China Entertainment 2000

Zhou Yi stopped eating the noodles, sniffed after biting off the noodles, and looked up at her.

"Don't think too much, I'm not teaching you how to do things."

Cheng Hao made a joke, but as he pulled out the chair and sat down, the index finger of his left hand played with the knuckles of the five fingers of his right hand more quickly.

"Okay, are you tired?"

Zhou Yi, who had never really complained about being tired in front of Cheng Hao and his family, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"When I talked to my parents, they said you are very tired in the United States and sometimes you can't sleep for more than a few hours a day."

Cheng Hao pursed his lips, and then said: "You know Zhou Yi, in your words, our stocks have taken off, especially NetEase stocks on the Internet."

At the end of last year, NetEase's stock price, which took off in a straight line with the game "Westward Journey OL2", has officially entered the take-off track. The benefits this has brought to Zhouyi and Cheng Hao can be called a roller coaster.

Especially Cheng Hao.

You must know that in the past, she accompanied Zhou Yi to buy NetEase with the thought of losing the money. She even watched NetEase's stock price fall below US$0.65 due to internal and external troubles, and the stock was forced to suspend trading.

But what's the result?

Ding Sanshi, who took back the leadership of the company, relied on the game "Westward Journey 2" to make a comeback, and the stock price began to rise. At the end of last year, it had stabilized near the US$8 line, reaching a maximum of US$10.14.

On January 21, 2003, NetEase's stock rose to $17.9 due to the popularity of "Westward Journey Online 2" around the Chinese New Year;

Since the beginning of this year, a large number of people have been at home due to the impact of SARS, which has also indirectly promoted the business expansion of Internet companies such as NetEase and Sina in which Guiyi holds shares.

As of today, May 30, NetEase's share price has surpassed Sohu's "only" US$25.83 per share, soaring directly to US$31.65.

This Internet company, which was suspended from trading in 2001 and earned Zhou Yi and Cheng Hao the title of "taken advantage of" in the investment circle, became the first Internet company in China's Internet history to have its share price exceed the US$30 mark in May 2003. company.

As for Sina, another company that Guiyi holds shares in, they belong to the Yusan family to make up the numbers. The stock price is "bleak" to only US$15.24, which is a cliff-like gap with NetEase.

The power of NetEase games is so terrifying.

A fraction of the income from the NetEase stocks held by Cheng Hao is enough to cover the cost of her parents' continued medical treatment in the United States.

Cheng Hao, who is no longer a novice, can even predict how far she and Zhou Yi will be able to rely on NetEase and Sina. She now understands why the so-called stock trading can have such magic power.

The excitement and stimulation brought about when the numbers rise one by one is enough to make ordinary people feel addicted.

But fortunately she is not an ordinary person.

Although she has made money in the stock market, it is still visible to the naked eye that she can continue to make a lot of money, but Cheng Hao still maintains a cool head. She even thought about selling all the stocks she holds now and quietly taking the money with her. The years are quiet at home.

For example, go back to your alma mater, Chinese Opera, to study as a graduate student, and then take the exam to become a teacher.

When I saw that Zhou Yi was so busy preparing for the concert that he had not even eaten yet, I thought about what my parents said when I talked on the phone with Zhou Yi. Sometimes he was so busy that he could only sleep for three or four hours a day. Somewhat distressed.

"Isn't it expected that it took off? Otherwise, I would definitely buy it? Or would I let you buy it too?"

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi smiled at her: "But, you know, I always have a beginning and an end when doing things.

"This round of "Star World Tour" has been scheduled for a long time. It can be regarded as an agreement between me and the fans. I don't really want to break the agreement."

Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment after hearing the implication.

"This is probably my first and last tour."

After taking a sip of soup, Zhou Yi smiled and invited: "So, the beautiful heartthrob lady, are you interested in appearing in this "Star" that is destined to be out of print?"

After the 2008 Olympics at the latest, after completing his Olympic duties, he can leave the music scene and start retiring early to enjoy life.

At this juncture, if he just gives up his job and doesn't talk about retirement, and doesn't talk about the problem of not making enough money, it would be somewhat unjustifiable from a moral perspective. After all, the officials are sparing no effort to promote him as a facade.

"I?"

Cheng Hao, who never expected that Zhou Yi would suddenly invite him, waved his hands in surprise: "No, no, I can't, and I can't sing. It's not like you don't know that my singing skills are limited to KTV level."

With this level of singing skills, wouldn't it be embarrassing to go to a concert, let alone Zhou Yi's limited edition concert.

"What are you afraid of? You are so beautiful. You will become very popular wherever you go. Don't forget who has made the word "heartthrob" binding to you."

Zhou Yi waved his hand nonchalantly: "Besides, what's wrong with KTV singing skills? Even those who can't sing can hold concerts. It's already amazing that you can sing at KTV level."

"..."

The smile on Cheng Hao's lips was somewhat uncontrollable.

She felt that Zhou Yi, as a professional singer, would not be able to say such things unless he was suffering from some serious illness. How could there be a concert singer who couldn't sing? Is he still a serious singer?

But he just said that, and he was not mentally ill, so the meaning was self-evident.

"You'd better spare me. My level would embarrass you if I went up there. You really want to do whatever you want." Although she was somewhat tempted, Cheng Hao, who was obviously worried that she would mess up Zhou Yi's concert, still shook her head and chose to refuse.

Others were guests to show their talents, but she would really make a fool of herself if she went up there.

"If you need someone to be a guest, I can help you contact Liu Ruoyin. I think she should be happy to help."

Speaking of this, Cheng Hao also thought of Liu Ruoyin, the actual leading actress of the drama "Sex and the City".

Because of Zhou Yi, Liu Ruoyin took good care of her when she was in the crew. She is also a veteran queen. When Zhou Yi first debuted, she was inseparable from her "Later".

Although it was the novel style of "Happy Worship" that laughed in the end and won the victory of the song of the year. But as time goes by, although "Happy Worship" is still popular, its emotional aftereffect on the audience is obviously not as good as "Later", which can be regarded as the best lyricist candidate of the century in pop music.

For Chinese songs, the importance and value of lyrics are visibly rising, which is reflected in the song "Later". The reason why it is so touching and has such a strong aftereffect is the invincible lyrics.

"Liu Ruoyin, I still need you to contact me, why don't you just call Rolling Stone directly."

Zhou Yi curled his lips in disdain: "How about this, you don't sing, okay?"

"Ah? I don't sing?"

Cheng Hao paused: "Then what am I going to do? Perform acrobatics and break rocks with my chest?"

"Can you play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?"

"... Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?"

Zhou Yi's question made Cheng Hao immediately think of the children's song that has been popular all over the world for more than two centuries.

In terms of popularity, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" is invincible as a children's song. The lyrics of "Twinkle, twinkle little star" are not only familiar to most Chinese people, but also used by Chinese people to create many jingles according to local conditions.

"I, sing nursery rhymes at your concert? To comfort my son?" Imagining that scene, Cheng Hao couldn't help laughing.

"Of course not singing, I want you to play it on the piano."

Zhou Yi burped after finishing his noodles, poached eggs and vegetables: "The prelude of this song is very simple. The piano is completely played by beginners with their eyes closed after they become proficient. Follow me."

After saying that, Zhou Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks and pulled Cheng Hao to the piano room.

do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si

The seven most basic scales in the modern music system, and the piano score of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" can be said to be able to be played with two fingers - do, do, sol, sol, la, la, sol...

After Zhou Yi demonstrated it first, Cheng Hao, hesitant and a little curious, began to press the keys one by one according to the slow-motion sequence Zhou Yi had just shown -

"Occasionally" if she forgot, Zhou Yi would immediately grab her hand and correct it to the correct key position.

"Yes, that's it..."
