Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 167 Getting started
“Please consider our idea. Based on our assessment of the market, if Fahrenheit carries out activities according to our schedule in the coming period,

Fahrenheit has every hope of becoming a new popular band in Japan.

You don't know.

Just now, after watching the show, my wife found out that Fahrenheit was currently being run by our company, and she immediately asked me for Fahrenheit’s autograph and wanted to meet them.

You know, my wife is very picky. In all of Japan, she has only pursued Takuya Kimura.

Even she was attracted to Fahrenheit, I can’t imagine how many people in Japan are crazy about Fahrenheit right now.”

Chen Huiying turned on the speakerphone. The middle-aged man on the phone spoke very gently, even to the point of being humble.

And two days ago, Wu Chao had personally contacted the other party.

Wu Zhuo still remembers the other person's face and his words clearly:

“Fahrenheit is indeed very popular in China, but this is Japan, where idols are everywhere, and Johnny’s launches an idol group every year, investing heavily.

Even so, there are only a few that truly become the trend.

So, I want to remind you not to look at Japan with the same eyes as the Chinese market.”

But now, the other party's proud face seemed to have taken off the disguise, and his tone was full of humility, which made Wu Chao feel very funny.

"Mr. Morita, I understand your feelings very well. We both have a common goal, which is to take Fahrenheit's business in Japan to greater heights.

However, our schedule has already been arranged in advance, and we will rush to Korea the day after tomorrow to participate in "Inkigayo".

You know, this is our first time to perform in Korea, and if we miss it, it will affect the attitude of Inkigayo towards us in the future.”

Wu Zhuo spoke on behalf of Chen Huiying.

Chen Huiying doesn't speak Japanese and the translator is in another car, so Wu Chao has to come.

"Is it Wu Zhuojun?" The person on the other end of the phone was startled when he heard Wu Zhuo's voice, and then said with some joy:
"Wu Zhuojun, it would be better if you communicated with me."

After a pause, he said, "Regarding the situation in Korea, we at Sony actually have a good relationship with Inkigayo. We can definitely help you greet Inkigayo."

"Mr. Morita, this is not a question of greeting, it's a question of the other party's attitude towards us, Fahrenheit.

Indeed, Sony can ask Inkigayo to remove us from the stage.

But today is only one day away from the performance! This will inevitably have a negative impact on Inkigayo.

By then, no matter what the reason is, Inkigayo will definitely think that Fahrenheit is a dishonest group."

Wu Zhuo exchanged glances with Chen Huiying next to him, and then said:

"Mr. Morita, how about this? We will continue to go to Korea tomorrow, and after participating in the Korean Inkigayo the day after tomorrow, we will return to Japan as soon as possible.

At that time, we will cooperate with you in any activities held by Japan."

……

After talking with Morita, Wu Chao hung up the phone.

Chen Huiying, Wang Dongcheng and others then turned their eyes to Wu Chao.

"What did Sony say?"

"The data sent back by Sony's market regulators is very encouraging, and according to Morita, we are liked by many women who watch the show.

Sony wanted us to give up going to Korea and stay in Japan to help them promote the album."

Wu Chao briefly recounted his conversation with Morita.

"How can this be possible? We have already agreed with the Korean side that we will be on stage the day after tomorrow."

Chen Huiying shook her head immediately.

"So I turned him down and told him that we would come back as soon as we finished Inkigayo in Korea."

……

Fahrenheit came and went in a hurry, and boarded a plane to Korea at noon the next day.

However, the legend about them in Japan completely started in Japan.

"Fahrenheit Double" was released in Japan yesterday, but yesterday's data was not very good, with only a few thousand copies sold in one day.

Although this figure is almost comparable to the total sales of last year's first album in Japan, it is still unsatisfactory.

And after the broadcast of "MUSIC STATION" on TV Asahi last night.

Fahrenheit has received a lot of exposure in Japan.

As a new day begins, the sales data of "Double-Sided Fahrenheit" continues to rise.

The song playback data for this album on the Internet also exploded.

On the 8th, Wu Zhuo and others obtained yesterday's sales data from Japan in South Korea.

Thirty thousand tickets, twenty-seven thousand tickets in a single day.

"This is too much! 27,000 a day, that would be more than 150,000 a week.

Little Japan is indeed worthy of being the No. 1 record market in Asia."

Seeing this data, several members could no longer sit still. Jiro Wang no longer thought that entering the Japanese market was dispensable, and his face was full of amazement.

"This is just the beginning. The reputation of 'Double-Sided Fahrenheit' is continuing to grow. Later on, the data of this album will probably be even more terrifying."

Chen Huiying walked over with a smile on her face.

“Japan is a market that can accommodate two to three million sales.

A daily figure of 20,000 to 30,000 might be considered a good result a few months after the album was released.

But in the early stages of sales, this data is completely insignificant.

Sony told me that they will launch a large number of promotional advertisements in the next two days to support this album.

As long as the publicity is in place, this data will even increase several times in the future.

Of course, all this assumes that the audience likes the album.

But judging from the fact that you have attracted so much attention with just one appearance on the show, this album is definitely going to be a hit.”

As she spoke, Chen Huiying couldn't help but smiled and said:

"Boys! You could be international superstars in no time.

Japan is the center of Asian music. If you can achieve any success here, you will undoubtedly secure the title of the top group in the Chinese music scene."

"And South Korea." Jiro Wang suddenly spoke.

"We are on Inkigayo today. With the popularity of this show in Korea, if we can get to number one, wow..."

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Our record was just released in Korea yesterday, and the data and sound sources are not very good. There is a big gap between us and other singers.

If we can promote the song again next week, we might have a chance to get first place."

The selection criteria for the popular music program Inkigayo is based on sales, music playback, and fan voting.

These things are all lacking for Fahrenheit at present.

After all, they had just appeared in the Korean market, had few fans and even little album sales data.

Even if the song is outstanding, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to win the first place when you first go on stage.

After all, several Korean music programs are fan-oriented programs.

When many fans vote, they basically only vote for their idols, even if the songs their idols sing are rubbish.
