China Entertainment 2000

"Hello, my name is Zhou Yi."

After shaking hands politely, Zhou Yi responded with a sunny smile: "Sister, please take good care of me in the future."

The rhetoric of "senior sister, junior brother, junior brother and junior sister" was actually very popular during this period, whether it was in the media or within various companies.

Regardless of whether they are popular or not, artists in the same company must have a first-come, first-served basis.

"Okay, if I can take care of you. I haven't debuted yet, maybe I will need you to take care of me then."

Sun Yanzi, who has graduated from college, is not an unsophisticated person. He pointed to the closed office behind him with a smile, and then opened the topic with some curiosity: "Junior brother, how did you practice Mandarin? Why is it so good? ?”

Compared with her who clearly speaks with the accent of an international friend from the moment she opens her mouth, the smoothness of the Mandarin revealed by Zhou Yi's two simple sentences is miraculous.

Although she can speak Mandarin and sing Mandarin songs without much problem since she was raised in Singapore, her accent is still difficult to conceal in daily communication.

Since arriving in Treasure Island, the people I have come into contact with are either Hong Kong Islanders or Treasure Island people. Whether they are middle-aged people, young people or even students, accent problems are very obvious among these people.

Only Zhou Yi's blunt and eloquent Mandarin surprised her a little.

"Senior sister, I'm from the Mainland. How can I speak Mandarin well?"

Zhou Yi sat on the chair in the rest area as if he was familiar with it, and said with a smile: "But I think there is still a little accent problem. Of course, the main responsibility for this lies in the teachers who taught me in school when I was a child. They led me astray."

"Are you from the mainland?"

Sun Yanzi suddenly realized it, and his eyes were inevitably a little curious. He took a few more looks at this man with a superior figure: "I am from Singapore, but my grandparents were also from Guangdong Province in the mainland."

"I'm from Gan Province. Rounding it all off, we can be considered fellow villagers. Senior sister, don't forget to support me if you become popular in the future."

While Zhou Jianhui went to communicate with the top producers within Warner, Zhou Yi, who had nothing to do, was happy to chat with the yet-to-be-debuted diva in front of him, and to enhance the brother-sister relationship.

If nothing else, he definitely spoke from the bottom of his heart when he said this.

It's May now, and Sun Yanzi is still an ordinary top student at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. When Sun Yanzi releases her first solo album in her career in early June, she will become the little queen of the Chinese music scene who will quickly become famous.

As for how popular it is...

One-sentence review: The only female singer of her generation who could compete with Jay Chou in terms of popularity from 2001 to 2003.

This gold content is visible to the naked eye.

In June, he was probably still working on album songs. He was just an amateur and not famous.

"I'm sure, I'll lend you some good words..."

There was a person of similar age chatting, and the tension in Sun Yanzi's heart was relieved a lot, and his eyes were bent into crescent moons.

In fact, because Warner bet heavily on her album, the closer she gets to the album's release, the greater her psychological pressure becomes.

She didn't have many people to talk to yet.

My parents and relatives are not around, I can only make phone calls, and I don’t have many friends in Baodao.

She can't be allowed to talk about pressure with Zhou Jianhui, the boss who scouted her to come to Warner. This person's pressure may be greater than hers.

As for other artists in the company...

Aaron Kwok and Sammi Cheng, the queens, are based in Hong Kong Island, and the celebrity position is simply not within her reach now;

Artists who have already debuted also have their own small groups. Most of them are puzzled by the company's heavy investment in them, and privately they are watching their new albums with indifference.

At this moment, a junior fellow student from the same school who also had no foundation in Warner suddenly appeared. He seemed to have a good personality, so Sun Yanzi naturally had a good attitude towards him.

This is due to circumstances.

After all, this junior fellow student and her have one thing in common: they were both discovered and signed by Warner General Manager Zhou Jianhui.

From another perspective, the two of them are a genuine faction in Warner Bros.

Especially when she heard about Zhou Yina's signing experience that was very similar to her own.

They all went to prestigious universities in their respective countries. They both sang a few songs in college and were attracted by Zhou Jianhui. They both rejected Zhou Jianhui several times before signing with Warner...

Zhou Yi also realized this, and his face couldn't help but look a little weird.

"What type of song do you write?"

While chatting, when Sun Yanzi heard that his junior brother could write songs by himself, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Is there a demo? Can I listen to it?"

"I do have some samples, but I threw them all in the locker at school and didn't bring them with me. As for genres, I guess I've dabbled in them all."

Zhou Yi spread his hands and indicated that he had brought someone over without bringing anything: "But the songs that I sing the most recently are actually more folk, pop and rock songs."

It’s not that he likes to sing these songs very much, it’s just that people who were willing to give flowers and tip in the bars and discos of the imperial capital around the millennium loved these songs.

As a literary man who doesn't have any lofty musical dreams and relies solely on his brain and memory when writing songs, Zhou Yi naturally won't go against the trend of the version.

The reason why I was able to make my first pot of gold at the World Cup with a few friends in 1998 was all through part-time singing and running around to collect tips.

After the World Cup, he sang just for fun. After all, if you have money, you won't get it for free.

"They are all involved? Then you——"

"Zhou Yi, you can go in. I've also shown them your original works. You can have a chat."

Before Sun Yanzi could finish speaking, the office door not far behind her was suddenly pushed open by a hand——

Zhou Jianhui, who was wearing a suit and ties, walked out and saw the two young people having a friendly exchange. He smiled and said, "I have also arranged for you about your residence in Baodao in the past month. I will come over after you finish talking with Li Sisong." Just look for me."

"Okay, I understand, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

After gesturing to Sun Yanzi to talk later, Zhou Yi stood up from his chair and immediately left the rest area and opened the office door.

Li Sisong, a 34-year-old music producer in the industry who was born in 1966, was sitting on the chair. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately raised his head——

Zhou Yi, wearing a white printed T-shirt and blue jeans, immediately caught his eye.

Simple, sunny, refreshing and handsome.

Just after meeting for the first time, Li Sisong, a professional music producer, immediately had several singer images that could be created in the album in his mind.

"Zhou Yi, right? Please sit down. My name is Li Sisong. Just call me Brother Li."

Facing this 19-year-old child, the 34-year-old Li Sisong spoke in a very friendly tone: "I have seen the works that Jianhui brought over. He said that you are good at writing folk songs, pop rock and lyrical songs?"

As he spoke, Li Sisong raised the music scores in his hand, and several works with "Nan Shan Nan", "Mercury" and "Poignant Land" written on his head were faintly listed.

"Yes, Brother Li."

Zhou Yi, who was sitting directly opposite this man, did not have stage fright either. On the contrary, he was also secretly sizing up the producer.

Wearing a striped shirt, black trousers and leather shoes that look very valuable at first glance; he has a slicked back hair and a pair of black round glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"What about other aspects? Is there anything else you are involved in or particularly interested in? For example, R\u0026B? Dancing?" Considering Zhou Yi's age, he can write lyrics and compose music independently. Whether it was consciously or taught by others, Li Sisong felt that there was a high probability that he would have been exposed to more Western styles of music.

The reason why I ask this is firstly because I want to know more about this little genius’s personal style comfort zone, and secondly because Tao Zhe and Warner’s first brother Guo Tianwang are currently popular in Baodao.

Zhou Yi, who instantly understood what he meant, was thoughtful.

In this era, Tao Zhe set off a wave of R\u0026B craze in Baodao with his album "I'm OK". It was popular from the end of last year to the first quarter of this year and did not fall off the sales charts. The whole Baodao was singing "Hua La La" "It's raining" means fucking the manager hard;

As for the latter, it's just that King Guo is an all-round dancer. They are all in the same company. If you want to debut as the Little Dance King of Asia, it is not impossible. You can also let Guo Tianwang take the lead.
