Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 67: The Four Heavenly Kings? No, They Are Not Gods (First Order)

Although Faye Wong said that she had handed over all her schedule arrangements for the next few days to Zhou Ziheng.

But the truth is, it was just a joke.

Faye Wong is very popular in Hong Kong now.

It achieved remarkable results in the just-concluded Hong Kong Top Ten Golden Songs and Jade Solid Gold Awards.

It is popular in Hong Kong, so naturally it is also popular in Guangdong.

The name Wang Jiawen and the song "A Woman Easily Hurt" are very popular in Guangdong, although not as popular as Zhou Ziheng.

Therefore, when she came to Guangdong, she naturally had to attend various commercial performances.

So, in the next few days, although the two met often, they did not stay together every day.

Besides, Zhou Ziheng actually has a lot of things to do.

His tape production had reached a critical juncture.

If nothing unexpected happens, this tape should be released in May.

……

In April, the Chinese music scene was not peaceful.

Jacky Cheung released his most famous album, Kiss Goodbye, in March.

As soon as this album was released, it quickly became popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Even Guangdong has been affected.

Many people brought this tape from Hong Kong to Guangdong, making the song extremely popular.

Seeing that "Kiss Goodbye" was so popular, Cailing Company, which had the distribution rights for Jacky Cheung's tapes in mainland China, immediately decided to import this album and decided to release it in mainland China in May.

At the same time, when "Goodbye Kiss" was extremely popular, there was also an album in Taiwan that was no less popular.

In late April, Rolling Stone Records released its singer Wakin Chau's new album "Flower Heart", which directly competed with "Kiss Goodbye" in Taiwan.

The fierce competition between the two albums in Taiwan was so intense that it was like heaven and earth were in chaos.

On the Formosa Dragon and Tiger Golden Songs Chart.

Today "Goodbye Kiss" has the advantage and wins the championship, and tomorrow "Flower Heart" will be even better.

On major radio demand charts, songs from the two albums occupy almost half of the top ten positions.

As time went by, this kind of fighting directly spread to the entire Chinese-speaking region.

Even here in Guangdong, it can be felt clearly.

On the 23rd, "Goodbye Kiss" was on the charts of major radio stations in Guangdong.

Four titles were crowned champions on the first day, and all other titles were also among the top five.

"Goodbye Kiss" was so brutal that it directly caused the Guangdong media to collectively cry "wolf".

"Goodbye Kiss" was so popular that it topped the song request charts of all radio stations in Guangdong after only two days on the charts.

Although singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan have always been very popular in mainland China, this is the first time that they have suddenly ranked first and made other singers tremble in fear.

In addition, after the announcement that "Kiss Goodbye" would be released nationwide on May 1st, several mainland singers who had originally planned to release albums directly backed out and announced that the tape release date would be postponed due to technical reasons.

This made all major media outlets in Guangdong collectively angry and they began to make accusations.

"Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are so fierce, is there no one in the mainland and Guangdong music scene who can stand up to the challenge?"

"There will be no place for mainland singers in the mainland tape market in May"

"Does Guangdong record companies just sit back and watch Hong Kong and Taiwan singers dominate the charts in Guangdong?"

Such reports are endless.

Affected by such reports, several major record companies in Guangdong were affected.

They are the kind of people who wait for disaster to come to them while they are at home.

It is normal to postpone the release of a hot-selling tape in order to avoid affecting sales, and they have done this many times before.

But now that the media has done this, they have been put in a position of prominence.

Indeed, everyone knows that music in Hong Kong and Taiwan is more developed than that in the mainland.

But it was exposed by the media, saying that they just sat there and watched singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan top the charts in their own country. How can the major record companies save their face?
So, as a last resort, several major record companies took turns to step forward and announce the tapes that their companies would soon release.

The time was May. However, the major record companies were not fools, and the tapes they released were all of singers who were not famous at all.

There wasn't a single tape from any big-name singers, and all of them were quietly postponed to avoid colliding with "Kiss Goodbye".

They are afraid!

"Goodbye Kiss" was released in March. By late April, it was extremely popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other places, with sales exceeding two million.

That is the real dragon crossing the river.

Let’s take a look at the major song request charts in Guangdong now.

"Goodbye Kiss" consistently occupies the first place.

Just these terrifying statistics and popularity.

Who dares to go up and touch it?

Basically, whoever goes up there will die.

Just when the entire Guangdong music scene was feeling suffocated by Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye".

On the 22nd, Zhou Ziheng walked into the gate of Pacific with the new tape he had just completed.

"What? You're releasing it in May?"

In Liu Zhiwen's office, Liu Zhiwen, who hadn't had time to listen to the tape yet, stood up in shock.
"You don't have a fever? Do you know who that is? The Four Heavenly Kings, "Kiss Goodbye" has become so popular in the Chinese-speaking regions of Asia that everyone is avoiding it.

Now you are saying that you want to release it in the same month as him!"

"So what about the Four Heavenly Kings? They are also human beings."

Zhou Ziheng sat on the sofa opposite and said in a deep voice:
“Besides, this is also an opportunity for me.

The more popular "Goodbye Kiss" is, the more attention I can attract by running into it in person.

You can see that the media are now very disappointed with mainland singers and think that all of them are so weak.

If I stand up now, do you think they will support me?"

"But..." Liu Zhiwen frowned.

Zhou Ziheng's tape is Pacific's key project this year, and they are counting on it to make another fortune!

Now Zhou Ziheng actually plans to use it to compete head-on with Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye".

He was really worried that Zhou Ziheng would die before accomplishing his mission.

Indeed, Zhou Ziheng is very popular in mainland China.

He was arguably the most popular singer in mainland China last year.

But who is on the other side?
Jacky Cheung! The best singer among the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Confront him head-on.

Liu Zhiwen didn't think Zhou Ziheng had any chance of winning.

If things go wrong, his tape might even die prematurely because of the collision.

“Brother Zhiwen, the Four Heavenly Kings are also human beings.

You have deified them too much. They are not the gods in Taoism and Buddhism, they are just a name.

It is true that they are very popular, but in mainland China, I am not much weaker than them.

And I have confidence in this tape.”

Zhou Ziheng said seriously.

The Four Heavenly Kings of this period were really overhyped.

Because of the hype from Hong Kong and Taiwan media.

There isn't even one person in the mainland who dares to challenge them.

I have to say, this is really sad.

"Why don't you listen to this tape of mine before making a decision?

In my opinion, its quality and popularity even surpass the previous song "Wandering Song".

Seeing that Liu Zhiwen was still hesitating, Zhou Ziheng directly handed the tape to him.
