"We who don't understand the torment of love, hate, and hatred all think that love is like the fickle changes of the wind and cloud~"

"Baby~ you are the only one for me. If both worlds are deformed, it is not easy to go back~"

"My proud stubbornness and I will hold our hands tightly and never let go~"

"I give you fine blood vessels and exquisite facial features, but I want to give you a beating heart; giving you a pistol and a bullet doesn't mean I want to put it in someone's chest!"

September 11, 2001, an ordinary Tuesday.

Zhongshan, Qiwan, on the street outside the gate of a certain junior high school.

The aroma of food lingers in stationery stores, rental bookstores, and even car repair shops that specialize in repairing tires and inflating bicycles. The tapes played on the recorders are all the most popular songs among the student community.

Zhou Yi's newly released EP album benefited from the higher price than the studio album. It successfully opened up the genuine sales market among the majority of students only 4 days after its release.

However, compared with when "Jiangnan" was released, Zhouyi, which released the "Graduation" EP this time, was not able to become a dominant player.

The man who had his headshot printed on Wahaha mineral water carved out his own market with the song "Only" surrounded by two top names, Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng.

With the help of the Internet's speed of communication and Wahaha's channel layout, Wang Leehom's reputation in the mainland has greatly increased due to the soaring sales of genuine albums since the album was released.

Fans of Xie Tingfeng who sang two Cantonese songs "Jade Butterfly" and "Don't Use Hidden Dragons" and fans of Zhou Yi who sang the entire album of "Jiangnan" didn't realize it yet. Fans attracted by Leehom Wang officially joined the group. A melee of pop songs.

In just ten days, the hit song "Only" has been killing people all the way, and it has become the number one on-demand weekly on China Radio and Art FM;

It has reached the top three or even the top two of the weekly charts on many mainland charts such as the pop song rankings and the Chinese pop music listening charts. Only "Jiangnan", which still maintains its record of ranking first on the charts, is left under the impact. It can also stabilize the position.

If last year's adaptation of "Descendants of the Dragon" only made Wang Leehom famous in the mainland and gained his first batch of loyal fans, then this year's "The Only One" is a work that made him soar in the mainland music market.

Become famous in one hit!

"Since the album was released on June 6, the title song "Jiangnan" of the album of the same name by Warner Music's singer Zhou Yi has continued to dominate the mainland's major music charts for a full 13 weeks. This is unprecedented in the mainland music scene. A miracle that has never happened before.

"Even if it is Zhou Yi's newly released "Graduation" EP, none of the four songs in it can beat "Jiangnan" in the mainland even with the addition of new songs.

""Only" by singer Wang Leehom of Sony Music is the only song that can pose a threat to the ranking of "Gangnam" in three months. After ten days of rushing the charts, can "Only" end the popularity of "Gangnam" A consecutive number one on the music charts?”

The latest issue of "Contemporary Music" magazine directly analyzed the excellence and stamina of "Only" in the latest issue. The deputy editor in charge of writing this report even came up with a suggestion that surprised many Leehom Wang fans and surprised some. Questions that Zhouyi fans are unhappy about——

Ending Zhou Yi's consecutive championship.

Three months after its release, "Jiangnan" was still able to occupy the top spot in major charts for one week. This is an extremely explosive phenomenon in the entire Chinese music scene.

This is a weekly list that changes a lot, not a monthly list that relies more on accumulated data, or even a half-year list or an annual list.

According to the rules of the arena, you can win consecutive championships, and it’s not like no one has won it before. But you, Zhou Yi, have won 13 consecutive weekly championships. Are you a little bit inappropriate?

"As we all know, the longer the album is released, the weaker the new data of the song will be, until it completely drops out of the rankings. "Gangnam"'s 13th consecutive number may sound like that, but if you put it another way, "Gangnam" 》Has it been dominating the charts for three months?

"This also means that there will be a huge influx of new data for three full months, supporting it to secure the championship..."

As the mainland's largest circulation magazine and the most authoritative music magazine in the minds of readers, "Contemporary Music" undoubtedly included the newly released EP in this analysis article three months later. Zhouyi's reputation has been pushed to another new peak.

"No one can be the top of the charts forever, but the record set by Zhou Yi will always remain in the history of mainland pop music and even Chinese pop music."

In order to prevent being praised, Warner General Manager Zhou Jianhui immediately publicly cooled down Zhou Yi.

Sony Music was eager to help Wang Leehom reenact the scene where Zhou Yitong killed the Taiwanese music scene last year. After Zhou Jianhui's statement came out, he could only mutter secretly, "Damn old fox."

Last year, when Zhou Yitong killed Ren Xianqi, Liu Ruoying and even the Four Heavenly Kings, didn't he take advantage of the release time at the beginning and catch all the record companies off guard?

Why is it that this year, when it’s your turn, Warner started to secretly tease you and start pretending to be a white lotus?

"Sony is harboring evil intentions from the bottom of its heart. You have dominated the charts for too long and are now almost the target of public criticism."

In the nanny's car after finishing one autograph session and rushing to the next one non-stop, Qian Jiang, the manager, reported Sony Music's sinister intentions to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi, who was tired from being tortured by different autograph sessions one after another, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows: "I haven't fallen yet?"

Yesterday, Monday the 10th, the beginning of a new week, he went to five book signings in the Imperial Capital. When he returned to the hotel in the evening, he was so tired that he almost collapsed on the bed. He really didn't have the heart to pay attention to his performance on the pop charts.

His hands were shaking when he signed today.

"No, keep going." Seeing Zhou Yi's half-dead look, Qian Jiang encouraged him.

"Now I finally understand why Yan Zi complains that she is tired all day long." Zhou Yi, who slowly opened his eyes, bared his teeth and said, "Where are Taiwan's results?"

If he hadn't really wanted to eat this piece of cake, he would have given up on it long ago.

"It's not bad. It sold over 100,000 in three days. It should be no problem to sell over 150,000 in a week."

Even though there is no way to go to Taiwan for promotion, "Jiangnan", which is still competing with "Meteor Shower" on the list, still maintains Zhou Yi's popularity and consolidates the die-hard fans who will never give up.

"Also, although Wang Leehom's album sales in Taiwan are not that explosive, the ranking of "Only One" is also rising very fast. It has reached the top ten in a short time. It is a perfect golden song. It is a difficult opponent. .

"Sony Music, including some media in Taiwan, are also helping to spread the word and hype. Obviously, they want to use this single by Leehom Wang to bring down both you and F4."

Qian Jiang's face became a little solemn when he said this. Obviously, Wang Leehom's threat was recognized by him.

However, just as he was busy preparing to deal with Leehom Wang's impact and threat, on the evening of September 11th, Imperial City time, a shocking incident quickly swept the entire world——

When the 911 incident occurred, the attention of major media around the world was immediately attracted. The decks that Sony Music had just spent money to buy for Wang Leehom were all robbed in an instant!

Qian Jiang, who had just received a large budget to prepare for the impact of Sony Music, was a little confused.

ah?

"Stay north! What kind of shitty luck does Warner have!"

Sony Building in Taiwan at night.

The general manager of Sony, who had just spent a lot of money, was so angry in the office that his temples were pounding!

His money!

His marketing!

His heat! ! !

"The Only One" is now gaining momentum, but suddenly a 911 incident appears to steal the public's attention...

Money was spent, the board was built, but the popularity was overshadowed by 911...

What a top-notch villain...

Especially when he learned that Warner was going to help Zhou Yi release an English single in the United States a few days ago, but Zhou Yi intervened and postponed the release date.

Comparing the two, he seems even more unfair...

"Damn it! What kind of shitty luck is this Zhou Yi?!"

The secretary who had read too many Hong Kong newspapers frowned and speculated: "Is it possible that Zhou Yi is really as precious as the White Dragon King said? Is there a heavenly help for this?"

"..."

ps: Yangjian!

The next one is more conservative, half past twelve, half a step into the world!
