China Entertainment 2000

"You know nothing! Zhou Yijun never lies to others!"

"That's right, these people will only be jealous."

"Haha, there are not more than a hundred medium and large record stores in the United States that are willing to play only Utada Hikaru's MV to build her momentum. She has obviously been blinded by past marketing..."

With her fingers tapping on the keyboard, Yui Aragaki, who was in front of the computer, transformed into a historian of justice and directly revealed the methods used by Utada Hikaru in the so-called "Light Step War"——

Hundreds of physical record stores across Japan are promoting Utada Hikaru in various regions, including but not limited to intensive promotion, free mobile phones for buying albums, etc., and even playing Utada Hikaru's song MVs around the clock.

Who can withstand this?

Hamasaki, who failed to win physical channels, turned to online networks.

She also gave away mobile phones for promotion, but in Japan, online channels were still unable to raise their heads and were firmly suppressed by entities. In the end, she lost to Utada Hikaru by a gap of nearly 200,000.

No one knows how much money EMI spent to win this war for Hikaru Utada, but Ayumi Hamasaki fans are always unconvinced, thinking that it was nothing more than giving money to shout out. After all, offline channels work so hard for you, wouldn’t it be charity if they don’t suck blood afterward?

As a die-hard fan of Zhou Yi, Yui Aragaki quickly found the breaking point when her idol set the pace, and directly revealed how Utada Hikaru's fans won the Hikaru Battle. He even learned how to join forces vertically and horizontally to attract Ayumi Hamasaki fans to support him——

"Gakki, have you grabbed the spot for the meet-and-greet?"

She was fighting fiercely on the Internet. Suddenly, the anxious voice of her model friend from the magazine came from behind -

Gakki, this nickname was also given to her by a senior in the magazine after she entered "Nicola" magazine and became their exclusive model.

Because the pronunciation is very in line with Japanese habits, gakki also replaced her own name and gradually spread in her social circle and fan circle.

In a sense, she is no longer online using her real name.

"No, I don't have any hope. I'll just wait for the third-party tickets to come out and buy them."

Yui Aragaki, who had full confidence in his hand speed, crossed out the page and then turned to look at his friend who came in. After the latter saw the pile of potato chips and jelly snacks and Coke and Sprite game consoles in front of her desk, she couldn't help but hold her forehead——

"Gakki, how come you can stay at home all day long?"

"It's okay. The filming work is so tiring. I definitely don't want to leave after taking a break."

Yui Aragaki even took an unopened bag of potato chips and invited her: "Do you want them?"

"No, I can't eat these recently because I have to go on camera to film a TV series."

The friend waved her hand to refuse, and then excitedly hugged her shoulders: "Gakki, I grabbed it, there are still two tickets. I was afraid that you would buy other people's tickets, so I hurried over to find you."

"Really? Thank you!"

Aragaki Yui's eyes suddenly shone.

On August 15, Warner will hold a grand fan meeting for Zhou Yi in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, with almost 1,000 people. This will also be Zhou Yi's last event in Japan. After this, Zhou Yi, who is currently causing great controversy in Japan, will leave Japan and return to China to start preparing for the MV shooting of his new album.

It can be said that this should be the last chance to see Zhou Yi in Japan this year.

It is precisely because of this that the tickets for this fan meeting are all given away for free by Warner. As long as members have joined the Zhouyi Fan Support Club for more than one year, they can go to the official website to grab them based on their fan status.

Warner will cover transportation, food and accommodation, fans just need to grab tickets.

Japan's developed fandom culture gave Warner the confidence to release tickets only through the Internet. Yui Aragaki also tried to grab it, but she watched helplessly as the time was up and the button lit up - just once, and then immediately turned off... …

This is a robbery, she can only watch it eagerly.

She was already prepared for a big loss. After all, this was the only opportunity to face her idol. She happened to have saved some money after working as a model, and her coffers were full. Unexpectedly, she actually saved some money.

"By the way, I heard that Zhou Yi's new album MV shooting will not be limited to China. Why don't you bring your own magazine there? Maybe he will take a chance."

——? !

Aragaki Yui's ears immediately stood up after catching the keyword——

Give Zhouyi the opportunity to be a model in his MV?

She is familiar with being a model, but now she is no longer new to the modeling industry.

"It's impossible. For someone as popular as Zhou Yi, it's definitely not his own responsibility if he wants to shoot a MV." After the brief surprise, Yui Aragaki immediately shook his head: "How could he have time to take care of this?"

……………………

"Yes, Zhou Yi really doesn't have much time recently. You can just watch and deal with these things."

Warner Building, in the lounge.

After hanging up the phone, Qian Jiang glanced at Zhou Yi, who was reading various news, and came up to report the news to him: "Ayi, you probably haven't authorized the domestic 21st Century Publishing House to use your name, right? ?”

"Twenty-first Century Publishing House?"

Zhou Yi, who was reading the gossip, was confused: "No, what's wrong?"

"They published a novel called "Whose Zhouyi" in your name, and directly used your name to create a lot of content in the book, which is suspected of infringement."

"..."

What the hell?

Zhou Yi was stunned.

If I remember correctly, this publishing house is quite famous, and it is from Jiangxi.

Why are fellow villagers looking for fellow villagers, right?

"You just watch and deal with it. Anyway, there are too many infringements. One more is not more, one less is not more."

Zhou Yi waved his hand indifferently.

Qian Jiang came to ask him, probably because the predecessor of 21st Century Publishing House was from Jiangxi, and it might involve someone who had personally approached him before asking if he had any authorization.

"Also, there is one more thing. Jay Chou is currently involved in some rumors about you in China. Remember not to talk nonsense when you return to China."

Thinking of another thing reported by his colleague, Qian Jiang said seriously.

"About me?" Zhou Yi folded the newspaper and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Isn't he "quarreling" with Utada Hikaru here in Japan?

"Do you still remember your "In the Name of the Father" last year? Jay Chou's new album was released on July 31 this year. There is a song in the album called "Double Knife". Under the joint arrangement of Holliday and Sony, Jay Chou was arranged to He went to Hollywood and directly starred in a musical short film called "Double Knife".

"Sony's promotion format is very similar to your "In the Name of the Father". The difference is that your "In the Name of the Father" has already caught up with a big movie, so some people in China are currently accusing him of groping. You cross the river..."

Since Holliday itself did not have the distribution capabilities, after acquiring Alpha Records, Jay Chou's record distribution work in the Mainland, Taiwan and Taiwan was handed over to Sony.

Sony, on the other hand, is used to path dependence.

This gave many people the opportunity to look down upon them, thinking that Sony and Holliday were trying to copy Zhou Yi's successful model from Jay Chou, and that they also wanted to use the "Double Knife" music micro-movie to break into the American market. The chosen theme was traditional Chinese. And the most popular kung fu theme in Europe and America——

"Fighting gangsters with Chinese kung fu, Jay Chou enters Hollywood with two swords!" 》

This title is enough to explain everything about this music short film...
