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

Chapter 727: One person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven
The strong prey on the weak and there are clear class distinctions.

The entertainment industry is so cruel.

Even though Eminem's performance was already amazing enough, there was still the even more amazing bug of Zhou Yi.

It's a pity that he was not scolded by him in person, otherwise Zhou Yi would have been given the title of Situ of the King of Europe and America - as an emperor, it is reasonable for me to grant him the title of Situ.

In the face of the huge gap, no matter how hard Eminem's fans try, it will be of no avail - they cannot compete in rankings, their sales are far behind, and the last fig leaf should have been an unquantifiable "musicality", but Zhou Yi's album directly innovated a new technology in the music industry.

Now, the musicality of Eminem's album that fans praise is only visible to fans, but the technological innovation brought by Zhou Yi's album directly caused a heated discussion in the industry.

Comparing the two, it is obvious whose album is more musical.

A complete defeat in all aspects, Zhou Yi won a great victory!
Win! Win win win all the way!!!

The arrogant Zhou Yi fans were jumping around everywhere, so unscrupulous.

"Eminem! Get down on your knees!"

"50 Cent, get down on your knees!"

"Dr. Dre! Get on your knees!"

"Whoever you are, kneel down!"

"..."

Just like calling out names in the Book of Life and Death, every time someone is called out, he or she will be killed, and they will kneel down at the beginning, which is extremely arrogant.

On the 14th, the Los Angeles Times broke the news directly:

When the largest Zhou Yi fan group in Los Angeles gathered offline, they specially found several cardboard model figures and dressed them in the most classic looks from Eminem's music videos to hint at who was who. Finally, they broke their legs and made them kneel down.

Every time a cardboard man's legs were broken and made to kneel, everyone in the rally would shout in unison - "Eminem! Kneel down!".

According to the reporter who broke the news, many people at the scene recorded this extremely happy moment for them, but because it involves the privacy of many people, he cannot release the video and can only release a few pictures.

Looks like your mom's cult meeting.

The Los Angeles Times criticized this phenomenon and derived the question of whether Warner was intentionally condoning and guiding the members of Zhou Yi's fan club to do such unscrupulous things in order to gather the centripetal force of this group of people and make a lot of gold coins for Zhou Yi himself.

"To be honest, it is indeed like a cult."

Zhou Yi, who got one of the original videos through Warner, felt like laughing after watching it.

All the crazy fans need to do is to gather together to get gold coins, but as an idol, he needs to consider a lot more, such as how to keep himself out of trouble while still letting these crazy fans give him popcorn.

Don't ask, if you ask, Zhou Yi giegie is pure and innocent, and has the strength to dominate the world, so there is no need to do these double-faced operations behind the scenes;
It's all about conspiracy and jealousy. All the bad news is deliberately framed and slandered by friendly competitors - Sony, Universal, and EMI are here to be beaten!
"It's just a last-ditch effort. Who knows if the organizer is your fan or not. He's relying on this to attract attention. What if he gets exposure and popularity, and is invited to be on TV to make money?" Qian Jiang was too lazy to deal with such low-level fan circle tactics.

Black traffic is also traffic, what if they are doing some reverse manipulation?

Even if these people are all Zhou Yi's true fans, they are also a group of fans that Qian Jiang will never let Zhou Yi get in touch with.

Every one of them is a moron.

"For you, the most important priority right now is to return to China to serve as a judge and accept interviews." Qian Jiang took out two documents from a file bag and placed them in front of him with a smile.

"?"

Zhou Yi, who didn't understand what was going on, flipped through the first document and took a look. He also laughed: "Is this considered a shady deal?"

"When it comes to the national finals, everyone is competing for the power and background behind them. Now you are the biggest, and the forces behind others have to stand aside." Qian Jiang laughed and didn't take it to heart at all.

The competition for the first, second and third place in each division of the 2004 "Super Girl" has already come to an end. The top three in each division will participate in the national finals, which has completely pushed the popularity of this grassroots star talent show to its climax.

Among them, as the champion of the Chengdu division, Zhang Liangying, who is under Warner, has seen her popularity soar after entering the national finals. She has surpassed An Youqi, Wang Ti, Zhang Hanyun and others to become the favorite to win the championship, and she is likely to become the first champion voted by the whole people to debut.

Of course, since the popularity of this program has exceeded everyone's imagination by the national finals, some people are definitely unwilling to help Warner when the interests of all parties are involved - but this dissatisfaction completely disappeared after Zhou Yi's eight minutes of Olympic Games.

They have to break up. At this point in time, no one in the entertainment industry dares to touch Zhou Yi's interests. Only those public intellectuals who have always been at odds with him are still scolding Zhou Yi on their personal blogs, calling him a petty thief who plays the patriotism card.

As the first favorite to win the championship by popular vote, Zhang Liangying's full contract has always been in the hands of Warner. Her outstanding performance in reaching the national finals step by step also benefited from Warner's past training, and there is no possibility of poaching her.

Therefore, in this situation, Hunan TV and Tianyu, who simply wanted to maximize their profits, invited Warner to invite Zhou Yi to be the guest judge of this year's finals.

We will give the championship to the newcomer your company has been promoting, guarantee that we will not suppress anyone's popularity, and give your company's people a stage to show off their talents in front of a crowd. In exchange, Zhou Yi, is it okay for you to help build momentum for our finals?

"Super Girl" is also a music program, which is completely consistent with your major in Zhouyi.

"You know what, this music talent show, which claims to have a zero threshold for the masses, is quite interesting. It's also very popular right now, so they want to maximize the brand effect of the program group and make it an annual or biennial program, so they need big names in the music industry to support it."

Qian Jiang, who saw this kind of novel program for the first time in China, was amazed at the ability of the program crew to play with people's hearts: "This should be the most popular variety show this year. If it is made into a New Year's program, then this brand can definitely become the TV station's trump card."

In today's domestic music scene, is there anyone who can represent music better than Zhou Yi?
The answer is no.

If you want popularity, you have popularity; if you want achievements, you have achievements; if you want awards, you have awards.

If it weren't for the new female artist Zhang Jingying who Warner wanted to strongly promote on this show, the production team believed that they would most likely not even be qualified to submit an invitation letter to Warner.

After all, Zhou Yi is well-known for focusing only on his music career, and he basically does not appear on any variety shows except during the album promotion period.

It would be harder than climbing to the sky to invite him.

"In addition to you, they have also invited Lee Jong-seong to be the guest judge for the final on September 9, and he has already confirmed that he will participate, but the production team is keeping it a secret and has not announced it yet."

Compared to Luo Dayou, who has basically retired behind the scenes, Lee Jong-seong is still active in front of the stage after dealing with his emotional affairs.

"September 9? That's fine. Although the time is a bit tight, we should be able to make it."

Seeing the final date on the document, Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "Then go and support Liangying."

When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit, and she should benefit too.

After all, she is one of the future middle-aged female singers in the mainland, and she is also an internal employee of the company. She flew back to the capital on the 20th to attend the premiere of "New Police Story", and flew directly to Changsha on the 23rd to serve as a judge. It was not too late.

The second document is about the premiere of "New Police Story".

On September 9, the world premiere of "New Police Story" was held in the imperial capital, and the film will be officially released nationwide on the 20th.

Although Zhou Yi only had a cameo role of less than ten minutes, there was no way the producers would let go of his popularity and legendary status. It was time for the truth to come out when Jiang Wen, who had been kept secret, was hit by a car.

Since this movie also has the gimmick of "Zhou Yi's big screen debut", even though he is only a cameo character appearing in the post-credits scene, the organizers of the premiere still put him on the promotional poster in a serious manner, with Cheng Long standing in the center position.

The former nemesis Xie Tingfeng can only take a back seat on the poster. Don't ask, the only thing you know is that Zhou Yi has a very important role in the film.

Ask about suicide again.

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

"Zhou Yi agreed?"

"agreed."

"Great, promote it! Promote it as a surprise for me! Keep the news about Lee Jong-seong secret. No rush. Release it the day before the finals. Zhou Yi's attendance is the most important thing now. Lee Jong-seong can just be a surprise guest."

Changsha, the meeting room of the "Super Girl" program team.

When Warner Bros. decided that Zhou Yi could attend the finals and be a judge, all the directors and planners of the program group felt a sense of ecstasy from the bottom of their hearts.

"I said that I was right not to suppress Zhang Jingying's votes. Zhou Yi is famous for being nostalgic and protective of his shortcomings. Isn't this his reward?"

"Tell those people from Tianyu to be more careful and not to blame Zhang Jingying for the loss. They should help others."

"Zhang Jingying must win the championship without any controversy and with great fanfare. We want to use this opportunity to establish the program's reputation, so that there will be a steady influx of new forces in the future."

The buzz of discussion filled the meeting room with a cheerful atmosphere.

Default champion?

Brothers, Zhang Jingying will definitely win the championship. It would be a shady deal if she doesn't. Do you really think Warner's elite training is just for show?

Moreover, Qianjiang had arranged for her to learn from Cai Yilin's advanced experience early on, and she went to Japan for training. Taking advantage of her young age and quick recovery ability, she made some minor adjustments, and her temperament improved a lot without any drastic changes.

Coupled with her already strong professional abilities, after entering the national competition, she had a huge gap with the second and third place.

If this popularity doesn't win the championship in the end, it would be considered as vote suppression.

As for the photos before the plastic surgery - you were young at that time, wouldn't it be okay if you grew up?

Haven't you heard that girls change a lot when they grow up? !
Do you understand the value of the goddess chosen by the public?

Under Warner's operation, Zhang Jingying, who has not released a solo album and currently participates in the competition by singing covers, is on the verge of becoming a first-tier singer in terms of popularity. If nothing unexpected happens, she will release an album after the competition and will basically be able to enter the ranks of popular singers.

After all, Warner has the great god Zhou Yi.

It’s hard to say whether Zhou Yi would not write songs for singers from the same company.

After clearing out the dissidents, Zhou Yi has proved with practical actions that he will write songs for singers other than Sun Yanzi in the company. The typical case known to the public is Hu Yanbing.

After Hu Yanbing's new album "MuSiC Hybrid" was released, the title song "Red Beauty" in his album attracted the attention of the public——

Lyrics: Zhou Yi;
Composer: Hu Yanbing.

Because of the involvement of that man, the song "Beauty" was highly anticipated before it was released, and once released it quickly soared into the top ten of major charts.

"Sword-cooked wine has no taste, for whom shall I drink?" became a popular lyric on campuses in just one week. The song even topped the MP3 search and download charts for three days.

With this song and this album, Hu Yanbing became another popular singer under Warner, no longer a singer who was only popular in a certain range.

"In fact, the lyrics of this song have troubled me for a long time, but I have never written it. One day, I was still thinking hard in the company, and suddenly heard the news that Brother Yi had returned, so I bravely knocked on the door of his lounge.

"To be honest, I was very nervous at the time, but Brother Yi was very nice. He listened to me patiently and knew how important this album was to me, so he decided to help me write the lyrics. I am really grateful to him. The lyrics he wrote were perfect, and that's what made me who I am today."

At the celebration party for the physical album "MuSiC Hybrid" which sold 30 copies in the mainland and 45 copies nationwide, the scene where Hu Yanbing tearfully thanked the company, fans, Zhou Yi and his family for their support has become a famous scene that many ordinary people and netizens talk about with relish.

At that time, Zhou Yi was still fighting with Eminem abroad and had no time to attend.

In addition, it was Zhou Yi who gave him the opportunity to sing the Chinese theme song for the Asian Cup, which made countless musicians jealous of the treatment they received within Warner.

This is simply a god-like company. As the boss, Zhou Yi really supports his juniors.

If a person like this were to say that he would not write songs for Zhang Jingying in the future, no one would believe it, not to mention that Zhang Jingying is an open fan of Zhou Yi.

After all, the path of her being discovered by Warner had already been dug out by the powerful media -

It was determined that the video was seen at Zhou Yi’s concert.

Being discovered just by watching a concert is really a hot topic.

This is a two-way flow of positive energy between fans and idols!
After receiving the company's notice, Zhang Jingying, who knew she would be attending the Zhouyi finals as a guest, even began to breathe faster.

"I know, I will try my best!"

She was very excited.

She has waited too long to go from being a fan to where she is now.

Now, she wants to prove it to her idol.

Even if someone is always gossiping about her behind her back.

"It can be said that one person's success has brought prosperity to the whole family. Even I have to benefit from his help now."

On the 16th, after Zhou Yi set out on his journey back home, Cheng Long, who received a call from him, looked somewhat emotional as he watched the staff setting up the scene at the premiere.

After they officially announced that Zhou Yi would appear in the movie "New Police Story" and have a certain role, the popularity and attention of the movie soared to a level he could hardly imagine.

"He is the most popular person in China right now, which is normal as it is his first appearance on the big screen." Director Chen Musheng also felt a little sad.

Even more sad than him is Xie Tingfeng, who has been relegated to the second line on the poster.

At this moment, he was hiding in a corner alone, leaning against the wall, looking up, and staring at the huge poster that had been hung up.

As the leading male character, it was natural for Chenglong to stand in the C position, but Zhou Yi, who had a guest role with less than ten minutes of screen time, also stood in the C position.

And he was only qualified to show one-third of his body behind Zhou Yi...

His eyes moved slightly, and it was unknown whether he was recalling how glorious it was when he and Zhou Yi competed against each other in the domestic music scene.

The two former heroes are now separated by a world of difference, which is a sad result.
