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

Chapter 712: Unexpected Ending

The article was very alarmist, directly exaggerating and distorting Zhou Yi's personal behavior into his intention to "poison" a new generation of American musicians and fans.

Qian Jiang, who wanted to control the comments, immediately asked Warner to contact Faye Richards, the reporter of the New York Observer who wrote the article. However, the other party's answer made him laugh and cry.

"I swear to God, that's not what I submitted."

As if fearing that Warner would not believe him, Faye Richards made an offline meeting and presented her manuscript in person.

"His original intention was to brag about you injecting new life into the stale American music scene, but after the manuscript was submitted, the editor made some changes, and the meaning presented after it was published was completely different."

After finding out the whole story, Qian Jiang was somewhat disgusted with the New York Observer's behavior.

The glamour moment of journalism belongs to yes.

"What a big deal."

Zhou Yi didn't care at all: "Just read more friendly comments to offset it."

He was prepared for this from the moment he chose the song "boom boom pow".

My impression is that T-Pain was criticized a lot when he first launched this new technology. As a person with extremely high influence in the world music scene, it was completely expected that he would be criticized even more badly.

As I said, technology is just a tool. If you don’t use it well, then that’s your fault.

Kanye West directly demonstrated the correct way to use 808 with a single . The Black Eyed Peas became a global star with it, but there are still so many singers who don't know their own limitations and use it as a shield to cover up their weak singing skills and rubbish voice.

Don’t blame the tools for the dish.

Everyone uses Photoshop to retouch their photos. Some people make their photos look like Feng Jie, while others make their photos look like Cai Yilin. We can’t blame Photoshop for this, right?
Besides, he has someone to speak up for him.

"Okay, this time it's still 'The Late Show with David Letterman'. The publicity for the second album was quite good and created a small peak in their ratings. Just be careful not to say anything that involves Michael Jackson."

Qian Jiang, who was reporting on his work, still reminded people to pay attention.

Because the two retro funk songs "24K Magic" and "That's What I Like" in the album are also very popular, and now both have squeezed into the top of the Billboard and are expected to reach the top, in addition to the so-called poison controversy, Michael Jackson has also been involved in the discussion.

Many fans of Michael Jackson were still cursing Eminem for being shameless, but then they saw that his competitor Zhou Yi's album had two songs that reminded them of Michael's peak period, and they immediately thought that this guy could be...

This must be a veiled expression of support for Michael!
This is a tribute!

This must be a tribute!

As for why Zhou Yi has never publicly expressed his views on Michael Jackson, his fans understand. After all, pedophilia is one of the most heinous crimes everywhere.

Besides, when Michael Jackson was embroiled in legal battles, Zhou Yi did not take advantage of his misfortune like Eminem did, but instead unexpectedly wrote a retro funk song, which was tantamount to helping their fans.

In everything, I am afraid of comparison.

The two people who are arguing the most fiercely in public opinion right now are:

Eminem directly followed the trend and criticized Michael Jackson, making a direct mockery in the music video;
Zhou Yi, on the other hand, said nothing, and the funk songs he wrote reminded them of Michael's past glory.

Wouldn't the gap be revealed by comparison?

buy!
stand by!

Must support strongly!
If for no other reason, just to put down Eminem's arrogance! You can fucking kill our Michael!

Originally, the fans of both sides might have been evenly matched, but after the songs "24K Magic" and "That's What I Like" became popular, more and more Michael Jackson fans spent money to buy albums to show their support - even Michael Jackson himself joined the battlefield.

On July 7, after a new round of inquiries, the exhausted former King of Pop Michael Jackson was interviewed by Fox and rarely named Eminem's insults to him in the album.

"I have never met Mr Eminem and I have always respected him but it is painful that he would do this. It is very sad that one artist would target another artist.

“Steve said he was a piece of shit, and I think Stevie Wonder was right, and I don’t want to say anything more, but he should be ashamed of what he did.

"It's wrong for Eminem to do this. I've been an artist all my life, I've done my job, and I've never attacked any of my peers. Great artists don't need to do this, and he shouldn't need to do this."

As for Zhou Yi, his evaluation instantly returned to his attitude towards his juniors: "Spike's music? Yes, I like it very much. He is a very imaginative artist.

"Although I have never met Mr. Spike, I respect him just as much."

For Michael Jackson, who always paid attention to his image on the screen, this was the first time that he directly criticized a colleague as shit in an interview with a major media like Fox.

After Fox broadcast this interview on August 8, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire American public opinion circle!
Countless Michael Jackson fans who were eager for Michael Jackson to fight back spread the news. They were moved to tears but also felt that Michael Jackson was too kind, as he was forced to this point before speaking out for the first time.

While supporting their idol, this group of fans also joined up with Zhou Yi's fans who had been fighting on the front line, waving their checks and vowing to help Zhou Yi win this sales battle!
Eminem and everyone at Universal were stunned.

They had planned everything, but they never expected that Michael Jackson would personally lead the band. This was totally inconsistent with the style of the King of Pop!
Grass!
That's not right, shouldn't you keep a low profile? !
"Thanks to this wave of popularity, many people will associate you with Michael Jackson. The topic of his child molestation is too dangerous and you must not touch it, so don't take any related topics on the David Letterman Show, understand?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After warning of the dangers, Qian Jiang couldn't help but sigh at the King of Pop's endurance: "But to be honest, it's miserable for him now. He can't even fight back. He can only accept interviews and let fans attack."

Zhouyi: "..."

"What's that look in your eyes?" Qian Jiang instantly noticed his strange gaze.

"No, it's nothing."

Zhou Yi chuckled and shook his head.

Is Michael Jackson a pure and innocent little white rabbit?
It's noisy.

It's just that it's difficult to take action now because we are at the center of the storm.

If I remember correctly, three years later, in 07, Michael Jackson, who had recovered from his shock, spent nearly $4 million to acquire the American publishing company Famous Music, which had the copyright to publish and distribute many songs in the United States.

This includes the distribution rights to all of Eminem's past albums.

Yes, this was Michael Jackson's simple and crude method of revenge: I'm going to save the country in a roundabout way and buy the rights to publish your songs. From now on, every time you perform publicly in a commercial setting, you give me a share of the proceeds.

That is to say, Michael Jackson died in 09, and Eminem only got back the copyright of his part of the album songs in 16. Otherwise, Eminem would have to work for Jackson and his estate fund committee for the rest of his life in disguise.

"I wrote the two songs '24K Magic' and 'That's What I Like' just to suck the blood of Michael Jackson, and now it seems to have worked out pretty well."

The Book of Changes makes no secret of its utilitarian purposes.

For him, this was like taking an open-book test with reference answers - all questions were easy points.

This outcome was doomed from the day the album was conceived.

Shoot the arrow first and then draw the target, and you will always hit the center of the bull's eye.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Michael Jackson would actually accept the interview in advance. But this is also a good thing, at least it can help him widen the gap between his album sales and Eminem again, and it can also help boost the rankings of these two songs on the Billboard.
