"I should be under the car, not in the car

"See how sweet you are~

"This way, it will be easier for me to give up.

"Give me the courage to leave~"

Imperial Capital, Chaoyang District, Haidie Music offline album signing event.

A man with the same medium-length hair as Wu Jianhao in "Meteor Garden" was singing passionately on the stage, a popular representative song from his album.

His voice full of vicissitudes of life and his rough appearance make him look somewhat similar to the contractor who leads the team on the construction site from a distance, and he is very down-to-earth.

At the climax of the last chorus, the man turned the microphone and waved to the fans in the audience, which immediately led to a chorus of chorus from the audience——

"He must love you very much and compare me to him

"It only took one minute to break up~"

The fiery enthusiasm of the fans was complemented by the summer weather in the imperial capital. Wave after wave of cheers made the men on the stage work harder in the next performance.

It wasn't until the end of the autograph session that Lin Junjie, a music assistant, handed him a bottle of water and told him the good news: "Brother Adu, thank you for your hard work. The sales volume of the autograph session today was very impressive."

"Thank you, Junjie."

Adu smiled and unscrewed the cap, raised his head and drank half of the bottle, then wiped the corners of his mouth: "What is the total sales volume now?"

"According to data compiled by the company, the album "Darkness" has sold more than 200,000 and nearly 300,000 copies nationwide."

The good news reported by his junior brother immediately made Adu energetic, but when he thought about the pervert Zhou Yi above his head, a mini-disc with a uniform price of 4 US dollars in order to be in line with international standards did such a terrifying thing on the first day it was released in China. Sales volume, while I was a little discouraged, it was inevitable that I also felt a little bit envious.

"Don't worry, no one in China can compete with Zhou Yi in terms of sales volume. Xie Tingfeng, who was promising before, was killed by himself."

As the producer who single-handedly created Adu's album, Haidie Music CEO Xu Huanliang is also very excited: "What's more, when Zhou Yi first debuted, his album sales were based on this trend. If you keep it up, you may not be able to become the next generation." A popular king.

"Moreover, maybe this time you can succeed in ascending to the throne by stepping on the corpses of all the kings and queens like Zhou Yi did in the past, including Zhou Yi himself."

To be fair, Adu's "Hai Dieguang" "Hai Dieguang" took more than a year to prepare. It is impossible to say that it will not become popular without thinking about it.

But Haidie Shangxia never expected that it could become as popular as it is now.

Especially in the mainland.

You must know that the mainland has been regarded as Zhou Yi's back garden by the industry before this, but now Adu's song "He Must Love You Very Much" can actually be on the mainland's music charts, surpassing the popularity of Zhou Yi's second album last year. The song and the chorus of Gemini reached the top of the charts, which was something Haidie never expected.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Huanliang had a somewhat bold idea - to "overturn" Zhouyi.

Talents emerge from generation to generation. In 2000, Zhou Yi was born, stepping on Faye Wong, Lin Yilian, Ren Xianqi, Zhou Huajian and other veteran kings and queens to ascend to the throne, and killed "rivers of blood" with swords, creating a prestigious reputation.

Two years have passed and things have changed. Now it's Zhou Yi's turn to be killed by a newcomer. Is there anything wrong with that?

Lin Junjie, who was listening to the whole process, wanted to say something, but after thinking about his humble status, he still kept his mouth shut.

Adu, who was inspired by the boss's cake painting, was excited at first, but quickly calmed down within a minute: "Mr. Xu, what do you mean..."

As a Singaporean contractor who once managed a lot of people under him to earn a living, it would be completely ridiculous for you to talk to Adu about innocence.

Anyone who can play the job of contractor is the best among the best, even if he is just a small contractor.

"Have you listened to the single "The Victory" that Zhou Yi just released? Although the sales are high, it is only limited to this wave, and the on-demand ranking of this kind of advertising song in China will never remain high."

Xu Huanliang analyzed with a smile: "Because there are too many advertisements for Coca-Cola during the World Cup warm-up period, and Zhou Yi is the spokesperson of Coca-Cola, his two advertising songs will definitely appear frequently on TVs and radios.

"Under such intensive bombing, his advertising songs may be heard on the streets, but their rankings will definitely not be high. Even if they are high, they won't last long."

World Cup advertising songs are different from serious songs.

The song "gogogo oh type oh type oh type" was popular enough after the World Cup, and it made a lot of money, but its performance on the charts was really not as good as some of the popular songs at that time, whether in Europe, America or China.

"As long as you continue to maintain the number one spot on the singles chart and prevent Zhou Yi's advertising song from reaching the number one spot during the period of high popularity, you will have a title that beats Zhou Yi."

The more Xu Huanliang talked, the more excited he became, as if he saw a bright future waving to him.

Since Zhou Yi opened the gap with all Chinese singers internationally, he has become the fastest way for almost all new Chinese singers, unknown old singers, and has-been singers to become famous.

Want to become famous overnight? Want national newspapers to write about you? Then go and defeat Zhou Yi!

As long as you don't play any tricks, it will be normal, fair and just market competition, and no one can find fault.

The last singer who briefly topped the list during the weak period of "Jiangnan" was Jay Chou, and the next one was Wang Leehom. Both of them are now the hottest Chinese male singers under Zhou Yi——

"Nunchaku" and "The Only One" are also popular all over the country.

Adu's breathing immediately became a little rapid.

Although using the album's title song as an advertising song is not a common practice of martial ethics, but that's the Book of Changes!

Who can resist this temptation?

After making up their mind, Haidie's publicity strategy immediately changed dramatically——

Since April 22, Haidie has continued to arrange various announcements for Adu, and has also begun to focus on promoting Adu’s ordinary life in the past——

"Ordinary people also have dreams of being a singer: Haidie Adu's vicissitudes of life as a man!" 》

"Adu: Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal. Anyone with a dream is great!" 》

"The pride of heaven has nothing to do with me, I am just an ordinary person - Adu"

"..."

As a person born in 1973, Adu is 29 years old this year. A 29-year-old new singer is definitely an extremely rare existence in the music world.

My family background is not that good, my parents are divorced, I have two sisters and two brothers. In order to support his family, he dropped out of school at the age of 15 and went out to work——

I worked as an apprentice in a car repair shop and as an assembler in a computer city;

Finally, carrying a red bucket, he joined the great but under-staffed dusting industry and became a glorious civil engineering brother, working as a small foreman.

This is simply a true portrayal of the past of countless middle- and lower-class men - at this moment, many ordinary men in their thirties and even those in their forties or fifties have seen themselves in Adu's series of experiences, and they have a full sense of empathy.

They are not as smart as Zhou Yi, who can change their fate by reading, and can go out of a small mountain village and enter Peking University by taking the college entrance examination to become the favored sons of heaven. At a young age, they are surrounded by beauties and rich.

Most of them, like Adu, were in their teens and had to work everywhere in order to support their family. They did everything and spent their time in their thirties, forties, or fifties.

They don't have Zhou Yi's handsome looks and figure, and they don't have beautiful women who fall in love with each other. They just have the hard experience of working hard and having their girlfriends (wives) run away with someone else.

Even though many people are now making a fortune from civil engineering and related industries, their past experiences are still buried deep in their memories. And now, Adu's song "He Must Love You Very Much" has simply reached their hearts.

"Oh oh oh he must love you very much~"

"I should be under the car, not in the car

"See how sweet you are~"

In the KTV, a favorite place for civil engineering bosses and contractors, a group of middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s hugged their sisters and exchanged cups, singing "Under the car, the car they own now" The key was hidden deep in his trouser pocket.

This group of middle-aged men are rich, but after being targeted by Haidie, they eventually became the miracle workers of Adu's album sales, reputation, and song rankings.

On April 25, when Zhou Yi's "Win the Flag" still failed to top the charts in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan five days after its release, Haidie, who was ready to make a move, directly released the song they had tailor-made for Adu. The last personal ace——

"Popular singer, Adu Tornado!" 》

And it was from this day that Aduna's extremely down-to-earth personal image, which could easily resonate with a large number of men in the middle class of society, reached its peak!

As the largest industry in the country with the second largest employee gap, it is obvious that the energy of old friends in the civil engineering industry has been inspired by Haidie.

"Zhouyi's new song was suppressed!" Still unable to reach the top spot! 》

Warner Building, President's Office.

After listening to Zhou Jianhui's explanation of the arrangements for the release of the English version of "Victory", Zhou Yi took the newspaper handed over by Qian Jiang, glanced at it briefly, and laughed out loud.

"Hai Die has really found a treasure this time. This Adu is very powerful and has great momentum. He is very similar to you two years ago."

Zhou Jianhui, who also saw this title, was very calm and even remembered the days when Zhou Yi first debuted. The office was full of laughter.

“The positioning is very precise.”

Zhou Yi put down the newspaper and took a sip of tea, obviously not caring much.

"If the English version of Ah Yi's song can be as popular as the previous song "The Lazy Song", can we apply to the headquarters and work with Coca-Cola to contact FIFA's public relations to see if we can let Ah Yi go? Show your face and sing a song at the World Cup closing ceremony?"

As Zhou Yi's agent, Qian Jiang had already set his sights on the international market and immediately seized the opportunity to help Zhou Yi gain recognition in the global market.

There is definitely no chance for the opening ceremony. The organizers of Japan, Japan and South Korea are going crazy over the quota.

The competition in Japan was so cruel that many high-profile divas such as Hamasaki Ayumi and Utada Hikari were all eliminated and missed the opportunity to sing at the opening ceremony, which shocked the entire Japanese music scene.

"It's impossible, this is the World Cup in Japan and South Korea." Zhou Jianhui shook his head: "They don't have enough points within themselves, how can they give us a place?"

Even though Coca-Cola is one of the official sponsors, a large number of Japanese and Korean chaebols are also the financial backers of the World Cup this time.

"Is that so? Ayi, what do you think? Do you want to give it a try? I think no matter if it works or not, if your song is popular enough, you can give it a try."

Qian Jiang was still unwilling to give up this opportunity for Zhou Yi to appear in front of a global audience.

The closing ceremony of the World Cup starts before the final. What is the concept of the World Cup final? That was the most watched game in the entire World Cup schedule——

It is a game that fans and pseudo-fans around the world will watch.

"I was lying at home watching it on the TV."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Also, I need to correct you Brother Qian, the official statement is the Korea-Japan World Cup, not the Japan-Korea World Cup.

"The Koreans have gone to great lengths to rank their Korean before Japan's. Even if it causes dissatisfaction in Japan, they have to do this. You can't change it without permission."

ps: Okay, let’s adjust back to half a step into the underworld.

There are still two days of sick leave. I think I don’t need to sleep during the day tomorrow and can code during the day.

Let’s make do with one chapter tonight, and return to the terrestrial world in two chapters tomorrow!
