China Entertainment 2000

Money or not, strictly speaking, it is really not the first consideration for Zhou Yi now. The company’s promotion channels and hidden resources are the focus.

Although Penguin seems to be in danger now, as long as it survives 2005, it will have no rivals in the country and officially become the dominant player in the field of instant messaging.

During this period, QQ must continue to expand and promote externally, and the hidden dividends this brings to it can be said to be difficult to quantify in terms of money.

After clarifying the bottom line of the term and other terms with Zhou Yi, Qian Jiang felt confident before talking about the next itinerary: "On the 3rd, that is, there will be a Coca-Cola event in Shanghai the day after tomorrow. I need you to go to the platform. There will also be interviews from time to time.

"In the Imperial Capital on the 5th, the Music Association has specially prepared a ceremony for you to welcome you to join. In the evening, you will attend an internal dinner of the Music Association.

"Then I will fly directly from the imperial capital to Seoul on the 6th to prepare for the China-Korea song concert. I will also promote your album, sell peripherals, and open a small fan club. This will also consolidate your fan base in South Korea."

In 2002, Seoul had not yet been renamed Seoul. Because last year's third China-Korea Song Festival was held in the imperial capital, this year's fourth one will be held in Seoul, South Korea.

As the leader of Chinese singers, Zhou Yi's current celebrity position can be said to be the only one that can be obtained at home and abroad. For all kinds of international events, Zhou Yi must be the best choice. He doesn't have time to look for someone else.

A typical example is the Sino-Japanese Song Concert held on September 22 this year. Because Zhou Yi was busy preheating and promoting his new album, the organizer had no choice but to choose Sun Nan.

It was precisely because of his outstanding performance at the China-Japan Song Contest that he also appeared on the list of this year's China-Korea Song Contest.

"This time you will have the privilege of singing two songs alone, which is the only one in the whole party." Qian Jiang also smiled when talking about the treatment of the China-Korean Song Festival: "You are the only one in the whole party who has this kind of treatment." treatment."

While the best combination of other big-name Chinese and Korean singers is only one solo + duet with others, the gold content of Zhou Yi's two solos is particularly conspicuous.

"The question now is, what song are you going to sing at the China-Korean Song Concert?"

Originally Qian Jiang just wanted to ask him which song from the album he wanted to sing this time, but considering that he sang a new song "Yellow Race" at the China-Korean Song Contest last year and also brought it to the Spring Festival Gala, he added This sentence: "By the way, the invitation to this year's Spring Festival Gala has also come."

The rehearsal time for the 2003 Year of the Sheep Spring Festival Gala is January 5, 2003, and the review of various programs has now begun.

With Zhou Yi's popularity and status, it is definitely a sure thing to be on the Spring Festival Gala, and it cannot be more stable. On the official website developed by the CCTV program team, there are also the most messages looking forward to seeing Zhou Yi.

The only difference is whether Zhou Yi sings old songs or new songs like last year.

Some fans expect Zhou Yi to sing songs that are already in the album, while others expect him to sing new songs that he has not officially released. The two sides are in a mess in terms of public opinion.

"New song."

Zhou Yi smiled and said without thinking: "It just so happens that I will go to the China-Korean Song Festival to sing an old song, and then I will sing this new song as a rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala."

"Glorious? Is this song not suitable for the Chinese and Korean singing concerts and the Spring Festival Gala?" Qian Jiang frowned subconsciously.

Looking at Zhou Yi's current songs, the only concert-limited song "Glory" that can be called a new song performed on stage is "Glory".

"No, no, of course not."

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard the title of Glorious Song. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's other new songs."

…………………………………………

"Other new songs? How many songs do you still have in stock?"

At 10:30 in the morning, after waking up, Elva Hsiao, who planned to come to Zhou Yi to have breakfast with him, grabbed a man's uneaten bun and stuffed it into his mouth, asking vaguely.

Zhou Yi shrugged noncommittally: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it. Besides, this thing is already cold. If you want to eat it, you might as well take it out and let someone heat it up."

Seeing that she couldn't stop after taking a bite, Zhou Yi reached out to get the landline phone to call someone over, but was interrupted by Elva Hsiao with a wave of his hand: "Fortunately, it's not too cold to eat, why are you so pretentious?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yi looked at her up and down in surprise: "You are really not picky."

"I'm used to it. When I was so busy before, I basically just dealt with a mouthful of bread and toast, no matter whether it was hot or cold." Elva Hsiao's cheeks were stuffed and bulging, and she didn't pay attention while speaking. The soup in the soup dumpling accidentally splashed onto the back of my hand.

He raised his hand to get the napkin when the phone in his pocket rang——

I took it out and saw that it was a call from my mother.

"Hello? Mom?"

Seeing Elva Hsiao reporting to her mother where she was and what she was doing, Zhou Yi, who was amused, immediately took her hand.

At first, Elva Hsiao, who thought this bitch man wanted to do something bad, almost lost her grip on the phone and steamed buns in her hands, but then she saw him take out a tissue and lower his head to wipe the oil stains slowly flowing on the back of his hand.

"...Don't worry, Mom, I'll go home tomorrow."

Elva Hsiao found a reason and ended the conversation with her mother so fast that the man who had just finished wiping the tissue and crumpled it into a ball didn't even have time to throw it into the trash can——

?

"Your mother still urges you to go home? I'd like to ask you how old you are?"

Zhou Yi was a little nervous.

"My mom has always been like this, you just get used to it."

Elva Hsiao threw her phone on the sofa and sat down cross-legged, sighing: "Especially after I entered the entertainment industry, as long as my teacher forgets or doesn't tell her, she will ask about my situation, otherwise Why did I want to leave in the first place?

"If your appearance hadn't reduced my work intensity, I definitely wouldn't have renewed my contract."

The teacher Yao Qian has always been high-pressure at work, and her mother, a strong woman, has always been high-pressure in life. However, both of them have good intentions for her own good.

Elva Hsiao felt that it was a good thing that she didn't have a mental breakdown. Fortunately, Zhou Yi could listen to her thoughts.

"Really or not, your mother is so strict with you?"

"Do you think she even cares about how many cans of Coke I drank in the morning?"

When talking about her mother, Elva Hsiao obviously also had a headache: "One day she found out that I drank several cans of Coke at home in the morning. She immediately called Yao Qian and asked him why he ignored me and let me drink so much Coke."

"..."

"It turns out that my mother and Yao Qian often make phone calls in private behind my back to exchange various news about me. Yao Qian knows what I do at home, and Yao Qian also tells me what I do at the company. mom.

“Sometimes I feel like there is an invisible pressure on me whether at home or at work that makes me breathless. I have no space for myself or privacy at all. I am not allowed to fall in love even if I want to... "

Obviously, Xiao Yaxuan has great resentment in her heart about her mother and teacher's "complicity" situation, otherwise she would not be so nagging.

But her upbringing clearly let her know that these two people really didn't have any bad intentions, they were just doing it for their own good. This conflicting mentality caused her to keep holding back this resentment.

"But fortunately, I think I can hide in the mainland for a while longer this year."

At the end of the sentence, Elva Hsiao took a sip of saliva and breathed a long sigh of relief: "The Spring Festival Gala is looking for me."

The Spring Festival Gala was the first time for her.

In fact, to be honest, she is no stranger to CCTV shows. In 2000, just a few months after her debut, she appeared on the stage of CCTV's Lantern Festival Gala, which is enough to show that the mainland attaches great importance to her.

If it weren't for work reasons, she would have actually appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage like Sun Yanzi last year.

"Looking for you to sing solo?"

"How is that possible? I guess only you can get that kind of treatment."

Regarding Zhou Yi's lack of common sense question, Elva Hsiao spread her arms on the back of the sofa and turned to look at Zhou Yi: "You will never guess who is singing with me."

"Xie Xiaodong?"

Zhou Yi's mind immediately thought of the Spring Festival Gala standard chorus professional. Sun Yanzi's first appearance on the Spring Festival Gala last year was——

"It's Yanzi."

"?"

Zhou Yi slowly typed a question mark and called him a good guy.

That is to say, CCTV can arrange for Sun Xiao and Sun Xiao, who are currently very popular, to sing together at the party.

"The program team gave me a song list and asked me to choose a few songs. Then we will see which songs are more suitable for the Spring Festival Gala. I will have to discuss it with Yanzi. What about you? What songs should I sing for the Spring Festival Gala? ?”

Elva Hsiao was a little curious.

"Don't tell me, it's a new song."

"A hint?"

Zhou Yi turned to look at her and grinned: "Strictly speaking, this is my first truly special song that I collaborated with others on."

"???"
