China Entertainment 2000

"Then may I ask, Miss Fan Bingbin, why are you here? Are you together now?"

Noticing Fan Bingbin, who was holding a plastic bag in her hand and dressed in a beautiful short skirt, the reporter, knowing that Zhou Yi could not make any shocking remarks, turned his attention to her.

"What? Of course not, I was just invited to help Zhou Yi shoot a MV."

Fan Bingbin, who was facing the camera, showed off her face in front of the camera with a beautiful look: "Zhou Yi is filming the MV for a new English album. There is a shortage of people, so of course I have to help him."

"Now that Zhou Yi has started shooting the MV for the English album, how is the progress of the Chinese album?"

As Warner (China)'s highlight in the second half of this year, the news of Zhou Yi's two albums has long been rumored.

The English album is okay. Two singles have been released so far. In addition, there are not many people in China who understand English specialties, so the news discussion is not as high as Zhou Yi's Chinese special "Lianshan".

Especially when there were rumors of internal strife among Zhou Yi's "Lian Shan" album MV crew, the public is even more curious about the reason why "Lian Shan" has been in preparation for so long.

Is Zhou Yi holding something back? Or is he distracted by the English album and unable to do anything else? Or maybe the crew really fell apart and are regrouping?

"The arrangement of Chinese songs has also been completed."

"Excuse me……"

After dealing with the reporters, and with the intervention of the crew, Zhou Yi stopped talking with them and returned to Yehai Bar.

The proprietress Zhuo Xiaoyan was also caught as a prostitute and got addicted to being an actress in a bar.

"Big star, how long can you keep me here? I still have to open my business."

Seeing Zhou Yi come back, Zhuo Xiaoyan threw the account book in Zhou Yi's hand, leaned on the bar with one hand on her hip, and said jokingly: "Look at my account book for yourself, how much I have lost."

"Is this money still enough for me?"

Zhou Yi, who didn't even look at the account book, chuckled: "Write a check to you? Do you fill in the numbers yourself?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are indeed a big star. He has a strong backbone and strong words."

Zhuo Xiaoyan's eyes turned to Fan Bingbin next to Zhou Yi, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Fan Bingbin, who noticed her expression, didn't know where this woman came from, but he still greeted her politely: "Sister Xiaoyan."

Another beautiful girl falling into the whirlpool.

She is also a star and a celebrity. As a result, she was very happy because she played the heroine of "Baby", which has the most female roles in Zhou Yiying's career.

Fan Bingbin naturally didn't know what Zhuo Xiaoyan was thinking. Anyway, she was very happy that Zhou Yi came to her to shoot the MV.

Since riding the wave of the World Cup and becoming a global hit, Zhou Yi's new music video has been in constant demand, with a lot of models and starlets trying to get it.

Even though Zhou Yi has repeatedly emphasized that there is not much plot content in his Yingzhuan MV this time, the highlight is that it is a modeling show that relies on looks and figure, and it is still him who is the main body, and there are not many other people in the scenes.

"Okay, let's call it a day, thank you everyone for your hard work."

On the evening of June 18, after the filming of the nightclub-style MV "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" featuring Zhou Yi was completed, Fan Bingbin, who had not received any new roles yet, took him back to his little nest in the imperial capital. Invited him to dinner and watched the World Cup together——

"How is Sister Chen's father doing?"

"It's not bad. The doctor said he's recovering well and will probably be able to be transferred next month. I just asked her in the morning. She was still taking care of his father in the hospital today. She said her complexion has improved a lot."

When Chen Hao went to the ward and Stefanie Sun was grabbed by Chen Zeshan and went out to participate in activities, Zhou Yi, who is currently filming the MV alone, the greatest joy is to come to Fan Bingbin to tease her.

Fan Bingbin also teased him by changing his jerseys - especially Costa Rica jerseys, Turkey jerseys and Brazil jerseys.

Fan Bingbin, who had changed into an Italian jersey tonight, didn't even watch the game at first, but the Korean team's black whistle shocked her, who didn't understand football, to the point where she even cursed -

"Damn it, this guy named Maldini was shot in the head, and the Korean team can do this?!"

Although she couldn't see the ball, at least she wasn't blind.

Zhou Yi, who was also watching the scandal in front of the TV, clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Although I have long heard that the Korean team's black whistle was too outrageous, looking at the actual broadcast situation, it was a bit overwhelming.

To say it tarnishes football is to insult the word "tarnish".

Facts have proved that South Korea, which has long been suspected of being a black whistle, completely tore off its pretense against Italy, shocking the whole world.

"They won't use black whistles all the way to win the championship, right?"

Fan Bingbin, who doesn't know much about football, was a bit incredulous: "Then if I buy them to win, wouldn't it be a sure win?"

"...If the black whistle had not been stopped, it would have been possible."

Zhou Yi, who was chewing the meatballs, smiled and said: "If you want to have a try, you can give it a try. Maybe you will get an upset through the black whistle in the next game."

"..."

It seems reasonable?

Fan Bingbin thought for a moment and decided to observe the wind direction for two days to see what official World Cup announcement would be.

On the morning of June 19, after using black whistle tactics to eliminate Italy, Japan, which co-hosted this World Cup with South Korea, couldn't stand it anymore and began to give the South Korean team eye drops in the news.

Prior to this, although they were dissatisfied with the Korean team's suspected black whistle behavior, they had always remained silent to the outside world.

But this time, I really can’t be a coward.

Damn it, I play football seriously and don’t act like a monster even after being eliminated. I show my host style. What do you want to do, little Han? !

Do you fucking want to ruin the reputation of Asian football? !

The Japanese and South Korean Football Associations, who were already at odds with each other, now broke up with each other, but FIFA remained unmoved. Now it was Zhou Jianhui's turn to go crazy.

Having started helping Zhou Yi with public relations very early, he never expected that there would be such an exciting black whistle waiting for him, so he directly used the method of combining vertical and horizontal lines to hook up with the Japanese Football Association.

At the same time, Warner and Coca-Cola simultaneously exerted their efforts in public opinion channels, pushing the Korean team directly to the cliff of public opinion.

FIFA President Blatter has been shaken by Warner's public relations.

On June 22, with the attention of fans and even politicians around the world, the audacious South Korean team relied on a black whistle to defeat the Spanish team again, completely pushing FIFA, UEFA, and AFC all against themselves.

It also gave Zhou Jianhui the opportunity to send Zhou Yi to the closing ceremony in one fell swoop——

Among them, Chinese officials, who have benefited from the promotion of the World Cup, have also made great efforts, asking AFC Vice Chairman Zhang Jilong to come forward to help lobby and put pressure.

"The key now is to get Japan to relent. As long as they relent, it will not be a fantasy for you to perform at the closing ceremony in front of fans around the world."

Zhou Jianhui, who has been running this project these days, sounded very excited: "I have already arranged for other sponsors in Japan, but now Sony has a request. If you succeed in the end, then they want to have a sponsor with you in the future. Your opportunity to collaborate.”

"Opportunities for cooperation? Sony?"

"I guess they saw that you were making too much money this time, and they were jealous. Plus, you're famous for being less cooperative, so they wanted to make a reservation in advance."

Zhou Jianhui gave Zhou Yi some reassurance: "Do you know how much economic benefit your song created, indirectly or directly, in May and June?

"People from Warner's marketing department have estimated that it's at least 100 million, which is US dollars!"

The single sales generated for Warner Records alone exceeded 30 million U.S. dollars. This does not include licensing fees from various channels. The two combined together amount to more than 37 million U.S. dollars.

Not to mention that the market benefits this song brought to Coca-Cola were also explosive. It directly surpassed its old enemy Pepsi-Cola during the hottest period of this summer. This incident alone saved Coca-Cola at least 20 to 30 million in marketing hedging. cost.

In terms of word-of-mouth, Coca-Cola's ability to attract money has increased significantly this summer. The economic benefits in this market have simply made Coca-Cola smile from ear to ear.

At the same time, it also led to the continuous increase in Zhou Yi's peripheral sales and the rebound in sales of old albums...

The tourism industry in Chinese cities has even been affected by Zhou Yi's MV.

Coca-Cola headquarters was no longer reserved this time, and took the initiative to contact Qian Jiang, saying that Zhou Yi could be upgraded to a global spokesperson, with a contract of US$16 million a year, and a three-year contract could be negotiated.

"Don't worry Ayi, I will help you raise the price now. You are now in the limelight. Start with Coca-Cola from 23 million US dollars, and the bottom line is 18 million US dollars a year."

Fearing that Zhou Yi would be seduced by Coca-Cola, Qian Jiang immediately called him: "Your English album is now being recorded and shipped, just in time to take over the popularity of your performance at the World Cup closing ceremony.

“As long as the album sells well by then, I don’t think it will be a problem to enter the $20 million club.

"If they're not willing to give it, then Pepsi is definitely willing to give it."

Being able to poach a popular singer from an opponent is a blow to Coca-Cola's brand image.

Of course, how to talk about it without offending Coca-Cola depends on the ability of Qian Jiang, the agent.

After working together for so long, Zhou Yi is still very confident in his abilities.

On June 25, news with words such as "Zhouyi created 100 million US dollars in benefits" and "Zhouyi effect" appeared both internationally and domestically.

Accompanying this news are two official announcements from FIFA——

One is to change the referees of the German and South Korean teams;

The second is to announce that Chinese singer Zhou Yi will be a guest performer at the closing ceremony of this World Cup and will sing live in front of a global audience.

As soon as these three pieces of news came out, the country instantly exploded!

"What the hell, the closing ceremony of the World Cup?! Zhouyi's reputation! That's the ratings of the global audience. Zhouyi's reputation has been greatly enhanced this time."

"Is this equivalent to the Spring Festival Gala? Or is it the Spring Festival Gala that most people around the world will watch?"

"It's a pity that the national football team didn't reach the final, alas. Otherwise, it would be great if Zhou Yi sang and the national football team played in the final and won the cup."

At first, there were still people paying attention to the World Cup, but when the news of the subsequent 100 million broke out, the news discussing Zhouyi instantly surged——

"Damn it, wait a minute, Zhou Yi made 100 million US dollars in two months?! I only made 450 yuan a month!"

"It's an exaggeration. It's just a lot of indirect income. That's not money Zhou Yi can get. He himself can probably get a share of the single sales and copyright licensing. The total of the miscellaneous things is estimated to be more than 10 million US dollars? "

"That's it? After conversion and rounding, wouldn't it be almost 100 million yuan?! He was also making US dollars before, right?"

"My annual income is over 100 million at the age of 21?! I'm still picking up girls in college at the age of 21, fuck!"
