Chapter 316: Punching Michael, Kicking Madonna

Chen Qiming didn't care too much about whether Marshall, that is, the master in the dream, would eventually come to Los Angeles to find him.

The main reason why he gave him a business card was because he loved talent.

He also wants the media in the future to say that he is the leader of a certain superstar, saying that he is Bole.

However, the premise of all this is that others are willing.

Just like Jay Chou, Chen Qiming gave him the opportunity to join his starting point record.

The choice has always been with Jay Chou, if he is willing, Chen Qiming will not mind investing resources to make him popular in advance, but if he is unwilling, then he will not force it.

Marshall is the same, it's just an idle move, in the final analysis, with him or not, it won't affect Chen Qiming.

Therefore, after giving Marshall a business card, Chen Qiming did not pay attention to him anymore, but focused on his record promotion.

In the next few days, after Chen Qiming ran to several cities in North America, he went to Canada, Australia, South America and other places to promote under the arrangement of Warner Records.

Chen and Warner Records have always had a clear goal, and their goal has always been the global market, not a single North American market.

To put it bluntly, in Warner and Chen Qiming's plan, his goal has always been to become a singer like Michael Jackson who has huge influence around the world.

Although he is still some distance from this goal, it is clear that he is not far away.

Last year's first EP album made Chen Qiming an instant hit in North America, and several songs in the EP have a certain degree of popularity around the world.

This gives Chen Qiming a good foundation for his new record to make an impact on a global scale as quickly as possible.

During this period, Chen Qiming was naturally needed to be present to publicize.

In June, under the arrangement of Warner, Chen Qiming successively held several large-scale performances in Canada, Australia and even South America under the arrangement of Warner Records.

At every event, Chen Qiming was warmly welcomed by local fans.

And the reason for all this is naturally that the sales of the record "Eternity" exploded.

The album "Eternity" was released on May 20, and as of June 20, the global sales reached a terrifying 8.1 million copies in one month, allowing Chen Qiming to successfully lead the annual sales list in 1995.

The crazy sales brought Chen Qiming endless praise and prestige.

The album "Eternity" is only Chen Qiming's first album.

But the impact he had was absolutely enormous.

On the U.S. Billboard, the song "As Long As You Love Me" successfully topped the top in the third week, bringing Chen Qiming his first Billboard title.

"My Heart Will Go On" is not weak, finishing in the top three and is expected to fight for the championship.

Other songs have also been greatly improved on the billboard, with "What Are Words" climbing the fastest, from more than 50 to 19 in one fell swoop, becoming the third most popular song on the album.

In addition to the United States, in other parts of the world, this album is also very hot.

In 15 countries and regions, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and India, it has topped the authoritative music charts.

In Europe, it has won the championship of 11 countries.

Plus the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, South America......

In a word, flowers bloom on all sides.

Chen Qiming's album has really blossomed on all sides.

Time magazine commented on Chen Qiming.

"Angelic face, God's envy of the singing voice, amazing musical talent, this is a world-class musical genius ......"

The terrifying sales and the blessing of champions in dozens of countries made Chen Qiming completely out of the circle.

At the same time, it also allowed Chen Qiming to completely get rid of the label of European and American newcomers and successfully become a first-line superstar.

This superstar is no longer the half-baked superstar of the past, but in the real sense.

It is best to describe it as a god.

Not to mention anything else, during the period of June, there is absolutely no one in the world who has Chen Qiming's scenery.

Even, an incident that happened on the 23rd was directly announced by the media that Chen Qiming's popularity had exploded to the point that even Michael Jackson had to temporarily avoid the edge in the face of him.

On June 23, Chen Qiming and Michael Jackson represented Warner and Sony in "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Jumanji's Game" respectively.

The two films are Warner's New Line Films and Sony Productions, respectively.

The two movies will be released on the same schedule, and they are the biggest opponents in this schedule.

In order to overpower the other party's film ability, Warner Records arranged for Chen Qiming to attend the premiere of "Seven Deadly Sins", hoping to use Chen Qiming's recent crazy popularity in North America to pull a wave of box office for "Seven Deadly Sins".

After Sony's side learned that "Seven Deadly Sins" invited the current most popular singer Chen Qiming to attend, he directly waved his hand and arranged for Michael Jackson of its record company Columbia to attend the premiere of "Game of the Brave".

The two sides, one is Chen Qiming, a god who is popular all over the world, and the other is Michael Jackson, who has been popular for many years and has been firmly on the throne of the first day of pop music.

Before the premiere began, major media spontaneously began to build momentum for the collision of the two popular superstars in the music world.

Of course, most people are definitely optimistic about Michael Jackson.

After all, this is now the god of the American music scene.

But something surprising happened.

On the same day, outside the premiere of "Seven Deadly Sins", there were too many fans who came to build momentum for Chen Qiming.

The two streets outside the premiere hotel were full of Chen Qiming's fans, and the traffic was directly wasted.

The fans present all held posters of Chen Qiming to support him.

Compared with Chen Qiming's side, although Michael Jackson's side is as popular, it is much worse than Chen Qiming's side.

And Michael Jackson was originally the object of disparagement by the American media.

So, the next day, a strange phenomenon appeared.

A large number of media and newspapers began to publicize that Chen Qiming's popularity surpassed Michael Jackson, and frantically raised Chen Qiming and stepped on Michael Jackson.

After this incident reached Hong Kong and Taiwan, it made the Hong Kong and Taiwan media even more crazy.

On the 25th, an article titled "Punching Michael, Kicking Madonna" was reported by Baodao Daily, and Chen Qiming's eyelids jumped.

This article simply praised Chen Qiming to the sky.

In the description of the article, Chen Qiming has already begun to slaughter the gods and preach.

What Michael Jackson and international superstars such as Madonna are not his enemies at all.

Chen Qiming was embarrassed by this article.

To be honest, he has indeed been very popular recently, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has swept the world.

But if it really says that he punched Michael and kicked Madonna, it would be too true.

In a real sense, he is actually just entering the front line.

Now his status in Europe and the United States is just like when he first released "Fairy Tale", becoming popular in one fell swoop and sweeping the Chinese music scene.

Judging from his popularity, he seems to have been side by side with the Four Heavenly Kings at the beginning.

But the actual situation is that his status and popularity are very weak, and he can't compare to the four heavenly kings at that time.

And now it's the same thing, it looks like he's more popular than Michael Jackson, but it's all short-lived.

When the popularity of "Eternity" passes, his popularity will quickly recede and return to where he is now.

However, to be honest, Chen Qiming still likes the current state.

In Europe and the United States, wherever he goes, there will be countless fans chasing him frantically, just like when he first became popular in Asia.

And when Chen Qiming was running around the map to promote, the miracle of "Eternity" was still continuing.

On June 29, the latest week's Billboard list was released.

As Long As You Love Me continues to reign at the top of the list, and this is its third title.

"My Heart Will Go On" was the runner-up.

"What Are Words" has stabilized in the dozens, and is currently ranked 14th.

"Lonely" is ranked twenty-five, and the song with Madonna has been hovering in the 40s before, and last week, Madonna's tour returned to the United States, and Chen Qiming was invited to attend one, and the two sang the song at the concert, which was highly praised by the media.

Affected by this, the influence of this song expanded again, and it directly rose more than a dozen places this week.

Then there is "One Love", which is in the thirtieth row. The song was very popular in Europe, and on some charts it even became the album's most popular song in Europe.

After the news in Europe reached North America, the song climbed into the top 50.

Then there is the theme song of the World Championships "Dream It Possible" and the theme song of the Red Fan Zone "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark".

These two songs are ranked forty-six and seventy-five, respectively.

In addition to these two songs, to Chen's surprise, the song "Bounce" that he chose casually on the album also made it to the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart this week.

The ranking is not high, only ninety-sixth.

In addition, three songs from his EP released last year also made it rare to return to the charts this week.

In this way, he created another miracle, that is, he reached eleven songs on the chart at the same time.

Although this did not make history, it was also a rare achievement in the American music scene.

Moreover, his single album has eight songs on the list at the same time, which also makes him enter another place on the list of songs that appear on the list at the same time on a single album, ranking fourth in history.

"Asians are crazy, and eleven songs are on the list at the same time!"

"Superstar appeal! Under the influence of Chen Qiming, a large number of people rushed to China just to learn the legendary martial arts! ”

The next day, the news that Chen Qiming had 11 songs on the billboard at the same time was broadcast by the media.

At the same time, a photo of a group of Americans wearing Shaolin monk robes and Taoist robes was widely circulated.

This incident is very popular in the United States, it is said that a group of Americans had the idea of learning martial arts after seeing the MV of Chen Qiming's song "What Are Words", and then a group of people made an appointment and flew directly to China.

After these people arrived in China, they went separately, one group went to Shaolin Temple, and one group ran to Wudang Mountain.

By the way, in the MV of the album "Eternal", Chen Qiming added Chinese culture to the shooting of several MVs in order to promote Chinese culture.

For example, in "What Are Words", in this song, he added the scene of Taoist priests practicing on Wudang Mountain.

Actually, it's just on location.

As a result, I didn't expect these foreigners to actually notice the group of Taoists who practiced martial arts.

Looking at the foreigners in the newspaper wearing Taoist robes with bright smiles, Chen Qiming's eyes moved slightly.

Perhaps, I can add more Chinese culture to my MV in the future......

When the time came to July, Chen Qiming's record promotion plan came to an end, and Chen Qiming could be free for a while.

However, Chen Qiming just wanted to rest in the United States for a few days, and on the third day, a phone call brought him, so he had to come to Los Angeles to start the record.

Los Angeles' Beginnings Records had just been founded.

This record production company Chen Qiming was established with the help of Warner Records, and its main role was to make it easier for Chen Qiming to produce English records in the future.

Of course, as a record production company, the company must not only focus its business on Chen Qiming.

Signing a new person to make a record, self-sufficiency is definitely needed.

That's why Chen Qiming gave his business card to Marshall last time he was in Detroit and asked him to come to Los Angeles to find him.

And today, it was Marshall who called Chen Qiming.

The future rap king known as Mu Ye has arrived in Los Angeles and is now on Start Records.

"Mr. Chen!"

The location of the starting point record company is not large, because it has just been established for a short time, and there are few people in the company, except for some clerks, and some employees who are not very important.

When he came to the reception room, as soon as he entered the door, Chen Qiming saw Marshall.

He was sitting on the couch in a restrained state.

Seeing Chen Qiming come in, he immediately stood up.

"I thought you wouldn't come!"

Chen Qiming said with a smile.

It was a month ago when he gave this guy his business card.

For so long, he had always thought that this guy would not come.

"I believe Mr. Chen, I decided to come after I got your business card, but Detroit is too far away from here, and I don't have the money to travel, so I worked for a while and scraped together enough money to come!"

Marshall bent over and said in a restrained manner.

“OK! Since you're here, it means you believe in my newly established company.

So, take a look at your contract! If you think it's okay, let's sign a contract! ”

Chen Qiming took out a contract from the drawer and handed it to Marshall.

"If you don't worry, there is a law firm downstairs, you can ask a lawyer to help you take a look.

Of course, you can also take it back to the hotel to have a look, and when you decide, come back to the company's Jester later. ”

"I'll just watch it here!"

Marshall took the contract, took a deep breath, opened it and began to look at it.

When he read the contract, Chen Qiming didn't speak, but sat on a chair and began to ponder.

He was wondering how to use Marshall and Chast.

Chester is the lead singer of Grey Smoke.

Recently, he has seen a lot of English rock in his dreams, and a lot of information about this has appeared in them.

This information also allowed Chen Qiming to finally know who Chester was.

Lead singer of Linkin Park.

Yes, this guy is the lead singer of Linkin Park, one of the greatest rock bands of the 21st century.

After knowing the news, Chen Qiming immediately signed this guy with the company after the establishment of the American branch of Starting Point Records.

A rock legend and a rap king, Chen Qiming is thinking about how he can use them to bring the greatest benefit to himself.

Of course, these two guys are too tender now, and it is definitely impossible to let them debut right now, and they need to be given a chance to hone before they can fly solo.

As for how to temper, Chen Qiming has already made a decision in his heart.

"Mr. Chen, I'm optimistic, I agree with most of the terms here, but there is one that I think needs to be changed."

At this time, Marshall finished reading the contract, raised his head and looked at Chen Qiming and said.
