China Entertainment 2000

“This is what this circle is like, the total amount of resources is here.

"If you don't fight for it, how will you get a coffee spot? How will you make money? How will you be able to speak up?

"If a star is really as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, he will not enter the entertainment industry.

“Those who like acting can go to the drama circle, and those who like singing can become evening singers who specialize in singing at major parties and celebrations.

“These are all specially trained channels.”

Seeing Zhou Yi being silent, Qian Jiang thought he was afraid of Sun Nan, the most popular brother in the mainland, so he hurriedly gave an example: "Sun Nan himself is an example. He was trained in this channel, so he The singing skills are very good.

"But he wanted to be famous and make a lot of money, so he chose to leave and go to Xiangjiang. Only then did Liu Huan take his place and become the first brother after he gradually retired.

"He can be in the first grade of junior high school, why can't you be in the fifteenth grade? You must have learned the saying that princes, generals, ministers, and ministers should be very kind."

Qianjiang, who played in the heyday of Xiangjiang entertainment industry, was obviously very aggressive.

After coming back to his senses, Zhou Yi couldn't help but grin when he heard his manager's encouragement: "Uncle Qian, you are worrying too much. I am not afraid of him. I just suddenly thought of something.

"I have no objection to singing the theme song and ending song of "Young Man Bao Qingtian". It will be fine if you notify me when the time comes."

In terms of the quality of the theme song and the ending song alone, these two songs are unparalleled and are the masterpieces of the mainland music scene in this era, but I can't help but think that the drama "Shaobao" will be a complete hit.

Huanzhugege's hot ratings directly lifted the motivation train for singing "Dang". There is no reason that Zhou Yi can't take advantage of the future popularity of "Shaobao" to step on Sun Nan's position in the mainland.

After all, the robbery of resources means a signal.

There are so many male singers in the mainland in the future, why can't any of them take away Sun Nan's position as the number one brother? Isn't it because they can't compete for resources?

If we really talk about the popularity during the peak period, Sha Baoliang, who will sing "Secret Fragrance" in the future, will not lose.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing."

Seeing that after the negotiation, Zhou Yi was about to pull Cheng Hao, who was obediently silent and a listener, to get out of the car, Qian Jiang hurriedly spoke.

Zhou Yi just stood up halfway and sat back down, looking at him doubtfully: "What else is there? You won't snatch Liu Huan's resources from me in one breath, right?"

"...I would like to, but it's a pity that Liu Huan's position is not something you can try at the moment, even if he has gradually shown signs of retreating to the second line."

Qian Jiang was speechless and choked out this sentence.

When Liu Huan has started to become an artist, the conventional ordering in the music world is no longer useful to him.

"I just want to discuss with you, should we add a few more days to this autograph session?"

Qian Jiang took out today's signing data from his suit pocket and said excitedly: "Today's signing data shows that your album sold 2,835 copies, setting a single-day sales record for a signing event in the Beijing area.

"If you add a few more days in each city, driven by the publicity effect, I think the mainland sales of your album will eventually exceed the company's estimate, breaking through 850,000 copies in the short term, and it is not impossible to sell 1.2 million copies in its lifetime. of."

"So many?"

Zhou Yi was a little confused when he heard this number. He had been busy with autograph signings these days, and he really didn't have the time to pay attention to the mainland sales data of his album.

This is genuine album sales data, what's wrong?

His album was also released in the Mainland on July 1st. It just started to hit the charts in the first week. The sales volume in the first week reached 110,000 due to the excellent song quality. In the second week, word-of-mouth fermentation began to surge all the way. The weekly sales total went straight to 400,000 copies.

But the good momentum has almost come to an end - because two weeks have passed and rampant piracy has emerged.

Cheng Hao said before that "Happy Worship" and "Have to Love" can be heard in the streets and alleys are the masterpieces of pirates.

As of August 23, the last time he looked at the sales data, in almost two months, due to his achievement of conquering the Baodao music scene and the impact of the marketing war, the total sales volume of the "Book of Changes" album in the mainland has exceeded 720,000 copies were sold, and Xiangjiang sales exceeded 100,000 copies.

Zhou Yi estimated that it was almost the limit.

The impact of piracy is so great that even Warner can't do anything about it. After all, blocking someone's way of making money is tantamount to killing the whole family. Pirates will teach you how to behave.

As a result, Qianjiang suddenly said that the sales volume in the mainland alone might reach 850,000 in a short period of time, which really shocked him.

"You have to thank your fellow countrymen. According to statistics, the province that contributes the largest share of genuine album sales is Gan Province. Especially after you conquered the Baodao music scene and reached the top.

"The imperial capital and Guangdong Province are next."

Qian Jiang spread his hands and motioned Zhou Yi to look at the data on the list: "I have to say that there are indeed many people in Gan Province. Especially during this period, there are many people from Gan Province going to work in big cities such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai City, and a large part of them are It's made money.

"Their movement between cities also drives the spread of word-of-mouth about your album in wealthy provinces."

"..."

Putting aside everything else, Gan Province is indeed a province with a large population. There are many poor people and many rich people.

As a native of Gan Province, Zhou Yi really has to thank the fellow villagers in this era who still have a strong sense of local sentiment.

Looking at the data, Gan Province ranked first with an advantage of only "0.3%", Zhou Yi immediately made a decision——

“Add! You can add anything!

"Give it a try and your motorcycle will turn into a sports car!"

For this album, he took care of the lyrics, composition, singing, and album production, and directly took the maximum share of the share that an artist could get.

This is all free money.

He had to cash in on the last glimmer of the record era.

On August 25th, Zhou Yi, who planned to take a break, started his fan signing tour across the country without stopping.

With the support of Warner's publicity channels, the sales of the "Book of Changes" genuine album, which had been declining due to the impact of piracy, suddenly recovered, selling tens of thousands more copies on the basis of the original expected sales.

Zhou Yi, who is good at singing and dancing, is sunny and handsome, and created a whirlwind of his own during the promotion period in the Mainland——

Li Yuan, the deputy editor-in-chief of the Beijing Youth Daily at the time, even published an article in the newspaper titled "The Hearts of Young People Are Too Soft":

“‘Happy Worship’, which is resounding in the streets and alleys, fully conforms to the concept of music in the minds of young people of the millennium: trendy, fashionable, and good-sounding.

"Zhou Yi, who brought a whirlwind to the Chinese music scene, has done what his predecessor in the music scene, Ren Xianqi, did.

"The status of "Happy Worship" in the hearts of today's young people is probably the same as the status of "Too Soft" in the hearts of our generation.

"Even now, it may not be the time when "Happy Worship" has the greatest influence. In the future, when students and young people who listen to "Happy Worship" gradually enter the society or become the backbone of society, Zhouyi's influence will be It will reach the maximum..."

"Daily News" even directly described Zhouyi's dual popularity in the mainland market and Baodao market as a symbol of music culture——

"This summer, Zhou Yi, a singer from Gansu Province in the Mainland, has made a splash in the entire Chinese music scene with his unique music style.

“He conquered the Baodao music scene, which is known as the holy land of the golden generation of Chinese music;

“In the Mainland, his first album only took two months to sell, and the sales already exceeded the total sales of Pu Shu, another well-known Mainland singer, last year.

"Therefore, the author prefers to call Zhouyi a symbol, a rising musical symbol in the mainland music scene.

"His appearance marks the vigorous development of new forces in our country's music scene..."

Well, the following paragraph is very official.

Zhou Yi, who was dripping with wind oil to refresh himself, finished reading the newspaper pages on hand, threw them aside, and turned his attention to the information placed on the coffee table.

That was the information sent by the agent Qian Jiang.

In September, he, who was already the king of Baodao's major rankings, ushered in the "joint effort" of three people to strangle him——

The little transparent Liang Jingru of Rolling Stone Records released her second album "Courage". The title song of the album "Courage" cooperates with Rolling Stone's promotion. In just one month, it has already jumped to the top five and is heading towards Zhou Yi's No. 1 throne;

Andy Lau, the king of Boardman, released the album "Man's Love". The album's title song "It's not a sin for a man to cry" also made it to the top ten, with word-of-mouth sales booming.

Queen Li Wen even led her multinational production team to release a new album "True Lover YOU\u0026ME", featuring the hot and unrestrained Latin style song "True Lover", which is equally aggressive and aims to be number one!
