The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 461: Five consecutive peerless, on par with legends (th update!)
"Holy shit, shit, shit!"

"Zhou Yi, are you being a bit inhuman?!"

“How come Microsoft is on it?!”

"50 Cent, is he hinting at something???"

"..."

It's not just Japan. Night owls on the Internet in China, South Korea and other countries are all in an uproar at this moment.

Microsoft, a global giant in the technology industry, has almost dominated the domestic market with its Windows system. Although Microsoft still has a few rivals in office software, this does not prevent the company from becoming the most well-known foreign giant in China.

The highly targeted endorsement fee inevitably reminds people of Zhou Yi’s previous PPT that pioneered the global press conference.

"Your mom! Is she really the god of PPT???"

"This is too much, brother. Zhou Yi is really going to cooperate with Microsoft? Is his joke coming true???"

"Microsoft understands popularity. Zhou Yi is extremely popular in the United States. Many people in Europe are paying attention to it because many media are reporting on it. It seems that it also involves the racial discrimination of the former president of Sony."

"Zhou Yi is having an affair with the former CEO's mistress, so it's normal for him to be fucked."

"Don't just watch half of the news. People are getting divorced, and you're still holding on to it?"

"Didn't they break up? The one now is that blonde with big boobs, Scarlett."

"Michael Jackson has come out to stand in line, can anyone tell me who this is?"

"F*ck the King of World Pop!"

"..."

This heavy bomb directly caused Far Eastern netizens to lose sleep all night, and Europe and the United States, separated by the Pacific Ocean, also had a huge uproar -

In the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Germany and other countries, anyone who went online or read the news was extremely shocked by Microsoft's decision to cooperate with Zhou Yi.

As for the other party involved, 50 Cent was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he almost picked up a gun to challenge Zhou Yi and Bill Gates.

Fuck God Jesus Mary!
Isn't this pure bullying?!

Eminem and Dr. Dre pulled him back together——

"Hey! Calm down! Calm down Curtis! This is Microsoft, it's Microsoft! Do you want to die of suicide by being shot eight times?!"

Eminem, who is usually a hot-tempered boy, turned into a calm boy at this moment. He held down 50 Cent's muscular arms and kept roaring in a low voice: "Think about your luxury cars! Your mansions and your women!"

"Shut up! It's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist! How can I survive in the future if you keep doing this?!" 50 Cent didn't listen at all and forcefully pushed away Eminem, who was relatively thin compared to him.

"Eminem is right. Since Microsoft dared to make such an announcement, it means they have passed the risk assessment."

Dr. Dre, with a calmer voice, stated the pros and cons: "You've died once, I think you know the feeling of death better than anyone else. Do you really intend to give up all that money and girls?"

"..."

50 Cent, whose temples were throbbing with anger, fell silent.

"You can sue Microsoft for violating your image rights, but I think the company will avoid that option by re-drawing it. The only thing you can do is sue, let Microsoft see you, and eventually get money from Microsoft in an out-of-court settlement.

"I think Microsoft should have been ready a long time ago. As long as you persist, the money will be transferred to you."

As a shrewd businessman, Dr. Dre almost immediately thought of the most likely solution that Microsoft would take.

This is the optimal solution.

50 Cent fell into a long silence.

He fell into silence, but the American music scene did not fall into silence, and the world music scene did not fall into silence.

As a well-known global giant, Microsoft's participation in this kind of public welfare combined licensing is much better than the record companies tearing each other apart. The implication of this is that Microsoft should be on Zhou Yi's side for the time being.

At least that's the case during the three-year contract period.

“Microsoft’s PPT has only been launched for less than a year, and its market share is not high enough. They need a hot spot to thoroughly promote this software and let everyone realize how versatile and powerful this software is.

"It's obvious that Spike got this unexpected ticket with his PPT skills, which are probably the only ones in the world." "I have to say, this man is so strong that he even knows how to make PPT more beautiful than the developers..."

The readership mainly consists of people from the political, economic, educational and medical fields, financial tycoons and business managers, as well as stock market investors. The Wall Street Journal, which is subscribed by hundreds of corporate managers in the United States, reported on its own pages for the first time the possible impact of the cooperation between Zhouyi and Microsoft.

Especially for Microsoft.

The freshman's PPT became a perfect partner for Zhou Yi himself, and he became famous after that press conference.

The American record companies that had been trying to stop Zhou Yi were now completely desperate.

One, two, or three of them slumped over their desks, looking at the Wall Street Journal with lifeless eyes.

hang!
Something is wrong!

There is a fucking cheat!!!

In this world, the people who can provide the highest heat are always the fun-loving people and passers-by.

Microsoft's fate directly attracted the attention of people who had not paid much attention to this area before. When they listened to the song, they thought - hey, I have listened to (bought) this album before.

The huge influx of music fans even gave the clown 50 Cent a taste of the music, causing his single to rise rapidly in the radio rankings.

Madonna and other older generation pop stars who were powerless to turn the tide completely lost hope of catching up. Including 50 Cent, Eminem, Dr. Dre, a total of ten people were beaten to pieces by Zhou Yi alone!

On May 2003, 5, when the new Billboard rankings were released, the entire American music industry was forced to remain silent.

With Warner's deliberate arrangement of the chart, "We Are Young" topped the list with the attitude of "If we don't go crazy now, we will be old."

One album, five championship singles! Five consecutive titles!
At the same time, Zhou Yi's album "Forever Young" also broke the sales record of foreign singers in the United States in the past 700 years with sales of more than million copies in North America!
It can almost be said that in just two and a half months, the endless news and popularity have drained the album's sales potential in the domestic American market in the next few years.

On the 14th, faced with this ironclad fact, the New York Times used a rare front-page headline to report the incident:

"Chinese Music Superstars Brilliantly Top the U.S. Billboard Charts: A Gorgeous Peak That Creates History"

“This is a jaw-dropping achievement!

"A singer, a singer from China shines on the international stage!

"Spike, with his outstanding talent and musical charm, not only conquered the US Billboard singles chart, but also won five consecutive number one singles! Michael Jackson's remarks now seem more like a kind of mutual admiration."

The Washington Post used the title "Side by Side with the King of Pop" to describe the achievements of Zhou Yi's album.

"In the history of Billboard over the past few decades, there is only one man who has achieved five No. 1987 singles from one album, and that was Michael Jackson's album "Bad" released in .

"Since then, for 16 years, no singer has come close to this achievement, not even Michael Jackson himself.

"But now, Spike, a lion from China, has broken this record that had stood for 22 years at the age of 16!"

USA Today even used colorful photos and headlines to depict Zhou Yi kicking open the door to Billboard's Hall of Legends:

"One album, five championship singles, on par with legends!"

"The story that spanned a year came back to the starting point at this moment. Tommy Mottola, former president of Sony, became the biggest villain hiding behind the scenes in this Warner story.

“Michael Jackson accused him, Mariah Carey accused him, Spike allegedly accused him.

“He took it all on his own.

"50 Cent and Eminem became his stepping stones along with other music legends -

"Never bow your head, always hold it high with pride and look out to the world.

"Even though I encountered racial discrimination, even though I was suppressed during my first album, which resulted in only one song on an album that should have had multiple number one singles, I still don't know how to do it.

"Zhou Yi also uses the rock spirit promoted in his second album to tell us that we should never give up the pursuit and desire for freedom and equality.

“Because we are young!

“Because we are still young!

"This Spike album is destined to go down in pop history forever!
"He is already the youngest legend!"
