Chapter 427 Is This Guy a Succubus?

If this album still can't handle the racial discrimination storm he directed, Zhou Yi feels that he can just jump into the Yellow River and start over.

Coldplay wandering in the universe, Dream Dragon flying in the sky; Republic running on the highway and Gobi, Maroon 5 roaming in the city.

These are the nicknames that Chinese fans will give to these four bands in the future.

Although these four bands have been criticized for becoming more and more popular, Maroon 5 was even considered a pop band after the release of its third album, but this is only relative to their positioning when they debuted-

Zhou Yi's own debut positioning is a pop singer, so there is no such accusation.

In order to maximize his reputation, he can almost be said to have grabbed all the classic masterpieces of these four bands in this album. Nearly half of the songs in an album are at the level of Billboard champion singles, and all the songs in the album are global hits, which is even more excessive than the previous album "Attitude Show".

Not to mention the first single from Fun Band to end.

Of course, the waste is even more excessive.

If there is a normal music producer to make this album, these ten songs can be split into four albums, if not five.

If there is a demanding and meticulous person, it may be split into three albums, with three to four songs on each album - such as Linkin Park in Warner.

Linkin Park's new album "Meteora" to be released at the end of March this year has three hit songs: "Numb", "Somewhere I Belong", and "Fain".

In other words, Zhou Yi has absolute autonomy over his own album, otherwise those knowledgeable people in Warner will 100% force Zhou Yi not to do so.

In fact, many people in Warner's senior management regretted last year's "Attitude Show" - songs such as "Baby", "Good time", and "Yeah" all had the potential to win the B-list singles in Warner's view, but in the end only "Yeah" won the B-list singles for twelve consecutive weeks.

This is also Zhou Yi's only B-list champion single so far, which is the result of internal friction in the album songs.

As a result, this year's second album almost gave those knowledgeable music businessmen in Warner a brain hemorrhage.

If the first English album only produced a single that topped the B charts, it was a serious waste. Then in their opinion, the second album "Forever Young" should be dragged out and played with Ding Ding 100 times in the hope that he would change his mind.

A waste of talent!

An absolute waste of talent!

Of course, even with the confidence brought by the internal controversy of the company, Qian Jiang, who has never dealt with such a big market as racial discrimination, is still a little worried.

"Not too good news, you have relatively little support in the Western world now, Yi."

As we all know, Asians have the lowest status in the European and American world, and even blacks can step on them. Zhou Yi's actions are undoubtedly raising the banner of resistance.

But judging from the current public opinion, the attitude of those high-Chinese groups who have a certain status in the European and American world towards Zhou Yi has exceeded Qian Jiang's expectations to some extent. Only a part of them who still consider themselves Chinese and Chinese people have expressed their support, and that's all. The others are silent.

Or, they are all just watching from the sidelines.

"It doesn't matter, I don't rely on them."

Zhou Yi chuckled: "I didn't count on this group of people from the beginning. I counted more on those saints, saint bitches and young people with conscience who were brainwashed by the rhetoric of freedom and equality and who were indignant about injustice."

Thanks to the face-saving projects that Europe and the United States have been constantly whitewashing, there are still many people in Europe and the United States who believe in the so-called fairness and freedom. This group of people still has a lot of votes, which is the main force fighting for him.

What's more, most of his fan group portraits are young people, which is extremely easy to incite.

Fortunately, it is 2003 now. If it were 2023, he would have to wear a few more three-level armor and tie a rainbow scarf on his hand to incite his fans.

When the influence of this album ferments, let alone other things, in the European and American world in the next 20 years, more than 80% of the young people will grow up listening to the songs in his album. He will become the first Chinese singer with the label of "sentiment" in the United States.

As for how the incitement will end, it is none of his business. He is just a pitiful, weak and helpless little singer. It is enough for him to release an album that lives up to the expectations of fans.

Besides, putting aside the facts of the matter, is it his fault that racial discrimination in Europe and the United States has become a disaster?

"Isn't it?"

Twenty-three minutes later, Zhou Yi's house.

The woman who was lying on the sofa in a big letter shape couldn't help but raise her head after hearing the man's "shameless" speech - the messy short hair immediately disturbed her sight.

After subconsciously pouting and blowing her hair upwards, Sun Yanzi raised her eyes and looked directly at Zhou Yi who took off his coat and poured himself a glass of water: "My original plan was to take advantage of this period after the New Year to have a good vacation and visit countries such as the UK and New Zealand.

"What happened now? I started working on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and I haven't even had time to go back to Singapore yet."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Zhou Yi gloated at her and said, "Also, can you please not lie down in my house at night? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I brought someone back?"

"You've been recording songs since the New Year?" Sun Yanzi looked him up and down suspiciously, "You didn't kidnap the girl from F.I.R?"

Because the second English album was all pop and rock songs, for speed, Zhou Yi directly mobilized Warner's money power and pulled Wang Feng, F.I.R, who had not yet debuted, and Wang Feng's former Baojiajie band members to help him complete the instrument recording progress.

As the top brother of Warner, he did not treat his company's younger brothers badly. He gave everyone a super-high salary of 300,000 RMB, which was the most generous person in the entire Chinese music scene.

Even so, his album budget has not been spent yet.

With the PY deal already reached with Zhou Jianhui, the initial budget for Zhou Yi's second English album was set by the Asia president at $3 million.

In 2003, when 5 million RMB for an album was considered luxurious in the Chinese music scene, the production cost of Zhou Yi's album was undoubtedly at the Zenith level, starting at more than 25 million RMB.

It can't be spent, it can't be spent at all.

In the entire Warner, including the head office, only Linkin Park and Zhou Yi's album production costs can reach this level. Of course, Madonna is not included, she is already an outsider, and has become a partner of Warner.

Although she had completely fallen out with Warner because of the corruption in the operation of Mavericks Records a few days ago, Zhou Jianhui said that the lawyers went to Mavericks to collect evidence, and if things go well, they will go to court next year.

"Fuck you, I have a boyfriend, I won't do this kind of thing."

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at her: "Why are you here so late at night instead of resting at home?"

"Of course I'm complaining."

Sun Yanzi, who looked bitter when she mentioned this, complained: "Super Star became popular too quickly. Chen Zeshan asked me to seize the opportunity to consolidate and promote the popularity. I have participated in offline promotion activities of China Mobile these days, and I have almost run all over the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region."

As a new brand that China Mobile attaches great importance to, the launch of M-Zone is naturally not sloppy.

Because Xiao Yaxuan and Zhang Shaohan are still in Taiwan, Sun Yanzi's direct exposure in the mainland has increased greatly.

If it were Zhang Shaohan, she might not complain, because she just wants to be as popular as possible.

But for Sun Yanzi, who has not returned home since the Chinese New Year this year, she misses her parents and sisters.

Even the time for the Chinese New Year is squeezed, and she is persuaded with all kinds of reasons not to go home. It is difficult for Sun Yanzi not to complain. It would be fine if this was stipulated in the mobile promotion activities, but it was not.

The promotion activities stipulated in the mobile contract should not start until the end of February to cooperate with the overall launch of the M-Zone brand. Now this is all Chen Zeshan's job. In three days, she did four offline events, recorded a program, and shot two magazines.

This intensity would make a donkey shaking its head.

Sun Yanzi, who rolled back and forth on the sofa with his hands on his head, regretted it now, very much-

It's not that he didn't want to sing this song, but why he didn't take a plane to leave the capital like Xiao Yaxuan on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

If she had returned to Singapore to reunite with her family on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Zeshan would never have been able to catch her;

If Chen Zeshan hadn't caught her, there wouldn't have been such a hellish itinerary. If there hadn't been such a hellish itinerary, she would probably have started her scheduled vacation trip by now...

"It's all your fault! You said you'd take me to experience the Chinese New Year. Now, I can't leave at all. You have to take responsibility!"

"Didn't you have so much fun here that you pushed it back for two days?"

As for Sun Yanzi's scapegoating, the white lotus Zhou Yi directly threw the pot back, choking the latter so much that he couldn't say a word. He could only vent his anger in his forehead, screaming and using his hands and feet to express his imbalance in his heart——

Zhou Yi easily suppressed it with one hand.

"No more playing, no more playing, it's boring."

Sun Yanzi, who surrendered when he couldn't win, panted slightly, leaned back on the sofa, grabbed a pillow and hugged it in his arms-

The messy short bangs spread in front of her forehead. While closing her eyes to rest, she didn't forget to raise her right index finger to point at the man, and said weakly: "Next time, I'll give you some medicine to make you lose the ability to resist."

"Are all Singaporeans so evil?"

Feeling the vibration of his phone, Zhou Yi laughed and teased, while speaking, he took out his phone and glanced at it-

Li Yinxin's text message.

[I heard that you were suppressed in Europe and the United States, racial discrimination? Guess what help I got you in the United States? 】

"?"

………………………………

United States, New York.

Samsung's little princess Lee Yoon-hyung put down her phone and smiled. She immediately touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, hummed the tune of "Baby" happily and walked out of the bathroom.

"Hyeong, where have you been?"

In the villa, the daughter of a Wall Street financier looked at her returning friend curiously.

"Are you going to congratulate Spike?" Another white woman with big brown waves teased, "Are you sure you just want to help your family get his mobile phone endorsement?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Lee Yoon-hyung shrugged noncommittally, "I just want to help my family."

As the most beloved youngest daughter of Samsung's helmsman Lee Kun-hee, she directly took over hundreds of millions of dollars of shares in some family companies when she became an adult. It seems reasonable for her to want to help her family get endorsements.

"Haven't you always been uninterested in this area?"

"I'm really not interested. Didn't you see that I didn't go home when I wanted to find a job? I went straight to Yahoo."

Li Yinxin, who has set her sights on the Internet, will officially join Yahoo in April after the new year, which is somewhat surprising to many people.

In fact, on Wall Street, the Lee family of Samsung is more or less capable.

Over the years, many people have wanted to end the Lee family's absolute control over Samsung, but in the end they all failed. Finally, after several considerations, Wall Street even supported the equally ambitious Lee Boo-jin to compete with Lee Jae-yong.

Then Lee Boo-jin, who had taken a lot of resources from Wall Street, was sent to the margins by Lee Kun-hee...

This somewhat dumbfounded some people in Wall Street. The key point is that Lee Boo-jin, who was sent to the margins, is still using this layer of skin to try to expand the power in her hands...

For a while, they couldn't even tell whether this father and daughter were acting to trick Wall Street or whether Lee Boo-jin was really inferior to others.

At this critical moment, Li Yinxin did not stay at home but went to work at Yahoo through the exchange of interests, which made many people wonder what the old man Li Jianxi was up to.

Especially she was so concerned about a singer.

Using her connections, Li Yinxin directly organized a meeting and invited many children from the Grammy judges' families. She started public relations step by step from the people around her. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was really working hard to win the award for Zhou Yi.

"Where did this Samsung Li come from?"

At Eminem's house, Eminem, who had already sensed that the situation was getting out of control, put down the newspaper that was fanning the flames and looked at his agent with a frown and asked.

He knew that Samsung was a big group. Even if it was the American Samsung, it was not an unknown company. Various products also had great sales in the United States. But the key question was how did your mother Zhou Yi know the daughter of the helmsman of such a big conglomerate?

"From the information, they met in December last year when Spike led his team to Korea to participate in the China-Korea Song Festival."

"Are you sure it was the Samsung Group's idea? Or is it just the personal idea of ​​this woman Li something?"

Eminem's expression was extremely solemn at the moment.

If Warner's original public relations for the Grammys with its partners was only 1, then the effect of Samsung Group joining in would be more than just 1+1=2.

Many industries under Samsung are also sponsors of the American entertainment industry, and some of them are even big sponsors.

The appearance of this Li Yinxin undoubtedly brought a risk of breaking the balance.

"It's not certain yet."

"Damn it! How the hell does this guy know how to rely on women to get to the top every day!"

Eminem cursed from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Yi first became famous in the United States because of his quarrel with Mariah Carey. As a result, the heat of the quarrel he started was taken over by Zhou Yi, who had just arrived. Mariah Carey even personally supported Zhou Yi, making him lose face.

He was just about to get back at the Grammy Awards, so why is there another daughter of a consortium using her connections to help him?

"Is this guy a succubus?"
