Chapter 41 The eldest and the second are fighting, and the third is gone

"Don't say it, this really makes me feel like that, it's not unreasonable for "Next Magazine" to be a big hit."

Zhou Yi, who was stunned, casually threw the weekly magazine in hand on the coffee table in the rest room, twisted his body into the sofa and chuckled: "However, if I'm not mistaken, it seems to be famous for being a paparazzi on the side of Xiangjiang, right?" ”

"That's true, but your results are too dazzling. Now, whether on the Internet or in reality, the discussion about you has not stopped, and they will naturally not let go of the hot spots.

"To be honest, I originally thought that Sun Yanzi was already popular enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more popular than her."

The slightly heavyweight body sat on the fabric sofa, and Qian Jiang, who was still holding the itinerary in his hand, sighed: "You make me feel as if I am not bringing a newcomer, but a king." ”

Is there any newcomer who can make his debut and catch a group of kings and queens?

"What's the way this week?"

Treasure Island Rolling Stone Record Building, Conference Room.

Duan Zhongtan, the head of Rolling Stone Records, made all the documents and materials he got public, and sitting on both sides of the conference table was the famous existence in Rolling Stone Records-

Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng.

Two figures who can be called the godfathers of the Chinese music scene have joined forces to create the glorious era of the Rolling Stone music dynasty, and the Rolling Stones at their peak have been defeated by several major international record giants stationed in China under the escort of the two of them.

However, at this moment, these two godfathers of music are helpless against a young man from the mainland.

"The students that Zhou Jianhui recruited from the mainland are still in college, and they have just finished their junior year, Peking University."

Li Zongsheng lifted the frame on the bridge of his nose, looked at the series of data on the report, and his words were full of admiration: "It's incredible that a young man who is only nineteen years old has opened up a new path for the music scene and excavated a new direction of music style by himself." ”

Album: "Zhou Yi".

Lyrics: Zhou Yi.

Composer: Zhou Yi.

Arranger: Zhou Yi.

Singing: Zhou Yi.

The album has a total of eleven songs, all of which are written by Zhou Yi.

Maybe in the eyes of others, there may be suspicion of fraud, but in front of a person of Li Zongsheng's level, whether it is true or false is just a matter of asking a few times.

The circle is so big, if this kind of cross-era song was written by someone else and bought by Warner to Zhou Yi, it must be impossible to sit still.

"Now is not the time to praise him, Zongsheng. You know, he's a threat to us now. ”

Duan Zhongtan had a headache, and immediately turned his head and looked at Luo Dayou on the left: "What do you think?" ”

"We can't stop it, this kid named Zhou Yi has already gained momentum."

Luo Dayou, who was speaking with a broken voice, shook his head, threw the documents in his hand on the conference table in front of him casually, and raised his eyes to look at the man who was sitting diagonally opposite him-

"King Killer" Zhou Huajian.

"Hua Jian's "Ghost Lost Heart" and Ruoyin's "Love You Very Much" were beaten and had no power to fight back, and now "Later" may not be able to stay on this first place for how long."

Luo Dayou sighed with emotion.

He has insisted on Chinese music for half his life, and now he has mixed feelings in his heart, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

Because the song of "Later" was bought from RB.

This also means that the reason why "Later" can still sit firmly in the first place now and is not taken down by Zhou Yi is purely a bit of a bully.

You have a combination of China and Japan, and Zhou Yike wrote all of them by himself, purely self-produced and sold.

"I've listened to his albums and the songs in them have blown me away. It even made me feel a little lost, confused that the song could still be sung like this, and the elemental melody could still be so integrated.

"Old Duan, give up, if we fight this album, we will lose more than we lose."

As a veteran of Rolling Stone, Zhou Huajian, who can sit in this private meeting, is naturally qualified to express his opinions.

“…… I still want to try. ”

As the head of the house, Duan Zhongtan is obviously still a little unwilling.

After the restructuring of Rolling Stone in the past two years, some new investments have failed one after another, coupled with the arrival of the financial crisis, the number of layoffs in the entire company is close to 50%.

If it weren't for the kings and queens of the company who were enough to support the field, Rolling Stone would not have gone bankrupt directly.

Liu Ruoyin's album Duan Zhongtan regarded it as a golden work that could make Rolling Stone completely turn over, and he couldn't swallow this breath when he watched a child overtake him.

"There's no need."

At the critical moment, Li Zongsheng frowned and stopped: "Warner's side hasn't played any off-the-crow tricks until now, so we don't need to do this."

"Besides, Zhou Yi is only nineteen years old, he is still very young, and his psychological endurance is not those old fritters in the eighties and nineties, do you want to ruin him?

"He's a genius, and his success means there's a new market for the music scene to work on, and you can't do that."

To be able to make the rolling stone to the point of half the country, the bottom line of Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou is a factor that cannot be ignored.

"Yes, besides, "Later" has occupied the first-mover advantage for most of the year, and it will not necessarily lose in the end." Zhou Huajian, who was happy, was relieved: "And we can also use this wind to market, right?" ”

In the case that these brothers are all serious musicians, the head of Rolling Stone, who had a crooked mind, was persuaded to go back after all.

On July 16th, the rolling stones, who were unwilling to be ridden to the top of their heads by a newcomer, also started to engage in marketing at full speed, and at the same time, they also very cleverly strengthened Liu Ruoyin is the queen who was sitting on the throne waiting to be challenged, and secretly raised Liu Ruoyin's hand.

The artists of the Rolling Stone Department also stood up and shouted for the company's first sister.

Facts have proved that the rolling stones that really had half the power of the country in the past are powerful enough. In just two days, many people who don't pay attention to the division of disputes in the music world know about this -

There is a rookie singer named Zhou Yi who passed all the way, and after cutting down the four heavenly kings, he came to Liu Ruoyin, ready to charge her throne.

Many people who only listen to songs, buy pirated versions, and don't pay attention to the so-called coffee position, the first thought that pops up in their minds after seeing this news is-

Liu Ruoyin is so awesome?

None of the four heavenly kings are opponents?

Wasn't she all crushed to death before?

Why is this newcomer named Zhou Yi so awesome?

“……”

And when there were comparisons of sales, on-demand rates, and even various lists in newspapers, this group of pirated people, who were already the audience of songs, suddenly became interested.

Most people like to join in the fun, and the bigger the fun, the more they like to join in.

In this offensive and defensive battle that affected the entire Chinese music scene, many people who bought a lot of pirated melons will be a little reluctant to go, and under the hint of Rolling Stone, they feel that because they bought pirated copies, their favorite singers will be picked off by a hairy boy.

How can this be done?

What are you kidding, how old were you Zhou Yi when our Liu Ruoyin was working hard in the music world?

And at this time, Liu Ruoyin's diva who has worked hard in the music industry for so many years finally came in handy-

The vast number of pirate users is basically located here, and even a small number of conversions are enough to stimulate the growth of "Later".

In this way, relying on the momentum, it should have been with other families to survive in the case of Zhou Yi's domineering slaughter, and Rolling Stone Records miraculously completed the coffee lifting operation for Liu Ruoyin.

Not only that, after the operation of Rolling Stone's momentum, the piggyback hand also officially put Zhou Yi on the table of the only competitor, eliminating the possibility of being taken advantage of by other competitors.

This makes several other record companies that are really struggling to survive look stupid, especially Polygram Records, which only has Zhang Xueyou, the trump card, left.

No, how can you Liu Ruo climb on the head of my singer?

Just rely on the song "Later"?

Compared to my peak snow friend, there is also "Kiss Goodbye"!

However, after suffering the loss of the year of release, Polygram can only have bitterness and can't say it.

To be reasonable, in the new album released by Jacky Cheung at the end of 99, "She Came to Listen to My Concert" is definitely a classic.

But I met "Later" before, and then met "Happy Worship", which is the only one in the entire Chinese music scene and currently has no meal replacement, and now I can only maintain face in Xiangjiang.

And what is more urgent than Polygram is Emperor Entertainment, which is still full of confidence in early July-

No, what about our family Xie Tingfeng?!

Rolling Stone, Warner, are you two teaming up to commit fraud?!

Our family Xie Tingfeng's "Love Because of Love" is also a classic-level golden song, and the sales volume is currently also at the 160,000 level, and the ranking is also within the top ten, why not play with it?

Xie Tingfeng's agent Huo Wenxi tried to muddy the waters and pushed Xie Tingfeng to the table, but only a few people took care of it.

Even Xie Tingfeng relied on his high popularity to rush "Love Because of Love" to the third position.

After all, when the eldest and second start to fight, not many people will pay attention to the ranking behind these two.

On July 19th, "Later", which took the lead in the war, once again opened the distance from "Happy Worship" and sat firmly in the first place with the return of pirated users converted from the high popularity of this period of time and the additional purchases of new and old users.

On July 20, Warner, who had learned the same way, also hyped up this so-called "battle between the old and new kings of the Chinese music scene".

Lifting coffee for Liu Ruoying is regarded as paying tribute to Zhou Yi for helping Zhou Yi carry coffee, and at the same time, he has successfully labeled Zhou Yi as a "strong man".

Similarly, many young people who bought pirated copies of "Zhou Yi" were also ignited in their dreams-

At this moment, Zhou Yi was like an incarnation in their hearts, and it was they who followed Zhou Yi to launch this charge towards the older generation who had the right to speak.

Is this still supported?

I already saw that my bald boss (teacher) who likes Liu Ruoyin is not pleasing to the eye!

Young people never give in!

Isn't it just a CD, and it won't be good to buy a genuine one, buy it!

Those who can afford CDs buy CDs, those who can afford tapes buy tapes, how much more than they can do!

As a result, under this completely hyped "throne" battle, the data of both sides officially began to soar -

On the 22nd, Liu Ruo miraculously rejuvenated due to the album sales data, and even with "Later", the tide rose.

It's a pity that before Rolling Stone was happy for long, "Zhou Yi", which was catching up, caught up again, and the data of "Happy Worship" also rose rapidly, throwing off the third place "Love Because of Love" boss.

On the 26th, "Happy Worship" officially completed the overtaking of "Later" in the statistics of Baodao Popular Records, Rose Records, Baodao Popular Radio, Taipei Music Radio and other channels, and officially topped the top!

The genuine sales of the "Zhou Yi" album directly broke through the 280,000 mark and went straight to 300,000!

In contrast, the popular king Xie Tingfeng was directly eaten up a large part of the market, and the album sales only exceeded 220,000, and the title song "Love Because of Love" was still below "Later" and "Happy Worship" on the major charts.

It's just that at this time, except for Xie Tingfeng's own fans, no one will pay attention to his songs and albums anymore.

People are obviously more interested in the back-and-forth between the rankings of "Happy Worship" and "Later", and they can't wait to move a small bench to watch the two singers fight in the ring.

Here, Liu Ruoying is running publicity, and Zhou Yi is holding a signing meeting, and the two companies that have completely failed to recruit outside the market have begun to fight hard.

On July 28, 2000, the first position of "Happy Worship" was not secured for two days, and "Later" regained its first place;

The next day, "Later", which hadn't even arrived for 24 hours and hadn't even sat hot on his ass, was kicked down by "Happy Worship" again.

Zhou Yi felt that his hands were about to write, and his signature was smoking.

Liu Ruoyin felt that publicity was so tiring for the first time in so many years.

Why is this newcomer so fierce?!

She's a veteran diva!

On July 30, "Later" regained the first throne again, and the tired Rolling Stone boss even wanted to start brushing, but fortunately, Li Zongsheng, Luo Dayou and others stopped him;

On July 31, the stalker "Adoration of Happiness" once again overturned the small bench of the rolling stone and swaggered to put on the crown.

The first and second fights, Rolling Stone gained a wave of new popularity, the album returned a large amount of money, and Liu Ruo's exposure rose again;

Zhou Yi stepped directly on the steps handed over by the rolling stones, relying on the music battle with Liu Ruoyin who took off the hat of "newcomer who just debuted" on his head because of the music battle that began in mid-July, and his popularity quickly rose to the front line of the music scene.

Defy?

If you don't accept it, you will also try to fight with "Later"?

Throughout July, the only one who was injured was Xie Tingfeng, who ranked third, because since mid-July, the attention of the new focus he just posted has dropped rapidly, and the heat has been absorbed by the first and second of the two people fighting on his head......

"Love Because of Love" fell to the sixth.

Yang Shoucheng of Emperor Entertainment, who was angry, almost didn't take out a knife and went to Warner Zhou Jianhui to compare with Rolling Stone Duan Zhongtan.

Fuck two old bastards who don't talk about martial arts and play yin here.

This huge so-called "music war", to say that these two did not pass the gas in private, he did not believe it.

On August 1,

On the day when the list was set at the beginning of the month, "Happy Worship" still suppressed "Later" and continued to maintain the first place to the top.

At the same time, Warner officially announced the news that the sales of Zhou Yi's eponymous album "Zhou Yi" exceeded the 300,000 mark.

A newcomer in the music industry entered the 300,000 club in one fell swoop, and it took a month to become Warner's highest-grossing singer this year.

In this regard, Zhou Yi's mood was painful and happy.

The pain is because he is really tired, and the treasure island has to turn up and run to publicize it, which is really treating the artist as a cow and horse;

As for happiness, it is naturally the joy of counting money.

Moreover, the most important point is that his album does not need to be divided into lyrics and music copyright fees to others, and he can swallow them all by himself!
