China Entertainment 2000

Qingdao, Chen Haojia.

When Chen Hao, who was watching the Spring Festival Gala with his family, saw this scene, his smile faltered and his brows furrowed slightly——

"Isn't this Xiao Zhou? He is getting more and more handsome."

On the sofa, Leng Buding saw a familiar person in the camera. Father Chen, who poured half a glass of wine for himself, happily pointed at the person on the screen and smiled awkwardly at the camera as if he had been caught stealing snacks in class. Stefanie Sun said: "Who is this girl with short hair? She looks very familiar with Xiao Zhou, and her smile is quite lovable."

"Drink less. The doctor told you not to drink, not to drink." Mother Chen, who was beside her, was worried and did not respond. Instead, she took away the wine bottle that her husband had taken out of the sideboard.

"I've been holding it in for a year. It's Chinese New Year. I just want to satisfy my craving for a little while. It's okay."

"Dad, this is the most. Your condition is finally stable." After coming back to his senses, Chen Hao reached out to take the wine bottle handed over by his mother, stood up, left the sofa, and stuffed it back into the cabinet.

"Don't worry, that's it, that's it."

The cheerful father Chen nodded hurriedly. After hearing the tune of "Jiangnan" played on the TV, he always felt familiar: "This song is very popular, right? When I went to the hospital for a review before to get medicine, I heard many stores on the road. Playing."

"This is the most popular song in China this year." Chen Hao was obviously in a happy mood when talking about this.

"Xiao Zhou has been to the Spring Festival Gala this year. I used to say that this kid looks very talented and must be a person."

Chen's mother obviously gave Zhou Yi the highest evaluation she could give as a Shandong native: "It's so popular. You should join some association as a representative or committee member in the future. The future is bright."

Chen Hao, who came back from drinking, was somewhat dumbfounded.

On the other side, Fan Bingbin’s house.

Father Fan and Mother Fan, who had just put their son to sleep, saw their daughter still watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room. They took a closer look and happened to see Zhou Yi's smiling face on the TV, facing the camera as if nothing had happened.

The couple looked at each other and pretended not to see anything.

They must have known about the scandal between their daughter and Zhou Yi. In addition, Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law had indeed changed the amount of compensation for the termination of the contract. When talking about Zhou Yi, her daughter also talked endlessly. This was too obvious.

But the problem is...

Zhou Yi is so popular, even famous singers are also popular.

"Is there anyone who sings like this? How did you change the popular song of Zhou Yi into something like this? You didn't sing "Jiangnan" like this!"

On the Spring Festival Gala stage, Guo Donglin's expression angrily scolding Feng Gong for his blind adaptation once again made many people laugh out loud. His flexibly twirling eyebrows made Stefanie Sun, who was already sitting upright in the audience, laugh out loud.

The camera that glanced at her again didn't make her busy this time, and her grinning look was really endearing.

After the performance of "On Stage and Off Stage", Stefanie Sun deliberately poked Zhou Yi, who was applauding strategically, and whispered curiously: "That Mr. Feng Gong's guitar playing is surprisingly good."

"He knows many musical instruments. He is a real old artist."

Zhou Yi felt that he had to go back and show Stefanie Sun the pinnacle work "Old Songs and New Songs", a collaboration between Feng Gong and Guo Donglin. In it, Feng Gong, who plays various instruments at his fingertips, is definitely an idol for middle-aged and elderly women.

In terms of artistic achievements, there are more than one works that can participate in the battle of the gods; in terms of career length, he can be called a living fossil of the Spring Festival Gala.

There are very few people in the entertainment industry who can compare with his background and qualifications.

Stefanie Sun, who obviously didn't know much about Chinese history, didn't seem to understand. On this occasion, Zhou Yi couldn't help her make up lessons, so he could only give her a look like "we'll talk about it when we get back"——

Stefanie Sun understood this instantly and immediately realized that this person's identity might be unusual and not suitable for discussion on such an occasion.

After the next song duet program, when Huang Hong, Gong Hanlin, and Zhang Kaili appeared on the stage and began to perform "Flower Pot", Stefanie Sun also understood that it was almost her turn, and immediately stood up and left, leaving Zhou Yi alone. Chatting with Lu Yi, Zhou Xun and others.

On the stage, Huang Hong, who overturned in public opinion after the 1999 Spring Festival Gala skit "Cheer Up" was broadcast, experienced two years of sluggishness, and this year he handed over his own reputation-reviving work.

When the line "Dig a hole, bury some soil, and count one, two, three, four, five. Your own soil, your own land, whatever you plant will grow in RMB!" in "Flower Pot" was spoken by Huang Hong again. , even Zhou Yi, who already knew what the sketch was about, was amused by the outstanding performances of the three people on the stage.

As for the skits in this Spring Festival Gala, if he remembered correctly, apart from Lao Zhao's "Selling Cars", this skit basically received the most praise.

After leaving Feng Gong, Niu Qun no longer had the spirit of the past after being severely beaten in the officialdom. This year, he starred in "Neighbors" with Cai Ming and Guo Da, and the response was mediocre.

"By the way Zhou Yi, what song is Yan Zi going to sing? Did you write it?" Zhou Xun, who was also smiling from ear to ear, asked casually.

"'Network with the World'. I didn't write it. How can I be that awesome?"

Zhou Yi chuckled and reported the title of the song.

In a sense, this song "Networked with the World" is actually more like a proposition composition. After all, it has joined the WTO.

Among the many composition-style songs in this year's Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Yi's favorite is indeed this one. The songwriter cleverly used the currently popular Internet elements to connect all parts of the world together.

After the skit "Flower Pot" ended, the introduction words used by host Li Yong when introducing Stefanie Sun were very interesting in Zhou Yi's opinion -

"In the Chinese music scene in the past year, there has been such a little queen. Her voice is extremely unique, and her songs have become popular all over the country..."

If Zhou Yi remembers correctly, this should be the first time CCTV has used the adjective "little queen" to introduce Stefanie Sun on a formal occasion.

Normally, "new singer", "famous singer" or "supernova" is enough.

Leehom Wang has been in the industry for so long and has even won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award. This is also the first time he has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage this year. What he got was only the label of "famous singer", and he didn't even get the title of Little King.

Backstage, Stefanie Sun, who heard Li Yong calling her name, took a deep breath at the end, and then nodded with the senior Xie Xiaodong who was singing together. The two went on stage with microphones under the guidance of the staff.

With a sharp eye, she caught sight of Zhou Yi, who was smiling and applauding her in the audience. The heart in her chest, which had been beating faster due to nervousness, unconsciously relaxed -

"I want to use the morning glow of Mount Tai to frame the midsummer of Mount Fuji.

"I want to use the wooden paddle of the Yellow River to splash the waves of the Danube~"

As the prelude of the song played, Stefanie Sun, who memorized the moves and lyrics, spoke up after Xie Xiaodong finished singing——

"I want to use the blue bricks of the Great Wall to connect the Eiffel Tower

“I want to use the waves of the Yangtze River to kiss the quicksand of the Sahara~~”

The lyrics are very atmospheric and the arrangement is very festive, which fits the theme of looking forward to a new era.

When singing this song, Stefanie Sun tried her best to recall the situation in which she had learned from Zhou Yi and opened a trumpet anonymously on the Internet to rush to the forefront of the Internet. She just sang the feeling of the Internet bringing us closer.

The diamond-level timbre can be heard clearly even in Xie Xiaodong's rich voice. It can only be said that he is worthy of the title of timbre hooligan.

Stefanie Sun's identity as a singer has also entered thousands of households through the Spring Festival Gala for the first time!

………………

"Stefanie is singing in the Spring Festival Gala! She is indeed my goddess, she wears such casual clothes and looks so good!"

Thanks to Stefanie Sun's high popularity among young people, after her official debut, young people active in fan chat rooms, QQ, and even Internet gathering places such as Maopu, Tianya, and Sohu began to cheer.

"It's a pity that it's not "Green Light". I think I heard "Green Light" on the Spring Festival Gala. If not, "It's Dark" would also be fine, or "Little Lucky"?"

"Zhou Yi is sitting down there. Why doesn't the director team let the two stars sing "Windswept Summer" together? What a great stunt. If I were the director team, I would love to put these two together. The ratings are guaranteed to be high."

"I agree. The Spring Festival Gala directing team is really not a good person. They invited people over and didn't let them join us."

"..."

Since songs like "Connected to the World" are not very attractive to young people of this era, discussions about Stefanie Sun in chat rooms and forums have turned into complaints about this Spring Festival Gala.

It can be summed up in one word: the Spring Festival Gala is about to end.

"Speaking of which, Stefanie is on stage so early. Which Zhouyi show is she on? Is it soon?"

"It's very early. Stefanie is the sixth program, and Zhou Yi's program is directly arranged to the 14th. In the prime time period, he is the one after Zhao Benshan's "Selling Cars"."

Some netizens posted the exposed program list, and the bright "Yellow Race" and Zhou Yi are extremely eye-catching.

"Why did Zhou Yi sing this song? Shouldn't he be singing "Jiangnan"? "Dongfeng Po" is also okay. Isn't this what he sang at the Sino-Korean Song Contest? And he hasn't won the first place on any charts since it was released. .”

"I feel like the lyrics are a bit unclear. What does it mean that after five thousand years it's finally my turn to play? We've always been here."

"You upstairs may have misunderstood. In the lyrics of this song, I really only refer to Zhou Yi himself, and the yellow man walking on the road with his head held high refers to all Chinese people.

"That's why you heard Zhou Yi singing that after five thousand years it was finally his turn to appear on the stage. After all, he was not even born before, so he couldn't even get on stage if he wanted to."

The lyrics issue that has been criticized by some fans since the song "Yellow Race" was released is now raised again, but this time, someone actually read out a line based on the Book of Changes that should be very close to the original meaning of the song. meaning.

When the turbulent new century comes, the more turbulent it is, the braver it must be. There is nothing wrong with it.

Of course, there are also blind monks who discovered Hua Dian——

"The song Zhouyi was basically written in response to the special new era at the turn of the century. It is normal to be included in the Spring Festival Gala.

"In terms of the meaning of the song, his song is the only one in this Spring Festival Gala that is mainly about pop songs. Zhou Yi's name is a bit big.

"Stefanie, Wang Leehom, and even Sun Nan and Yu Quan have no chance to sing pop songs."

"No wonder I heard rumors after the third rehearsal that Zhou Yi is CCTV's biological son. This is the only treatment in the entire Spring Festival Gala. It's really awesome."

This kind of unfair treatment not only makes Zhouyi fans marvel, but also makes some people develop a different kind of superiority deep in their hearts. Xie Tingfeng of "Stay Together"——

Because the idol I am a fan of is awesome, so I feel awesome too!

And tonight is when they witness that their idol can overpower Xie Tingfeng even on the Spring Festival Gala.

At 9:30 in the evening, at the end of Zhao Benshan's hilarious "Selling Cars" skit, hosts Zhu Jun and Ni Ping appeared on the main stage together, smiling and expressing their appreciation for Lao Zhao's group. Love of sketch——

At the same time, it also strings together Zhouyi's appearance words.

"As for the singer who will appear next, he debuted in July 2000. Judging from the time of his debut, he should be just a rookie in the Chinese music world who has just got rid of the title of new singer."

"Yes, that's right. But unfortunately, there are always some geniuses in this world who often don't play according to common sense. In a year and a half, he not only became popular throughout Asia, but even became popular in the United States."

Ni Ping, who took over Zhu Jun's conversation, even interacted: "Who do you think this genius is?"

"Book of Changes!"

"Book of Changes!"

In an instant, shouts came one after another from the audience under the stage.

After the performance, Stefanie Sun, who returned to her seat and waited for Zhou Yi to get off work, also joined the audience. She put her hands around her mouth like a trumpet and shouted the answer to the stage with a smile on her face: "Zhou Yi!"

"Yes, that's right, let's hand over the stage to Zhou Yi, "Yellow Race"!"

As the stage lights changed, Zhou Yi slowly appeared on the stage, wearing a white-backed gold-edged moiré suit that tested his appearance. At this moment, he captured the hearts of countless women with CCTV's close-up shot of death— —

Many men even muttered from the bottom of their hearts in front of the TV or computer: Damn it! This guy is so damn handsome!

The song introduction hit the screen along with the highly recognizable melodious flute intro——

"Asian"

Lyricist: Zhouyi

Composer: Zhou Yi

Arranger: Zhou Yi

Vocals: Zhou Yi

Instrumental performance: Zhouyi, Xinghai Conservatory of Music Ensemble, Central Conservatory of Music Ensemble

A series of pleasing Zhouyi scenes made fans happy.

And when they saw Zhou Yi on the stage actually picking up the drumsticks during the flute prelude and taking the initiative to walk up to and behind an ownerless drum, their eyes widened in an instant——

Hiss, could it be said? !

Zhou Yi, who was filled with confidence all over his body, directly hit the first drum beat. The originally melodious flute intro suddenly erupted in conjunction with the drum beat. The prelude, which was more intense than the original version, overturned everyone's psychological expectations at the beginning. It was positive. Impacting everyone's visual and auditory nerves!

"From the waves that have crossed five thousand miles, or from the city wall that needs to be rebuilt

"The yellow color of all history faded, gathered into the sunset and dyed my body!"

Compared with the version at the China-Korean song concert, after Zhou Yi picked up the microphone tonight, he looked a little less unruly, but more like a young man who passionately pointed out the country——

High-spirited!

Dressed in white, he looks like jade, and the cloud pattern on the gold edge seems to be a crown that crowns him!

Under the shining lights, countless people's eyes fell on him, and a touch of extremely stunning colors appeared!

“The more turbulent it is, the braver it becomes!

"The world is changing for me to break through!!

"Go to all directions with openness and magnanimity!

“After five thousand years, it’s finally my turn!!!”

At the turn of the century, penetrate Hong Kong and Taiwan, conquer RB, and enter the United States.

Five thousand years later, in the 21st century, the American music scene proudly entered the top ten of the Billboard, becoming the first Chinese singer in the history of the American music scene to have an English single that sold 1 million platinum copies in the United States.

One pile, one piece.

Zhou Yi spent the past year and a half turning his arrogance in front of the media into a reality that no one can refute!

So when this moment came, whether they were fans or passers-by and anti-fans who had known Zhouyi, they all shut their mouths in front of this almost autobiographical song "Yellow Race".

The high note that Han Hong said could be called world-destroying pushed the emotions in the early part of the song to the highest point!

Stefanie Sun in the audience held her chin with one hand, without blinking, just staring at the figure on the stage who raised her head in the backlight and raised her eyes in high spirits, with brilliant eyes.

"This is the Book of Changes!"

At this moment, whether it is Chen Hao, Fan Bingbin, or Xiao Yaxuan and others who managed to watch the Spring Festival Gala, they recall everything Zhou Yi has gained in the past year and a half, and take another look at what seems to be about Chinese people, but is actually still... Along with the lyrics that also praised myself, there was a smile of helplessness and a bit of pride on the corners of the mouth.

The senior executives of the Sohu website department who signed Zhouyi were even more happy. They launched the Zhouyi exclusive section that had been announced for a long time overnight. The traffic data was so active that it would be jaw-dropping when it was released!

"The people on Mo are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world!" 》

This post, which was almost constantly refreshed with replies, quickly became the most commented comment in the new section. At this moment, no one corrected the post owner that the sentence "Moshangren is like jade" was actually a compliment to girls.

All because this Spring Festival Gala version of "Yellow Race" is too explosive in terms of high-pitched emotional catharsis!

A rich kid majoring in music also appeared on the forum and said: "What a terrible articulation. How come Zhou Yi has never shown such terrifying high-pitched skills before? Is this all made up of real voices?!"

"What an incredible voice function, monster! He is definitely a monster!!!"

"I suddenly want to see where Zhou Yi's limits are. With such a good voice, he doesn't write high notes to show off his skills in two albums and one EP?!

"This guy is definitely lazy. He put my student ID card on it, he is definitely lazy!"

"Compared with the original version of the China-Korea Song Concert, this version of "Yellow Race" is so damn passionate. It feels like it can be heard as a war song. Now my blood is boiling and I feel like I can go to the village to kill two more pigs."

At this moment, on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which is truly open to the whole country, Zhou Yi, dressed in white, stood there, using his lyrics to deeply imprint his image in the minds of everyone who watched the Spring Festival Gala at this moment——

The lingering sound lingers for three days without stopping!

ps: It’s broken. I feel like I can sleep better than a pig during the day...
