China Entertainment 2000

A day named Dahan in terms of solar terms has somewhat conflicting meaning with people in the entertainment industry. However, Zhou Yi's return with great honors has made the entertainment circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places excited——

Warner's booming festive press releases were spread all over the country early. Except for those news pages that were really unavailable, everyone else was bought.

Whether it's a tabloid or a big newspaper, I'm not short of money. As long as you are through a formal channel and are willing to faithfully read the manuscript written by the Warner Public Relations Department, you can come and collect the money.

In the first month of 2002, Warner's bold behavior of throwing away money won unanimous praise from most domestic news practitioners, and even the US Billboard Awards, which is currently a niche thing in China, were It was washed into the minds of a large number of domestic people in a cycle.

Finally, it was officially announced that a celebration banquet will be held in the imperial capital on January 25, which is December 13 of the lunar calendar. Because this day is Zhou Yi’s true birthday, a large number of media will be invited to broadcast it.

Because of past historical grievances, "Next Weekly" and "Apple Daily", which neither received money nor invitations, dare not say a word about Zhouyi's results at this moment, and can only secretly find other ways to sell sales. , a wave of traffic——

"Nan Tingfeng lost to Bei Zhouyi, and "cousin" Faye Wong was heartbroken and chose someone else! 》

While Zhou Yi was away from the country, Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. held the third TVB8 Golden Melody Award Ceremony. At this award ceremony, Faye Wong and Xie Tingfeng, who was rumored to have a change of heart, can be said to have completely confirmed the rumors of a breakup. Got——

After receiving the award on stage, Nicholas Hsieh, who sang the hit song "Perfume" from his new album "Prophecy of the Century", sat next to Cecilia Cheung, with whom he had been rumored to have an affair, and teased her. He also chatted and laughed with his good brother Edison Chen.

Faye Wong's eyes turned slightly red due to sadness when she turned her head to see this scene. They were caught by the camera which was not too serious about watching the excitement. The queen, who showed her true feelings, even looked a little overwhelmed when she saw the camera, as if A newcomer who just debuted without any expression management.

Because Zhou Yiren was not in the country when the news broke out, although many media included him in the incident, most of them blamed Sammi Cheng and Cecilia Cheung, who were suspected of being involved in Feng Fei's relationship.

After all, Faye Wong's expression shows that she was hurt by Xie Tingfeng, not that she first fell in love with Zhou Yi.

Not to mention that earlier, the scandal between Warner's Sammi Cheng and Nicholas Tse was so intense that Nicholas Tse had to hold a press conference to clarify the matter.

"Faye Wong is suspected of attending the Zhouyi celebration banquet and officially holding hands with the new Asian king Zhouyi. There are also rumors that Faye Wong is considering switching to Warner for her husband after ending the contract with EMI Records, and becoming the empress of Warner's Queen of Heaven..."

In the past 2001, Warner Thean Hou Temple has gained a lot——

Na Ying, Stefanie Sun, and Zhang Huimei hit hard, and the three albums by these three people directly made the title of Warner Queen's Palace worthy of its name.

Especially Stefanie Sun.

As a breakthrough, thanks to the best-selling album "Kite", she became the fastest young Chinese female singer to become a queen in the new millennium.

And precisely because of this, as the other side of the twin stars, she has long become the de facto queen of Warner Queen's Palace in the eyes of fans.

Needless to say, the influence of "Next Weekly". In addition, as soon as this report came out, Faye Wong simply refuted the rumor and then made no further news. Faye Wong's fans, who are extremely powerful in combat, seemed to accept it overnight. Zhou Yi, the playboy they had looked down upon before——

Flowers return to flowers, at least the results are good enough!

Fans of Faye Wong here are satisfied after some comparisons, but it is the turn of fans of Stefanie Sun to be dissatisfied - What are you, an old woman in your thirties, making trouble?

"The female junior is holding a gold brick. How many years older are you than Zhou Yi?"

"Do you really think everyone is Xie Tingfeng? Isn't Xie Tingfeng tired of playing and leaving?"

"Why did Faye Wong open a treasury?"

Fans of Stefanie Sun here claim sovereignty and seize on Faye Wong's pain points; Faye Wong's fans, who are the most powerful in the Chinese music scene, are also not to be outdone, chasing after Stefanie Sun because she owns an airport at a young age. Hit hard.

Stefanie Sun, who was still happily surfing the Internet and eating melons, bouncing around like a turtle in a melon field, suddenly became depressed——

Sitting on a chair in the study room at home, I stared at the sky at a 45-degree angle for a long time, then lowered my eyes and glanced...

Depend on!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She picked up the keyboard and joined the battlefield. She punched hard with her nameless trumpet and beat ten with one in the forum. She was directly regarded as the leader of the God of War by many Stefanie fans!

Thanks to the fact that Zhou Yi opened a trumpet and infiltrated his own fan group and watched them bragging every day. In the end, he was disliked by the fans for not liking Zhou Yi enough and was sanctioned. Stefanie Sun, who found it interesting, also raised several little ones that no one knew about. No.

After all, trumpets don’t cost much these days.

While clicking the keyboard and biting a straw in her mouth, Stefanie took two sips of milk from the glass and then took a hand to search whether the secret recipe mentioned by some fans was reliable.

Feeling that there were a few feasible ones, Stefanie hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and wrote them down one by one.

Hmm... It's not that I want to try it, it's mainly that college students' pursuit of rigorous scientific exploration has struck.

She, Stefanie Sun, is one of the few serious top students in the entertainment industry——

"Ring ring ring!"

"Hello?"

"Stefanie, the evening dress for A Yi's celebration party tomorrow is ready. Come and try it on?"

"Okay, come right away."

After receiving the call from Chen Zeshan, Stefanie Sun wrapped herself into a big rice dumpling after clearing the crime scene and drove straight to the Warner Building in the company car.

In the parking lot downstairs of the company, before getting off the bus, Stefanie Sun also noticed a middle-aged man outside who was also escorted by bodyguards - he looked handsome, but he also had a nose and eyes.

"Is that a celebrity from mainland China?"

Stefanie Sun, who had no knowledge of domestic entertainment history, was afraid that she would not know how to greet this person when she met him in the company, so she hurriedly asked her assistant.

The assistant glanced at it and said in a tactful tone: "Well, that person is not a celebrity, he is the founder of Sohu..."

Sohu?

Um? ! Sohu? !

Stefanie Sun's eyes suddenly widened.

As a young internet surfer, she was very familiar with this name.

"This is here..."

………………

"I'm here to discuss signing a contract with you, Ayi."

In Qian Jiang's office, after handing a negotiated contract to Zhou Yi, Qian Jiang said cheerfully: "Jianhui is probably chatting with him now. It can be said that you are killing everyone in the United States this time." It greatly increases its own commercial value.

"This group of people who play Internet companies are better than anyone else. When they saw your enthusiasm, they doubled the price they were still asking for."

Sina had 27 million in three years, Sohu had 40 million in three years, and NetEase directly withdrew from the competition.

This is simply choosing Sohu with your eyes closed.

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise after seeing the contract. If this Sohu contract is signed, it will be the highest endorsement contract he has signed so far.

"I have to say that Zhang Chaoyang is really willing to give up. Isn't it said that Internet companies are going through a cold winter?"

This was the first time that Qian Jiang came into contact with the way Internet companies spend money.

If you are really crazy, just smash it hard.

"It's a cold winter, but Sohu still has some money. In addition, Zhang Chaoyang has played on the Internet there, and he is very aware of the results and popularity I have caused there."

Bachelor's degree in Physics from Tsinghua University, Ph.D. from MIT, one of the first generation Internet tycoons in China, a true genius.

After taking a look at the contract, Zhou Yi chuckled, closed it and joked: "Besides, it's investors' money that's spent anyway."

It can only be said that Zhang Chaoyang, who has not yet been dazzled by success, acted very decisively. He directly stuck to Sina's financial red line and offered a price that Zhou Yi could not refuse.

I can only say that he really gives money to Internet companies...

"Including the Internet broadcast rights for this celebration, in the next three years, not only the exclusive interviews, but the exclusive Internet broadcast rights for all news related to your trip will be given to Sohu, including abroad.

"I think it is precisely because of this that Sohu paid this price."

Feeling that it was the first time in his life to see such a big contract, Qian Jiang was amazed: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Do you have any ideas for Coca-Cola's World Cup advertising song?

"With your popularity in the U.S. market, Coca-Cola can't sit still. If possible, they suggest that you should create an English song while composing a Chinese song, because English songs have a worldwide audience. Wider.”

After witnessing Zhou Yi's achievements in the United States, the wealthy Coca-Cola directly asked about English songs.

"no problem."

Zhou Yi shrugged: "I can do it after the new year."

"Wavin Flag" is Coca-Cola's classic advertising song for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It is so classic that many people will mistake this song for the theme song of the World Cup.

The classic reggae style contained in this song is exactly the same as what he played in "The Lazy Song", except that the instruments such as African drums in the arrangement need to be replaced with Chinese instruments, which is not a big problem.

It’s easy to find a few drums.

It just so happens that there is an official Chinese version of this song called "Victory", so we can make it a bilingual version in both Chinese and English.

"OK."

Zhou Yi, who had finalized the time with Qian Jiang in just a few words, formally met twenty minutes later with the godfather of the domestic Internet who once overwhelmed all the big ponies, the best singer of the song "Dear That's Not Love", and a lifetime physicist. Enthusiast - Zhang Chaoyang.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to come here in person."

"Sincerity comes first."

Zhang Chaoyang, who was well aware of how difficult it is for the Chinese to open up the market in the United States, smiled and said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate, Zhou Yi. I heard that you are also very interested in investment, and you have an investment company. Maybe we can sit down together in the future." Come down and talk about something else.”

The Internet is in the cold winter. If he doesn't think of ways to increase traffic and use the traffic to talk about advertising, the company will really be in trouble. The stock price of NetEase next door is breaking its lowest record in history every day, which is a lesson to him.

In Chen Hao's trading, as the cash flow increased with Zhou Yi, the cash cow, Guiyi Company, even if it hid its methods and invested in batches, still could not hide it from top bosses like Zhang Chaoyang. .

There is no reaction from NetEase for the time being. After all, Ding Lei is still busy fighting with the board of directors.

"It's just a small matter, give it a try."

Zhou Yi responded with a smile.

Although it may sound strange that he currently holds shares in NetEase through various means as the spokesperson of Sohu, but investing is normal.

Moreover, Zhang Chaoyang obviously wanted to bring him in, and his sincerity was beyond words.

At a time when all Internet companies are in collective decline, Zhouyi, a walking traffic outlet, is undoubtedly a little blue pill that can boost confidence for them.

Zhang Chaoyang even keenly sensed that all Zhou Yi's promotional tactics since his debut had a slight sense of familiarity.

Soon, on January 24, the fourth day after Zhou Yi returned to China, Sohu, which had taken the promotional photos, joined forces with Warner to officially announce that Zhou Yi would officially become the spokesperson——

The two parties signed a three-year contract with a contract amount of 40 million yuan!

As soon as the news came out, the domestic entertainment industry, which had never seen such a high endorsement contract, was shocked and numb!

Grass!

Zhou Yi’s endorsement fees have risen too fast this year!

At a time when Mainland celebrities are generally paid tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands for a film, and contracts worth millions are regarded as sky-high endorsement deals, Zhou Yi was able to get away with a salary of 40 million, which really opened the eyes of domestic entertainment people.

Even Hong Kong media who have seen many sky-high endorsement contracts are surprised by this figure.

Some are jealous, some are jealous, and some are bitter, but no one dares to push.

I just came back from the United States and made a lot of money, and I want to distribute it globally soon. Not to mention anything else, just from this single, Zhou Yi conservatively estimates that the final revenue in the European and American markets will be millions of dollars after the accounts are divided, not to mention that there will be a steady stream of various copyright profits in the future.

He deserves to earn such a big contract!

If you don't accept it and you're jealous, go to the United States and try your luck!

As for domestic Internet companies, Sohu's large-scale investment in Zhouyi itself is sending a signal to them: Zhouyi is very strong.

"You alone make more than my investment company. Isn't it a bit outrageous?"

Chen Haojia, Chen Haoliang, whose concept is obviously still in the era of millions of endorsements, also stared straight.

"Don't worry, I am optimistic about the Internet. The Internet trend has not yet arrived."

Zhou Yi, who came back to talk to her, smiled and said: "Now that Zhang Chaoyang is the endorser, it is not that troublesome to enter the Internet company investment circle."

After all, buying and selling shares in the market and trading shares after entering the circle are completely different concepts.

"Oh, by the way, are you coming to the celebration party tomorrow?"

"I won't go. What did I, an unknown little actor, do in the past? I might as well read a book at home."

Chen Hao, who received the invitation, shook his head and refused: "You have fun."

She could only see one acquaintance, Liu Ruoying, there.

Others want to participate because they have the chance to get familiar with Zhou Yi. She just wants to see Zhou Yi every day, even invest together, and their families are on the same floor of the community, and they are familiar with each other.

At the same time, Zhou Jianhui, who had finished arranging the celebration party, looked at the plan on his desk and fell into deep thought——

How did Zhou Yi abduct Jiang Wen?

Also, does Jiang Wen really want to make a movie? Aren't you banned? The MV director is also a director, right?

With the idea of ​​​​preparing to ask Jiang Wen in person tomorrow, Zhou Jianhui rubbed his eyebrows.

The next day, the hotel that Warner had arranged in advance was splendid - a celebration party, which felt like an awards ceremony held by Warner, with stars shining brightly.

Even Jackie Chan, who recently broke into Hollywood's $20 million club with "Rush Hour 2", was personally present to congratulate Zhou Yi;

As for the Emperor, although Xie Tingfeng and Zhou Yi are not very popular in public opinion, Yang Shoucheng personally brought Joey Yung and Twins to congratulate Zhou Yi.

It can be said that all the major record companies have all the best talents. Not to mention the older generation of songwriters such as Li Zongsheng and Luo Dayou who have not appeared for a long time, the new generation of Taiwanese singers are basically all available, even those who are known as the gods of singing. The successor, Hong Kong prince Cheng Zhongji, also attended the celebration party with his father.

"Leehom Wang, Jie Lun, SHE, Penny Dai, Elva, Angela..."

Stefanie Sun, who was wearing a decent dress today, looked at the familiar singers who appeared in front of the media lens, standing next to Zhou Yi, baring her big teeth and waving to them constantly: "Here, here!"

"You're quite a dick, Zhou Yi."

Jay Chou, who still had a haggard look on his face, smiled and punched Zhou Yi in the chest: "Congratulations."

ps: I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have said the days of the third update and the first update were reversed...

Sure enough, working overtime has made your brain so dizzy? ()
