Chapter 49 Contemporary Music: The Purest Music

As we all know, you have to pay for covers.

It’s not just the copyright fee for purchasing a song, but also every performance and authorized use of a cover song. The money earned must be distributed to the original author in proportion.

Depending on the negotiation capabilities of both parties, this share ratio will fluctuate to a certain extent.

At this time, the benefits of relying on an international giant like Warner are revealed.

There was no need for Zhou Yi to personally engage in a tug-of-war with the Korean company representatives, Zhou Jianhui directly arranged a whole set of luxury negotiation teams for the Smectas with a wave of his hand.

As for Zhou Yi himself, after meeting with the representatives of the Korean company and exchanging friendly greetings, expressing his attitude that as long as he was sincere, everything would be easy, he was ready to return to the mainland for promotion.

Don't ask, it's just that it's so popular, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars every minute, that I really can't get around to exchange feelings with my Korean friends.

On August 15th, Zhou Yi, who was busy with the Baodao book signing, appeared at the promotion meeting for Elva Hsiao's new album in a very unexpected manner, which instantly caused the fans at the scene to scream.

The old scandal of Xiao Zhou was replayed in the minds of everyone present at this moment, especially when they saw Elva Hsiao giving him a "thank you" hug without hesitation at the press conference.

"Excuse me, Zhou Yi, why did you appear at Elva's album promotion meeting? Are you really dating?"

"First of all, I need to clarify that Elva and I are just friends, there is no doubt about it.

"Secondly, of course I am here because there is a song in her album that took away my first time. It is very memorable. Of course I have to help her stand up."

Faced with the reporters' criticism, Zhou Yi, who made a joke, continued to consolidate his character: "To tell you the truth, the song "One Person's Wonderful" is my first time participating in the MV.

"At that time, I hadn't started shooting the music videos for the songs in my album. Elva taught me a lot step by step on the set."

The popularity that Elva Hsiao once gave away for free has received unspeakable rewards today.

On the second day after the album was released, "One Person's Wonderful" directly entered the top ten of the major charts - ahead of her was "At least I Still Have You" by fellow Viking Queen Lin Yilian.

This is the gold content of Zhouyi!

"Your popularity is really terrifying."

Elva Hsiao's mansion.

Elva Hsiao, who specially opened a bottle of champagne, handed the glass to Zhou Yi, crossed her legs and sat on the large fabric sofa in the living room, exclaiming in surprise: "Originally, according to the company's arrangement, my song can even be on the list. It can't be so fast, after all, there is Lin Yilian in front of us."

As the leader of Virgin Records, Lin Yilian released "At least I Still Have You" at the beginning of the year. Although she did not participate in the previous marketing war, she has been making a fortune quietly and has been stable in the top ten.

Even after the smoke of the war cleared, the gold content of "At least I Still Have You" continued to increase, and its ranking continued to rise.

The same thing happened to Lin Ji-hyun's "Single Love Song" released at the end of last year.

"That's because there was no singer of my type in the Chinese music scene before, and I happened to reap the dividends of this market segment."

Hiphop is a popular element that can easily impress today's young people. In addition, his album also includes the modern R\u0026B song "Give Me Time for a Song" and the R\u0026B song "Hua Tian Tong" mixed with a dramatic style.

He's so handsome, it's unreasonable to tolerate him if he's not angry.

Is Tao Zhe handsome?

He is so handsome.

But this does not prevent his popularity at this stage from being explosive.

Zhou Yi has such good looks that he can even play in idol dramas, so it is not unreasonable to have such a crushing popularity gap.

No matter which era, appearance is the biggest plus point.

After Meteor Garden started airing, F4's popularity was a perfect reflection of the fact that appearance is justice.

Although Zhou Yi thinks that the only two handsome guys in F4 are Yan Chengxu and Zhou Yumin.

Elva Hsiao, who was sipping champagne, was noncommittal: "When will you return to the mainland?"

"The day after tomorrow. Why, do you still want to tie me up to help you run publicity for two days?"

Zhou Yi, who came back from the balcony, casually sat on an art chair, smiled and reached out to the fruit plate on the glass coffee table: "Do you know that my appearance fee is very expensive now?"

"Forget it, I don't want a breast massacre to happen at my autograph session." Elva Hsiao put down the champagne with a smile on her brows: "I just feel sorry for your fan."

"Don't you see that your ability to empathize is quite strong?"

Zhou Yi, who looked at each other without flinching, raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "What, do you want to criticize me?"

"In a sense, I am your dance teacher. I even taught you your "It's Me" dance."

Her hands left the sofa, and her body gradually approached Zhou Yi, Xiao Yaxuan lowered her eyes and looked at him: "Teacher, is there any problem with teaching students who make mistakes?"

Gradually getting closer and closer, the sound of even breathing hitting each other's cheeks was particularly clear in this quiet night.

Zhou Yi, who knew what he was asking, raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do, Teacher Xiao?"

"Sit up straighter, classmate Zhou Yi. Don't be so playful. If you don't sit up straight when you're a student, you'll be wary of having a hunchback in the future."

The light in the classroom was blocked by the curtains. Under the dim light, Zhou Yi had no way to escape due to the teacher's majesty. He could only sit on the chair and dare not move -

Commonly known as, sit in a chair and wait for the wall.

Elva Hsiao got her wish and opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Three days later, in the Mainland, there was an exclusive interview with "Contemporary Music Circle".

As the first magazine for trendy music in the mainland, "Contemporary Music", which is most popular among young people in the mainland, is undoubtedly a benchmark for the mainland entertainment industry in this era.

As the first person to conquer the Baodao music scene, after Zhou Yi returned to the mainland, the first publicity he wanted to receive was an interview with "Contemporary Music Circle".

During the month when he made waves in the Baodao music scene, countless mainland fans were eagerly waiting for the story behind Zhou Yi and how he did it.

“There’s actually no story behind me, I just record songs, shoot MVs, and release songs.

"I actually hope that people will only pay attention to my music instead of the scandals flying around, because they are somewhat exaggerated. Besides, I don't care much about scandals.

“In my heart, music is pure and is the bridge that best connects me with the audience.

"If you think it sounds good and resonates with you, that's my honor. On the other hand, you can also listen to other people's songs, it's the same.

"It's normal for me to be controversial. After all, I'm not money and I can't please everyone."

As Zhou Yi's exclusive interview was released, the cover of the latest issue of "Contemporary Music" was immediately printed with Zhou Yi's new look that is enough to charm thousands of girls——

"The biggest surprise in the Chinese music scene in the millennium: Zhou Yi's pure music." 》
