China Entertainment 2000

After traveling in Europe and America, she found that her home was almost stolen. In order to maintain her status and market, Coco Lee released "You\u0026Me" last year to announce her return to the Chinese market, but her sales did not meet expectations.

In order to increase her influence, she never thought of asking Zhou Yi to sing.

However, the "break" between Chen Zeshan and Jolin Tsai caused a lot of noise. Sony, who believed it was true, personally went out to muddy the waters in an attempt to drag Zhou Yi down, forcing Chen Zeshan to say that Warner would never cooperate with Jolin Tsai. .

As a big-name artist signed by Sony Music, it was a bit fanciful for her to approach Zhou Yi, the prince of Warner who was almost dragged down, to invite her to sing at a time when the company had just offended Warner.

After all, Zhou Yi's personality controversy was here, which made her and her team a little bit embarrassed, so they chose Jay Chou, a talented person with a more low-key personality.

Therefore, she never expected that she could show up in the debate between the two.

When her team informed her of this matter, Coco Li was dumbfounded: "We don't need to respond to this matter, just pretend we don't know about it. The extreme fans on both sides are just arguing, and there won't be much trouble." .”

To put it bluntly, Jay Chou's number of popular fans and Zhou Yi's number of popular fans are currently not at the same level. But when things get serious, Zhou Yi, who has a bigger fan base, will completely crush Jay Chou.

"It seems like it's a bit hurt not to have been in Taiwan for a long time."

Zhou Yi, who was picking his teeth with his tongue, pursed his lips and closed the page casually, showing no trace of nervousness in his nonchalant look.

"Jay Lun's popularity was not low last year, and it seems that it has become even more popular this year. How about it, you are not worried at all?" Stefanie Sun, who really wanted to see Zhou Yi nervous, said with a smile.

"My opponent this year is F4, thank you."

"They're not singers."

Stefanie Sun pouted: "It's all because of that drama. And now it is said that "Meteor Garden" has achieved extremely high ratings after being broadcast in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and has aroused a lot of discussion in the Philippines, Japan and even South Korea."

F4, which had been suppressed in Hong Kong, now has a strong tendency to go abroad. This is something that no one expected. Chai Zhiping, who originally only thought about playing three poles, now takes F4 out every day to hold offline meetings. Selling albums.

As a Singaporean, she has actually heard about this drama from her family, and her sister watched it with gusto. She asked her if she knew F4 before and wanted to get an autographed photo from them.

This is a terrible thing.

The last Chinese drama that became popular in Singapore was called "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".

"There's really nothing you can do about it. If you can compare, just compare. If you can't, forget it."

Zhou Yi was very open-minded.

Instead of worrying about "Meteor Garden", he might as well pay more attention to "Love in the Rain".

September 19th.

With the introduction of Qiong Yao's new drama, "Love in the Rain", which will be broadcast on CCTV 8 starting from September 3, has directly brought the leading actor Leo Ku into a world of wealth in the mainland.

The album "Love Is Deep", which contains the song "I Want It So Much", was sold step by step in the mainland as the series was aired. Ku Juji's popularity and sales exploded.

After more than ten days of climbing, Ku Juji, who has the bonus of TV series, has also entered the top ten on the mainland music charts. The radio on-demand rate has remained high, and he has squeezed into the top five.

Even the heroine Zhao Wei's two albums "Love in the Rain" and "The Last Breakup" sold unimaginable sales, helping Xiao Yanzi regain the throne of public opinion king from Zhang Ziyi.

Ku Juji, who once lost to Zhou Yi in the Taiwanese music scene, returned to the battlefield to compete with Zhou Yi this time with the introduction of "Love in the Rain" imported from the mainland.

In addition, Liu Ruoying, Ren Xianqi, Liang Jingru, Wang Leehom, Zhou Chuanxiong, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Xie Tingfeng and others, faced with the strong double-teaming of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, Yuquan Group, Pu Shu, Xu Wei, Wang Feng and others from the mainland were directly squeezed out Ranking list.

On the music charts, only two people from the mainland, Han Hong and Zhou Yi, are left in the top ten. Zhou Yi ranked first, Han Hong ranked tenth, one head and one tail;

On the song on-demand ranking list of Jinqu Channel of China Radio International, a subsidiary of CCTV, only Zhou Yi, who was born in the mainland, ranks first among the top ten.

In terms of Baidu MP3 song search volume, Zhou Yi, who ranks first, is in a close battle with Zhou Chuanxiong's "Twilight"...

The entire Chinese music scene in the second half of 2001 seemed to have been pushed on the accelerator button as September entered. Taiwanese singers broke out one after another. In the case of Hong Kong's natural moat of Cantonese, the mainland market has turned into a mess just like the Taiwan market.

“In terms of male singers, the older generation of musicians led by Ren Xianqi, Yu Chengqing, Zhou Huajian, Zhang Yu and others are still shining, and the four kings have not yet dissipated;

"Tao Zhe, Jay Chou, Wang Leehom and others are showing their talents, and the two most popular kings, Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng, are at the peak of their popularity.

“In terms of female singers, the previous generation of divas such as Faye Wong, Lin Yilian, Zhang Huimei, Na Ying, Kelly Chen, Miriam Yeung, etc. are at the center of the battlefield, while new forces in the music industry such as SHE, Twins, Dai Penni, Angela Chang, etc. have successively hit the market;

"Moreover, Stefanie Sun and Elva Hsiao are so popular."

On September 20, 2001, in the latest issue of the mainland magazine "Contemporary Music", the editor-in-chief personally wrote an article titled "The Golden Era of Chinese Music", which attracted a large number of readers and circulated it——

The cover of this magazine is a close-up of two popular kings, Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng, on both sides of the Chu River and Han Dynasty.

"From Hong Kong's Tan Zhang to the Four Kings, Asia's little whirlwind Lin Zhiying to the king killer Zhou Huajian, from the bitter love singer Zhang Yu to the hero Ren Xianqi. This time, Zhou Yi made up for the regrets and shortcomings of the mainland music scene and became the leader of the Chinese music scene in the new century. figure……"

A sincere and contagious article, coupled with Zhouyi's current sales of 2.3 million+, quickly aroused a wave of widespread discussion in the two places.

"There is Nicholas Tse in the Hong Kong music scene, Zhou Yi in the mainland music scene. Who is among the younger generation in the Taiwanese music scene? Leehom Wang? He is an American, Penny Tai is a Malaysian, and Stefanie Sun is from Singapore."

"I choose Jay Chou, who debuted in the same year as Zhou Yi. Only Zhou Yi and Stefanie Sun can beat him in the Taiwan album market for his first album. His second album is also very popular now."

"I don't agree. Jay Chou is popular, but his limitations are too great. I don't know what he is singing without reading the lyrics. At least Zhou Yi's slow songs can be understood by me. I think it should be F4."

"I agree. I also vote for F4 in Taiwan. The album was sold two months later than Zhou Yi. Now the sales are almost catching up, and I can understand the singing."

"I think it should be Tao Zhe."

"Tao Zhe is not a Hong Konger?"

"..."

Just when music lovers were about to start giving examples, Sony Music announced the total sales of F4 in Asia so far: 1.06 million copies.

Taiwanese music fans who love fighting crickets immediately shut up.

"Dream Back to the Golden Age of Chinese Music!" Zhou Yi, Xie Tingfeng, and F4 record sales exceeded one million! 》
