China Entertainment 2000

For Wang Lihong, this day was indeed the darkest day.

But for the vast Zhou Yi fan group, this day was a day of carnival.

As a new song, "Qilixiang" broke the first-day on-demand record of major radio stations in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong on the first day of its release - and this was without playing the MV.

As we all know, Zhou Yi is recognized as the person who respects fans the most in the Chinese music scene, no one else.

All the songs in his albums, even hidden songs, will be accompanied by exquisite MV performances, and the cost is extremely huge. Even if people who don't like a certain song buy the album home, they won't feel that they have lost money, just as if they were watching a short movie.

Last year's "In the Name of the Father" took this to the extreme.

"Although there is no news similar to "In the Name of the Father" this year, it is obvious that this year's Zhou Yi's main song directly abandoned the narrative from the perspective of European gangsters and returned to the Chinese style field that he is best at.

"Even, he has integrated rock and roll again.

"Yes, unlike many people, I think the song "Seven Miles of Fragrance" is another exploration of Zhou Yi's Mandarin album tracks.

"He blended the new Chinese style he pioneered, the love songs he is best at, and the rock and roll he likes most in his bones to create this fresh and comfortable song, which makes people feel like being bathed in spring breeze.

"Few Chinese songs of lyrical rock can achieve the popularity of Zhou Yi, and the lyrics are very cleverly written in the direction of modern poetry writing, which together build the love poem foundation of this song.

"Seven Miles of Fragrance" is not only a love poem written by Zhou Yi for summer and campus, but also a love word he gave to his fans..."

On the 11th, Dong Qing, the editor of "Contemporary Music", who published his impressions on his personal blog, spared no effort to praise the surprise of Zhou Yi's main song returning to the field of Chinese love songs.

Abandoning the most popular love song in his career, "Fairy Tale", the song that the market likes the most and also has the largest share The most bitter tune, some of which make people feel like they are back to their first love at the age of seventeen.

This is undoubtedly a very bold decision.

If the MV had not been released yet, she would have to do some reading comprehension in the MV.

However, just when Warner was about to open the champagne, only one night had passed, and "Qilixiang" surpassed "Rewind", "Compromise", "Meet", "Sunny Day", "He Must Love You", "Dusk" and other songs on Baidu MP3 search rankings, and landed on the top of the list!

"Jianhui was dumbfounded. It was the first time he saw piracy so fast.

"Obviously your song was just released from the radio station, but it has only been one night, and pirated copies of your song have been spread all over the Internet..."

New York.

Qian Jiang, who finally waited for the data report, frowned when he saw it.

This question is a bit beyond the scope.

What about the seven days and a half month genuine sales period after the album was released?

How did it jump from the radio list to the MP3 search list in just one night?

Warner didn't release the MP3 source, and didn't find any insider leaks.

"What's the big deal? Isn't this the case with the wildly growing Internet?" Zhou Yi chuckled as he shook his red wine glass, obviously prepared for this.

He had expected this situation since the last time he knew about the emergence of Baidu MP3.

If physical pirates have already made domestic record companies shaky, then Internet pirates led by Baidu MP3 are the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Making music is a dead end, and it is no longer an empty talk since this period.

The emergence of ringtones only helped a small group of people at the top of the pyramid, and this small group of people extended the life of the Chinese music scene for a few years, creating a false prosperity.

The middle and lower-level musicians are completely unable to make money. Some change their careers, some go home, and the Chinese music scene has completely become a rootless duckweed.

Until the rise of QQ Music, the new generation of musicians, led by the three giants of Q Music, barely managed to pull back a little market, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

Record companies are declining, and the influence of the new generation of singers is no longer as great as before. Actors have become the only choice, and singers have become vassals. There are no more titles like superstars, and the famous brainwashing package statement was born - that is, director \u003e actor \u003e singer.

Why do singers have the lowest status?

Because making albums doesn't make money, you still have to act + perform commercial performances + endorsements. Even a talented person like Jay Chou can't escape the sanctions of this market change.

"But this will have a great impact on your album sales."

Qian Jiang obviously didn't have such an optimistic attitude as Zhou Yi, and his eyebrows were almost tangled together: "This behavior has seriously violated our rights and interests."

"Get ready, old Qian, the worst era in the music industry is almost coming."

Zhou Yi patted his agent on the shoulder and smiled freely.

This torrent of the times cannot be stopped by human power.

Daolang's famous song "The First Snow in 2002" is popular enough, right? It can be said to be a rare phenomenon-level song in the music industry.

However, the official data given by his agent Li Songqiang is that this album only sold 200,000 genuine copies in half a year.

Later generations always say that the Chinese music industry is finished, but in fact, you reap what you sow, and the cultivation of singers is cyclical.

The growth stage of the three giants of Q Music happened to be influenced by the last glory of the music environment at the beginning of the millennium, which planted the seeds of music for them. After that, it was gone.

The deterioration of the music environment made the new generation of musicians not be baptized by good music since childhood. The most direct consequence was that in the era of mobile Internet, those old singers at the beginning of the millennium relied on their old foundation and a little marketing to become popular again.

"Okay, go to bed early, and return to China after participating in the Victoria's Secret Show tomorrow night. My current popularity still has a guaranteed sales volume in China, so don't worry too much."

Seeing that Qian Jiang, who had not yet seen the power of Internet piracy, was still thinking hard about countermeasures, Zhou Yi took the folder in his hand.

At the previous Victoria's Secret Show party, he did meet many models and celebrities who came to watch the show, but after watching the rehearsal before, he really had no interest in this Victoria's Secret Show.

The venue of the 2003 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, known as the "Age of the Gods", was not actually very large. It was much smaller than the "Battle of the Gods" show that was restarted in 2005, not to mention the performances of the guests.

There was only a small space and all kinds of guests had to be arranged. It was pure torture for Zhou Yi to sit in the audience. This damn Jew made so much money that he was reluctant to renovate the stage, relying solely on models to sell their bodies to attract attention.

The only good thing was that the group of models did enrich his number book, and the AA broke up with a "good sister" who said she lied. He was very satisfied with the melon.

At 7pm the next day, Zhou Yi, wearing an Armani suit, walked on the red carpet on time and accepted interviews from major media-

"Spike! Do you have a favorite Victoria's Secret Angel?"

"I am very philanthropic, I like them all."

"I heard that you released a Chinese album but did not return to China. Are you not planning to-"

"Hey, you asked the right person."

On the red carpet, under the confused gaze of the BBC reporter, Zhou Yi grabbed the microphone in his hand, interrupted his speech, and then recited the slogan in front of a group of flash lights: "Dear Victoria's Secret show audience, my latest music album will be officially released at 10:08 am on November 20.

"If you are interested, all audience friends are welcome to purchase it from major channels before 10:08 am on November 20.

"This is why I haven't returned to China yet, because on November 20..."

The BBC reporter was numb.

No, your mother Satan Lucifer, do you promote it like this?

Are you brainwashing me on this red carpet?
