Chapter 348: The Most Special One
"Is Warner crazy?"
"Is Zhou Yi also crazy?"
Yinghuang, Huo Wenxi's office.
Huo Wenxi, who was always paying attention to the situation, frowned, put down the tabloid in hand, and looked extremely solemn.
After so many years in this industry, she almost immediately smelled that something was wrong - Warner provoked the so-called antagonism at this time, and it is difficult to say whether she really wanted to ride the face.
"Sister Mani, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this? Is something going to happen? ”
Although they knew that this kind of news must be behind Warner's ghost at this juncture, the two Twins couldn't figure out one, two, three, four, or five for a long time due to their lack of experience, so they could only turn to the almighty agent.
"Warner's ambitions are too big, and they should want to take this opportunity to make Zhou Yi dominate the top ten radio stations."
Even Huo Wenxi, who is good at hype, can't help but gasp at this moment, secretly thinking about how likely Warner is to succeed in doing this.
"W-What?!"
Asa, who claimed to have seen the world, suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "This is simply impossible! RTHK can't afford to allow this kind of thing to happen! ”
Radio Television Hong Kong, Hong Kong's only government radio station, is in a sense the purest official force.
"So it's Metro Radio, and Warner's main battlefield should be on Metro Radio."
Huo Wenxi's face was extremely solemn: "Don't show your faces in public for the two of you, and in addition, tell the other artists in the EEG that everyone should not express any comments on this matter, and I will go to the boss to discuss the situation." ”
The two Twins looked at each other.
The last time they saw Huo Wenxi with such an expression was when Xie Tingfeng was arrested.
"Okay, got it."
Seeing Huo Wenxi leave resolutely, the two sisters pulled the door frame and watched her figure disappear at the end of the corner of the corridor, exchanged a look with each other, and then slipped out of the door.
And Huo Wenxi was on the way to find his boss Yang Shoucheng, but unsurprisingly met his competitor - Gan Jingjing, the head of the Yinghuang Music Plus department.
"Yinghuang's music division is divided into two parts – EEG and Music Plus.
"Among them, the person in charge of EEG is Huo Wenxi, and the person in charge of Music Plus is called Gan Jingjing, who is this old woman with glasses."
Warner (Hong Kong), Zhou Yi Lounge.
Qian Jiang, who was holding a stack of materials to introduce Zhou Yi to the biggest obstacle to the operation, pointed to a photo and said:
"These two departments have their own ace singers, and their singer types cover all from powerful factions, idol factions to newcomers. Like Huo Wenxi, the agent of Xie Tingfeng, Twins, Rong Gu'er and others you are familiar with is her;
"As for this Gan Jingjing, the singers under her command are Wang Jie, Chen Yixun, Chen Guanxi, Zheng Xiyi and others......"
Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly with the fingers of his right hand against the side of his cheek: "Wang Jie? Isn't she a mortal enemy with Huo Wenxi? ”
"No, Huo Wenxi has been pressing her."
Qian Jiang shook his head: "But this woman's power network is very strong, especially on the side of Hong Kong Commercial Radio." At the same time, Huang Jiantao, a senior executive of Universal Music (Hong Kong)'s Xinyibao Records, is husband and wife with her. ”
"Universal's?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, and Eminem's new movie "8 Miles", which relied on diss to make him popular, was from Universal Pictures.
In other words, the executives of Universal Music, which is a sister company to Universal Pictures, will definitely be able to find out what is going on right away.
"It's useless for them to know what is going on now, the mood and rhythm have been taken care of by us. Now is the time for the crowd to stir up, but anyone who dares to say a word of dissent will immediately be led by us to be a traitor, and this reputational price is something they cannot afford. ”
According to Zhou Yi's proposal, Qianjiang, who played a hand in expanding the operation, can now be described as a spring breeze and horseshoe disease - damn it!
Why didn't I find that marketing could still play like this before, it had to be Ayi.
"In your "Lianshan" album, there are songs that hope to break into the top 10 and the song "Cheers" ......"
In order not to cause Zhou Yi's misunderstanding, Qian Jiang still gave him a preventive injection in advance.
It is definitely unrealistic for all the eleven songs in "Lianshan" to win the top ten on the list, not to mention anything else, the three songs "Can you feel my world", "Ghost", and "In the Name of the Father" in his album are absolutely difficult to break into the top ten.
If it weren't for the popularity of Zhou Yi in front, it would be enough to choke whether these three songs could break into the top 30.
It's unacceptable for Warners to struggle to eat a lot of promotional resources and end up with a lot of promotion.
As for "Killer", the market performance is not as good as Zhou Yi's B-side songs, and they were also removed from the list by Warner after comprehensive consideration.
"Don't worry, I still know what I can and can't."
Zhou Yi put down the information in hand with a smile, and crossed his fingers in front of his lips: "The four songs on side A were originally made to deal with those music critics who want musicality, even if it is "In the Name of the Father", which I attach the most importance to, I also know very well that its radio performance will definitely not be much better." ”
There will always be a saying in later generations that when "In the Name of the Father" began to be used as the title song on the chart, more than 800 million people in Asia listened to it, and what Jay Chou did, the key is that there are really a lot of people who believe this.
This is the same as the ridiculous "Top Ten Ghost Talents in the World", the brainwashing bag released by the pure Hao Ledi is also regarded as the truth by many idols.
To put it simply, since "In the Name of the Father" has been listened to by more than 800 million people in Asia, why doesn't any radio station list have its name?
No matter what the data summary statistics of the list are, you can't find the position of "In the Name of the Father" from the beginning to the end of the list-
Even in the Best Arrangement Competition of the Golden Melody Awards that year, "In the Name of the Father" lost to "Prague Square".
What's even more interesting is that "Sunny Day", which was said by many so-called Jay Chou fans to be not popular at all before, is actually the one that ranks first and runner-up in the major lists.
If it weren't for the winner-take-all Jay Chou after the arrival of the mobile Internet era, he pulled his crotch to the point that he couldn't see it, causing new fans to have to archaeology his previous album songs, and the song "In the Name of the Father" would not have had a chance to become popular at all-
This song was too ahead of its time in this era.
As it turned out, after Warner began to concentrate its resources on promoting the ten songs that were selected, the number of songs that were not selected such as "In the Name of the Father" dropped very quickly on the daily radio charts.
Other record companies in Hong Kong are not vegetarians either-
At 10:08 a.m. on the 24th, local Hong Kong record companies such as Zhengdong Records, Shanghua Records, and Xinyibao Records, which were acquired by Universal, stood up for the first time and helped Chen Yixun, a subsidiary of Yinghuang Gan Jingjing-
Zhengdong Records' ace Chen Huiling, Shanghua Records' singer Zhang Xueyou, and the popular diva of Xinyibao Records, Yang Qianhua, who was nicknamed the fat version of Sun Yanzi, were all brushed out of the ranks!
At 13:00 sharp, Liu Hua of EMI Records was pushed by the company to rejoin the battlefield, and it was rare to start competing for the list data with Zhang Xueyou in the same frame again;
At 14:30, Wang Fei, who transferred to Sony Records, was also pushed out by Sony, and his compilation "You Wang Fei, So I Wang Fei" released in May included a large number of Wang Fei's past golden songs.
If it weren't for Zheng Zhongji's new song + compilation "Encore" this year, which was too crotch-pulling, he might have to be pushed out to make up for it.
"Two of the four heavenly kings in the past came out, and there is also a Wang Fei, Princess Lin...... My mom, why did you suddenly jump up the charts with so many singers' songs? ”
Zhou Yi fans and other singer fans who woke up were a little confused when they saw the changes in the daily ranking data of Hong Kong's three major radio stations, especially Metro Radio - what's the situation?
Yesterday, these songs didn't rank so high, right? It's almost in the top 10 -
Oh no, Wang Fei, who has a lot of fans, has already squeezed two selected old songs into the top ten, squeezing out Zhou Yi's two singles "Cheers" and "Little Dimple".
Huo Wenxi, who chose to watch from the wall, had a rare bite in his mouth, and kept venting the pressure in his heart-
She rejected the words handed over by those "talkers" of the older generation, and did not lead her singers to choose to fight.
"Are you crazy? These people can basically be said to be half of the Hong Kong music scene today, how can you fight alone? ”
Warner.
After Zhou Yi hung up the phone calls of Sun Yanzi, Xiao Yaxuan, Fan Bingbin, Zhou Xun, Zhou Jielun, Zhang Shaohan and others, he unexpectedly received a call from Cai Yanyan -
The other party's unbelievable words made the corners of Zhou Yi's mouth can't help but rise: "So what? I'm still half of the mainland music scene, everyone is half of the country, who is afraid of whom? ”
"Is that the same thing?" Cai was puzzled.
"Haven't you always wanted to be very popular, Asa, I'll teach you a method that can definitely be popular through half the sky."
Zhou Yi, who paced to the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the busy traffic under his feet, put one hand in his pocket and said word by word: "Look good, study hard, I will only teach once." ”
At 17:05, Jay Chou from Taiwan still failed to hold on to sunset after all, and was kicked out of the top ten on the daily list by Yang Qianhua's "Yang Qianhua".
It was also from this time that on the daily list of the entire Xincheng Radio, only Zhou Yi, a foreign mainland singer, was left in the top ten singers-
Liu Hua, Zhang Xueyou, Wang Fei, Yang Qianhua, Chen Yixun, and Chen Huiling surrounded and intercepted him.
At the same time, Hacken Lee, a subsidiary of Universal Music, has officially joined the battlefield!
The entire Hong Kong music scene suddenly became a pot of porridge.
The vested interests behind this group of people also focused on their propaganda after knowing that Warner was the main target of Metro Radio, and at the same time repeatedly assured that there would be no favoritism in this radio station!
"It's impossible to do, and there's never been a singer in the history who has been able to dominate the top 10 of the song charts."
Cai Taiyan, who used this reason to ask Zhou Yi out for dinner, also lost his simple demeanor in the past, and said something.
"That's why I'm the special one."
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and cut the steak on the plate: "Their songs are already old songs, and the novelty has long passed." Moreover, except for Chen Yixun's young fans, there may be more fans in this group, and the other people's fans are mainly busy young and middle-aged.
"They may have money, but they lack what a radio station needs to hit the charts — free time."
