China Entertainment 2000

"Whether Disney will side with us is debatable. After all, helping with the group's public relations before was considered an exchange of interests."

Regarding Zhou Yi's consistent self-confidence, Qian Jiang felt a little guilty.

With just one song, you can’t expect Disney to help you over and over again, right?

Unless this song is so good that Disney can't give it up, or even cut it when filming the subsequent Caribbean series of movies, then Disney can sit down and form an alliance with Zhou Yi.

During this period of time, Qian Jiang, who was like a sponge absorbing knowledge about the European and American circles, had heard about Disney's follow-up plans for the IP theme of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

If Zhou Yi's theme song is really that important, then combined with Disney's future plans, Zhou Yi does have a promising future.

"Whether it works or not, let's talk about it first. In the worst case, I'll go back to China. What can Sony do to me?"

Zhou Yi, who got up with the finished product of "He's a Pirate", shrugged nonchalantly and then took the lead: "In China, I can beat the whole Sony family."

"It's not a matter of whether the whole family can do it or not..."

Qian Jiang followed Zhou Yi and chatted with him. A few minutes later, the two of them were led by Warner staff to the fully equipped conference room No. 3.

The moment he knocked on the door and pushed in, Zhou Yi saw a familiar face among the people from Disney—

Hollywood superstar, Captain Jack Sparrow Forever, domestic violence target of Mela Amber, teacup dog poop victim: Johnny Depp.

Jerry Mouse - Oh no, producer Jerry Bruckheimer still came up to Zhou Yi with a smile and gave Zhou Yi a hug: "Your song writing speed is really much faster than mine." Imagine, Spike, especially when it's so busy."

"Well, how should I answer this question?"

Zhou Yi tilted his head noncommittally and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I'm a genius?"

As a Party A who has been very happy to contact Zhou Yi and has not received any objection at all, this is really the first time for Jerry Bruckheimer to come into contact with Zhou Yi who can accept all the orders no matter what he asks. , Party B has absolutely no suggestions for modification.

He loved it.

But at the same time, I am also curious about what Zhou Yi wrote with such confidence.

Because the overseas copyright of Zhang Yimou's "Hero" has been sold, he still took the time to listen to "The Journey of the Elephant King" composed by Zhou Yi. This time, there were no lyrics, but he could feel the emotions contained in the music, and he couldn't help but raise his expectations for Zhou Yi's assignment this time.

"You have met director Gore Verbinski before, this is Johnny Depp, the star of "Pirates of the Caribbean," and this is our heroine Keira Knightley."

Jerry, as the middleman, introduced.

After so many years in the American entertainment industry, this was the first time I saw a figure like Zhou Yi who was "not afraid of power" and could reach a high position. Johnny Depp came up to shake hands with him in a friendly way: "Hello Spike, Just call me John.”

"Hello, John."

Zhou Yi smiled and joked: "You are much more handsome in person than you look on TV."

He really didn't mean this as a compliment.

Among the so-called good-looking Hollywood male stars selected by Xiaopo.com, Johnny Depp's looks are enough to be among the best. In Zhou Yi's personal opinion, Depp's appearance at his peak was even higher than that of the so-called "Earth Ball Grass" DiCaprio.

The animated picture of him and his ex-girlfriend smiling at each other at the award ceremony is a memory that will never be seen again.

"You are much more handsome than you look on the news, Spike." Keira Knightley, a British actress, joined the chat: "I often listened to your songs when I was in the UK."

The most impressive thing about this British rose with a somewhat classical temperament is its lack of figure - it has been criticized by critics and movie fans since its debut. Some call her the Rose of England, while others mock her as a fire girl.

You must know that these days, European and American stars with breasts that can compete with Sun Yanzi can be said to be as rare as giant pandas.

Unfortunately, Keira Knightley is one of them.

Acting in "Pirates of the Caribbean" is all about wearing clothes.

After exchanging contact information and chatting briefly, Qian Jiang played "He's a Pirate" for the four people who came to watch Zhou Yi's works——

At the beginning, there was a fast-paced orchestral music that directly caught the ears of everyone present, and the addition of percussion instruments created an intense and adventurous atmosphere at the beginning.

pirate!

Pirate adventure!

The excitement of narrowly escaping death!

The four people who are very familiar with "Pirates of the Caribbean" almost immediately sketched in their minds the scene in the movie where Captain Jack Sparrow goes on various adventures in the sea with the theme song.

This is absolutely, absolutely an extremely infectious and powerful song of freedom.

It will be free to interpret seamlessly.

The repertoire not only uses various percussion instruments to render the atmosphere, but is also supplemented by strings and brass winds, and the orchestration is rich in color——

The most direct impression presented is that the song "He's a Pirate" is sometimes mysterious and quiet, and sometimes choppy, giving them a strong sense of involvement in the plot.

After hearing the last part, Johnny Depp's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked up at the Chinese man who was doing a manicure like nothing had happened?

He didn't know much about the arrangement of instruments in the music circle, but he knew very well how many brain cells this huge orchestral and percussion arrangement would consume - more importantly, this theme song not only perfectly implemented the theme requirements of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but also went a step further to make it catchy.

Yes, catchy.

Forgive him for not having read much, not having much culture, and dropping out of school at the age of 15 to venture into society, and only using this word to describe it.

But the most intuitive point is that when he listened to this theme song, his legs would shake unconsciously with the progress and rhythm of the song, and when he heard the end, the sound effect of "thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump" began to loop in his mind automatically.

It's too brainwashing.

If this kind of song is used as a theme song for external publicity, it will definitely have an excellent effect.

Johnny Depp, who is already a Hollywood superstar and has been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor several times, knows very well how much impetus this piece of music named "He's a Pirate" by Zhou Yi can have on the movie.

Jerry, a more knowledgeable producer, was not as surprised as Depp at that time. He just sat in silence for a long time, then turned his head to look at Zhou Yi who was bored at the side: "Spike, I wonder if you have time to run a set of publicity with us?"

"Not far, just in New York, New York University Tisch School, I believe this is also a rare exposure opportunity for your new album."

Disney, which has already scheduled the premiere of the movie in Disneyland at the end of June in the United States and the release of the movie in the United States in early July, has now started the pre-promotion activities for "Pirates of the Caribbean". As one of the most famous art colleges in North America, New York University Tisch School is the first stop for publicity.

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise when he heard this: "Me? ?"

"That's right. ”

Speaking of this, Jerry did not hide his ambition: "Spike, this is a win-win event. It happens that you also need the heat to hit a higher goal now, right? I think your song can definitely become a classic. I swear to God in my career that this is absolutely the truth."

"Pirates of the Caribbean" also needs publicity to let more people know about this movie and this IP.

This is a rigid demand of Disney and also a rigid demand of him as a producer.

Coincidentally, Zhou Yi is now such a hot topic figure.

Because it involves the real racial discrimination incident in the music industry, big figures such as Tommy Mottola, the former president of Sony, have been dragged into the water, and Sony itself has been busy and exhausted. Even Celine Dion, a world-class queen who was once made famous by Tommy, has been involved in the discrimination storm.

This vortex is too big.

It is so big that Jerry sees the benefits behind the risks.

It is undeniable that after listening to this song, he did choose to stand with Zhou Yi, at least the Disney lineage behind him was willing to choose to stand with him.

To be honest, he was actually prepared to find faults, but now he has nothing to say.

He only wants to make friends with musicians like this whose talent is overflowing and whose work is completely flawless.

This is much better than those Hollywood music masters who have a lot of bad habits.

Who doesn't like the second party who does a good job and doesn't complain?

"Spike, your talent is not only limited to the Grammy, but also the Oscar. Believe me, you can also win the Oscar for music like Eminem."

Jerry, who was excited to see the prey, invited Zhou Yi and also revealed his ambition buried deep in his heart: "Let's go to the Oscar together."

As for Tommy Mottola, Celine Dion, etc.?

Who cares.

Disney doesn't even care about Sony itself.

Don't you have any idea who the current international giant boss is?
