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

Chapter 827 Zhou Yi's Decline
"I didn't have to suffer this much when I was shooting Brokeback Mountain, Spike."

Anne Hathaway, who was really tortured by the tight leather jacket, took off the blindfold used as a prop as soon as the shooting ended. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, she would have wanted to take off the clothes and take a breath.

Especially the corset under the leather jacket, which almost made it hard for her to breathe.

The main reason is that it is summer and leather jackets are not breathable. Even if you apply powder on your body, you will still feel sticky and uncomfortable after long-term high-intensity shooting.

"I don't think your fans have ever seen this side of you."

Zhou Yi, who also took off his tie to let himself breathe a sigh of relief, rolled up his shirt sleeves, stood in front of the fan with his hands on his hips and smiled, "Just consider it a surprise, right?"

"maybe."

Anne Hathaway fanned herself with her zipper slightly unzipped. She was clearly in a more depressed mood. "But your speaking style is really different from Ang's. Before I met you, I thought that all Chinese people would have similar speaking styles in private."

Ang is Li An’s English name.

Because she was tired of being a "princess" and wanted to transform herself, she participated in the movie "Brokeback Mountain" directed by Li An.

"But one thing is certain, that is, Spike, you should like superhero comics? Marvel? Or DC?" Because of "Fantastic Four", Jessica Alba is more familiar with Anne Hathaway's leather jacket -

Because she also has to wear tights in the movie, but it's not as figure-enhancing as Anne Hathaway's.

Moreover, the most important thing is that in her opinion, the small plot of Zhou Yi's MV this time is actually a variation of the smooth little combo of superheroes against the US government. This is too familiar to her because she has read all the Marvel comics and past TV dramas because she is going to play "Fantastic Four".

"Of course it's DC. Don't forget that I'm from Warner."

Zhou Yi pretended to be helpless and spread his hands: "Although we have been separated for a long time, we are still connected."

Jessica Alba laughed mischievously: "Really? I thought you were going to say you liked Lee's The Hulk."

"I have no interest in the image of the Hulk. It does not fit my aesthetic concept."

If he really wants to watch Attack on Titan, he might as well watch Ultraman, although the two are not of the same type of work.

As for Li An's Hulk...

Let me put it this way, if it wasn’t for the subsequent “Brokeback Mountain” that saved him, the movie “The Incredible Hulk” would have caused his Hollywood career to plummet.

It was a huge loss, the kind that made Universal cry for help.

Anne Hathaway, who starred in Li An's film, couldn't help but understand the joke, but she couldn't refute it either.

After all, "The Incredible Hulk" was Li An's own Waterloo, otherwise he wouldn't have come back to shoot the literary drama "Brokeback Mountain".

"Anyway, I wish your new album will sell well, Spike. I'll be waiting for your celebration party in the U.S. when the time comes." Jessica Alba cunningly booked a spot for the celebration party. Anne Hathaway, who was watching, followed suit and offered her blessings and made an appointment to see each other in the U.S.

"No problem. I will definitely not open the champagne unless you show up for the celebration party." Zhou Yi was still very philanthropic. He even treated the unknown Megan Fox equally and did not leave her out when he joked.

This made Megan Fox feel warm inside.

It was really hard for her, a small person who was used to being bullied, to get the same respect and treatment as the two big stars next door from Zhou Yi.

After making a verbal agreement, the three girls who stayed in China for two more days were finally packed up and sent back to the United States by Zhou Yi on a private plane. However, when he was sending them back to the United States, the domestic music scene was in an uproar because of one thing——

The final shortlist for the 16th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards has been announced.

Because of this list, the fans of several music giants who were fighting each other, and even the Zhou Yi fans who looked down on everyone from a high position, were all furious.

Unpopular, unpopular, and still a fucking unpopular.

Even though Zhou Yi is so popular, his album "Hush" last year only received four nominations in this year's Golden Melody Awards.

Best Composition: "General's Order"
Best Lyrics: "Hair Like Snow";
Best Mandarin Male Singer: "Love Transfer";
Best Mandarin Pop Vocal Album Award: "Hush".

Gone.

As for Sun Yanzi, he was nominated for Best Arranger for "Silk Road".

Five nominations in total.

Another Golden Melody Award favorite, Jay Chou, only received three nominations - Best Mandarin Pop Vocal Album, Best Composition, and Best Mandarin Male Singer.

Leaving aside Wang Lihong and Zhe Tao who did not release an album last year, the top two Chinese-speaking sales figures in 2004 received a total of eight Golden Melody Award nominations.

Once this list was released, not to mention others, Zhou Yi's fans alone were enough to stir up a storm of public opinion.

"Are you kidding me?! Is the Golden Melody Awards really going to go down a deadly path?"

"Let's not talk about Jay Chou for now. Why did Zhou Yi only have four nominations? The fifth nomination was made up from Yan Zi."

"Stupid Golden Melody Awards!"

"Stupid Golden Melody Awards!"

"Who is Huang Lixing? Who is Chen Shani? Am I crazy or is the Golden Melody Awards jury crazy?"

"A big hit is doomed to fail? What's wrong with the Golden Melody Awards?"

"..." As the most watched Chinese music awards ceremony since the new century, the nomination list announced by the Golden Melody Awards this time has further increased the number of unpopular singers and songs nominated on the basis of last year's criticism.

It is precisely because of this that this thing is difficult for various fan groups to accept for a while.

Everyone thinks it’s fine that their idol lost to Zhou Yi, but where did these unpopular things like Niema come from?
Because Zhou Yi was not in China because he was sending someone to the United States, the reporters caught up with Sun Yanzi, who was working on her new album and attending a brand endorsement event, and asked for her opinion.

At this year's Golden Melody Awards, Sun Yanzi was nominated for two awards: Best Mandarin Female Singer: "Stefanie" and Best Mandarin Pop Album: "Stefanie".

This is the fifth consecutive year that she has been nominated for the Queen Diva award.

She was a runner-up in 2001 and 2002, and finally won the Best Singer award at the 2003th Golden Melody Awards in 14.
She lost to Wang Fei in 04 and was shortlisted again this year to compete for the Queen of Songs trophy.

"I have no problem with my personal nomination, but I think the Golden Melody Awards judges were biased in their selection of Zhou Yi this year. Zhou Yi's album last year was great, I have always thought so."

Unexpectedly, Sun Yanzi completely ignored the desperate blinking of manager Ji Shengshan in the distance, and said seriously with a stern face: "They have no idea what motivated Zhou Yi to insist on making a Chinese album last year. This is completely wrong."

My little aunt!

Ji Shengshan was numb.

Zhou Yi himself knows that last year’s album was too commercial and was designed for sales, so why are you still putting on a filter?

When asked about the Golden Melody Awards, Jay Chou simply avoided the question and did not give any answer, but his face looked dark.

Xiao Yaxuan: "They don't understand Zhouyi."

Xiao Yaxuan, who finally returned to Taiwan to rest, was even more merciless in a media interview: "Americans all know how great Zhou Yi's music is, but only we at the Golden Melody Awards don't understand."

Xiao Yaxuan, who has never submitted an application for a Golden Melody Award since her debut, was not afraid to comment on it. Anyway, her teacher Yao Qian is no longer working for the Golden Melody Awards.

"Golden Melody Awards nominations are a big surprise! Zhou Yi's album is only nominated for four categories!"

"Is his energy declining significantly? Zhou Yi has set a record for the fewest Golden Melody Award nominations since his debut!"

"The attitude is commendable, but Zhou Yi should probably think about the trade-offs. He can no longer take care of the creation of both the Chinese and English albums."

"..."

For other singers, the four individual nominations would be like opening champagne, but for Zhou Yi, they were a tacit decline - even Huang Lixing was stunned.

Not a buddy?

“Do these people at the Golden Melody Awards have cerebellar atrophy?”

On the private plane, after seeing the person off and having a two-day meeting with Edgar Jr., Qian Jiang, who was on his way back home, handed the newspaper in his hand to Zhou Yi, cursing.

Zhou Yi glanced at it and chuckled, not taking it too seriously: "It's normal. The Golden Melody Awards have always disliked commercialization."

It is an established fact that the Golden Melody Awards have increasingly favored niche albums and disdained commercial albums since 05 and 06.

Take Jay Chou as an example. At least he had some notable nominations this year, although he didn’t win any awards in the end. Next year, Jay Chou’s Golden Melody Award nominations for “Chopin in November” were zero.

Yes, you read that right. For the album "Chopin in November", Jay Chou himself did not receive any nominations at the 06 Golden Melody Awards and just won an O'clock award.

But "Qilixiang" and "Chopin in November" are still the commercial peaks of Jay Chou's personal career in the past two years.

This directly led to Jay Chou's complete break with the Golden Melody Awards. In 07, he personally announced that he would not attend and publicly criticized the Golden Melody Awards jury.

In fact, if Zhou Yi didn’t have fans in Taiwan who needed him to show up and protect, he would not even bother to attend the Golden Melody Awards.

"Counting the one from Yanz, can you win two awards out of the five nominations?" Qian Jiang has already lowered his expectations to the lowest level.

"That's bad. I don't think there is any."

Qian Jiang: "?"

"Really, don't lie to you."

Zhou Yi has a clear understanding of his album "Hush". Excessive commercialization must come at a price. He might as well just treat it as a trip to Taiwan and a fan meeting.

In fact, the chairman of the Golden Melody Awards later realized that the judges did not like excessive commercialization, and was forced to announce a change in the ancestral method by adding awards such as Best Single Producer and Best Song of the Year.

"It's meaningless to win an award, Lao Qian. After this year's Golden Melody Awards, start spreading the word that I'm going to quit the Golden Melody Awards."

Zhou Yi closed the newspaper, stretched himself, patted his agent on the shoulder, and revealed the decision that only Cheng Hao knew before, "After next year, I plan to withdraw from all domestic award ceremonies."

——? !

What the hell!

Look at what the Golden Melody Awards did?!

You guys have hurt Zhou Yi's heart!
You know that this is a crime that deserves death?!
