Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 179 Popularity Scared Sun Nan

In mid-May, Wu Chao produced "Sword Soul".

At the same time, he took another leave.

The last time I took leave was to record the Olympic songs.

This time, it’s publicity.

The Olympic Organizing Committee will release the first batch of songs about the Olympics on the official Olympic website on the 19th.

"Welcome to BJ" is also among them.

This is different from other singers who sing promotional songs and promote them domestically.

Considering that Wu Zhuo's song is an English song.

At the same time, he enjoys considerable popularity in Japan and South Korea abroad.

When this song was first released in the country, the Olympic Organizing Committee also made it into a single and prepared to release it in Japan and South Korea.

As for the domestic aspect, it actually doesn’t matter whether the singers show up to promote the event or not.

No other company in the country has more publicity channels than the Olympic Organizing Committee.

But Japan and South Korea are different.

The organizing committee does not have distribution channels in Japan and South Korea.

Therefore, the organizing committee teamed up with local record companies to promote and distribute the album.

And asked Wu Zhuo to help promote it.

Yes, help.

From the moment Wu Zhuo handed the song over to the country, the song no longer belonged to Wu Zhuo.

It belongs to the state.

Wu Chao won’t make as much money as him.

So, according to convention, Wu Chao has no obligation to promote it.

But are you really not going?

Those who don't help are fools.

Although Wu Zhuo worked for free.

But the benefits this brought to Wu Zhuo were greater than tens of millions of dollars.

The biggest benefit is that it can make Wu Zhuo a singer supported by CCTV.

There are also examples in this regard.

That’s Leehom Wang.

Perhaps in terms of status in the music industry, Wang Leehom cannot compare to Jay Chou.

But in the eyes of CCTV, I'm afraid ten Jay Chous can't compare to Leehom Wang.

If CCTV were asked to choose between these two singers, 100% without a doubt, CCTV would choose Wang Leehom.

why?
Since Wang Leehom made his debut and became famous in mainland China, whenever CCTV invites him to any large-scale event, he will basically never miss it and will work without complaint and for free.

And Jaylen...

You rarely see him appear.

And the benefit that Wang Leehom's actions brought him was.

When he got into a scandal that was enough to get him listed as a bad artist, the authorities remained silent.

After the impact of the incident had almost passed, CCTV's mother directly supported him and allowed him to return to the CCTV stage...

So, for Wu Zhuo.

He was actually happy to be able to help for free.

After receiving a call from the organizing committee, Wu Chao immediately asked for leave from the crew and flew to Japan.

This is different from the low-key travel we have been choosing to do domestically during this period.

The purpose of coming to Japan this time is for publicity.

Therefore, Wu Chao is very high-profile.

While he was still in China, he called Sony Records, the distributor of "Welcome to BJ", and asked them to promote the album in Japan.

Well, it's Sony again.

There is no way, Sony is the most powerful in Japan.

In addition, Sony has reached a consensus with Huayan that all records of Fahrenheit and its members released in Japan will be handed over to them.

Therefore, it is only natural that the distribution in Japan is handed over to Sony. As I said before, Sony's influence in Japan is unquestionable.

With Sony's promotion, the news that Fahrenheit member Wu Chao would come to Japan to promote his new song was featured on the covers of major Japanese media in just one day.

"New song by Fahrenheit member Wu Zhuo"

"As the Beijing Olympics approaches, members of Fahrenheit are singing songs to support the event."

After much publicity, Wu Chao landed in Japan at noon on the 19th. The scene he saw was a sea of ​​people.

"Onii-chan, auntie is cleaning the railway!"

"Abel, Auntie is washing the railway..."

"Ah ah ah..."

Screams and shouts exploded the moment Wu Zhuo walked out of the airport.

"Oh my god! There are too many people!"

Wu Chao is not the only artist on this trip to Japan, there are others as well.

Single album record.

In Japan and South Korea, singles have always been very popular and are also the most cost-effective way to record records.

And although it's called a single, it's not really just one song.

Generally it consists of three or more songs.

The same is true for the single album "Welcome to BJ".

The main song is undoubtedly "Welcome to BJ" sung by Wu Zhuo, even the name of the single album is it.

But there are two other songs included in it, one is "Forever Friends" sung by Sun Nan and Li Wen,
Another song is "Wishing Star", sung by Huang Dawei.

The singers of these two songs did not miss the opportunity to promote their albums in Japan.

To be honest, let’s not talk about whether they give face to the authorities or not.

The fact that their album can be released in Japan, South Korea and other places is a very rare opportunity for them.

Because, who can be sure that they won’t become popular in Japan, South Korea and other places?
After all, didn’t Fahrenheit become popular in Japan and Korea with just one album?

So, several people came along.

Originally, Sun Nan was dissatisfied with the order from his superiors to let Wu Chao be the main force in this publicity.

He is a first-line figure in the mainland, the great Brother Sun, and everyone who sees him calls him Brother Nan.

It would be strange if he could accept the fact that he was playing a supporting role to Wu Zhuo.

Of course, he also heard that the band Fahrenheit, where Wu Zhuo was, was very popular in Japan and South Korea.

But he always thought it was just media hype.

After all, the domestic media is just that kind of person. No matter how many rubbish awards a domestic singer wins abroad that no one has ever heard of, they will exaggerate them to the sky.

Moreover, stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan are the best at operations. Even though they are just a few kittens and puppies in Japan and South Korea, they can be blown up into Asian superstars.

Then, when he walked out of the airport gate and saw the dense crowds of fans at the door, Sun Nan couldn't help but exclaimed.

The others also gasped and looked at Wu Chao in disbelief.

“Onii-chan… ahhhh…”

Before Wu Zhuo could say anything, the fans at the door saw Wu Zhuo.

In an instant, everyone screamed loudly and rushed towards this side frantically.

Seeing this, the dozen or so bodyguards brought by Wu Zhuo rushed forward to protect Wu Zhuo and his companions.

"I always thought these dozen bodyguards were just for show, but I didn't expect..."

Sun Nan leaned towards his agent Luo Jiahui, his face flushed, he was ashamed.

"I've told you long ago that Wu Zhuo is not an ordinary person. If the authorities dare to employ him, they must have thoroughly investigated him, but you just don't believe it."

As Luo Jiahui walked, she glanced at Wu Chao, whose every wave caused the surrounding Japanese fans to scream and shout wildly, and whispered:
"My friend in the organizing committee told me that the reason why the organizing committee wanted to release this single was because of Wu Zhuo."

Hearing this, Sun Nan's face darkened, "You mean we are just making up the numbers?"

“That’s about it. in the country, you are indeed seniors, with higher qualifications and status in the music industry than him.

But abroad, his influence is unmatched by you.

Look at these crazy fans.

It’s hard to imagine how crazy the scene would be if all four members of Fahrenheit showed up together.”
