China Entertainment 2000

Zhang Jie left happily, following Xie Na.

Qian Jiang's eyes moved slightly, but seeing that there were so many people around him, he didn't ask. After Zhou Yi returned to the hotel room after the recording, he closed the door and asked curiously: "Is what you just said true or false?"

"What's real or fake?"

Zhou Yi, who had no image at all, lay comfortably on the sofa and twisted his body. After hearing this, he couldn't help but look up at him strangely.

"Those words you said to that Zhang Jie."

"Absolutely. His voice does sound pretty good, but without systematic study, I don't know how good his singing skills are."

Zhou Yi's pragmatic statement made Qian Jiang's eyes suddenly light up——

It doesn't matter if you don't have systematic learning. What Warner is most indispensable for is singer training.

"What? You want to sign him?" Zhou Yi's eyes then fell on the coffee table, and he took a winter jujube that had been washed and placed on the coffee table before he came back, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it without raising his head.

"Why did I sign him? You are the only one responsible for it."

Qian Jiang shook his head, and after confirming that the door was closed, he said with a serious expression: "Internal news, Song Ke has confirmed that he is leaving, and all other male singers in the company except you and Wang Feng Everyone is willing to go with him."

Zhou Yi chewed for a moment: "...Is it decided?"

"Yes, I can't get him back anymore, so Zhou Jianhui usually asks me to pay more attention to some new talents. He himself is even thinking about whether to cooperate with multiple channels in the mainland to organize singing competitions to screen new stars."

Such a big earthquake for the company's artists will undoubtedly be a bad thing on Zhou Jianhui's year-end performance report.

Zhou Yiqiang is strong, but it is impossible for one person to absorb all of Warner's resources. This is a serious waste and is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty for him, the president of Asia and Greater China.

"Zhou Jianhui means that even if there is one more Wang Feng, the resources will be overflow, so he has always wanted to find some singers who can replace Song Ke to fill the gap.

"Do you still remember the Hu Yanbing you said you admired last time? Zhou Jianhui has already sent someone to inspect it. If there are no problems after the inspection, he will start digging directly. He trusts your vision."

"He is quite capable of action, and he is worthy of being a president."

Zhou Yi, who spit out the core, chuckled, but didn't comment too much.

Now Zhou Jianhui still thinks that Wang Feng will not leave, but when the contract expires in 2005, this man will start his own business directly, and the person who helps him to start his own business is Xu Xiaofeng, the current president of Warner China, which makes him dumbfounded.

Then came the last straw that broke the camel's back: Sun Yanzi's new album "Perfect Day", which was played by Zhou Jianhui, failed in sales and was completely kicked out.

But this cannot be entirely blamed on Zhou Jianhui.

Who would have thought that such a small company as Warner Music (China) could directly split into mainland president Xu Xiaofeng’s line, music director Song Ke’s line, Zhou Jianhui’s line, and secretly Chen Zeshan’s line from 2000 to 2004——

Xu Xiaofeng left his job to start his own business, taking a group of people with him to found Chuangmeng Music; Song Ke left his job to start his own company, taking a group of people with him not to mention, and also brought in Li Zongsheng and Zhang Yadong to establish Taihe Wheatfield.

Chen Zeshan secretly flirted with Universal and EMI. At the same time, he was jumping around within Warner, secretly backstabbing from time to time.

The angry Zhou Jianhui didn't recover for a long time after being eliminated from Warner Bros., and almost cursed Niang Xipi. After that, except for a brief period in 2006 when he helped serve as CEO of Yashen Music for a year, he was exhausted and did not set foot in the record industry for ten years.

It was not until 2016 that he came back to work at the warm invitation of Sony Music, and in early 2017 he was appointed President of Sony Greater China. This time, Zhou Jianhui, who absorbed the experience of the struggle ten years ago, directly triggered a major shake-up of senior executives in Sony China.

It can only be said that Warner is worthy of it. He is really full of talents in internal fighting. No matter who comes in, he can automatically evolve the internal fighting skill tree. He has one hundred and eight tricks in his body, and he is a top palace fighter.

"If he, the CEO, hadn't had the support of you and Yanzi, his position would not be very secure."

Qian Jiang, who obviously knew the details of Warner's infighting, laughed and joked.

However, there was one thing he didn't say.

Sun Yanzi's contract with Warner will expire next year, that is, in 2003.

So far, although the team led by Sun Yanzi and his father have still stated that they will renew their contract with Warner, Sun Yanzi's own proposal to form a company MAKE MUSIC inevitably made Zhou Jianhui a little uneasy -

He does not exclude his stars from forming their own companies or studios to renew their contracts and cooperate with the company. After all, superstar contracts can never be the same as the ladder contracts that are supplemented during the rookie period or after the newcomer becomes popular.

But I was afraid that my relationship with Sun Yanzi would break down.

Especially when contract negotiations have not yet started with Zhou Yi himself.

Zhou Yi entrusted his contract negotiations to Gui Yi. But Cheng Hao, the current helmsman of Guiyi, flew back to the United States to see his parents just after filming the MV. Zhou Jianhui couldn't let Cheng Hao leave his parents alone, right?

Although everyone can see that this is Zhou Yi himself hiding behind the scenes and waiting for a price, Cheng Hao's father's illness just gave him an excellent excuse to delay.

What Zhou Jianhui can do now is to push Sun Yanzi to renew his contract, and at the same time continue to strive for more from the headquarters to give Zhou Yi more money, so that he can feel the sincerity to the greatest extent.

What's more, putting aside the emotional factors of many years of cooperation, when it comes to business, Zhou Jianhui, who knows the basics, is the person who can best let Zhou Yi do whatever he wants.

"That's true. I am the Dinghai Shenzhen now."

Zhou Yi, who was chewing the pulp, did not deny or avoid it. His direct answer made Qian Jiang's eyes light up——

On this issue, what Zhou Yihui said means that he currently has no intention of changing jobs to other companies.

"Next, you still need to travel to these cities, and you also need to travel to Hong Kong..."

Qian Jiang calmed down his mood and immediately put aside the doubts in his heart, and began to reiterate the next propaganda route for Zhou Yi.

However, what he, the entire Warner team, and even Zhou Yi himself did not expect was——

On the afternoon of Sunday, October 13, Gai Dagen, the former founder of Maitian Music and a graduate of Tsinghua University, publicly attacked Zhou Yi at an event!

"I have relatives at home who are fans of Zhou Yi. Last night they said there was a variety show of his. I happened to be very curious about this junior, so I took a look. I can't comment on Zhou Yi's talent, but I think He may have some misunderstandings about foreign countries."

Xiao Da, who was fanning like a cultural figure, sat tightly on a mahogany chair and was interviewed by a magazine reporter. He smiled calmly: "He said on the show that the inspiration for his first four songs came from what he saw and heard abroad. This is not nonsense. What?

"I don't think young people need to be so exaggerated in order to build an image. In "In the Name of the Father" there is an obvious Italian mafia style. He has never been to Italy, right?

"Besides, the places where he has spent most of his time are the United Kingdom and the United States. These two countries, especially the United States, are not as messy as he said. As for family education, he doesn't even know what family education is like in the United Kingdom and the United States. Know.

"He does have strength and I don't deny his talent, but he has too many problems as a human being. Lying out of his mouth is not a good habit."

In a brief interview lasting nearly ten minutes, Gao Dajin, who avoided talking about other things, openly snarled Zhou Yi, who was considered his junior in the mainland music scene: "If this spreads out and foreigners know about it, foreigners will see it." :Hey, why is a student from one of the highest universities in China slandering us so much..."

A long and eloquent article that seems reasonable and well-founded.

Especially in this era, Gaodagen's status in the mainland music scene is not low.

If it weren't for Zhou Yi himself who made a name for himself in Europe and the United States, then this evaluation of being short and tight could basically be said to be a one-sided situation.

"Your fucking dick is short, big and tight! What the hell does he want to do?!"

Qian Jiang, who was originally preparing for Zhou Yi to go to Hong Kong to promote, immediately cursed.

In the office of Warner President, Zhou Jianhui looked at the report that suddenly broke out, and his eyes darkened for a moment. After pushing up his glasses, he picked up the landline on his desk and made a call——

"Call Song Ke over. I'll see him if I have something to do."

Song Ke, like Ai Dagen, was one of the founders of Wheatfield Music in the past.

After Warner acquired Wheatfield Music, Song Ke became the music director, while Gao Dajin cashed out and left. But if we count it as a faction, Xiao Dakong is with Song Ke.
