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

Chapter 726: No Martial Ethics, Cheating and Sneak Attack
To be honest, Zhou Yi thought that he could cause some stir after taking the responsibility. After all, he knew very well how much importance the country attached to the Olympics. But he never thought that he could actually stir up such a big stir.

The official media and the party media all got involved. This is the first time for people in the entertainment industry. People in the system who don’t know about it might think at first glance that another big tiger has been taken down, which is why the report was made.

"It's all thanks to my peers."

Zhou Yi quietly put the photos away and felt deeply moved.

To some extent, he also has to thank Zhang Yimou for his poor performance. After all, there is no harm without comparison - especially the sharp contrast formed by his front and back feet.

Even though he became a stepping stone, Zhang Yimou still had to thank him.

After all, in everyone's opinion, it was Zhou Yi who saved this terrible performance. If Zhou Yi hadn't backed it up, who knows how bad it would have been.

Moreover, Zhou Yi’s team has also tried to communicate with Zhang Yimou’s team.

According to rumors circulating in China, Zhou Yi had proposed modification suggestions to Zhang Yimou's team as early as the first rehearsal in China, but in the end none of them were adopted.

Really Zhou Yi tried his best.

"If Zhang Yimou heard this, he would be so heartbroken." Qian Jiang couldn't hold it in any longer. As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud out of joy.

Anyway, he had never thought that Zhou Yi would use Zhang Yimou as a stepping stone in the Olympics, and after that Zhang Yimou had to thank him with gratitude.

"Just wear it. He'll get used to it. The movie has been criticized so many times."

Zhou Yi was lying on the sofa with his fingers crossed and his head resting, feeling very comfortable. In the subsequent film market, Zhang Yimou was hurt many times. "Movies and TV Series" was so bad that Zhang Yimou himself was unwilling to admit that it was his work. No manuscripts about this movie could be found in the studio.

You should know that Zhang Yimou likes to seal and collect the manuscripts of his movies as souvenirs.

"That's true."

Qian Jiang thought Zhou Yi was talking about Zhang Yimou's two recent blockbusters which suffered a critical and public disastrous result, and nodded in agreement.

After "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers" was released, but the reviews were still bad. I wonder how the reviews of "A Single Man's Journey" will be when Zhang Yimou plans to return to the art film track at the end of this year and is about to start shooting.

Logically speaking, art films should be his comfort zone and should be able to restore some of his reputation.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, you still have to record a VCR."

Qian Jiang slapped his forehead when he realized he had forgotten something, and reached out to pull Zhou Yi up - he came to Zhou Yi in such a hurry, not only because Zhou Jianhui informed him, but also because he had the "important task" of recording a thank-you VCR.

"VCR?"

"To be honest, you are the luckiest star I have ever seen in my life, no doubt about it." Qian Jiang, who answered the irrelevant question, was deeply moved, and then explained the situation to Zhou Yi while he was still confused.

As we all know, the Olympics is not a sideline in this era and is still at the tail end of its peak. Even the Americans are trying every means to take drugs to increase the number of gold medals for themselves, and there are countless TV stations in various countries willing to broadcast it.

Zhou Yi's performance of "Welcome To Beijing Jing" at the closing ceremony in Athens was enough to be selected into his career live review, which was enough to attract a large number of viewers who watched the performance after the TV stations around the world broadcast it.

Naturally, riding on the momentum of the Olympics, "Welcome To Beijing" became a hit after the closing ceremony with its extremely catchy melody.

The purchase volume of the Apple Music Store is the best reflection of this.

Just one day after the closing ceremony of the Olympics, the number of copies of "Welcome To Beijing Jing" purchased in music stores more than doubled to 2,738,641 copies.

You know, among Zhou Yi's three English albums, this song is basically in the position of a lower-class horse. It had audiences before it was broadcast at the Olympics, but the sales volume in the Apple Music Store was only a little over one million. It can also be seen from the previous rankings in music charts in various countries -

Basically, they squeeze into the top 100 of the overall list or the top of the category list, and then disappear.

But right after the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games was broadcast, the single sales of this song, various music charts including the B chart, and the radio station's own chart data instantly began to soar, and its popularity even approached the top four most popular songs among Zhou Yi's three albums.

Moreover, since the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games was broadcast to countries all over the world, "Welcome To Beijing" became popular due to its stage performance and brainwashing melody, which in turn promoted the sales of Zhou Yi's albums around the world.

Not to mention the United States and Britain, the two juxtaposed father and son, in France, sales have been rising continuously due to the consecutive championships of "Happy". In European countries such as Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, etc., the sales of Zhou Yi's third album also ushered in a short-term explosive growth, which shocked all the people in the industry.

When an extremely popular pop song meets a perfect stage to promote it, it will indeed have the effect of boosting sales, such as the World Cup final that Zhou Yi got a bargain on in 02.

"No?! What the hell is wrong with his luck?!"

Eminem, who was working hard to promote his new album "Encore" in the UK in an attempt to not fall too far behind Zhou Yi and to continue to hold on to Zhou Yi in Europe, woke up on September 9 to bad news.

As of yesterday, the physical sales of Zhou Yi's new album "Listen/Future Sounds" in Europe and the United States have exceeded 1200 million copies, catching up with the previous global total sales. Including more than copies in China, million in Japan, more than copies in South Korea, and scattered data from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and even West Asia.

Total global sales have officially exceeded 1800 million copies!

Among them, the global broadcast of the Olympic Games closing ceremony played a major role!

Just like the 02 World Cup final, this time, even some African countries were touched upon by Zhou Yi, especially those small countries that were eager to make their presence felt at the Olympics.

Due to lack of information and channels, "Welcome To Bei Jing" even became a melody song played every day on the streets of some small countries during this period - although it didn't make much money, some of their radio stations would still play the MV for show.

Since this is the title of the song, there is no need to explain what the city landscape in the MV is.

"Originally, the biggest gap between you and him was sales in Asia, but since the 30th of last month, your sales in Europe and the United States have been further widened..." The agent was also annoyed.

Damn, Spike, this little bastard has no martial ethics. Why did he attack Eminem, a middle-aged man, like that?

All the people who participated in and planned this PK war in the parent company Universal Music, whether they were senior, middle or grassroots, felt helpless about this sudden and disastrous defeat. Eminem, who had finally taken an overdose of sedatives to fall asleep last night, now had dull eyes.

Others who saw this had an inexplicable illusion that their hearts were dead.

It's not that they didn't know that Spike would participate in the Olympics, but the news they received was that Spike himself had quarreled with Zhang Yimou's team, quarreled with the Greek Olympic Committee, etc.

The "spy" sent to spy on director Zhang Yimou also sent back news that Zhang Yimou's team's stage performance was just average, full of Chinese stereotypes, nothing special, and they were relieved.

Now look what the fuck this is a scam!

Spike was unethical. He used Zhang Yimou's team to trick them into relaxing their vigilance against the closing ceremony of the Olympics, and used a highly confidential performance to sneak attack Eminem, a man who was on a global tour...

"It's no one's fault. We can only blame Spike for being so mean-spirited." The agent could only comfort Eminem, who was staring with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. He put all the blame for the sudden defeat on Zhou Yi, and portrayed him as a villain who "came to cheat and sneak attack".

We can't let them say that their team thought there might be a gap, but didn't expect the gap to be so big.

Although the quality of Zhou Yi's third English album has declined compared to his second, it is also compared to his second English album. Looking at the global music scene, the quality of the songs in his album this year is still the best. Once he encountered a global stage like the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, the sensational effect brought in a short period of time was indeed enough to cause a sensation.

They have absolutely no solution.

"go out."

"Eminem, listen to me—"

"I said get out! I want to be alone! I need a doctor!! A doctor!!!"

Eminem suddenly had a nervous outburst, with veins bulging on both sides of his forehead. He looked extremely scary, and his saliva was flying everywhere. It was hard not to make his agent think of one thing - his condition has worsened and he needs to increase the dosage of the medicine.

“But, Eminem, your schedule—”

"Fuck! I said I needed a doctor! Don't you fucking understand?! I need a doctor!!!"

The red bloodshot eyes looked extremely bulging. The agent, who was startled by being grabbed by the collar, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I'll cancel it right away, I'll cancel it right away..."

After learning that Eminem's condition had worsened, people around him directly increased his medication dosage, but when they looked at each other in private, they couldn't help but feel desolate.

Eminem's mental state has been completely broken.

All along, the obsession that has supported him in his global tours has been to at least overtake in the European region, but now, with the broadcast of the closing ceremony of the Olympics, everything has become an illusion.

Not to mention 1800 million, it would be amazing if the final sales of his album could be fixed at 1200-1300 million.

As for the Zhouyi, it is obvious that the sales volume will exceed 2000 million copies.

Although the 3000 million club of his previous two albums was cut by one third, times have changed after all.

This "listen/Future Sounds" is destined to be the global album of the year in 2004. The highest sales of others is no more than 1300 million, the gap is too big.

Three years, three albums, three championships in a row.

This man from the far east was so incredibly strong that he made everyone despair.

Not to mention, Zhou Yi himself also has supplementary income from the Apple Music Store.

When everyone was still half-aware of the trend of digital music, his songs were simply the dominant ones on digital media music platforms. In addition, due to the contract with Apple, Apple not only could not make money from him, but had to give him bonuses instead.

The more I think about it, the more desperate I become. The more I think about it, the more I collapse.

《Eminem is completely devastated! 》

11 number.

After Warner announced the good news about sales yesterday, The New York Times still found out through its own spies that Eminem had suffered a mental breakdown, to the point where he had to rely on the assistance of multiple doctors and take large amounts of sedatives, sleeping pills and even painkillers to fall asleep.

Drug abuse and addiction caused by drug overdose are common in the United States.

"It's a pity that Eminem still couldn't overcome the huge mountain of Spike. This ruffian in the hip-hop circle finally knelt down in front of Spike. I feel sad for him, but I also feel desperate for the current American music industry..."

Eminem, who has been highly expected by many media since the war began and even the only hope of the American music industry, has fallen.

Rihanna, a little girl from Barbados who was discovered, signed and brought up by Zhou Yi, gained fame before her debut thanks to the strong exposure arranged by Warner. After being noticed by people thanks to Zhou Yi's songs, she praised him highly in an interview -

"Yes, I am not surprised by this result at all. I think Spike is the most versatile and powerful musician of all time. I consider him my role model. Without him, I might still be working in Barbados. I am willing to give everything for him, no matter when."

Depp: "Well, I don't really understand, you know, I don't know the ins and outs of this. But I think Spike is the best musician I know, I can say that responsibly."

Scarlett: "You guys can go write the headlines. I've said it before, I'd drink Spike's bath water if I could."

Robert Iger: "You know, this guy is incredible, and I'm eager to work with Spike again and bring his talents to Disney."

Kylie Minogue: "My relatives in Australia have asked me to help pick up more than 20 autographed Spike albums."

Justin Timberlake: "I love Spike's "Sexy Back", it's such a great song, I hope we can collaborate on music one day."

Britney Spears: "I like this guy Spike, date? Why not."

P. Diddy: "I've said Eminem can't beat Spike, and you guys laughed at me. It's a pity Spike doesn't have time to attend my party, but I still like him."

Shakira: "If there is one guest I would most like to invite to my concert, it would definitely be Spike."

Avril: "I hope he won't attack me again. Every time he tops the charts, I'm the victim! I'm the victim every time! Every time! He sneak attacks me without any moral principles!"

The Canadian little witch's tearful accusations to the media added a bit of fun to this war filled with smoke of gunpowder.

"Uh, is it possible that this was an accidental injury?"

On the 13th, Zhou Yi, who landed in Los Angeles to attend the celebration, smiled and responded in an interview: "Next time I will avoid her before releasing an album."

"Spike, what do you think of the news that Eminem was rushed to the hospital? Do you think you have caused great mental health damage to him?"

"Who?"

"Eminem."

“I don’t know her.”
