China Entertainment 2000

On January 1, 2000, a city morning newspaper was born in Tianjin called "Daily News".

This newspaper was established on New Year's Day to bring good luck. When most morning newspapers in the Mainland were still focusing on various cultural and serious news, in order to catch up with the trend in Hong Kong, an entertainment news department was also established to "coincide".

A young man named Han Binjiang saw an opportunity and quickly joined the newspaper, becoming an entertainment reporter as he wished.

He originally thought that he could flex his muscles here and live in the rich entertainment industry in another way, but he didn't expect that the so-called "entertainment news" here was somewhat different from the news he expected.

The immediate boss wants performance, but lacks experience and has no way to start. He simply gives orders to his subordinates to bring them down. If they can't achieve the results anyway, they will get a smaller salary.

Since he has always been in charge of entertainment news in the film sector, Han Binjiang has set his sights on the female stars who are currently booming in China——

Zhang Ziyi from the Chinese Drama Star Class.

Unfortunately he miscalculated.

During this period, Zhang Ziyi was not able to give him any news to write about that would make her famous, although she was always close to the people in Xiangjiang.

Feeling deeply that his abilities were insufficient, he simply began a life of running back and forth in Hong Kong.

His natural keen sense of smell told him that Zhang Ziyi, who could be related to the Xiangjiang gang, must have something good about him.

On June 20, 2000, while he was in Hong Kong, after eating a bowl of barbecued pork rice, he spent money to buy a copy of the latest issue of "Next Weekly", a senior figure in the industry.

Since he hadn't discovered anything in the past few weeks, he was ready to see what news these hard-working seniors had come up with that could help him increase his royalties.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, I will be shocked when you see it——

In the past, One Weekly, whose pages were either in Hong Kong or Baodao, actually rarely published the word "Mainland" in this issue.

"Shocking!" Elva Hsiao broke up with her mentor because of love, just because of a mainland man! 》

On the full-color page, popular little diva Elva Hsiao, who also completed a massacre in Hong Kong with the song "The Most Familiar Stranger", drove her burgundy Ferrari, with a handsome man sitting in the passenger seat.

Both of them were wearing the same sunglasses, and seemed to be communicating something as if no one else was around. It could be seen that the two of them were talking happily, and Elva Hsiao was very happy.

Once you open the inside, it's even worse.

Private meetings, meals, even going in and out of the company hotel, and even the news that Elva Hsiao was breaking up with her mentor, leaving Virgin Music and turning to Warner Music, was written with a nose and an eye.

It was as if the reporter was hiding under the Ferrari and "heard" all of Elva Hsiao's rebellious words.

Since the origin of this news came from Baodao, relying on the few contacts he had gained from hanging out in the past six months, the Zhuoweito people quickly bought the major entertainment newspapers in Baodao in the past week.

The news that had been read over and over countless times in the past, such as "Liu Ruo was willing to be his mentor's mistress because of love", "Li Zongsheng was suspected of having an affair and his marriage was in crisis", etc., have disappeared. Almost all major entertainment newspapers have devoted their large pages to Gave it to a man named Zhou Yi.

Born in 1981, he is a male from Mainland China and a signed artist under Warner Music.

Most of the things surrounding him were about the scandal between him and Elva Hsiao, and the rest were various background speculations.

At this time, Baodao's entertainment publication industry was still somewhat unsatisfactory compared to Xiangjiang. There were more regular ones, and those that were out of the ordinary were not very eye-catching.

At least that's how it seemed to Han Binjiang.

However, this did allow him to capture a first-line business opportunity.

In line with the "practical spirit" that he has not forgotten, and in the name of seeking truth from facts, Han Binjiang decisively applied for a fund——

Mr. Poxiang Jiang doesn’t wait any longer. He goes to Baodao first to find news!

On June 26, 2000, a blockbuster news was published in the new entertainment section of Tianjin's "Daily News"——

"The light of mainland male stars, the little queen of the island, Elva Hsiao, is in a state of confusion!" 》

"He is a role model for mainland male stars, the number one among the younger generation, and one of the four young men of the millennium. He deserves a place!"

"..."

When Zhou Yi saw this newspaper, it was already the afternoon of the 27th.

At that time, he just happened to go to the newsstand to buy newspapers as a habit, and he was going to see if there were any big events that were going to happen recently, and if he could pick them up, but he spotted a newspaper that seemed to have his name on it, and he decisively grabbed it.

After tasting it carefully, he glanced at the reporter's name——

Author: Zhuo Wei.

Good fellow, old acquaintance!

Ah no, one-sided old acquaintance!

Did this guy debut so early?

Zhou Yi, who scratched his fingernails, looked at the name and fell into deep thought.

No wonder he feels that the style of this article is somewhat familiar to later generations. The co-author was written by Brother No. 1, an early mainland paparazzi.

The whole article is based on speculation based on scandals. After going through various twists and turns, it was forced to write the content of Zhou Yi successfully abducting the first Viking sister home by virtue of her good looks, giving the illusion of winning glory for the country.

Those who knew it was Elva Hsiao, but those who didn’t know it thought it was America’s sweetheart Britney.

"In this day and age, even the paparazzi respect Hong Kong and Taiwan..."

At first he didn't take it seriously, he just sighed and dismissed it.

After all, the mainland is so big, and Tianjin's "Daily News" is a new publication that was only created at the beginning of this year. Its influence is limited, and it is currently limited to Tianjin.

However, on June 28, with the demise of another media company that has become quite influential today, Zhou Yi's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

The headline of the entertainment section of "Southern Metropolis Daily": "A poor boy from the mainland falls in love with a rich daughter from the island?" 》

As a newspaper established in 1997, and as one of the three sectors that Nanfang Daily Newspaper Group values ​​the most and has the largest sales volume, the influence of "Southern Metropolis Daily" in the mainland is not that of "Daily News". 》Comparable.

With its report, domestic small media specializing in entertainment pages immediately found the source of mixing fees.

Praising and scolding, in just two days, the name Zhou Yi actually gained a little popularity by newspapers headed by the Southern Department, relying on scandals without having anything.

Especially when his father called from his hometown, the first words he spoke made Zhou Yi uncontrollable: "Yiyi, I read in the newspaper that you brought glory to the country? Did you date a foreign girl?

"Your mother and I are not that pedantic. You should talk about not worrying about the family."

"..."

God damn brings glory to the country!

Let’s not talk about love or not. What version of the news that spread all the way to Gan Province became?

Elva Hsiao only went to school in Canada, why did her nationality change?

Zhou Yi, who specially bought several southern newspapers, felt more and more outrageous as he read them - it was in line with his stereotyped influence on the southern newspaper industry.

"Bring glory to the country... Hahahaha, sorry, sorry, I usually don't laugh, but this time I just couldn't help it, hahaha..."

Cheng Hao, who also read the newspaper, found out about this and rushed to the house rented by Zhou Yixin as soon as possible to laugh at him.

Laughing loudly.

"Why are you laughing? Winning glory for the country is a very honorable news. Do you believe that more middle-aged and elderly viewers know my name now than they know yours?"

Zhou Yi glanced sideways at her, and the latter's laughter stopped abruptly.

It seems... is there really that much crookedness?

Zhou Yi, who once again won the right to bark, threw all the newspapers into the trash can and walked past her humming a tune proudly.

"I won't tell you anymore. I have to go to the company. Zhou Jianhui came over and said he wanted to change the song."

"Have to Love" and "Happy Worship" were two songs that he originally wanted to list together on the charts, but Zhou Jianhui rejected them directly after seeing the list and asked him to change two songs to chart.

The reason is very realistic——

"Zhou Yi, Zhang Shaohan is from Fu Mao Records. Now is the time when your exposure is high. If you use these two songs to hit the charts first, it will be equivalent to giving your popularity to her, which is not worth it."

It's okay to take advantage of Elva Hsiao's popularity, but it's not okay to share the popularity with Zhang Shaohan, who is also an amateur.

What Zhou Jianhui focuses on is truth.

"In this case, there is no other way. Let's change it to "It's Me" and "The One I Love is You".

Zhou Yi, who didn't care at all, changed the song directly.

He originally chose "Happy Worship" and "Have to Love" just because of the popularity of these two songs in the mainland.

Since it was rejected, let’s go straight to the trilogy of last week, Wang, and Lin——

"Give me time for a song", "The one I love is you", "It's me".

On June 30, amidst the specious noise, Zhou Yi's album of the same name "Zhou Yi" has been quietly lying in the warehouses of major distributors through Warner's channels, all ready.

The three selected songs were sent to major radio stations respectively.
