China Entertainment 2000

"Lately I've been I've been losing sleep (Lately I've been I've been losing sleep)

“Dreaming about the things that we could be (Dreaming about our possibilities)

"But baby I've been I've been praying hard

"Said no more counting dollars, We'll be counting stars (Pray not to be fooled by money anymore, let us count the stars in the sky together)..."

Zhou Yi, who was holding a guitar in his hand, played and sang the prelude with the band. After the show, he picked up the sand bell that had been prepared by hanging on his shoulder after the show, and gently played it in the venue that suddenly became quiet. Shake.

The venue, which had been quiet for a few seconds, became hot again with the sound of sand bells swinging——

Guitars, drums, bass and other instruments come in front and back, and the almost acapella effect at the beginning instantly brings people into the rock scene!

"come on!"

Zhou Yi waved his hand.

On the top stage of Western pop music, for the first time a popular singer from China sang loudly——

The sparks of rock music instantly ignited the scene!

Taiwan, Taipei.

Xu Junde, who stayed up late to watch the Grammy broadcast with his friends, couldn't help but yelled after seeing this fiery scene: "Babei! When will we be able to see Zhou Yi live!"

As one of Zhou Yi's crystal fans on the island, he has gone through many wars over the years from a high school student back then to a college student who is about to graduate from college now. However, the resentment he felt watching Zhou Yi live continued to accompany him, like a gangrene attached to his bones. Like a shadow that follows you wherever you go——

There was no way, he was one of Zhou Yi's first fans, but when Zhou Yi was still able to roam freely on the island in 2000, he was still in the second year of high school and was under supervision, so he couldn't go to the fan club or the autograph session.

I thought it was no big deal, but who would have thought that this would actually be a "farewell"...

"Old, but I'm not that old (older, but I'm not pedantic)

"Young, but I'm not that bold (young, but I'm not reckless)

"And I don't think the world is sold (I don't believe the world is hopeless)

"I'm just doing what we're told (I'm just doing things step by step)"

The song nicknamed "Counting Stars" by countless fans came out from the speakers. The way Zhou Yina jumped and danced on the Grammy stage was not only heart-warming for fans - even the singers were envious of it. .

Tao Zhe, Wang Lihong and even Lin Junjie are all paying attention to this Grammy event in their own way.

Jay Chou, who purposely turned down work tomorrow and planned to see if he could kill at the Grammys tonight, participated in a round after recording tonight's show, including Luo Zhixiang, Cai Yilin, Pan Weibo, Big and Little S, etc. People were having a party and watching the broadcast.

"Zhouyi is really beautiful."

"Jie Lun, how is your English learning going?"

"Don't rush me, I'm still learning..."

As a young Taiwanese student, Jay Chou's English proficiency has always been the biggest obstacle that restricted him from attending an English college. Even if he hired a teacher, the teaching effect was obviously not ideal.

Imperial capital.

Cheng Hao, who had just finished communicating with his parents about his condition and recovery, returned to the living room with a coat on his back. When he saw the man in the CCTV broadcast, he couldn't help but smile.

South Korea, Seoul.

The little Samsung princess, who chose to start her own business after running away from home, was studying the company's future budget while subconsciously humming to the tunes playing on the TV——

“Take that money and watch it burn

"Sink in the river the lessons I learned (Sink in the river has been taught)..."

At the end of the song, almost everyone stood up for the chorus——

The excited stars and the audience who entered the venue with tickets fell into a carnival. With Zhou Yi's singers venting their dissatisfaction and pressure with roaring songs, the Grammy instantly transformed into a music festival.

Needless to say, "Counting stars" is popular around the world. With the promotion of Apple Store, its influence has reached a higher level.

What's even more shocking is that as popular as this song is, there are at least five or six more songs in Zhou Yi's album...

When the concert came to an end and a new round of hosts came on stage to prepare the awards, the fiery atmosphere clearly had not calmed down yet - "Wow, what a crazy performance. Spike, you just turned this place into your own concert."

"But I haven't seen enough. When will you come to the United States to hold a concert? I believe your fans are just like me and can't wait."

In the audience, Zhou Yi fans who were cueed burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

This issue was not part of the rehearsal beforehand. It was obviously caused by the host being affected by the atmosphere.

"You shouldn't ask me this, you have to ask him."

After stepping down, Zhou Yi decisively passed the blame to little Edgar who had just finished having fun. The smile on the latter's face had not yet faded. Hearing this, he said directly: "Obviously, I will supervise Spike's work. After all, A world tour requires a lot of planning..."

Although it doesn’t matter when to start, but... draw a pie first.

This was not difficult for little Edgar, it was just a matter of opening his mouth.

With such an interruption, the fiery atmosphere at the scene also weakened, and the subsequent album awards in other categories had nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

Sometimes he really feels that this kind of award ceremony is quite boring-leaving aside the part about winning awards, the rest of the time is just sitting there watching other people receive awards and perform; receive awards, perform, and so on. Back and forth.

As the four most important Grammy awards, the Four Chase Awards are placed at the end of the entire party.

Not surprisingly, this year's Best New Artist is the super dark horse band Disillusionment. The award presenter Norah Jones even complained on stage that she did not win this award last year, but instead came to be the award presenter: "I won the Best New Artist last year. It's Spike, he's still sitting down there."

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Many of the singers who were shortlisted for this year's other three general categories were in a relaxed mood.

Zhou Yi has won almost a rock category award, so according to Grammy's long-standing practice, the final general category award will definitely be out of the question.

The advantage is mine!

Especially Coldplay.

As the most promising people to win the annual Grammy Record Production Award this year, their single "Clocks" can be said to have the highest call for the award under Zhou Yixia.

If the prizes are divided and balanced, then the possibility of them benefiting is not small.

Zhou Yi himself didn’t take the record production of the year seriously. What he wanted to win now was the album of the year.

"Do you have any news?"

"No, the organizing committees of the four major general categories are very well hidden."

Faced with Zhou Yi's inquiry, Edgar Jr. was also a little confused about the context of this year's Grammy Awards: "I originally thought they would give you two to three category awards and then give you a general category award, but it's hard to say now. You Maybe follow in Beyoncé’s footsteps.”

Beyoncé, the biggest winner of this Grammy so far, won five golden gramophones, one more than Zhou Yi.

But correspondingly, there is definitely no drama for her in the Big Four category awards. If I didn’t watch her, I would just watch the drama now.

The two were still whispering underneath. On the stage, the host opened the envelope after announcing the nomination list, and his voice suddenly rose: "The winner of the 46th Grammy Annual Record Production Award is... Spike "Viva La Vida" Congratulations!

?

?

?

Beyoncé, who was originally the biggest winner this year, slightly softened her smile, and a question mark slowly formed in her heart;

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows subtly, and the faces of all members of Coldplay could not hide the look of disappointment——

Sure enough, Spike's "Viva La Vida" is too strong.

"Congratulations."

It's not that he can't afford it. Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, reached out to congratulate Zhou Yi in a friendly way: ""Viva La Vida" is great. I can't believe you completed the production of all songs including this song by yourself. ”

"Thanks."

Zhou Yi, who felt something was wrong with the Grammys, took the stage to accept the award.

"There are five awards, are there any more? There should be none, right?"

"The Book of Changes has a total of eight nominations. Five of them are already an outrageous figure, right?"

“I don’t know the history of the Grammys, can anyone tell me how many have the most in one category?”

"It doesn't matter how many awards a year has. The main thing is that what Zhou Yi won is the general category award. Awards that are truly open to competition. The entire Grammy only has four categories: Best New Artist, Best Recording Production, Best Single, and Best Album. "It's full of gold content."

People who don’t understand it in China are still discussing it in full swing.

When the next best single was not given to Zhou Yi, but to a singer who was not present due to illness and may not have a few years to live, all the singers competing for the last best album mentioned their hearts. Throat——

The ultimate Grammy award at every Grammy: Best Album.

"The 46th Grammy Award for Best Album - Spike! "Forever Young"! Congratulations!!!"

? ? ? ?

! ! ! !

Fuck!

Damn it!

Not to mention the singers who were scolding their mothers in their hearts, Zhou Yi himself was shocked.

Is Grammy crazy?

The next second after the results were announced, batch after batch of "shady" messages flooded the Grammy official website.

She won the Best of the Year in two general categories and the Best in four categories, a total of six trophies, surpassing Beyoncé to become the biggest winner of this year's Grammy - the report card handed over by Zhou Yi somewhat let Heizi break through. .

"It's an honor for the world of music to have a talent like Spike."

The chairman of the organizing committee smiled very kindly: "He is a well-deserved superstar, and he is a pioneer who has set an example for music exploration. It was he who tried the feasibility of digital music downloading for the music world and brought new benefits to the precarious music market. A new path has been opened up..."

As an old man who cares about the development of the music industry, the reason why he prefers Zhou Yi is because of the path Zhou Yi has taken.

From being ridiculed when Apple proposed this idea to Zhou Yi using himself as a bargaining chip to expand the territory. In terms of emotion and reason, he saved the weakened music industry.

Since it is powerless to resist Internet piracy, then find a way to do paid downloads, at least there is still money to be made.

At least that's how they see it.

Although many judges are still unhappy with Zhou Yi, they still choose to turn a blind eye to the continuous flow of dollars from the Apple Music Store.

Don't say that he is just picking up a bargain, Zhou Yi is the superstar that Apple found last.

"The Rock King Who Saved the Music Industry" -

The next day, a headline published on the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times attracted attention, and the accompanying picture was a photo of Zhou Yi holding six Grammy phonograph trophies in his hands for an interview.

"Obviously, as the country with the highest level of music in the world, we have not yet adapted to the intensity brought by Spike. This is a fact that all American musicians should reflect on..."
