Chapter 1368
The plane took off .
It was soaring tens of thousands of feet up in the air .
Ning Lan closed her eyes and slept .
Xu Meilan was reading a book .
Chen Guang and Zhao Wuliu were discussing tonight's music festival .
"Old Zhao, which song did you prepare?"
"'Bobo . '"
"Oh, that one . "
"There's some difficulty to it, so it will have to depend on my condition . What about you?"
"I don't really know too many heavy metal songs either . I'll probably go ahead with 'Chariot . '"
"Neither of us are true metal singers, so we'd be forcing ourselves to sing in that style . "
"But we have no heavy metal to call our own in China . "
"Yeah . Hai, in the end, we still have to do covers of other singers' songs . "
"There are some heavy metal songs that came out in our country in recent years, but they're still not mature enough to be called good . We're still starting, so let's take it slowly . I'm sure there will be a day when we can finally have good songs of our own . "
"Hopefully so . "
Zhang Ye was wearing an eye mask to nap and had overheard their conversation .
Surely not, right?
China does not have any heavy metal music to call its own?
Then what is the heavy metal scene like internationally?
He got curious about this . After all, he wasn't from this world and had slowly gotten to understand many matters in China . But there were still a lot of things he did not know about in the international scene . Since he was now thinking about aiming for the overseas market, he would naturally have to start getting a picture of how things worked abroad, especially for things like the style of music, as well as the culture . This was the other objective that Zhang Ye had for this trip to Korea . He was going to scout for intel .
An hour .
Two hours .
The plane landed . They had arrived in Korea .
Seoul .
The airport .
When they came out to Arrivals, they were met by someone from the charity banquet's organizers . Perhaps there was also a leak in the news, so a lot of Korean fans and Chinese international students could also be seen standing in wait .
"Ah!"
"Xu Meilan!"
"Xu Meilan!"
"Jiang Hanwei!"
"It's Xiaodong!"
A lot of people were shouting in Korean .
Many of them were even holding up signs and cheering for their idols .
Zhang Ye could not understand nor read the Korean letters, but he could still sense that no one was shouting his name . This showed that there was a significant drop in his popularity once he got out of China . In China, Zhang Ye was of equal status to Heavenly Queen Xu Meilan . He would have all kinds of fans surrounding him where he went, like at the airport lounge where two passengers approached Zhang Ye and Xu Meilan for their autographs and pictures . However, once they arrived in Korea, Xu Meilan was still enjoying the same kind of attention while Zhang Ye was not as well-known anymore, with his popularity dropping by a notch . Without mentioning Xu Meilan, even Jiang Hanwei, Xiaodong, Amy, and the others were more popular than Zhang Ye . It was to the point that a lot of the people did not seem to know who Zhang Ye was as they did not even cast a glance at him .
On the bus .
Zhang Ye looked out of the window and took in the exotic scenery, feeling very relaxed .
Ning Lan asked, "You seem to be in a good mood, don't you?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Yeah, it's rare that I can go somewhere without getting recognized . "
Xiaodong rolled her eyes and said, "But you're an Asian A-lister . "
Zhang Ye said in amusement, "I'm at the bottom of the A-list, and it's also only because of the stats that I'm in it . "
"There are also lots of people who know you here . " Chen Guang said, "But it's just that not many of them are fans of yours . This is because you haven't had any art that's made it overseas, nor did you participate in any of the regional Asian activities . "
Amy said, "But coming back to the point, the people who have the greatest influence and popularity in the Asian region are mainly the Korean celebrities . Of the Asian Heavenly Kings and Queens, over half of them are Korean stars . The Korean entertainment industry is world famous . From their selection criteria, to the training and promotions, all of it is quite professionally handled . I feel that we're lacking compared to them in this area . "
Jiang Hanwei spoke at this moment, "The Korean celebrities are indeed very popular . They might not have many successful examples on the international stage, nor do they have that many international superstars, but they have it really good in Asia . Just using China as an example, as long as a Korean star has a good act and is slightly better looking, they'll be quite popular in China . At the very least, they can develop pretty well in our market . But for our own celebrities, if they're thinking of expanding into the Korean or Japanese markets and doing well, that becomes a really difficult thing to achieve . "
The bus traveled down the road .
Everyone chatted along the way .
Reaching the hotel .
Unpacking their luggage .
Eating .
By the time everything was done, it was already afternoon .
They had free time now since the charity banquet would be held tomorrow . Since everyone had nothing to do, they decided to accompany Chen Guang and Zhao Wuliu .
"Shall we leave?"
"Alright, let's head to the heavy metal music festival to see what it's about . "
"I hardly ever listen to metal . "
"Old Chen and Old Zhao will both be singing?"
"Yeah, don't mind us if we embarrass ourselves . "
"Haha, we'll be cheering both of you on from the audience . "
