China Entertainment 2000

As the most talked-about heavyweight guest in the Spring Festival Gala’s popular song category, Zhou Yirang’s four programs after him all lost their due luster——

Tian Zhen and a group of sports stars sang "Seize Every Moment", cross talk segment "Instruction Like This", dance "Qiao Hua Dan" and Huang Hong's sketch "Brothers", they were forced to be the "victims" of Zhou Yi Shining.

When Huang Hong's skit ended, apart from the usual applause, there were not many real laughs. Many people were still humming the tune of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to themselves in private.

Of course, they know it themselves.

When he was leaving the stage after the performance, Huang Hong, who was passing by Zhou Yi's seat, reached out to him and said hello with a friendly smile.

Whether a work is good or not, Huang Hong, as a sketch artist who briefly climbed to the top of Mount Everest with "Playing Poker", knows better than anyone else and cannot be confused.

The reason why he, who has passed his peak, can still appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage, apart from the fact that he can't find a replacement for the time being, is that the director team wants stability - the newcomer is not as good as Huang Hong, so it is better to continue to use Huang Hong .

After all, the Spring Festival Gala is not a place for newcomers like you to practice. This is a stage for you to go out and show yourself after you have become famous.

Zhou Yi, who changed into a burgundy windbreaker after stepping off the stage, did not leave, but returned to his seat and continued to be a guest on the scene.

According to convention, guests after the performance can directly leave the CCTV building and go home to celebrate the New Year with their families. However, Zhou Yi's parents did not come to the Imperial Capital at all this year, and Cheng Hao also went home to celebrate the New Year. In this case, it would be fine for him to go home. Qian also wanted to watch the Spring Festival Gala, that’s fine, he might as well stay and watch the scene.

"When will you go up and sing?"

Zhou Yi, who had completed tonight's task, chewed a grapefruit in his mouth and turned to look at Sun Yanzi and Zhou Jielun, who were getting a little nervous as time passed.

"It's pretty late, probably around 11 o'clock."

Sun Yanzi estimated the time with his fingers and calmed down: "If I remember correctly, it will be after Mr. Zhao and the others."

"That's okay."

Zhao Benshan, as the king of Spring Festival Gala sketches after the duo of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, has attracted much attention this year. He teamed up with Fan Wei and Gao Minxia to present the sketch "Water Delivery Man".

It tells the story of a mother who works as a seamstress and saves money to earn money for her son to study abroad. In order to let her son study with peace of mind, she lied to her son that she had found a rich wife again, but her son suddenly returned to China and wanted to see her new wife. The father and mother were dumbfounded, so they rented a waterman to provide emergency services.

To be honest, the background of this sketch is average among Zhao Benshan's works, especially since it is also mixed with family affection and sensational elements. The laughter is really only due to the three veteran artists on the stage. performance.

But even so, Zhao Benshan still contributed two popular sayings——

Understand "studying mummies" as "studying my aunt" and the jingle "the moonlight is bright in front of the window, and the glass is well frosted".

Zhou Yi originally thought that he would not laugh, but when Zhao Benshan actually said it in his amusing tone, he still couldn't help laughing.

After that, ten more programs passed before it was Jay Chou's turn to sing "Dragon Fist" and Sun Yanzi's turn to sing "Meet".

What is embarrassing is that, as a popular love song, "Meet" can still be heard by some people at the scene with its lyrics and Sun Yanzi's unique singing style;

Jay Chou's "Dragon Fist" was humming and haha ​​while he was boxing for a long time on the stage. It was almost dead silence in the audience...

Even though Jay Chou had sung the lyrics as clearly as possible, he still played the backup tape and lip-synched to ensure the effect.

For the Spring Festival Gala audience, his hip-hop music was still a bit too advanced.

Don’t understand, but respect.

That's pretty much what it means.

Considering the reputation of the little music king, he is still a Taiwanese singer, and the audience still applauded him as usual after the performance.

Later, Adu and Xiaoyanzi's duet song "Warmth" also failed to make much waves, or it was not very memorable.

All the young viewers who have watched the entire show in front of the TV seem to be Zhou Yi who dominates the Spring Festival Gala pop category again this year...?

"Oh no, this guy Zhou Yi is going to be far ahead again in this year's Spring Festival Gala poll for the most popular pop song."

"It's not that I want to shoot, it's just that my opponent is too slow."

"Can you vote for "Good Luck"? I really don't want to see that Zhou Yi guy start pretending again."

""Good Luck" doesn't belong to the pop song category."

"Then Zhou Yi's "Gong Xi Fa Cai" can be counted?"

"Well, why doesn't it count?"

"Grass!"

In this situation where everyone with a discerning eye can see how effective Zhou Yi's Spring Festival Gala program this year is, many young people can only find another way to play Jay Chou, even if it is to play Sun Yanzi and Adu. Any Singaporean friend will do.

After all, Sun Yanzi this year - oh no, last year's hit song "Meet" was not written by Zhou Yi!

You can blow!

win!

"Fans of Sun Yanzi, you have to stand up. Do you want your idol to live in the shadow of Zhou Yi for the rest of his life? To be attached to Zhou Yi for the rest of his life?"

"Get the fuck out of here!"

"It seems to make sense. Yanzi didn't leave Zhou Yi without Huo Ge."

"A fan of Elva Hsiao, right? Get out of here too!"

"I'm not!"

"roll!"

Fans who have stood firm on the Gemini banner for a hundred years immediately began to counterattack when they sensed something was wrong, and even uncovered some "inside ghosts" - beating up those who tried to incite the emotions of Sun Yanzi fans. For Elva Hsiao fans!

Don't ask, just ask that Elva Hsiao is Sun Yanzi's direct competitor.

On New Year's Eve, they still persist in the frontline position of anti-gang (cross-crossing) in the fan circle. Their love (hate) for their idols (enemies) is heartwarming, but they don't know that the star they are arguing for and devoting all their time and energy to is currently in the spotlight. Gathering together to drink and have skewers to celebrate the arrival of 2004——

"Happy New Year! Cheers!"

Holding a glass of beer, Sun Yanzi ate the meat with great excitement. There were still traces of scratches from the hot iron pick on the corner of his mouth.

The Spring Festival Gala was over, and she could finally eat after being hungry all night.

Jay Chou, who was in charge of fanning the barbecue just like before he debuted, flicked his bangs and showed a real smile on his face: "Happy New Year, we haven't been together like this for a long time. It's a pity that Shaohan is not here, otherwise people would All ready.”

I recall that barbecue party before debuting, it was just the four of them - oh no, there was also a special guest who came to see Elva Hsiao from Zhouyi the next day.

He was still smart at the time and pretended to have gastroenteritis after eating too much barbecue to cover up Zhou Yi.

"Shaohan is still filming. When I talked to her last time, she said that Fu Mao has been arranging idol dramas for her." Sun Yanzi, who has experienced the hardships of filming, expressed deep regret for this.

"No, she will record two idol dramas starting this year."

Zhou Yi opened a bottle of beer and filled it: "More busy."

Needless to say, the power of idol dramas. Zhang Shaohan, who has finally gained a firm foothold and earned the nickname "The Master of Electric Eyes", has finally come to the end of his hardships this year and received the treatment of idol dramas and records.

There is no way, after all, she is not her biological daughter.

The latest album released is not a studio album, but a collection - which contains all the songs Zhang Shaohan has sung since his debut and all the episodes in idol dramas he has acted in.

Starting with "Fables" written by Zhou Yi, due to its popularity, sales in Taiwan are pretty good and are expected to exceed 180,000 copies.

"Ayi, are you sure you want to come to my unparalleled concert this year in the Imperial City?"

After blowing a few bottles, Jay Chou also became tongue-tied, but still confirmed to Zhou Yi: "Don't force yourself if you don't have time."

To be fair, he is a loyal person.

Although he has not been invited to Zhou Yi's concert, he does not think that Zhou Yi looks down on him - all the guests who have attended Zhou Yi's concert so far are there for a reason, and he cannot replace any of them.

The only thing to blame is the approval process on his side, which was not allowed to pass by Zhou Yi.

Otherwise, whenever Zhou Yi holds a concert in Taiwan, wouldn't he be a sure guest?

Unfortunately, the visible future is that as soon as Zhou Yi's fourth album "Return to Tibet" is released, it will be impossible for him to hold a concert in Taiwan.

If Zhou Yi had not become famous in Europe and the United States, he would have been able to directly ban Zhou Yi and remove his album from the shelves.

There was no way, the man whom the Fourth Specialist remembered was someone who could completely break their defenses.

"You've driven all the way to the Imperial Capital, why don't I come? I'll definitely come to help by then."

Zhou Yi put down his wine glass and replied to New Year text messages one after another amidst the faint sound of fireworks outside: "The premise is that in the second half of the year, in a few weeks, I will almost have to leave for the United States."

…………………………

"real?"

"Can I still lie to you? Zhou Yiwen went there. There is a Grammy in the United States, and he has to go to Japan to participate in the Sino-Japanese Song Contest. I just don't know if he can be nominated for an Oscar. If so, he will have to fly by then. Back to the United States for the Oscars.”

On New Year's Eve, as an agent, Li Songqiang, who was having New Year's Eve dinner, gave Daolang a clear and promising answer -

"This also means that Zhou Yi will not appear in China for at least one month or even two months in the future, and this is your opportunity. As long as you overtake him in even one ranking this month, that is 0 breakthrough in the Chinese music scene.”

Since Zhou Yi ascended to the top of the Chinese music scene, no one has successfully challenged him. Although it has already reached the end of Zhouyi's album sales period, considering the special nature of this man...if he can win, he can write a big book about it!

Moreover, Dao Lang not only has a chance, but also a great possibility.

"The First Snow in 2002" is too destructive.

No matter how powerful "Blue and White Porcelain" is, it is still an old song that has been released for more than two months. It is time to describe it as "lack of stamina", while Daolang's song has just been released.

If Warner has the ability, it can save Zhou Yi's new single and sell it, right?

"But, this "Gong Xi Fa Cai"..." Dao Lang frowned.

"Don't worry, it's impossible for Warner to make "Gong Xi Fa Cai" into a single. Look at Zhou Yi's previous Spring Festival Gala songs. Which one has been released as a single?" Li Songqiang held a cigarette in his mouth, and his smile revealed seven points of joy. Determined and three-pointed elegance.

What does it mean to be in the middle of strategizing? Do you understand the value of making every decision?

January 22, 2004, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

On this extraordinarily festive day, Dao Lang, who had left home to come to the imperial capital, took a deep breath of the morning air. Before he could go out, he heard a song that he was very familiar with coming from the window——

"I congratulate you on getting rich, I congratulate you on being wonderful~

"The best please come, the bad please go away"

“The more gifts you give, the less blame you will get~~~”

He is familiar with this song, Zhou Yi just sang it in the Spring Festival Gala last night——

Huh?

No, what happened?

“Fuck! Warner is not fair! “Gong Xi Fa Cai” was recorded as a single???”

Due to the lack of connections in a regular major record company, Li Songqiang, who did not know that Zhou Yi had completed the recording at Warner before the New Year, was anxious.

In order to promote Daolang, they invested a lot of money, just to take advantage of Zhou Yi’s window period to steal the wave of home, why did you break the rules and release a single?

Zhou Yi even recorded a simple and festive MV.

Zhou Yi, where is your pride? Where is your persistence?

Is it bullshit?

“Gong Xi Fa Cai” was officially sent to major radio stations, audio and video channels and even uploaded to Warner’s official website as a single on the 22nd, and it blossomed in various forms——

Four days later, on the 26th, the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Monday

"Gong Xi Fa Cai" destroyed all obstacles with an unrivaled momentum, even including Zhou Yi's own "Blue and White Porcelain", and topped the weekly charts of the new week.

Dao Lang, who made a great progress and topped the charts last week, fell back this week and was stuck at 3...

What's more terrible is that in terms of the media, "Gong Xi Fa Cai" can basically be called a viral spread...

On the streets, in supermarkets, and in any place where the New Year is celebrated, without exception, there is the presence of "Gong Xi Fa Cai"...

"I give up! I went to the supermarket to buy some gold coin chocolates today, and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" almost brainwashed me!"

On Tianya, user "Free Beaver 14" published the first post since the New Year, angrily denouncing Zhou Yi for being an unhuman person -

"On Zhou Yi's Degeneration: Starting from Writing Brainwashing Divine Songs"

"This time I support Beaver, he didn't say anything nonsense. I was playing rice in the supermarket yesterday, and the radio was playing Zhou Yi's "Gong Xi Fa Cai" on repeat, and "Good Luck Comes" was also played on repeat. Not much. "

"My home is right next to the supermarket! Right next to it! Who knows how painful it is for me to listen to the fucking "Gong Xi Fa Cai" for 18 hours out of 24 hours a day! Zhou Yi, please stop using your magic power. No matter how good a song is, it can't stand the single loop!"

"To be honest, this song is too outrageous. My parents were humming it today..."

"The main reason is that this song is free, so everyone likes it."

"I'm from Shanxi. A boss here wants to ask Zhou Yi to come and sing "Gong Xi Fa Cai" for 3 million yuan. You can imagine how widely this song is spread..."

"I was wrong. Zhou Yi is really better than Dao Lang in writing such vulgar songs..."

Dao Lang, who was paying attention to the direction of online public opinion under the arrangement of his agent, slowly typed a question mark: "?"
