Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 151 He wants to compete, please put up the stakes

After learning that Zhou Ziheng's English album was about to be released, the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan immediately realized that the news was coming.

On that day, the media split into three groups.

Along the way, he interviewed artists who disliked Zhou Ziheng.

We went straight to Guangzhou to interview Zhou Ziheng.

The last part was to keep an eye on Zhou Ziheng’s English records.

Dicky Cheung was the first person to be interviewed by reporters.

"Mr. Dicky Cheung, what do you think about Mr. Chow Tze-Heng's upcoming English album?"

When he heard the name Zhou Ziheng, Dicky Cheung's expression turned visibly ugly.

Ever since he had a feud with Zhou Ziheng, he hasn't received any acting jobs for several months.

Needless to say, TVB has confirmed that they will not contact him.

The same is true for movies. Without Wong Jing's support, it is obvious that his resources have been reduced.

He himself was not capable of carrying the box office, and after Wong Jing stopped supporting him, Fat Cat immediately used his connections to ban him.

Plus Zhou Ziheng.

It can be said that he can hardly take a single step in Hong Kong now.

In fact, he also regretted why he had spoken so loudly and offended Zhou Ziheng.

But he hated it even more.

He hated Zhou Ziheng for unreasonably mobilizing resources to ban him.

Therefore, when he heard the reporter's questions, he did not hide his disgust for Zhou Ziheng.

"How do I watch it? I sit and watch, and I lose blood watching his records.

I would be happy if he went bankrupt because of this record!"

“That may disappoint you, but even if this album fails, Zhou Ziheng will definitely not be affected too much.

According to our investigation, even if his English album loses a lot of money, his next Chinese album will still be popular with many fans.”

The reporter was of course very excited about Zhang Weijian's almost curse-like remarks, but he still gave a timely reminder.

……

On the other hand, Zhou Ziheng's old friend Jacky Cheung was also found by reporters and asked similar questions.

Jacky Cheung actually didn’t want to answer.

In fact, he no longer wanted to get entangled with Zhou Ziheng.

As the two of them were entangled for a longer time, the words they said to each other actually had no effect.

After hearing this, the other party basically ignored it as if it was nothing.

He didn't expect that his remarks would cause trouble for Zhou Ziheng.

But he is going to release a record soon.

In comparison, Zhou Ziheng has not made any moves since releasing an album "Fairy Tale" in December last year.

Jacky Cheung continues to be highly productive this year.

In May, he released the Cantonese album "Fatal Fury", which achieved very good results in the Cantonese market and had a very good reputation.

In August, he released another Mandarin album "Stealing Hearts".

This album, along with "Goodbye Kiss" and "Blessings", are known as his Mandarin trilogy.

Although the sales of "Stealing Hearts" are much lower than those of "Goodbye Kiss" and "Blessings".

But overall, his performance this year is still very good, and can be considered a steady increase.

As the year draws to a close, PolyGram strikes while the iron is hot and continues to produce "Leon This Winter" for him.

The album is scheduled to be released in December.

Plus, he's currently on tour in full swing.

He really needs heat now.

For him, what should he do to gain popularity?

After two years of analysis by him and PolyGram.

If you want to attract attention, you have to criticize Zhou Ziheng.

Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that although Zhou Ziheng is annoying, he is very popular.

In particular, his feud with himself has almost become a program that the audience enjoys watching.

If either himself or Zhou Ziheng attacks the other.

Needless to say, the next day's headlines in Hong Kong media have already been booked in advance. Because of the high popularity, Jacky Cheung would find opportunities to criticize Zhou Ziheng when releasing albums, and would also make some sarcastic remarks at concerts.

Now, even his and Zhou Ziheng’s fans have noticed something.

In May, he attacked Zhou Ziheng, and then Fatal Fury was released.

In August, when Zhou Ziheng was about to release an English album, he took the opportunity to mock it, and then "Stealing Hearts" was released.

Now that "This Winter Is Not Too Cold" is about to be released, it would be unacceptable if I didn't say a few words about it.

So, he said directly:

"A friend of mine at EMi Records told me that EMi was not optimistic about his album.

So, I concluded that this record would not sell well. "

After a pause, he said: "My book "This Winter Is Not Too Cold" will also be released in December.

This is the third time I have encountered his album in the same period.

Although this time it is an English record.

But I still have to say that sales are king, he has the ability to surpass me in sales!"

……

Zhou Ziheng saw the interview report of Dicky Cheung and Jacky Cheung.

He didn't even bother to pay attention to Dicky Cheung.

This guy is now fighting like a trapped beast, and he has no manners at all when speaking, just like a shrew scolding in the street.

Now, if Zhou Ziheng gave him some feedback, it might actually bring him some popularity.

He wouldn't give him a chance.

It was an interview with Jacky Cheung.

The more Zhou Ziheng looked at it, the weirder it seemed.

This guy is actually advertising.

Advertising for "This Winter Is Not Too Cold".

“Jacky Cheung’s PR team is very good.

You know that if Jacky Cheung makes any extreme remarks, everyone's attention will be drawn to the words that criticize you.

On the contrary, this blatant provocation is more likely to draw the audience's attention to his records.

Now, everyone knows that he wants to compete with your English album in sales of "Leon".

Without spending a penny, the exposure directly occupied most of the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan."

Florence Hui analyzed for Zhou Ziheng.

“He’s so confident about his new album?”

Zhou Ziheng’s thoughts were turning.

He knows a lot of songs in Jacky Cheung's albums, but this song "This Winter Is Not Too Cold" seems to be very ordinary in his impression.

"It doesn't matter whether the quality is good or not. For him, he has already lost to you twice in sales, so it doesn't matter if he loses again.

Moreover, your English album is now the focus of the Chinese music scene, and everyone wants to know whether you will be driven back to Europe and the United States in disgrace.

The fact that you are copying your English album has attracted a lot of attention in itself.

On the contrary, if the sales data can exceed your English album, PolyGram will obviously promote it vigorously in the future.

With the help of higher sales than yours, Jacky Cheung’s name will become more famous.

Anyway, you won’t lose money no matter what.”

"His calculations are loud and clear, but unfortunately, he is destined to be trampled under my feet."

Zhou Ziheng sneered.

However, if Jacky Cheung wants to get in touch with him, he may be able to use him to increase the exposure of his English albums.

There is still a certain English market in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other places.

It won't do him any harm if he can contribute an album.

So, he responded directly to Jacky Cheung’s remarks the next day.

"Since I beat him twice, I'll beat him a third time.

If he wants to compete with me in sales, that’s fine. Let him do it.

However, there is no point in just talking about it.

If he has the courage, he can make a bet."
