China Entertainment 2000

Sun Yanzi, who is a lazy guy at home, is still as strong as ever in the market this year.

Since the new album "Stefanie" was released on November 14, as of December 10, thanks to her performances as Sun Yanlu, the sales volume nationwide has officially exceeded 670,000.

Including the sales in Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, the sales in Asia have exceeded 830,000 copies. If nothing unexpected happens, the album will surely sell over a million copies in Asia.

Since her debut, every album of hers has sold over a million copies, making her the most deserving of the title among Warner’s former queens.

This is real sales data without any dilution.

Currently, except for Elva Hsiao, who has not released any Chinese albums and whose data is unpredictable because she has been mainly active abroad this year, among all the female singers in the Chinese music scene, only Sun Yanzi has achieved the terrifying figure of one million albums sold across Asia.

The three songs "In My Singing", "Wall of Heart" and "Red High Heels" written by Zhou Yi for her have frequently been on the major radio charts in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the Mainland. Other songs in the album, such as "Run" and "I Miss Him Too", have also performed well and are widely sung.

One album and three hits, a total of five popular songs, once again added a bit of bragging style to Stefanie, the English album of the same name by Stefanie Sun - the most obvious improvement in treatment, the commercial performance price has soared to 1.2 million RMB for three songs.

Sun Yanzi, who has transformed into a nuclear-powered donkey, has made a lot of money just by taking on two or three commercial performances when promoting in each city these days. Especially at the end of the year, there are so many commercial performances.

It’s just that she has been with Zhou Yi for too long, so she is now immune to numbers of this level—

"It's not bad. Many people can reach this price. For example, Xueyou and his friends all pay the same price."

Faced with the congratulatory calls from a group of singer friends he met in Taiwan, Sun Yanzi seemed very calm and directly pulled out older generation singers such as Zhang Xueyou and Wang Fei as shields.

As one of the top female singers since the millennium, the price she pays for participating in commercial performances cannot be concealed.

This is actually the maximum appearance fee in the singer circle. To be honest, only the Four Heavenly Kings during their peak period in the 1990s could exceed this price.

Even Jay Chou, the young superstar who is now known as the best singer after Zhou Yi, only received an appearance fee of 800,000 yuan for three songs.

If Zhou Yi is not counted, Sun Yanzi, who has drastically reduced the number of commercial performances, has seen her appearance fee soar because of scarcity. She is now on par with Wang Fei and is ranked first on the list of female singers with the most expensive appearance fees together with Elva Hsiao, who has enjoyed a huge success in the English market.

"Besides, Zhou Yi's appearance fee is almost 4 million. Compared to him, I am nothing."

Sun Yanzi, who is well aware of her low-key nature, brought up this Warner God amid the compliments from S, S., Luo Zhixiang, Kang Kang, Cai Yilin, Wilber Pan, Wang Xinling, Zhang Shaohan, and Fish Leong, and instantly shifted the discussion about herself to Zhou Yi, who could not go to Taiwan at all.

Master Luo, who was very enthusiastic before, suddenly became as quiet as a chicken, with deep envy in his eyes: "That can't be helped, after all he is Zhou Yi."

This year, he became a popular idol star in Taiwan with the song "Gray Space" and the idol drama "Fighting Fish 2". His appearance fee is now as high as that of a first-tier star, but...

In the entire Chinese-speaking world, Zhou Yi is the only one whose appearance fee has risen to 3.8 million for two songs. There are even reports that tycoons in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau have spent more than 6 million to invite Zhou Yi to sing at their weddings.

Six million, just to attend a wedding and sing a song.

Even Zhou Yi didn't agree.

However, this news has never been officially confirmed by Warner, and only exists in the revelations of insiders on Internet forums such as Tianya.

Because it is too exaggerated, many netizens just think it is a rumor brainwash package made up by Zhou Yi's brainless fans.

"Is Brother Yi going to launch a new ringtone model in the mainland this year? Yan Zi, what do you think of this?" After the party, Zhang Shaohan quietly got into his friend's nanny car and asked.

"I think it's good, and he's also optimistic about it. What's the matter, does Fumao want to go?"

Zhang Shaohan nodded vigorously.

She released her new album "Aurora" on December 1 this year and it's been going strong. Eleven days have passed and the title song "Aurora" has become very popular in Taiwan and its reputation has exploded.

Fumao, which had already benefited from the popularity of "Super Star", naturally thought of ringtones when planning to help Zhang Shaohan expand his audience base in the mainland.

"But he probably doesn't have much free time recently, as he has to rush to shoot a music video and promote a new singer."

"New singer? Has Warner signed any new singers?"

"Well, it's a simple record contract, called Panglong, released on December 13th..."

………………………………

"Number 13?"

The imperial capital, the "Hush" studio of Beijing Film Studio.

After shooting two sets of shots, Gao Yuanyuan chatted with Zhou Yi as if what happened last night had never happened. She asked in surprise: "Isn't that the day after tomorrow? Why didn't I hear about it in the newspaper before?"

Logically speaking, with Warner's current level of attention, if they want to launch a new artist, they will definitely make arrangements in advance, and it would be best to increase the popularity of the artist before the album goes on sale.

"It was just a lucky find. I was surprised myself."

Zhou Yi shrugged. "They were originally looking for Huayi. I happened to go to Huayi to discuss the premiere of A World Without Thieves that day, and they met me. Then, you know."

"A World Without Thieves? Hasn't that already been released?"

Gao Yuanyuan, wrapped tightly in her down jacket, put down her thermos cup and exhaled a puff of white mist, full of confusion.

On December 9, "A World Without Thieves" was officially released in mainland China and Hong Kong, and today is the 11th.

“Won’t your little lover be very disappointed?” Gao Yuanyuan thought of Fan Xiaopang, who relied on Zhou Yi to win all the way in the film and television industry. She is an untalented actress who can be treated preferentially in the Hong Kong Yinghuang system. She is also a rare flower.

"No, she is busy with roadshows now. She was very excited when she called me." Zhou Yi glanced at the goddess of a certain Pu family whose words were becoming more and more bold.

Two days after the release of "A World Without Thieves", the box office clearly showed a clear trend of explosive growth, and even the word of mouth received rave reviews - this excited Fan Xiaopang, who has now given up his fantasies and focused on his career.

Fan Xiaopang, who seemed to be in ecstasy, had started to go crazy. When he was called privately, he would often aim for the Best Actress title. His confidence was so strong that he was ready to strike down the champagne factory.

"Nonsense, if I were her I would be excited too. This is a movie, and she is not just a pretty face."

Gao Yuanyuan chuckled: "If your fellow villager's girlfriend had you as her backer like Fan Bingbing, she wouldn't have to fall out with her boyfriend."

"My fellow villager?"

"Deng Chao, there is a director named Lou Ye in the circle. I don't know if you have heard of him. He once had a script called "Summer Palace" that won the Young Director Program Script Award at the Busan Film Festival in South Korea. The heroine was searched for a long time, and finally found Deng Chao's girlfriend..."

oh--

It’s Hao Lei, then it’s okay.

Zhou Yi immediately figured out what it was and started gossiping: "You know a lot about it? Can you tell me in detail?"

"Here? Are you sure?"

Gao Yuanyuan raised her eyes with a smile and looked at him.

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "Really? Then let's make it quick. It's just the last few shots anyway. Let's call it a day after we finish filming."

Anyway, Gao Yuanyuan only has today's scenes left for "Love Transfer", and the filming can be completed after that.

"Ok, Sister Yuanyuan, you need to act a little more hysterical in this scene. This part in the MV is the part where you two quarrel..."

After resuming work, the director talked about the relevant points and emphasized the lines she wanted to say to Zhou Yi -

"Zhou Yi, what are you going to use to pay me back what you owe me?"

It was supposed to be a heart-wrenching scene where Gao Yuanyuan caught Zhou Yi cheating again and had a quarrel, but Zhou Yi couldn't help laughing when Gao Yuanyuan was crying and screaming.

"Cut! Brother Yi, Brother Yi, don't laugh, don't laugh. If you don't need to have a painful expression, then you don't have to have any expression..."

"Sorry, my my."

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and finished speaking. When he saw Gao Yuanyuan crying in vain, he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Gao Yuanyuan: “???”

No, is this a funny line? You wrote this yourself.

Or is she just being funny?

She felt her professionalism might have been insulted.

"Zhou Yi, what are you going to use to pay me back what you owe me?"

“…Puhahahaha——Hiccup, oh my, oh my, do it again.”

The second time, Zhou Yi held on at the beginning but failed at the end. After laughing, he immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake and raised his thumb to indicate his problem.

"Zhou Yi, you owe..."

"Zhou Yi, you..."

"Zhou Yi..."

"week……"

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't cry anymore.

She thought she was a professional actor, but the actor opposite her was a complete jerk. He laughed so hard at such an ordinary line that it felt like he was watching a Zhao Benshan skit.

No matter how much water she has, she can't withstand long-term grinding.

The key point is that he made up this line himself. God knows what the scene was like when this sentence popped up in his mind. How could he make people laugh like this?

"Ahem, believe me, I'm a professional actor, I can definitely handle it this time."

Zhou Yi patted his face and righteously suggested: "If you can't cry, put some eye drops on it?"

Gao Yuanyuan squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "...No, give me some time to calm down."

The camera was filming, and if she really used eye drops and it got out, her reputation as an actress might be ruined.

Zhou Yi nodded, then turned to the assistant and said, "Then give me another bottle of eye drops."

“You’re not a professional actor?”

"I can't cry because I've never been wronged in a relationship."

"It's a good thing you chose the singing path. If you had chosen acting, you would have starved to death." Gao Yuanyuan complained helplessly.

Zhou Yi, who was dripping eye drops, was very dissatisfied: "How can you talk like that? Just my face can slay the entertainment industry, okay, I have a pretty face and a smooth figure."

In the era of traffic, he is always a man with a strong reputation.

The director wanted to turn off the camera after seeing this, after all, it was still filming, but was stopped by Zhou Yi's assistant Ms. Xin.

"Zhou Yi is a flawed person, not a perfect idol."

This was the big goal that Qian Jiang set for Zhou Yi after he ascended the throne of music, and Ms. Xin, his assistant, implemented it thoroughly.

After the album is released, this behind-the-scenes footage will be able to expose a major flaw in Zhou Yi to the general public, becoming a point that is talked about by the public and even attacked by black fans.

However, these attacks cannot knock down or even discredit Zhou Yi, because he has never been involved in film and television dramas. In the end, they will only become a topic of conversation after dinner, making Zhou Yi's personal image more concrete and down-to-earth in the minds of the people.

Passersby will think that Zhou Yi is quite real, just a musician with outstanding musical talent. Even though he is already a king in the music circle, he still has various embarrassing situations when shooting MVs privately, which makes people smile knowingly;

The haters will celebrate, and feel that they have found the shortcomings of Zhou Yi, so they won’t be so embarrassing to be a hater;

Fans will spontaneously defend him, believing that he is a real person, not an omnipotent god. Moreover, this also shows that Zhou Yi is just stubborn, but in fact he is very self-aware and does not want to act in any film or TV series.

As time goes by, the topic and controversy surrounding Zhou Yi will never disappear, and there is also a pure beauty of being realistic.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The stubbornness in words but integrity in actions in the behind-the-scenes footage have become a contrast, which is more likely to be remembered and form a deep-rooted impression.

It was not until 7pm that Gao Yuanyuan, who had finally finished all the MV scenes, breathed a sigh of relief.

She hadn't cried like this in the week since she broke up with Zhang Yadong because of his anger. Instead, she cried "heartily" today because of the filming.

"Where do you get so many inexplicable jokes?"

"Is it possible that there is something wrong with your acting?"

Zhou Yi did not take the blame, but instead began to pass it on: "You are obviously not in the same state as yesterday when you were too immersed in the role."

"That's still your fault."

"?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled: "Thanks to your talk therapy, I figured it out and came out of it naturally. After all, even a man like you knows to go home."

At the end, she added: "I hope your new album will sell well."

“…”

This is what he said, and this is the logic, but why does Zhou Yi feel that this doesn't sound like he is praising himself?

Forty minutes later—

Zhou Yi appeared at Gao Yuanyuan's house again, carrying a large pile of hot pot ingredients.

He came mainly for gossip.

Well, there is no other meaning, it’s mainly because Gao Yuanyuan used gossip in the circle to seduce him.

"Are you familiar with your fellow villager?"

"We're not that familiar with each other. We just met and spent time together when we were filming the music video. He would send me blessing text messages during festivals and so on. Cheng Hao might be more familiar with her. In the beginning, he would bring gifts to thank Cheng Hao for her recommendation."

"I've read the script of 'Summer Palace'. Lou Ye approached many actresses in the industry, but no one took the role no matter how hard he tried..."

Taking advantage of the heat from the hot pot, Gao Yuanyuan took off her sweater and was left with only a tight white shirt underneath, through which the outline of the steel underwire that bound her was vaguely visible.

In Gao Yuanyuan's mouth, this is a very simple story of "making progress in the entertainment industry."

The script of "Summer Palace" is very dangerous, and the depiction path is very unconventional, following the path of foreign awards. The role of the heroine has made many actresses who received the script embarrassed.

Because you need to take it off, you need to take it off thoroughly.

After searching around and finding no actress willing to take the risk, the young Hao Lei took the job.

Although she refused once due to opposition from her boyfriend Deng Chao, it was obvious that she could not resist the temptation of so-called art.

"Hmm? I found a lot of you?"

Zhou Yi listened with great interest: "Rejected them all?"

He really didn't know too many things about this banned film. He only knew that Hao Lei lost both his wife and his army. He secretly took the job without telling Deng Chao, and they broke up after the job was done. The film was also banned because it violated the rules by going overseas to participate in awards, and Lou Ye was banned from directing because of it.

Later, when she was on the show, Hao Lei mentioned this incident and commented that her ex-boyfriend was narrow-minded, but she still believed that she did it for art.

"That's about right. The main reason is that we are all well-known now, so we can't risk it."

Gao Yuanyuan did not shy away from revealing the standards she knew: "Only young actresses like Hao Lei who are neither here nor there and are eager to leap into the top ranks would risk their lives to take this job."

Art?

Bullshit art.

If art has only this form of expression, it would be better to just hit your head against tofu and die.

One is eager to take shortcuts to become a top star, the other just wants to satisfy his inner desire to express himself without caring about the domestic audience and the market, that's all.

It's just a gimmick to satisfy the public's curiosity about female stars taking off their clothes to stimulate publicity and box office, just like what Zhang Baizhi said in The Promise.

If you say that as a director, Lou Ye didn't know what the public would focus on in advance, no one would believe it.

"Fortunately, Deng Chao has calmed down a lot, otherwise he would have beaten Lou Ye up."

Zhou Yi, who was drinking, watched the fun without minding any trouble.

In a sense, he was right.

After all, before Deng Chao went to college, he was a well-known local troublemaker. He was labeled a long-haired gangster. Fighting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and playing basketball on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday were common occurrences for him.

"Not only that, maybe Lou Ye had already done something to Hao Lei on the set when Deng Chao called and asked where she was." Gao Yuanyuan, who was half drunk, spread rumors without any basis.

Zhou Yi: “…”

Is it possible that a gentle and artistic goddess like her would be so fierce when talking about such topics in private? "

Gao Yuanyuan put down her beer, stretched her legs out from under the coffee table, and accurately pressed on the muzzle of the gun, grinding: "Don't people like you all like this?"

It can be seen that it is very flexible.

Because she can even clip the zipper down.

“Ring, ring, ring!”

Zhou Yi glanced at Gao Yuanyuan's cell phone on the table, and the caller ID showed Zhang Yadong.

"Hello?"

Gao Yuanyuan pressed the answer button without hesitation and placed the call on the coffee table: "What do you want from me?"

The calves are still exerting force.

"You threw away all my stuff? All my useful things--"

"You can buy new ones."

"Have you been drinking?"

"Yes, do you want to listen? I can tell you."

Zhang Yadong: “…”

Zhou Yi: “…”

Damn, this... is quite a contrast!

The excitement of walking in the gray area between being a thief and not being a thief instantly made Zhou Yi full of energy.

Question Cao Mengde, understand Cao Mengde, and surpass Cao Mengde.

Having said that, Gao Yuanyuan retracted her legs, stood up and walked to Zhou Yi, sitting on him with her back to the phone, as if she was talking to herself or to Zhou Yi: "Anyway, there are a lot of people in your circle who are messing around. Some of them are religious and have been dragged to the Zen room for initiation. I think you're used to it..."

Zhang Yadong on the other end of the phone could already hear the sound.

He hung up the phone.

He felt that the woman was crazy or had lost her mind after drinking, and now it was completely impossible to communicate with her.

Zhou Yi sat on the carpet, leaning against the sofa. He looked up at Gao Yuanyuan who was staring at him condescendingly, raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that what I said before was right. You are indeed a pervert."

"Aren't you?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled charmingly: "You and him are birds of a feather, there is no difference."

"Then why are you looking for me? I gave you a chance yesterday."

Zhou Yi, whose abdominal muscles were stained with water, sneered.

"Don't you want to try?"

Gao Yuanyuan slid down: "I can wear a wedding dress..."

"It's pathetic to be your groom."

"Anyway, the outside world has always viewed me this way, so what difference does it make now?"

Gao Yuanyuan, whose neck was suddenly stretched straight, groaned and frowned - then slowly relaxed.

"You are a goddess of literature and art."

"Then step on me."
