Chapter 249: Theme Song Invitation from Golden Harvest
"Ming Tsai, all three songs on your English album have achieved very good results on the US Billboard Singles Hot 100.
The song "Lemon Tree" ranked as high as thirteen.
As far as we know, there are quite a few critics in Europe and the United States who think that you have a good chance of hitting the Billboard championship.
Do you feel hopeful yourself? ”
The second journalist to stand up was a native of Hong Kong.
The first question was to ask Chen Qiming if he had confidence in the Billboard champion.
Actually! Seriously, Chen Qiming has no confidence.
Don't look at the "Lemon Tree" in the record "That Girl", which ranks very high, ranking thirteen in only four weeks.
But the title song is not so easy.
Almost every song of the American Billboard number one is a song that has a huge impact in Europe and the United States.
From this point of view, "Lemon Tree" is still a lot worse.
However, although he feels that it is unlikely to reach the championship, on the surface, Chen Qiming still has to be very confident.
He said directly: "Two or three weeks!" I hope this record has songs that will make it to the top in three weeks.
Even if you can't, you want to finish in the top three. ”
After answering this question, a reporter immediately asked:
"Ming Tsai, just last week, Golden Harvest announced that it would start a big production again, starring Jackie Chan.
Mr. Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Golden Harvest, said that they have invested a lot in this film, not only invited the Hollywood team to join, but also invited Jackie Chan to play the starring role and martial arts instructor, and even the theme song, they also plan to invite you to join in the creation!
Will you be able to work with Jackie Chan in this movie? ”
Hearing this, Chen Qiming was stunned, he really didn't know this problem.
But he has heard of Golden Harvest's big production.
This so-called big production should be the "Red Fan Zone" in which Jackie Chan entered Hollywood in his dream.
"I don't know about this, I haven't received any news from my side!"
If it is true, as the reporter said, Jiahe plans to ask himself to compose the theme song, he is really interested.
Since Jiahe has ambitiously invited the Hollywood team, there is a good chance that the theme song will not only be in Chinese.
If you ask Chen Qiming, he should be planning to compose English songs.
According to the information reality in the dream, the movie Red Fan District seems to be very popular in Hollywood.
It was also this movie that made Jackie Chan famous in Hollywood, and ushered in a big explosion in his career in Hollywood in the following years.
For Chen Qiming, the theme song of a movie that is a hit in Hollywood is still very helpful to him.
This can enhance one's status in the European and American music scene.
If you're not careful to get on the billboard again, that's even better.
"Ming Tsai ......"
"Ming Tsai ......"
"Armin ......"
The reporters asked questions one after another, and Chen Qiming answered them one by one.
The press conference lasted nearly three hours.
At around two o'clock, Chen Qiming ended the interview and left the hotel under the escort of the staff.
"Did Golden Harvest invite me to compose a theme song for their company's new film?"
Leaving the hotel and getting into the car, Chen Qiming asked Liu Ciwei at this time.
"Yes, I called the company yesterday, and the company is still in the scheduling period, so I didn't notify you!"
Liu Ciwei said while driving.
"Respond to them and say I agree!"
Chen Qiming took the recent schedule from Li Xiaowen's hand, took a general look at it, and spoke.
His schedule this year is still very crowded.
From now to September, he has to catch up with the scene of "Fengyun", and from September to January, his concert tour this year will start again.
The scale of this tour is likely to be more than last year's.
Then, by December, he may have to produce a Japanese album for release.
These are the things he plans to do, and there are various other events to attend.
For example, film promotion, attending various awards.
After all, he has almost no free time to rest.
But even so, he still plans to take over the production of the theme song of this movie.
No way, within this year, he probably won't have time to make English records.
But he has just opened the market in Europe and the United States, and if he doesn't hurry up and release a record, it is easy to have a sharp decline in popularity after a year.
Therefore, in order to maintain exposure, it is also a good way to maintain the theme song of "Red Fan Zone".
In addition, since "Red Fan Zone" can allow Jackie Chan to open the European and American markets, it means that this movie must be very popular in Europe and the United States.
The theme song of a hit movie is inherently easier to attract listeners and maintain its popularity.
"I see, I'll arrange time to adjust your schedule here!"
Liu Ciwei nodded, and then said: "The Japanese Red Song Society has invited you, and we plan to adjust the concert time in Japan from November to October.
When the time comes, you just happen to have a concert in Japan, and you can directly attend the Red Song Party! ”
……
Liu Ciwei's side was very fast, and he responded to Jiahe's side that night and promised Chen Qiming to compose the theme song for them.
After getting a response, they immediately sent the script of the movie over and asked Chen Qiming to create it according to the story of the script.
and also sent an invitation, hoping that Chen Qiming could make a cameo appearance in the movie.
For the cameo, Chen Qiming refused here.
He can do other work while writing songs, but he can't make cameos.
According to Jiahe's meaning, the filming of this movie will be carried out in the United States.
If Chen Qiming goes to make a cameo, he will go to the United States again.
Although there were not many cameo scenes, considering that he was too busy with work, he directly refused.
However, what Chen Qiming didn't expect was that after being rejected by him, Golden Harvest didn't give up, and asked Jackie Chan to call him again.
In the end, due to Jackie Chan's affection, Chen Qiming agreed to make a cameo, but not a live-action cameo, but in the form of TV.
Well, it's the protagonist in the movie watching TV, and then the TV is Chen Qiming's performance or TV interview, etc.
After the end of the Hong Kong incident, Chen Qiming did not continue to stay longer.
On the afternoon of the 18th, he flew directly to the mainland.
The crew of "Storm and Cloud Dominates the World" has been on hold at present, and when Chen Qiming returned to Mount Emei, the guys left here by the crew were all fat.
Even director Liu Weiqiang is the same, he directly became chubby.
When these guys have no drama to film, they eat and sleep every day, sleep and eat, and they get paid anyway, and they don't have anything to worry about.
The uncle has lived for more than half a month, and they have been raised for nothing.
It wasn't until Chen Qiming came back and the work continued that these guys slowly lost weight back to their original appearance.
The crew didn't shoot in Mount Emei for too long.
In just over a week, the crew packed up their things and flew back to Hong Kong.
It's not that the filming has already been completed, but there are many scenes that are indoor scenes, and they need to be present with Takeshi Kaneshiro, Li Jiaxin and others.
And these guys have already returned to Hong Kong before.
In order to facilitate filming, the later scenes will be filmed in Hong Kong.
