China Entertainment 2000

The smile on Qian Jiang's face suddenly froze. Not long after, sparse laughter erupted from the audience, accompanied by boos that were not too serious to watch.

As a talk show, "The Conan Show" was only launched this year, but it has a very high influence in the United States in terms of ratings and discussion.

As the host of the show, Conan O'Brien is even more experienced in the hosting industry. He has met countless new people every year in the past -

But no one has ever behaved so "arrogantly" and with such a loud tone like Zhou Yi.

"To be honest, I have a good relationship with Jackie Chan (Jackie Chan), and I have also met Jet Li (Jet Li). They were much more humble than you when they first came to the United States."

Talk show performance is all about ridicule and fun.

Although this sentence was not within the scope of the scheduled rehearsal, Conan O'Brien suddenly became interested. He sat on the chair and put one hand on the table, and invisibly pulled out the two Chinese kung fu superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li to Zhou Yi. The endorsement also lets the audience know which country he is from.

"Really, but I think I'm already very humble."

With his fingers crossed in front of his abdomen, Zhou Yi crossed his legs and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "My songs are very popular in the United States, aren't they?"

The backstage director played the songs from the Zhouyi CD at the right time, and the latter, who was sitting on the sofa, shrugged noncommittally: "It seems you still know your stuff."

Conan O'Brien laughed heartily.

This young Chinese singer is indeed very interesting in terms of his external personality.

If a foreign singer wants to successfully break into the American music scene, it is important to be able to leave a lasting first impression. This is just like the initial impression Jackie Chan and Jet Li left on people when they entered Hollywood that they were "good at kung fu".

Don't worry about whether it will leave a bad impression on some people, as long as you can capture some of the audience first, it will be considered a success.

The reason why Coco Lee failed to break into the American music scene was that in addition to not receiving good songs, the lack of a distinctive personal trait was also one of the reasons.

In the Chinese music scene, Coco Lee's twerking is a masterpiece, but in the American music scene, all her sexy advantages are completely offset and become mediocre.

After all, there are a lot of female singers in the European and American music circles who are better at twisting and sexier than her, and they are even more accepting of large scale than her.

Let’s not talk about it, just Kylie Minogue who is currently very popular. She wore very seductive clothes during the dance in the MV of “Can’t Get You out of My Head”.

"Okay, I admit that what you said does make sense. Let's talk about something else. For example, how did you get into music?

"You are only 20 years old, God. When I was 20 years old, I was still soaking in alcohol and women all day long - oh, I'm sorry, this is a secret." Conan O'Brien made a booing gesture and showed a hint of laughter on his face at the right time. Embarrassed smile.

"I don't know. Maybe, it's because I'm a genius?"

Zhou Yi, who twisted on the sofa, recalled the past: "I didn't actually think about debuting as a singer at the beginning.

"Almost two years ago, I was still studying at Peking University. You know, boys with such handsome looks and good figures like me are often very popular in universities."

After saying that, he glanced at Conan O'Brien, who had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "Oh, I'm sorry, maybe you don't know."

"..."

Seeing that Conan O'Brien, as the host, was choked, the audience burst into laughter.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. I was very popular in school at the time and could sing well, so many record companies came to me at that time and wanted to invite me to join them, and they were very considerate and prepared for me. Audition."

"And you chose Warner?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "No, I rejected them all."

Conan O'Brien was a little curious: "Why?"

"Because I never audition."

"Because you-huh?!"

As the host, Conan O'Brien was so surprised that his senses were flying all of a sudden, and his voice was filled with disbelief: "What?!"

As a singer, if you want to sign with a record company, you have to go to the recording studio and audition to see the effect. Isn't this common sense?

"Is this difficult to understand? I don't feel like I need to audition to prove myself."

Faced with the uproar on and off stage, Zhou Yi showed his hands in a matter-of-fact manner: “Moreover, at that time, it was the record companies who were vying to sign me, not me begging them.

"So, either sign me directly or don't sign me at all. Is there any problem?"

"..."

Hiss... something seems not quite right, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

If you don’t take signing with a record company as your goal.

"So, how did you end up signing with Warner's Spike? Just because they didn't ask you to audition?" Conan O'Brien tentatively confirmed again.

"Of course, I think one of the best decisions Zhou Jianhui made in his life was to sign me."

Zhou Yi raised his chin slightly when he said this, and said with a smile: "Facts have proved that he succeeded."

This...sounds so damn arrogant!

At this moment, both the audience and Conan O'Brien's eyes lit up.

Zhou Yi never auditions.

If this program is to be broadcast, this sentence will definitely form a memory point.

"I have to say, this reason really surprised me. I thought you would talk about some inspirational experiences, such as family and environment. It seems that many singers who have embarked on the music road are like this, for example, people like E Minam and the others.”

"I don't have that many inspirational experiences to talk about, because my family life has been very happy since I was a child. Although my family didn't have much money at that time, both my parents were well-off..."

"Spike, what do you think of some people who despise you on the American Internet? Especially on Yahoo, many people are saying that you are hyping up, that Warner is spending money to promote you, and that your songs are actually just A product of Warner’s operations.”

At the end, Conan O'Brien asked another rather pointed question and waited for his answer with interest.

Zhou Yi moved his body and said indifferently: "My opinion is to give more."

"More? Wait, you mean more black fans? You may not have heard what I just said -"

"No, no, no, I heard you very clearly. What I meant was to have more black fans."

Zhou Yi, who straightened his suit, chuckled and said firmly: "After all, I really need more fans now, because all the people before have become my fans."

Conan O'Brien: "..."

Live audience:"……"

Qian Jiang: "..."

People start to let themselves go when they are not in the country, right? !

Although this is a talk show, it is understandable that it is for the purpose of establishing a character and creating program effects, but Qian Jiang can already imagine the kind of criticism Zhou Yi will receive in the American market after this program is broadcast.

Facts have proved that Qian Jiang's concerns are not unreasonable.

Just after the latest episode of "The Conan Show" was broadcast, Zhou Yi, along with his name, frequently appeared among American Internet users who communicated more frequently.

This time, Americans finally knew what the singing Zhou Yi looked like - and at the same time, they also saw the character he revealed in the show.

In an instant, the controversy skyrocketed along with the popularity!

On Yahoo, discussions related to Zhou Yi among netizen groups have skyrocketed - especially those words he said in the show.
