China Entertainment 2000

Chapter 411 You are right, but 800 million Europeans and Americans are listening...

If the person who said this was not Zhou Jianhui, Zhou Yi would most likely have hung up the phone directly.

After Zhou Jianhui told what happened, Zhou Yi immediately fell into thinking.

Obviously, he and Zhou Jianhui are now bound to the same boat. It has been a pleasure cooperating with Zhou Jianhui for more than two years. This man knows how to run a company well.

There is no sloppiness in the concessions that should be made.

"I guess the contract Bronsmann is willing to offer you will be more generous than what Warner is willing to offer you. After all, as he said, Warner Records is currently in a turmoil, and even a queen of Madonna's level cannot escape from making trouble over the contract. Contradictory fate..."

Zhou Jianhui, who was completely on Zhou Yi's side, told him about the situation at Warner headquarters.

Madonna, a veritable queen of the world music scene, is world-renowned.

In order to retain Madonna, Warner directly jointly opened a subsidiary company called Maverick Records with her, which was operated by Warner, and Madonna could directly enjoy the profit share.

But now, with Maverick Records losing money for two consecutive years, Madonna is gradually becoming dissatisfied with Warner. She believes that Warner did not suffer from poor management, but caused Maverick Records to suffer losses due to corruption, false accounting and other issues.

Because of this incident, this now well-deserved number one sister of Warner is about to have a falling out with Warner Records in private.

There was originally internal fighting within Warner, but now a top diva, Madonna, who is said to be secretly collecting evidence and preparing to file a lawsuit with Warner next year, has taken the chaos to a new level.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhou Yi still didn't know what to say about this chaotic scene within Warner...

"Warner is really lucky to have survived until now and hasn't closed down yet."

Zhou Yi, who was unable to complain, could only say this sentence after holding it in for a long time.

When Madonna no longer planned to continue to be independent, Linkin Park's best-selling album turned out to be a new generation of Warner's global market.

Of course, he is now the new generation leader of Warner Global Market.

"The test between me and him is almost done. Whether you want to join or not depends on your decision. Time Warner may not sell Warner Records yet. Your contract will expire in one and a half years, so there is no rush."

At the end, Zhou Jianhui obviously didn't want to put pressure on Zhou Yi, so he comforted him: "Anyway, it's not you who will show up this time -"

However, before Zhou Jianhui could finish his words, Zhou Yi interrupted him: "I am quite interested in this proposal, if it is a partnership model."

The so-called partnership model is actually a unique model used by record companies to bind their top artists.

As a distant example, there is the joint venture between Michael Jackson and Sony Records, and as a recent example, Madonna and Warner's Maverick Records.

Once this kind of contract is taken out, it basically means that the record company is willing to make huge concessions. To a large extent, it is similar to the effect of buying a horse bone for a thousand gold and buying a Dinghaishen needle.

Of course, due to the special nature of China where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, once the partnership system is established, Zhou Yi will not choose to open a new company - he knows very well what the future of the domestic music market will be like, and opening a company is purely Lose money and make money.

EMI's current Asia President Zheng Donghan will choose to become EMI's Chinese partner in the future. At the same time, he is also the first person in China to become a partner of an international record giant. As a result, the new company established through integration, Gold Medal, went from bad to worse, and finally faded away.

As a minority shareholder of Warner, he can use the big tree of Warner to hedge the losses caused by the downturn in the market environment in the future. He can just earn a few hundred million points from albums and concert box office.

It costs money to maintain channels.

It’s a pain in the ass, I’ll bear the infamy.

As long as Warner Records played the game properly in 2004 and copied Zheng Donghan's future operations at EMI, it would not be a problem to become a minority shareholder through the China partnership system when it was acquired.

Of course, the premise for this is that the people in charge of the China area are all people he knows well, such as Zhou Jianhui, who can also be promoted to partner.

Once Warner's new owner opens the partnership system to him, it is only natural that Zhou Jianhui, as the president of Asia who discovered him, should take the opportunity to upgrade and acquire shares.

When the loss of Madonna can be said to be a certainty, Warner's new owner will never accept the loss of Zhou Yi.

Having lost two pillars at once, the stock price is gone.

"you sure?"

"Of course, Uncle Hui, haven't we always been happy to work together? If I change my employer, I wouldn't be able to find someone as good and responsible as you."

"...In that case, Ayi, I understand."

Zhou Jianhui took a deep breath, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "Back then, I signed you and Yanzi against all the odds. It was really the most correct decision I have ever made in my life, bar none. "

"Let Yanzi go, what kind of level does she deserve to be with me? She has been lazy and fishing all day long, and she is the standard template of a lazy and greedy person."

?

Before Zhou Jianhui could get confused, Sun Yanzi's roaring voice like a groundhog came from the other end of the phone - "Ahhh! What do you mean Zhou?"

"What do you mean, it means literally - holy shit!"

After that, there was a busy tone of "beep".

Zhou Jianhui subconsciously glanced at the dark night outside the window and the clock on the wall, and silently calculated the time in his heart...

At this time in China, it should be around seven in the morning, right?

………………………………

"It's half past seven, to be precise."

Eating the steamed buns and fried dough sticks bought by his assistant, and taking sips of soy milk from time to time, Yanzi wiped his mouth and pulled Cheng Hao to complain: "I found out after I woke up that he was talking bad about me."

Cheng Hao, who was chewing noodles, had a strange expression on his face: "Did you two stay together last night?"

"Well, yes. Not only me, but Jie Lun, Shaohan, and Elva also slept at Zhou Yi's house."

Sun Yanzi nodded: "It was too late at the party last night, so everyone simply slept at Zhou Yi's house. After all, there were many rooms close to each other. When I woke up in the morning, I was woken up by the sound of them going out after waking up, and then... When I went out, I saw Zhou Yi glance at me and deliberately say bad things about me in front of me. "

"..."

Cheng Hao sighed helplessly, and then couldn't help laughing.

Clenching the meat bun tightly, as if he thought it was Zhou Yi's head, Sun Yanzi bit it off hard and let out an angry mouth. His eyes immediately fell on the newspaper folded on the corner of the dining table. The photos of their party at the bar last night were clearly visible. .

Sun Yanzi, who had always been a good girl in front of Cheng Hao, blinked immediately.

Thanks to the strong influence of the three girls together, the three record companies of Virgin, Foremost and Warner issued statements immediately, saying that the gathering of the three girls in the imperial capital was not the so-called job hopping. They were all rumors, just because Mobile has activated its banknote capabilities. Please come over and do endorsements.

At the same time, China Mobile officially began to warm up its new brand M-Zone. It issued four announcements in a row, saying that it had signed a contract with three girls plus Jay Chou, and also stated in the announcement that it had invited Zhou Yi to sing two songs.

While the event's popularity increased instantly, M-Zone's preheating publicity work took advantage of this hot spot and began to gradually become known to people.

"Zhou Yi specially customized a song for the three girls? And wrote a song for Jay Chou? Damn it, is it tailor-made?!"

"China Mobile is so rich? Didn't the rumors say that one song by Lao Mouzi in "Hero" is worth tens of millions?"

"Zhang Shaohan's "MVP Lover" is so good, and her new drama "Dolphin Bay Lovers" is said to be aired soon..."

Even here in Taiwan, the news that all the popular fried chicken companies have been wiped out by mainland companies with Chinese prefixes is enough to shock public opinion.

Under the netherworld filter of those ancestral forums, many fans rushed forward and began to discuss how much money China Mobile spent to bring these four people together.

As Zhouyi's popularity on the island began to rise again, Italian fans also had some minor frictions with fans of Wilber Pan, known as "Little Zhouyi", and beat him to the point of being forced to play offline.

As for why the stupid fans of Zhou Yi are called spaghetti, it is unclear where the name first appeared. The current mainstream explanation is that these fans only want to obsess over the number one idol in the world. In addition, Zhou Yi's easy-to-pronounced pronunciation means that it is directly Became spaghetti.

"Oh, it would be great if Zhang Shaohan's English name could be changed to one that starts with H. I really don't like those three SHE guys who can only sing covers."

A SHE black fan followed the trend and posted a sentence, which directly resonated with many people.

As the most successful girl group in Taiwan in recent times, SHE has made a breakthrough after two years of growth.

It just so happens that Sun Yanzi's English name Stefanie starts with S, Elva Hsiao's English name starts with E, but Zhang Shaohan's Angela doesn't match up.

Some even said that the SEA trio was a mobile Tianhou Palace built after the Warner Tianhou Palace. It was doomed to fail and Zhou Yi could not save it.

This poked Zhou Yi Tiefen's lungs.

As we all know, the ones that are still active on the island’s Internet today must be the crystal powder from Zhouyi Crystal Powder——

"What do you mean Zhou Yi can't save it? Zhou Yi is not responsible for the Warner Queen's Palace, it's Chen Zeshan who is responsible, right?"

"Do you still need to question Zhou Yi's strength? "In the Name of the Father" has a record of 800 million people listening to radio stations in Europe and the United States. No one can stop it, you know? It's funny to still question Zhou Yi's strength. Ning Hao, the director of "In the Name of the Father" was also Zhou Yi is red."

"Eight hundred million people are listening? Is it true or false? What is the total population of Europe and the United States?"

"It's okay to lie to you that I'm a puppy. It's real. I heard that Zhou Yi will soon be named one of the top ten music geniuses. He is also the only one in Asia to be on the list."

"You are right, but "In the Name of the Father" is a miraculous song listened to by 800 million people across Europe and the United States. It was composed by Zhou Yi, one of the top ten music geniuses in the world..."
