New Year countdown concert in Beijing, FLH challenges ‘Shuang Jie Gun’ [ January 3rd, 2009 ] Posted in » FRH: Concert, FRH: Tour

Fahrenheit will be holding a countdown concert at Beijing Capital Indoor Stadium on 31 December. Yesterday the four members revealed that besides singing their own oldies, they will see a Fahrenheit version of ‘Shuang Jie Gun’ (Nunchaku) and their seniors S.H.E songs on that day.

Fahrenheit is constantly working hard to break the image of being ‘Flower Boys’, hence in the third album ‘Loving More and More’, they added in rock feel for the first time in their song. At the concert this time, Fahrenheit will restructure a rock band, Jiro Wang will play the guitar, Wu Zun will show his drums skills, Aaron Yan plays the piano, and Calvin Chen performs B-BOX.

Fahrenheit revealed that they will sing their new song at the concert, but the concrete new song to be sung is still kept under secret. As for the other songs, Fahrenheit said that most of the songs will be songs which fans like in the previous albums, it can also be counted as a reviewing and combing themselves after debuting for three years. Besides, Fahrenheit also plans to perform a Fahrenheit version of ‘Shuang Jie Gun’ (Nunchaku) and their seniors S.H.E songs at the countdown concert.

Yesterday, the stereoscopic effect chart of the concert stage was officially revealed. The organizer invested a huge amount of money to make a rectangular stage which is 45m long and 15m wide. Besides the four LED colour panels above the stage, the stage floor is also put together by super large LED colour panels.

translator note : ‘Shuang Jie Gun’ is a song written and sung by Jay Chou. well, in my opinion i feel that the song is difficult to sing due to the rap part. in case u dont know how the song sounds, you can listen it here: http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=GpeXGFWnJSQ

[Jiro's Blog] Walking on the grounds of Hong Kong


Walking on the grounds of Hong Kong
On the beach, on the streeys, looking at the weekend crowd
I wore sun-glasses, and hid myself under a cap
Just like the time at Kuan Dao, strolling freely
Love the beach a lot, love the sun even more, coming to Hong Kong
this is a very short holiday, the rainbow that have previously brush by me
Now, I no longer feel regretful, I’ve decided to love you all for another ten thousand years~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!

In Cantonese, when speak a little faster, often will miss out a few words, when speak slowly, I can actually understand quite a bit
Especially surname, keep repeating, will re-enforce my memory even more
Keep saying, keep repeating is the most effective, I discovered.

This time’s holiday, there’s laughter, there’s tears, I hope, laughter can keep going on
Tears…..
Once in a while it will still come uninvited, looking at the sunset at Qian Shui Wan, I thought about many things….. and also remembered my… father

Father Wang, from Guang Dong, the vehicle he used all along for travelling is motorbike. I also love riding motorbike, whatever it is, I just love riding
Till now, I’ve bought a car, don’t wish to make it public, just hope that I can finally have the ability to let Mother Wang have this shoulder where she can be safe and sound, and help her lift all her loads off her shoulders
Being able to drive he rund in a car, drive around, to go sight-seeing, let her feel comfortable

The first night at Hong Kong’s hotel, I dreamt of my dad, was it because I am Hong Kong which is very near his hometown?
This dream was very sweet, because I was driving the new car, sitting beside me, was him, my father, I was driving him, holding his hand
Telling him… Dad… I’ve grown up, I have really grown up, did you see that? This few years, I have been working hard to survive
Keep working hard, did you see that? I drive the car to bring you for a walk ok……………..

It’s a dream, its been a long time since I dreamt about you, I wetted my pillow with my tears when I woke up

I….. really miss him… it’s been very long since I’ve seen him, if possible, I really hope to drive him round, and not let him ride the motorbike anymore
I hope, I really hope
Just like in the dream, holding his hand, like that, and also keep holding my mother’s hand, not letting go, keep protecting forever

Hong Kong, everyone speaks cantonese, coming to Hong Kong, it really resembles the time when I was young, Father and Uncle, when eating together, everyone keep sying Cantonese non-stop

Char Siew (Roasted Posk) is one of Father’s and Uncle’s favorite dish, this of course includes me, at tea restaurant, the very local Hong Kong style of drinking tea are all Father’s favorite food.
Quietly, I recollected on this beach, sorting out these few days’ thoughts, and the mixed feelings
Continuing this trip in Hong Kong, I also saw two kids who are ill, they are very adorable, I exchanged graffiti T-shirts with them
Happily, we chatted on stuffs about one another, looking at the cars they wrote for me, I, Da Dong, is really very touched

On the card wrote: (Brother Da Dong, very happy to meet you, and also very happy that the shows you acted in accompanied me to endure through the every single moments where I have to face the virus and accept treatment
Everytime when I felt very painful, I will remember Brother Da Dong, I will feel very happy, I won’t feel so pain after all….. Thanks a lot, Brother Da Dong..)

Da Dong is very touched, really very touched, No matter Brother Da Dong is stupid, or intelligent, right or wrong, with the motivation from the support and acknowledgement
It is really the power to drive everything and make me go on
Support and acknowledgement
Please continue let us work hard and continue going

This holiday, there’s s much miced and conflicted feelings
At this place, very thankful to be able to receive so many concerns for our comrades of Si Chuan from so many fans, the recept for the amount of money you all have donated, Da Dong have seen them oh
Very touched, at this place, Da Dong and family shall continue to pray for the people from Si Chuan, once again I will call out to everyone, fork out money if you can, help out if you can

Si Chuan! Jia You! Jia You! All of you must jia you ah!

Rolling Love Lost, “Hot Shot ” Airs Earlier

Rolling Love loses in ratings. Fated to Love You breaks new highs, Baron & Ethan celebrates.

Joe Cheng last week at CTS’s screen preview of their new drama “Honey & Clover” said about the ratings “At least comparing “Wish to See you Again” better”, caused up a storm. The competition yesterday is released, “Honey & Clover” average rating was about 1.57%, won by a little over “Wish to See You Again” finish broadcast of 1.33%, Xiao Zhong was able to save his face. But he knows that the ratings is what the media is interested in, yesterday he didn’t answer his phone, hopes this dispute will end as it is.

“Wish to See You Again” male lead Zai Zai yesterday evening at a restaurant was concerned to watch Joe Cheng’s role in “Honey & Clover”, he said: “Its very interesting ah.” Especially his opposite to Eddy Peng at the dorm when he played cute was very memorable. As for the question about the ratings, Zai Zai shook his head, didn’t say much.

“Rolling Love” lost in ratings, yesterday there was a wind of rumours, saying this drama is going to be cut, CTV plans to let the big class Jerry Yan, Show Luo and Wuzun’s “Fire Basketball” to air earlier. Yesterday CTV expressed, there is no intention to cut “Rolling”, but the story line will be edited to more compact, CTV’s work staff personally said, “Honey & Clover” news is made so big, CTV knew it was a hard battle, but “Honey” rating is average, this actually gave CTV to regain confidence.

Since Joe Cheng is going to Chungnanbu for a signing function, he took the opportunity to also visit his family in Taichung, even though his comments caused discontent with Zai Zai’s fans, the superiors at CTS also had fire, but CTS staff personally were really thankful that he had attended 10 programs to help make promotions. His manager He An Li said: “Honey & Clover”’s style is very new to the Taiwanese audience so it’s a new experience, this rating figure is already pretty good.

TTV and SETTV’s last cooperation of drama “Fated to Love You” broke all time new highs, SETTV immediately awarded $200,000 NT, TTV also stated they will renew the contract, TTV says, they’re currently in the state of discussing the new contract, both parties don’t have a problem to work together again, the good ratings is a good example.

Ethan Ruan and Baron Chen were also happily celebrating for “Fated to Love You”, TTV specially prepared a sashimi platter formed in the numbers 8.13 like fresh ratings coming out, Ethan said: “I promised earlier to Tan Yizhen; plays my grandmother, break 8% I’ll eat vegetarian, so starting today, on the 1st & 15th and during breakfast, midnight snack will eat vegetarian.”

Baron also expressed, if the ratings break 10% then with Ethan they’ll swim nude, far away in Yilan filming Joe Chen Qiao En volunteered to cover up the key parts, never thought Baron actually said: “With your small hands, afraid you can’t cover it all up, it’ll be better to find Bianca Bai is more suitable.” Ethan also called Qiao En, never thought the first word Qiao En says: “Ah, then I should immediately call Ming Dao!” Causing her and Ming Dao’s rumours that stirred for a while to raise another level, Ethan also didn’t know how to comment it, so could only laugh and say: “Their feelings are really good eh!”

Jiro’s popularity slips away causing Arron to dissapear from TVB

Jiro drags down [Fahrenheit] member, Arron! Once [Rolling Love], starring Jiro, has begin to be broadcasted, the viewing rate does not meet up to expectation, rumors states that [MIT], starring Arron, could be affected, although [MIT] has already finished filming, TVB still hasn’t yet confirm whether it will be broadcasted, this could even affect Jiro’s next drama in [Ai Jiu Zai Yi Qi].

Rolling Love viewing rate poor, testing Jiro

For the first 3 weeks of broadcasting GTV’s [Rolling Love], the viewing rate has continued to slip down from 1.3, far inferior from the last drama [They Kiss Again]’s ending episode with 3.39, [Jiro brand] seem to be not working, and his upcoming drama with Rainie Yang [Ai Jiu Zai Yi Qi]’s popularity will likely be affected by the market response, but the first one to be affected turns out to be Arron.

It is known that [MIT] has been proposed to GTS, CTV, yet it could face the problem of no [Showing], while CTV has confirmed broadcasting Jerry Yan and Wu Chun’s [Hot Shot], on the other hand, the hope of being on GTS has been taken by Rainie Yang and Will Pan’s [Bu Liang Xiao Hua] first; although TTV and SETTV has been cooperating with each other for a long time, it also did not accept [MIT].

Arron takes in the pressure, MIT faces rejection everywhere

Yesterday, GTS denied having contact with [MIT]. while CTV states clearly that [Rolling Love] viewing rate is poor as to adding on the pressure of broadcasting upcoming dramas, it was reported that for Arron’s first leading role production in [MIT], everyone is still making observations, but Jiro’s [Rolling Love] did not came out smoothly, which leads TVB to be afraid of making such a risky bet.

Facing contract rejection of [MIT], SETTV states that the drama is still in production stage, discussion of broadcasting time is still early, but they strongly states that their previous drama production such as [The Outsiders], [The X-Family], [KO ONE] also did not cooperate with TVB, suggesting that [MIT] is in question, facing hindrance.

Sorry for the super late translation, forgot about it~

Fahrenheit incisive to drink C.C.Lemon
C.C.Lemon starts to get exposure this 2 years in the Taiwan drink industry, relying on the method of getting Fahrenheit to endorse, paving their road successfully, and created good sales results.

“C.C.Lemon…… C.C.Lemon…… C.C.Lemon……” light-hearted commercial song played throughout the commercial advertisement, this is one of Japan’s Suntory drink products’ C.C.Lemon. for the past ten years they have been using the same song, maintaining the product’s standard.

Commercial Song
Is the key to entering the market

In the past, in Taiwan, C.C.Lemon is only one of the products sold in 7-Eleven, it does not have any media exposure and introduction. After April 2006, Suntory started this first string of promotion, C.C.Lemon continued with Japan’s usual commercial style, using the light-hearted commercial song, accompanied with commercial video clip, entering the market smoothly. After the ads, the products’ popularity reached 80%, and the sales doubled.

However, facing such good results, C.C.Lemon had another worrying side, that is the areas to purchase the drink has met its bottleneck.

Because other than 7-Eleven, it is not easy to find C.C.Lemon from other places, for a drink market, these channels are the stake hold to its survival.

Originally, Suntory decides to go according to the method used the year before to use it as Year 2007 commercial marketing strategy. At this time, Suntory’s media representative –Bei Li De, suggested some conformity marketing dissemination plan. Suggested boldly to find idol band Fahrenheit to endorse, walking into the school, and promote C.C.Lemon.

This kind of strategy was approved by Suntory, after understanding the image of Fahrenheit in the youngsters’ mind, Suntory changed the directions of their commercial immediately, and got Fahrenheit to be the product endorser. Bei Li De media planning department assistant Li Tian Li emphasize, this is a completely coincidental result.

Suntory Planning Vice Head Wu Hui Ping also said, Fahrenheit gradually become popular in Year 2007. The attention received by C.C.Lemon also rise gradually, especially Fahrenheit have a large bunch of fans strong support, thus they followed suit and start drinking C.C.Lemon.

C.C.Lemon’s target group was announced as between 15-29 years old, and Fahrenheit’s sunshine, young, active and energetic outlook, is just nice aiming at this carbonic acid drink’s core consumer—secondary and high school students. And one the usage of media, other than TV ads and website, Suntory also focus on the shopping malls such as Ding Hao Circle Mall and Xi Men Ding where young people frequent visit, the commercial are aired on external TV, the aim is to reach the consumers effectively.

Promotion activity raise the sales
With Fahrenheit’s support, C.C.Lemon’s popularity also raise amongst the consumer, after the new ads were aired in April 2007, convenience shops calculated the 5 month sales result of the carbonic acid drink, C.C.Lemon was rated right below coca cola, listed second.

Many a times, when commercial owner look for endorser, is only to film the commercial video clip only, but Suntory knows one have to let the endorser maximize their benefits, that is too make use of the endorser’s own special traits, resources and ability, so as to make the cooperation between the company and endorsers’ relationship become even closer.
Thus, when signing a contract with Fahrenheit, it includes activities, album, and even the concert’s endorsement accompaniment.

Although after 26 April 2007’s commercial reporter conference, as Fahrenheit has drama serials to film, and could not have large scale movements, but Suntory cleverly organized one after another promotion activity, maintaining Fahrenheit’s endorsement amount.

During the period from June to September 2007, the consumers just have to collect 2 strips of the bottle label of C.C.Lemon 600ml to take part in a lucky draw, the prizes also include the name of Fahrenheit, ‘Fei(Fly)’ prize: a remote control aeroplane signed by Fahrenheit, ‘Lun(Wheel)’: C.C.Lemon model car, and ‘Hai(Sea)’ prize: C.C.Lemon designed beach ball. Other than that, the mthod of buying C.C.Lemon and giving Fahrenheit stickers, also attracted the consumers to collect.
Making full use of resources, marketing more complete
Nearing the end of Year 2007, Fahrenheit came out with “2Face Fahrenheit” album, finally allowing Bei Li De to come up with a string of activities, including showing C.C.Lemon logo, signing bottle event, autograph session etc in the album promotion, as long as there are events with Fahrenheit appearing together, it is not difficult to see the existence of C.C.Lemon.

C.C.Lemon’s logo is all printed on the album cover and promotion items, the last page of the lyrics booklet is also printed with C.C.Lemon’s advertisement. As for Taipet and Zhong Li’s signing bottle event, consumers just have to pre-order a copy Fahrenheit’s 2FACE album at 7-Eleven, they can exchange a number card and a bottle of C.C.Lemon with the receipt, queue up and let Fahrenheit sign on the body of the bottle. Every event is only limited to 500 people, just like a C.C.Lemon specialized event. In the North, South and Central autograph events, before each event starts, there will be a 20 minute event related to C.C.Lemon, after the event, there will also be a bottle of C.C.Lemon for consumers who bought Fahrenheit’s album.

Results are optimistic, exceed the original prediction
C.C.Lemon is exposed through Fahrenheit, Suntory indeed had a breakthrough, stocks were ordered in all big markets, convenience shops other than the joint welfare centers and 7-Eleven, Year 2007’s popularity rating flew up to 97%, sales raise by 2.5 times as compared to year 2006.

Li Tian Li expressed, the endorser indeed has a lot of charm, it is a strong does of medicine that made the product become popular so quickly.

Fahrenheit endorse in C.C.Lemon has shown great results in Year 2007, with rising sales results, Suntory decided to continue Fahrenheit’s contract for another year, especially in Year 2008 where Fahrenheit is going to hold overseas concert, and will also come out with new album, plus other promotional activities, Suntory and Bei Li De believe, it will be another year where they can maximize the benefits of the endorsers.
