Chapter 298: Explosive Japan
exploded, and the news about Chen Qiming's Japanese record completely exploded throughout Asia.
On 6 April, a news story about robbers snatching Chen Qiming's record came out of Japan and quickly spread to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other places where the entertainment industry in Asia is relatively prosperous.
According to the report, because Chen Qiming's record "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon" sold too well in Japan.
At one point, there was a situation where demand exceeded supply.
In the market, some stores have speculated the selling price of Chen Qiming's record to an unprecedented position.
Because the record was so popular that it was not sold at all, many Japanese gangsters set their sights on this record.
In the space of three days, there were six cases of robbery of record trucks delivered by record companies throughout Japan.
This incident has directly become the biggest social news in Japan recently.
Chen Qiming is well-known throughout Japan because of this incident.
As long as you watch the news, you know that there is a Chinese singer named Chen Qiming because the song is so popular that many criminals are eyeing his records.
Then, fueled by this news, many Japanese people bought the record with curiosity.
This classic record has achieved a bumper harvest of sales and word-of-mouth.
In the second week of the record's release, the record's sales ushered in a historic increase.
900,000 copies were sold in a week.
900,000 a week, what a concept.
In Japan, this figure is already the final data for many of the year's biggest hits.
And that's just one week of data for Chen Qiming.
Coupled with the 600,000 in the previous week, this album reached 1.5 million in just two weeks.
Because of this data, Chen Qiming not only became the first existence in the history of the Japanese music scene to exceed 900,000 sales in a single week, but also became the fastest existence to break one million.
A number of consecutive Japanese music records were occupied by Chen Qiming, a foreigner, which made Chen Qiming's status in the Japanese music scene soar like a rocket.
Some media directly called him a rare talent in 4,000 years.
Forehead! To be honest, when he heard this title, Chen Qiming's face darkened.
Although he knew that he was praising him, he always felt that he was connotating him.
One thing is certain, though.
That is, Chen Qiming's popularity in Japan is absolutely unprecedented.
His records, films, and poster merchandise are selling well in Japan.
On the street, you can see his advertisements and hear his singing voice just a few steps away.
In terms of films, "The Storm and the World", which he has just released at the final box office of one billion yen in Japan, is extremely popular in the VCD video market, and there is even a shortage of supply from manufacturers.
He previously starred in films such as "New Love", "Whirlwind Kid", and "Green Snake", which were also sought after by Japanese audiences.
Even, "New Meteor Butterfly Sword" and "Truant Gaiden", which were not originally bought by Japan, were approached by Japanese film companies to buy copyrights under this turmoil.
It is said that Changhong Film and Television directly raised the price and sold the two films for a high price of 600 million yen, which made Wu Dunzui smile crookedly.
Chen's popularity in Japan soon spread to the rest of Asia.
Rarely, in Singapore and other places, the record "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" has achieved very good sales.
At the same time, in South Korea, the Korean record "Way Back Home" also sold well in Korea when Japanese records were very popular.
Although this record did not break the sales record in South Korea, it also ranked third in the history of the Korean two-week sales list with sales of 700,000 in two weeks.
There is no doubt that Chen Qiming's two Japanese and Korean records have set off an extremely amazing storm in Asia.
made Chen Qiming's popularity in these two places reach an unprecedented level.
And the popularity of these two records naturally attracted the attention of musicians in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
At a charity gala in Hong Kong, a reporter interviewed Jacky Cheung.
Ask him what he thinks of Chen Qiming's two records.
Jacky Cheung rarely did not divert the topic this time, nor was he silent, but said it publicly.
"I admire Chen Qiming, he has done what most of us have not done.
I will aim for him and strive to be a singer that everyone likes! ”
To be honest, even Chen Qiming was a little surprised.
Jacky Cheung actually relented.
Don't look at Jacky Cheung's relationship with Chen Qiming, which is not bad.
But this guy is definitely the hardest mouth among the four heavenly kings.
At a time when the others were all non-existent and said that they were not as good as him.
Jacky Cheung never relented in this regard.
Every time a reporter asks about this topic, he either keeps silent or directly diverts from the topic.
Even, if he is annoyed by a reporter's question, he will come to say, "Is my kiss bad?" ”
It can be seen how dissatisfied Chen Qiming is in his heart.
Perhaps, in private, he took it, but in public, he never did.
This time, he will openly say that he is not as good as Chen Qiming, you can imagine what kind of impact Chen Qiming brought to him this time.
The two records released by Chen Qiming in Japan and South Korea are definitely of great quality.
Especially the record "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon".
After this record became popular in Japan, many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers bought this record in person.
And then!
Then, after listening to it, these singers were shocked one by one.
They contacted Chen Qiming and asked him to buy the adaptation rights of some of the songs in this record.
Among them, Dawn took a fancy to one of the songs.
"Future へ (Towards the Future)"!
He took a fancy to the song and felt that it was a perfect fit for him.
So he immediately found Chen Qiming to buy the cover copyright of this singer.
Speaking of which, the dawn is also miserable.
In Polygram, he and Jacky Cheung are equal in popularity and sales.
But in terms of resources, he has always been a little worse.
Jacky Cheung is a descendant of Polygram, a singer personally discovered by Zheng Donghan, the president of Polygram.
It has been popular since the late eighties until now.
He is Polygram's own son.
And the dawn.
He was halfway to Polygram.
And because of the family environment, he has developed a character that does not ask about the world.
This has led to the fact that in Polygram, he has always been less valued than Jacky Cheung.
Especially when choosing songs.
In many cases, unless it is not suitable for Jacky Cheung, as long as there are good songs, almost all of them are given priority to Jacky Cheung.
And he, in the past two years, has hardly had any good songs.
If he hadn't bought the Cantonese versions of "Fairy Tale" and "Life with You" from Chen Qiming, he might not be able to stabilize the title of the Four Heavenly Kings in Hong Kong's first popularity.
Chen Qiming has a very good relationship with Liming.
Among the Four Heavenly Kings.
Liming and Andy Lau have the best relationship with him.
Chen Qiming's concert and movie premiere, as long as they are free, the two of them are never absent.
There is such a feeling.
After Dawn opened his mouth to him, he didn't think much about it, and gave him the rights to adapt the Chinese version of the song.
By the way, he also personally copied the Chinese version of the song "Later" to him.
