China Entertainment 2000

Chapter 12: Tapping into the popularity of King Guo

"Come on, come on, I'll have tea instead of wine, and I'll ask Teacher Sun for your advice in the future."

Near the Warner Building, in a restaurant.

Zhou Yi pretended to hold up a glass of boiled water, imitating the plot of the popular martial arts drama, and offered a toast to Sun Yanzi who was sitting opposite him, but the wink he gave didn't look very sincere.

Zhang Shaohan, who was suppressing a smile, sat next to Sun Yanzi. He couldn't help but grin when he saw this, and then he realized it and subconsciously covered it with his hands. His big, overly conspicuous eyes were full of smiles.

"Apprenticeship is not that simple in martial arts dramas. What about the apprenticeship ceremony?" Sun Yanzi, who understood that he was trying to liven up the atmosphere, also showed his posture. While grinning, his every move was very much like the great uncle in martial arts novels.

"Which martial arts movie did you watch that included such crap as apprenticeship ceremony? It seems that martial arts dramas in Singapore have lagged behind."

After completing the process, Zhou Yi sat down, took a chopstick of food and put it into his mouth, saying vaguely: "It is now recommended to refuse gifts."

"Of course I watched Brother Xiaoqi's version."

Sun Yanzi, who looked very ladylike, took a sip of tea and retorted: "If you have any objections, go to Brother Xiaoqi."

Ren Xianqi, the king of the Chinese music scene at the end of the 20th century, was nicknamed Brother Xiaoqi.

With the legendary existence of being able to fight against the four kings of Hong Kong without being defeated, he killed men, women and children from both sides of the Taiwan Strait with his song "Too Soft", and he just relied on his true skills to play the handsome male protagonists in martial arts dramas.

The most typical one is the 1998 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

If his status in the music world were not high enough and popular enough, it would be difficult to imagine that he could play the role of Yang Guo who "mistakes his life at first sight".

Especially when Principal Gu Zhuyu is in front of her, the comparison in appearance is, to put it more offensively, very tragic.

"Forget it, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see Brother Xiaoqi." Zhou Yi, who had never seen this version of the Divine Condor, directly ignored the topic.

As a later generation, the sculpture that impressed him most was actually two versions - Gu Tianle's version and Huang Xiaoming's version.

Due to the age, he was actually more impressed by Huang Xiaoming's version of the divine sculpture.

"It's simple. Just write a song for Brother Xiaoqi and invite him to sing a duet with you."

"You think songwriting is just a piece of cake."

"I think writing songs for you is really like buying cabbage."

Sun Yanzi, who had witnessed the man's songwriting speed last night, had a smirk on his lips, and then turned around and handed the topic to Zhang Shaohan beside him to prevent her from being left out: "Miss Zhang, you may not know , the "Happy Worship" you recorded today is one of the five songs he wrote in four hours."

Hearing this, Zhang Shaohan's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the man sitting alone across from him in disbelief: "Four hours? Five songs?"

Zhou Yi raised his hand as if to press down, but his expression was extremely flamboyant, and he couldn't stop whispering between his brows: "Low-key, low-key."

The image of a gentle and talented person that he showed in the morning was instantly shattered.

"That's amazing, Mr. Zhou." With the blessing of talent and Zhou Yi's handsome appearance, this contrasting behavior has eliminated a lot of the strangeness in Zhang Shaohan's heart.

"Just call me by my name. I'm only nineteen years old, so I'm only one year older than you."

Zhou Yi was obviously embarrassed by the shouts of "Mr. Zhou", so he suggested: "Maybe you can just call me brother."

How can anyone become a teacher at the age of nineteen? This is not ancient times.

"Uh, okay, okay, Brother Yi."

As a little transparent person in Fu Mao Records, one of Zhang Shaohan's most important strengths is that he listens to advice. While listening to the advice, he was smart enough not to call out his last name, trying to close the distance between the two.

"You can call me Sister Yanzi or Sister Stefanie. I'm 22 this year, so I'm older than you." As the oldest of the three people in the room, Sun Yanzi followed suit to increase their familiarity with each other.

"There is no need to be so formal. We are all of the same age. Maybe we can go on stage together to receive awards in the future." Zhou Yi, who knew the future career paths of these two, said cheerfully.

Although I don’t know why Zhang Shaohan debuted in idol dramas at the beginning, it is obvious that this woman has released several great songs in a row after she started releasing albums, and even a gold-plated song like "Invisible Wings" .

If it weren't for the subsequent backstabbing by her unreliable family and plastic girlfriends, this woman would really have the potential to become a diva-level figure in the Chinese music scene.

After all, her voice is so unique.

It's a pity that by the time she returned from handling the trivial matters, she had already missed the last train to become a queen.

After some exchanges over the meal, the three of them, who had gotten to know each other in a real sense, had somewhat narrowed the distance between them.

Zhou Yi's playful smile, Sun Yanzi's intellectual generosity, and both of them would take care of her feelings. They probably judged the poor economic environment from her clothes, so they didn't mention this aspect at all, and instead talked about something. Interesting anecdotes from her school days so that she could chime in.

As far as Zhang Shaohan is concerned, she hasn't experienced this kind of laughter for a long time.

She has been burdened with the pressure of life since she entered junior high school. She has been working part-time jobs in various shopping malls and stores in addition to studying.

After I came to Baodao alone last year, the environment became even more lonely. It was difficult to even have friends. Every day I was either practicing singing or working in a clothing store to make money. Except for my teacher Lin Longxuan, few people in the company around me could be trusted.

In entertainment companies, especially those in singer training classes, everyone wants to be famous and they are all competitors.

But it's different here.

Sun Yanzi is already a singer to be released by Warner in June. Zhou Yi even wrote all the songs for the entire album by himself, and will not seize other people's song collection resources. He is also a man and has nothing to do with her. The stakes are high and it’s easy to get along with.

"Speaking of which, Brother Yi, you still have one year of studies, how will you balance it?" Zhang Shaohan blinked his big, delicate eyes like a Barbie doll, and was a little curious.

"Warner has a cooperative company in the mainland called Warner Wheatfield. I will definitely be based in the mainland from now on. At most, I will come to Baodao during the promotion period. This will also make it easier for me to go back to school and take exams.

"As for going to class, as long as I can pass the exam, it doesn't matter whether I go to class or not."

Zhou Yi shrugged and said that Treasure Island was just a passer-by to him, and Warner's first brother Guo Tianwang was also on Hong Kong Island now.

The future market will definitely be dominated by the mainland. No matter how much piracy there is, as long as the reputation is established, it will still be better than Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Zhang Shaohan was thoughtful after hearing this.

Sun Yanzi joked: "Then it seems that if I want to chat with you, junior brother, I'll have to make a phone call."

She is currently the only person she can talk to in the company, there is no pressure from competition, and they are purely friends. Zhou Yi is really the only one.

"How can that be possible? Senior sister, you are my teacher. The teacher has a life, so I can't carry the plane and come here from the mainland."

The exaggerated content was paired with a ridiculing tone. Sun Yanzi and Zhang Shaohan, who had never heard this description before, felt a bit strange in their hearts.

Just as he was about to say something, Zhou Yi's cell phone ringtone suddenly rang——

"Hello? Mr. Zhou?"

The moment he saw the note, Zhou Yi immediately made a hissing gesture and pressed the answer button.

"Zhou Yi, let me ask you something. Do you have any objection to gaining popularity?" came the calm voice of Warner General Manager Zhou Jianhui on the phone.

"Taking advantage of popularity?"

"Yes, for example, let's take advantage of the popularity of Guo Tianwang in the company."
