China Entertainment 2000

"You can contact him, but there is no need to sign him so quickly. He is in high spirits right now."

Regarding the blueprint planned by Qianjiang, Zhou Yi thought about it for a while and shook his head gently: "Sending help in the snow is better than adding icing on the cake."

For Li Jian, 2003 was basically the beginning of his stepping down from the "altar".

Many people actually have a misunderstanding. They think that Li Jian is talented, so they automatically substitute the talented person from the original Shuimu Nianhua group. But in fact, during the Shuimunianhua period, Li Jian's creative ability did not rival Lu Gengxu's.

Among the two, the one who took the leading position in creation was actually Lu Gengxu.

The handed down classic "I Will Have You in My Life" was also written and composed by Lu Gengxu.

This is also the reason why Li Jian only formed a group with Lu Gengxu in 2001, but ended up parting ways with Lu Gengxu in the second half of 2002 - after becoming popular, he wanted to gain more control over album creation, but the company did not disagree.

Because none of the songs written by Li Jian himself can be called popular.

They both graduated from Tsinghua University and have creative abilities. One has written classic hits that have withstood the test of the market, and the other is not popular at all. Who can give the correct answer?

It is precisely because of this that Li Jian attaches great importance to his new album "Homecoming" released this year after signing with TEDA Audio. The success of this album will determine whether he can successfully prove himself.

But, if Zhou Yi remembers correctly, this album was a hit.

Although there is a song "Legend", due to TEDA's weak audio and video promotion capabilities, the song did not become a big hit - it was only sung in a small area.

This is also the biggest drawback in the era of physical records: without a company to promote it or a company with weak publicity and distribution capabilities, it is really difficult to become popular.

If Wang Fei had not sang the song "Legend" on the big platform of the Spring Festival Gala in the future, Li Jian might not have had a chance to turn around.

In order to make a living, Li Jian even sold the copyright of "Legend". But after Wang Fei became popular, the unknowing Wang Fei himself got into a copyright lawsuit——

Wang Fei himself was confused because "Legend" became a hit but got involved in a copyright lawsuit, because Wang Fei went directly to Li Jian for authorization.

Looking for Li Jian again, Li Jian's answer was that he forgot that he had sold the song.

But whether he really forgot or pretended to be confused is a matter of opinion.

"Aren't you optimistic about his new album?" Qian Jiang immediately became energetic after smelling the implication.

He can still argue with Zhou Yi in other aspects, but when it comes to music, there is no doubt that he will respect Zhou Yi.

“The days of ballads are over.”

Zhou Yi chuckled lightly, put on his headphones, and listened to the demo he had recorded: "Wenqing screams loudly because the current Internet has brought together the voices of a small number of people. It really takes a lot of money to buy the album." By then, they will understand why folk music has become a niche.”

Even Song Ke gradually abandoned folk songs in his own plans, which is enough to explain everything.

The most famous "folk singer" during this period actually exceeded many people's expectations - He Jiong.

In 2004, He Jiong's campus ballad "Gardenia Blossoms" has become the folk memory of many people. Its popularity is not inferior to that of "My Deskmate". It can be called a work that revitalized the confidence of the domestic ballad market——

Then there were a lot of folk singers who thought they saw hope, leaving the genre of folk songs to be just a living thing in the next few years.

However, it seems that He Jiong hasn’t started making an album yet?

After sending Qian Jiang away, Zhou Yi listened to the demo and confirmed that it was OK. He was about to start arranging the next song when a surprising phone call came in -

He Jiong.

"Zhou Yi, it's me, He Jiong..."

After connecting the phone, He Jiong's words that always make people feel refreshed came from the receiver.

…………………………

"How's it going, Teacher He?"

Imperial Capital, a large bar in Houhai, in a VIP box.

Qin Lan, who was quite nervous, looked at He Jiong who hung up the phone and asked in a low voice.

She has experienced a lot of intrigues since she first entered the entertainment industry. She has already lost a lot of the temperament of Shenyang big girls, and she looks like she has a bit of Jiangnan gracefulness.

"Don't worry, Zhou Yi is easy to talk to and has a good personality. Don't think of him as scary. Those are just rumors spread by uninformed people."

Seeing her like this, He Jiong was somewhat dumbfounded.

As a contracted artist under Hunan TV, the company has been busy since the news came from Warner that Qin Lan would audition. After all, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" is indeed a worry for many people.

"Just honestly say those words to him on behalf of Qiong Yao. Qiong Yao will hold a banquet to ask Zhou Yi for a specific apology in the future. You just need to regard yourself as an ambassador of peace."

As a well-rounded person, He Jiong smiled and pointed out: "The two countries are at war and they still haven't killed the envoys."

It is said to be an audition, but in fact anyone with a discerning eye in the relevant company can see that this is basically a multiple-choice question.

In order to leave a good impression on Zhou Yi, the leaders of Hunan TV's company specially found He Jiong, who was familiar with Zhou Yi, and asked him to help be a middleman and introduce the two parties to each other, so as to have a solid foundation.

After taking several deep breaths, Qin Lan, who was trying to calm down, couldn't help but nod.

Although she was dissatisfied with what her manager had secretly told her before, she really had no intention of falling in love with Zhou Yi -

Not because of anything else, but simply because the liquidated damages of up to 10 million yuan prevented her from even thinking about having a romantic relationship with Zhou Yi, a man with a high status.

In her contract with Hunan TV, there was a restrictive clause that prohibited her from falling in love.

"Then does he have any taboos?"

Qin Lan, who was still planning what topics he should prepare to talk about, asked about Zhou Yi's relevant information: "I'm not talking about the simple taboos that the agent told me."

"No."

He Jiong said about the Zhou Yi he knew: "He is quite elegant and easy-going."

Just as she was still rehearsing her opening words in her mind, there was a knock on the door of the box—

Zhou Yi, dressed in white T-shirts and denim sneakers, smiled and walked in. The first thing he felt was sunshine: "Teacher He, there are no classes today, and you are actually free to organize a game?"

"It's not like you don't know the Arabic I teach. If I were really busy, I wouldn't be able to fly to Changsha every week to record "Happy Camp."

He Jiong shook his head, and then introduced to Qin Lan on the side: "Let me introduce, this is Qin Lan, who has just signed with Hunan TV."

"Hello, I am Qin Lan. I like your songs very much..."

After coming back to his senses, Qin Lan suddenly forgot the dialogue he had rehearsed in his mind N times in his nervousness, and could only dryly introduce himself——

After saying that, she wanted to slap herself twice.

There is no way, Zhou Yi is really famous now.

For a transparent person like her who had just entered the entertainment industry for a few years, if she had not participated in the Qiong Yao drama, she might not have had the opportunity to have dinner at the same table with Zhou Yi.

"Are you Miss Qin?"

Zhou Yi looked her up and down. Qin Lan, who has not had any surgery on her face yet, has a traditional square face. This can be seen from her role as Zhi Hua. She is the kind of person who can be seen in her 20s. What does a teenager look like in his 40s with a mature face——

There is obvious flesh hanging from the mandible, and the sides of the cheeks are not streamlined.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not a monster." Zhou Yi, who noticed the coy and nervous attitude of this northeastern girl before he finished speaking, smiled and livened up the atmosphere: "How can we shoot the MV in this case? "

?

After hearing this, Qin Lan was still a little unable to react.

no……

Is this it?

What about the unspoken rules hinted by the agent?

Isn’t it said that Zhouyi has always been difficult to deal with?

Under He Jiong's long-sleeved and dancing greeting, the private room where the scene was never quiet burst into laughter for a while——

Especially when it comes to music.

"To be honest with you Zhou Yi, I do have the idea of ​​making an album. There are multiple channels and multiple paths. After all, who doesn't have a music dream in their heart?"

He Jiong, who doesn't need to be too cautious when facing Zhouyi, joked self-deprecatingly when talking about his current career: "Besides, it's not easy to be a host now."

Li Xiang has confirmed that she will officially leave Hunan TV after October this year and set up her own business. "Happy Camp", the current leading entertainment program in China, is also in a state of turmoil for a while -

After all, the original core of this show was supported by the core character Li Xiang.

Based on this background, it is understandable that He Jiong wants to try music. After all, he himself does not know how long he can last on "Happy Camp" without Li Xiang.

Hunan TV is famous for being quick at cutting programs.

"This is simple. If Mr. He wants to try the water, you can contact Warner. Warner is very busy recently."

Zhou Yi sipped his straw nonchalantly and joked: "We are missing a famous host like you to join us."

He Jiong released a record just because he was not clear about the future. He himself had no intention of pursuing a deep career in the music industry. Such a person could just be a "tool man".

"Gardenia Blossoms" is sitting there, just a casual thing.

When the time comes, let's start marketing "He can pull in any cross-industry host to bring the domestic folk circle to the top" and choke those "old and young" to death. Let's see if they still have some fun all day long. of.

He Jiong, who was just speaking his mind, never expected that he would be able to receive a helping hand from Zhou Yi without hesitation, and was somewhat moved.

After Li Xiang decided to leave, his future also became unclear. It was the first time that he tasted the harshness of the world in the entertainment industry. Many people in the entertainment industry who were willing to be friends with him in the past began to wait and see.

He could clearly feel it.

On the contrary, Zhou Yi, the biggest celebrity in his circle of friends, remained the same as before, his friendly attitude toward him had not changed at all, and he was even willing to support him when he was at his lowest point, and took the initiative to support him in a joking way. .

Such a man could actually be labeled as "arrogant", "willful" and "arrogant". Those reporters were simply fooled by lard!

As a human being, He Jiong rarely feels this kind of sincerity from the heart.

In order not to cause trouble to Zhou Yi, He Jiong did not agree immediately. After all, Qin Lan was still present. If this is agreed to, Zhou Yi will be embarrassed if Warner disagrees with wasting time on cooperation.

This is not what He Jiong, who is good at empathy, wants.

Young man Zhou Yi was so angry that he wanted to win over his friends. That was his business, and he had to be sensible.

Qin Lan, who was also aware of the big changes within Hunan Station, was just a little transparent who was serving tea and pouring water silently, but in his heart he looked at Zhou Yi with a little more suspicion——

In any case, this kind of character that is willing to help friends without saying a word is indeed a plus.

After eating and drinking, Qin Lan, who sent He Jiong away, was planning to find an opportunity to communicate privately with Zhou Yiduo as instructed by her manager, but she never thought that the latter would say goodbye to her without any regret——

"ah?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Lan was a little confused.

Doesn’t it mean that Zhouyi is recognized as a romantic?

After all, she is quite pretty, so why don't you have any interest in her?

"Oh, by the way, there's something I couldn't talk about just now since He Jiong was here."

Zhou Yi, who had saved Qin Lan's phone number, smiled and said to her: "The matter between me and Qiong Yao is just between the two of us. One is one, and two is two. I don't really like to be involved in the so-called Third party victim.”

Qin Lan: "..."

"So, when you go back, just say it's OK if I promise you to star."

Zhou Yi, who put his phone back in his pocket, smiled and shrugged. Under Qin Lan's hesitant gaze, he turned around and waved his hand without looking back: "Let's go, see you on the set then. "

"..."

After watching Zhou Yi walk out of the box, go down the stairs and disappear into the black limousine outside the bar, Qin Lan, who was standing at the railing on the second floor, lowered his head and glanced at the number he had just saved in the phone book - that was Zhou Yi's phone number. .

On the performance stage in the center of the bar downstairs, the resident singer plucked the strings and sang the hit song "Meet" from Sun Yanzi's latest album "Unfinished".

"I heard, winter left, I woke up in a certain month of a certain year~

"I think, I'm waiting, I'm looking forward to it, but the future can't be arranged like this~"

Qin Lan, who felt that Zhou Yi had overturned her impression, put her arms on the railing. Attracted by the singing, she turned her head and looked around. A thin girl was playing the song with emotion——

“Whoever I meet, what kind of dialogue will there be~

"The person I'm waiting for, how far in the future is he?

"I hear the wind, coming from the subway and the sea of ​​people~

"I'm standing in line, holding the number plate of love~"

………………………………

"Sounds good!"

Guangzhou, inside Tianhe Stadium.

After listening to the last rehearsal, Cheng Hao stood in the audience and applauded the good sisters singing on the stage.

Sun Yanzi, who was satisfied with his good condition, couldn't help but point in the direction of Cheng Hao off the stage, gave her a Wink, and grinned playfully.
