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

Chapter 730: The Entertainment Circle Tang Monk Meat
"So will you go to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou or other cities next?"

"No, I'm very busy and don't have much time."

The next morning, while eating breakfast, Zhou Yi faced Cai Zhuoyan's question and shook his head decisively: "After attending your premiere, I have to rush to Changsha without stopping."

As for things like movie premieres, Zhou Yi personally feels that they are quite boring.

First, a group of people held a press conference to chat and talk, and then in the evening, a large-scale Avenue of Stars was held. The film's main creators and the stars who came to help out all took the stage to walk around, and finally hundreds or even thousands of fans who were watching the scene were allowed to enter the venue to watch the movie.

After watching it, the main creator came on stage to ask for opinions, and finally everyone said hello and made dumplings together.

Most importantly, this is more than just a repetition.

The world premiere was held in the capital, and after that they had to go to Shanghai the next day, Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, and so on. Basically, before the film was officially released nationwide on the 24th, the film's main creators had to travel back and forth between several major cities, and the process was the same every time.

Therefore, as a guest star, Zhou Yi will definitely not follow the main creators of the crew around. It would be enough for him to come to the world premiere in the capital to help out. The same goes for Jiang Wen.

The two of them are basically already in the imperial capital and don't have to travel long distances.

"That's a shame. I thought you could come along and run with us. With you around, the gimmick will definitely be no less than the next door '2046'."

It’s a pity for Cai Zhuoyeon.

Released at the same time as "New Police Story" is Wang Jiawei's masterpiece "2046", which took him five years to prepare.

From 1999 to 2004, this masterpiece, which is said to be the collection of Wang Jiawei's career, attracted the attention of many fans at the beginning of its promotion.

In addition to the fame of the Sunglasses King himself, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi, Wang Fei, Gong Li, Liu Jialing, Dong Jie, Zhang Manyu and even the Japanese idol king Kimura Takuya, all of these stars are so brightly displayed on the poster that it is enough to make people dazzled.

Except for Takuya Kimura, the other stars are basically those who are currently very well-known in the country.

Coupled with the four-year filming and one-year production cycle, "2046" was used by the curious and even the producers of "2046" to compete with Cheng Long's "New Police Story" at the beginning of its release. They wanted to emulate the battle that Zhou Yi had just ended in the United States and launch a marketing war to stimulate the box office.

After all, the National Day Golden Week is coming soon, which is a bonus period for rapid box office growth.

If Zhou Yi could join in the promotion, the topic of "the two heroes of the past" alone would be enough to create a huge stir.

"Are you still afraid of 2046?"

Zhou Yi, who took a bite of the bun, didn’t understand.

"Of course I'm not afraid, but the current situation is that they are playing with bondage, and Chenglong himself is a little helpless." Cai Zhuoyan, who was wearing cool clothes, brushed her teeth and leaned on the back of the sofa and said vaguely.

"I said so."

Zhou Yi chuckled.

Behind "2046" is the Shanghai Film Group, so Chenglong certainly can't say anything and can only lie down and let it take advantage of him.

It is obvious that Shanghai Film Group really wants to promote the brand of "2046" as much as possible and make a fortune from it to avoid wasting years of investment.

This movie dragged on for way too long.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, it seems that the scammer was successful.

"New Police Story" grossed 1600 million in three days, but when it was finally released, the total box office in mainland China was only over million, which was a collapse in word of mouth and lack of momentum.
The reputation of "2046" was not as bad as Cheng Long's. Many people opened champagne and criticized Cheng Long's movie. In the end, it won a box office of about million in mainland China.

Judging from the mainland box office alone, the final gap between the two sides was indeed not that big.

"You don't know that Bona is going to hold a banquet for 2046 people for our premiere. After the news came out, also said they would hold one, just to compete with us."

The mainland distributor of "New Police Story" is Bona.

"Just benchmark it."

Zhou Yi still rejected the request to accompany him for more promotional shows: "Instead of thinking about this, you might as well think more about the new album. Didn't you say you want to enter the mainland market?"

It's not like he's the lead actor in the film, so a cameo appearance will suffice.

"Then I will definitely have to make my debut next year. I have to finish filming a movie in the second half of this year and I have to avoid the schedules of several female singers, so I can only come next year." When talking about her singing career, Cai Zhuoyeon suddenly said coquettishly.

Even with Zhou Yi's "I Don't Want to Grow Up", Ying Huang is still unwilling to take risks.

Sun Yanzi, the No. 1 female singer of Warner Music, has not released an album yet. Anyone who bumps into her will be cannon fodder. Not to mention Xiao Yaxuan, who was selected as the No. 1 female singer in Chinese music because of her impressive achievements.

It is said that it will return at the end of the year.

If these two gods start fighting, then the others will suffer.

The eldest and the second oldest had a fight and ended up beating the third oldest to death. Yinghuang had already suffered a loss once when Zhou Yi just debuted.

Not to mention that the current record market is in a much worse situation than it was in the past due to its gradual decline. Yinghuang must have chosen a time slot without any competitors before allowing Twins to enter the mainland market.

"Also, I always feel like Ajiao's condition isn't right. She seems to be very sensitive to the camera lately, and isn't very suitable for filming music videos. She said she was tired from filming the movie and wanted to take a break."

Talking about her good sister's recent reaction that was like a frightened bird, Cai Zhuoyeon complained: "When she was rumored to be dating Fang Guming before, she was smiling so happily in front of the camera."

Zhouyi: "..."

Second brother stood up!
Having too good an associative ability is also a sin.

Zhou Yi's expression was a little strange, and Cai Zhuoyan's expression was even stranger. She raised her hand and patted Xiao Xiao Yi: "What are you thinking about? Eating me is not enough, right? You are born in the year of the dog? Do you want to come together someday?"

"It's not impossible. I'll take a picture of the two of you stacked together."

"Screw you."

Cai Zhuoyan just treated it as a hobby in private and didn't take it seriously: "You're still taking pictures, you're going to die, if it gets exposed, we'll all be dead."

No matter how open and blatant the society in Hong Kong is, this behavior is still too advanced.

She dared not think.

"No, you don't want to take a photo, do you? Did this trip to America open up a new world for you?" Cai Zhuoyen, who was brushing her teeth, suddenly came to her senses and looked him up and down with a strange look.

Zhou Yi shrugged innocently: "Don't slander me, I'm not interested in filming these."

Although he still admires Mr. Chen for passive open source.

"I advise you not to have any thoughts about Ajiao. Chen Guanxi loves her very much. Ever since Ajiao had several scandals with several male actors this year, he has been very interested in Ajiao. The two of them are in love wholeheartedly."

Not sure if she was jealous or thinking of some unspeakable scene, Cai Zhuoyan half-seriously warned: "If you really do something to her, be careful that Chen Guanxi will come after you and kill you. Shawn Yue was almost beaten by him behind the door."

"Why didn't you say that Ajiao would reject me sternly?" Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and caught the highlight.

"I don't know her yet. Her crotch is very loose. She even hooked up with Fang Tuming during the previous filming, but was warned by Lin Fengjiao. Chenglong couldn't say anything and just pretended not to see it."

"You two really deserve to be teammates."

Zhou Yi laughed out loud and gave her a thumbs up.

"Stop it."

Cai Zhuoyan, who had put aside all her disguises, did not hide her intentions at all: "What about you and Zhang Ziyi? When you were not back a few days ago, in the interview about "2046", she actually said that the male artist she wanted to work with the most was you?"

"?"

Zhou Yi slowly typed a question mark: "There are so many female artists who want to work with me, who is she?"

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

"I guess I am a toad wanting to eat swan flesh?" On the afternoon of the 20th, at the Hong Kong promotion event for "2046".

Zhang Ziyi, who knew that the New Police Story crew was holding a banquet for thousands of people in the capital, rarely spoke harshly to reporters, but instead put herself in a lower position: "Zhou Yi is the best artist I have ever seen since I entered this circle. You don't have to write nonsense, I can say it clearly."

A group of Hong Kong reporters: "..."

No, what do you mean?
Aren’t you the heroine of “2046”?

Shouldn’t the male lead in your drama be Liang Chaowei?

What does it mean that you don't praise him, but instead praise the Zhouyi, which has nothing to do with him?
You still say you are a toad. What kind of magic potion did Zhou Yi give you?
Wang Fei, Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, Dong Jie and other female stars couldn't help but glance at this high-spirited new international movie star.

Apart from Dong Jie, the others were successful women with their own connections in the international community. They had also learned about Zhang Ziyi's purpose of licking Zhou Yi through their own channels.

Fashion resources.

Zhang Ziyi has become the first female star in the mainland to be inspected by Armani. At next year's Cannes Film Festival, Zhang Ziyi herself will wear a high-end dress provided by Armani.

The key point is that Zhou Yi introduced this casually without taking it seriously, and the reason was simply the ridiculous sentence "We are all Chinese, and when we go out, we should try our best to help."

This is simply a living saint in the entertainment industry.

Even though they have been in the entertainment industry for a long time, they were still confused for a long time when they first got this answer.

They once suspected it was a character setting, but after finding out, they found out that Zhou Yi really didn't seem to like Zhang Ziyi -

It just so happened that he was in France at that time and Armani himself was also in France, so he mentioned it casually, which gave Zhang Ziyi the opportunity to push open Armani's door and negotiate with others.

This is too grassy.

What about equivalent exchange?
Just don’t want it?

"You mean, you like Zhou Yi, right Ziyi?"

"Who wouldn't like a man like him?"

Zhang Ziyi, who was wearing pearl earrings, smiled and said, "But it's obvious that there is no possibility between him and me."

"why?"

"Excuse me, are you feeling inferior?"

"Why do you say that?"

"you……"

"Just think of it as me having low self-esteem. But even so, I'm still better than some women who dare not admit anything, right?"

Zhang Ziyi smiled meaningfully, while on the other side, Zhang Manyu's face turned completely cold.

The two people who had been at odds with each other since "Hero" became complete enemies in "2046". After the film was completed, Zhang Manyu, who found that she had very few shots, almost turned against the King of Sunglasses, especially because she couldn't stand the fact that Zhang Ziyi became the heroine in the film.

If it weren't for the pressure of the contract, she wouldn't even want to participate in the promotion of "2046".

The reporters at the scene all had golden light in their eyes - as if they saw mountains of gold waving at them.

Correct!
This is it!

This is what we want to see!
Tear it up! Tear it up!
Isn’t a fight between two women more interesting than Chenglong rolling on the ground in the movie?

They have thought out the storyline.

Breaking up over Zhou Yi, Zhang Manyu is attracted to young girl, while Zhang Ziyi steals her love away!

What? The male lead of this movie is Liang Chaowei?
Go play with your eggs.

"First of all, this is a rumor, a baseless gossip."

The premiere of "New Police Story".

When asked about this, Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly and said, "Secondly, I haven't even met Ms. Zhang Manyu, and Wang Fei and Gong Li are even more ridiculous. You might as well ask me about Eva Green. At least I can talk to you about the photos that were taken."

It was clearly just a guest appearance, but he ended up sitting in the middle next to Cheng Long. Zhou Yi teased the reporters: "Finally, please look carefully at where this is, thank you."

As for Jiang Wen, he was sitting next to Zhou Yi.

The two guest appearances pushed all the supporting roles to the back.

"Excuse me, Zhou Yi, are you ready to switch to the film industry?"

"No, this time Brother Chenglong just offered me an offer that I can hardly refuse - an offer that I can hardly refuse." Zhou Yi couldn't even hold back his laughter when he was halfway through his speech, and Chenglong also laughed out loud, leaving the reporters below the stage confused.

"What are the conditions? A sky-high franchise fee?"

"What? No, no, no, it's Brother Jiang Wen." Cheng Long laughed loudly, and finally told the truth that he had been hiding at the premiere -

"Ayi said at the time that he didn't want to come at all. Later, I changed my mind and told him that I was going to ask Brother Jiang to play the role of Tingfeng's father. I asked him if he wanted to play Jiang Wen..."

Cheng Long danced with joy when talking about the exciting part: "Then guess what Ayi said? He said that this role should not be moved, and he would definitely come, even if he brought his own truck. He had to be the one to face Jiang Wen, and money was no big deal."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

What the hell!

At the moment when all the insiders on the stage couldn't hold back their laughter, the reporters below were boiling with excitement -

How deep is this hatred?
"Ahem, I want to reiterate one thing here. There is no hatred between Zhou Yi and me."

Jiang Wen, who couldn't hold back his own laughter, added fuel to the fire, "That's right, Zhou Yi, I hope you remember one thing, God has its way, and no one can escape. Let's wait and see, you've bumped into me more than ten or twenty times, I remember that."

When the news interview session was over, and the evening's Avenue of Stars was over, and the media watched Zhou Yi's Easter egg-like performance, the news the next day exploded -

"Outlaws: Zhou Yi's guest appearance on the big screen is a perfect debut! "

"Jiang Wen's Passion: He Said He Was Hit Fifty Times!"

Zhou Yi: I never hold grudges

"The Heroine Defects: Zhang Ziyi Defects from the New Police Story Crew"

《Zhang Ziyi talks about her ideal boyfriend: I want to find someone like Zhou Yi, or at least someone who has some of Zhou Yi's qualities》

Since "2046" was originally launched to compete with "New Police Story", the crew and the producer did not stop Zhang Ziyi's behavior. Instead, they acquiesced to the popularity brought by her mention of Zhou Yi.

Some female stars in the circle who knew the truth became even more jealous of Zhou Yi, and they wished they could break off one of his arms and bite it on the spot.

With the blessing of all kinds of weird news in Zhouyi, the popularity of "New Police Story" after the premiere far exceeded Bona's expectations. The pre-sale of movie tickets on the 24th was directly sold out in several major theaters in the three first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Yes, it was packed.

Tickets for several major cinema chains, including Warner, are sold out...
