Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 115 The Mainland King and Aaron Kwok appreciate each other
Zhou Ziheng didn't know that Aaron Kwok was going to follow his lead.

He only knew that "A Different Zhou Ziheng" sold very well after its publication.

Eleven thousand units were sold on the first day in Hong Kong.

Taiwan was even stronger, ranking first on the photo sales list that day with 23,000 sets sold.

The mainland is a little weaker, with 18,000 units sold.
Plus Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other places.

The sales of this photo album reached over 100,000 on the first day.

One hundred thousand sets, and this was before the official sale in Japan and South Korea, and before the sales explosion.

This data directly shocked the media that had previously predicted the pessimism of Zhou Ziheng.

They obviously didn't expect that Zhou Ziheng, who released a photo album for the first time, could achieve such results.

After learning about Zhou Ziheng's photo results, he fell silent.

Some media outlets that had originally intended to publish articles mocking Zhou Ziheng when his photo album performed poorly on the first day of release hurriedly revised their articles.

He did not mention a word about his previous ridicule of Zhou Ziheng.

Instead, he joined the ranks of those praising Zhou Ziheng.

Xiangjiang Entertainment is a good example.

They change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book.

The day before, he was still sarcastically saying that Zhou Ziheng had no self-awareness.

The next day, his attitude changed 180 degrees and he praised directly:

“This is a subversive photo album.

Zhou Ziheng has proved that in addition to achieving good results in record sales, he can also be successful in celebrity-related printing.

It is certain that this set of photos will put Zhou Ziheng among the top ranks in the fashion circle.

Aaron Kwok and Leon Lai have a rival now. "

Of course, there are also some stubborn ones.

That's what the yes newspaper is like.

Even though Zhou Ziheng's photo album has been released and achieved very good results, and has been recognized by many professionals.

Chen Youjian publicly stated that Zhou Ziheng's photo album was very groundbreaking and the best photo album he had seen in recent years.

According to Chen Youjian, Zhou Ziheng's photo shoot was not only a success, but the clothing, styling and makeup were also the pinnacle of the industry.

This is a set of photos that can be published in international fashion magazines.

Yes News seems to have not seen the sales of Zhou Ziheng's photo albums, nor seems to be unaware of the praise from Chen Youjian, a fashion tycoon who is one of the three major fashion designers in Hong Kong.

The next day's newspaper wrote directly:
"A set of sensational photos, claiming to be fashionable, is just for his own amusement. No one will like it except his loyal fans."

Yes, I have reported it.

That's what EMi thinks.

EMi had already warned Yes Newspaper not to target Zhou Ziheng.

Now the Yes newspaper is obviously targeting Zhou Ziheng again, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among EMi.

But before EMi could take any action.

The next day, someone spoke up for Zhou Ziheng.

More than one.

First up is Liming. Even though the New Year is almost here, he hasn’t stopped working.

This year, Mr. Gu Fangzuo from the mainland led the research and development of the "polio" sugar pill vaccine, but when the sugar pill was being promoted, it faced financial difficulties. At this time, Liming stepped forward.

He helped launch a project to eradicate polio in China in late 1993.

In addition to using all the proceeds from the concerts for fundraising, he also launched a "charity sale" with his fans.

At this time, the entire fundraising activity is in full swing.

On that day, Leon Lai changed his usual elegant style at the fundraising concert.

She appeared on stage with smoky makeup, causing the fans at the concert to scream loudly.

He just said this at the concert.

“I have a very talented friend who not only sings well but also has outstanding songwriting ability.

I thought that was it, but he gave me another surprise recently. His photo style shocked me. My stylist told me that this photo will definitely lead the trend. "

Before he could finish, the fans at the scene immediately cheered.

"Zhou Ziheng!"

"It's Zhou Ziheng!"

Hong Kong is so small, if every singer has different fans, I wonder how many people that would require.

In fact, there is a lot of overlap among fans in Hong Kong.

People who like Andy Lau may also like Leon Lai, and people who like Aaron Kwok may also like Jacky Cheung.

Similarly, those who like Zhou Ziheng will definitely like others as well.

Of course, because of the feud between Zhou Ziheng and Jacky Cheung, they quarreled to the sky.

The fans of the two of them are also clearly divided.

Those who like Jacky Cheung will never say it out loud even if they like Zhou Ziheng.

At the same time, those who like Zhou Ziheng more or less dislike Jacky Cheung.

However, Zhou Ziheng and Liming obviously do not conflict.

The friendship between the two has long been known to everyone.

That is why the overlap between the two’s fans is very high. Zhou Ziheng’s fans may not like Leon Lai, but they will definitely not hate him. The same goes for Leon Lai’s fans.

And among Leon Lai’s fans at the scene today, it is obvious that many of them like Zhou Ziheng.

So, when Li Ming mentioned a few words, they immediately guessed who he was talking about and shouted Zhou Ziheng's name loudly.

"Yes, it's Zhou Ziheng. You should have noticed that my makeup is similar to the one in Zhou Ziheng's new photo.

What do you think? "

Dawn asked loudly from the stage.

"It looks great! So handsome!"

"nice……"

Fans responded one after another.

Although Dawn did not launch a direct attack on the Yes newspaper.

But his actions at the concert were clearly the strongest support for Zhou Ziheng.

No matter how many words you say, it won't be as effective as showing up at the concert with Zhou Ziheng's makeup on and causing fans to scream and give "yes" a slap in the face.

And this was indeed the case. The next morning, news about Leon Lai's concert became a hot topic in the media.

The photo of him imitating Zhou Ziheng's makeup was featured on the front page of Ming Pao the next day.

Besides him, there is also Zhou Ziheng on the cover.

The two people's makeup is similar, giving people a very evil feeling.

Except for Dawn.

There was another person who not only EMi did not expect, but Zhou Ziheng himself did not expect either.

Aaron Kwok.

One of the four kings who is known as the king of fashion photography in the Chinese-speaking world directly spoke out in support of Zhou Ziheng.

At that time, Aaron Kwok was jogging in the morning and was caught by reporters.

So a reporter asked about the photo album "A Different Zhou Ziheng".

Reporters are the kind of people who like to watch the fun, no matter how big the event.

They all know that the photo shoot field is almost Aaron Kwok’s exclusive domain, and Andy Lau and Leon Lai are no match for him.

Now Zhou Ziheng suddenly rushed in.

If Aaron Kwok also directly belittled Zhou Ziheng like Jacky Cheung did.

That is definitely what reporters want to see most.

They wish the Four Heavenly Kings and big stars like Zhou Ziheng would fight every day.

Only in this way will they have no worries about selling their newspapers.

However, Aaron Kwok’s reaction was completely beyond their expectations.

In their original thinking.

Aaron Kwok would either ignore him directly or mock Zhou Ziheng with cold words.

But Aaron Kwok’s approach is completely different from what they think.

After hearing the reporter's questions, Aaron Kwok not only did not ignore them, but also did not mock Zhou Ziheng.

Instead, he directly praised:
“I’ve seen “A Different Zhou Ziheng” and I have to admit that this is definitely one of the best photo albums I’ve ever seen.

I really like the "Dark" series, which breaks my perception of photography.

It turns out that photos can be taken this way. As for whether I am jealous of Zhou Ziheng because of this, everyone is saying.

In fact, to be honest, when I see someone take such good photos, of course I will be jealous, but that doesn’t mean I will regard Zhou Ziheng as a stumbling block and an enemy. In fact, I admire him very much.

The photo album market, like the record market, does not rely on a single person.

People who buy photos have their own freedom. It is entirely up to them to decide whose photos they like.

Of course I hope everyone will buy my photos. After all, it can bring me profits.

But even if everyone likes other people's photos more, I won't give up on myself.

I really like what my agent Xiaomei said.

Other people’s success is their own success. If you cannot compare with others, there is only one reason, that is, you are not good enough.

At this time, jealousy will not help you, but you should work hard to improve yourself.

Therefore, I hope everyone will not sow discord between me and Mr. Zhou Ziheng.

Although I have never worked with him, I have nothing but respect for him.

I really hope his photo album will achieve very good results.”

I have to say, Aaron Kwok’s words were beautiful.

His remarks not only received collective applause from the media.

Even Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but feel a liking for Aaron Kwok after reading this news.

In fact, Zhou Ziheng didn’t hate Aaron Kwok, but he couldn’t say he liked him either.

In the past, when the Internet was popular, most celebrities were exposed.

No matter who it is, there are some scandals.

Zhou Ziheng was born in the 2000s. Except for a few people, he has basically no feelings towards these superstars from the 1980s and 1990s.

There's no way, we have little contact.

Zhou Ziheng knew a lot about their songs because he was a music student.

But most of them are old songs, and it is obviously unrealistic to like them just because of these songs.

Just like Jacky Cheung, the reason why Zhou Ziheng started to quarrel with him.

Except that he was the first to slander Zhou Ziheng.

Another reason is that Zhou Ziheng has no feelings for him.

Since he has no feelings for him, he naturally won’t care whether he is awesome or not, and he will criticize him if he needs to.

On the contrary, if Jacky Cheung was replaced by Andy Lau.

Maybe Zhou Ziheng really won't criticize.

Because Andy Lau was a superstar that I liked very much in my previous life.

Just because of this liking, he might stop criticizing for the time being, and might even go talk to Andy Lau in person.

As for Aaron Kwok, Zhou Ziheng originally had no feelings for him.

But what Aaron Kwok said this time directly improved Zhou Ziheng's impression of him a lot.

No matter if he was just pretending to be nice and saying it just to please the reporters.

Still sincere.

Praise is praise.

Just like making a donation.

No matter how celebrities publicize how much they donated, it is donation, and it is real money.

It’s much better than the guy who dances happily without making any donations!
At present, Zhou Ziheng is very popular in Hong Kong.

But his situation was actually very strange.

He now looks very similar to Wang Jie back then.

He is very popular, but this circle does not actually accept him.

Originally, with the sales of his two albums, if it were a Hong Konger.

I'm afraid he has already been praised to the sky.

Maybe, the Four Heavenly Kings will have to be rearranged.

As a result, because he is from the mainland, although the media likes to report on him, they never praise him. Instead, they keep dwelling on his scandals.

After all, it’s because he is not one of them.

Aaron Kwok was praised by the entire Hong Kong community when they were collectively silent, as if by not saying anything they could forget his achievements.

Even if it was just a compliment, it was quite impressive to Zhou Ziheng.

Therefore, Zhou Ziheng did not let Aaron Kwok’s praise go in vain.

On the 8th, when he was interviewed by a Beijing media, he specifically said:

“Actually, I quite like Aaron Kwok, and I listened to his album Wild City, which was released in January, several times.

I am currently preparing for a concert! I think Aaron Kwok’s concert is the model for me to follow.

I'm not famous for dancing though.

But I am willing to learn dance just to give my fans a passionate and perfect concert.

At present, I have contacted a dance team, and I have collaborated with Aaron Kwok on this stage before.

I really liked Aaron Kwok’s concert at Hung Hom last year. The atmosphere was so hot.

So, I contacted this dance troupe on purpose.”

Zhou Ziheng spoke in a very normal manner.

But everyone knew as soon as they heard it that this was a compliment to Aaron Kwok!

To put it bluntly, "Aaron Kwok's concerts are great, and that's something I need to learn from. I like him very much."

The interview soon spread to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Because it concerns two kings.

Well, Zhou Ziheng is also a superstar, he is a superstar in mainland China.

So the media took it very seriously and gave it such a title.

"The Mainland King and Aaron Kwok have a mutual admiration for each other"

The content is:

“Recently, Aaron Kwok and mainland superstar Zhou Ziheng praised each other highly.

Aaron Kwok believes that Zhou Ziheng's photo album has created a new trend.

Zhou Ziheng thinks Aaron Kwok’s concert is the best in Asia, and the thing he looks forward to most is watching a concert of Aaron Kwok.

The two of them sympathized with each other and acted like good brothers.

It is said that after Jacky Cheung found out about this, he smashed three televisions and didn’t eat for two days.”

Zhou Ziheng didn’t know whether Jacky Cheung smashed the TV or not, or whether he had eaten.

But he knew that this person must be feeling bad.

Because the latest week's Hong Kong Dragon and Tiger sales chart has been announced.

In recent weeks, sales of "Fairy Tale" have begun to decline sharply.

Taking advantage of Zhou Ziheng's absence from Hong Kong, Jacky Cheung launched a massive round of publicity, hoping to suppress "Fairy Tale" in Hong Kong and bring it back to Hong Kong.

The performance of "Blessing" in the past two weeks has indeed shown a significant increase.

But unfortunately, when the new week's Dragon and Tiger sales chart was announced, the sales of "Blessing" increased significantly, while the sales of "Fairy Tale" decreased significantly.

But "Fairy Tale" once again surpassed "Blessing" and ranked second on this week's Dragon and Tiger Chart.

The first one is "Wild City" released by Aaron Kwok in January.

This is Aaron Kwok's best album in the past two years.

As a result, Aaron Kwok transformed his style from a pure male dancer to a mature wild man.

The album received widespread acclaim upon its release.

Not only that, the sales volume also broke Aaron Kwok’s sales record in the past two years.

Although "Fairy Tale" and "Blessing" were able to suppress "Wild City" in January.

But by February, the two albums had been released for a long time and were surpassed by "Wild City".

Although surpassed by "Wild City", Jacky Cheung was not discouraged.

But "Fairy Tale" is still weighing on my head.

Moreover, Zhou Ziheng hasn’t promoted for a long time.

How could this not make Jacky Cheung angry?

You know, this album of his has never been ranked first on the Dragon and Tiger Chart!
He is a great singer and his song "Blessing" is of very good quality, but he didn't get first place.

If it were Zhou Ziheng, he would also be angry.
