Chapter 232: Free Tour

Chen Qiming departed for the United States on a flight from Tokyo on 24 July.

At the time, he was promoting the English album in Japan.

Because of the last 3 million Japanese album in Japan as a base, this English album was released in Japan and immediately ushered in a big hit.

As soon as it was released on the 22nd, by the 24th, in just two days, the record had won 90,000 copies in Japan.

This statistic may seem like a no-brainer, but it's already terrifying.

You know, that's two days.

In two days, it was close to the sales of one platinum, which was enough to make Chen Qiming stand out.

Therefore, when the sales over there had just exploded, Chen Qiming left the promotion of "Chongqing Forest" and flew directly to Japan.

It's just that he didn't stay in Japan for a day, and flew to the United States again.

The continuous rush made Chen Qi obviously extremely tired.

But after coming to the United States, he could not rest.

He arrived in the United States in the afternoon.

As soon as he got off the plane and met Mike, he immediately began to run the promotion according to the publicity plan of Warner Records.

Warner Records' promotional plan wasn't complicated.

Just in two directions.

One, on the radio.

No matter how big or small, as long as you can go to the station.

The second is a road tour.

Road tours are a major feature of American singers' promotional records.

The singers rode in cars, shuttling from city to city, and performed in enclosures everywhere they went.

This model is the favorite thing for rock singers in Europe and the United States to do.

Many rock bands have relied on this kind of tour to gradually accumulate popularity and become the top band in the American music scene.

Compared with those unknown young singers and bands on tour, Chen Qiming has the title of Asian superstar after all, and the coffee position is not comparable to them.

Naturally, the scale of this tour is different.

First of all, the first stop.

Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is a region, not a city as everyone thinks it is.

It has a total of five counties and more than 130 cities, forming the largest urban agglomeration in the world.

The city is prosperous and huge.

Chen Qiming's tour here is planned for a total of five performances.

The five tours need to be completed in two days.

It can be said that Chen Qiming needs to be non-stop, and immediately after one performance, he will go straight to the next one.

Of course, because this is a free performance, it is a performance to promote the record and accumulate popularity.

Therefore, the specifications of this performance will definitely not be like a concert.

For example, Chen Qiming's first tour.

The tour took place right in the plaza just outside Los Angeles' Chinatown.

Because it was temporary, it was not advertised in advance.

When Chen Qiming stood on the stage, except for a few black people watching the excitement, there were few audiences.

For no audience, Chen Qiming is not annoyed.

Why did the American music scene become the world's number one record market?

In addition to its developed economy, there are many people who have spare money for entertainment.

The quality and strength of American singers is also an important point.

The prosperity of the entertainment industry has not only made this industry unprecedentedly profitable, but also made the singers here roll each other to the extreme.

Open-air tour, if you don't have any strength, many audiences won't look at you more.

Only those who have the strength and good works will retain the audience when they are touring in the open air.

And now, there is no audience in the audience, it is time to witness Chen Qiming's own quality.

"Hello! Hello! ”

On the stage, Chen Qiming first took the microphone and tried the sound, and after confirming that the microphone was fine, he made an OK gesture to the sound engineer behind him.

The accompaniment sounded.

Chen Qiming picked up the microphone and began to sing along with the accompaniment:

I'm sitting here in a boring room.

It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon.

I'm wasting my time, I got nothing to do.

I'm hanging around, I'm waiting for you.

……

Several years of singer career have made Chen Qiming's singing skills more and more sophisticated.

Plus its own very good language skills.

If you hadn't seen him with your own eyes, others would probably think that he was a person who grew up in Europe and the United States.

Is the song "Lemon Tree" good?

There is no doubt about it.

In the dream, the Fool's Garden Band became popular all over the world with this song, and won the "Best International Newcomer" award at the Echo Music Awards, known as the German Grammy.

The song has been widely circulated in the 21st century of dreams, and even has a good influence in China, a forbidden area of English.

The beautiful melody and Chen Qiming's clean and neat voice didn't take long for the audience to be attracted by the singing and came to the square.

"This song is so good! Is it a new song? ”

"Brother, didn't you see the poster? This is this Asian's new song! ”

"Huh! A group of dirt buns, who don't even know "Lemon Tree", still listen to songs! ”

Someone asked a question, which immediately caused ridicule from those who knew the song.

"Fack! Who are you scolding? ”

Several people in the audience confronted each other, full of gunpowder, but it did not prevent more and more people from gathering.

"Ahh It's Chen Qiming! Woooooo Chen Qiming, I'm your fan! Ahh ”

"Chen Qiming is coming to Los Angeles, call Guanxi quickly, his brother is here!"

Many of the people gathered were Chinese.

Compared with some foreigners who know the song "Lemon Tree" and don't know Chen Qiming himself, these Chinese are particularly familiar with Chen Qiming.

Many of them have listened to Chen Qiming's Chinese records.

At this time, after seeing Chen Qiming, he immediately broke out into a passionate scream.

"Friends in Los Angeles! Hello, I'm Jamie Chen, what do you think of this song just now?

It's the song "Lemon Tree" from my new record.

If you are interested in this song, you can go to major video stores and buy records.

……”

After singing the song "Lemon Tree", a large number of audiences have gathered in the audience.

There are people of all races.

Chen Qiming paused, and after calling on everyone to buy their own records, they continued to sing.

γ€ŠTake Me to Your Heart》。

The English version of "Kiss Goodbye".

I have to say that it is worthy of being able to compete with "Too Soft Heart" for the best song in 1993.

As soon as Chen Qiming sang this song, the audience couldn't help but start applauding when they listened to it.

"It turns out that this song is his song, and I've been hearing it on the radio a lot lately!"

"Yes, and the song "That Girl", these three songs are the songs I have been listening to the most in recent times!

I always thought that the three songs were sung by different people, but I didn't expect that this Asian sang them alone! ”

"I'll just say why Jenny has been going to Chinatown video stores lately, it turns out that her favorite songs are all Chinese songs!"

"That's good, does anyone know where to buy this record?

I think these songs are so cool that I want to learn them and use them to confess to our school's school flowers! ”
