China Entertainment 2000

"Yes! Our favorite is Zhou Yijun! We like him the most!"

"Look here, look here. We even bought all of Zhou Yijun's Chinese albums. At last year's campus festival, I won first place by performing the song "Baby"."

"What do you want to say to Zhou Yijun? The only thing I want to say is that I hope he can come to Japan to hold more concerts. But this is not easy, because Zhou Yijun's original concert plan was only in China."

"Warner, hurry up and work!"

"..."

In a random interview with an entertainment program on TV Asahi in Japan, when the JKs who were interviewed were asked about the Book of Changes, their eyes began to shine, and they were all scrambling to express their joy at the great success of their idols. .

Some people also took out their payment vouchers for purchasing the Zhouyi album package launched by Warner (Japan) - it can also be regarded as a promotion method for old albums in the past, allowing fans to purchase the complete Chinese version of Zhouyi at a relatively cost-effective price. CD album or cassette set.

Of course, if you want to buy an English album, I’m sorry, it’s not available, you can only buy it individually.

After all, the region in Asia that has been most severely affected by the Zhouyi Grammy effect is Japan - sales of genuine albums are rising steadily.

The second album "Forever Young" not only once again broke the first album sales record for Chinese singers, but also allowed Zhou Yi's total album sales in Japan to directly break the historical sales record of Chinese singers in Japan - more than 4.1 million copies.

Prior to this, Chen Meiling and Ouyang Feifei, two Chinese female singers who became popular in Japan in the 1970s and then married to Japan, had always held the album sales record of Chinese singers in Japan.

Among them, Ouyang Feifei's album announcement record is 2.66 million; Chen Meiling's is 3.99 million. Taking into account statistical errors, it should actually be over 4 million, which is the highest in the history of Chinese singers.

Zhou Yi achieved this with only two English albums.

Even, judging from this trend, it is not impossible that Zhou Yi's total album sales in Japan will catch up with or even surpass the scandal target Mariah Carey.

As the most popular American diva in the Japanese album market, Mariah Carey has directly sold more than 12 million genuine albums in the Japanese album market so far. If single sales are included, the number is even more. 20 million copies, far more than Madonna Ciccone, Kylie Minogue, Whitney Houston and others.

Warner Japan has recently received one petition letter after another about Japanese fans. Most of the content of the letter is asking Warner to arrange more Japanese tours for Zhou Yifu's "Star" concert so that their fans can Get a glimpse of your idol.

Of course, it’s not just written in Japan——

Fans in South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and other East Asian countries are also very eager to have Zhou Yilai hold a concert, and they keep writing to Warner to put pressure on him.

In addition, there are also many requests from fans in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and other European countries who are looking forward to Zhou Yi's concert.

The Star concert, which was originally just located in China, has become a world-class concert tour through several waves of popularity.

However, there is still one place in China that still does not allow Zhou Yi to perform publicly - Taiwan.

"Damn it! He dares to shout about fighting for equality in the United States, but what if he comes to perform?! I can't even imagine what he will shout about!"

That is to say, Zhou Yi's influence is too great now, and they have no way to restrict the sales of his albums, otherwise they will even have to restrict the albums.

I can only say that I regret it.

If his albums had been suppressed from the market when Zhou Yi was just starting out, I'm afraid it wouldn't be such a headache now.

The key is that a group of newly emerging musicians in Taiwan seem to be inextricably linked to Zhou Yi——

I won’t talk about the group of people at the beginning of the millennium, but let’s talk about the two newly rising people this year——

Lin Yichen, who starred in many Taiwanese idol dramas and became a phenomenon-level actress, was the actress in the MV for Zhouyi's song "Those Years". When attending an interview at an event, she was inevitably asked questions related to Zhouyi.

"I have sent a text message to congratulate Zhou Yi, but after all, there is a time difference between the United States and China, and it is not good for us to chat on the phone for too long."

Compared with those years ago, Lin Yichen, whose cheeks have lost some of the baby fat, smiled brightly when talking about Zhou Yi: "Zhou Yi is a very nice person, and I have always been grateful to him.

"The first drama in my life was because the director saw my performance in the "Those Years" MV. If I hadn't participated in the Zhouyi MV, I probably wouldn't have had this opportunity."

Talking about Lin Yichen's smiling face back then, I don't know how many female models and young actors secretly gritted their teeth.

damn it! Shit luck!

And if Lin Yichen's popularity only caused Zhou Yi's past metaphysical reputation to resurface in China, then Wang Xinling's strong rise has completely reminded Zhou Yi of his "Ziweixing" name——

On February 24, 2003, Wang Xinling, who finally graduated from school and also ended his training career, was rewarded by Ai Hui Records and released his first album of his career: "Cyndi Begin" with great expectations.

The title song "When You" in the album became Wang Xinling's biggest hit in Taiwan. Taking advantage of the opportunity to shoot Zhouyi's MV, her popularity directly matched that of Cai Yilin's hit single "Speaking of Love" which made a full comeback in Taiwan in early March. Comparable to you.

And the rumors between her and Lin Zhilin, the new most beautiful woman in Taiwan, are even more legendary——

"Cyndi, I heard that the reason why you were able to star in the MV of Zhou Yi's "Big City, Little Love" was because the opponent you defeated happened to be Lin Zhilin. Is this true?"

In early 2003, a nine-headed model named Lin Zhilin successfully rose to the top through a large number of marketing, advertising, and photo shoots, edging out Xiao Qiang and becoming the most beautiful woman in Taiwan.

As Wang Xinling became famous instantly, someone discovered that she had lost to Wang Xinling in the competition to be the actress in the Zhouyi MV. This caused an uproar in an instant.

There are so many people who have appeared in Zhouyi's MV and become famous.

Among those who were not selected, Lin Zhilin was the only one who succeeded by marketing his beauty and figure.

"I'm not very clear about this." Wang Xinling, who debuted as a Japanese singing and dancing idol, was interviewed by reporters after a handshake meeting. After being asked this sensitive question, he could only do Tai Chi.

"Then why did Zhou Yi choose you? Did you two really get together in private back then?"

"Of course we have never been together, although I think Zhou Yi would indeed be an ideal boyfriend."

"Including his love interest?"

"So it's just an ideal, isn't it?"

Wang Xinling, who knew that he could not escape Zhou Yi's problem, also refused to accept anyone who came. While filling up his traffic, he also revealed in his words that the carefree Zhou Yi was his boyfriend standard.

Lin Zhilin, who was somewhat brooding over his failure to be selected for the Zhouyi MV, was somewhat embarrassed when asked this question——

When asked if she could at least say a word or two, she had never even met Zhou Yi in person. She could only say that she really wanted to cooperate with Zhou Yi if we had the chance to meet him in the future.

"The Book of Changes is on full fire, and there are three more candidates for the Heavenly King's Wife!" 》

"Celebrating the Press Conference!" It was revealed that two female models accompanied Zhou Yi during his celebration in New York! 》

"Purple Micro Star Shines..."

"..."

In the past few days, the headlines in Taiwan's entertainment media are all about Zhou Yi's Grammy and various female singers and actresses. Even the news about the suspected quarrel between "double J love" did not make the headlines.

Cai Yilin, completely desperate, lay down.

Tired, destroy it, love it as it is.

Even Chen Zeshan was trying to persuade her to stop temporarily and stop wasting her efforts.

Sometimes, no matter how hard the earthly talent tries, it is still unable to withstand the continuous explosion of genius.

Chen Zeshan's words stung Cai Yilin.

The only thing she can comfort herself now is that her comeback album "Look at My 72 Changes" has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and the songs are popular enough.

"In terms of understanding pop music, I don't want to say that Zhou Yi has left behind all the singers in the Chinese music world, but this is a fact."

Li Zongsheng himself also talked about what Zhou Yi did in the United States in an interview, and then smiled and admitted his shortcomings: "The development of pop music comes from the West, there is no doubt about it.

“When The Beatles and Elvis Presley debuted, our domestic music scene didn’t even fully understand the concept of pop music, what types it was divided into, how to make it, and how to integrate Chinese words.

“For so many years, generations of domestic musicians have been trying to improve the overall development level of the music scene and the public’s music aesthetics.

"We are all very aware of the gap between the domestic music scene and the European and American music scene, because we started too late, but the appearance of Zhou Yi broke my understanding..."

Luo Dayou, who had just held a commemorative concert in Guangzhou before the SARS outbreak in February, is now walking at home. When asked about Zhou Yi on the show, he inevitably smiled and sighed: "There is no doubt that Zhou Yi is a miracle.

“Chinese people’s ability to sing in English is actually very weak because it is not our mother tongue.

"But Zhou Yi can not only grasp the essence of Chinese songs, but also the essence of English songs. For this reason alone, he is number one."

Due to the outbreak of SARS, the attention of a large number of people who have stopped working at home has been attracted by the entertainment industry. Various evaluations of Zhou Yi by Taiwanese musicians including Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng and others have frequently appeared in the newspapers, and they have to be refreshed every now and then. I was full after eating the melon.

Naturally, the praise from these two Taishan Beidou aroused enthusiastic responses.

As for the mainland music scene, during this special stay-at-home period, competition in the field of TV dramas has been extremely fierce. Co-produced TV dramas such as "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" have directly grabbed the remote controls in the hands of a large number of viewers. A few days ago, another TV series came out "Golden Pink Family" was born——

Sha Baoliang, who has entered the public eye with Chen Kun, Dong Jie, Liu Yifei and others with the pension insurance-level song "Secret Fragrance", has become one of the few singers in the mainland music scene who can gain attention under the pressure of Zhou Yi .

"When the petals leave the flower, the secret fragrance remains~" This lyric quickly swept the country with the launch of "Golden Pink Family", and "Secret Fragrance" immediately climbed up the major song popularity lists.

Although the most explosive news in March was Zhou Yi's news in the United States, due to the fact that the domestic audience of English songs is still not as good as that of Chinese, plus the continuous popularity of TV series, "Secret Fragrance" also defeated Huang Zheng and Yu Quan's "Running" and several English songs by Zhou Yi directly topped the Chinese charts.

However, just when everyone thought that the next April would be a time when Zhou Yi in the United States would continue to rely on English songs to compete with domestic singers, on April 1, 2003, an explosive piece of news The speed shocked the entire Chinese entertainment industry——

Hong Kong superstar Leslie Cheung jumped off the 24th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong at 18:43 that day without any abnormal behavior before, ending his life at the age of 46.

"What did you say? Zhang Guorong is dead?!"

Qian Jiang, who was far away in the United States, opened his eyes in disbelief when he received the news. The voice suddenly rose an octave higher, causing Zhou Yi, who was resting in the car, to open his eyes and take away the sunhat covering his face. .

"Okay, I understand. You can make arrangements and send a wreath and condolence message to A Yi."

After hanging up the phone, Qian Jiang saw Zhou Yi waking up and thought he had also been awakened. He couldn't help but sigh: "The news about Chen Zeshan is that Zhang Guorong jumped off the building."

As a middle-aged man who grew up in Hong Kong, he can be said to have personally experienced the years when Tan and Zhang were competing for supremacy in the Hong Kong music scene. When he suddenly heard the news that Leslie Cheung committed suicide by jumping off a building, the emotions that surged in his heart were self-evident.

The city of Houston, which has not yet dawned, is as foggy as Qianjiang's mood at the moment.

Zhou Yi's team, who had just gotten off the plane, were taking a car to a pre-booked hotel to rest. Tomorrow Zhou Yi would have to start his running course in Houston.

"There is really no way to deal with depression. He can only get out of this situation on his own. It's a pity that he didn't get out of it."

Arriving at the door of the hotel, Qian Jiang was filled with emotion. He got out of the car and opened the door first, and then walked into the hotel with Zhou Yi, followed closely by a team with several times more security guards.

Since the "Fight for Equality" on the 17th, Zhou Yi, whose public opinion in the United States has completely reversed, now has to double his security. What Warner is most afraid of is that some stupid young man or a psychotic gunman will appear and kill Zhou Yi - this Not without precedent.

The most famous is Mark David Chapman, the gunman who shot and killed John Lennon, the soul of the Beatles.

As for why this man wanted to kill John Lennon and whether he was really mentally ill, too much time has passed and it is impossible to know the original truth. The only thing Warner can be sure of now is to be careful and careful again.

Every event, every meeting, and every music festival must be strictly searched, for fear that Zhou Yi will die at gunpoint.

Warner just bought Zhou Yi's press release about the Beatles, and had no intention of letting Zhou Yi suffer the same fate as the Beatles' lead singer.

"I'm afraid that's the extent of the security for Michael Jackson's trip."

After getting on the elevator, inserting the card into the room and throwing the luggage aside, Zhou Yi smiled and joked about Qian Jiang's routine of conducting various inspections.

As the copper smelting scandal intensifies, the king of modern pop music, whose total global album sales are second only to the Beatles and has exceeded 340 million copies, is close to being ruined.

In order to prevent excessive and psychotic gunmen from coming to trouble him, and perhaps to prevent himself from being plotted by the capital hiding behind the scenes, Michael Jackson's security level has reached an extremely exaggerated level.

"Then you are better than him. After all, you are a business card-level person to the outside world. Those big capitals still won't touch you. They even want to beg you to join. For example, Sony has always wanted to take action against Michael Jackson."

After carefully checking everything, Qian Jiang stood still with a smile, put his hands on his hips and took a breath.

Since Zhou Yi has confirmed that he will continue to cooperate with Warner as a partner in Greater China in the future, he naturally no longer has to hide and tuck in for fear that Zhou Yi will run away with other companies.

"He has too many copyrights. If he only had the copyrights for the songs he wrote himself, he would not be targeted and would even be very popular."

Zhou Yi fell on the soft sofa and stretched his waist comfortably.

People are multi-faceted.

It is true that Michael Jackson is the king of philanthropic pop, but he was also criticized for being greedy and using various means to buy the copyright libraries of other singers.

The Beatles have sold more than 400 million albums worldwide, the highest sales in history. He owns the copyright, and even holds 90% of it. Paul McCartney, a member of the Beatles who also wanted to buy the copyright back, yelled that MJ was a fool. Not a son of man.

You must know that when Michael Jackson first purchased the rights to the Beatles, it was because of the recommendation from his friend Paul McCartney. Later, when he purchased the rights from the copyright owner again, he was betrayed when Paul wanted to join forces with the band members to lower the price. He stabbed him and won the copyright at a price just slightly higher than Paul's.

Since then, Paul McCartney has been estranged from Michael Jackson, and their friendship has ceased.

Elvis Presley has sold more than 300 million albums worldwide, the third best-selling album in history, and he also owns the copyright;

He himself is the second best seller in history, so he also has the copyright, and then he also has the copyright of Bob Dylan...

Just the value of the copyrights of top singers, groups and himself after the millennium are valued at as high as one billion US dollars. This does not include the fact that these copyrights are actually increasing in value every year, and at the same time, they are constantly giving him Provide various cash flows.

As for the company he is partnering with Sony, he will automatically receive dividends ranging from 10-30% according to the terms of the contract based on the copyright income of other singers' songs, plus the dividends from the shares he owns as a shareholder of the company. In the end, It seems that Sony not only paid him for free, but also paid him back.

It’s not like Sony didn’t think about reconciling with the King of Pop at first. We are partners. I can support you as a facade. At least you don’t look so ugly and let me back you. After all, you earn so much. Well, I am a big businessman who wants to save face when he comes out to hang out in the world.

But several negotiations ended unhappily, and Sony simply turned the table over in the end.

Zhou Yi will have to learn this lesson when the time comes. He doesn't want to argue with Warner yet. After all, Warner can help him solve a lot of troubles, and he happens to be a person who doesn't like trouble.

Moreover, his ambitions are not big, as long as the copyright written by him is his own, this is one of the sources of "pension" in the future.

Sure enough, there aren’t many singers who are as considerate as me~

After shamelessly embellishing himself, Zhou Yi was about to take a shower and have a good sleep. He would go to the Rockets stadium to meet Yao Ming tomorrow. As soon as Zhou Yi put down his phone, Qian Jiang pressed down on him——

"One more thing, Microsoft is coming to find you."

"?"

"Your ppt."

When talking about this matter, Qian Jiang's expression on his face did not freeze: "They were full of praise for your ppt, plus they have always wanted to further expand their market influence in China. So I plan to have a special cooperation with you.”

"cooperate?"

"Please authorize or purchase this PPT. They plan to cooperate with our country's anti-drug policy by deleting some parts that are too bloody and mentioning 50 cents. They will only retain the dangers of drugs and promote them for free."

"..."

Zhou Yi opened his mouth in surprise.

Microsoft, you thick eyebrows and big eyes have also done this?

"No, if you delete 50 Cents, why should I sell it? Tell them that if I keep the image of 50 Cents, I can license it to them for ten years at a price of 1 US dollar. If not, the price of 50 Cents is fine." Zhou Yi immediately said be opposed to.

Qian Jiang helplessly asked: "Ayi, is there a possibility that Microsoft, as a commercial company, will be sued if it uses 50 Cent's personal image without permission?"

"Is Microsoft still afraid of this?" Zhou Yi's tone was contemptuous, and he sounded like a scumbag who knew the law and broke the law.

"That's certainly the case so far."

"Then change the requirement, not just as a case display of China's anti-drug propaganda ppt, but globally."

In line with the mentality of being patient no matter what, Zhou Yi proposed another solution: "If you agree, you will be authorized for 50 cents for ten years, if you don't agree, you will be pulled down."

Just sending it in China is of no use, and I can’t see the 50 cents, so why don’t I use it as a special supply for the country?

"...It's okay. I'll bring someone back to talk to Microsoft, but I guess it's unlikely to succeed."

With that said, Qian Jiang laid out a few more contracts: "Oh, by the way, one more thing. The Apple and Nokia contracts have been negotiated. You sign them before going to bed."

Zhou Yi, who yawned, took it and turned it over. After confirming that it was OK, he signed his name.

As expected, due to the inclusion of tiered terms, Apple’s iPod endorsement fee has been significantly reduced to only 3 million US dollars for four years, but the tiered terms for song sales...

If Zhouyi sells 800,000 digital songs on the music store within six months, the share between Apple and Warner Zhouyi will be reduced to 2:8.

If 1 million units are sold within six months, the share will be reduced to 1:9 thereafter.

If 3 million songs are sold within six months, Apple will give Zhou Yi additional bonus incentives in the form of bonus conversion. The incentive part is sales of more than 3 million copies * 40%.

It can be said that in order to win over Zhouyi, a top super giant, Apple has shown its full sincerity. Of course, the difficulty is also very difficult in Jobs' view.

You must know that his initial goal was to sell 1 million songs within six months. Even if he succeeded, it would still be a super success like popping champagne and dancing in front of Amazon.

This is a gamble.

He is greedy for Zhou Yi's popularity and the increase in visibility, expansion of market influence, and role as a benchmark in the industry. Zhou Yi is greedy for the online music purchase market that no one has yet taken advantage of and squeezes Apple's wallet.

Apple originally wanted to sign a five-year contract and even add some money, but Zhou Yi rejected it.

Although others don't know, he still knows that after the second half of 2007, monthly or free streaming services will begin to officially launch and impact the Apple music market. At that time, there will be no need to cling to Apple.

However, when he turned to the next contract, Zhou Yi was stunned: "Nokia 20 million for three years? Damn it, did they take the wrong medicine?"

For a giant like Nokia that doesn't have to worry about selling, he thought it would be interesting enough to have a company worth seven to eight million US dollars.

"Motorola, Ericsson and Samsung intervened after your new album hit the top spot on the 17th." Qian Jiang smiled and his eyes almost narrowed into slits.

After the 17th of last month, Zhou Yi's personal reputation had a qualitative improvement in a short period of time, directly attracting several other mobile phone giants - each of them offered a price of 1,819, and almost failed to negotiate with Nokia. The team was furious.

Originally, they were able to take advantage of the endorsement deal they were about to sign soaring in the sky. But now, if they don't get the advantage, they may be taken advantage of...

Only then did he decisively offer two thousand, intending to settle on Zhou Yi first.

"Samsung can actually give you something higher. This one belongs to Samsung, and it's 23 million. Don't you also have an improper relationship with that little Samsung princess? Think about it?" Qian Jiang knocked on another contract and came over. .

"Relationships are relationships. The promotion resources of Nokia, a global hegemon, cannot be compared to Samsung mobile phones." Zhou Yi didn't even look at it.

At this point, when signing a global contract, it is no longer about money, but about the strength of channel promotion capabilities.

Although Motorola can still bounce around with love letters now, Nokia will be a real global hegemon in the next few years. It will not be easy for anyone to succeed, and there are promotion channels in Africa.

No matter how awesome your Samsung is, can you still sell mobile phones in Burkina Faso?

If Samsung had that ability, he wouldn't mind taking it.

As for Armani's global endorsement, this one is the least suspenseful. In order to show sincerity, Armani also added one million after the 17th, to 11 million US dollars for three years, simple and clear.

Soon, after Zhou Yi signed these three contracts and began to carry out activities in Houston, Warner officials also joined forces with the three major brands to announce Zhou Yi’s endorsement status to the public within three days at a rate of one per day, and stated that within the next three weeks, Three grand signing ceremonies will be held for Zhou Yi.

Correspondingly, 50 Cents was struggling to make ends meet and didn’t even get a single endorsement.

You must know that when he originally sold inspirational characters, there were actually endorsements who came to negotiate with him, but now everything is gone.

Some 50 Cent fans were still dissatisfied with this, but ended up getting angry comments from Zhouyi fans——

"You are the only hip-hop singers who are all involved in pornography, gambling and drugs, and you still want to be endorsed? Can you take a piss and look in the mirror? Should you endorse pornography or gambling? Or drugs?

"Eminem has been famous for so long and doesn't even have a high-end endorsement, don't you think?"

“What’s wrong with a quality icon like Spike having quality endorsements?”

"Spike is willing to fight for equality, your idol will only fight for pornography, gambling and drugs. Bah! Disgusting, despicable!"

"If anyone has a ticket for the Houston Rockets, please sell me a ticket. Thank you. It is said that Spike will go to the Rockets home court this week to support his compatriot Yao and will also be a guest."

"Buy a ticket and add me xxx..."

"..."

In the midst of the one-sided scolding and spitting, there was a message about selling tickets that was seen by Taylor Swift, who came to Houston to meet with the company's musicians.

Taylor Swift, who is only 14 years old, is already the height of an adult woman in terms of height. After chatting with the temporary assistant arranged by Sony's record company RCA, the white man from Tennessee couldn't help but The amount of help--

"If you want to see Spike at the Rockets' home court, I can help you arrange it."

"?"

Taylor Swift, who has always wanted to make a debut, but has been asked by her company to wait and hone herself, slowly raised a question mark.

"The company just doesn't want you to debut so early. It thinks you should wait another four or three years. It's not good to get involved in the entertainment industry too early. And although you have talent, you are not mature yet and you still need time to grow. It's not that we don't want to support you. Your entertainment.”

"..."

When it comes to this shitty company, Taylor Swift inevitably wants to make her face look down.

Sony is guilty of a heinous crime!

What does it mean to be good for her, but her talent still needs to be exercised? !

Do you know what genius is?

Look at that Spike, he didn’t even study music seriously, and he made his mark from China to the United States as soon as he debuted.

How do you people understand the world of geniuses like us?

She wanted to run away, but with Sony's name here, she still hesitated and hasn't run away this year.

Thinking of this, the angry Taylor stayed in the company honestly and waited for the reserve agent who was temporarily taking care of her to help her find a channel. Out of boredom, she picked up a copy of the most recent one on her desk. The newspaper above——

"New York Daily News": "It is our duty to restore the glory of the North American music scene!" 》

An extremely exciting and provocative headline that left Taylor Swift confused.

What the hell?

Take a closer look——

"In the new Billboard chart released on April 1, all ten songs from your album have entered the top twenty, six of which are in the top ten, which has caused many reporters to start to hype up the North American music scene. ”

Houston, a lounge at an event.

Seeing Zhou Yi looking at the newspaper with strange eyes, Qian Jiang exclaimed: "Your image in the North American music industry is already that of a devil. It would be too embarrassing for them if you really let ten of your songs dominate the top ten.

"Besides, deep down, they still want to push your song out of the top spot."

Social veteran Qian Jiang easily understood the psychology of those European and American scumbags: "In order to avoid an accident like 50 Cent this time, they chose Linkin Park from our same company and promoted him as the leader against you."

Zhou Yi didn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Linkin Park, like Zhouyi, is owned by Warner Bros., and its rock style is just right to compete with Zhouyi.

Officially debuted in 2000, the first album sold more than 20 million worldwide. The second album "Meteora" (Meteor Temple) was officially released on March 25 this year. The response has been excellent so far, and the rankings of several singles are rising rapidly. .

Especially that song "Numb", it sounds absolutely awesome, and it is also the song with the fastest rise in data.

This allowed the media, including the New York Daily News, the Washington Post and other newspapers, to smell business opportunities——

Yes, business opportunity.

As a newspaper, their first priority is to attract attention and sell sales.

Linkin Park sings rock and roll, without any dirty stuff like 50 Cent, and its team members also include Asians, which is enough to show equality and not be labeled as racial discrimination by Zhou Yi;

The songs are interesting enough, the records can be checked, and like Zhou Yi, they are owned by Warner, so maybe they can be provoked into a fight and both sides will lose.

Isn't this the best sword?

In order to fear that Warner would reject it, this group of people even put a high hat on Linkin Park in advance——

"It is our duty to revive the North American music scene!"

However, no one ever asked Linkin Park for his opinion...

"ah?"

Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington looked confused when asked: "Let's go fight Spike?"
