Chapter 103 The Beginning of the War

"What the hell is this show about? Where did it come from?"

The moment they sensed the crisis, Warner executives led by Zhou Jianhui immediately held a seminar. Zhou Jianhui, who has always been gentle and elegant, rarely used foul language in meetings, but no one in the audience paid attention.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the line of words marked in red on the screen - "Meteor Garden".

It started broadcasting on April 21st and ends today, May 3rd.

Of the three songs from this drama, "The Love You Want" firmly occupies the tenth position;

"The Last Resort" kicked off Zhou Yi's "Sad People Don't Listen to Slow Songs" and then further kicked out "Fables" by Angela Chang, "Little Luck" by Stefanie Sun, and "The Sun Never Sets" by Elva Hsiao. Rush for third.

"Meteor Shower" sung by the leading group F4 is even more impressive, directly surpassing Angela Chang's "First Dream" and Stefanie Sun's "Green Light", and is rushing towards the top spot of "The Title Song of Love".

And judging from the posture, "Love's Title Song" is also very dangerous.

A previously unknown boy band, with just one drama, it successively defeated Stefanie Sun and Elva Hsiao, who already had a fan base, on major music charts.

Warner and other companies cannot ignore this sudden change.

After all, the original album of "Meteor Garden" is grabbing the market of traditional music companies like them.

Not to mention that Yu Chengqing, who sang "The Love Is Unfortunate", and Dai Penni, who sang "The Love You Want," are singers themselves and have released albums, further squeezing the already sluggish music market.

Not everyone is qualified to sell discs to Asia.

As strong as Stefanie Sun, she has only opened up the vast mainland market with "Green Light" and "Little Lucky" in her second album.

"I don't understand. Are these four handsome? From my perspective, only the ones named Zhou Yimin and Yan Chengxu are somewhat handsome. The other two are not as handsome as I was when I was young."

After getting the statistics collected by the marketing department, Qian Jiang, as Zhou Yi's agent, looked at the huge "Meteor Garden F4 Combination Sales Statistics" on the title page of the report, sat on a chair and touched the head of his head that was gradually starting to become dangerous. Hairline, eyes full of confusion: "And that drama, why do I feel that the plot is not as good as the Qiong Yao drama? Why is it so popular?"

"Probably, it satisfies the fantasies of many people."

In the lounge, Zhou Yi, who was also watching "Meteor Garden", was cracking melon seeds over and over again while watching it, commenting on the acting and the unreasonableness of the plot from time to time.

Stefanie Sun, who was sitting opposite him, watched with great interest and waved her hand from time to time to stop him from making any noise.

"It definitely satisfies the fantasy. Although there are many unreasonable places and many places that seem inconsistent. It should be because the cultural environment in Japan is different from the cultural environment here, but I can't stand it. This drama is indeed satisfying. A lot of people’s fantasies.”

Even Stefanie Sun, as a top student, ignored the unreasonable parts and watched it with gusto. The power of this drama can be imagined.

As a newcomer, Zhou Yi has long been familiar with the routines of idol dramas, and "Meteor Garden" has no appeal at all to him.

"However, I have to say that the two songs "Love Is Unavoidable" and "The Love You Want" are still good. It's this "Meteor Shower"... I can't understand it, especially this word."

Stefanie Sun didn't react that much to the fact that her songs had been suppressed across the board.

It's just that she dropped a rank, and she won't lose any meat.

She was just a little confused that the song "Meteor Shower" could reach such a high level.

"It's a cover song, Japanese."

Stefanie Sun's manager Chen Zeshan sat aside and spoke concisely.

The composition level of the Japanese music scene was ahead of the Chinese music scene in the previous era. This is a consensus in the industry.

Chen Zeshan himself is also more inclined to the borrowing school, but the musician he leads is Stefanie Sun, which makes it difficult for him to use his strengths.

The longer he took care of Stefanie Sun at Warner Bros., the more he missed the obedient Jolin Tsai.

"From the current point of view, it is only a matter of time before Elva Hsiao's "Title Song of Love" is surpassed by F4's "Meteor Shower". Judging from the current data, this ghost F4 is really too popular.

"Their photo sales, offline meetings and various activities have set new records in Baodao."

After raising the document in his hand, Qian Jiang immediately took out another newspaper with an ugly expression——

"Meteor Garden is about to win with three against seven!" Is the mainland genius Zhou Yi still capable of coping? ! 》

“At the beginning of the year, when Zhou Yi was unable to enter the Baodao market, he released six golden songs in anger, helping Angela Chang, Stefanie Sun and Elva Hsiao dominate the Baodao music market for more than 4 months.

"Now, Chai Zhiping, who was born in Baodao, used an idol drama to launch a four-member male idol group F4, allowing Yu Chengqing to return to the top of the music market with the song "Love Must Have a Last Resort", which made him lose to Angela Chang and Stefanie Sun at the beginning of the year. , Elva Hsiao and Dai Penni are back with an album.

"" Of the six songs written and composed by the mainland talent Zhou Yi, there is now only one song left, "The Title Song of Love", which has not been surpassed by "Meteor Shower". But judging from the current data, it is only a matter of time before "Meteor Shower" reaches the top.

"The only doubt now is whether Nicholas Tse and Zhou Yi, the most dazzling male singers in the Chinese music scene in this millennium, can deliver songs in their respective new albums this year that can compete with or even surpass the popularity of "Meteor Garden"... …”

I don’t know if it’s because of the villain’s success or because he wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Zhou Yi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows when he read this part——

Why is there still something going on with Nicholas Tse?

So crazy? Want to wear him and Nicholas Tse together?

"One of you is a representative of the younger generation in Mainland China, and the other is a representative of the younger generation in Hong Kong. Looking at the situation now, some people in Baodao may regard the F4 launched by Chai Zhiping as a representative of the younger generation in Baodao."

Seeing the pause in Zhou Yi's tone, Qian Jiang explained with a sullen face: "This is simply a bullshit theory."

This is clearly an attempt to step on Zhou Yi and Nicholas Tse to gain the upper hand.

"Nicholas Tse plans to release a new album "Jade Butterfly" on May 23, but this album is a Cantonese album, so the Baodao market is not within the scope of the other party's consideration.

"According to the information I have received, the Mandarin album carefully prepared by the Emperor for Nicholas Tse should be released in October."

As a competent agent, Qian Jiang immediately gave the situation of coming to Nicholas Tse's side.

Since "Meteor Garden" has not yet become popular in Taiwan, the Emperor does not pay much attention to it, and treats provocations from some media in Taiwan as clowns.

"I am on June 1st and Nicholas Tse is on May 23rd. No wonder they want to take us both away together."

After scoffing, Zhou Yi threw away the newspaper in hand.

"But this is unfair to you. You can't promote your new album in Treasure Island. Naturally, you will lose the market share of hundreds of thousands of guaranteed copies." Stefanie Sun, who also sensed the bad intentions of the visitor, frowned.

Even if she teamed up with Angela Chang and Elva Hsiao to advertise for Zhou Yi, the effect would definitely not be as obvious as Zhou Yi himself.

"They just feel that they were too brutally killed by Zhou Yi last year and lost face, so they want to get their place back this year."

Chen Zeshan, who is good at hype, can see at a glance why Chai Zhiping's F4 is so highly praised in the public opinion field.

Regardless of the final sales, at the very least they will defeat Zhou Yi in this year's ranking battle and wash away the shame of being bloodbathed by Zhou Yi last year.

As the beneficiaries, Chai Zhiping and F4 will certainly not stand up to oppose it.

"Anyway, if someone asks you this question when you are walking on the red carpet of the Golden Melody Awards the day after tomorrow, remember not to answer, just smooth things over."

As an agent, Qian Jiang still warned Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi shrugged noncommittally: "There shouldn't be any messy reporters on the Golden Melody Awards red carpet, right?"

"I'm talking off the court."
