Chapter 297: The top pressure monster in the Chinese music scene
Zhou Yi didn't know Zhou Jianhui's thoughts, because now he has not stopped the phone in his hand, and he has not had time to see Zhou Jianhui for the time being-
Since he landed and turned his mobile phone back on, Hexi's numbers and text messages came in one after another.
Classmates, teachers, friends, and even people who have crossed paths after the Spring Festival Gala, he is embarrassed to hang them all, after all, these are all sincere blessings.
At this moment, he can't wait for this group of people to use QQ, so that he can copy it with one click and send it to reply, saving trouble and - uh, no, QQ in 2002 doesn't seem to have this function.
Qian Jiang, who also didn't stop as soon as he turned on the phone, took a sip of his mouth that was slightly dry because of talking for a long time, got up with a cup to drink, and poured a glass of warm water for Zhou Yi.
"I thought that your return with honor this time would cause a big sensation, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big sensation, too many people want to know you."
Qian Jiang, who hung up the last phone call, looked at Zhou Yi, who was still replying to others with text messages, and his smiling eyes were about to narrow into a slit: "There are even people who represent the official, you have a big face this time, and the domestic mainstream media praise all of them." ”
"It's all virtual, it's better to give me some reality."
Returning to the familiar city and looking at the familiar scenery, Zhou Yi, who was in a good mood, put down his mobile phone, took a sip of saliva and joked: "Give me a tax reduction and rebate more than anything else." ”
"You can rest assured that an achievement of this level like yours now, even if you don't need us to speak, the relevant parties will also give you the green light all the way."
Qian Jiang also smiled, his strong buttocks moved, and he leaned on the corner of the table and was determined: "Do you guess that among the people who called me just now, are there any staff members from relevant departments?" ”
is a unique music superstar like Zhou Yi now, and the treatment he enjoys is naturally completely different from before.
"I'll help you with these trivial things, and you can rest assured that you can rehearse the concert in the next two days."
Qian Jiang, who has also established a lot of contacts on a trip abroad, suggested: "Also, the financial audit issues of countries around the world involved in your English album, my suggestion is that you had better hire a special team to be responsible for them separately."
"You can get some people from your own investment company, and you can get some connections from Peking University, so that the two can be cross-verified and rest assured."
The key is that Zhou Yi has not turned his back, and he has been burning money to "play" the Internet and the stock market, and he has not taken it too seriously.
According to Qianjiang's estimates, under Zhou Yi's dazzling results, the taxes he needs to pay this time will be settled in the final settlement after the official green light and subsidies, and the amount he will receive will be much more than the normal settlement.
"Also, this is the situation in the Chinese music scene since you left, you can learn about it."
After speaking, Qian Jiang also threw a document on his desk to Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, who opened it and was immediately happy.
There is one more acquaintance in my memory-
The Xin Band, which debuted with the band's album of the same name, rose rapidly in Taiwan and the mainland with "Love When Dead" and "One Night InBJ".
lost to Zhang Shaohan's new album "Youth Co., Ltd.", which lost to Zhang Shaohan at the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer, lasted for half a year and still did not enter the mainland market, so Huayan Records has found many creators to customize a new album "Brave New World" for them-
It will be released on August 5, and the publicity mode has already begun in full swing.
Liang Jingru's "Happy Breakup" quickly opened up the market after entering the mainland, and now it has basically spread all over the streets and alleys. The extremely high degree of singing has made her a young female singer in the mainland market second only to Xiao Yaxuan and Sun Yanzi, and has completely secured the position of the new first sister of Rolling Stone Records.
Eason Chan, who began to officially enter the Chinese song market, released a Chinese album in April, "Thank You" and "Your Backpack" fermented until now, which directly made him stand out in the mainland and won some popularity in non-Guangdong regions.
In the Cantonese-speaking region, Eason Chan also released his latest Cantonese album today. The Cantonese song "Next Year Today" in the album was released before the album as the main single, and as soon as it was released, it was indiscriminately killed in Guangdong and Hong Kong, surpassing all the songs in Zhou Yiying's album.
After Zheng Zhongji and Xie Tingfeng, the two generations of highly praised princes in the Hong Kong circle, fell under the same threshold one after another, the Hong Kong circle began to consciously praise this young singer with excellent singing skills, and the title of "successor of the god of songs" began to deliberately carry out tentative propaganda to see the feedback from the mass market.
Of course, the most heavyweight ones are Jay Chou and Tao Zhe, two recognized talents in the music world.
On July 18, Jay Chou officially released his third album "Octave Space".
Although the album was criticized by many people at the beginning of its release, the album did not improve and copied the successful model of the previous album "Fantesi", but this did not prevent the album from selling well.
However, compared with the previous two albums, Jay Chou has not produced many hit tracks in this album, and there are only three songs at present: "Peninsula Iron Box", "Back to the Past", and "Dragon Fist".
Among them, the song "Dragon Fist" is still well-known to young people because of the light of Pepsi Cola's advertisement, so many people say that Jiang Lang is exhausted.
Especially after the comparison of Zhou Yi, the "big Zhou" who has gone to the international scene to kill a mess and came back.
Tao Zhe, who announced that he would release a new album "Black Liuding" on August 9, has also started intensive publicity recently, but his problem will be a little more embarrassing than Jay Chou's-
As we all know, Li Zongsheng once said that "musicians like Tao Zhe can find 2,000 people in the United States", although this sentence is not meant to belittle Tao Zhe, but to express Tao Zhe's musical expression from another dimension belongs to a purer American R&B.
But after Zhou Yi achieved such dazzling results, Tao Zhe was asked by the media with a more embarrassing question-
Some remarks such as "Tao Zhe actually came back after not getting out of the American music scene", ""Love, It's Simple" started with English lyrics, was written in 93, and then refilled the Chinese lyrics and came back to explode" began to permeate the Internet with Tao Zhe's promotional activities.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he skillfully opened the trumpet and began to surf and eat melons-
The reason for the incident is very simple: that is, his fans shouted on the Internet and didn't notice any occasion, and the words were "Zhou Yi is the only true god in the Chinese music scene", which directly led to Tao Zhe, a music talent who worked in the American police department and did behind-the-scenes work, was affected.
has the same experience as him, as well as Wang Leehom, who got the qualification to eat at the table with "Descendants of the Dragon" and "The One".
"Leehom Wang is a pure American, and I heard his fans say that when he first came from the United States, he couldn't even speak Mandarin, and he wrote and spoke English.
"If that's the case, then why didn't he make his debut directly in the American music scene? Look at Zhou Yi, China grew up and exported to the United States! To make American money, Wang Leehom an American also crossed the ocean to earn Chinese money. ”
Leehom Wang: "......"
Wang Leehom, who was preparing for the recording of his next album "Incredible" at Sony, almost lost his blood pressure when he saw these comments-
Can I lie down with a gun?
Aren't you talking about Tao Zhe??
Tao Zhe and Wang Leehom, who were hit by the pain point, couldn't refute it for a while, after all, Zhou Yi is now powerful, and the results of real money are here, in the face of a group of media who follow the trend like flies, they can only laugh haha-
"I listened to Zhou Yi's British specialty, it's great, and I also sent a text message to congratulate him." Tao Zhe, who had to appear in front of various media because of the promotion of "Black Liuding", became a fake smile boy.
Then, under the questioning of the media, the smirk on his face was somewhat uncontrollable-
"Then, may I ask Tao Zhe, do you also have a plan to release an English album in the future?"
"Well, I think there will be this, and I do have this plan, but at the moment my focus is still on the upcoming new album "Black Liuding".
For Wang Leehom, the media's problems are even more fatal-
"Leehom, do you have confidence in your new album? Rumor has it that your new album will also be released in October, is this true? Are you going to fight Zhou Yi's new Chinese album "Lianshan"? ”
"Well, the release time of the album actually doesn't overlap too much with Zhou Yi, and my next album should be around mid-October next year.
"And it's not this kind of fighting relationship between us, I like Zhou Yi's music very much, and the communication between me and him started a long time ago in the global music charts."
Mainland, Shenzhen, Wahaha event site.
Holding a large number of microphones in his hand, Leehom Wang had a princely smile on his face, answering reporters' questions amid the screams of fans: "As for English albums, I do have this idea, and I personally did come up with it, but it mainly depends on the company's arrangement." ”
And Jay Chou, who is promoting his new album "Octave Space", has not escaped being questioned by media reporters - "I have called Ah Yi Dao to be happy." ”
was asked about his good brother's achievements, and the smile on Jay Chou's face was a little stronger: "For the English album, I do have a little idea, I can't let Ah Yi specialize in beauty." ”
Among the most high-profile talents in the music world, so far, only Jay Chou has so straightforwardly stated that he also has plans to release a British album.
The reporter who came to the spirit immediately asked: "Then how many songs have you created now?" ”
"Oh, that's not true, I'm still asking Ah Yi to recommend me a few reliable English teachers, I'll learn English first."
Jay Chou, who couldn't speak English, suddenly had a bright smile on his face: "You know, I didn't speak English well when I was in school. ”
Journalists: "......"
What the are you kidding?
Learn English?!
Check the results -! English scores are really bad.
The past experience of being a scumbag has become Jay Chou's best protective color at this moment, and Wang Leehom and Tao Zhe, who have been graduating from famous foreign schools, have been unlucky.
As if seeing the embarrassment of Wang Leehom and Tao Zhe, when Zhou Yi began to go to the concert venue and rehearsal, from the four kings of Hong Kong to the new generation of singers, everyone was greeted countless times about the English album plan-
The most embarrassing of these is the god of songs, Jacky Cheung.
He actually released an English album, but the real sales hit the street so much that he didn't see it, and even ignored the album with the publicity over the years, so he didn't release it.
Originally, no one took it seriously, but under the passive pressure of Zhou Yi, Jacky Cheung's old bottom was turned out by the media again......
"That's it?"
"Ahh
"Zhou Yi is the new god of songs!"
"Don't, what grade is the god of songs, can he be compared with Zhou Yi? It's simply called the Asian Song Saint, the god Bangli, the saint is much more advanced than the god. ”
Zhou Yi's fans, who were inflated to the extreme, attacked everywhere and directly gave Zhou Yi'an a hat of "Asian Song Saint".
Don't ask, ask is the double champion of our Zhou Yi B list songs and albums, what champion are you? How much does it sell?
What? International awards? That doesn't matter! Sales are king!
In the case of only one world sales award, Zhou Yi fans tacitly avoided the award.
Stefanie Sun, who was eating watermelon, was watching the fan ring battle at home, sitting cross-legged on a chair, watching the quack. It's just that it didn't take long for her to experience the treatment of being attacked by friendly forces-
"Will you blow it? What is the Best Selling Artist in China at the World Sales Awards? Do you know that the latter sentence shouldn't be wanted?
"Kick it, pig brain, keep it back."
Sun Yanzi, who still had black watermelon seeds left at the corner of her mouth, was stunned.
Three seconds later, she blinked, her mouth opened wide in disbelief, her hand holding the watermelon was shaking, and then she took a hard bite!
Kick me?
Kick me?!
Yanzi Sun, who wanted to theorize, didn't theorize several times......
"Tsk, who's who?"
The defense-breaking Yanzi Sun threw away the watermelon rind, tapped the table with her right index finger irregularly, wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue - after thinking for a while, she crackled on the keyboard, and her expression gradually became hideous over time.
At last......
The old lady is no longer playing!
Sun Yanzi, who played the spiritual victory method, ran away decisively, hummed a song with her backpack, ran downstairs, and took a car to the company to find Zhou Yi.
ps: The ECG is fine, the aminotransferases are a bit high, and it is purely a matter of staying up late.
It was a little late to come back from the hospital tonight waiting for the report, so that's it.
I owe a watch yesterday, I owe a watch today, and I will make up for it tomorrow.
Tomorrow's fourth watch.
