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

Chapter 668 Please Give the Chinese Music Scene Some Hope

As we all know, in today's Chinese record market, if you have to pick a record company that is the richest and most influential in the industry, it must be Warner.

Although separated from its former parent company Time Warner, Warner Music's global channels have not declined too much.

After all, with Edgar Jr., a prodigal son who doesn't value money, as the boss, Zhou Yi, the stabilizing force, has transformed himself into a shareholder and is deeply bound to Warner.

Under such circumstances, Warner also established a new cooperation channel with high-tech company Apple, focusing on online music and taking the first bite of the big cake.

Thanks to Zhou Yi's English album contract with Apple, Warner's cash flow is extremely rich.

Zhou Jianhui had never fought such a prosperous battle in his entire life.

Don’t ask, the answer is invincible.

As the saying goes, if you have ten coins in your pocket, you will show off your wealth - if you don't show off the money you earn, how will people know that you have a fortune in your account?
Therefore, this year's Golden Melody Awards became a stage for Zhou Jianhui to demonstrate his ability to form alliances.

Viking Records was the first ally that Zhou Jianhui wanted to unite with.

As the boss, Yao Qian is like a godfather to Viking's number one sister Xiao Yaxuan. It is only natural for him to help Zhou Yi, right?
Forget about pursuing fairness, justice and openness. If we really want to pursue the "Gui Zang" of the Book of Changes, there should be no risks.

How can it be said that Xiao Yaxuan’s military medals for the US dollars he earns in Europe and the United States now have three quarters of Zhouyi——

Yes, Zhou Jianhui is so domineering.

In his opinion, if it weren't for Zhou Yi's lyrics and composition and the "Conan Show" that brought great freshness to the public, Xiao Yaxuan would not have been able to open up the English market in Europe and the United States.

Now Xiao Yaxuan is still constantly running around to consolidate her hard-earned popularity, trying her best to lead people with her songs.

The second is Universal Music.

You, Universal, have even drafted a contract to sign Daolang, but you have been hiding it very well - but have you really hidden it well?
If Global Times thinks that the recognition of the facts by Tan Yonglin and Li Zongsheng can be more widely spread than Zhou Yi's contempt, then he has nothing to say.

But actually it's not.

Therefore, facing Daolang's aggressive behavior, Zhou Yi has been too lazy to say anything. This can be considered as a favor, right?

After all, in this situation, remaining neutral and not adding insult to injury is helping you.

Besides, when Universal holds a press conference for signing Donald Trump, I, Zhou Jianhui, will send my best wishes on behalf of Warner. This will also show Warner’s attitude, right?

Finally, there is Ocean Butterflies Records.

Facing this record company that started in Singapore, Zhou Jianhui waved his hand and directly brought the two Li brothers, Sun Yanzi's mentors, into the battle, and first set up a wave of nearly -

Afterwards, he began to make clear his intentions and appeal to people's emotions and reason.

Two singers who became famous before and after Ocean Butterflies - A-du and Lin Junjie, both relied on Zhou Yi's help when they debuted. We didn't hold it against you at the beginning, but now you should at least show some appreciation, right?
I, Zhou Jianhui, don't owe you anything. As long as you are willing to lend a hand, Warner will directly and strongly support Ocean Butterflies' Lin Junjie to win this year's Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer. Everyone gets what they need.

Since A-du of Ocean Butterflies has not received a single Golden Melody Award nomination so far, you don’t want to see Lin Junjie continue to have this regret, right?
Wang Xinling's Avex Records also received Zhou Jianhui's attention. Based on the fact that your Avex parent company had previously purchased the copyright for Zhou Yi's song cover, Zhou Jianhui hosted a table and then went on to win over this side;

There is no need to say more about Yinghuang. Although Chen Yixun is a competitor at the Golden Melody Awards, but - well, it happens that Chen Yixun's conflicts with Yinghuang have become more and more intense recently, and it is hard to say whether he can continue to release albums in the future.

In this case, it would be no problem to ask Yinghuang for help.

As a result, under Zhou Jianhui's contact, the five record companies of Viking, Universal, Ocean Butterflies, Avex and Yinghuang Records were contacted together and joined Warner to collectively demand that the Golden Melody Awards maintain the principle of fairness and justice and not wrongly blame all the registered singers because of unfounded issues.

what?
You said this was for Zhouyi?

No, no, no, I, Zhou Jianhui, do this for the future of the record industry!

The physical record industry has been declining due to the rapid development of piracy and the Internet, and life is getting worse and worse every year.

It's times like this that the Golden Melody Awards, as an award currently recognized in the Chinese-speaking world as having considerable value, naturally have to maintain the principles of fairness and justice. I have even thought of the slogan for this year's Golden Melody Awards - "Please give the Chinese music scene some hope."

As the name suggests, the Golden Melody Awards is the hope retained by those who are still making music. It is also a double entendre, echoing the anti-piracy theme of the Golden Melody Awards and calling on everyone to fight against piracy.

Once this big pie was drawn and the big hat was put on it, not only were those who opposed Zhou Yi in the Golden Melody Awards Organizing Committee caught in a dilemma, but they also won over a lot of neutral people through Yao Qian and others.

As for why Zhou Yi is suddenly equated with the hope of the Chinese music scene, why not nominating Zhou Yi or giving him an award means that the Chinese music scene has no hope...

Young man, I advise you not to be ungrateful and not to ask questions that you shouldn't ask.

Warner Media’s water army, move out!
The smart entertainment and music team is on the move!
Because Zhou Yi himself has always deliberately maintained this, allowing a large number of people who want to slander him for fun to exist on the Internet and in real life, so that when the water army is dispatched at different times, few people can notice the clues.

After all, as we all know, there is no marketing in Zhouyi.

If there really was marketing control, with Zhou Yi's current achievements, he would have been silenced long ago.

No gag, that is no!

This marketing combination helped Zhou Yi to dominate the Golden Melody Awards nomination list again after creating momentum.

Best Album: "Gui Zang", Zhouyi.

Best Mandarin Male Singer: "Blue and White Porcelain", Zhou Yi.

Best Album Producer: "Gui Zang", Zhou Yi.

Best Composition: "Blue and White Porcelain", Zhou Yi.

Best Lyrics: "Blue and White Porcelain", "The End of War", "Seven Miles of Fragrance", Zhou Yi.

Best Arrangement: "Blue and White Porcelain", "The Art of War", and "The Book of Changes".

Best Music Video: "The End of War", Ning Hao/"Return to Tibet".

"What a pity! It would be nice if the best lyricist award should be "In the Blink of an Eye."

After finishing his work, Zhou Yi saw the list of nominees handed over by Qian Jiang, who always paid attention to the Golden Melody Awards nominations, and said with a smile: "Even if I don't want other nominations, I would be willing to be nominated and win the award for "A Flick of a Finger" instead."

Qian Jiang: "..."

You are kind of taking advantage of others.

Don’t you know how much effort Zhou Jianhui put into getting your album “Gui Zang” selected at the Golden Melody Awards?
In order to prevent Zhou Yi from talking nonsense, Qian Jiang took him through Zhou Jianhui's operation process briefly.

Zhou Yi shook his head and sighed that he was indeed a talented person who had once held a high position in the advertising industry.

After the Golden Melody Awards nominations were finally settled, the devastated Tao Zhe also received a word of comfort from his agent:

“It’s okay. After all, Zhou Jianhui was the one who made Leung Wing-kei famous through marketing methods before she came to Taiwan to release Short Hair.

"It was because of this performance that he was poached by Warner, which was in a slump at the time.

"It's just that he has been the president of Warner for so long that many people may have forgotten that he was the first one in Warner when it comes to marketing..."

Tao Zhe: “…”

Unfortunately, it is not realistic for him to go to Warner now, otherwise he would have to enjoy it.

Hmm? No, why does this make the company I chose seem more and more like a jerk?
