Chapter 268: World Championships Image Ambassador

On October 26, Chen Qiming flew to BJ and began to plan BJ's concert.

That is, on the day he just landed in BJ, he received an unexpected call.

Chinese Table Tennis Association.

Next year, in May 1995, the 43rd World Table Tennis Championships will be held in Tianjin.

This should be a big event.

Therefore, the Table Tennis Association contacted Chen Qiming, hoping that Chen Qiming could create a theme song for this World Table Tennis Championships and a war song for the Chinese team.

Among them, the theme song, because it is an international event, there is a requirement there, I hope it can be an English song.

As for the war songs for the national team, they are not limited to languages, of course, as Chinese, I must give priority to Chinese songs.

To be honest, Chen Qiming was both surprised and cautious about this commission of table tennis.

Unexpectedly, he didn't expect the Table Tennis Association to be able to entrust such an important task to him.

Prudence is an absolutely daunting task.

This is a major event related to the face of the country, which is not at all different from Chen Qiming's own album.

If you release an album by yourself, whether the song is good or bad, will affect you at most.

But the theme song of the World Table Tennis Championships, whether it is good or bad, affects the face of the country.

If the songs you write are not good, it is easy to disgrace the country.

In order to better complete this task, in the next few days, Chen Qiming began to look for suitable songs in his mind while holding a concert.

The songs of the national team are good choices.

Chen Qiming selected a total of two songs.

One song is called "I Believe", which is an inspirational song that encourages a better tomorrow.

The other is "Believe in Yourself".

This song is also an inspirational song, but it is not the same as "I Believe".

"I Believe" sings about tomorrow will be better, and "Believe in Yourself" is a typical arena song, which describes the contestants who have been honing for many years, and this is the time to get results.

Chen Qiming felt that both songs were very suitable for the table tennis national team, so he squeezed them over for the national team and let them choose by themselves.

The Chinese song was chosen, but the English theme song, Chen Qiming was a little difficult.

He rummaged through the songs he had memorized from his dreams in his mind and found that there were many songs that were full of enthusiasm, but there were very few songs that he wanted to use in the theme song of table tennis.

There is no way, he can't choose a good song for the time being, so he can only put it aside for the time being.

But fortunately, the World Championships will not start until May next year, and during this period, Chen Qiming still has a lot of time to think slowly.

It really can't be done, so he can only choose to choose a war song to change the words by himself.

The time entered November, and Chen Qiming's five concerts at BJ came to an end.

BJ's five concerts are definitely the hottest of all Chen Qiming's concerts in the mainland.

Because the venue is large, there is a green light on it.

These five concerts directly created a miracle.

The total attendance of the five concerts was as high as 300,000.

At the same time, Chen Qiming's five concerts brought BJ nearly 500 million yuan in consumer income. (This is not an exaggeration, this year's Jay Chou Haikou concert directly brought more than 900 million consumer income to Haikou, because the era is still the 90s, so this cost has been reduced)

500 million RMB!

This is definitely a huge amount in the current mainland.

Chen Qiming heard that some leaders above were even alarmed by this incident, and directly noticed Chen Qiming, and proposed to issue Chen Qiming with a certificate of honor.

And it's really not a rumor.

The day after Chen Qiming heard the news, he was invited by the relevant departments to be awarded a China 1994 Outstanding Artist Award.

Not only this one, but in the subsequent 1993-1994 China's top ten philanthropic figures issued by the relevant departments, Chen Qiming ranked eighth, becoming the only star on the list.

Don't underestimate these two awards.

With the medals of these two awards in hand, it is simply not too convenient for Chen Qiming to act in the mainland in the future.

For some small things, the relevant departments will basically open the door to him.

For example, the release of albums.

The mainland has very strict control over the distribution of audio-visual products.

If records from Hong Kong, Taiwan and even foreign countries want to be released to the mainland, they need to be reviewed.

Don't think that this audit is just a normal audit.

The mainland review is definitely the strictest place Chen Qiming has ever seen.

In many songs, if there is a problem with one lyric, the whole album has to be revised.

Not to mention the movie, the plot is slightly unreasonable, and it will be killed directly, let alone released, and it is impossible to even distribute videos and VCDs in the mainland.

And with these two medals on his body.

When Chen Qiming's works come in, they will receive preferential treatment to a certain extent.

And this preferential treatment was reflected on the third day after Chen Qiming received the medal.

Previously, he asked people to send the film "Storm and Storm Dominating the World" to China Film for review, hoping to release it in the mainland.

However, although he has a good relationship with Li Chaoxian, the manager of the distribution department of China Film, the two sides have even reached a cooperation between China Film to invest in Qiming Film and Television's new project "Python Disaster" next year.

But the release of the play "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" has been stuck.

It is said that some people in China Film feel that this drama is not too suitable for release in the mainland.

There is no reason, anyway, it is not suitable.

However, China Film has been reviewing the status and has never responded.

This also led to the fact that the original plan for the release of the drama "Storm and Storm" in Hong Kong in November was also shelved and postponed to December.

The main reason for this is that it is affected by piracy.

Before China Film really confirmed whether it would be introduced, if Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places were released first, it would not be long before pirated copies would definitely spread to the mainland at a very fast speed.

When the time comes, let alone release in the mainland, even the issuance of VCDs will be affected by piracy.

Therefore, before China Film was confirmed, Chen Qiming did not plan to release the movie in Hong Kong and Taiwan in advance.

And after Chen Qiming received two medals from relevant departments.

In just two days, China Film gave news that this movie would be introduced in January.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan movies that were introduced together also include Jackie Chan's "Red Fan Zone".

Well, that is to say, the movie "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" will not only compete with "Red Fan Zone" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also compete with one of them in the mainland.

There's a saying.

It's called Double Happiness.

This sentence can also describe Chen Qiming.

When China Film decided to introduce the movie "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", Chen Qiming also received a response from the Table Tennis Association.

The song "Believe in Yourself" was returned over there, leaving "I Believe".

According to the response over there, the reason why "I Believe" was chosen is because the table tennis national team has frequently lost in the international arena in recent years, and the song "I Believe" is more suitable for them now.

At the same time, along with the reply, there was another piece of good news.

The good news was that he was invited to be the ambassador for the 1995 World Championships.
