Originally, Chen Qiming didn't want to pay attention to the media hyping up the matter between him and Xie.

After all, although Xie is indeed very popular in Hong Kong now, and he can be regarded as a rare supernova in the past two years, the other party's level is too different from his own.

The gap in status and fame makes Chen Qiming respond to this matter, which will bring huge traffic to the other party.

And Xie is not Wang Jie, he is familiar with him, and he is willing to give him heat.

Even, Xie Yan's way of rubbing the heat is very radical, in a way that he wants to step on Chen Qiming's position.

Therefore, Chen Qiming didn't want to pay attention to him.

But now, Xie has gone from using the media hype in a vehicular way to openly questioning the challenge.

If Chen Qiming hadn't made any moves, I'm afraid ordinary people would think he was afraid.

However, there is action and there is action.

But Chen Qiming didn't want to go down in person to increase traffic for Xie.

Speaking of the study of the idol group of the times.

Of course, this time it will definitely not be Xu Zhian.

On August 10th, Chen Qiming met with the members of the Times Idol Group at the Hong Kong Starting Point Record Branch.

"I do have a record plan this year, with a release date coming soon, but I'm not interested in bullying newcomers.

Originally, Chen Qiming meant to let Jay Chou put these songs on his album.

But Jay Chou said that he has the album songs, and he is ready.

This is not what Chen Qiming wants to see.

There's dance music, there's rock, there's rap, and there's pop love songs.

There are benefits to this.

To deal with Xie's people, Chen Qiming already has a choice.

But the disadvantages are also significant.

Now that their studies have come to an end, the company is already preparing to create a new album for them.

However, in the end, it is the contestants of the show who were once popular in Asia, even if they disappear for a year, when they reappear, they will definitely attract huge attention.

These two songs are, "Monkey Cage" and "Happy Worship".

This is based on the individual characteristics of each member.

In fact, at the beginning, Chen Qiming's plan was to use them to make quick money.

It was Chen Qiming who beat it to the ground, or whatever, it was a victory for Xie.

Xu Zhian has developed quite well in the past two years, and has won the top ten golden songs of the Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award for two consecutive years.

In the end, with the idea of cultivating good talents for the Chinese music scene, Chen Qiming finally gave up the idea of letting them debut as soon as possible to create benefits for the company, and instead let them train in retreat for nearly a year.

It's been a while since the Times Idol Group was formed, and these days, they've been doing all kinds of training at Starting Point Records, such as singing, dancing, and language learning in Chinese, Japanese, and English.

After a long period of not being exposed, the market, the media, and their fans have almost forgotten about them.

The overall quality is very good.

But just last November, Liu Ciwei proposed that although the members of the Times Idol Group have their own skills, they are all good.

So, it's worth thinking about.

And if he doesn't want to appear on his own, and he wants to teach Xie a lesson, so that he knows the stakes, the only way is naturally to create an album for his singers and release it at the same time as Xie.

No matter what the result is, he will get a lot of attention and traffic because of this collision.

Just like before, in order to deal with Polygram, he created an album for Xu Zhi'an.

When the Four Kings of Hong Kong and Chen Qiming gradually faded out of the top ten Chinese awards, he already belonged to the first grade of the Chinese music scene.

Moreover, not only Liu Ciwei thinks so, although some of the members of the Times Idol Group want to make money by debuting and releasing records as soon as possible, there are also people who want to make a broader development path in the future, and those who agree with Liu Ciwei's ideas.

And personally selected two songs for them from their minds as their debut songs.

The members of this group can now almost be said to be the top talents in the industry.

But if you want to take the group a long way, retraining them is the best option.

Among them, Jay Chou created two songs for the idol group of the times, one "Simple Love" and the other "Nunchuck".

As a result, Chen Qiming did not continue to persuade more.

Most of the songs on the album were written by the company's lyricists.

Thanks to his current status, Chen Qiming will end up in person, regardless of the final result.

Let him deal with Xie is completely overkill.

On the first record of the idol group of the times, the theme is not grouped into one category, but there are songs of various genres.

After confirming the album songs of the Times Idol Group, Chen Qiming responded to Xie's provocation for the first time on the 12th.

So, he had to avoid ending himself.

That is, after a year-long retreat, the members of the era idol group lost a lot of popularity.

However, our company's idol group of Times is also about to release a record, and they are looking forward to a strong opponent at the same time.

I remember that Emperor Records was calling for lyricist and composer to create a new album for Xie, and if you go by the time, his new album should be in September!

The Idol Group's album will also be released in September, and they should be a good pair. ”

Chen Qiming's words were immediately recorded by the reporters at the scene and reported the next day.

"Huh! He really thinks he's a god, what the hell is the idol group of the times? ”

Emperor Records, after Yang Zhicheng saw the news, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Yang, don't underestimate this group, the Times Idol Group is the final member of the Times Idol Show created by Chen Qiming last year.

The members of this group are very popular all over Asia.

Among them, Edison Chen, in the voting stage last year, he received tens of millions of votes, and it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people have voted for him, and he is an out-and-out popular newcomer king. ”

Next to him, Xie's agent Huo Minxi saw that Boss Yang didn't know about the Times Idol Group, and immediately explained.

Hearing this, Yang Zhicheng finally faced it squarely, and he asked: "The company has gathered so many lyricists and composers, how about the new record songs they created for Xie?" ”

"There have been songs that have been selected for Xie's album, but the title song has never been on target.

We plan to expand the invitation of lyric composers.

This record is a Chinese record, and the lyrics and composers of Baodao have more advantages, and we are contacting the record company there in the hope of finding a great creator. ”

Huo Minxi said.

After a pause, she added: "It's a pity that the starting point records are too large, and they have almost poached most of the creators on the market."

Otherwise, our recruitment would not be so difficult. ”

"Pacific Entertainment is a cancer, and they don't care if they take most of the talents away in film and television, even the talents in music.

They want to be the Shaw Brothers of the new century, playing dictatorship and hegemonism. ”

Yang Zhicheng slapped the table hard, with an angry expression.

I don't blame him for being angry.

It's really too much of a bully for Pacific Entertainment.

In terms of film and television, Emperor Entertainment originally invited Wang Jing, Stephen Chow and other talents to produce movies for Emperor Entertainment this year.

As a result, Chen Qiming trapped Wang Jing and others to death, even if he offered good conditions, he failed to pry Wang Jing and others.

Then there are record labels.

Starting Point Records is more ruthless, as Chen Qiming's base camp, Starting Point Records does not let go of any talent in the Chinese music scene.

All the creators with names and surnames were recruited to the creative department of Starting Point Records.

However, because Chen Qiming attaches great importance to originality, his treatment of these creators is surprisingly high.

Almost all creators who write a high-quality song can have a certain amount of copyright income for the song.

Such favorable conditions directly made most of the creators go to them.

The result of this is that after the establishment of Emperor Records, even though there are strong funds and many excellent singers, there is a very embarrassing problem.

That is, they have too few creators.

A few of them are also crooked melons and cracked dates.

"This is something that can't be helped, Starting Point Records is the only record company in the Chinese music industry that gives priority to providing creators with a certain copyright income for songs, and various salaries and benefits are good.

Although we all mention that the treatment of creators is the same as that of the starting point, most creators will still give priority to working with the starting point records. ”

Huo Wenxi also looked helpless.

It can be said that Chen Qiming's starting point record simply gave the music world a big earthquake.

It not only recruited a large number of excellent singers, but also put forward the idea of sharing song copyright income with songwriters for the first time.

What does this mean?

In fact, that means that as long as you join the creator of Qidian Records, as long as the song he writes is used by any singer under Qidian Records, then after the release of this song, the creator can own the copyright income of this song.

The copyright income of Starting Point Records to different creators is different.

Most of them are vintage.

The creator will have a 5% revenue share of the song for 10 years.

There are also people who directly own 10% of the copyright income.

For example, creators like Jay Chou and Tao Zhe have proven themselves.

Why did Jay Chou give his songs to the idol group of the times?

The reason is not that he wants to help the company build new people.

The main reason is actually profit.

The Times Idol Group is an idol group created by Chen Qiming.

In the company's plans, this combination is not limited to China.

They will fight in Japan and South Korea, and even in Europe and the United States.

That's why companies require members to be proficient in all three languages.

Not to mention whether this combination can shine internationally in the future.

Let's just say that now, in Asia, the idol group has a very good fan base.

Smart people know that as long as the quality of the first record of the idol group of the times is passed, the sales will definitely be very good.

In this case, as Jay Chou, who owns the copyright income of songs, of course he hopes that his songs will appear on the album of the Times Idol Group.

Because, this means that as long as the album sells well in Asia, he will receive a permanent 5% income for the few songs he wrote in Asia.

Five percent may seem like a lot, but it's actually a lot.

If a song is a hit, even if it's a song that makes millions, it's not a problem.

"So what do we do? Since the idol group of this era is so powerful, should we move Xie's record plan back? ”

After getting angry, Yang Zhicheng looked at Huo Minxi helplessly.

"I don't think so, we asked Xie to choose Chen Qiming before, isn't it just to increase traffic for Xie!

Now that Chen Qiming is not going to end up in person, it is a good way to touch the idol group of the times.

The Times Idol Group is a popular group, even if they have not officially debuted, but the attention is not low.

Colliding with them can also bring Xie great attention.

If Xie can win them, Xie may even take the opportunity to expand his influence to the mainland, Japan and South Korea. Huo Minxi analyzed.

"Then it's decided,!" Yang Zhicheng knocked on the table and gave an order.

……

Regarding Emperor Records' hesitation to withdraw from the competition with the idol group of the times, Chen Qiming did not know.

He was very busy at this time.

He's busy promoting his new record.

The new album is titled "Chen Qiming 1999" and the release date has been set for August 19, which happens to be a Saturday.

This album release, except for the mainland, all other places will be released simultaneously.

Because Chen Qiming's album has not been promoted before.

So, when Chen Qiming suddenly announced that the new record would meet with fans next week, all fans were boiling.

After a year or so, Chen Qiming is finally going to release a record again.

All the fans are gearing up and ready to start buying records as soon as the album is released.

Even, some students, after hearing the news, started saving money directly from the week and bought a record after the album was released.

Compared to previous records, the title song will be released on major radio stations before release.

This time, Mr. Chen did not provide songs to any of the radio stations.

He has already planned that the songs will not be available on major radio stations until the album is released.

This is a means of preventing piracy.

As the new century approached, piracy became more and more rampant.

Worldwide, record sales have been greatly affected as a result.

Chen Qiming, a superstar singer, was also greatly affected.

Even, more than that.

Every time he releases a record, at least there will be no less than 10 million pirated VCDs circulating on the market.

In order to prevent piracy, Chen Qiming has adopted various methods.

He has cooperated with the authorities to crack down on piracy, and has also tried to actively reduce the price of records in order to get more fans to buy genuine copies.

It has also taught fans about the dangers of piracy.

But while these are useful, piracy is also inevitable.

As a result, all singers, including Chen Qiming, know that piracy cannot be eradicated.

That being the case, there is only one way, and that is to minimize the occurrence of piracy.

To this end, the singers used various methods.

Some people choose to use a variety of more expensive anti-piracy discs.

Someone directly opened the signing and sale in all regions.

Some people even choose to cooperate directly with pirates to keep the price of records to the lowest possible.

On Chen Qiming's side, his method is something that others can't do.

Don't send songs to the radio.

After some visits by Chen Qiming, it was found that many pirated copies were actually circulated from major radio stations.

When a singer sends a record to the radio station for promotion, the record is copied by some people on the radio station and then sold to pirates for their own profit.

Many singers know about this.

But they had no choice but to continue sending songs to the radio.

No way, their records need to be promoted.

Without radio promotion, the album would have sold even less.

So, they can't do without the radio at all.

Chen Qiming is different, his record has a lot of attention, even if there is no radio as a promotional aid, there will be countless other platforms to help promote it.

Even, there is no need to advertise, as long as they see his records in physical stores, fans will hardly hesitate to pay for them.

Therefore, Chen Qiming chose not to send songs to the radio station to hit the charts, in order to prevent piracy from appearing on the market when the record was just released.

Of course, there is a downside to this, that is, it will inevitably offend the major radio stations.
