Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 162: Izumi Sakai goes to a book signing event to get autographs

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Zhou Ziheng clearly felt that when he sent Sakai Izumi home, her mood suddenly became less cheerful.

It was as if I had offended her in some way.

Zhou Ziheng didn't know how to ask her about this, so he could only attribute it to the fact that he might have said something wrong just now.

It took Zhou Ziheng half an hour to send Izumi Sakai back, and then he went home.

"Mr. Zhou, was that Miss Izumi Sakai just now?"

On the way back, the driver couldn't help but ask Zhou Ziheng.

"Yes." Zhou Ziheng did not deny it.

There is nothing to deny. Nothing happened between him and Izumi Sakai. He was just sending someone back. This is very common in the entertainment industry.

Moreover, EMi was able to send this person to be his driver.

Of course, it is impossible to just send a loudmouth over.

What is the most important thing in the entertainment industry?
Of course it’s kept secret.

Once you enter this industry, you will more or less get to know some of the secrets of certain people in the circle.

These things are not something that can be said casually.

There are some things you can hear and know, but you can't tell them to others.

I said, I am cutting myself off from this circle.

Just like Zhou Ziheng, the Hong Kong and Taiwan media privately gave him the nickname "Poisonous Tongue Zhou Ziheng", referring to the fact that he always criticizes people at every turn.

However, in fact, unless he is offended, he generally will not talk about other people's privacy.

Doesn't he know other people's privacy?

That's obviously impossible.

Although he didn't spend much time in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he had heard a lot of rumors about other artists.

For example, when God of Gamblers was filming a kissing scene, even the director kept yelling.

For example, a married male star has several mistresses outside.

In a word, once you enter this industry, you will definitely learn a lot of inside information that you didn’t know before.

However, you have to have a scale in your heart to know what you can say and what you cannot say.

"I am so lucky. Not only can I get close to an international superstar like you, Zhou-san, but I can also meet a national singer like Izumi Sakai."

The driver exclaimed excitedly.

"You're a driver at EMi, so you must have seen a lot of big stars! Haven't you seen Izumi Sakai?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng was a little confused.

Although this guy mentioned it, it was obvious that this guy was not excited about himself, but about meeting Izumi Sakai.

“Mr. Zhou, you don’t know that Miss Quanshui is not easy to meet.

She rarely appears on TV shows and has only held two concerts, and she did so while wearing a mask.

She is the most mysterious singer in Japan, and we Japanese are proud to meet her."

The driver explained.

Zhou Ziheng had heard of this.

When I was browsing TikTok in my previous life, bloggers would often add a sentence when mentioning Izumi Sakai, "She only showed up seven times in her life."

This statement is definitely exaggerated and one-sided.

But in fact, Izumi Sakai seems to rarely appear in front of the media.

As for the reason, there are all kinds of speculations, and Zhou Ziheng doesn't know why.

"That means I'm lucky too. I just came to Japan and I met the most mysterious singer in your country and had a good chat with her."

Although Zhou Ziheng said this, he was actually thinking, "I am awesome. The national singer that you guys want to meet but can't, is not only my fan, but she also took the initiative to talk to me."

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, Zhou Ziheng was picked up early by the record wholesaler in Tokyo and arrived at the signing event.

The venue is Ginza Square in Tokyo, which is a bustling commercial district in Tokyo. A large number of people gather here every day. Holding it here can attract more people. And it is indeed the case.

When Zhou Ziheng arrived at the scene, thousands of people had already gathered in the square.

Crowds of people lined up, first buying records at the record sales area next to it, and then queuing up with the records to join the autograph line.

After Zhou Ziheng arrived, he did not start signing immediately.

Instead, he first went on a stage temporarily built by the organizer, sang two songs, and then started signing autographs.

The two songs sung by Zhou Ziheng are "Everybody" and "Straight Through My Heart (Main Version)".

Both of these songs are of very good quality in Zhou Ziheng's English album.

But its popularity has never been as high as "As Long As You Love Me" and "I Want It That Way".

Therefore, unless the organizer specifically asks him to sing the two most popular songs, Zhou Ziheng will generally choose to sing less popular songs, mainly for the purpose of promotion.

Although the songs they sang are the two most popular songs in Japan.

But these two songs are actually very good.

Therefore, the fans were not dissatisfied.

Instead, they cheered loudly to support Zhou Ziheng when he was singing.

Japanese people are indeed more aggressive in chasing stars than those in mainland China or even Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The fans present almost never stopped cheering throughout the entire show.

Whenever Zhou Ziheng waved in a certain direction, the fans in that direction would often make heart-wrenching noises.

The crazy sound made Zhou Ziheng worry that these fans would scream their throats out.

At nine o'clock, the book signing event officially began.

One after another, fans came up with records to ask Zhou Ziheng for autographs.

Because there were so many people, in order to avoid some fans not being able to get Zhou Ziheng's autograph, Zhou Ziheng's side specifically asked each fan to only sign one autograph.

This largely avoids those who want to make money using Zhou Ziheng's signature.

This kind of thing has actually happened before.

This situation occurred when "Fairy Tale" held a book signing event in Taiwan last year.

At that time, Zhou Ziheng did not consider this issue, so there was no prohibition on how many tickets a person could sign.

The result was that some people sold dozens of tickets at one time and had them all signed by Zhou Ziheng.

What’s even more disgusting is that within a few days, these guys took those autographs and started selling them outside.

The price is quite expensive, directly asking for over NT$10,000.

What does tens of thousands of Taiwan dollars mean?
Converted into RMB, it is almost equivalent to two thousand.

A shabby autograph is sold for two thousand RMB, and there are still people buying it.

Zhou Ziheng certainly would not reject fans buying his autograph collection at a high price.

What he dislikes are those who get his autographs in the name of fans and make a profit from it.

These guys are no different from scalpers and are what singers hate the most.

Because of the previous experience, this time Zhou Ziheng directly stipulated that one person can only sign one card.

Even if you bought 10,000 records, you can only sign one at this signing event.

"Thank you for your support. Do you want me to write a congratulatory message?"

Another fan came up to him, and Zhou Ziheng raised his head with his signature smile.

"Miss Izumizu?"

Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Izumi Sakai actually came to his book signing event and lined up with thousands of people to get an autograph.

How much do you like him?

"Ziheng-kun, nice to meet you again." Izumi Sakai raised her eyebrows mischievously.
