Chapter 346 The Six Virtues of Zhouyi

"Next Year Today" is included in Chen Yixun's Cantonese album "The Line-Up", which was released on July 24 this year. Once released, it quickly occupied the top rankings in Hong Kong and Guangdong, solidifying its position as a first-line singer in the Cantonese region.

For non-Cantonese-speaking listeners, they may be more familiar with the Mandarin version of this song, "Ten Years", which was released in 2003 after rewriting the lyrics.

"Chen Yixun performed very well this year, whether in the Mandarin market or the Cantonese market. If nothing else happens, next year's major award ceremonies in Hong Kong will be his harvest moment."

Qian Jiang was not blindly confident. Instead, he analyzed this stumbling block in the Hong Kong music scene for Zhou Yi——

This year can be said to be the year when Chen Yixun has been crazy about improving his status and popularity.

In April, he released a Mandarin album "Special Thanks to". The two songs "Thank You" and "Your Backpack" in it successfully helped him break into the mainland market. Coupled with the overwhelming performance of "Today Next Year" in the Cantonese region, it can be said that Hong Kong singers have a good future in 2002.

At least until now, whether it is Yu Wenle or Chen Guanxi, who have high hopes from the outside world, the performance of their albums is actually unsatisfactory, and they were hung up and beaten by Chen Yixun alone.

Especially Chen Guanxi.

As the good brother of the top music star Xie Tingfeng in the past, Chen Guanxi, who intentionally or unintentionally tied him up in marketing when Xie Tingfeng was at his peak in the past few years, was quite popular. Xie Tingfeng himself didn't care about this. Instead, he was happy to give his good brother news coverage every now and then.

Driven by his manager Gan Jingjing, Chen Guanxi looked like a new-generation little king - and then his album became thinner year by year.

In order to build momentum for Chen Guanxi when he first debuted, Yinghuang gave him the Best Newcomer Sales Award. Chen Guanxi, who took the ruffian route, also had great intentions of overtaking and catching up with Xie Tingfeng - and then there was no such thing. .

This year, Xie Tingfeng's accident happened. Out of disappointment, Yinghuang urgently piled up resources on Chen Guanxi, Chen Yixun, Twins and Rong Zhuer. In the end, the only one with crotch extension was Chen Guanxi——

On August 29, his long-prepared new album "Transition" was released, but it didn't make a splash.

The only lyrics from the songs in this album that will be spread in the future are the two lines at the beginning of the title song "I Never Told You", "Remember the summer of 2000, lying on the beach together and chatting...", which is still based on Jay Chou's "funny cover" Only then did it gain some popularity on the mobile Internet.

As for Wang Jie, who was having trouble with Yinghuang, his new album "Love and Dream" released in July caused him to completely lose his former glory and was directly stepped on by Chen Yixun.

"There are also fans of Xie Tingfeng. This is their territory after all. You have to be careful when you go out."

At the end, Qian Jiang gave a serious reminder.

Zhou Yi was surprised when he heard this at first: "Be careful? Can they still hit me?"

"You may have misunderstandings about the crazy fans of celebrities here in Hong Kong."

Qian Jiang smacked his lips a few times and said something that shocked him so much that he couldn't even close his mouth - "You didn't go to the Top Ten Golden Songs Awards last year in 2001. I don't know how normal it was. That day Sammi Cheng was crazy. Fans and Chen Huiling's ardent fans got into a fight on the street outside the awards venue. It was a full-on martial arts show and the scene got seriously out of control.

"Sammi Cheng herself was attacked with a stick by a fanatical fan of Chen Huiling, and Chen Huiling was hit on the head by a fanatical fan of Sammi Cheng..."

"...awesome."

Zhou Yi was immediately silenced. After a long while, he uttered a comment and gave a thumbs up while walking out of the room.

Sammi Cheng, a serious Warner diva; Chen Huiling, nicknamed Princess Lin in Hong Kong circles because of her prominent family background and power.

These two groups of security personnel were unable to control the situation at the scene, and the artist himself was attacked. You can imagine how out of control the scene was that day.

"Then I didn't send Xie Tingfeng in, so his fans wouldn't still hate me to this extent, right?"

"It's hard to say. Your fans are too arrogant. I don't rule out that someone will take advantage of it."

He raised his right thumb and pointed back at the five black SUVs behind the car. Qian Jiang gloated: "This is the extra security for you. Fansuizhengzheng, if you are so arrogant, your fans will naturally be the same. He goes around trampling on people and offends a lot of people."

"Get lost."

Zhou Yi curled his lips disdainfully.

"That's right, get out!"

Inside the True Light Girls' School.

The scolding Deng Shiyin enthusiastically opened the microphone to the fans of Xie Tingfeng, Chen Guanxi, Chen Yixun and others in the next class who were not very clean-mouthed: "A person with such traditional virtues as Zhou Yi is actually useless in the mouth of you guys?

"Why does he like to cause trouble? He is blind!"

"???"

"???"

Do you want to listen to what you are saying? ? ?

"Deng Shiyin, are you awake?"

? ? ?

"I'm awake, thank you."

"Eh?! Shiying, forget it..."

As the biggest Zhou Yi fan in the school, if there were other classmates around him who were not blocking him, Deng Shiyin would have been able to go up and fight with the opponent.

Afterwards, Deng Shiyin became more and more angry when she was looking up information in her self-study class in the computer room. She simply started surfing on the school's Internet and listed Zhou Yi's five virtues in detail, calling on fellow fans to stop being silent and use practical actions to help Zhou Yi defeat those who were swollen. Human face!

"Too many young people, middle-aged and elderly people in Hong Kong have misunderstandings about Zhou Yi. He is not a person who likes to cause trouble at all. On the contrary, he is the man with the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

“For example, number one: humility—

"Zhou Yi never takes the initiative to provoke any seniors. When facing real seniors, he has always been extremely humble. Have you not seen the evaluations of Zhou Yi by Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Chen Long and others?

"Among the singers of his generation, hasn't he always said that he admires the music of Jay Chou, Wang Lihong and others?

"Many people say that he is arrogant and domineering and young and energetic. But that is just because he said what he should say and did what he should do. The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed for who knows how many years, and some people have not cut their hair yet. Lose your braids!

"In addition to being humble, Zhou Yi is also very friendly. Even if he does charity and never publicizes it, if he hadn't extended a helping hand in time, Zhou Jielun might have died of gas poisoning. This is irrefutable proof..."

A long and eloquent article, showing off your talent!

Diligent: Zhou Yi has not only released three Chinese albums, one Chinese EP and one English album since his debut, but has also written songs for Elva Hsiao, Sun Yanzi and Zhang Shaohan. Subsequently, Zhou Yilai was invited to be the album producer many times.

At the same time, he is still giving concerts. Although the number of concerts is a bit limited, I would like to ask you whether they are held.

Isn't this Zhouyi not diligent?

Honesty: It means that Zhouyi has always said one thing and two things. He doesn't even care about the scandals that other celebrities avoid, and he never hides his past relationship status, and even wrote a song about it.

Isn't this kind of Zhouyi dishonest?

Rigorous: Refers to Zhou Yihui's rigorous attitude in the program to advise his student fans to study hard and go to school.

Brave: It means that Zhou Yi never succumbed to Zhou Runfa who relied on his old age and was never afraid of Eminem, the king of Europe and America. He just did it.

"Why do so many people still misunderstand such a man who combines the six traditional virtues of humility, friendliness, diligence, honesty, rigor and bravery?!"

At the end, Deng Shiyin was still trying to let more passers-by know the true face of Zhou Yi.

Because Deng Shiyin, a young fan, has a certain degree of popularity, it didn't take long for the Warner Public Relations Department to discover this Amway article written by her.

With their secret encouragement, this article soon became known to more people.

Of course, in addition to Deng Shiyin’s original version, there are also several adapted versions——

"From listening to the Four Heavenly Kings to listening to the Book of Changes, what you are listening to is the development of the times and the changes in history";

"Every generation has its own memory of youth, and Zhou Yi broke into the existence of our youth."

"Our growth is from the Four Heavenly Kings to the Book of Changes";

"Chinese-style Family: Zhouyi teaches us how to understand the emotions of parents."

"..."

Under the influence of Warner's public relations department's invisible bombing, "Our Growth is from the Four Heavenly Kings to the Book of Changes" successfully became a hit and gained the greatest attention in Hong Kong in a short period of time——

Many middle-aged and elderly people who are not familiar with Zhou Yi and are not familiar with it have a good impression of him after hearing "Mom and Dad", a family song that almost perfectly describes the Chinese family.

Take another look——

This young man actually has so many virtues?

Not bad.

Thursday, October 17, 2002.

The Hong Kong music scene is on high alert——

Because after more than two weeks, the songs in the album of The Man Named Zhou Yi finally completed their accumulation, and all entered the top 20 on the on-demand charts of RTHK, Metro Radio and other large chain KTVs such as Qiangui!

Zhou Yi's powerful appeal combined with Warner's horror marketing allowed the most unpopular song "Ghost" in the "Lianshan" album to be ranked at the 20th gatekeeper on the major daily charts, shocking everyone. Singer and producer’s chin——

Doesn’t it mean that this kind of socially appealing song won’t be too popular? !

Why are you breaking the rules? !

On the 18th, the Hong Kong IFPI Recording Association and Radio Television Hong Kong, the most credible record sales statistics organization in Hong Kong, released a sales chart on the same day——

"According to the daily sales statistics from the Hong Kong Record Chamber of Commerce and major record stores, the album sales of "Lianshan" accounted for 60% of the Hong Kong record market on October 17, and the remaining 10% was his English album "Attitude Show" 》……”

In other words, in the past day, Zhou Yi alone dominated 70% of the entire Hong Kong record sales market? !

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a marketing component, after all, there are a lot of prefixes, and the sales ratio is even accurate to Thursday.

But this does not prevent Zhou Yi from being directly pursued and reported by Hong Kong media——

"Crazy Thursday!" For 50 yuan, Zhouyi will give you a gourmet feast! 》
