For the Chinese music scene, Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng are undoubtedly two mountains that are difficult for ordinary people to climb, and they are also the objects that many young creators will compare when they come out.

Among them, Luo Dayou, who is more versatile among the two, has a wider range of themes and music genres, is basically firmly in the top spot of the godfather of the Chinese music scene.

As a singer in the field of pop music, Luo Dayou was able to reach this status with his broken gong throat, relying on his pioneering and development contributions to Chinese pop music. The Chinese pop music before him and after him are obviously the same year, and it is an exaggeration to say that they are two different eras.

One sentence evaluation: He has redefined the Chinese music scene.

He plays rock, he plays punk, he plays reggae, he plays soul, he plays jazz, he plays R&B, he plays folk songs, and even the so-called Chinese style, he also plays.

After the millennium, Luo Dayou has played almost all the styles that have prevailed in the Chinese music scene.

And the content he sings is not only the wind and snow, but also the extremely strong society, humanistic care, ethereal and realistic poems and distances.

Due to the times, some people may look back and listen to Luo Dayou's songs or albums after the millennium, and they will feel that the production level is a little rough in comparison.

But in addition, whether it is melodic arrangement or instrument arrangement, Luo Dayou's songs will not be outdated even in the era of Internet traffic where the mentality is becoming more irritable and the rhythm is becoming more and more rapid.

This is also the reason why some people in the music scene are called "Little Li Zongsheng" and some people are called "Little Who", but no singer has ever been named "Little Luo Dayou" since his debut.

Apple Daily: Chicken thieves are also chicken thieves at this point.

If you pull a Li Zongsheng alone, it is difficult to ferment the topic, because he is not on the same track as Zhou Yi in the strict sense.

But with the addition of one Luo Dayou, it's different.

As one of the few in the Chinese music scene - no, it should be said that it is a rare local all-in-one machine that can span a variety of music genres, Luo Dayou is a benchmark -

still has a very high influence and status of the benchmark, and most of his supporters are still middle-aged people who have become the mainstay of society today.

And the label is also an all-in-one machine, Zhou Yi's fans, the basic market is just teenagers and young people.

One is an old god who has been sitting on the top spot for nearly 20 years, representing the memories and past of an era. Although the peak has passed, the residual power is still there;

One is a new god that rises after the new century, which represents the arrival of a new era. Vertical and horizontal, high-spirited.

Past and Future: Innate Opposites, News-Making Machines.

What's more, Luo Dayou is the face of Rolling Stone, and today's Rolling Stone Records are also continuing to decline because of investment failures and the sluggish record market-

The Rolling Stone Dynasty, which was once prosperous, was like the end of the empire in history, and problems arose one after another, even with the two true gods Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng in charge, it could not be alleviated.

In contrast, under the leadership of Xinshen Zhouyi, Warner Records, whose domestic record market share is basically close to the bottom, has risen against the trend in the new century and has become a leader in one fell swoop, thriving every day.

piggybacking also milked a Stefanie Sun and her twin stars in China, and the two helped Warner eat away at the market share of male and female singers.

Xiao Yaxuan of Viking Records also received Zhou Yi Welfare, and Zhang Shaohan of Fumao Records, who ate Zhou Yi Welfare on his debut.

On the whole, the current Zhou Yi is no different from Luo Dayou back then, not only can he make records, but he can also milk others.

The only drawback is that Luo Dayou's debut album "Zhihu Ye" is obviously stronger than Zhou Yi's debut album "Zhou Yi" that integrates hiphop elements in terms of its importance to the music world-

The former directly changed the Chinese pop music scene, while the latter only pushed the hiphop elements to the mainstream commercial market of the music scene and became a benchmark for market maturity.

"Such a comparison is actually unfair to Zhou Yi, because our music scene has developed for so long, and the types of music that should be there have have actually developed very maturely."

Sunday, July 28th.

After the publication of the article "Apple Daily", which led to a war for fear that the music world would not be chaotic, Luo Dayou, who has always been low-key, took the initiative to ask a local media reporter in Taiwan for the first time, and personally refuted the news of "Apple Daily" that may be beneficial to Rolling Stone Records in terms of sales.

"Before Zhou Yi, it wasn't that no one had ever played Hiphop, and even more foreign Chinese played Hiphop. But whether it is us or them, our Hiohop commercialization and localization have never been enough.

"We can play, but we can't sell it, and there is no way to get record companies, relevant channels, and domestic audiences to accept this kind of music on a large scale, and they will only think that the songs are noisy, even if they are young people."

In the interview, Luo Dayou did not have reservations because Zhou Yi was the prince of the company, but did not hide his appreciation: "But Zhou Yi did it, this is where he is great."

"He is at the forefront of world music in this regard, and his English album "The Attitude Show" is actually more reflective of his understanding of the market and the balance of playing music, and it is also the place where his music can lead the world trend.

"He is the first person in China and even among Chinese pop singers to go to this point, and I can even guess that in the future, many singers will use Zhou Yi's songs as a template for commercial production.

This is also the reason why Zong Sheng said before that Zhou Yi promoted and enriched the commercialization of Chinese pop elements of hiphop elements.

"At the same time, he has not forgotten to adapt his understanding of world music in a reasonable localized way and integrate it into our unique Chinese context, which is why Zhou Yi's albums in both Chinese and English are so popular."

In the case that the boss of Rolling Stone Records was eager to quarrel with Zhou Yi so that they could hype the company's singer Li Shengjie's new album "Infatuation Absolutely", Luo Dayou firmly chose to stand up for Zhou Yi and praised him.

This is the first time that Luo Dayou has expressed such high praise for a junior singer since he ascended the throne in the media and public reputation-

A basin of cold water was poured directly on the head of Li Zhiying, the head of "Apple Daily", who wanted to sell sales by stirring up the heat of this war.

"Zhou Yi is young and vigorous? I think it's okay, who hasn't been young, and the things I did when I was young are just unknown to many of you now. I also scold, and I scold people much more ruthlessly than Zhou Yi. ”

Luo Dayou, who gave up medicine and followed the song, laughed when he said this: "You include people like Zongsheng, there were a lot of ridiculous things when you were young.

"If the media, my fans or others have to compare me with Zhou Yi, then I think maybe the sunset and the rising sun are the best portrayal."

"I am the sunset that is about to set, and he is the sun at seven or eight o'clock in the morning".

On Monday, the 29th, Sanli News Weekly directly released a complete interview with Luo Dayou-

Because of the "big war" between these two generations of kings, the popularity is so high that it is sold out directly on the island in one day!

In the mainland, thanks to Luo Dayou's reputation and status, his evaluation directly transformed the atmosphere of the hot battle into the baton of the two generations of music kings-

Among them, the Zhiyu Zhile News Media Company headed by Wang Xiaoyu has made great efforts.

"I like Mr. Luo Dayou's songs very much, whether it's "The Story of Time", "Childhood", or even "Pearl of the Orient", these are all classic songs that I was exposed to when I was in school.

"It's no exaggeration to say that these songs were one of the guides I embarked on when I was a child, so I never paid attention to the scolding from the outside world."

Zhou Yi, who has sincere respect for this person, really admires this person's mind after seeing this interview.

If he is in Rolling Stone, Luo Dayou is in Warner, he will have to touch the porcelain and hype it again.

After all, the current Rolling Stone is short of record sales. And it just so happens that the recent Rolling Stone has come out with a very widely circulated album -

Singer Li Shengjie released "Infatuation Absolutely" at the end of June.

After a month of fermentation, whether it is the radio charts or KTV popularity, the title song of the album of the same name "Infatuated Absolute" is so popular that it is a mess, and the kind that has exploded across the Taiwan Strait and three places-

The limelight is in full swing, chasing the god of war under the car Adu.

In terms of the popularity of singing in the mainland, the results of KTV commercial licensing, and even Jay Chou, who had just released his new album "Octave Space", was trampled under his feet, and the prices of commercial performances and advertising endorsements all jumped sharply, and the Rolling Stones, who were short of money, blossomed.

"So you mean you're ready to reign?"

"It's 2002, not 1802."

On July 30, at the ANTA event, Zhou Yi glanced at the fast-running Hong Kong reporter with disdain: "I said that I am the king of sales, what is your opinion?" What is Jimmy Lai's opinion? His master doesn't have any opinions, and he is still contributing album sales to me. ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

me!

In Hong Kong, Jimmy Lai was almost so angry by Zhou Yi's words.

This dog day is really your mother arrogant and not afraid of things.

"Check it out! Check Zhouyi's overseas results of this week's English album, as long as there is a decline, I will be ridiculed to death! ”

"Uh, boss, this isn't."

"None? Not really? ”

Jimmy Lai gritted his teeth: "Look for those small countries, small countries with poor grades!" What about the brain?! ”

"Boss, this ...... Not really. The embarrassed subordinate looked embarrassed: "Don't let us start the compilation directly, then you have to find someone to go to prison instead of you." ”
