The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 467 He Ignites the World with His Youth

She was a top student at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and she prided herself on being smarter than others. But she never expected that she would fall short in the face of SARS.

Who knew this thing would be so serious.

When Sun Yanzi thought about the fact that the shameful unequal terms would expire before June, which was certified by himself, he wanted to find a river to jump into.

Careless.

The sudden outbreak of SARS was unethical and attacked her, a young comrade in her twenties.

If time could go back, she would definitely want to go back to that night and give herself a few hard kicks for being so disappointing.

"You don't have to cook for me at noon. I won't be back for lunch."

After helping to wash the dishes, Zhou Yi took off his apron and said to the two women, one tidying up the cupboards and countertops and the other mopping the floor: "Someone from Tencent is coming. As the host, I have to treat them to a meal."

Tencent, the company that was planning to announce in June this year that it would make the QQ software free again on its third anniversary in order to cope with numerous challengers in the market, contacted him immediately after he returned to China.

After Zhou Yi won the Grammy and made it to the entire Billboard Hot List, Tencent was eager to sign a contract with Zhou Yi immediately - but also regretted why they had to wait in the first place.

Because Qianjiang has raised its prices locally.

The same endorsement, winning a Grammy and five album titles or not, will have two different prices.

After all, you are an international superstar and you are not short of money. Your QQ’s reputation has plummeted because of the charges. How can you not give more?

Besides, Zhou Yi is also required to write a promotional song, so won’t that cost more money?
In order to show his sincerity, Pony Ma, as the boss, even personally brought his confidants to the capital to meet Zhou Yi, and planned to publicly announce in the name of Tencent that the company would cooperate with Zhou Yi as an endorsement after Zhou Yi's celebration party.

2000 million per year, a total of 8000 million RMB for four years plus a song, directly breaking the historical record of endorsement fees for domestic celebrities endorsing domestic products.

The previous record was Zhou Yi’s 4000 million contract with Sohu News.

Just double it.

At the lunch, when Xiao Ma Ge saw Zhou Yi, he was the one who took the initiative to raise his glass to toast him.

"Ayi, I respect you."

The little brother with classic plaid shirt and skin is approaching.

The Xiao Ma Ge in 2003 was still the real Xiao Ma Ge. In the photos with Sohu's Lao Zhang, he always stood in the corner like a minion.

Last year, the company's profit was only over 200 million RMB. If Zhou Yi's income last year was converted into RMB, taking into account the separate tax reduction and exemption policies, it might be close to 1 billion RMB, or even more.

In addition, Zhou Yi's Guiyi has already made a name for himself through the three Internet companies NetEase, Sina, and Foxmail. He can be regarded as the original angel investor in the circle who has been willing to support Internet companies since the bubble period. Pony Ma is still very knowledgeable about background checks.

In terms of money-making ability, Zhou Yi alone made more profit last year than the combined profits of several asset-light Internet companies like them. Anyone who sees him would have to call him daddy.

"Mr. Ma, you're welcome."

Feeling deeply impressed by the wonders of the world, Zhou Yi accepted Xiao Ma's toast with peace of mind.

On May 5, when Xiao Ma Ge, who came specially to congratulate Zhou Yi, arrived at the hotel venue, he also met his old acquaintances -

Ding Sanshi, who led NetEase to a comeback by overtaking others in the gaming industry;

Zhang, who also found a business entry point and made a fortune in portal advertising business by relying on Zhouyi's exclusive Internet news, and Sina's CEO Wang.

as well as……

a woman.

Xiao Ma knows her, a popular girl all over the country.

"Old Ma, let me introduce you to Miss Cheng, the general manager of Guiyi." Ding Sanshi, who is now in high spirits, said with a smile.

Ding Sanshi, who had noticed Guiyi's existence before he made a comeback by relying on the game, contacted Guiyi as soon as he confirmed his dominance. Cheng Hao also sent people to NetEase to show his non-interference attitude since then.

"Hello, Miss Cheng."

In the past, he was a little puzzled as to why Zhou Yi would let an unknown person like Cheng Hao go to Gui Yi, but now after getting to know him, Brother Xiao Ma finally understood the reason - trust.

This is the most valuable quality in doing business.

In fact, all of Guiyi's investment decisions and power were controlled by Zhou Yi behind the scenes, and Cheng Hao was responsible for finding people and execution.

Without absolute trust, the two would never be able to achieve this kind of cooperation.

Gui Yi Gui Yi, the name says it all.

"I heard that Miss Cheng also acquired a mail company before?"

"It's an attempt to improve the company's business needs."

Cheng Hao, wearing a brown women's suit and with her long hair tied up behind her head, smiled slightly. Facing the leaders of several major Internet giants, she was not at all inferior in momentum.

Cheng Hao, who often hangs out with Zhou Yi and carries out various split investments under his arrangement, actually has a just so-so impression of this group of Internet giants - Zhou Yi basically predicts the decisions of these old foxes.

In addition, heads of commercial companies such as Coca-Cola and Anta that have connections with Zhouyi were also present, forming a business circle exclusively for them at the venue.

As for the entertainment industry, apart from Cheng Long who is currently in the United States, Li Lianjie who returned to Hong Kong was the most famous guest who came to congratulate, followed by Zhou Xingchi.

In the mainland film and television industry, there are Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, the Wang brothers, Feng Kuazi, Ge Daye and other top figures in the industry. In the music industry, there are Cui Jian, Wang Xiaojing, Black Panther Band, Zero Point Band, Wang Feng, Zheng Jun and others.
The younger generation is led by Lu Yi, Zhou Xun, Fan Xiaopang and others.

The Hong Kong group was led by the Ying Huang faction. Xie Tingfeng, the former rival, appeared on the scene in the unexpected eyes of everyone. The younger generation including Twins, Chan Yixun, and Chen Guanxi sat aside under the leadership of the older generation including Tam Yonglin.

The Taiwanese are led by the Rolling Stones, with Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng as the main stars, Wu Bai, Zhou Huajian, Lin Yilian and others, while the younger generation is led by Jay Chou, Wang Lihong, Xiao Yaxuan and Liang Jingru. It can be said that tonight this includes the past, present and future of nearly a quarter of the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Oh my god, Zhou Yi's influence is too terrifying."

The reporter with the press card on his chest began to take pictures with permission while whispering to his companions.

Sun Yanzi, wearing a pink evening dress, wandered among various circles. Her hearty laughter could be heard from a long distance away, and she also attracted a lot of camera attention.

"What a joke, he is now the number one in the domestic music scene.

"Although many seniors with less experience can still rely on their age to suppress him, but in terms of honors, money-making ability and popularity, those who can suppress him with their seniority are not enough to beat him together, even Liu Huan and Tan Yonglin."

"I think he is also the first in Asia, a unique historical record."

"..."

The reporters were still chatting in bits and pieces. The next second, when the protagonist of the night appeared in the venue, the weapons in their hands, whether they were shooting anyone or not, immediately moved the camera to the man's face.

Zhou Yi, wearing a purple-black Armani latest haute couture suit, had a specially done hairstyle that made his face look even more eye-catching, especially with Qian Jiang, a fat man with a big belly, standing next to him.

"Ayi, congratulations."

"congratulations."

"congratulations."

"Zhou Yi, you have made it!"

"..."

Amid the congratulations and flattery, Zhou Yi felt elated and the smile on his face grew brighter.

No wonder so many celebrities lose themselves because of the flattery of people around them. This feeling is indeed addictive and irresistible.

Since it was a celebration party, Warner not only made an ice sculpture with sales exceeding 2000 million for Zhou Yi to smash, but also arranged for Zhou Yi's three Grammy trophies to be displayed.

Of course, the sales volume of 2000 million is pure exaggeration.

No matter how fast the English second special is, it is impossible for it to make 2000 million worldwide. Warner Bros. has inflated the numbers in advance. But Zhou Yi will be sold sooner or later anyway, so Warner Bros. is not worried at all.

The three Grammy Golden Phonograph Trophies on display completely magnified the envy of the young musicians at the scene to the highest level.

Jay Chou, who has a filter for old Europe, has eyes full of envy and an eagerness to try “I can do it too”;

Wang Lihong, who had just received a social beating in Japan, was now thinking about whether his pseudonym "Mr. Zhou" would be exposed, and what he would do if it was exposed...

"I'm very happy that you all can come to the celebration party held by the company for me tonight, although I think they are still a little conservative."

After exchanging greetings at each table, Zhou Yi went on stage. After a lively speech, he, accompanied by Qian Jiang, Chen Zeshan, Zhou Jianhui and others, smashed the "2000" ice sculpture in one fell swoop!

It was at that moment that the countless flashes of light almost drowned him!
"The spring breeze is blowing, and the horses are galloping. I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day!"

The next day, "Didu Youth Daily" took the lead in publishing the first related report about Zhou Yi's return, and the accompanying picture was a photo of Zhou Yi holding three Grammy phonograph trophies in his hands!
Apple Daily: "Shocking secret! Zhou Yi may have three people in his group!"

"Southern Entertainment News": "The King of Pop Zhou Yi returns with a bang! Who is the King of Pop's wife?!"

Contemporary Music: May all of us musicians encourage each other - learn from Zhou Yi

"Daily News": "Stars shine brightly! Zhou Yi's celebration party is full of stars surrounding the moon!"

"..."

What is even more important is the article published by the People's Daily in its main publication:

"Bright Stars, the Top of Asia - He Ignites the World with His Youth"

"In the music scene of China, Asia and the world, a dazzling star is rising - Zhou Yi.
