China Entertainment 2000

Considering Zhouyi's ability to produce hit songs, after the announcement of Warner's news, the market's pre-order willingness for Stefanie Sun's new album "Kite" immediately surged significantly——

Just two days have passed, and in the market research report received by Warner, the number of Stefanie Sun's third album "Kite" has directly increased the expected sales volume by 300,000 compared to the beginning.

This is the explosive power of the Gemini merger.

In terms of topicality, in the current music world, Faye Wong and Xie Tingfeng are probably the only ones who can sing love songs together.

After all, there are few pairs of singers like Stefanie Sun and Zhou Yi who debuted in the same company and reached the top together through their first album. Searching the entire Chinese music scene and even the world music scene, there are not many couples.

We walked hand in hand through the unknown years before debut, and met at the top after one album.

Under the exaggeration of many Taiwanese media, the name of Warner Twins is somewhat tainted with the fate of the second half.

Some media even listed three songs that Zhou Yi has sung so far: "Happy Worship", "Have to Love", and "Floating to the North".

Two songs have hiohop elements and one is pop.

"According to Zhou Yi's consistent preference for a bowl of water to be kept flat, I feel that this song "Windblown Summer" should be a song with pure pop elements.

"The song "Your Smile" has more rock elements, and its rhythm is even better than last year's "Green Light". But I was surprised by Stefanie Sun's performance. After last year's "Green Light", Zhou Yi's One time, she discovered the possibility of incorporating rock elements into her diamond tone.

“I don’t know about Zhou Yi’s duet love song, but I think, judging from the fact that this song is not even the number one hit, compared to Coco Lee, I am still looking forward to Stefanie Sun’s new album... …”

On the evening of October 9th.

When Tang Zhizhong, one of the hosts of the Channel[V] music radio program, talked about his expectations for the albums of Stefanie Sun and Coco Lee, he couldn't help but express his own opinions.

Next to him, stood a cheerful boy who looked quite sunny, nodding and thinking in harmony with Tang Zhizhong's Chinese -

"Will, what about you? As a young man, you should be more sensitive to music than me, right? Among the singers who will release songs in October, who do you like the most?"

"Huh? Me? I should be fine. If anything, I'm actually expecting a lot of people like this."

The man named Will smiled playfully: "In addition to Coco and Stefanie Sun, among female singers there is Faye Wong, and among male singers there is also Xie Tingfeng."

"You are so naughty at a young age. If you don't offend me, Wilber Pan, how can I lead you after you do this and the show turns out well?" Tang Zhizhong, who was pretending to be angry, even directly called out Will's Chinese name - Wilber Pan.

Wearing the same hip-hop outfit that Zhou Yi once wore in the first school, Wilber Pan, who had just entered the entertainment industry, suddenly showed a hint of "fear" on his face: "I didn't say anything, I just said that there are Sister Fei and It’s just Ting Feng’s album.”

Faye Wong's new album "Faye Wong" will be officially released on October 18, and Xie Tingfeng's new album "Century Prophecy" will be released on October 30.

This was a date that the two of them had already decided on.

In fact, it would be a sure success if the two people's new album also included a duet song with each other, but unfortunately there is not, so many people are now focusing on Coco Lee, who has been rumored to have an affair with Jay Chou.

"Your friend doesn't seem to be able to control himself very well. It's only been more than a year since it became popular, and there are already three scandals circulating.

"There's Vivian Hsu, Jolin Tsai, and now there's even Coco Lee."

Since she returned to Taipei to start promoting, Stefanie Sun easily came into contact with the scandals that were getting more and more mysterious here. She called Zhou Yi that night and teased Zhou Yi and Jay Chou about "their mutual odors."

Compared to Jay Chou, Coco Lee's status is much higher.

Putting aside other things, in terms of celebrity status alone, Coco Lee in 2001 can be said to have surpassed all Chinese singers. Just the draft for singing at the Oscar Awards, her company did not know how to publish it again and again this year. How many times.

After all, no Asian singer has ever been able to sing on the Oscars stage before her.

It's just that a pure singer actually used the honor of singing at the Oscars to improve his status. This is indeed somewhat humorous in Zhou Yi's opinion.

The Oscars are the film awards ceremony, and the Grammys are next door.

"Don't make it sound like I'm the only one who knows him. Don't you know him too? If you want to gossip, why don't you call and ask yourself."

"Forget it then. I'm not very interested in these gossips."

Taipei.

Stefanie Sun, who was leaning on the balcony railing, stuck out her tongue: "How are your English single results? Today is Tuesday, the results for the previous week should be out, right?"

"Does this need to be said? Of course it was number one on the weekly chart. In the second week, it sold 270,000 copies on the O chart, and its ranking rose to 35th on the overall singles chart."

Zhou Yi, who said this achievement was an understatement, made Sun Yanzi's eyes widen instantly: "How much did you say?"

It was only over 50,000 the previous week, but it soared to 270,000 in the second week? ? ?

Are you taking a plane? !

"This is why the Japanese music market is called the second largest music market in the world. Once a record is released here, it will snowball. It will be very scary.

"By the way, due to this excellent result, Zhou Jianhui has officially prepared to arrange for this single to be released in the European, American and Latin American markets."

When Zhou Yi mentioned this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Soon I will be able to say that I have entered the international community. I may be as popular as Li Wei. Why don't you thank me for supporting you?"

As the first breadbasket for many American singers in Asia, English songs have a very broad market in Japan. At that time, don’t worry about how much you sold in the end, just ask you if you have ever gone abroad.

Stefanie Sun, who knew that the Japanese music market was strong, but never thought that one day the people around her would actually conquer the Japanese music market, opened her mouth and was so shocked that she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Also shocked was the entire Japanese music scene.

On Tuesday, October 9th, after the Oricon Chart updated the new singles ranking, sales ranking and weekly ranking, the Japanese music scene, which was still noisy last week, fell into silence on this day.

Including Warner Japan Branch, the entire Japanese music industry has never thought that a Chinese could actually soar in sales without relying on any IP support and even with the opposition of many people——

This sales increase is no longer as simple as being ranked first in the weekly rankings. It is completely capable of competing for the best single of the year on the O list.

The last solo singer who had such a strong sales momentum in Japan was Utada Hikaru.

Oh, no, Utada Hikaru's single sales increase when he debuted was even more outrageous than Zhou Yi.

And the last new male singer who was so popular in Japan... didn't have one.

Groups do exist. SMAP, the veteran male idol group owned by Johnny Johnny, sold a total of 1.62 million singles last year. There is also a well-known member in this group in China: Kimura Takuya.

"Incredible, this is simply a miracle!"

Warner Japan, which had been partying all day long, immediately called Zhou Jianhui after analyzing all the data and wanted to arrange for Zhou Yi to come to Japan for further promotion, but was unexpectedly rejected——

"Zhou Yi currently has a full schedule in China. Unfortunately, he may not be able to go to Japan before the end of the year."

"Can't you spare a day or two?"

"Unfortunately."

"...Mr. Zhou, you may not know how popular Zhou Yijun is in Japan right now. Many people hate him, but there are also many people who like him. The offline CD sales statistics from the o list explain everything..."

Looking at the rising sales curve on the report, the executives of Warner Japan, who had not encountered such a performance stock for a long time, began to take turns, trying to persuade Zhou Jianhui to let people come over.

Zhou Yi's outfit, hairstyle and even the tone of his singing have spread among a large number of Japanese young people in the past two weeks, especially the magical MV dance performance.

The support club affiliated with Zhou Yi grew rapidly without him even showing up!

"Royal Shock!" Purple stars fell from the sky, and the Japanese royal family knelt down and surrendered! 》

"The Book of Changes - the dream lover of 60 million girls!" 》

"Punching Faye Wong and kicking Teresa Teng, Zhouyi's new song won two consecutive championships in Japan!" 》

"..."

As the fastest reporter in Hong Kong, on October 10, almost all Hong Kong entertainment newspapers and periodicals reported on Zhou Yi’s great achievements in Japan. Several major newspapers even posted about Zhou Yi fans meeting in Japan. The scene of raising funds to purchase Zhouyi peripherals——

"How much? The dream lover of 60 million girls?"

Mainland, Warner press conference.

Zhou Yi, who was sitting in the protagonist's seat, smiled, adjusted the position of the microphone, and leaned back tactically: "Then I think some Hong Kong journalist friends are being cautious, and their poor imagination limits your performance.

"If possible, I think the dream lover of 900 million girls is more suitable for me."
