Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 110 Dragon and Tiger Brothers
Although Zhou Ziheng felt a little uncomfortable because someone was following him.

But it is undeniable that Wanwan’s fans gave him great healing.

Every morning when he came out of the hotel, he could see many of his fans waiting at the hotel entrance.

Zhou Ziheng didn't know how long they had been waiting.

But as soon as Zhou Ziheng came out, there was immediate and enthusiastic cheering from the audience.

In addition to the fans, there were also many Taiwanese media waiting here all night.

As soon as he came out, I caught him for an interview.

To be honest, this was something that neither Zhou Ziheng nor EMi Records had expected.

It is not surprising that Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have caused a sensation in the mainland and are surrounded by reporters and fans wherever they go.

But Zhou Ziheng, a mainland star, was able to make the media and fans wait at the hotel entrance all night on Wanwan.

This is definitely an unprecedented first time.

In the past two years, mainland rock music has also had a considerable influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Like the Black Panther band, their records also sold very well in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

But they were still unknown after coming to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Among the mainland stars, only Jet Li has great appeal in Taiwan.

This place has almost become his voting base.

His movies are just average on the Hong Kong box office charts, but they always become very popular in Singapore, Taiwan and other places.

At this time, Zhou Ziheng was a bit like the music version of Jet Li.

The war of words and the battle for record sales with Jacky Cheung made everyone see that his strength is not inferior to the Four Heavenly Kings.

The songs in the album are widely circulated in Taiwan and almost everyone sings them.

All of these things made him extremely popular as soon as he arrived in Taiwan.

To a certain extent, he is really as popular as the Taiwanese media said, and his popularity is no less than the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although Zhou Ziheng always looked down on the Four Heavenly Kings when he argued with Jacky Cheung.

But even he had to admit in his heart that the Four Heavenly Kings of this period were really powerful.

Although they started out by singing covers.

But in terms of popularity and traffic, it is extremely popular in the Chinese-speaking regions, and even in the whole of Asia.

It is so extremely popular. It is obviously something to be extremely proud of that Zhou Ziheng, who has just debuted for less than two years, can match the popularity.

Because he became very popular in Taiwan, many Taiwanese media wanted to take advantage of Zhou Ziheng's popularity.

As a result, a large number of TV and variety show invitations fell into Zhou Ziheng's hands.

Among them is Taiwan’s most popular variety show "Dragon Tiger Brothers".

There is a saying that.

Listen to Japanese music for Asian music and watch Taiwanese variety shows.

This statement is actually not an exaggeration at all.

In the 1990s, Taiwan was regarded as the global production base for variety shows.

The variety shows produced here are some of the best in the world.

It would be strange if Wanwan didn’t win any major awards in the annual global variety show awards.

Among Wanwan’s many variety shows, "Dragon Tiger Brothers" is the most popular and interesting.

Don’t be fooled by the many popular variety shows in mainland China in later generations. In fact, many of these shows were inspired by "Dragon Tiger Brothers".

For example, "Happy Camp", "Day Day Up" and so on.

Zhou Ziheng himself is actually quite looking forward to this variety show.

Several friends he met in Hong Kong have appeared on "Dragon Tiger Brothers".

According to them, the show is not only fun but also comfortable.

What does comfortable mean?

In fact, it means that the host of this program treats the guests very well and will make you feel comfortable recording the program.

Several of Zhou Ziheng's friends spoke highly of Zhang Fei.

They said he was the one that made them feel most comfortable among all the variety shows they had participated in.

December 25th.

Zhou Ziheng finished the book signing event in Kaohsiung and participated in the recording of "Dragon Tiger Brothers" after returning.

"Dragon Tiger Brothers" was first broadcast in March this year. It is a semi-interview variety show and has been ranked first in Taiwan's variety show ratings since its launch.

Although it has only been on the air for less than a year, the program team has already invited a large number of celebrities to attend.

Almost all the Four Heavenly Kings have been there, and even mainland CCTV host Ni Ping and others have been there.

"Dragon Tiger Brothers" is a recorded broadcast program.

Recorded at noon and broadcast in the evening.

When Zhou Ziheng rushed to the entrance of TTV, he happened to meet another guest who would be on stage with him today.

Takeshi Kaneshiro.

One of Wanwan's four little kings and one of Wanwan's top ten idols this year.

Don’t think that the Four Little Heavenly Kings are inferior to the Four Heavenly Kings just because there is a “小字” in their name.

In fact, in a certain sense, on Taiwan's side, the Four Little Heavenly Kings may be more popular than the Four Heavenly Kings.

Whenever these four people go out in Taiwan, there will be a large number of paparazzi and fans chasing them.

The reason why it is named after the Four Little Heavenly Kings.

The main reason is that these four people are young, all born in the 1970s.

Besides, Hong Kong has already named the Four Heavenly Kings the Four Heavenly Kings, so we can’t give them another name called the Wanwan Four Heavenly Kings.

Moreover, these four people have little experience. If they are really named the Four Heavenly Kings, they will inevitably offend the old seniors in Taiwan.

"Wu, I love you! Ahhhh!"

"Takeshi Kaneshiro, you're the coolest."

"Zhou Ziheng, we like you!"

Many fans gathered at the entrance of TTV.

There were two groups of people in total, one was Takeshi Kaneshiro's fans, and the other was Zhou Ziheng's fans.

The ratio of people.

Probably June 4th!
Takeshi Kaneshiro 6th, Zhou Ziheng 4th.

After all, it's someone else's territory, so it's normal that it's more popular than others.

Just like in mainland China, if Zhou Ziheng attended an event with the Four Heavenly Kings at this time, most of the fans in the audience would be his.

Many people think that as long as the work is good, it can gain attention in other regions.

This is not necessarily accurate.

Everyone has biases.

When a foreign star and a Chinese star attend an event together, the Chinese will naturally support the star from their own country.

If it's two Chinese stars, then the decision will naturally be based on preference and region.

"Thank you! Thank you for your support!"

After Zhou Ziheng got off the car, he greeted the fans warmly, took photos with them and signed autographs.

When he came out from the fan crowd, Takeshi Kaneshiro had already entered the TTV building.

Although this guy also dealt with his fans, he was very cool.

It can even be said that it was a bit perfunctory and just dealt with casually.

After greeting the fans, Zhou Ziheng walked towards the TTV building.

A staff member had been waiting for him, and as soon as he entered, he was led to the recording hall.

Backstage in the studio, Zhou Ziheng met Zhang Fei who was highly praised by Leon Lai and others.

"Mr. Zhou, we are glad to have you on our show.

This is our script, take a look at it, if there are any unacceptable issues, please tell me in advance and we will modify it immediately. "

Very polite, this was Zhou Ziheng's first impression.

After reading the script, Zhou Ziheng felt that the production team was very good at dealing with people.

Not only does the entire script outline not contain any sensitive issues, it also contains many clips that deliberately elevate him.

Afterwards, Zhou Ziheng got to know several other hosts of the program team.

Fei Yuqing, Zhang Fei's younger brother.

Note, he is my biological brother.

These two are really brothers, they just have different stage names.

As for this person, Zhou Ziheng's impression of him is not only the song he sang "Yi Jian Mei", but also his nickname "Wang Yu Yao".

In the previous life, you could often see jokes about him on TikTok. He loved to play with allegorical sayings, such as "Five hundred women running naked on the beach" and "If I were your current boyfriend, what would I call your ex?"

These jokes actually come from the interview of "Dragon Tiger Brothers".

There are still a lot of people in the "Dragon Tiger Brothers" program crew.

Except for the two brothers Zhang Fei and Fei Yuqing.

There are also Huang An, Wu Zongxian and others.

It has to be said that Zhang Fei is considered the big brother of the Taiwanese entertainment industry.

Huang An, Wu Zongxian and other people who would have a prominent position in Taiwan's entertainment circle in the future were all following Zhang Fei at this time.

Even though Huang An had already released "New Butterfly Dream" at this time.

In addition to communicating and getting to know several hosts.

Zhou Ziheng also greeted Takeshi Kaneshiro.

However, Zhou Ziheng could tell that this person was very introverted.

He is a taciturn person similar to Tony Leung Chiu-wai.

The kind that even if you say ten sentences to him, he won't reply to you even once.

It's tiring to chat with him.

So, Zhou Ziheng simply stopped talking to him and talked to Fei Yuqing instead.

It's interesting to chat with the King of Filth.

A dirty joke will pop up for you out of the blue, which can really relax you.

However, it was only after joining the show that Zhou Ziheng realized that the King of Dirty Monsters doesn’t actually tell dirty jokes to everyone.

He will find out what level the guests can accept before the show starts. If they cannot accept it, he will give up on playing such jokes. Only if you agree will he play such jokes on the show.

Zhou Ziheng doesn't care about this kind of jokes.

As long as it's not directed at him or deliberately insulting him, he won't care.

Although he is considered an idol, he is only half an idol.

He is very similar to Jacky Cheung.

It’s mainly the works that speak for themselves.

Unlike Aaron Kwok and Leon Lai, they have a heavy image as idols and feel hesitant when participating in the show.

The program recording begins.

The program team asked Zhou Ziheng and Takeshi Kaneshiro to each choose one of their representative works to sing.

As for Zhou Ziheng, he has so many representative works that I don’t know which one to choose.

The songs from his two albums are very popular here.

So he randomly picked the song "Courage".

But Takeshi Kaneshiro chose the song "Say Good Night to You".

Zhou Ziheng had never heard of it.

It was not until Florence Hui explained that I realized this was a song from Takeshi Kaneshiro's upcoming new album. It has already performed very well on all major charts and even threatened the championship of "Fairy Tale".

"Dragon Tiger Brothers" can actually be considered a music program.

So it’s not surprising that Takeshi Kaneshiro sings a new song here.

The only thing that made Zhou Ziheng a little strange was that since his song could threaten "Fairy Tale", it should obviously be an awesome song.

But Zhou Ziheng searched his memory and seemed to have no recollection of a song that could rival "Fairy Tale".

I didn't think about this question any more. After the show started, Zhou Ziheng was the first to perform "Courage"

The atmosphere was quite lively.

Although the audience are all actors selected by the program team.

But when Zhou Ziheng was singing, the actors in the audience actually sang along.

The singing was so intense that Zhou Ziheng felt like he was attending a fan meeting.

After Zhou Ziheng came on stage and finished singing, Takeshi Kaneshiro came on stage and sang his song "Saying Goodnight to You".

Compared to when Zhou Ziheng sang, there were people singing along.

This person's singing was a bit dull.

Although the audience was cheering, many of them seemed to have never heard of this song.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziheng vaguely understood something.

He said that since this song could threaten "Fairy Tale" on the Taiwan charts, it was impossible for him not to have heard of it.

It turns out that it was a ranking manipulation.

These days, it is very common to manipulate the charts.

When Zhou Ziheng's "Fairy Tale" was released, EMi asked if he wanted to give it a try, but Zhou Ziheng refused.

Obviously, the fact that Takeshi Kaneshiro's song can threaten "Fairy Tale" is mostly due to lies.

I heard that his company is Fook Long Company, the same company that first discovered Aaron Kwok.

The owner of this company is Ge Fuhong.

This person is very famous in Taiwan and is a big boss of CTS. Most of the variety shows of CTS are produced by her.

With this person's connections, it would be easy for him to help Takeshi Kaneshiro to improve his statistics.

After the two guests came on stage, Zhang Fei and Fei Yuqing came on stage again and started to interrupt and make trouble.

Zhou Ziheng had to admit that these two were really good at controlling the situation.

Various topics come up at once, and jokes come one after another.

Zhou Ziheng was a little embarrassed at first, but under their influence, he began to tell jokes from later times in a relaxed mood, which made the audience laugh.

Moreover, these two brothers are very good at highlighting the excellence of the guests.

They were just as Li Ming told Zhou Ziheng.

Respecting the guests to the utmost will allow the guests to show their best side on the stage.

In comparison, Zhou Ziheng's participation in Zhang Xiaoyan's show two days ago was simply a torture.

Zhang Xiaoyan is very famous in Taiwan and is also a giant in the interview industry.

It’s just that Zhou Ziheng didn’t like her interview very much.

She always likes to ask Zhou Ziheng all kinds of tricky questions.

After an interview, she kept asking Zhou Ziheng about the feud between him and Jacky Cheung.

I'll ask him later what he hates about Jacky Cheung.

Then he made fun of him for not respecting his seniors.

During that interview, Zhou Ziheng once wanted to end it early.

In comparison, Zhang Fei in "Dragon Tiger Brothers" never raises these issues.

Zhang Fei has a very high emotional intelligence.

When he asked a question, he would frequently look at Zhou Ziheng's expression.

When Zhou Ziheng's tone became a little serious, he immediately understood that Zhou Ziheng didn't like this question and would automatically lead the topic to other directions.

The recording of the program, which lasted more than an hour, ended quickly.

After the show, Zhou Ziheng exchanged numbers with Zhang Fei and Fei Yuqing.

Fei Yuqing joked that he would call him next time he came to the mainland.

Zhang Fei said that Zhou Ziheng can come to their "Dragon Tiger Brothers" again when promoting his new album next time.

Zhou Ziheng naturally agreed readily.

……

That night, "Dragon Tiger Brothers" was broadcast.

Takeshi Kaneshiro and Zhou Ziheng, two very popular figures on Taiwan, attended the event together, which really attracted a lot of interest from the audience.

It is said that the ratings of "Dragon Tiger Brothers" on that day became the highest in the past two months, only slightly lower than the one with Andy Lau a few months ago.

In fact, this is normal.

What can I say about Andy Lau!

He looks more like a cheater than the ones who cheat.

You can say that you are a better actor than him and have more box office appeal than him.

You can also say that you sing better than him and your record sales are better.

But when it comes to popularity, this guy is totally cheating.

Almost all age groups like him.

To be honest, Zhou Ziheng admitted that he couldn't do these things at the moment.
