Chapter 55 Zhou Yi, there is no cap on your budget
"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi! May I ask you, are you the album producer of Sun Yanzi, Xiao Yaxuan, and Zhang Shaohan? ! ”
"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi, can you please share the progress of your new album? ”
"Zhou Yi, a few days ago, a rookie singer named Jay Chou also made waves in the music scene. So far, he is second only to you in popularity this year, what do you think of him......
"Zhou Yi ......"
Zhou Yi, who was invited to participate in an event, was finally "stopped" in front of the interview board, if he hadn't hid quickly, those enthusiastic microphones would have almost stabbed him in the face-
With the assistance of Warner staff, Zhou Yi, who had adjusted the order of the interview, was interviewed with a large number of microphones in his hand that he didn't know who was who-
"First of all, I'm not the album maker for Yanzi. They're my friends, and I just helped them write two songs, which isn't news.
"Secondly, my new album is indeed in the works, and I will not disappoint my fans and friends when the time comes.
"Finally, Jay Lun and I have actually known each other privately, I have a good relationship with him, and it seems normal for him to be able to sell his new album."
At the end of November, Zhou Yi, who was wearing a burgundy tweed coat, showed his slender figure in major media shots, and a beige turtleneck sweater was a perfect match for warmth and fashion.
Facing the camera, when mentioning Jay Chou, Zhou Yi did not show any malice towards him as the media thought, but generously sent his blessings.
As a new discovery in the Treasure Island music scene in November, Jay Chou, who was born out of nowhere, directly used the two songs Xingqing and Tornado to set off a wave in the Treasure Island music scene that no one could predict except Zhou Yi.
Tornado directly squeezed into the top 30 of the quarterly list with its high popularity.
You must know that this is the end of the year, and all the gods in the music world have already finished fighting and stood firm, and Jay Chou can still kill a bloody road, this menacing posture will inevitably make the media associate him with Zhou Yi.
After all, Zhou Yi was also born in this way in July, and then pressed the gods of all parties to rub all the way to the top.
There are even media outlets that don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and after discovering that Jay Chou's album sales are selling so well, they shouted the slogan "We want to support Jay Chou, a local singer on Treasure Island".
Some media are looking forward to Jay Chou being able to replicate the myth created by Zhou Yi, and even overtook Zhou Yi on the rankings and completed corner overtaking at the end of the millennium.
Jay Chou, who was angry, called Zhou Yi directly after seeing the news, saying that this was not what he or the company meant, it was those media who were talking nonsense.
Wu Zongxian's alpha is not a big company after all, and his ability to control public opinion is definitely not as good as Warner. So much so that although Zhou Yi repeatedly said that he was fine, Jay Chou was still choked by the rumor-mongering media outside.
"This sales ramp-up rate ...... If it weren't for you, the hottest male singer in the Baodao music scene this year would probably be this Jay Chou. ”
In Zhou Yi's "company dormitory", holding the analysis data handed over by the Warner Marketing Department, Qian Jiang, an agent with a general's belly, couldn't help but be speechless.
It's kind of scary.
What's going on in the Treasure Island music scene this year?
The fierce men are one after another, if this is divided according to the stage description in the history books, this is a sign of the chaos in the world.
"It's no wonder that the local media on Baodao will praise Jay Chou so much, you were too strong before, and they were very aggrieved.
"This suddenly appeared a male singer who can also be regarded as a sideshow, and it is inevitable that he will turn that depression into support for him, looking forward to using Jay Chou to suppress you."
Qian Jiang, who has been running around on both sides of the strait all year round, rubbed his chin with a little stubble, and he figured out the reason why the group of media did this, and his face couldn't help but show a touch of sarcasm.
"It's impossible for Jay Chou to suppress me now, it's just wishful thinking on the part of the Taiwan media."
For the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Zhou Yi didn't take it to heart.
Don't look at the data analysis, it looks fierce, but in fact, he is still a lot ahead of Jay Chou, not to mention that Jay Chou's album is just a fire within the treasure island.
Jay Chou really became a national trend after 05 years, and before that, he was just a little king.
Before 05, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell out the tickets for concerts held in the mainland before, and I also cooperated with my partner Mobile, and I gave a ticket if I charged 300 or 400 phone bills.
Zhou Yi followed his cousin to see Jay Chou's concert for the first time in his last life, and the ticket was given by his family to charge the phone bill.
"Whether it's wishful thinking or not, it's not without your interest to make such a fuss out there. Your popularity has rebounded, and at the same time, the company's senior management has also given great creative freedom under Zhou Jianhui's decision. ”
Qian Jiang, who talked about the profits, suddenly smiled like a Maitreya Buddha: "According to what I heard, because of the success of your first album, Warner has valued your second album more than Sun Yanzi."
"Even, Zhou Jianhui is very likely to win the right to an unlimited budget for the production of the album for you."
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "No upper limit? Really? How come I've never heard of it? ”
"It's said that there is no upper limit, but in fact it is just a shorthand for a lot of money. No matter how much you spend, you can't spend hundreds of millions of yuan to smash an album. ”
Qian Jiang, who is accustomed to the exaggerated description of the Xiangjiang music scene and has not changed, slapped his head and explained this concept of no upper limit: "I think you should have heard the news that those Xiangjiang superstars in the past spent millions and tens of millions to create an album, right?" ”
"Then didn't I travel everywhere in the name of making music videos?"
"Theoretically, yes, public funds are reimbursed for eating and drinking, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule of the industry. If you want to find inspiration, tell me where you want to go first, and I'll buy you a plane ticket. ”
Speaking of this, Qian Jiang opened the notepad again, and the tip of the pen was on an agenda: "The news from Wu Zongxian's side, the special episode about you has been fully produced, and it will be broadcast in two parts."
"If you are not in a hurry to go home and prepare for New Year's Day, you can first see how the response to the show is after the broadcast on Treasure Island.
"In addition, Rolling Stone is going to hold a celebration party for Liu Ruoyin, and we have also received an invitation, do you want to go?"
Zhou Yi, who heard the words, nodded suddenly: "Go, why don't you go." Someone came to cheer us up before, and I still understand the reason that everyone carried the sedan chair. ”
Qian Jiang was about to nod when he heard the mobile phone ringing in Zhou Yi's pocket-
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives."
Seeing Zhou Yile, whose note was "Zhou Jianhui", pressed the answer button: "Hey? Mr. Zhou? ”
"Zhou Yi, your budget for the production of your new album is currently tentatively set at 2 million yuan, and if necessary, you can increase it further."
After speaking, Zhou Jianhui on the other end of the phone paused in his tone, and then added: "There is no cap." ”
………………………………………………
"What do you say? Really? ”
"Of course it's true, I can't lie to you. Anyway, thank you this time, and I will invite you to dinner next time. ”
Baodao, Fan Bingbin, who came in a hurry after filming the TV series in the mainland, hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lying on the bed in the hotel with a large character on his back, Fan Bingbin raised his hand to look at his friend's phone number on the mobile phone screen, his expression was extremely solemn.
This was her last chance.
If it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll really have to bow down to those people in order to get good resources to act.
Damn it!
As soon as he thought of this, Fan Bingbin felt angry in his heart.
is also out of the pearl, and the other two are so red that she can't get anything, except for playing a maid or a maid in a big production.
To be honest, she doesn't know if she can win a new attention by playing the MV heroine, but this is the last straw she can fight for independently.
In this era, it is still an option to rely on MVs to open up popularity.
