China Entertainment 2000

The sunset of the record era is terrifying.

Zhou Yi, who was amused by this so-called "two-week battle", could only lament the cruelty of competition in this era. Even if he cheated, it would be difficult to say that he could see all the small mountains and small mountains at a glance.

Even "Dusk", which was a hit with "Gangnam" in the piracy world this year, will still be beaten by newer songs next year.

It is a pity that Zhou Chuanxiong, who has not yet been tortured by stomach problems, failed to find his peak due to a decline in creative energy, and ended up being the first to lag behind in the battlefield of the Millennial music scene.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing. Because of your continued popularity, the company has received many requests for singing songs, including many top names.

"This is the list. You can take a look. If you are inspired by the time, you can cooperate with them."

While driving the car, Qian Jiang almost forgot about the invitation to sing. Then he took out a piece of paper from the storage compartment and handed it to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi reached out to take it with great interest, opened it and saw, good guys, there were a lot of names that were very familiar to him.

Not to mention the four kings including Aaron Kwok, the company's number one brother, the remaining names of Eason Chan, Karen Mok, Joey Yung, Kelly Chen and even Polygram Prince Cheng Zhongji are all on the table.

"That's not right. Didn't Karen Mok have Lee Chung-sheng to protect him in the Rolling Stones? The Rolling Stones have Law Day-you and Lee Chung-shing, why are they looking for me?

"And Ronald Cheng, his father, the president of PolyGram Records Greater China, is also short of songs?"

Not to mention other things, Zhou Yi couldn't understand that these two people could come over and invite them to sing.

"You may not know that Karen Mok has decided to leave Rolling Stone and join Sony. As her new employer, Sony Music will naturally invite you to sing for her in order to express its importance to her.

"As for Ronald Cheng... PolyGram really can't receive good songs at the moment, so even if they do, they will be given priority to Jacky Cheung.

"Although Ronald Cheng is nicknamed the PolyGram Prince, it is impossible for him to compete with Jacky Cheung for songs in terms of status."

Qian Jiang has deep feelings about PolyGram Records, which is also in decline.

In the late 1990s, Warner was like this. It was not until the arrival of Zhou Jianhui that they discovered two aces, Stefanie Sun and Zhou Yi, a male and a female, before they returned to the track.

"Mok's songs are easy to talk about, and if the price is right, it won't be a problem for me to be her album's producer directly. Sony is not short of money anyway, so it's a double extra buck."

"There's nothing I can do about Cheng Chung-kee. I can't write a Cantonese song at all right now. My Cantonese is only limited to saying a couple of sentences."

In terms of learning Cantonese, although he learned some daily words from Ah Sa and Gillian when filming the MV for "Back to Back Hug" and "Mermaid", Zhou Yi is undoubtedly most familiar with curse words.

"Mandarin songs are also fine. You can decide what to do when the time comes. If you want to write one, tell me and I will help you negotiate with the corresponding company."

After sending Zhou Yi back to the hotel, Qian Jiang smiled and patted the man on the shoulder: "Have a good rest these days, and then I have to go to the next place for a book signing."

Even Zhou Yi's body couldn't bear the intensity of eight autograph sessions in three days in Shanghai. After the makeup was removed, a hint of haggardness was visible to the naked eye, and the dark circles around the eye sockets were vaguely visible.

Qian Jiang felt distressed when he saw it, but seeing that Zhou Yi kept complaining but still insisted on working honestly, he didn't try to persuade him.

After working together for a long time, he finally figured out this man's nature. If he really can't bear it, he will choose to give up.

"You don't know, when I sang at the book signing today, I almost sang like a car accident scene, and my pitch almost started to drift."

In the hotel room, after taking a shower, Zhou Yi put a dry towel on his head. He made the usual phone call and complained to Stefanie Sun, a fellow Warner patient, about the company's exploitative publicity methods.

His current singing method is based on the excellent functional conditions after his rebirth. Although he sings and listens happily, the result is that he is extremely exhausted when singing live.

Stefanie Sun, who was suffering from the same problem, felt the same way, but she still teased him unceremoniously: "You deserve it! I asked you to be lazy when learning how to sing. You can do whatever you want with your talent, right?"

"I'm lazy as hell. It takes time to improve my singing skills. I am a god. I will make progress as long as I am told. This is all measured in years."

Compared with when he debuted last year, Zhou Yi feels that he has really improved a lot now. What's more, he doesn't think that Stefanie Sun, who is also enjoying the state of the scene, has the qualifications to criticize him.

So I learned a clip of Stefanie Sun singing "Green Light" out of tune on the phone, and the latter was so angry that she screamed on the other end of the phone——

"Zhou Yi! Just wait for me!"

The furious Stefanie immediately hung up the phone. If it weren't for the announcement in Baodao, she would have bought a plane ticket and come to the mainland to block the door.

"mock up."

Zhou Yi, who didn't take Stefanie Sun's threat to heart at all, sneered and was just about to get up and call the hotel to ask them to deliver dinner when he received a call from Chen Hao——

"Hello? Hello Chen?"

"How's it going, big star, today's autograph session is over. Have you had dinner? If not, let's have some together?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Hao's gentle voice sounded.

"Dinner? Don't you have any night scenes today?" Zhou Yi subconsciously looked at the time. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"Tonight is not my role. How about a compliment? It just so happens that I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Okay, give me your address and I'll be here right away."

Zhou Yi has long been familiar with following Chen Hao for late-night snacks. He has a driver's license in the mainland and does not need a driver. He drove the Mercedes-Benz assigned by the company these days to the restaurant address Chen Hao sent——

A private chef named Baiwei should be very private.

At least the waiter working here was only slightly excited after seeing Zhou Yi, and then politely led him to the box——

"It seems like you're doing well in this crew."

Chen Hao, who was simply wearing a white printed T-shirt and blue jeans, caught Zhou Yi's eyes after pushing open the box door. His long hair, which was specially permed and curled for filming, was casually tied into a bun. He looked quite charming. .

"That's a far cry from a big star like you."

Noticing the haggardness and fatigue that was visible to the naked eye on Zhou Yi's face, Chen Hao's eyelids twitched slightly and he joked with a smile: "Look at you, your eyes are almost like pandas. Is your company so oppressive?" "

"Forget it, eight autograph sessions in three days, eight in total. I don't know how Warner dared to arrange it like this. They just used me to death just because I was young. They didn't know anything about sustainable development... …”

Zhou Yi, who pulled up his chair and sat across from Chen Haozheng, made a figure eight gesture. All the negative emotions buried in his heart burst out the moment he saw Chen Haozheng, and he gestured naggingly that Warner was not a good person.

Chen Hao, with gentle eyebrows, listened attentively, helping Zhou Yi pour tea from time to time. Occasionally, he would cheer up and ask questions about whether it was true or not, which in turn provoked Zhou Yi to criticize Warner.

"Looking on the bright side, at least you can earn 10 to 20 million this year by cooperating with Warner."

Chen Hao, who was smiling, held the tea cup with both hands, and blew into the cup with his mouth slightly open: "I only earn over 100,000 yuan after tax for a movie, and my lifetime earnings will not be worth what you make in one year.

"If I didn't have any singing talent, I would really like to sing like you."

"I'll just assume you're complimenting me."

Zhou Yi, who was flipping through the menu, saw that several of his favorite dishes had already been ticked. He couldn't help but curl his lips: "How can you do things like this? Treat me to a late-night snack and you've already ordered it?"

"Is there a possibility that even if you order, it will only be these few dishes?"

Chen Hao, with a bigger smile on his face, turned the tea cup in his hand and said jokingly: "Don't worry, I specifically told you not to use spicy food."
