Huayu: The Unbelievable Matching Mechanism of Jay Chou's Love Songs

Since the passersby who had just returned from buying albums from the stalls were openly discussing Feng Zheng's new album, Yan Chengxu, Zhou Yumin, Wu Jianhao, and others on the bus all learned about Feng Zheng's new album release.

"Feng Zheng's...album?"

The group was taken aback by what they heard. Zhou Yumin and Wu Jianhao were relatively better off, but Yan Chengxu, who had been in a good mood, suddenly looked dejected.

Almost everyone knew that Feng Zheng's first solo album was about to be released; it wasn't a secret. After all, Wu Zongxian used this as a reason to refuse Chai Zhiping's request to move part of Feng Zheng's contract.

However, the fact that Feng Zheng's records were so "hot" was something they hadn't expected.

Yes, he is indeed one of F4, but the problem is that he has recently been caught in a media storm.

How come so many people support him all at once?

Something's not right...

"Go see what they're selling..."

As Yan Chengxu scratched his head in impatience, Chai Zhiping instructed her assistant, "Buy one of everything, no matter what they're selling."

Since I'm stuck here anyway, I might as well go down and buy a copy to listen to.

She wanted to see what was going on.

"Okay, Sister Chai." The assistant nodded and was about to get out of the car.

"Hey, wait a minute..." Zhou Yumin suddenly called out to her.

After the assistant stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a puzzled expression, Zhou Yumin took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a few bills, handed them over, and said:

"If it really is Feng Zheng's record, please buy a copy for us too."

The amount he took out was probably enough to buy two albums, meaning it was most likely for himself and Wu Jianhao.

Yan Chengxu: "(￢_￢)Mew"

"this……"

The assistant subconsciously looked at Chai Zhiping not far away, trying to get the opinion of her agent, Sister Chai.

Chai Zhiping's lips twitched, and she glared at Zhou Yumin resentfully. It seemed that Zhou Yumin hadn't listened to a word she said tonight...

Oh well, he'll buy it for himself anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Chai Zhiping waved her hand, and only then did her assistant feel relieved enough to go and make the purchase.

A moment later, the assistant returned with three albums: one CD and two cassettes. The CD was given to Chai Zhiping, and the two cassettes were given to Zhou Yumin and Wu Jianhao respectively.

"Not bad..."

Wu Jianhao looked at the palm-sized cassette tape for a few moments, then nodded repeatedly, saying with a hint of envy, "This record looks to be of good quality; the production is quite excellent."

When Wu Jianhao returned from America, he originally wanted to release an album. This guy had a dream of making music, and he was extremely envious when he saw his friend Feng Zheng release an album first. He would definitely praise him a bit.

To be honest, the production of Feng Zheng's album is indeed quite good.

"Did you bring a Walkman?" Zhou Yumin asked Wu Jianhao.

"Yes." Wu Jianhao quickly pulled out a cassette player the size of a box from his bag.

He originally intended to play it on speakerphone, but Zhou Yumin quickly took out earphones from a bag nearby, plugged them in, and each of them, one for himself and one for Wu Jianhao, effectively "isolating" everyone else...

Seeing this, Yan Chengxu's lips twitched, and he could only cast hopeful glances at Chai Zhiping.

Chai Zhiping gritted her teeth inwardly, too lazy to pay attention to the two of them, and lowered her head to carefully examine Feng Zheng's album titled "Zheng".

The album is beautiful. Below the title on the back cover, "Every song is a hit!", are neatly listed the titles of ten songs:

It's getting dark.

"courage"

At Least I Still Have You

"Belief"

"gentle"

"later"

Listen to the Sea

The Book of Laughter and Forgetting

Small Town Girl

"Pity"

"Tch, what a joke..."

After reading it, Chai Zhiping scoffed, shook her head, and said, "If there's no title track, then there's no title track. You're saying every single one of them is a title track? You have the nerve to brag like that."

Actually, when Wu Zongxian first signed Feng Zheng and decided to release an album for him, he thought that Feng Zheng's "Courage" was of very good quality and was more than enough to be the title track. With "Courage" on the list, even if the other songs were rubbish, they could still support the sales.

But who knew that any of Feng Zheng's later works would be just as good as "Courage"!

So when it came to choosing the "title track," both he and Yang Junrong faced a dilemma...

Fortunately, Feng Zheng was quite resourceful and said directly, "If we can't choose, then let's not choose. Let's make all the decisions ourselves."

That's how we came up with the slogan "Every song is a hit song".

Feng Zheng was definitely telling the truth with this slogan, but if some people look at it with prejudice, the meaning will naturally be different.

For example, Chai Zhiping believes that Feng Zheng's album is of average quality and there is no hit song to choose from, so he uses "every song is a hit song" as a gimmick to attract fans.

But is the truth really as she thought?

Just as Chai Zhiping scoffed and Yan Chengxu was so anxious he was practically tearing his hair out, Wu Jianhao, not far away, suddenly let out a shocked shout:

"Wow, that sounds great!"

He rolled up his sleeves and said to Zhou Yumin beside him, "I'm getting goosebumps! Feng Zheng can sing so well!"

Zhou Yumin nodded in agreement, a smile playing on his lips...

Chai Zhiping, who had just scoffed at Feng Zheng's album, frowned and thought to herself, "Wu Jianhao is supposed to be from America, so why is he so uncultured?"

What are you doing that gives you goosebumps?!

Chai Zhiping was too lazy to guess anymore, and casually handed the CD in her hand to the assistant in the passenger seat.

Many cars in this era had CD players, and the car's audio system was perfectly adequate for playing CDs. So the assistant who took the record simply put the CD into the car's CD player.

After pressing the buttons a few times, melodious music soon began to play.

At that moment, whether they were scoffing or curious and expectant, Chai Zhiping, Yan Chengxu and the others all showed expressions of listening intently.

The first song played was "Courage." At first, they didn't think much of it, but after listening to the song, everyone in the car widened their eyes...

I felt a sense of awe and shock.

"Courage" is the kind of song that everyone, regardless of expertise or lack thereof, finds appealing and leaves a lasting impression.

It is also destined to be one of the most popular songs on the entire album.

After listening to "Courage," Chai Zhiping and Yan Chengxu's expressions had already changed from "disdain" to "shock," and then the second song immediately followed with "Darkness Falls"...

After finishing "Darkness Falls," he immediately took on "At Least I Still Have You."

Then came "Faith," "Gentleness," "Later," "Listen to the Sea"...

shock?

Later on, Chai Zhiping, Yan Chengxu, and the others were no longer shocked.

Their faces were all blank!

That night, the area around Neihu Stadium was packed with people. The excited expressions on the faces of the crowds as they rushed to buy Feng Zheng's first solo album seemed to be telling Chai Zhiping one thing, which was...

Feng Zheng can't hold back anymore!
