Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 46 Mopping
"It's finally over. If I had signed for another two hours, I'm afraid my hand would have broken off."

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the last few fans left happily with autographs in hand.

Wu Zhuo and others just laid down on the table, and Wang Dadong rubbed his wrist and complained.

Wu Zhuo and the others had all taken breaks to varying degrees, but he was the only one who never stopped. He was signing almost the entire day and even ate directly on the table.

“Huozhuo, go ask Sister Huiying how many records she signed today.

If not ten thousand, it must be eight thousand!"

Calvin Chen pushed Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo stretched his body after sitting for a whole day, "Why didn't you say you signed a contract for 100,000 yuan and returned 10,000 yuan? Do you really think you are Jay Chou?"

Wu Zhuo made a rough estimate and concluded that he had signed about eight to nine hundred people today.

Jiro Wang may have even more, at least thousands.

But others signed far fewer.

On average, each person signed about six hundred to seven hundred dollars.

According to preliminary estimates, the total number of signings today will not exceed six thousand.

Sure enough, after a while Chen Huiying came over with a smile.

"Let me tell you about today's signing results. You signed a total of 5,300 CDs.

This is a very impressive achievement. If you keep up the good work, I believe that it won’t be long before you have a place in Taiwan’s entertainment industry.”

Chen Huiying was in a good mood.

First, the ratings of KO One exceeded expectations, and now the first-day signing data of the soundtrack is very good.

If this trend continues, in a year or so, the group Fahrenheit will become a cash cow for Tianxi and Komi.

As the agent of this group, if Fahrenheit's income is high, her income will also be high.

She couldn't help but feel excited when she thought about Fahrenheit becoming as popular as F4 in Asia and becoming a big money-maker.

"It's only five thousand three! I thought it would be ten thousand!"

Calvin Chen looked regretful.

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo looked at him with contempt.

“You probably don’t understand the current physical record market.

You should know that the record with the highest sales in Taiwan last year was Jay Chou's "Qilixiang", and the final annual sales volume was only 32.

This is the official sales data, and the actual sales volume may be lower.

Based on this data, the first-day signing sales of our soundtrack were over 5,000 copies.

This is actually a very remarkable statistic.”

"That's right!" Chen Huiying nodded. "The physical record market has shrunk dramatically in the past two years. In Taiwan, annual sales of over 100,000 copies are already considered hot records."

"So if that's the case, then singers won't be able to make any money, right?"

Wu Zun asked with a frown.

“No, physical records are not as popular as they were in the 1990s, but the ability of singers to make money has not diminished.

The rise of ringback tone business in the past two years and the emergence of online downloads have, to a certain extent, made up for the gap in physical records.

In addition, although the gradual popularization of the Internet has led to a greater number of pirated downloads, it has also allowed singers' works to be disseminated more widely and quickly, which has greatly accelerated the spread of our fame.

For us artistes, fame means money.

Although the revenue from record sales won’t be much, other aspects will bring us more revenue.

Concerts and commercial endorsements are the bulk of our revenue.”

Wu Zhuo has focused on understanding the market during this period and has a relatively good understanding of this aspect.

He then explained it to Wu Zun.

……

After leaving the autograph session, Wu Zhuo and others went straight back to Komi’s company dormitory.

Originally, Wu Chao and others wanted to find a place to celebrate the soundtrack's first-day sales of over 5,000.

But considering that there was still a lot of work to do tomorrow, they could only give up for the time being and go back to have a good rest. Early the next morning, Wu Zhuo, Jiro Wang, and Calvin Chen attended the KO One fan meeting held by the crew at Dongshan High School.

In terms of the number of people, this fan meeting definitely didn't have as many as yesterday.

After all, yesterday's autograph session was held in Ximending, which is the most crowded place in Taipei, and the school cannot compare to it.

But in terms of fan enthusiasm, the fan enthusiasm at the Dongshan High School fan meeting was even greater than yesterday.

Because the main theme of this fan meeting is to be down-to-earth, with the purpose of allowing the actors to have close contact with the fans, and there were no security guards to maintain order throughout the entire process, so from the very beginning of this fan meeting, the fans entered a stage of abnormal excitement.

As soon as Wu Chao and other main creators of Ultimate Class appeared, they were surrounded by students from the entire school.

Those who want autographs ask for autographs, and those who want photos ask for photos.

After the entire fan meeting, Wu Chao was almost exhausted.

How crazy are the students in these universities!

Just say it!
Wu Zhuo and the other two protagonists were fine when they entered.

When he came out again, his face was covered with lipstick, and Wu Zhuo didn't even know which female student had stolen his coat.

After coming out of Dongshan High School with great difficulty, Wu Chao and the other two headed straight to Taiwan Television.

They also have to record "Entertainment 100%" in the afternoon.

This is a "Ultimate Class Fan Party" with the theme of Ultimate Class.

In the car, Wu Zhuo couldn't help but complain out loud when he thought of the various groping behaviors of those fans just now.

"This is crazy! I won't dare come to school next time!"

"You're lucky, because the people around you who are taking advantage of you are all female students, but I'm miserable.

My butt still hurts. I don’t know which bastard kept pinching it.”

Jiro Wang rubbed his butt with an angry look on his face.

Wu Zhuo and Calvin Chen looked at each other, and Calvin Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It seems like your butt is very popular with boys."

At today's fan meeting, the people surrounding Jiro Wang the most were men.

They are all those vulgar gangsters with golden hair.

According to Wu Zhuo and Calvin Chen's speculation, the person who touched his butt was most likely a man.

When they thought of Jiro Wang being groped by a man, all the grievances that Wu Zhuo and Calvin Chen had just felt disappeared instantly.

"Damn it, could you two stop talking nonsense!"

When Wang Dongcheng thought about his butt being touched by a man, his face turned red and he was angry.

"Don't worry, we will never tell Tiffany Hsu about this.

Hahaha……"

Calvin Chen laughed and joked.

Upon hearing this, Jiro Wang's face turned even redder and he loudly retorted:

"Kevin, what nonsense are you talking about? I really have nothing to do with Tiffany Hsu."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhuo was the first to not believe it. He looked at Chen Yiru and asked:

"Kevin, do you think I have a chance if I pursue Tiffany Hsu?"

"I think you can. People on the Internet say that you are a girl killer. As long as you can show your charm, there will be great hope."

Calvin Chen said seriously, "Actually you can really try. Didn't Dadong say they are fine? You are not stealing your brother's girlfriend."

Jiro Wang: “…”

After a long silence, he finally said, "Actually, we are just trying to date each other. We don't know if it will work out."

"So, you admit that you have a relationship with her?"

Wu Zhuo had an amused look on his face.

Jiro Wang looked at the two bad guys speechlessly and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I just like her, so what!"
