"Super Interview", in the early millennium at this time period, is one of the few entertainment programs that can wrestle with CCTV talk programs.

The first broadcast was in February 2000, and after more than a year of accumulation and precipitation, "Super Interview" not only succeeded, but also successfully became popular with the two hosts of the show - Li Jing and Dai Jun.

Many big names in the music industry will appear on this show during the promotion period.

Thanks to his excellent performance in participating in "Happy Camp", after Zhou Yi returned to the mainland, the "Super Interview" program team handed him an invitation as soon as possible.

"The male host of this show, Dai Jun, I don't know if you have heard his songs, he used to be a smash hit singer, but after he became a host, he rejuvenated his career for the second spring."

On the phone, the busy Qian Jiang introduced the whole story of this invitation: "And He Jiong of "Happy Camp" has a good relationship with him, and your performance in the base camp last time left a deep impression on mainland entertainment variety shows.

It is rumored that when preparing to make a guest selection for the special program, Dai Jun privately asked He Jiong how are you, and He Jiong gave Ling a very high evaluation, saying that the outside world is perverse and domineering and other things are rumors.

"The "Super Interview" program team included you in the category of guest candidates, and after comprehensive consideration, an invitation was issued to you.

"If you agree, they'll make a special for you. Of course, the premise is that you have to cooperate with them to dig up some of the past that has not been exposed in front of the media camera, some of the stories behind the scenes of your entry into the music scene, and maybe even interview people close to you......"

As an entertainment-oriented talk show, if there is no topic about the guest's past, some interesting things that can be brought out and said, and even the VCR of friends who lose each other, it is absolutely embarrassing to come out to meet people.

"Super Interview" is now so popular thanks to this refreshing model for mainland audiences.

After all, who wouldn't want to eat the melons of big stars.

"That's fine, how do I cooperate?"

"My idea is to let some of the on-location film crew members of "Super Interview" come over to shoot some of your content at the MV recording site, including some tidbits, so that it will also be convenient for you to promote the album "Gangnam" and "Graduation" and EP at that time;

"Then there are the usual publicity methods, such as asking the program team to get some photos of you when you were a child, previous singing videos, and even interviews with your former classmates, etc......"

Qian Jiang said all his thoughts in one breath like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

More than two months have passed since the release of Zhou Yi's second album "Jiangnan", and at the moment when "Jiangnan" has successfully dominated the market, the sales growth trend of genuine albums has naturally been affected by piracy on the street.

Thanks to Zhou Yi's previous outstanding performance on "Happy Camp" and the big stir in Hong Kong, the sales of "Jiangnan" have rebounded. With this rare graduation EP, I can put some shooting tidbits and the like, and I can still pull the heat a little more.

Of course, as the twin stars with the biggest gimmick, the interview with Stefanie Sun will never run.

"Interview me? Really? ”

In the lounge, Stefanie Sun, who has not appeared on a variety show in the mainland so far, heard this, and immediately expressed eagerness: "Can I say anything?" ”

"If you're not afraid of being cut with a knife, I don't care."

"Tsk."

Sun Yanzi pursed her lips, crossed her fingers behind her head with her hands and ten fingers, and fell straight down on the wide sofa: "Oh yes, Mr. Zhou just planned to find you."

"But you were on the phone with Qian Jiang at the time, so I told him, and he asked you to go to him after the call."

"Looking for me?"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, then put down the score in his hand and left his lounge, and went to knock on Zhou Jianhui's office door-

"Tuk-tuk."

"Come in."

Zhou Jianhui, who was still sitting on the chair reviewing the documents, raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and when he saw that it was Zhou Yi who came in, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "The movement in Hong Kong is not small, the White Dragon King is praising you." ”

Zhou Yi blinked, looking innocent: "Mr. Zhou, you know me, I was completely forced." ”

The whole Warner who did not know that he Zhou Yiren was notoriously elegant and easy-going.

"Okay, don't get cheap and sell well in front of me."

Zhou Jianhui happily took out a document from the desk drawer and handed it to him: "Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour 2" performed very well at the box office in the first week of North America, and the rise is very gratifying.

Among them, your episode "Lazy Song" has also attracted some people's attention, and Jackie Chan will also mention you when asked questions about this song during the promotion.

"We didn't release the soundtrack for this film, but that's okay, there's already someone at Warner Music headquarters who sees the potential of the song, and I've gotten you a dollar to get the hype and the charts.

"Your graduation EP was released at the end of August, and this English single is currently scheduled to be released on September 6th, is there a problem?"

Zhou Yi, who was flipping through the documents, could also see how much it would cost to test the waters in the North American market and even in the European market.

Warner is still Warner in the end, and it is often hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there are many channels.

That's the dollar in 2001.

If it weren't for Zhou Jianhui's efforts and the strength shown by his two albums and the superposition of Jackie Chan's new movie as a popular tripartite advantage, it is still unknown how much Warner can give.

"The hip-hop rap elements you brought in China are not uncommon in the North American music scene, so although some people at the headquarters think that your new song can be tried, the initial investment is really not too much."

Zhou Jianhui, who thought that Zhou Yi was dissatisfied with the amount of publicity invested, explained: "The main reason is that there is an absolute emperor superstar in the hip-hop rap field in the United States, and the gap between your Chinese hip-hop rap and his style is too big, so many people in the headquarters are not very optimistic about your new song that is not very close to hip-hop."

"But don't worry, once the results are gratifying, then I will definitely fight for additional publicity funds for you."

"The superstar of American hip-hop?"

"Yes, I don't know if you've heard his name, Eminem."

When talking about this name, Zhou Jianhui was inevitably a little staggered: "His new album last year sold more than 1.7 million copies in the first week, and now it seems to say that it has sold more than 20 million or 30 million copies worldwide." ”

“……”

That's fine.

Zhou Yi, who hadn't reacted for a while, suddenly lost his doubts after hearing this name, after all, Eminem, who was at his peak at the beginning of the millennium, was also a big hanger.

That's where English songs come in.

With the exception of the English song market, which is almost equal to the domestic market, Eminem's "riffraff" rap is extremely popular around the world, and it can be said that it single-handedly carried the banner of hip-hop against other music genres during the beginning of the century.

"Don't have too much pressure, if your single can sell two or three hundred thousand copies, it is already a great achievement, and it can already be regarded as entering the European and American markets."

Zhou Jianhui, who was afraid that Zhou Yi would have a psychological gap, hurriedly added: "Your main battlefield is still in China."

"The company's forecast is that in Asia, your album + EP combined, after a one-year settlement cycle, it is estimated that it will sell about 3 million to 4 million."

Zhou Yi, who didn't have any gain and loss mentality, smiled: "I know, don't worry." If you can earn dollars, you can earn it, and if you can't make it, it's not a loss of my money anyway. ”

Zhou Jianhui: "......"

While it makes sense, why does it sound so weird?

"Oh yes, there's one more thing."

After suppressing the distractions in his mind, Zhou Jianhui asked: "Regarding Yanzi's new album, can you help her write a song similar to "Green Light"?"

"'Green Light' helped Yanzi open up her popularity across the Taiwan Strait and three places at the same time, and I think it's best to have a similar song with a strong sense of rhythm to start with her new album."

Zhou Jianhui, who is also interested in Stefanie Sun's album, said of his ideas: "Your choral song "Summer Blown by the Wind" is sweet enough, and putting it on the album will also help her retain her versatility. ”

"No problem, I'll think about it."

Zhou Yi responded in one bite.

Stefanie Sun's rhythmic fast songs are not simple, not to mention the songs in other people's albums, just the songs in her own future albums, whether it is the exotic "Magic" or the pop-rock "Day One" are all good choices.

Not to mention, Stefanie Sun's voice sings in such a completely different style.

However, considering the degree of singing and adaptability, Zhou Yi still had another song in his mind that is also very suitable for Stefanie Sun-

Fei'er Orchestra: "Your Smile".

It's also an emotionally sweet song, but it's expressed in pop rock. In his impression, Stefanie Sun herself also sang a paragraph, which is very good.

After leaving Zhou Jianhui's office, Zhou Yi, who was pondering the song, turned the corner and saw a more familiar face appear in the company's aisle, the latter was first startled when he saw him, and then immediately lowered his posture to greet him-

"Hello Zhou Yi, my name is Wang Feng."
