Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 137 Hot in Thailand
The news that Zhou Ziheng held a concert in the rain and tens of thousands of people watched it became the hottest news in Taiwan and even in the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan region in the next two days.

Its popularity is almost as great as Alan Tam's stadium concert in Hong Kong in late April.

Indeed, the number of people attending Zhou Ziheng's concert cannot be compared with Alan Tam's.

But don’t you see who Alan Tam is? He was the most popular singer in the 1980s.

When Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung were competing for supremacy, fans of Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung almost divided the world of Hong Kong equally.

Whether in the eyes of peers or fans, he is synonymous with popularity.

Even though he is semi-retired now, his influence and status in the music industry are still there.

Zhou Ziheng is different. He debuted only a short time ago. At most, his first album was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan only one year ago.

If he had not made his debut in mainland China as early as 1992, he could even be considered a newcomer now.

For a newcomer, his fan base is so loyal.

Not only does his record sales lead everyone else, he also holds concerts for tens of thousands of people one after another.

Moreover, tens of thousands of people braved the rain to watch the concert, which is an amazing achievement.

Fans are also human beings, and they will weigh the pros and cons.

We all know that continuing to watch a concert when it rains may cause you to catch a cold or get sick.

But these fans chose to watch the concert in the rain without hesitation.

This is absolutely amazing.

Therefore, when the concert ended, Zhou Ziheng became completely famous on Taiwan.

He was on the covers of all major media newspapers, and his fans were frantically buying up his concert tickets in order to see his subsequent concerts.

Obviously, all the tickets for his next three Wanwan concerts have been sold out.

But Wanwan’s fans completely ignored it and frantically tried to find a ticket for Zhou Ziheng’s concert.

The ordinary tickets, which originally cost less than 100 yuan, were driven up to a sky-high price of more than 800 yuan per ticket by scalpers in the next few days.

Many fans who originally did not buy tickets regretted not buying them earlier after learning about what happened in the first show.

Moreover, the concert organizers in Taiwan became famous after Zhou Ziheng’s first concert became a hit.

He immediately found Zhou Ziheng.

He was even willing to make certain concessions on the share of concert ticket sales, hoping that Zhou Ziheng would temporarily add two more concerts on Wanwan.

What happened to Zhou Ziheng in Wanwan was also reported back to the mainland through the media.

In response to this, many mainland media outlets expressed their admiration and said that Zhou Ziheng brought honor to mainland singers.

Even the People's Daily used a small article on the same day to introduce Zhou Ziheng's concert in Wanwan.

“A few days ago, my mainland singer Zhou Ziheng held a concert in Wanwan. That night, it rained heavily and the water level rose by two meters, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans at all.

Tens of thousands of people accompanied Zhou Ziheng in the rain for two hours.

Zhou Ziheng is a famous singer in my country, a member of the Music Association Creator Association, and a member of the Music Association. He..."

Although this is just an ordinary praise article.

But the significance is extraordinary.

It represents that even the People's Daily is proud of Zhou Ziheng's achievements abroad and believes that he has brought honor to the mainland.

What’s more important is that Zhou Ziheng’s application to join the Music Association was originally scheduled to be approved in the second half of the year.

As soon as the People's Daily spoke, the Music Association immediately announced that Zhou Ziheng had passed the review and officially became a member of the Guangdong Music Association and the China Music Association.

Even the Music Creation Association gave him the title of vice president.

To be honest, even Zhou Ziheng didn't expect that a concert could have such a big impact.

It actually made his popularity in the Chinese-speaking regions skyrocket.

Influence and popularity are rising in a straight line.

The next few concerts of Wanwan were all sold out.

Zhou Ziheng took this opportunity to achieve an achievement in Wanwan.

The first mainland singer to hold a concert for 10,000 people in Taiwan, the first mainland singer to hold four consecutive concerts for 10,000 people in Taiwan, and the first non-local singer to hold four consecutive concerts in Taiwan. Yes, Zhou Ziheng is the first person to hold four consecutive concerts for 10,000 people in Taiwan.

This achievement is something that even Michael Jackson, let alone the Four Heavenly Kings, has never achieved.

He held a concert in Taiwan last year, but it was only one show.

Zhou Ziheng was even more powerful than him. He played four games and every one of them was sold out.

Therefore, some people in the Taiwanese media even said that Zhou Ziheng is more popular in Taiwan than Michael Jackson is in Taiwan.

After Wanwan’s concert, Zhou Ziheng didn’t stay long and immediately flew to Thailand.

As one of the younger brothers in ancient China.

Thailand is definitely the country with the largest Chinese population among its neighboring countries.

In Thailand as a whole, Chinese people account for nearly 25 percent, only less than the Thai people who account for 35 percent.

Therefore, Chinese culture is prevalent in Thailand.

In addition, the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s were the most glorious period for Hong Kong films.

Therefore, actors and singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan have a very considerable influence here.

Even Thai movies at this time directly used Hong Kong as an object of imitation.

Many of Thailand's future famous actors or behind-the-scenes staff, such as Tony Jaa, started filming Thai Kung Fu films because they were influenced by Hong Kong films.

Even in the early 2000s, if you watched Thai kung fu movies, you could still see many influences of Hong Kong action movies, including the shooting methods and even the action direction.

Of course, it's not just Thailand.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong action movies were world-famous.

Hollywood?
When it comes to action movies, Hollywood can't even compare to Hong Kong movies.

The reason why Hong Kong films were able to make money during this period was because Hong Kong action films had become famous and had a market all over the world.

In countries like Smecta, movie fans may not even know much about their own country's movie stars, but they know Hong Kong stars thoroughly.

Many netizens in later generations often only said that someone from Hong Kong was very popular in South Korea and other places during the 1980s and 1990s.

this is correct.

But it’s not entirely correct.

Because there are not just one or two Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who are popular in these places at this time.

But a lot.

Take South Korea for example, there are Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Joey Wong, Brigitte Lin and the Four Heavenly Kings.

If any one of them goes to South Korea, they will cause a huge crowd to flock to the streets.

without any exaggeration.

Whenever a Hong Kong star comes here for a visit, the treatment he receives is exactly the same as that of Hollywood stars who come to China in later generations.

At this time, Thailand's economy was still very good and it was one of the four Asian tigers.

I also yearn for Hong Kong and Taiwan culture.

As the saying goes, those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.

Zhou Ziheng himself also took advantage of the different treatment that Hong Kong and Taiwan stars receive in Thailand, and his album sold very well in Thailand after its release.

On June 5th, Zhou Ziheng landed in Thailand.

As soon as you land, you can feel how popular Chinese stars are here.

These people all regard him as a Hong Kong star.

As soon as we got off the plane, hundreds of people crowded at the airport gate to greet us.

Some of these Thai fans were holding his photos.

Some held album posters.

Some people even took the movie poster of "The New Hard Times".
