Chapter 435: Sell more than eight million and talk to me again
Soon after leaving the crew of "Black Gold", Chen Qiming was stopped in the parking lot by reporters.
"Amin, what do you think of Zhou Xiaojie's recent remarks on TV?"
Several reporters crowded in front of Chen Qiming, and the front one asked loudly.
He asked what other reporters had to say.
All the reporters present were extremely eager to hear Chen Qiming's evaluation of Zhou Xiaojie from his mouth.
Don't you look forward to it!
Since Zhou Xiaojie said that on TV, this incident has become the hottest thing in the Chinese entertainment industry recently.
But any celebrity will make some comments on this matter.
Among them, there are many people like Luo Dayou who openly stand on the platform Chen Qiming.
Others, no matter what they say, are always outsiders.
No one's remarks will attract more attention than the remarks of Chen Qiming, the person concerned.
Therefore, reporters are extremely looking forward to hearing his words scolding Zhou Xiaojie from Chen Qiming's mouth.
"What do you think? Sitting in front of the TV, of course! Chen Qiming complained in his heart.
said on his lips: "Zhou Xiaojie? I'm sorry! I've been busy with concerts in the second half of the year lately, so I haven't been paying much attention to the latest news.
Excuse me, is there any big news happening that I don't know about?
Who is Zhou Xiaojie? β
"Forehead ......"
Chen Qiming's look of I don't know Zhou Xiaojie made several reporters speechless for a while.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first person in the Chinese music scene, and he pretends to be so natural.
I don't know Zhou Xiaojie, this is simply a naked insult to Zhou Xiaojie!
Zhou Xiaojie is a newcomer to Polygram Records just launched this year, and the total sales of his first album "Lonely" have exceeded 3 million copies, making him the hottest newcomer this year.
Just like you back then, his achievements are incredible.
He talked about you on a previous TV show and he said he didn't like you and thought you were where you are because of luck.
Is there anything you would like to say about this? Do you feel angry about it? β
A reporter explained to Chen Qiming.
"What a stake! Congratulations on his record sales!
As for whether he likes me or not, it's all up to him, and I can't make everyone in the world like me.
Just as you can't stop someone from believing the veracity of your reports. β
Chen Qiming stood in place and replied with a smile.
"And what about the fact that you got to where you are now is luck? Do you think it was luck that you got where you are now? β
When the reporter saw Chen Qiming start answering, he immediately became excited, and one of them asked excitedly.
"Luck?" Chen Qiming glanced at the reporter who was questioning, and asked rhetorically: "Do you think it is because of luck that I have come to this point and achieved my current results?" β
The reporter subconsciously shook his head, "No, I don't think you're out of luck, you're ......"
"That's it!" Without waiting for him to continue, Chen Qiming said: "If he thinks that I have achieved my results by luck, maybe he can try to achieve my results by luck."
Not much, just eight million! I don't need him to have the same results as me, if his next album can sell 8 million copies, then I will admit that he is right, I just rely on luck to get where I am now. β
Saying that, Chen Qiming smiled, "Eight million shouldn't be high!" I remember that my total sales in the last few years didn't seem to be less than 12 million.
I subtracted him from four million, and his first record was so good, I think he should be able to do it! β
"You can do it!"
Hearing Chen Qiming's words, the reporters present were happy that Chen Qiming publicly responded to Zhou Xiaojie, but they couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
Million.
This data seems ordinary to Chen Qiming, and it can't even compare to the data of any of his records in recent years.
But he's Chen Qiming!
What is the highest record sales in the Chinese music scene except for Chen Qiming?
It seems that there are only Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Zhou Huajian.
And the highest sales of a single record of these people are more than 7 million copies.
According to statistics from professionals, in the current Chinese music scene, 7 million copies sold is already the limit.
If you think about it any higher, you basically have to add piracy.
As for why Chen Qiming is different.
He's an example.
He is the number one popularity in the Chinese-speaking region itself, and men, women and children will pay for his records.
In addition, even Chen Qiming, a large part of the reason why the sales of his later records are so high is actually from all over the world.
Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Europe and other regions.
Chen Qiming's Chinese records are also very popular in these regions.
Because of Chen Qiming's fame, many foreigners will buy his Chinese records.
It is also because Chen Qiming's Chinese records can sell well in the world, so that Chinese songs can successfully go to the world, and he will have such a high status in the Chinese music scene.
It's like Jackie Chan in a dream.
After he became popular in Hollywood, incidentally, it also made those foreign fans have a great interest in the Chinese movies he played, which indirectly made the Hong Kong movies he starred in very popular in the video market in the United States and other places.
Jackie Chan can become an international superstar, to be honest, he really doesn't rely on those movies that hit the Hollywood box office.
Box office, Jackie Chan's movie box office in Hollywood is actually like that.
The channels that really made him a superstar mainly rely on the VCD and video tape markets.
Just like the mainland at this time, almost most people have not seen Jackie Chan's movies in the cinema, but he is so popular in the mainland.
The reason is that the VCDs (most of which are pirated VCDs) are relied upon.
In the same way, Chen Qiming's English records became popular in Europe and the United States.
Naturally, fans who like him will search for all the songs he sings, whether in Chinese or English.
Slowly, Chen Qiming's Chinese records naturally became popular in these places.
Therefore, Chen Qiming is special.
Unless other singers in the Chinese music scene have huge international popularity like him, it is almost impossible to surpass him in sales.
"Several, I still have an event, so I won't talk to you, how about letting me out?"
The positive response was also responded, and the contempt for Zhou Xiaojie was also shown, and Chen Qiming didn't want to talk more about this topic.
If it weren't for the fact that this topic has been very hot recently, and Zhou Xiaojie's words have angered many of his friends, making these people end up one after another, Chen Qiming would never mention this matter in public.
Touching porcelain every year, if he says more, it will bring huge heat to the other party.
After the reporters got a response, they didn't make it difficult for Chen Qiming, and they all got out of the way and let him leave.
After Chen Qiming left, everyone glanced at each other and quickly dispersed.
After many days of Zhou Xiaojie's incident, Chen Qiming finally responded today, and his tone was full of contempt for Zhou Xiaojie, which is big news.
For the reporters present, this is a good opportunity for promotion and salary increase.
The next day, Chen Qiming's response quickly appeared in major entertainment newspapers.
"Chen Qiming responds to Zhou Xiaojie: Wait for your record sales to break 8 million and then talk to me"
"Chen Qiming: I bet a dime, Zhou Xiaojie's next record will flutter"
"Chen Qiming doesn't know Zhou Xiaojie, Zhou Xiaojie becomes a little flea jumping beam"
The media has always liked to exaggerate.
Chen Qiming clearly said that if Zhou Xiaojie's next record broke 8 million, he would admit that he could succeed because of luck.
As a result, when it came to the newspaper, it became Chen Qiming who asked Zhou Xiaojie's record sales to exceed 8 million and then come to talk to him.
For Chen Qiming, what made him even more speechless was the phrase "I bet a dime".
When did he say something like this?
He is a dignified billionaire, will he be so picky? If you want to bet, it's also a hundred dollars!
Chen Qiming's response was reported by the media and newspapers, and in less than a day, the news reached Hong Kong.
Zhou Xiaojie became famous because of these news.
But this name is a bad name.
Everyone knows that there is a person named Zhou Xiaojie who provoked Chen Qiming on TV, and Chen Qiming replied with a sentence "Don't come to talk to me if the record sales are not 8 million".
"I think Ming Tsai's words are not wrong at all, some people will go to heaven if they achieve a little bit of success.
Three million, hehe, since Ming Tsai's debut, no record has sold less than five million copies!
The trophies he won in the major awards can crush people.
Now some people actually question him.
In my opinion, I simply don't know what to say, I don't know how the word respect is written.
Just like Ming Tsai said, if he really wants to question Ming Tsai, then ask him to reach 8 million record sales data, no, no need 8 million, as long as there are 5 million, I think he is qualified to question Chen Qiming. β
Xu Zhian, who ended his Huaxing contract at the end of last year, when he participated in TVB's "Golden Songs" on Saturday night, he directly bombarded Zhou Xiaojie in the face of the host's inquiry.
To be honest, Zhou Xiaojie didn't actually do anything angry and resentful.
If Zhou Xiaojie just didn't like Chen Qiming, no one would actually target him.
But he questioned Chen Qiming's achievements.
Although the Chinese music scene is not a place that pays special attention to seniority.
But generational is always there.
How popular was Chen Qiming in 1993?
At that time, he had only defeated Jacky Cheung head-on in the second year of his debut, becoming the person with the highest single record sales in the Chinese music scene.
Chen Qiming has achieved such achievements without drifting, and he still respects his predecessors as well.
Zhou Xiaojie has indeed achieved good results this year.
But he's just a newcomer.
A newcomer who has just released a record is so rampant, dare to question the existence of the first person to beat many big-name singers for many years and reach the top of the Chinese music scene.
Such a person, if he achieves a little more, it will not be heaven.
Moreover, this guy even questioned Chen Qiming, what about other singers?
You must know that in recent years, other singers have been overwhelmed by Chen Qiming.
Even Chen Qiming is not taken seriously by him, so what about the others?
Others are not more rubbish!
It can be said that Zhou Xiaojie's words offended not Chen Qiming alone, but the entire music scene.
One person wants to fight against the entire music scene, Zhou Xiaojie is simply crazy.
And that's exactly what happened.
After Chen Qiming's side responded positively to Zhou Xiaojie.
In the next few days, singers began to speak one after another.
"Loneliness? I listened to a loneliness! What! ββWang Jie who attended the new record press conference.
"I've been preparing a movie lately, and I don't know much about it, but I think Chen Qiming's achievements are undoubted, and he has proven everything!" - Anita Mui, who was met by chance on the street.
"I don't like newcomers who make a lot of nonsense, the new movie didn't invite Zhou Xiaojie, he is not suitable for the role in the movie." - Jackie Chan, who is filming "Who Am I" in Hollywood.
"He has good grades, but it's a pity that his emotional intelligence is too low!" ββThe famous composer Gu Jiahui who attended the talk show.
A large number of singers and celebrities spoke publicly, making Zhou Xiaojie directly a street rat.
It is said that he did not dare to go out in Hong Kong, and as soon as he went out, a large number of reporters would chase him and ask him all kinds of questions.
Affected by public opinion, Zhou Xiaojie's record "Lonely", which was still a hot seller in the market, suffered a serious decline.
In the latest week's sales charts, the sales of this record fell directly from the first position to the fifth.
In addition, because of the trend of collapsing word of mouth, the movies that wanted to invite him because he was popular refused his appearance.
Among them is Jackie Chan's "Who Am I".
Zhou Xiaojie's reputation suddenly collapsed and became a hot topic of discussion in major media.
Many people think that Zhou Xiaojie has become a model figure who steals chickens and rice.
Why?
In the analysis of many media people, when Zhou Xiaojie first questioned Chen Qiming, he should actually go to the heat.
Just like Faye Wong last year.
Last year's Faye Wong rubbed Chen Qiming's popularity, although her man was beaten by Chen Qiming's fans, and Faye Wong's reputation was not very good.
But it is undeniable that that wave of popularity was rubbed by Faye Wong.
Because of that wave of popularity, Faye Wong's worth ushered in a good increase.
On the fourth day of the month, Faye Wong's record contract with Polygram officially came to an end.
Faye Wong did not choose to renew her contract with Polygram, but joined EMI Records with a high signing fee of 70 million.
It's a pity that Zhou Xiaojie did learn Faye Wong, but the development of things deviated too much.
He is not Faye Wong.
At the beginning, Faye Wong rubbed Chen Qiming's popularity, and the slogan she shouted was to surpass Chen Qiming to become the first person in the Chinese music scene, and to exert her efforts in Faye Wong's advantageous direction and literary direction.
Faye Wong was originally a diva in Chinese-speaking Asia, and when Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian and others were in a slump, she had a tendency to be the first female singer in the Chinese music scene.
This status, coupled with the fact that she is already good at literary songs, is qualified to call her the slogan that she is the first person in the Chinese music scene.
As for Zhou Xiaojie, he has nothing but the first record that sold three million copies.
In terms of qualifications, there is no qualifications, in terms of works, who is better than the song "Lonely"? Unless it's more lonely than that.
Therefore, it is obvious that he failed to gain popularity.
After Zhou Xiaojie's reputation collapsed, while the media was discussing, they also turned their attention to Polygram records.
This record company, which dominated the Hong Kong and even Chinese music scene in the early 90s, was absolutely affected by this incident.
Originally, the company was still a top company in the industry last year.
As a result, Liming and Faye Wong did not renew their contracts one after another, and Jacky Cheung was busy with musicals.
The veteran singers are walking, low-key and low-key, and among the newcomers, Zheng Zhongji's debut did not meet expectations.
finally came up with Zhou Xiaojie, and the result was ......
Polygram has invested a lot of resources in Zhou Xiaojie.
It seemed that it had been successful, but because of one sentence, it all collapsed.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Xiaojie can still mix in the entertainment industry, but if he wants to climb up again, it may be no less difficult than climbing to the sky.
In the case that so many singers have boycotted him, and even fans are unhappy with him.
His next record is not to mention five million or more than eight million, I'm afraid one million will be a problem.
In this case, everyone is paying attention to Polygram and wants to see the jokes of this overlord company in the early nineties.
