Red hot.

Eminem is red hot.

I work so hard to sing everywhere, fly three shifts a day, and never touch the ground. What the hell are you doing? !

Why can't my team think of this marketing method? !

Are they all useless? !

Fuck you!

One, two, three, four, five, six...

"Spike really went to the factory to tighten screws!"

"Warner's president personally led the senior management to work and tighten screws!"

"Warner mobilizes! Singer Spike becomes worker Spike! !"

"The album is in great demand! Someone has offered three thousand dollars on eBay for the album package made by Spike himself! !"

"Unprecedented! Because the album is selling so well, I have to go to the factory to help tighten screws! 》

《…………》

“I have actually seen the comments from fans urging me to go to the factory to package the new album. What everyone doesn’t know is that I go there often. I arrived early yesterday morning. I came very early and took a nap in the workshop.

“When the work time came, I went to the production line with my colleagues including the president Ed. Ed said that we must package at least 100,000 albums to live up to the fans’ love...”

Every one, every one!

In every report, there is Spike’s smiling face wearing a helmet, coupled with his face without a sweat during the interview and In his opinion, this is just your mother's nonsense, and Eminem feels that his mania is once again aroused.

Why!

Why!

Why!

When he thought about how he had slept less than five hours a day these days, flying around and singing until his throat was hoarse, and the reports and attention he got were hit by Zhou Yi's popularity, which did not require any effort, Eminem could not help but be angry and sad-

Why can't his page be maximized!

Why are there fewer reports about me than about him? !

"Calm down, calm down Eminem, don't be angry. Valerie, go get the medicine. "

The agent quickly put down the arrangements at hand and gave instructions to the assistant.

It is no secret in the industry that Eminem needs drugs to control his emotions and sleep.

His mother sued him in court, and he fought with his wife for the custody of their daughter. These shattered things in his life almost broke the man's mind. If it weren't for his best friend accompanying him, he would have fallen completely and killed himself by taking an overdose of drugs.

"Work is the most important thing. Remember, you can't stay popular forever by doing crooked things. The sales volume between you is not much different, and there is not much distance between you in the Billboard rankings. You must maintain high-intensity exposure. You can't ruin yourself at this time. ”

Although the agent felt dizzy at the unexpected operation of this damn Spike, he still maintained his professionalism and persuaded the artist first.

Today, not only the sales chart, but also the ranking on the Billboard are fiercely contested by both parties.

Of course, their fierce competition means that someone will be unlucky.

From the 15th to the 18th, Zhou Yi's three albums directly entered the charts, including "Trespassing", "boom boom pow", "24K Magic", "That's What I Like", "Sexy Back", "Happy", and "drag me down".

Once again, people exclaimed at this man's ability to produce hits.

However, due to different resource distribution, the rankings of these seven songs have changed over time-

For example, "boom boom pow", "That's What I Like", "Sexy Back", and "Happy" all entered the top 30, among which "boom boom pow", "Sexy Back" and "Happy" all entered the top 30. Back" entered the top ten.

And the unlucky person squeezed out of the top ten by Zhou Yi happened to be the old victim Avril - the song "My Happy Ending" from her new album this year happened to be ranked ninth on the Billboard.

I don't know if it's a bad fate or something else, but Avril's dream of winning the top single this year seems to be ended by Zhou Yi himself...

"Shit! I accepted your invitation before and appeared as a guest on your talk show for free!"

Knowing that she was going to be sent away again this year, Avril called Zhou Yi as soon as possible. While coming with a fierce momentum, she also congratulated him on his achievement: "I tell you, if you don't win the championship, you'll have wasted your time!"

Once you are surpassed by Zhou Yi, it is basically impossible to surpass him.

This is Avril's personal experience.

She was young and ignorant back then, but she won't do that now. The highest ranking is ninth.

"Is there a possibility that your song can only rank ninth at the highest, and my appearance will allow you to have a decent exit? "Zhou Yi, who received the call, was also on his way to promote the song.

The marketing of screw-tightening is indeed effective, but it can only help him to be lazy. If he wants to achieve good results in the end, he still has to do down-to-earth promotion.

"How is that possible? Can't you say something nice?"

Avril couldn't hold it anymore.

However, her momentum is pretty good. You are taking advantage of her, right?

"To be honest, the momentum of your song has obviously begun to weaken."

"Huh?"

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"That's pretty much it. Come on, I want to see if you can pick Arthur off."

Avril, who didn't really want to accuse her, hung up the phone after a brief chat. Zhou Yi, who glanced at the files and data in his hand, smiled and shook his head——

To be honest, he really wasn't lying. After all, Avril Lavigne had only one number one hit in her entire career, "Girlfriend" in 2007.

As for the Usher she was talking about, "Yeah", which was originally going to dominate Billboard's No. 1 this year, was taken away by him early, but now he has taken out the equally well-produced "YES". Judging from the name, he More or less unstretched.

The R\u0026B king and friend of Michael Jackson brought out by Diddy has completely reached the top since releasing his album in March this year.

I just don’t know…

Well... forget it, let's not think about it.

After all, it's none of Puff Daddy's business no matter how much he spends his time, and besides, Puff Daddy in this day and age probably isn't that influential yet.

After shaking his head and putting aside his distracting thoughts, Zhou Yi took a deep breath and started his journey——

Wherever you go, there are really noisy gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, banners fluttering, and huge crowds of people.

One word to describe it: This is the King of Superstars!

In terms of sales and singles charts, he, the king of superstars, has lived up to his expectations and completed his reign!

As the marketing of the so-called rivalry between the two powers deepened, his album sales also increased steadily - breaking one million in two days, 1.57 million in three days, and 2.1 million in six days!

Although Eminem always stayed behind him, he still couldn't complete the lead after a week.

Such Zhou Yi, who is firmly in a high position, has plunged most of the American music scene into despair.

On July 20, 2004, when Billboard officially released the new list, Zhou Yi's name not only appeared on the sub-lists of various categories, but the overall list of Hot 100 also continued his outstanding performance in the past——

At the same time, it only took him six days to defeat Usher, who was waiting for a crazy promotion, and completed the album's first number one single with the song "boom boom pow"——

There is even a song called "Sexy Back" that ranks second, eyeing the top spot.

More importantly, judging from the momentum of other songs in his album, Zhou Yi's album has far more than these two songs that have the potential to be number one...

"Horror! How terrifying! This is simply unspeakable dominance!"

"Who else can beat Spike? I can't figure it out!"

"Eminem, go ahead! Bring the hope of the entire American music scene! Don't lose! You still have a chance!"

"The album is a long-distance race, come on Eminem!"

"Don't compare to the bulletin board, Spike's ability to create top singles is simply unbelievable!"

"..."

As we all know, the Billboard chart has been notoriously difficult since its official inception. Even at his peak, Michael Jackson could not say that being the number one chart was like drinking water.

"When Spike first came to the United States, we all said that the American music scene was cruel. He would definitely go home crying to his mother. We all thought that he would not achieve the dream-like results on Billboard and that he would not be able to adapt to the American music scene. environment;

"When Spike came to the United States for the second time, we all said that we had Madonna, we had Linkin Park, and there were many, many top singers. We all thought that he would not achieve miraculous results on Billboard, and he must not be able to adapt to the top American singers. the intensity of the singers;

“Now, it’s the third year.

"Three years!"

On the 21st, the editor-in-chief of the Chicago Sun-Times, one of the top three best-selling newspapers in the United States, personally wrote an article on the entertainment front page titled: "It's been three years, and the United States has not adapted to him yet."

“The United States won the enviable title at the start of its debut season, and its reputation as a title harvester was most thoroughly proven after Spike’s second season.

"Spike's strength makes all of us feel at a loss. There were voices questioning Spike before because he still needs to adapt to the United States!

"Now, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that the United States needs to adapt to Spike -

"We all need to get used to Spike!"
