In view of the huge publicity success of Noriko Sakai's "さよならの夏~コクリコ坂から~/Farewell to Summer", Weixiong's first English-language album "My Heart is Eternal" adopted the same publicity method and released his first English-language single on August 15.

"SeasonsintheSun" was carefully selected by Wei Xiong from the album, the tune is light and cheerful, and now it's August, and the title of the song coincides with the summer sun of the moment, and he is confident that this single will get him off to a good start.

Sure enough, it sold a horrific 22,418 copies in Hong Kong on the first day of release, which is equivalent to selling one in less than 4 seconds, knowing that it is just a single. So when Media Asia Records announced this data the next day, the uproar caused was understandable.

As a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural cosmopolitan city and a British colony, English albums have been selling well in Hong Kong, but the top sellers are still Cantonese albums, even before Wei Xiong's debut, but this situation has been broken.

When it was rumored that Wei Xiong would release his first English album, the outside world expected that this album would be a big hit, but who knew the fact that they still underestimated Wei Xiong's appeal, a single, or an English single, actually sold more than 20,000 copies in Hong Kong in one day?

What could be crazier than this? There is no doubt that Wei Xiong has once again set a record, a record that will be difficult for future generations to surpass. Judging from the current situation, when "My Heart Eternal" is officially launched, it will set off a crazy sales boom again.

In addition to Hong Kong, the single has continued to sell well in Taiwan and Southeast Asia since day one, and has even sold well in Japan and South Korea. However, this is not surprising, after all, East Asia is the traditional coverage area of Hong Kong's entertainment industry.

However, SeasonsintheSun was not released only in Asia, but was released in North America and Europe just two days apart, and sales quickly increased due to the expansion of the campaign, which in turn boosted the publicity efforts.

The two complement each other. Originally, Wei Xiong wanted to release another single, but the cost of global distribution was too great, so he thought about it carefully, so he finally dismissed this idea, and then officially released "My Heart is Eternal" globally on September 8.

As expected, the album ushered in a sales boom as soon as it was released, and Wei Xiong's singing voice once again filled every corner, the difference is that this time not only Hong Kong, not only Taiwan, not only Japan and South Korea, but also many developed countries such as North America and Europe.

Before this, there may have been many blonde and blue-eyed crooked nuts who knew that Hong Kong in the East had produced such a musical genius as Wei Xiong, but compared to hundreds of millions of people in North America and Europe, it was a minority after all. Even so, the sense of cultural superiority has made most of these few habitually despise or even ignore Wei Xiong. But now, the release of "My Heart Is Eternal" has completely changed that situation.

There were long queues in front of many video stores, not to buy Michael Jackson or Madonna albums, but to Wei Xiong's albums. It is clear that the whirlwind that once ravaged Asia has crossed the ocean and descended on the land of Europe in North America.

A month after the album's release, "My Heart Forever" has topped the charts in various countries, most notably at No. 5 in North America and at No. 5 in the UK Music Chart, the best ever for an album from Asia.

Major newspapers in Europe and the United States have reported one after another, among which the British "Times" said in a shocked tone: "I really can't believe that the album of a singer from Hong Kong has become the champion of the British music charts in just over a month, and judging from the current sales trend, this ranking is very likely to be maintained until the end of the year, that is, to become the champion of the British music charts in 1986." ”

"It was the fans in the UK who made this miracle possible, just because Wei Xiong brought them an auditory feast, "mylove", "YOURAISEMEUP", "SeasonsintheSun", ...... Every song is a classic, and everyone can find a favorite song from the album...... There is no doubt that Wei Xiong's talent is amazing. ”

The Los Angeles Times, which once hailed Wei Xiong as the 'Asian God of Songs', also did not hesitate to praise his words, perhaps more like praising his foresight: "Obviously, Wei Xiong is not satisfied with becoming the 'Asian God of Songs', and more than a month ago, he came to North America with his first English-language album "My Heart is Eternal", and then swept the North American record market with a strong posture in a stunned state. ”

"Although the album has only reached number five in the North American music charts so far, let's not forget that it has only been on the market for a little over a month and has just reached its peak sales season. By the end of the year, the album's sales may be several times or even dozens of times the current one......"

As the Los Angeles Times put it, over time, "My Heart Forever" sold strongly, officially topping the North American music charts at the end of November, and causing a shock throughout Hollywood by a large margin of sales figures ahead of the second place.

Of course, this is an afterthought, at this time Wei Xiong is busy with his global propaganda journey, saying that since the global synchronous press conference held in New York on September 8, the history of more than a month of publicity began, the first stop is New York, followed by Washington-Don, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

It took a total of 10 days in four cities and 8 book signings, and Sony originally hoped that he could hold a fan meeting and sing songs on the spot, so as to maximize the publicity effect, but Wei Xiong insisted on his principles and directly rejected Sony's proposal.

After the end of the American publicity, Wei Xiong crossed the Atlantic, came to London, the capital of the United Kingdom, and held three book signing sessions in London, at this time the album sales situation has been opened, and Wei Xiong's singing can be heard everywhere on the street, so the popularity of the book signing is as high as in the United States, the venue is full, and the fans are too enthusiastic, and the last three signing sessions have to be extended.

If Wei Xiong's physique is not what it used to be, there is really no way to persevere. During the period, he also accepted an exclusive interview with Star TV, and it is worth mentioning that he was interviewed by a blonde beauty, and this blonde beauty is still his fan, and frequently discharged to him during the interview.

After the interview, he directly invited him to dinner, looking at that, as long as he nodded, it is estimated that a romantic dew marriage is indispensable. Of course, he must have refused, and although he liked beautiful women as much as most men, he was not hungry enough to eat.

After a three-day stay in London, Wei Xiong came to the next stop, Paris, France, perhaps because of the French character, although the album sold no less in France than in the UK, but the enthusiasm shown was different from that of the British, there was a kind of casualness and rationality in it.

The intuitive performance is that the whole signing meeting is orderly, there is no noise or cheers, just like an ordinary signing meeting, and in the end, the time of the signing meeting is not extended, which makes Wei Xiong, who came to France for the first time, have a very good impression of the French.

According to the propaganda plan, after the end of his trip to Paris, his next stop was West Germany, then Italy, then Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and other Asian countries, but after the propaganda ended, he did not immediately go to West Germany, but went to the southern French city of Marseille.

"Here it is. As soon as Wei Xiong came out of the exit of the airport, he saw Zhou Huimin waving at him, and immediately stepped forward, hugged Zhou Huimin, and then kissed the beautiful woman's fragrant lips, not caring about the surrounding eyes at all, in fact, no one paid attention to them.

You know, this is France, and in the eyes of the romantic French, kissing in the street is nothing at all. As for whether he will be recognized, not to mention that he is wearing sunglasses on his face, even if he is not wearing them, there are probably few people who can be sure that he is 'Wei Xiong' on this occasion.

In the same way that a yellow person sees a white person as having face blindness (it feels like most people look the same), the same is true when a white person looks at a yellow person.

"Have you had fun these days?" As soon as he got into the car, Wei Xiong asked with a smile, Zhou Huimin came to Marseille a few days earlier than him, and he has been playing around these days. Of course, Zhou Huimin was not alone, but followed the film crew of "Twelve Legends".

In other words, this "Twelve Legends" is the entertainment program that Wei Xiong mentioned in front of Shao Yifu that day, the core of the program is the food with history or stories in various places, with games and tasks as the main form of expression, which is fundamentally different from previous food programs.

This time, he took advantage of the promotion in France and planned to record the first episode of the show, and the food he chose was naturally the traditional French cuisine.

"Hmm. Zhou Huimin nodded happily: "The scenery here is really beautiful, and the atmosphere is much different from Hong Kong, it is a good place for vacation." Originally, I wanted to go to Avignon, and I heard that the scenery there was more beautiful, but I was alone, so it was quite boring. ”

"I've heard that Avignon is good, and I'll go there with you for a holiday when I'm done. Wei Xiong touched Zhou Huimin's face, he really felt that he should take a vacation, no matter how much money he made, he just wanted to enjoy life, but he couldn't put the cart before the horse.

"That's what you said, don't talk and don't talk. In fact, as long as he can be with Wei Xiong, Zhou Huimin doesn't care where he is.

"Make sure you talk the talk. Wei Xiong smiled, and then changed the topic: "Have I read all the plans I gave you? Although you can play freely during recording, you have to figure out the form of the program, so that the amount of film that is cut out can be reduced during post-editing." ”
