China Entertainment 2000

"Deng Shiying! What are you doing?! Hurry up! You'll be late!"

On August 7, 2001, at 14:24, outside a certain street in Hong Kong, several teenage female junior high school students stood at the intersection and kept shouting at their classmate in the distance who was holding a bottle of water in his hand.

"It's coming, it's coming, don't rush, don't rush, come right away!"

When the girl named Deng Shiying heard this, she quickly sped up her running speed and hurriedly caught up with her classmates. She gasped: "Why are you in such a hurry? Zhouyi's football game won't start so soon."

"Of course I want to take advantage of the few people to arrange it with the music club. Don't forget our goal today. We want to surprise Zhou Yi."

The girl with short ear-length hair emphatically criticized Deng Shiying's attitude: "Don't forget that we want Zhou Yi to know that no matter what happens, we will stand with him."

Little Deng Shiying, who was out of breath just now and was about to take a rest, suddenly became serious. The group of people suddenly got on the bus and rushed to their destination with high spirits.

The beginning of the holy war has led Zhou Yi fans who have become connected through the Internet to privately form multiple fan clubs led by different people. They are members of one of the fan clubs. Recently, they have contributed a lot to accompany Zhou Yi to fight against the heroes.

At the same time, because of Zhou Yi's recent experiences, the Zhou Yi fan club group gathered through the Internet has reached an agreement to give him an unexpected surprise when Zhou Yi plays football today.

To this end, it can be said that everyone who has money contributes money and has the ability to contribute. Deng Shiying, who possesses extremely high musical talent, was selected by her Zhouyi fan club organization alliance, allowing her to participate in an important link at the age of eleven.

It is amazing to say that little Deng Shiying, who has just entered the first grade of middle school, has participated in various singing competitions in the past, but this time she was particularly excited to support Zhou Yi.

Sitting on the bus, Deng Shiying, who thought that she would soon support her idol in person, subconsciously raised her hand to touch her chest, opened her mouth slightly and took a deep breath to relieve the tension that was constantly rising in her heart.

She is someone who has won many trophies and certificates. She cannot be nervous. She must not be nervous...

"Hey, have you read the newspapers? When Jackie Chan was in the United States to promote his new movie, he said in an interview that he supports Zhou Yi, and also said that if Chow Yun-fat really can't find the elevator door in Hollywood, he can help introduce a back door."

As a child whose family is not very short of money, in addition to chasing stars every day, only a few people who are chasing stars discuss the fate of the other two big stars in the recent holy war——

Jackie Chan, who is promoting his new movie "Rush Hour 2" in North America, was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic when asked about the public controversy between Zhou Yi and Chow Yun-fat in Hong Kong. He gave a piece of advice with a smile, which instantly shocked the people in the area. .

In the public's mind, Jackie Chan rarely makes such "high-level" comments about a colleague in publicity situations, especially when this colleague is Chow Yun-fat.

Zhang Ziyi, who was running with the crew members to promote her hair, turned up her lips in a way that even an American AK couldn't hold back, and everyone could see the joy on her face.

The sky has eyes!

伱Chow Yun-fat is a piece of shit and still wants to ridicule others every day?

Deserve it!

If Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat had a new grudge because of the latter's public ridicule of "feeding the grapes" at the Academy Awards, then the fate of another kung fu superstar Jet Li was an old grudge.

The reason is very simple. His wife Li Zhi was often bullied by Chow Yun-fat.

He is also running activities in North America and has finished the promotion of his new movie "Kiss of the Dragon".

Although the film's box office performance was unsatisfactory. But in the disc market, Jet Li still performed as strongly as in the past, and the name of the R-rated film God of War is still resounding.

When asked by a Hong Kong reporter about Zhou Yi's battle with Chow Yun-fat, the kung fu superstar's answer was more aggressive than Jackie Chan: "It's normal for Chow Yun-fat to look down on Zhou Yunfa, he is such a person at heart.

"Didn't Zhou Yi also say that Chow Yun-fat simply issued an apology notice on the surface, but didn't even make a real apology call in private? I'm very familiar with this."

Jet Li, who is very high-spirited in the Hollywood B-movie market, knew all the ins and outs through his agent when the incident broke out, and mocked Chow Yun-fat for not having any psychological or performance pressure.

I think back then, the three major Chinese superstars Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Chow Yun-fat were all working in Hollywood, but now only Chow Yun-fat is the only one who has gone back to Hong Kong in despair.

Therefore, it is rare for a young man from the mainland to dare to start a group with Chow Yun-fat. As long as his personal interests are not involved, Jet Li does not mind helping out.

The mainland entertainment industry originally had different opinions on Zhou Yi's tough and high-profile handling of the matter. Some people thought it was reasonable, while others thought it was too tough and undermined the unity of the two places' entertainment circles.

But after the two heavyweights Jackie Chan and Jet Li spoke out, the mainland entertainment industry immediately lost its opposition and even stepped in to support Chow Yun-fat's reputation of discriminating against mainland artists——

"Several mainland artists, including Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang, have contacted us. They plan to take this opportunity to make a joint announcement to raise awareness of the treatment of mainland artists in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and prohibit discrimination."

In the car heading to the stadium, Zhou Yi, who was texting Chen Hao, heard Qian Jiang's words and couldn't help but stop pressing the keyboard and raised his head in surprise: "Discrimination is prohibited?"

"right."

Qian Jiang nodded, with a rather gloating tone: "It can only be said that some big guys in the mainland entertainment industry have been grudges for a long time. They wanted to have an attack, but they never found an excuse to take action.

"You know, we in China have always been very particular about what we do. It just so happens that you were discriminated against by Chow Yun-fat, which gave them this opportunity.

"Even top celebrities like Chow Yun-fat will discriminate against you, a little king who is extremely popular, but what about other mainland artists?"

As the only person in the mainland entertainment industry who can compete with Chow Yun-fat and others, Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli and others have waited too long for this opportunity.

They don't have too much information about Hong Kong artists discriminating against mainland artists, but they have always considered the impact to be retreated.

It's a pity that what you get in exchange is not gratitude, but extravagance.

The appearance of Zhou Yi is like a timely rain, bringing relief to the internal entertainment bosses who were anxious to get angry after a long drought - because this matter is now big enough and influential enough.

It doesn't matter if you discriminated against others before, Zhou Yi is now a real leader in the mainland music scene. You dare to discriminate against the top brother in the music industry who is officially stamped. I don’t dare to think about what you will dare to discriminate against in the future.

When it comes to playing word games, every big shot in the entertainment industry in this era is proficient in it.

"Of course no problem, I'll be happy to help."

Zhou Yi, who was naturally happy to hear about this, readily agreed.

The contradiction between domestic entertainment and Hong Kong entertainment was supposed to explode in 2004, but now it was detonated by him in 2001. In a sense, he helped Chow Yun-fat "leave his name in history."

This period will definitely be indispensable in the future archaeological internal entertainment history of Baijiahao.

After all, he is much more popular than the Little White Dragon Wang Bozhao in 2004, and Chow Yun-fat's status as a celebrity in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is not comparable to that of Nicholas Tse and Nick Cheung in 2004.

If possible, he really wanted to personally interview Chow Yun-fat about his feelings at this moment. It would be unpleasant to be treated as a case of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

After all, although Jet Li quit his Chinese citizenship and became an American citizen, it was very controversial and he was criticized. But at least for now, Jet Li is still officially the Chinese superstar second only to Jackie Chan.

The influence is here.

He has all supported it, and with Jackie Chan, a Chinese national who has influence all over the world's Chinese regions, it is not unusual for the domestic entertainment association to unanimously agree so quickly.

Jackie Chan + Jet Li + Zhou Yi, what can you, Chow Yun-fat, do?

It turns out that this is indeed the case.

When Zhou Yi arrived at the stadium to meet with a group of Hong Kong celebrities, he could clearly notice some subtle changes in the faces of the celebrities who were helping Chow Yun-fat and Mu Ni.

"Welcome, Ayi. I have always heard that you are very accomplished in football. I hope you can let me see your style today."

After Qian Jiang left, Anita Mui, as the eldest member of the cheerleading team, took the initiative to talk like a normal person. Zeng Zhiwei, who had already changed into his football uniform, smiled and extended his hand to Zhou Yi: "Yes, yes, Ayi, the audience here today is looking forward to it."

"I will try my best not to disappoint the audience friends who bought tickets to enter the venue."

The sharp-eyed Zhou Yi had already noticed the cheerleaders who came to cheer him up not far away. He smiled and shook hands with a group of Hong Kong celebrities and excused himself from the greetings with them by going to the locker room to change clothes.

Zhou Xun, who was still leaning on the railing and watching Elva Hsiao, Stefanie Sun, Angela Zhang and Fan Bingbin playing football, also saw Zhou Yi rushing towards him, and couldn't help raising his hand to say hello to him: "Hey, Zhou Yi, you're here so early. .”

"It's my first time to play football at the Hong Kong Stadium. I have to get used to the turf as soon as possible. It will be embarrassing if something happens on the field."

Stefanie Sun, who was still playing football, didn't catch it. The football flew out from under her feet and hit Zhou Yi. The latter raised his feet lightly, and the football immediately stuck to his feet as if it was stuck with glue. Step on.

Eye-catching——

"How did you do it?" Stefanie Sun was a little unbelievable.

"Why does the ball fly out as if it's equipped with a spring when we move our feet?" Elva Hsiao was also curious.

Fan Bingbin noticed the Anta shoes under Zhou Yi's feet: "Can you stop the ball like this without changing your football shoes?"

Angela Chang, who had been busy before and now took time to be a cheerleader, smiled and gave the man a hug: "Long time no see, Zhou Yi."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Compared with last year, Angela Chang was obviously no longer embarrassed and inferior in the past when facing him, but was more relaxed and generous.

It does make sense that red energy nourishes people.

It was Stefanie Sun who, while he was still chatting with Angela Zhang, Elva Hsiao, and Zhou Xun, squatted down and quietly stretched out her right hand, and poked the football that was very obedient under Zhou Yi's feet with her index finger——

Zhou Yi, who felt it, looked at him strangely: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about why you can stop so smoothly." Sun Yanzi looked up at Zhou Yi and grinned, his smile was particularly innocent.

"Is there a possibility that I am actually a professional?"

"Then you shouldn't appear here, but should appear on the field where the Chinese team competes in the top ten games."

Zhou Yi nodded clearly: "It makes sense. Whenever the national football team organizes a friendly match against Singapore, I will apply to join and play as a forward. I will try to beat Singapore 16:0."

"Kick you in the head."

Sun Yanzi stood up and cursed with a smile: "Hurry up and change your clothes and get familiar with your teammates, otherwise no one will pass the ball to you on the court."

Zhou Yi hummed a tune proudly after smacking his lips, picked up the football with one kick, and walked to the locker room while bouncing the ball. The girls watched in amazement.

Stefanie Sun curled her lips in disdain: "Starting to pretend again."

However, her gaze was indeed not very convincing - her eyes were always attracted by the figure walking around while bouncing the ball. Zhou Yi, who was playing football, felt a little more different than usual.

After entering the locker room of the stadium, there were a lot of Hong Kong celebrities that Zhou Yi was familiar with and unfamiliar with.

The first thing that caught my eye was Yuen Biao, a famous Hong Kong action actor, the younger brother of Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan.

"First meeting, Ayi, Yuan Biao. Or you can call me by my real name, Xia Lingzhen."

Yuan Biao, who has martial arts skills, instinctively looked at Zhou Yi's body proportions, smiled and pinched his arm: "You're doing well in physical training. Jackie Chan is indeed right. Let's find some time to practice?"

"No, no, I don't have the foundation you have, Uncle Yuan." Zhou Yi smiled and waved his hand to refuse.

Under the leadership of Yuan Biao, he also made some teammates who would join his team later.

At the end of last year, I met Chen Baixiang, who was on the top ten Chinese hits. Zhou Yi's deepest impression of him was Zhu Zhishan in Stephen Chow's movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance";

Secondly, Hong Kong stars such as Julian Cheung, Hacken Lee, Simon Yam, Zhong Zhentao, etc. that Zhou Yi had seen on TV in his previous life also greeted him quite kindly at this moment.

A team's main starting eleven, apart from these few, the rest are Hong Kong stars such as Xie Tianhua and Guan Lijie who are obviously not well-known in the mainland.

Some other aging superstars simply watched the water cooler from the bench.

"Ayi, what happened during this period... I know you may be very resentful in your heart, but in fact, not everyone in Hong Kong views you that way."

After greeting each other, Chen Baixiang came over to comfort him while changing his football shoes.

"I understand, Brother Alek."

Zhou Yi, who put on a red and white uniform, bent over to tie his shoelaces without comment, then changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, is this a replica of Arsenal's style?"

"You are the protagonist of our team today. You were recorded wearing an Arsenal uniform while playing football in school."

When talking about football, Chen Baixiang's face became even more cheerful: "Play your best today, Ayi, we will try our best to pass the ball to you."

"Okay, then I'll thank Brother Alek in advance."

Zhou Yi, who stood up and jumped twice, followed Chen Baixiang out of the locker room.

Because the scale of this charity match was relatively formal, the group of them were taken to the serious player tunnel by the staff after changing into their uniforms. Under the camera, they held the hand of the little ball boy and waited. Come in.

Zeng Zhiwei, who was wearing a light yellow jersey, also came to the player tunnel shortly afterwards. Zhou Yi glanced at it and saw Xie Tingfeng walking at the front.

Like him, the number behind Xie Tingfeng today is No. 9, and he obviously plays as a forward.

As the two most popular people present, the camera firmly pinned the two to the same position the moment they were in the same frame.

"Hopefully there will be a good outcome."

Xie Tingfeng, who had not suffered any consequences in the previous war, took the initiative to reach out to Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi responded with a smile: "Then I wish you good luck."

"..."

?

Xie Tingfeng tasted it carefully, and then his eyes swept towards Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Qiusheng, Tang Zhenye and others behind him.

From a young man's perspective, he admired Zhou Yi's ability and courage to do this.

If this were the situation where he was caught by Chow Yun-fat, his only way to respond would be to be pressured by the company to say something that he didn't mean, and then use the stage to vent his frustration.

After the DJ at the stadium started to exaggerate the atmosphere of the scene, the two teams were led by Zhou Yi and Xie Tingfeng respectively. They each wore the captain's armband and led the team slowly out of the player tunnel——

The deafening cheers were clear and distinct, and it turned into a world of ice and fire!

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!! Zhou Yi!!!"

"Ting Feng! Ting Feng!! Ting Feng!!!"

As the only person in the team who could compete with Zhou Yi in terms of popularity, Xie Tingfeng's appearance instantly overshadowed the cheers of all the other members of the Yellow Team.

The cheerleaders headed by Anita Mui cheered for them in the exclusive stand area, attracting many people's attention.

In contrast, the stands were shouting Zhou Yi.

A group of women led by Stefanie Sun were lined up, and they even held a banner with the four characters "Come on Zhou Yi" written on it, which made Zhou Yi's eyes twitch.

This way of refueling... is really very contemporary.

Seeing the camera sweeping over, Stefanie Sun held Elva Hsiao with one hand and Fan Bingbin with the other. She bared her big teeth and wildly waved a "Zhouyi" flag: "Come on Zhouyi!!"

Standing next to her was Angela Chang, who was directing people to pull up banners.

"..."

This is difficult to comment on.

Zhou Yi didn't know for a moment whether Stefanie Sun was surprising or frightening him.

Does he need this support? !

Sighing slightly helplessly, with a whistle from the part-time referee, a football match kicked off with thunderous cheers from the audience——

Zhou Yi, who won the ball by guessing, immediately started dribbling the ball and showing off after receiving the ball.

Xie Tingfeng, who was standing in front of him blocking the way just after the kick-off, was deceived by the cow's tail and lost his balance. He twisted his body and almost slipped!

Seeing this, the "Zhouyi" cheers became more and more enthusiastic in the stands.

Zhou Yi, who thought he could feel the difficulty in this group of people, after easily passing a few people, saw that he was about to fall into a situation full of big men, and passed the ball out with a casual kick——

The ball drew a perfect arc on the court like a scalpel and was accurately delivered to the feet of the confused Chen Baixiang.

Unfortunately, the latter had difficulty reacting to the sudden pass and was directly caught by the goalkeeper.

"Be serious, be serious! Cheer up!!!"

Eric Tsang, who plays as a midfielder, immediately clapped his hands and reminded loudly: "Ah Yi is very strong!"

A bit boring.

Zhou Yi, who thought it would give him a boost of strength, smiled at Chen Baixiang who gave him a thumbs up, returned the gesture of not paying attention and walked back.

These people play football all the time, and their level is not very high.

Zhou Yi was already thinking about whether he needed to paddle until he was knocked down by two goals near halftime - he was a forward, and he directly became the team's front midfielder and brains with his kicks.

Until the time on the big screen on the sidelines reached 12 minutes——

A blast of music instantly overwhelmed all the noise, and the sudden rock rhythm made everyone at the scene freeze.

After receiving the ball, Zhou Yi stepped on the ball, frowned and looked diagonally to the left: There was a set of band equipment transported from somewhere in the stand area, and a little girl who looked no older than a junior high school student was standing as the lead singer. position.

At 12 minutes and 13 seconds, the tuning ended, and the loud singing accompanied by the explosive music spread throughout the entire stadium!

"Me and my proud power! Hold your hands tightly and never let go!

"The next stop is heaven!

"Even if you are disappointed, don't despair!!!"

The loud female voice resounded through the sky along with the obviously adapted "Stubborn". Along with the singing of this junior high school girl, a huge TIFO secretly produced by the Zhouyi Fan Club was slowly unfolded in the stands——

Zhou Yi, dressed in bright clothes and angry horses, stood proudly on the ground. His handsome face and the chorus led by the female voice shocked the entire stadium!

"Fuck! What is that?!"

Stefanie Sun, holding the flagpole in her hand, saw this for the first time such a huge banner that spanned almost half of the stands. Her eyes widened in surprise and she said in disbelief.

"TIFO...mine?"

Zhou Yi stepped on the ball on the court and stared blankly at the huge banner held high by the fans in the stands. The girl's loud singing voice immediately became soothing, like a confession letter written by a fan to him. Everything was So eloquently told——

"Dang, you are different from the world

"Then continue to be different

"For you, perseverance means using strength to overcome strength~"

From soothing to high-pitched, the progressive emotions exploded at the highest point, and the stands on all sides of the stadium were also infected by the atmosphere of this chorus——

The players on the field stopped playing football. Zhou Yi, who was rubbing his nose, pursed his lips and walked slowly to the sidelines. He raised his hands and applauded the fans in the stands, beating the rhythm and raising his eyebrows. It's hard to describe the feeling in words.

Amidst the chorus of roaring mountains and tsunamis, Xie Tingfeng, standing behind Zhou Yi, seemed to have become the background at this moment, leaving only the deafening... stubbornness!

December 13th, his birthday.
