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

Chapter 648: Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade

"Ah? Are you leaving?"

Thursday, December 3, afternoon.

After school, Deng Shiying came to Warner with her schoolbag and saw Zhang Jingying who was cleaning up her things. She learned this astonishing fact from her classmate and good friend - her eyes widened and her mouth pouted like a goldfish.

"Correct."

"But you haven't finished learning yet?"

"This opportunity is rare, so we must seize it."

Zhang Jingying smiled and put her arm around the kid's shoulders: "I'm already 20, so of course I have to seize the opportunity to debut. I can also help you explore the entertainment industry first."

To a 20-year-old girl, the 13-year-old Deng Shiying is really a child who can’t be any younger.

This is the virtual age after the Chinese New Year generally recognized by Chinese people. If you count the actual age, it will be even smaller.

"Then I'll go and cheer you on then."

"Forget it, forget it. I don't know if I can break through yet. It would be embarrassing if I can't win."

Zhang Jingying quickly rejected her kindness.

There's no way around it. The agents have said that this year there are quite a lot of professionals pretending to be grassroots, and there are even some who have already debuted but have no fame and are pretending to be newcomers and are being reinvented.

"It's okay, believe in yourself, you can do it."

Speaking Mandarin with a Cantonese accent, pretending to be mature, Deng Shiying comforted the little kid, but also felt a little envious: "Unlike me, it's still too early for me to debut, alas..."

Judging from the course schedule and school progress, it would conservatively take about four years before I could attempt a debut - at least until I finish high school.

Anyway, that's what her family asked for.

"You are different from me. You have a great talent for creation. I will definitely try my best to cultivate your sense and ability in this area."

Zhang Jingying also envies this girl who was picked out for intensive training at such a young age. Her unique creative ability is her talent, which is enough to make Warner, who now has too much money to spend, wait for her.

Leaning against the big tree is good for the coolness.

With Zhou Yi's previous record as a walking money-printing machine, Zhou Jianhui now pays great attention to the discovery and training of singer-songwriters.

A typical example is the male singer named Fang Datong who Zhou Yi nodded to before.

Although he didn't understand, it was obvious that Zhou Yi did.

It’s never wrong to follow Big Daddy.

I don't ask for another supermodel award like Zhou Yi, which is popular all over the world, but it wouldn't be too much to win a few first and second prizes.

Therefore, Zhang Jingying is under a lot of pressure at the moment.

Mainly because of the various news coming out from Warner recently that made her a little worried. Putting aside Zhang Huimei, Wang Feng, Hu Yanbing and other Warner veterans who are about to release albums, there are three batches of newcomers who will debut at Warner this year alone -

Taiwan's F.I.R.
Fong Tai Tung of Hong Kong;

Finally, it's her.

One person will come out from either side of the Taiwan Strait or Hong Kong, and whoever fails will be embarrassed.

More importantly, whether it is the F.I.R. or Kris Wu, they all wrote the lyrics and music for their own albums, which makes her, a singer who has to rely on talent shows to try to debut, seem a little out of place - she has no albums, and relies entirely on her popularity after participating in the show.

If she failed, she suspected that she would most likely be abandoned by the company.

This is the cruelty of big companies. Not everyone is like Sun Yanzi.

..............................

"Ah!"

Outside the airport, Sun Yanzi, wearing sunglasses, was sitting in the car, playing with her phone and humming a song. The rapid development of Mobile Dream Network made it easier for her to surf the Internet. Suddenly, her tailbone felt numb, and she sneezed while shivering.

"Are my parents still complaining about me?"

She really couldn't stay at her own home or her friend's home any longer, so she had to flee Singapore in a hurry and returned to China to start working.

It just so happened that just a few days after she came back, Zhou Yi also quietly returned from the United States.

With the "elevator door" still hot both at home and abroad, Zhou Yi's return trip was obviously very low-key. He even faked the flight. Only a few people knew that he was coming back today. Sun Yanzi was one of those who knew about it.

When she saw Zhou Yi, who was wearing a mask, scarf, sunglasses and a felt hat, with his hands in the pockets of his black jacket, appear in her sight, her spirits suddenly perked up while she was surfing the Internet.

She leaned half of her body out and waved at him: "Here, here, I'm here."

"You passed your driver's license?"

"Of course, don't look at who I am."

After Zhou Yi got in the car, Sun Yanzi started the car and proudly shook his sunglasses: "Cheng Hao is too busy to pick you up today. She is busy with company matters and has been competing with Tencent recently. I have to do it for her. Where are Qian Jiang and the others?"

"We went our separate ways after getting off the plane, otherwise we would have been a bit too conspicuous."

Zhou Yi, who was feeling a little hot, took off his disguise and let out a long sigh: "She and Tencent?"

"It's about the email company. Microsoft immediately formed a top-notch team to run the Chinese business. They are now jealous of FoxMail, the email company under Guiyi."

Sun Yanzi, who loves gossip, was driving and couldn't wait to pour out all the gossip he had eaten recently: "Microsoft also wants to acquire your email business under Guiyi. The two sides have been fighting a tug-of-war for a long time..."

In Sun Yanzi's words, the places Cheng Hao goes to now are no longer the entertainment industry, but business battle venues where tens of millions or even hundreds of millions are involved every minute.

Although he had learned about the situation via email and phone calls, Zhou Yi, leaning on the headrest of the seat, did not interrupt her when he heard her enthusiastic explanation. He just closed his eyes and listened to the book, responding from time to time.

"By the way, there are rumors online that the AFC's Qatar wants to pay you a large sum of money to be their ambassador to help them compete in the next Asian Cup. They say they're offering you $200 million. Is that true?"

"Who said that?"

"I don't know. It seems to have first come from the football circle. A coach in the industry got drunk at the dinner table and used what he heard as a topic of conversation, and then the news spread..."

Sometimes the more outrageous the news is, the faster it spreads. The reason is simple: it catches the public's curious eyes.

This time, Zhou Yi was already ridiculed by passers-by and rational fans on the Internet because of the elevator incident, and suddenly he was superimposed with such an explosive endorsement contract. The sensation it caused can be imagined -

Two hundred million US dollars for an endorsement contract is not only a fantasy for the domestic entertainment industry, but also a dimensionality reduction blow to the business community.

The Qataris are somewhat unethical because they rely on their wealth.

“Yes, there is such a thing, but it has not been confirmed yet.”

Zhou Yi's voice was a little tired with his eyes closed. Sun Yanzi turned his head to look at him, then quietly reached out to help him cover the drooping corner of his jacket: "Don't sleep now, go back and sleep later."

"Um……"

As one of the few people who could make Zhou Yi absolutely trustworthy, Zhou Yi, who was sitting in Sun Yanzi's co-pilot seat, quickly tilted his head and fell asleep.

It's just that although he slept, many people couldn't sleep because of him.

At 3:4 pm on March , AFC President, Qatari Mohammed bin Hammam, also expressed in an interview that Zhou Yi will be responsible for the production and singing of the global theme song of this Asian Cup.

At the same time, the Qatar Football Association also officially announced that it will reach a cooperative relationship with Chinese singer Zhou Yi. In the next four years, Zhou Yi will become the publicity and image ambassador of Qatar football.

4 years.

Although the Qatar Football Association did not officially announce the specific amount of the contract, this number of years obviously reminded many people of the drunken nonsense of the coach who was said to be in the industry...

Many people who had their own channels got the inside information of this sky-high contract at the first time - this naturally included Xiao Ma.

After seeing the news, he was negotiating with Cheng Hao and his first reaction was whether the reporter had written the wrong number.

"Two hundred million dollars for a contract? And that's after taxes?" Xiao Ma, who had achieved some success, had obviously never seen such a domineering businessman and was somewhat surprised.

He still has his own channels, so it is not difficult for him to find out such shocking business news.

"How can we buy FoxMail?"

The board was also a little dumbfounded.

Why is Zhou Yi, the man behind Cheng Hao, becoming more and more powerful?
A contract with a net income of $200 million after tax is a lucrative job for them now...

Isn't this Zhou Yi tree too good for shade?

Brother Xiao Ma frowned: "Should we raise our offer price a little bit? Microsoft is putting pressure on us. They have a very pleasant cooperation with Zhou Yi in Europe and the United States. Foxmail's market share is now third. We absolutely cannot give in."
