China Entertainment 2000

"I wouldn't say this is a step back for Taiwan's music scene, but it's the fact."

"I don't understand. Twenty years ago, we didn't have such a situation where we were chasing stars and forgetting our roots. Even Miss Teresa Teng couldn't do it."

"This is a shameful show. I reasonably suspect that this is Warner's hype. Warner treats Taipei as a show for Zhou Yi. Warner has always been like this. Everyone knows that what they are best at is hype."

"To spend so much money just for a celebrity from mainland China, these fans are simply committing a crime!"

"Where did the fan support club get so much money? Is there any ulterior money transaction involved?"

"Strict investigation! My suggestion is that we must strictly investigate!"

"..."

"..."

On April 22, one day after Zhou Yi landed in Taipei and checked into a hotel, some variety shows, several entertainment and music review programs on Taiwan's major TV stations, and even some radio hosts, all took notice of the "Liberty Times" photo.

You said this was not shot at a fixed location after squatting in advance. Who would believe it?

Combined with Warner's history of hype, it's reasonable doubt for them.

At the same time, Zhou Yi's fan clubs that arranged billboards along the road for him also received unprecedented criticism and accusations.

Music critics, experts, scholars and even so-called social critics all flocked to Zhouyi like cats that smelled fishy smell——

Everyone wants to take a bite out of Zhou Yi.

The difference is that some people just want to enjoy the popularity so that they can receive more notifications and make money in the future. They will play whatever roles are arranged by the company or radio and television stations;

Some people really understood Zhou Yi's "Return to Tibet" and saw Zhou Yi's "wolfish ambition" hidden under his youthful and frivolous appearance. They no longer wanted any grace and wanted to tear apart his disguise.

Warner, who had long predicted that Zhou Yi would be caught in the whirlpool of public opinion after arriving in Taiwan, was not a vegetarian, so he teamed up with his partners to display his money-making ability——

We also roped in Coca-Cola, a major sponsor of various programs and TV stations in Taiwan.

No matter how much you criticize, you must arrange pros and cons for the program - if there are those who strongly oppose Zhou Yi, then there must be those who strongly support Zhou Yi.

What?

Not willing?

Do you still want to sponsor?

You want to tell me about journalistic independence?

Everyone relies on sponsorship, advertising, and sales. Aren’t we the ones who invest money to support them?

"Since we are all being taken care of, what's the point of talking about independence?"

Zhou Jianhui's tone was firm.

Warner is not trying to shut up. If you want to scold Zhou Yi, you can scold him as you like. We just want to send a few of our own people in to speak for Zhou Yi - this is called freedom of speech!

What do you mean by objection?

Are you going to oppose freedom of speech?

What is your purpose? What's the intention?

"One thing to say, Zhou Yi's performance came to the Golden Melody Awards. I even thought that he came here specifically for his fans. You must know that he has quietly withdrawn from many award ceremonies in mainland China, because as long as he participates, it will be No one can compete with him.”

"To be fair, Zhou Yi, as a Chinese and an Asian, has achieved such success in the world music scene. It is not surprising that he can receive such love..."

"I'm not a fan of so and so, I'm just a passerby who likes to listen to music. I think Zhou Yi is great..."

"..."

"..."

Intense debates took turns, and there were only these TV stations and radio stations on the island. It could be said that they completely covered every corner——

Anyone who is not deaf or blind can know from this sudden increase in news volume that Zhou Yi has arrived in Taiwan, and he is here for his fans.

It was originally a public opinion campaign against Zhou Yi, but under Zhou Jianhui's behind-the-scenes micro-management, it turned into a large-scale Zhou Yi news show in Taiwan——

Many ordinary passers-by who had only listened to the song finally saw what kind of innate news body this man who is infinitely rampant in today's music scene is.

Your mother won't stop this.

After all, he is an international superstar, so he is very topical. I just don’t know how many trophies the Golden Melody Awards will give such an awesome musician.

Golden Melody Award Official Jury: “…”

The Golden Melody Awards officials, who were originally just spying on the direction of public opinion, felt that they might have been dragged into a trap by Zhou Jianhui, a forced supporter.

If they really only give it to one, will their Golden Melody Awards have a credibility crisis...

The media at other levels also immediately understood Zhou Jianhui's purpose - it was broken, he was used by him!

Doesn't engaging in hedging mean to support Zhou Yi? !

Anyone who is not blind knows how strong those results are...

Zhou Yi, who did not come forward to be interviewed by the media for several days after arriving in Taipei, went shopping unaffected at all, and even visited the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall under the guidance of tour guide Sun Yanzi——

The main thing is to check out the spots in advance and see what the restaurants are like.

After all, the venue for this year's Golden Melody Awards ceremony is the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall in Taipei.

As we all know, there are two things engraved in the DNA of adult men: apart from astringency, that is forensics.

From the seven and eighty-year-olds to the park entrance debates, down to the twenty-year-olds and university dormitories where war criminals gathered.

"It's okay, it just feels like that."

After a stroll, Zhou Yi, who felt that there was nothing special, went from enthusiastic witnessing to uninterested commenting. Anyway, in terms of attractions, in his personal opinion, it was inferior to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Zhongshan, Guangdong.

The main reason was that Sun Yanzi could not support his witnessing story, and could not let him enjoy the thrill of cyber cricket fighting with each other.

"Do you think your Nanyang Technological University is too water? The world ranking is higher than Peking University, but the students are only at your level?"

"I'll punch you."

Sun Yanzi laughed and cursed, clenched his fist and feinted at his waist: "You want to die, you can slander me, but don't slander my alma mater."

"That's your problem."

"I'm not interested in history, because I met a very bad history teacher when I was a child." Sun Yanzi hummed and talked about her past.

She was also a rebellious little girl who didn't like to study in Singapore. Rebellious period is inevitable for children.

At that time, because of her poor grades, her history teacher publicly told her that she might as well not come to school for exams in the future, so as not to lower the class average. After her self-esteem was hurt, she began to work hard and finally succeeded in counterattacking.

Zhou Yi, who walked out of the venue, curiously put his hands in his pockets: "What happened next? Did he look at you with a new eye? A great story of reconciliation between teacher and student?"

"No, how could it be possible. I didn't want to pay attention to that history teacher at all. I didn't say a word to him afterwards. After I was admitted to university, I thanked all the teachers but didn't mention him." Sun Yanzi shook her short hair without hesitation, raised her head, and looked like she was so arrogant back then -

Her eyes were fierce, and her back teeth were still clenching.

It can be seen that she really hated.

"Do you have any teachers you hate?"

"Me? No, the teachers all treat me as a treasure. The kind that they hold in their hands for fear of dropping it, and hold in their mouths for fear of melting it." Zhou Yi smiled, and his boastful tone drifted into the woman's ears, which was somewhat annoying.

There is no way, if you are good at studying, you can do whatever you want.

Even the flat-headed hooligans in the school who like to block people and fight don't want to mess with him - whenever there is a fight or a quarrel or anything else, as long as Zhou Yi opens his mouth, the teacher, the head teacher, and the grade director will definitely believe him.

Where can you go to seek justice?

Zhou Yi, this thorny guy, tells lies with open eyes, and the school really believes it.

The two were hurting each other, and soon, Zhou Yi's Nokia in the pocket of his leather jacket rang -

"Hello? Old Qian?"

"Ayi, the Golden Melody Awards have compromised. They agreed to let you perform at the Golden Melody Awards, but the premise is that you can't say nonsense like in the United States, just sing for the fans."

On the other end of the phone, Qian Jiang's voice sounded visibly excited.

Zhou Yi, who was quite surprised by this agreement, raised his eyebrows: "Ah?"

"The Golden Melody Awards can't stand the pressure of public opinion. Jianhui directly muddied the water. After raising the pressure to a higher level, the Golden Melody Awards couldn't bear it. After all, none of them really received a clear notice that you can't perform on the Golden Melody Awards stage."

Qian Jiang, who has been cooperating with Zhou Jianhui in various micro-manipulations since arriving in Taipei, has only slept five hours a day for three consecutive days: "Are you rehearsing for the red carpet now?"

"Uh..."

Zhou Yi looked up at the venue sign, glanced at the woman who automatically shut up to avoid disturbing him, and said: "Oh, no, Yanzi insisted on dragging me to accompany her to visit the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall."

? ? ? ?

Sun Yanzi, who had his hands behind his back and looked comfortable, suddenly widened his eyes, raised his right index finger and pointed at Zhou Yi, who was confused, and cursed silently.

Zhou Yi, with the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably, fiddled with her persistently stretched right hand while chatting with Qian Jiang in a serious tone.

Outside the venue, a stall cart with the words "boneless chicken fillet, pearl milk tea" and a loud speaker slowly passed by -

"Pearl milk tea, boneless chicken fillet, delicious..."

"Hey! Wait a minute, hurry up, put on your hat, sunglasses and scarf, and give me some boneless chicken fillet!"

Qian Jiang: "..."
