As the only singer in the Chinese-language music scene with massive international influence, the release of a new album by Zhou Ziheng was naturally an event of tremendous scale.
Major media outlets across Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and other regions widely reported on the upcoming release. Speculation regarding the album's sales projections flooded the newspapers.
Some people believed that given Zhou Ziheng's immense appeal and influence, even if this album fell short of his previous release, Xin Tai Ruan, the sales wouldn't drop by too much. On the other hand, others argued that because Zhou Ziheng hadn't promoted the album in advance, he was effectively abandoning a large portion of casual listeners, which could lead to a disastrous slump in sales.
