Chapter 160: A song that makes a middle-aged man pay for me
"Arrogance!"
When the program preview of BTV5 Finance Channel was released, the first to feel unhappy was not Wang Leehom's fans who had just become popular in the mainland, but Xie Tingfeng's fans who fell in love with Zhou Yi's fans.
As the only existence that can compare with Zhou Yibi's total album sales last year, even if the results of "Jiangnan" are indeed good enough to explode, but now it is only September, and Xie Tingfeng's Chinese album has not yet been released.
Of course, for the disdain of Xie Tingfeng's fans, Zhou Yi's fans scoffed -
"There are only 3 months left until 2002, and I hope you don't cry when you lose the sales statistics."
Although Sony Music, which first started marketing Leehom Wang, didn't hold back any good farts in their hearts from the beginning, they really didn't expect Zhou Yi to dare to say this.
What if, aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face?
Warner is really depraved, and actually let Zhou Yi be so willful. Disgrace! It's a shame on the record company world!
"The traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, such as modesty and single-mindedness, are really not touched. It's no wonder that normal people who can have scandals with so many female celebrities and female models will have kidney deficiency sooner or later. ”
Some new Wang Leehom fans who are extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Yi's scandal also know that they will definitely not be able to beat Zhou Yi in terms of sales, and they can only criticize Zhou Yi's "inappropriate person" with the high-quality image of an idol.
After all, unlike Zhou Yi, who has been full of controversial news since his debut, Leehom Wang's high-quality idol character can be said to be standing tall, from the end of 95 years to the present.
is also from a prestigious school, Wang Leehom also has an extra layer of Chinese-American golden body.
"The devil knows how many times Leehom Wang has been in love in the United States before, and the prince, the prince is a fart!
"And Xie Tingfeng fans, don't come to scold, the controversy on your family is no less than Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi at least has a good temper and doesn't use his hands or smash the guitar.
"A female star has a scandal with him and falls in love, that is Zhou Yi's ability, and he has never heard of a talented man!"
Imperial capital, Haidian, on the workstation of a company.
Taking advantage of the fact that the supervisor was not frantically fishing, Zhang Yan's ten fingers were quickly tapping on the keyboard, and he was communicating with him warmly in Tianya's post.
She just worked after graduating from college when she was full of energy, and the ID of "Favorite Yi Di" gradually became famous in Tianya.
"Seeing that your registration information is also a woman, why do you still like Zhou Yi's flowery carrot? Can a star like Zhou Yi still be popular in the past? It's really the Beat Generation! ”
"I just love his songs, what does he care about in real life. Besides, now that it's the 21st century, it's time for you to look at things from the perspective of development.
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, do you have exact photos of Zhou Yi with those female stars?
"I'm afraid you don't know to tell you, Zhou Yi sued a lot of rumor-mongering media, and made a great contribution to purifying the environment of the entertainment industry......"
The keyboard's key travel snap crackled.
Zhang Yan, who is powerful in combat power, was still in the wind with one spray and two sprays in the last second, and was shocked in the next second, and quickly switched back to the working state with the skill of seeing six ways and listening to all directions-
Here comes the director.
Zhang Yan, who saw the person, immediately straightened her waist, and from time to time she pretended to push the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and occasionally brushed the ends of her short hair that fell to her ears, looking like she was working hard.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that the supervisor with thinning hair came straight to her workstation-
"Xiaoyan."
"Huh? Ah, Director Feng? ”
"The program team of "Super Interview" notified the company to send someone to the recording site as an audience." The middle-aged male supervisor with thinning hair handed her a document: "You are responsible for determining the list of personnel, and I will hand it over to me when it is confirmed." ”
"Oh, okay."
Zhang Yan, who took the document, looked happy, and then nodded immediately.
As one of the advertisers of BTV5 financial channel, sending people to be viewers of variety shows broadcast by BTV5 is also one of their company's benefits.
Since the official announcement of "Super Interview" Zhou Yi, she has been looking forward to this opportunity, but the only pity is that Zhou Yi can't cook on the stage this time.
Zhang Yan, who was happy in his heart, was just about to fill in his information, but when he raised his eyes, he noticed the tape cover in the pocket of the supervisor's suit-
Zhou Yi, who was dressed in white and white pants and white sneakers, sat on the lawn, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the wind behind him rolled up the yellowed fallen leaves. Between the staggered contrasts, the juvenile feeling that came to Zhang Yan made Zhang Yan look at it once and be amazed once.
Strange, how could the supervisor buy Zhou Yi's tapes? Didn't he think Zhou Yi's songs were so-so, so he could listen to "Jiangnan"?
As a die-hard fan of Zhou Yi, Zhang Yan naturally recognized that this was Zhou Yi's new "Graduation" EP cover, and she bought a few copies.
I wanted to ask, but considering that she and the supervisor were not familiar to that point, Zhang Yan chose to give up and started working.
And the supervisor with thinning hair returned to his office and inserted the tape that Zhou Yixin bought into the portable tape drive-
Pressed the button with ease, skipped the three songs "Stubborn", "The Wind Rises" and "Those Years", and accurately hit "Goodbye", which was extremely in line with his taste.
Accompanied by a memorable drum beat, this chic and lyrical pop-rock song sounded in the small office -
"I'm afraid I won't have a chance to say goodbye to you
"Because maybe, I'll never see you again
"Tomorrow I'm leaving, familiar places and you
"If you want to separate, my tears will fall~"
Zhou Yi's highly recognizable voice sang the emotion of parting, and the supervisor, who was nearly fifty years old, put his right hand on his growing beer belly, and lit a cigarette melancholy.
"Damn, isn't Yi able to sing this week."
The man who was completely indifferent to the so-called R&B and Hiphop style in Zhou Yi's previous album recalled the past and cursed in his mouth.
If he hadn't heard this song in the video store next door to the car repair shop, he might still have no feelings for Zhou Yi.
On September 7th, the same scene played out in different places.
Different from the main audience of the past two albums, this time Zhou Yi's "Graduation" EP rarely won the votes of middle-aged men who have become the mainstay of society, and a song "Goodbye" successfully helped Zhou Yi expand his territory in the middle-aged market.
Especially those middle-aged rich uncles who have stepped into management positions and begun to step into their memories.
"Lao Li, help me keep two sets of Zhou Yi's "Goodbye".
"Lao Zhao, is there a CD for the song "Goodbye"? Not a single? Are there three other songs? It's okay, just buy one get three free. ”
"Old Kong ......"
With Warner's ample stocking, the "Graduation" EP did not become a scalper carnival in some places this time as it did when "Gangnam" first went on sale.
In just two days, the "Graduation" EP dominated the sales list with a sweep as soon as it was released, relying on Zhou Yi's high popularity, allowing the mainland music scene, which had just been impacted by "The One", to see the gold content of the word "Zhou Yi".
On September 3rd, after feedback from various channels, Warner directly announced the first-day sales of "Graduation" -
"153,000 on the first day in the mainland, 67,000 on the first day in Taiwan, and 67,000 on the first day in Hong Kong...... Eighty-eight?! ”
Qian Jiang's eyes were about to pop out when he saw this number.
This is an EP.
Also, what is the EP sales in Hong Kong? It's so useful to have a fight with Chow Yun-fat?!
"Ah Yi, I don't think you should consider thinking about finding a way to go to Taiwan for a press conference?"
The recording scene of "Super Access".
After two days of rehearsals, Zhou Yi, who will start the official recording today, couldn't help but glance at his agent strangely: "Didn't you persuade me before that there was no need to hold a press conference to scold Chow Yun-fat." ”
"Chow Yun-fat is a fart! How much money can he sell his records? ”
Qian Jiang unswervingly cut his past self and said excitedly: "Do you know that if you add EP, your total album sales this year have officially exceeded the 2.3 million mark?" ”
At a time when the record industry is being impacted to the point where everyone is in danger, Zhou Yi's behavior of bucking the trend can no longer be said to be a cash cow, and he is as high as Warner's reincarnated parents and the God of Wealth of pirates.
Originally, Warner was going to buy back some albums for Zhou Yi in July, August and September next year, and inject a little bit of water into the total sales, but fortunately, after the one-year life cycle of the album, it can blow the three million genuine sales in Asia.
But now it seems that this trend is still a fart water!
There are 700,000 sales left, except for the genuine sales that will increase over time, and the remaining volume, no matter how much it is pirated, as long as the signing will run to vomit, it can be pulled up no matter what.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiang's eyes when he looked at Zhou Yi gradually became "dangerous".
Zhou Yi frowned, and vaguely smelled something wrong: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
ps: Just ask you if you are in the yang world or not!
There is one more chapter before ten o'clock, continue to the yang world!
