China Entertainment 2000

In Chengdu in October 2002, the weather was so hot that even dogs on the road had to lie on the curb, sticking out their tongues and not wanting to move.

Zhang Jie, who felt that he had discovered the big secret of Zhou Yi's album, went directly to the nearest dark Internet cafe. After turning on the phone, he skillfully logged into the Tianya account. He first browsed the relevant sections about Zhou Yi's new album. wind direction--

30% are calling Zhou Yi a thief, 40% are arguing, 15% are discussing other singers, and the remaining 15% are trying to take advantage of others.

Even if there are people who have listened to and watched the entire "Lian Shan" album and have doubts, there are only a few replies, and they are quickly washed away by other popular posts on the page.

The most lively issue right now is undoubtedly the dispute between the musicality and popularity of Zhou Yi's new album.

The cause of the matter originated from a post posted by a poster on Tianya who often recommended various niche songs——

"Zhou Lang has exhausted his talents. He has written too much guava and has put him into his comfort zone. Zhou Yi is wasting his talent."

Zhou Yi, who just released a new album, directly commented that Zhou has exhausted his talents, which also aroused the resonance and comments of some people.

"Zhou Yi is simply wasting his talent. He shouldn't have written songs like "Dimples", "Today You Will Marry Me", and "Fairy Tale". They have no musicality at all. It's not like he doesn't have the ability to write. The four songs in front of A all hold up in terms of arrangement and meaning.”

"The fifth song "Mom and Dad" at least has decent lyrics, and it's very penetrating about a Chinese-style family."

"I agree. There are more and more guavas in his albums. As a long-time fan who has been following them all this time, I am really sad. The songs "Baby" in his English album are also groundbreaking songs without any meaning."

"Zhou Yi is becoming more and more like a music businessman rather than a musician. Disappointed..."

"Fairy Tale"'s extremely sweet heart-wrenching stabs already made Zhou Yi's popularity in Tianya soaring to an all-time high. This sudden criticism that Zhou Yi should not release such a guava trash song immediately aroused strong condemnation——

A forum war started.

What started as a small-scale discussion escalated into a war of words within just a few hours.

"No, buddy, we scolded Zhou Yi for not being a human being, but you directly escalated it to the point that we have poor taste. What do you mean? Without sales, the musicality you talk about is nothing, do you know?"

"If you want elegant musicality, you can listen to classical music. There is no need to find a sense of presence in pop music. Zhou Yi played Chopin's Nocturne in the extended version of the MV for "In the Name of the Father". You can cut it out and listen to it alone."

"It's not like Zhouyi doesn't have some musical songs at the bottom of the box, so why bother?"

"..."

In the era before word blocking and building evacuation, there were not a few Internet bugs who began to express their anger through a network cable.

As far as Zhang Jie can see now, this dispute has the tendency to turn into a butt fight.

As a fan of Zhouyi, Zhang Jie, who had never been so mad before, thought for a moment, and then started to let himself go online and fired a map gun——

"Everyone who scolds Zhou for his exhaustion of talent has not understood the concept Zhou Yi's new album wants to express!" 》

"You may understand music, but you definitely don't understand Zhouyi, let alone albums!

"An album must face the market. If the market response is not good, then the singer will not have the opportunity to release a second album, no matter how strong his musicality is.

"As the King of Heaven, Zhou Yi will have the opportunity to try and make mistakes, but why should he try and make mistakes?

"What's more, in my opinion, Zhou Yi achieved the musicality you boast about even with the guava you despise - this album "Lian Shan" is actually a discussion of the social environment and the growth of people's hearts.

"In the first song "Can you feel my world", the character played by Zhou Yi is still a normal person, troubled by the suffocating family environment and complaining about his parents' education methods;

"In the second song "Ghost", Zhou Yi entered the social environment and was directly assimilated by the large number of ghosts around him. The fact that Zhou Yi's face turned into a faceless man at the end of the MV is the irrefutable proof.

"The Killer" shows a distorted Zhou Yi step by step into the struggle for gang power. He uses the idea of ​​killing the girl who doesn't like him as a metaphor for having blood on his hands. At the same time, it shows that his character has been completely distorted and cannot be obtained. will be destroyed;

"At the beginning of "In the Name of the Father", Zhou Yi, whose status had already risen, could not sleep well and had nightmares frequently, so he walked into the church and prepared to put down the butcher knife. But the murder of his family forced him to go out and meet the gangster daughter. They fought and intrigued together until he finally killed everyone and became the godfather, unable to look back.

"These four songs actually talk about how a normal child collapses step by step in a distorted family environment, growth environment, educational environment and social environment. They express the alienation of people by this bad environment and education methods.

"As for the fifth song on side A, which is also the last song, Zhou Yi wrote about a new family, a very Chinese family: "Mom and Dad".

"From here on, Zhou Yi changed his narrative perspective, starting from a child who grew up in a normal family environment with a strict father and a loving mother who went home to attend the funeral of his parents, and told the story of a normal person growing up in a normal social environment.

“He goes through the old school reunion in ‘Cheers,’ showing that camaraderie is still there, friends are still there;

"He has a lover, from love to engagement, "Little Dimple" and "Today You Will Marry Me" respectively.

“Then, he suffered another blow after the death of his family at the beginning: his lover also passed away from leukemia.

"You can find that the two Zhou Yis in the AB side suffered almost the same blow. All their families and wives died. But because of the different education, family environment and social background they received since childhood, the final choices of the two were completely different. Don't.

"The Mafia Mafia Zhou Yi in Side A has blood on his hands and can no longer look back. Carrying the name of Godfather, he is waiting for endless revenge from others. The blood and sins begin an infinite cycle;

"Zhou Yi on the B side sang "Mr. Lonely" to heal himself. Regarding the "ghost in his heart", he did not let it go freely. Instead, he relied on his own upbringing and reason to suppress all negative emotions.

"If you don't believe it, take a closer look at the lyrics of the song "Mr. Lonely" to see if there is a line "Awaken the ghost in your heart", and the ghost is still trying to persuade him to lose his mind.

"This is in response to the second song on side A, "Ghost".

"Zhou Yi in Side A failed to contain the awakened ghost in his heart due to his twisted character, and thus suffered heavy blood debts and sins;

"Zhou Yi on side B has suppressed the awakened ghost in his heart because of his normal character. He can only comfort himself and look away. It doesn't matter, just look forward.

"The direct reason for the big difference in their personalities is their different family and social environments. This is the concept of the album that Zhou Yi wants to express!

“That’s why he uses two female protagonists, but the male protagonist is only himself, which shows two different lives!

"The evidence is that there are many echoes in the AB side of Zhou Yi's album..."

After reading and understanding the article eloquently, Zhang Jie attached the evidence he found at the end, named the time points that appeared in each MV, and clicked publish.

Thanks to the map cannon of this title, people quickly clicked in——

Some people didn't look at it and just started scolding, while others were persuaded by this clear explanation of facts and reason, and left comments like "The poster is awesome" one after another;

Someone even asked bluntly whether you were hired by Warner Bros. Zhang Jie was so angry that he hit the keyboard on the spot and confronted him——

"I'm from Sichuan Normal University, what can I ask for?"

"Let me tell you, it turns out you are from a normal school. No wonder you are so good at reading comprehension. Even Zhou Yi himself couldn't get full marks when he came, right?"

"You xxxx!"

At the moment, Zhang Jie is in his prime of life. In reality, he is unable to vent his frustration because he has to go to a bar to sing and work to make money. He just uses this energy to vent all the accumulated dissatisfaction in his heart——

After squirting, he realized.

On this hellish Internet, not everyone is willing to tell you the facts and speak out rationally.

Just fucking need to be beaten and scolded through the network cable!

So he kept silent about the fact that he majored in tourism and hotel management at Sichuan Normal University.
