China Entertainment 2000

Judging from the tone, Qian Jiang obviously didn't want Zhou Yi to get involved in this matter.

It’s not that I don’t want to contribute to the country.

If it was just about singing, then Qian Jiang would be happy for Zhou Yi to take over this task. Anyway, this kid has never known what nervousness is. He has been known as a big-hearted player since his debut. The bigger the venue, the better he performs.

Going to a big occasion like the Olympics is also good for him.

But what the organizing committee wanted to see Zhou Yi this time was his creative ability and external influence.

Among the entire Chinese entertainment industry, the only person who has huge influence and popularity abroad, apart from Chenglong, is Zhou Yi.

Let Chenglong, who is 49 years old, take the stage to perform a set of military boxing?

Or go up and sing "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down"?

Obviously not.

This was not part of chief director Zhang Yimou's plan.

“You are young and may not know much about things like the Olympics, Ayi.

"Since we are the host country for the next Olympic Games in 2008, at the closing ceremony of next year's Athens Olympics, they will give us about 8 minutes to be a welcoming stage to the world, which can also be regarded as showing ourselves.

"Zhang Yimou is the chief director of the Eight Minutes of the Athens Olympics. After he finished filming Heroes, he got in touch with the organizing committee and has already started planning the content for the Olympics..."

We must ensure that we can show China's style and charm in just 8 minutes, give the world a startling glimpse, and at the same time show our own cultural confidence and express China's attitude of welcoming visitors from all over the world on the international stage.

This difficulty cannot be said to be trivial.

At first, Zhang Yimou and his team and leaders considered Liu Huan, but due to poor results, the decision was pending. It was not until Zhou Yi became famous in Europe and the United States in the past two months.

In terms of reputation abroad, Zhou Yi's face is definitely higher than Liu Huan's.

In terms of creative talent - at least Zhang Yimou admired Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart after the happy cooperation in "Hero".

"He thinks that inviting you here can make up for the problem that the songs are not representative enough. To put it bluntly, I suspect that he brought you in just to get you to write songs. If you don't get this kind of propositional composition right, you will be easily attacked... …”

Zhou Yi has already reached this point. There is no need to take this gamble. The risk is too great.

Anyway, that's how it seems to Qianjiang.

Unless Zhang Yimou asked Zhou Yi to come in because of his reputation abroad and simply invited him to sing.

But this is very unlikely.

As far as he knows, Zhang Yimou has only tentatively decided on the song "Jasmine" as the opening performance, and is still testing the effect. As for the second song that will be the finale of the main lineup, it has not yet been decided because I feel like I can’t choose anything.

Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Qian Jiang not to prepare for the worst and consider Zhou Yi's future reputation.

"It's hard to push forward this meeting. You can meet them when the time comes. If the momentum is not right, then..."

Qian Jiang used his most of his life's experience in the world of martial arts to come up with a comprehensive exit method for Zhou Yi as an alternative plan. Once he found something wrong, he could immediately activate this trick——

Sun Yanzi on the side listened so seriously that he barely needed a pen to take notes, but Zhou Yi himself listened in one ear and out the other.

It wasn't until the phone was hung up that Sun Yanzi, who had been slightly nervous listening to Qian Jiang's exaggeration of the national atmosphere, noticed Zhou Yi's extremely relaxed posture and couldn't help but look at him in surprise: "Aren't you nervous?"

"Why am I nervous? No matter what, I am just a singer. If the public wants to criticize me, why should they criticize Zhang Yimou as the chief director."

Zhou Yi, who was turning his chair, spread out his hands: "If you really want me to take the role then, I'll just make sure I don't make any mistakes."

Sun Yanzi looked like he had seen a ghost: "Why do you feel like it's easy for you to make mistakes? That's the Olympics."

In 2003, the Olympic Games still had considerable influence around the world.

Sun Yanzi took the role of herself. If Singapore holds the Olympic Games one day, she will take the stage as a representative singer to sing on behalf of the country...

hiss……

She felt a little suffocated just thinking about that scene.

"is it hard?"

Zhou Yi, who took another bite of the apple, obviously didn't take it to heart at all.

If you want Chinese songs, my door is always open and you can go straight in;

If Zhang Yimou wants to go international and wants a large number of foreigners to understand what these eight minutes express at the first time, he can also sing an English song - change Taylor Swift's future song "Welcome to New York" to "Welcome" to Bei Jing》.

Anyway, the hope, prosperity, expectation, enthusiasm, hospitality and other emotions described in Taylor Swift's song can be applied to many cities in the world, just by changing the name of New York.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, at the end of the eight minutes of the Athens Olympics next year, Zhang Yimou finally had no choice but to sing "Jasmine" twice, causing the little girl who finally took the stage to repeat "Jasmine" to shout out That sentence in English: Welcome to Bei Jing.

From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with him singing "Welcome to Bei Jing".

He sang "Welcome to Bei Jing" in front of foreign friends on the eight-minute stage in Athens, and he was surrounded by Chinese elements performing around him. It was able to show a little bit of hospitality and welcome everyone to travel to China, without being too complete. It is the song of jasmine with unknown meaning.

You can also sing a chorus to welcome you, but even foreigners can't understand it. At best, it's just BGM. After all, Eight Minutes in Athens is a platform for foreigners from all over the world, and English songs are definitely more conducive to spreading around the world.

Considering the enthusiastic brainwashing melody of the song "Welcome to New York" and the fact that it is the Athens Olympics after all, Zhou Yi himself is actually more inclined to sing this during the external stage.

Not only can he effectively use his fame abroad to spread the song to the outside world at a faster speed, but it can also make the city "Bei Jing" in the song penetrate into the ears of every foreign listener along with the brainwashing melody of the song. , to promote the city to the outside world to the maximum extent;

Let more international friends know where the next Olympic Games will be and establish a good first impression of "Bei Jing", a city they have never met before, through this English song.

When the local publicity was launched in 2008, he would take the lead in singing "Welcome to You".

As a result, it has blossomed both at home and abroad.

Of course, this is only the most ideal situation.

If Zhang Yimou, as the chief director, doesn't adopt it, then he doesn't bother to care. Anyway, he is destined to be scolded for the poor programming of Eight Minutes in Athens. He is just a young singer responsible for singing.

For Zhou Yi, what really needs attention is the homeland in 2008. That is the real focus, not Athens in 2004.

"Hoo, ho!"

While he was thinking about it, Sun Yanzi, who saw him in a daze, subconsciously raised his hand and greeted him twice: "What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed? Are you nervous?"

"I want to retire."

"?"

Hearing this, Sun Yanzi's heart skipped a beat, and the next second he pricked up his ears, and asked calmly: "How old are you when you think about retiring?"

"This is called avoiding thirty years of detours, you know what the heck."

Zhou Yi glanced at the time and closed the web page. He stood up from the chair, stretched his waist and walked out of the study: "You have to enjoy life, right?"

"Hey, this is the first time I agree with what you said."

When a lazy person meets a lazy person, the resonance needs no words.

Sun Yanzi, who was smiling, followed him: "By the way, Zhou Yi, you can lend me your gym at home."

"What do you want to do?"

"Didn't I take over Xingye's "Kung Fu"? As you can tell from the title, it's a Kung Fu movie. I plan to give myself some exercise first, you know."

As he spoke, Sun Yanzi also put on a boxing stance, punching twice from time to time as he moved forward, saying plausibly: "The company's gym is too far away, and I don't want to go to the gym near my home. Who knows if I will win." Recruiting SARS.

"Among the three of us, you are the only one who has a gym at your home, so I can only come to your house to exercise."

As a man who often chooses to exercise when he is free, the largest functional area in Zhou Yi's home is the fitness area, with all fitness equipment available.

"Just you? Still exercising?"

Zhou Yiban, who stopped, turned around and looked up and down at Sun Yanzi, who had become much mellower due to his "hard work" in the past few years. Although the words were not spoken clearly, the look in his eyes already said everything.

"I'm very strong."

Squeezing his arm, which had recently gained two ounces of flesh, Sun Yanzizhi did a dumbbell curl with great satisfaction.

Just as they were walking out of the study, the two happened to meet Cheng Hao, who was still reading documents in the living room. The latter, who was attracted by Sun Yanzi's movements, was a little strange: "What is so strong?"

"She wants to prove that she is a seasoned fitness veteran, do you think she will be?" Zhou Yi smiled and lowered his eyes.

"It's hard to say."

Cheng Hao closed the document in his hand and placed it on the coffee table, smiling.

"Let me prove it to you."

Determined to make a living for himself, Sun Yanzi walked into the fitness area. After scanning around, he first landed on the heavy-looking dumbbell rack...

Um……

Then, her eyes fell on the horizontal bar frame with only one movable horizontal bar next to the gantry.

That’s it!

"Watch, don't blink."

Under the gaze of Zhou Yi and Cheng Hao, Sun Yanzi walked to the horizontal bar frame, breathed into his palms, clapped his hands, and immediately jumped up——

"Hey!"

After the self-dubbed movements, Sun Yanzi, who grabbed the horizontal bar with both hands, easily performed ten pull-ups that were still in line with college student standards, and then landed steadily.

Before she could speak, Cheng Hao, who looked more surprised than applauded, was the first to praise in surprise: "It's amazing Yanzi, you can do ten so easily."

"That is."

Sun Yanzi, who was waiting for praise, suddenly smiled. When he was done, he raised his chin slightly and cast a proud look at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi chuckled lightly after accepting the provocation. After moving his body twice, he stood on tiptoe and grasped the crossbar. He raised his eyes to look at the two women who were looking at him, and raised a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth: "Are you sure your name is Yin?" Upward?"

"Then otherwise——"

Under Sun Yanzi's almost dull eyes, Zhou Yi did a standard pull-up but did not come down from the spot. Instead, he swung his body and put the horizontal bar held tightly in both hands on his front teeth, which was three gears higher than before, in a way that was almost like climbing!

"Ding!"

The sound of metal collision was particularly crisp in this empty fitness area. After climbing up twice effortlessly, Zhou Yi's height directly rose a lot!

"I-he-isn't-this shouldn't be..."

Facing the man who landed easily, Sun Yanzi looked incredible.

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows at her proudly.

"...Coach, I want to learn this!"
