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

Chapter 721 What? I immigrated?

"I don't want to promote these stereotypes, but what can I do? These foreigners just know these."

Perhaps because of Zhou Yi's status and connections, Zhang Yimou also vented his bitterness: "I also want to put in other elements, but will they understand?"

If the order wasn't there, he really wouldn't want to continue doing this job.

From being full of enthusiasm at the beginning to being tired and uneasy now, every day in Athens is a torture for him now.

The time was short to begin with, only eight minutes, and yet so many messy and stupid things happened.

If Zhou Yi hadn't shown up in time to help him out, he would probably still be working all night to revise the new stage plan.

"That's true."

Zhou Yi didn't refute this.

In the Olympics, Zhang Yimou has done his best within the limited time and budget. After all, with eight minutes and no experience or venue, he couldn't create the grand and magnificent scene he had in his mind.

After all, he is still just a "national teacher" rather than a national teacher.

In the era of mobile Internet, the term "national master" has become a synonym for Zhang Yimou in the film and television industry, which is generally considered a compliment. But in fact, when it was first created, it was actually a derogatory term for Zhang Yimou.

Since he joined the Olympic strategy, Zhang Yimou has been ridiculed as the so-called "national teacher" in the domestic public opinion field. After the eight-minute defeat in Athens, the domestic media almost scolded him to pieces.

What really turned the tide for him and turned the term "national teacher" from a derogatory term into a complimentary one was the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games.

Except for the theme song "You and Me" which is about the referee being on the field and having no right to interfere with the athletes, Zhang Yimou delivered an amazing full score in all other aspects.

The truly magnificent trend crushed over, and all opponents were forced to remain silent.

Until finally they realized there was nothing left to criticize, the haters could only secretly point out that the 08 Olympic opening ceremony was extravagant and wasteful when they were taking stock after the Olympic carnival.

Even though he later made a terrible movie like "The Three Shots Surprise", passers-by and netizens still evaluated him on the whole: that is, they generally scolded him for making bad movies, but still praised him as a national master.

It wasn't until the movie "Half Lake Green" came out that he angered all the passers-by on the Internet with his shady tactics that he lost all his popularity, to the point that some people still scolded him for being old and immortal.

If anyone died immediately after the 08 Olympics, he would be instantly deified in the director circle.

I just don’t know what nickname I will get in the future——

Listening to Zhang Yimou's introduction to the rehearsal process, Zhou Yi's thoughts became somewhat divergent.

At this point in time, he estimated that he had become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of many people.

As the old saying goes, colonial people can never straighten their backs.

Even if the sixth-generation aircraft have taken off in the future and the Pentagon has gotten up at four in the morning on the second day of the Christmas holiday to work overtime, the germs will still choose to ignore it, and may even deceive themselves by modifying the sixth-generation aircraft entry, which even caused a not-so-small entry editing war.

"By the way, do you have a house in the United States?"

After introducing the process, Zhang Yimou, who led Zhou Yi to familiarize himself with the venue, waved goodbye to everyone around him and suddenly asked a question.

"what happened?"

"Some domestic media reported that you were planning to immigrate and wanted to use public opinion to kick you out of the delegation. The evidence was that you bought houses and land in the United States."

"..."

Zhou Yi was controlled by the brain circuits of this group of people for three seconds, and he was so angry that he laughed: "Are you really that impatient?"

In a way, Zhang Yimou and he are now really "brothers in distress."

"If you really plan to immigrate, keep a low profile recently, and I will help you cover it up." Zhang Yimou didn't feel anything about this. He was quite honest in this regard and had never thought of moving. He had a strong attachment to his hometown, otherwise he would have arranged for his wife to give birth in the United States, just like Chen Kaige.

But this is entirely a matter of personal choice, and he would not interfere with others, especially since Zhou Yi is a world superstar who has made huge profits internationally.

There are many people in the entertainment industry who have immigrated and changed their nationality these days. For example, Zhang Tielin is now a British citizen.

"I am not interested."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It's better to stay at home and get used to it."

He is a man who earns clean money and has done nothing wrong. He is a superior person wherever he goes. Why should he move? He cannot integrate into the Western world. If he goes there, he will be fattened up and slaughtered like a pig.

If you truly believe that personal property is inviolable in the West, then you will have it in this life.

"Okay, then remember to ask Warner to pay more attention."

Zhang Yimou didn't expect Zhou Yi to answer so straightforwardly. He swallowed the words even though they were on the tip of his tongue, and instead reminded him, "Your new album released in the United States has upset many people."

If side A is just about showing off skills and life, side B is pure face-lifting.

This is also the reason why some domestic media will seize the opportunity to spread rumors about Zhou Yi - yes, we all know that the aviation and flying in your album are real, but you can't boast about it, let alone sing praises of it.

Especially the song "Welcome To Bei Jing".

If this was a bad song, the media might not react so strongly. But the quality of this song is good. Even under the suppression of those songs with the potential to become the top single, it still shines with its own light. The city street scene in the MV is even more dazzling.

In mainstream European and American countries such as the United States, Britain, and France, this song has entered the top 100 of the overall charts or popular song charts.

That's enough to make people uncomfortable.

The fact that it can enter the top 100 of major charts actually proves that this song has a considerable audience in various countries.

Based on this, some people charge money, while others bring their own dog food to follow.

After learning from last year's experience, this group of people lurked for more than a month, avoiding the limelight - and finally, when they caught a fact about Zhou Yi, they used their journalistic charm to portray Zhou Yi as someone who "privately purchased land and was suspected of emigrating."

Don't ask, the only thing you know is that he does have a house in the United States.

"We have a CCTV crew following us. If necessary, I suggest you ask Warner to contact them and do a short interview to release it..."

Zhang Yimou shared his rich experience.

He has been accused of too many things in this regard, and the response process is very detailed.

"There's no rush. Since Lao Qian didn't tell me about this, he must have already dealt with it."

A one-stop service for collecting evidence and prosecuting - this is the usual method used by the new Warner to strike hard.

He is almost making himself a VIP of the court and a Pizza Hut in the capital. Warner’s cases are everywhere.

In other words, it is difficult to locate online rumors because it is difficult to find the people who spread them, but if there is a physical newspaper office or office location, it is very easy to locate them.

Of course, doing so also brought a consequence to Zhou Yi - he was said to be domineering.

In this age where freedom of speech is advocated and believed in everywhere, Zhou Yi's behavior will undoubtedly arouse the disgust of many people - especially if Warner really randomly opens the box to find some rumor mongers who spread false information about Zhou Yi on the Internet, and sends them to jail for a few days to make an example of them.

After Warner (China) became the one-man show for Zhou Yi, this situation occurred more and more frequently.

It can be said that he created a precedent for celebrities in the entertainment industry.
