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

Chapter 582 Reward from CCTV

"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I'm waiting for you~"

"Both the cat and you want to know the taste of saury~"

"Write poems for you, stand still for you, do the impossible for you~"

"Who will I meet and what kind of conversation will we have~"

"Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time~"

"..."

Listening to the songs played in the shops, music stores, and hair salons next door, and smelling the mixed smell of cigarettes and smelly feet in the black Internet cafe, Wang Weilun, with headphones hanging around his neck, took the lighter from his friend sitting next to him and lit a cigarette with two clicks.

After taking a sip of the coffee, he bent his right knee and put it on the seat, while putting the lighter into his pocket.

"Fuck, these bastards are really stubborn. Zhou Yi's album has sold over 4 million copies and it still can't shut them up."

"What are you saying? Can you still go along the network line and slap them in the face?"

Wang Weilun, with a cigarette in his mouth, shook his Yagami-style hairdo that almost covered his right eye, and showed disdain for this online war of words.

He is already an 18-year-old adult who has been away from home and working hard in society for three years. He has no interest in paying attention to such meaningless verbal battles.

If you have that much time, you might as well play a few more Red Alerts.

"That's right. Forget it, let's not worry about that for now. The time is almost up. I've asked you to go online and get me an autograph. Whether Jie Lun can perform on the Spring Festival Gala depends on this one chance."

"Okay, okay, students are just childish. It's none of your business whether Jay Chou can perform on the Spring Festival Gala, really."

Wang Weilun impatiently swung the mouse, glanced at the time and didn't open the game again. Instead, he opened Qian Qian Jing Ting in the Internet cafe and clicked on a random play: "They all have the surname Zhou. If Zhou Yi wanted to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, it wouldn't be so troublesome. He would have to do something like a petition."

When December 2003 arrived, the Spring Festival Gala, the most watched evening show in China every year, naturally began to select artists for the stage with drums and gongs.

What is different from previous years is that Jay Chou, whose popularity among young people is second only to Zhou Yi and who has firmly established himself as the second oldest in the music industry, will finally be able to perform at the Spring Festival Gala this year.

This year's Spring Festival Gala director Yuan Dewang strives to be younger. In order to seek innovation and change and to attract more popularity and ratings, he has opened an online petition on CCTV's official website specifically for the "second brother" of the music industry, Jay Chou, which can be regarded as taking the mass line.

As long as the final number of signatures on the petition reaches the target, Jay Chou will be able to make up for the regret of not being able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala in the past three years.

"How can they be compared? After all, Zhou Yi is the emperor of Warner, CCTV's favorite son. Jay Chou can't even be a godson, otherwise he wouldn't have missed out on the Spring Festival Gala in the past few years. Sun Yanzi, Xiao Yaxuan, and Wang Lihong all made it, but he didn't."

"That's his specialty. It only sells for over a million. If it sells as much as Zhou Yi, wouldn't it have been listed long ago?"

"..."

During the quarrel, Wang Weilun opened the CCTV official website, found Jay Chou's petition page, and left his message and electronic signature - he moved his mouse so fast that he showed off his artistic handwriting, which he thought was beautiful but was actually dog-scrawl.

Perhaps due to the huge amount of instantaneous traffic, the CCTV website started to lag, almost making him wonder if there were some bastards downloading movies in the Internet cafe.

"damn it."

Wang Weilun was about to close the webpage and restart the browser while cursing, but a Sohu News window about Zhou Yi popped up in the lower right corner.

《Breaking news! Zhou Yi's new Spring Festival Gala may have major changes! 》

?

"What did you say?"

Hong Kong, inside Warner training camp.

Zhou Yi, who came here at Zhou Jianhui's request to give these contracted musicians a boost, received a call from Qian Jiang and was a little surprised.

"Really, I'm not lying to you, Yi. Director Yuan called me personally to ask about this."

Qian Jiang, who was in the office, was full of excitement: "I think this should be a reward from the higher-ups for not bowing your head. Singing two songs solo is unimaginable. This is the Spring Festival Gala, a scene that hasn't appeared in more than ten years."

"On this year's Spring Festival Gala, one person sang two songs solo? No chorus to make up the numbers?"

Zhou Yi was also shocked.

This treatment is somewhat exceptional.

Since 1989, there has not been a pop singer who can sing two songs solo in one CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

After all, with the trend already established, the Spring Festival Gala has already become a huge event that draws thousands of people to the streets, and every minute and every second is extremely precious.

And now, this "iron law" that has been implemented for thirteen years will be broken by him in the fourteenth year.

"Yes, it is said that it was Director Yuan who proposed this to the CCTV leaders. The higher-ups had not thought about it yet, but after he made this suggestion, they agreed after a brief discussion."

Qian Jiang said cheerfully: "Fei Xiang knows about this, right? He sang the two songs "Clouds of Hometown" and "A Fire in Winter" in the 1987 Spring Festival Gala. Director Yuan Dewang was a member of the director team of that year's Spring Festival Gala. "He is the chief director this year, and he thought of giving you super-standard treatment in this way."

"..."

That's very knowledgeable.

Zhou Yi understood instantly.

It turns out that he was a member of the director team of the Spring Festival Gala that made Fei Xiang famous. No wonder he could figure this out. It must be path dependence.

"Director Yuan suggested you sing 'Blue and White Porcelain'. I think this is what he meant. I will support you on the Spring Festival Gala stage and shut up those who find fault with your lyrics. You must sing this song."

The stage of the Spring Festival Gala is truly national-level. The fact that "Blue and White Porcelain" can be performed on it without changing the lyrics will be enough to put an end to all those rumors after it is broadcast.

"As for the other song, my suggestion is to choose "Swallow Returns to the Nest" from your new album. The theme of a wanderer missing his homeland is very suitable for the Spring Festival Gala."

Qian Jiang gave his own suggestions.

It is not that you can sing whatever you want in the Spring Festival Gala. Among pop singers, only a few people like Zhou Yi can sing their own songs. In this case, you naturally have to sing more songs that are suitable for all ages and will not go wrong.

"Swallows Return to the Nest" seemed very suitable to him.

"What is the theme of this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

Zhou Yi did not refuse, but just asked about the theme of the Spring Festival Gala first.

The Spring Festival Gala has a general theme every year. What if there is a song that is more suitable than "Swallows Return to the Nest"?
“Oh, this is a blessing.”

Qian Jiang, who had already looked up relevant information, spoke up immediately: "It was Director Yuan who proposed the theme of 'Blessings', which also advocates youth, so they introduced online signature petitions, a novelty that young people like."

bless?

Zhou Yi blinked when he heard such a broad theme, and immediately said, "Then we don't need to use "Swallow Returns to the Nest", I will come back with a more appropriate whole song."

Qian Jiang: "?"

“It is guaranteed to be 100% in line with the theme of ‘Blessing’.”

Thinking of a certain scene that might occur in the future, Zhou Yi laughed out loud.

In China, there is a popular song that is unrivaled by any other song. This is the only song that can surpass the song "Welcome" in the 08 Olympics.

"Gong Xi Fa Cai", a popular supermarket drift song during Chinese New Year.

As soon as this song was released during the 05 Spring Festival Gala, it swept across the Chinese community in China and even around the world. With this song, Andy Lau even surpassed the other three of the Four Heavenly Kings in terms of domestic fame and status, extending his popularity for another ten years.

From the age of 99 to the age when one can just walk, wherever there is a speaker, there are people who have heard this song either actively or passively.

Since its birth, it has been selected as a must-have song for the Chinese New Year by people all over the country. It is played at a fixed time every year, and later it even bombards the eardrums of all Chinese people around the world from all directions.

The festive tune and the lyrics are good for luck. When the music starts, it feels like you are in a supermarket buying gold coin chocolates. In the era of mobile Internet, the flavor of the New Year in this song is even stronger than the increasingly lame Spring Festival Gala.

The most important thing is that this song is a blessing song that is extremely pure and perfectly fits the theme of "Blessing" of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Imperial capital, CCTV building.

Yuan Dewang, who was preparing for the 04 Spring Festival Gala, soon received a call from Qian Jiang. His face was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic.

Zhou Yi is actually going to write a new song for the theme of this year's Spring Festival Gala?
Four years have passed, and now no one doubts Zhou Yi's ability to create hit music.

And if the essay becomes a hit during the Spring Festival Gala directed by him, it will undoubtedly be of great help to him.

Who is the brainless person who said that Zhou Yi is arrogant and conceited? Isn't this pure nonsense?

Zhou Yi is really good at returning a favor.

Who doesn't know that Zhouyi songs are extremely difficult to get?

Yuan Dewang, overjoyed, immediately reported the matter to his leader who had supported him against all odds. The latter was also very satisfied with it after the accident.

There is no doubt that in their eyes this is how Zhou Yi behaves as a human being, and he is not at all proud of himself.

"Young comrade is still very modest."

It depends on the quality of the blessing song Zhou Yi can come up with. As long as the quality is good, it will gain big points in front of his supporters.

Everyone watches the Spring Festival Gala these days.
