Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 209: people? Or people?
A five-star hotel in Tokyo.

As soon as Wu Zhuo's car arrived, Murata, the head of Sony who had been waiting here in advance, came to greet him.

"Mr. Murata, I haven't seen you for a few months. You look more energetic. It seems you have good news to tell me."

"Haha! Yes, Wu Zhuojun, this is great news for me. I have been promoted."

"Of course, what's more important is that your career has taken another step forward, Wu Zhuojun."

"Everyone in Japan knows that there is a Chinese artist who is extremely popular in Japan now."

"You don't know, I've received many calls from well-known brands, all wanting to talk to you about endorsements."

Murata really looked like he was in high spirits because of the good news.

He started talking a lot as soon as he opened his mouth, and Wu Zhuo couldn't get a word in.

"This is the result of our joint efforts. Mr. Murata, you have made an indelible contribution to my current achievements in Japan."

Wu Zhuo had contact with Murata several times and they had a good relationship.

Murata was the first person within Sony to discover Wu Chao's potential and insisted on working closely with Wu Chao.

For Wu Chao's previous two solo albums, he secured a lot of publicity and other resources for Wu Chao.

Of course, Wu Zhuo also gave him good rewards.

The huge success of "Welcome to BJ" earned him a direct promotion.

The sales of "Thank You" this time are as amazing as ever, and it may bring great benefits to Murata within Sony again.

The two of them complement each other.

Wu Chao needs Murata's connections and resources in Japan, and Murata needs a popular singer like Wu Chao to help him climb up within Sony.

“Wu Zhuojun, this is Miss Naka Yumi, she will be personally responsible for your affairs in Japan from now on.

Of course, this doesn't mean that I am no longer responsible for you.

But now that I have been promoted, many on-site affairs will be handed over to her.

I will also personally take care of other matters related to the album’s promotion.”

After greeting Wu Zhuo, Murata introduced a woman behind him who was dressed a little more maturely to Wu Zhuo.

Perhaps worried that Wu Zhuo would look down on Zhong Yumei, Murata specifically said:

“Ms. Mii has been working at Sony Records for many years and has always been a good partner of mine.

Many of your and Fahrenheit's promotional strategies in Japan came from her.

She is very good at marketing and has good connections, which can help you have better activities in Japan.

By the way, the director of the company's issuance department may be retiring. At that time, regardless of whether I can take over the position of director or not, Ms. Mii will be promoted to deputy director."

Hearing this, Wu Chao couldn't help but look at Zhong Yumei with a new respect.

There are cases of women holding high positions in the Japanese workplace, but the number is much smaller than in China.

This Yumi Naka was able to be promoted to deputy minister at the age of around 30.

Either you have a background or you have outstanding abilities.

Both of these things are beneficial to Wu Zhuo.

"Ms. Mijing, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Wu Zhuo shook hands with Naka Yumi, who was very enthusiastic towards him. "Wu Zhuo-kun, just call me Annie. I am very happy to be the person in charge of your activities in Japan."

Enter the hotel room.

Wu Chao first asked his team members to check the hotel and only entered after confirming that there were no problems.

Next, Wu Chao learned from Naka Yumi about some of his itinerary and activities in Japan this time.

Two music shows, a radio interview, four autograph sessions, and a fan meeting with 10,000 people at Saitama Super Arena. The word Arena is not a name, but a metaphor.

In Japan, there are countless venues of all sizes.

These venues are often named with the words "Door", "Arena" or "Hol".

This is a symbol of scale.

Simply put, it is the difference in the purpose, scale and number of people that can be accommodated in the venue.

"Dome" refers to a dome, which is usually the venue for baseball games. In Japan, where professional baseball is flourishing, it is not only in the capital of Japan, Tokyo.

There are also venues in many other important cities, each of which can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators.

"Arena" refers to a large sports stadium, which is generally used as a venue for various sports events. It is smaller than a dome, but can still accommodate about 1 spectators.

"Hall" refers to a concert hall, which is mostly a performance venue for classical orchestras and can accommodate about 3 to 5 spectators. Sometimes, the local civic center or district center is also used as a hall's touring venue.

Among these three venues, the dome can accommodate the largest number of people and has the most imposing scene. Relatively speaking, although the hall does not have the wide space to create a gorgeous and dazzling stage like the other two venues, it has the closest sense of distance from the audience.

Currently, the largest venues in Japan are five domes: Tokyo Dome, Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Yahuoku Dome in Fukuoka, Nagoya Dome, and Sapporo Dome in Hokkaido.

The capacity of these five domes is over 50,000 people.

Compared with the five domes, Saitama Super Arena is obviously far behind.

But the scale of this venue is not small.

It can accommodate up to 19000 to 22500 seats.

It is even larger than the Taipei Arena.

Considering that Wu Zhuo has only released two solo singles, the scale of the fan meeting held here is actually not small.

And, most importantly, this fan meeting is semi-concert in nature, and tickets will be sold.

Of course, the ticket price is definitely much lower than that of a real concert.

This fan meeting is actually a test.

The organizer of Fahrenheit's concerts in Japan was handed over to Sony.

So far, Sony has not confirmed the venues where the two concerts will be held.

This time, Wu Zhuo’s personal fan meeting is a test.

If Wu Zhuo could fill up the seats at Saitama Super Arena.

Well, there is no doubt that Sony will directly apply for the five major domes for Fahrenheit's concert venues in Japan.

On the contrary, if the attendance rate does not reach a certain level.

By converting the popularity ratio of Wu Chao in Fahrenheit, Sony can have a fairly accurate understanding of the attendance of Fahrenheit's concerts, and the venue to be arranged at that time may be a venue like Saitama Super Arena.

So, to a certain extent, Wu Chao's task is very difficult.

After Calvin Chen, Jiro Wang and others learned of Sony's intention.

They all said:
"You have to work hard! These are the five largest domes in Japan! No singer from China has ever performed there.

If we could be here, it would be a historic moment.

Whether we can perform on it depends on you."

Wu Zhuo didn't think anything of it until these guys called him.

After hearing what they said, Wu Zhuo was completely overwhelmed.

I'm quite worried that the ticket sales for this personal fan meeting will not be ideal.

For this purpose, he even secretly ran to the ticket office to check the situation.
