China Entertainment 2000

In just a few days, in several cities such as Imperial Capital, Tianjin, Changsha, and Shangrao, the popularity of "Gardenia Blossoms" took the lead in defeating many past folk singers and became the new favorite on the charts.

Especially in the imperial capital and its surrounding cities.

If the two cities of Changsha and Shangrao were influenced by He Jiong and Zhou Yi, then in the imperial capital and its surrounding cities, the popularity of "Gardenia Blossoms" seems to prove to people in the circle that folk songs Not dead.

In other words, it seems that folk songs still have the possibility of becoming popular on a mass level.

"Let's not mention other cities for now. Just in the imperial capital alone, how many folk songs have been born in the past? Folk singers? It's strange that a graduate of Peking University has written a song casually, and a non-professional graduate of Beijing Foreign Studies University has written a song casually. The singer became famous immediately."

"Everyone blames the general environment for being bad. Why didn't you say that the general environment was bad when folk songs were popular in the past? Now that you can't make money, you just say that the general environment is bad?"

"Don't blame the uneven road for people's incompetence..."

The first person to understand how to play Internet portal news, the comment area under the relevant news section of Sohu's entertainment news section was full of ridicule for the Zhou Yi hackers (the folk song limited edition).

Those who wanted to refute couldn't find an angle from which to deal with it, and could only switch to pretending to be dead or scolding each other.

Although the Pepsi Music Chart recently revealed the scandal that "Sony Records is suspected of buying charts for Wang Lihong", ordinary people in the imperial capital and surrounding cities still like songs that are quite consistent with the weekly, monthly and even yearly charts of the Music Chart. Ranked.

In the latest weekly chart data of this music chart, "Gardenia Blooms" has squeezed into the top fifteen, acting as a gatekeeper.

This is undoubtedly a gratifying result for a ballad, especially since none of the other songs in He Jiong's album were on the list.

And if this hot trend continues, it may not be impossible to enter the top ten, or even the top five.

For a time, He Jiong, a famous host who crossed over to sing, became popular as a singer.

Yes, you can say that the melody structure of this song is simple and there is no difficulty in singing it at all. But looking at the history of domestic folk songs to this day, how many folk songs can be said to be difficult?

Folk singers generally have some singing skills, so don’t you know what they are good at?

In other words, this is most likely a song that Zhou Yi specifically tailored for He Jiong, considering the existence of a non-professional singer. That’s why it was so easy to write.

“Actually, it is.

"Everyone knows that the source of this song is actually a passage that Zhou Yi hummed at the base camp at the beginning, but he was afraid that it would be difficult for me to sing when recording the song, so he deliberately wrote the lyrics of the entire song in an easy-to-understand way."

In the latest episode of "Happy Camp" broadcast on the evening of the 10th, He Jiong, who served as both host and guest for the first time, invited many album production staff to tell some behind-the-scenes stories.

When he said that the song was as simple as a children's song, He Jiong explained his reading comprehension and once again thanked Zhou Yi for his good intentions: "Actually, even if it is like this, I was thinking about it when I was recording the song. I’m worried that I can’t sing well, but Zhou Yi came to help me find the feeling..."

Just as he was talking, the program team also released the video of Zhou Yi holding the guitar in his arms and demonstrating how to sing in the recording studio——

The chaotic scene that suddenly appeared on the big screen made all the audience exclaimed!

"F*ck! Was it recorded by Sun Yanzi?!"

"What's going on with these two? Why are they really together in private?"

"..."

On the big screen, as Zhou Yi played and sang "Gardenia Blossoms", Sun Yanzi put down the DVD and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. His dangling feet swayed gently to the rhythm, and the toes of his shoes poked down from time to time. ground……

As the original singer, He Jiong gives people the impression of an outsider in this scene.

"Well, I believe you have also seen it. This is the demonstration that Zhou Yi taught me how to sing..."

This video was not finished, it can even be said that it was not even half of it, but even so, after the show was broadcast, it became the confidence for Gemini CP fans to dare to speak loudly——

"Heizi, let's talk! Who dares to say that it is a company's marketing, but the reality is completely different?!"

"Tch, is it possible that this is also part of the company's marketing, otherwise He Jiong would release it? Don't forget that he also signed a record contract with Warner."

"You're just fucking jealous. Dancer Xiao will never find a video like this in her life."

"? I'm a fan of Cai Yilin!"

"Then your aesthetics are even worse."

"Fuck you, isn't Cai Yilin better than Sun Yanzi, a loser?"

"I'm just relying on Jay Chou's trash. Without Jay Chou, how could he succeed at Sony? How about little Lin Xinru? If Lin Xinru looked like this, Erkang would have been in trouble."

"Idiot, it's like Ma Gan became popular after leaving Zhou Yi, but Jiulin became popular at Universal at the end of the last century."

"I'm sorry, our Yanzi family has a lot of good songs that are widely sung without relying on the Book of Changes..."

"..."

As the new generation of Chinese-speaking female singers has initially stabilized, Cai Yilin's fans who want to have their own ecological niche have obviously joined the battlefield - once the scolding started, the topic naturally became distorted.

However, there is no doubt that the appearance of Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi in this way definitely added fuel to the fire of "Gardenia Blooms".

By April 19, he had successfully squeezed into the seventh place in the new issue of the Fengyun Chart, and the album sales were heading for 120,000 copies nationwide.

For a host, such an achievement can be said to be a success.

You know, He Jiong had never released any album before. But it was such a person who, with a song by Zhou Yi, directly became the best folk singer in the world?

"Almost. It should be difficult for a folk singer to surpass his performance in the future."

On the 20th, on the plane to Taiwan, Zhou Yi responded to Qian Jiang's words without looking up while looking at the newspaper in his hand.

Because the Golden Melody Awards are approaching, the Taiwanese entertainment media, which always pay attention to mainland musicians, especially Zhou Yi's movements, directly bombarded this achievement created by Zhou Yi.

"Turning stones into gold, Zhou Yi's gold content is unquestionable!"

This is the headline of the newspaper in his hand, and his headshot.

Although I am not in Taiwan, there will always be legends about me in Taiwan.

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course, the folk music market is almost dead, and only the young intellectuals are partying."

Zhou Yi, who had been sitting for a long time, yawned and stretched his body.

In his impression, the song "Gardenia Blossoms" has been on the list for a total of 28 weeks, four weeks a month, which means that the song has been on the list for a full 7 months without being kicked out.

In these 28 weeks, it has been in the top ten for 18 weeks, four and a half months.

The peak height is third on the weekly list, and this peak has lasted for a full 7 weeks. It is conceivable that the popularity of "Gardenia Blossoms" in 2004 is the most successful folk song in the record era since the new century.

I just don't know if this song can break through and top the weekly list with his popularity after being released early.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi asked: "Who is the number one on the weekly list of Fengyun Chart now?"

""Mouse Loves Rice", that online song."

"..."

That's fine.

"By the way, your Taiwanese fans have prepared support for you. Remember to thank them when the time comes."

"Support?"

"Learn from Japan. Didn't Japanese fans cover billboards for you before? They also learned..."

Originally, Zhou Yi didn't take it too seriously.

As for support, the Taiwanese music scene has learned a lot from the Japanese music scene.

Until he got off the plane at night and saw the banners, flags and light billboards erected outside the airport -

All of them were him!

"Zhou Yi!!!"

"Ahhh!!! Zhou Yi!!!!"

"Zhou Yi!!!!"

Like the annual meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, when Zhou Yi walked out of the airport, the fans who had been waiting here in an orderly manner instantly lost their self-control, and even the reporters waiting for interviews were dispersed and squeezed into the front row!

"Zhou Yi, I love you!!!"

"Zhou Yi, you are the best!!!"

Wild and shocking.

What shocked Zhou Yi even more was that on his way from the airport to the hotel where he was staying, almost all the billboards were replaced with his support slogans, protesting against the criticism and criticism of him by many experts and professors.

"Wherever Zhou Yi went, the people welcomed him wholeheartedly."

On the 21st, the front page headline of Taiwan's "Liberty Times" was a shocking photo-

The car Zhou Yi was riding in was driving on the road, and there were cars of the bodyguard team in front, behind, left and right, protecting him firmly in the center. And on both sides of the road, all he could see were billboards belonging to him!
