China Entertainment 2000

Sun Yanzi thinks that she is not a person who is short of money. Her family has never lacked food and clothing for her since she was a child. If she wants to buy luxury goods, it is not impossible for her to buy them.

Thanks to her father's connections and status in Singapore's academic community, she has not seen those truly wealthy families.

But she had to admit that when Zhou Yi said with a smirk and pride that two buildings belonged to him, she was really stunned.

Unlike the rich second generations she knew, Zhou Yi could be said to have stepped out of poverty step by step as she watched.

She knew that Zhou Yi was very rich. After all, there was a qualitative gap between him who could earn US dollars and other Chinese singers who could only earn RMB.

But before today, she didn't have a very intuitive idea of ​​how much money Zhou Yi had.

She didn’t know much about the housing prices in the Imperial Capital, and she didn’t ask about the rent of the house her company rented in the Imperial Capital, but one thing was clear—

If she wanted to buy a house in the imperial capital now, although she could afford it, she would never be able to buy two houses like Zhou Yi.

She really can't afford this.

As a singer, not only does Zhou Yi get more revenue than she does, he even gets a share of her best-selling albums.

In a sense, she was also working for Zhou Yi.

"You have changed. When we were in Taipei, we agreed to rent a house together, but you actually secretly bought a house." After coming back to his senses, Sun Yanzi sighed pretending to be sad.

I think that whether she is in Taipei or the imperial capital, the house she lives in is rented to her by the company.

She graduated from the Marketing Department, and from a professional perspective, this area was much more prosperous than the area the company rented to her.

Apart from anything else, the China World Trade Center that I passed by when I came here is enough to explain everything, not to mention that a new China World Trade Center is being planned nearby.

It is obvious that this place is one of the core business districts of the imperial capital, now and in the future.

"Actually, he has more than just two buildings here."

Seeing Sun Yanzi's deliberately sarcastic words, Cheng Hao on the side casually raised his hand to smooth the slightly wind-blown hair in front of his forehead, and said with a smile: "There are two more shops, right here." Over there at Guomao.

"It's even scarier over there. The rent and selling price have already doubled before it even started to be rented out."

"..."

? ? ? ! ! !

Didn't this bitch spend all the money he earned in the past two years on real estate?

Sun Yanzi looked at him suspiciously.

"Low-key, low-key. Why are you telling her these things? These are all trivial things."

The tail behind Zhou Yi's buttocks is almost sticking up to the sky as he talks about being low-key. He looks so proud that all he has to do is have the words "I'm so awesome, come and praise me" clearly engraved on his forehead.

Sun Yanzi, who didn't want to obey him, bared his teeth at the man, turned around and went to rekindle the relationship between sisters with Cheng Hao, leaving Zhou Yi alone behind him, looking at the two with a ghostly look on his face. Walking into the community hand in hand like best friends.

"Hello Cheng, do you live here too?"

"No, how can I afford to buy here. But I plan to rent here. I don't want to pay rent to anyone. I might as well rent to Zhou Yi. At least I know this landlord well."

"Wow, is Zhou Yi's salary so low for you? The evil capitalist, the picky Zhou Papi, is so rich and still charges you such an expensive rent..."

Sun Yanzi's name was Xiaosheng, but his loud slander made Zhou Yi, who was following the two girls, roll his eyes wildly: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here. If I'm jealous, I'll just say it. I won't despise you."

"Only ghosts are jealous of you, Luo Luo Luo."

Sun Yanzi turned around and stuck out his tongue at Zhou Yi, then immediately straightened his head and continued to walk forward holding Cheng Hao's hand as if nothing had happened.

The good greening and strict security measures along the way opened Sun Yanzi's eyes.

Apart from anything else, this place is much better than the place she rents now. It's no wonder Zhou Yi bought two buildings.

"Another advantage of living here is that you can basically prevent the paparazzi from following and taking photos..." Cheng Haoyu, who obviously knew this area very well, unknowingly put on a hostess attitude towards Sun Yanzi. Introducing.

Zhou Yi's popularity is obvious to all. The previous community security is obviously no longer able to satisfy him, so a change of location is just right.

In the spirit of coming here, Sun Yanzi also wanted to see what Zhou Yi would live in in the future, but the result...

The ultra-luxurious flat floor with two stairs and one apartment is still decorated in a warm and free-style Nordic style that is twenty years ahead of its time. It almost made Sun Yanzi, who is used to living in apartments in Taiwan and small apartments in the imperial capital, look stupid. .

Especially the large horizontal hall that is visually large enough to stop three Mercedes-Benz cars.

"Is this a built-in decoration?"

"No, he changed it himself, so it looks more shocking." Cheng Hao spread his hands: "Although I think it's a waste of space."

"What do you know? Big is good, big is king."

Zhou Yi closed the door and made a deafening voice.

"Then why don't you buy a villa?" Sun Yanzi, who used the sofa as a bed and lay down on it, rolled on it, turned over and looked up at him.

"Because the villas I can buy now are not very good."

Zhou Yi opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and walked to the balcony. Looking at the streets of the imperial capital, Zhou Yi felt quite emotional. Cheng Hao on the side skillfully poured a glass of water for each of them...

Um……

A cup of water.

Seeing Zhou Yi reach out to take it very naturally, Sun Yanzi, who smelled something amiss, finally realized - No, isn't this Zhou Yi's new house?

Why is Cheng Hao so familiar with the layout and equipment of Zhou Yi's new house?

She could clearly see that Zhou Yi was not familiar with this new home, which could be seen from the fact that he touched the furniture several times.

"Hello Cheng, where do you live?"

While Zhou Yi was obviously still checking the furniture in the house, Sun Yanzi, who sipped his saliva, stood up from the sofa, quietly pulled Cheng Hao aside, and asked in a low voice.

"downstairs."

Cheng Hao pointed his right index finger at his feet.

"Then why do I feel like this isn't your first time here?"

"It's okay. Zhou Yi is busy, so he entrusted me with the decoration."

Cheng Hao didn't hide it, and joked casually: "How about it, isn't it great here? Do you want to live in too? The privacy here is much better than over there."

After experiencing the Gemini romance that had been hyped for so long in Warner, Zhou Yi had not yet gotten together with Sun Yanzi, which was enough to make Cheng Hao no longer wary of her.

In addition, Sun Yanzi specifically asked her father for help because of her father's cancer, so she had the connections to save her from death. She was even more grateful to Sun himself.

To put it bluntly, a savior like Sun Yanzi, who could almost be said to have saved her family, had to come to kowtow to her during festivals in ancient times and give her various gifts.

In a sense, she invited Sun Yanzi to come and live here for her safety.

Sun Yanzi is so popular.

The reason why Zhou Yi moved here to live was safety factor which cannot be ignored.

"ah?"

Sun Yanzi, who never expected Cheng Hao to say such a thing, blinked.

Live in too?

That's okay.

At first, she thought that her good sister was getting under Zhou Yi's bed like Elva Hsiao, but now it seems that the two of them should be fine.

Otherwise, how serious would it be to invite her, the "scandalous twin star", to live in the house.

These two should have a pure business partnership. After all, as Zhou Yi said, they have known each other for several years.

"It's not impossible. It's spacious here and much better than my place. When we have nothing to do, we can go out and hang out together."

Originally, she only had Cheng Hao, the only female friend she could talk to in the mainland, but now she can live in a building with her good sisters, chat about everything, and go upstairs and downstairs with Zhou Yi.

Your best friend is right next to you, and the person you like is right across the street - win!

What a win!

Sun Yanzi felt that he was one of the smart ones, and he could find such perfect reasons.

Therefore, when Zhou Yi returned to the living room after inspecting several rooms, what he saw was Sun Yanzi and Cheng Hao sitting at the dining table, eating cookies and gossiping.

"What are you two talking about? Are you so happy?"

"We're talking about the collapse of Rolling Stones." There was a bunch of melon seeds on hand, and Sun Yanzi picked one up and put it in his mouth, looking like a member of the intelligence team in the village during the Spring Festival.

"?"

What the hell?

Zhou Yi almost thought he heard it wrong: "Has Rolling Stone been acquired? Or has it declared bankruptcy?"

He just went to South Korea, but why was the Rolling Stone gone?

"Not yet, it's just that the operating gap is getting bigger and bigger." Cheng Hao, who had gained a lot of knowledge, corrected with a smile: "The one that went bankrupt was Magic Rock Records, a subsidiary of Rolling Stone."

"..."

It's Magic Rock Records, so that's okay.

Zhou Yi was not very surprised when he heard this name.

"Why don't you look like you're not surprised at all? That's Magic Rock Records. Didn't there used to be three famous Magic Rock heroes in your mainland?"

Sun Yanzi was a little surprised by Zhou Yi's lack of any mood swings.

You must know that she was very surprised when she heard that Magic Rock Records officially declared bankruptcy at the end of last year.

In December 2002, after releasing the last scheduled album, the record company that had witnessed the glory of Chinese rock music officially declared bankruptcy.

This also caused the industry to have great doubts about the real business conditions of Rolling Stone Records.

"It's weird that they don't go bankrupt, okay? Dou Wei, the biggest name in the company and the most famous, sold 70,000 copies of his last record and lost everything."

Zhou Yi curled his lips.

Not to mention Dou Wei, who has completely left the market, the sales of other people in Magic Rock Records are not enough to support the company to conquer this market.

No matter how high the so-called competitiveness is, the market is the key to determining whether a company can survive in this era of piracy.

If you insist on releasing an album at your own expense, no one will say anything about you. Even if your sales plummet, others will only give you a thumbs up.

I can't live any longer and still talking to the company about the spirit of music is just out of my mind.

"How many? Seventy thousand?"

Cheng Hao was stunned when he heard this number: "Are you sure? That's Dou Wei."

For her who went to college in the imperial capital, the reputation of the three heroes of Demon Rock in the past was astonishing. Even in the bar streets where Zhou Yi once hung out, the songs of the Three Great Heroes of Mo Yan are all hits.

"It's useless. The rock and roll they think of is dead. It's useless even if you bring Cui Jian back out now, not to mention that people like Dou Wei have broken away from the popular music aesthetic."

Zhou Yi shook his head.

This is the market, very cruel and very realistic.

Just like Liu Huanwei said in an interview, in the past 1980s and 1990s, if you had said that Wang Feng's songs after his solo career were rock, there would be a 100% chance that the audience would hate them.

But after entering the 21st century, Wang Feng, who went solo from the Baojia Street Band, has become a real spokesperson for orthodox rock. One person took up the Chinese rock music that had reached its lowest point and revitalized the market.

Cheng Hao obviously still had the impression that the Three Heroes of Magic Rock were awesome, and his expression at this moment was somewhat incredible. As an industry insider, Sun Yanzi could only be glad that he did not rush into the street.

One version after another, one god after another. After all, the last version of god is still no match for the changes in the music market in the new century.

"Then your competition intensity in the music world should be much lower this year. Magic Rock has closed down and the Stones have gone into decline again. This means that there is one less strong enemy."

After a brief moment of silence for the famous singer in his memory, Cheng Hao instantly switched to a gloating attitude.

"That's right. The only ones in Rolling Stone that can beat the sales now are Liang Jingru and Wu Yuetian. Brother Xiaoqi is no longer as brave as he used to be, Sister Milk Tea is focusing on movies and TV dramas, and even Five Hundred has left Rolling Stone this year."

Sun Yanzi, who saw the end of the Rolling Stones dynasty with his own eyes, was also a little sad: "Zhou Yi, how long do you think we can be popular in the future?"

According to the rules of previous generations in the music industry, there is basically a major version change every ten years.

"It's hard to say. You may rush to the street at any time, but I won't." Zhou Yi ate melon seeds nonchalantly.

"?"

Sun Yanzi, who was still a little sad just now, slowly asked a question: "What do you mean I may be on the street at any time? With my current popularity, do you believe that I can still be at the peak of my popularity after quitting the music scene this year?

"Do you know that China Mobile took a fancy to my influence and directly signed a three-year contract with me to represent their new brand M-Zone?"

"Don't be shameless, there are Elva Hsiao and Zhang Shaohan." Zhou Yi glanced at her sideways and revealed it ruthlessly.

Cheng Hao on the side didn't stop, and the corner of his mouth jumped up. Then he immediately pretended that nothing happened and poured tea for the two people who got angry from eating melon seeds.

Sun Yanzi, who felt like he had lost his underwear in front of his good sisters, began to grind his teeth, making a crunching sound on the melon seed shells he bit.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something."

Zhou Yi raised his glass and took a sip and said with a smile: "If nothing else, I should have written the M-Zone promotional song for the three of you. So, respect me, or else I will ask you to sing some shameful lyrics."

"Aren't you the spokesperson for Global Communications?"

"Global Telecom doesn't need a promotional song, M-Zone does." Zhou Yi shrugged and told the results of the battle between Qian Jiang and his team of lawyers.

The various demands put forward by the Peking University Lawyers Group really made things difficult for the mobile phone company. The bottom line was retreated again and again, and in the end, it was directly refunded to only 3%.

But correspondingly, Zhou Yi also had to write two promotional songs for the new M-Zone brand at a "friendly price" of one million songs.

This is not because the mobile team is greedy, but it is because if they don’t get some results and go back to work, it will be difficult for them both in terms of face and results.

Well, now, although our bottom line for ring tones has been lowered again and again, we have not failed to negotiate other conditions - at least we spent two million to hire Zhou Yilai to write two songs for the new brand Dynamic Zone.

Which leader would not give a thumbs up after seeing this result and say it's awesome?

The friendship price for Zhang Yimou to ask Zhou Yilai to write a poem was 7.2 million. How much money was saved here and there!

win!

Big win!

Sun Yanzi immediately looked at him with a wary look: "What do you want me to sing?"

"Well..."

Zhou Yi rubbed his chin with one hand, as if he had thought of a certain scene, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise: "I plan to let you sing to me "You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth. I only love you, you are my super star】.

? ? ?

Depend on!

These lyrics!

So embarrassed - no, it’s so exciting!

When Sun Yanzi thought of that scene, she suddenly felt inexplicably excited, but she reacted the next second - "You guys?"

"Yes, China Mobile is planning to pull a big stunt. I will write the lyrics and music, and you, Elva Hsiao, and Zhang Shaohan will sing the chorus."

"..."

Depend on!

This lyrics

Sun Yanzi immediately curled his lips in disdain: "What a narcissist."
