China Entertainment 2000

As one of the three Mandarin songs that Xie Tingfeng must sing when attending events in the Mainland in the future, the lyrics of "Yellow Race" sound somewhat tailor-made in the context of the turbulent era of 2001.

The flute sound and drum beats with oriental charm are perfectly blended, and the majestic artistic conception is matched with Zhou Yi's rich and full high notes that can shock people's hearts as the emotions progress. Chen Yulu, who has a very sensitive sense of smell, can be said to have made a decision in her heart immediately - —

On the Spring Festival Gala!

Zhou Yi and his song, you can definitely try it on the Spring Festival Gala!

The artistic conception of the lyrics of this song is really in line with this year's situation.

On July 13, 2001, International Olympic Committee President Antonio Samaranch announced in Moscow that BJ would become the host city for the 2008 Olympic Games;

After several years, the Chinese men's national football team has once again seen the dawn of entering the World Cup. Under the leadership of the amazing coach Milu, it has not lost a single match in the top ten games in Asia and is expected to enter the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan two rounds ahead of schedule. Football frenzy broke out across the country.

In addition, the fifteen-year journey to join the WTO is expected to come to a successful conclusion at the end of this year. The news of joining the World Trade Organization has boosted the economic confidence of a large number of Chinese people.

One major event after another perfectly fits the artistic conception described in this song - the hustle and bustle is over, and the Chinese have once again entered the world chessboard as chess players.

"Send an offer to his agent."

After watching the first rehearsal of Zhouyi, Chen Yulu showed admiration and casually gave instructions to the people around her.

Although there are still some flaws in Zhou Yi's singing performance in the extremely professional studio of CCTV, it does not matter.

There are still several months until the Spring Festival Gala. After rounds of rehearsals and training, any flaws can be smoothed out, but it is really not possible to filter them out by then.

Zhou Yi, who didn't know that the director of the Spring Festival Gala had just been watching his rehearsal, was more or less aware of some of his problems. After the first rehearsal, he stepped off the stage and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

If his singing skills were to be said to be very good, that would definitely not be the case. He just had a good voice and could withstand it. This should be his physical talent since his rebirth.

However, I don’t know if it was because the rehearsal hall was too good or for some other reason. Not to mention there were many mistakes in the cooperation between him and the musical instrument teachers. He himself was even led astray and made several mistakes that he shouldn’t have. Minor mistakes.

"No wonder it takes so many rehearsals to hold a large party..."

Zhou Yi, who muttered to himself, just took a sip of water. Not far away, a fat woman walked straight towards him——

"Hello Zhou Yi, I'm Han Hong."

"Hello, Sister Han."

Zhou Yi smiled and greeted the visitor.

Han Hong, who was born in 1971, is supposed to be young in the music world. Judging from her qualifications, she belongs to the new generation of mainland singers. However, she has quickly occupied a place in the mainland music scene since she debuted in 1998 and released her first album.

Moreover, if Zhou Yi remembers correctly, after Na Ying got married and retired in 2002, her outstanding creative ability directly made Han Hong the first sister. Tian Zhen, who also wanted to take advantage of Na Ying's marriage and retirement to regain the throne of first sister, also Sun Yue and others who wanted to take the upper hand were instantly dumbfounded.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zhou Yi, her status would be the fastest rising in the mainland music scene.

I can only say that people who can write and compose their own songs are indeed idiots.

In the album "Awakening" released by Han Hong this year, except for a cover of "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" as a tribute, all the other songs were written and composed by her alone.

The two songs "That Sea" and "Daybreak" once became Zhouyi's rivals on music charts such as the Music Chart and the Chinese Song Chart in the Mainland. They were even more popular under the impact of Hong Kong and Taiwan music a while ago. Ranked tenth, echoing the top-ranked Zhou Yi in that week's rankings.

Although it has fallen off this week.

"Your song "Susan Said" is really strong."

Although she is older, Han Hong still kept her attitude low when facing Zhou Yi, and praised her sincerely: "And the song "Dongfeng Po", how did you come up with the idea of ​​being able to use this kind of music from the R\u0026B base? New feeling.”

Han Hong didn't even know how to use a correct word to describe it for a while.

The collision of R\u0026B and traditional Chinese elements is so wonderful, and it can be called a model of using foreign materials for Chinese purposes.

"I just wanted to give it a try. The HIPHOP used in "Beside the Plum" was combined with drama culture, so I suddenly thought of trying R\u0026B."

Seeing that the preparations he had made in the album were gradually bearing fruit, Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

The first album focuses on hip-hop, with R\u0026B that is very popular in the market, and it foreshadows the experimental song "Hua Tian Cuo";

The second album is a further step forward on the basis of the first album. "Susan Said" is based on "Hua Tian Tiao" and further deepens the combination of drama and R\u0026B elements;

The three songs "Beside the Plum", "West Chamber", and "East Wind Break" respectively represent the other three directions he experimented with in this album: hiphop and drama, palace tune, and R\u0026B.

Coupled with the more popular "Jiangnan", the second album is almost a comprehensive upgrade and exploration of the first album conceptually.

As a knowledgeable creator, Han Hong sincerely admires him.

An album can play so many tricks on the basis of bringing out the old and bringing out the new, and at the same time, it also uses B-sides to ensure popularity and market sales.

As a pop singer, Han Hong knows how difficult it is. Being able to play music so freely is simply inhuman.

She usually didn't have the chance to meet Zhou Yi, but now she managed to meet him through the China-Korean Song Festival. Naturally, Han Hong took Zhou Yi to have a good discussion.

The final result can only be said that she felt that she had benefited a lot.

Many of Zhou Yi's analytical visions are forward-thinking, especially in terms of musical concepts.

Is Xinhua Bookstore so strong...

Because of the violent response caused by the broadcast of "Super Interview", Zhou Yi was directly dubbed by the media as "the little king who came out of Xinhua Bookstore".

If Xinhua Bookstore hadn't hired a spokesperson, Zhouyi would have started negotiating a contract with them.

"I heard that you also have an English single? Is it also R\u0026B?"

“There is fusion, but reggae will be a little more obvious.”

——? !

Zhou Yi's answer was beyond Han Hong's expectations. After all, playing reggae in China these days is worse than playing rock.

Just as she was thinking about it, several people who were representatives of domestic rock bands came over together——

"Hello, Zhou Yi..."

"Hello Zhou Yi..."

"Hello……"

Qin Yong from the Black Panther Band, Zhou Xiaoou from the Zero Point Band, and Wu Tong from the Samsara Band.

A few years later, no one could believe that the members of these bands would appear on a stage like the China-Korean Song Concert.

However, these famous lead singers of the band were surrounding Zhou Yi like satellites at this moment, and they took the initiative to find him.

Zhou Yi didn't even move his feet. Not long after the rehearsal ended, the area where he was was crowded with people looking for him, until a man and a woman appeared——

Dai Yuqiang, Chen Hong.

As the older generation national team singers who are considered treasures in this China-Korea Song Festival, their appearance caused some people who had not gone to Zhou Yi to gather towards them.

"..."

Zhou Yi, who noticed this, didn't say much. Anyway, he was not RMB, so he couldn't be loved by everyone, as long as it didn't hinder him.

However, what he didn't expect was that as the most senior singer of the national team, Dai Yuqiang stretched out his hand to him before he spoke and smiled friendly: "Zhou Yi, right? It's the first time I've met. You are better than Tan Jing." That’s much more handsome.”

?

Zhou Yi paused: "Sister Jing?"

"She praised you a lot after working with you. If you don't believe me, just ask Chen Hong."

After introducing himself, Dai Yuqiang pointed to the female singer next to him who has the same name as the wife of great director Chen Kaige. The latter smiled kindly and said: "Yes, I have also listened to the song "Floating to the North", the lyrics are very good. "

"..."

Zhou Yi, who never expected that Tan Jing, who had worked with him once, could help him spread praise among the national team, was really surprised this time.

Is there such a good thing?

If you think about it carefully, it seems that Tan Jing also entered the national team this year——

That's okay.

Some people were surprised by the goodwill shown by Dai Yuqiang and Chen Hong, the two leaders of this year's team, and their regard for Zhou Yi.

Especially those who play rock music.

No, you didn’t treat us like this before!

ps: I ate something and vomited all over the floor. It felt uncomfortable.

I seemed to have had a hard time yesterday...orz
