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

Chapter 607 Who is Yang Chenggang?
When Sun Yanzi, who had a comfortable sleep, reluctantly lifted the quilt from the bed and dazedly touched the mobile phone placed on the bedside, it was already past two in the afternoon.

“Ahaha~~~”

Sun Yanzi yawned and stretched out a long yawn, then straightened his back on the bed, and stretched his hands and feet backwards like doing yoga.

An indescribable sour feeling immediately filled every nerve in her body, making her instantly more sober.

"Have I slept for so long?"

After checking his mobile mailbox and confirming that no important information was missed, Sun Yanzi hummed a little tune, stepped on the carpet, and happily walked into the bathroom to wash up.

While brushing his teeth, he did not forget to use his hands to dip in water and comb his hair that stood up due to his bad sleeping posture, and pressed it down as much as possible.

It turns out that beauty sleep is still comfortable.

While criticizing herself for staying up late, Sun Yanzi thought that the long sleep time would be good for her beauty, so she touched her rumbling stomach and went into the kitchen - only a few bags of toast, three bottles of jam with few remaining items and half a box of eggs, that was all she had in her refrigerator.

"Um……"

After thinking for only three seconds, she closed the refrigerator door, wrapped herself in a down jacket and cotton slippers, and ran downstairs.

She hasn't really wanted to eat toast or anything like that lately.

At this time when his stomach was growling, Sun Yanzi, who had finally returned, embraced the beautiful lady Cheng Hao again with 120% enthusiasm——

Nothing out there tastes as good as what you cook, including the lunch boxes from the set of Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu". Doraemon, good!
"I have some homemade dumplings in the fridge. If you're hungry, you can cook them."

"Okay! I knew you were the best, Cheng Hao."

Sun Yanzi, who was holding Cheng Hao's waist with his teeth bared, laughed loudly, resting his head on her shoulder, swaying his body, and looking at the documents in her hand: "Are these the handover documents from Warner?"

"Well, the legal department has confirmed that there is no problem and sent it over. I helped them organize it and bind it into a book. From now on, Zhou Yi will be the real President Zhou. If you continue to be lazy and want to be careless, he can really deduct your salary." Cheng Hao smiled without showing his teeth as he let Sun Yanzi hug him and rub against him.

"Just deduct it, I don't need that little money." Sun Yanzi was quite generous.

Basic salary is the living expenses that artists who have not yet become famous rely on every month. For example, when Zhou Yi and her had not yet debuted in Taiwan, they received the basic salary issued by Warner every month. This is also why many record companies in this era sign contracts for seven to eight years or even ten years.

The training phase requires money to maintain.

Now, she has passed that stage. The licensing fees from the songs she sang alone are enough to support her, not to mention that she can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan from participating in a compilation concert or commercial performance.

"By the way, where is he? Hasn't he woken up yet?"

Sun Yanzi, who realized later that the man was not with Cheng Hao, was a little curious: "Could this pig sleep better than me?"

"He woke up at noon, ate a bowl of noodles and went to the company to make a song. He said that he would finish "Gong Xi Fa Cai" this afternoon and submit it to CCTV for review..."

One of the two women was sorting out work documents, while the other simply cooked some dumplings and started working frantically. The scene seemed unusually harmonious until Sun Yanzi heard the music coming from Cheng Hao's radio -

"Then, the next song Mr. Luo Wen ordered for Miss Xin is a song that has been very popular on the Internet recently, called "Mouse Loves Rice". He hopes to use this song to express his love for Miss Xin..."

After the host's emotional speech, the melody that sounded stunned Sun Yanzi, who was struggling with the pork and cabbage dumplings.

"I heard your voice and it gave me a special feeling
"Let me keep thinking about you, and never dare to forget you again..."

This sound, this texture... why is it so rough?

As a practitioner in the music industry, she is more or less an insider, but this song called "Old Books Love Rice" overturned her past definition of the word "song".

It's not even as good as last year's hit "Lilac".

Although “Lilac” is simple, at least the lyrics and melody don’t sound that... ?
Sun Yanzi's Chinese is not good, and for a while he couldn't even think of a suitable adjective to describe this song.

But when the chorus came out, she was surprised to find that Cheng Hao could actually sing along -

"I love you, love you, like a mouse loves rice

"No matter how many storms there are, I will still be with you

"I think of you, think of you, no matter how hard it is

"As long as I can make you happy, I am willing to do anything. I love you like this~~~"

???

What song is this?

Which god made this?
Is it very popular?
Sun Yanzi, who had just filmed a movie in the "Kung Fu" crew, seemed a little unfamiliar with the music scene and was a little confused: "Cheng Hao, have you heard of this song?"

"Yes, of course I've heard it. This song is famous on the Internet."

Cheng Hao, who didn't understand, thought Sun Yanzi also liked this song, so he smiled and nodded, "How is it? It sounds good, right? Let me tell you, this song came out at the end of last year, and it has become a little popular on the Internet in less than a month. Many people on the radio station have requested this song to express their love.

"On the music chart I often listen to, 'Mouse Loves Rice' is about to make it into the top ten this week, even that new song by A-Du has been eliminated." "???"

On December 2003, 12, the former god of car under the sun released a new album "Hello" with past glory.

As a popular superstar promoted by Ocean Butterflies, A-du once became so popular with "He Must Love You" that he once competed with Zhou Yi in mainland China. The value of "God of War Under the Car" is self-evident.

Although the subsequent album was cancelled, this did not prevent Haidie from continuing to push it——

Its new album "Hello" released not long ago brought together famous creators such as Dai Pei-ni, Jay Chou, Fang Wenshan, Huang Junlang, Lin Junjie, and Zhou Chuanxiong, which can be said to be a gathering of heroes.

However, this album, which was highly anticipated by Ocean Butterflies and regarded by A-Du himself as a return to the peak, had its ranking on some mainland charts taken down by a singer who came from nowhere just one week after its release?
What an international joke!
Even the mysterious online song “Lilac” from 2002 wasn’t this powerful!

"Who is this Yang Chenggang?"

"Who is Yang Chenggang?"

"..."

When several major record companies that were paying close attention to the music industry saw the name "Yang Chenggang" written all over the three columns of lyrics, music and singing, they all expressed sharp doubts. Universal Music, which lacked a new generation big brother, started an investigation immediately.

It was really a scary start that a singer who had no fame before was able to defeat Adu, a famous commoner superstar.

Warner, Zhou Yi, who had just finished recording "Gong Xi Fa Cai", packed up his things and was about to ask Qian Jiang to send the audition tape to CCTV, when he knocked on the door of the recording studio uninvited.

"Ayi, this is amazing. Do you remember the song "Mouse Loves Rice" that you mentioned before?"

The moment Qian Jiang saw the title of the song, he recalled that Zhou Yi seemed to have noticed this song before, and he immediately came over: "Something is wrong, this song is very wrong, its staying power is far beyond everyone's imagination, everyone in Ocean Butterflies is going crazy now, Universal has even started to release information that it is willing to spend 200 million yuan to sign a contract to find Yang Chenggang..."

Qian Jiang, who had just taken over as general manager of the artist department, was a little distracted.

Even though Universal Studios couldn't find the person, they offered $200 million, which is enough to show how urgent the situation was.

However, what was quite beyond Qian Jiang's expectation was that Zhou Yi, who had been paying attention to this song before, didn't care about it at all at this moment -

"There's no need to pay attention to this Yang Chenggang. It's a waste of time to look for him."

Qian Jiang frowned: "What do you mean? Weren't you paying attention to this song before? I thought you..."

"Because this song is not sung by him at all."

"what???"

Qian Jiang was dumbfounded as he never expected such a reversal.

No, what do you mean?
The lyrics, music and singing were all credited to Yang Chenggang, but it turned out that he was not the one who sang it?

"I asked my friends in Bar Street, and some of them knew Yang Chenggang and this song."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Yang Chenggang was the original creator of this song, but he felt it was too rubbish after he wrote it, and he didn't have the money to make a later accompaniment for the song, so he sold the demo along with the copyright to a singer named Wang Qiwen.

"After Wang Qiwen's company bought the song, they tailored the accompaniment for Wang Qiwen.
“Although the singer of the song you are listening to now is named Yang Chenggang, the actual singer is Wang Qiwen.

"Because Yang Chenggang was the original author, after "Mouse Loves Rice" was completed, Wang Qiwen gave the song to the former who came to listen to the finished product. As a result, the latter broke his promise and directly took the song that had already been sold as his own, uploaded it to the Internet, and signed all the pages with his own name..."

As Zhou Yi told the inside story, Qian Jiang frowned.

So this guy is still a villain?

"According to my friends in the bar street, Yang Chenggang himself can't sing at all, which is why he sold "Mouse Loves Rice"."

Zhou Yi shrugged and told the truth.

In fact, he had more to say.

For example, "Mouse Loves Rice" had actually been sold by Yang Chenggang a long time ago. He resold the song several times. Finally, after it was recorded by Wang Qiwen at the end of 03, he sensed a business opportunity and immediately claimed it for himself, uploaded it to the Internet first, and signed himself in the singer column.

Yes, the internet hit song "Mouse Loves Rice" that many people born in the 90s remember was actually sung by Wang Qiwen, not Yang Chenggang.

The version sung by Yang Chenggang himself was released at the end of 2004, but the version by Wang Qiwen actually represents the childhood memories of many people born in the 90s.

Yang Chenggang himself did not earn nearly 04 million yuan, that was just the ringtone value created by this song. Moreover, in , when the song was popular for a whole year, he was not the one who sang it, so how could he make so much money?

If he really made so much money, his financial situation would not have plummeted after the lawsuit in 06 and started to go downhill in 07.

Most importantly, as a singer and songwriter, it is impossible for him to take all the profits without sharing them.

Even Zhou Yi can’t do it.

It is true that he makes a lot of money from commercial performances.
