No. 64 Future Sounds》(Part 1)

"Did the Sun reporter get under the bed?"

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yi, who was having breakfast with the newspaper delivered by his assistant, was so suspicious that he couldn't help but turn his head and glance under the bed.

In the large bathroom, Scarlett Johansson wiped her hair and walked out after taking a shower. She casually wrapped her figure with a bathrobe, but she became even more beautiful the moment she sat down——

"Is it possible that they make a living off of their talent for writing?"

Glancing at the description of herself in the newspaper, Scarlett Johansson didn't take it seriously at all: "What's wrong with this? At least they didn't take any naked photos of us. If it were the previous group of people, they would have pointed out Maybe I will hide under the bed to take pictures and record videos of you.”

"Are you so wild?"

"Welcome to Hollywood, honey, where heat is everything."

Scarlett Johansson picked up her phone and replied to her agent's message with a smile. She took a sip of the coffee she had prepared in a hoarse voice and said, "Do you need me to cooperate with you in some public relations?"

"That's not necessary. I don't need this. But you, is that okay?"

Zhou Yi folded a corner of the newspaper and pursed his lips toward the window: "Do you believe there are reporters outside who want to interview you and me?"

"well..."

Scarlett Johansson shook her hair and leaned back on the chair, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Although this is an accident, I think this is a good hit. At least it steals the headlines, right? ?”

"You are open-minded."

"Thanks for the compliment."

The woman who had eaten a grape smiled and raised her leg to rest on the man's lap: "However, you still need a clear reason."

"...?"

Half an hour later, with a large number of reporters outside the hotel looking forward to it, Scarlett Johansson, who had changed into a simple denim jacket and high-waisted casual pants, appeared in their shots wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes——

"Scarlett?!"

"It's Scarlett!"

"Miss Scarlett, are you currently dating Spike?"

"Scarlett, what do you think about elevator shocks?"

"Scarlett..."

The woman surrounded by long guns and short cannons did not panic at all, with a smug smile on her lips: "Actually, I haven't watched the news yet, so I don't know what happened. However, there is nothing like what you said between me and Spike. relation."

"But someone took a picture——"

"It's just a misplacement. In fact, the reason why I sent Spike back was not only because he lives here, but also because I planned to talk to him about the MV schedule. I am the heroine in one of the MVs for his new album."

"There's also talk of you spending a lot of time in Spike's room—"

"I'm very interested in Chinese. To learn Chinese, of course I have to find Spike, right?"

"..."

Do you think I believe it or not?

Why are you still learning Chinese and lying here? !

"I'm not with Spike, I'm single, and so is he. In fact, we got really close because I was interested in his new album, listen/Future Sounds, and we—"

——? !

"Wait, I'm sorry, I have to leave, please give way."

Scarlett Johansson, who seemed to be really anxious, emphasized it in an extremely fast tone, but the accidentally leaked album name made her react instantly and immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Now it was the reporters' turn to be anxious.

Did my mother have any unexpected gains? !

I didn't expect that Spike's new album would be released in this way. You still said that it doesn't matter that you two are innocent? !

As if it had grown wings, the leaked news about Zhou Yi's new album immediately spread all over the Internet. Some well-connected people directly called Warner's insider to ask, but the insider still didn't know anything about it——

What?

New album set?

I don't know.

As Zhou Yi's agent, Qian Jiang's cell phone was immediately blasted——

This somewhat made him dumbfounded.

To be honest, even he only found out and confirmed the album title after reading the news and listening to rumors. Before, he only knew that Zhou Yi had been hesitating, wandering between several album names.

"It was confirmed after the Oscars last night. We can start production after returning to China in a few days."

Because of Zhou Yi, Warner (China) directly introduced a batch of the most advanced recording studio equipment in the world after the reorganization of its headquarters for the use of the company's singers.

Sun Yanzi, Wang Feng, Hu Yanbing, and even He Jiong and others who just came here recently can use these good equipment with Zhou Yi's help.

You know, these things are not even updated by Sony (China). In order to keep improving, Wang Lihong, now the first brother of Sony (China), sometimes has to go back to the United States to make songs. Even though the recording environment is quite different, Zhou Yi obviously prefers to return to his country. He would feel more comfortable composing songs in an environment he is familiar with.

"Okay, you send me your request and I will help you arrange it."

"Um."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi sat in his chair and turned the pen in his hand. He glanced at the finalized 12 song titles on the paper and fell into deep thought——

"listen/Future Sounds", the Chinese translation is "Listen/Future Sounds".

A song title with a double meaning that contains metaphorical meaning.

The first song on side A: "Trespassing"

One of Adam Lambert's masterpieces, it starts with the issue of "trespassing", combined with funk style, full of rhythm and echoing the accusations he has been criticized by some European and American media.

What's more important is that he once said something similar to the lyrics of this song at a press conference to expose 50 Cent, and now he just recycled it into the album to retaliate against those in the media.

The second song: "boom boom pow".

The Black Eyed Peas' dazzling performance is also the work that helped them achieve global success.

Not only has it topped the charts in more than ten countries around the world, but it has topped the US Billboard singles chart for 12 consecutive weeks - a full three months!

This song is also the beginning of echoing the "future sound" in the album's title. The psychedelic atmosphere is filled with advanced technology.

The third song: "24K Magic".

Martian's Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

Like "Trespassing", this song is also filled with an extremely dynamic funk style, but the arrangement and production are visibly exquisite and ahead of its time.

Of course, the reason that prompted Zhou Yi to choose this song was because of its lyrics——

"Pop pop, it's show time

“Guess who's back again? (Guess who's back with a bang)

"Oh they don't know? (Oh they don't know?)

"I bet they know soon as we walk in (I dare say they will know when we kill the bang)."

Yes, this song is so crazy, and it perfectly fits Zhou Yi’s status and current situation at this moment——

After the response of "Trespassing" and the dazzling performance of "Boom Boom Pow", the third song "24K Magic" clearly tells you that I am back. No matter how much you don't like it, it doesn't matter. I just want to slaughter you. List.

And after that, there were two top singles that were as popular as "boom boom pow" -

The fourth song: "That's What I Like".

Martian Brother Guandan, a song with an extremely sultry style, is not only very consistent with Zhou Yi's romantic behavior, but also very close to his image and persona——

“So pop it for a pimp (Look who is so handsome)

“Pop pop it for me

“Turn around and drop it for a pimp

"Drop drop it for me."

This is the general idea of ​​one of the lyrics, which, like "24K Magic", is very consistent with his current status——

The previous song announced his return, and this one made everyone pay tribute to his arrival.

The fifth song: "Sexy Back".

This is one of the masterpieces that helped Justin Timberlake, nicknamed Boss Jia, become the world's top singer.

Not only did it dominate the major charts around the world, but it also topped the charts for seven consecutive weeks in the United States, completely establishing its position in the music world after its solo career.

The song has a sultry style, and the title of the song is a pun, which not only means "sexy return", but also refers to the sexy return of Zhou Yi himself——

Because there were several songs in his first album that were rated as sexy, but not in his second English album.

Now with her third album, sexiness is back again - "Sexy Back".

And because the lyrics of this song are somewhat deviant, giving people a sense of unrestrained and unrestrained, so the last song of side A——

The sixth song on side A: "Lose Control".

One of the masterpieces of the Canadian pop rock band Hedley, a pop rock song with a strong rhythm, peaked at No. 7 on the Canadian singles chart.

While the first five songs express their own voices, this song as a whole is full of unrestrained and releasing emotions, giving people the feeling of being immersed in the rhythm and melody of rock and gradually losing control.

At the same time, it is also a summary of side A’s style of letting go of oneself——

Free, unrestrained, like to show off skills, suspected of being out of control, very happy, but it sounds very rhythmic and exciting.
