China Entertainment 2000

Due to the time difference, Warner's album release time is extremely surprising to many fans of Zhouyi in China——

Because today is Monday.

Everyone goes to work when they need to go to work and goes to school when they need to during the day. There is no need to think about skipping class or asking for leave to go to the nearest video store to grab Zhou Yi's new album.

Moreover, Warner said it will be released simultaneously around the world, but due to the time difference here, it is impossible for fans to get up in the middle of the night to buy the album.

Therefore, under Warner's consideration, the album release time in East Asia is based on the time in China - 19:08.

This is the first time in China that a singer has released an album during prime time at night. Analyzing it based on the time difference, it is a genuine and unadulterated global premiere, and it has a good reputation.

Due to the huge influence of the World Cup, the propaganda intensity of various newspapers during the day was full. Combined with Zhou Yi's actions of representing the Chinese people on the World Cup final stage, the heat was added to the fire——

"Zhouyi's first English album is released, the first person in the Chinese music scene to enter the international arena!" 》

"Announcing his arrival to the world - Zhouyi!" 》

"The curtain of the World Cup has fallen, and the curtain belonging to Zhouyi is about to begin!" 》

"..."

In the three places across the Taiwan Strait, under Warner's money-spending model, Zhou Yi, who made a splash in front of the global audience at the World Cup closing ceremony, used this wave of marketing to completely make his new album popular. The reputation spread to every corner of the land of China——

If animals could understand human speech and read newspapers, Warner would have liked even the mice in the gutter, the dogs passing by the curb, and the cats catching birds in the fields to know about it.

So much so that when the album was released, in order to grab the first release, there were unusually long queues in front of some major audio and video stores in various places——

"Brother, do you want Zhou Yi's new album "The Attitude Show"? It's not expensive, 240 yuan."

"Damn it, your mother! You're a bastard, 240? Why don't you go and grab it?"

Guangzhou, Yuexiu, outside a video store with a long queue.

Tang Jiafeng, who went to a familiar store but failed to get Zhou Yi's new album, had no choice but to turn to a scalper channel that he had met in the past to grab train tickets.

The result he got made him curse.

He thinks that his monthly salary of 2,600 yuan is enough to be considered as a young and promising person. How many of his 28-year-old peers are still getting a monthly salary of 4, 5, 5, 6, 600 yuan, and they have to say hello to him during the holidays. The matchmaker doesn't know how many there are.

I originally wanted to support my idol Zhou Yi and buy his new English album. After all, I can afford it with my salary level.

What's more, because there are no messy tax increases for domestic distribution, the domestic version of Zhouyi's album is actually cheaper than the international version.

Tonight is the first release. Tang Jiafeng thought that the price would be the same as when Zhou Yi's last album "Jiangnan" was released. The premium would be almost the same, but you actually paid the premium to two hundred and four? ? ?

Is a dog still a human? !

"Brother Jiafeng, the current market situation is like this. You have also seen the song Zhou Yi sang at the World Cup closing ceremony. He is now the most popular singer in the country, and the first batch of goods must be priced at a premium.

"If you are not in a hurry and wait for about three or four days, the price should have returned to normal by then."

Brother scalper spoke in half-baked Cantonese Mandarin: "It's okay for you to buy the mainland version in mainland China. Due to tax relations between the Hong Kong version and the Taiwan version, the scalper price tonight is even more outrageous than the mainland version.

“The orders I received tonight even included people from Macau.

"You also know that although there are many students who are fans of Zhou Yi, there are also many office workers, and many of them are young people who are willing to follow the trend and are not short of money.

"Those with a monthly salary of seven to eight thousand yuan will buy the deluxe version with the highest premium without blinking an eye. The English album is just a taste of their hobby.

"They don't care about the premium or cost-effectiveness. They just want to buy and enjoy Zhouyi's album as soon as possible. The album produced by Zhouyi must be a high-quality product."

Just as he was talking, the scalper on the other end of the phone received another landline call. The caller asked for three copies of "The Attitude Show" by Zhouyi, which were also hardcover editions.

I don’t want the regular version, it’s missing a song and makes me cough.

Tang Jiafeng: "..."

Are there so many rich people in this world?

After staying in the comfort zone for a long time, Tang Jiafeng always felt that he was already ahead of 98% of his peers. For a moment, he doubted the authenticity of this world.

"Brother Jiafeng, do you still want the raccoon?"

"Yes, I want one, just the regular version." After all, Tang Jiafeng couldn't bear the itching in his heart and bought one at a premium.

These days, among the Chinese music singers, Zhou Yi's genuine album is given as a gift, unlike others who just give him a CD box and a lyrics sheet or book.

At worst, just buy peripherals.

Tang Jiafeng, who comforted himself in this way, received the album he had been longing for an hour later——

The specially designed words "The Attitude Show" were engraved on the album cover. Zhou Yi, wearing a burgundy custom-made suit and a bowler hat, stood in the center of the stage at a 45-degree angle. Countless lights fell on him, and also illuminated the microphone that was as tall as a person on his right side.

Just looking at the cover design, it fits the concept of "Show" very well.

The lyrics book is filled with the lyrics and music of all the songs in the album, and the printing is very delicate. At the same time, the regular version also comes with the MV discs of the two songs "Baby" and "Yeah".

Tang Jiafeng, who was not in a hurry to listen to the song, took a look at the MV first——

Then, the prelude of the song "Baby" instantly caught his ears, which were already numb when listening to European and American pop music.

“Ohhh ah

"Ohhh ah~"

As the extremely ear-catching prelude sounded, Zhou Yi's iconic "scream" also sounded.

However, compared with the World Cup song "Victory", the "cry" of the song "Baby" is not so exciting and high-spirited, but more soothing and clear.

In the MV scene, Zhou Yi appeared in what appeared to be a certain entertainment venue playing snooker. As the song sounded, he led a group of friends behind him to meet the heroine played by Fan Bingbin and her friends——

"You know you love me, I know you care (You know I love you, I know you care)

"Just shout whenever, and I'll be there~ (Just shout whenever, and I'll be there~)"

Fan Bingbin, who has gradually grown and lost some of her baby fat, holds a club in her hand and plays against him on the table as Zhou Yi sings, showing off her Daji style with every smile.

The confrontation between the two parties gradually evolved from the snooker table into a joyful dance battle.

Zhou Yi, who has basically only shown off her dancing at Elva Hsiao's concerts since her debut album, once again showed off her dancing ability, which Elva Hsiao calls "gifted" in this song.

Tang Jiafeng's eyes were full of excitement when he saw it, especially the dance moves that clearly paid tribute to Michael Jackson, which made him feel excited!

When the MV reached the middle part, Zhou Yi's iconic rap sounded again, and Tang Jiafeng, who had been waiting for Zhou Yi to rap, couldn't help but shake his head to the rhythm of the song.

Facts have proved that Zhou Yi’s English rap is also a heavyweight!

However, after listening to this song three times without restraint, Tang Jiafeng now only has one lyric left in his mind - "baby, baby, oh~~"

broken!

Am I conquered by the song Zhouyi? !

Tang Jiafeng's eyes widened and he suppressed his desire to repeat the cycle again. He thought that he was a foreign language song lover who claimed to be an elite and could not be conquered so easily, so he turned to another song. The first MV for "Yeah".

This song is completely opposite to the freshness of the previous one. In the bar with all kinds of light balls shining, Zhou Yi, wearing a white suit, showed off his dance skills to the rhythm of the song that can brainwash anyone.

Then……

His mind went from "Baby" to "Waiting for the light, waiting for the light."

After 20 minutes of looping, Tang Jiafeng excitedly went to the English song exchange forum where he often went and posted a post:

"Brothers, Zhou Yi's new English album is so awesome!" The new Asian Dance King is here! I said! 》
