China Entertainment 2000

In just three days, this piece of news that was only spread within a small area swept through the entire domestic entertainment industry like a hurricane.

Some mainland artists who are already active in the mainland and Hong Kong are fine. Whether they can go to Treasure Island to promote is not a big problem for them.

On the other hand, people in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry are almost grinning, especially those entertainment companies that are already seeking cooperation with the mainland.

Thanks to his rapid popularity across the country last year, Zhou Yi, who was officially promoted to the top brother in the mainland music scene, suddenly attracted a lot of attention amid the ban.

Those who received the same treatment as him were the group of people who became famous with "Huanzhugege".

Fortunately for Fan Bingbin, she has already left Qiong Yao Company, and it is impossible for her to get any more roles in the Baodao entertainment industry. Now she is backed by Chen Shufen, Mrs. Chen Shufen in the Hong Kong industry, and she has no intersection of interests with the Baodao industry.

Zhao Weike was unlucky.

She was currently filming Qiong Yao's TV series "Love in the Rain" and was immediately confused by this increasingly popular rumor.

Counting her, there are only three mainlanders in the cast of Huanzhu.

Now Fan Bingbin has been lured away by Chen Shufen in Hong Kong. Zhou Jie himself has a unit in the mainland and has just filmed the popular "Young Man Bao Qingtian". She is the only one signed by Qiong Yao.

I thought that I would have a bright future as the only child, but now I don't even talk about my future, and I might not be able to perform at all.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the company will not give up on you.

"It's just that you can't promote it, but it doesn't mean that you can't film TV series. As long as you don't officially appear in front of the Baodao camera for interviews or promotions, "Love in the Rain" can still be broadcast.

"What's more, the company also has connections in Hong Kong. After filming "Love in the Rain", the company will help you work hard to expand your career in the mainland and Hong Kong film and television circles."

Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law, He Xiuqiong, understood the feelings of her generals, and immediately called Zhao Wei to give Zhao Wei some reassurance after the news was officially announced.

After comforting Zhao Wei, He Xiuqiong lowered his head and looked at the dozens of newspapers on his desk. The headlines were all related to this matter.

And thanks to Zhou Yi's illustrious reputation that he conquered the Baodao music scene last year, his name and photos frequently appeared on the headlines of every newspaper——

"The Book of Changes, the millennium music miracle will eventually fall!" 》

"Li Zongsheng: This is a shame, Zhou Yi should not be treated like this"

"Warner: Zhouyi is still a treasure in the Chinese music scene!" 》

"..."

Without exception, their pages were given to Zhou Yi, who made the entire Baodao music scene tremble last year.

"You deserve it! He was so arrogant! He helped Fan Bingbin, but now he can't even protect himself!"

It’s still a familiar office and familiar people.

The middle-aged man who was angrily scolded by He Xiuqiong last time for trying to upset Zhou Yidong was obviously in a good mood at the moment: "Fan Bingbin can run fast, otherwise I can force her to do it if she doesn't bow her head after this restraining order is issued. She retreated."

He Xiuqiong did not scold him again this time, her tone was also full of gloating: "Who knew that such a thing would happen."

Just over a month ago, Zhou Yi interfered and disrupted Fan Bingbin's contract. It was impossible for her not to be angry.

"But there is no need to be too happy. His popularity is still there after all. Unless Baodao completely bans the sale of his albums, he can still gather a certain number of fans on the island."

After celebrating the album, He Xiuqiong put down the coffee cup in his hand: "Without publicity, his album sales will drop a lot."

For a singer of this level, Baodao's music market is a large market worth hundreds of thousands. Losing such a large piece of meat for no reason was extremely painful for both Warner and Zhou Yi.

It's just that for He Xiuqiong, seeing Zhou Yi and Warner, who were at odds with each other, suffer less and make less money, that was simply happier than her own winning the jackpot.

"It is impossible for Warner to change this decision. Just relying on Sun Yanzi, who has tied the name of Warner's twin stars, she cannot help Zhou Yi maintain his high popularity on the island."

He Xiuqiong happily added sugar to her coffee, turned on the TV in the office, and prepared to take a look at the news in the media - but as soon as she turned on the TV, she saw the album promotion press release that Foremost Records bought for its female singer Zhang Shaohan.

When promoting the show, Zhang Shaohan, who has big eyes like porcelain dolls, did not shy away from his friendship with Zhou Yi: "Yes, the two title songs in my album were both written for me by Zhou Yi. He is a very gentle and considerate man.

"In fact, in order for me to play these two songs perfectly, Zhou Yi specially selected time to help me arrange and record the songs.

“He’s a really good, good guy.

"When he first approached me to sing "Happy Worship", I hadn't even debuted yet. He came to me just because he heard my voice."

As Zhang Shaohan, who became famous for his unique voice in the two songs "Happy Worship" and "Have to Love" and left a deep impression on people, he directly used Zhou Yi to talk about it in his album promotion.

Two songs, "Fable" and "First Dream", written, composed and arranged by Zhou Yi, also began to chart on major radio stations with the arrangement of Fumao Records.

In the current Baodao music rankings, there are already two songs occupying 1-2 places: "Little Lucky" and "Green Light" from Sun Yanzi.

"I don't understand why this happened, but I can definitely tell you and his fans that Zhou Yi is definitely not a bad person.

"He has a great personality and is a gentleman in the truest sense."

Sun Yanzi, who recreated the sales storm last June with his second album "The Happiness I Want", also accepted many interviews from the media during a variety show on the island.

Especially on the show hosted by Wu Zongxian, in order to help Zhou Yi build momentum, she did not shy away from exposing some interesting things about playing with Zhou Yi in the company before she debuted.

There is even surveillance video to prove it.

Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi in the surveillance room were very cheerful and playful, especially Sun Yanzi's appearance of being amused and giggling.

He would even call Sun Yanzi "teacher" in private!

These surveillance videos, which Warner took the initiative to expose, set off a frenzy of discussion in Baodao as soon as they were aired. Zhouyi's wise words that transcended the limitations of the times became a mantra that young people often talk about in a short period of time.

For a time, it was clear that Zhou Yi was not on Treasure Island in February, but the entire Treasure Island was filled with interesting stories about him.

And this fire of anecdotes became even stronger with the addition of Zhang Shaohan——

"Fable" and "First Dream", two songs that perfectly fit his tone, went straight to the top ten on the charts as soon as they were released.

The uniform "Lyrics: Zhou Yi", "Composer: Zhou Yi", and "Arranger: Zhou Yi" echoes "Little Lucky" and "Green Light" currently ranked first and second on the monthly list, because the latter two besides singing Apart from this column, everything else is also Zhouyi.

With the collector's edition surveillance video released by Warner, Zhou Yi's private humor and Sun Yanzi's tacit exchanges have already caused an uproar on the island. Zhang Shaohan's two songs that can be called king bombs have been released. The release even aroused exclamations from many fans.

The most direct consequence of this is that Zhou Yi's songs, which had gradually surrendered the top spot on the monthly charts as time went by, suddenly shot up as if they had taken medicine.

"Happy Worship" and "Have to Love" returned to the top five, and the guide also discovered two dance songs, "Jingwumen" and "It's Me", which were overshadowed by other songs at the beginning of their release.

Singer-songwriter Dai Penny, who just released her second album not long ago, was even more on the verge of tears because the return of these two songs on the list happened to squeeze out the song "How" from her new album.

What is this!

It’s not like she was the one to block it, so why was she the one who got hurt? !

While fans were still talking about it, Virgin Records’ diva Elva Hsiao also officially announced the release date of her new album, and also announced the first and second hits of the album——

"The Title Song of Love";

"The Sun Never Sets".

The lyrics are written by Zhou Yi, the composer is Zhou Yi, and the arranger is still Zhou Yi...

If we say that throughout the first half of February 2001, "Fable" and "Initial Dream" were fighting with Sun Yanzi on the rankings, it would make people say that Fu Mao has found another strong player;

Then the second half of February 2001 belonged to the world of "The Title Song of Love" and "The Sun Never Sets".

Especially "The Title Song of Love".

Elva Hsiao, who was already extremely popular, became extremely popular with "The Title Song of Love". Sales exceeded 100,000 in four days, and 180,000 copies were sold in the first week. She became the only one who could sing "Green" in early 2001. A female singer who competes with Sun Yanzi of "Light" and "Little Lucky" in terms of album sales and popularity.

Due to Zhang Shaohan's initial lack of popularity, the album sales were at a disadvantage, but the rankings of the two singles were stubbornly clinging to the two seniors.

Even the song "First Dream" has often succeeded in leapfrogging the challenge, knocking out "Green Light" and "The Title Song of Love".

"Green Light", "Little Lucky", "The Title Song of Love", "The Sun Never Sets", "Fable", "First Dream", six songs with the name "Zhouyi" written all over them except for the singing column , taught the Baodao music scene a hard lesson in early 2001!

Sun Yanzi, Elva Hsiao, and Zhang Shaohan, these three female singers who have a very close relationship with Zhou Yi took turns to sit on the championship throne, which made the music industry people and the audience dumbfounded.

With the unified support of the three of them, pressure from Warner and Coca-Cola also came soon——

This combination of punches stunned Baodao himself.

No, when did your major record companies become so united?

Shouldn't it be a competitive relationship?

Originally, I really didn’t want to put Zhou Yi on the list of Golden Melody Awards, but this time Baodao really couldn’t do it.

There is no other reason than that the six songs Zhou Yi threw out attracted so many fans that they directly put Sun Yanzi, Elva Hsiao, and Zhang Shaohan ahead of others on the list.

Throughout February 2001, the Baodao music scene witnessed a rare tripartite confrontation between three female singers. Only "Courage" by Liang Jingru of Rolling Stone Records could barely stay at number nine.

If Zhou Yi hadn't been so loved by the fans of these three people, I'm afraid "Happy Worship" and "Have to Love" wouldn't have made it into the top ten.

Baodao wants to deliberately downplay the influence of Zhou Yi, a mainland singer, on the island. After all, this man is much better than Naying, and too many young people like him.

But I couldn’t bear the unabashed support from Sun Yanzi, Elva Hsiao and Zhang Shaohan.

This is very embarrassing.

You can’t ban Sun Yanzi from Singapore, right? Or are Elva Hsiao and Zhang Shaohan, locals from Baodao, blocked?

Baodao, which only dares to restrict mainland artists, is directly numb, discussing the sudden increase in discussion and popularity of Zhouyi.

Fortunately, at this very moment, Jay Chou, who rose to fame last year with the song "Jay" and won the reputation of "the second newcomer under the Book of Changes", personally revealed something about gangsters when he participated in a variety show. Zhou Yi's matter of shaping the golden body——

"Zhou Yi is a good friend of mine. Without him, Geng Hong, Wen Lan, and I would have died long ago."

In the variety show, Jay Chou, who never stops talking, is sitting in the interview seat. His green cheeks wearing a baseball cap are full of loyalty for his friends. He also recounts his life with Zhou Yina in great detail. friendship.

The big screen at the show also showed the original news reports in due time. Zhou Yi who was coding and Jay Chou who was coding were in sharp contrast with Liu Genhong who was half dead and Wen Lan who was lying on a stretcher.

The two were lying down, but they were still standing and communicating.

"What did you say? Jay Chou also spoke for me?"

Mainland, Imperial Capital, Warner Wheat Field.

Zhou Yi, who used the characteristics of the treasure island to control a song battle for himself, heard this and looked at Zhou Jianhui sitting in front of him in surprise.

"Wu Zongxian should have stopped him, but Jay Chou is, how should I put it, quite loyal."

Seeing Zhou Yi leisurely chewing raisins in front of him, Zhou Jianhui's eyes twitched a few times: "Saving three lives is enough to generate enough public opinion for you.

"They have to let the Golden Melody Awards go even if they don't want to. Coca-Cola can also run ads about you normally, except that you still can't go on stage to promote or perform."

Not to mention anything else, just saving three lives can be regarded as a high-quality idol. Especially Zhou Yi has always hidden his merit and fame and never took the initiative to talk about it to the outside world.

If Zhou Jielun hadn't taken the initiative to expose himself to the outside world, no one except themselves would have known that Zhou Yi had such great achievements.

Zhou Yi, who understood Zhou Jielun's heart-warming assist, pursed his lips, and his eyes suddenly felt a little more comfortable.

"Also, there's another good thing."

Zhou Jianhui's tone was somewhat strange when he saw that Zhou Yi was making a huge difference in public opinion at such a young age: "The mainland also knows about your glorious deeds.

"Let's call it a glorious deed. For example, Korean and Japanese companies came to buy your song cover rights; another example is that you saved three people but kept a low profile."

Zhou Jianhui handed an invitation letter to Zhou Yi. The latter picked it up, took a look at it, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Official Sino-Korean song concert?"
