As Zhang Xiaoyan said, as time went by, "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" completely detonated the whole of Taiwan. Walking down the street, you can hear the songs on the album everywhere, and you can also see some trendy young people with a Walkman pinned to their waists (portable cassette players, which have been around since 1979), wearing headphones in their ears, listening to the music as they walk, and occasionally coming out of their mouths a strange Cantonese or two.

In karaoke, songs from albums such as "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf", "Red Sun", and "What to Ask for in Life" have become the most frequently watched songs. Although the vast majority of Taiwanese do not speak Cantonese, young people who go to karaoke still enjoy it.

After the latest episode of "Star Face-to-Face" was broadcast on November 8, this musical storm detonated by Wei Xiong was pushed to **.

Just because of the few songs that Wei Xiong sang improvised in the show, especially the song "Love When You Die", the hysterical cry ignited the passion and blood in everyone's hearts in an instant, and also made many people re-understand what real rock is.

Since the broadcast of the show, the phone number of the "Star Face-to-Face" program team has been blown up, and everyone has only one request - to replay the current issue of "Star Face-to-face", because "Dead to Love" has not yet been listed, and if you want to listen to it, you can only watch the current issue of "Star Face to Face".

This situation made Zhang Xiaoyan unexpected, and later because there were too many people who called the program team, China Television also felt that the ratings should be good if it was replayed, so it chose to rebroadcast it twice in the midnight period, and the ratings were very good, and it basically met the requirements of fans.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of replay, many people recorded songs through recording equipment, but how can the sound quality of the recording be compared with the sound quality of the genuine album, not to mention that the song was played on the spot when recording the program, and there are many flaws in itself, so the quality is much worse.

Of course, the quality is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the fans like it, and in this way, it has promoted the sales of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf", and a large number of people who did not buy it in the first place, because they listened to "Love When You Die", ran to buy the album.

In just two weeks, the sales of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" in Taiwan exceeded 300,000 copies, and when Hong Kong PolyGram announced this number to the media, it immediately caused a huge response in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

You must know that this number has only been created by Teresa Teng's album "Sweet Honey" released in 1979 before this, the difference is that "Sweet Honey" can sell more than 300,000 copies in two weeks, relying on local advantages and Teresa Teng's fame accumulated through years of hard work.

And Wei Xiong, as a newcomer, and "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" is a Cantonese album, which can sell 300,000 in two weeks, which can only be described as a miracle, I don't know how many people have broken their glasses. It is worth mentioning that "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" is still full of stamina. According to the sales chart, the daily sales of the album in Taiwan are still on the rise, and Hong Kong Polygram speculates that the Taiwan sales of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" are very likely to exceed 1 million copies within two months, and this number has escalated the discussion of "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" again.

Some Taiwanese media interviewed Luo Dayou, a famous music producer who happened to go back to Taiwan to visit relatives: "Mr. Luo, "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" sold 300,000 copies in Taiwan in just two weeks, and Hong Kong PolyGram even said that it could exceed 1 million copies within two months, what do you think?"

"It's not surprising, I received a call from a friend in Hong Kong this morning, "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" also sold more than 300,000 copies in Hong Kong, you have to know that Hong Kong is only 6 million people, less than one-third of Taiwan, how crazy it must be to have such sales, if you go to Hong Kong, you can really experience what it means to sing everywhere, which has never been done before. ”

"From a professional point of view, 'The Legend of the Hungry Wolf' is really a very good album, both in terms of the songs, and in terms of Wei Xiong's voice and singing skills, I think they are impeccable. I don't know if you have heard the song "Love When You Die" sung in China TV's program. ”

"That song is very demanding in terms of singing skills, especially the high notes. It cannot be said that there is no such thing as Hong Kong and Taiwan that can sing that effect, but it is definitely rare. Also, when singing this song, Wei Xiong's cooperation with the band is a bit rusty, there are many flaws that are obvious in the eyes of professional musicians, and the narrow environment of the studio is not suitable for singing rock songs. ”

Reporter: "You focused on "Love When You Die", can I understand it this way, you like this song very much, and you also respect this song. ”

"Of course, I really like this song, in fact, not only this song, but others such as "The Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and "Exaggeration" all use some novel creative techniques and musical elements, which have given me a lot of inspiration, and I really hope to have the opportunity to work with Wei Xiong. ”

……

In the case of good sales of the album, Wei Xiong ended the promotion of Southeast Asian countries, from the beginning of the press conference to the return to Hong Kong from Singapore, the whole publicity process lasted more than half a month, which was a big challenge for Wei Xiong, who had never had such a high-intensity work experience.

In fact, if other singers release records, the promotion period is far more than half a month, and the workload is much larger, such as holding fan meetings or appearing on TV entertainment programs, both of which are aimed at increasing exposure and promoting album sales.

After more than a week away from Hong Kong, when Wei Xiong stayed on Hong Kong soil again, he felt that the whole atmosphere had changed very subtly, although his return trip to Hong Kong was confidential, when he walked out of the airport, he still encountered many reporters who were squatting on guard. In addition, from the moment he walked out, many passers-by were saluting him along the way, and some of them were more enthusiastic, and they even ran up to him to ask for autographs.

"Xiongzai, I'm a reporter from "Today's Weekend", and you have achieved great results in your propaganda trip to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, what are your plans for the future?"

"You said on "Star Face" that the next album will be a Chinese album, and all the songs have been written, when will it be released?"

"Zhao Yazhi said in an interview with reporters that he admires your musical talent very much, and if he has the idea of releasing a record, he will definitely find you, will you really make an album for Zhao Yazhi?"
