China Entertainment 2000

Using the speech of a minority group or even one person and expanding it to the mainstream public opinion of an entire large group is a necessary means of accusing others.

If you ask, there is evidence. The evidence is here for you to see.

This method is often effective in debates.

Not to mention that this time there are a lot of newspaper reports, which can be said to be ironclad evidence.

Zhou Yi is currently at the peak of news hotspots in China. Once this news came in, it was even more incredible. Many public intellectuals Zhou Yi were about to suffer from PTSD-

No, buddy, what's wrong with you?

How come every album release period can come up with such positive things that can't be more positive?

Foreigners have already started to praise the Son of God, and we are still looking for various angles to secretly blacken him. Doesn't this look bad?

"Is Zhou Yi a foreigner or a Chinese?"

"There is a timeline on the Sohu Zhou Yi special topic, and Warner has also issued a notice confirming that Zhou Yi's English album "Forever Young" has indeed entered the Rolling Stone World's Top 500 Albums, and it is not just a rumor from netizens."

"Fuck, it's awesome, the only Chinese person."

"Not only is he the only Chinese person, he seems to be the only Asian on this list."

"No, you may not understand why he is called the Son of God. Others have a lot of collaboration on an album, but Zhou Yi is the only one on the entire list who is the producer and arranger, and no other people's names appear in the author column. This is The most terrifying."

"You still call him a bastard?"

"I was wrong, Yidi, Yidi. Yidi is awesome!"

"Foreigners still have little knowledge. Aren't all Zhou Yi's Chinese albums like this?"

"No, brothers, this bastard Grammy seems to have set a new record for individual nominations."

"?"

As the highest award in the global music industry, the Grammy, which was moved forward to early February to avoid clashing with the Oscars, also announced the list of nominees for this year--

Zhou Yi was nominated for three annual awards: Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Single of the Year; and five category awards: Best Male Rock Vocalist, Best Hard Rock Performance, Best Rock Instrumental Performance, Best Rock Song, and Best Rock Album.

A total of eight nominations, creating the most of this year, and also breaking his own personal record of six nominations in the previous year.

Below Zhou Yi, popular female singer Beyonce, rapper Jay-Z, American Southern rap duo OutKast, and Pharrell Williams, one of the members of the Neptunes, a gold medal record producer, received six nominations respectively.

"Who is this Jay? Jay Chou? Damn, Jay Chou is also in the Grammys?"

"Where's the brain? He's a black man. Jay Chou's English name is Jay Chou."

"Why are there so many black people in this year's Grammy nomination list? At a glance, more than half of them are black men."

"Zhou Yi's photo looks really handsome, and he is even more handsome when he is set off by a group of black men."

"It's over. I regret not going to "Happy Camp". If I had known, I wouldn't have sold the tickets so early!"

"A local from Changsha? Then why don't you go to Shangrao next door to watch Zhou Yi's concert? There are fewer people there, so the tickets should not be sold out."

"Thank you, it's sold out a long time ago. Zhou Yi's fans will be very fierce."

"..."

Originally, Shangrao Stadium, which was built in 1994, only has a total of 5,000 people. Qian Jiang was afraid that it would not be full. If it was spread out, it might damage Zhou Yi's image--

Now it's good. The deification movement from abroad has given Zhou Yi another halo. Many cities near Shangrao have chosen to come and grab tickets.

"Warner Music, let alone anything else, is a strong marketing channel. But I didn't expect that you are the only one born in the 80s on the list of the Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Albums, right?"

"I don't know, maybe."

Changsha Huanghua International Airport.

Zhou Yi, who was walking and chatting with Qian Jiang, was not sure. After all, he really didn't look at the thing carefully. It was a bunch of ancient artifacts and he had no interest in it.

This thing has the same concept as the album. The biggest function is to allow fans to brag about it when they are quarreling.

After all, it is known as the 500 greatest albums in the history of the global music scene.

Although it will be revised in the future.

Walking out of the airport, although Zhou Yi deliberately concealed his whereabouts, he had no choice but to trace his itinerary. The screams of fans on both sides of the road overwhelmed his eardrums by the security personnel——

"Zhou Yi!"

"Zhou Yi!!"

"Zhou Yi!!!"

"Be safe and go home early~"

After greeting the fans, Zhou Yi did not forget to give a word of advice after the matter was over, showing the style of a warm man.

But before he had taken a few more steps, the reporters in the long queue in the media area swarmed over, cherishing the brief moment of interview——

"Zhou Yi! What do you think of Americans calling you the Son of God?"

"Zhou Yi Zhou Yi, the famous American music critic RC gave you the lowest score of D. The reason given was that you are not humble enough and have no reverence for music. Do you think this is reasonable?"

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

Because the overall praise was mainly for the sky, and Warner spent money to buy the press release, it "reported good news but not bad news" and did not tell Zhou Yi about the RC score. He really didn't know what was going on.

"RC, Robert Christgau, rock music critic. Considered one of the most important mass culture critics in the second half of the 20th century in the United States, he is a special music editor for the American magazine "Village Voice."

"Oh, I haven't heard of it."

When Zhou Yi heard this name, he instantly recalled his glorious achievements and arrogant character, and shook his head decisively.

RC's rating has become a joke among European and American fans in China in later generations. The influence of his subjectivity and personal preferences is too serious.

"Never heard of him?"

The reporter immediately became alert and asked, "Do you mean no one has told you about him?"

"Of course not, no one I talked to knew him."

Zhou Yi sneered, "He's not even a singer, why should I know him?"

"Then he said you're not humble enough, and you don't have the slightest respect for music and rock music--"

"What do you mean by humble?"

Zhou Yi interrupted the man's talk without hesitation, "Do you want to look at the album awards or the album's career sales? English or Chinese?"

Reporter: "..."

Fuck... that's a good question.

He Jiong, who was specially welcoming Zhou Yi, was somewhat dazed when he saw this scene.

He has watched Zhou Yi grow up step by step.

When Zhou Yi was a rookie and first visited the base camp, he had to perform strange talents, such as frying noodles in public. Now, he just sits there and treats the base camp as a chat show, and there are a lot of people willing to watch it, and the program team dare not say anything wrong about him.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi still has a strong sense of professional ethics. He will not be lazy or act like a big shot when he is on the show.

This is a good comment.

Well, except for this kind of interview.

"Eight Grammy nominations, one of the world's 500 greatest albums, and the total sales of "Return to Zang" has exceeded 4.4 million copies worldwide. Your achievements are too scary."

In the evening, in a private room of a restaurant in Changsha.

It has been confirmed that he will officially leave "Happy Camp" next year. Li Xiang toasted with tea instead of wine, and sighed sincerely: "When Teacher He told me that you would come to the camp this year, I couldn't believe it. After all, you are on too few shows now."

"Happy Camp" is still an entertainment variety show after all. Even if it has achieved the first place in ratings, its status is still lower than those traditional interview programs.

At least in this era, this is one of the reasons why Li Xiang wants to leave and seek higher development.

With Zhou Yi's current status, he is still willing to participate in the camp during the album promotion period. It can only be said that he really values ​​their program team.

Zhou Yi will not participate in the China-Korea Concert this year.

Although they all know that Zhou Yi will not participate in the China-Korea Concert because there must be something more important waiting for him, after all, he has become a well-known figure to the outside world, and it is impossible to abandon him directly.

"I would like to appear on more shows to earn more notice fees, but my agent won't let me, there is nothing I can do."

Zhou Yi smiled and took a sip, and threw all the blame to the professional Qian Jiang: "Teacher He, I heard from Mr. Zhou that you have thought about the style of your album?"

"I have thought about it, and Mr. Hui's advice to me is to go for folk songs, which is less risky."

He Jiong is very heartwarming.

Zhou Yi was the first to lend a helping hand to him when he was in a trough period. It can only be said that being friends with Zhou Yi is indeed the most successful decision in his career.

Because of Zhou Yi's words last time, he did talk to Zhou Jianhui later, and the latter also welcomed him.

Next year, the folk singers brought over by Song Ke to Warner have basically entered the countdown of their contracts. Currently, no one has chosen to renew their contracts. Pu Shu, who doesn't want to get involved in these things, even rarely runs promotions-

His new album "Born Like Summer Flowers" has been released for a month, and the sales are still considerable, exceeding 300,000 copies.

At this time, Zhou Jianhui simply let He Jiong, who has signed a record contract with Warner, sing folk songs.

After all, it is a cross-border, and folk songs require the least singing skills and are the least likely to make mistakes.

Of course, there is another reason. The more popular Zhou Yi is, the more he is scolded by the folk music circle.

The rock circle has recognized Zhou Yi, and only the folk music circle has not "reconciled", still holding a mentality of envy, jealousy and hatred to denounce him for "forgetting his roots".

The hatred of literary youths is often the strongest.

Since Zhou Yi himself has no intention of doing folk songs at present, Zhou Jianhui simply took his suggestion and let He Jiong, who really came, be the gun.

The first album released by the reorganized Warner next year will be He Jiong's new album. Since it is the first release of the reorganized new Warner, Zhou Yi will also personally create a title song for He Jiong.

After having enough wine and food, the three of them talked about some points of the base camp, mainly to confirm with Zhou Yi.

There is nothing to say about the game session. Although Zhou Yi thinks these games are actually quite stupid, the audience really likes to watch them, and they can also show their personal image.

He Jiong controls the scene, Li Weijia plays the clown, and Li Xiang is responsible for being the "golden apple" who acts coquettishly to stimulate men's desire to fight and compete.

When it comes to the promotion session, the highlight is that Zhou Yi will show on the spot how to use a spoon to knock on a water cup, pots and pans to improvise the rhythm of a song. It can be regarded as taking advantage of this favorable wind to further deepen his personality and perform in front of the public.
