Chapter 408: Music Can Be Down-to-Earth, but It Cannot Be Down-to-Earth
As the main force among the three Golden Melody Awards, the various relationships between Jay Chou and Zhou Yi are known to all on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in Hong Kong and Macau.
Even if Zhou Yi himself is too lazy to mention these things, he can't stand the gossip media chewing over and over again, and fans still love to watch and quarrel.
If there is traffic, there will be space.
Not to mention that the most critical material for saving people was Jay Chou's own self-exposure on the show to clear Zhou Yi's name. Although the actual situation did not change much in the end, Zhou Yi, as a mainland singer, still could not enter and leave Taiwan normally.
But this act of loyalty still made the young Jay Chou selected by China Mobile. After many inspections, he finally defeated Wang Lihong and others to get the endorsement contract of M-Zone.
At least from the perspective of KTV, Jay Chou was able to get this contract that can help him expand his influence and popularity in the mainland, at least 70% of it was because of Zhou Yi's face.
Didn't you see that the other three spokespersons all publicly chose to stand on Zhou Yi's side when they first chose sides?
Of course, there is also a 10% possibility that Sony, which is behind Wang Lihong, asked for too high a price, and China Mobile could not meet it.
"If you really can't memorize it, you can just not sing it and turn down this endorsement. I don't care."
"Go to hell, I'm not that stupid."
Jay Chou on the other end of the phone laughed and cursed.
He is not as popular as Zhou Yi now. Although he is also popular, he is still far behind this man who seems to be cheating, especially in the mainland.
His active market is still in Taiwan, and his face recognition in the mainland is not even as good as Wang Lihong, the "Prince Charming" who relies on Wahaha advertisements.
There is no way. Wahaha's ground promotion channels and advertisements are too powerful. Wang Lihong took advantage of the situation and firmly suppressed him in the mainland. This is also the basis for Sony to negotiate prices with China Mobile.
KTV was also anxious, which is why it was overjoyed after receiving the olive branch from China Mobile.
No matter how powerful Wahaha's ground marketing channels and advertising are, can they be more powerful than China Mobile, a behemoth?
China Mobile is also very satisfied. After all, Jay Chou is very popular and the endorsement contract is cheap, which is a win-win situation.
"This Sunday I will go to the capital to sing and shoot promotional photos and MVs. Do you have time? Let's get together on Saturday. It's been a long time since we got together."
After chatting, Jay Chou made an appointment: "China Mobile is taking promotional photos together. Xiao Yaxuan, Zhang Shaohan, and Sun Yanzi will probably be there too. It's just right for us to have dinner together."
"This Sunday... let me think about it, it should be."
"Okay, see you then."
After simply confirming the itinerary to avoid being empty-handed, Jay Chou hung up the phone after getting a positive answer. Sun Yanzi, who had already started to clean up the living room of the new house, straightened up and asked him to help.
"Help me, help me. I have to go to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal with Elva in a few days, and I won't have time to clean the house then."
Sun Yanzi, who was exhausted from just moving, looked at the messy things she brought with her, and her begging expression was quite pitiful.
She didn't know why she had so many things, even though she felt she had very few.
"You are the only one who has too many things." Zhou Yi, who was not forgiving in words, was very honest in body. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the nearest large cardboard box.
"What can I do? If I don't need to participate in the first two rounds of rehearsals like you, then I don't care."
Sun Yanzi, who stood with one hand on his waist, had a somewhat sour tone.
As a card in the mainland music scene, Zhou Yi already has some privileges in the Spring Festival Gala this year - a typical example is that he does not need to participate in the first two rounds of rehearsals. The reason given by CCTV is that the "China-Korea Song Festival" can be regarded as Zhou Yi's first two rounds of rehearsals in a sense.
Moreover, because the effect of "Young China" is very good, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala is now preparing to find 30 primary and secondary school students to stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and complete this song with Zhou Yi. At present, it is in the stage of selecting people, so Zhou Yi naturally does not have to participate in the rehearsal.
Sun Yanzi and Xiao Yaxuan's "Mom and Dad" are not so lucky. In order to prevent the program from being cancelled, the two can be said to be concentrating their energy and energy in every rehearsal.
Although Zhou Yi thinks that letting Xiao Yaxuan sing the song "Mom and Dad" is somewhat a hell joke, after all, the sister's father is a pure scumbag, which does not match the lyrics at all. Sun Yanzi is very suitable, with a happy family and a happy life.
As for why this sister took this song...
"I don't care, why not take it, it's good for me to go on the Spring Festival Gala, not to mention that Yanzi is with me."
January 11, Saturday
Xiao Yaxuan, who was pulled out of the promotional schedule by the mobile money ability, was invited to appear in the VIP booth reserved by Zhou Yi in the bar street. She smiled freely while biting a toothpick in her mouth: "I envy those who have a happy marriage. Do I have to get married? Don't you think so, Shaohan?" Sitting next to her was Zhang Shaohan, whom Zhou Yi had not seen for a long time.
"Everyone has their own way of life."
Compared to the past, Zhang Shaohan, who has gotten rid of the immature period of newcomers, looks in good shape and has become one of the best examples of popularity.
Zhang Shaohan, who was popular last year with the idol drama "Mvp Lover", has become one of the most popular female stars in Taiwan in a way that no one expected. In addition, her first album won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer. In Taiwan, her popularity has even surpassed the current number one of Fumao Records...
"Where's Jaylen? Hasn't he arrived yet?"
Sun Yanzi, who was chewing two winter dates in his mouth, raised his hand to check the time and spoke vaguely.
"There's a traffic jam on the road. It's probably still early."
Zhou Yi, who was leaning on the railing, lowered his eyes and looked at the rock band waiting to perform next to the stage downstairs. His attention was somewhat distracted. He almost didn't hear the old man who was familiar with him greeting him enthusiastically.
The pretty girl on the stage was still singing a song that had just become popular in the capital recently-
"You don't have to be too nervous. It's a little hard to be honest
"Perhaps perfection is an illusion to me
"I don't want to talk about the past. It doesn't matter if there are flaws
"I want your naturalness~"
The unique style and singing voice attracted the attention of the three girls who were chatting on the other side almost as soon as she opened her voice-
"What song? It sounds good. I haven't heard it before."
Xiao Yaxuan, who was swinging a toothpick in her mouth, stood up and walked to the guardrail. She looked down following Zhou Yi's gaze and asked curiously.
"Love Must Be Open and Honest", from Grammy Records, the singer seems to be called Xiaoxiao. "Zhou Yi very naturally took a grape from the small fruit plate in her hand and put it into his mouth.
On the booth, Sun Yanzi, who was just eating, blinked after seeing this scene, and paused. The cantaloupe in his hand suddenly felt a little stale.
"I haven't heard it yet. New album?"
"Yes, the album is called "Beautiful Angel".
"According to the information, singer Xiaoxiao is one of the victims after the collapse of Magic Rock Records. After the collapse of Magic Rock, she was signed by Thai Grammy Records, which entered the domestic market. The original song of this song is a Thai song. It was adapted into a Chinese version and was released not long ago. It is probably offline to increase popularity now."
Zhang Shaohan admired him a little.
No wonder Zhou Yi is so popular. He must not forget to pay attention to the trends in the music industry and new albums when he is resting. He will analyze them seriously if he thinks they are good. This spirit of hard study is indeed worth learning from each of us.
The company is right!
"From Magic Rock, what a pity..."
Xiao Yaxuan felt a little sorry when she heard the name of this record company.
Sun Yanzi followed suit and pretended to be casual and walked to the guardrail with a few pieces of cantaloupe. After looking down, her attention was attracted by the bands behind the stage who were dressed in exaggerated and enchanting clothes: "Are the people waiting in the back also from Magic Rock?"
You can't blame her for thinking so.
With the closure of Magic Rock, some young singers who have not yet debuted are really ignored.
And the configuration of these people is a rock band at first glance, which is in line with the style of Magic Rock.
"Oh, that's not it, that's a rock band in the capital, called Second Hand Rose. I didn't expect to see them here."
Zhou Yi shook his head.
He really didn't expect Second Hand Rose to get into this bar.
You know, because he walked out of here, this has become the bar street with the highest style, popularity and traffic in the entire capital, and even in the whole country.
Various frustrated musicians, singers, and newcomers would think about whether to try their luck here.
The Second Hand Rose band was established at the end of the last century and was recognized by bigwigs such as Cui Jian and Dou Wei. According to the rock scene, it was somewhat surprising that they would appear here.
"Is this... visual rock?"
Zhang Shaohan, who was watching, listening and chatting, frowned.
When the Rose Band came on stage, the performance made the three women in the booths stare at each other with their eyes wide open-
Fuck!
What the hell? !
At the entrance of the bar, Jay Chou, who was late because of the traffic jam, had just walked in and had not yet gone upstairs. He happened to pass by the area close to the stage and was startled by the sudden movement-the sunglasses in his hand fell off.
Looking closely, the lead singer on the stage was obviously a man, but he was wearing women's clothes, with disheveled hair and makeup like... a ghost?
"Allow some artists to get rich first..."
