"I have started practicing, and I am starting to get anxious. I am anxious that this world will be without you~"

"Believe in yourself! Ohohoh, you will surpass your limits and surpass yourself!"

"Happy breakup, I wish you happiness and you can find a better one~"

"You are all in my head and you are in my heart. This little love is so sweet in the big city~"

"I should be under the car, not in the car, to see how sweet you are~"

"Baby, baby, oh~~"

Guangzhou, Haizhu District, Pazhou.

Slightly noisy music, intertwined voices.

The most popular songs were playing in the shops facing the street. The bustling crowd came to the door of the breakfast shop. After talking to each other, they turned around and left, carrying soy milk buns and fried dough sticks.

Lao Qin, who opened the door early in the morning, after replenishing all the supplies, leisurely sat back at the counter and ate the fried pork cheong fun with eggs -

"Boss, do you still have Zhou Yi's English album?"

"Yes, 150."

"I'm sorry, why is it 15 yuan more expensive here?"

"What I sell here is the official Warner Bros. The materials are very thick, and the pirated versions are simply incomparable. If you think it's too expensive, I can also give you a Hua Tsai album."

Seeing business coming to his door, Lao Qin hurriedly wiped his mouth and stood up to introduce the store's activities.

Andy Lau, known as one of the Four Kings of Hong Kong, released a new album at the beginning of the year. One of the songs in the album, "Practice", has once again become his most popular and well-sung masterpiece.

Of course, after more than half a year of baptism, Andy Lau's album has also entered the "discount promotion" period. "Practice" cannot stop Andy Lau's decline in influence in the music industry, and the market response will not lie.

"You probably bought too much of Andy Lau's pirated album, right? What's the difference between me spending an extra fifteen yuan to buy Andy Lau's album?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I don't sell pirated copies. It's on sale right now, do you understand?"

Lao Qin interrupted the visitor's chatter and looked at the young man up and down. He must have just entered the society. "Well, if you don't like it, I can give you a new album. I heard about that Mayday in Taiwan. Have you passed?"

"I've heard that you can also give me a Mayday album?"

"Almost, their band has now split up and changed its name to Shin Band. I happen to have the first album released by their team members after changing their name. It's called Shin Band..."

Seeing that the young man was still dubious, the boss directly brought out the evidence: "If you don't believe me, read the slogan for yourself. The singer in Mayday is called Ashin, right? Look at the singer in this band, it's called Xin."

"..."

Hey, is that true?

Seeing this "SHIN Album of the Same Name" by the boss with a Mayday cover, the young man who was struggling a lot said: "Boss, why don't you give me another copy of Elva Hsiao's new album "4U"."

"No, Taiwan shipped them first, I haven't purchased them yet."

Facing this greedy customer, Lao Qin took back the three albums he took out and said, "If you don't want it, forget it."

Anyway, Zhou Yi’s album has no worries about selling.

"No, no, I'll buy it, buy it."

Other stores offer buy one get one free, buy genuine and get pirated copies free, but here buy one get two free and they are all genuine. I think it’s worth it.

After the young man left, another mother came with her baby to buy some CDs——

"Boss, do you have any Ultraman discs here? Not Jack Taylor's. My son has seen them all."

"Yes, of course there is, the new Ultraman: "Ultraman Guga"."

Lao Qin, who had just called upstream to hurry up and copy Elva Hsiao's new album, took out another Ultraman whose cover didn't look like Ultraman at all.

"Why are you urging me? You said seven days will be seven days later. Do you want to break the rules? Go to the street! The singers have all gone to drink the northwest wind. What will we eat? Will you go up and sing?"

"No, isn't this anxious? It is said that her new album was also produced by Zhou Yi, and there are 4 songs written by Zhou Yi."

As a shrewd audiovisual businessman, Tan Yong still knows who is the most powerful in the music industry today.

On July 12, Elva Hsiao, the first sister of Virgin Records, officially released the new album "4U". Among them, among the released album playlists, there are four song titles that Zhou Yi is responsible for writing, composing, and arranging are particularly eye-catching——

"Pirates", "Prague Square";

"No Guilty Love" and "Give Me a Reason to Forget".

Among them, the two songs "Prague Square" and "Pirates" were even sung by Zhou Yi himself.

This is undoubtedly an uncontrollable purchase for many addicted fans and even casual music lovers.

Especially as many gossip magazines rediscovered the news that Elva Hsiao and Zhou Yi were strolling in Morocco Square watching the fountain and white pigeons.

No matter how good Zhouyi's English songs are, they still lack meaning. Chinese songs are irreplaceable for Chinese-speaking audiences.

With Zhou Yi's own Chinese album said to be available in October, Elva Hsiao's "4U" has received a lot of attention as soon as it was released.

This can be seen from the fact that at the press conference for the new album, Elva Hsiao himself was asked the most questions about Zhou Yi——

"Zhou Yi? I called him to congratulate him.

"But it's hard to say when he will come back. After all, he is still very busy in the United States. It is estimated that he will not return to China until around the 20th. After all, July 26 is the day when his concert will start in the Imperial City."

When talking about Zhou Yi, Elva Hsiao couldn't help but ignore the look in his manager's eyes and wanted to drag reporters to talk about Zhou Yi's achievements in the United States.

Yao Qian off the court could only shake his head helplessly.

"Well, Elva, do these four songs mean that you and Zhou Yi broke up? Did Zhou Yi write these songs to you only after he officially broke up with you?"

"What?"

"Now the outside world is spreading rumors that Zhou Yi broke up with you completely and chose to be with Yan Zi.

"So he wrote "Your Smile", "Windswept Summer" and "Good Time" for Stefanie, and "Guilty of Broken Love" and "Give Me a Reason to Forget" for you."

"...???"

Xiao Yaxuan, who was obviously choked, opened his mouth, intending to say something, but he hesitated when the words reached his lips.

Is this okay?

"Elva, is this true?"

"Well, as a singer, I would like to say that actually a lot of the song content has nothing to do with the singer himself." After considering the words, Elva Hsiao pursed her lips: "Please don't blame the singer himself for the content of the song without authorization. ,Thanks."

"Then what do you think about Zhou Yi meeting a model in Ireland and writing her a song called "Galway Girl"? Is he good at writing about his own experiences?"

"..."

The still young Elva Hsiao was obviously distracted from her train of thought when she responded to the reporters' series of questions, and even forgot to deny her relationship with Zhou Yi in the follow-up questions.

Yao Qian's teeth in the audience were itching with anger.

By North!

Zhou Yi, you did a good job!

Scolding will come, but Yao Qian has to admit that the quality of Zhou Yi's four songs can indeed play a role in Elva Hsiao's career - there needs to be a market, and there needs to be a breakthrough in style.

Facts have proved that at a time when the quality of Zhouyi's creations is becoming more and more widely known, this name is a guarantee of quality——

As of July 11, the number of pre-order purchases for the album alone exceeded 100,000 in Taiwan.

Elva Hsiao's popularity can support at most about 60,000 pre-sales. After Zhou Yi's name was listed in the producer column, it directly rose to the 100,000 level.

This is Zhou Yi’s current influence in the domestic music scene!

Yao Qian was both happy and worried.

What I'm happy about is that Elva Hsiao's grades will definitely not be bad this time. What I'm worried about is whether that little brat Zhou Yi will abduct Elva Hsiao to Warner Bros.

Although Zhou Yi himself has not expressed this intention so far, he has also said that Xiao Yaxuan staying in Viking is the right answer. But I can’t bear it. Warner also has Chen Zeshan who is good at poaching people. What if he takes up the banner of Zhou Yi?

In Yao Qian's wild thoughts, on July 13, Elva Hsiao's new album was released for only one day, and the potential to become a popular hit album was blindly obvious——

The four songs written by Zhou Yi for her all appeared on the charts of major radio stations.

Among them, a MV called "Pirates" attracted the attention of a giant on the other side of the ocean who was collecting information related to Zhouyi because of its unique MV theme.

America, Disney.

People who originally just wanted to collect information about Zhou Yi, who topped the album chart by air, were stunned after seeing the MV of the song "Pirates"——

Because she thought of another big project in Disney headquarters that had been prepared and was starting to form a crew: "Pirates of the Caribbean."

Although she doesn't understand Chinese, she can still read and understand the melody and various pirate intentions in the MV.

So, she took this MV and sent it to Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer specially hired by Disney.

Jerry, who attaches great importance to the project of "Pirates of the Caribbean", must do the best even in terms of scoring. For this reason, he has been looking for someone who can complete the project that meets his standards.

"Jerry, are you interested in chatting with Spike, who has become very popular recently? I think he seems to be very interested in the profession of pirates, and he even helped her friend make a MV with the same Pirates of the Caribbean theme. .”
