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

Chapter 630: Mid-gate confrontation
“He is the favorite, but also the outcast;

“He was chased and exiled.

"He gained respect after weightlessness, and he gained more respect in the respect..."

Standing at the show scene with colorful ribbons flying all over the sky, I witnessed with my own eyes that those audience members who wanted to leave were attracted by Xiao Yaxuan's singing and stopped to listen. Somehow, this famous quote from "World Football·Bei Ying" automatically popped up in Zhou Yi's mind.

The song "Because of you" first broke through the circle and became well-known in China from this episode of "World Football". With the invincible narration full of emotion, and the superposition of the two major traffic of Manchester United and Beckham, it became an instant hit.

The only thing Zhou Yi could think of that could be compared to this piece of Beiying Wudi's copywriting was the episode about Henry -

"When the train of time slowly passed through the Emirates Stadium, the 32-year-old Henry was there. Looking over there with affectionate eyes, all I could see was the shadow of myself when I was 22 years old..."

This passage even became a standard sentence on the Internet for reminiscing about the past and lamenting the heroes' gray hair.

One Manchester United, one Arsenal.

A charming Beckham, a king of guns, Henry.

The two most popular episodes of "World Soccer" are also the two most widely circulated, most meme-creating and most vital copywritings.

It is no exaggeration to say that even in the era of mobile Internet, when the music of "Because of you" sounds, World Football will definitely be among the top comments with the most likes.

There is a sound coming out.

“This song has the same name as a song from your past album?”

Avril, who was once suppressed by Zhou Yi and ranked second on major charts, turned her head to look at the song title and the lyrics scrolling on the big screen, and asked a question while applauding.

She could recite the titles of the Zhouyi songs from that period by heart.

At one point, I dreamed about these songs every night.

As we all know, there are more than one chart besides Chart B. After she found that she couldn't make it on Chart B, she switched to other charts at the suggestion of her agency, hoping to get at least the first place.

What was waiting for her was a nightmare named Zhou Yi.

Different charts have different songs from Zhou Yi's albums that have been topping the charts, and his song "Because of you" is naturally among them.

"Yes."

"It seems like you have a special relationship with her."

Avril clicked her tongue twice.

Since it is a song with the same name, in her opinion it is obvious that Zhou Yi wants to use his influence to promote this song. Even the lyrics and composition of this new song are still written by Zhou Yi.

By then, many Zhou Yi fans who have watched the show will definitely be curious about this song with the same name and will search for it.

"This is called mutual help." Zhou Yi smiled and did not deny it.

After the song was sung, the show was over. Zhou Yi personally hosted a meal for all the guests.

Although "The Conan Show" is famous, it is undoubtedly impossible to invite so many big names as guests in one episode. Just coordinating the schedules is not an easy task.

They are all extremely busy, and they can only squeeze out a little time in a day to appear on a talk show. They don't care about the comparison of their status, and they all get friendly prices - needless to say, it's all thanks to Zhou Yi's face.

"Thank you all for your support, cheers!"

In the private club box, Zhou Yi raised his glass and took the initiative to express his thanks.

Human relations are interpersonal, there is a give and take.

Although she is a queen in the Chinese-speaking world, Elva Hsiao was very discerning and acted as an unknown wine pourer - after all, she was the only one in the audience who was not famous worldwide.

Although Cheng Long’s latest film “80 Days” failed at the box office, his popularity is still among the best in the world.

"Spike, let's work together someday!"

"no problem!"

Both the host and the guests were enjoying themselves as they drank and chatted.

While they were drinking and partying, many of the audience members who participated in the recording tonight could not suppress their excitement and commented on the content of this episode of "The Conan Show" on their respective social media.

David Koman, who watched the entire show, was one of them.

Although they, as viewers, cannot reveal the relevant content online before the show is broadcast due to the confidentiality agreement of the show, this does not prevent David Koman from giving endless praise to Zhou Yi - "He has changed the landscape of talk shows!"

This is a long article he posted on his personal blog, with interaction from his good brothers below, who told him not to forget to bring back Zhou Yi's autographed photo.

Originally, many netizens thought that this was just a group of Zhou Yi fans bragging, but as time went on, more and more people at the scene came forward to agree with David Koman's blog post, and the curiosity of the huge crowd of passers-by was really aroused.

"The Conan Show" has been running for quite some time. What kind of guests and scenes have they not seen?
Is it really that mysterious?
"I'll leave my name first. If it's not as amazing when it's aired, I'll come back and settle the score with you guys."

"You can tell at first glance that he is a die-hard fan of Spike, just like the die-hard fans of Janet Jackson, they only have eyes for their idol."

"What happened to you Spike? Janet Jackson, who is taking off her clothes, is worthy of this?"

"Fuck you!"

"..."

The first law of posting on Internet forums - there must be idiots in tall buildings.

When Xiao Yaxuan finished climbing the stairs, she was almost laughing to death: "No, how come your fans are so strong even abroad?"

When she was in China, she had seen the scene of Zhouyi fans fighting against 18 families. She could understand it, after all, it was the place where he started. But how could they still fight so vigorously abroad?

"Because I'm strong."

Zhou Yi, who was lying in bed in the hotel room, yawned and looked at Xiao Yaxuan who was sitting in front of the laptop. He grabbed her waist and said, "As for you, if you can't sell as well as Utada Hikaru, I'm afraid Yao Qian will ask you to go home and grow sweet potatoes."

"Screw you."

As soon as Xiao Yaxuan heard the Japanese woman's name, she immediately slapped the man's hand away and rolled her eyes at him.

"Taiwanese Utada Hikaru", the title given to her by her company when she first debuted, has now become the title she is most reluctant to admit.

There was no way. Back then in Japan, the so-called "Utada Hikaru's stand-in literature" by the Japanese media really made her very angry.

Damn it, when Zhou Yi played with her in Taiwan in 2000, Utada Hikaru probably didn’t even know who Zhou Yi was.

Now, obviously stimulated to speed up the album production, Utada Hikaru's first English album "Exodus" is scheduled to be released on February 2 this year.

Even though Utada Hikaru still had a contract with EMI in the Asian market, she chose a company under Universal Music to release her album in the United States, which undoubtedly angered some EMI executives.

Therefore, correspondingly, EMI Records has also scheduled the release of Elva Hsiao’s first English EP on February 2. The album is titled "Elva", which is her English name, and can be regarded as a self-introduction when she first entered the American music scene.

The main focus is on sniping in the middle door.

Of course, Xiao Yaxuan has Zhou Yi on her side, which is her biggest advantage.

"But then again, you invite so many people to your talk show. What will you do if you owe them favors?"

Allowing the man's hand to climb up again, Xiao Yaxuan, who had fallen, had her long hair spread over his body. She turned her head and looked at him and said, "Don't you hate owing favors the most?"

"I live in China, and no matter how good a foreign album is, it still needs popularity to bombard it."

Zhou Yi smiled and pinched his fingers a few times: "But I can't do it alone, I have to unite with others, and I have to give this favor."

After all, the American music scene is a place that has been developing and improving for so many years. Its news may not be bombarded all year round, but it must appear periodically.

Then collaboration with other singers becomes a shortcut to maintain exposure.

Why are there so many so-called big-name collaborations in the European and American music scene?
The reason is here.

For example, Linkin Park, who is also in Warner Music, has recently begun to try to mix Kanye West's works with their own works to make a new remix version in order to maintain their popularity, and then release it as a new song.

It's obvious that he can't get along with those naughty male singers, so there are only a few popular female singers who are barely okay.

................................................

"That's enough. I've said it before. We've broken up. Even if I really end up with someone else, it has nothing to do with you."

November 2, New York.

While on vacation, Shakira received a call from her fiancé, who is the son of the Argentine president. The questioning tone of the other party made her furious: "My career was almost ruined by you, an idiot, do you understand?"

"I--"

"I've said it before, I need a collaborator, and Spike fits my expectations very well. No matter what you say, I will invite him in the second half of this year."

After saying that, Shakira hung up the phone.

"Boss, the information you want has been collected."

After she calmed down, the assistant knocked on the bedroom door and brought in a document.

"The three-hour data for those two Asian female singers is here."

"Ah."

Shakira abandoned all complicated thoughts and opened the folder——

Elva (Xiao Yaxuan): "Elva" 928 hours copies;
Utada: Exodus, three hours, 3117 photos.

"The Conan Show hasn't even aired yet, is the gap that big..."

Shakira frowned.

I'm afraid many of these more than 900 tickets were bought for the lyrics and music by Zhou Yi, and more than 100 were bought by the live audience of "The Conan Show".

It is really hard for her to judge now what kind of data Xiao Yaxuan's song will gain after the official broadcast of "The Conan Show" tonight.

At the same time, major international record companies and local record companies in the United States and the United Kingdom have been keeping a close eye on the data of the two people's mid-gate sniping -

Thanks to the solidarity of Japanese Americans in the United States, Utada Hikaru, who was deified in Japan, had a significantly better opening trend than Hsiao Ya-Hsuan, who came from Taiwan and hung out with Zhou Yi. It was more than three times higher.

As time went on, it was clear that the Chinese pop diva Elva Hsiao encountered the same resistance as Zhe Tao did - but fortunately, with the blessing of Zhou Yi's name, although the album sales were still slow, they still sold more than 4500 copies in six hours.

This rate of growth has already surpassed that of the former "international queen" Li Wen.

But it is obvious that Xiao Yaxuan is not interested in this.

Thanks to the support of Japanese fans, Utada Hikaru's sales exceeded 1 copies in five hours, and her future looks bright.

“Our goal is to sell 20 copies during the album’s lifetime, and we are very confident of that.

"It's no secret that Utada is a talented person, and now is the time for her to bring her talents from Tokyo to New York."
