Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

In the original time and space, although the mainland music scene had begun to show signs of rising in late 1996, it was actually still suppressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Especially with the emergence of A-Mei Chang and Richie Jen, the entire Chinese music scene has become the world of Taiwanese singers.

At that time, Wanwan was the leader in the music scene, and her album overwhelmed other singers in all Chinese regions.

However, at this time and space, the appearance of Zhou Ziheng has greatly changed the situation.

In 1992, Zhou Ziheng emerged out of nowhere and his first album sold out in mainland China.

Afterwards, Zhou Ziheng's second album began to enter Hong Kong and Taiwan, competing directly with Jacky Cheung, becoming a miracle that could not be ignored in the entire Chinese music scene.

In the following years, Zhou Ziheng became stronger and stronger.

Any album he released in the same period had almost no rivals.

No matter whether they were the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong or the Little King of Taiwan, they were basically crushed to pieces in front of him.

In addition, Zhou Ziheng's two English albums have made him famous in Europe and the United States, and he has been hailed as a superstar from Asia by European and American media.

This further increased Zhou Ziheng's prestige, making him feel like he was the leader in the Chinese music scene.

It is precisely because of this that the status of the entire mainland music scene has been significantly improved under his leadership.

Although perhaps in terms of the market, the mainland at this time is affected by piracy and the environment is not as good as that in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

But it is undeniable that because of Zhou Ziheng's rise, the entire mainland market has improved significantly compared to the original time and space.

This can be seen from the data of mainland singers in recent years.

Since 1992, there have been more than fifteen mainland singers whose record sales have exceeded one million each year.

Zhou Ziheng even created an unprecedented sales volume of five million in mainland China alone.

For this reason, in this time and space, international record companies including Warner Records entered the mainland market two or three years earlier than in the previous life.

A large number of international records have entered the mainland.

This has made the mainland record market continue to be hot in the past two years and has become a hot commodity.

However, no matter how promising the mainland market is.

There is a consensus among all singers, that is, don't mess with Zhou Ziheng unless necessary.

Last year, when Zhou Ziheng released the album "Heart Too Soft", some singers were dissatisfied and directly challenged him.

As for the ending!
Under the crush of the big truck "Heart Too Soft", almost all the records released at the same time sank.

These include Jacky Cheung’s "Three Years, Two Languages" and Aaron Kwok’s "Memorandum".

After the two kings' albums met Zhou Ziheng's "Heart Too Soft", their album sales once became the lowest since their debut.

Because of this incident, even Jacky Cheung, a stubborn guy, did not dare to conflict with Zhou Ziheng. The album originally scheduled for release in December was postponed again and again, and was directly postponed to February due to various technical problems.

Even Jacky Cheung retreated, let alone others.

Throughout late December, apart from Zhou Ziheng's new album, there were surprisingly no other new records online.

Zhou Ziheng felt like there was no one he could fight against.

Of course, it's not impossible.

For example, A-mei Chang’s “Sisters”.

Although this album was released on the 12th, because Zhou Ziheng and others helped promote it before, this album is now like a fierce dragon crossing the river in the market, killing all other previously released records in the market.

Just over ten days, for such a popular album, its popularity period has not even passed.

Therefore, after Zhou Ziheng’s record was released, the first thing he had to deal with was the album "Sisters".

Don’t think that everyone in the outside world seems to be scared to death of Zhou Ziheng now. After knowing that his album will be released, they have withdrawn their albums from the schedule.

But in fact, I don’t know how many people are staring at this record now!
They hoped that Zhou Ziheng would not be able to defeat "Sisters" and be pinned to the ground by Zhang Huimei. Zhou Ziheng himself was of course aware of this situation.

But he himself didn't take it seriously.

A-Mei Chang's "Sisters" is indeed a hot seller in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other places.

But to be honest, this album didn't affect him at all.

If it weren't for Zhang Yusheng, he would even dare to confront this album head-on.

In addition, there are many people outside who hope that Zhou Ziheng will be rubbed.

But Fenghua’s ideas are different from those of those who are just watching the fun.

Peng Guohua called Zhou Ziheng personally.

Hopefully he can postpone the release of the record for a few more days.

why?
Because Peng Guohua knew very well that with Zhou Ziheng's reputation and appeal, his album would definitely become a craze throughout Asia as soon as it was released.

A-Mei Chang’s albums do have good reputation and sales.

But he was frightened by Zhou Ziheng's aggressive momentum.

After all, the market is so big. If Zhou Ziheng's record is released and sales explode, Zhang Huimei's album sales will inevitably decline.

That’s money!
Peng Guohua felt heartbroken when he thought about it.

So he contacted Zhou Ziheng in advance, using all kinds of words, even bringing up Zhang Yusheng, hoping that Zhou Ziheng's album could be postponed for a while.

Zhou Ziheng naturally would not agree to this.

He has nothing to do with Fenghua Records and Peng Guohua.

Why should he give in?

Because of Zhang Yusheng, we gave way for about a month, and we are still giving way now.

How can this be.

Moreover, the purpose of leaving a name for Zhang Yusheng has been achieved.

Zhang Yusheng's reputation in the music industry has now been blown up.

At this time, even if his album overshadowed "Sisters", it would not affect Zhang Yusheng's status and reputation in the Chinese music scene.

So, “Sisters” has nothing to do with Zhou Ziheng now!
He rejected Peng Guohua's proposal without even thinking about it.

Moreover, "Love Story Under the Stars" did not hesitate at all and directly chose to release it globally.

Yes, this album will be released globally, including in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States.

Because of his previous two English albums, Zhou Ziheng has already played an important role in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and has a large number of fans, many of whom will buy his Chinese albums just because of the name Zhou Ziheng.

Therefore, this album was chosen to be released globally under Emi's arrangement.

Of course, other regions are the same as the mainland, and will not release songs to compete in the charts in advance.

Instead, they directly promoted the release of Zhou Ziheng's new album. As for how many people are willing to pay for it, it all depends on Zhou Ziheng's appeal.

Even if the performance on the first day is average, as long as the radio station starts playing the songs after the album is released, other ordinary fans who are still on the sidelines will naturally buy it if they like the songs in the album.

Zhou Ziheng and Emi are not worried at all about the album failing.

This should be the appearance of a superstar!

It can also be said to be confidence, confidence in one's own work and confidence in one's appeal.
