This time, Zheng Qian's itinerary was completely disclosed to the public. Because he wanted to promote his fourth album, Universal Music broke the news. The entire Hong Kong media conducted enthusiastic follow-up interviews on Zheng Qian's arrival.
There were also exciting online discussions in the famous forum Hong Kong community.
There are even more fans who have made appointments to meet offline to welcome Zheng Qian's arrival.
At this time, many artist companies in Hong Kong clearly understood how high Zheng Qian's appeal was. Even if he was not in the world, his legend still existed in the world.
The once popular works such as "Really Love You" and "Midnight Serenade" are still regarded as classics by many people one year later. The number of listening, downloading and even album sales are still growing rapidly.
This alone is enough to make many record companies jealous.
After all, each of these classic songs is a precious treasure, but I felt a little relieved when I learned that Universal Music did not have the copyright to the related works.
Many foreigners around the world who stopped at Hong Kong Airport were extremely surprised by this scene. They even became excited when they realized the identity of the singer who was about to arrive in Hong Kong.
Many foreigners obviously know Zheng Qian's identity.
After all, Zheng Qian has been making a name for himself in Europe during this period of time.
It has been frequently reported in major professional music and entertainment magazines in Europe.
Asian singers from the East swept through all the top concert halls!
He defeated famous musicians such as Serchiak in Warsaw, and was praised by the Russian President at the Moscow state banquet. He was in the limelight for a while!
He is also the singer-songwriter of the popular songs "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess"!
The popularity of symphonic works such as "Victory" and "Soviet March" in the music world also made Zheng Qian's status suddenly rise a lot.
Even those self-proclaimed classical music lovers have to affirm Zheng Qian's achievements.
The works written by Zheng Qian for the Military Art Symphony Orchestra are well received by professional musicians in the European music scene.
But it is a symphony after all, and its popularity will not sink easily. Ordinary people have no chance to hear it.
Therefore, in comparison, "Opera 2" and "Dance of the Goddess" composed by Zheng Qian a year ago, after being spread on the Internet, Zheng Qian quickly became famous throughout Europe.
Especially after Zheng Qian performed in major concert halls and after more and more professional music magazine reports clarified his identity as a Chinese, many imposters have disappeared.
Instead, the name Zheng Qian quickly became popular.
Now, many people know that these two songs were composed by Chinese singers.
I even want to call on Zheng Qian to return to Europe and continue his concert hall tour.
Although many brokerage companies are actively flirting with Yuexiang Media, Zheng Qian's time is really tight and his schedule is very full, so it is difficult to return to Europe and resume his concert tour.
What's more, although the income from the concert is good, compared with Zheng Qian's current status and popularity, its value is obviously much weaker.
Even if Zheng Qian casually endorses a top brand, his endorsement fee is completely higher than his income from European tours.
There are better ways to make money, why not?
Of course, Zheng Qian also really loves music.
So even if the income is higher than expected, if there is enough time, I will still agree to tour.
But now, I really don’t have time.
As soon as Zheng Qian landed, the airport manager informed him of the situation in the lobby.
Not to mention it was a huge crowd, but there were already people standing on both sides of the airport pick-up gate, and a stampede would occur if you were not careful.
In the entire airport hall, everyone was holding nameplates with Zheng Qian’s Chinese and English names, and they were all waiting enthusiastically for Zheng Qian’s arrival.
"Can't go VIP?" Ren Xin was a little surprised: "Why?"
Zheng Qian also wondered, with so many people, wouldn't it be easier to go through the VIP channel?
The airport manager was a little confused: "Isn't this arranged by your Universal Music Company? They said that Mr. Zheng must be allowed to go through the ordinary passage. They said that there were many media outside and they had been waiting for a long time. They just wanted to ask Mr. Zheng about the status of his new album.
I don’t know the details, why don’t I call and ask?”
Zheng Qian came to his senses.
Universal Music obviously wanted to take the opportunity of landing in Hong Kong to announce that Zheng Qian's fourth new album will be released soon.
In this case, you will directly save a lot of advertising costs!
Everyone knows that Zheng Qian’s new album is about to be released!
What a great guy, what a marketing genius!
Zheng Qian originally wanted to refuse, but the airport manager had already called over nearly a hundred male bodyguards, wearing sunglasses and masks. They all gathered around Zheng Qian and others, holding hands to form three circles, surrounding Zheng Qian and others.
Ren Xin and Mao Miaorui looked at each other, but felt quite satisfied.
This security force is definitely treated like an international superstar!
If it is used for publicity, it will definitely be very impressive. Tomorrow, the headlines of major media will probably be replaced by this posture.
Soon, everyone came to the airport passage. The fans on both sides of the passage screamed when they saw Zheng Qian.
"Zheng Qian!"
"Zheng Qian!"
"Zheng Qian!"
"Zheng Qian, I love you!!"
The sound waves created by countless shouts almost shook the ceiling off.
Many passers-by in the airport subconsciously turned around and looked curiously. After learning that it was Zheng Qian, they quickly ran over and took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and excitedly joined the shouting team.
Zheng Qian's national popularity in Hong Kong is still very high.
After all, so many classic songs have been bombarded in a short period of time. After a year of accumulation, Zheng Qian is definitely a popular star in Hong Kong.
In addition to hundreds of tall and strong male bodyguards, there were also numerous airport security guards at the scene to maintain order and avoid stampedes.
"Zheng Qian, I love you!"
"Zheng Qian!"
"Ah Zheng Qian looked at me, ah I'm dead!"
"So handsome, so handsome, all the handsome guys from the Mainland are so handsome!"
"I'm so excited, those eyes are so bright, I feel like I can see through the same color of the underwear I'm wearing today..."
"Zheng Qian hasn't been to Hong Kong for a long time. He has never been reported by the media!"
"You don't understand, he is on a concert tour in Europe! The British newspaper Gramophone has reported it many times!"
The atmosphere at the scene rose, and countless people's shouts, discussions, and screams formed a scalding wave.
Although the fans were happy, it caused disturbance to some passing passengers.
Fortunately, the airport has already had experience in dealing with such situations. After all, Hong Kong is an international capital and countless superstars have appeared here. The relevant response plans are very sufficient and will not disturb ordinary passengers' boarding.
Zheng Qian and others were surrounded by a group of bodyguards, walking step by step, very slowly, but they had to keep smiling!
But Zheng Qian was very pleased to see so many people coming to pick him up at the airport.
This proves that his past efforts have not been in vain and his strength has been recognized.
In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, although Zheng Qian rose to prominence very late, he has indeed left a lot of legends in the past year.
Therefore, even if Zheng Qian is not in Hong Kong, major media will quickly report what Zheng Qian has done in the mainland and overseas, so that all Zheng Qian's Hong Kong fans can get Zheng Qian's schedule and news updates as soon as possible.
It can also increase the sales and clicks of major media.
After walking for more than half an hour, Zheng Qian and other talents boarded a black Mercedes-Benz business car amidst the eyes and screams of the fans. After waving, the car started and drove all the way to the hotel where they were staying.
.
"Phew, such a short journey, I'm so tired that I'm sweating!"
Mao Miaorui tugged on her collar and said in disbelief: "The fans in Hong Kong are so enthusiastic!"
"That's because you haven't seen Thai fans before."
Ren Xin smiled and said: "That's called enthusiasm!"
Sister Xin's words reminded Zheng Qian of his Asian tour last year.
The fans I met at Bangkok Station obviously hadn't seen many people at the airport, but who knew that as soon as I turned a street, I saw that the whole street was filled with people.
They are all my fans!
People are crowded, shoulders are rubbed, and heat waves are rising.
Almost 90% of them are female fans.
The merchants on both sides of the road almost stopped doing business and all ran out to watch the celebrities.
At that time, although Zheng Qian was a little popular in Hong Kong, his influence overseas had not yet reached this level.
Later, Zheng Qian learned that Thai fans had formed a fan support club. As long as Zheng Qian arrived in Bangkok, fans from all over Thailand would gather to give the idol the greatest support and spectacle, so that the idol would not feel lonely in the local area.
To be honest, Zheng Qian was really touched.
However, it is not just Zheng Qian who receives such treatment. Other Chinese superstars, such as Andy Lau, Cheng Long, etc., when they arrive in Thailand, their fans will be even more welcoming.
So it’s not that Zheng Qian’s influence is very high, but that Thai fans have a strong centripetal force.
Everyone discussed for a while the status of fan support in various countries, and everyone was deeply moved.
However, Zheng Qian also knows that fans are a double-edged sword and he must play a leading role in the future.
Soon, we arrived at the hotel where we were staying.
After a short rest, Universal Music sent someone to take Zheng Qian to the company.
This is Zheng Qian’s third time here. He just finished recording an English album not long ago, so he is still familiar with the staff in the recording studio. When Zheng Qian arrived, many staff members stood up and nodded to Zheng Qian.
, "Brother Qian!"
Zheng Qian smiled and said, "Hello!"
"Hello!"
After staying in the reception room for a while, Wan Feng walked in with a heavy expression, glanced at Zheng Qian, and then sat across from him with a sigh, "Qianzi, there is something I must tell you, so be mentally prepared."
"What's wrong?" Zheng Qian frowned.
Wan Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled bitterly and said: "The American company does not agree to publish your single. Although we have repeatedly requested, although they are all under the name of Universal Music, after all, they are two companies, and one is in Asia.
, one in North America..."
"Why?" Zheng Qian was surprised. He didn't think the three songs he wrote would be bad.
Ren Xin and Mao Miaorui in the reception room were also speechless.
You were the one who said the single album was yours at the beginning, but now that we have written the work, you actually said it can’t be released?
Wan Feng sighed: "We are in a competitive relationship. Although they also value these three English songs, their attitude changed after learning that the follow-up album will be produced and distributed by our Hong Kong headquarters. Of course, they are not willing to work hard for others.
Although the single album is good, the profit is not as good as the official album. In fact, if it were us, we would most likely do the same thing."
Zheng Qian understood, he didn't say anything, he just asked: "Then, can I still produce my fourth album with you?"
"Yes, of course I can!"
Wan Feng said quickly: "The attitude of the US headquarters does not represent our Hong Kong headquarters. We are two individuals."
"What about the single album?" Zheng Qian asked again.
Wan Feng smiled bitterly and said: "This... there is a high probability that there is nothing we can do. The channels of our Hong Kong headquarters are limited to Asia, and the channels in Europe are handled by the Los Angeles headquarters."
"Then can I get these three songs to be released by other companies?"
Zheng Qian asked: "I remember there is a right of priority in our contract. Since you don't issue it now, then I will change the company, okay?"
"this……"
Wan Feng was a little embarrassed. He could already feel the sullenness in Zheng Qian's tone. In fact, if it were him, he would definitely be angry.
I was too talkative back then, what a mouthful!
Just release the fourth album!
Why advocate the release of a single album!
"Okay, just one sentence." Zheng Qian frowned.
"Okay! Of course!"
Wan Feng said quickly: "But the official album must be released here."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, don't worry about copyright issues. All the copyrights of the works belong to you. You can authorize the two companies to release these three songs."
"Right!"
Zheng Qian nodded: "Then let's do it. I won't record any songs today. I'm not in a good state. Come back tomorrow."
"Okay, Qianzi, I'll see you off. I'll find a restaurant to take care of you in the evening."
Wan Feng said with a smile.
After leaving Universal Music and returning to the hotel, Ren Xin complained a little: "This Wan Feng is so unreliable!"
"It's not unreliable."
Zheng Qian shook his head: "It's just that he is a little hasty in doing things, and although he is a music director, his influence is effective. Maybe he can say a few words in Hong Kong, but in North America, he has nothing."
"Yes, it's nothing!" Hao Youfan nodded.
Although she was not present for the discussion just now, she was right to echo it with indignation.
Mao Miaorui looked at Zheng Qian and said: "Brother Qian, have you decided on which company to release the single? We don't have channels from American record companies, and it's just a single, not an album... it might not be easy.
.”
Zheng Qian said: "Then you tell them that if they are willing to release this single, and if the response is good enough, then they will release my English album in the future."
"But here at Universal Music..."
"Universal Music is responsible for the distribution of Chinese albums. What is the priority they say? I don't agree. If they have any objections, then go to court and pay some money. In the future, Chinese albums don't need to be released here.
"
"……I see."
Mao Miaorui was shocked by Zheng Qian at this moment. There are not many singers who openly challenge Universal Music, but if there is anyone destined to be among them, Brother Qian is definitely one of them.
"Brother Qian is mighty and domineering!"
Although Hao Youfan didn't understand, he still looked admiring and clapped excitedly!
In charge of the pure atmosphere team.
Ren Xin could see that Zheng Qian was a little angry. At Zheng Qian's level, no one would be happy to be rejected like this.
So at this time, as an agent, the only thing she could do was to keep silent.
After finally reaching the top of the food chain and gaining some say, why do we still have to live so tiringly?
