The trip to Bangkok didn't seem as smooth as it could have been.

Although it is known as the second largest city in Southeast Asia, it is only slightly less prosperous than Singapore, and the various cultural shocks have also opened Zheng Qian's eyes, but the number of fans is much smaller than expected.

That's even more embarrassing.

"From the perspective of research, Thai fans should be the most enthusiastic. ”

Chen Zongze muttered to himself, puzzled.

It wasn't until they arrived at their destination that Zheng Qian and the others were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The signing session took place in a commercial complex.

In front of the building, countless girls held up various name tags, directly blocking the entire street.

When the bus in which Zheng Qian and the others were riding turned into this street, in an instant, the earth-shattering cheers and shouts came.

"Oh My God!

Chen Zongze's eyes widened, and the maternal fetus blurted out in Cantonese, with a look of disbelief.

The local organizers only let him come, and everything was already arranged.

But I didn't say on the phone that there were so many people here!

Now it's okay, maybe you can't even get by bus.

Even Zheng Qian gasped and looked ahead from the windshield, good guys, the whole street was full of fanatical fans.

There are thousands of people, not to mention thousands of people.

Zheng Qian's heart was frightened, if there was a good one, a stampede would really be too dangerous.

At this time, even if the windows are not opened, the call from outside is like an earthquake.

"Thai fans are so enthusiastic!"

Wang Gang swallowed his saliva and said dumbfounded.

Zheng Qian was also emotional.

The frenzy of local fans made Zheng Qian feel like a superstar.

For a while, the bottom of my heart also began to boil.

But the car can only be parked on the street, and cannot drive into the street.

Fortunately, the organizer received the news and immediately dispatched more than 20 security personnel to escort the bus slowly to the front of the commercial complex.

Then, the bus door was opened, and Zheng Qian and the others got off the bus one by one.

As soon as it landed, the spotlight flickered non-stop, not only reporters, but ordinary people also had a camera in their hands.

For a time, the light was shining.

Zheng Qian couldn't adapt for a while, and narrowed his eyes.

This scale, this treatment, can really give people the illusion of a superstar.

The name of "Zheng Qian" was shouted everywhere, but because the Chinese pronunciation was relatively awkward, Zheng Qian could only hear the homonyms of "Qin Qia" and "Qin Qia", and Zheng Qian was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that he was shouting himself.

So he raised his smiling face, waved vigorously to the fans around him, and even took the initiative to bypass the security personnel and rub his hands with the fans who were reaching out frantically.

Screams rang out one after another.

Finally, after entering the building, the person in charge of Universal Music's Thailand office stepped forward to shake hands with Zheng Qian, Chen Zongze and others, and explained in English: "The rally here is approved by the police, don't worry, our fans in Thailand have always been like this, and the centripetal force and action are very strong." ”

Zheng Qian understood a little, and he was also suddenly.

Different from the high-flying artists in China, Japan and South Korea, the artists in Thailand can be said to be quite friendly, almost zero distance contact with fans, never put up a fight, and get along with fans in the mode of friends, which has formed a unique fan culture in the world.

So once you like an idol artist, it's really a heart-to-heart liking.

In the entire Southeast Asian region, Thai fans have the fewest or even almost none.

So although Zheng Qian is setting foot on the land of Thailand for the first time, fans and friends who like Zheng Qian are almost all in response to the call through Internet communication.

Hearing that Zheng Qian was coming to Bangkok for a concert, almost all the fans in Bangkok rushed to support.

Zheng Qian was really moved again.

In the past few days, he has been flying to various countries in a row, and the fans in Thailand have impressed him the most.

When I first landed, I was still a little disappointed when I couldn't see a single fan.

But now, this huge contrast has made Zheng Qian's heart hot, and when he signed, the pen was a little unstable, and he had almost zero contact with Thai fans.

Whether it was a handshake or a hug, or a group photo, Zheng Qian readily agreed.

He took a closer look, almost more than 90% of his fans in Thailand are girls, all in their teens, young and beautiful, lively and cute, all of them are wearing braces, they look a little fierce, but when they talk about Thai, they are soft.

It doesn't matter if it's male or female, the pronunciation is jaw.

This made Zheng Qian a little curious about how they quarreled......

The two-hour signing time was fleeting, but Zheng Qian rarely did not leave on time, but extended the signing by another half an hour, which made Thai fans happy, and they kept "yes yes".

Finally, the signing session ended.

Zheng Qian kneaded his sore arm, got up and waved goodbye to the little fans in Thailand, and said in English: "Friends, we'll see you next time!"

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Qian saw a little girl at the front of the line crying.

Seeing that it was her turn, she didn't expect it to end like this.

Zheng Qian just lifted his foot and didn't take two steps, and finally turned around, asked Wang Gang for an autograph pen, and signed his name for the album in the girl's hand, looking at the girl's surprised appearance, Zheng Qian smiled and waved, no longer lingered, and turned to leave.

In the crowd before and after, Zheng Qian finally broke away from the huge fan team.

Looking at the appearance of many fans waving goodbye outside the car window, not to mention, it was quite sad to have relatives.

It would be nice if the fans all over the world were like this.

At this point, the trip to Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand is over, and next, Zheng Qian will go to Japan, South Korea and Australia for signing.

This time it's South Korea.

After a short rest, Zheng Qian and others arrived in Seoul, South Korea the next day.

Seoul was later known as Seoul.

At present, South Korea has drafted a document to change the name of the capital, but the implementation will not be implemented until January 2005.

Before that, Seoul was still called Seoul.

The word Seoul means "capital" in Korean, and the current South Korea is implementing a policy of "de-sinicization", and Koreans neither want to retain the memory of being ruled by Japan, nor do they want to restore the memory of being a vassal to China in ancient times, so they call it the capital "Seoul" directly.

Zheng Qian stayed here for five full years.

Although he spends almost all of his time practicing and studying, he is also very familiar with several of Seoul's famous shopping streets.

For example, the commercial street of Myeongdong, Hongdae Pedestrian Street, and the famous Gangnam nightclub.

This time, the signing will be arranged at a video store near Ewha Womans University.

The shop is huge, with four floors in total and looks upscale in its décor.

It has always been the first choice for Korean singers and writers to hold book signings.

South Korea's entertainment industry is more developed and the competition is fierce, so everything at the book signing is very different from in other countries.

After fans buy an album, they will register their information at the place of purchase, leaving their phone number and name, etc.

The night before the signing, the organizer will randomly select the lucky spot.

The more albums a customer buys, the better the odds of winning.

Once you win the lottery, you will have the opportunity to come to the signing event on site.

During the signing process, it is not allowed to take pictures, not even hugs, only to shake hands and say hello.

After the signing, the official will arrange time dedicated to the collective communication between the singer and the fans, as well as the time for taking pictures.

Sometimes we play mini-games together.

Everything has a fixed template, which is very formalized, and the work efficiency and safety have also been greatly improved.

For singers, the only regret may be that they can't see the crazy gathering of fans in Thailand, Vietnam and other places.

After all, there are too many "Anti fans" in South Korea, and it is a trivial matter to oppose fans spitting on idols in public.

Some radicals can even draw their swords against each other, which is absolutely jaw-dropping.

It is worth mentioning that many old fans of Zheng Qian came to the signing meeting.

These people are all fans of the Miracle Boy period, but I didn't expect them to be so affectionate.

You know, Wonder Boy has been disbanded for three years.

In addition, Zheng Qian also has a lot of new fans, because this album has the song "Opera 2", so it has also attracted the attention of many people.

The song "Opera 2" was unexpectedly very popular internationally, and Zheng Qian's high voice conquered international friends.

However, not many people know that this song is from a Chinese singer, so much so that many people are asking netizens in Russia, Ukraine and other countries about this song - naturally they don't know about it.

In addition, the pure music song "Dance of the Goddess" has also been liked by many people and has become widely popular internationally.

However, no one knew that the song was written by a Chinese singer.

This shows that there is a long way to go for domestic publicity......

Soon, the signing session began.

There are a total of 200 lucky fans fixed on the spot.

It seems that there are not many people, which makes Zheng Qian have a lot less psychological pressure.

After signing the name, there was still time left to take a group photo and have a Q&A session with fans.

Zheng Qian was very surprised, he had also held a signing meeting when he was in the group before, but it was not as formal as it is now.

Under the warm lighting, the atmosphere is full of harmony.

During the fan Q&A session, someone asked: "Zheng Qian, what I want to ask is, why did you leave JY in the first place, we all know that after the disbandment of Miracle Boy, for a long time, we didn't have news from you." ”

Everyone looked at it.

Zheng Qian muttered: "At that time, because of the contract problem, you should know how harsh PY's contract was, I didn't show the corresponding commercial value at that time, so I never had the resources to contact, and then after graduating from university, I returned to China and started as a singer again." ”

The man sighed: "It's a pity, with the talent you are showing now, if the president of Xiang PY at that time could have a discerning eye, there would definitely be a place for you in the current Korean music scene." ”

Zheng Qian smiled: "Some things are based on the right time, place and people, and they can't be forced." ”

Subsequently, Zheng Qian answered a few more questions, and suddenly someone asked, "Did you really pursue Han Yun'e when you were a trainee in PY?"

"Nope!"

Zheng Qian shook his head and said, "Miss Han Yun'e may be mistaken, there were two Chinese members of the Miracle Boys at that time—I wasn't very familiar with Miss Han Yun'e when I was in PY. ”

Everyone looked stunned.

Another Chinese member, Cao Wei?

The store manager was surprised: "Ah, I really didn't expect Han Yun'e to ...... She probably remembered it wrong, who knows!

Quite a few people laughed.

Zheng Qian also laughed.

He doesn't care much about the Korean market, even if he offends Han Yun'e or even PY Company, it's not a big deal, and there was a gap between them because of the overlord contract.

Zheng Qian was actually a little lucky.

Fortunately, the contract was signed early, the contract was not too harsh, and all the expenses incurred during the practice were also paid by the brokerage company.

If you put it now, not to mention the eight or ten years at every turn, the liquidated damages for ordinary artists alone are as high as millions of yuan.

In 2004, millions of renminbi was not a small amount.

Generally speaking, after Korean trainees join the company, they will be trained by the company with a lot of money.

But this heavy sum of money is not for nothing, but it is equivalent to a loan for trainees.

After the trainee debuts, the remuneration earned will be fully repaid for the loan.

If you don't make your debut, you will be burdened with hundreds of thousands of yuan of debts from the brokerage company.

And even after the debut, all the announcement fees, labor fees, etc., the share ratio is pitiful, only 10%.

If it's a combination, it's even worse, 10% is divided equally among everyone's heads, and there is not much left.

There are even some groups that debuted for a year, but in the end they can't even pay the rent.

This is the cruelty of the Korean entertainment industry.

Even more disgusting is the gloom that floats beneath the surface.

For example, in the previous life, the Korean artist Zhang Ziyan was held hostage in the company, humiliated, and forced to carry out various X transactions, but he still did not dare to resist the breach of contract, because the liquidated damages were as high as one billion won.

At that time, it was equivalent to more than 3 million yuan.

Later, he finally couldn't bear the insult and died in purple, which caused a huge sensation at the time.

However, the offender is only given a two-year suspended sentence – a suspended sentence that means that if he does not reoffend again during the probationary period, the original sentence may not be enforced, which is almost the same as no punishment

Therefore, as a singer and an artist, Zheng Qian really has no good impression of the Korean entertainment industry, and he doesn't care about the market here at all.

And the further back it goes, the more demanding the contracts of Korean artists become.

Therefore, even if the president of PY is in front of him now, Zheng Qian dares to slap the table and stare at his old club, let alone just Han Yun'e, an artist under PY.

At this point, the two hours scheduled for the signing session have been exhausted.

Zheng Qian got up to say goodbye.

Korean fans are relatively calm, and there is no screaming and cheering from beginning to end.

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that these fans are very selective.

In addition, Zheng Qian also found that Korean fans prefer the album "Humble Son".

Because almost everyone in the songs on the album can hum a few words, this makes Zheng Qian sigh that Hong Kong, a cultural window, is too important, and the scope of radiation is really too wide.

If it is released in the mainland, "The Humble Son" will definitely not have the opportunity to cross the ocean and sing in a foreign country.

The next stop is Yuben, and the last stop in a foreign land.

Zheng Qian did not delay, and after resting, he flew to Tokyo in the afternoon of the same day.

In the past few days, Zheng Qian's signing activities have hardly rested, either on the plane or on the way to catch the plane, he is really tired, so he just landed in Tokyo, said hello to Chen Zongze and others, and hid in the hotel room to fall asleep.

The signing is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

So tonight, he'll spend the night in Tokyo.

"Knock Knock"

There was a knock on the door.

Zheng Qian opened his eyes and glanced at his watch, it was six o'clock in the evening Tokyo time, and it was not yet dark.

He yawned and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a girl in a JK short skirt covered her face and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Zheng Jun, guess who I am!"
