China Entertainment 2000

"Don't worry, we won't treat you badly."

Seeing that Daolang was still silent, the boss, who thought he was still worried, handed him a cigarette: "The genuine records you should sell there will continue to be sold, and we will not take action. As for other inland cities and coastal cities, we We will also help you open up sales channels, but the prerequisite is that you let us sell first.

"Wait until March 25th. By March 25th, we will put your re-recorded album on the shelves..."

More than two months and nearly three months are enough for them to eat up the most profitable period of piracy.

"You don't need to worry about the record companies. They are just a bunch of paper tigers now. They have to rely on us to sell records in the end, and they don't dare to break up with us.

"Besides, I think you should know the Book of Changes, right?"

Daolang, who had always been silent, raised his head when he heard the name and frowned slightly: "Zhou Yi? What do you want to do?"

He is now a newbie in the mainland music scene, and his relationship with Zhou Yi is completely out of reach.

"Of course I'm helping you build momentum."

The bosses looked at each other and smiled, and said openly: "We can only benefit if you are famous. Zhou Yi is the singer with the best album sales in China. It is impossible for you to catch up with him, but you can do it on radio charts and song charts."

In the domestic charts, those who have breasts are basically the ones who have breasts, and the data can be purchased—oh no, in the terms of record companies, it can be said that it can be promoted.

Don't say that Hong Kong and Taiwan are not authoritative. The trend of buying lists was introduced to the mainland from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"The songs in your album have great stamina. The growth rate is almost the same as that of the Zhouyi in the "Jiangnan" period. There is even hope of surpassing it. It is impossible to catch up with the Zhouyi in the "Fairy Tale" period. In this case, we can Render you as another opponent to challenge Zhou Yi.

"Anyway, Zhou Yi has been used to being challenged over the years. You won't be scolded if you publish this kind of news. On the contrary, you will gain higher attention. Many people will come to see what you are capable of and dare to be this year's Zhou Yi challenge." who.

"At this time, as long as you are strong enough to keep up with the awesomeness we help you brag about, you will be able to gain more recognition..."

Thanks to the booming development of the Chinese music scene in the early 21st century, challenging the big boss Zhou Yi has become a story that audiences like to hear——

After all, this is how Zhou Yi started his career.

He came out in 2000 and became famous by defeating veteran singers such as Ren Xianqi, Liu Ruoyin, Zhou Huajian, and the Four Heavenly Kings. His challenger Wang Lihong and Jay Chou were also killed.

In 2001, his opponent in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau became one of his favorites, Xie Tingfeng; in Asia and Taiwan, his opponent was F4, who was famous for his "Meteor Garden". Jay Chou was the third child on both sides, and was knocked down by the hands of others;

In 2002, Zhou Yi's momentum was established, and the pioneer who challenged him in the music world became Adu, known as the king of civilian singers. The God of War relied on his excellent song quality and popularity to withstand criticism and take over this huge career. Fugui, after crushing the third-ranked third-ranked Jie Lun, had no choice but to stop at the second position of the year.

In the past year of 2003, Jay Chou, who had finally achieved success, came with "Sunny Day" and became a new challenger to Zhouyi. The album "Ye Huimei" was so popular that he was even sent to the Spring Festival Gala, but unfortunately he was still the second child.

One extremely strong challenger changes every year. This is Zhou Yi's terrifying suppressive power that has dominated the music scene in recent years - after all, only strong opponents can make you appear to be powerful.

In the words of an authoritative musician, they were unfortunate enough to be born in the era of the Book of Changes.

If it were not for Zhou Yi, not to mention that all of these people would be number one that year, at least they would not have nothing to gain, and they would not be able to get a single annual crown.

And this year, it's Daolang's turn as the challenger who was "unprepared for the time".

If Zhou Yi is busy with the Spring Festival Gala and has no time to promote the New Year, he will be the most successful challenger. The others were defeated in head-to-head confrontations with Zhou Yi.

hiss……

Don’t dare to think, don’t dare to think, don’t dare to think…

Thinking of this, the boss looked at Daolang with a somewhat fiery gaze.

What if?

…………………………

"No matter what happens, don't be anxious. Just promote it step by step according to the original plan. These two can't turn the world upside down. Daolang has obviously put more marketing efforts into it, and he is a greater threat. "Mouse Loves Rice" can be temporarily ignored. No matter, if you don’t have marketing data, you won’t be able to upload it for now.”

In Alpha Company, Yang Junrong, who feels that he can still sit firmly on Diaoyutai, does not think that "The First Snow in 2002" and "Mouse Loves Rice" can threaten the company's only ace Jay Chou;

Also thinking that these two pose no threat is Chen Jiaying - she was Wang Fei's agent before and is now Chen Yixun's agent.

On the weekly music charts, "Ten Years" still has a conversion figure of around 800,000, while "The First Snow in 2002" after Daolang's marketing efforts only has a conversion figure of around 600,000. , so it just squeezed into the top seven.

Eight hundred thousand versus six hundred thousand, the advantage is mine!

As for Elva Hsiao, because she went to the United States and started working offline, after the focus shifted, her "Compromise" and "Rewind" basically meant she was out.

only……

"What did you say? Did you meet Utada Hikaru?"

On the 18th, after the penultimate rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Yi, who was chatting with Xiao Yaxuan on the phone after returning to the Warner Building, was stunned.

"Yes, it seems that she will also release an English album this year, and my EP seems to be in conflict with hers."

Xiao Yaxuan was extremely excited: "I met her when I ran the first offline show yesterday, and we both ran the same show."

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "Meet? Can EMI make you two conflict?"

"Nonsense, I am the ace of EMI China, and she is the ace of Japan. We are both aces, so who is afraid of whom?"

Xiao Yaxuan, who held her breath, was obviously still angry about the Japanese media calling her "Zhou Yi's substitute for Utada Hikaru's love but not getting it": "Besides, her American distribution company this time is not EMI, but Universal, so there is no need to avoid being in the same company."

Oh, forgot about this.

Zhou Yi slapped his forehead. He was busy rehearsing and communicating with "Today's Statement" about the draft of the show, and he didn't care about anything else at all.

"When are you coming to the US? I'll see if I have time to hang out with you then."

"Forget about waiting for me. I'm going to the US after the Chinese New Year for serious business."

Zhou Yi chuckled: "The Grammys have been moved up to February 8th. Basically, after the Chinese New Year, I'll rest at home for two days, and then I'll fly to the US after recording the "Today's Statement" program."

"Today's Statement? You're also on the legal column? Legal celebrity?"

"Get lost, catch up on your sleep."

Zhou Yi cursed with a smile, and then hung up the phone.

Zhou Yi threw away the paper and pen he had written on, stretched himself and was about to go home from work. He was about to go to Sun Yanzi to ask if he wanted to go home together, but he unexpectedly saw a group of people sitting together in her office, looking extremely solemn.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yi poked his head out, but he didn't see what happened clearly. He thought something had happened to Sun Yanzi. As a result, he walked over quickly and saw Sun Yanzi's new agent sitting in front of the computer with a serious face looking at some data list, and Sun Yanzi next to her had not yet faded from his surprise.

"Zhou Yi, there is a new singer called the King of Western Regions recently. He is very powerful. Come quickly."

Sun Yanzi waved at him immediately when he saw the man coming, pointing to the computer screen and said: "His weekly ranking data has already beaten Jie Lun's "Sunny Day". According to this increase, he may surpass me and Chen Yixun tomorrow."

"What?"

In the hotel suite in the capital.

Jay Chou, who was staying here temporarily because he was participating in the Spring Festival Gala, received a notice from his agent, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes: "I was defeated by the challenger again?"

Huh?

Why did I say again?
