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

Chapter 720 The Night, maybe add an s
"Ah? What did you say?"

Warner Capital Building, in the recording studio.

Sun Yanzi, who was chewing corn, had a few broken corn kernels on the corners of his mouth. He had a pair of monitoring headphones hanging around his neck. He stood there in a daze: "Looking for me?"

"Correct."

Agent Ji Shengshan nodded: "The other party came here just for your reputation. I think it was because Zhou Yi signed two car endorsement contracts that inspired domestic manufacturers. In addition, you have experience in endorsing cars before..."

After the news that Zhou Yi signed two luxury car brands at once spread back to China, it immediately set off a major endorsement earthquake in the domestic entertainment industry.

Especially the domestic automobile industry.

They have actually always been hesitant about finding celebrities to endorse products. They have thought about implementing it, but it has always been in the planning stage and has not been implemented yet.

They wanted to find Zhou Yi to be the spokesperson, but they didn't have the money - or rather, they didn't have the budget.

The Zhouyi is still too expensive for them.

Therefore, after settling for the second best, many domestic automobile companies set their sights on Sun Yanzi.

On popularity——

Sun Yanzi is extremely popular in both China and Singapore.

When she won the Golden Melody Award last year, she completely removed the "small" character from her forehead. Although she lost to Wang Fei, who is leaving the music industry this year, she is now undoubtedly a queen-level figure in the entire Chinese-speaking region of East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Every album of hers is a hit and sells well. In addition, she is the first among the new generation of Chinese pop singers to win the Golden Melody Award. There is no doubt that she has firmly established herself as the number one female singer of the new generation.

Others such as Elva Hsiao, Fish Leong, Zhang Shaohan, Cai Yilin and others have not yet touched the Golden Melody Award for Best Singer.

On Experience

In 2000-2001, when she became popular just after her debut, she had an endorsement cooperation with Subaru Impreza and signed an endorsement contract. She is not a novice in the automotive field.

He also has a good relationship with Zhou Yi, and can take advantage of Zhou Yi's exposure.

As a result, one invitation after another to endorse domestic cars came to the desk of Sun Yanzi's agent.

Among them, Tianjin FAW's offer was the most generous, and they even brought out the post-signing plan.

"Listen Yanzi, drive Vizi...?"

Sun Yanzi blinked as he was reading the business plan, feeling a little flattered by the slogan.

This completely binding slogan almost gives the feeling that the treasure is placed on her.

The prototype of the car is Toyota Yaris, which was introduced into the domestic market by Tianjin FAW and then produced domestically. It can basically be said to be the Chinese version of Toyota Yaris. Then the name was also changed - to Vizi.

The expected retail price is around RMB 10 to 13.

"That's fine, I have no objection."

Sun Yanzi didn't find anything strange after reading it, and didn't care about the size of the car. He nodded and agreed: "It's a good opportunity for me to fight back against Zhou Yi and make him brag to me on the phone every now and then."

Although the brand value difference is a bit big, it is still a car endorsement after all.

We are all cars!
Now, she has it too!
When she thought of this, she felt more motivated to work.

"Ah? You actually have a car endorsement too?"

The night in Paris is warm and hot.

Zhou Yi, with a pure white bath towel tied around his waist and a toothpick in his mouth, walked barefoot on the hotel carpet, holding a mobile phone in one hand, looking quite surprised.

He really didn't know whether Sun Yanzi had ever endorsed a domestic car.

He did know about the Subaru Impreza, but the contract between the two parties was not renewed after it expired. Sun Yanzi herself didn't like this kind of car very much, so the car that the sponsor gave her was just kept in the garage as a collection.

After all, it is her first heavyweight endorsement after her debut, so it is indeed quite commemorative.

"Then you can't drive my Ferrari anymore? I told you it's parked in the garage anyway, why don't you drive it away and help me maintain the car."

Sun Yanzi: "..."

What Ferrari?

Can I drive a Ferrari?
Even though she is now the leading actress of the new generation and looks very glamorous, in fact, she still can't bear to buy a pure sports car like Ferrari which costs a lot of money.

To be precise, her consumption habits have not yet caught up.

Sun Yanzi couldn't bear to spend millions just to buy a pure sports car that is basically useless for travel and can't even take care of household use.

When I’m not working, I stay at home, either watching TV or playing the games left by Zhou Yi. From time to time, I go out for a walk or shopping with Cheng Hao or other friends in the company, and then go to the legendary Guiyi for a stroll - that’s it.

The most I've ever spent was a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars. But if it's over a hundred thousand, I have to weigh the "cost-effectiveness" and feel reluctant to spend.

After all, it's all hard-earned money.

The life of a lazy dog ​​is often so plain and simple.

Sleeping until you wake up naturally has been her dream since her debut, at least when she is not promoting her album.

In the first two years after her debut, she would perform more frequently in commercial shows. But now, as her income has increased, her commercial shows have begun to decrease day by day - don't ask, the answer is that she wants to improve her status.

Now she is already a famous Chinese pop diva, she has to be reserved and can no longer accept commercial performances everywhere. She can make money by shooting commercials, which is easy and quick.

Big brands like Motorola mobile phone endorsements, McDonald's commercials, Lux shampoo, etc. are enough to satisfy her.

Having become the top female employee in the company, she now has the right to decide her own time and money.

She was planning to save the money for future investment and didn't want to spend it recklessly at all.

"It doesn't matter. When I find a Ferrari endorsement, I can borrow your car." Sun Yanzi's laughter was full of fantasy. Zhou Yi said disdainfully: "By the time you find a Ferrari endorsement, the opportunity will be gone."

"Tsk, there's a long way to go, just wait and see."

Sun Yanzi, who was just talking nonsense, didn't take it seriously. He just said something tough before asking about his situation in Paris these days. After that, he hung up the phone.

After all, there is a time difference, and it would not be good to disturb Zhou Yi's rest.

"When you talk to her, your tone of voice changes a lot, and your attention is completely diverted from me - let me guess, the bracelet or the jade pendant?"

Eva Green, wearing a white silk lace-trimmed nightgown and painting her eyelashes, looked at herself in the mirror and asked.

"Knowing too much is not good for you. Aren't you afraid that I won't invite you to participate in the MV?"

"who cares?"

Eva Green glanced sideways at him. "If I needed that, you wouldn't have met me in London at all."

"Yes, yes, I know, I know, you've said it once before."

Zhou Yi fell comfortably on the sofa, crossed his fingers and rested his head on his head. He crossed his legs and trembled: "But, speaking of it, do you mind if the words you said last time are written into the lyrics?"

"?"

Eva Green paused while drawing her eyebrows, then glanced at the mirror calmly: "If this inspires your new song, I'm honored, it means I'm still Venus."

"Then you might be a little modest."

"If you don't mind, could you tell me what the song is called?"

"tonight, the night?"

Behind the wide-open bathroom door, Eva turned around, supported the door with one hand, put one hand on her waist, raised her eyebrows, and looked down at him condescendingly.

Zhou Yi smiled: "Or, you can add an s? "The Nights"? "

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

"Every night? Is he crazy?"

Olympic Stadium, Athens.

When the Olympic Organizing Committee received the "overtime" application submitted by Zhang Yimou's team, they were paralyzed.

Because of the need for rehearsal due to stage changes, Zhang Yimou felt time was tight and had no choice but to ask the Olympic Committee to give him more time to rehearse after the venue staff got off work.

Theoretically speaking, this is impossible.

But they had no choice but to agree since they were in the wrong in this matter.

There was nothing we could do, mainly because the big daddy named Spike had already finished his trip to France and headed straight to Athens. I heard that he didn't come alone, and was accompanied by a new French goddess who came to watch the closing ceremony. The entertainment industry in both Britain and France was going crazy over this.

On the one hand, the French mocked Britain for its meaningless resistance to Zhouyi;

On the other hand, the British media mocked the French music scene for its disastrous defeat, which ultimately had to rely on a woman to save the situation, which is very much in line with the French spirit.

Because the century-old friendship between Britain and France was involved, the two sides quarreled fiercely.

"Let's ignore them for now and send someone to pick up Spike and his team. So many people around the world are watching him..."

Compared to the great director Zhang Yimou, Zhou Yi is obviously more important now.

After having a meal with Giorgio Armani and mentioning Zhang Ziyi in passing, Zhou Yi, who had completed all the filming work, headed straight for Athens - Eva Green came purely to watch the closing ceremony of the Olympics and happened to come along.

After arriving in Athens, Zhou Yi also met with people from the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee and the Chinese delegation.

Zhang Yimou was really too busy and couldn't spare the time.

Zhou Yi's final song performance was the highlight, especially since he required more than 150 Chinese performers to participate, Zhang Yimou was naturally overwhelmed.

But there is no other way, I have to do it, I am the father of this.

When they entered the Olympic Stadium and met Zhang Yimou, the latter retorted about his performance arrangement: "To be honest, Zhou Yi, your stage requirements are too high. If the lighting goes wrong, it will be a performance accident."

"I am trying to round off the sense of division on the stage as much as possible. The stereotypes you have in front of me are too strong, so I can only make up for it through modernization, using modernization to accommodate the stereotyped elements in front of you."

Zhou Yi shrugged.

His plan was simple: since Zhang Yimou was using lanterns, silk dancing, Kung Fu, Peking opera and other Chinese elements, he would let the performers in the previous performance reappear on the stage for this modern song performance.

It just doesn't need to be as serious as the Zhang Yimou segment.

It was to the cheerful music of "Welcome To Beijing Jing" that everyone took brisk steps to act as the atmosphere group, and together with him, they extended an invitation to the world to come and participate in the Olympics in 08.

In this way, Zhang Yimou's previous three parts were all rigid and seemingly without any continuity, but they were integrated into one in his final performance of the song "Welcome To Beijing" -

which is:
After showing the strict Chinese elements in the first three segments, everyone except the first group of cheongsams stayed on the stage, and followed Zhou Yi who appeared on stage with brisk modern steps, wearing kung fu costumes and Peking Opera costumes.

After that, when it came time for the second chorus, the cheongsam group went off the stage and changed into their everyday clothes, facing the cameras broadcasting around the world with a youthful, beautiful and vigorous attitude, symbolizing the vitality and hope after modernization.

It also echoes the title of the song - "Welcome To Bei Jing".

He used this song as a clue to string together Zhang Yimou's three previous chapters that seemed to have no linear connection at all: the first part showed Chinese elements, and the second part welcomed the whole world.

As for the lighting, it is naturally similar to the lighting effect of Taylor Swift's Sydney concert.

Although it is impossible to restore it due to the limitations of the times, it is much better than having the same old red lanterns from beginning to end.

Although he is here now and the little girl Jasmine is no longer in our memory, the huge English welcome banner "Welcome To Beijing Jing" is still retained, and everyone will need to unfold the banner together at the end of the song.
