China Entertainment 2000

Seeing Zhou Yi spinning his pen and falling into deep thought without saying a word, Qian Jiang suddenly shut up, thinking he had some inspiration. The strong body sat on the sofa in the office and twisted a bit, not daring to make even a sound for fear of interrupting his inspiration.

Having been a manager for so many years, he is very aware of the habit of singer-songwriters who can find inspiration to write songs anytime and anywhere. Li Zongsheng can come up with a classic every time he eats hot pot.

It is really completely unreasonable to write songs when such genius inspiration comes.

It wasn't until Zhou Yi felt that the surroundings seemed a little too quiet, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that Qian Jiang had huddled directly on the sofa, and he seemed to be sitting a little stiffly.

"What are you doing?"

"Ahem, isn't this the inspiration that scares you? How about it, do you have an idea?" Qian Jiang put a fist to his lips with one hand, coughed and asked with a little expectancy.

"Ah, I think the theme of the album has a general framework. I should be very busy after the new year."

After determining the framework, it was basically equivalent to filling in the songs. Zhou Yi smiled and picked up the coffee that had been placed on the coffee table, opened his mouth and took a sip: "Where are you over there? Haven't you got Rush Hour 2 yet?"

"It's not that easy. Jackie Chan's movie has just started filming, and the competition behind the scenes for the soundtrack is fierce. Do you know who your competitors are in this soundtrack?"

"who?"

"Currently in Asia, your biggest competitor is Utada Hikaru from Japan next door."

Zhou Yi was happy when he heard the name: "My chances of winning against her shouldn't be too great, right?"

It's not that he belittles himself, it's actually that Hikari Utada is too buggy.

If Japanese light novels are to be the entire Bunsho-ryu genre, then Utada Hikaru is definitely the standard template for the Bunscho-ryu protagonist.

The debut single sold 2 million at the age of 15, and the annual sales of the first album were nearly 10 million. Soon after, he and Ayumi Hamasaki would start a light-stepping battle that would go down in the history of Japanese pop music.

In terms of reputation and album sales, he is absolutely no match for Utada Hikaru.

Especially album sales.

It is a fantasy to sell an album with sales of nearly 10 million in the Chinese-speaking area. The piracy market will teach you how to behave in minutes.

Rumor has it that Ren Xianqi was too soft-hearted and sold more than 20 million copies. In fact, it was just an estimate of pirated sales. According to Rolling Stone's own statistics, the actual sales of genuine copies were over three million.

This is the genuine sales calculated after stretching it to one and a half years and nearly two years.

"Theoretically, this is true, but don't forget that you have Coca-Cola behind you. The reason why a singer signs an endorsement deal is not only to get money, but also because the sponsor itself can help the singer.

"Why have I been helping you talk about Coca-Cola and Pepsi before? It's because they have various cooperations in the music field and have been deeply influential for many years. They can help with public relations when necessary."

"It seems that Hikaru Utada's endorsement is not Coca-Cola."

Zhou Yi stretched his waist and stood up from the sofa: "Okay, let's do this for now, and then we'll talk about the original soundtrack after you've settled down.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so don't tire yourself out. It doesn't matter if you can't. After all, my base is in China."

January 23rd was New Year's Eve. He really felt homesick after walking around for half a year.

"Okay, don't worry. I bought the air tickets for you two days before when you were having dinner with Jackie Chan, Huo Wenxi, and Xie Tingfeng. I'll just take you to the airport directly later."

Zhou Yi made an OK gesture towards him, then left Warner, returned to the hotel under the escort of the driver and assistant, and began to pack his things.

Zhou Yi, who came with only a backpack but left with an extra suitcase, met an acquaintance at the airport who was also waiting for his flight.

"Book of Changes?"

Fan Bingbin, who was still reading the script, raised his eyes and happened to see Zhou Yi walking into the VIP area but not yet entering the VIP room.

"Oh, that's good. You've just received a new drama? It's different with a new agent." Zhou Yixiao saw the thick pile of paper in Fan Bingbin's hand at a glance and didn't look at it again. He joked.

"I haven't even written my horoscope yet. I want to get familiar with the role first and make sure I can get the audition after the year." Although Fan Bingbin was a little embarrassed when talking about this, the joy between his eyebrows was not concealed after all.

Compared to the experience of sitting on the bench under Qiong Yao's hands as a water dispenser administrator, this feeling of having something to do was really something she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Chen Shufen is still the kind of person with a wide network of connections, and she doesn't need to make too many twists and turns.

"Is that so, are you interested in taking some time to act in my MV after the new year?" Hearing that Fan Bingbin will be acting seriously after the new year, Zhou Yi, who was interested, immediately extended an invitation.

What a coincidence, isn't it? He happened to be thinking about the songs for the new album as well.

"Really?"

Hearing this, Fan Bingbin's eyes suddenly lit up. He patted his chest wrapped in a down jacket and promised boldly: "Okay, no problem. Then I'll wait for your call from Zhou Yi."

Although she had already accepted the role, she never forgot who pulled her out of the fire without asking for anything in return.

It's hard to find such a man now even with a lantern.

That is to say, Zhou Yi's status is too high for her now, otherwise she would have to try to catch up.

However, if it becomes really popular in the future, Fan Bingbin would like to give it a try. After all, if it becomes popular, Zhou Yi will not suspect that it is for fame and fortune.

If there is no fire, just think of it as a dream that you had when you were young.

"Which flight are you on, Zhou Yi?"

The conversation started, and Fan Bingbin's outgoing temperament, which was not as repressive as in the past, was gradually revealed, and he casually inquired about flights.

"The two-thirty trip to Nanchang Changbei Airport. What about you?"

Zhou Yi pouted angrily towards the screen.

Now that Raozhou Sanqingshan Airport has not yet been built, even if he wants to go home for the New Year, he has to take a flight back to the provincial capital first, and then take a car arranged by the company to return to his hometown.

Very time consuming.

"I fly directly to Qingdao, there is a direct connection."

Fan Bingbin explained his hometown.

While waiting for the flight, Zhou Yi, who was bored, simply chatted with Fan Bingbin, interspersed with a few jokes from time to time, making the latter laugh out loud.

Qingdao.

Chen Hao, who was helping his parents roll out noodles at home, suddenly sneezed.

January 23, New Year’s Eve.

After a long journey, Zhou Yi finally returned to his hometown in the company car and used the key to open the door of his small single-family villa in the countryside——

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

It’s still the familiar front yard, with the familiar flower beds planted with green onions and mint.

Zhao Ping, who had long since lost her work pressure and usually opened a small supermarket in the county town with her wife to keep herself active, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen when she heard the sound.

My son, whom I hadn’t seen in half a year, was standing at the entrance to the front yard. He seemed to have grown a little taller.

"Look how tired you are and how thin you are."

The first sentence they met, mother Zhao Ping complained about Warner, which put a bright smile on Zhou Yi's face.

On New Year's Eve, his father Zhou Yaoguo, who has never been good at expressing his father's love, opened a bottle of home-brewed medicinal wine, turned on the TV, watched the Spring Festival Gala, and drank to his heart's content.

There were unbearable children setting off fireworks and firecrackers in advance outside the house;

On the TV, the cross talk between Feng Gong, Guo Donglin and Guo Yue made the two elders laugh out loud.

The Spring Festival Gala of this era can still make the audience laugh from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhou Yi, who was watching the Spring Festival Gala with his parents and chatting about some gossip while drinking, saw Guo Donglin's shiny bald head on the TV, and the smile on his face became rich.

He seems to know what the first title of his second album should be.

Do you understand the gold content of "Jiangnan", the God of War on Drainage Channels?

It just so happens that Jiangxi also belongs to the ranks of Jiangnan, which is equivalent to foreigners writing songs for their hometown. It is still a Chinese-style song, and its popularity has reached its peak.

Because he still planned to stay up late on New Year's Eve, when his parents couldn't bear it anymore and went back to the bedroom to sleep, Zhou Yi, who was playing the Spring Festival Gala as background music, wrote down the second album he had just decided on in his notebook with a tipsy attitude. song--

Album name: "Jiangnan"

Jiangnan

By the plum blossoms

The east wind breaks——

After writing this, Zhou Yi was stuck for a while, subconsciously biting the tip of his pen, and then picked up the pen and wrote two other R\u0026amp;amp;B Chinese-style songs:

West Wing

Susan said.

Among these five songs, "Jiangnan" is responsible for spreading throughout the streets and alleys, and "Dongfeng Po" is responsible for promoting and laying the foundation for Chinese-style songs;

"Beside the Plum" and "Susan Said" are responsible for opening up the depth of Chinese style fusion of hiphop and R\u0026amp;amp;B;

As for the second song "West Chamber", because it is weaker than the songs above, it only needs to be responsible for the popular and popular songs to serve as a foil.

The five songs on side A have a clear division of labor and each performs its own duties, perfectly outlining the theme of the second album "Jiangnan Chinese Style".

As for side B...

In addition to "Floating to the North", Zhou Yi thought about it and picked out a few popular and highly sung works from his memory——

drifting north

Mermaid

No need to spend money if you are not trendy

love me or him

back to back hug

Big City, Small Love

Side A is responsible for interpreting the depth of the album's theme, and side B is responsible for the popularity of the album's songs, which is perfect.
