791 [Record Sale]
Early in the morning of January 1, 1992.
"Didi ......"
"Horn ......"
"Give way, give way!"
"Get out of the way!"
“……”
The sound of horns, shouting and scolding, and noisy quarrels rang out, and the five sections of Xinyi Road were full of heads. Several traffic policemen were busy sweating profusely, but no matter how they tried to clear them, the streets were still jammed.
A driver stuck out his head and asked passers-by, "Is there a march ahead?" ”
The passer-by said, "What kind of parade, it's Jun Ye who wants to sign records." ”
"Selling records and blocking so many people?" The driver was stunned for a moment, and said rudely, "Fuck your mother, there are at least tens of thousands of people, and the road is blocked." ”
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A team of traffic policemen who had been transferred from nowhere trotted over, whistled and shouted with a loudspeaker, "Get out of the way of the people in front, don't block the traffic......
The people who crowded onto the road were driven back to both sides of the road, and the traffic police struggled to move forward through the cracks of the car, and finally came to the road in front of the Wang building for a long time. There seemed to be a conflict over there, and everyone was huddled in a pile and shouted, blocking all the vehicles.
In a car outside the long queue of cars, Bai Muyang was holding a big brother and was calling in a mocking tone: "Master Jun, you are really charming, as soon as the fans came, the traffic jams were blocked on Renai Road and Guangfu South Road." ”
Wang Zijun's helpless voice came from the phone: "I'm taking the road of loyalty and filial piety." The speed of the car here has also slowed down, so I hope it doesn't get blocked. ”
Bai Muyang said: "Why don't you just cancel the signing event, I just called the police station to ask, and said that it will take at least four or five hours to dredge." If there are still fans who continue to gather there, then this large area of traffic will be directly paralyzed, and it will have to be blocked all day. ”
"You can't cancel it, let's change the time and place temporarily." Wang Zijun sighed.
"That's all there is to it." Bai Muyang said, "Otherwise, the company in the entire building would not be able to work today." ”
Wang Zijun hung up the phone and said to the driver: "Amai, drive back, this morning's event has been canceled." ”
Lin Qingxia, who was sitting next to Wang Zijun, said, "What are you going to do when you drive back?" I still have to go to work. ”
"The traffic is paralyzed, you run to the company?" Wang Zijun asked with a smile.
Lin Qingxia gave Wang Zijun a roll of his eyes: "It's not you yet?" I don't know how to arrange the signing event first, and now it is delaying the time of so many people. ”
Wang Zijun could only accept his wife's criticism with a wry smile, more than a year ago, the Little Tigers held a marathon signing event at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and 20,000 or 30,000 fans came at once, which directly paralyzed local traffic, and the event had to be temporarily canceled.
Wang Zijun is more attractive, and Rolling Stone Records, which was in charge of the signing activities in advance, also made arrangements in advance, and also contacted the traffic police to help guide traffic. It's just that they still underestimate the number of fans, especially this is Wang Zijun's last record signing, many people even drove over from Tainan, and now there are 50,000 or 60,000 fans gathering on Xinyi Road, and the number of fans is still increasing.
Many of these fans came by car, and some came by taxi. There is not so much parking in the parking lot of the Wang Building. As a result, all kinds of vehicles are parked indiscriminately, and the back ones are congested on the road, so that many taxis in front of them cannot get out. The traffic was paralyzed, and the traffic was paralyzed, and the traffic was spread like a plague to other nearby sections.
Wang Zijun picked up Big Brother, dialed several calls in a row, and finally called Rolling Stone Records: "Ah Yi, you find someone to contact the media and fans, and say that my signing event will be changed to the side of the Red House Square in Ximending Town for ......"
"Red Mansion Square?" Duan Zhongyi was surprised. A major fire broke out at the Ximen Market more than a month ago, and although the Red House was not damaged, a large number of illegal buildings and hawker stalls in the Red House Square and around the Ximen Market were burned and are still in a semi-ruined state.
Wang Zijun said speechlessly: "Otherwise, you suddenly go to a place with convenient transportation and can be stuffed with tens of thousands of people?" ”
Duan Zhongyi was silent for a moment, and could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll send someone to prepare it right away." ”
But it was said that on the side of the Wang Building, the fans who crowded into the [***] square were both happy and worried. Naturally, they are happy that they are the first to come first, and they have a better chance to get a limited edition record signing, but the worry is that the main owner Wang Zijun is blocked outside and can't enter, maybe this signing event will be canceled.
It was not only the fans who were half-sad and half-happy, but also the reporters who blocked in front of the Wang building or halfway through. They were originally going to interview Wang Zijun's signing event today, but now they have nothing to do, and they began to interview the traffic jam one by one.
"Hello, may I ask what is this gentleman's surname?"
"Your surname is Liu."
"Hello Mr. Liu, are you a fan of Wang Zijun?"
"It's been almost twenty years of hardcore fandom."
"Then are you happy that Jun Ye will release a new album this time?"
"Why are you not happy? I haven't released a new album for several years, but now it's finally here, and I came from Kaohsiung. ”
“……”
"Hello this gentleman, are you also a fan of Jun Ye?"
"Fuck the fans, I'm going to deliver to the East Gate, and now I'm stuck here and can't get out! Wang Zijun's fans are all dying! ”
“……”
"Hello this young lady."
"Thunder Monkey."
"You're from Hong Kong?"
"Hma Si?"
"Well, do you speak Chinese?"
"Not so."
“@¥%#¥%¥#%……”
The blocked drivers cursed each other, the fans argued in anxious waiting, the reporters were idle, and the traffic police were shouting to clear the traffic, the scene was completely chaotic.
"What? The signing was changed to Red House Square! ”
"Okay, I'll run out right away, and you guys will get the car ready over there."
“……”
The reporter who received the news was moved by the wind and squeezed through the crowd of traffic towards Ximending.
Not long after, the employees of Rolling Stone Records came out with a loudspeaker and said, "Fans and friends are quiet...... Due to the blockage of the road, Mr. Wang Zijun was unable to come over...... Therefore, the signing location was temporarily changed to Red House Square...... In order to apologize, the number of record signings has increased from 3,000 to 4,000, and fans and friends who are now in the top 100 can receive a free ticket to Junye's farewell concert in five months......"
As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar, and many fans were tired for a long time and found that they ran in vain, so angry that they threw the drink bottle in their hands directly at the staff. And some fans outside turned around and ran to Ximending. As for the fans who came by car, there was no way to think about it, unless they also left their cars and walked out to get a ride.
Three hours later, the traffic jam on Xinyi Road had not been completely evacuated, and Wang Zijun had already started signing in Ximending. After signing for several hours in a row, Wang Zijun's hands were soft, and he finally got the 4,000 tickets completely.
At this time, the Red Mansion Square was also crowded, and if it weren't for the traffic police acting in advance, the sections of the road to Ximending would probably have to be blocked for a while.
On the first day of the new album's release, more than 80,000 copies were sold in Taiwan and more than 30,000 copies were sold in Hong Kong. This achievement once again shook the music scene in the two places, this is the first box office, the most popular singer or group in Hong Kong and Taiwan at this time, and its record sales results were also left far behind by Wang Zijun.
Wang Zijun's new record sales are already equivalent to more than half of the first week sales of other top singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In many audio stores, Wang Zijun's new album was put on the shelves in the morning, and it was sold out directly in the afternoon, so he had to buy it again.
In just one week, Hong Kong's four major music charts (RTHK Chinese Song Dragon and Tiger List, TVB TV Gold Chart, Commercial Radio Music Pop Chart, Jiayi TV Pop Gold Chart) were directly brushed by Wang Zijun. The 8 songs in the new album are all on the list, and most of them are in the top ten, and at a glance they are all Wang Zijun's name.
Just a week after the release of the new album, the famous Taiwanese female writer Sanmao passed away, and countless people spontaneously mourned it. When mourning Sanmao, everyone chose to play the song "Dream Chaser" without exception. Because in the parallel space, Luo Dayou created "Dream Chaser", which originally meant to commemorate his friend Sanmao, and some of the lyrics are simply a portrayal of Sanmao's experience.
"Let the wandering footprints write permanent memories in the desert, the handwriting that floats is the deep passion of your heart, who wanders in the voice of the past and the future, and laughs infatuated at my mortal care ...... the end of the world"
In Taiwan, whether you're shopping in a mall or taking a taxi, for a long time, your ears are full of the song of "Dream Chaser". Even if it's not "Dream Chaser", it's other new songs from Wang Zijun's new album.
In Hong Kong, men, women and children keep humming "Queen's Road East" because the lyrics of this song are really sung into the hearts of the Hong Kong public.
Just the ambiguous lyrics have made music critics from all walks of life earn a lot of money, and each lyric has been interpreted as if they don't know how many meanings.
The song "Queen's Road East" has obviously become a phenomenal song, not only for the public to discuss, but also for several radio and television stations in Hong Kong to serve as a special topic, from which the topic of Hong Kong's return to the motherland has been deduced from the topic of the whole song.
Hong Kong's "Ming Pao Weekly" wrote: "Wang Zijun, who has not published an album for several years, is obviously not exhausted. Not only did all the songs in the album dominate the four major music charts, but the song "Queen's Road East" made Hong Kong boil. The kind of wanton ridicule in the lyrics makes people laugh, and the lyrics that seem to be saliva vernacular imply Wang Zijun's views and opinions on the future of Hong Kong, and this kind of view is just in line with the worries of the citizens, and it will inevitably have an uncontrollable effect......"
