"Gangnam Phenomenon!" The autograph session will set off the market! 》

"The Jiangnan whirlwind sweeping the country!" Little King Zhou Yi’s MV promotes his hometown! 》

"Young and promising!" Little King Zhou Yi signs another major endorsement deal! 》

"..."

After all eight autograph sessions in the imperial capital, and under Anta's high-profile external announcement, Zhouyi, which once again attracted 9 million yuan, was reported in the newspaper again——

Only this time, he rarely appeared in the financial sector.

"Since his debut in the second half of 2000, Zhou Yi, who has phenomenal popularity and performance, has not won many endorsements for himself. Only two brands, Coca-Cola and Anta, have been officially announced, but the endorsement fee has rarely reached the emperor's level. Superstar level.

"He is the first mainland singer to receive tens of millions of endorsement fees from Coca-Cola. It can even be said that he is far ahead of other mainland artists of the same generation and is almost equal to the Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars of the previous generation.

“So far, the two albums together have sold nearly 3 million genuine copies.

"Including Coca-Cola's tens of millions of endorsement fees and Anta's nine million endorsement fees, this boy who is only 19 years old is very likely to reach the 20 million mark after tax by the end of this year, becoming the highest-paid mainland Chinese in history. Young artists..."

On June 22, the commercial and financial newspaper "21st Century Business Herald" managed by the Southern Financial Media Group rarely published Zhou Yina's terrifying ability to attract money in a newspaper -

The accompanying picture shows the official announcements of Zhouyi's two albums and two endorsements from Coca-Cola and Anta.

In order to create a contrast, the article also listed in detail the income of Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Liu Huan, Mao Amin and even Mao Ning and Yang Yuying, two leaders among the previous generation of young mainland singers.

As soon as this analysis report came out, it undoubtedly threw a deep-water torpedo into the mainland entertainment industry, which was already lagging behind Hong Kong and Taiwan - causing splashes of water.

In this era where only a few people such as Chen Daoming can earn a high salary of 150,000 per episode, if Zhou Yi's income is true, he will undoubtedly be at the top of the mainland entertainment industry.

Considering that Zhou Yi's income was obtained after sharing with Warner, he may earn more money by himself than some mainland film and television companies make from one movie.

This is very scary.

There are so many employees in the film and television company to support, salaries and bonuses to be paid, but Zhou Yi is the only one who can handle an album all by himself. Coupled with two major endorsements, the money earned, except for Warner's share, is all his own after tax.

This is difficult to comment on.

"I used to just look at the singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan making a lot of money, and I never thought about how much money they could make. Now, a singer suddenly appeared in the mainland whose albums can sell like this. I can't bear it. Live and think...

"How fucking much did the top singers in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles make in the past?!"

Huang Bo, who was drinking and blowing sex with him to relieve his boredom, threw down the newspaper in his hand and cursed.

Opposite him, Gao Hu was drinking peanuts. Hearing this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the newspaper in Fa Xiao's hand. He sighed: "The key is that even if we earn this money, we can't make it. This The gap between humans is fucking bigger than the gap between humans and dogs.”

In an era when the physical record industry was still mainstream, selling albums was a real skill. If you sold albums, you were awesome. If you couldn't sell them, even if you boasted about them, it was still a loss-making business.

Huang Bo and he had both been resident singers before. Huang Bo's performance cost a hundred yuan, while his performance cost dozens of yuan. Not to mention Zhou Yi who stood at the top of the pyramid, Gao Hu couldn't even sing his own song.

Huang Bo, who has been in a band himself, has a deep understanding of the cruelty of the music world, and he is even more envious when he sees the high-spirited Zhou Yi in the newspaper.

He never dared to think so in his dreams at night, but in reality Zhou Yi really did it.

"I think you should give up singing for the time being and apply for a film and television school first. The singing industry is too deep. The major record companies in the mainland were almost out of their minds. As soon as Zhou Yi released his new album, even Rolling Stone All its Yuquan groups were completely wiped out."

Gao Hu, who felt that he still had talent in the acting profession since he was a child, started to persuade him.

Take a look at the Chinese pop song rankings, which are limited to mainland singers. Yesterday Yu Quan's "Cold to the End" was still at tenth place, but today it dropped to fifteenth place.

A female singer named Han Hong has accumulated a lot of experience with three songs: "That Sea", "Dawn" and "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau". More than a month after the release of her second album "Wake Up", she steadily started to Zhou Yi, who parachuted into the top of the list, challenged.

Although the album sales are not comparable, at least the radio playback and KTV playback rates of these three songs are the only ones in the mainland that have been able to maintain an upward trend despite the pressure of Zhou Yi so far.

As a result, Han Hong's reputation has skyrocketed. After all, she is a female singer who can stand up under the pressure of the great devil Zhou Yi. This is her gold content!

In fact, Warner, who thought they were about to rest easy in the Mainland, didn't notice Han Hong, whose songs were all outside the top 20, at first.

As a result, after more than a month of climbing, Han Hong's three songs finally broke through with their extremely high quality and popularity, and broke into the top ten on June 23, breaking Zhou Yina's only lasted After one day of dominating the rankings, Zhou Jianhui was very surprised.

Before the publicity that he alone occupied the top eleven spots on the list was released, Zhou Yi's dominance of the list was gone?

Zhou Jianhui, who immediately got the album "Wake Up" by Han Hong, was immediately silenced after seeing the label "Han Hong wrote the lyrics, Han Hong composed the music, and Han Hong sang".

Who is this Han Hong?

Except for a cover of "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", all other songs in this album were written and composed by Han Hong herself, including "That Sea" and "Daybreak", two classic golden songs.

Zhou Jianhui felt a little numb.

On the Baodao side, because the bonus of "Meteor Garden" continues to increase with the broadcast of the series, Zhou Yi's "Jiangnan" cannot stabilize the first place. It is basically competing with Dai Penni, Yu Chengqing, and F4 for the position.

Especially Dai Penni.

This talented girl from Malaysia has recently gained another marketing point, that is, like Zhou Yi, she has the talent to handle the production of the entire album, and she writes, composes, and arranges all herself.

Riding on the momentum of "Meteor Garden", EMI Records directly promoted Dai Penni in the direction of Zhou Yi, and the album's sales figures were raised by an order of magnitude;

In Hong Kong, in addition to the already extremely powerful Xie Tingfeng, there are two people who have the same experience as Han Hong - Eason Chan and Jordan Chan.

There is also a Wang Jie from Return of the King.

Eason Chan, who sang "Bicycle", also relied on nearly three months of accumulation to occupy a place on the Xiangjiang list, and was not wiped out by Zhou Yisha's army;

Wang Jie, who sang "Crime of Unromantic", had previously competed with Zhouyi's commercial song "Sad People Don't Listen to Slow Songs", and now with the passage of time, he has the tendency to return to the top. Even if he is squeezed out, he can still continue to look at Zhouyi's "Jiangnan".

What Warner didn't expect the most was Jordan Chan.

The sales of his previous albums were not very good. Based on the principle that the last album is good for getting together and good for breaking up, he released his last album under the terms of the Boardman record contract - "Hug".

In this album, there is a song that is currently responsible for helping Jordan Chan compete with Zhou Yi on major charts in Hong Kong and even the unrestricted charts in the Mainland - "The One I Love".

The lyrics are written by Shi Rencheng, the music is composed by Zhou Jielun, and the music is arranged by Wu Qinglong.

"Except for "Jiangnan", the positions of your other songs are not very stable. In Baodao, even "Jiangnan" is not stable."

Reporting this series of situations to Zhouyi Qianjiang analyzed: "In the mainland, Han Hong's "That Sea", "Daybreak" and "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" are coming fiercely, and they are likely to pose a threat to your short-term ranking. , thus affecting your album sales.

"You have to increase your publicity and exposure. Baodao can't do anything but rely on lawsuits;

"There happens to be Elva Hsiao's concert over there in Xiangjiang, where you can go on stage to get some heat;

"As for the mainland, a program team with high ratings has approached you. Are you interested in participating?"

Knowing that Zhou Yi has always had little interest in variety shows, Qian Jiang suggested: "I think it's better for you to participate. After all, the mainland is your biggest base. You have to let more audiences know you through variety shows in the mainland." , to promote your album.

"In this way, when the time comes to cooperate with your nationwide signing event, the popularity will be even higher."

"A mainland variety show is looking for me? What kind of show?"

Seeing the familiar song titles one after another on the information, Zhou Yi, who was lost in memories, came back to his senses and glanced at his manager doubtfully.

""Happy Camp", from Hunan TV."

ps: I’m still working overtime to complete the project documents. Chapter 2 will be posted half an hour late today, around ten o’clock.

All I can say is that it’s off the mark.

I thought I could get it done yesterday.

Fortunately, I confidently took two days off. Yesterday and today count as working, not rest.
