The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 521: The Son of Rock
Amidst the screams and cheers like a tsunami, the man enveloped by lights raised his eyebrows, and his posture as he paced forward on the stage exuded an indescribable expression.

The chorus behind him sang "Natural" softly like a hymn. In a trance, in that composition and lighting, Yui Aragaki looked up at the man on the stage and felt as if she saw an angel who was inspiring the world.

"Will you hold the line
"When every one of them has given up and given in, tell me..."

Maybe you have gone through many hardships like me, and have been misunderstood and criticized by many people.

Don't give up, don't stop trying, even if setbacks have extinguished your hope.

Nothing in this world comes easy.

Regardless of whether the legendary hand of God intervenes or not, my head will always be held high, and the kingdom I created will stand forever.

Because, I was born this way!

"And you're standing on the edge face up 'cause you're a
"Natural!"

This line of lyrics was shouted out in unison by fans whose emotions were instantly raised to the peak!

The pressure of life, the resentment in career, the dissatisfaction in family, the unhappiness in love——

At this moment, at this moment, they roared along with Zhou Yi, venting the anger that had accumulated in their chests, shouting until they were hoarse!
Sanzhi Yuxia, who was playing the keyboard, pressed her ten fingers heavily on the instrument with such force that it seemed as if she could pierce it!
The band members were all like crazy, contributing to the most exciting performance since the beginning of their music career!
Electric guitar, bass, drums...

The musical instruments collide passionately at this moment, bursting into brilliant fireworks!

The mottled light and shadows fell on the faces of everyone present, as if tearing off the mask of disguise, and releasing the inner anxiety and restlessness to the beat of the music!
The moment the emotions exploded, it was a torrent that could not be compared even to the bursting of the Tokyo Bay dike!

“Yeah you’re a natural!

“Living your life cutthroat!

“You gotta be so cold!
"Yeah you're a natural!!!"

The angry voice mixed with the roar of 1200 people reached the sky through the top of the building. In this hot atmosphere, Yui Aragaki couldn't help but stand up from her seat, holding up the glow stick in her hand, and shouted until her throat became hoarse!

Sweat appeared from her forehead, slightly wetting her collar, but she didn't care.

Some even stepped on the seats to take off their short-sleeved shirts and jackets, folded them into strips, and waved them in their hands; the men were topless, while the women were half-covered.

Everyone's face was flushed with excitement, and their sparkling eyes were all focused on the reflection of Zhou Yi on the stage!

When the song ended, the heat at the scene did not fade away for a long time...

People cheered enthusiastically and kept reaching out to the stage, just to get the favor of their idol.

The multi-track camera hanging above the small theater faithfully recorded everything. All the staff were amazed by the scene, and a few even subconsciously took off their hats to salute.

Is this the charm of rock music live?

"It's hard to believe that Zhou Yi is actually a pop star. He is simply the son of rock and roll."

Among the employees of Fuji TV, the chief director of the crew in charge of recording this scene heard the assistant director's heartfelt murmur, and his heart suddenly moved. He immediately ordered several cameras to shoot more pictures of Zhou Yi from various angles.

"Yeah, the infectiousness of this scene is even more exaggerated than that of Linkin Park. At least none of the Linkin Park scenes we have filmed before can catch up with this one."

Linkin Park is the most representative figure in the European and American rock scene today.

Regardless of whether people admit that they are rock or not, at least in the public's perception, this band is currently the world's number one rock band - sales, trophies, popularity, the triangle cycle is complete.

"Fans have different levels of loyalty. Zhou Yi is Asian after all."

"That's right, there are still Japanese people like us in Lincoln Park."

"That's complete nonsense. Why don't you ask him if he acknowledges his Japanese identity? It's just Warner's external marketing. Just listen to it, don't take it seriously. There's a Korean in their band. When have you ever seen a Korean acknowledge him?" "Don't worry about the Japanese and Korean. Anyway, they were all killed by Zhou Yi when they were tied together. It's not like they haven't fought before. In a head-on confrontation with Linkin Park, they were no match at all. They were beaten so hard that they didn't know what to do. If these two were not from Warner, Zhou Yi would not have shown mercy at all."

"50 Cent and Eminem have brought shame to the world. Madonna's new album has also suffered a serious blow. The sales volume is a complete failure for a diva of her level. When she was interviewed in the United States, she even accused Zhou Yi of abusing racist remarks to make excuses for herself."

"Madonna should first consider suing Warner instead of causing trouble for Zhou Yi. Her court hearing will probably start early next year..."

As the longest-running pop queen in American history, Madonna's fan base is still very solid. However, her fans are mostly traditionalists, who have the upper hand in newspaper opinion; on the Internet, Zhou Yi relies on the combination of Apple + Warner to beat all opponents into a panic.

There is no way, the results are too difficult.

"If I remember correctly, his two English albums have sold over 30 million copies on the Apple Music Store, right?"

Watching Zhou Yi still interacting with fans, the crew members were amazed.

2003年7月23日-28日，五天的时间，周易歌曲在苹果商店就已经卖出了1500万首以上。到今天8月15日，苹果音乐商店官方统计的销售数据已经超过了3700万首。

This is a very scary situation.

With the gradual expansion of the Apple Music Store and the iPod gradually sweeping the world, it is almost certain that Zhou Yi's single sales will exceed 100 million in the future, and it is as stable as it can be.

"I feel that with the quality of his songs, it is not impossible for him to sell 200 million or 300 million songs in the future. The quality of the songs in the album is too high. This payment method of buying one song at a time is simply a powerful tool for him to reap the profits."

Other singers only have a few main songs in an album that are of high quality, but Zhou Yi's songs are all masterpieces.

"I think it's more than that, maybe 400 million or 500 million."

“I’m looking forward to Utada Hikaru’s performance.”

"It's hard for her to say. Let's question it first and then again..."

"I think I should just believe it first..."

The crew members, who rarely see such explosive rock performances in Japan, discussed the issue at once, and various opinions emerged one after another about Zhou Yi. However, a unified view gradually emerged:

Zhouyi: The Son of Rock.

Although it sounds very childish, everyone was very excited when they talked about this new nickname.

The buff bonus of racial discrimination is too strong.

In particular, when Zhou Yi was promoting this album in the United States, he gave a passionate speech, which has been repeatedly studied by entertainment practitioners in Asian countries and is almost regarded as a bible. Relevant practitioners in Europe and the United States took the opportunity to cheer along.

Based on this, they think there is nothing wrong with saying that Zhou Yi is the son of rock and roll. It can be said that he has truly changed the landscape of Asian singers in the world music scene with his own efforts - all the albums were produced by him alone, without any European or American participation.

Although he started out singing pop songs, that was just a compromise for the market. Rock music always runs in Zhou Yi's blood, and he doesn't even pretend to sing in his second English album, the entire album is almost entirely a reflection of the rock spirit.

This is irrefutable proof!
“Rock on!

“rock on!!
"Rock on!!!"

The passion for the show ignited by rock never fades. Even though Zhou Yi has sung four rock songs in a row, the excited fans still keep shouting "keep rocking" with their hoarse throats.

Ignited by the atmosphere, Yui Aragaki couldn't hold back any longer after Zhou Yi finished singing "Viva La Vida". She followed the example of her senior who came with her and took off her white short-sleeved shirt with the Digimon Tailmon pattern on it. She twisted it into a rope in her hand and waved it non-stop instead of the light sticks.

He was still shouting "rock on" along with the crowd.

Even though the venue was air-conditioned, beads of sweat were clearly visible on the faces of the fans in the audience, Zhou Yi on the stage, and Saegusa Yuka who was performing accompaniment, but they all had extremely bright smiles on their faces.

"Phew, to be honest, I really feel that Tokyo is a bit hot now."

Zhou Yi grabbed his collar and fanned himself a few times, then picked up the mineral water placed in the corner of the stage and splashed it on his head and face to cool down quickly. His wet appearance caused the audience to scream!
