China Entertainment 2000

"Arrogant!"

When the program trailer of BTV5 Financial Channel was released, the first person to feel unhappy was not Wang Leehom fans who had just become popular in the mainland, but Xie Tingfeng fans who fell in love with Zhouyi fans.

As the only one who could compare with Zhou Yi's total album sales last year, even though the results of "Jiangnan" were indeed so good, it's only September and Xie Tingfeng's Mandarin album hasn't been released yet.

Of course, Zhou Yi fans sneered at the disdain of Xie Tingfeng fans——

"There are only three months left until 2002. I hope you won't cry when you lose the sales statistics."

Although Sony Music, which was the first to start marketing Leehom Wang, didn't hold back anything good from the beginning, they really didn't expect Zhou Yi to dare to say this.

What if it happens? Aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?

Warner was really depraved, allowing Zhou Yi to be so willful. shame! What a disgrace to the record label world!

"Zhou Yi really doesn't touch any of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation such as modesty and single-mindedness. It's no wonder that a normal person who can have scandals with so many female stars and models will sooner or later suffer from kidney deficiency."

Some new Wang Leehom fans who are extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Yi's philandering scandal also know that they will definitely not be able to beat Zhou Yi in terms of sales, so they can only criticize Zhou Yi for being "not a good person" based on the idol's high-quality image.

After all, unlike Zhou Yi, who has been full of controversial news since his debut, Wang Leehom's high-quality idol character can be said to be standing firm, and it has continued from the end of 1995 to the present.

With the same background of being from a prestigious school, Wang Leehom also has an extra layer of Chinese-American golden body.

"Who knows how many times Leehom Wang fell in love in the United States before, but he returned it to the prince, the prince is nothing!

"If you are a fan of Xie Tingfeng, don't come here to scold me. Your guy is no less controversial than Zhou Yi. At least Zhou Yi has a good temper and doesn't do anything or smash his guitar.

"It's Zhou Yi's ability for a female celebrity to spread rumors about an affair with him. I've never heard of a talented and romantic woman!"

Imperial Capital, Haidian, at a workstation of a company.

Zhang Yan, who was frantically fishing while her supervisor was away, was typing on the keyboard with her fingers, communicating enthusiastically on Tianya's posts.

She had just graduated from college and was working at a time when she was full of energy. The ID "Favorite Yi Di" was gradually becoming famous in Tianya.

"Looking at your registration information, you are also a woman. How come you still like a playboy like Zhou Yi? How could a star like Zhou Yi be so popular before? You are really a member of the Beat Generation!"

"I just like his songs. What he does in real life is none of my business. Besides, it's the 21st century now, and you should look at things from a developmental perspective.

"Take a step back, do you have exact photos of Zhou Yi with those female celebrities?

"I'm afraid you don't know. Zhou Yi has sued a lot of media for spreading rumors and made a huge contribution to purifying the entertainment industry environment..."

The keys on the keyboard bounce back and crackle.

One second Zhang Yan, who was fierce in combat, was still losing ground with every spray, and the next second she was shocked. She quickly switched back to her working state with her ability to see all directions and listen to all directions——

The supervisor is here.

When she saw the person, Zhang Yan immediately straightened her waist upright, pretending to push the glasses on the bridge of her nose from time to time, and occasionally stroking the ends of her short hair that fell to her ears, looking like she was working seriously.

What she didn't expect was that the supervisor with thin hair came straight to her work station——

"Xiaoyan."

"Huh? Ah, Director Feng?"

"The program team of "Super Interview" notified the company to send people to the recording site to be the audience." The middle-aged male supervisor with thinning hair handed her a document: "You are responsible for finalizing the list of personnel. Once finalized, leave it to me."

"Oh well."

Zhang Yan looked happy after receiving the document and nodded immediately.

As one of the advertisers of the BTV5 financial channel, sending people to be viewers of the variety shows broadcast by BTV5 is also one of the benefits of their company.

She has been looking forward to this opportunity since "Super Interview" officially announced Zhou Yi. The only pity is that Zhou Yi cannot cook on stage this time.

Feeling pleased with herself, Zhang Yan was just about to fill in her information, but when she raised her eyes, she noticed a section of the tape cover peeking out of the supervisor's suit pocket——

Zhou Yi, wearing white clothes, white pants and white sneakers, was sitting on the lawn with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The wind behind him was blowing up the yellowing leaves. During the cross comparison, Zhang Yan was amazed by the youthful feeling that hit her face every time she saw it.

Strange, why did the supervisor buy Zhouyi's tape? Didn’t he think Zhouyi’s songs were just average, and he could only listen to “Jiangnan”?

As a die-hard fan of Zhou Yi, Zhang Yan naturally recognized this as the cover of Zhou Yi's new "Graduation" EP, and she bought several copies.

She wanted to ask, but considering that she and her supervisor were not familiar enough yet, Zhang Yan chose to give up and start working.

The thin-haired supervisor returned to his office and inserted Zhou Yi's newly purchased tape into the portable tape player——

He pressed the button with ease, skipping the three songs "Stubborn", "The Wind Rises" and "Those Years", and accurately hit "Goodbye" which suited his taste perfectly.

Accompanied by the memorable drum prelude, this unique and lyrical pop-rock song rang in the small office——

"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say goodbye to you

"Because maybe I'll never see you again

"I'm leaving tomorrow, a familiar place with you

"If we want to be separated, my tears will fall~"

Zhou Yi's highly recognizable voice sang loudly with the emotion of farewell. The supervisor, who was nearly fifty years old, put his right hand on his growing fat belly and lit a cigarette melancholy.

"Damn it, doesn't Zhou Yi know how to sing this time?"

The man who had no interest in the so-called r\u0026b and hiphop styles in Zhouyi's previous albums recalled the past and cursed.

If he hadn't heard this song at the video store next to the car repair shop, he might still have no interest in Zhou Yi.

On September 7th, the same scene happened in different places.

Different from the main audience of the past two albums, this time Zhou Yi's "Graduation" EP rarely received votes from middle-aged men who have become the mainstay of society. The song "Goodbye" successfully helped Zhou Yi expand its territory in the middle-aged market. .

Especially those middle-aged rich uncles who have entered management positions and begun to enter into memories.

"Old Li, save me two sets of Zhouyi's "Goodbye"."

"Old Zhao, do you have the CD of the song "Goodbye"? Isn't it a single? There are three other songs? That's fine. Just buy one and get three free."

"Lao Kong..."

With Warner's sufficient stock, the "Graduation" EP this time did not become a scalper's carnival in some places like when "Gangnam" was first released.

In just two days, the "Graduation" EP relied on Zhouyi's high popularity and swept the sales list as soon as it was released. The mainland music scene, which had just been hit by "The Only", saw the two "Zhouyi" The gold content of a word.

On September 3, after receiving feedback from various channels, Warner directly announced the first-day sales of "Graduation"——

"On the first day in Mainland China, 153,000, in Taiwan, 67,000, in Hong Kong... 88,000?!"

Qian Jiang's eyes almost popped out when he saw this number.

This is an EP.

Also, what’s going on with EP sales in Hong Kong? Is it so useful to have a fight with Chow Yun-fat? !

"Ayi, I think you should think about it and find a way to hold a press conference in Taiwan?"

"Super Visit" recording scene.

After two days of rehearsals, Zhou Yi, who was about to start the official recording today, couldn't help but cast a strange sideways look at his manager when he heard this: "Didn't you persuade me before that there was no need to hold a press conference to confront Chow Yun-fat?"

"Chow Yun-fat is nothing! How much can his records be sold for?"

Qian Jiang unswervingly cut through his past self and said excitedly: "Did you know that if you include the EP, your total album sales this year have officially exceeded the 2.3 million mark?"

At a time when the recording industry has been hit and everyone is in danger, Zhou Yi's behavior of rising against the trend can no longer be said to be a cash cow. He is the reincarnation of Warner's parents and the God of Wealth of pirates.

Originally, Warner was planning to buy back some albums for Zhou Yi in July, August, September and September next year, with a small investment in total sales. Fortunately, after the album's one-year life cycle, it could boast three million sales across Asia. Genuine sales.

But now it seems that this trend is nothing!

The sales volume of the remaining 700,000, excluding the genuine sales that will increase over time, the remaining volume can be raised no matter how hard it is hit by piracy, as long as the signing will make people vomit.

Thinking of this, Qian Jiang's eyes gradually became "dangerous" when he looked at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi frowned and vaguely sensed something was wrong: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

ps: Let me ask you whether you want to live in the underworld or not!

There is one more chapter before ten o'clock, continue to the underworld!
