Chapter 399: Five blockbuster schedules
Xu Zhi'an's two songs were recorded, and Chen Qiming did not participate too much.
After all, Xu Zhi'an's record is dominated by Huaxing, and if Chen Qiming participates too much, he will be misunderstood by Huaxing.
Moreover, although he wants Xu Zhian to beat up Zheng Zhongji of Polygram for himself, this does not mean that Chen Qiming will help Huaxing make records for free.
Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Huaxing is getting worse and worse.
Since Huaxing was acquired by Guo's SCMP Group, the company has become a detainee search.
If they didn't know that the boss of SCMP Group was the Guo family, outsiders would probably think that this was Boss Shao controlling the company.
To what extent is Huaxing deducted!
Wu Yu, the current general manager of Huaxing, on the one hand, wants Chen Qiming to personally serve as the producer of Xu Zhi'an's record, and on the other hand, he wants to not pay a penny, and wants Chen Qiming to work purely part-time.
Originally, Chen Qiming wanted to be the producer himself at the request of Xu Zhian.
Seeing Huaxing's search sample, don't talk about money at all, just like you made for us for free.
Chen Qiming, who was upset, simply left directly after recording "A, B, C, D" with Xu Zhian, out of sight and out of mind.
Of course, he is not worried that Huaxing will not produce this album well.
After all, Huaxing was once a hegemon-level record company, and it still has strength.
The company has raised many well-known producers in the industry, and in the case that Chen Qiming has already completed the lyrics and arrangements of the two songs he took out, even if he does not participate in the post-production of the album, I believe that under the production of Huaxing, the quality of this record will not be bad.
In October, the sales of the album "Hello Friends" continued to skyrocket, and by October 5, this record officially exceeded 5 million, becoming another record of more than 5 million sales by Chen Qiming.
It is worth mentioning that some time ago, although Chen Qiming's image was questioned because of the fan beating incident.
But also because of this incident, his attention is the first among many stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Under this attention, the sales of the record "Hello Friends" also ushered in a great explosion.
The album was only released on September 13.
It's been less than a month so far.
The total sales exceeded 5 million.
This sales actually caught up, surpassing Chen Qiming's current highest-grossing record "Star Storm".
Because of the explosion of sales, the songs in this record have also become the hottest songs on the street.
Especially the song "Friends".
It is reported that since its release, this song has firmly topped the karaoke list in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
If you walk into a karaoke shop, you can definitely hear someone shouting "Friends go together for a lifetime......
Some songs are like that, they hit the heart and make men and women of all ages fall in love with them.
"Friends" is clearly one such song.
The catchy melody itself, coupled with Chen Qiming's influence, made this song quickly out of the circle.
In less than a month, this song has become a popular song in Chinese-speaking areas.
Among Chen Qiming's many masterpieces, the popularity of this song jumped directly, comparable to songs such as "Sad Pacific", "The Heart is Too Soft", and "The Trouble Caused by the Moon".
Because of the popularity of "Friends", the people who said in the media that the quality of Chen Qiming's album was not good suddenly disappeared.
On the contrary, there were some ridicules in the newspaper that Faye Wong was inadequate.
"Faye Wong wants to mention coffee and wants to go crazy, and she actually wants to step on Chen Qiming!"
"I said a long time ago that Chen Qiming is the eternal god!"
"Faye Wong's album is actually just like that!"
"In terms of sales, word-of-mouth, and popularity, Chen Qiming beats Faye Wong in all aspects, and he is worthy of being the first person in the Chinese music scene!"
The entertainment industry is like this, stepping on the low and praising the high.
When public opinion was biased towards Faye Wong, the media almost blew Faye Wong into a god one by one.
After Faye Wong's popularity passed and Chen Qiming's records continued to be as popular as the previous records, those who questioned him before began to run back to praise Chen Qiming as if they had forgotten their previous words.
Although Chen Qiming paid attention to these practices of the media, he did not pay attention to them.
As for Faye Wong.
The little love he and she had accumulated in "Chongqing Forest" before was completely gone.
Because of Dou Wei's big mouth, and because she wanted to step on Chen Qiming's position, the two are now strangers, and it can even be said that they have become hostile.
Under this relationship, Chen Qiming wished that she would disappear into the entertainment industry.
After entering October, Chen Qiming's focus has temporarily shifted from music to film.
This year, Qiming Film and Television led the filming of three films: "Python Disaster 2", "Lone Agent", and "Fengyun 2".
In addition, he also participated in the investment of Yongsheng's "Adventure King", Wang Jing's best partner "Crazy Boy" and Stephen Chow's God of Food.
Among these films, except for the two best partners, "Crazy Boy", which were released at the beginning of the year and in the middle of the year.
The other films are basically all concentrated in the second half of the year.
In particular, the three films of Qiming Film and Television are all concentrated after October.
Starting in October, Qiming's three films, Stephen Chow's "God of Food" and "The Adventure King" will be released in Pacific theaters one after another.
The five months from October to March are considered prime time at the box office.
In order to catch up with this schedule, the filming of Pacific Cinemas is very rushed.
The schedule of the five films has been greatly squeezed.
For the sake of fairness, and to avoid other cooperative companies under the cinema chain questioning the unfairness of the cinema chain.
Although the movies "Anaconda 2" and "Fengyun 2" are super blockbusters that have been extremely popular.
But Pacific Cinemas still chose to distribute the schedule evenly.
Of course, this allocation must also be planned, otherwise it is easy to cause misunderstandings.
From October to February, although there is a period of five months.
But February is definitely the hottest month at the box office.
After discussions between Yongsheng and Xinghui Film Company, it was finally decided to put Stephen Chow's "God of Food" and Andy Lau's "Lonely Agent" this month.
"Lone Agent" was released from mid-January until the sixth Chinese New Year's Eve, and then "God of Food" was released on the first day of the new year.
There is also a reason why it is so distributed.
Of the five films, there is no doubt that "Anaconda 2" is the most watched.
After all, this film is a sequel to last year's top 10 global box office lists.
However, considering that this movie has horror and bloody elements, it is not suitable for the Chinese New Year.
So "Anaconda 2" was placed in the Christmas file in November.
Among the remaining films, Stephen Chow's "God of Food" is a complete comedy.
And, as we all know, the Spring Festival file is Stephen Chow's world, and if this schedule is not given to him, it will be unreasonable.
Therefore, the most explosive schedule at the box office closest to the Chinese New Year was undoubtedly handed over to "God of Food".
There are three films left, and "Fengyun 2" is the most dominant.
This movie not only gathers big names, gathering Chen Qiming and Liming, but it is also a sequel to last year's blockbuster film.
Therefore, there is no doubt that he competed for the schedule after the Chinese New Year.
And "Fengyun 2" is a movie of Qiming Film and Television, Chen Qiming does not have to worry about causing dissatisfaction after adjusting the schedule for it.
Therefore, after some discussion, Chen Qiming decided to swap it with "Lone Agent".
The reason why this is so is because Chen Qiming has expectations for the movie "Lone Agent".
The film is a standard American popcorn movie.
Mr. Chen had already contacted Warners to release the film in North America in November.
If it gets a good box office in North America.
That would be very beneficial for the release here in Asia.
In this way, it is obviously most appropriate to put "Lone Agent" in the prime time after the Spring Festival.
I can maximize the benefits, too.
After all, the Spring Festival stalls are easy to hit the box office, and if this movie wins in North America, it will obviously be more audience fans who will enter the cinema for this.
In addition, compared with the appeal of "Fengyun 2" itself, "Lone Agent" is obviously a lot worse.
In order to maximize benefits, adjusting it to the most popular schedule is obviously more beneficial to Pacific Cinemas.
As for "Adventure King".
Originally, Yongsheng's side was striving for prime time.
But there is no way, although this film has Jet Li.
But several other movies also have big box office hits, and they don't have an advantage at all.
Therefore, Yongsheng, who was forced to have no choice but to accept that the film would be released in December.
