China Entertainment 2000

Peking University, football field, crowded with people on the sidelines.

The scorching sun in midsummer treats everyone on the earth equally. Students from Peking University and non-Peking University students coming and going look into the football field from time to time. A figure that stands out from the crowd attracts everyone's attention.

The man wearing the same red and white jersey of Arsenal did a Marseille pirouette gracefully, then passed through five people with a crotchless pass and a cow tail flick, and finally penetrated the door held by the enemy goalkeeper with one kick——

"pretty!"

"What the hell, did you come in again?!"

"Is this Arsenal No. 22 so powerful?"

"I don't watch football, so I would like to ask, who is this person?"

"I don't watch football either, so I'd like to ask, are you playing football or table tennis?"

Seeing that the scoreboard on the sidelines had changed to 13:0, some bystanders who didn't know why looked at the man kneeling on the green to celebrate, and expressed doubts from the bottom of their hearts.

"Brother, is this your first time coming to Peking University?"

Among the crowd watching on the sidelines, a native of Peking University glanced at the unfamiliar face beside him who looked confused, and explained: "That is Zhou Yi, a celebrity from the law department."

"Oh, it turns out he is Zhou Yi."

The junior student who came from the technical college next door to see the beauty suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face when he heard this.

Zhou Yi, now a junior in the Department of Law at Peking University, quickly became famous throughout the Peking University student circle for his extremely good looks and chic style as soon as he entered the school.

Everyone knows that after Sa Beining, the Peking University Law Department has recruited another coquettish guy, and this person is even more coquettish than Sa Beining, who is now working at CCTV.

Moreover, unlike Sa Beining, who is keen on the "right path", this guy named Zhou Yi is quite wild and quite bold.

Sung at parties, danced in bars;

He dares to flirt with girls that others dare not flirt with; he dares to fight with girls that others dare not fight;

He worked in a work-study program, and it is said that a talent scout took a fancy to his looks and wanted to sign him to debut. He even heard that Gao Xiaosong, who came from Wudaokou next door, wanted to sign him and go to the wheat field to release songs for him.

Study well, grow tall, and have a handsome face. Not only does he like to exercise, he is physically strong, but he also sings beautifully.

What stands out about his chic and lively style is what a young man who has just entered the new era has imagined in his mind, and the beautiful sisters are rushing to make secret glances at him.

And whenever he sees the beautiful girls cheering for him boldly and giving him water on the sidelines, students majoring in dentistry at Peking University always experience a rush to fill their back molars.

"Stop it, Zhou Yi, you've already kicked 13 of us, don't we, the Chinese department, don't want to lose face?"

On the football field, the man in the red jersey held the ball and came back to the midline to kick off the ball. He had a sad face and complained to the man standing opposite him. The back of the bright red jersey was clearly marked with the words "Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Peking University".

"I let it go, I definitely let it go."

Opposite the man in the red jersey, Zhou Yi, who was 1.83 meters tall, raised his hand to smooth his bangs that were wet with sweat from his forehead. He placed his hands on his hips and panted, with a slight smile on his chiseled handsome face: " I only scored three, and the rest were scored by my teammates.”

"..." The senior from the Chinese Department couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Although I knew that he was indeed letting off steam, the more I heard these words, the more uncomfortable he became.

You scored three goals, and the other ten teammates each scored one, right? It's a law that can be applied to everything, and the goalkeeper can come up and kick a penalty kick and score one. It's ridiculous.

"Okay, okay, kick it quickly, kick it, what a waste of the game..."

Since the two teams combined could not make up three substitutes, under the nagging of the Chinese department, the law team was very proud and maintained the 13:0 score until the end.

After the game, Zhou Yi was dripping with sweat. He casually took off his jersey, and with his naked and muscular upper body chatting and laughing with his classmates, he came to the sidelines. As soon as he picked up the backpack containing his clothes and was about to change, he heard someone calling him from behind——

"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, someone just called you and said that someone is looking for you outside the school gate."

With a twisted Arsenal jersey hanging on his shoulders, Zhou Yi stopped to drink water after hearing this, and turned to look at the classmate who came to inform him in surprise: "Looking for me? Who is it?"

He has a football match in school today, and everyone he knows well knows that, so if you want to find him, just come to the football field directly?

"You're talking about someone from Warner, is there really a talent scout looking for you to become a star, Zhou Yi?"

Upon hearing the word "Warner", Zhou Yi's eyebrows raised subconsciously.

Why Warner again?

Then the old boy won't want to fool you again, right?

As a time traveler who was reborn from later generations, the name Warner Music is undoubtedly no stranger to him. At its peak, Warner Music was undoubtedly a giant, but now...

The turnaround ace Sun Yanzi created by Warner has not yet made his debut, and the famous Queen of Heaven has not yet been established. Compared with other giants, the domestic market share is a pitiful leftover level, all because it has been declining year by year. Aaron Kwok and Sammi Cheng are struggling to support.

Although Zhou Yi is confident that with the highly clear memories in his mind that should be due to his rebirth, he can still leave a reputation in the Chinese music scene as "one of the gods of the millennium music scene" by plagiarizing the classic songs of future kings and queens, but Considering the contract offered by Warner, he still refused.

Rejected twice.

He didn't want to have to fight one endless lawsuit after another if he wanted to get back the copyright of these songs.

As a descendant, he knows very well how profitable those popular song copyrights will be in the distant future. Just look at people like Jay Chou and JJ, they can make a lot of money just by licensing their songs.

Anyway, there is no shortage of ways to make money in his memory, let alone a small dream of 100 million.

Two years later, in the 2002 World Cup, Konishihachi shocked the world football world with a black whistle. His shady achievements were enough for him to earn a lot of money effortlessly.

By then, you will be rich, young, and your parents will be able to retire twenty years early.

To live a new life, having money can guarantee a comfortable life and allow the family to live a prosperous life without being tired.

Anyway, he is not a businessman.

It's an unexpected blessing to be able to enter the entertainment industry and make money using the memories in your head, but it's okay if you can't.

I really can't wait until the era of ring tones comes, and I can make a fortune by singing songs such as "Autumn Never Comes Back", "Damn Tenderness", "Mouse Loves Rice", etc.

Anyway, if he wanted to sell the copyright, he wouldn't feel bad at all selling the copyright of these songs.

This is a very weird psychology.

Zhou Yi once took some time to analyze himself, and came up with a precise answer to his dirty psychology: double standards.

He felt that by default, he regarded all the songs from later generations that had not yet appeared in his memory as his own. Of course, this specifically refers to those golden songs that can be turned into steps to become gods.

If you let him "sell" the copyright of these golden songs, he will be very distressed.

But if the original author created it and signed a contract with a music company to give up the copyright in order to make his debut, he would not have this mentality at all. Instead, while listening to the song, he would sigh and say that the singer is really awesome and the singing is so beautiful.

The reason is simply because he knows how much the copyright of these songs is worth.

If he were to "sell" it himself, he would instinctively have the illusion that he was cutting his own flesh.

If the original author wrote it and "sold it", that would be fine. Anyway, it will definitely not be him who will lose money in the future.

Double standards are normal.

Zhou Yi readily accepted his shortcomings and had no intention of changing them.

He is not a saint.

Hate other people's double standards, understand your own double standards, and become the double standards in others' mouths.

In my previous life, after graduating from college, I was severely beaten by society for four years in a law firm, but I never thought that I would be reborn after sleeping because I was too tired from overtime work.

It is precisely because of this that in the nineteen years since his rebirth, Zhou Yi has become very familiar with the so-called double standards.

He is just a common man, not so ambitious.

There must be true saints in this world who are worthy of admiration, but they are definitely not him. At most, he has some bottom line within his capabilities.

After taking out his Nokia 3210 from his backpack and notifying the people from Warner who were waiting outside the school gate, Zhou Yi went back to take a quick shower, changed into a white T-shirt and navy blue jeans, and rushed to the school gate wearing white sneakers. .

When I walked to the school gate, it was still the familiar location from the previous two times, and the same familiar face from the previous two times -

The representative from Warner is in his thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a slicked back haircut, and carrying a briefcase. He stands outside and attracts attention.

"Brother Qian, I'm sorry, I was just playing a school football match."

I was planning to refuse in my heart, but Zhou Yi still had the courtesy that he should have. He came up and apologized and explained the reason. It is not strange to be polite to many people.

"It's okay, it's okay, this is my problem. Oh, by the way, Ayi, the suggestion you made last time, if it's convenient, can we continue chatting?"

A man with a Hong Kong accent sent Zhou Yi some unexpected news.

ten minutes later.

In a now considered luxurious cafe, Brother Qian from Warner brought the sincerity from above: "That's right, Ayi, the company has decided to relax restrictions on the copyright of your songs..."

What the hell?

Is Warner so brave?

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised when he first heard the news.

He had heard that Warner waited for two years to sign Sun Yanzi, and immediately created a debut album tailored for her after signing her.

This kind of treatment is unbelievable among all the kings and queens who are in their early millennium.

When he was young, Jay Chou stayed in the company eating, drinking, sleeping, and writing songs just to get a chance. Comparing the two, they are somewhat tragic.

Do you want to experience Sun Yanzi's treatment now?

No, even though Sun Yanzi was nicknamed "Warner's daughter" when she first signed with Warner, at least all the copyrights for her songs before 2003 were taken away, right?

Uh, that's not right. At that time, Sun Yanzi didn't seem to have many songs composed by himself.

Putting aside his surprise, Zhou Yi took the drafted sample of the new contract and looked at it——

Compared with the previous two versions, it was almost the same, except that some new copyright protection clauses were added. One of them looked familiar to him. A simple translation is: the copyright of all songs composed by Zhou Yi belongs to Zhou Yi himself.

Of course, only those he created himself.

Zhou Yi smiled when he saw this.

He is familiar with this stuff.

In a previous life, it was rumored that the reason why Jay Chou was able to get back the copyright of the songs in his first seven albums after he and Wu Zongxian turned against each other was because when he signed a contract with Wu Zongxian's Alpha Company, Jay Chou's father insisted that the copyright protection clause left in the contract take effect. .

And the meaning of the copyright protection clause is quite different from Warner's version.

Unexpectedly, his first two refusals without any hesitation actually made Warner, who has been in an absolute low period for several years, give in.

It seems that all the work the university has done for me over the past few years has not been in vain.

But that's probably the biggest concession a singer-songwriter can get.

After all, for non-songwriters, the songs you sing are all taken back by the company for you. There is nothing wrong with you only having the right to sing, unless you spend money to buy the copyright of the song yourself.
