China Entertainment 2000

"I'm almost embarrassed after reading this. Qian Jiang, please tell me honestly, how many of these media outlets bought press releases from the company?"

Imperial Capital, Warner Wheat Field, in the lounge.

Zhou Yi, who put down the newspaper in his hand, subconsciously stretched his fingers and threw the newspapers with the glorious photos of himself last night on the coffee table.

Qian Jiang, who was noncommittal, shook off his plump general belly and pressed the invitation contract in his hand temporarily: "I definitely bought it, but believe me, the company didn't buy a lot.

"The following are all spontaneous actions by the media to follow the trend, and the company cannot stop them. It's all about popularity.

"The most important thing is that now that you are the most popular singer in the mainland, many media are eagerly waiting to see if you can win something at the upcoming Baodao Golden Melody Awards."

As Zhou Yi's agent, Qian Jiang was obviously not dazzled by the current praise. Instead, he calmly analyzed the pros and cons for Zhou Yi.

Thanks to the strong public relations between Warner and Coca-Cola, Zhou Yi's solo album "The Book of Changes" last year was still not excluded. The official Golden Melody Awards stated that Warner's registration for the album "The Book of Changes" is valid.

Zhou Yi himself also received permission to go to Baodao to perform on the Golden Melody Awards stage.

"Based on your performance last year, it is certain that you will be nominated for the Golden Melody Award. The only question is how many will be shortlisted in the end.

"Also, there has always been a vague saying in the Golden Melody Awards that if you are popular, you will die. Your sales and popularity last year were too brilliant. If the judges of this year's Golden Melody Awards are not optimistic about you, no matter how much we do public relations, it will be useless."

Since Zhou Yi had already won the mainland pop music Grand Slam, just in case, Qian Jiang didn't say anything and gave him a vaccination in advance.

As an important witness of the Baodao music scene coming from behind, although the judges of the Baodao Golden Melody Awards so far have different preferences, they can at least be fair to a certain extent.

This is also the reason why the Golden Melody Award can currently surpass the top ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards and Jinge Golden Melody Awards in Hong Kong, and has become the vague leader in awards in the Chinese music industry.

Among them, Tao Zhe is a typical representative who will die in the heat.

As a representative figure who created the R\u0026amp;amp;B trend in the Chinese music scene, the hit album "I'm ok" that took off in the local market of Baodao was shortlisted for five awards, but in the end he only won the award for Best Album Producer. A prize.

Zhou Yi also went out to listen to the songs from the album that defeated Tao Zhe and won the trophy. It can only be said that the judges' tastes really have a great impact.

"It won't happen this year. The pressure from public opinion on me is too special. At the very least, they will definitely award me the Best Newcomer Award."

Regarding Qian Jiang's concerns, Zhou Yi was very open-minded.

This year's Golden Melody Awards, due to special reasons in Baodao, will force the judges of the Golden Melody Awards to take off their colored glasses towards the songs of mainland singers.

Naying's ability to defeat Faye Wong, Karen Mok, Zhang Huimei and Stefanie Sun to win the only golden song trophy for a mainland female singer so far is an example.

This was a real manifestation of hard power, and it was also the reason why Naying was able to act like a big sister all day long in the mainland music scene.

Due to the strict confidentiality, even Warner has no way to find out the relevant information in advance.

In fact, since the date of the Golden Melody Awards is approaching, since Zhou Yi won the Mainland Music Grand Slam, Baodao's entertainment media have been spontaneously reporting news about him.

The Golden Melody Awards officials are also very troubled by this.

If they don't do this well, they will lose the credibility of the award that they have finally built up.

March 29, 2001, is a day that attracts collective attention from the music circles and music fans in Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan.

Because on this day, the Golden Melody Awards officials finally announced the shortlist for the 12th Golden Melody Awards as usual.

Warner's people immediately compiled all the information on the company's two artists' shortlists and sent them to Zhou Jianhui's desk as quickly as possible——

"Stefanie Sun was nominated for three awards: Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Mandarin Female Singer and Best Newcomer..."

Zhou Yi, who returned to the Warner (Baodao) office building after many days, sat in the general manager's office with Stefanie Sun, listening to the situation reports given by Chen Zeshan and Qian Jiang respectively.

"As for the Book of Changes..."

Stefanie Sun's face suddenly beamed with joy when she learned that she had been shortlisted for three awards when she was just starting out. But when she heard Qian Jiang's slightly hesitant voice, her heart suddenly tightened and she subconsciously turned to look at the silent man sitting next to her. man.

Zhou Yi, who had the fingers of his hands interlaced in front of his chin, raised his head slightly and tapped the back of his hands alternately, his face still as calm as a clear spring.

"Best Newcomer, Best Album Producer, Best Arranger, Best Composer, Best Lyricist, Best Pop Vocal Album... a total of six awards."

Qian Jiang, who was rarely nervous, swallowed his saliva and reported with some disbelief the awards that Zhouyi was shortlisted for——

"Book of Changes!"

Stefanie Sun, who was far happier than hearing that she had been shortlisted for three awards, jumped up on the spot, shook the man's calm shoulders with a bright smile, and said as if announcing loudly: "I knew it! I knew it!"

As the most eye-catching awards ceremony in the music industry this summer, after the shortlist of the Golden Melody Awards was announced, press releases from various companies were also released——

"The Strongest Duo in the Millennium Music World: Boy Zhou and Girl Sun!" 》

"The two were selected for 9 awards in total, the horror of Warner Twins! 》

"A fair and just Golden Melody Award?" Warner Bros. Weekly has been nominated for six awards, which is the highest number of nominees for this year’s Golden Melody Awards! 》

"Zhou Jianhui's discerning eye: Zhou Yi and Stefanie Sun are walking on the road to be the king of heaven and queen of heaven!" 》

"..."

Fans who learned that their idol was selected for the big list were also happy. Only Elva Hsiao, who did not sign up this year because of Yao Qian, was a little depressed.

Especially after seeing that Stefanie Sun, who was just starting out last year, was selected for three awards.

Under Warner's overwhelming marketing, a fan of Jay Chou discovered a blind spot -

"Wait a minute, why do I feel like the awards that my Jie Lun was selected for are all the same as Zhou Yi's?"

Because Jay Chou once publicly spoke for Zhou Yi on a TV show, his glory last year was not completely overshadowed by Zhou Yi. It is precisely because of this that when people looked through the complete shortlist, they were shocked to find that this young man named Zhou Jielun was only shortlisted for two items less than Zhou Yi - Best Arranger and Best Lyricist.

Of course, if you include Fang Wenshan, who was nominated for Best Lyricist instead of Jay Chou, then Jay Chou is only one less nominated for Best Arranger than Zhou Yi.

"This is impossible?! Why should he?! In terms of sales, singing skills, album production, and appearance, in what way does Jay Chou compare to Zhou Yi?!

"Jie Lun has to rely on Fang Wenshan, but my Zhou Yi relies entirely on himself!"

In Baodao's local market, some Zhouyi fans who learned about the incident in the newspaper for the first time expressed their confusion.

A considerable number of Fortnight fans, who were originally in good spirits a day ago, fell into an eerie silence immediately after the official shortlist of the Golden Melody Awards was announced.

Zhou Yi and Jay Chou met for the first time on the Golden Melody Award shortlist, which directly dealt a heavy blow to the harmonious atmosphere between fans of both parties!

Ps: I saw a lot of people asking about the issue of adding updates, so I’ll explain it in detail.

I need to travel for work reasons, which I also wrote in my acceptance speech.

Therefore, my personal holiday starts on the 6th, so my extra updates will start on October 6th ~

Ps: Because I have been on a vengeful business trip in the past few days, my update will be later than usual, so I will simply finish writing two chapters and post them together.
