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

Chapter 741 Damn, what a tyrant!
Zhou Yi also has a reason to say that knowing yourself and the enemy is the key to victory. If "Celebrity.BIGSTAR" is like that, then it is normal for him to read more and learn more about the content published by the other party and find illegal content.

He definitely doesn't come here for the sake of reading gossip. Zhou Yi is definitely not such a boring person.

"But then again, these bastards are really interesting. If they can't get under someone's bed, they'll just climb trees and walls with their cameras. They'll take pictures until they die, and they're not afraid of being beaten."

While the CCTV staff were setting up equipment in the recording studio, Zhou Yi, smiling, took out a small magazine that he was actually reading.

On the inside pages, the photos of Chen Kaige on the set of the commercial blockbuster "The Promise" are extremely clear, including the ambiguous postures between Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi, Chen Kaige's fierce look when he was swearing on the set, and Chen Hong's chest when she was wearing casual clothes on the set.

Since I took the photo from the top of a wall, the angle of view is naturally from top to bottom.

Photographer Feng Ke is obviously an expert in his field and knows what can sell well.

Imagination is the best interest, release your imagination!
Although Chen Hong is getting older, she still obviously retains some of her former beauty charm. After all, she just filmed "The Legend of the White Snake" at the beginning of the millennium, and the character Chang'e once again fascinated many men and women who followed the drama.

It’s just that the styling in “The Promise” is too eye-catching, and it was criticized by a lot of netizens after it was exposed.

Sun Yanzi's eyes widened a lot when he saw it——

"Is Chen Kaige so hard-working in filming a movie that he would even use his own wife to make trouble?"

She has also experienced making movies to create news and stir up popularity. For example, when she was in the "Kung Fu" crew, various news about Zhou Xingchi broke out every now and then. Some of them were really secretly photographed, such as the condom that was used up after being called in;

Some of the information was released by the crew on their own initiative.

After hanging out with Zhou Yi for a long time, Sun Yanzi, whose abstract nature was gradually exposed, opened her mouth and Zhou Yi immediately glanced at her with a strange expression: "Is there a possibility that this candid photographer was determined enough to squat in this group of pictures?"

Feng Ke, a future famous photographer in the paparazzi world, one of the two trump cards of "BIGSTAR", Zhuo Wei's golden partner, a ruthless man who could withstand the pursuit and even beating of more than a dozen people in the cold weather, take photos and jump into the river to escape, was born for this job.

These are the photos he took on the set of “The Promise”.

The other of the two trump cards of "Star.BIGSTAR" is an old acquaintance of Zhou Yi - Zhuo Wei, who lost his job at the "Daily News" because of reporting Zhou Yi, was recruited to work here.

It was also on "STAR.BIGSTAR" that Zhuo Wei met his golden partner, photographer Feng Ke, and formed the "Gossip Twins". They were invincible and made many celebrities angry.

"This photographer is so talented, why doesn't he work as a photographer?" Sun Yanzi was puzzled, with doubts in his clear eyes.

Anyone with this kind of ability would be a sought-after ace photographer by serious media, right?

"It's because they have a lot of money. What other reasons could there be? If they really caught some big news, they could make a lot of money just from the hush money."

This way of making money for well-known paparazzi has been taught in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so it is not difficult to follow suit. Although this era is not as good as the mobile Internet era, the hush money is still considerable if converted in a proportional way, which is much better than getting a bonus from a regular job.

Not to mention that Feng Ke’s photography skills aren’t strong enough to handle any big occasions, so he can only shine on the paparazzi circuit.

"The man who put our address in the newspaper—"

"It wasn't him, it was two paparazzi I don't know, I haven't heard of them."

Zhou Yi shook his head.

At first he really thought it was Zhuo Wei who did it, but after looking closely he found out it wasn't.

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

"That's nonsense, I definitely wouldn't dare to do that. This guy is too weird."

"BIGSTAR" office area.

Zhuo Wei, who had just returned, lit a cigarette and sat behind the door of the emergency exit on the floor, puffing away at the smoke. He leaned against the railing against Feng Ke, his close comrade-in-arms whom he had become acquainted with after entering the magazine: "It would be a lie to say that I don't want to retaliate, but what can I do?
"All the advantages I was proud of were useless to Zhou Yi. I was only fired from the Daily News last time, which was good enough. I even suspected that this bastard didn't even notice me. It was simply the work of those lackeys in his company.

"Otherwise, with his vindictive nature, I might have to stay in jail for a few days."

"It's not that weird. The Daily News can't go against Zhou Yi, but it's different here. They have Guangming Media behind them, and Guangming is the former editor-in-chief of Southern Weekend. He has a lot of connections. Zhou Yi can't reach out to them."

Feng Ke took the cigarette handed to him by his good partner, put it in his mouth and said nonchalantly.

Yes, Zhou Yi’s connections are impressive, but Guangguang is no pushover either.

Besides, such a small fight wouldn't alarm the big shots, as they weren't that idle. At most, it would just be an exchange of interests, and their boss Zeng Guangming was very familiar with this.

When he secretly filmed "The King's Woman 2" and "House of Flying Daggers", the other party was very angry. After the boss Zeng Guangming personally came to apologize, the negotiations were settled.

The same thing happened with “The Promise” this time. Again, the boss personally apologized and reconciled in private, giving Chen Kaige enough face. The latter was not so angry anymore, and even said something like “If only people who make movies could have such perseverance, blah blah”.

"That's true."

Zhuo Wei, who had gone through a tough time after being unexpectedly fired, took a deep puff, as if he wanted to get rid of all the bad times in one breath: "But I still don't want to take Zhou Yi's order, let someone else take it."

He just wants to make money now and doesn't want to be dragged into the quagmire of Zhouyi.

The "Star.BIGSTAR" platform provides him with great opportunities to make money and learn. After he finishes his studies, he can naturally work on his own and earn more money.

Zhuo Wei's mind was clattering with calculations.

He even wanted to get his good partner Feng Ke to join him and work together. This person cooperated with him very closely.

"It's very valuable to be able to take pictures of Zhou Yi's real black material. Some people are even willing to spend a million to buy it." Feng Ke was still very tempted.

That's 100 million.

He had never seen so much money paid in one go since he started his career.

If he really couldn't do it, he would have wanted to crawl under Zhou Yi's bed.

This fucking bastard actually bought a building directly, and there are only three residents in the building now, and the three team members are all familiar with each other, so he can't get in even if he wants to pretend to be someone else.

Too outrageous.

"I received news that Zhou Yi is still looking for a villa. He will probably have to live in that building until he finds one. You should give up." Zhuo Wei reminded him.

Feng Ke was so angry that his teeth itched: "What a damn waste, if so many empty houses were rented out..."

That’s the core area.

Zhuo Wei sneered: "The rent for half a year is probably not as high as his monthly copyright fee for English songs. He earns US dollars, Dao Le doesn't care about such a small amount of money. Coca-Cola still has to pay him more than one or two million US dollars every year for his Chinese and English promotional song called "Flag of Victory"."

This song, which can be regarded as the most successful advertising song in the history of Coca-Cola, has brought Zhou Yi stable follow-up income, which is the income that countless people in the domestic entertainment industry dream of. However, in Zhou Yi's current income structure, it can only be regarded as the bottom of the pyramid.

Feng Ke smacked his lips a few times and swallowed the words back.

"The gossip magazines in Hong Kong are right. He is the emperor of music after all. He makes so much money, more than Chenglong. Chenglong has been in trouble since he came back from Hollywood, and Li Lianjie is even more incomparable." Zhuo Wei threw the cigarette butt under his feet and stomped his feet twice, feeling very emotional.

Recalling that he had also sneaked into Chenglong’s birthday party, he had witnessed how high-spirited Chenglong was and how many people fawned on him during the peak period of his career in the United States. He also took the famous photo of Zhang Ziyi receiving the grapes.

After finishing their cigarettes, the two men waved off the cigarette smell on their clothes, and when they returned to the office area, their bodies froze at the same time——

"Is there something wrong? Mr. Policeman, we haven't done anything illegal."

"I know what you want to say, Mr. Zeng, but the current situation is that someone has reported the case and provided corresponding evidence to prove that you have committed a crime. So, please cooperate with the investigation."

"..."

"..."

"..."

When Zhuo Wei returned, he opened his eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost and watched his boss Brother Guangming leave with the police - turning around, he saw Feng Ke, who had previously had full confidence in his boss, now had his mouth slightly open with disbelief on his face.

"What happened?" "I don't know."

"Why was Brother Guangming taken away?"

"Brother Chen?"

Editor-in-chief Chen Lizhi, who hurried back, was surrounded by employees and asked about the situation as soon as he showed up.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's just a small matter, just work as usual."

Chen Lizhi was also panicking, but he still had to keep the company going.

As we all know, the mainland entertainment industry at this time still has a vague understanding of legal issues, and personal connections are the mainstream.

Whenever there is a fierce conflict, even if it involves illegal activities, as long as some brother or sister comes out as a middleman and arranges a drink, they will become good brothers after drinking, and everyone will break the law and make money together.

So, everyone’s work is actually rather rough.

The main reason is that I have no experience and I am just crossing the river by feeling the stones.

It’s okay when dealing with people of the same level in the circle, but it’s a bit not enough in front of the legal elites of Peking University.

Because of Zhou Yi's relationship, the law firms that cooperate with Warner are all top elites, so obtaining evidence is a piece of cake for these people in the entertainment industry who are currently doing a rough job.

Zeng Guangming is cautious enough, but that doesn't mean the people he instructs will be as cautious as he is.

When Wang Changtian, the CEO of Light Media behind it, can no longer scare people, what awaits him will be a dimensionality reduction attack from top law firms.

To take a step back, even if it is the legal issues of Wang Changtian himself and Guangguang Media, they have to seek help from the law firms in their circle, not to mention a mere magazine.

"What did you say? Maybe suspend business???"

"I heard that after exposing the address, he offended Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi personally directed people to do it."

"Fuck, is Zhou Yi so cruel?"

"It's mainly because Fan Bingbin's location was exposed. Isn't she Zhou Yi's lover? It doesn't matter whether Zhou Yi's address is exposed or not."

"It's hard to say. Fan Bingbin probably doesn't have that much face. Maybe he's killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?"

"Didn't the boss say before that this does not constitute a criminal fact under the law?"

"Guess where are the people in China who understand the legal provisions best?"

"..."

About an hour later, colleagues were talking about the inside information they had learned through each other's connections. Zhuo Wei lit another cigarette, feeling that his bright future, which had just been put on the right track, had dimmed again, and his eyes were full of melancholy...

Oh shit!

He just wanted to make some money in peace and quiet, what's wrong with that? !
He even deliberately avoided Zhou Yi and did not report to him in order to avoid being fired again.

The result is now that he was not fired, but the new company he joined seems to be bankrupt because of Zhou Yi.

Fuck!
What an injustice this is!
Am I born to be in conflict with Zhouyi's horoscope? !

With this abuse of influence and petty attitude, how can he be a respected music emperor???
This is a fucking tyrant!

He is a real tyrant!
What a fool!
"In fact, nicknames like the Asian Music Emperor are just exaggerated statements from foreign media. You know, entertainment media in some countries prefer to use exaggerated metaphors."

Warner, Studio 1.

Zhou Yi said frankly that the title of Asian Music Emperor reported by foreign media is a kind of flattery: "As I said before, foreigners' understanding of us and China is far from enough. The Olympics is undoubtedly a window to showcase ourselves.

"I am very lucky that the song and MV can help more foreigners understand the current China..."

“Was the final eight minutes of stage rehearsal for the Athens Olympics very difficult?”

"Correct."

This time, Zhou Yi nodded without hesitation: "Athens was very uncooperative from the beginning. I think this is completely inconsistent with the Olympic spirit..."

Anyway, in his memory, in the Olympic documentaries, there were also participants who frequently complained about Athens’ non-cooperation in the eight minutes, so Zhou Yi naturally pointed them out directly without any fear.

"If there is one thing I've learned from speaking out, it's that their music market is well-developed, so I want to try to bring this experience to the Chinese music scene as much as possible."

Zhou Yi, who spoke eloquently in front of the camera, described his different perceptions of the music scene at home and abroad: "Their music commercialization has become a complete and perfect industry chain, but we haven't yet, and I think this is normal.

"Foreign pop music, especially in Europe, America and Japan, has been developed for a long time, while our mainland music scene is currently in its infancy. It needs the right commercial guidance to make this seedling thrive and create a vibrant living environment for later generations..."

In short, in one word: Although I am going to transform into a commercial enterprise, since it is the first time, I have retained some niche musical characteristics to let you know that I am deliberately going for commercialization and may not have controlled the quantity well.

Of course, this market theory was recorded by the "Music Life" program crew.

The Olympic group that Kang Hui is in charge of is very busy. In addition to Zhou Yi, he also has to interview Zhou Jianhui, Qian Jiang, and even Sun Yanzi, Wang Feng and other Warner members, reflecting Warner's determination to support Zhou Yi in preparing for the Olympic songs.

It's just that everyone is just being polite.

There is no way, after all, it is a formal official occasion.

The CCTV crew went back to work as usual, and everything at Warner was also running as usual. Only the people at BigStar were nervous in an unknown corner.

Because the next day, the editor-in-chief Chen Lizhi, who had assured them yesterday that it was a small matter, was also taken away for investigation.

Such a large magazine lost its editor-in-chief and chief editor within two days.

This is the first time for traditional entertainment media groups in the mainland.

Wang Changtian was completely numb.

We are not brothers, we all get what we need, there is no need to be so extreme, right?
"Mr. Wang, Zhou Yi said that he is still being interviewed by CCTV and does not have time to talk to you at the moment."

The feedback from the secretary made Wang Changtian feel even worse.

That CCTV interview takes about a whole day, and they are still interviewing on the second day?
But CCTV’s shield does work.

What made him even more upset was that Southern Weekend broke the news.

On October 10, Southern Weekend, Zeng Guangming's former employer, directly reported that Zeng Guangming was under investigation, but it left a big question mark on who had him investigated at such a fast speed.

Obviously, this is intended to change Zhou Yi's rhythm.

Wang Changtian’s eyes went dark and he slapped his forehead, feeling like he was doomed.

However, what he didn't expect was that the development of the following events was extremely beyond his expectations -

How come this didn't cause any stir on the Internet?
"what's the situation?"

"Our news was suppressed?"

The people at Southern Weekend were also completely confused.

They were preparing to launch a combined attack through offline channels and online channels, which would not only benefit from Zhouyi's traffic and sales, but also help their old colleague build momentum in public opinion. As a result, they found that the public opinion on the Internet seemed a little wrong...

"That's not right. I saw there were press releases - why the hell are the views so low?!"
