This book has 200,000 manuscripts, so you can read it with confidence and will not be a eunuch.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Le Zhenghong glanced at the newspaper and said with a smile: "This is the newspaper the day before yesterday, I read it, and I'm afraid that "Oriental Daily" has put a lot of effort into it. ”
"I guess, I really didn't have any friends in college, and it's not easy to investigate so many things, but there are also fake ones in them. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's fake or not, it's all about increasing your exposure, and now that you've made the most popular entertainment headlines, the continued high-intensity exposure has played a huge role in stimulating the sales of the album, and there were more fans at the book signing on these two days than on the day of the press conference. ”
"Don't talk about it, there have been two signing sessions in a row, and my hand is about to break. Wei Xiong pinched his right wrist helplessly.
Since the official album launch on October 25, PolyGram held two album signing sessions in shopping malls in Central and Wan Chai on the 26th and 27th respectively.
And after every signing meeting, his hands are so sore that he can barely pick them up, thanks to his good body since he was a child, and he knows a little about Chinese medicine, he can massage his hands. But even so, now his right wrist is still faintly sore, and there is a feeling of not being able to exert himself.
"There's no way around it, you don't like to perform in public, so in order to improve the publicity effect, you can only use the form of a book signing to meet and interact with fans more, and at the same time increase exposure. So if you insist on it during this time, it will be easy to wait for the publicity period to pass. ”
Wei Xiong actually understands, otherwise he would not be so cooperative, for example, this time to Taiwan, the trip is a total of three days, but there are four signing sessions, two each in Taipei and Kaohsiung. In addition, he also has to participate in a TV show of China Television, called "Star Face to Face", which is an interview program just opened by Zhang Xiaoyan, the host of China Television. Originally, he didn't want to participate, but in the end, considering that if he didn't go on TV, it would really have a great impact on the publicity, so he agreed. But just this time, he pushed off all the other variety shows.
After the end of the propaganda in Taiwan, he had to go to Singapore and Malaysia, but fortunately the formation was very short, and it was just a signing meeting.
As the tremors subsided, the plane slowly stopped on the runway of Taipei Airport, this was Wei Xiong's second visit to Taipei, and unlike the last time, when he stepped out of the exit, many reporters and fans immediately rushed towards him, and the atmosphere was no less enthusiastic than that of Hong Kong.
But Le Zhenghong and others seemed to have expected it, and a few accompanying staff members immediately surrounded Wei Xiong in the middle, and after a while, more than a dozen security guards from the airport came to separate the reporters, fans, and Wei Xiong and others, and escorted Wei Xiong and others to the outside of the airport.
Since the airport was already full of people, there were so many people all of a sudden that the scene seemed a little chaotic. Wei Xiong was surrounded by everyone in the middle, and while slowly walking out, he smiled and waved gently to the fans around him, but turned a deaf ear to the reporter's questions.
"Whew, I'm tired to death, have Taiwanese been suppressed for too long, and they are more enthusiastic than Hong Kong people. Finally boarded the nanny car parked outside the airport and waited, Wei Xiong couldn't help but feel a sense of prostration, and then he turned his head to look at Le Zhenghong who was wiping his sweat: "It's okay for the reporter to come, after all, my itinerary has been announced, but it's a bit strange for so many fans, let me take a cursory look, let alone two or three hundred people." ”
"Although Taiwan has always been dominated by Chinese songs, as we expected, your album will be a hit as soon as it is released in Taiwan......"
Speaking of this, Le Zhenghong saw Wei Xiong roll his eyes, and had to put away those serious words: "Okay, to tell you the truth, these fans are organized by Taiwan, only in this way can you get the greatest attention for your trip to Taiwan, but you can rest assured that they are really your fans, the company just organized them, and they all came voluntarily." ”
And so it was!
Wei Xiong would not be surprised if so many fans came to the airport to greet him when he returned to Hong Kong, because the album had been released for a month before the initial promotion, which cultivated a large number of fans, and then the album was released, and the large-scale publicity began, which made his popularity skyrocket in just over a week. In terms of popularity alone, it is by no means inferior to those old music scenes.
However, Taiwan is different, and the album has only been released in Taiwan for four days today, even if he has absolute confidence in his album, there is always a process for everything, and with his current fame in Taiwan, I am afraid that so many fans will not be able to come to the airport to greet him.
Of course, this is just a propaganda ploy.
――
Arriving at the hotel, the group went to have lunch first, then went back to their rooms to rest, and at half past two in the afternoon, the group set off for Lotte Mall in Ximending, where the first signing session was held, starting at three o'clock in the afternoon and expected to end at half past five.
The hotel is not far from Ximending, and it didn't take long to arrive, and before he got out of the car, Wei Xiong saw through the glass that there were many young people gathered outside the mall, many of whom were holding music albums and his promotional posters, waiting for the arrival of their idols with anticipation.
The moment the car door opened, the otherwise quiet crowd immediately stirred, and some reporters who were mixed in with the crowd pressed their cameras wildly.
Wei Xiong stood and waved at the fans, and then quickly entered the mall under the escort of the security guard. When I entered the mall, I found that there were no fewer people inside than outside. Of course, there is a part of pure crush watching the excitement, and only those who hold the album are considered his loyal fans.
"Look, the album has been on the market for a short time, but you have a lot of fans in Taiwan. Le Zhenghong said softly, and Wei Xiong smiled slightly, which was a response.
There is a patio in the center of the mall, and a temporary stage was set up in the patio at this time, although the time was not yet three o'clock, but due to the venue restrictions, Wei Xiong did not rest anymore, and went directly to the stage with the microphone, and the fans below gradually quieted down when they saw this.
"I just came to Taipei more than a month ago, and it was that trip to Taipei that made me step into the music scene by chance, so I put the first stop of promotion outside Hong Kong in Taipei, thank you very much for coming, and I am very happy that you like my songs......"
