China Entertainment 2000

Zhou Yi doesn't know Zhou Jianhui's thoughts, because the phone in his hand is not off now, and he doesn't have time to see Zhou Jianhui yet——

After he landed and turned his phone back on, He Xi's number and text messages came in one after another.

Classmates, teachers, friends, and even people he met after the Spring Festival Gala, he was embarrassed to give up on them all, after all, these were all sincere blessings.

At this moment, he wished that all these people could use QQ, so that he could copy and reply in groups with one click, which would save trouble and—well, no, QQ in 2002 didn’t seem to have this function.

Qian Jiang, who had also been talking on the phone as soon as he turned on the phone, licked his lips that were slightly dry from talking for a long time, picked up the cup and stood up to drink water, while also pouring a cup of warm water for Zhou Yi.

"I thought your return with great honor this time would cause a big sensation, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation. So many people want to get to know you."

After hanging up the last call, Qian Jiang looked at Zhou Yi, who was still replying to others through text messages, and his eyes narrowed with laughter: "There are even people who represent the official among them. You have grown up this time." Face, the domestic mainstream media all praises Qian Qingsheng."

"It's all imaginary, why don't you give me something practical."

Returning to a familiar city and looking at the familiar scenery, Zhou Yi, who was in a good mood, put down his mobile phone, took a sip of saliva and joked: "Give me a tax reduction or rebate, which is more practical than anything else."

"You can rest assured that with your current level of achievement, the relevant parties will give you the green light all the way without us having to ask."

Qian Jiang also smiled, moved his strong ass, and leaned on the corner of the table with determination: "Do you think any of the people who called me just now are related staff?"

For a music superstar like Zhou Yi now, the treatment he enjoys is naturally completely different from before.

"I will help you with these trivial matters. You can just rest assured to rehearse the concert these two days."

Qian Jiang, who also established a lot of contacts during his trip abroad, suggested: “Also, my suggestion is that you’d better hire a dedicated team to take responsibility for the financial audit issues in various countries around the world that your English album involves.

"You can recruit some people from your own investment company, and then recruit some contacts from Peking University, so that the two can be cross-verified, so you can rest assured."

Regarding Zhouyi's investment, everyone at Warner is clear about it. The key is that Zhouyi has not betrayed anyone. He has been burning money to "play" on the Internet and the stock market without taking it seriously.

According to Qian Jiang's estimate, with Zhou Yi's dazzling results, the tax he needs to pay this time will be much more than the normal settlement after the official green light and subsidies are finally settled.

"Also, this is what the company has compiled about the situation in the Chinese music scene these days after you left. You can check it out."

After saying that, Qian Jiang also threw a document on his desk to Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the sofa. The latter opened it and looked at it, and he was immediately happy.

There is one more acquaintance in my memory——

The Shin Band, which debuted with the band's album of the same name, quickly rose to prominence in Taiwan and the Mainland with "Love Even If You Die" and "One Night InBJ". After two months of fermentation, it became popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in the three places on Warner Bros. This document is specifically highlighted in red.

SHE's new album "Youth Co., Ltd." which lost to Angela Chang in the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer, has not entered the mainland market for half a year. For this reason, Huayan Records has found many creators to customize it specifically for them. A new album "Brave New World"——

It will be released on August 5th, and intensive publicity mode has already begun.

Liang Jingru's "Happy Breakup" quickly opened up the market after entering the mainland, and now it has basically spread throughout the streets. Her extremely high singing popularity made her become the young female singer in the mainland market whose popularity is second only to Elva Hsiao and Stefanie Sun. She has completely secured her position as the new sister of Rolling Stone Records.

Eason Chan, who has officially entered the Mandarin song market, released a Mandarin album in April. "Thank You" and "Your Backpack" have been fermenting to this day, which directly made him stand out in the mainland and won some popularity in non-Guangdong areas.

In the Cantonese-speaking region, Eason Chan also released his latest Cantonese album today. The Cantonese song "Next Year Today" in the album was released as the lead single before the album. Once it was released, it was popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong, ranking higher than all songs in Zhou Yiying's album.

After Cheng Zhongji and Xie Tingfeng, two generations of highly praised princes in Hong Kong, fell under the same threshold one after another, Hong Kong circles began to consciously praise this young singer with excellent singing skills, and the title of "Successor to the God of Songs" began to be meaningful. conducted a tentative publicity to see the mass market feedback.

Of course, the most important ones are Jay Chou and Tao Zhe, two recognized talents in the music industry.

On July 18, Jay Chou officially released his third album "Eight Degrees of Space".

Although the album was criticized by many people when it was first released, it was not progressive and was replicating the successful model of the previous album "Fantasy", but this did not prevent the album from selling well.

However, compared to the previous two albums, Jay Chou has not produced many hit songs in this album. Currently, there are only three songs "Peninsula Iron Box", "Back to the Past" and "Dragon Fist".

Among them, the song "Dragon Fist" only became known to young people because of the Pepsi advertisement, and many people said that it was a waste of talent.

Especially after comparison with Zhou Yi, the "Great Zhou" who had already gone to the world to kill a lot of people and returned.

Tao Zhe, who announced that he will release his new album "Black Willow" on August 9, has also started intensive publicity recently, but his problems will be more embarrassing than Jay Chou -

As we all know, Li Zongsheng once said, "You can easily find two thousand musicians like Tao Zhe in the United States." Although this sentence was not meant to belittle Tao Zhe, it was to express Tao Zhe's musical expression from another dimension. It is a more pure American R\u0026B.

But after Zhouyi achieved such dazzling results, the questions Tao Zhe was asked by the media were more embarrassing -

Some things like "Tao Zhe actually came back after he couldn't make it in the American music scene", ""Love Is Very Simple" started with English lyrics and was written in 1993. Later it was refilled with Chinese lyrics and became a hit" and so on. Word of mouth began to permeate the Internet following Tao Zhe's promotional activities.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the trumpet skillfully, and started surfing and eating melon——

The cause of the matter is very simple: his fans were shouting online without paying attention to the occasion, saying "Zhou Yi is the only true god in the Chinese music scene", which directly led to Tao Zhe, who had worked in the U.S. Police Department. , musical talents who have worked behind the scenes were affected.

Others who had the same experience as him were Leehom Wang, who got the qualification to eat at the table with "Descendants of the Dragon" and "The One and Only".

"Leehom Wang is a pure American. His fans said that when he first came from the United States, he couldn't even speak Mandarin, and everything he wrote and spoke was in English.

"If that's the case, then why doesn't he just make his debut in the American music scene? Look at the Book of Changes, China has grown up and exported it to the United States! He is making money from Americans. Wang Leehom, an American, even traveled across the ocean to make money from Chinese people. money."

Wang Leehom: "..."

Leehom Wang, who is currently preparing for the recording of his next album "Incredible" at Sony, almost lost his temper and had his blood pressure rise when he saw these comments——

Can I take advantage of this?

Aren't you talking about Tao Zhe? ?

Tao Zhe and Wang Leehom, who were hit hard by the pain point, could not refute for a while. After all, Zhouyi is now very powerful, and real money and silver achievements are here. Facing the media who are following the trend like flies, they can only laugh and laugh...

"I listened to Zhou Yi's English book. It was great. I also sent him a text message to congratulate him." Tao Zhe, who had to appear in front of various media due to the promotion of "Black Willow", became a fake smile boy.

Then, under questioning from the media, the fake smile on his face became somewhat unbearable——

"Then, Tao Zhe, do you have any plans to release an English album in the future?"

"Well, I think this will happen, and I do have this plan, but currently my focus is still on the new album "Black Willow" that will be released soon."

For Leehom Wang, the media’s problem is even more fatal——

"Lehom, are you confident in your new album? There are rumors that your new album will also be released in October. Is this true? Are you going to compete with Zhou Yi's new Chinese album "Lianshan" ?”

"Well, the release time of my album actually doesn't overlap with Zhou Yi's. My next album should be around mid-October next year.

"And the relationship between us is not this kind of relationship. I like Zhou Yi's music very much. The communication between me and him started a long time ago on the global music charts."

Mainland, Shenzhen, Wahaha event site.

Wang Leehom, who was holding a lot of microphones in his hands, had a princely smile on his face, and answered reporters' questions amidst the screams of fans: "As for an English album, I do have this idea, and I personally do I came up with it, but it mainly depends on the company’s arrangements.”

And Jay Chou, who is promoting his new album "Eight Dimensions of Space", also did not escape the treatment of being questioned by media reporters - "I called Ayi to express my joy."

When someone asked about the performance of Good Brothers, Jay Chou's smile was somewhat exuberant: "As for the English album, I do have some ideas. I can't let A Yi Zhuan be more beautiful than before."

Among the most high-profile talents in the music industry, so far, Jay Chou is the only one who has so straightforwardly stated that he also has plans to release an English album.

The excited reporter immediately asked, "How many songs have you composed now?"

"Oh, that's not the case. I'm still asking Ayi to recommend some reliable English teachers to me. I'll learn English first."

Jay Chou, who was not good at English, suddenly had a bright smile on his face: "As you know, my English was not good when I was in school."

Reporters: "..."

Are you fucking kidding me?

learn English? !

I checked my scores - Damn it! My English scores are really not good.

The past experience of being a bad student has become Jay Chou's best protection at this moment. Wang Leehom and Tao Zhe, who have been marketing their graduates from prestigious foreign schools, are in bad luck.

As if seeing the embarrassment of Wang Leehom and Tao Zhe, when Zhou Yi started to go to the concert venue for rehearsals, everyone from Hong Kong's four kings to the new generation singers was greeted countless times about the English album plan——

The most embarrassing one among them is undoubtedly the singer Jacky Cheung.

He actually released an English album, but the actual sales were so low that he didn't even notice it. With all the promotion over the years, he simply ignored the album and pretended it had never been released.

No one took it seriously at first, but under the passive pressure of Zhou Yi, Jacky Cheung’s old background was revealed by the media again...

"Is this how you return to the God of Singing?"

"Nonsence!"

"Zhou Yi is the new god of singing!"

"No, what level of singing god can he compare to Zhou Yi? Let's just call him the Asian Singing Saint. In terms of power, a saint is much higher than a god."

Zhou Yi's fans, who were so swollen to the extreme, attacked everywhere and directly gave Zhou Yi the title of "Asian Singer".

Don't ask, the question is, our Zhouyi B-chart song and album double crown, what title do you have? How many sales?

What? International awards? None of that matters! Sales is king!

With only one world sales award, Zhouyi fans tacitly avoided talking about the award.

Stefanie Sun, who was eating watermelon, turned on the trumpet at home and watched the fandom war. She sat cross-legged on a chair and was very happy to watch. But not long after, she also experienced the treatment of being attacked by friendly forces——

"Do you know how to brag? What is the World Sales Award for the best-selling artist in China? Do you know that you shouldn't ask for the following sentence?

"Kick it, it's a pig's head, and it will hold you back."

Stefanie Sun, who still had black watermelon seeds remaining at the corner of her mouth, was stunned.

Three seconds later, she blinked her eyes and opened her mouth in disbelief. Her hands holding the watermelon were shaking with anger, and then she took a big bite!

kick me?

kick me? !

Stefanie Sun wanted to argue, but failed to do so several times...

"Tsk, who is this person?"

Having broken her defense, Stefanie threw away the watermelon rind, tapped the table with her right index finger erratically, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue. After thinking for a while, she started typing on the keyboard, her expression becoming increasingly ferocious as time went by.

at last……

I don’t want to play anymore!

Stefanie Sun, who played the spiritual victory method, ran away decisively, humming a song with her backpack, ran downstairs, and took a car to the company to find Zhou Yi.

ps: The electrocardiogram is fine, but the transaminase is a bit high, just because I stayed up late.

I came back a bit late tonight from the hospital waiting for the report, so this is the update.

I owed an update yesterday, I owe an update today, and I will make up for it tomorrow.

Four updates tomorrow.
