Jay Chou didn't wait for the Grammy Awards. After talking to Qin Guan, he returned to Taiwan early for work.
The Taiwanese Music Critics Circle Awards, which was around the same time as the Grammy Awards, were also taking place.
For the Chinese music industry, Taiwan's music awards were much better than China's domestic music awards in terms of the way they were organized and the sales of their products.
Taiwanese musicians also attached great importance to their own music festivals.
After all, for a musician, winning an award wasn't as simple as gilding one's name.
At the Taiwan Music Festival that year, Jay Chou, who had been in the limelight, had failed to win the most popular album award.
Speaking of which, it was an ill-fated relationship. This award was won by Jolin Tsai, who dominated the headlines of the tabloids, who was currently fighting with him until their heads bled.
The reason why Jolin Tsai won this award was because her album sales exceeded Jay Chou's new album sales by more than 20%.
That would have been a terrifying figure in 2007.
But the day after Jolin Tsai went on stage to receive the award at the Taiwan Music Festival and Jay Chou was absent from the ceremony, the newspapers broke the news about the award.
The publisher was none other than Jay Chou, who had disappeared from the face of the earth.
He bluntly blasted Chen Zeshan, the boss of IME Music Company where Jolin Tsai worked, accusing him of falsifying and buying the most important factor in the selection process of this award: Taiwan's Chinese Pop Music Sales Chart, which was the most important factor in the selection process.
This practice directly made the sales of Jay Chou's latest album inferior to Jolin Tsai, becoming the second place on the sales chart. Therefore, it lost the heavy award of the best album sales at the music festival.
Zhou Jielun and the entire Chinese music industry couldn't tolerate this kind of unscrupulous behavior and the blatant use of money to buy and sell achievements.
The current Chen Zeshan was no longer just spending money to buy a ranking list for Cai Yilin.
After Jay Chou's disclosure, the current problem had risen to the credibility of the public rankings and the authenticity of the Chinese music industry.
Jay Chou, who wasn't afraid of making a big deal out of things, even directly mentioned his dissatisfaction and worries for the entire music industry when a Taiwanese music channel came to interview him on the show.
Because of Jay Chou's bluntness, the entire Taiwanese music industry and the music fans who had been paying attention to the Chinese music industry were in an uproar.
The chart that they had been following used to be the wind vane for buying albums and listening to music. If they couldn't believe in this, then what should they believe in today's music industry?
This trend of integrity was like a tornado, spreading to the periphery of the Taiwanese music industry.
Macau, Hong Kong, and even the mainland had become restless because of this news.
When Chen Zeshan, the person Jay Chou had accused, appeared in front of the media and said something, everyone was in an uproar.
"I feel that I am just a behind-the-scenes staff of a music company. I feel very sad about Jay Chou's accusation."
The reporter next to him was very confused about Chen Zeshan's expression of emotion. "If someone blasted me like this, regardless of whether this news is true or not, shouldn't he feel angry?"
Chen Zeshan: "No, I feel sad. Jay Chou has reached the status of such a superstar. He really shouldn't get involved in the dispute of this chart."
'Because this is an unspoken rule in the music industry. Who bought the charts, who didn't, and which position they bought, I think everyone in the music industry knows.'
Reporter: "… The public doesn't know, and the media doesn't know either."
But he still held the microphone patiently, waiting to see how sad Mr. Chen Zeshan was.
"Jay Chou is too stupid. What he said about me, other than making those music companies more vigilant and keep everything confidential when they cooperate with him, what else can he gain?"
Getting justice. This is exactly what a person with a wrong view of the world lacks.
The reporter who couldn't help but reply, "Then in Mr. Chen Zeshan's opinion, buying the chart is not a mistake, and even a tacit rule that should not be violated?"
Chen Zeshan was not stupid either. He began to talk about the topic. "I don't agree with buying the chart, but the record companies really like to use this method to promote their music."
"Then as the boss of a record company, since I have an effective promotion method, why don't I try it?"
"I am also against this trend, but everyone will do it. Only you are untainted by the mud, so what if your sales become very bad because of this?"
"So, you have to act together with them. This is also my helplessness and sorrow! "
Reporter: "Then is there no effective way to stop this behavior in the music industry today? Because it is a challenge to the credibility of society. "
Chen Zeshan's answer was very straightforward. "There is. Don't you see, Jay Chou jumped out to scold me? But what is the point of him doing this? He only mentioned me, the unlucky scapegoat who was found out. "
"In the end, the thunder is loud but the rain is small. The law can't punish the masses. It can't solve any problem at the root. "
"Besides, why did Jay Chou not say it earlier or later, but chose to leak the news of our company buying the chart for Jolin Cai when she won the award?"
"Can I assume that Jay Chou also bombarded me for personal feelings or business problems?"
The reporter on the side quickly made an obvious mark on the record he carried with him.
After the interview, during the report, Chen Zeshan's last sentence could be used to highlight the matter.
"Then what do you mean by the private matter between Jay Chou and Jolin Cai? Don't tell me they are still in a broken relationship? "
Chen Zeshan hurriedly waved his hand with all his strength. "I didn't say anything. These were just a few possibilities. If you write like this, I won't admit it. "
You don't want to admit it, but you still mentioned it. You are really angry with Jay Chou, and you are starting to play the blame game.
