Chapter 421: The Titanic Crew

Two million five hundred and forty thousand!

One million nine hundred and eighty thousand!

These two figures are the results of nearly a month after the release of Linkin Park and Eminem.

There is no doubt that this result is a very good result even in Europe and the United States, where superstars are gathered.

With these two results, Linkin Park and Eminem have successfully made a name for themselves in the United States and become one of the strongest newcomers of the year.

"It's time for them to plan a new album, and now they're at their peak and I don't want to miss out on this great opportunity!"

After finding the company's data supervisor to learn about the record data of Linkin Park and Eminem, Chen Qiming immediately issued a new directive.

"I'll hurry up about the new record, but Chen, there's something I need to report to you!"

Martin, the record producer of the American branch, said with a solemn face.

Seeing his solemn face, Chen Qiming put down his hand in Chinese, "You say!" ”

Martin's full name is Max Martin, and he was originally from BMG.

Last year, after the Backstreet Boys gained attention in the United States for their cover of Chen Qiming's "Lemon Tree", BMG reacted quickly by signing the Backstreet Boys and releasing a record for them as soon as possible.

And he was the producer who made the album for the Backstreet Boys.

His production of We've Got It Goin' On (Radio Edit) for Backstreet Boys quickly gained attention in the United States upon its release.

The song also made it to the Billboard, peaking at seventy-eight.

It was also because of this song that Chen Qiming paid attention to him.

It just so happened that during that time, the starting point records lacked an excellent producer who was in charge of the company.

So, Chen Qiming paid a high price to dig it up from BMG.

In the previous records of Linkin Park and Eminem, although the songs were not written by him, the production work was completely controlled by him.

It can be said that in the current European and American starting point records, except for Chen Qiming, he is the most powerful person.

Of course, this was given to him by Chen Qiming.

The reason why Chen Qiming let him, a 27-year-old young man, take on this important responsibility.

It's all about his future achievements.

According to Chen Qiming's dream memory.

Martin is definitely the most present producer of the early 21st century.

Backstreet Boys and Britney's first album were all produced by him.

After that, he also produced albums for Kelly Clason, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, and others.

And all of these albums were big sellers.

Such a capable person, of course Chen Qiming will not let go, and will rest assured to delegate power.

"Since the success of Linkin Park and Eminem, seven record labels have contacted them.

Among them, BMG has the most frequent contact with Colombia.

They are now very close to Eminem.

I'm worried they're going to be poached! ”

Martin said solemnly.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming groaned for a while.

He had also heard about it, and it was his eyes and ears in the company who informed him.

Originally, he didn't pay attention to this.

Like mentioned before.

If Lincoln Park and Eminem were to make the switch, it would be fine.

All you need to do is pay the penalty penalty.

As long as the liquidated damages are in place, he can let them go.

But Chen Qiming recently inquired that when other record companies were digging up Linkin Park and others, they actually put forward the unreasonable liquidated damages of Starting Point Records.

It means that you can go to court.

"So, I'll be in the U.S. lately, and I'll have an opportunity to talk to Eminem and Chester.

I believe they shouldn't be so stupid and want to change jobs just after the results are released. ”

Chen Qiming raised his head and said.

Just do what you say.

That evening, Chen Qiming met with Chester and Eminem to discuss their future contracts.

In fact, it's just a knock on them.

And after some contact, Chen Qiming probably understood why these two guys were in frequent contact with other companies.

Not really want to change jobs.

And these two guys want to raise their salaries.

Chen Qiming has nothing to say about this.

Raise wages!

If an employee does a good job, he will naturally be rewarded, and he can't continue to be a miser.

The only thing he was a little annoyed about was that these two guys wanted to raise their salaries, so they didn't mention it to him directly, but ran to meet with other companies to put pressure on him.

Chen Qiming, who was annoyed by the actions of the two, did not have a seizure at that time.

He agreed to the two of them on the spot.

Then, the day after he returned, he called Martin and asked him to put their new record work on hold for a while.

He was going to crush the arrogance of these two guys.

However, after these two guys, Chen Qiming also felt that there could not be only so many people in Starting Point Records.

If Lincoln Park and Eminem really jumped ship, wouldn't his company be a shell company?

Therefore, Chen Qiming gave Martin a new instruction to sign a new singer.

To tell the truth, for Chen Qiming, he really doesn't worry about whether the singer can be popular.

As long as the foundation is passed, if she is not popular in her dreams, she can also make her popular.

The model is Li Jiaxin.

This product is a pure vase in a dream, not only has no achievements in songs, but also has no achievements in movies, and completely relies on the name of the most beautiful Hong Kong sister to mix the rivers and lakes.

And since she followed Chen Qiming.

Her life is not too good now.

Not only did she not worry about invitations in film and television, but even in the music scene, because of Chen Qiming, her record sold well, and she became the first female singer to enter South Korea.

Therefore, it is not bad to sign some newcomers to the company for standby.

Give them a song or two when they are idle, which can not only make the company profitable, but also enhance the company's influence.

After the matter of the starting point record was handed over to Martin, Chen Qiming didn't bother with it anymore.

He hurried to Mexico.

To film "Titanic," Fox bought 40 acres of land in Mexico and built a huge reservoir

Most of the filming of this film took place here.

"Chen, you're finally here!"

As soon as Chen Qiming arrived in Mexico, Cameron personally sent a car to pick him up.

The vehicle drove for more than two hours and finally arrived at the filming location.

Outside the crew's studio, Cameron was already waiting here, and when he saw Chen Qiming getting out of the car, he immediately greeted him.

"Director Cameron!"

Chen Qiming smiled and shook his hand.

"Let's go, I'll take you on a tour of the crew first! Many of the actors in the crew are your fans, especially Kate, who knows you're coming and wants to pick you up at the airport in person.

But because there was a scene to be filmed today, I rejected her. ”

James Cameron was welcoming.

Well, can you not be enthusiastic!

If it weren't for Chen Qiming's investment, his project would have almost gone yellow.

Although in the dream there will be Columbia Pictures investment.

But in reality, Chen Qiming was the first to invest.

And Chen Qiming is now an investor, although he has little power in the crew.

But an investor is an investor.

Cameron was obviously not willing to offend Chen Qiming, causing Chen Qiming to drag funds.

"This is Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays the actor of the film's male lead, Jack Dawson.

This is Kate Winslet, played by Rose DeWitt Booker! ”

Maybe I heard the conversation outside the crew, and a man and a woman walked out of it.

Seeing them, Cameron immediately introduced Chen Qiming.

They are none other than the male and female protagonists of the crew, Leonardo and Kate Winslet.

These two superstars who will be popular all over the world in the future in their dreams are very young at this time.

Especially Leonardo, he is really tender now, and he is not at all like the pot-bellied uncle in his dreams.

"Hey! Hello, I'm Jamie Chen, you can call me Chen! ”

Chen Qiming greeted the two leading actors with a smile on his face.

"Chen, nice to meet you!"

Leonardo was a little shy, and shook hands with Chen Qiming stiffly.

Compared to Leonardo, Kate is very outgoing.

She held Chen Qiming's hand and didn't let go.

"Chen, I'm a big fan of yours, I didn't expect us to work together."

"Thank you, I'm lucky to have the recognition of the beautiful Miss Kate!"

Chen Qiming twitched his hand twice, but didn't pull it out.

Kate clenched tightly.

Chen Qiming couldn't let her go directly, so he could only let her hold it.

"Chen, your baby song is so good, my friends and I like it very much.

We all want to know, did you write this song for your girlfriend? ”

Kate is very curious, like a curious cat.

“No! It's not for anyone, my songs are mostly from my fantasies, except for a few specific ones.

Actually, Miss Kate, you are wrong.

Our singers' songs are not necessarily written according to the real situation.

A lot of times, our songs don't really have anything to do with us.

Just like a movie, it belongs to artistic creation! ”

A lot of people are curious about the songs that singers write.

thinks that the songs written by the singer must be related to his own experience.

Actually, this is very one-sided.

Maybe someone will write a song based on their own experience.

But in most cases, many creators' songs actually can't compete with his own eight poles.

It's just an artistic creation!

"Kate, I think you can go to put on makeup, your role is very heavy today!"

It seemed that Chen Qiming was a little annoyed by Kate's entanglement, and Cameron spoke up to stop Kate's idea of continuing to talk.

“OK! Chen, I'm really interested in your songs!

I think we can talk more when we have time! ”

Kai deliberately let go of Chen Qiming's hand.

"Yes! I think we'll have a great time! ”

Chen Qiming glanced at Leonardo as he spoke.

He clearly felt that this guy's face became a little ugly when Kate said that he wanted to talk to him about music.

The corners of his mouth curled, and Chen Qiming probably understood the relationship between the two.

Leonardo, I'm afraid that this guy has been in the play too much, and he was fascinated by Kate.

Of course, it may also be that I was fascinated by the character Rose.

As for Kate.

After all, women are easy to mature, although there is a lot of contact with Leonardo in the crew.

But she probably didn't think anything else about Leonardo because of this.

On the contrary, she seems to be very interested in Chen Qiming.

Also, almost all of them are the same age.

But Chen Qiming is now a global superstar and a big boss.

A wise woman should know what to choose.

"It can be seen that you are very popular with women, and our Miss Kate seems to be fascinated by you!"

Cameron sent Leonardo and Kate away, and took Chen Qiming to visit the crew, and he smiled as he walked.

They are all adults, how could he not understand Kate's mind.

It's just that I don't say it.

"It's my pleasure!"

Chen Qiming smiled and didn't talk much.

“oh! Is this the Titanic? It's spectacular! ”

Through a green screen, a huge ship appeared in front of me.

To be honest, it's really spectacular.

Even if Chen Qiming's films in recent years are all famous for their big investment, compared to Cameron, who directly built a ship in order to shoot movies, his movies are simply petty fights.

"This is the Titanic that we rebuilt the model ship according to the design drawings of the Titanic, and the cost of manufacturing the model ship alone is close to 120 million US dollars to build the Titanic!

In addition, the interior decoration of the hull, tables, chairs, dishes, and pattern details In order to restore the real thing, the luxurious interior inside is designed with reference to the Titanic's sister ship: Olympic! ”

Hearing Chen Qiming's exclamation, Cameron couldn't help but introduce the ship to Chen Qiming with a proud face.

"The model of this cruise ship was made to 1:1, unfortunately the chimney and lifeboat were partially reduced and some of the decks were omitted.

In addition, due to limited funds, the Titanic model ship was built on the right half! ”

Speaking of the fact that the ship was not fully built, Cameron had a little regret on his face.

"That's pretty amazing! I have heard that Mr. Cameron pays great attention to the creation of real scenes in films, and now it seems that it is indeed the case!

Seeing this ship, coupled with Cameron's directing skills, I have more confidence in this play! ”

Chen Qiming visited around the mold ship, and praised it while watching.

"Thank you for the appreciation! If Fox thinks the same as you, I think, I'll save a lot of heart! ”

Cameron was very useful for Chen Qiming's praise.

As he spoke, he began to complain and complain about Fawkes.

"Fox is like a stingy farmer, saying that my work is the most perfect in the world, and at the same time they are stingy and reluctant to give up another penny.

I've decided that I'm not going to work with Fox again after this collaboration.

They really hurt me! ”

Cameron complained about Fox Films like a resentful woman.

In this regard, Chen Qiming just smiled and did not speak.

Honestly, he really doesn't think Fox is stingy.

For a love movie, Fox can invest hundreds of millions of dollars, which is already generous.

If you hadn't known through your dreams that this movie would have earned.

When he heard others say that he would invest hundreds of millions of dollars to make a romance movie, he definitely scoffed.

However, Cameron, you have to admire him for eating movies.

According to the dream memory, it seems that his other big production in the future seems to be very profitable.

Thinking of this, Chen Qiming took the initiative to speak:

"I've always admired your directorial talent, Mr. Cameron, and if you can't find an investor for your next project, I think you can contact me.

I think I should be able to give some of the money to support your creation! ”
