Homecoming of Rebirth

When the host Wu Zongxian saw the score of this song, he invited Jay Chou to work as a music assistant in Alpha Music Company.

During this period, Jay Chou has been staying in Alpha Music, and also tried to write songs for top singers such as Hua Tsai, Ah Mei, etc.

It's a pity that due to my personal music style is too obvious, it has never been adopted.

Two years later, in December 1999, Wu Zongxian proposed an impossible task to Jay Chou who had been settled for two years.

If he can write 10 songs within 50 days, he will pick 10 of them and give Jay Chou a solo album.

then……

These ten songs include: "Xingqing", "Perfectionism", "Lovely Woman", "Bullfighting", "Black Humor", and "Tornado".

In the era of the post-Four Heavenly Kings, the most influential superstar in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene was born in this way.

It's a pity that Qi Lei was only one step late, Jay Chou's album "Jay" was released on November 11th, 7 days later than Pangu's press conference.

If he could see Hua Tsai's playlist a month earlier, thinking of such a person, he would definitely let Jay Chou put the first release of his new album on the blog, then he wouldn't have to worry about where to find a big hit .

However, it is not too late.

It's November 11st, and it's only been two weeks since the release of "jay".

For a newcomer, Jay Chou has just started his acting career, and he is far from reaching the state of being famous and popular.

At this moment.

Treasure Island...

The winter in Baodao is much warmer than that in Beijing.

Leslie Cheung, who had just finished his trip to the capital and was preparing for a concert in Taiwan, received a call.

Hanging up the phone, I complained helplessly, "I've only met once, why don't you be so familiar!"

The manager was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Guorong, "It's okay, a boss in the Mainland, please help."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Guorong packed up his things, "I'll go out for a while."

Leaving the rehearsal scene, Zhang Guorong also made a phone call, "Xiaoxian, is there a handsome guy in your company?"

……

"Go back to your company and meet that handsome boy."

An hour later, Al played music.

Wu Zongxian looked inexplicably at Zhang Guorong who came to visit suddenly, and sitting beside him was a young man in his early 20s with small eyes, as if he hadn't woken up.

Wu Zongxian didn't talk nonsense: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Guorong ignored his old friend, looked at the young man named Jay Chou, and suddenly smiled: "You are lucky, and a boss wants to praise you. 500 million, three songs, online debut, do you want to do it?"

Jay Chou: "?????"

do?What plane are you doing?Where is the boss?liar?

"Do it!!" But Wu Zongxian agreed without even thinking about it.

The current Jay Chou is not popular yet, 500 million?Which one is being taken advantage of?Xiao Zhou can write five poems in one day, earning nearly two 500 million yuan.

Grinning, "Boss is so powerful, why don't you give me a few more songs, even a discount!"

Jay Chou, who was only 21 years old, still had a confused face, and said cutely, "The company will give me the money?"

Wu Zongxian hesitated, "This is a problem!"

Looking at Zhang Guorong, "For the singer, or the company? I want a commission!"

Zhang Guorong was speechless, just like that little Mr. Qi, he was all funny.

Looking at that stupid young man, Zhang Guorong really couldn't figure it out, why did Xiao Qi take a fancy to him?

※※※

With the current traffic of blog.com, it is not too easy to promote an original singer who already has topic and potential.

In addition, Qi Lei, a genius in communication, created a little topic and became popular quickly without any difficulty.

Besides, Qi Lei's ability to choose songs goes without saying.

The three songs are: "Nunchaku", "Simple Love", and "Qilixiang".

The two songs were composed and produced by Jay Chou himself, and Vincent Fang and Ruoxuan Hsu wrote the lyrics.

"Seven Lixiang" was written by Qi Lei, and Jay Chou originally wanted to use "Love in BC" for the third song.

However, Qi Lei felt that although love was good before BC, it was not the best. If he wanted to smash it, he would feel like Wang Zha, so he replaced it with Qilixiang.

After seeing it, Jay Chou was quite surprised, "Oh, it's like my style!"

Qi Lei, "Style like you belongs to your name!"

Jay Chou: "Not too good?"

Qi Lei, "Don't worry! What I want is a sensational effect, and your name is just right!"

Jay Chou, "It's still not very good."

Qi Lei stared, "That's it!"

Jay Chou said in his heart, "Oh? It's fierce."

……

I have to say that Jay Chou's style is really too special, too different, and too cool.

It is completely different from the tonality of traditional love songs. It sings Chinese as if it were topical like English, plus its own talent.

Refreshing.

Coupled with the popularity of the blog, Jay Chou instantly became popular.

And Jay Chou's big fire is different from Wang leather trousers' trending trend and a certain star's blog entry, it is exactly the kind of social influence that Qi Lei wants.

It has been sung in the streets and alleys, and young people have sought after it. It started with a blog and has been enduring for a long time.

Oh, by the way, just a few days after Jay Chou posted a song on his blog, Wang Leather Pants was photographed by a tabloid reporter having an affair with an unknown woman, and the relationship was exposed.

Once again, Wang Piku's predictive ability was verified.

……

It's mid-December.

The three songs that were first released on the blog, and the word-of-mouth of the album "jay" gradually increased.

Only then was Qi Lei satisfied, "It's in place! It's a bit in place!"

"If Microsoft doesn't make a move, then he is a salted fish!"

Everyone didn't understand that the topicality and popularity brought by Jay Chou only increased the blog's presence once again, and had nothing to do with your Pangu 2.0.

What are you so happy about?

As everyone knows, Microsoft sees the problem from a completely different perspective.

For more than a month, what ordinary people have seen is that blogs are getting more and more popular and hotter every day.

But in the eyes of Microsoft, they see many different details.

First, there is a detail in Sanshi's December financial report that was overlooked by many people.

The profit of Internet cafes under Sanshi has increased by 16% in the past month.

This growth rate is 5% higher than the increase of students' online time during the summer vacation.

10% higher than in October.

What does that mean?That is: the Internet cafes under Sanshi generally performed well in November, with a huge increase.

And Microsoft China also got a data, that is: In November, the year-on-year profit growth of other Internet cafes in the Greater China region was negative!

What do you mean?

In other words: the profits of other Internet cafes are declining, while Sanshi is growing.

The year-on-year Internet customer flow of other Internet cafes is decreasing, while that of Sanshi is increasing.

The second is the details. Among the registered users of blog.com, those who have the Pangu system exclusive icon and the Pangu exclusive homepage decoration, according to Microsoft's rough statistics, account for about 11%.

Based on the recent announcement by Sanshi Company that the blog has 2400 million registered users, that is...

264 million users have the exclusive privileges of Pangu! !

Third, as of now, there are about 200 million active bloggers on the blog, who have uploaded audio and video files.

These three data are very worthy of analysis and intriguing.

Why are the users of Sanshi Internet Café growing?

What's more, although Sanshi Company didn't announce the installed capacity of Pangu System, it wouldn't jump to 264 million installed capacity in just over a month, right?Where did the more than 200 million exclusive icons come from?

What's more, it doesn't have to be a user who has installed the Pangu system, but he must play a blog.

Could it be... Pangu's installed capacity is more than 264 million? 300 million, 400 million? ?

Also, upload audio and video files. More than 200 million users!

At present, it is basically impossible to upload files to the blog in windows.

In other words, these 200 million users uploaded through the Pangu system.Does Pangu really have that many users?

So the question is, what are the reasons for the above three points?

Microsoft came to two conclusions:

First, the installed capacity of the Pangu system has really reached a terrifying amount.

Although this is unlikely, Microsoft's statistics department and sample survey results all point to the fact that the installed capacity of the Pangu system will not exceed 50 units.

However, the senior management was still in a cold sweat.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!If it's that high, it's over.

Second, there are not so many installed users, but exclusive icons obtained from Internet cafes and files uploaded in Internet cafes.

This illustrates another problem.

That is, many people who have a computer with Windows at home, even if they have never used to go to Internet cafes before, choose to go to the Internet cafes joined by Sanshi for the purpose of dressing up their blogs, uploading files, and increasing the content quality of their personal blogs. operate.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the traffic of other Internet cafes is declining, but the traffic of Sanshi Internet cafes is increasing.

This kind of speculation is more likely, but it is also scary enough.

What does it mean?

It shows that many people are passively accepting the Pangu system.

Especially after Jay Chou, a new star, went to Sanshi Internet Cafe to surf the Internet, and the data of the sample survey showed that the number of people going to Sanshi Internet Cafe was increasing, and the number of people changing the current Windows system to Pangu system was also increasing.

What's even more frightening is that as more and more people have experienced the Pangu system, the base is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more searches on major search engines about topics related to personalized UI, Tai Chi themes, and so on.

From the perspective of professional communication, this "many" has reached a critical point.

If this continues, the personalized UI and the Pangu system will soon become a phenomenon-level topic among Chinese netizens.Thus triggering the process from quantity change to quality.

Microsoft can't sit still.

Let Qi Lei continue to toss through the blog, Pan Gu will probably survive.

So, Microsoft made a move.

Since mid-December, Microsoft's public relations department began to speak frequently to the society.

〖For the threat from Asia, Microsoft still maintains its strength, and the Pangu system does not pose any threat to Microsoft! 〗

……

〖The rise of blogs in China is a typical case of over-marketing.Three Rock's purpose is not web2.0, their motivation is not pure, they just want to promote the acceptance of an inferior system. 〗

……

〖The Windows user experience upgrade plan is progressing smoothly, and soon we will give you a user experience that far surpasses that of the Chinese system. 〗
