China Entertainment 2000

As a big brother with a temper, Zang Tianshuo almost couldn't control the anger in his heart, but on the other end of the phone was his big brother——

"not me--"

"What am I, you have no fucking brains, don't take me to death with you! From today on, I don't have a penny to do with you, right?!"

"Get as far away from me as you can!"

"..."

Seeing the phone call being hung up, Zang Tianshuo, who had relied on his backers to dominate for many years, fell into confusion.

He doesn't understand and doesn't understand.

He was still smiling when he received the dividends last month. How come in the blink of an eye, the mother who gave birth to him and raised him was insulted?

But soon, he realized something——

Damn it, has something happened?

It shouldn't be. If the scandal really happened, the person opposite should not have such an angry tone.

After a brief period of confusion, Zang Tianshuo's heart was in a state of confusion.

What do you mean it doesn't matter a penny?

You've been eating for so many years, and your belly is so damn fat that it's dripping with oil. You tell me it's okay?

Zang Tianshuo, who pushed Siqingerile away, dialed the phone back decisively——

"beep……"

"..."

Zang Tianshuo, who had not waited for a reply for a long time, was really panicked this time.

Hold!

Playing for real?

"What happened? Why does your face look so ugly?" Siqingerile frowned when he noticed something was wrong with the man's face.

"I don't know. I'm going out for a while. You stay at home and don't move around."

"But this is all——"

Siqingerile didn't even finish her words. After seeing Zang Tianshuo get out of bed and change clothes with a speed she had never seen before, she immediately fell silent.

Zang Tianshuo, with a solemn look on his face, drove out of the community with his plump belly puffed out——

What he didn't expect was that the landing gear at the gate of the community seemed to be broken?

"Beep! Beep beep!!!"

In the middle of winter, Zang Tianshuo honked his horn hard, causing the security guards and maintenance workers to turn around.

"I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, Mr. Zang. The landing gear broke at an untimely time. Our maintenance workers are still repairing it."

"..."

Click!

Not far away from the security booth, Wang Xiaoyu, who had become the leader of the maintenance company this time, finally waited for the person he wanted to take pictures of, and picked up the steaming mug that was still sizzling just now——

The camera that was supposed to take pictures of the damaged part of the landing gear and the scene changed the angle and took pictures of Zang Tianshuo who was anxious to go out.

"It's such a teacher-student relationship... awesome."

Watching the black tiger running straight out of the community after lifting the pole, Wang Xiaoyu, who put down his camera, picked up the thermos cup again and took a sip, his tone a little emotional.

Zhou Yi really gave him a problem that was not even a difficult problem.

"However, relying solely on teacher-student love is not enough..."

Recalling what Zhou Yi said and the key points he explained before he came, Wang Xiaoyu secretly murmured in his heart.

"Hello? What are you doing over there? Why haven't I seen you?"

"Oh, I'm an insurance company. The car that accidentally crashed the landing gear is the client I'm responsible for. Let me come and see what's going on at the scene."

Wang Xiaoyu, who was calm and composed, chatted with people and recommended insurance to each of them, showing off his professionalism.

"..."

………………………

"You know what you're doing is against the law?"

Zhou Yi family.

After finally finishing the entire rehearsal process of the first round of the Spring Festival Gala, it was a rare day for me to stay at home today. I fell asleep and had a good sleep. Zhou Yi was about to go out for a toothpaste ceremony. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, something strange in the living room suddenly appeared. caught his eye——

Chen Hao, who was wearing an off-white turtleneck sweater and suit trousers, was squatting on the living room floor picking up documents and papers. When he heard the sound of opening the door, he looked up in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"...This is a good question."

Zhou Yi, who was wrapped in a large magenta sleeping jacket to keep him warm, just got out of bed, raised his hands and yawned: "This is my home. Is it possible that I can still be at your home if I'm not here?"

"It's not impossible."

After picking up all the documents scattered on the ground and placing them one by one on the coffee table in the living room, Chen Haoxiao clapped his hands and stood up straight with his eyes narrowed: "I'm here to deliver the contract to you. Since you are at home today, then Just watch it, it’s a collaboration with Wang Xiaojing.”

Zhou Yi, who was leaning on the door frame, suddenly became energetic when he heard this and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "So fast?"

"The team of lawyers introduced by Sa Beining are very capable and they figured it out in a few moments. Wang Xiaojing also really wants to cooperate. The 5% share is higher than the 2% or 3% you estimated."

Zhou Yi was really in the mood this time.

The income brought by the members of the first phase of the Women's Twelve Band is still considerable. Even if it is 5%, it will still be a lot of money when accumulated over the next few times, and it is still foreign exchange.

"Also, he wanted to meet you for dinner, but he didn't say why."

"I've been saying that I'm busy with the English single, so just say you don't know."

Zhou Yi looked at the contract and replied nonchalantly: "Someone has been eyeing me recently. He probably didn't want to make things worse. He immediately thought of setting up a drink to help me settle the matter, and asked Zang Tianshuo to follow me at the wine table. Negotiated."

"I know this. What I'm saying is that you don't know what's going on at all, and the news comes out inexplicably." Chen Hao nodded.

In the Mainland during this period, most of the atmosphere in the Mainland entertainment circle still remained in the "jianghu".

It's all about the world, don't take the matter to court, it won't look good. Most film and television companies and record companies believe in this.

What stands out is a Chi Qian tortoise, and there are big brothers everywhere.

This is the case for Hairun Film and Television, with Hai Yan at the helm, and the same is true for Huayi Brothers, whose company name is the same as Warner Bros., as well as for other mainland record companies including Xiyangyang Records, which has a long history.

Chen Hao, who doesn't know much about the dark side of the entertainment industry, asked curiously: "You don't want to negotiate?"

"No, no, no, now it's not a question of whether I want it or not, it's a question of whether Warner wants it or not. He wants to be the middleman but he has found the wrong person."

Zhou Yi shook his finger and denied: "Someone wants to take a piece of Warner's plate now, which is tantamount to tampering with Zhou Jianhui's performance.

"What does it have to do with me? I'm just an innocent boy who doesn't understand the world."

These days, there are four main ways for singers to make money: endorsements, album releases, concerts and acupuncture.

The money spent on variety shows is really pitiful in comparison.

This is why many singers basically go on shows during album or concert promotion periods to increase exposure.

With Zhou Yi's current popularity, the concerts he holds are 100% profitable, or huge profits. The real money after the accounts are divided is a real achievement.

Not to mention that Zhou Yi basically did not perform acupuncture, and only participated in offline activities of endorsed brands;

There are still very few people on the show, and even the endorsements can be counted on one hand.

In this case, besides releasing albums, the most profitable way for Zhou Yi is to perform concerts.

What level do you, Zang Tianshuo, dare to put your hand on Warner's account plate?

At least Zhou Jianhui's external attitude is this -

I have just taken over as the president of Greater China, and you, a little brat, come to grab food from me. What do others think of me? What do my colleagues think of me? What will Zhou Yi think of me? What would Stefanie Sun think of me?

What if Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi were disappointed in me, Zhou Jianhui, then wouldn’t other record companies smile crookedly?

"The company has not encountered anything like what the media said recently, and Ayi is very happy in the company, and so is Stefanie."

On the morning of November 27th.

Zhou Jianhui himself proactively mentioned the threat for the first time in an interview, refuted the rumors as false, and emphasized that Zhou Yi did not have the idea of ​​​​changing jobs as reported by the outside world. The media were as excited as sharks smelling blood.

Since Zhou Yi was not well-known when he first signed the contract, the media was still unsure about how many years he signed the contract with Warner.

Some said three or four years, some said six or seven years, and some even said ten years.

But the top executives in the industry are basically clear.

It’s only four years. The worst that can happen is you have to pay liquidated damages. Come to our company as soon as Yi Yanzi comes. The brother and sister who come will be yours.

After it was confirmed that Zhou Yi's concert in Imperial City was blocked, major record companies, including Universal and EMI, were secretly poking fun at him. This only further proved why Zhou Jianhui was so angry that he took action personally.

Impeccable.

The money-spinner is about to be cut down. Who will die if you don’t die?

Who can bear this?

As soon as the Warner machine was turned on, the relevant stakeholders who had caught wind of the rumor immediately began to pretend to be dead. No matter how Zang Tianshuo searched again and again, the answers he got were that he was not at home, not free, and would definitely do it next time.

In just one day, all the important people he knew in the past "disappeared".

No matter how stupid he is, he still knows whether he has really hit the wall this time, or whether everyone behind him can't save it even if they join forces.

Sadly, he didn't even know why he was abandoned.

"Recently, I have only been eyeing one Zhou Yi, that is to say, it is Warner. But just one Warner won't make them all retreat. Could it be that there is also Coca-Cola?"

Zang Tianshuo, who was so worried that he only drank some white porridge all day, suddenly felt very sad.

It's okay to lose, but he doesn't even know why he lost, which is very frustrating.

With no one to introduce him, and no idea what news to pay attention to and think about, he had no idea that the entire WTO accession group existed, and he didn't even know what the WTO accession group was.

"Go to Zhou Yi. The incident started because of him. You should give him a good apology and satisfy him. Maybe this matter will be solved."

Equally tired is his wife Li Mei, who still has the last glimmer of hope for Zang Tianshuo.

She knew about her husband and the female student, but she was not willing to divorce, because she would really lose if she divorced. As long as Zang Tianshuo doesn't get divorced, no matter how much money Zang Tianshuo makes from now on, she will get half of it.

After all, she and Zang Tianshuo still have children.

"The one who is angry now is Zhou Jianhui. Zhou Yi has never been a serious member of the imperial music circle before, and I'm afraid he has never heard of you.

"Judging from Zhou Yi's status in Warner Bros., if you can get his forgiveness, Zhou Jianhui probably won't do anything to you."

"I don't even know where the door of Zhou Yi's house is, how can I find him?"

"Didn't you say you gave him a business card during rehearsal, but he didn't give it to you?"

"No."

Zang Tianshuo, whose eyes were obviously red from staying up all night, wiped his face in pain: "He said he didn't have a business card and he was still young."

"..."

"I'll look for Wang Xiaojing, or other people who have interacted with him at the Spring Festival Gala."

No matter how uncomfortable it is, you still have to do what needs to be done.

However, what Zang Tianshuo didn't expect was that as soon as he left the house, several newspapers in the imperial capital published conclusive evidence that he had cheated on a female student during his marriage on the front page——

The extremely clear photos are like a heavy hammer, directly in November, when the Spring Festival Gala is increasingly discussed: because the protagonist in the photo is the artist who participated in the 2002 Spring Festival Gala.

"Female Student Cheating in Marriage!" The famous singer has a human face and an animal heart! 》

"Full of evil!" Ten crimes committed by famous singers! 》

"..."

As a singer with a well-known masterpiece, as soon as the news about Zang Tianshuo came out, driven by a pair of invisible hands, it almost spread throughout the imperial capital and the cities near the imperial capital.

The speed was fast enough for people to see how angry Zhou Jianhui was.

The most important thing is that Zhou Jianhui's public itinerary suddenly added a trip to the head office.

Now it was not just Zang Tianshuo who was panicking, but everyone behind him.

"Brother, brother, please, find a chance to help invite Zhou Yi out for a meal."

"Sister, sister, I am serious. I know I was wrong. Can you please find someone to make an appointment with Zhou Yi?"

"..."

Now there are many more people who are really afraid of causing surprise to their allies.

joke.

If this matter really comes to the fore, there will be more than one person who will have a bad look on their face. Moreover, when you pull out the radish and bring out the mud, none of them are indeed clean...

"This matter is purely Zang Tianshuo's personal behavior and has nothing to do with me, uncle."

"Auntie, believe me, I really don't know the situation."

The backer of the light speed slide was still being cut. Zang Tianshuo also knew where he had lost from the restless emotions in the circle, and his eyes almost popped out for a moment——

Hold!

You damn Warner are so capable, why were you so miserable in China before? ! Do you need to acquire a wheat field to enter the mainland music market? !

This sudden agitation even alarmed the top brass of CCTV.

After all, Zang Tianshuo is still on the Spring Festival Gala list, and this incident happened at this juncture...

"Can you contact Zhou Jianhui?"

"Yes, yes, but he should be angry now. This time he went a bit too far. Their usual rule is 30% of the ticket price, and if they use their audio equipment, they will pay an equipment fee."

"Nonsense!"

"What about the kid named Zhou Yi? See if you can get him to persuade Zhou Jianhui. Zhou Jianhui should be able to listen to what he says."

"..."

Against the backdrop of the angry Zhou Jianhui, Zhou Yi became a handsome and harmless child.

At the same time, he is the only one who can hold Zhou Jianhui back.

Those who deserved favors were owed favors, and those who deserved favors were given favors. Zhou Yi, who should have been at the center of public opinion, quietly stayed out of the incident and became a bystander of the incident——

He has also become a middleman in the eyes of many people, the only suitable person who can persuade Zhou Jianhui not to go to Warner headquarters to spread the news.

After all, this person is still actively participating in the world, and the famous singer in the mainland music scene is being blackmailed... It really doesn't sound good to say it out loud.

Is this how to create a business environment?

"It should be almost done now. Once Wang Xiaoyu digs out all the evidence, it will be enough to send him in."

Warner Building, President's Office.

Zhou Yi, who also received a lot of calls today, hung up another call and smiled playfully: "I heard that he also wants to see me now."

"It's normal to want to see you. It's up to you to decide how much favor I can get this time."

Zhou Jianhui, who was smiling, didn't look the least bit angry: "The head office hasn't finished counting your first-day data, but in terms of singles, they have set some obstacles for you."

With that said, Zhou Jianhui handed Zhou Yi a list of names.

"Stumbling block?"

Zhou Yi was a little curious. When he opened it, the first thing that caught his eye was not the popular name in his mind.

"The woman ranked first is Alicia Keys. Her single "Fallin" is in the R\u0026B style and has strong data. It is said that she has the ability to compete for Grammy awards such as Best New Artist and Best Record.

"The second woman is Kylie Minogue, and her single "Can't Get You out of My Head" is currently the fastest-rising single on the US Billboard singles chart. If your single wants to hit the charts If you get to the front, there is a high chance that you will bump into her..."

Zhou Jianhui, who knew that Zhou Yi most likely did not know the two, gave a brief introduction, especially the latter.

The rapid rise of "Can't Get You out of My Head" is simply rare in the world, not to mention that the song has now reached the top of the charts in more than ten countries except the United States.

"..."

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised when he saw the first two names before he looked at them.

Kylie Minogue, nicknamed the Australian Princess Pea.

It was very popular in the past, but later became a blur. After the rejuvenation, "Can't Get You out of My Head", which can be called the slow rock music, finally became a hit in more than 20 countries in Europe and America except the United States. The epic achievement directly allowed her to reach a new peak after her rejuvenation;

As for Alicia Keys, she is nicknamed Gunslinger.

This person is even more important in Zhou Yi’s impression:

He officially debuted in 2001 and released his first studio album in June.

Grammy Award for Best New Artist, Best Song of the Year, Best Female R\u0026B Vocalist, Best R\u0026B Single, and Best Blues Album;

The world's best-selling R\u0026B female artist in 2001, and the world's best-selling new artist in 2001.

In the true sense, the debut is the peak, a violent mess.

"It's almost December, are their songs still so powerful?"

Zhou Yi couldn't help but bared his teeth when he saw the large list of data.

Alicia’s single in April and her album in June, it’s almost December and it’s still one of the most popular songs;

Not to mention the Princess and the Pea Kylie Minogue. She released her song in September and her song is still in the upward stage.

"It's a bit surprising. I thought the number one singer would be Britney Spears..."

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

Before this, Zhou Yi really thought that Britney was his biggest obstacle on the singles chart.

ps: It’s a little late, but the problem is not big. I changed the direction and the information is updated.
