In 1999, mainland singer Pu Shu released his first solo album - "I Go to 2000".

The word-of-mouth and sales of this album marked that the mainland music market has officially entered a period of rapid development, and young people are also eager to find new music that can be different from the previous generation and can satisfy themselves.

In 2000, although the mainland music market had begun to catch up and strive to run in the direction of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music market, there was a certain gap between the vitality and number of pop singers, the theme and style of the songs, and Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

This can be seen from the most popular songs in the mainland market.

Compared with all kinds of singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as of the end of June and early July this year, the most popular and popular song in the mainland is "The Road to Heaven is Wide and Wide".

Yes, that's right, it's the classic theme song of "Journey to the West Continuation": "The Avenue to Heaven is wide and wide".

As a classic continuation of the 86 version of Journey to the West, this "Journey to the West Continuation", which was broadcast on February 8, 2000, quickly completed the double dominance of ratings and music charts as soon as it was broadcast.

The classic sentence "I just caught a few demons, and I lowered a few demons, why is it so much" belongs to the top to ninety-nine, and down to just go can hum two sentences.

And under this song "The Avenue to Heaven is Wide and Wide", there is still a song from the theme of Journey to the West film and television - the theme song of "Journey to the West": "I want to become an immortal".

sung by singer Liu Huan, who has been vaguely moving in the direction of the Taidou level, also achieved good results.

Other than that, it's gone.

Sun Nan, the first male singer in the Mesozoic Generation, and Na Ying, the first female singer, have not released songs this year.

The songs on the major music charts, in addition to the female singer Chen Ming's "I want to find you" and Jin Haixin's "So Proud", the songs of the rock group No. 13 Baojia Street can be regarded as outstanding, but its commercial performance is not good, and it has officially disbanded in May.

The other songs on the chart cannot be said to be well-sung, or at least lackluster.

In this unbearable environment of Fila, Zhou Yi couldn't imagine how his songs would lose in the mainland.

Whether it is "It's Me" and "What I Love Is You" in 2000, or "Give Me Time for a Song" with a more catchy and advanced arrangement.

If you can't hang up this group of singers on the current mainland list and beat him together, he won't be surnamed Zhou.

As for Hong Kong and Taiwan, it doesn't matter, "Happy Worship" will take action.

On July 1, at seven o'clock in the morning, Warner Music officially released the news that its newcomer Zhou Yi's album began to be sold to the outside world, and its eponymous album "Zhou Yi" was released simultaneously in Baodao, the mainland, and Xiangjiang.

At the same time, a photo album specially taken by Zhou Yi's appearance was also launched-

According to the Warner Marketing Department, it's a pity not to take a photo if you look so handsome.

On the same day, Xie Tingfeng, the king of Xiangjiang Emperor Entertainment, also came with his new Chinese album "Understanding", and the title song of this album is: "Because of Love, So Love".

"How, do you have faith? This is a real dragon, so popular that he can fight against Ren Xianqi. ”

Warner Music, General Manager's Office.

Zhou Yi, who returned here again, saw Sun Yanzi after becoming popular, who was still the same as when he first met, and came up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you afraid of, it's over."

Zhou Yi, who turned his head and saw her, shook the photo album in his hand, and joked with a smile: "If you win the club, you will go to the sea to work." With my appearance and figure, I'm afraid that the third-level film producers will have to offer me a high price after watching it. ”

"Then you may have been born in the wrong era, the era of Xiangjiang tertiary films selling well has passed, and now you have to look at RB."

As he spoke, Sun Yanzi glanced the man up and down a few times, and then snatched the photo album in his hand and flipped through it, commenting matter-of-factly: "But your body and face are indeed much better than the male protagonists in the previous tertiary films." ”

"Sounds like you've studied a lot?" Zhou Yi, who put his hands on both sides of the back of the sofa, relaxed Erlang's legs, tilted his head slightly, watched the woman sit directly opposite him, and raised his eyebrows.

Sun Yanzi, who was flipping through the photo album in her hand, couldn't help but raise her eyes when she heard this, her eyes were facing each other, and her eyebrows were a little playful: "I'm 22 years old this year, ok?"

"Even if I haven't eaten pork, I haven't seen a pig run?

"Believe me, just like you boys will circulate tertiary films in private, there will also be tertiary films in the girls' dormitories, after all, the Xiangjiang tertiary films in the eighties and nineties are well-known even in Singapore."

can make salty and wet films into a hot-selling cultural product, and even squeeze the living space of similar competing products over there, I have to say that the output of Xiangjiang films in the late eighties and early nineties is indeed strong enough.

Facing Sun Yanzi, who was still generous and timid, who talked about this kind of topic, Zhou Yi, who was dumbfounded, reached out and took back his photo album from his hand: "If you haven't seen enough, I suggest you buy it in the market at your own expense and contribute a few genuine sales to me, thank you." ”

"What are you wasting that money for, aren't you just sitting here?"

Sun Yanzi, who has been busy since she became popular, has found the long-lost comfort in front of Zhou Yi at this moment, and the whole person fell into the sofa, smiled and raised her head: "Give me a striptease first, let me see something that fans outside can't see even if they spend money to buy photo albums." ”

"That's not going to work."

Zhou Yiyi, who was not worried about the sales of his album at all, sternly refused: "That's another price, you have to add money." ”

Sun Yanzi, who never expected such a sentence to pop out of a man's mouth, couldn't hold back at all, and bared her big teeth with joy: "Add money and money, I will definitely add money, I'll buy a dozen albums out of my own pocket first." ”

"What is enough for a dozen servings, a hundred thousand is about the same."

Zhou Yi waved his hand in disgust, with a look of disdain: "I sent you a dozen or so sales?" ”

"Then you go to Xiao Yaxuan, her family is rich."

"I found it, and she asked me to sell my hue." Zhou Yi lazily said about the few condolence calls he received as soon as he came to Treasure Island.

Compared with Xiao Yaxuan, a woman who doesn't know what she is thinking now, Zhang Shaohan, Jay Chou, Liu Genhong, and Wen Lan have each bought more than a dozen albums to show their support.

Especially Liu Genhong and Wen Lan.

Although these two are not big names, they are also well-known in the treasure island market, and their publicity cannot be said to be better than nothing.

As for Cheng Hao in the mainland, he is even more ruthless, Zhou Yi doesn't know how many tickets she wants to buy. can only say one more sentence so that she doesn't have to waste money, it's not necessary.

"Looks like you're in a good state of mind."

Seeing that the man didn't look like acting at all, Sun Yanzi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She deliberately ran out of the house during the break, just to comfort Zhou Yi, who might have fallen into an impatient mood at the beginning of the release of the new album.

She'd experienced it once before, and she knew what it was like.

In this regard, Zhou Yi only smiled.

July 2nd.

The general manager of Warner, who was sitting in the office, looked at the first-day album sales that he had in hand, which had been summarized by his subordinates, and reached out in disbelief to lift the frames of his glasses-

""Zhou Yi" sold 14,317 CDs on the first day? Tape sales 23,000?! Why are there so many?! ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, Yi Du hasn't started to run publicity this week, how did he make such a rebellious first sale on the first day of sale? !

It's so useful to stir up scandals?!

It's not like no one has stirred up scandals before, this ......

Zhou Jianhui's eyes widened and he looked at the document in hand, puzzled.

Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, dusted his nails, turned his head to look at Sun Yanzi, who also came over to pay attention to sales, and said with the corners of his mouth raised: "Isn't this normal?"

"Yanzi's popularity in June is a rare hot spot on Treasure Island in a few years, and Xiao Yaxuan's popularity is superimposed-

"In the last two weeks of June, more than 80% of the entertainment press was news about Yanzi and Xiao Yaxuan talking about me and my album.

"Coupled with Warner's PR, under this kind of saturated brainwashing marketing, there will always be people who buy my album out of curiosity, and it's normal to have this first-day sale."

In essence, this is the set of movies in the rice circle in later generations that brushed the box office on the first day.

It's just that he borrowed Sun Yanzi and Xiao Yaxuan's rice circle.

Use the popularity converted from them and their credibility among their respective fan groups to give themselves a buff to get started.

After all, one or two promotions are fine, and this two consecutive weeks of high-intensity saturation bombing, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like it's forced to open, and it will always arouse the curiosity of some fans.

Zhou Yi doesn't like to play anything, starting from the habitual sales of thousands of newcomers, if you want to play, you can play big.

As he said, if you win the clubhouse, you lose and you go to work in the sea.

"Double! Plus! Let's hurry up and step up! The original sales volume is definitely not enough, go up! Give me one more lift! ”

In the third year of Warner, Zhou Jianhui, who had to gamble everything on the two newcomers he had discovered, had no choice but to lose his usual calmness at this moment-

Because of his excitement, Zhou Jianhui's ears were a little red when he called his subordinates.

"Fuck, who said you can't win anything with a child! Lao Tzu won everything! ”

The last boulder pressed on his heart dissipated, thinking of the miscellaneous people who coveted his position in the past, Zhou Jianhui finally had the confidence to vent.

According to the Hong Kong and Taiwan algorithm, 50,000 actual sales are equal to a platinum record......

Fuck, Lao Tzu holds "Sun Yanzi" and "Zhou Yi", two records that go straight to double platinum, and even the record performance of promising triple platinum, who dares to force more?!

"Zhou Yi, rest assured and wait for the announcement, I'll go and arrange the charts for your songs first."

After Sun Yanzi, Zhou Yi became the existence of Zhou Jianhui to straighten his waist again, and he walked with the wind.
