China Entertainment 2000

It did not rain in London on June 10. The heavy fog on the Thames River was dispersed by the scorching sun, revealing the appearance of this famous financial city from top to bottom.

Zhou Yi, who had taken off his blindfold, ate the breakfast served by the beautiful room attendant with eyes full of spring water after washing up. He looked out the window at the buildings in London that were exactly the same as what he remembered in his mind, and his eyes were blank.

There is no way, maybe this woman is considered a beauty in the eyes of the British, but she is really not his cup of tea.

If only a hot Page 3 girl from The Sun had come over, he would have accepted the little note.

"Remember to attend Arsenal's unbeaten season event the day after tomorrow. It is specially held to welcome you. At that time, head coach Arsene Wenger will also give you a special edition commemorative jersey exclusive to the unbeaten season..."

After having dinner early, Qian Jiang held his watch and pushed open the door to Zhou Yi's room, repeating his recent itinerary in London——

First of all, he must use the miracle of Arsenal's unbeaten season to win the championship as a gimmick to participate in various activities. After all, Arsenal's publicity ambassador;

The second is to accept exclusive interviews with news including TV stations such as Sky News and BBC.

Finally, I just participated in some radio programs and music programs, played songs, gained exposure, and practiced skydiving by the way.

Yes, skydiving.

"I have concretized your idea into a detailed plan and submitted it to the relevant departments in London. According to the news from the CEO of Warner UK, it will be approved in about two days, so you can officially submit the training for skydiving. Schedule."

Qian Jiang was still a little worried when talking about this: "I read some relevant information fragments, and there are still risks. Why don't you change your mind and stop skydiving?"

"Don't worry, I will give up if the training doesn't work by then."

Zhou Yi, who was eating cod meat, chuckled: "I'm just giving it a try. I won't suffer any loss if I try it."

As for how to calculate the cost of renting a helicopter if it is abandoned halfway...

The answer is no one cares.

Warner's British headquarters had even booked the relevant coaching staff, aircraft equipment, and maintenance personnel for Zhou Yi before he came, and they were waiting for him to start work at any time after his arrival.

What?

Waste of money?

What I, Warner, don’t lack most right now is money!

As the world's number one sales holder for two consecutive years, Zhou Yi has brought great brand effect to the independent Warner Records. Especially after becoming a shareholder of New Warner, everyone knows that as long as nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Yi will The future will be rooted in Warner.

Therefore, after independence, Warner Records' influence on the industry, music lovers and college students has not even declined but increased.

Warner is the first choice for all musicians who have confidence in themselves to enter the industry or change jobs.

This is the benchmarking role of Dinghai Shenzhen.

The departure of Queen Madonna not only did not shake the foundation of Warner Records, but instead enabled Zhou Yi to "one word" without creating any double-talk situation;

The original business cooperation continued to increase when the contract renewal was negotiated before the expiration of the contract. Everyone wanted to continue to bind Warner to the booming tree. Even the former parent company Time Warner was in some fields. Gotta pay Warner Records—

Although you were my parent company, now we are separate.

"I will take you to familiarize yourself with Warner's UK headquarters first, and then they will send someone to take us to the parachute training base to apply for relevant documents. There are professional coaches waiting for you there, and it is said that they are retired British Royal Air Force."

As an old Hong Konger, Qian Jiang is very familiar with this name.

"Okay, I hope he's not a loser."

Zhou Yi wiped his fingers noncommittally, and after changing his clothes, Zhou Yi, in a suit and leather shoes, followed Qian Jiang to Warner's UK headquarters.

As a father and son conjugated with the United States, the British Warner headquarters in 2004 was still very branchy, and its territory was the only one among so many branches in the world that was comparable in size to the American headquarters——

In London, an international city where land is at a premium, there are six buildings connected together to form the Warner Music District.

"The coach can be changed, but the loser can be replaced. Compared to him, I think you still care more about the BBC's TV interview with you..."

Qian Jiang warned Zhouyi about the minefields that might appear at that time, which ones must be avoided and which ones can be answered implicitly——

He is not afraid that the BBC will explode, but he is afraid that Zhou Yi will explode.

With Zhou Yi's current size and influence, one wrong sentence may turn into a major incident with the help of major British media. How many people want to eat his human blood steamed buns with their jobs in hand.

Such as Maradona's "Hand of God".

Due to Dai Ying's consistent lack of virtue, this should be regarded as the most influential misjudgment in the history of world football. Instead, it has become a public opinion tool used by media in other countries around the world to ridicule Dai Ying.

Usually when it comes to misjudgment, everyone hates it, but when it came to Maradona, it was glorified into something like "God scored this goal through Maradona's hand", and even later there were a lot of people who took advantage of the situation. The British media themselves have begun to blame the hand of God.

If you can't beat it, just join.

But as a Chinese, Zhou Yi has no need to get himself trapped in this meaningless whirlpool of public opinion.

At Warner's UK headquarters, all the senior executives who knew that the emperor was coming were well prepared to receive him. Many employees were looking forward to it, and many of them thought they were underappreciated and wanted to take shortcuts.

But what disappointed them was that Zhou Yi had no intention of staying at the headquarters for too long. After the customary remarks and group photos, Zhou Yi followed Warner executives to the scheduled training base.

………………………………

"Relax, Eva, believe in yourself. If you want to master skydiving, you have to overcome the fear in your heart so that you can enjoy the joy and satisfaction this project brings to you, do you understand what I mean? ?”

In a certain training base, looking at the clients sitting on the bench with their heads immersed in their arms, the fully equipped female coach sighed and encouraged.

I guess this order is gone.

She has seen too many such customers.

They are customers of this high-end training base because they are in a bad mood and want to experience excitement; they listen to friends’ experiences on a whim; film and television actors and singers want to film movies or music videos, etc.

Although the French woman in front of her is an actress, she is obviously not a big star, but a young person who makes literary films and comes from a pretty good family. I came to learn skydiving just to relieve my depression, and to experience the feeling of falling from the sky and emptying my body and brain.

As a result... I was somewhat afraid of heights.

Why don't you make a fuss?

"Thank you, I know, I'm just not in a good state recently and need to adjust my mentality."

The woman known as Eva took a deep breath. When she looked up again, her face had regained its calm expression. She smiled and said, "I have a lot of time in the past month or so. I think I should be able to control it."

?

Not dropping the course?

The coach was surprised.

"and you--"

"I just need to adjust myself. We will still have the same time tomorrow."

"ok."

The coach nodded, and after making sure she was fine, he left with peace of mind, leaving Eva, who was wearing an off-white suit, sitting on the bench, biting her red lips and looking unwilling.

Damn it!

Eva Green looked gloomy.

Her face was already fierce and bitter, and she looked even more fierce when her face was grim and gloomy.

Her original intention was to learn skydiving so that she could vent her psychological pressure, but it turned out that it was better now that she failed to learn skydiving, which made her already depressed mood even worse.

"Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to hear this. You go ahead and let me go shopping alone."

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi, listen to me, this is too dangerous, this is not suitable for you to try. You listen to me, let's try another way, okay?"

"..."

The voices of two men attracted Eva's attention——

Looking along the direction from which the sound came, two men, one fat and one normal-sized, came into view immediately.

She didn't recognize the fat one, but she recognized the normal-sized man who was over 1.8 meters tall at a glance: the extremely popular singer Spike.

"Listen to me, this is absolutely not possible. It's too dangerous. Ayi, ultra-low-altitude skydiving is completely an extreme sport."

Qian Jiang's tone softened: "You can't choose this. Our first plan is to do ordinary skydiving."

"Believe me, old money, if I think it won't work, then I will definitely give up. Besides, some protective measures can also be laid at the concert site."

Knowing that Qian Jiang was also worried about him, Zhou Yi smiled and patted his shoulder. From the corner of his eye, he also caught a glimpse of the long-legged woman sitting on the bench——

Coincidentally, this woman also seemed to notice Zhou Yi's gaze falling on her legs after sweeping over it, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.

When their eyes met, Zhou Yi did not feel any embarrassment about being caught. Instead, he began to appreciate it openly: "I'm sorry to disturb you, madam."

"You're welcome, this is a public area."

Eva Green tilted her head noncommittally: "You have the right, Mr. Spike."

"It seems I'm quite famous in the UK."

Zhou Yi, who put one hand in his pocket, chuckled: "Spike Zhou."

"Eva, Eva Green."

The woman shrugged: "Also, I'm French."

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "I'm sorry."

He said he was sorry, but his gesture had nothing to do with apologizing.

Eva Green, nicknamed Green Baby.

Zhou Yi only had three impressions of this woman——

The Malicious Flower from France: So named because of her screen appearance.

Explosive figure: The model is 1.7 meters tall, with big breasts and long legs.

And, Bond girl.

In Daniel Craig's first movie "007: Casino Royale" as James Bond, Eva Green defeated many competitors in multiple auditions and won the heroine position——

Then, she created the most unforgettable Bond girl in this generation of 007 series.

"You continue."

Eva Green nodded to Qian Jiang and said hello. To Qian Jiang's expectation, she actually turned around and left after saying goodbye.

He walked very neatly, without any sloppiness.

"It's rare that there is an actress who doesn't exchange contact information with you when we meet." Qian Jiang joked as he watched the other party walk away.

He still had some impression of this woman.

Last year, her first starring role in the literary film "Paris" directly ignited the entire French literary and art world, and gained a great reputation. She is an outstanding actress who interprets obscure metaphors both brightly and darkly with her outstanding acting skills.

Zhou Yi was not familiar with this movie.

In his previous life, he only knew about this movie because after "The Winter" was released, some people complained that the threesome in this movie was not as good as "A Dream in Paris", and the movie itself did not have as strong a social and political metaphor and satire as "A Dream in Paris". metaphor.

"I'm not a heartthrob. Besides, I'm just a singer. We're not in the same industry as her."

Zhou Yi sneered: "That's it for ultra-low-altitude skydiving. Let's see the training effect first..."

Although he has a 007 filter for Eva Green, he doesn't take the initiative. Although this woman has a good figure, what can I say about her face... In his opinion, she looks gloomy and evil.

This is why her later movie roles were either evil femme fatales or gloomy female nerves, and they were almost finalized.

Although there is also Weinstein’s cauldron in this.

After entering Hollywood, Eva Green's second movie "Casino Royale" became a global hit. As a Bond girl, her popularity skyrocketed. However, the resources she received later shocked her fans, and her popularity plummeted. .

In the words of the domestic fan circle, it is why my sister’s resources are so abusive.

When the Weinstein case broke out and Eva Green stood up to support those actresses, the public finally understood the reason - Weinstein had been pursuing the Bond girl frantically for several months, but Eva Green's response was always It's rejection.

Therefore, to this woman who had rejected him for several months, Weinstein directly threatened that Eva Green would not be able to get ahead in Hollywood as long as he was around.

Since then, Eva Green, who has absolutely no foundation in Hollywood, has lost a lot of film exposure just after she became popular. Most of the roles that would make her popular around the world in the future will not give her the opportunity to audition.

By the time the Weinstein scandal came to light, Eva Green was getting older and her popularity had already plummeted. Hollywood's commercial blockbusters no longer remember this Bond girl, favoring the rising stars——

No one in this world can stay young forever, but there are always a steady stream of young people.

……………………

On the night of the 11th, during prime time, Eva Green, who was resting in a resort hotel, turned on the TV and happened to see an interview with British Sky News’ Zhouyi News——

"Spike, many people compare you to Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones, and the Beatles. Do you think these praises are excessive? Will they put great pressure on you?"

"Psychological pressure? No, not at all."

On the TV screen, Zhou Yi, who was wearing a blue striped suit, stretched his arms on the back of the sofa, crossed his legs and looked like he was sitting on the sofa in his living room. He joked: "Look at me, I look like I have something." Stressful?”

After opening a bottle of beer and taking several sips, Eva Green's hand that was planning to jump stopped on the remote control. She narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the relaxed-looking man on the screen.

"No one in this world can stay young forever, but there will always be a steady stream of young people appearing, and I am this young person."

"You mean, do you think you will be replaced in a few years?"

"No, I'm an exception."

Facing the camera, Zhou Yi raised his right index and middle fingers, which looked like a V gesture: "If they want to replace me, they are still 20,000 years too early."

host:"……"

Guest host: "..."

Qian Jiang in the audience: "..."

Eva Green in the hotel room opened her mouth slightly and stared at the unabashed man on the TV in astonishment.
