[Five thousand years of wind and rain, how many dreams have been hidden]

[The yellow face and black eyes are not the same as a smile]

[Eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers are like a song]

[No matter where you come from and where you are going]

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, one by one Spring Festival Gala songs successfully became popular.

Among them, "Chinese" is the most popular.

This song praising the Chinese has become popular directly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Only by noon on this day, this song directly climbed to the first place in the charts of major radio stations in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Even in Singapore and other Chinese gathering places, this song has exploded with phenomenal power.

[Chen Qiming is worthy of being the first creator in Asia, "Chinese" is magnificent, and will become a representative song representing China in the future] - Singapore Entertainment News.

[Chen Qiming and Andy Lau collaborated on the song "Chinese", the song swept the north and south of the river in just one day, and the two were praised by the Japanese media as the singers with the most Chinese characteristics] - Hong Kong Oriental Daily.

[CCTV selected the top ten most influential songs in the mainland in 1995, and Chen Qiming was on the list for three times, which is the fourth consecutive year that he has been on the list]

On this day, one report after another was freshly released, and Chen Qiming's name was once again out of the circle with the Spring Festival Gala.

During the Chinese New Year, Chen Qiming received a large number of invitations to business activities from mainland businesses.

However, while the appearance fee for these commercial events is very high.

For example, there is a ribbon-cutting event for a real estate project in Shenzhen, and the real estate company directly quotes 2 million, and you only need to appear to participate in the ribbon-cutting.

But considering the rare rest, coupled with the problem of coffee seats, Chen Qiming directly rejected it.

You say he doesn't exist, but he exists.

Moreover, this thing is very important for celebrities.

Big-name celebrities basically have a row, and some activities, even if the money is high, cannot be picked up at will.

If you pick it up, it will affect your coffee position.

Therefore, considering this aspect of the problem, Chen Qiming has begun to stop accepting this kind of activity.

Now, he focuses on commercial endorsements, and he is also a big brand endorsement.

In addition to attending some ribbon-cutting events, a large number of charities from the mainland approached Chan.

Chen Qiming chose a few more reliable ones among them and asked people to attend on his behalf.

In addition, there is a very important invitation, but Chen Qiming has to pay attention to it.

Chongqing invited him to be Chongqing's image ambassador.

As his ancestral land, Chen Qiming still has a lot of cooperation with Chongqing.

Last year, he invested nearly 30 million yuan in various charity activities in Chongqing.

30 million, not much, too little, is definitely a lot, but in this period of absolute hinterland, it is still a lot.

is very famous in itself, and has taken out so much money for charity in Chongqing, and Chongqing also has great goodwill towards Chen Qiming.

In the past two years, cross-strait relations have entered a good stage.

Coupled with Chen Qiming's song "Chinese" in the Spring Festival Gala this time, this made Chongqing officially invite Chen Qiming to serve as Chongqing's image ambassador after discussion.

This is actually a good thing for Chen Qiming.

His development in the mainland has always been subject to various restrictions because of his status.

Chongqing's invitation to him as an image ambassador this time can reduce a lot of obstacles in this regard.

However, there are some downsides.

That is because Chen Qiming agreed to serve as Chongqing's image ambassador, and after getting a mainland ID card in Chongqing, he was inevitably questioned in the treasure island.

Many Baodao media began to smear Chen Qiming and regarded him as a traitor.

In this regard, Chen Qiming had no choice but to use the money and donate some money to some charities on the treasure island, and then let this matter become a thing of the past.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Chen Qiming flew directly from BJ to North America.

The 1995 North American Grammy Awards ceremony was officially held on this day.

Chen Qiming was shortlisted for the Best Country Music Award, Best Country Composer, Best RB Male Singer, Best Producer, and Best Pop Singer.

Compared with last year, when the Grammys Chen Qiming was shortlisted, it caused an uproar in Asia.

This year's impact is smaller.

No way, the first time always has to be memorable.

Last year, Chen Qiming had already won several awards with relatively heavy weights, so this year, when he was shortlisted again, the attention of the audience and the media was relatively less.

However, a large number of media reporters followed Chen Qiming to North America in order to get first-hand information.

When he came to the United States, Chen Qiming first returned to Qiming Records in Los Angeles.

“BOSS！ Long time no see! ”

As soon as he entered the company, the staff of North American Start Records came out, along with Marshall and Chester.

The group gathered around Chen Qiming to the president's office, Chen Qiming first asked about some recent things in the company, and finally left Marshall and Chast.

His eyes swept over the two of them, and Chen Qiming nodded imperceptibly.

Both of them are in very good spirits, and they don't have too many complaints because they haven't released records for the time being.

Although both of them have asked Chen Qiming more than once that they hope to release a record, that is a normal situation.

But anyone who has some ideals will not be willing to do nothing.

Not to mention that both of these guys are talented beings.

"You can prepare, this year, the company will release a record for you!

If you have a song that you have written, you can hand it in, and if not, the company will collect songs for you all over the United States.

Of course, I'll make a song for each of you! ”

As soon as Chen Qiming's words fell, Marshall and Chaster suddenly stood up excitedly.

Marshall spoke first.

"Sir, what you said is true, the company is really going to make a record for us?"

"Yes! I think you're ready to make your debut, and I'm sure you won't let me down! Chen Qiming smiled and nodded.

Why did Chen Qiming start a record label?

It's not to recruit singers and let them make money for themselves by releasing records.

And talents like Marshall and Chast, Chen Qiming can't always press them in the company.

Both of them will be the top presence in North America and even the world in the future.

Although it is a little earlier to release a record for them now, Chen Qiming feels that there is enough time.

Starting Point Records has gained a foothold in North America and is ready to launch artists again.

As long as the two of them make a successful debut and make a name for themselves in North America, Starting Point Records can take this opportunity to reach a higher level, rather than relying on Chen Qiming to maintain himself.

To be honest, for these two people, Chen Qiming is really looking forward to how much benefit they can create for Starting Point Records.

"Sir, Linkin Park will not disappoint you, and we will do our best to live up to your expectations!"

Chester bowed deeply to Chen Qiming.

Seeing him bow, Marshall also immediately said: "Me too, I will not let you down!" ”

Facing the bows of the two, Chen Qiming accepted it calmly.

Although both of them will come out in the future in their dreams.

But it's still years before they get to the bottom of it.

Now, because of Chen Qiming's attention, they have directly shortened the low tide for several years.

It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Qiming discovered them.

Without Chen Qiming, Chaster should still be wandering around with gray smoke, even if he signed a contract with the company, he could only be tepid.

As for Marshall, he is even more not.

If it weren't for Chen Qiming, he would still be sleeping in an RV in the slums of Detroit, and he would not have more than a few dozen dollars a day in his bag.

It is precisely because of Chen Qiming that they came to the starting point record.

Although the air conditioner blew for most of the year.

But now, Chen Qiming has given them a chance.

As long as they grasp the opportunity, it is not difficult to soar.

"Go and prepare! I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do! Chen Qiming said with a smile.

When the two of them went out, Chen Qiming asked Li Xiaowen to find the recent newspapers in North America, intending to see what news was worth paying attention to.

Looking through the first newspaper, Chen Qiming couldn't help frowning.

[Kenneth: The Grammys have compromised on sales, and I'm disappointed that some people's songs are not enough to be shortlisted for the awards, and as a result, not only did he win Best RB last year, but he actually made it again this year. 】

The newspaper was the Los Angeles Times, and they interviewed Kenneth, a singer from North America, about this year's Grammys.

Then Kenneth said that.

He didn't name anyone, but there was no doubt that he was talking about Chen Qiming.

Because, last year's Grammy Best RB Rapper was Chen Qiming.

After flipping through a few more newspapers, Chen Qiming's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Kenneth not only publicly questioned him in the Los Angeles Times, but also attacked him in interviews with several other major newspapers in North America.

Especially in an interview with a rap music newspaper in Chicago, he even said publicly: "Chinese don't play rap, this is black music, Chen's rap seems to me, in fact, it's a piece of shit!" ”

"Need me to contact Warner and shut him up?"

Coco Li was also beside her, and she also saw the newspaper.

Seeing Chen Qiming frowning, she couldn't help but ask.

"Find out who Kenneth is!"

Chen Qiming did not let Warner public relations for the first time.

He's going to check this guy first.

Kenneth's story was able to make headlines in many major newspapers, which shows that this guy is clearly not simple.

However, Chen Qiming is Asian after all, and he doesn't know much about some singers in North America.

Li Xiaowen moved quickly, and in less than half an hour, he found someone to collect Kenneth's information.

Chen Qiming took the information and looked at it, his brows furrowed.

[Kenneth Brian Edmonds.]

Born on April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, USA, stage name Babyface,

Songwriter, record producer, film producer, singer, keyboardist, guitarist, and entrepreneur.

He was a member of the rhythm and blues group The Deele.

The Edmonds family is home to a wealth of musical talent, with his younger brother Kevon and older brother Melvin being members of another rhythm and blues group, After 7.

He won the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Song, 1993 Album of the Year, and 1993 Grammy Award for Best Producer.

Baby face!

Seeing this stage name, Chen Qiming's memories of him began to surface.

This guy was shortlisted for multiple awards at the same time last year, just like Chen Qiming.

In particular, Best Blues and Best RB Rapper, who was a favorite for both awards last year.

As a result, both awards were won by Chen Qiming.

Obviously, after this guy was taken away by Chen Qiming last year, he was very dissatisfied.

This year, he was once again shortlisted for Best Producer, competing with Chen Qiming.

may feel that his record sales are not enough and he can't compare with Chen Qiming in terms of influence, so he chose to open fire to put pressure on the Grammy judges.

Glancing at this guy's resume again, Chen Qiming also had to admit that it was no wonder that so many newspapers would not care about Warner's pressure and publish this news directly.

This guy is not only talented, but also has a lot of connections.

To a certain extent, Chen Qiming's power in North America is still much worse than him.

"Shit! Heh......"

Chen Qiming glanced at the Chicago newspaper again and couldn't help but laugh angrily.

This guy is worthy of being black, and his mouth stinks.

"I just checked, this guy started attacking you in various newspapers a month ago, and under his influence, your reputation in North America has dropped a lot!"

Li Xiaowen said.

After all, he is a Grammy regular, and he is quite popular in North America, especially among the black community.

His words will definitely affect me. ”

Chen Qiming nodded.

The fan base is very misleading.

Kensny is a Grammy regular, and he can be considered an authority figure.

Just like in Hong Kong, if the Four Heavenly Kings openly say that a foreigner can't sing well, fans will blindly follow him.

This is the situation that Chen Qiming is facing now.

Kenneth is very influential in the United States, although Chen Qiming has been very popular in the United States in the past two years, but after all, he is a newcomer, and he is not as good as Kenneth in terms of word-of-mouth.

In this case, when Kenneth attacks Chen Qiming, many fans will be influenced by him and their perception of Chen Qiming will decline.

"Didn't the Grammys ask me to sing on stage? You tell over there, I'm going to sing a new song.

If agreed, I would give them the accompaniment tomorrow. ”

Chen Qiming lowered his head and groaned for a while, and spoke.

He's not the kind of person who doesn't fight back when he's scolded.

However, the things that were publicly reported and scolded like the last time in "Python Disaster" can no longer be done.

After all, this is the United States, he is not an American, and doing too much of this kind of thing will affect the image in the hearts of fans.

So, this time, he plans to sing and scold!

Aren't you awesome! I didn't even say anything to you, I just sang and scolded you.

I scolded you, but I also made money.

Li Xiaowen obviously guessed what Chen Qiming meant, and after taking a strange look at Chen Qiming, he immediately went to contact the Grammys.

When she went out, Chen Qiming found a piece of paper and began to write songs on it.

The scolding song, Chen Qiming recalled it in his mind and found a song called "Fake Squid".

This song is used in dreams to scold the boss of Lao Mei.

The lyrics are very explicit throughout the whole text, and the scolding is very direct.

Considering that his situation is different from that of the original author, Chen Qiming made certain changes to the lyrics of the song.

For example, in the original lyrics, you don't agree with homosexuality, Chen Qiming changed it to a song about you don't agree with me.

There was another sentence not to keep in touch, and Chen Qiming changed it to not appear in front of me.

In less than half an hour, Chen Qiming revised the song and wrote it.

"Look inside

Look inside your tiny mind

Then look a bit harder

Cause we're so uninspired because there is no soul there

So sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor is so disgusting and tired that it's all sin

……”

He hummed it twice, and Chen Qiming was deeply satisfied.

"Falk squid, fuck you!"

After scolding, Chen Qiming walked directly into the company's recording studio with the lyrics and songs.

The song wasn't difficult, and it shouldn't take him long to record it.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is that the lyrics of this song are too much, and I don't know if the Grammys will allow it to be sung.

However, Chen Qiming thinks it should be possible.

The Grammys are obviously not going to let go of such an obvious breaking point.

They should wish that Chen Qiming would directly scold the Grammys in order to add heat to the Grammys ceremony.

As for what Kenneth would think.

The Grammys don't care.

With such a big award, they don't care about offending people.
