China Entertainment 2000

As a crossover singer who became a monk on the way, Yuka Saegashi has been criticized for her singing skills since her debut last year——

You have to have good singing skills and good looks, and you have to have good looks and good looks. In short, the main thing is to have good looks.

Although she has improved her singing skills a little bit through training in various offline small theaters, she is obviously still far away from being a truly talented and top singer.

It is precisely because of this that after seeing Zhou Yi, in addition to being excited, she also had uncontrollable curiosity.

As we all know, Zhou Yi’s forehead has been shining with the light of a top talent monster since his debut——

He was born in Yeluzi and had never received any professional training before. He even learned his music knowledge from reading books for free in Xinhua Bookstore. His voice function is purely a gift from God, and it is ridiculously strong.

Some people even claim that as long as he calms down and studies for five or six years, he will be able to reach the top of the world's top male pop singer in the field of singing.

If only a few people or even a handful of people say this, it can be attributed to Warner's marketing, but this matter is basically a matter of professionals who have worked with Zhou Yi or heard him sing live, no matter how much they hate him. I have to hold my nose and admit that this statement does make sense.

Saegashi Yukari was naturally very curious about whether this was true, and what the so-called God chasing after the throat function of feeding food meant.

Then she was shocked.

In the first two days of rehearsals with Zhou Yi, she fully realized what it means to compare people to death, and to compare goods with others. Especially when it came to singing the rock songs in her second major, she had also learned it privately, but she was never as good at handling it as Zhou Yi -

Due to the special nature of the scene, the listening experience is even better than the album.

Especially in the area of ​​impromptu key changes, Zhou Yi can be said to be able to give her a great sense of surprise every rehearsal.

"Unbelievable, jaw-dropping performance, Zhou Yijun."

On the afternoon of August 13, in a small performance hall in Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

After playing the last song again, keyboard player Yuka Saegashi stood up from her seat sincerely, and together with other members of her band, applauded the man from the bottom of her heart.

After rehearsing together for the past few days, she was still a little embarrassed in front of Zhou Yi. Now she no longer felt any nervousness. She seemed very relaxed. Zhou Yi's easy-going level was far beyond her imagination. He could even be said not to be a superstar at all. shelf.

This is very favorable to Saegusa Yukari, who is currently considered a newcomer in the Japanese entertainment industry. Japan's perverted and harsh workplace culture of juniors and juniors has really tortured her.

"Although, I still don't quite adapt to your exaggerated expression in front of me."

Zhou Yi put down the microphone and took the water and towel handed over by his assistant. After wiping the sweat on his forehead with a smile, he unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip: "Won't you be tired if you keep doing this all the time?"

"We are used to cheering on our seniors."

Saegusa Yuka smiles very sweetly, she is the kind of superior Japanese sweet girl: "Besides, Zhou Yijun, your performance is really great, isn't it?"

Even though several other members of the band did not speak English, Saegusa Yuka, as a primary school bully, was able to communicate freely with Zhou Yi in English, and the relationship between the two was no longer as strange as when they first met.

"Indeed, compliments from beautiful girls are always more satisfying than those from big men."

Zhou Yi, who had a towel on his shoulders, smiled and said hello to several others, then turned and left without hesitation, waving to them without looking back: "Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest quickly. Everyone."

I also invited the approachable Zhou Yi to see if he was free to have afternoon tea with Sanzhi Xixia. She swallowed the words that came to her lips and stared at the man's leaving back with eyes full of pity.

There are not many opportunities to have dinner with idols, especially since Zhou Yi is not Japanese, and he is not sure when he will come to Japan next time.

"Ayi, how was the rehearsal?"

"Almost, I'm familiar with the process, and I can go back to China after singing."

Zhou Yi, who returned to Warner by car, opened the door to the lounge and saw Qian Jiang sitting on the sofa with a folder. His response was full of laziness: "What are you looking at? Warner Japan still has Is there a document I need you to see?”

"No, it came from China."

Qian Jiang smiled and closed the folder in his hand, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it in front of him: "It's about the role selection for your new album MV."

Although Zhou Jianhui, the chief director of the "Gui Zang" album, still chose the cheap and easy-to-use Ning Hao due to compensatory reasons, but according to Zhou Yi's consistent character, all the songs in the album had to be shot in MVs.

This is the only operation in the Chinese music scene that he has continued since his debut until now. He has released three Chinese albums, one EP, and two English albums without exception.

"What happened to the casting? Are you going to help me select a concubine?" Zhou Yi chuckled nonchalantly.

"Don't say it, you really don't say it."

Qian Jiang was also happy when he heard this: "That's indeed what the Hong Kong media said."

Because today is different from the past, after Warner Bros. in China announced that it would start selecting female characters for Zhou Yi's new album MV, all kinds of self-recommendations suddenly came to Warner like snowflakes, and there were even many favor votes among them——

Everyone wants to be the next "Easy Girl".

Especially after Wang Xinling and Lin Yichen from Taiwan became popular this year, there were even more people who were jealous of Zhouyi metaphysics.

Hong Kong models and young actors crowded in like crazy——

Man, he is arrogant, but he can really make people famous.

Nowadays, "Yi Girl" has become completely popular. Even many mainland actresses expressed in interviews that they would star in the Zhouyi MV.

"I have never seen anyone with such fierce competition for the position of their MV role. You are really the only Scorpion Baba." Qian Jiang was puzzled by this and couldn't help scratching his head when talking about it. .

This is very evil.

"So, these are all candidates for female roles in the MV?"

Zhou Yi, who had his legs crossed, reached out and picked up the document. After opening it, he didn't recognize the first person who caught his eye.

Qian Jiang nodded: "This group has been screened for several rounds, and only this batch is left. Their resumes and evaluations of them are written under the photos. You can see who is used."

Finally, he added: "Those women who are models basically have the title of beauty pageant champion, and they are all from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, and Macau."

The more Zhou Yi listened, the weirder his face became - no wonder the Hong Kong media said he had chosen a concubine.

His grandma’s fault is all Warner’s fault! Let's do something that can always turn the public opinion of the matter into a wrong direction!

His intentions were good, but Warner's execution went wrong.

"Don't tell me that this stack is filled with the first, second and third place winners of the beauty pageant."

"That's not true. There are also hosts and actors." Qian Jiang said cheerfully, "There are still people who want to apologize."

Zhou Yi immediately pricked up his ears after hearing the last sentence, and a little doubt appeared on his brow: "Apologise?"

"Do you still remember the idol drama I told you after the Golden Melody Award?"

Qian Jiang looked self-conscious when talking about this matter: "I told you at the time that even Qiong Yao's "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" is no exception, right?"

"so?"

"After you won the Golden Melody Award, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" was still stuck. The other party asked several times and the answer was that everything was normal and the process was going through. Then, Qiong Yao and her daughter-in-law thought of you, After all, they have had conflicts with you before, and this time they are afraid that your old and new grudges will be dealt with. They have invested a lot in this drama. "

There was obvious schadenfreude in Qian Jiang's tone: "So, I don't know if they think you are causing trouble or if they think the "Huan Zhu Princess 3" is playing "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" to help you vent your anger, they all want to repair the relationship with you.

"For this reason, knowing that you are going to shoot a new album MV, I specially asked an actress who has a very high reputation from Qiong Yao to come and compete for the opportunity to perform. It is also a bow to you and the first to show goodwill. This person was in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" "I also played a role in it."

Zhouyi was amused——

This is some kind of bullying behavior, but he likes it.

"Who did you send here?"

"The character who is very popular with Qiong Yao in "Huan Zhu Princess 3" is called Qin Lan, and the character she plays is called Zhi Hua. Qiong Yao herself speaks highly of her, saying that one of her tears is like a star in the sky."

"..."

What the hell?

who?

Zhou Yi paused while flipping through the resume in his hand - is she still in My Fair Princess 3?

"...Why do you think the more you listen to me, the more I sound like some evil landlord? I've always been pure and clean, okay?"

Zhou Yi, who heard this, rolled his eyes immediately. Zhou Yi, who quickly turned to Qin Lan's page, also saw this person's current resume - well, he was just starting out, and "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" was the first movie she received. Big production.

Now it’s really time to act like a kid——

Miss Qin, you don't want "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3", which made you an instant hit, not to be aired, right?

Inexplicably, this sentence popped up in Zhou Yi's head, making him sigh in his heart.

He can't stay in Japan any longer, his pure thoughts have been polluted.

"What do you think? Do you want to give her a contract?"

"Qiong Yao has taken the initiative to bow her head, so it doesn't matter. We all need actors anyway, and it doesn't matter who plays the role." Zhou Yi, who never expected that this awesome old woman would take the initiative to bow her head, laughed.

That is to say, Liu Tao himself did not sign a contract with Qiong Yao's company because of his bad relationship with Qiong Yao, so he was unable to star in "My Fair Princess 3". Otherwise, I'm afraid Qiong Yao would have sent her to plead for mercy.

"Is there anything else that needs special attention?"

"There is one from Taiwan, named Chen Qiaoen, who is a host. She hosts a program called "China is So Big". She often travels around the mainland and Taiwan to record travel materials from various parts of the country for this program."

Seeing Zhou Yi taking the initiative to ask, Qian Jiang also mentioned another person: "She debuted in 2001 and started hosting this show in 2002. Originally everything was stable and going well, but this year she offended her company boss and is currently being directly punished. Hidden in snow.

"She wanted to come back, but there was no hope of hosting the show for the time being, so she found an intermediary and contacted people in the company, hoping to get a chance to star in your music video to gain fame for herself."

After hearing the name, Zhou Yi quickly flipped through his resume and soon saw a photo of Chen Qiaoen, one of the future queens of idol dramas——

The first thing that caught his eye was the pair of irritating giant thunders.

She really knows how to highlight her strengths.

Considering that this person's fame would be able to continue his "metaphysical mythology" in the future, Zhou Yi also took out her resume and put it together with Qin Lan's.

The rest... anyway, so far, he hasn't seen any familiar faces——

Um?

While he was flipping through his resume like an HR, another familiar face caught his eye.

Tang Yan, born on December 6, 1983, participated in the third Shulei Century Star Beauty Contest in 2001 when she was 18 years old, and won the championship in one fell swoop...

Tang Yan, one of the most evergreen domestic entertainment female stars in the future, appeared in front of him in an unexpected way.

"This one is still in school at the Chinese Theater Academy. Although she is said to be a beauty pageant champion, she is not very busy with her business. At most she is filming commercials and working as a model. But it is said that she hopes to go to the Olympics. Zhang Yimou said that she wants to get a lot of girls. Wear a cheongsam.

"If she is successfully selected by then, you will continue to cooperate on the eight-minute Olympic Games in Athens next year."

Eight minutes for the Olympics is okay.

Zhou Yi also pulled out her resume.

Although she is not worthy of her name in terms of her age of 85 in the future, Tang Yan's future fame is indeed unquestionable - she is popular enough and meets the standards.

As for the Olympics...if I remember correctly, she seemed to have actually been selected for the eight-minute Olympics. Although there weren't many scenes, it was a group performance.

As for the champions and runners-up of several beauty pageants in Hong Kong...

To be honest, Zhou Yi frowned when he saw it: "Why has the beauty pageant in Hong Kong declined so much? What is this and what?"

Not to mention that none of them are famous, just that face and figure just don't look right.

It’s only been a few years since the beginning of the century. Are Hong Kong’s beauties so out of fashion?

"As the mainland's economy improves, naturally all the handsome guys and beauties will stay in the mainland. Who will drag their families to Hong Kong? Now is the time for Hong Kong capital to go north."

Qian Jiang, who was also a mainlander, shook his head: "You can look at other Hong Kong models. There are a few young models and models there who are pretty good, although they haven't participated in a beauty pageant yet."

Zhou Yi flipped through it, and sure enough, this time he finally saw two familiar faces——

One is named Yang Ying and the other is named Wen Yongshan.

Yang Ying has not yet evolved into a complete artificial human body, but Wen Yongshan has completed fine-tuning.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment, then pulled out the page of Wen Yongshan's resume and threw it on top of Tang Yan, Qin Lan and Chen Qiaoen's three copies——

Yang Ying is still too ugly, or he hasn't reached his aesthetic point yet, so forget it.

"Just these four, you can contact them."
