China Entertainment 2000

"That is to say, is there a possibility that I am the producer of this album?"

Facing the undisguised smile on Jiang Wen's face, Zhou Yi put down his teacup and shrugged, raised his eyes to look at him, and joked with a smile.

Different from movies where the director makes the decision, although the MV is nicknamed "music movie", in the final analysis, the theme expression of the MV still depends on the album producer's intention.

If movies are the art of directors, then music videos are actually the art of singers and producers. In name, the director is just a tool responsible for helping with painting.

This is why many singers also serve as MV directors themselves, because they want to express the feelings contained in the songs themselves.

"Then it won't be interesting if you talk like that."

Jiang Wen, who didn't take it seriously, raised his hand to pour him tea again, shook the watch on his wrist, and pointed his right thumb at himself: "Brother, you also know my character. If you want to do it, then you have to do it." Strive for excellence.

"Otherwise if word gets out, outsiders will still laugh at me, Jiang Wen, why I ended up like this after not seeing each other for several months. Unless you say you won't let me direct and only let me act, then I have nothing to say."

"Hey, Brother Jiang, if you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten who the director the company found for me is."

Zhou Yi, who didn't like this, rubbed his chin with one hand, raised his head slightly and pretended to think deeply: "If I remember correctly, his name seems to be Ning Hao?"

"..."

Jiang Wen smiled silently, lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "Boss Zhou, this is your hard work, can you just bear to have it ruined because of some flaws in the details?

"You don't want to wait until later to regret it. You feel that these four MVs that should have been perfect have become imperfect because of some details that can be improved, right?"

Seeing that Zhou Yi was starting to act cunning, Jiang Wen immediately began to give earnest advice——

In a sentence: Dear Zhou Yi, you don’t want your MV to be “famous through the ages” because of poor acting skills that others can see at a glance, right?

"You are an international superstar now, and an international superstar should look like an international superstar. Otherwise, if word spreads, how will others see you, right?"

Jiang Wen has always mastered the behavior of putting high hats on others. He opened his mouth without repeating a word: "Do you know what my foreign friends say when they talk to me about you now?

"They are all saying that you are awesome, so damn awesome. An English song sung by a Chinese can be so popular in the Western world, you are the one."

Jiang Wen gave a thumbs up.

In order to get Zhou Yi to accept his training in front of the camera, he really took great pains, throwing high hats at Zhou Yi's head like no money.

In his own words - he changed four fucking MV scripts more than 20 times, and they are all the same as me changing movie scripts. This is why Zhou Yi should be rubbed hard during filming to let him experience the so-called The pursuit of excellence?

He, Jiang Wen, has never suffered so much torture since he became famous!

"Praise more, I like to hear it."

Zhou Yi, who was smiling, said noncommittally: "Has the specific shooting date been set?"

"Starting from August 15th, your confidante will come back from the United States on the 13th, just in time."

As a powerful director, Jiang Wen set the date without any sense of violation: "But, won't your concert be delayed?"

"Brother Jiang, you may not know the domestic concert market very well. My concert will take at least a year, so there can be no delay."

Zhou Yi waved his hand nonchalantly: "One city in one and a half months, eight cities in more than a year is not bad. The free time in between can also be convenient for me to do other work. When the album is released, I can also Holding a concert while promoting the new album.”

He is currently holding a concert in the Mainland. Not to mention the venue application and security issues, the money in the fans' pockets is also a serious issue that needs to be considered. This issue is even the top priority.

Although it seems that he no longer has to cooperate with phone operators to sell cards and deliver tickets, after all, he still has a large number of young fans in his base, and it is really difficult for him to spend hundreds, thousands or even thousands of dollars continuously to support Concert tickets.

The scene in the Imperial Capital has its own gimmick bonus, plus the city is indeed developed and there are many children from rich families. In the future, at most three games in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou will have this situation happen in the Imperial City.

Unlike Brother Wuying.

The reason why Jacky Cheung was brave enough to hold a world tour this year, which included 45 concerts, was because his fans had grown up, and at least he was making money in his pocket.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing. Brother, are you familiar with that Fan Bingbin? I have a director of a movie here who wants to ask her if she has any schedule."

After confirming the filming start date and finalizing the characters, Jiang Wen started chatting: "The movie is called "Green Tea", and the director originally planned to use Xiao Yanzi. But recently, Fan Bingbin is said to be a hit thanks to your "Baby" I went abroad to have my face painted, so I decided to ask her about her schedule."

With that said, Jiang Wen handed Zhou Yi a business card: "If Fan Bingbin is interested, you can come and audition. I am the male lead in this drama. It is the first urban movie I starred in after being banned from directing. , is a literary film.”

"Art films?"

Thirty minutes later, Fan Bingbin’s house in the Imperial Capital.

The woman who was taking off her makeup received a call from Zhou Yi, and her originally leisurely tone suddenly became a little formal: "I'll go, I can give it a try."

Fan Bingbin, who has no tendency to become a black man after the emergence of Zhou Yi, still retains a sacred yearning for literary and artistic films. He always feels that his career is missing something if he does not make literary and artistic films.

Of course, for her, what's even more exciting is that this role is competing with Xiao Yanzi.

Thinking back then, Xiao Yanzi was born out of nowhere and almost overwhelmed her and Lin Xinru. Now after experiencing a series of turmoil, she, the "maid" back then, has to stand up and sit at the same table with Xiao Yanzi. , how could this not make Fan Bingbin feel proud.

After learning the news, Xiao Yanzi was so angry that she almost dropped her phone.

"Why?! Does she have the acting skills to support a literary film? Didn't she just rely on Zhou Yi's shitty luck to show her face internationally?"

Xiao Yanzi, whose popularity plummeted due to the turmoil at the end of last year, was very dissatisfied and gritted his teeth angrily: "What a fucking bad luck."

"Not only the film "Green Tea", but also "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", "Jade Goddess of Mercy" and Wong Kar-Wai's "2046", her agent is also helping her fight for it."

"..."

The sister-in-law's words immediately silenced Xiao Yanzi.

There is no other reason than that these four films are all her films in competition.

You've gone too far, Jinsuo, a maid like you actually dares to bite the master!

"Do we have a good chance of winning?"

After a long silence, Xiao Yanzi struggled to spit out these words: "My contract with Qiong Yao still has nearly half a year. If they really don't want me to leave, they will try their best, right? Qiong Yao's influence should still be there Bar?"

"Honestly, there's not much hope."

The sister-in-law who has been helping Xiao Yanzi deal with various incidents sighed: "Your popularity plummeted because of the scandal, but Fan Bingbin's popularity soared with Zhou Yi. She is more positive in terms of fame, image, and acting skills.

"The most important thing is that Qiong Yao's influence in mainland China and Hong Kong has declined significantly since she didn't dare to tear up Zhou Yi. This is what I think. You must not renew your contract with Qiong Yao when the contract expires at the end of the year."

"..."

Faced with her sister-in-law's sincere advice, Xiao Yanzi, who had been hesitating in her heart, finally decided to leave Qiong Yao Company completely: "Sister-in-law, please try for me, can you invite me to sing with Zhou Yi?"

As an actor who has a lot of experience in film, television and singing, Zhao Wei has actually been releasing albums from Qiong Yao's Keren Records to the current Aihui Records, but his sales have always been tepid.

Considering Zhou Yi's ability to turn stone into gold, it was hard for her not to be jealous.

Fan Bingbin's reputation has skyrocketed, and many people in the "Baby" music video circle are jealous.

"I'll try my best, but judging from the situation, apart from the fact that brands spend money to ask him to write advertising songs, Zhou Yi usually only writes songs for people he has good relationships with. How about you try to get to know him in the future?"

Zhou Yi has been out for so long, and the rules of song writing can basically be seen.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yi's net worth has soared now, and it may be hard for him to appreciate the small amount of money he earns simply by writing songs.

……………………

"If you don't like it, then just follow Coca-Cola's example and directly give Zhou Yi a contract to endorse QQ, and then ask him to write an advertising song for QQ."

Shenzhen, a Penguin headquarters.

Xiao Ma, who was also jealous of Zhou Yi's huge traffic, waved his hand domineeringly: "There are still some of our competitors on the market, and QQ's reputation has not been fully promoted. Zhou Yi's popularity is exactly what we need."

What Sohu signed was not an instant messaging software contract, so it was up to him to fill this gap.

Isn't it just money? The most important thing he lacks now after financing is money. Every day he is trying to find ways to use various methods to promote the number of QQ users.

If Zhou Yi's current popularity as an international superstar is not exploited, it would be a shame for Internet companies.

And someone who has the same sense of smell as Xiao Ma is Ding Lei, who regained power after NetEase fought off its former CEO——

Under the tragic situation that the stock price was on the verge of delisting, after making a desperate move to buy the game "Westward Journey Online 2", Ding Lei directly set his sights on a game that was also very popular in China and had not yet signed any portals or game endorsements. Elva Hsiao.

“First of all: Elva Hsiao is very popular and can be said to be the young female singer second only to Stefanie Sun in the Mainland;

"Secondly: She has a close relationship with Zhou Yi. We can follow Sina's approach of signing Stefanie Sun and sign Elva Hsiao, so that we can also enjoy Zhou Yi's traffic benefits.

"Finally, she is not as expensive as Zhou Yi."

At an internal NetEase meeting, Ding Lei emphasized his opinions.

With NetEase's current wealth, let alone asking Zhou Yi to be an endorser, Zhou Yi might be able to fully acquire NetEase if he only works for two more years. Spending hundreds of millions of yuan to sign Elva Hsiao, who is equally popular, can be said to be the first choice for cost-effectiveness.

"Tencent, which has a lot of money, directly offered 45 million in five-year endorsement fees, and they want you to write an advertising song for the company's product QQ, just like you wrote for Coca-Cola."

Warner.

After receiving the message from Tencent, Qian Jiang forwarded the message to Zhou Yi, who was communicating with Elva Hsiao on the phone. The latter's expression suddenly became a little weird——

Grass!

Are all the groups behind the four major portals now together?
