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

Chapter 716 I surrendered before you surrendered
"Hurry, hurry, where are the people?! Where are the people!
"Urgent deployment of personnel, hurry up!

"I don't want to hear any bullshit about authority control. I just know that if something unexpected happens on the scene, I will be in big trouble!"

Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport.

In the office, the person in charge didn't want to hear any bullshit explanations at all, and insisted on sending more people to maintain order outside the airport.

All because of that man's arrival.

If Zhou Yi was just a famous singer in France before, then after the release of his third English album, the song "Happy" directly made him a national idol in France.

Although Zhou Yi himself did not attend the French chart event, the song "Happy" has been on the rise since its release, riding on the heat of the initial Anglo-French battle and soaring to the top of the French singles chart in just half a month.

No matter how popular other songs in Zhou Yi's album are, or even top the charts in other European and American countries, there is no way to shake the dominant position of this song on the French singles chart. Even "boom boom pow" has never done that.

This is unexpected.

You should know that even though Zhou Yi’s albums have been number one in France in the past two years, there has never been a monopoly like this year’s "Happy".

In the United States and the United Kingdom, you can see many familiar figures fighting on their respective singles charts, and even Zhou Yi himself is "killing each other". Only in France, the data of the song "Happy" is disjointed from other songs.

Really, you are all here to compete for second place.

It reached the top of the charts within just two weeks of its release, breaking the record for the fastest number one single in France. It also sparked a "happy" craze in cities across France, with countless French people scrambling to imitate Zhou Yi's casual dance in the MV when they gathered.

It is even so popular that many guests on French shows will actively cue this song and make recommendations.

When Zhou Yi was still fighting with Eminem in the United States, the French music scene had already raised the white flag to him - it didn't even last three weeks and surrendered.

The song "Happy" swept the French music scene and brought them fear like a big devil.

No one at Warner can understand it.

Although this song is indeed popular, why are the data so strong compared to the second fault?

Qian Jiang was very confused, but Zhou Yi just smiled and said nothing after getting off the plane.

Just kidding, "Happy" is jokingly called the "second national anthem of France", are you kidding?
In other countries, the longest a single can stay at the top of a chart is maybe twelve or thirteen weeks, but it was different in France. It stayed at the top for half a year.

Yes, half a year.

A solid half year.

This is a terrifying existence that directly broke the record for the number of weeks a single has stayed at the top of the French singles chart, so much so that the song has been jokingly called the second national anthem of France.

That year, this song filled the streets of France.

To the extent that the French media themselves were complaining about what was going on in their own music scene and how an American singer's songs could dominate the charts in France for so long.

Zhou Yi doesn't know if he can replicate this terrifying achievement of dominating the charts for half a year, but judging from the data, he should be able to at least stay on the charts for ten weeks, which should also be able to refresh his personal record for number one singles in the French music scene.

After cooperating with the airport security personnel to take the fast track out of the airport, Zhou Yi, who was surrounded by bodyguards, also witnessed the enthusiasm of Paris, the romantic city.

In an era when LGBTQ had not yet fully emerged, his fans were obviously not as crazy as those in the Smurfs era, and both men and women were very normal.

"Spike! je t'aime! (Spike! I love you!)"

"Spike, tu es très bon! (Spike! You're the best!)"

"Spike! I love you!"

"Spike..."

After he officially showed up, the fans who had been waiting outside Charles de Gaulle Airport early because they knew he would land at this time were so excited that a lot of French mixed with a little English flooded into his ears.

Zhou Yi had learned the simplest French phrases like "I love you" and "You're awesome" before coming here. After all, they are for making money, so they are not shabby.

But he couldn't understand the messy French sentences at the end - they were speaking too fast, and it was completely unclear what they were saying. The noise was so loud that the translator didn't know which sentence to translate for him. Zhou Yi, who was famous for his French words "thank you" and "I love you", didn't rush to get on the bus. Instead, he signed autographs and took photos with fans. His long stay directly caused the flow of people to block the surrounding entrances and exits.

Charles de Gaulle Airport was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, they had made preparations in advance and arranged a separate exit for Zhou Yi to come out.

Obviously, this is to strengthen their management and security capabilities.

With Zhou Yi's current international attention and influence, if anything were to happen at the airport, he would be embarrassed to the whole world the next day.

The airport still attaches great importance to its reputation, at least it must not bring disgrace to Charles de Gaulle's name.

Today, Zhou Yi is not only a well-known international friend, but also a walking opinion maker.

Cadillac is obviously very sensible. The SUV models they provided to Zhou Yi's team for promotional activities and events in various countries all have sunroofs, which makes it convenient for Zhou Yi to stand up from the inside after getting in the car, lean half of his body out on the roof, and constantly wave to thank the fans who are chasing him on both sides of the road.

This brought a little shock to the Paris music scene which had been silent for a long time.

To put it bluntly, Paris hasn't produced such a popular world superstar in a long, long time. Even Madonna can't compare to her when she comes to Paris.

"Three days ago, the Journal du Dimanche (Sunday newspaper) selected the 50 most popular celebrities in France, and Spike's ranking has risen significantly compared to last year.

"In the voting among the 15-25 age group, Spike defeated the French singer Florent Pany, who debuted in the s, and the rock star Jean-Jacques Goldman with a crushing advantage and topped the list.

"The difference of 13,000 votes is simply unimaginable..."

When the French TV station was broadcasting the footage of Zhou Yi arriving in Paris, there was a hint of disbelief in the host's tone.

Florent Pany and Jean-Jacques Goldmann are the two highest representatives that France can currently bring forward to compete with Zhou Yi in terms of popularity and status. Although they are Zhou Yi's seniors in terms of debut age, they still lost so thoroughly.

We can't let the aging French Elvis Johnny Adeli come out to compete. He doesn't have much appeal among young French people today.

As for the younger generation, that’s even more nonsense.

There are at least some people in the American and British music scenes who can compete with Zhou Yi. Although the whole world knows that Eminem lost after this battle, at least he has proved that he is capable of competing with Zhou Yi.

Even Canada can have its own Avril Lavigne.

What about the French music scene?
Nothing at all.

He raised the white flag to Zhou Yi very early on.

Not only did they choose to kneel down and surrender to Zhou Yi, but perhaps because of the previous "Anglo-French War", Zhou Yi had a pretty good relationship with the French media -

"Charles de Gaulle Airport is congested because of him!";
"Young People Who Should Learn from Spike"
"Ten pieces of advice from Spike for young people";
《The supreme new generation music emperor has arrived in Paris! 》

The new generation of French son-in-law? Spike is in love with the new French goddess Eva Green

"..."

In the United States, Britain, Germany, and even Italy, Spain and other countries, when medium and large media reported Zhou Yi's title of "Music Emperor", they all used the prefix "Asia".

Only France, this time, was unique and gave the greatest respect to Zhou Yi, a man who quickly became famous in the French music scene in two weeks with three special releases.

《The Music Emperor of the New Century! 》

Don’t ask, the answer is that he was beaten into submission.

They dominated France for three consecutive albums, and even speedrunned the third one. Who could resist that?

Anyway, the French can't stand it.

Don't act like a big shot in the American and English music scene. Everyone has been screwed. What's there to laugh at? Be honest. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

I am so honest in France!
