Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 80: On-the-spot Creation
As we all know, companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan like to use the media to ban artists.

The Four Heavenly Kings and Four Heavenly Queens of Hong Kong in the 1990s, the Four Little Heavenly Kings and Four Heavenly Kings of Taiwan, etc.

This is still the case in the new century. Recently, Wang Xinling, Rainie Yang, Angela Zhang, and Jolin Tsai have been grouped together as the four great leaders.

Cyndi Wang - the sweetheart queen.

Rainie Yang——the adorable queen.

Angela Chang - the queen of electric eyes.

Jolin Tsai - the queen of pop.

And Fahrenheit was also given a title.

One of the top boy bands in Asia.

Yes, Fahrenheit, which has just released an album, has already been given such a title.

In fact, Wu Zhuo and other members of the group all know what this title means.

This is a title marketed by Huayan’s mainland partner, Gold Typhoon Entertainment.

But the experience gained by Hong Kong and Taiwan over the years is still useful.

Although Fahrenheit is actually a group that has just become popular, it cannot be called the top boy band in Asia.

But under this marketing method, the effect is really not small.

With this kind of hype, the album "Fahrenheit" is becoming more and more popular in mainland China.

Whenever the four members of Fahrenheit hold a book signing event in a new place, it always causes a certain sensation.

The number of fans attending almost every show was sold out.

……

4 month 17 number.

Magic City.

The propaganda of Wu Zhuo and others came here.

However, the signing event was held yesterday, and the purpose of Wu Chao and others today is to participate in an exclusive interview with "Eastern Billboard".

"Only Have Feelings for You" won the championship at the "Eastern Billboard" last week, hence this exclusive interview with the champion.

It is worth mentioning here that there are many charts in the mainland, and each region and TV station basically has its own music chart.

Guangdong has the Voice of Music chart, Shanghai has the Eastern Billboard chart, CCTV has the Chinese pop songs chart...others include the Music Billboard chart, the Jade Solid Gold chart, and so on.

At present, "Only Feelings for You" and "Super Style" have different rankings in different charts. Some of them directly won the first place in "Eastern Billboard", while others did not even make it to the list.

"That's amazing! If this momentum continues, our album will really reach a million sales, right?"

Before the interview began, Wu Chao and others were waiting backstage.

Jiro Wang was shouting while holding a newspaper that contained last week’s mainland sales rankings.

"Let me see!"

Fahrenheit has not received the sales data from the company yet, and Wu Chao is also very curious about the sales of "Fahrenheit" in mainland China last week.

Jiro Wang handed the newspaper over, and Wu Chao turned directly to the Hong Kong and Taiwan charts.

In order to distinguish between mainland singers and singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the mainland sales ranking list is divided into the mainland list and the Hong Kong and Taiwan list.

44684th place: Rainie Yang, "Meeting Love" copies↑ SONYBMG
Fifth place: Cyndi With U by Wang Xinling, 49347 copies↑Avex Records
Fourth place: Guangliang "Promise" 55067 copies → Seed Music
Third place: Fahrenheit "Fahrenheit" 56135 copies↑ Huayan Records
Second place: Zhang Huimei's "I Want to Be Happy" 57280 copies↑Warner Records
First place: JJ Lin's "Cao Cao" 60195 copies↑Ocean Butterflies Music (this week's national sales champion).

This week's sales of "Fahrenheit" were nearly 10,000 copies higher than last week, ranking third.

It has to be said that the data explosion in the mainland may not be as big as that in Taiwan, but the market stability and size have surpassed Hong Kong and Taiwan, becoming the number one market in the Chinese-speaking region.

In Taiwan, because the place is so small, after a wave of publicity, everyone will know about it, and then the record sales will see a huge explosion in the first week.

But after this week, the data in the following weeks will fall sharply.

On the contrary, it is different in the mainland. The vast territory may make the publicity effect a little worse, but one region alone can contribute sales of more than 100,000 or 200,000.

All provinces combined make the mainland market huge and stable. JJ Lin's "Cao Cao" was released in the mainland in March. It has been four weeks now, and the data has not only not dropped, but has continued to rise.

Wu Zhuo analyzed the current situation and said, "Looking at this momentum, if we work harder, we might be able to grab first place for a week or two."

This album of Fahrenheit is only in its second week and has huge potential. If it is promoted properly, it may really take the first place from JJ Lin.

It’s a shame to say this, because JJ Lin’s "Cao Cao" has been very popular in mainland China recently.

When Huayan and Gold Typhoon were formulating their publicity strategies, they mentioned "Cao Cao".

In some news reports, you can see words like this from time to time:
"In Taiwan Province, Fahrenheit has overtaken JJ Lin and their strong attack has put JJ Lin out of the running for first place."

Recently, because of this kind of news, members of Fahrenheit were often asked about their opinions on JJ Lin's "Cao Cao" when they were interviewed by mainland media.

The same is true for today's "Eastern Billboard".

"Actually, these are two different types of records! Fans can buy the album they like according to their own preferences."

Wu Zhuo replied.

Although the company was trying to scam people, Wu Chao and others couldn't do it.

It’s best for them not to express their opinions casually.

If one thing goes wrong, it will cause conflicts between the fans of both sides.

It might even offend JJ Lin.

So Wu Zhuo responded with a sentence that would not offend anyone.

“We heard that “Only Have Feelings for You” was written by you, Wu Zhuo, is there any story behind it?

When Hu Yanbin came to our show last time, we talked about the issue of creation, and he said that most of his songs were inspired by his own personal experiences. "

The host of the interview with Wu Zhuo and others on Fengyunbang is Li Ke, a well-known radio host on Shanghai TV.

He also served as the live host at the just-concluded Eastern Billboard Awards Ceremony.

“I’m similar to him. I’ll use my own experiences, but I’ll also use other people’s experiences and stories. Inspiration is something that’s hard to predict.

Sometimes, without warning, we might be talking about a topic, and I suddenly think that a certain point in the topic might be useful for creation, and then I’ll add it to the song.”

Wu Zhuo's words seemed a bit pretentious, but if he wanted to market himself as a creative talent, he had to do so.

In later generations, Jay Chou has already achieved success and fame. He has to pretend to have absolute pitch in The Voice of China, so it is not excessive for him to pretend to have it now.

"Can you demonstrate it live? I heard that you represent winter in the group. How about you improvise a short piece about winter on the spot?"

Li Ke felt that Wu Zhuo was a little pretentious.

I got inspiration without any warning, who am I kidding!
However, although he asked Wu Zhuo to create something on the spur of the moment, he did not make things too difficult for him. He only asked him to create a short piece, which was also a chance for him to perform.

After all, just before the recording session, Fahrenheit's agent asked him to emphasize Wu Chao's creative ability.

Their agent has already said so, so I am not being deliberately difficult, right?
Wu Zhuo was stunned. He didn't expect that the host would take it so seriously.

But he was not afraid and asked, "Can you add some more elements? Winter is too monotonous."

"Then add two more elements to make it warmer!" Li Ke smiled.

Winter is cold, but I want to give you another one to keep you warm.

You are so awesome, let’s see how you pretend.

"Do you want to keep warm in winter?" Wu Zhuo frowned.

He felt that the host was making things difficult for him.

but……

"Kevin, give me the guitar."

In winter, we still need warmth. It doesn’t necessarily have to be warmth. The warmth of love is also warmth.

He already has an idea.
