Chapter 353 The most special one

"Is Warner crazy?"

"Is Zhou Yi crazy too?"

Yinghuang, Huo Wenxi's office.

Huo Wenxi, who was always paying attention to the situation, frowned, put down the tabloid at hand, and looked extremely solemn.

After working hard in this industry for so many years, she smelled something was wrong almost immediately - Warner stirred up so-called oppositional emotions at this time. It was hard to tell whether he really wanted to take advantage of her.

"Sister Mani, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? Is something going to happen?"

Although they knew that Warner must be behind this kind of news at this juncture, due to lack of experience, the two Twins people couldn't figure it out for a long time, so they could only turn to the almighty broker.

"Warner's ambitions are too great. They probably want to take this opportunity to let Zhou Yi dominate the top ten radio stations."

Even Huo Wenxi, who is good at hype, could not help but take a breath at this moment, secretly thinking about the possibility of Warner's success in doing this.

"W-what?!"

Asa, who claims to have seen the world, opened his eyes wide in surprise and opened his mouth in surprise: "This is impossible! Radio Hong Kong cannot allow such a thing to happen!"

Radio Television Hong Kong is the only government radio station in Hong Kong. In a sense, it is the purest official force.

"So it's Metro Radio. Warner's main battlefield should be Metro Radio."

Huo Wenxi's face was extremely solemn: "You two should not appear in public for now. In addition, tell other artists in EEG not to express any comments on this matter. I will go to the boss to discuss the situation."

The twins looked at each other.

The last time they saw Huo Wenxi showing such an expression was when Xie Tingfeng was arrested.

"Okay, got it."

Seeing Huo Wenxi leave resolutely, the two sisters held the door frame and watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor corner. They exchanged glances with each other and immediately slipped out.

On the way to find her boss Yang Shoucheng, Huo Wenxi unexpectedly met her competitor - Gan Jingjing, the head of Yinghuang Music Plus department.

“Yinghuang’s music department is divided into two parts – EEG and Music Plus.

"The person in charge of EEG is Huo Wenxi, and the person in charge of Music Plus is named Gan Jingjing, this old woman wearing glasses."

Warner (Hong Kong), Zhouyi Lounge.

Qian Jiang, who was holding a stack of information to introduce the biggest obstacle to this operation to Zhou Yi, pointed to a photo and said:

"These two departments have their own ace singers, covering all types of singers from powerful ones, idols to newcomers. Like Huo Wenxi, she is the manager of Xie Tingfeng, Twins, Rong Zuer and others you are familiar with;

"As for Gan Jingjing, the singers under her are Wang Jie, Chen Yixun, Chen Guanxi, Zheng Xiyi and others..."

Zhou Yi, who placed the fingers of his right hand on the side of his cheek, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wang Jie? Then isn't she and Huo Wenxi a mortal enemy?"

"Not really, Huo Wenxi keeps pushing her down."

Qian Jiang shook his head: "But this woman's power network is very strong, especially on Hong Kong Commercial Radio. At the same time, Huang Jiantao, the senior executive of Xinyibao Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music (Hong Kong), is married to her."

"A company owned by Universal?"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows. Eminem's new movie "8 Mile", which was popularized by dissing him, is from Universal Pictures.

In other words, the executives of Universal Records, which are brother companies to Universal Pictures, will definitely be able to find out what is happening immediately.

"It's no use even if they know what's going on now. The mood and rhythm have been set by us. Now is the time when people are excited. Anyone who dares to say one more objection will be immediately labeled as a traitor by us. The price on their reputation is something they cannot bear."

Qianjiang, who followed Zhou Yi's suggestion to expand the operation, can now be said to be very proud of himself - damn it's so cool!

Why didn't I realize that marketing could be done like this before? It had to be Ayi.

"In your album "Lianshan", the song "Cheers" that is expected to reach the top ten is also..."

In order not to cause Zhou Yi to misunderstand, Qian Jiang gave him a vaccination in advance.

It’s definitely unrealistic that all eleven songs in “Lian Shan” are in the top ten of the list. Among other things, his album’s “Can you feel my world”, “Ghost”, “In the Name of the Father” 》It is absolutely difficult for these three songs to break into the top ten.

If it weren't for Zhou Yi's popularity, it would be difficult to see whether these three songs could break into the top 30.

It is unacceptable for Warner to try hard to consume a lot of promotional resources but in the end it is very likely to fail.

As for "Killer", its market performance was not as good as those songs on Zhouyi's B-side, and after comprehensive consideration, it was removed from the list by Warner.

"Don't worry, I still know what can and cannot be flushed."

Zhou Yi smiled and put down the materials at hand, crossing his fingers in front of his lips: "The four songs on Side A were originally written to deal with music critics who want musicality. Even "In the Name of the Father," which I value most, I also knew it was not going to do any better on radio."

Later generations will always have a saying that when "In the Name of the Father" started to be used as the title song on the charts, more than 800 million people across Asia listened to it, and it also had a Jay Chou day. The key is that there are quite a few people who believe this.

This is just like the ridiculous "Top Ten Geniuses in the World", the brainwashing package released by Chun Chun Ledi has been taken into the brains of many idols as truth.

The simplest point is that since "In the Name of the Father" has been listened to by more than 800 million people across Asia, why is it not named on any radio list?

No matter what the summary of the list is, if you look through the list from beginning to end, you will still not be able to find the position of "In the Name of the Father"——

Even in the Golden Melody Award for Best Arrangement that year, "In the Name of the Father" lost to "Prague Square".

What's even more confusing is that "Sunny Day", which many so-called Jay Chou fans say was not popular at all in the past, is actually the one that is firmly at the top and second runner-up in major charts.

If it weren't for the winner-take-all Jay Chou who stretched his crotch until the eyesight of the mobile Internet era, forcing new fans to search for songs from his previous albums, the song "In the Name of the Father" would not have become a hit at all. Chance--

This song was so ahead of its time.

Facts have proved that after Warner began to concentrate resources on promoting the ten selected songs, the data of unselected songs such as "In the Name of the Father" dropped very quickly on the daily radio charts.

Other record companies in Hong Kong are not vegetarian either——

At 10:08 a.m. on the 24th, local Hong Kong record companies such as Zhengdong Records, Shanghua Records, and Xinyibao Records, which were acquired by Universal, stood up immediately to help Chen Yixun of Yinghuang Ganjingjing——

Chen Huiling, the ace of Zhengdong Records, Zhang Xueyou, the singer of Shanghua Records, the popular queen of Xinyibao Records, and Yang Qianhua, who is nicknamed the fat version of Sun Yanzi, all appeared on the list!

At 13:00 sharp, EMI's Liu Hua was pushed by the company to rejoin the battlefield. It was rare that he and Zhang Xueyou were in the same frame again and began to compete for chart data;

At 14:30, Wang Fei, who had transferred to Sony Records, was also pushed out by Sony. The collection "You Wang Fei, So I, Wang Fei" released in May already included a large number of Wang Fei's past hits. On Sony Due to the strong promotion, golden songs such as "Kaidao Tumi" and "Fable" have started to hit the charts again.

If it weren't for the fact that this year's collection of new songs and collections "Encore" by Jung Chung-kee wasn't too crotch-stretching, he might have been pushed out to get his head shot.

"Two of the past Four Heavenly Kings have emerged, and there is Wang Fei, Gongzong Lin... Oh my god, why do so many singers' songs suddenly jump up on the charts?"

Fans of Zhouyi and other singers who woke up were somewhat confused when they saw the changes in the charts of Hong Kong's three major radio stations, especially Metro Radio's daily ranking data - what's going on?

These songs weren't ranked so high yesterday, right? This is almost in the top ten——

Oh no, Wang Fei, who has a huge fan base, has already had two selected old songs in the top ten, excluding Zhou Yi's two singles "Cheers" and "Little Dimple".

Huo Wenxi, who chose to sit on the sidelines and watch from the sidelines, kept venting the pressure in her heart with a rare bite in her mouth——

She rejected the words handed over by the older generation of "talkers" and did not lead her singers to choose to challenge.

"Are you crazy? These people can basically be said to be half of the current Hong Kong music scene. How can you beat them alone?"

Warner.

After Zhou Yi hung up the phone calls from Sun Yanzi, Elva Hsiao, Fan Bingbin, Zhou Xun, Jay Chou, Zhang Shaohan and others, he unexpectedly received a call from Cai Desiyan——

The other party's unbelievable words made Zhou Yi couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "So? I am still half of the mainland music scene. Everyone is half of the country. Who is afraid of whom?"

"Is this the same thing?" Cai Zhuoyan was confused.

"Don't you always want to be famous? Asa, let me teach you a method that will definitely make you famous."

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the busy traffic below, Zhou Yi put his hands in his pockets and said word by word: "Watch it carefully, learn it carefully, I will only teach it once."

At 17:05, Jay Chou from Taiwan was unable to hold on until sunset and was kicked out of the top ten on the daily list by Yang Qianhua's "Yang Qianhua".

It was also from this time that Zhou Yi, the only foreign mainland singer, was left among the top ten singers on the daily list of Xincheng Radio——

Liu Hua, Zhang Xueyou, Wang Fei, Yang Qianhua, Chen Yixun, and Chen Huiling chased and intercepted him.

At the same time, Hacken Lee from Universal Music Group also officially joined the battlefield!

The entire Hong Kong music scene suddenly became a mess.

The executives of Metro Radio were all mouths twisted with joy. The vested interests behind this group of people also focused their publicity on them after knowing that Warner was mainly attacking Metro Radio. At the same time, they also guaranteed again and again: This radio station will never Any cases of favoritism and malpractice!

"This is something that is impossible to do. There has never been a singer who can dominate the top ten songs in history."

Cai Zhuoyan, who used this reason to invite Zhou Yi out for dinner, no longer had the simple demeanor of the past, and he meant something.

"So I am the most special one."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and cut the steak on the plate: "Their songs are already old songs, and the freshness has long passed. Besides, except for Chen Yixun's young fans, there may be more young fans in this group of people." The fans are mainly young and middle-aged people who are busy in society.

"They may have money, but they lack what a radio station needs to chart - free time."
