China Entertainment 2000

"This song of yours... why do I feel like you let yourself go more freely after using English lyrics?"

Hotel, in the room.

After changing out of tonight's dress and taking a shower, Sun Yanzi put on loose pajamas and sat cross-legged on the sofa. There was a dry towel on her head, with both ends of the towel hanging down, covering a little of both sides of her cheeks along the curve of her short hair——

Holding an apple with two bites in one hand, holding the music score in the other hand, he expressed his opinion: "And I didn't see how tired you are, why are you still thinking about being lazy?"

As a Singaporean, her English proficiency is naturally sufficient for her to understand the meaning of "The Lazy Song".

"You can't generalize between people. I think I should be tired."

Zhou Yi, who was spinning the pen skillfully between his fingers, chuckled and sneered at Sun Yanzi's "dirty water": "Not everyone has a body made of iron like you. You must learn to enjoy it, otherwise money is just a series of numbers."

"You think I'm thinking, I'm almost worried to death now. The second album "The Happiness I Want" was released in January, and it's only March now. It hasn't passed the promotion period yet, and the company has started to help me prepare for the second album. Three albums have been released, and I feel like there will be a new album released in July or August.”

When Sun Yanzi talked about this, she couldn't help but put her head in her hands. The towel soaked by her hair instantly disturbed her neatly arranged hair, which fully reflected the helplessness in the woman's mood: "There will be a concert next year, and there will be another concert." When you release an album, you still have to travel around to promote it.”

It turned out that she liked singing very much.

But now, the fast pace of album after album at Warner makes her feel a little suffocated, but no one can tell her about it on weekdays.

It was just in front of Zhou Yi, a familiar person, that I could express some of my inner anguish without having to worry about him leaking it out.

She had almost no personal time at all.

Coming to Zhouyi's Coca-Cola signing ceremony this time was an unspeakable holiday for her.

Since she grew up in a privileged family, she had not suffered much since she was a child and her body was overtaxed. Now she felt that she could no longer bear it.

"How about you try chatting with Chen Zeshan? Slow down the pace?"

Recalling that Sun Yanzi's brilliant record of seven albums in three years was also interspersed with many concerts, Zhou Yi, who was stunned, suggested.

As Sun Yanzi's agent and deputy general manager of Warner, this person does have abilities, but Zhou Yi still doesn't like this mentality of using it to death as long as it doesn't work.

The person who is most suitable for Chen Zeshan is actually an artist like Cai Yilin who has a high tolerance for overwork.

"I have this idea, but I haven't figured out how to tell him yet. After all, he is doing it for my own good."

Sun Yanzi, who had not yet reached the limit of his endurance and was just a little irritated by the current situation, sighed.

She was already soft-spoken, and Chen Zeshan really did his best for her and planned the route clearly.

Every time she wanted to take a break, Chen Zeshan could find dozens of ways to persuade her to continue working non-stop.

Facts have proved that Chen Zeshan was right, and now her fame has even spread to the mainland——

"Little Lucky" and "Green Light" written and composed by Zhou Yi, as well as "Began to Understand" written by Yao Ruolong and composed by her mentor Li Sisong. As her publicity and exposure increased after the year, her fame increased significantly.

At least now when mainland audiences mention "Warner Twins" it is no longer just a general concept, but they can actually describe several of Sun Yanzi's works.

Of course, the most popular female singer in the mainland is not her, but Elva Hsiao.

If in Baodao, Elva Hsiao, Sun Yanzi, and Zhang Shaohan are currently the three pillars, then in the Mainland, Elva Hsiao's songs are currently the most popular, and "Green Light" can only be ranked second.

There is no way, "The Title Song of Love" is so popular that Viking Music itself was caught off guard.

With the exception of Zhou Yi, the entire Viking music community has been stunned by the popularity of "The Title Song of Love" in the mainland market, so much so that there are now almost as many singers wanting to invite Zhou Yi to help write songs.

Having tasted the sweetness, Virgin Records and Foremost Records fully cooperated with Warner's promotional activities for Zhou Yi in order to continue to cooperate with Zhou Yi.

"Look on the bright side, at least now you have been dubbed the little queen by the outside world."

"I don't care. I can't bear to see you being so leisurely. I feel unbalanced."

After tossing the towel, Sun Yanzi held his chin with one hand, glanced at the music score in his hand, and said in a lazy tone: "But I don't see that you are quite talented in writing English songs, song thinking." There is no sense of inconsistency with the change of perspective."

As the mainstream language with the widest audience in the world, the audience for English songs determines that the world's superstars basically rely on English songs to dominate the world.

It is not that there are no people writing English songs in China, but because their thinking and perspective are different from Westerners, it is difficult to write songs as brilliant and smooth as Chinese songs.

Even her teacher Li Sisong found it difficult to grasp the context of English songs so accurately, but Zhou Yi was able to switch seamlessly, which really amazed her.

"This is about whether I can make dollars, so of course I have to be careful."

Zhou Yi smiled and snapped his fingers: "As long as Jackie Chan's movie can open up channels and make his reputation known, the subsequent US dollars will come rolling in."

His purpose in copying this English song was very simple: to become famous and make money.

As a Chinese, no matter how unfavorable he is, he will never be able to reach the heights of Jackie Chan at the Oscars, because all the songs he copied are from Western songs.

Moreover, the current song types in the Western music scene are already in full bloom, and there is no way for him to enjoy the benefits of copying a new category.

This also determines that his songs that will become popular around the world in the future are destined to be Westernized, have no Chinese connotation, and cannot export any Chinese culture.

Therefore, Zhou Yi's small goal other than making money is very realistic - being able to attract foreign fans through his English album to actively understand his Chinese album and learn Chinese is a victory.

Just like when Li Ming was so popular that many Japanese and Korean sisters were willing to learn Chinese and even marry in Xiangjiang for him.

"When do you plan to record this song?"

"The sooner the better, I have my own album to work on later. You want to take a rest anyway, why not just stay and help me record songs? It's just a good time to rest."

Zhou Yi, who could clearly see the tired look on Sun Yanzi's face, thought for a while and opened his mouth to invite.

Hearing this, Sun Yanzi was obviously moved, but there was still some hesitation in his tone: "But I still have to go back to promote..."

"A week's rest will not delay things, it will be enough for you to regain your strength. You still have to split the money earned from the album with Warner, but Warner will not help you relieve your pain if your body breaks down."

Zhou Yi curled his lips: "Chen Zeshan attaches too much importance to marketing. He is almost obsessed with this thing. He doesn't understand that excessive marketing will arouse the public's disgust."

If Sun Yanzi hadn't resisted Chen Zeshan's high-pressure publicity bombardment in 2003 and announced her temporary retirement from the entertainment industry for a year, her reputation after her comeback might not have been as good as it was.

But even so, Chen Zeshan finally gave up in 2007, which made Sun Yanzi break up with him and quit the entertainment industry for the second time. He stopped releasing songs and did not make a comeback until 2011.

"If you're embarrassed, I asked Qian Jiang to write a note to Chen Zeshan for you."

Seeing Sun Yanzi's hesitant look, Zhou Yi took out his cell phone from his pocket and was about to call Qian Jiang——

Seeing this, Sun Yanzi hurriedly jumped up from the sofa, rushed in front of Zhou Yi, and covered his hands with both hands.

"?"

"I will do it myself."

Because of her condescending posture, she could easily see the looming muscle lines under Zhou Yi's loose pajamas. The warm touch between his palms made Sun Yanzi blink, and then he showed a big smile: "I should tell him this kind of thing myself. He is my agent after all."

ps: The next update will be around 11 o'clock.

The update time has fluctuated a bit in the past two days, purely because some people asked for leave in advance, and my workload increased...

Feel sorry.

It's a pity that I used it on the day it was put on the shelves during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, alas.

I wish I could fast forward on the spot to October 6th when I have a holiday.
