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

Chapter 472 Hello, please call me the comic book guy

"Most people want me to learn to see, the worldly perspective

"I have carefully learned the secular perspective, and I will be secular until dawn~"

When Zhou Yi's charming and catchy voice sounded along with Lang Lang's catchy melody, it meant that another episode of "Sex and the City" had been aired.

The extremely brainwash ending song, combined with the few scenes that the director managed to cut out from Zhou Yi's tiny cameo role, and then combined with the scene in the past when Zhou Yi went on stage and sang side by side with Cheng Hao after the crew built the stage, always fascinated Hu Jiamin.

Although the TV series has not yet aired the part where Zhou Yi's guest role, Li Bai, appears, she has memorized the ending song "Li Bai" by heart, and she can hum along to the tune every time -

"If I could do it again, I would choose Li Bai~
"At least I can still write some poetry to express my feelings and amuse girls~
"If only I could re--"

The unique tune of the adolescent girl came to an abrupt end when a shrill roar of a motorcycle exhaust pipe was heard downstairs outside the window. The girl who was holding a homework book in front of her hurriedly put down the ballpoint pen in her hand, stood up at lightning speed and rushed to the TV and pressed the power off button.

The old ceiling fan was still hanging under the ceiling of the living room, working faithfully. Hu Jiamin adjusted the remote control to the correct angle and then bit the tip of the pen.

While pretending to be deep in thought, he did not forget to fan himself with a fan covered with advertisements for men's hospitals, infertility, etc.

In late May, Guangzhou has already enjoyed the midsummer package of short-sleeved shirts, shorts and flip-flops.

The couple, who had just returned from get off work, were pleased to see their daughter working so hard: "Minmin, how much of your homework have you finished?"

"I'm almost done, Mom. Why did you come back so early today?" Hu Jiamin, who had to stay at home to do her homework because of the SARS school suspension, looked up obediently.

"I got off work early. It just so happens that your dad got off work early at the construction site today."

The ordinary middle-aged woman lifted the bag in her hand, and the tip of the iceberg she saw made the girl, who was still frowning while doing her homework, suddenly beam with joy - "Did you buy watermelon?!"

"You can't eat it now. Cut it up after dinner and put it in the refrigerator."

"okay!"

Hu Jiamin, with a smile on her face, happily carried the watermelon and walked towards the refrigerator. However, when she saw her father walk to the TV and put his hand on the huge butt of the TV, she knew something was wrong...

That night, after Hu Jiamin, with tears in her eyes, finished her meal, she was punished to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. She could only bury her head in the quilt of the small room and sob.

"Here's the latest news: Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, has now..."

Through the door, the news anchor in the living room was still reporting on the turbulent international situation. The tragic situation of the Iraq War, which the United States had invaded on a random pretext and bypassed the United Nations, was shocking.

Hu Jiamin, who was not as concerned about national affairs as his father, sobbed for a long time. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He pounded his fists on the mat, and then quietly took out 20 yuan in change from his piggy bank.

She had saved this for a long time.

Pretend to sleep.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he quietly opened the door and looked around. After finding that there was indeed no one in the living room, he took off his shoes, stood on tiptoe, stepped barefoot on the untiled cement floor of the house, and slipped out quietly.

Hu Jiamin put on her sandals as soon as she left the house and walked briskly under the moonlight, full of joy of escaping from the cage. About ten minutes later, she turned left at the intersection and stopped in front of a rolling door.

Without any hesitation, Hu Jiamin bent down and pulled up the rolling door with ease. He immediately smelled the mixed smell of cigarettes, sweat, instant noodles and other odors in the black Internet cafe.

"Jiamin, here, the machine is ready for you."

When her companions who had made an appointment earlier saw her, they immediately stood up and greeted her: "It's open all night, we'll go back after five o'clock."

"Okay, I'll log into QQ first."

The girl, who couldn't get used to the pungent smell of cigarettes, did not forget to fan her nose with her hands after pulling out a chair and sitting down. She complained to her friends about being scolded by her parents tonight, and discussed how good the movie "Sex and the City" she watched was and how beautiful the charmer was.

For Wu Jiamin, the heartthrob in the drama is exactly what she dreamed of being like when she grew up.

Even if many people will call me a slut or a vixen.

"I think The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is better. Gao Yuanyuan's Zhou Zhiruo and Jia Jingwen's Zhao Min are so pretty. Su Youpeng is also very handsome. It's a pity that Zhou Yi didn't play Zhang Wuji, otherwise it would have been even better."

"I like to watch "Conquest". I don't know if you have seen it. It was just broadcast last week."

"I prefer The Story of a Noble Family, Chen Kun is so handsome..."

"..."

The classmates were discussing their favorite TV series recently, whether they were reruns or newly aired, and they were all discussing them with great interest. However, Hu Jiamin, who had just logged into QQ, suddenly noticed a pop-up message notification from QQ:

[On June 6, Tencent QQ's third anniversary celebration event begins, Zhou Yi invites you to celebrate the birthday together...]

Zhou Yi's name immediately attracted Hu Jiamin to click in -

The page immediately jumped to Tencent.com, and a piece of news marked in red and bold that was obviously manually pinned to the top was enough to attract the attention of everyone who clicked in.

"Fuck! Is Tencent so awesome? They actually invited Zhou Yi?!"

"Your information is outdated. Tencent announced earlier that it had invited Zhou Yi to be the spokesperson for QQ's third anniversary promotion. It cost 8000 million yuan. This damn penguin is really fucking rich."

"But I didn't expect Tencent would actually invite Zhou Yi to write a song for QQ. The song "Gray Avatar" will be released on time at 10:08 am on the first day after the college entrance examination."

"I think this is free, right? Tencent specially asked Zhou Yi to customize this song. Look, it says..."

After Hu Jiamin's surprised and vulgar remarks, her friends' comments allowed her, who had not been online for more than half a month, to absorb a lot of new Internet knowledge, and she also got on NetEase's "Westward Journey Online 2".

The big image of Elva Hsiao on the spokesperson page looks particularly handsome.

"But why hasn't Zhou Yi appeared in "Sex and the City" yet? I've been looking forward to his appearance for a long time."

"Yes, yes. Didn't they say that Zhou Yi played the role of the last lover of the popular man?"

"Zhou Yi, this idiot, was it because of this reason that he guest-starred in "Sex and the City"?"

"I think so. Zhou Yi, the pervert, must have his eyes sparkling when he saw the charming girl?"

"..."

Because of "Gray Avatar", when the focus of the topic gradually shifted to Zhou Yi, several people inevitably talked about his screen debut -

According to the official pre-production, it should be in the next two days. How come Zhou Yi hasn't appeared yet when the show "Sex and the City" is almost over?

Isn’t this guest appearance too much of a cameo?
"Judging from the number of episodes, if it's not today, it should be tomorrow." Hu Jiamin, a veteran scholar of "Sex and the City", said casually while tearing the instant noodles package handed to her by her bestie.

"Is this true? Are you so sure?"

"Why would I lie to you? Just wait and watch Zhou Yi's screen debut tomorrow. I just don't know how much ratings it will boost."

As a senior fan of spaghetti on the Internet, Hu Jiamin, who pays great attention to various indicators of Zhouyi, is very sure.

There are many fans like her who are waiting for Zhou Yi to appear, not only outside the entertainment industry, but also inside it.

"When the show "Sex and the City" was first aired, thanks to Zhou Yi's fame, it had a terrifying 23.7% viewership rating on the first day, which is not far from the peak record of 26% set by the most popular TV show "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" this year.

"Afterwards, due to the exciting plot development and the wonderful performances of the four female characters, the discussion on the show went viral. In just two weeks, the average viewership rate was between 13% and 15%, making it a national hit..."

The imperial capital, home of Zhang Da Huzi.

The people who came to discuss the post-production of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" inevitably talked about "Sex and the City," this year's unexpected dark horse.

Surrounded by a number of costume dramas, criminal investigation dramas, and idol dramas, this light comedy ensemble drama featuring urban women adapted from a comic book emerged in an unexpected manner and became a hit in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.

In Taiwan, it has even surpassed many other competitors to become the current annual ratings champion. It is so popular that we can only wait and see whether "My Fair Princess 3", which will be released in the second half of this year, can break the record.

As professionals, they naturally discussed whether this model could be replicated.

After all, Pink Panther was made on a relatively low budget. Friday, May 2003, 5

When the show "Sex and the City" aired and Zhou Yi's guest role Li Bai officially appeared, the discussion frenzy on the Internet even exceeded the popularity of the show when it first aired.

"Fuck! How come Zhou Yi looks even more handsome than usual!"

"She's wearing makeup. It's rare to see Zhou Yi wearing this kind of makeup!"

"He has such an innocent smile, he's really suitable to be a boyfriend."

"How can Zhou Yi, a playboy, act like such a pure and innocent man?"

"..."

Zhou Yi's costume as a guest star in the TV series has become part of many people's photo collections as "a man who could be said to have walked out of a comic book". He directly topped the Tianya Film and Television Handsome Guy Ranking List and directly dominated the first place on both the singer and film and television lists!

This was the first time that Zhou Yi appeared on the screen as the male lead in an idol drama, which immediately amazed everyone.

The director is obviously quite partial to him. The lighting and plot atmosphere he gave him are the best in the play. Standing next to Cheng Hao, who is known as the heartthrob, there is a sense of brilliant match that is a perfect match.

"I'm convinced. No wonder when Zhou Yi first debuted, some people said he was a handsome man that only appears once in fifty years. With this face and this figure, which woman wouldn't tremble in her legs when she sees him?"

"I am a man and I also..."

"The people upstairs can't, or at least shouldn't..."

"Isn't this much better than the F4 from Meteor Garden?"

"It's an all-round beating. Although Meteor Garden was banned because of Zhou Yi after only a few episodes, I think Zhou Yi is much more handsome than those four ugly guys."

"It's okay. They were beaten up backstage at the Golden Melody Awards last year. It was Zhou Yi himself who did it..."

"..."

Thanks to Zhou Yi's current popularity in China, which is unique enough to be called unparalleled, and the high expectations brought about by his screen debut, he has shattered all the doubts of his black fans about his acting skills with his good looks.

Giegie is so handsome!
Beauty is justice!

As long as your face is there, the country is there!
The next day, Zhu Wei, editor-in-chief of Sanlian Life Weekly, even published a long article expressing his amazement at this "Zhouyi phenomenon" -

"According to the data I got from my friends at the TV station, the episode where Zhou Yi officially appeared yesterday directly broke the single-episode ratings record for this drama and even all TV dramas this year - 27.7%.

"You have to know that the ratings of the last episode of "Sex and the City" were 14.3%. This means that Zhou Yi alone raised the ratings of the single episode by more than ten percentage points. These people watched it just for him. This is Zhou Yi's current influence..."

Zhang Da Huzi, who was analyzing the drama "Sex and the City" seriously before, regretted it so much that his thighs almost broke.

"If I had known earlier, I should have insisted on inviting Zhou Yi. It would be more appropriate for Zhou Yi to play Duan Yu!"

After confirming that the ratings increase was real, Zhang Da Huzi regretted it deeply.

What do you want Lin Zhiying?
Forums such as Tianya and Mop have even dug up news about how Zhang Da Huzi tried to invite Zhou Yi to star in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and how Jin Yong praised Zhou Yi as the best candidate for Duan Yu in his mind. They then criticized Zhang Da Huzi for the controversy surrounding the Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

"You are blind! How can that old man Lin Zhiying compare to Zhou Yi in any way?!"

"Jin Yong said that Zhou Yi is his version of Duan Yu, why don't you go and invite him!"

"You deserve to be scolded!"

"..."

Netizens who were originally full of resentment towards Zhang Da Huzi because of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" finally caught up with him this time. They grabbed Zhang Da Huzi and started to criticize him wildly. The latter was also full of anger and had nowhere to vent -

Your fucking Zhou Yi is not going to act!

If Zhou Yi doesn't want to act, can I still tie him up and make him act? !
Some curious people even looked up the comments of netizens in Taiwan on Zhouyi, but were surprised to find that Zhouyi had already dominated this place.

In this hot land where many idol dramas were born since "Meteor Garden", Zhou Yi, who only made a cameo appearance in "Sex and the City", became the white moonlight in the hearts of countless Taiwanese audiences with his advanced looks.

Because this drama was aired in Taiwan at the beginning of this year, the simple, kind and innocent Zhou Yi in the drama directly became the number one on the list of the most suitable boyfriend in TV dramas voted by Taiwanese women!

"This is Zhou Yi's true look straight out of a comic book! In comparison, F4 is so unfashionable, whether it's the makeup, clothes, or hairstyle."

"I'm really blind. I admit that I used to think F4 was handsome, but now I find that Zhou Yi is the most handsome one in idol dramas!"

"Zhou Yi, why don't you shoot this kind of urban idol drama earlier? What would F4 have to do with it earlier? It's really a waste of your face!"

In Taiwan, peripheral products printed with Zhou Yi's portrait, full-length portrait, and bust have already been selling out due to the popularity of "Sex and the City". The sales of Zhou Yi's photo albums have once again returned to the top of the list, surpassing all the models.

And now, in the wider mainland market, the same thing is happening...

Many savvy businesses have launched various Zhouyi peripherals, posters, stickers and other items early on. Because they are unauthorized and Warner has no power to regulate them, and they do not need to pay copyright fees, their main focus is on large quantities and sufficient supply, accurately meeting the needs of Zhouyi fans across the country.

The song "Li Bai" even ranked second on many music charts thanks to the popularity of the TV series, but the first place is still the hit song "Super Star", and no one can shake its position, not even Zhou Yi himself.

"Is Zhou Yi shooting himself in the foot?"

"Not really. He wrote the song, and the three lead singers are still Yanz, Elva, and that Zhang or something."

"It's mainly because the song 'Super Star' is so powerful. I guess when Zhou Yi wrote it, he probably didn't expect it to be so popular. From the beginning of the year to now, only 'Ten Years' can compare with it, but 'Ten Years' obviously can't beat it."

"..."

In recent days, Zhou Yi, who was preparing to shoot a public service advertisement on CCTV, was called "Li Bai Li Bai" every day, especially by his senior brother Sa Beining, who called him the most enthusiastically.

"I've never been a big fan of saying good luck on the college entrance exam. Think about it, if you say good luck to everyone, doesn't that mean no one is doing well?"

Under Sa Beining's interview, Zhou Yi resisted the urge to rub his dog's head and continued, "For the college entrance examination, I think it's best to relax and perform at your best without any regrets.

"All roads lead to Rome.

"Look, I passed the college entrance exam and entered the Peking University Law School. What am I doing now? I am still doing something that has nothing to do with my major.

"The perseverance, determination, wisdom, and other things that our generation of young people really need have already been acquired in the process of preparing for the college entrance examination...

“You don’t need to worry about whether you will answer the questions incorrectly or whether you will regret choosing your major in the future.

“Believe me, the questions we accidentally answered incorrectly in the college entrance examination and the majors we chose were actually to make us meet specific people and things in the future.

"And all these mistakes, when we look back, will seem to be just as fate would have them be, and they will be refreshing..."

This can be considered as Zhou Yi's inspiration.

In his previous life, he played around for two years in high school, and managed to get by every year. In his third year of high school, he finally woke up and made a great effort to catch up, but he did not perform very well in the college entrance examination, especially in mathematics. He made mistakes on several questions that he should not have made mistakes on, and finally failed to get into the 211 university in his province.

He was actually quite depressed as he originally wanted to leave the province. If he had known that he would stay in the province, he might as well have applied for the finance school next door. At least it had a high regional recognition. But the final result was that he spent four extremely enjoyable years in school.

I met a few roommates who would get together, play games, and brag together every year even after graduation. Even though some of my roommates got married, they would still play games together after their marriage.

"Okay, last question, this may or may not make the edit."

Sa Beining, who was holding back a smirk, deliberately did not call it a day after the filming was over: "Excuse me, classmate Zhou Yi, do you have anything to say about the current online comments about yourself? Including those labels like "the most handsome thing".

"There's nothing much to say, I think I deserve it."

Zhou Yi fixed his hair and said nonsense to the camera seriously: "After all, I am a comic book tearing man, a man who tore up comic books seriously and walked out."

Sa Beining, who had already laughed out loud, shook Zhou Yi's arm as if shaking hands with a leader: "Hello, comic book guy."
