Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 110: Hope for the Annual Championship (Monthly Ticket Plus )

Ma Shifang’s statement about the new Four Heavenly Kings was not made on the Internet, but was published directly in the mainstream media.

This actually represents the thoughts of some mainstream media to a certain extent.

As soon as this article was published, it immediately caused an uproar in Taiwan.

Many media outlets followed suit and quoted the article in their reports.

In just a few days, this statement was widely mentioned in the music industry.

Many media people have discussed this issue.

On the Internet, because of Ma Shifang's article, it was inevitable that the question of who should be chosen as the new Four Heavenly Kings once again became the most discussed post on major music forums.

"I listened to Wu Zhuo's new album, it's really good, but it's a joke to say that he can become one of the new Four Heavenly Kings with just one album."

"The person above said that when Aaron Kwok was selected as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he had only been in the industry for less than two years and only had one hit album, "I Love You So Much."

"Can it be the same? Who is Aaron Kwok? Who is Wu Zhuo?"

"Why is it different? Look at the sales of Wu Zhuo's album. Do you think it will flop in other parts of Asia?"

"Yes, as far as I know, record companies in other parts of Asia are currently vying to request that Wu Chao's album be released in other regions!"

"Why? Who is Ma Shifang? Pan Weibo is so popular, doesn't he deserve the title of the New Four Heavenly Kings?"

"Yes! I think in terms of popularity, Wilber Pan is no less popular than Jay Chou. Why shouldn't he be selected?"

"Upstairs, as a professional, let me explain to you, do you know how people in the industry call Pan Weibo?

Cover artist! You know what a cover artist is!
It means that all of Pan Weibo’s songs are actually covers.

Here, let me tell you who covered his popular songs.

His most popular song last year, "Can't Help Falling in Love", was a cover of "Y (Please Tell Me Why)" by the Korean group Free Style.

The song "Happy Worship" sung with Angela Chang in 2004 was a cover of "Come On" by the Korean group Turtles.

"Tell Me" is a cover of "(Tell Me)" by Korean singers Jinusean and Uhm Jung Hwa.

Tell me, apart from these songs, what other songs does Wilber Pan have that are worth showing off?
To put it bluntly, Pan Weibo is the least qualified to be on this list. Xiaozhu, Guangliang, Tank, Wu Kequn, any of these people are more qualified than him. "

……

The new Four Heavenly Kings are once again hot topic.

But it didn't affect Wu Zhuo at all.

Since the official release of his album on the 17th, he began to frequently participate in some variety shows in Taiwan to promote the album "My Personal Style".

With Wu Zhuo's current popularity, it is no longer a difficult task for him to appear on TV shows. Many programs want to take advantage of his popularity and have actively sent him invitations.

"Kangxi Comes Here", "Lollipop", "Black Society" and even Xiaozhu's "Entertainment 100%" did not care that Wu Chao and Luo Zhixiang were competitors and invited him.

In two weeks, Wu Chao appeared on a show almost every two to three days, and took turns to appear on several of the most popular programs in Taiwan.

With this large-scale publicity, the sales of the album "My Personal Style" are increasing day by day.

The first week's data was the most impressive. Including the pre-sale data, the product directly ranked first on Taiwan's sales list with sales of 130,000.

In the second week, there was no pre-sale data support, and the data dropped a lot. However, because the song was widely circulated in Taiwan, passers-by began to buy the record, and this week still achieved a terrifying sales volume of 80,000 copies.

After two weeks of release, the sales volume reached 210,000 copies. Even if the pre-sale data is included, this is definitely a very scary figure.

So far this year, the entire Taiwan province has released countless records that have been hailed as classics by later generations.

Jolin Tsai's "Dancing Diva", Jay Chou's "Still Fantasy", David Tao's "Too Beautiful", Leehom Wang's "Change Myself", Kenji Wu's "General's Order"...

In addition, there are a series of albums released in the first half of the year, including "Only Have Feelings for You" by Fahrenheit and "Cao Cao" by JJ Lin.

It can be said that this year's Taiwanese music scene is a real battle of the gods.

But in this year of fierce competition, the album "My Personal Style" also stands out.

Currently, only Jolin Tsai's "Dancing Diva" and Jay Chou's "Still Fantasy" can match the first two weeks of data plus pre-sales. In the second week of sales data, "My Personal Style" even surpassed "Still Fantasy" and "Dancing Diva".

The reason why the total data of "Still Fantasy" and "Dancing Divas" in the first two weeks exceeded that of "My Personal Style" was mainly due to the pre-sale data.

Excluding the pre-sale data, the post-sale data shows that the two albums are actually inferior to "My Personal Style".

Therefore, according to the prediction of Taiwan media, Wu Zhuo's album may win the annual sales champion this year.

……

On December 12, Wu Chao held his first autograph session in Ximending.

This will also be his last event in Taiwan this year.

After the signing event, Wu Chao will leave for Singapore and other places to launch a round of record promotion activities involving seven or eight regional cities.

A few days after its release in Taiwan, the album "My Personal Style" was released in Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and the Mainland.

After its release, with the help of the huge sales in Taiwan, this album also achieved exceptionally impressive data in these regions.

Especially in the mainland, even without advance pre-sales, the number of tickets sold was 63058, once again surpassing Pin Guan and Luo Zhixiang who were just beaten to a pulp by Wu Chao in Taiwan.

Of course, it is worth mentioning here that the sales of Luo Zhixiang’s album are actually not bad.

In two weeks, the total sales volume in Taiwan reached 140,000.

This sales volume is not weak at all.

It's just a pity that he met Wu Zhuo...

What can I say about Wu Zhuo’s first personal autograph session!

It can only be described as a surging crowd.

It was densely packed with people.

As soon as Wu Zhuo appeared on the stage, the screams from the audience were deafening, making the earphones on Wu Zhuo's ears buzz.

"Thank you very much, thank you for your support."

Wu Zhuo stood on the stage and glanced at the audience below, looking slightly surprised.

He originally thought that his fans would definitely be mostly girls.

But today, it seems that this is not entirely the case.

Among the people who came to the scene today, about half were boys.

After a brief exchange of words, Wu Zhuo began to sing the song.

The first song he sang was "Nuan Nuan".

This song is one of his most popular songs on this album.

“You can do whatever you want”

"I'm willing to go wherever you say."

……

While Wu Zhuo was singing, the boys in the audience were whispering to each other.

"You like Wu Zhuo too?"

"I don't like it, it's my girlfriend who likes it. It's so annoying. She asked me to come here early in the morning to line up, and even said that if I can't get an autograph, we'll break up."

"What about you? Do you like him?"

"I like him, mainly because the person I'm pursuing likes him."

"Oh, I see. Love the house and the dog..."
