Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 159: Reigning at the Top of Japan's Sales Chart
In February, just a few days after the Spring Festival, Zhou Ziheng took a short break and continued to work.

[Zhou Ziheng] This album is selling like hot cakes, so it is impossible for Zhou Ziheng to just sit around doing nothing.

As I mentioned before, book signing events are often held by distributors.

They buy a large number of records and are afraid of wasting money, so when placing an order they usually sign some terms with the record company asking the singer to help hold autograph sessions to sell the records.

[Zhou Ziheng] This album encountered a lot of such situations.

In the global atmosphere, whether in Asia or Europe and the United States, a large number of distributors have requested Zhou Ziheng to attend signing events.

Of course, Zhou Ziheng would not be able to attend this kind of signing event for free. Generally, the organizer would pay a certain amount of appearance fee for each event.

Because there were so many shows and the scope was so wide, covering almost half of the globe, Zhou Ziheng immediately started holding a book signing event after finishing his domestic one.

The autograph sessions in Asia are mainly concentrated in Japan. There is no other way because this is the main market for Zhou Ziheng's album in Asia.

It’s true that the world’s second largest record market is not an exaggeration.

In addition, Zhou Ziheng himself is an Asian, although he is Chinese next door, but the Japanese are even more fond of his album than the United States and other places.

In the second week of its release in Japan, sales in Japan reached 380,000 copies, ranking first among all regions in the world where this album was released.

Even more than the United States by 20,000.

Therefore, Japan became the first stop of Zhou Ziheng's autograph session.

He will hold a total of five autograph sessions in Japan before returning to Hong Kong and Taiwan.

On February 6, Zhou Ziheng landed in Japan.

As soon as he landed, he felt the enthusiasm of Japanese fans.

"Onii-chan, I love you!"

"Ah ah ah..."

"Zihengjun, I love you, and I am willing to marry you to China."

"Ziheng-kun, welcome to Japan, we all like you very much!"

Girls in cool short skirts filled the space outside the airport exit.

They held up various specially printed welcome messages in Chinese.

When they saw Zhou Ziheng coming out of the passage, they immediately crowded over excitedly.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"so hot……"

Various screams came together, attracting other people in the airport to look over here frequently.

"Who is that?" When Ichiro Omoto saw the scene over there, he was immediately shocked and asked a passerby nearby in confusion.

"You don't even know him? Chinese superstar Zhou Ziheng, the pride of Asia.

The album sales in Europe and America surpassed Michael Jackson, and it has topped the sales chart in Japan for five consecutive weeks. "

The person next to him was obviously familiar with Zhou Ziheng. He squinted his eyes, as if despising him for not even knowing such a big star.

Seeing this man's look, Ichiro Omoto was speechless.

It's just a celebrity! Do what you can.

“Thank you for your support, please don’t crowd.”

Zhou Ziheng greeted the fans in somewhat awkward Japanese, and while comforting them, he took out a pen and signed autographs for these fans.

His Japanese is not very good, and it was only in recent years that he hired a Japanese teacher for the sake of development.

But because he is too busy, even though he has good talent and has learned most of it, it still finds it difficult to pronounce.

Actually, being a celebrity is not that easy.

Especially international superstars.

There is a saying called something.

Do as the locals do.

Foreigners who come to China to make money have to learn some Chinese. Zhou Ziheng is no exception.

Needless to say, Zhou Ziheng already knows English.

He also had to learn other languages ​​such as Japanese, Korean, German, etc.

I don't have to speak fluently, but at least I can say a few sentences on my own.

It’s no wonder that mastering a few languages ​​to deal with local media and fans is very effective.

Last time in Korea, Zhou Ziheng said a few weird Korean words to thank his fans.

It really excited the local fans for a long time.

Even the media were widely publicizing that Zhou Ziheng respected the Korean nation.

One could almost say that he is a member of the Korean nation.

"Onii-chan, this is a gift I prepared for you, please accept it."

"Me too, me too!"

Most of Zhou Ziheng's fans are students.

They are seventeen or eighteen years old, young and beautiful.

Some people gave Zhou Ziheng the lunch boxes he had prepared himself, some gave him towels and other things.

Some people even took nude photos of themselves, wrote their contact information and address on them, and handed them to Zhou Ziheng openly.

Zhou Ziheng also likes beautiful women.

But he has no interest in sleeping with fans.

Normal communication is fine.

If he just wanted to have sex with his fans, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Wu Qian was too unrestrained in this regard and ended up having to work on a sewing machine.

Even Patrick Tam almost died in his later years because he was slandered for sleeping with his fans.

Therefore, Zhou Ziheng is very resistant to sleeping fans.

After leaving the airport, the Japanese organizer had already sent a car over. Zhou Ziheng and his group quickly got in the car and rushed to the hotel they had booked.

His time in Japan was actually very tight. In addition to the book signing event, he also had to attend two TV interviews.

In addition, he was invited by Sony to endorse their new Walkman, which was released this year, and needed to shoot an advertisement.

In addition, he received many invitations from the Japanese fashion circle that he could not refuse.

There is no way around it. Zhou Ziheng first became famous in Japan through his photo albums.

Although he did not release any new photo albums afterwards, he is still very famous in the Japanese fashion circle due to the pioneering nature of his first set of photos.

In addition, in the past two months, in addition to the huge sales of his records in Japan, his record-related posters have also been selling very well.

The album covers taken during the MV shooting were made into peripheral records by EMi for sale.

Sales volume currently ranks second in Japan, second only to the most popular Japanese star Takuya Kimura.

[The Light of Asia Zhou Ziheng continued to top the Japanese album sales chart last week. This is his fourth consecutive week at the top. It is reported that the total sales of Zhou Ziheng's album in Japan have reached 1.2 million, second only to the United States]

【Takuya Kimura created 83 billion yen in economic benefits last year. The Kimura effect continues to be popular and is expected to exceed billion this year】

[Akina Nakamori was reported to have committed suicide again]

[ZARD band's new album is about to hit the market, experts predict that this will be another million-level album]

In the car, Zhou Ziheng flipped through the newspaper on the seat.

The organizers were quite considerate and specially prepared entertainment reports.

After reading a few articles, apart from himself, the other headlines were all about current big stars in Japan.

Looking at the weak appearance of Akina Nakamori in the newspaper, and then looking at Kondo Masahiko who was used for comparison and was hugging a beautiful woman next to her, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help shaking his head.
