Chapter 163 They Are All Here to Compete for the Second Place This Year (3rd Update)
The reporters who originally expected Wang Lihong to say something harsh and youthful, such as "I want to drag Zhou Yi off the damn throne" were disappointed.
After all, although Wang Lihong has always been so gentle and gentle in his external performance since his debut, he is signed to Sony Music, which gives some entertainment reporters room to imagine.
Unfortunately, it was somewhat unsatisfactory in the end.
Judging from the sales data, you are the only singer who is expected to catch up with Zhou Yi in mainland China so far this year.
Where is the energy of young people?
What about the energy of young people?
Are you giving up now?
Why don't you dare to fight with him?
Coward!
Hello, I’m hello, everyone. I can’t write much breaking news.
At this moment, Taiwanese reporters, who are racking their brains for breaking news, miss Zhou Yi who was still able to appear in public and move freely in Taiwan last year.
No matter what he does, he will always be in the headlines. There will never be a shortage of news to write about him, and his bonus performance will skyrocket.
If possible, they would even be willing to sing Sun Nan's golden song "Come Back Soon" to Zhou Yi.
However, the mainland reporters who were supposed to be on a first-come-first-served basis were also very depressed at this time.
When Chinese-American Wang Lihong "challenges" Zhou Yi, they really want to get the right to interview Zhou Yi——
Then I took a look at Zhou Yifang's official schedule. Zhou Yifang will be interviewed by the "Super Interview" column today.
You can think of it all with your buttocks. The "Super Interview" column team will definitely ask relevant questions on the show. After all, Zhou Yi is famous for being aloof on topics.
The main thing is that as long as you dare to ask, he dares to answer.
The "Super Access" column team was so overwhelmed by this piece of heaven-dropped pie that they almost went crazy with joy. However, for the sake of caution, they still asked Warner whether this topic could be brought up——
"Why can't you mention it? I don't believe his sales this year can surpass mine."
In the nanny car, Zhou Yi played with the "Jiangnan" album and "Graduation" EP that he was going to bring to the "Super Visit" recording site. He lay half-ly on the seat and twisted comfortably: "It just so happens that my EP is on sale today. , isn’t this also a marketing point?”
He doesn't have many marketing cards left. If he wants to touch the door of three million sales in Asia, he really has to find another hot spot.
"Isn't your English single "lazy song" just a marketing point? Why did you delay its release?"
Qian Jiang was a little puzzled.
Chen Long's "Rush Hour 2" was a box office hit in the United States and also won gratifying box office success in the United Kingdom. As the composer of the soundtrack, Zhou Yi's best choice should have been to pursue the victory and let Warner headquarters' marketing take advantage of this trend. Just try to push him out.
Why, after looking at the upcoming global release schedule of "Rush Hour 2", Zhou Yi changed the single release date to September 22.
“To be honest, I think it is more practical to conquer the Japanese market.
"Chen Long's movie will be released in Japan on September 22. Because it has achieved great success in the United States, Japanese people who are already obsessed with Chen Long's movies will definitely rush to watch it."
Zhou Yi replied seriously: "The Japanese are obviously more accepting of yellow people singing English songs.
"As a debut single in English, considering the discrimination against Chinese in the European and American music circles, I think it would be better to start by attacking the Japanese market, which is also a yellow race."
From a rational point of view, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, they are just taking advantage of Chen Long's popularity.
We can't let him shout all over the world that a disaster is coming that will shock the entire United States.
If a disaster hits the US when releasing a film, once the promotional activities are cancelled, no matter how talented he is, he will die miserably.
There is a ready-made example in the Chinese music scene - Liang Jingru's first album in Taiwan was so bleak that it didn't even make any splash, because it was hit by a disaster when it was released, and all promotional activities were canceled.
Qian Jiang, who could not predict the future, was puzzled by this, but considering that the English songs in the Japanese market were indeed good, and Chen Long's popularity might really allow him to take a big bite of meat, he didn't ask any more questions and accompanied Zhou Yi to arrive. The studio recording scene of "Super Visit".
As a popular interview variety show nowadays, whether because it is too stingy or for some other reason, the recording area of "Super Interview" is much smaller than that of the equally popular variety show "Happy Camp".
Zhou Yi even doubted whether this place would be crowded when all the audience came in.
"Welcome, Zhou Yi, I am Dai Jun."
Just after he followed Qian Jiang into the recording scene that made him complain, Dai Jun, who was still preparing for the rehearsal process, noticed him immediately, walked over with a smile and said hello: "Your height makes me very happy." It’s stressful, I report my height as 183cm.”
Beside him, his partner Li Jing, who is also the founder of this show, also walked over and extended his hand in a friendly manner: "Li Jing. I didn't expect you to be more handsome in real life than in the album, Zhou Yi."
"Brother Jun, Sister Jing."
After shaking hands, Zhou Yi smiled without showing his teeth: "You'd better not praise me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be prone to having my tail turned upside down."
"You are not the kind of person with a raised tail."
Dai Jun, who can be considered a senior in the music industry, smiled and said something to himself: "Although I only became popular for a year and then disappeared, I have seen a lot of people like that."
"Brother Jun reminded me, could you please sign it for me when the rehearsal is over? My mother liked your song "Alian" very much before."
Zhou Yi smiled and took a signed book and an album with the cover of "Alian Bride" from Qian Jiang's hand.
"Really? I'm still so popular now?"
"Brother Jun, you may have some misunderstanding about yourself. I don't know about other places. In my hometown, you are the idol of middle-aged women."
Although he knew that this was most likely a courtesy, Dai Jun was still obviously very happy.
Who in the entertainment industry is willing to admit that he is no longer popular, especially when Zhou Yi, who said this, is a star singer who is extremely popular.
Li Jing, who was watching the two chatting from the side, also nodded secretly in her heart.
It's good to be able to talk openly. What she fears most about doing this kind of talk show is the boring gourd who can't be beaten with three sticks and the crazy niche who talks without any knowledge of advancement or retreat.
The former is easy to get cold feet, while the latter is difficult to control.
However, she didn't realize until the rehearsal that Zhou Yi's chatting ability and effect seemed to be a bit beyond her expectations...
Especially when he answered the question about Wang Lihong and others’ recent entry into the mainland music market.
"Wait a minute, I think the previous conversation between me and Zhou Yi can also be put into the show."
Dai Jun, who is good at self-deprecating and self-deprecating, took the initiative to make this request after the first rehearsal in order to give Zhouyi the best show effect.
"It can also be cut into the trailer alone."
Li Jing, who immediately thought of a preview in her mind to raise expectations, sounded excited. She even thought about the slogan, so she just used Zhou Yi's answer without changing a word -
"Zhouyi: They are all here to compete for second place this year"
