China Entertainment 2000

Executives of major record companies, including Sony, have gradually come to their senses - this is clearly a hype.

They believed that the amount of Zhou Yi's contract extension was definitely the highest in history, but they definitely didn't believe it could be this high. It should be converted into the amount of resources invested, and it was included in the album to make a big news when it was about to be released, so as to let as many people as possible know that Zhou Yi was about to release a new album.

If you ask if there are people in the media industry who can see through this, there are definitely some. Some people who can sit in high positions are incompetent, some are stupid, and some are a combination of both, but they are definitely not all like this.

But Warner's move is clearly an open conspiracy, so I just ask you whether you want to follow up on the report.

If you don't follow up on the report, all the popularity and sales will be taken up by others, and you won't get a single bite of soup;

In order to avoid being caught up in the heat of the moment, apart from a few officially registered official media, more than 70% of the entertainment media nationwide and even the entertainment sections of people's livelihood and political newspapers have begun to hype this topic, adding fuel to the popularity of Zhouyi.

As for the truth?

Who cares?

“Ordinary people never care about the so-called truth. They just need a piece of news that can stimulate their emotions so that they can vent.

"As long as this hot topic can attract their attention, they can freely express their opinions and make comments based on the views of the so-called opinion leaders under this news, and satisfy their desire for guidance..."

Warner, inside the president's office.

Zhou Yi, dressed in a suit and tie, drank the Kung Fu tea brewed by Zhou Jianhui, and listened to Qian Jiang's smiling report on how much publicity expenses Warner had saved due to the continuous output of Zhou Yi news in the past few days.

Not every star can get the media to spontaneously promote and hype them on such a large scale. Qian Jiang, who has experienced the glorious era of Hong Kong music, is very good at this kind of marketing. He has it all under control, because theoretically speaking, Zhou Yi's achievements can be said to be real and not exaggerated.

"It's good that Ayi has a solid foundation and can hold on. Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of money secretly to maintain marketing just like Zhang Xueyou did back then." Zhou Jianhui pushed his glasses, and his old face smiled particularly brightly.

At the peak of his career, Zhang Xueyou hyped up "Kiss Goodbye" to create a sales miracle, but the actual sales and amount were not that high, so the company had been quietly giving out red envelopes to buy online trolls. Zhang Xueyou himself tried to distance himself from the issue during interviews, not exaggerating the sales of "Kiss Goodbye" and leaving everything to the reporters.

Therefore, the series of operations is relatively expensive.

Qian Jiang laughed like a Maitreya Buddha: "That's right. If Ayi didn't have a solid foundation, I wouldn't be doing this. Otherwise, I would become a joke like Wang Jie."

If we were to choose the number one bragging king, marketing king, and shameless king among Hong Kong singers, Wang Jie would definitely deserve the title.

His operations these days are more like Wang Jie's marketing hype style, but Zhou Yi's actual performance is far better than Wang Jie's.

As for why Qian Jiang used Wang Jie as an example...

Because Wang Jie's bragging career started to advance by leaps and bounds after he joined Warner Records - in 1991, Warner Records built a platinum wall for Wang Jie in Hong Kong with the words "Wang Jie Leaps into a New Era of 200 Platinum" as a celebration of his long-term record sales.

According to the sales volume of 1 platinum = 50,000 copies in Hong Kong, the total sales volume of Wang Jie's album in 1991 has been inflated by Warner to 10 million copies worldwide.

Qian Jiang knows the ins and outs of this very well. Without even a proper world sales certification, it all depends on how bold you are and how productive you are. It all depends on your mouth.

That was the situation of the Hong Kong music scene at that time.

As for why it is a joke, we can only say that Wang Jie is a little too unsatisfied - he became even more unsatisfied, and on the basis of Warner's praise for him, he doubled up on it.

Zhou Yi put down his teacup, stood up and stretched himself comfortably, saying lazily, "I'm not as boastful as him, okay? I can't change."

How shameless is Wang Jie's super double marketing bragging? For example:

Later, he dared to directly say that the actual total sales of all his albums added up was 85 million;

It will be said that "A Game, A Dream" sold more than 23 million copies;

He would say that in the entire Chinese music industry, only Deng Lijun has higher sales than him...

He said all of this himself when he was publicly interviewed, and when he appeared on Hong Kong and mainland programs. He said it more than once, and he said it very firmly each time.

The main theme is that he is a boaster with no limit, and he is riding on the cloud to climb up based on the watered-down version of what Warner had given him in the first place.

Who can bear this?

It's become a joke.

Logically speaking, if he had the ability to sell this number of pure Chinese albums, not only would Warner and Yinghuang abandon him one after another, the entire Chinese music industry would have to kneel down to him.

The capital's welfare screening of "A World Without Thieves" - no, it should be called a celebration party, he has to attend it.

After this series of big news broke, the big and small Wangs almost knelt down on the phone and begged him to quickly send benefits to his fans. Not to mention Fan Xiaopang, even Li Bingbing called him from time to time to chat a few words to avoid losing contact.

After leaving the Warner Building and getting in the car, he sent a text message to Fat Fan before closing his eyes and resting.

The so-called welfare movie viewing refers to the fact that he will appear as a surprise guest in today's "A World Without Thieves" roadshow theater, and when all the audiences are caught off guard, he will personally sing the theme song "Don't Forget Peace of Mind" at the end of the film, giving the audience a surprise.

This song has entered the ringtone market since the film was released. Thanks to its good popularity and Zhou Yi's fame, it has become extremely popular.

Then, we went to the hotel to attend the movie celebration party.

Although the box office has not yet reached 100 million, the big and small Wangs and the film's main creators can't wait any longer, so let's open the champagne first.

For example, Fan Xiaopang, who has expanded to the point of aiming for the Best Actress award, although the roadshow is very tiring, she really looks radiant and doesn't show any signs of fatigue at all.

This is her first movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan as the female lead!

Tired? Not really.

As long as you can run to death, then run to death. Desperate Sanniang is not afraid of difficulties and moves forward courageously!

"Ice Soldier."

At the hotel venue, since it was not time to go to the cinema yet, the crew members and the attendees who had arrived early were already chatting about the past in groups of three or four, as if it was just the end of the year holiday.

Fan Bingbing, who was dancing among the entertainment industry people who came to congratulate her as the main creator of the crew, soon met Mr. Xiao Wang who came to ask her questions. Next to Mr. Xiao Wang stood a big star who was supposed to be too busy to show up here.

Zhang Jizhong has a big beard.

"Come on, Director Zhang, let me introduce you. Fan Bingbing, the female lead of A World Without Thieves. Bingbing, this is Director Zhang Jizhong."

"I've heard a lot about you, hello Director Zhang."

Although he didn't know why Zhang Jizhong appeared here, it didn't stop Fan Xiaopang from greeting him.

"By the way, Bingbing, is Zhou Yi almost here?"

"He's on his way, Mr. Wang. He just texted me twenty minutes ago. He'll definitely make it in time to be the surprise guest."

“Is that so?”

Mr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and Mr. Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard what Fan Bingbing said.

In fact, the main reason why he came to attend Huayi's celebration banquet was to see Zhou Yi.

As we all know, when "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was being filmed, Big Beard wanted to take advantage of the hype and wanted Zhou Yi to play Duan Yu, but Zhou Yi could not afford the price, and the two sides had no substantial contact at all.

This time, although his "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has already started filming, the opening and ending songs have not yet been decided.

He took the opportunity of Huayi's celebration banquet to come here just to invite singers.

There was no way. Zhou Yi’s current status was no longer someone he could just make a phone call and have a chat with. He couldn’t put on airs.

"Hmm? Zhang Jizhong seems to be waiting for me?"

Zhou Yi, who was about to reach his destination, received a text message quietly sent by Fan Bingbing and raised his eyebrows in slight surprise.

Shouldn't he be in Jiuzhaigou or somewhere else filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes" right now?

"Brother Yi, we're here."

As he was thinking, the driver's reminder brought Zhou Yi back to his senses, and he got out of the car and walked into the hotel.

Although it was only afternoon, all the invited media had already arrived. Zhou Yi's arrival immediately caused a commotion among the reporters who were photographing the stars in the stadium.

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi is here!"

"He actually showed up. I thought he was preparing for his new album and wouldn't be able to come."

“…”

Although everyone wanted to rush up and grab Zhou Yi into the small dark room and give him a good beating, doing so would undoubtedly lead to Hua Yi expelling him from the venue. Turning countless cameras towards Zhou Yi was the only thing they could do at the moment.

"Zhou Yi!"

Seeing the man coming, Fan Bingbing immediately raised his hand and greeted him. His bright and smiling face made many actresses wonder in their hearts -

A lucky fox!

However, she obviously knew who was the protagonist of this occasion, and did not take advantage of her relationship with Zhou Yi to seek attention. Instead, she waited until the two Wangs and Feng Xiaogang came to greet them first, and then she followed to welcome them.

"Welcome, Zhou Yi."

"Welcome, welcome..."

All the celebrities whose management contracts were signed by Huayi also came to meet Zhou Yi. Chen Daoming, Li Bingbing, and Ren Quan, who Zhou Yi had known for a long time, were not mentioned. Other mainland artists like Xia Yu, Hu Jun, and Zhou Yun were also there.

Other female artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as Yang Ziqiong, Rosamund Kwan, Liu Jialing, Sandra Ng, and Annie Yuen, whose mainland agency contracts have been given to Huayi, also came up to say hello.

Don’t worry about whether Huayi’s prosperity during this period was false, at least on the surface it seemed to be doing well.

It’s a pity that if Zhou Yi remembers correctly, most of these people will leave next year and be taken away by Wang Jinghua to change jobs.

Fatty Fan didn't notice it for a moment, but when he came to his senses, his eyes narrowed immediately -

Your mother Guan Zhilin, what do you want to do, you old bitch?

You’re already 42 and still want to seduce men?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Thanks to her money to maintain her appearance, this former representative of Hong Kong beauty does not look as old as she actually is.

Fan Bingbing didn’t know how Zhou Yi felt about this woman, but she knew her reputation—Rosamund Kwan had now reached the point where she didn’t care at all.

"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you, Zhou Yi. I've seen a lot of news about you in the newspapers."

"Then I guess it won't be a good reputation."

Zhou Yi shook hands with him without commenting, and said with a smile on his face: "So I need to clarify one thing, some of them are nonsense."

Rosamund Kwan smiles very elegantly.

To be fair, she is worthy of being a must-have in Hong Kong entertainment literature.

Sadly, I’m really old now.

Although she is older, she has maintained herself much better than Chen Hong before. Chen Hong is several years younger than her.

"Zhou Yi."

Rolling his eyes, Fan Bingbing walked up to him and greeted him again in a direct and intimate manner.

Guan Zhilin saw this and felt a little amused.

After all, they are still young and impatient.

With this little bit of experience, Guan Zhilin, who fought in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, is no different from a little white rabbit. It is because she is really old now, otherwise she would have let Fan Bingbing, who has a reputation for beauty and ferocity in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, know how to effectively seduce men.

Also by her side was Zhou Yun, the mistress who was having an extramarital affair with Jiang Wen.

Knowing that Zhou Yi and Jiang Wen had a good relationship, she followed behind Fan Bingbing and politely walked up to greet Zhou Yi, and exchanged contact information - this also achieved her goal of getting along well with Fan Xiaopang at Huayi -

"I often hear Lao Jiang mention you at home..."

It's a roundabout way to get to know your man's friends and build good relationships with them.

She is not like Fan Bingbing who lost his will to move up because of the huge gap between them. She is holding back her energy to completely win over Jiang Wen who is still hesitant.

"She has been with that Jiang Wen for a while. Haven't you seen her before?"

After the crowd that came to get to know each other dispersed, Fat Fan finally had time to walk to the side with his man and whisper in his ear, asking curiously.

"No, I never ask about other people's family affairs."

Zhou Yi shook his head. On the surface, Jiang Wen had not divorced his French wife yet. "But you said Zhang Jizhong seemed to want to find me? What's going on?"

You can't just kick Huang Xiaoming out and replace him with the role of Yang Guo. We couldn't afford his salary when we were filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", let alone now.

"I listened to it vaguely from the side. I think they are planning to ask you to write a song for the TV series?"

Fan Xiaopang told what he had seen and heard one by one, but he also wondered: "Can they afford to pay you?"

The total investment for this film is 36 million. Even if Zhou Yi offered a price based on domestic market conditions, it would still be beyond the crew's ability to afford.

"It's hard to say. It depends on whether they are willing to give in."

Zhou Yi didn't care after hearing this: "It just so happens that my company has new people to train. If he is willing to give me a cake, then it's not impossible for me to give him a friendly price."

In fact, after Zhang Liangying changed the course of history and signed with Warner, he was no longer very interested in "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the drama that made Zhang Liangying famous in the music industry.

The opening theme song of this drama, "The World Is Unparalleled", was originally snatched for Zhang Jingying by Huayi Music after she signed with the company. At first, even the demo of the song was sung by someone else, but Huayi finally snatched it and gave it to her, which made her the first popular hit in the music industry.

The singer who sang the demo has always been upset about this and has even been sarcastic about it.

Now that Zhang Jingying has arrived at Warner over a year in advance, she has no connection with Huayi Music anymore, and theoretically she will not be able to star in The Return of the Condor Heroes, the TV series that gave her her first masterpiece. But now that Zhang Jizhong has approached her, is there anything wrong with him, as the boss of Warner, bringing people into the group?

Supporting new artists is what every record company's top brother should do.

Well, except Aaron Kwok.

This bastard never seriously promoted the younger generation at Warner, even without Zhou Yi.

When the time comes, he will throw "The Unparalleled" back to Zhang Liangying, and he can just... pull out the ending song "Jiang Hu Xiao" from the 2006 version of The Return of the Condor Heroes in advance.

This is Zhou Huajian's absolute masterpiece in his later years, full of martial arts style.

"Newcomer? The one with Two Butterflies?"

"My name is Pang Long."

Zhou Yi glanced at her and said, "He's not from Warner, he just signed a record contract."

"You're so nice to the people in your company, why don't you just sign me as well."

"You don't deserve it. You're wasting the cafeteria's food."

“…”

Fat Fan bit the edge of the man's palm and gritted his teeth angrily.

In the distance, Zhang Jizhong, who had seen all this, seemed to be thinking about something - after a while, he walked over.

He is not greedy.

Before coming, he had discussed with the investors that as long as they could invite Zhou Yi to write songs and sing, they would definitely have to exchange resources.

For a TV series, the most important things are the opening and ending songs, and he plans to ask Zhou Yi to do it.

He also plans to play the emotional card.

After James Wong left, Zhou Yi did not participate in the messy activities in Hong Kong that called for martial arts songs to commemorate James Wong, but he believed that there was definitely a place for this master in Zhou Yi's heart.

He planned to let Zhou Yi play freely——

As long as it is a martial arts song, it will be fine. He does not require any specific theme. You, Zhou Yi, can even write a martial arts song specifically to pay tribute to Huang Zhan.

He can use them all.

It just so happens that Zhou Yi has written many types of songs since his debut, but he has never written a martial arts song.

For such a talented person, this is both a tribute to James Wong and a novel challenge.

As for the money, two songs, one million per song? Or one and a half million?

Three million is really the limit.

But he can exchange other film and television resources with Zhou Yi.

As a well-known producer, director, and screenwriter in the industry, he has an endless supply of things he can do, things he can intervene in, and things he can recommend.

Zhou Yi couldn't use it, but he thought Fan Bingbing was 100% useful. Or any other woman who had had other scandals with Zhou Yi, as long as there was a need, it would be easy to negotiate.

"Zhou Yi, is it convenient for us to talk?"

Zhang Jizhong came up to the two of them and extended an invitation.
