Huayu: The Unbelievable Matching Mechanism of Jay Chou's Love Songs

"Damn it!"

"Chai Zhiping, that shameless filthy thing! Here she is!"

Inside the stadium, shouts of profanity filled the air. Interestingly, Feng Zheng was singing "Meteor Shower" with the other F3 members on stage at the time, but as they listened, some fans suddenly felt something was off…

"Why can't I hear Feng Zheng's voice again?!"

"No, wait!"

"Have you no shame?!"

"Ganlin is brewing, but I'm so anxious I could break up!!!"

……

Yes, that's right. As fans listened, they realized that Feng Zheng's voice was not among the four members of F4 singing together.

Feng Zheng opened his mouth and made lip movements, but no one could hear his voice.

Feng Zheng's voice is actually very distinctive, which is especially evident after his new album became a hit. Everyone is listening to his new album songs recently, and everyone knows exactly how he pronounces words and sings. So, the F4 members quickly realized that Feng Zheng's voice was not in the songs they sang together.

then……

This generation of fans is even more furious!

Even more explosive!

"Is there no sound???"

When she heard the fans' increasingly angry shouts and curses, Chai Zhiping didn't say anything. However, her assistant instinctively picked up a walkie-talkie and asked the relevant personnel in charge at the scene:

"Is Feng Zheng's microphone not working? How could that be!"

Because she saw Feng Zheng's mouth open inside the machine, she even suspected that the equipment was malfunctioning, but she never suspected that it was Feng Zheng's doing on purpose!

"This...we don't know either..." The person in charge replied, looking bewildered as they examined the equipment. "No, it clearly shows everything is normal. We checked it many times during rehearsals, and we even specifically adjusted it before going on stage. How could there be no sound?"

"you……"

The assistant was so angry that he wanted to confront them and ask what they were doing.

But before he could even open his mouth and say anything, Chai Zhiping interrupted him, saying, "Don't say anything, it's not their problem."

"?"

The assistant paused, glanced at Chai Zhiping, and then followed Chai Zhiping's gaze to look at Feng Zheng below the stage...

"hiss……"

The assistant gasped, his eyes widening in disbelief, and asked, "You mean... Feng Zheng did this on purpose?"

"Otherwise what?"

Chai Zhiping gritted her teeth, her lips twitching, and said, "He dares to not wear the sponsor's clothes, so how could he not deliberately lip-sync without making a sound?!"

"Lip-syncing" is a term that became popular in later generations but is not so common in this era.

Specifically, it refers to the behavior of playing backing tracks while lip-syncing without actually singing.

Artists of this era are generally of high moral character and artistic talent, especially singers. Very few dare to lip-sync. Of course, this is also thanks to the audience's "seriousness." These days, if someone is caught lip-syncing, some people will actually take off their shoes and throw the soles at the person on stage in the face.

Feng Zheng's "lip-syncing" is different from traditional "lip-syncing." Traditional "lip-syncing" involves vocals in the accompaniment, so the singer only needs to lip-sync, making it difficult to detect...

Feng Zheng's version is one where there's no vocals in the accompaniment; he just opens his mouth without making a sound, and everyone notices immediately.

And this is precisely Feng Zheng's "purpose".

To put it bluntly, he deliberately made sure everyone found out!

Everyone noticed he opened his mouth, but no one could hear his voice...

At that time, the fans who were indignant because Feng Zheng was "differentially treated" again did not think that Feng Zheng was "lip-syncing". They only thought that Feng Zheng was "forced to mute" again, just like in the last concert!

to be honest!

It's deliberately manipulating the audience's emotions!

"What is he doing!"

Realizing this, the assistant was furious and couldn't help but shout, "Are they deliberately retaliating against us?! An eye for an eye?!"

That's true...

I still remember that at the last concert, Feng Zheng not only had no costume and was muted, but even the lighting was not kind enough to stop Chai Zhiping from shining a single beam of light.

Damn it, once the stage lights dimmed, no one could find Feng Zheng anywhere!

Sure!

Didn't they say they wouldn't provide clothing?

Wasn't it supposed to be muted?

Now that you've given it to us, we still want it!

Now I don't need you to force me to mute anymore. Even if you turn your microphones on, I won't make a sound!

Let's see who can get the better of whom!

Putting everything else aside, Feng Zheng's "disgusting" act was truly effective, leaving Chai Zhiping and her entire team fuming with anger.

Afterwards, if nothing unexpected happens, these angry fans will definitely rant about them on TV and on the front page of major entertainment news outlets!

At the very least, they've lost all face.

"Bang!"

Chai Zhiping clenched her fist in anger and slammed it hard on the table. Her resentful gaze pierced through the glass and the air, landing precisely on Feng Zheng, who was "playing the victim" on the stage.

"Ring ring..."

The phone rang throughout the room. The assistant took it out, glanced at it, and said to Chai Zhiping with a look of utter exasperation, "Sister Chai, it's the sponsor calling. What do we do?"

They had expected the sponsors to "settle scores" with them later, but they didn't expect them to do it so quickly!

It seems that someone from the sponsors was on-site keeping an eye on things.

Chai Zhiping was no newcomer to the industry, and she naturally had special methods for special situations, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't rush, let me make a phone call."

After saying that, she walked to the side, took out her phone, and dialed Wu Zongxian's number.

Wu Zongxian seemed to be socializing and was quite drunk. Chai Zhiping originally wanted to ask him what was going on, but when she heard his nonchalant and unreliable tone, she became furious and couldn't help but question him directly:

"Feng Zheng isn't wearing his performance outfit now, the microphone is working but he's not singing. Brother Xian, we had a deal, everything's in the past, isn't it? Is this what you promised me?!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zongxian sobered up considerably: "Feng Zheng... he... he?!"

Although Wu Zongxian had not explicitly discussed the matter of putting aside past grievances with Feng Zheng regarding the F4 concert, he had probed Feng Zheng's attitude when arranging related work.

In Wu Zongxian's eyes, Feng Zheng has always been an extremely intelligent person. Signing a contract with "copyright protection clauses" with their company and signing a profit-sharing contract with "Meteor Garden" are representative examples of his achievements.

Wu Zongxian believed that Feng Zheng should know that cooperating with Chai Zhiping was the only way to maximize his profits...

As it turned out, Feng Zheng did indeed demonstrate a high degree of "cooperation" in all rehearsals, just as he had expected.

Everyone thought he was a young man who had become famous overnight and was mentally unstable.

But now, Feng Zheng's actions are like a bucket of cold water poured over Wu Zongxian and Chai Zhiping's heads.

This just goes to show how important communication is!

So what should they do now?

How can we quell Feng Zheng's anger?
