China Entertainment 2000

"My teacher has helped contact the theater's filming location and the singers of "Hua Tian Cuo", but your company will have to pay for this period of time."

"No problem. You may not know that Warner is short of everything right now, except for my little money."

Zhou Yi proudly raised his finger and pointed at the newspaper in the woman's hand: "This is my capital."

"So, it's a scandal?"

"That can't be said. To be honest, Elva Hsiao does covet me."

Zhou Yi, who took the newspaper and unfolded it, pointed to Elva Hsiao's profile picture posted on his head, and said seriously: "It's just that I don't think she is sincere enough, so I refuse it for now."

Hearing this, Cheng Hao suddenly raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "What kind of words are you using? I still covet you. You really think you are Tang Monk's meat. Even a woman wants to come up and take a bite."

"Then I feel that I am much more handsome than Monk Tang. Besides, Elder Tang's voice and smile are indeed more majestic and majestic, which is not the same as mine."

"..."

The voice, appearance, and appearance are all right.

Cheng Hao, who felt awkward, took back the newspapers and periodicals he had bought with money, and rolled his eyes at the man: "Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate with you in the MV?

"If I remember correctly, your final exam is coming soon."

"The exam is not urgent."

It was easy for Zhou Yi to pass the final exam of the law department. He was not nervous about it at all. Instead, he took out a box of tapes with exquisite cover packaging from his pocket and waved it in front of Cheng Hao: "Before this, , give you a gift first."

The Zhou Yi on the cover of the tape box looked handsome beyond the times. With just one glance, Cheng Hao, who was hit in the strike zone, looked surprised: "Your album tape has been released?"

"That's not the case yet. This box is just a collection that I specially made in advance. Many places are not perfect yet. After all, you have done me such a big favor, so it seems unreasonable not to give me something."

Zhou Yi handed the tape to Cheng Hao and said generously: "I'm afraid you're not short of money to give me money, but it's too tacky to give you a bag and a watch. After thinking about it, this thing seems to be more commemorative.

“The premise is that you can’t leak it, at least not before my album tape is released.

"After all, if I failed, this might be the only unfinished tape album I have for the rest of my life."

In the new millennium, tape albums have not been eliminated and are still one of the mainstream ways of distributing songs.

And compared with CDs whose mainstream prices fluctuate between 20 and 30 yuan, tapes worth more than ten yuan have lower consumption costs and lower usage costs, making them easier for the public to accept.

Of course, the price for pirated copies is even lower.

It is common for a box of tapes to sell for seven to eight or nine yuan, and a CD to sell for more than ten yuan.

Some unscrupulous pirates can even reduce the price of a CD to ten yuan, regardless of the quality, as long as you can listen to it. The truth is that it has opened the eyes of major music companies.

"Assuming you have a conscience, I didn't help you in vain."

Upon hearing that this was the only unfinished cassette album, Cheng Hao immediately accepted it with great satisfaction, with satisfied joy on his face: "Then when will your album be released?"

"July 1st, the first day of summer vacation."

Zhou Yi was full of confidence, and with a wave of his hand, he had the potential to conquer the world: "You will see how I will succeed in this summer vacation, which is the most competitive in the music industry every year."

As the prime time for album releases in the music industry, summer every year can be said to be the most popular day in the music industry, and it is also the day when competition is fiercest.

Lasting from May to September, if an album can make it out of this highly competitive period, it is very likely to create a winner-take-all situation, and it will rely on its high rankings to win in the coming days. Making money like crazy.

He had to prepare for the final exam in June, and he couldn't promote the album even after releasing it. Therefore, after discussing with Warner's general manager, he decided to set the album release date on July 1st.

Although the start date of summer vacation varies from place to place, there is no doubt that July is the beginning of summer vacation. This is also the stage that most stimulates fans' desire to buy.

Summer means hot and dry weather.

"Come on, defeat Ren Xianqi and Xie Tingfeng!"

Seeing the confident look of the man in front of him, the beaming Cheng Hao also shouted slogans.

As two generations of superstars at the turn of the century, the current Ren Xianqi and Xie Tingfeng can be said to be representative figures of Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Ren Xianqi, who once swept across Asia with "Heart Is Too Soft", was at his peak when he entered the new millennium. At the beginning of the year, he just released a new album "Walking for Love", which includes "Spring Flowers Will Bloom" and "I Can't Die". The first golden song, and a song called "Tianya" that can be called a king-level song;

And Xie Tingfeng, who has just participated in the Millennium Mainland Spring Festival Gala, has completed the challenge to Ren Xianqi in terms of popularity, replacing the four kings of Sunset Xishan, and has become the only one among Hong Kong singers who can compete with him. Thank you for your love 1999" has attracted countless fans.

And the mainland, the mainland has nothing.

When these two gods were fighting, the mainland media could only divide into two groups and stand around and shout.

"No problem, starting from July, I will be the top brother in the mainland music scene!"

Zhou Yi, who announced in advance that he was about to be crowned king in front of Cheng Hao, did not attract a sneer. Instead, he received encouragement from the former with a gentle smile——

"Okay, you have been the No. 1 brother in the mainland music scene since July. So, Mr. No. 1 brother, how do you feel about the success of your album?"

Cheng Hao, who clenched a fist with one hand as if interviewing, cooperated.

"Feelings? I don't have any thoughts. If I have to say..."

Zhou Yi, who was extremely arrogant in front of Cheng Hao - or rather naive, stopped and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "That means there is no one who can fight."

Cheng Hao, who acted as the audience again, immediately applauded and shouted "Hello".

……………………………………………………

Three days later, May passed and the midsummer of June officially arrived.

Zhou Yi, who returned to the Peking University campus alone, received a message from Zhou Jianhui, which was the summer vacation release plan of major record companies.

Zhou Yi's almost forgotten memories gradually became clearer with the album titles and songs on this list.

The Chinese music scene of the millennium has officially entered an era of transition between the old and the new. This summer, the Chinese music scene is about to usher in a brutal fight.

Lai Ming, one of the Four Kings of Hong Kong, released the album "BJ Station" at the end of May. The electronic dance song "More and More Organic as the Night Goes Over" in the album once again established his status as the prince of electronic music in the Chinese music scene;

On June 2, Zhang Xinzhe, the prince of love songs under Sony Music, released a new album "Faith" with the title song "Faith";

On June 5, Wang Lihong, a popular niche student under Sony Music with Zhang Xinzhe, released a new album "The First Day of Forever", an adapted version of the title song "Descendants of the Dragon".

In the view of people from Warner's market analysis department, this man who won the Golden Melody Award for Best Singer and the Golden Melody Award for Best Album Producer in 1999, and is the youngest double winner in the history of the Golden Melody Award, is undoubtedly Zhou Yi's Strong enemy.

At the same time, Warner also received a piece of news.

Xie Tingfeng, the most popular singer in China, has also set the release date for his second new album this year on July 1.

"Do you need to avoid the limelight, Zhou Yi? Xie Tingfeng's popularity is too high. He is releasing a Mandarin album this time." After carefully analyzing Xie Tingfeng's current advantages, Warner General Manager Zhou Jianhui suggested.

Even though there was some hype in advance, and Warner has been helping to maintain a certain amount of news presence, Zhou Yi has no foundation after all.

The market for young people is so big. If Xie Tingfeng eats more, others will lose one.

"No need, I have the confidence."

Zhou Yi, who insisted on getting a big share of the summer vacation, refused.

June 9th.

On the same day that Zhouyi's "Hua Tian Cuo" MV shooting started, Singaporean singer Sun Yanzi under Warner Music officially debuted with his own album of the same name "Sun Yanzi"!
