China Entertainment 2000

Chapter 76 Coke under the table is working hard (fourth update~)

Celebrity endorsements are a major component of a celebrity's annual income and are also the most obvious manifestation of celebrity status. Qian Jiang, who has been in the agent industry for more than 20 years, understands this truth deeply.

Precisely because of this, looking at Zhou Yi on the stage holding the trophy and thanking him again and again without words, he was somewhat relieved to applaud while sitting in his chair.

Compared with the people he had led at Warner before, Zhou Yi was undoubtedly the one who made him worry the most and the one who motivated him the most.

Due to the dual public relations between Warner and Emperor, the most eye-catching people at tonight's Top Ten Golden Melody Awards are destined to be only two young people, Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng.

The up and down between the two was the main theme of tonight's confrontation.

As a result, some celebrities who didn't know what was going on gradually came to their senses, and their thoughtful eyes continued to glance back and forth at the artists from the Warner and Emperor families.

Especially those Hong Kong stars who have experienced the era of Tan and Zhang's hegemony.

The expressions on the faces of representatives from PolyGram Records, EMI Records and other record companies were somewhat fluctuating.

Once the story of Tan Zhang's struggle for hegemony is repeated in the new century, only Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng will benefit, and other record companies will have to suffer.

Now, unlike in the past, the influence of the Hong Kong music scene can radiate throughout Asia, and the disc sales market is huge. Under the impact of piracy, the Xiangjiang music market has long been celebrating the New Year with Wang Xiaoer, and it is getting worse every year.

If most of the genuine market is swallowed up by Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng, will singers like them from the record company still be able to do it?

Especially the Book of Changes.

He is a mainlander and can't sing Cantonese songs. His popularity here in Hong Kong is not as good as that of many people. This can be seen from the sales of his albums in Hong Kong.

There are hundreds of thousands of copies of Baodao, and the mainland has reached the threshold of one million, but the sales volume of Xiangjiang is shabby, not even 150,000.

The Emperor is so full that he wants to take him to play? !

He actually used Xie Tingfeng's popularity in Xiangjiang to bolster him? !

You can even take Eason Chan with you. Although he looks a little bit ugly, at least he is from Hong Kong!

If not, Edison Chen can do it. Although he is not good at singing, at least he is handsome. He and Xie Tingfeng are so close that they can wear the same pair of pants.

"Acheng, it's interesting."

Under the stage, the area where the big guys gather. Zeng Zhiwei, who understood everything, turned his head and glanced at Aaron Kwok, who was no longer worried about his status, and said without revealing any trace.

Aaron Kwok, who reached the top of the Big Four in the 1990s and has now opened up foreign markets, is happy to help his juniors in the same company who have already made a name for themselves: "Ah Yi deserves it. The musicality of his album is very advanced. I think no matter how many awards he wins, it’s not too much.”

The Top Ten Golden Melody Awards no longer have much value to Aaron Kwok at this stage, and his contemporary Lai Lai simply quit participating.

If he hadn't wanted to maintain a good relationship with some people on the organizing committee, he would have been too lazy to come.

Within the Imperial team.

Zhong Xin, Cai Zhuo, Rong Zu and others just watched Xie Tingfeng, their senior brother from the same company, and Bi Zhouyi, the marshal from Warner across the street, come on stage one after another to accept the awards. Their mouths were slightly opened in surprise, and they were extremely shocked.

"I feel that after this party is broadcast, the popularity and album sales of the boy named Zhou Yi will soar in Xiangjiang." Cai Zhuo, who was whispering with his good sister Zhong Xin, pointed implicitly at the Warner department opposite.

It is said to be a Warner series, but apart from Zhou Yi himself, there is nothing worthy of attention at all, and Sun Yanzi did not come.

The first brother Aaron Kwok and the first sister Sammi Cheng are both in the celebrity area.

"This is his first album, oh my god..."

Zhong Xin's wide eyes were full of shock and confusion.

Xie Tingfeng's status was achieved through his hard work in Xiangjiang. What about Zhou Yi?

I estimate that he will not be in Xiangjiang for more than a week.

Mainland area.

Sun Nan, who was the first mainland brother and now the second mainland brother, turned his head and whispered to Naying: "How come this monster is so popular when he comes to Xiangjiang? Don't these people reject the mainland?"

Having suffered losses in the Hong Kong music scene, he is really full of grievances and has no way to express his grievances.

What is this?

Why should Zhou Yi take advantage of all the good things?

Where is the arrogance of your Hong Kong Organizing Committee? !

"Because I can't hold it in any longer."

Naying's eyes were also a little complicated: "He just caught up with the good era of the millennium."

Sometimes, times really do create heroes - people who are gradually opening up the mainland and are busy increasing the influence of the mainland in all aspects.

The appearance of Zhou Yi just hit their hearts.

Born in a red province, received domestic education since childhood, and graduated from a prestigious school.

The buff stack is full.

At a time when both Hong Kong and Taiwan have launched representative figures of the younger generation, the emergence of Zhou Yi has eliminated the embarrassment of the mainland having no younger generation to promote.

It also happened that the Emperor was in close communication with the mainland, and they hit it off immediately, resulting in the birth of this wonderful scene.

"I'm really not willing to accept it, but seeing those people defeated makes me feel quite happy."

With no choice but to comfort himself, Sun Nan glanced at the representatives of major record companies in Hong Kong, and felt a sense of joy in his heart.

When he first came to travel alone in the world, he was bullied a lot.

Now a nineteen-year-old kid like Zhou Yi is riding directly on their heads to dominate them.

Laughing to death.

As an old man from the record era, Sun Nan knows how small the market for this group of people will be squeezed once Emperor and Warner really recreate the wonders of Tan Zhang's hegemony in the past.

At least he can still make a living in the mainland market.

With Sun Nan's complicated thoughts flying, host Chen Baixiang's energetic award-winning voice sounded again on the stage——

"National Most Popular Male Singer Award:

"Gold Award: Andy Lau, Silver Award: Zhou Yi, Bronze Award: Sun Nan. Congratulations to all three!"

The moment the songs started playing one after another, Sun Nan, who sighed inwardly, also adjusted his suit, stood up and went on stage to receive the award.

On the stage, Zhou Yi, who was on stage for the fifth time, was somewhat surprised when he saw the heartfelt congratulatory smile on Sun Nan's face after he came over.

Is this enough?

It seems that Sun Nan is not as unruly now as he will be in the future.

"Congratulations, handsome boy."

With the face of Zhu Zhishan that was so impressive in Stephen Chow's movie "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance", Chen Baixiang handed the microphone to Zhou Yi with a smile on his face: "You and Ting Feng are both super winners tonight, yes. I don’t want to talk to your fans and friends who support you.”

"Of course I am going to learn Cantonese well, and I will try to see if I have the opportunity to compose some Cantonese songs in the future to give back to my fans and friends who support me."

Zhou Yiyan raised the trophy and waved it towards the distant audience, which immediately caused a burst of cheers.

"Ah, I'm going to take the liberty to ask, are all your Cantonese songs the same as "Hate the Dream of Red Mansions"? I really like this song."

Chen Baixiang, who is good at livening up the atmosphere, even pretended to twist his body a few times as he spoke: "Ever since I listened to your song, my neighbor next door often said that his wife would not let him go and would often get under the quilt."

"It depends on how well I learn Cantonese by then."

Zhou Yi smiled and blinked: "After all, Cantonese songs are also broad and profound."

"Okay, since that's the case, let us see your Mandarin singing ability before the Cantonese singing. Then, let us hand over the stage to Zhou Yi——

""Flower Field Mistake"!"

Under the watchful eyes of the stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Zhou Yi, who took the limelight tonight and won the battle, raised the microphone and said "woo~" when the prelude sounded.

Singing this kind of R\u0026amp;amp;B, it’s not surprising that it’s a bit uncomfortable to scream a few times——

"It's so late at night, why is the paper window so bright?

"That's not the candle you lit for me while I waited all night

"It's just an encounter, the dream in the Red Mansion"

"My landscapes have all faded

"It's like being washed by heavy rain~"

It can be said that the unique arrangement in this era, "Hua Tian Cuo" that combines Peking Opera, has won the hearts of the older generation of Hong Kong people who still have some quintessence of Chinese culture.

The next day, the headlines of the entertainment pages of Hong Kong's major media newspapers all published the top ten golden song awards ceremony last night that made Zhou Yi the limelight——

"The biggest winner of the 23rd Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards: Zhou Yi!" 》

"One Step to the Sky!" Mainland's little king Zhou Yi single-handedly fights against the Hong Kong music scene! 》

"Zhou Yi VS Xie Tingfeng!" The collision between the Hong Kong music scene and the mainland music scene! 》

What’s even better is that the media directly published the voting options:

"The number one young person in the Mainland VS the number one young person in Hong Kong, who do you support more?" ! 》

"I support Ting Feng! He is handsome enough!"

"I like Zhou Yi! Not only is he handsome, he is also taller than Xie Tingfeng!"

"..."

Taking advantage of the east wind after the top ten hits were aired, and the indiscriminate bombardment for several days, the Zhou Xie struggle, under the control of Emperor and Warner, had already begun to resemble the Tan Zhang struggle for hegemony in the past.

All that's left is a fire——

"Zhou Yi, we succeeded! If you succeed in building momentum and match Xie Tingfeng's endorsement, Coca-Cola can offer you 10 million to sign a five-year contract."

Qian Jiang, who succeeded in tearing off a piece of meat with his excellent negotiation skills, sent good news to Zhou Yi on the seventh day after the award ceremony.

"Ten million? Real or fake? How did you do it?"

Zhou Yi's eyes widened instantly. This is ten million. Although the contract is for five years, it is now a millennium!

"Because Nicholas Hsieh signed a contract with PepsiCo, Coca-Cola wants to rely on your superstar policy to fight against its old rivals."

Qian Jiang's face showed a smile of success: "Coca-Cola has never found a spokesperson with enough weight in the country, and you are the first one.

“Especially after Nicholas Tse changed his mind and signed with Pepsi, which is full of superstars.

"Coca-Cola is immediately anxious. They don't want to lag too far behind their old rivals. At this time, you happened to come out with the Zhou Xie Competition.

"The competition at that time will not only be between our two companies. Behind you two, you will also have a pair of rivals, Pepsi and Coca-Cola, which will directly create a sense of confrontation."

It felt like he was going to relive the glory days of Tan and Zhang's struggle for hegemony. When Qian Jiang said this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Warner and Emperor alone may not be able to catch up, but with the addition of Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola, which have deep pockets, it will really be a battle for Zhou Xie.
