Chapter 701 Two Troublemakers from the East and the West
For those unique singers in the world music scene, their nicknames often represent a symbol and a lasting impression. It is even very likely that this nickname will directly replace the singer's real name and become the nickname for him in the world.

A typical example is Elvis Presley.

Many people may not have heard many of his songs, let alone know that his name is actually Elvis Presley. But when you hear the nickname "Superstar Elvis", a first impression of a person you have never met may instantly emerge in your mind -

Oh, it’s that American music superstar. I’ve heard of him and I know him.

That’s the power of labels.

This is the empire that Elvis Presley built during the brilliant first half of his career, and it is an inherent impression that belongs to him alone.

As the world music scene has developed to this day, all kinds of domineering or memorable nicknames have actually been used up. After entering the new century, Britney, who inherited the title of American Sweetheart, and Avril, known as the punk witch, have successfully solidified their own labels.

As for male singers, many have tried since the new century, but none of them have succeeded. The only one who emerged was Eminem, who successfully integrated the nickname "Goofball" into his singing career at the end of the last century. He is nicknamed Goofball Eminem all over the world.

Zhou Yi has achieved some success, but he does not have a very memorable nickname - the Magician from the East, the Lion from the East, Spike, etc. None of them are catchy and spreadable, nor are they concise enough, and they are not nicknames.

In this situation, Warner Records took Zhou Yi's current situation into consideration and chose a nickname for him that is extremely well-known worldwide: Phoenix.

"Since my debut, I have encountered many setbacks, and have encountered various public opinion crises and wars one after another, but I have been able to rise from the ashes of explosive public opinion every time, and I have become stronger each time." -

Spike the Phoenix.

He now has a strong enough resume to support this nickname, so people won't think he is trying to scam him.

The phoenix, which is reborn from the ashes time and time again, will never lower its proud head and will always soar in the sky - just like Zhou Yi's experience over the years.

Especially this time in the UK, the door that he kicked open at the concert was deeply imprinted in the minds of nearly 120,000 spectators. These people are the most loyal believers of "Spike the Phoenix".

Therefore, after Zhou Yi himself said this famous quote on the 10th, the publicity machine behind Warner began to operate in an orderly manner, reinforcing the connection between the two in the minds of the audience over and over again.

As the song "Unstoppable" topped the major radio charts in the UK, Zhou Yi, who was promoting the song, naturally transformed his impression into that of the Phoenix.

"Phoenix, interesting, why don't you call yourself Porsche Man?"

At a London racecourse, Eva Green, who was leading a horse, teased the man's new nickname: "You sang about Porsche in your new song. I heard they want to negotiate an endorsement contract with you."

“Is it possible that the name Phoenix is ​​much more prestigious than Porsche in the entire Western world?”

After handing her pony over to the staff, Zhou Yi strolled on the horse farm and did not forget to play with her horse with hay: "Besides, there are so many myths and legends related to the phoenix all over the world, which will also help me grow my fame in other continents."

Eva Green tutted, her eyes full of smiles: "I'm going back to Paris, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Bon voyage?"

"You're such an asshole that you even asked a question."

"It looks like you've discovered my true colors."

Zhou Yi laughed as he stroked the brown horse's head, then stood there and opened his arms to her: "However, I hope that when I go to Paris to promote my new album, you can ignore these things and entertain me well as a good host." "That's hard to say."

Eva Green raised her eyebrows noncommittally, took the initiative to approach the man and hugged him goodbye: "If you lose to that American scoundrel, I might not see you."

"I won't lose."

Feeling the woman's embrace on his back, Zhou Yi looked up at the sky above London which was beginning to darken, and said with certainty.

Eva Green raised the corner of her mouth, then shrugged her nose and patted him on the back: "You know, sometimes your confidence looks really arrogant. The result hasn't even come out yet, and you are so sure that you won't lose. The opponent's momentum is no worse than yours."

If Zhou Yi is the most conspicuous troublemaker in the entire Eastern music scene, then Eminem is currently the most troublesome singer in the entire Western music scene.

Discussions and news about both parties are frequent headlines.

Zhou Yi has been making headlines in the UK recently with the pre-release single "Unstoppable" from his new album, while Eminem has been making waves in the US with the pre-release single "Just Lose It" from his new album "Encore" -

The reason is simple, simply because this man's song directly targets the world's former No. 1 pop star Michael Jackson, who was embroiled in a pedophilia scandal.

There is no disguise, just a straight shot to insult.

This also caused an uproar in the United States. Countless Michael Jackson fans broke down and started cursing, and a large number of media followed up, directly letting more people know that Eminem would be releasing a new album soon.

Zhou Yi and Eminem’s manipulation of public opinion in Britain and the United States can be said to be another me in the world - very similar, but not exactly the same.

Zhou Yi used Arsenal's undefeated title to attract attention to his concert, and then continued to speak out against many British media, allowing "Unstoppable" to break the 20-year record of the British radio chart and win the championship by a landslide;
Eminem, with the attention brought by his slander of Michael Jackson and his own super popularity, made the song "Just Lose It" directly break the 21-year record of the US radio chart, and ranked first in the history of the American music scene with a record-breaking total of million first-week listens.

The most important thing is that Eminem, who had previously claimed that Zhouyi was nothing but "black magic", had already stated that his new album "encore" would be released in July - due to anti-piracy reasons, he only recently officially announced the time: July 7th.

It was released on the same day as Zhou Yi’s new album “Listen/Future Sounds”.

Obviously, this year, these two troublemakers who have been fighting each other since 02 are going to decide the winner with albums in this busy July.

"It's because the results haven't come out yet that I say I won't lose. That's called confidence."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "If you wait until the results come out before saying these things, that's not confidence, that's just a retelling of the facts."

After the hug, Eva Green leaned against the wooden railing with one arm bent at the elbow and took off her sun hat with one hand. She said with emotion: "You two are really tough. You didn't even change the date. Are you really going to gamble your reputation?"

In a real head-on confrontation, whoever loses will never be able to raise his head in front of the other party again.

This is an extremely rare scene in the history of world music, and it is a decision that only singers who are absolutely confident in their own abilities dare to make.

The last battle to take place on the same day was in the Japanese music scene in 2001. That protracted battle of light steps directly brought about an insurmountable sales peak in the Japanese music scene since the new century.
