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

Chapter 709: Three years later, America still hasn't adapted to him

The red is warm.

Eminem is hot.

I work so hard to perform everywhere, I take three flights a day and never have to rest, what the hell are you doing? !

Why didn’t my team think of this marketing method?!

Are they all trash?!

fuck you!

One, two, three, four, five, six...

"Spike really went to the factory to tighten screws!"

"Warner's president personally leads the senior management to work and tighten the screws!"

"Warner Mobilizes! Singer Spike Becomes Worker Spike!"

"Album is in great demand! Someone has offered $3,000 for the album cover made by Spike himself on eBay!"

"Unprecedented! Because the album sold so well, I have to go to the factory to help tighten screws!"

《…………》

"I have actually seen the comments from fans urging me to go to the factory to package the new album. What everyone doesn't know is that I go there quite often. I arrived early yesterday morning. I came very early and took a nap in the workshop.

"When the work started, I went to the production line with my colleagues, including the president Ed. Ed said that we had to package at least 100,000 copies of the album, so that we could live up to the love of the fans..."

Every single one, every single one!
Every report had Spike's smiling face in a helmet, coupled with his face without a sweat during the interview and his words that this was complete bullshit in his opinion, Eminem felt that his mania was aroused once again.

Why!
Why!
Why!

When Eminem thought about how he had slept less than five hours a day these days, and how he had been flying around singing until his throat was hoarse, but the coverage and attention he received was outweighed by Zhou Yi's popularity, which required absolutely no effort at all, he couldn't help but feel furious and sad.

Why can’t his page be maximized?

Why aren't there as many reports about me as there are about him? !
"Calm down, calm down Eminem, don't get angry. Valerie, go get the medicine."

The agent quickly put down the arrangements at hand and gave instructions to the young assistant.

It is no secret in the industry that Eminem needs drugs to control his emotions and sleep.

His mother sued him in court, he fought with his wife for custody of their daughter, and other shattered things in his life almost broke this man's mind. If it weren't for his best friend by his side, he would probably have completely fallen and killed himself by taking an overdose of drugs.

"Work is the most important thing. Remember, you can't stay popular forever by using crooked means. The sales volume between you is not much different, and there is not much gap in the Billboard rankings. You must maintain high-intensity exposure. You can't ruin yourself at this time."

Although the agent felt devastated by the unexpected move made by that damn Spike, he still maintained his professionalism and persuaded the artist to stay.

To this day, the two sides are competing fiercely not only on the sales charts, but also on the rankings on the Billboard charts.

Of course, they fight fiercely, which means someone is going to get into trouble.

From the 15th to the 18th, seven songs from Zhou Yi's three albums directly entered the charts: "Trespassing", "boom boom pow", "24K Magic", "That's What I Like", "Sexy Back", "Happy", and "drag me down".

Once again, people are amazed at this man's ability to create hit products.

However, due to different resource distribution, the rankings of these seven songs have changed over time.

For example, four songs including "boom boom pow", "That's What I Like", "Sexy Back" and "Happy" all entered the top 30, among which "boom boom pow" and "Sexy Back" entered the top ten.

The unlucky person who was squeezed out of the top ten by Zhou Yi happened to be the old victim Avril Lavigne - the song "My Happy Ending" from her new album this year happened to be ranked ninth on the Billboard chart.

I don’t know if it’s fate or something else, but it looks like Avril’s dream of winning the singles title this year will be ended by Zhou Yi himself…

"Shit! I accepted your invitation and appeared as a guest on your talk show for free!"

Knowing that she would have to send it again this year, Avril called Zhou Yi immediately. While she was aggressive, she also congratulated him on his achievement: "I'm telling you, if you don't win the championship, your efforts will be in vain!"

Once you are overtaken by Zhou Yi, it is basically impossible to overtake again.

This is Avril's personal experience.

She was young and ignorant back then, but she is no longer sensible now. So ninth is fine.

"Is there a possibility that your song can only rank ninth at most, and my appearance will allow you to have a dignified exit?" Zhou Yi was still on his way to promote the song when he received the call.

The marketing of screw driving does work wonders, but it can only help him to be lazy. If he wants to achieve good results in the end, he still has to rely on down-to-earth publicity.

"How is that possible? Can't you say something nice?" Avril couldn't hold it in anymore.

No matter how you look at it, she seems to be doing well. Are you taking advantage of her and acting like a good kid?

"To be honest, the momentum of your song has clearly begun to wane."

"Ok?"

"Okay, okay, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"That's more like it. Come on, I want to see if you can take down Arthur."

Avril didn't really want to blame him, so she hung up the phone after a few simple words. Zhou Yi glanced at the file data in his hand and smiled and shook his head.

To be honest, he didn't lie. After all, Avril Lavigne only had one number one single in her entire career, "Girlfriend" in 07.

As for Usher she mentioned, he had already snatched away the song "Yeah" which was supposed to dominate the Billboard charts this year. But now he has come up with an equally well-produced song called "YES". Looking at the name, he seems a little overwhelmed.

This R&B king brought up by P. Diddy and a good friend of Michael Jackson has reached the pinnacle of his career since releasing his album in March this year.

I just don’t know…

Well... forget it, I'd better not think about it.

After all, even if P. Diddy spends more money, it has nothing to do with him. Besides, P. Diddy probably doesn't have that much influence these days.

After shaking his head and putting aside all distracting thoughts, Zhou Yi took a deep breath and began his journey.

Wherever he went, there were loud gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, waving banners, and huge crowds of people.

One word to describe it: This is the superstar!

As for the sales and singles charts, this superstar lived up to expectations and dominated the charts!
As the so-called two-strong marketing became more and more intense, the sales of his albums also continued to rise - breaking one million in two days, breaking 1.57 million in three days, and breaking 2.1 million in six days!

Although Eminem was always close behind him, he was unable to overtake him after a week.

Such Zhou Yi, who remained firmly at the top, plunged most of the American music scene into despair.

On July 2004, 7, when Billboard officially released a new chart, Zhou Yi's name not only appeared on the sub-charts of various categories, but also continued his past outstanding performance on the Hot 20 chart.

At the same time, in just six days, he defeated Usher, who was ready to promote the album, and achieved the first No. 1 single with the song "Boom Boom Pow" -

There is even a song called "Sexy Back" ranked second, eyeing the championship throne.

More importantly, judging from the momentum of other songs in the album, Zhou Yi's album has far more than just these two songs that have the potential to become the top single...

"Horrible! So terrifying! This is simply an indescribable dominance!"

"Who else could beat Spike? I can't think of it!"

"Eminem, go ahead! Carry the hope of the entire American music scene! Don't lose! You still have a chance!"

"The album is a long-distance race, come on Eminem!"

"Don't even compare with the billboards. Spike's ability to create No. 1 singles is simply incredible!"

"..."

As we all know, the Billboard chart has been known for its high difficulty since its establishment. Even Michael Jackson at his peak could not say that making a number one single was as easy as drinking water.

"When Spike first came to the United States, we all said that the American music scene was cruel and that he would definitely go home crying to his mother. We all thought that he would not achieve the results that he could only dream of on the Billboard charts and that he would not be able to adapt to the American music environment.
"When Spike came to the United States for the second time, we all said that we have Madonna, Linkin Park, and many, many top singers. We all thought that he would not achieve miraculous results on the Billboard charts, and he must not be able to adapt to the intensity of the top American singers;

“Now, it’s the third year.

"Three years!"

On the 21st, the editor-in-chief of the Chicago Sun-Times, one of the top three best-selling newspapers in the United States, personally wrote an article on the entertainment front page with the title: "Three years later, America still hasn't adapted to him."

"In his first season in the United States, he won the coveted championship. His reputation as a champion was fully demonstrated after Spike's second album.

“Spike’s strength makes all of us feel at a loss. Some people even questioned Spike before, saying that he still needs to adapt to America!

"Now, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that America needs to adapt to Spike—

"We all need to adapt Spike!"
