Chapter Seventy-Three: Do You Want to Listen to a Sketch or Jiangnan?
Seeing that Zhou Yi turned his pen and fell into contemplation without saying a word, thinking that he was inspired, Qian Jiang suddenly shut up. The sturdy body sat on the sofa in the office and writhed, not even daring to make a movement, for fear of cutting off his inspiration.
After being an agent for so many years, he is very aware of the habit of singer-songwriters who may find inspiration to write songs anytime and anywhere.
It's really completely unreasonable to write a song when this kind of genius inspiration comes.
It wasn't until Zhou Yi felt that the surroundings seemed to be a little too quiet, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Qian Jiang's whole person shrank directly on the sofa, and his sitting seemed to be a little stiff.
"What are you doing?"
"Ahem, isn't that afraid of running away from your inspiration? How's that, do you have an idea? Qian Jiang clenched his fist to his lips with one hand, coughed and asked with a little expectation.
"Ah, the theme of the album has a general framework, and it should be busy after the year."
After determining the framework, it was basically equivalent to filling in the song Zhou Yi, who picked up the coffee that had been placed on the coffee table before, opened his mouth and took a sip: "What about you?" Haven't Rush Hour 2 been taken down yet? β
"How can it be so easy, Jackie Chan's movie has just begun to be filmed, and the competition for the soundtrack behind the scenes is fierce. Do you know who your competitors are in this soundtrack? β
"Who?"
"At the moment in Asia, your biggest competitor is Hikaru Utada in Japan next door."
Zhou Yi, who heard this name, was happy: "My chances of winning against her shouldn't be too big, right?" β
It's not that he's arrogant, it's true that Hikaru Utada is too buggy.
If Japan wants the entire text copying stream, then Hikaru Utada is definitely the standard template for the protagonist of the text copying stream.
At the age of 15, his debut single sold 2 million, and his debut album sold nearly 10 million a year, and soon after, he and Ayumi Hamasaki started a light-step war that was enough to go down in the history of Japanese pop music.
In terms of fame and album sales, he is definitely no match in front of Hikaru Utada at present.
Especially album sales.
If you want to sell an album in the Chinese-speaking area with sales of nearly 10 million, it is tantamount to a fantasy, and the piracy market teaches you how to be a person in minutes.
Ren Xianqi's heart was too soft back then, and it was rumored that more than 20 million copies were sold, but in fact it was only an estimated pirated sales, and the real genuine sales were more than 3 million copies according to Rolling Stone's own statistics.
This is still the number of genuine sales that have been extended to about a year and a half and nearly two years.
"That's true in theory, but don't forget that you have Coca-Cola behind you. The reason why singers want to sign endorsements, in addition to having money to get, the sponsors themselves can also help singers.
"Why have I been talking to you about Coca-Cola and Pepsi? It is because they have various collaborations in the field of music, have been influential for many years, and can help with public relations together. β
"It looks like Hikaru Utada's endorsement is not Coca-Cola."
Zhou Yi stretched his waist and stood up from the sofa: "Okay, then let's do this first, and then talk about the soundtrack when you talk about it."
"It's almost the New Year, don't be tired. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, my basic plate is in the country after all. β
January 23 is Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has been out for half a year, and he is indeed homesick.
"Okay, don't worry. Two days before the ticket, I bought it for you when you had dinner with Jackie Chan, Huo Wenxi, and Xie Tingfeng, and I will send you directly to the airport later. β
Zhou Yi made an OK gesture to him, then left Warner, returned to the hotel escorted by the driver and assistant, and began to pack his things.
Zhou Yi, who had a backpack when he came, but an extra suitcase when he left, met an acquaintance who was also waiting for a plane at the airport.
"Zhou Yi?"
Fan Bingbin, who was still reading the script, raised his eyes and happened to see Zhou Yi who had walked into the VIP area and had not yet entered the VIP room.
"Yo, yes, I'm going to get a new play? It's not the same when you change brokers. At a glance, he saw the thick stack of paper on Fan Bingbin's hand, and Zhou Yi, who didn't look at it again after just looking at it, laughed and teased.
"I haven't even skimmed the eight characters yet, so I can familiarize myself with the role first to ensure that I can win the audition after the year." Although Fan Bingbin, who talked about this matter, was a little embarrassed on his face, the joy between his eyebrows and eyes was not concealed after all.
Compared with the experience of the water dispenser administrator sitting on the bench under Qiong Yao's hands, this feeling of having work is really a long time lost for her.
Chen Shufen is still the kind of well-connected existence, and she doesn't need to make too many twists and turns.
"So, are you interested in taking some time to perform my MV after the New Year?" Hearing that Fan Bingbin was about to go to acting in earnest after the New Year, Zhou Yi, who was interested, immediately sent out an invitation.
Coincidentally, no, it just so happened that he was also thinking about the songs of the new album.
"Really?"
Fan Bingbin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he patted his chest wrapped in a down jacket and promised boldly: "Okay, no problem, then I'll wait for Zhou Yi's call." β
Although she has already received the play, she has not forgotten who dragged her out of the fire without asking for anything in return.
It's hard to find this kind of man with a lantern right now.
That is, Zhou Yi's status is too high for her now, otherwise she will try to chase after her high and low.
However, if it is really popular in the future, Fan Bingbin wants to try it, after all, after all, after becoming popular, he will not be suspected by Zhou Yi of being upside down for fame and fortune.
If there is no fire, it will be a dream that I dreamed of when I was young.
"Which flight are you on, Zhou Yi?"
The conversation box was opened, and Fan Bingbin's bold temperament, who did not have the depressing atmosphere in the past, was gradually exposed, and he inquired about the flight with a big grin.
"At half past two, I went to Nanchang Changbei Airport. What about you? β
Zhou Yi snorted angrily in the direction of the screen.
In Raozhou Sanqingshan Airport has not yet been built, even if he wants to go home for the New Year, he has to honestly take a plane back to the provincial capital first, and then drive the car arranged by the company back to his hometown.
It's time-consuming.
"I flew directly to Qingdao, there is a direct one."
Fan Bingbin explained his hometown.
During the waiting time, the bored Zhou Yi simply chatted with Fan Bingbin, interspersed with a few jokes from time to time, which made the latter laugh.
Qingdao.
Chen Hao, who was helping his parents roll noodles at home, sneezed coldly.
January 23, Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zhou Yi, who had traveled a long distance, finally returned to his hometown in the company's car, and opened the door of his single-family villa in the countryside with the key-
"Mom, Dad, I'm back."
It's still the familiar front yard, and it's still the familiar flower beds with shallots and mint.
Zhao Ping, who has long been out of work pressure, and runs a small supermarket in the county with his wife on weekdays to make himself active, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen when he heard the sound.
The son, who hadn't seen him for half a year, was standing at the entrance of the front yard, looking like he had grown a little taller.
"Look at how tired you are, you've lost weight."
In the first sentence of the meeting, his mother Zhao Ping's complaint to Warner made Zhou Yi smile brightly.
Zhou Yaoguo, the father who has never been good at expressing his father's love, rarely opened a bottle of home-brewed medicinal wine on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, turned on the TV and played the Spring Festival Gala, and drank heartily.
Outside the house, there were children who couldn't help but set off fireworks and firecrackers in advance;
On the TV, Feng Gong, Guo Donglin, and Guo Yue's cross talk "Inch by Inch" amused the two elders.
The Spring Festival Gala in this era can still make the audience laugh from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhou Yi, who watched the Spring Festival Gala with his parents and chatted with some gossip while drinking, saw Guo Donglin's shiny bald head on the TV, and the smile on his face was also rich.
He seems to know what he should copy the first title track of his second album.
Do you understand the gold content of the God of War "Jiangnan" of the drainage canal?
It just so happens that Jiangxi also belongs to the ranks of Jiangnan, which is equivalent to a wanderer who is outside to help his hometown write songs. It's still a Chinese-style song, and the spread is directly full.
Because he was still planning to keep the New Year, when his parents couldn't stay up and went back to the bedroom to sleep first, Zhou Yi, who was playing the background music of the Spring Festival Gala, wrote down the second song he had just finalized in his notebook with a slightly drunken posture-
Album Title: "Jiangnan"
Gangnam
On the plum side
Dongfeng Breakββ
Zhou Yi, who wrote this, was suddenly stuck for a long time, subconsciously bit the pen, and then picked up the pen and wrote two other R&B Chinese-style songs:
West Chamber
Susan said.
Among these five songs, "Jiangnan" is responsible for spreading all over the streets and alleys, and "East Wind Breaking" is responsible for promoting and laying the foundation for Chinese style songs;
"In Meibian" and "Susan Says" are responsible for opening up the depth of Chinese style integration hiphop and R&B;
As for the "West Chamber" at the back of the string, because it is weaker than the above songs, it only needs to be responsible for the popularity of waving the flag and shouting, which is used to set off.
The five songs on side A have a clear division of labor, each performing its own duties, and perfectly outlines the theme of the second special "Jiangnan Chinese Style".
As for side B......
In addition to "Drifting to the North", Zhou Yi pondered for a while, and picked out a few popular and highly sung works from his memory-
Drift to the north
mermaid
It doesn't cost you anything
Love me or him
Back-to-back hugs
Big city, little love
Side A is responsible for interpreting the depth of the album's theme, and Side B is responsible for the popularity of the album's songs, perfect.
