China Entertainment 2000

"Bao Heitan! Stop!"

Gan Province, Raozhou, Zhoujia Village in November.

As the character played by Li Bingbin shouted angrily on the screen, the scene froze. Immediately afterwards, there was the ending song that spread to thousands of households with the popularity of "Young Man Bao Qingtian"——

"Can anyone tell me if there is such a pen?

"Can draw pairs of eyes without tears

"Keep the fleeting time in this world

"It can make all beauty never fade~"

A melodious female voice came from the TV speakers, followed by Zhou Yi's highly recognizable voice——

"If so, I can comfort myself

"In the night without you, I can draw a ray of light

"If I can keep happiness, I will give it all to you

"The bitter taste turned sweet~"

Zhao Ping, who was serving food leisurely while listening to her son's singing, was still humming along with the ending song of the TV series coming from the living room. Zhou Yaoguo, who was sitting in the living room, used the remote control to change the channel to the news channel.

"If you ask me, it's better to sing this kind of song. The songs he sang in that album are not as good as this one. It's so nice."

Zhao Ping, who was bringing the dishes to the table, wiped her hands on her apron and made her own comments.

Although Zhou Yi is her son, to be honest, she still prefers the two songs sung by her son for this "Young Man Bao Qingtian"——

Theme song: "With a clear conscience"

Ending song: "As long as I have you"

"That's a trend among young people, you know what."

When Zhou Yaoguo came to the table, he happily served the rice and praised while eating: "I didn't read the newspaper and said it was selling well. The children of Lao Li's family really like to sing that "Happy Worship"."

"..."

Similar conversations at this moment almost cover most families who watch "Youngster Bao Qingtian" on time.

In 2000, watching TV series on TV was still one of the mainstream forms of entertainment for people after dinner. Once there is a hit drama, the ending song and theme song will undoubtedly reap huge dividends.

"Returning the Princess" and "Journey to the West" are two positive examples.

Under the impact of Yu Quan's group "Cold to the End", Warner had not yet made a formal move. The hot ratings of "Young Man" took the lead in putting the Rolling Stones back from trying to get involved.

The head of the Rolling Stones was helpless.

Why the hell is this kid so evil?

They originally wanted to catch Zhou Yi off guard while he was away from the mainland and unable to promote, but in the end, they were completely killed by "Young Bao Qingtian".

The only parental advantage that the Yuquan group could talk about in front of Zhou Yi was directly eliminated by the opening and ending of this drama.

Although "Cold to the End" is obviously higher in terms of song quality alone, I can't stand the popularity of the drama "Young Man Bao Qingtian".

Warner didn't miss this opportunity and went all out to buy space for Chow.com, which directly suppressed "Cold to the End" and couldn't turn around.

"In the jargon of our industry, you really deserve to be famous."

Before he could take any countermeasures, Qian Jiang was filled with emotion as he watched the popular "Youngster Bao Qingtian" rain down from the sky to solve Yu Quan's trouble.

After twenty years in the industry, he knew of only a handful of stars who could rival Zhou Yi's lucky fortune.

"The Rolling Stones suffered another embarrassing loss this time. They laughed to death because they spent money promoting Yuquan in vain."

In Zhou Yi's "company dormitory" on Treasure Island, Zhou Yi threw the information at hand on the transparent coffee table and laughed.

"Youngster Bao Qingtian" can be described in one sentence as its popularity: it was the national ratings champion in 2000.

Do you understand the gold content represented by the words "viewing champion" in this era?

Originally, this immense wealth belonged to Sun Nan, but obviously, it belongs to him now.

"Those who lose money know how to stop losses in time."

Qian Jiang, who was also proud of being able to secure the resource "Shaobao" for artists, paused and said, "Oh, by the way, are you going to participate in the Chinese Song Chart and the Chinese Chart?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"

"Whether you go to the award-winning party or not, the company has signed up for you."

Qianjiang did not play tricks and went straight to the show: "The China Song Chart, which is the award show for the Chinese Popular Song Chart, currently only mainland singers can participate in the selection, so you have a high probability of winning the award.

"As for being on the global Chinese music charts, basically if you go there you will get a prize. Although it is a party where the pork is divided, its influence seems to be quite strong now.

"My suggestion is to go. Although it is tiring to run around, you can win a few more awards and give your fans some bragging rights."

After all, in addition to singing, a singer's own job, competition for awards is also fans' favorite cricket fight.

Far away there are Tan and Zhang competing for hegemony, while near there are the Four Heavenly Kings.

There are no awards close to me, and the trophies I have received can be worn around my waist several times.

"Oh, by the way, there is another award from Xiangjiang: the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards."

As if he was afraid that Zhou Yi would not understand why the award in Xiangjiang was still about him, Qian Jiang hurriedly explained: "This award is only intended to promote a national concept this year, so mainland singers can also be shortlisted.

"As long as you sing Mandarin songs and your registration passes the review, you can participate in the selection. As for whether you can win the award, it all depends on your ability. This award is more biased towards singers with long experience.

"But I think you should be a sure winner for the Newcomer Award, and I suggest you go for it. This award is as valuable as the Chinese Song Chart and the Chart-in-Chart in Mainland China. It has been the most famous and valuable award in Hong Kong since its inception in 1978.

“The top ten hits that come out later are only limited to Cantonese songs, which is too restrictive.

"Oh, by the way, there is also the Baodao Golden Melody Award, which comes from behind. The company has also registered for you. It just depends on how many nominations we can make in the end."

With that said, Qian Jiang opened his notepad and recounted some other award ceremonies that Zhou Yi had never heard of.

"I won't go to those small ones. Or you can ask the company to send someone to pick them up for me."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but frown as soon as he heard the series of names that sounded like a list of names: "The Mainland's popular songs and Chinese music charts;

“The Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs of Xiangjiang;

"Baodao's Golden Melody Award.

"What else is like-huh? Wait a minute, what the hell is this Singapore Golden Melody Award?"

Zhou Yina paused while flipping through the notepad and said in surprise: "Can I win an award even if I go to Singapore?"

“In a sense, you can win a prize if you go to Vietnam.”

Qian Jiang smiled and patted the child in front of him on the shoulder with sincerity: "The company behind you is Warner, Ayi, Zhou Jianhui is counting on you and Sun Yanzi to help him become the president of Greater China.

"If he could pick the stars and the moon, I'm afraid he would even pick the stars in the sky for you just by opening your mouth."

"..."

6.

"Does the company want to conduct public relations for the awards?" Zhou Yi, who had heard a little bit about this, asked curiously.

"There will be, but visually it won't be very strong. After all, who can beat you this year? Not even Sun Yanzi.

"What's more, Sun Yanzi and you are not of the same gender, so you two can only compete for the Best Newcomer Award. She gets hers for other awards, and you get yours."

Zhou Jianhui, who was distributing awards like leeks in a vegetable field, was still imagining the bright future of his artists, but Zhou Yi, who was smiling and speechless, received a call——

A phone call from Jay Chou.

"Zhouyi, the record that Brother Xian nodded and agreed to record for me will also be released!"

Pressing the answer button, Jay Chou's excited scream suddenly came from the receiver of the mobile phone——

"From today on, I am also a singer!"

On November 7, 2000, the Chinese music scene welcomed a new member named Jay Chou——

He is not handsome and his manners are not very good. He always likes to wear a baseball cap and lower his head to look cool.

And for those who bought his album, the first lyric they heard was a strange cry: "Woo~~"

ps: I worked overtime for half an hour, so I’m half an hour late. Sorry.

ps2: Chapter 2 will be a little later tonight, probably around 10:30.
