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

Chapter 45 A Musical Prodigy Across the Centuries!

"#F4's Feng Zheng's debut solo album sells over 16 copies in its first week!#"

"#Over 166,800 copies, is another million-selling phenomenal album about to be born?!"

"#It turns out that starring in 'Meteor Garden' was just a side job for Feng Zheng!"

"#Wu Zongxian, the ultimate talent scout! He discovered two cross-generational talents, Zhou Jielun and Feng Zheng!#"

Yes, don't doubt it, the last point was something Wu Zongxian himself bought to glorify himself.

It's gone viral...

It's become a huge hit!

When the first-week sales figures for Feng Zheng's debut self-titled album "Zheng" were released, the entire island of Taiwan was awestruck by his name.

Before this, the biggest discussion about Feng Zheng was that, as one of the F4, he acted like a diva on set, was unsociable, and disrespectful to his teammates…

After that, his reputation underwent a stunning reversal.

It is said that a work can give an artist a "filter," and this is best exemplified in Feng Zheng. Although many people had a very bad impression of him because of rumors, after listening to his songs, they subconsciously felt that someone who can write such good songs could not be bad.

Someone who can write such good songs doesn't seem like someone who acts like a diva, doesn't fit in, or doesn't respect their teammates, right?

Well, it's possible that those entertainment reporters are just making things up. It's also possible that Wu Zongxian is right, and that Chai Zhiping is an idiot who's smearing Feng Zheng...

then!

This completely changed everyone's impression of Feng Zheng!

At the same time, Feng Zheng's status in the hearts of the audience also rose almost like a rocket!

Although piracy was rampant in this era, it was still the era of records. "Record sales" were almost synonymous with a singer's "status" in the Chinese music scene and the entire entertainment industry. Therefore, due to the soaring sales of Feng Zheng's records, his popularity and status, which had been growing with "Meteor Garden," entered a period of "explosive growth"!

During that period, Feng Zheng's songs were playing everywhere on the streets and alleys of the entire island of Taiwan. People were also playing his records on their Walkmans. Young people were no longer just imitating Dao Ming Si and Hua Ze Lei; more and more people were following Xi Men's trend!

Many fans even publicly declared in media interviews, "I think Feng Zheng is the most handsome of the F4!"

Here's something really interesting...

That is, although Feng Zheng was also very handsome and ahead of his time, Yan Chengxu and Zhou Yumin always overshadowed him because of the "character filter".

But now...

He's been blessed with the "filter of his work"!

Whenever his face appears on screen, viewers subconsciously recall his singing voice, as if a "play" button has been pressed, and those familiar background music lines immediately begin to play in their minds:

"Love truly requires courage, to face the six-eyed flying fish~"

"I fell in love with someone I would give my all for, and I thought this was the world I had been searching for!"

"If I could give up the whole world, at least I still have you, someone I can cherish!"

"My love for you is such a clear and unwavering belief!"

"Do you still remember how we used to 'oh ah ah' so many years ago?"

to be honest!

At this moment, thanks to the halo of his works, Feng Zheng has instantly become a "blue silver with his own background music"!

Just say it!

How could his popularity not skyrocket?

In the past, when people talked about F4, the first people they would mention were Zhou Yumin and Yan Chengxu...

Now, Feng Zheng alone can almost "stand on equal footing" with the two of them!

This phenomenon was completely unexpected by everyone. No one expected that Feng Zheng would make such a remarkable comeback with just one album!

What I least expected was not the haters or entertainment reporters...

Instead, it was Chai Zhiping, the mastermind behind F4!

"He's incredibly popular! Are these sales figures real? Are you sure they're not fake?!"

In the office, the assistant held the paper data he had just received and complained incredulously.

The other assistant beside him shook his head helplessly and said, "I would believe it if you said other albums were fake, but the quality of this album... is really not likely to be fake."

Feng Zheng's album has become a hit throughout Taiwan in the past two weeks. All 10 songs are now popular on their own, with none hindering the others. On average, each song is worthy of a Golden Melody Award, truly living up to the title's claim that "every song is a hit single".

With an album of this quality, people would just take its sales for granted!

"But this..." The assistant holding the data still couldn't believe that Feng Zheng, whom they had been smearing for so long, had become a musical prodigy of the new century almost "overnight".

She had originally intended to argue her point...

"cough……"

Another assistant quickly coughed and then winked at her. Only then did the latter notice Chai Zhiping, who had been sitting at her desk without saying a word, with a face that looked as dark and gloomy as if it were about to burst into water.

Fortune changes every thirty years, so never underestimate a young person's potential...

There was a time when Chai Zhiping thought that Feng Zheng was no different from the other F3 members, all newcomers who could be manipulated at will. Therefore, when Wu Zongxian refused to transfer Feng Zheng's contract, she recklessly suppressed Feng Zheng to show Wu Zongxian what she was doing, without caring about Feng Zheng's feelings at all.

In her eyes, Feng Zheng probably doesn't have any "face" to speak of. How could a future capital investor who has transitioned to behind-the-scenes work care about an artist's face?

They suppressed it without hesitation.

But things are different now...

Now that Feng Zheng's new album is a hit in Taiwan and his status has soared, the "relationship" between the two is also undergoing some subtle changes.

For example, she held all the resources for F4 from "Meteor Garden". If Feng Zheng wanted them, he had to stay, even if she suppressed him. He had to listen to her.

but now……

Given Feng Zheng's current popularity, his own resources are in no way inferior to those of F4!

To put it bluntly, he no longer needs to "beg" Chai Zhiping.

Instead, it was Chai Zhiping who begged him not to leave!

It's worth noting that if Feng Zheng had stayed with F4, his album would have greatly benefited F4's subsequent marketing and promotions. Chai Zhiping could have used him as the main promotional target and earned even more money.

But if he leaves...

He even turned on his family after leaving, complaining to the media about his recent "miserable experience" of being suppressed by Chai Zhiping...

Given his current fanbase and his current standing among his fans...

Chai Zhiping is in a terrible situation.

F4's future work will also be affected!

The losses were truly devastating!

Looking back now, Chai Zhiping actually regrets being so harsh on Feng Zheng...

She should have left a way out!

Even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least care about the Buddha. Even if you don't care about Wu Zongxian's sullen face, you should at least care about Feng Zheng's face!

Now it's all good...

Now, what paths lie before her?

The only way out is to grovel and beg for mercy from Wu Zongxian and Feng Zheng!
