Chapter 487: Mixed Album
"I'm really not sure about this, but I'll try it, and if she really doesn't want to act, I hope you can do the same."
Ang Lee said.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming nodded.
There are some things that you really can't force.
Although he really thinks it's a good thing to work with Wang Zuxian again.
But there are some things that really can't be forced.
Wang Zuxian has already announced his retirement in the past few years, even if Ang Lee, a big director of Treasure Island, comes out, he may not be able to invite her.
Here, some people may say that these songs are not a style when put on an album, and they do not match each other.
Fortunately, Chen Qiming has experience in this area, so it is easy to shoot.
As one of the most outstanding contributors to Chinese music and the initiator of modern Chinese pop songs, Luo Dayou's reputation in the global Chinese community is not bad.
The construction of various scenes and the investigation of exterior scenes take time.
But there has been no news that Wang Zuxian has confirmed his appearance.
At present, the preparations for "Zheng He's Voyage to the West" are in full swing.
Since then, Ang Lee has been working on this matter, and it is said that he has made several trips to Canada.
So, even if it's busy this year, he will prepare a record.
They'll pay for it and buy the whole album.
"I see, then you can find another actor!"
"The Matrix" was filmed in the United States for more than a month, and in mid-March, it moved to Hong Kong to shoot some location scenes here.
This song will be produced in Chinese, Cantonese and Japanese.
Therefore, this kind of song with different styles may give people a sense of disconnection to others, but in Chen Qiming's case, it is completely reasonable and compatible with his style.
After discussing with Li An, he didn't stay long, and left not long after.
Another reason was that he wanted to try it out and see how his mixed-language album would sell.
Time is like flowing water, and before you know it, the time has come to May.
"Zhihu Ye" can be compared to it, why?
With him, a new era was ushered in.
A few months ago, when Ang Lee came to him, he said that he wanted to cooperate with Wang Zuxian, hoping that the other party could find Wang Zuxian to star in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" together.
After a pause, as if worried that Chen Qiming would be angry, he explained: "She is really suitable for this role, this newcomer has aura and good acting skills." ”
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I really can't help it over there.
Mr. Chen...... One more thing......"
Also, there is a difference in the language of the song.
Originally, Chen Qiming's plan was not to release an album this year.
Jacky Cheung is like Chow Yun-fat in his dreams, and Chen Qiming is Jackie Chan.
The album "Too Soft Heart", which represents the youth of the main force of contemporary entertainment, is becoming more and more influential, making it regarded as the only classic in the hearts of countless people.
"What's the name of this newcomer you're talking about?"
In addition, the role of Yu Jiaolong is tentatively scheduled as Guo Feili.
By the way, it also gave Chen Qiming time to return to Pacific Film and Television to help prepare for "Zheng He Goes to the West".
This album is no less sweet than Teresa Teng, no less than kissing goodbye to Jacky Cheung.
In many parts of the world, the song has a large audience.
After the holiday, on the afternoon of February 4, Chen Qiming and several other staff members of "The Matrix" flew back to the United States to continue the filming of "The Matrix".
"Mr. Chen, Ang Li called you."
Another reason comes from nostalgia.
Straight to the point.
Just like a good English song will be listened to by many people in China.
At the same time, the preparations for "Zheng He's Voyage to the West" were also announced.
If the sales are good.
And this English song is still very popular all over the world.
Chen Qiming, on the other hand, took a flight to Hong Kong in the afternoon.
In the 90s, Chen Qiming also became the youth of a group of people.
This was deliberately done by Chen Qiming.
Hearing this, Chen Qiming's face became strange.
However, Ang Lee also fought for the sovereignty of his work, saying that if he found a more suitable target in the future, he hoped to use a more suitable candidate.
The advantage of this is that it can not only save time and effort, but also promote a wave of Chinese songs, so that the proportion of Chinese songs in the market will increase.
She said she knows you too, and she's filmed your music video before, so I want to say, if I can, why don't you give her this role? ”
When the promotion effect has been played, the quality of Chinese songs has been reached.
In the end, Chen Qiming and Ang Lee agreed that it would be best if Ang Lee could invite Wang Zuxian, and if Wang Zuxian could not be invited, Chen Qiming would also be willing to act.
Chen Qiming didn't react at first, and then remembered that he had promised to play Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
It is also because of their own influence that Chinese songs have achieved good results in the global market.
Together, the chain reaction will naturally arouse the interest of these foreign listeners in Chinese songs.
It is Luo Dayou, the godfather of Baodao music.
Then, the Chinese songs and Cantonese songs in the album will naturally be heard by them.
During the next two days of vacation, I visited friends in Hong Kong.
But he can't force others to take the lead because of this.
This English rock song is adapted from Jacky Cheung's most popular song "Kiss Goodbye".
The entertainment industry is so realistic, when you become famous, some people are willing to visit you.
Of course, in addition to him visiting others, there are also many people who visit him.
The other person is not simply described as having good grades, but at the top level, a superstar.
In addition to Luo Dayou's good sales in the global market, Jacky Cheung among the four heavenly kings is also good.
But there are some things that Chen Qiming can not completely decide.
In this regard, Chen Qiming did not force it.
There is such a saying in the music industry over the years, "To learn pop music, there are two albums you must listen to, one is Luo Dayou's "Zhihu Ye" released in 1982, which is the beginning of Chinese pop music, and the other is Chen Qiming's "The Heart is Too Soft", which is the pinnacle of pop songs, the first classic. ”
As long as the listeners of these countries like the songs.
Youth passes so quickly and so suddenly.
The sixth song, the English song "Whataya Want from Me".
Even, some people may have become mothers and fathers at this time.
Green screen shooting is hard and tests the actors' acting skills.
"Zhang Ziyi?"
But for many, it's well deserved.
"Ang Lee?"
Six years is not a long time, but it is definitely not a short time.
Compared with the previous films of Pacific Film and Television, this film has a larger investment and a large scene.
"Zhang Ziyi! She just starred in "My Father and Mother" directed by Zhang Yimou in the mainland, and I heard her say that she has starred in your MV and has a good relationship with you. ”
On this day, Chen Qiming was reading the script for the filming of the last scene.
The fifth song, the Japanese song "Lemon".
Seven songs, different versions combined, a total of ten songs, just make up an official album.
It's a pity that Jacky Cheung is not Chen Qiming after all, even if he has the support of Polygram's entire company, he is not as good as Chen Qiming, who has the help of an era.
The filming of "The Matrix" was coming to an end at this time.
Nostalgia for youth.
Even if you ask for help, you will definitely not be subject to others because of this.
His "Zhihu Ye" directly laid the foundation for the enlightenment of countless latecomer music.
After a long time, Chen Qiming himself felt that he should not let down the fans.
However, this is someone else.
Of course, it could also be a problem with the actors.
It's a new person I've found here, and I think it's still very much the same character.
According to statistics, the album has sold nearly 20 million copies in the global market so far.
At present, Chen Qiming has tentatively prepared these songs.
The first song is "Under Mt. Fuji".
If you use a metaphor to describe it.
In recent years, with the passage of time and Chen Qiming's success, the influence of "Too Soft Heart" in the music world has become more and more widespread.
Love House and Wuxia, Jacky Cheung also appeared in the sight of these people, "Kiss Goodbye" has become one of the best-selling albums of Chinese singers in the world after Chen Qiming's album and Luo Dayou's "Zhihu Ye".
During this period, most of the teenagers and girls who once chased Chen Qiming have entered the society, worked hard in the society, and started their new lives.
It can be clearly seen that there are more Chinese songs in the album.
Guo Feili is an employee of his company, and recently has a good popularity and fame because of "Journey to the East".
At the same time, countless fans of Chen Qiming began to like him from this album.
Fortunately, Pacific Film and Television has also made a lot of blockbusters in recent years, and has experience in making large productions, so it is also well prepared.
However, what is more surprising is that the Chinese singer who has very good album sales in the world is not second only to Chen Qiming's four kings in Hong Kong.
Li An on the other end of the phone said as soon as he answered the phone.
English, Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean are all available.
After Chen Qiming opened the global market, Luo Dayou was once very famous in the world, surpassing the Four Heavenly Kings.
Chen Qiming has understood since he heard that Ang Lee has been to Canada several times without Wang Zuxian's consent, and he understands that it is definitely impossible for Wang Zuxian to act, so he is not surprised.
Countless young people regard this album as their favorite.
These songs with good quality and good dissemination will naturally attract attention.
"Too Soft Heart" was released in 1993, 6 years ago.
Ang Lee, who was on the other end of the phone, was obviously relieved after getting Chen Qiming's permission to find another actor.
When Chen Qiming released his first English EP, there was a song "Take Me to Your Heart".
He released a song in English, Japanese, and Korean on the album.
But he didn't hang up the phone immediately, but hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Regarding the role of Yu Jiaolong, I personally interviewed Guo Feili, and I felt that he was not suitable for this role.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the king of all kinds of changes.
I personally went to Canada to find her three times.
The second song, "King of K Song", this song is available in Chinese and Cantonese.
I saw my little assistant walking in with a phone.
Chen Qiming picked up the phone.
For Luo Dayou to achieve such results, some people feel incredible.
His album "Zhihu Ye" is currently the best-selling album in the global market, except for Chen Qiming's album.
Therefore, for the new album, Chen Qiming hopes to promote more Chinese songs.
In this case, I am definitely willing to help her, and I will take the initiative to help her if I have a good opportunity.
Just like the youth of the post-90s generation in later generations is Jay Chou, Lin Junjie, and Xu Song.
Speaking of the proportion of Chinese songs in the global market, it is worth mentioning that in recent years, with the explosion of Chen Qiming in the world, in addition to his own Chinese songs have been sold well in the world.
The reason for this is that this album is the first album in China to sell more than 10 million in one year, as well as his full song classics.
At the same time, Chen Qiming also began to prepare his new album between filming.
He was also influenced by Chen Qiming.
Affected by this, Polygram also produced an English album for Jacky Cheung for a time, hoping that he can succeed in the global market like Chen Qiming.
It's true that these songs are different genres, some rap, some rock, some electronic music, some sad songs, and they don't fit on one album.
It is a must-listen album for countless musicians.
If there is a more suitable candidate, he will definitely try his best to use this person.
But on the Chinese side, his pinnacle work is still "Too Soft Heart".
Every time her attitude is very resolute, it is obviously impossible to appear in our play. ”
This is in addition to the fact that Chen Qiming is too busy to produce multiple albums in a unified language.
The third song, "Thank You for Your Love 1999"
It is this fame.
For directors, especially big directors like Ang Lee, they have high requirements for their works.
The classic albums of other Chinese singers have also been significantly promoted as a result.
Naturally, there is more preparation.
In other languages, there are only one or two songs.
Song 7, Korean song "Y (Please Tell Me Why)"
He didn't do well on a global scale.
In Chen Qiming's place, neither he, nor fans and music critics will find the style of the song incompatible.
Chen Qiming's style has always been known for its variety, and he has tried every style of music.
It is the enlightenment music of Chen Qiming's generation, the main force in the music scene.
After all, it's a song that was once in the top 30 on the Billboard.
In the future, his albums will be more of this mixed language.
Just like this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Ang Lee really hopes that Chen Qiming, a person who has a good market in Europe and the United States, will star.
From the perspective of time, this drama may also be about to start filming.
The fourth song, "Too Many"
The new album will not be just a single language, but a mixed language album.
The result was quite different.
The two also entered Europe and the United States.
But he can't stop the enthusiasm of fans, and almost every time he appears in public, fans will ask him questions about his new album.
One person has a little bit of achievement, but there is nothing to worry about at all.
"Hey! Director Li. ”
He directly represents Chen Qiming and represents countless people's love for this album.
In the past few years, Chen Qiming has released countless albums, even if his English albums are a global hit, once beat Mike Jackson to avoid the edge.
Chen Qiming's heart was dumbfounded.
Going around and around, Ang Lee turned back and found Zhang Ziyi.
