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

Chapter 625: What is happening in this country? I am lost in thought and ask

"Beyoncé was defeated by Spike!"

"The last fig leaf was torn off, a shameful night for the American music scene!"

What happened to the musicians in our country?

"..."

On February 2, photos of Zhou Yi holding six Grammy trophies and grinning with joy were published by media including Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and other newspapers, magazines, and television, attracting the attention of the industry and the public.

The Grammy Awards had already attracted a lot of attention, and now it has risen to a higher level, making the seriousness even more apparent.

Especially The Hollywood Reporter.

Founded on September 1930, 9, it has now grown into one of the two top newspaper giants in the American entertainment industry.

Initially, it only reported Hollywood movie news. After the popularization of television in the 1950s, it also began to report television news. It was no longer limited to movies, but expanded its reporting scope to music, drama, fashion, business and other fields.

The media is known for providing in-depth industry news, exclusive reports, reviews and analysis, and is often regarded as an authority in Hollywood.

As a weather vane of the Hollywood entertainment industry, it has a huge influence on the European and American celebrity circles and is one of the most authoritative media for reporting on North American entertainment information and major entertainment award ceremonies.

Because of the variable Zhou Yi, they naturally paid close attention to the entire Grammy Awards. However, the final result broke the defense of Daniel Wilman, one of the executive editors.

What happened to the musicians in our country?

This is his comment on this year's Grammy Awards.

“I don’t understand why Spike, a musician who started out as a musician, could evolve to this level in such a short period of time, while musicians in our country are still stuck in the past victories and glories.

“Last year, Norah Jones’s narrow victory over Spike in the Grammy Awards should have been a wake-up call for the American music scene, but few of our musicians took it seriously, leading to a shameful scene last night: Spike became the singer with the most Grammy Awards.

"They're still basking in the success of Beyoncé's solo career, but, God, she failed, she didn't beat Spike like Norah Jones did and defend the honor of American music.

"On American soil, a Chinese singer from China has won more Grammys than all American singers. Is this reasonable?"

Between the lines, one can see the broken defense and impotent rage of this fifty-year-old American who loves the Stars and Stripes. He even criticized Beyonce and Jay-z, who only knew how to engage in marketing hype - claiming that as the biggest hope to snipe Zhou Yi, they have disappointed people.

As another giant in the American entertainment industry, David Simon, executive editor of Variety, took advantage of the news that Zhou Yi swept the Grammy Awards and became the biggest winner to criticize the American system as usual.

"Talking about America from the perspective of Spike's Grammy sweep"

“Spike becoming the biggest winner of this year’s Grammy Awards made me think deeply.

"Spike's native language is not English. All the music and English knowledge he learned came from China. He has never set foot on American soil.

"This is the key to his rapid progress. The American laws that condone crime are destroying everything in our country.

“When singers like Jay-Y, P. Diddy, 50 Cent, etc., who are suspected of serious crimes, can openly perform on the stage to spread their values ​​to the public and be sought after, it means that the next generation’s music aesthetics are ruined.

“Spike’s rapid growth is due to his stable life and growth environment. But what about us?
"To be frank, I think our Spike is now under the threat of violence, drugs, guns and even death. This land has been polluted. This must be a problem with the system..."

What is going on in this country? I am lost in thought and want to ask myself!
This set of three consecutive qualities somewhat exaggerates Zhou Yi's sweep of the Grammy Awards this time.

The key is to have a basis for reason——

Let's not talk about anything else, just take this year's Grammy nomination list as an example. Shooting down eight out of ten may sound a bit excessive, but shooting down six will definitely mean there are some that slip through the net.

Even the award presenters can throw out a large number of criminals, including those who take drugs, pimp, and engage in unspoken rules...

He is rich, famous and has a high status. If he commits a crime, he pays some money and then puts on a show. Within three years, he is a hero again and continues to be active in front of the stage. He still has the image of a man who puts down his butcher knife and becomes a Buddha, and has earned a good reputation.

Let’s just say that Eminem, who was exposed for drug overdose in the past two years, can actually be considered clean in the American music scene.

In contrast, Zhou Yi, who came from China, is almost completely out of place in the American music scene. He has nothing to do with guns, violence, drugs, and drug abuse. He has many scandals, but he has not even had a scandal involving forced sex transactions.

Putting aside his flamboyant personality, he is simply a good kid and doesn't even have a tattoo.

It is no wonder that in the 1 Entertainment Person of the Year released by People magazine in January this year, Zhou Yi was able to top the list of the most popular male musician among women with 2003% of the female votes, far surpassing the second place Justin Timberlake.

No matter how Zhou Yi looks at this sentence structure, it seems familiar.

"Even though they are using you as a weapon to criticize others, it doesn't matter. You can still gain fame and fortune."

Qian Jiang was almost dying of laughter, and finally managed to hold it back before handing him the promotional plan for review: "In addition to the promotional activities listed above, there will be a recording session for the China-Japan Song Festival on the 22nd of this month. You will go to Japan on the 20th, and just have a simple rehearsal on the 21st."

On February 2004, 2, the China-Japan Song Festival was officially restarted. It was no longer just a spontaneous organization of a private association like last year.

As the leader, Zhou Yi would naturally go over and sing a few songs. "After that, you will have to go back to the United States at the end of the month to attend the Oscars with the crew of Pirates of the Caribbean."

"If I hadn't called the captain over, I wouldn't have bothered to agree to let him go to the Oscars."

Zhou Yi, who saw the Oscar journey, couldn't help but complain.

He arranged for Johnny Depp to be a guest on the Conan Show, so in exchange, it was only natural for the crew to let him go to the Oscars to help keep up the topic.

"Why not? This is a great opportunity for exposure. You don't get to show your face much in the United States anyway. Maybe you can even win the Best Song Award."

"No hope. This is the year of Lord of the Rings 3."

Zhou Yi poured cold water on Qian Jiang's optimism without mercy.

Last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" was indeed a global hit, but unfortunately it encountered the monster "Lord of the Rings 3" and was completely surrounded in all aspects. It was directly crushed in the ranking of various awards. This year's Oscars will naturally be no exception.

The 76th Academy Awards won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound Editing, Best Song, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score, Best Makeup Best Art Direction, Best Director and...Best Picture.

This is how the monster "The Lord of the Rings 3" swept the Oscars this year.

As the final film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, no one can stop it.

Zhou Yi shook two fingers and said, "Let's put it this way. It's basically the same as the "Forever Young" I brought out. In two words: invincible."

"Forever Young" is basically the strongest English album he could produce that is popular in both the East and the West, and it was made just to make a splash in 2003, the last year of the traditional record era.

This can be seen from the current B chart rankings. For nearly a year, all the songs are still in the top 30, and 3 of them have not fallen out of the top ten. This makes the entire North American music scene feel powerless even if they want to resist.

A truly dominant album.

The key is that with the help of the Apple Music Store, it is obvious that it will continue to dominate the charts for some time to come...

"Is 'Lord of the Rings 3' so fierce?"

"You think, although this thing is just average in East Asia, it is really killing people in Europe and America."

Zhou Yi closed the flyer nonchalantly.

However, just as he began to be interviewed on North American shows, the news of his rampage at the Grammy Awards caused a stir in East Asia.

To be precise, it is a "dispute over ownership" between South Korea and China.

On February 2, East Asian time, some Korean media, which had been planning for a long time, directly released the news that "Zhou Yi's ancestors were suspected to be Koreans" and also released the so-called evidence -

"The authentic Gangnam is in Korea! Not to mention Jiangxi, even Chinese people themselves rarely think that Jiangxi belongs to Jiangnan!"

Although it was just nonsense for the sake of popularity, this move won the praise of many Korean netizens...

When this news came out, Chinese netizens who were originally excited about Zhou Yi's sweep of the Grammy Awards were dumbfounded.

Damn it? !
How come Zhou Yi is of Korean descent?

"Shit! These bastards deserve a beating!"

"You're still fucking Gangnam orthodox, are you Korean enough to be that?"

"To be honest, although Koreans are shameful, Jiangxi really can't be considered Jiangnan. It feels a bit far-fetched. I wanted to say this before."

"I'm kidding, where are the three famous buildings and four academies in Jiangnan? Idiot!"

"It's because Jiangxi's economy has declined. Who would dare to expel someone from Jiangnan?"

"Don't rush into the regional infighting, or Zhou Yi's nationality will be revoked."

"..."

The Internet is a gathering place of elites, but they start attacking each other in different regions before the conversation even reaches the 10th floor. There is no sign of any Internet elites at all.

The only forums that made a lot of money were Tianya and other forums, because the war of words over the issue of regional ownership caused the forum traffic to increase in waves, and their mouths were almost crooked with laughter.

After all, as for Zhou Yi’s nationality, any normal person would know that he is not Korean, but the issue of the ownership of the Gangnam region has been a long-lasting debate on the Internet.

Zhou Yi had come here once before when he released his second album "Jiangnan", and now it's coming again...
