Chapter 266 [Fame, Red Task]
Liang Kun's achievements made Alan Tam feel jealous. He left him a message online, saying that he would treat him next time he met. "Principal Tan" has posted a disc in Japan, which is not up to date, has no sales record, no award record, and nothing.
"Tan and Zhang Zhengba" are very famous, but neither Alan Tam nor Zhang Guorong have proved himself in Japan. Zhang Guorong held a concert in Japan, but his popularity comes from acting, and most of the fans go there.
Andy Lau, Li Keqin, Gigi Leung and others also left messages to Liang Kun online, all of whom were shocked by his achievements.
Even though Andy Lau has been named the most popular Hong Kong star in Japan for many years, he is not as popular as Liang Kun. He believes that Liang Kun will definitely be ahead of him in the next selection.
The Chinese "Jelly" are so happy that they discuss Liang Kun's affairs online every day. There is no hot search ranking yet, so if there is, he will definitely be the number one.
"Some people always think that they understand music very well, saying that Liang Kun is not good at singing and playing musical instruments. If he had no strength, he could be friends with Li Keqin, Wang Fei, Andy Lau, and Ayumi Hamasaki? Ayumi Hamasaki only stayed in Xiangjiang for a few days and had a vision than countless Chinese musicians. She had seen that Liang Kun's future achievements would not be worse than himself, so she liked him so much."
"I didn't believe Liang Kun could achieve 2 million sales before. My vision was too narrow-minded. I thought that no one could do it before, and he wouldn't have it. Facts proved that Kun Shen said 2 million is a low-key one, and it could be 2 million in two weeks."
"I believe Liang Kun said that his future goal is to go to the United States is to be both the Oscar winner and the Grammy Awards. But it doesn't matter if he is on the Billboard Top 100. I don't feel surprised that he won the gold medal in the Olympic boxing competition in 2004. He is just a person who does what he says. I believe he says he is an alien."
"A Yu came to Yanjing in the middle of September. I wonder if he will sing with Brother Kun again. How is the Japanese concert sing? Does anyone know?"
Because of Liang Kun, Ayumi Hamasaki and him have attracted the attention of young Chinese people, and more and more people like her. Without preparation, she opened up the Chinese market.
In the past, mainland fans discussed music, and Japanese singers probably didn't even have the qualifications to carry shoes to Wang Fei. "Me" was praised as sales of thousands of people believed it. You should know that "Final Fantasy 8" games have not sold so many.
Now another voice appears on the Internet. Many people admit that Ayumi Hamasaki is an Asian queen, and some people think she is better than Wang Fei. It’s not that she sings better, but that she has a greater influence in Asia than Wang Fei.
The down-to-earth name "A Yu" has also spread, and Liang Kun and his friends helped her significantly increase her popularity.
The next week, Liang Kun's album sales continued to soar, with sales reaching 2 million in two weeks.
Although sales dropped slightly from the first week, he really completed the goal he set in just two weeks. Huaguo no longer mocked Liang Kun for his daydreaming, and many passers-by even "Liang Hei" turned into fans.
It is not only his own pure music album, but also Gigi Leung's contribution. Gigi Leung's new album "Meet" was also released in early July.
Her company deliberately chose this time period to release the album in order to borrow Liang Kun's east wind. Liang Kun doesn't sing, and those who want to listen to his songs will consider listening to the songs he wrote for others.
As expected, Gigi Leung's album sales were very high and the quality of the songs did not disappoint. Leung's fans all said that his songs continued their previous level.
The title song "Meet" quickly became popular in the mainland and became Gigi Leung's new masterpiece, helping her get out of the trough and her popularity rebounded sharply.
The second most popular one is "The Sun Still Sets", because of the lyrics and news predict that she and Zheng Yijian are preparing to get married soon.
Gigi Leung's version of "It's a pity that it's not you", the Cantonese song "The Terminal of the Merry-go-round", and the "Dark Fragrance" she and Liang Kun also received high praise.
There are a total of ten songs on this album by Gigi Leung, half of which are written by Liang Kun. Because of this, some media have thought that they have a different relationship.
In contrast, "The Legend of Gao Mei" written by Gigi Leung seems to be relatively ordinary. Many people predict that among the top ten songs of Hong Kong released at the beginning of next year, Liang Kun will definitely have more than one song.
Aihui Company has not arranged a concert for Liang Kun for the time being. The sales volume is so high that it must first so that it will attract the appetite of fans.
The concert was not open and the exposure rate was not small, so Matsuura Katsuto suggested that Liang Kun attend the Hamasaki Ayuki's tour and be a guest again. This time, he went to Ayuki Hamasaki's hometown Fukuoka.
Ayumi Hamasaki's single ep "H" has been released. The cover photo is beautiful, she wore the iconic beggar jeans and only wore a yellow bikini on her upper body, sitting on a motorcycle by the beach. Like "A", the cover of the ep uses a special "h" symbol taken from the letters of her name "hamasaki".
"H" was sold very high as soon as it was released. Liang Kun was a guest at this time to add color to the concert. Ai Hui hopes that Ayumi Hamasaki can suppress Utada Hikari this year.
This year she had a big opportunity. 19-year-old Mitsuki Utada is preparing to get married, and she is 34-year-old photographer Kazuaki Kiriya.
Kiriya and Aki are 15 years older than Utada Eyeong. When Xiong Kuang fell ill in May this year, he kept comforting and taking care of her, which moved her very much. Utada Hikaru once said to his friends: "If I weren't by my side, my illness wouldn't have recovered so quickly." When she was most depressed, Hikaru became her spiritual pillar, and their relationship has improved rapidly.
Their relationship has also been questioned by many outsiders, and no one is optimistic about the relationship between strong women and weak men. Many people call Utada Hikari a powerful singer, but no matter how strong they are, getting married so early will make many people "dismiss fans". This is obviously an impulse, and it would be strange if they can be happy.
Liang Kun knew that this was indeed Ayumi Hamasaki's opportunity, but she was not sure about it in the parallel world. She didn't produce any good songs in 2003, and her workload decreased, but her popularity declined.
In addition to having good works, singers also need luck. Ayumi Hamasaki's popularity is reduced because of Ai Hui's internal competition.
Starting from 2003, Ai Otsuka, Mika Nakajima, Boa and others emerged, and Ayumi Hamasaki's popularity was affected.
In 2005, Ai Hui's "sexy singer" Yukimi Yuki became popular, which even half of Hamasaki's popularity. In fact, a large part of Yukimi Yuki's fans were fans of Aiki.
Namie Amuro's popularity has also rebounded sharply since 2005. In 2008, the selected products sold for 1.6 million yuan.
Liang Kun arrived in Fukuoka one day in advance and was going to participate in the concert rehearsal in the evening.
When they met at noon, he found that Ayumi Hamasaki's eyes were all out, and she looked a little haggard without makeup, her eyes were invisible and her soul was lost. "I haven't seen each other for half a month, why are you like this?"
"I ran to several places and couldn't rest well... What should I do? I may not be able to sing well this time." Ayumi Hamasaki's eyes were tearful and lay down in Liang Kun's arms, his voice a little hoarse.
"Don't be afraid, you have to have confidence and you will definitely be able to sing well." Liang Kun said with a smile.
The female assistant sighed, "I want to go out, you guys talk."
The old acquaintance manager Ishida Takaichi, who was following Ayumi Hamasaki, greeted Liang Kun and silently left the room.
They looked bad because Akira Hamasaki's voice had a problem and she had been tired of overwork recently. Although the concert tickets were sold out, fans would be disappointed if she couldn't sing well, which would affect her popularity.
Liang Kun experienced the sorrow of a big star for the first time, and was pushed forward by the agency and could not stop. Ayumi Hamasaki could only keep making money for the company until she finally exhausted herself.
If she was a singer-songwriter, she would only produce fine products to ensure the quality of the album, and she would not have to be so tired. But Ai Hui Company arranged for her an idol path, not only to produce albums, but also to hold a lot of concerts.
In the parallel world, after Hamasaki Castle was hoarse in the concert, she didn't get well until she attended the Sino-Japanese Songs in Yanjing. She didn't say anything about her voice and singing skills. The whole song was so full that it was too sing, as if she read it instead of singing it.
This is a cycle of evil deeds. In order to find a feeling, she can practice singing and vomit. Singing has not been a pleasant thing for her recently. She held a concert just to arrange a company to force her fans.
In the past, the two were just friends, and Ayumi Hamasaki always wanted to let Liang Kun see her bright and beautiful side. Now that the two have become closer, she has shown her down-and-out side, hoping to get some comfort and support.
When she didn't have a boyfriend, she often got angry, made friends to regulate her emotions, went to gay bars to meet unthreatening male besties, drank and stopped drinking, etc., which was a vicious cycle.
Liang Kun remembered an American movie "The Queen of Prada" that has not yet started filming.
Many times we only see others' appearances bright and beautiful, but behind them are the efforts and courage you would never imagine. Not every girl wearing Prada can become a queen in the end.
Liang Kun would not persuade Ayumi Hamazaki to stop. This is the way she chose. He could not persuade her to let go of everything in order to show her concern. Words like "work less and take more vacations" are like standing and talking without back pain. When she reaches her level, how can she let go just by saying that?
The two hugged each other on the sofa for a while, quietly not talking. Liang Kun summoned the system and found that Ayumi Hamasaki had issued a new task, and it was two.
Red Mission: "Ayuki Hamasaki wants to defeat Utada Hikaru to become the number one singer in Japan and then become the first day in Asia. She wrote at least four good songs for her, which was widely recognized by Chinese fans and helped her to further her career complete her mission."
Orange Mission: "Ayuki Hamasaki's voice is hoarse, she has no confidence in the final castle concert tomorrow, so she can help her hold this hometown concert to complete the task."
On stage, Ayumi Hamasaki performed very poorly in Nagoya, with a hoarse voice and a distorted sound, and she cried during the concert. Liang Kun knew that she could not help her with ordinary methods. She didn't have any throat problems with encouragement, but he took over both tasks.
Ayumi Hamasaki hugged him for a while and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
"I'm thinking about how to help you..."
