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

Chapter 821 The Sun’s Light is Too Dazzling

Fool, this is a derogatory term in a broad sense, and it can even be said to be an insulting term.

In the general public's impression, except for situations like close friends arguing with each other, most of the time it is used to mock and curse people.

But in another rare context, this word will instead become a compliment and admiration - given to those who, for the sake of a bright future, do what they know is impossible but still remain unswerving even at a huge cost.

The strange thing is, for some reason, Zhou Yi at this moment really has some of this meaning in the eyes of this group of people.

It was obviously just a simple business behavior, but when it came out of Zhou Yi's mouth, it sounded particularly grand and tragic, and people who heard it felt their blood boiling - even an old hand like Ke Lan, who had long been desensitized to this kind of thing, could not help but feel some ripples in his heart.

Logically speaking, she should just want to laugh at Zhou Yi's idea.

Given China's current economic development situation, it is nothing short of a fantasy for musicians to want to support themselves by relying on legitimate music like the American and Japanese music scenes after the era of piracy has completely arrived.

No matter how tough the Book of Changes is, the market will not deceive people, and economic development will not deceive people.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Yi is now relying on the mature and legitimate music mechanism in Europe and the United States to support himself and Warner.

Without the huge European and American markets, Zhou Yi is now at best an enhanced version of Jay Chou.

Jay Chou couldn't resist and tried to transform himself and started making movies. He bought the copyright of a comic-adapted movie from Japan. It's called "Initial D" and it will be released this year.

Why can Zhou Yi still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai?

Isn't it just relying on the money earned from the foreign music market to support his expenses in the domestic music market?

This is also an important reason why third-generation children like Ke Lan are so sophisticated and yearn for the Western world - because at present the gap is indeed too huge, causing them, who have been spoiled since childhood and often exposed to foreign environments, to see with their own eyes the huge difference between the economic environments of the two countries.

Coupled with the Americans' targeted bombing of these third-generation teens, anyone with a weak will and wavering determination will surely be destroyed.

In fact, because they were abandoned by their families at birth, as they grow older, it is impossible for Abb-style third-generation descendants like Ke Lan to have no resentment in their hearts - from resentment towards their families to even further resentment towards the land beneath their feet.

Not to mention the three generations, in the first ten or even fifteen years of the Internet, "Good OP, may you live in America in your next life" was still a blessing full of beautiful visions. How many people were fascinated by that powerful kingdom of God on earth -

It was only 16 years later that we realized that something seemed wrong and that the Americans were not as tough as they thought.

Therefore, when Ke Lan subconsciously wanted to laugh, she found that she couldn't laugh at all when facing Zhou Yi's eyes -

"Afraid of failure? Afraid of having nothing? Of course, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of these things."

Zhou Yi, who was sitting with his legs crossed, spoke in a frivolous tone, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight, but his eyes were firm: "But if I don't do it because I'm afraid, then I'm not Zhou Yi."

Even if you are destined to fail, you must keep moving forward, believing that there will always be companions to stand shoulder to shoulder with you!
Ke Lan suddenly felt that the smile of the man in front of her was very dazzling - it made her feel very uncomfortable, as if she was a rat lying in the gutter gnawing on a corpse.

Obviously, in terms of family and background, she should be the more powerful one.

After the interview, Ke Lan took the initiative to invite Zhou Yi to stay for dinner for the first time. She was eager to know and to prove that she was right, so she said as if she didn't care -

"Zhou Yi, I'm actually quite curious, are you really optimistic about the domestic Internet music market?"

"Not optimistic."

The man's answer was decisive.

?

No, if you don’t think it’s good, then why are you complaining so much?

Are you anxious about having too much money to burn?
Zhou Yi smiled and wiped his mouth with a napkin: "But if I don't do it, I'm afraid no one will be willing to do it. Western pop music has developed for more than a century to form its current scale, but the development of domestic pop music is actually a gap.

"I just want to use the Internet, a new emerging track, to help the domestic music scene overtake others and explore the way forward for future musicians through trial and error."

Ke Lan: “…”

Are you playing Red Attack with me here?
Don’t you know I’m just a penny?

"Thank you for the treat. I'm leaving now, Miss Ke."

Zhou Yi, who naturally knew that Ke Lan was a pretty good person, didn't care at all. He put down his chopsticks and said goodbye.

Different road non-phase plan.

Besides, is he doing this for Ke Lan to see?

What a joke! How can this white left-winger with a saintly mind have the qualifications to make a fuss?

"Did he really say that?"

"Nonsense, I can't lie to you."

At night, while chatting on the phone with her best friend, Ke Lan expressed all her confusion about Zhou Yi's actions and lay on the bed with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

It’s not that she couldn’t think of the answer, but she was unwilling to accept it - because that would make her look dirty.

Internet companies make money in the future, and it’s not impossible for them to burn money for five, six, seven or eight years, but Internet music has no future.

She knows this group of people very well. Their living standards haven't even improved yet they spend their money on consuming genuine music?
At China's current rate of development, how long will it take to catch up with Europe and the United States?

Fifty or sixty years?

Seventy or eighty years?

It's hard to say. Even the mainland Internet giant Baidu knows that it is selling pirated music instead of genuine music. If it hadn't been sniped by Zhou Yi's listing, it probably wouldn't have changed its mind passively.

But even if it is converted to legal music, Baidu is only serving the purpose of listing and making empty promises. Its real focus is not on legal music at all.

Only Zhouyi really puts genuine Internet music as its priority.

The only one in the country.

This kind of third-generation circle is so small that when Ke Lan was shocked, the news had almost spread throughout the circle.

Everyone had been doing nothing for years. Some of them were still enthusiastic and applauded, some scolded him for showing off, and some made an appointment with each other to go to Zhou Yi to make some money - who made him so arrogant and say that he was rich.

Even though they are third-generation descendants, they still have no worries about food and drink due to various reasons.

As a result, before I even left the house, I was stopped by a phone call, which was rare.

"He's not one of those coal miners, you guys should just tone it down!"

The call from the third generation descendants who had not been abandoned almost broke the eardrums of these useless people.

"He's not Huang Guangyu, is it that serious?"

"If only he were Huang Guangyu, at this sensitive juncture, he would be ranked first on the rich list and nothing would be wrong. Do you understand what I mean?"

"...so fierce?"

Huang Guangyu of Gome is the richest man in mainland China and a representative figure of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. He has been the chairman of Gome Electrical Appliances for a long time and is only in his thirties now, which is the age when he is young, strong and full of vigor.

But in fact, someone has already set his sights on him and started investigating this high-profile richest man.

"Li Lianjie was not purged but treated well. What do you think?"

"Then hasn't he been blocked from naturalization yet?"

"Doesn't this explain the reason even more?"

"..."

At the end of 2004, perhaps because he saw the support that Zhou Yi, who was born in the mainland, received, or perhaps because he thought that he had made a big fuss and misunderstood things, Li Lianjie, who had become an American citizen in 97, began to want to return to his roots and become a Chinese citizen.

While preparing for the new movie "Huo Yuanjia", he began to apply for relevant

He thought that with the above kindness towards him, returning to Chinese nationality should be a sure thing. He even decorated his new villa in Shanghai and was just waiting for all the procedures to be completed before officially returning to the mainland.

What no one expected was that his naturalization was blocked.

Li Lianjie himself was also surprised. He even thought that there might be a problem with the materials in some link, and was ready to start over and submit a new one.

But only some people know that this is impossible.

You are given preferential treatment because you are indeed a Chinese superstar, and like Chenglong, you can make it in Europe and the United States, but that's all.

in business.

You can act in movies, and you will still be a Chinese superstar recognized by us, but it is really impossible for you to become a citizen.

After all, Li Lianjie's departure that year did surprise and sigh some people.

Of course, Li Lianjie himself did not know about this. At this time, he was still confidently waiting to restore his Chinese nationality and preparing for the movie "Huo Yuanjia" -

"Look for Zhou Yi, no doubt about it, just look for Zhou Yi!"

In 2005, Li Lianjie was still full of energy and vigor.

Although he suffered the same setback as Chenglong in the Hollywood market and had to turn his attention back to the domestic market, he is still confident in his appeal in the domestic market.

This is the confidence given to him by his past works.

"Zhou Yi may not respond. He is not short of money and is very busy. Otherwise, you will have to call and invite him yourself, Brother Jie, to see if you can invite him over."

Li Lianjie, who was called out, was still watching a video. The screen showed an interview.

Sun Yanzi acted out kung fu postures in front of the camera, and with a smile on her face, she threw two punches lightly on the man's arm: "It's not just a title, it's a female knight. I learned kung fu from the great hero Chen Zhen, and I can beat two of you at once."

"Then I learned Kung Fu from the hero Huo Yuanjia, so it's easy for me to capture a disciple like you."

Zhou Yi repeatedly pushed Sun Yanzi's shoulders, causing her to stumble back a few steps. The movement of his hand swaying in the air made her laugh: "What is this? Huo's boxing? So flexible?"

This is a clip of Zhou Yi visiting Sun Yanzi on the set.

At that time, Sun Yanzi was still filming "Kung Fu". He said that he learned Kung Fu from Chen Zhen because the actor who played the Fire Cloud Evil God in the "Kung Fu" movie was the same actor who played Chen Zhen in the TV series "Red Head Half the Sky".

"Make a note of this. If Zhou Yi agrees, then we can use it as a hype point. We can say that we wanted to invite Zhou Yi after seeing this interview."

Li Lianjie, who was also well versed in hype, instructed his assistant to take note, and at the same time went out to call Zhou Yi -

"Hello? Ayi, do you have time to have dinner together?"

?
Zhou Yi, who had just finished basking in the sunshine in Hong Kong and was still humming a little tune, received a call from the hero Li.
