China Entertainment 2000

Qian Jiang, who was supposed to be carrying a sack of money and preparing to show off his rivalry with Sony Music, was sitting in the office of Warner Wheatfield at the moment. Holding a document in one hand and stroking her thinning hair with the other, there was an unbridled smile hanging on the corner of her mouth that could not be suppressed no matter what -

"Sony's fandom makes me laugh to death. If I were on the board of directors, I would have to pay him a sum of almost NT$1 million in promotional expenses, but the effect was extremely poor."

"You can't blame Sony for this. Who could have imagined that it would encounter such a global sensation."

September 12, morning.

Because of the 911 incident, almost all media, large and small, around the world are rushing to report on this incident.

What the people in the country saw when they woke up today were all kinds of content about the 911 incident, and all the discussions were about the various deeds of the United States.

With this kind of popularity sweeping the world, entertainment news is just the younger brother, and no marketing is good.

It is precisely because of this that the domestic entertainment industry has rarely fallen into an extremely real state today.

Capital is all about profit.

In the past few days, it has become clear that investment and reward are not directly proportional. Both the music world and the film and television industry have become much cleaner.

When the marketing tide subsides, you will be able to see who is swimming naked.

"Wang Leehom is also unlucky. Currently, there is the most discussion in the Mainland about your songs and albums, followed by Xie Tingfeng's new album and songs that have not yet been released, and the third is him."

Qian Jiang was somewhat gloating about his misfortune with statistics.

"Only" is a new song, and the momentum is still so strong. If Sony spends money to rush it, "Gangnam" will be really in danger.

But now, with its popularity among people of all ages, "Jiangnan" is expected to secure another weekly top spot on the mainland's pop song rankings, extending its streak to 14 weeks.

"The only pity is that in Hong Kong, because of the scolding battle with Chow Yun-fat, your "Stubborn" won a weekly championship, interrupting Jiangnan's consecutive championships. Otherwise, Hong Kong's record of consecutive singles would have continued. .”

Qian Jiang sighed after seeing Hong Kong's sales data and single radio charts: "There's absolutely nothing we can do about it in Taiwan."

Taiwan's F4 is too buggy, and now Zhou Yi is unlikely to be able to compete with the four of them. The popularity is too high, and you don’t have any fucking ethics. After returning from Hong Kong, you hold handshake meetings all over Taiwan every day.

It would be strange if Zhou Yi could survive the fight this time. Others are unable to appear in public, and the influence of the lawsuit cannot remain as high as it was at the beginning.

"Just calm down. At least we won't lose much in terms of publicity."

Zhou Yi, who was flipping through the newspaper, casually expressed relief. After all, he has not yet reached the peak of F4.

When "Popular Garden" goes out of China and becomes popular in Asian countries and reaches the top, that's when the popularity of F4 will really explode.

Within the one-year sales cycle of the album, sales of genuine copies across Asia exceeded 4 million.

There were a total of 19 concerts in the real Asian tour, none of which was fake, and the number of viewers in each concert was more than 30,000.

A truly phenomenal idol group, the pioneers who single-handedly opened the door to idol dramas.

To be honest, with several marketing efforts and the quality of the song "Jiangnan", it is beyond Zhou Yi's expectation to be able to contend with the monster "Meteor Shower" in Taiwan.

Anyway, right now, he can't think of any other ways to increase his popularity that will benefit him without any harm.

"Zhou Yi is right. In the next one or two weeks, all record companies will cut marketing investment as much as possible until the impact of the news in the United States has passed.

"And our loss in marketing is minimal."

Zhou Jianhui, who opened the office door, was followed by Stefanie Sun and Chen Zeshan, who had also returned from promotional activities.

The moment she saw Zhou Yi, Stefanie Sun made a face at him very quickly, and then followed behind Chen Zeshan as if nothing happened.

Zhou Yi just rolled his eyes at her.

"For the sake of safety, Zhouyi chose to put "Lazy Song" first in the Japanese market, which saved the company from losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the publicity budget.

"Of course, there is also Stefanie's new album, and he hasn't finished recording the songs yet."

Zhou Jianhui's eyelids twitched at the above-board "transaction" between his opponent's two trump cards, and he pretended not to have seen it since it was a blessing in disguise.

He knew that Stefanie Sun had been shouting that she wanted to rest.

Based on Zhou Yi's past song writing and recording speed, he can basically tell that Zhou Yi is changing directions to help Stefanie Sun get some rest time.

After all, it is absolutely impossible to compare the amount of publicity a new album has to run after it is released to what it is now.

If anyone else did this, he would be pissed off, but this was Zhou Yi, his lucky star.

Especially after avoiding 911.

Zhou Yi's suggestion at the time was: Since you missed the popularity of "Rush Hour 2" during its premiere in North America, you might as well take advantage of the popularity of this movie's premiere in Japan.

And coincidentally, "Rush Hour 2" premieres in Japan on September 22.

Stefanie Sun's new album "Kite" was originally going to be released in July, but at that time Stefanie Sun started to work hard and looked for Zhou Yi as a shield.

Later Zhou Yi came over to write and record songs, and the two of them simply worked together to defraud Chen Zeshan.

"Ahem, what is that, Mr. Zhou, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to deal with, so I'm leaving first." Almost being called out for helping Stefanie Sun to be lazy, Zhou Yi raised his head and confidently prepared to leave.

Stefanie Sun became anxious when she saw this.

Why are you still taking him away? Just leave me alone, what if I get punished?

Even if two people were being trained together, she would still have a companion. If she was being trained alone, she would be mentally unbalanced.

"Mr. Zhou, I happen to be unsure about some songs in the new album. I'll take Zhou Yi to check it out and give me some reference advice."

"Okay, go ahead."

"?"

Zhou Yi, who was dragged out of the office by Stefanie Sun's arms, squinted at her and said, "You look like this, what are you afraid of? I'm collecting songs for the new album, but you didn't accept it. I'm afraid you haven't even reviewed the song submissions." .”

"What do you know? This is what I call excellence. The third album is very important, okay?"

Since she and Zhou Yi teamed up to defraud Chen Zeshan, Stefanie Sun, who has been wandering between the stages of "composing a song immediately" and "already doing it" every day, has returned to her original full of energy and vitality.

I can only say that reasonable rest is really important.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Look at the songs. I'm really collecting the songs, but I'm not sure. Come and help me take a look." Stefanie Sun hummed proudly.

As a large company, Warner receives many submissions from musicians every week, and those people hope that top singers in Warner will like their songs and buy them.

Jay Chou was like this last year.

The same is true for JJ Lin this year.

When Zhou Yi saw a song called "Remember" among the songs, his eyes were immediately attracted by the name of the composer of the song——

JJ Lin.
