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 in her hand, and looked extremely solemn.
After so many years in this industry, she almost smelled something wrong at the first time-Warner provoked the so-called opposition at this time, and it was hard to say whether it really wanted to take advantage of her.
"Sister Mani, what's wrong? Is there any problem? Is something going to happen?"
Although they knew that Warner must be behind the news at this critical moment, the two Twins were unable to figure out the one, two, three, four, and five after thinking for a long time due to their lack of experience, and could only turn to the omnipotent agent for help.
"Warner is too ambitious. They should want to take this opportunity to let Zhou Yi dominate the top ten radio stations."
Even Huo Wenxi, who is good at hype, couldn't help but take a breath at this moment, secretly calculating the possibility of Warner's success in doing so.
"What?!"
Asa, who claims to have seen the world, suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth in surprise: "This is impossible! RTHK will never allow such a thing to happen!"
RTHK, the only government radio station in Hong Kong, is the purest official force in a sense.
"So it's Metro Radio. Warner's main battlefield should be on Metro Radio."
Huo Wenxi's face was very serious: "Don't show up in public for the time being. In addition, tell other artists in EEG that no one should make any comments on this matter. I will go to the boss to discuss the situation."
The two sisters of Twins looked at each other.
The last time they saw Huo Wenxi showing this expression was when Xie Tingfeng was arrested.
"Okay, I know."
Seeing Huo Wenxi leave in a swift and decisive manner, the two sisters held the door frame and watched her figure disappear at the end of the corner of the corridor. After exchanging a look, they immediately slipped out.
While Huo Wenxi was on her way to find her boss Yang Shoucheng, she unexpectedly met her competitor - Gan Jingjing, the head of Yinghuang Music Plus department.
"The music department under Yinghuang 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 Gan Jingjing, the old woman with glasses."
Warner (Hong Kong), Zhou Yi's lounge.
Qian Jiang, who was holding a stack of information to introduce Zhou Yi to the biggest obstacle of this operation, pointed to a photo and said:
"These two departments have their own ace singers, and the types of singers under them range from powerful, idol 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, with his right finger on the side of his cheek, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wang Jie? Doesn't she and Huo Wenxi have a mortal enemy?"
"Not really, Huo Wenxi has always suppressed her."
Qian Jiang shook his head: "But this woman's network of influence is very strong, especially in Hong Kong Commercial Radio. At the same time, Huang Jiantao, a senior executive of New Yibao Records under Universal Music (Hong Kong), is married to her."
"Under Universal?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows. Eminem's new movie "8 Mile" that relies on dissing him to get attention is from Universal Pictures.
In other words, the senior executives of Universal Music, which is a sister company of Universal Pictures, can definitely find out what the situation is at the first time.
"It's useless for them to know what's going on now. We have already brought up their emotions and rhythm. Now is the time when the public is excited. If they dare to say one more word of dissent, we will immediately lead them to be traitors. This reputational cost is something they cannot afford."
Qian Jiang, who played a trick of magnification according to Zhou Yi's suggestion, is now very proud and happy - damn, it's so cool!
Why didn't I realize that marketing can be played like this before? It's still Ah Yi.
"In your album "Lianshan", there is another song "Cheers" that has the hope of entering the top ten..."
In order not to cause Zhou Yi's misunderstanding, Qian Jiang still gave him a shot in advance.
It is definitely unrealistic for all eleven songs in "Lianshan" to occupy the top ten of the list. Apart from other things, the three songs in his album, "Can you feel my world", "Ghost", and "In the Name of the Father", are definitely difficult to enter the top ten.
If it weren't for Zhou Yi's previous popularity, it would be hard for these three songs to enter the top thirty.
It is unacceptable for Warner to spend a lot of promotional resources and still fail in the end.
As for "Killer", the market performance is not as good as those songs on Zhou Yi's B side, and after comprehensive consideration, it was removed from the list of songs to be promoted by Warner.
"Don't worry, I know which ones can be promoted and which ones can't be promoted."
Zhou Yi smiled and put down the information in his hand, crossing his fingers in front of his lips: "The four songs on the A side were originally made to deal with those music critics who want musicality. Even for "In the Name of the Father", which I value the most, I know very well that its radio performance will definitely not be very good."
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?
Regardless of the summary statistics of any list, you can't find the position of "In the Name of the Father" even if you look through the list from beginning to end——
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 said 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, causing new fans to have 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 Under the strong promotion, golden songs such as "Kaidao Tumi" and "Fable" have started to hit the charts again.
If Cheng Chung-kee's new song + collection "Encore" hadn't been too hip-stretching this year, he might have been pushed out to get his head.
"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 from their sleep 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 by yourself?"
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, a foreign mainland singer, was the only one 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 hit the charts – free time.”
