China Entertainment 2000

"Losing to Spike, Beyoncé was pinned down!" 》

"The last fig leaf was torn off, a shameful night for the American music scene!" 》

"What happened to our country's musicians?" 》

"..."

On February 9, photos of Zhou Yi holding six Grammy trophies and grinning with big teeth were published by newspapers, magazines, and television including "Entertainment Weekly", "Hollywood Reporter", CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, etc. The internal media published it, attracting the attention of the industry and the public.

The Grammys originally attracted a lot of attention during the Grammys, but this time it suddenly increased to a higher level, making the seriousness even more obvious——

Especially The Hollywood Reporter.

Founded on September 1, 1930, it has developed into one of the two top newspaper giants in the American entertainment industry.

Initially, it only reported Hollywood movie news. After the popularity of television in the 1950s, it also began to report TV news. It was no longer limited to movies, but expanded its coverage to music, drama, fashion, business and other fields.

Known for providing in-depth industry news, exclusives, commentary and analysis, the outlet often represents authority in Hollywood.

As the vane of the Hollywood entertainment industry, it has a huge influence on European and American star circles. It is one of the most authoritative media outlets in North America for entertainment information and heavyweight entertainment award ceremony reports.

Due to the variable Zhou Yi this year, they naturally paid full attention to the Grammys, but the final result allowed Daniel Wellman, one of the executive editors, to break their guard——

"What happened to our country's musicians?" 》

This is what he had to say about this year's Grammy Awards.

“I don’t understand how Spike, a halfway decent musician, could evolve to this point in such a short period of time, while musicians in our country are still stuck in the past victories and glory.

"Norah Jones' narrow win over Spike at the Grammys last year should have sounded the alarm for the American music scene, but not many of our musicians took it seriously, so that a shameful scene happened last night - Spike Parker became the artist with the most Grammy awards.

"They were still basking in Beyoncé's solo success, but God, she failed, she didn't defeat Spike like Norah Jones and defend the honor of American music.

"On the territory of the United States, a Chinese singer from China has won more Grammy awards than all American singers. Is this reasonable?"

Between the lines, there is revealed the defenselessness and incompetence of this fifty-year-old American star-spangled man. He even criticized Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who only know marketing hype - claiming to be the best hope of sniping Zhou Yi. They disappoint.

As another giant who is known as the two top giants in the American entertainment industry along with "Hollywood Report", one day later, "Variety" executive editor David Simon became the biggest winner through Zhouyi's sweep of the Grammys. The news, as always, criticized the problems of the American system——

"America through the lens of Spike's Grammy sweep"

"Spike being the biggest winner at this year's Grammy makes me think.

"Spike's native language is not English. All the music knowledge and English knowledge he learned came from China, and he has never set foot on American soil.

“This is the key to his rapid progress. American laws that condone crime are destroying everything in our country——

"When singers such as Jay-y, Diddy, 50 Cent, etc. who are suspected of serious crimes can actually be active on the stage and spread their values ​​​​to the public and are sought after, this represents the music aesthetics of the next generation. It's over.

"Spike's rapid growth is due to his stable life and growth environment. But what about us?

"To put it bluntly, I think our Spike is now being threatened by violence, drugs, guns and even death. This soil has been polluted. This must be a problem with the system..."

How is this country? I pondered and asked.

A set of three consecutive songs of high quality, somewhat amplifying Zhou Yi's sweep of the Grammys this time.

The key is that there is reason and evidence——

If nothing else, take this year's Grammy nomination list as an example. Shooting eight out of ten may sound a bit excessive, but shooting six will definitely miss the mark.

The award presenters can even win over most of the criminals, and there are all kinds of unspoken rules for drug abuse, pimping...

If you have money, fame and status, you will pay some money and put on a show after committing a crime. Within three years, you will be a good man and continue to be active in front of the stage. He will still put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, earning a good reputation.

Let's put it this way, Eminem, who was exposed to drug overdose in the past two years, has actually been clean in the American music scene.

Comparing the two, Zhou Yi, who comes from China, can be said to be completely out of place in the American music scene. He has nothing to do with the four-piece set of guns, violence, drugs and drug addiction. He has many scandals, but he doesn't even have a scandal involving forced sex trafficking.

Putting aside his flamboyant personality, he is simply a good boy, and he doesn’t even have a tattoo.

It’s no wonder that in the 2003 Entertainment Personality of the Year released by People magazine in January this year, Zhou Yi topped the list of the most popular male musicians among women with 73% of female votes, far surpassing the second-placed super boy Justin Ting. Black.

Zhou Yi found this sentence pattern familiar.

"Although I use you as a gun to criticize other people, it doesn't matter. You can still gain fame and fortune."

Qian Jiang was almost laughing to death. He finally held it back and handed the publicity plan to him for review: "In addition to the publicity activities on the schedule, the 22nd of this month will be the recording of the China-Japanese Song Concert. You will go to Japan on the 20th. Just a simple rehearsal on the 21st.”

On February 22, 2004, the official government officially restarted the Sino-Japanese Song Contest. It was no longer just a spontaneous organization of folk associations like last year.

As the leading brother, Zhou Yi naturally had to go over and sing two songs to support him.

"After this, you will go back to the United States at the end of the month to attend the Oscars with the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean."

"If I hadn't called the captain over, I wouldn't have bothered to agree to go to the Oscars."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but complain after seeing the Oscar trip.

The "Conan Show" he arranged also invited Johnny Depp to be a guest. In exchange, it was natural for the crew to ask him to go to the Oscars to help support the topic.

"Why don't you go? What a great exposure opportunity. You don't have much time to show your face in the United States. Maybe you can win the best song award."

"It's hopeless. This is the year of Lord of the Rings 3."

Zhou Yi poured cold water on Qian Jiang's optimism without mercy.

Last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was indeed a global hit, but Naihe encountered the monster "Lord of the Rings 3" and was completely surrounded by all aspects. The rankings of various awards were directly crushed. Naturally, this year's Oscars will not be the same. exception--

The 76th Academy Awards include Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound Editing, Best Song, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Score, Best Makeup, Best Art Direction, and Best Director. And...Best Picture.

This is how the monster "Lord of the Rings 3" swept the Oscars this year.

As the final installment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, no one can stop it.

Zhou Yi shook two fingers: "Let's put it this way, it's basically equivalent to the "Forever Young" I took out, which is just two words: invincible."

"Forever Young" is basically the strongest English album he can deliver that is popular in both the East and the West, just to make a big splash in 2003, the last year of the traditional record era.

This can be seen from the current B-chart rankings. It has been nearly a year, and all songs are still in the top 30 and continue to dominate the charts. There are still 3 songs that have not fallen out of the top 10, making the entire North American music scene feel powerless to resist. feel.

A truly dominating album.

The key is that with the help of the Apple Music Store, it will be visible to the naked eye that it will continue to dominate the charts in the future...

"Is "Lord of the Rings 3" so powerful?"

"You think that although this thing is just average in East Asia, in Europe and the United States it is really a mass killing."

Zhou Yi closed the promotional sheet nonchalantly.

However, just when he started to appear on North American programs for interviews, the news of his random killing at the Grammys caused a stir in East Asia——

To be precise, it is the "dispute over ownership" between South Korea and China.

On February 9, East Asia time, some Korean media, which had been planning for a long time, directly released the news that "Zhou Yi's ancestor is suspected to be Korean" and also released the so-called evidence——

"Jiangnan is orthodox in South Korea! Not to mention Jiangxi, few Chinese people think that Jiangxi belongs to Jiangnan!"

Although it was just for the sake of popularity, this move won the praise of many Korean netizens...

As soon as this news came out, Chinese netizens who were still rejoicing that Zhou Yi swept the Grammys were dumbfounded——

Damn it? !

Why is Zhou Yi still of Korean descent?

"Shit! These bastards just deserve to be beaten!"

"You're still fucking orthodox in Jiangnan. Does your mother deserve to be Korean?"

"One thing to say is, although Koreans are shameful, Jiangxi really can't be considered Jiangnan. It feels a bit far-fetched. I have wanted to say this before."

"I'm forcing your mother to ask, where are the three famous buildings and the four major academies in Jiangnan? You idiot!"

"Jiangxi's economy is still in decline. Who would dare to expel Jiangnan residents?"

"Don't be busy with the internal strife in the region, otherwise Zhou Yi will be deprived of his nationality."

"..."

The Internet is a gathering of elites, and regions are attacking each other before they even reach the tenth floor. There is no trace of the identity of Internet elites.

Only forums such as Tianya are making a lot of money. Because of this wave of scolding wars over geographical ownership, the traffic of the forums has increased one after another, and the mouth is almost smiling——

After all, Zhou Yi's nationality issue is one that normal people know he is not Korean, but the issue of Jiangnan's ownership is an enduring debate on the Internet.

I came here once before when Zhouyi released his second album "Jiangnan", and now he comes again...
