China Entertainment 2000

Lu Yi? Chen Kun?

"They are both here too?"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard these two names: "How long has it been, and their scenes haven't been finished yet? Didn't you all go to Japan and come back after filming?"

"Japan is a Japanese plot. Because we have to coordinate people from Japan, it took a little more time and stayed a little longer.

"Chen Kun and Lu Yi's scenes were filmed after returning to China, but it is true that they were added to the scene."

Chen Hao felt a little funny when talking about this incident: "Lu Yi is a little dissatisfied now. It is said that because he is constantly being given additional roles, his role is no longer the same as what was originally scheduled."

Zhou Yi was a little puzzled: "Isn't it good to add more scenes?"

"What's the matter? You don't know how popular Lu Yi is in Mainland China. He was originally just a guest star. It is said that the director and screenwriter saw that he was becoming more and more popular and simply gave him a role.

"Lu Yi will have to participate in the promotion of "Youngster Bao Qingtian 2" in the future. As a result, he is a little annoyed now that the scenes are constantly being added."

Chen Hao, who was sitting on the bed in the hotel room, was wearing a bright nightgown, swaying her legs and sharing gossip about the crew with a smile: "And Chen Kun, he was originally just a guest star. But at the beginning of this year, there was a drama called "Like Fog Like Rain" "Like the Wind Again", have you seen it? This drama is very popular, and Chen Kun is also very popular as the starring role.

"Then the crew of "Pink Lady" also added scenes for him, and now both of them can't get away from the crew and are still filming the extra scenes."

"..."

How did these two co-writers go from guest roles to male leads in the unit?

"I have heard of "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", but I have never seen it."

As soon as he heard that there was a melon to eat, Zhou Yi suddenly became interested: "Aren't they going to resist?"

"At most, they can complain privately. After all, having more scenes is good for them. They are all professional actors, and it is common for them to add scenes and change scenes. They just don't want to delay their subsequent schedule."

Chen Hao, who also experienced the extra scenes, didn't feel too much about it. After all, she had no schedule at all after that. She didn't even have an agent. After filming, she just went back to prepare for the talent test.

If she hadn't taken leave to go back to school to attend the graduation drama and graduation ceremony, her current scenes would have been almost finished filming.

"How's the atmosphere on the crew? Is there anything exciting? I'm busy with book signings every day, so I don't have time for gossip."

Zhou Yi, who has been as busy as a spinning top recently, hardly knows any other news from the outside world except his own affairs. When he gets up every day, he washes up, goes out and rushes to the autograph session - sings - signs autographs and sore hands - and goes home.

People are almost becoming programmed robots, and they urgently need something to distract their attention and activate their brains.

The reason why he wanted to release a graduation EP was because he didn't want to be lazy and rest.

"No, the biggest one is Rene Liu. She's not bad. At least she's not bad to me."

Chen Hao, who was always ready to answer Zhou Yi's questions, thought about it carefully and found that he had not encountered anything bad since he joined the group: "Before joining the group, I thought I would encounter some embarrassments. After all, this is the mainland and Baobao." Island co-production drama.”

"That would be boring."

Zhou Yi instantly lost interest when he heard that there was no melon to eat.

"Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered something. I heard that an actor had a falling out with the crew because his role in the show was reduced, and he left."

Chen Hao, who was chatting with Zhou Yi while flipping through the script, suddenly thought of it when he saw the name of a character who played opposite him: "Because the proportion of scenes between Chen Kun and Lu Yi has increased, their playing time has increased. Correspondingly, a character named Li Bai was deleted a lot.

"The role of Li Bai originally didn't have many roles, but now it has been deleted and only the role of my opponent is left. It looks like he came down from the air to find a home for the heartthrob I played, which is very abrupt.

"So the crew is now looking for actors again. They are currently contacting a young actor named Liu Hengyu. I don't know if he is willing to accept a guest role with such a small role."

Zhou Yili was delighted when he heard the name of the character: "Li Bai is not bad, but with such a famous name and so few roles, your crew is a bit inappropriate."

"This Li Bai was originally a cameo character. It didn't matter to the directors that he had less scenes. Although I think that the most popular outcome of this drama's heartthrob character is to still be alone after the ending. Chic in the city.”

Chen Hao curled his lips.

Due to her soft-spoken nature, she is still a little transparent and how dare she give advice to the director. She just follows the script and is done.

The two of them were talking on the phone when suddenly there was a knock on the door of Chen Hao's room——

"Hello Chen, do you want to go for supper together?"

Zhang Yan, who plays the role of a man-in-law in the crew, poked her head in from the door and saw Chen Haozheng smiling and talking softly. A hint of playfulness suddenly appeared on his face: "I'm sorry for disturbing you."

With that said, he closed the bedroom door and ran out quickly.

Not long after, the faint singing voices of Zhang Yan and Xue Jianing could be heard in the living room outside the bedroom - "Love me or him~"

Chen Hao: "..."

"Hey Hey hey?"

"I suddenly have something to do here. I'll come find you when you come to Shanghai."

After saying that, Chen Hao hung up the phone, threw the phone on the bed, rushed out of the bedroom and rushed towards Xue Jianing and Zhang Yan. The loose nightgown could not stop the beautiful scenery leaking out.

Zhou Yi, who was still in the imperial capital, looked at the hung up phone and was confused.

Why could he vaguely hear a female voice singing "Love Me or Him" ​​a cappella?

Unexpectedly and simply too lazy to think about it, Zhou Yi packed up his things and returned home from the company.

After resting for a few days to adjust, we officially set off for Shanghai.

But on the way out, Qian Jiang told him another piece of bad news: another male singer had emerged from the Rolling Stones who could compete with him in the market.

"A strong rival has emerged in the market recently. Have you heard of a singer named Guangliang from Rolling Stone? He used to form a group with Pinguan called Muji.

"He released a new album after his solo career in May this year, and now it has gained momentum. The title song "First Time" in the album is soaring in the rankings as his number of releases increases.

"As of today, it has threatened the ranking of your album "Love Me or Him" ​​on the monthly radio chart. It may be kicked out of the top ten by "The First Time"."

Qian Jiang, holding the marketing department data file, introduced the origin of Guangliang to Zhou Yi.

"If you squeeze, just squeeze. Anyway, my main hits right now are "Gangnam", "Big City, Little Love" and "Back to Back Hug"."

After learning the news, Zhou Yi looked at the name and was stunned for a moment.

I almost forgot about this big guy.

On June 30, "First Time" officially kicked out "Love Me or Him" ​​on the Baodao Radio Rankings, ranking tenth.

At the same time, in the Mainland, the ranking of the song "First Time" is also rising. It has surpassed Han Hong's "That Sea" and "Daybreak" in the list that does not limit the singer's origin, and quickly entered the list. top ten.

Chen Xiaochun's dog-licking hit "The One I Love" has also gained momentum after being introduced to the mainland. Together with Guangliang's "The First Time" and Han Hong's "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", it has broken the trend of Zhou Yi's dominance in the mainland.

This result actually made Zhou Yihen's teeth itch.

Guangliang, right? I admit that your "First Time" is very good, so your "Fairy Tale" is mine!

And Jordan Chan! Your "You Are Cruel" is gone too!

Seeing that he had made less money than lost money, Zhou Yi felt more uncomfortable. He made a note of these two people in his little notebook in his heart.

Fortunately, he still has "Jiangnan" to back him up——

"In addition, a song suddenly appeared in the Mainland recently, posing a threat to your "Jiangnan" in terms of popularity."

At the end, Qian Jiang's tone was somewhat strange: "It's just that this song may be comparable to your "Jiangnan" in popularity, and it won't have the slightest impact on the genuine sales of your album."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Zhou Yi was also a little confused by Qian Jiang's statement.

"According to the company's investigation, this increasingly popular song has never been introduced to the mainland. Currently, all tapes and CDs about it in the mainland are pirated.

"It is precisely because of this that the song was not included in the official radio charts and pop song charts."

With that said, Qian Jiang took out the pirated tape he bought from the video store and stuffed it into the car recorder——

"I still remember saying goodbye from your mouth as firmly as iron, and in the darkness there was an illusion of the scorching sun~"

Zhou Yi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, listened to Zhou Chuanxiong's story-filled music, raised his eyes and looked at the sunset that dyed half of the sky red, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Dusk" ah, that's okay.

If it weren't for his "Jiangnan", then in 2001 the only real god in the mainland music piracy industry would be this song.

"The current piracy market in the Mainland is basically divided between your "Jiangnan" and Zhou Chuanxiong's "Dusk". However, Zhou Chuanxiong's album performed very poorly in Baodao. It is similar to the situation of Zhang Xinzhe, who was defeated by you last year. I don't know what the situation is. .”

The album "Faith" was also released in 2000. Although the sales of Xinzhe Zhang's "Faith" album were at a loss, at least there was a golden song "Faith" that allowed him to save some face;

The album "Transfer" released by Zhou Chuanxiong at the end of 2000 not only failed to sell well, but the song "Dusk" also failed to cause any waves in Baodao. Who would have thought that pirated copies were flying all over the mainland.

It is precisely because of this that when talking about this matter, Qian Jiang's face was somewhat gloating.

If the genuine album with "Dusk" is introduced to the mainland, a large piece of the mainland market will definitely be eaten up.

The speed at which this song became popular in China is a bit scary.

If Nicholas Tse and Zhou Yi are currently vying for the top spot in sales of genuine albums, then in the pirated market, it is Zhou Yi and Zhou Chuanxiong who are vying for supremacy recently.

"Those pirates are eager to claim you and Zhou Chuanxiong as their ancestors.

"If it weren't for piracy that couldn't be publicized, they would have followed the example of Zhou Xie's battle and created a bi-weekly piracy battle between you and Zhou Chuanxiong."
