"Artificial restrictions in Taiwan that are completely unreasonable, and there have been no opponents in the mainland since their debut;

"Internationally-for-tat with the world hip-hop king Eminem, but some people say that there is no dominance - English album sales have only maintained four consecutive championships, which is not at the domestic level.

"And this time in Hong Kong, he has created an unprecedented legendary record, and single-handedly raised the market share of Hong Kong Metro Radio, surpassing Radio Hong Kong and Hong Kong Commercial Radio, ranking first in Hong Kong......

As the most authoritative music magazine in the mainland, "Contemporary Music Circle" can almost be said to have declined along with the decline of the music scene.

The editor-in-chief is worried about whether to change the positioning of the magazine almost every day and add a little more film and television information, otherwise the mainland music scene basically has nothing to write about, Zhou Yi's dominance of the list has long been an inevitable situation, and no one in Hong Kong and Taiwan new singers dares to challenge Zhou Yi, the god who was born out of nowhere, and Xie Tingfeng, another big news person, has a accident.

Until Zhou Yi's unprecedented commercial value in China this time - it is really unprecedented.

He single-handedly helped Metro Radio achieve its long-cherished wish that had not been realized in the past ten years - surpassing Radio Television Hong Kong and commercial radio and becoming the first place.

Although Wang Fei's fans also made a lot of efforts, after all, they persevered until the last moment.

But they still failed in the end.

From the moment the right to speak is held by the winner, it is destined that this battle will only belong to Zhou Yi alone, and it is impossible for others to get involved.

"Contemporary Music Circle" is the most typical example, directly ignoring Wang Fei, who should also be from the mainland, and directly put this laurel crown on Zhou Yi's head, to thank him for saving the magazine's sales this month-

Relying on the continuous release of Zhou Yi's news of the battle, the sales of "Contemporary Music Circle" have come to life. In this era when you can buy a magazine and circulate it to the whole class, it has even set a new sales record since the turn of the millennium!

"Zhou Yi is so amazing! So many well-known Hong Kong singers have been defeated. ”

"Didn't Wang Fei say that she was the most powerful female singer after Teresa Teng, she lost......"

“……”

Shangrao, Zhoujia Village.

When Zhao Ping and his wife were still running a supermarket to avoid being too bored and serving the villagers, the good news of "Contemporary Music Circle" had spread here with the distribution of channels.

Since he was a child, he watched Zhou Yi go from wearing open crotch pants to growing up to become a big star, and his neighbors would more or less nag Zhou Yi to conquer Hong Kong when he was playing mahjong and washing clothes by the river.

"Andy is gone? Zhang Xueyou also lost? And Wang Fei? ”

"My mother, is that son of the old Zhou family so fierce, I thought he was on fire in my son and people of their age."

“……”

For those of them who live in small remote cities, their inherent impression of superstars is that they are the people in Hong Kong before - how popular Zhou Yi is, they don't actually have a specific concept.

If you tell them how good Eminem is the king of the United States, they will only look confused; If you tell them that Zhouyi is a global bestseller, they will only sincerely praise this child for being a kind of person who can make foreign money, but they don't have much concept of the so-called global bestseller.

Dingtian is very sensitive to making money, knowing that he has made a lot of money, and he can't spend a lot of money in a lifetime, hundreds of millions.

But Hong Kong's big stars are different.

Not only Zhoujiacun, but also the countryside of all provinces and cities across the country, the superstars in the impression of their parents are those people in Hong Kong, and some people can even recognize Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou as Hong Kong;

In the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, after Zhou Yi's shocking speech of "Lao Tzu is the first, second and third in history" came out, it was inevitable that many middle-aged people who were thick and thin on the past and the present frowned at this rampant boy.

But now, when the so-called holy place in their hearts is conquered, some of them have to hold back even if they are not convinced.

As for the Internet, at this moment, that is the world where Zhou Yifan is active, and he will kneel down if he refuses to accept everything!

"What the fuck...... Who can I talk to, I'm convinced. ”

Shanghai, in a hotel.

Sun Nan, who came to Shanghai to promote his new album, looked at the statistics handed over by his agent, and a deep sense of powerlessness came to his heart in an instant, and he sat down on the sofa and took a sip of wine.

The two songs "Rescue" and "The Sky of Fate" in his new album are reasonable enough in the music industry, especially "Rescue", which is a complete golden song level.

He knew that he didn't have the results of the English college, and now he would definitely not be able to beat Zhou Yi in terms of status, but at least in the Chinese college, he still has some ambitions——

Then Zhou Yi gave him a slap in the face.

In other words, he gave a blow to all those who are not optimistic about him in the mainland music scene.

Sun Nan made his debut from Hong Kong and then returned to the mainland to develop, and he knows better than anyone that the unspoken rule in that circle is to exclude mainlanders.

Mainland actors are a little better, and in the past, at least they could play a supporting role in the movie. In the past, mainland singers were as high as Cui Jian, Dou Wei and even Liu Huan couldn't please them.

This is also the reason why there are few public exchanges between the bigwigs of the mainland music scene and the Hong Kong music scene.

But now Zhou Yi has broken this damn unspoken rule and rubbed the face of the Hong Kong music circle on the ground.

As Zhou Yi's owner, the signed singers of Warner Records also came out from top to bottom to congratulate Zhou Yi on his unprecedented achievements-

"Congratulations to Zhou Yi, this achievement is really not easy, really."

Na Ying, who has also suffered discrimination in the middle, said in an interview with reporters: "Before him, we never thought that a singer could contract the top ten radio stations. ”

Zheng Xiuwen and Guo Fucheng, the two former Warner brothers and sisters, also generously sent blessings to Zhou Yi after the dust settled at this moment: "Ah Yi has a bright future, and our era in the music scene has passed." ”

Other mainland musicians such as Wang Feng, Xu Wei, Fu Shu, Zhang Yadong and other mainland musicians also expressed their admiration for Zhou Yi through various media channels.

Step up to music, Hu Yanbing, who unexpectedly received Zhou Jianhui's invitation to poach, was even more excited and trembled. Even though Busheng Music is about to merge with a large company, he is still attracted by the prospects described by Zhou Jianhui.

That's Zhou Yi!

In Hefei, Anhui Province, a high school student surnamed Xu listened to "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" in the cassette of Zhou Yi's "Lianshan" song, and silently wrote this unique and tactful and poignant lyrics on the blank page of the homework book one by one-

The classmates all love "Fairy Tale", but he loves "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold". He even thinks that in Zhou Yi's album, the best lyrics are the two songs "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold" and "Mom and Dad".

"Xu Song, are you still copying lyrics? Going to play table tennis? The tables are all occupied. ”

"No, you can go."

Xu Song, who politely refused the kindness of his classmates, glanced at the "Contemporary Music World" placed in the upper left corner of the desktop, and the cover of Zhou Yi raising his index finger and facing the direction of the camera made him yearn for it-

He really wants to make music, too!

But when he thought of home, Xu Song suddenly sighed again.

Forget it, let's study hard first, let's talk about being admitted to college seriously, didn't Zhou Yi also start to embark on the road of music after going to college.

Thinking of Zhou Yi's pre-debut experience of blowing himself up on the show, Xu Song directly used it to motivate himself.

In Shenyang, when he was still a junior high school student, a boy surnamed Wang from the Northeast met the teacher's explanation of Zhou Yi's fingering when he was learning classical music-

"It can be seen that the classical music that Zhou Yi played for the heroine in the MV of "In the Name of the Father" is the "Nocturne" I once mentioned to you. Obviously, the version that Zhou Yi studied in the past is the version of the great pianist Rubinstein, who is also called the master who can best interpret Chopin's piano music in the current classical music world......"

In this era when Zhou Yitong kills junior high, high school, and college students, the teacher obviously chooses the easiest way to calm down and learn classical music seriously: move out of Zhou Yi, which the children are most interested in.

In Qingdao, a quasi-high school student surnamed Xu, who likes to paint, is depicting a sketch of an idol according to the poster he bought Zhou Yi's album - the more he practiced, the more realistic it became, and he even got the exclamation of his classmates: "Your sketch is getting better and better, Xu Liang, what Zhou Yi painted for you this week is the same as the real one." ”

"Don't blow it, just draw whatever you want."

Xu Liang smiled, but when he raised his eyes and saw a girl walking by outside the window, he immediately put down the pen and paper, took a box of Zhou Yi's tapes and chased him out of the back door of the art classroom......

Zhou Yi, who spreads scandals everywhere, is his idol in life!

The idol said that since you like it, you will confess it directly!

Xu Liang went up with a confident A, and Xu Liang played GG.

A few hours later, he learned a cruel truth from his friend's mouth - the girl felt that he was not good at singing, and a good fairy tale full of vitality was sung with the texture of kidney deficiency.

"The fairy tales he sings are so ugly, and he has a weak ......"

After experiencing the first crush in his life that died before he even started, Xu Liang felt that he was hurt. But soon he was not discouraged, after all, his favorite male singer was Zhou Yi!

A guy who will never be short of female friends-

"Harem on Fire? Fan Bingbin arrived in Hong Kong overnight! 》

The gossip weekly, which is always so unique, is still staring at his lace at the highest point in Zhou Yi's prestige, especially after Fan Bingbin arrived in Hong Kong, she was photographed appearing downstairs at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel where Zhou Yi lived during this time.

Of course, his agent Chen Shufen naturally denied it: "Bingbin just came to Hong Kong to participate in the celebration ceremony of Metro Radio, please don't write nonsense in the media." ”

As one of the biggest beneficiaries of this turmoil, Metro Radio is now almost snotty bubbles up and down, which is really grabbing market share from the mouths of its opponents.

"Ah Yi, next year's Xincheng Chinese Power Award Ceremony, you are definitely the biggest winner, my words are placed here!"

High-level celebration of Metro Radio.

Gan Guoliang, the first batch of people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry to go north, the former director of Hong Kong TVB, and the current director of Metro Radio, who is known as the most successful cross-media person in Hong Kong, patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder with a very kind smile: "Jianhui didn't see the wrong person, I didn't see the wrong person." ”

"Uncle Gan, actually, I'm not very concerned about awards or anything. Of course, if you insist on giving it to me, I can't help it. Zhou Yi was still very grateful to the director who pressed the treasure on himself under pressure, and his ridiculous tone made the audience laugh.

"Of course it's not a hard stopper, how can it be a hard stopper, who has the face to say that?"

Gan Guoliang, who was born in 1950, was older than Zhou Yi's parents, and when he smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were more than one: "This time you can be regarded as swelling the old stubborn faces." ”

As a person who entered Xincheng Radio as the director in 98, Gan Guoliang tried a variety of methods, but he was never able to increase the market share of Xincheng Radio. At the same time, as the first batch of veterans in the Hong Kong circle to go north, he is also the group that actively establishes ties with the mainland-

It is precisely because of this that after seeing what happened to Zhou Jianhui, he was also mired in infighting, and simply did not stop doing it, introducing Zhou Yi, who was already invincible in the mainland, to increase the market share of Metro Radio at the cost of the gimmick of "defeating the Hong Kong music scene".

It was a desperate gamble after he forced down the opposition.

Fortunately, he, like Zhou Jianhui, won the bet.

"Whether it is the listening rate or the frequency of singing, or the number of calls, advertising and other indicators, in the past five days, Metro Radio has firmly ranked first in Hong Kong, and is far behind the second-ranked Radio Hong Kong Radio 13-16 percentage points.

"Ah Yi, come, I salute you for this cup."

Gan Guoliang raised his glass very solemnly: "If you encounter any problems in Hong Kong in the future, you can come to me." Although there are not many places I can help in the mainland, I am familiar with big directors and actors from the mainland, such as Zhang Yimou and Gong Li.

"I don't know if you have heard of the "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" starring Yimou and Gong Li, as for the one directed by Cheng Xiaodong, I am the producer."

？

I'm really surprised next week, buddy, you're really old.

Here, the senior management of Metro Radio is happily holding a celebration party, and on the other side, the senior management of Hong Kong Commercial Radio and Radio Hong Kong are collectively breaking the defense-

In particular, Hong Kong Commercial Radio, which fell to third place.

"Treme! Zhou Yi hit the street! ”

Yu Zheng, the current CEO of Commercial Radio and known as one of Hong Kong's talented women in the past, watched his unfinished business being overtaken by Metro Radio's Gan Guoliang, and finally couldn't help but scold: "What does the board of directors do!" ”

After entering the millennium, due to personal reasons, she has gradually faded out of the management of commercial radio stations, and as a result, the people under her hands gave her such a big job.

"Who would have thought that Zhou Yi, the mainland boy, could bring such a big market value, this situation has never happened before."

The subordinates were also very aggrieved, but they couldn't say it.

It is impossible for anyone else to accomplish this miracle, and they can't be blamed for losing.

Yes, miracles.

Miracles seemed to them no longer enough to explain the situation.

In the eyes of all radio practitioners across the country, this wave of Xincheng Radio should really kneel down collectively and give Zhou Yi a knock.

Whether it is marketing, wooing or dividing the fan base, Warner and Metro Radio have achieved the ultimate cooperation, coupled with Zhou Yi's excellent album quality and the attributes of Hong Kong people who not only do not reject English songs, but like them very much, which created the birth of this carnival.

Take a look at the live rankings now –

First: "Fairy Tale"

Second: "Little Dimples"

Third: "Today You're Going to Marry Me"

Fourth: "BaBy"

Fifth: "Mr. Lonely"

Sixth: "Mom and Dad"

Seventh: "Good Time"

Eighth: "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold"

Ninth: Cheers

10th: "yes"

The whole ten songs, the lyrics, composition, arrangement, and singing are all written with the word "Zhou Yi", which is unprecedented!

If there is no Zhou Yi's excellent quality British album, his "Lianshan" will not be able to complete the list even if the quality is high, and the three songs on the list in his British album, in addition to "yes" is only popular in European and American countries, "BaBy" and "Good Time" can even be said to be popular in all countries around the world-

Next door, Japan and South Korea have dominated the list for a long time, and Hikaru Utada, who has not yet made a British specialty, is more and more embarrassing in comparison.

As of 11:08 a.m. on the 12th, there are still no challengers on the new Hong Kong No. 1 Radio Music Chart ruled by Zhou Yi, and the record of more than 24 hours is still being extended.

Don't ask, asking is Zhou Yi's awesome to be recorded!

This is the gold content of Zhouyi!

This is Warner!

At the same time, Zhou Jianhui, who also used the Zhou Yi Tugang incident to show Warner's muscles, can be said to be directly on the big score, and the number of musicians who submit to Warner has to double every few hours, hoping to be selected by Warner-

It is best to be favored by Zhou Yi.

Because the last composer who was favored by Zhou Yi was a Singaporean named Lin Junjie, he has been following Adu everywhere to promote in the past few months, and has accumulated a lot of popularity.

And when Zhou Jianhui was still busy preparing for Zhou Yi to make a Guinness World Record at the Xincheng Radio Celebration, Qian Jiang, as Zhou Yi's agent, was not idle, and was still squeezing the sales potential of the "Lianshan" album all the time.

"As of yesterday's 11th, Zhou Yi's "Lianshan" has sold 416,860 copies in Hong Kong! Break through 8 Platinum! ”

When Warner Records officially joined hands with the Hong Kong Record Association to announce the results of this chart domination battle, the entire Hong Kong industry was shocked!

How many years, how many years, has there been an eight-platinum album in Hong Kong?!

In Hong Kong, the standard for platinum records is 50,000 because of the market. Even at the peak of the HK Phil's era, eight platinum records were not a big deal.

After the gradual decline of the Hong Kong music scene, let alone eight platinum, being able to sell three platinum and four platinum like Xie Tingfeng is a big sale worthy of burning incense, and occasionally you can touch the threshold of five platinum, which is why Xie Tingfeng can have proud capital.

Zhou Yi's past albums, even the most popular "Jiangnan" did not reach the level of eight platinum in Hong Kong.

But his "Lianshan" this year has made countless people dream back to the golden age of the Hong Kong music scene - an era when the music scene is full of gold in the mouths of the older generation, and you can pick up money by bending down and bowing your head!

Wang Fei, Andy, Zhang Xueyou, Li Keqin...... I felt as if I had seen the glory days of the past, only this time it was a 21-year-old kid competing against them. ”

Because of cancer, Huang Zhan, a grandmaster in the Hong Kong entertainment industry who has shaved his hair, was quite confused in an interview: "But the times are not the same as they were back then, and to be honest, I used to look down on Zhou Yi's music."

"I think Chinese should not play pure foreign devils when playing music, we must have our own innovation and our own culture." It's like his previous Hiphop, I really don't like it at all, and the fusion drama is also nondescript, so Chen Long may listen to it if he has been in the United States for a long time.

But from the beginning of "East Wind Breaking" to this "Fireworks Are Easy to Cold", it made me think that this person was a little interesting, and it was obvious that he was also aware of his limitations and began to consciously adjust his music style.

"But I still think his current songs are not atmospheric enough, he should be more atmospheric."

The famous martial arts writer Jin Yong said in an interview that Zhou Yi was not able to play Duan Yu, and he was very sorry: "I think it's a pity, he has a natural nobility, which is rare." ”

In "Dragon Babu", which has already started filming, Lin Zhiying, who was hypocritically wanted to raise the price earlier, heard that Zhang Dabeard wanted to invite Zhou Yi to play Duan Yu, and was so frightened that he lowered the price overnight and agreed to play Duan Yu, which has become a joke.

As a figure that cannot be bypassed in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, a large number of old people, including Huang Zhan, were also invited by Metro Radio to the celebration ceremony on the 15th. Especially Huang Zhan, who is not a cultivator, has wanted to meet Zhou Yi, the legendary little rascal, for a long time.

On the 13th, Zhou Yi's record of dominating the list for 48 hours, five minutes and eight seconds came to an end, and what ended his record was not Chen Yixun or anyone else, but another song created by Zhou Yi-

Xiao Yaxuan's Prague Square.

In the case that Sun Yanzi's new album has not yet been released in Hong Kong, Xiao Yaxuan's "4U" has become the only choice to break the record of Zhou Yi's chart.

After all, the only person who dares to release the album at a unified time across the country is Zhou Yi.

Anyway, it's all Zhou Yi's song, and the relationship between the two is so good, it's better than being broken by others.

And with the breaking of Zhou Yiba's golden body, Warner also officially announced the Guinness World Records and album sales on the morning of the 14th-

As of 23:59 on November 13, 2002, the total sales of Zhou Yi's "Lianshan" album officially exceeded the 2.25 million mark! Among them, Hong Kong 8 platinum, mainland 1,327,407, Taiwan 400,700, Macao 110,000!

"A new Guinness World Record has been set with 10 songs dominating the Hong Kong Radio 1 Metro Music Chart for more than 48 hours! At the same time, Zhou Yi is also the only singer in the world who has achieved the top ten of the music charts by himself, and there is no one! ”

Because the influence caused by the domination incident in China is too sensational, there are media reports every day. Affected by this, people across the Taiwan Strait and the three places, who actively and passively receive all kinds of information about Zhou Yi every day or every two or three days, directly pushed Zhou Yi's new album to an unprecedented sales peak!

After 43 days on sale, the total sales exceeded 2.25 million!

At the same time, Zhou Yiquan's total sales of Chinese albums in Asia also exceeded 7.8 million copies, and the total global sales reached 8.04 million copies, becoming the fastest Chinese singer in history to break through the 8 million mark in total sales of Chinese albums!

"Chinese music scene, welcome your king!" 》

On the 15th, the day of the start of the celebration of Metro Radio and Warner Records, a series of newspapers in Hong Kong did not know whether they had discussed it or had a spirit or superpowers, and they all used the same title-

The pictures are basically handsome photos of Zhou Yi standing on Hong Kong's landmark buildings-

Typical as standing on the clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui and taking a look at the mountains, Zhou Yi, who has one hand in his pocket, at the same time put his right index finger against his lips, signaling everyone at his feet to shut up!
