his schoolbag on his back.

At the door, he meets his good friend Alan, whom he had made an appointment with yesterday.

Alan is a Jew.

Jews are notoriously unpopular.

Some people may think that it is only in Europe, not in the United States.

Actually, it's wrong.

In the United States, they are on the excluded side.

There is a chain of discrimination in the United States.

The highest is Anglo-Saxon, the so-called WASP = White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

This is followed by other whites such as the Irish, Germans, Italians, etc.

Jews are not strictly white, they are an ambiguous zone between white and non-white.

They were discriminated against when they were in Europe.

After coming to the United States, although the Jews quickly controlled most of the financial power in the United States by virtue of their own intelligence.

But it is precisely because they are too rich that they are also discriminated against.

Wang Leehom and Allen studied in the same school, and they were always bullied in middle school.

So, naturally, they became good friends.

"LeeHom, is that Asian singer you're talking about really that good?"

After the two met, they went straight to the video store on the street, and as they walked, Alan asked.

"Of course, he's my favorite singer! My goal is to be like him.

I've decided that I'll go back to Asia after graduation, and I'm going to be a singer too!

This is his first English record, which I listened to on the radio last night and it was really good. ”

The two of them were talking, and they had already arrived at the video store on the corner.

This video store is called Hao Kee Audio.

It is a video store owned by Chinese.

Most of the records in the store are mainly records of Chinese singers.

Chen Qiming, Teresa Teng, Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Hong Kong's Four Heavenly Kings, Zhou Huajian and so on.

It can be said that almost all the records of popular singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan can be seen here.

"Chen Qiming's first English album ", "That Girl" is hotly released! Don't miss it when you walk by! ”

Outside the video store, a big red banner was pulled, with this row of large English characters written on it.

The walls next to the gate are also plastered with posters of Chen Qiming.

These posters are all brand new.

Wang Leehom made a judgment with just a glance.

As an iron fan of Chen Qiming, although he does not collect a large number of Chen Qiming posters like those female fans.

But because he often pays attention, he also clearly knows what posters Chen Qiming will have for each record.

In addition, although Chen Qiming's posters will have English on them before, they are generally only under the Chinese name.

This time it's different.

This time, there was noticeably more English on the posters at the door.

Especially that biggest propaganda poster.

Above, Chen Qiming sat lazily on the black sofa, like a king waiting for the minister to meet.

Next to the portrait, the English characters of "That Girl" are very conspicuous, and below "That Girl", there is a Chinese translation of "That Girl".

"That's cool!"

Glancing at Chen Qiming on the poster, Wang Leehom couldn't help but say.

When I came to the video store, there were many customers today.

Most of them are Chinese, and there are some whites and blacks interspersed among them.

In the stereo of the video store, a pleasant singing voice is being heard.

【I keep saying no

I've always denied it

This can't be the way we're supposed to be

This should not be our result

I keep saying no

I've always denied it

There's gotta be a way to get you close to me

There must be a way for us to do it all over again.]

"Whose song is this, it's very good!"

Hearing this song, Alan couldn't help but turn his head to look into the store.

Hearing this, Wang Leehom couldn't help but smile proudly, "This is Jamie's song, and there are two other songs, both of which are as good as this one." ”

As they spoke, they went in and bought the record.

At this moment, Wang Leehom suddenly felt a strong force coming, lifting him to the side.

"Falk ......"

Wang Leehom couldn't help but scold, and when he saw the other party clearly, he immediately shut up.

The person who pushed him away was not just one, but several guys.

They all have tattoos on their hands and faces.

Moreover, Wang Leehom also saw the gang logo in it.

"Boss, bring me ten copies of Jamie Chen's 'That Girl'."

The tattooed man in the lead rushed to the counter and said loudly.

As he spoke, he turned back to the people behind him and said, "This record is really good, it's definitely the coolest record of the year." ”

"Jerry, I don't want to buy it, I can't afford to eat bread lately!"

At the end, a thin man said with a bitter face.

"No! You also have to learn that we are all a gang, not only do you have to tattoo the same logo, but you also have to listen to the same songs! ”

Jerry in front refused.

"Wait, let them buy it first!"

Outside the door, Wang Leehom grabbed Allen and spoke.

Although the other party came to buy the record of his idol Chen Qiming, which made him very excited, considering that the other party was a gang member, he felt that it was better to stay away.
