Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 317: Terrifying Influence
The following day, Wu Zhuo's first solo concert since his debut was officially held in Tokyo.

Compared to Fahrenheit's concert with over 50,000 attendees, Wu Zhuo's solo concert only had a little over 20,000 people.

But in terms of influence, this concert far surpassed that.

The reason was that on the day of the concert, the stadium where Wu Zhuo held his concert was completely blocked by fans who couldn't get tickets.

The internet in Japan is full of calls for record companies to add more shows and expand venues.

Discussion generates buzz; this is an age-old law of the entertainment industry.

This is true both domestically and internationally.

Because a large number of netizens complained online that tickets for Wu Zhuo's latest solo concert were unavailable, it directly attracted the attention of Japanese media.

Numerous media outlets are reporting on this matter.

"Chinese singer Abel's first solo concert in Tokyo saw all 23,000 tickets sold out within a week." — Tokyo Entertainment.

"Crazy! Tens of thousands of fans gathered outside Abel's concert, causing a five-hour traffic jam. Tokyo police urge fans to be rational when chasing celebrities." — Osaka Daily News

"Abel revealed at her concert that she was a fan of Akina Nakamori." — Sony Daily

If Wu Zhuo's concert in Japan is just entertainment news...

In mainland China, this concert, which didn't have a large audience, became a national news event.

Because Wu Zhuo is in the news.

"my country's famous singer Wu Zhuo has launched a tour in Asia. All proceeds from this concert will be donated to the Wenchuan earthquake disaster area."

Although it was only a brief introduction lasting a few seconds.

However, this made Wu Zhuo famous in mainland China.

Online, his fans and even casual observers were amazed by this.

"Wow, Wu Zhuo must be the first person from Taiwan to appear on the national news broadcast!"

"Talented, handsome, and kind-hearted, how can anyone not love Wu Zhuo!"

"Wu Zhuo is awesome! Now that's a superstar with a sense of responsibility!"

To be honest, Wu Zhuo's concert was really impressive.

Even Wu Zhuo himself was surprised by the impact of the concert.

This concert included those who bought tickets to enter and those who didn't, who were just there to watch from the outside.

The total number has reached over 40,000.

Many of these people are not from Tokyo; many come from other parts of Japan, some from Singapore, Malaysia, and some even from China.

The large influx of people brought more than 50 billion yen in economic benefits to Tokyo.

This 50 billion is not for 2024, but for 2008.

In 2008, this number would be an enormous figure for any artist.

Because the resulting economic benefits are simply too high.

After the concert, the Tokyo local government even held a press conference to thank Wu Zhuo.

“We are very grateful to Abel for making Tokyo the first stop of this tour.”

We are actively contacting Abel to try and secure Tokyo as the venue for his next concert.

At the same time, we sincerely invite them to hold their next concert at the Tokyo Dome, which can hold 60,000 people.

The Tokyo local government's comments were almost tantamount to begging Wu Zhuo to come back to Tokyo for his next concert.

This caused a huge uproar in Tokyo.

This also allowed Wu Zhuo's fans and netizens who saw the related reports in the country to share in the glory and shame.

"Wu Zhuo is awesome! He must be the first person in China to be this awesome."

"Those who have been questioning Wu Zhuo's status as an international superstar, step forward and let me see what he looks like."

The evidence is right here; let's see how you try to smear me.

"What a pity! If Wu Zhuo's concert had been held in China, it would have made so much money for our local area! 50 billion yen! Concerts aren't something you can just hold whenever you want. Besides, Wu Zhuo's concert was originally a charity concert, and all the proceeds will be donated to disaster relief."

Earning money from foreigners to help the domestic economy is something that deserves our respect.

Why are some people so critical of this? Even fans from Taiwan aren't being critical, so why are you all being so sarcastic?

"This matter is indeed respectable, but to say that no one in Taiwan criticized Wu Zhuo is an exaggeration."

Look at this show; the number of people criticizing Wu Zhuo hasn't decreased, it's actually increased.

While Chinese netizens were expressing their pride in Wu Zhuo's concert, Wu Zhuo had already finished his activities in Japan and was preparing to head to South Korea for his next concert.

When it was time for him to leave, Sony was incredibly proactive, not only sending him a car but also arranging a private jet for him.

"Wu-san, you really need to consider the next concert in Japan as soon as possible. Japanese fans are really looking forward to it!"

Many people missed your concert this time, and everyone hopes you can hold another large-scale concert soon.

When seeing Wu Zhuo off at the airport, the Sony representative kept giving him instructions.

"Please rest assured, I will arrange it as soon as possible."

Wu Zhuo left with a smile and quickly boarded the plane.

……

"Many people compare Wu Zhuo to Jay Chou, but in my opinion, he is nothing at all."

Aside from being able to sing some incomprehensible, nonsensical lyrics.

His music has absolutely no artistic merit.

Upon arriving in South Korea, Wu Zhuo checked into a hotel arranged by his local agency.

After taking a shower, Wu Zhuo turned on the TV and tuned to a channel from the South Korean relay station.

Taiwan has very close cooperation with South Korea and Japan in television.

Many Taiwanese television stations have joint broadcasting agreements with television stations in Japan and South Korea.

Taiwan broadcasts channels from Japan and South Korea, and Japan and South Korea also broadcast programs from Taiwan's channels.

The channel being broadcast on TV at that time was the South Korean channel of SET TV.

This program is a current affairs news discussion program.

Today's guest is an official.

As soon as this guy opened his mouth, he started listing all the ways in which Wu Zhuo was inferior to Jay Chou.

Wu Zhuo lost interest after watching for two minutes.

This guy doesn't even know how to insult people properly.

The complaints are that his songs are awful, lack artistry, and he sings terribly.

To be honest, these words might have had some effect when Wu Zhuo first debuted.

Now, Wu Zhuo is basically immune to this.

Now he is famous throughout Asia and has a certain reputation in Europe and America.

Listen to his songs; there are countless people who like him.

These people all know the specific quality of Wu Zhuo's songs.

No matter how much others slander you, it won't make a difference.

"This guy's name is Huang Zhen. He has targeted many famous celebrities."

Chen Huiying handed Wu Zhuo a piece of identification information; it was the same bald man from the television.

Wu Zhuo nodded.

There are people like this everywhere.

They make money by doing this kind of trash-talking.
