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

Chapter 646 Third Album "Listen/Future Sounds" (Part )
"Did the Sun reporter crawl under the bed?"

It was already noon and Zhou Yi, who was eating breakfast with the newspaper brought by his assistant in his hand, felt suspicious and could not help turning his head to take a look under the bed.

In the open bathroom, Scarlett Johansson came out after taking a bath, wiping her hair, and casually wrapped herself in a bathrobe, but she looked even more beautiful the moment she sat down.

"Is it possible that they make a living by their talent for writing?"

Glancing at the description of herself in the newspaper, Scarlett Johansson didn't take it seriously at all: "That's nothing. At least they didn't take any photos of us naked. If it were the people in the past, they might have hidden under the bed to take photos and record you."

"You guys are so wild?"

"Welcome to Hollywood, honey, where heat is everything."

Scarlett Johansson picked up her phone and replied to her agent's message with a smile. She drank the coffee that had been prepared long ago with a hoarse voice: "Do you need me to cooperate with you in any PR work?"

"No, I don't need this. But you, are you okay?"

Zhou Yi folded off a corner of the newspaper and pointed out the window: "Do you believe that there are many reporters squatting outside who want to interview you and me?"

"well..."

Scarlett Johansson shook her hair, leaned back in the chair, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Although this is an accident, I think it is a good trend. At least it grabbed the headlines, didn't it?"

"You are open-minded."

"Thanks for the compliment."

The woman who ate a grape smiled and lifted her leg to cross the man's thigh: "But, there still needs to be a reason that is made public."

"...?"

Half an hour later, as a large number of reporters outside the hotel waited eagerly, Scarlett Johansson, wearing a simple denim jacket and high-waisted casual pants and a pair of black high heels, appeared in their camera.

"Scarlett?!"

"It's Scarlett!"

"Ms. Scarlett, are you currently dating Spike?"

"Scarlett, what do you think of Tizhen?"

"Scarlett..."

The woman who was surrounded by cameras and cameras did not panic at all. She had a smug smile on her face. “In fact, I haven’t watched the news yet, so I don’t know what happened. However, there is no relationship between Spike and I as you said.”

“But someone took a picture of——”

"It's just a misplacement. In fact, the reason I sent Spike back, besides because he also lives here, was because I was planning to talk to him about the music video schedule. I'm the heroine in one of the music videos for his new album."

"And someone else said you spent a lot of time in Spike's room—"

"I'm very interested in Chinese. Of course I have to find Spike to learn Chinese, right?"

"..."

Do you think I believe it or not?

You are still learning Chinese, are you kidding me?!
"I'm not with Spike, I'm still single and so is he. In fact, the reason we got to know each other so well is because I was interested in his new album "Listen/Future Sounds", and we--"

——? !

"Wait, sorry, I have to go, please make way."

Scarlett Johansson, who seemed to be really anxious, emphasized it again in an extremely fast tone, but the album name that she accidentally let slip made her react instantly and she immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Now it was the reporters' turn to get anxious.

My mom got an unexpected bonus?!

I didn't expect Spike's new album to be exposed in this way. And you still say that it's okay for you two to be innocent? !
As if it had wings, the leaked news about Zhou Yi's new album spread all over the Internet immediately. Someone with wide connections called the Warner insider, but the insider still didn't know anything.

What?

New album confirmed?
I do not know.

As Zhou Yi's agent, Qian Jiang's phone was immediately bombarded with calls -

This made him somewhat amused and helpless.

To be honest, even he only knew about the album title after reading the news and hearing rumors. Before that, he only knew that Zhou Yi had been hesitating and wavering between several album titles.

"It was confirmed after the Oscars last night. We can start production after we return home in a few days."

Because of Zhou Yi, Warner (China) directly introduced a batch of the most advanced recording studio equipment in the world for use by the company's singers after the reorganization of its headquarters.

Sun Yanzi, Wang Feng, Hu Yanbing and even He Jiong who just came here recently can all use these good equipment with the help of Zhou Yi.

You know, even Sony (China) is reluctant to update these things. In order to keep improving, the current Sony (China) No. 1 Wang Lihong sometimes has to go back to the United States to make songs. In the case of similar recording environments, Zhou Yi obviously prefers to return to China, where he will feel more comfortable making songs in a familiar environment.

"Okay, send me your requirements and I'll help you arrange it."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi sat on the chair, twirling the pen in his hand, glancing at the finalized 12 song titles on the paper, and fell into deep thought.

"listen/Future Sounds", the Chinese translation is "Listen/Future Sounds".

A song title with a double meaning that carries a metaphorical connotation.

Side A, Track 1: "Trespassing"

One of Adam Lambert's representative works, it starts with the topic of "illegal trespassing" and combines it with a funk style. It has a full sense of rhythm and can also echo the accusations he has received from some European and American media.

More importantly, he once said something similar to the lyrics of this song at the press conference where he exposed 50 Cent, and now he has recycled it into the album to fight back against those media people.

The second song: "boom boom pow".

The Black Eyed Peas' showpiece work is also the masterpiece that helped them reach the top of the world.

Not only did it top the charts in more than a dozen countries around the world, it also topped the U.S. Billboard Singles Chart for an incredible 12 consecutive weeks - a full three months!

This song also echoes the beginning of the "future sound" in the album title. The psychedelic atmosphere is filled with technology that can be called advanced.

The third song: "24K Magic".

Mars won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

Like "Trespassing", this song is also filled with an extremely dynamic funk style, but the arrangement and production are visibly exquisite and ahead of its time.

Of course, the reason why Zhou Yi chose this song was because of the lyrics of the song -

"Pop pop, it's show time (The chart-topping moment begins here)
"Guess who's back again?"

“Oh they don’t know?
“I bet they know soon as we walk in.”

Yes, this song is so crazy, and it perfectly fits Zhou Yi’s status and current situation at this moment——

After the counterattack in "Trespassing" and the showmanship in "boom boom pow", the third song "24K Magic" is telling you clearly that I am back, and no matter how much you dislike it, it will be of no use, I am going to dominate the charts.

After that, there were two more chart-topping singles like "boom boom pow":

Song 4: "That's What I Like".

Mars Brother’s single is a song with an extremely sexy style. It not only fits Zhou Yi’s unrestrained behavior in terms of emotions, but also fits his image and personality very well.

"So pop it for a pimp (Look who is so handsome and sexy)

"Pop pop it for me
"Turn around and drop it for a pimp

“Drop drop it for me.”

This is the general meaning of one of the lyrics, which, like "24K Magic", is very suitable for his current status:

The previous song announced his return, and this one let everyone salute his arrival.

Fifth song: "Sexy Back".

This is the masterpiece that helped Justin Timberlake, nicknamed Boss Justin, become the world's top singer.

Not only did it top the charts around the world, it also stayed at the top of the US charts for seven consecutive weeks, firmly establishing its position in the music industry after its solo debut.

The song has a sexy style and a double entendre. It not only means "sexy return", but also refers to Zhou Yi's sexy return.

Because there were several songs in his first album that were evaluated as sexy, but there were no such songs in his second English album.

Now with the third album, sexiness has returned - "Sexy Back".

And because the lyrics of this song are somewhat unorthodox, giving people a sense of freedom and unrestrainedness, so there is the last song on Side A -

The sixth song on side A: "Lose Control".

One of the representative works of Canadian pop rock band Hedley, a strong rhythm pop rock song, peaked at No. 7 on the Canadian singles chart.

While the first five songs each express their own voice, this song as a whole is centered around a sense of wantonness and release, giving people a feeling of being immersed in the rhythm and melody of rock and roll and gradually losing control.

It is also a summary of the self-indulgent painting style on the A side:

Free, unrestrained, likes to show off, seems out of control, very happy, but sounds very rhythmic and cool.
