Chapter 201: The Last Glory

"If she hears this, I'm afraid she'll be very sad."

Zhou Yi, who didn't drink alcohol, simply took a sip of boiled water, and teased Zhou Jianhui's rare true feelings: "She has always respected you." ”

If it weren't for Zhou Jianhui's Bole kindness here, how could Stefanie Sun on the original timeline release seven albums in three years, and also piggyback on two rounds of concerts.

If he hadn't appeared, after Zhou Jianhui was forced to leave Warner due to infighting in 05, Stefanie Sun would also leave Warner in 06 and join EMI at the invitation of former agent Chen Zeshan.

After that, it is the biggest embodiment of the difference in the influence of Zhou Jianhui and Chen Zeshan on Stefanie Sun-

In the absence of Zhou Jianhui's incense, Chen Zeshan angered Sun Yanzi because of the bottomless hype of the "Backlight" album, causing her to not release records for four years in a fit of anger, and her life was consumed until the contract expired, and Chen Zeshan had nothing to do about it.

"Not really, I think she will nod her head when she hears me praise you like this."

Zhou Jianhui, who put down the wine glass, raised his head slightly, looked at the magnificent ceiling in the living room of the box, raised his hand and said firmly: "As a Singaporean, she knows better than anyone what a great achievement it is for a Chinese singer to sing English songs and go abroad."

"For China, and even for Chinese singers, English songs are not only about singing skills, but also whether the song itself can hit the dessert range in the hearts of foreign listeners is the most important thing.

"If the singing skills are good enough to sell well, Jacky Cheung's English album sales will not be Waterloo."

Zhou Yi, who heard this, was stunned: "Jacky Cheung's English album? ”

It's not that he is lonely and unheard, it's really that he hasn't heard of the English songs in Jacky Cheung's English album in his previous life, and the memory in his head doesn't have this piece.

"Yes, it's normal that you don't know, I guess Qian Jiang didn't take that album seriously, so he didn't tell you."

Zhou Jianhui, who was particularly happy tonight, also happily talked about Jacky Cheung's failure last year: "After Polygram was acquired by Universal, Jacky Cheung did not stay in Universal for long, and soon went to Shanghua Records.

"In December last year, I also released an English album called "Touch Of Love". Shanghua said that the sales volume has exceeded 600,000 so far, and the total sales volume can exceed 700,000 during the one-year sales period, but in fact, they are just slapping their swollen faces and becoming fat. ”

Zhou Jianhui, who said this, was somewhat face-stricken: "Aside from the fact that the audience is basically Chinese, Shanghua itself has also repurchased a lot of records to sell them." ”

That's why he's so happy tonight.

Jacky Cheung, a top singer whose singing skills are so good that he has nothing to say, sells English songs like this, which is enough to explain the difficult situation of Chinese singers in the Asian music scene and even the world music market.

"Jacky Cheung's singing skills, even if he gets to Europe and the United States, he is not bad, what is he bad at? It's an English song that can make him popular.

"Some musicians in the European and American music scene will not give the best songs even if they receive money, and even some people will be perfunctory and give a piece of garbage."

And the explosion of Zhou Yi's "The lazy song" can be said to perfectly circumvent this point: when it comes to singers of this level, they are still the most popular in the creative type, and if others don't give good songs, they will write them themselves.

Considering Zhou Yi's long-standing style, coupled with the song Lazy Song, Zhou Jianhui has no doubt that he has the ability to produce an entire English album.

The only thing he worries about is Zhou Yi's unwronged temper, and if something happens to him at that time, it will probably cause a lot of controversy for him.

After all, Zhou Yi's previous recklessness in front of the media was very European and American hiphop singers, and Eminem, who is very famous in the United States, also wears his face every day.

Oh, no.

Compared with him, Zhou Yi should be classified as civilized, harmonious, humble and friendly.

After all, he didn't swear when he scolded Chow Yun-fat, "Stubborn" is still a very inspirational and positive song, and now the radio can still be heard on the campuses of the two sides of the strait from time to time, and it is about to become the second, third, and fourth school songs for primary and secondary school students.

Coco Li's experience is friendlier than Zhang Xue's, but it's not much better, so she invited many big names in the music world to participate in this album this year.

"Jay Chou's creative team was invited by Coco Li: Fang Wenshan who wrote the lyrics, Jay Chou who composed the music, and Lin Mike who arranged the music ......"

is different from Zhou Yi, who became an army alone, with the explosion of the "Fantesi" album, Fang Wenshan and Lin Mike can be regarded as officially establishing their core position in Jay Chou's team.

Coco Li, who has mixed abroad, knows the importance of arrangement, and when he invited Jay Chou, he directly fished the three of them together and made the song "Sword and Horse".

And, just today, Coco Li's team officially released this new song to promote the charts, paving the way for the new album "Promise" released on October 22.

"Sony also specially held a new song press conference for Coco Li today, and also invited Jay Chou to sing the song "Sword and Horse" with her, because he was determined not to change the schedule."

When it comes to Yanzi Sun's biggest opponent this month, Zhou Jianhui, who sees Coco Li as a stepping stone for Yanzi Sun's ascension to the throne of the queen of heaven, is obviously not taken lightly.

He never despised Coco Li, on the contrary, he still admired Coco Li.

And with his understanding of Coco Li, if she hadn't had absolute confidence in "Dao Ma Dan", she would never have released it with such fanfare at the new song press conference.

Listening to Zhou Jianhui's various predictions after drinking, Zhou Yi couldn't help but nod secretly.

From the perspective of a latecomer like him, the quality of "Dao Ma Dan" is definitely hard enough, whether it is from the perspective of ranking or popularity, this song is the last peak of Coco Li.

The next day, when Taipei's major entertainment newspapers were reporting on the press conference of Coco Li's new song on the 12th of Baodao, when the jumping and jumping Jay Chou and Coco Li interacted intimately on stage, the song "Dao Ma Dan" also relied on the superimposed horror popularity, and ranked seventh on the weekly list of airborne radio stations on the hit day-

In front of "Dao Ma Dan" is precisely the song composed and arranged by Zhou Yi and sung by Sun Yanzi: "Your Smile".

This rhythmic pop rock song has become popular all the way after many days of fermentation, and it has been killing people all over the place with its high reputation and popularity.

The bright row of Zhou Yi reminded many fans of other Taiwanese singers that the weekly charts of major radio stations were bombarded by Zhou Yi himself a few months ago.

""Your Smile" doesn't know if it can do "Dao Ma Dan", ......"

Even if it was Zhou Yi, he didn't dare to pack a ticket for a while when he looked at the relevant information at hand. It's just that when his eyes were still on Coco Li, there were two old singers who returned to the music scene but caught him off guard-

On October 14, Jacky Cheung of Shanghua Records released the album song "If This Is Not Love" on September 26, after a long time of grinding the charts, he re-established his dignity as a singer in the nineties of the last century, and entered the top ten in one fell swoop;

On October 16, Zhou Huajian of Rolling Stone Records released a solo album "Forget the Worry Grass", and the title song "Is There a Song That Will Make You Think of Me" also joined the battlefield with the lyrics of true feelings-

This man, who was known as the "King Killer" in the past, does not seem to have admitted defeat, and after walking into the new century with his head held high, he faced the new generation of singers led by Zhou Yi and regained his true colors as a killer.

On October 16, top diva Faye Wong released her self-titled album "Faye Wong", which also landed on the charts with great popularity.

At this moment, the three singers who have experienced the confusion at the end of the century are blooming with the afterglow of their own times, and Yu Chengqing, who also represents the older generation of singers, and the new generation of musicians on the charts Zhou Yi, Jay Chou, Sun Yanzi, Wang Leehom, Dai Penny, SHE are in close proximity, and they are bound to defend their last glory!
