Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 141 If you criticize me, I will definitely hit back
"Jacky, I heard that Zhou Ziheng's new album is an English album. Do you think it will be successful?"

In Hong Kong, the crew of "The Untold Detective" finished filming today's scenes, and Jacky Cheung is preparing to go home.

As soon as he left the crew, he was surrounded by reporters who were waiting at the door.

One of the reporters rushed up to him and asked loudly.

"Who?" Jacky Cheung thought he had misheard at first.

Zhou Ziheng has achieved remarkable results in all Chinese-speaking regions for two consecutive albums.

If it were him, he would definitely press on with his victory and continue to release Mandarin albums to maintain his popularity.

Therefore, when he heard that Zhou Ziheng was going to release an English album, he was a little unconvinced for a moment.

"Zhou Ziheng, there is news from Guangdong that his new album has begun production, but this album is an English album.

And it has been preliminarily decided that this album will cost 4 million RMB.”

the reporter said.

Hearing this, Jacky Cheung smiled.

He closed the car door that had been opened.

He's been very unhappy lately.

Because he temporarily withdrew from the Wanwan Golden Melody Awards, his reputation suffered a great impact.

The Taiwanese media really dislikes him and frequently uses this incident to attack him, saying that he is a big shot and that he can't afford to lose.

As for Zhou Ziheng, the culprit who caused all this, Jacky Cheung was so angry that his teeth were itching.

I thought there would be no chance for revenge in the short term, but I didn't expect that the opportunity would come so soon.

“To be honest, I don’t really understand what he wants to do.

Does he think he is the Bruce Lee of the music world?

He hasn’t even made it in the Chinese music scene, yet he’s already thinking about the European and American markets.”

Although he felt very happy about other's misfortune in his heart, Jacky Cheung still looked quite serious on the surface.

"I dare say he will come back with a bloody head."

"You mean you don't think highly of him?" the reporter grasped the point.

“Yeah, I didn’t think his English record would be successful.

The European and American music scene is very xenophobic, who does he think he is?"

……

Jacky Cheung's remarks resonated greatly among his peers in Hong Kong.

Indeed, who is Zhou Ziheng!

He really thinks he is the Bruce Lee of the music world.

Following Jacky Cheung, many Hong Kong singers and actors began to mock Zhou Ziheng.

Zhou Ziheng, a mainlander, is so popular in Hong Kong that many celebrities are unhappy with him.

Now, he suddenly ran into the gunpoint, it would be strange if these people didn't add insult to injury!!
One of them is Dicky Cheung, who was recently abandoned by Wong Jing and can’t find any roles to play.

Maybe it was to attract attention, or maybe he was really displeased with Zhou Ziheng.

When he attended his girlfriend Xuan Xuan's TVB interview program, he directly said:

“Everyone wants to enter Europe and America. How arrogant!

He really thinks he has some talent and thinks he is a nobody."

The famous Hong Kong lyricist Liang Muxi also said in an interview:
“If he asked EMi Records to hire European and American songwriters to create an album for him, I have nothing to say.

But I heard that he wrote the lyrics and music for this album himself.

His courage is commendable, but I don't think he can write good English songs.

English songs and Chinese songs are completely two different types of songs.

He is too arrogant, and it is obvious that he has never experienced the beatings of society.

Moreover, in my opinion, his talent is just so-so, and his reputation as the strongest creator of the younger generation in the Chinese music scene is just hype from the media.”

……

Zhou Ziheng was also surprised that he had just released an English album, but it had caused so much ridicule from his Hong Kong colleagues. It was as if these guys hated him so much.

However, after careful study, Zhou Ziheng probably understood why.

It's still a question of regional discrimination.

These guys look down on mainland singers.

I usually feel that I am superior to others.

However, Zhou Ziheng, a singer from the mainland, not only has his records selling well in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but has also become the most popular singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past two years.

Moreover, some media in Hong Kong and Taiwan praised Zhou Ziheng highly, calling him the most talented creator of the new generation and saying that he single-handedly held off the Four Heavenly Kings.

It's just like when the person you look down upon the most suddenly becomes successful, you would feel uncomfortable.

Many of his colleagues in Hong Kong were jealous of Zhou Ziheng.

Since they had no chance before, these people naturally kept their mouths shut.

Now, Zhou Ziheng was suddenly caught by them.

There were people walking in front carrying shields, so they naturally thought they could come down and give the enemy a beating.

The entertainment industry is like this, kicking someone when they are down is the norm.

Not to mention strangers, even good friends will kick you when you are down...

And now, it is obvious that these people feel that they can deal with Zhou Ziheng.

Although we can't defeat him, we can suppress him severely.

However, Zhou Ziheng is not the kind of person who would not fight back when being beaten or scolded.

After knowing that many people in Hong Kong were mocking him, he opened fire.

This is what he said about Jacky Cheung.

"I'm not the Bruce Lee of the music world, I'm Zhou Ziheng of the music world. I can't make it in the Chinese music world? Wait until your single record sales exceed mine before you say that!"

He is relatively gentle towards Jacky Cheung. After all, the two of them curse each other every day and have developed feelings for each other.

Moreover, Zhou Ziheng has become completely immune to his attacks against himself.

But when it came to Dicky Cheung, Zhou Ziheng was not completely polite and just criticized him directly.

"You are a useless piece of shit, what right do you have to criticize me? Go back and make your crappy movies!
You tell lies all the time. I feel sorry for Mr. Leslie Cheung for promoting a bastard like you.

Also, I have to rely on my girlfriend to get on the show, so what qualifications do you have to judge me?

Do you sell more records than me? Or do you make more movies than me?

Zhou Ziheng's criticism of Dicky Cheung was like rubbing salt into the wound.
First, about Leslie Cheung and his problem.

Many people know that Dicky Cheung was able to make his debut with the support of Leslie Cheung.

But most people don’t know that what this guy did was really disgraceful.

First of all, he did not get to know Leslie Cheung through normal channels.

Instead, he harassed Leslie Cheung by phone.

At that time, he was working as a waiter in a restaurant and had nothing to do all day, so he copied down all the phone numbers of celebrities from magazines and called them one by one, over and over again.

It was through this method that he got to know the gentle Leslie Cheung.

So Leslie Cheung introduced him to participate in the New Talent Singing Competition.

Originally, up to this point, it just shows that he is playful.

But the result was disgusting.

In the rookie competition, this guy lied directly and said he was Leslie Cheung's cousin in order to attract attention and advance.

Leslie Cheung was on the stage at that time.

Because of what he said, "He is my cousin", my face turned black on the spot.

Perhaps because he was trapped, and because of his good personality, Leslie Cheung did not expose him in the end.

With the reputation of being Leslie Cheung's cousin, Dicky Cheung won the championship of the rookie competition and made his debut directly.

However, because of this incident, it is said that Leslie Cheung never dealt with him again. He probably saw through his character.
