Chapter 174: Dreaming Back to the Golden Age of Chinese Music
In order to maintain his position and market, Coco Li, who returned from traveling in Europe and the United States and found that his home was about to be stolen, released "True Lover You&Me" last year to announce his return to the Chinese-speaking market, but the sales did not meet expectations.
In order to increase her influence, she didn't think about finding Zhou Yi to invite songs.
But the "break" between Chen Zeshan and Jolin Tsai caused a stir, and Sony, who believed it was true, personally went to muddy the waters, trying to pull Zhou Yi into the water and step on it, forcing Chen Zeshan to say that Warner would never cooperate with Jolin Tsai.
As a big-name artist signed by Sony Music, it is somewhat fantastical for her to find Warner Prince Zhou Yi, who was almost pulled into the water, at the moment when the company had just offended Warner.
After all, Zhou Yi's personality controversy is here, which makes her and her team a little muttered, so she chose Jay Chou, a more low-key talent.
Therefore, she never expected that she would be able to show her face in the argument between the two.
When her team informed her of the incident, Coco Li couldn't laugh or cry: "We don't need to respond to this matter, just pretend not to know, the extreme fans on both sides are just arguing, and they can't make too much trouble." ”
To put it mildly, Jay Chou's number of fans and Zhou Yi's number of fans are not at the same level at all. Whenever there is a big trouble, Zhou Yi, who has a larger number of fans, is completely crushing Jay Chou.
"It looks like I haven't shown up in Taiwan for a long time, and it's really a little hurt."
Zhou Yi, who was picking his teeth on the tip of his tongue, pursed his lips and closed the page casually, not caring at all.
"Jay Chou's popularity was not low last year, and this year it seems to be adding to the fire. How's that for you to be a little worried? Sun Yanzi, who was nervous about seeing Zhou Yi very much, smiled and said.
"My opponent this year is F4, thank you."
"They're not singers."
Sun Yanzi pursed her lips: "It's all up to that drama." And now it is said that "Meteor Garden" has achieved extremely high ratings after it was broadcast in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and has caused a lot of discussion in the Philippines, Japan and even South Korea. ”
F4, which was suppressed in Hong Kong, now has a great tendency to go abroad, which is something that everyone didn't expect, Chai Zhiping, who was just thinking about playing three poles with dates and no dates, now takes F4 out every day to meet and sell albums.
As a Singaporean, she actually heard her family talk about this drama, and her sister watched it with relish, and asked her if she knew F4 before, and wanted to ask them for an autographed photo.
That's the scary thing.
The last Chinese drama that became popular in Singapore was called "Huanzhu Gege".
"There's really nothing you can do about this, you can compare it if you can compare it, and you can compare it if you can't compare it."
Zhou Yi looked very open.
Instead of worrying about "Meteor Garden", he might as well pay more attention to "Deep Love and Rain".
September 19th.
With the introduction of Qiong Yao's new drama, "Deep Love and Rain", which has been broadcast on CCTV 8 since September 3, directly made Gu Juji, as the starring actor, usher in a splashing wealth in the mainland.
The album "Deep Love", which contains the song "Think So Much", has been sold step by step in the mainland with the broadcast of the series, and Gu Juji's popularity and sales have exploded.
After more than ten days of climbing, Gu Juji, who has the bonus of TV dramas, also entered the top ten on the music list in the mainland, and the radio on-demand rate remained high, squeezing into the top five.
Even the two albums of the heroine Zhao Wei, "Deep Love and Rain" and "The Last Breakup", sold unimaginable sales, helping Xiaoyanzi to regain the throne of the king of public opinion from Zhang Ziyi in one fell swoop.
Gu Juji, who once lost to Zhou Yi in the Taiwanese music scene, returned to the battlefield with "Deep Love and Rain" introduced by the mainland, and competed with Zhou Yi on the same field.
Coupled with Liu Ruoying, Ren Xianqi, Liang Jingru, Wang Leehom, Zhou Chuanxiong, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Xie Tingfeng and others, in the face of the strong envelope of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, the Yuquan Combination, Pu Shu, Xu Wei, Wang Feng and others in the mainland were directly squeezed out of the rankings.
On the music billboard, only Han Hong and Zhou Yi are left in the top ten, two people from the mainland. Zhou Yi is the first, Han Hong is the tenth, one head and one tail;
On the song on-demand list of China Radio International's Jinqu Channel under CCTV, only Zhou Yi, a name from the mainland, is left in the top ten.
In terms of Baidu MP3 song search volume, Zhou Yi, who ranks first, is inseparable from Zhou Chuanxiong's "Dusk......
Throughout the second half of 2001, the Chinese music scene seemed to have been suddenly pressed the accelerator button after entering September, and Taiwanese singers broke out one after another. With the natural moat of Cantonese in Hong Kong, the mainland market, like the Taiwan market, has become a mess.
"In terms of male singers, the older generation of musicians led by Ren Xianqi, Yu Chengqing, Zhou Huajian, Zhang Yu and others are still shining, and the residual heat of the Four Heavenly Kings has not disappeared;
Tao Zhe, Zhou Jielun, Wang Leehom and others are sharp, and Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng are two popular kings.
In terms of female singers, there are Faye Wong, Lin Yilian, Zhang Huimei, Na Ying, Chen Huilin, Miriam Yang and other previous generation divas sitting in the center of the battlefield, and new forces in the music industry such as SHE, Twins, Penny Dai, and Zhang Shaohan have become popular in the market one after another;
"There are also Yanzi Sun and Xiao Yaxuan who are red through half the sky."
On September 20, 2001, the editor-in-chief of the latest issue of the mainland magazine "Contemporary Music Circle" personally went into battle and wrote an article entitled "The Golden Age of Chinese Music", which attracted a large number of readers.
And the cover of this issue of the magazine is a big close-up of Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng, the two popular kings, on both sides of the Chu River and Han Boundary.
"From Hong Kong Tan Zhang Zhengba to the Four Heavenly Kings, the Asian Whirlwind Lin Zhiying to the Heavenly King Killer Zhou Huajian, from the bitter love singer Zhang Yu to the heroic Ren Xianqi. This time, Zhou Yi made up for the regrets and shortcomings of the mainland music scene and became a leading figure in the Chinese music scene in the new century......"
A sincere and infectious article, combined with Zhou Yi's current sales of 2.3 million+, quickly caused a wave of large-scale discussions in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
"There is Xie Tingfeng in the Hong Kong music scene, Zhou Yi in the mainland music scene, who is the young generation in the Taiwan music scene? Wang? He's American, Penny Tai is Malaysian, and Stefanie Sun is Singaporean. ”
"I chose Jay Chou and debuted in the same year as Zhou Yi, and only Zhou Yi and Stefanie Sun can suppress him in the album market in Taiwan, and the second album is also a hot mess now."
"I don't agree, Jay Chou is hot, but the limitations are too great, I don't know what I'm singing without reading the lyrics. At least Zhou Yi's slow song can make me understand, I think it should be F4. ”
"Agreed, I also voted for F4 in Taiwan, and the album sold two months later than Zhou Yi, and now the sales are about to catch up, and I can understand the singing."
"I think it should be Tao Zhe."
"Tao Zhe is not from Hong Kong?"
“……”
And just as music lovers were ready to start their own examples, Sony Music announced its total F4 sales in Asia so far: 1.06 million copies.
Taiwanese fans who love fighting crickets shut up instantly.
"Dreaming back to the golden age of Chinese music! Zhou Yi, Xie Tingfeng, and F4 record sales all exceeded one million! 》
