Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 265: Journey to the East

The epoch-making group is indeed very popular in the Chinese-speaking regions.

Zhou Ziheng’s most intuitive experience was the autograph session held in Taipei on the 20th.

On that day, a total of more than 10,000 people attended the signing event.

Zhou Ziheng and others' hands were sore from signing.

At last count, the number of records sold through signings alone reached 23,000.

And this is just the beginning.

Throughout June, Zhou Ziheng and others traveled to seven or eight regions to promote the record.

Wherever he goes, he will inevitably cause a stir in the local area.

Men, women, young and old, almost all of them were attracted by Zhou Ziheng and his group.

The time came to July.

This epoch-making album sold more than five million copies in just three weeks, becoming the most popular album of the year.

Almost everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"It's not a sin for a man to cry, cry..."

This song really resonated with many men and was regarded as a song that belonged to men.

In August, the epoch-making sales exceeded 8 million, becoming the second-highest album in the Chinese music scene after Love Story Under the Stars according to official statistical methods.

Also in August, the extremely popular epoch-making group dispersed again, and the members went to do their own work.

Zhou Ziheng also withdrew from the epoch-making group and began to participate in the promotion of "Journey to the East".

"Mr. Zhou, this year's TV dramas include My Fair Princess, which is popular all over Asia and is considered a mountain work in the field of TV drama ratings.

Do you think Journey to the East can achieve the same success as My Fair Princess? "

"Hengzi, can you tell me how you guys came up with the idea of ​​forming a groundbreaking group?
Do you plan to continue this group?

Will there be any other events this year? For example, another concert. "

On August 6, Zhou Ziheng attended the TV launch of "Journey to the East" held in Singapore.

The reporters at the scene were very excited. As soon as Zhou Ziheng appeared, they immediately caught him and asked him questions.

Among them, the most frequently asked questions were about the epoch-making group.

There is no way, this group is definitely the hottest group in the Chinese-speaking world right now.

The record is very popular and all the members are big names.

Wherever they go, they will be focused on by countless spotlights.

“Journey to the East is a very good drama. Personally, I think this drama has the potential to be a huge hit in terms of ratings.

However, I would not compare it with "My Fair Princess".

"My Fair Princess" and "Journey to the East" are completely two different types of TV series.

Different genres have different audiences.”

Zhou Ziheng did not say that the ratings of "Journey to the East" would exceed those of "My Fair Princess".

The ratings of "My Fair Princess" are horrible.

With the right time, place and people, it is almost impossible for any other TV series to beat its ratings.

In this case, Zhou Ziheng would be a fool to brag that "Journey to the East" is better than it.

“Regarding the epoch-making group, actually at the beginning it was just Leon Lai and I who wanted to hold a concert together for fun.

It just so happened that my brother came to the hospital to see me that day.

As you know, I was injured while filming last year and was hospitalized for a while.

That was when we discussed the epoch-making idea.

Jay Chou was added in after we interviewed him because we felt he was very talented and had a unique style.

As for whether Epoch-making will continue to be formed.

Actually, I can’t say for sure about this question.

Maybe we will never reunite with Epoch Times, or maybe we will keep this group alive. It’s all possible.”

“Okay, I think everyone should focus on Journey to the East. Our actors are excellent and the script is good.

I think the audience should still be looking forward to this drama.”

Zhou Ziheng simply answered a few questions and asked the reporter to put the focus back on "Journey to the East".

……

On August 15th, "Journey to the East" officially started broadcasting.

This drama was broadcast simultaneously on multiple channels over a period of several days, and was broadcast simultaneously on Singapore Television, Taiwan Television, Sichuan Satellite TV, Hong Kong TV, and more than a dozen regions including Thailand, South Korea, and Japan.

I have to say, this is Zhou Ziheng's drama.

If it were someone else, even if the quality of the gathering was very good, it would not be possible to broadcast it simultaneously on so many TV stations.

It is precisely because Zhou Ziheng is very influential in these countries and regions that local TV stations almost do not look at the early ratings.

As soon as the TV series was released here, it was immediately introduced to their own country and region.

And this TV series did not disappoint these TV stations.

After the TV series was broadcast on major TV stations, it took advantage of Zhou Ziheng's fame.

The drama has received very good ratings everywhere.

Although it was not as high as the 48 ratings of "My Fair Princess", it still scored in the mainland, becoming the second most watched TV series this year and also the most popular TV series this year.

It’s no wonder that when Zhou Ziheng’s Lu Dongbin appeared on the stage, he really amazed the audience, especially the female fans.

Before, Zhou Ziheng had never performed in a costume drama.

This time is the first time.

And the effect is very good.

The person on the road is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world. He is the one I am talking about.

The image of a handsome and playboy in white clothes directly created a classic character in the history of TV dramas.

With the broadcast of "Journey to the East" in more than a dozen countries, the theme song and ending song "Too Much" written and sung by Zhou Ziheng also spread rapidly in Asia.

This song fits perfectly with the love story between the Peony Fairy and Lu Dongbin in "Journey to the East".

The song is nice to listen to and is well-liked by the audience.

Since the TV series was broadcast, this song has been at the top of the radio song request charts in various regions.

Some fans even called and requested that the TV series soundtrack be released as soon as possible.

Unable to withstand the repeated requests of fans, Hengdong Records released the soundtrack of "Journey to the East" at the end of August.

The soundtrack became an instant hit upon its release.

More than 700,000 copies were sold in just two weeks.

Ranked first on this year's soundtrack CD sales chart.

"Too Much" and "Xiao Yao You" even began to compete with the songs on the album "Era-Changing" on major charts.

In the past two years, there is a saying in the music industry.

“You buy a weekly newspaper with music charts from various regions.

If there is no song by Zhou Ziheng in the top ten, then remember, this list is not professional, please don’t buy it next time.”

This is just a joke though.

But the fact is, from 1994 to now.

On the music charts of important record markets in several major Chinese-speaking regions, including the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Even if Zhou Ziheng has not released an album, he will always be on this list.

Zhou Ziheng himself doesn’t know how long his album songs will be on the charts.

He only knew that, in the Chinese music scene, no one's songs seemed to be on the charts longer than his.
