China Entertainment 2000

Based on this sentence alone, David Letterman can fully imagine how much hatred this program will arouse after it is broadcast on the 25th.

As we all know, in terms of sales, Zhou Yi's Asian ticket sales have been criticized by other fans after the Grammys ended.

There's no other reason, it's simply that he's too shameless.

This is not a small country like Singapore or Malaysia that cannot support much, but it can be said that Zhou Yi can influence almost the entire East Asian music market, including even Japan, the world's second largest music market.

Michael Jackson doesn't have the same appeal in Asia as Zhou Yi, a local Asian.

This is something that many opponents, and even Zhou Yi's own American fans, don't quite understand. After all, Zhou Yi is a Chinese, so it is enough for local Chinese to support him. Why are Japan and South Korea joining in the fun?

Especially Japan.

"You can't say that Spike, you know, they're not from Asia."

David Letterman adjusted his sitting position, wiped his mouth, and calmly defended himself simply: "And if I remember correctly, Eminem's album sales last year were only worse than yours in Asia, so He just ranked second in global sales.”

"So? who cares?"

Zhou Yi smiled and shrugged: "Being able to get second place in the year with that album is already the greatest achievement in his life."

"...ok, ok Spike, let's change the topic."

David, who accepted the offer, pretended to be nervous and wiped his sweat: "You can go back to China later, but I still have to stay in the United States."

The audience in the audience burst into laughter.

“Let’s talk about PPT.

"God, your PPT is so beautiful. It is said that Microsoft is in contact with you privately and wants to use your PPT as a template to be included in the brochure as a case?"

David Letterman, who was born in 1947 and is now 56 years old, can be said to have witnessed the strong rise of Microsoft. It is precisely because of this that when the news of the negotiation between Microsoft and Zhou Yi's team spread, he was really curious from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Yi, who was stroking his chin with one hand, smiled with an unusually mysterious smile: "I have indeed been in contact."

Um?

David Letterman, who was waiting for the next sentence, didn't wait for the next sentence. His eyes widened and he exaggerated: "No more? Where's the next one?"

"Don't expect anything unnecessarily David, you don't want your show to be sued by Microsoft, right?"

The appetizing Zhou Yi laughed louder than anyone present: "And even if I say it, your program team will definitely cut it out and not let it be broadcast."

We have already said this, so it would be rude to ask again.

But Zhou Yi's performance made at least three-fifths of the audience feel as if there were ants crawling in their hearts.

How can anyone like to talk so much? !

What about fishing?

In the following discussion on the album’s promotion topic, Zhou Yi once again started to burst into flames——

David Letterman: "We all know that your new album is doing very well in the United States. Some people even claim that you have changed the course of the American music scene. Do you agree?"

Since "Forever Young" has been released for nearly two months, the various new arrangement techniques, methods and ideas used in this album have been thoroughly explored by the industry, and the dismantling has also been completed. Eighty-eight.

The arrangement and composition ideas are even better than the previous album and have clearer ideas, almost making Zhouyi's album a must-have research project for many record companies in the industry.

"Of course, I fully agree with this statement."

Zhou Yi, who was not modest at all, nodded and claimed the credit at this question: "Of course I changed this.

"Actually, they were lucky that I didn't come here 10 years ago - if I had come here 10 years ago, I think my fans would have made me the director of the American music scene."

Zhou Yi grinned while facing the camera. His exaggerated remarks undoubtedly caused huge waves after the program was broadcast on the evening of the 25th!

"It's obvious that Spike is floating here."

On the morning of April 26th, US time, a certain brand event was held.

The veteran figure in the American rap industry, the king of gangsta rap, the creator of gangster rap, the representative and leader of West Coast rap, the historical hip-hop music producer, Eminem and the owner of 50 Cent, Andre Romelle. When Yang was asked about Zhouyi in an interview with reporters, he smiled and pointed at his head.

Compared to several other East and West Coast bosses who have gone to meet God or Satan, Dr. Dre, whose stage name is now booming in the music business, can be said to be the real God of the West Coast.

Although there are many problems in him, in the face of his rising status, he has suppressed those so-called problems, such as Dian Zhongdian's domestically violent girlfriend, and even his girlfriend's best friend who got into a fight in a nightclub. Physically hitting the wall and so on.

"The reason why Eminem and 50 Cent lost to him is actually my problem, because the company's marketing capabilities are really limited. In my heart, they deserve the number one spot."

Dr. Dre very eloquently pointed out Warner's strong marketing efforts for Zhou Yi, although he did not deny the musicality of Zhou Yi's album and its promotion of the American music industry: "As for Spike...

"Compared to the so-called music director, I think he is more like an electric eel that can only go crazy, an electric eel from China."

As soon as this statement came out, the American music scene, which was shrouded in the shadow of Zhou Yi's marketing, was suddenly shocked.

As one of the historic music producers, Dr. Dre is probably the only man so far who can compete with Zhou Yi in terms of album production after facing him.

When Eminem and 50 Cent were beaten up one after another before, many people were already looking forward to when the West Coast OG would end, and now they finally got their wish——

Zhou Yi claimed that he would have become the music director of the entire American music scene 10 years ago, but the 1990s was when Dr. Dre, a singer and producer, rapidly rose to become the godfather of the West Coast.

Other world-class divas such as Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston also reached the top in that era.

It was the age of the gods that everyone in the European and American music circles remembers, and the PK battles every year were simply dizzying.

"Arrogant!"

"Shameless!"

"How dare he?! How dare he brazenly say that he could have been the music director of the American music scene ten years earlier?!"

Zhou Yi's anti-fans were all filled with indignation. With the support of Dr. Dre, the legendary music producer, they could extract the key words directly from his words, and Zhou Yi was able to officially have a short-term success in the United States. A nickname that was quickly recognized in China - electric eel.

"Rock, I don't even want to say whether it is considered rock or not, it may just have something to do with the spirit of equality created by the hype.

"But what is clear is that he really likes electronic music. Even "Something Just Like This" in the album had to incorporate electronic music elements."

"The last album used electronic music to test the waters, and this one still uses it. Doesn't he know that electronic music has long been outdated in the American music scene?!"

"Director, Electric Eel should first go to Mariah Carey to improve her singing skills. She is far behind those great singers of the last century..."

Dr. Dre's fate attracted many people to express their disgust or displeasure with Zhou Yi.

Some of them are not even hip-hop fans at all. The reason why they came to Bang Bang is simply because they felt offended in the latest episode of "The David Talk Show" - or in other words, they felt that Zhou Yi was offended by their idol.

Stimulated by this, on the radio data charts in big cities such as New York and Washington that day, in addition to Madonna's new song, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion who just returned to the music scene at the end of March this year to release an album and hold a concert, and even Whitney Houston, who announced her temporary retirement from music this year——

Their new songs, old songs and even classic old songs have all topped the charts by fans who are clamoring for them.

Although the idols haven't spoken out yet, they can't let an outsider ride on their head and dominate!

This is a matter of dignity!

In response, Zhouyi's supporters naturally began a large-scale charge——

"Fart! Is what Spike said wrong?!"

"On the contrary, I think Zhou Yi has a great idea!"

"With Spike's talent, if he had come 10 years earlier, he would still be the pedophile scumbag Michael Jackson?"

"What is your name Spike? Please call him Director Spike, or Director Zhou! He is the music director in my mind who can correct the atmosphere of the American music scene!"

"What is dimension reduction attack? Spike is it. Whether you admit it or not, Spike's music albums are indeed ten years ahead of the American music scene in terms of production. When we were still driving Cadillacs, he was already flying "

"That's right, if nothing else, Spike can almost be said to have single-handedly repackaged electronic music that was almost dead and pushed it into the market, and achieved great success. This is undoubtedly a pioneering work. With a sexual move, he recreated a new music track!”

"Rap can be divided into slanderous rap, gangster rap and other confusing categories. How can Dr. Dre claim to be the godfather of gangster rap? Why can't Spike be called the godfather of electronic music? He even integrated electronic music into rock songs. inside!"

"That's right, Spike obviously used the completely different electronic music fusion in the two albums to tell us that music can still be played like this!"

Because of Zhou Yi's self-identification on the show, Zhou Yi, who was scolding the anti-fans, also mentioned a nickname that American fans gave him - Director.

Some call him Director directly, and some call him Director Zhou.

Anyway, it just recognized Zhou Yi's "self-judgment" on the show.

Don't ask, just ask because my brother's talent is unparalleled in the world!

On the evening of the 26th, Janet Jackson's songs also joined the battlefield, forming groups on radio stations on all continents, joining forces with old rivals in the past to launch a charge against Zhou Yi's complete album songs, which were at the top of the charts.

The other singers I met along the way basically failed to resist a few back and forth and were immediately defeated.

Except for MJ fans who were still feeling sorry for Michael Jackson, everyone else stared at this rare scene in the world of music with their eyes wide open. Even the storm of Michael Jackson's child molestation case was temporarily overshadowed——

Old men from the last century VS young students...?

At 10:07 a.m. on the 27th, Madonna's new song "American Life" reversed its downward trend for the first time on the New York City Radio Chart in real time. Not only that, the ranking is still rising;

At 11:01, Mariah Carey, who is currently in a state of confusion and controversy with her ex-husband, released two more songs on the radio chart from the album "Charmbracelet" released at the end of 2002.

At 13:45 on the 27th, everyone in Whitney Houston, who never expected that she would encounter such a thing before leaving the entertainment industry, was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

There are also old songs from her album "Just Whitney" released in December last year that are being featured today?

On the other hand, Celine Dion, who has just come back and is still very popular, because she is already in the stage of charting and touring, any means that can increase sales and fame are open to her.

It is precisely because of this that at around four o'clock in the afternoon, when Celine Dion was still feeling sad that her new album might indeed have no hope of reaching the top, several songs from her album "One Heart" also entered the radio station. Real-time chart, and one song even entered the top ten.

Not to mention Janet Jackson. Some of the songs from her album "All for You" released in 2001 can actually hit the radio charts this time. It is really a new version of old songs in another sense.

As the initiator, Dr. Dre entered the radio charts with songs by Eminem and 50 Cent, and his old hits from the last century also became popular again.

On April 26-27, 2003, in just two days, names that had already withdrawn from the mainstream view of the American music scene appeared one after another on the real-time radio rankings under the influence of the deeds of Madonna and Dr. Dre. —

On the 28th, Madonna took the lead, relying on the controversy of her "bad song" to overtake Zhou Yi's "Payphone" on radio stations in New York and Washington, ranking sixth;

Celine Dion overtook Zhou Yi's "Something Just Like This" in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other places, ranking eighth.

Janet Jackson swept Chicago's ninth and tenth;

Mariah Carey is still working as a comedian in New York, and gradually begins to perform sketches...

Dr. Dre's hard-core gangsta rap has returned to the radio field after 8 years. It is picking up rapidly in cities such as Detroit. At first glance, it seems to be a retro wave.

On April 28, 2003, a new round of Billboard rankings was released. Although Madonna's progress was still disappointing, her ranking had jumped to 32nd.

The Book of Changes still ranks first.

Five world-class queens from Europe and the United States gathered together, Dr. Dre was eyeing him, and there was a frustrated Michael Jackson lingering on the edge;

Zhou Yi, who topped the list, appeared in the top 13 of the radio station with seven songs, welcoming this arrow of afterglow from the golden age!

1VS7!
