The Hong Kong media, which has always been the first echelon of chasing hot spots, took the lead in concocting a lot of news that was not there, such as "Purple Microstar Shines in the United States!" The Emperor is on San Francisco! pompous headlines filled every corner of newsstands;

In the Taiwanese entertainment industry, discussions about Zhou Yi are also endless, and Wu Zongxian is even more looking at his losing account, full of jealousy and envy for Zhou Jianhui.

It would be nice if Zhou Yi was also his person, so that he would not negotiate with Haoledi because he was on the verge of bankruptcy, and package and sell all the company's property, including Jay Chou, to Haoledi Group.

He is really short of money now, and Jay Chou's commercial value is still too low in his opinion, and the return on funds that can bring him is still not as direct as that of Hao Ledi directly to a large amount.

And it wasn't until the transaction was completed that he knew that he was sold to Haoledi Group together with Alpha Chou, and at this moment he really suffered the first betrayal of his career-

Betrayal from Bole.

Jay Chow, who once said in a public interview that he was "willing to stand with Brother Xian forever" and "without Wu Zongxian, there would be no Jay Chou", was very depressed.

At the same time, this is also the first time he has seen the cruelty and true magic of capital, and he also knows that it will not work to make music by himself.

The mainland entertainment industry is a scene of singing and dancing, only Zang Tianshuo looked at the policeman who knocked on his door, his face was like ashes.

"It seems that Zhou Yi really persuaded Zhou Jianhui, this kid had such a tough personality before, I'm really afraid that he will have a hot brain."

Because he had a good impression of Zhou Yi during the rehearsal of the show, and someone in CCTV couldn't find Zhou Yi at that time, he could only ask her to help as an intermediary, and the person who had a long talk with Zhou Yi had a big impression of this child.

People in the United States don't know that these things are happening in China, and Zhou Yi is still treating himself as a donkey-

December 31, the last day of 2001.

As Zhou Yi's truly well-known song in North America, the sales of "The lazy song" in the United States officially exceeded 750,000 copies, and the Billboard ranking successfully squeezed out Britney Spears and jumped to 29th, exceeding the scheduled goal of Warner Records;

On January 7, the total sales volume was reported at 870,000 copies, and the Billboard ranking reached 13th.

On January 16, 2002, 950,000 copies were sold, just one step away from the platinum single!

Also on this day, Zhou Yi defeated the True Destiny Girl Group head-on and stepped into the tenth, becoming the first Chinese singer in Billboard history to break into the top ten of the singles chart!

On this day, the whole United States was shaken!!

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! I can't believe my eyes! What do I see?! A Chinese defeated Britney and defeated the True Destiny.

"Who will be the next person to be defeated by him? Kylie Minogue? Shakira? Still is...... Alicia Keys?! ”

"Jackie Chan dominated the North American box office last year with Rush Hour 2, and Spike Zhou did a miracle with the song he wrote for Rush Hour 2!

"This talented singer who claims to have never auditioned has made Billboard history, and will also make history as a Chinese singer - he is about to have a platinum single with 1 million platinum certifications that no Chinese singer has ever had before!"

Yi Zhou once released a song called "Yellow Race" in his country, which was interpreted by many as having a metaphor.

"But I don't think that's the case now, and the lyrics of "Yellow People" I think are announcing his arrival to the world music scene.

"He's declaring to the whole world that he hasn't played for the last 5,000 years, and now, he's coming. He showed up with his unparalleled abilities! ”

A Chinese singer broke into the holy land of American pop music for the first time, but he smashed the holy land to the ground.

If it weren't for Alicia Keys, who ranked No. 2 on the singles chart, and House of Life, which ranked No. 1, would not have been able to keep the last pants of the American music scene in 2001.

After all, the first two are real newcomer debuts. Compared with Zhou Yi, who debuted in China, he can be regarded as an old cucumber with green paint, and a newcomer in hard decoration.

He is in the same situation as him on the list, Colombian singer Shakira ranked fourth, and Australian singer Kylie Minogue, ranked seventh, both of whom came to the American music scene after becoming a teenager.

On January 18, when "The lazy song" officially opened the threshold of 1 million copies sold in the U.S. domestic market, Zhou Jianhui, the new president of Warner Greater China, personally presided over the celebration of Zhou Yi's platinum record at the Warner Records headquarters in the United States.

"You said the wrong thing on "The Conan Show", signing you is the most correct decision I have made in my life, there is no one."

In front of the overwhelming camera, Zhou Jianhui handed over the ice pick in his hand to Zhou Yi along with the platinum single certification certificate, and smiled: "I wish you this year's album can also sweep the American market, Ah Yi." ”

"If you don't say it, I thought it was 2001."

After the high-spirited Zhou Yi chiseled open the digital ice sculpture, he raised the certificate and trophy in his hand in front of the camera-

"The first person in the history of Chinese music! English singles sold millions and conquered the American music scene! 》

"Zhou Jianhui Zhou Yi, how did Warner Biweekly practice! 》

Sword to the World! Warner Headquarters Celebration announced the upcoming launch of the global distribution plan of Zhouyi's singles! 》

《……》

The domestic media, which has been paying attention to the movements in the United States, have almost worked overtime to produce the first batch of freshly baked news, and the "Asia Weekly", which interviewed Zhou Yi before going abroad, has waited until now to release the title and part of the content of its cover interview with Zhou Yi -

"Climbing to the Top of Tianwang Road: Son of the Times, Zhou Yi"

As his American counterpart said, Zhou Yi clearly expressed his ambition in the song "Yellow Race": his soul waited 5,000 years before it officially appeared at the turn of the century.

"He is an angel and a devil.

"Some people say that he is more self-confident than confident, and some people love him so much that they can't help themselves.

"In the face of the controversy on his body, Zhou Yi has never had any struggle, and calmly accepts all the good and bad ......"

On January 20th, on the day of Zhou Yi's return to China, "Asia Weekly" stepped on the point to release it, welcoming the return of the king!

Warner (China) posted a heroic post and celebrated the occasion!

"Fuck, you kid is fucking awesome!"

Jiang Wen, who was holding a cigar, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth after receiving the invitation: "When will the Italian story you told before be filmed?" I don't think Warner's script framework based on your intentions is not very good, and it is not very suitable for your current status, brother. ”
