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

Chapter 825: Knife in hand, kill Yi Gou
If he had to choose his favorite song from among the many new Chinese-style songs, Zhou Yi would vote for "Thousand Miles Away" without hesitation.

"Blue and White Porcelain" is indeed the pinnacle that everyone has been looking forward to, but Zhou Yi himself prefers "Thousands of Miles Away".

He couldn't explain why, maybe it was just because they had the same feeling.

As for Liu Huan, Zhou Yi actually likes his song "Crescent Moon" very much. It is not difficult for his voice to fit Fei Yuqing's part in "Thousand Miles Away".

"So, this song is the favor you plan to repay?"

Sun Yanzi's eyes returned to the music score at hand, and she studied the lyrics that were full of the flavor of the underworld. The stereotype left by "Hero Song" made her think of Liu Huan first. Even the title of the song was three words long - "Jianghu Xiao".

This cannot be blamed on her. It is mainly because Zhou Yi has never written this kind of song before, and the lyrics have a strong martial arts flavor.

"No, it's for Zhang Jizhong's martial arts TV series The Return of the Condor Heroes."

"Are you sure this lyric is about The Return of the Condor Heroes?"

Sun Yanzi was suspicious: "I would believe you if you said this was written from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer."

The energy contained between the lines has nothing to do with "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in any way. It seems more like Zhou Yi's work paying tribute to the departed Huang Zhan.

"Zhang Jizhong didn't have too many requirements, he just limited it to a martial arts song."

As the last glory of the era of martial arts dramas, the opening and ending songs of The Return of the Condor Heroes can be said to be the last two songs that can stir up waves among the public, and are therefore jokingly called the final theme song of martial arts dramas.

Because after the 06 version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", there has been no other martial arts TV series that can take up the banner.

Not only has "The Unparalleled" become Zhang Liangying's masterpiece, the birth of "Smiles in the Rivers and Lakes" also helped Zhou Huajian regain his youth.

In fact, this song originally contained some meanings of the composer paying tribute to James Wong, which is why as soon as the song was released, many people complained that it was more suitable for the mood of the movie "Swordsman".

James Wong’s most classic song "A Laugh in the Ocean" is from the movie "Swordsman".

Of course, the original version of the song "Jiang Hu Xiao" had an electric guitar interlude which was actually a product of a rush job due to a tight deadline, which completely destroyed the mood created in the previous part of the song.

Zhou Yi now has plenty of time, so naturally he directly replaced it with Guzheng + Pipa, ensuring the pure Jianghu atmosphere of the whole song.

"You're carrying some smuggled stuff, right?"

Seeing Zhou Yi's indifferent look, Sun Yanzi was amused.

If this wasn't a tribute to James Wong, her name would have been written backwards.

Not only did she think so, but Zhang Jizhong, who received the sample two days later, also thought so.

"Jianghu laughs, grudges are over"
"When people fight, a smile hides a knife~"

Without even listening to the demo disc titled "Zhang Jingying: Unparalleled in the World", Zhang Jizhong went straight for Zhou Yi's name. With his eyes closed, he was greeted by the rich and mellow sound of the underworld.

"It seems that the flowers are not flowers and the fog is not fog, and the surging river water cannot be stopped

"With lofty ambitions and a strong character, it turns out that heroes are lonely~"

It’s so fucking awesome. Fuck you.

When the song ended, Zhang Jizhong opened his eyes and stopped moving his fingers to the melody, feeling deeply moved.

"It would be great if I could play Yang Duo."

At this moment, no one wants Zhou Yi to not be popular more than Zhang Jizhong.

In terms of appearance alone, Zhou Yi is clearly more suitable for the saying "Once you meet Yang Guo, you will be ruined for life."

As an old hand, Zhang Jizhong knows what kind of TV series will be made. Huang Xiaoming's performance in this Condor Heroes is very fragmented. Although Huang Xiaoming did perform very well in the middle and late stages, he was very dissatisfied with his performance in the early stages.

But there is nothing I can do.

I've already acted out the role, so I can just get by in the early stages, what else can I do but leave?

He has already planned to sacrifice Huang Xiaoming's early reputation, and even planned to buy negative articles to increase popularity. In this way, when the plot progresses to the middle and late stages, Huang Xiaoming, who is no longer playing the role of a young boy, will make a comeback with his acting skills, and the discussion of The Condor Heroes will naturally usher in another wave of rising popularity.

At that time, maybe he could take advantage of Zhou Yi's popularity, such as "Zhou Yi fits the image of Yang Guo" and so on, and it would be another series of popularity back and forth.

"That's really awesome. Is this his first time writing a martial arts song? He's never written one before."

"Yeah, people like this are totally unreasonable in the entertainment industry. Fortunately, there is only one Zhou Yi in the industry, otherwise many people would be swept into the trash."

"It's just that he's not good at acting, otherwise I would have doubted whether he was a human being."

"Although his acting skills are not good, he has now opened a cooperative company with China Film Group, and I heard that he is also going to buy land."

"Fuck him, he's starting a company, buying land, and investing. I hope his loan explodes."

"You're probably overthinking it. Now the bank is begging him for a loan."

"..."

The main creators behind the scenes held a meeting. As soon as they heard the two songs, they were filled with envy and jealousy, and they made some outrageous remarks from time to time to express their jealousy.

There was no choice, Zhou Yi took 400 million from them.

It hurts so much.

But after listening to the song, no one would think it was not worth it.

With such pleasant sound, coupled with Zhou Yi's fame, the publicity expenses saved would be more than 400 million.

Zhang Jizhong was proud of his foresight and tapped the wooden table with his index finger: "This is only because Warner wants to promote new people. Otherwise, with this little money, I wouldn't even be qualified to meet Zhou Yi."

"Producer Zhang has a great idea."

There was a sudden chorus of agreement in the conference room.

After the meeting, Zhang Jizhong specifically asked his assistant: "Please help me make an appointment with Zhou Yi and see when he is free. I will treat him to a meal to express my gratitude."

"I've asked, Zhou Yi is busy filming his own music video for his English album, so he doesn't have time recently."

The assistant answered honestly.

David Bowie's arrival marked the start of the filming process for Zhou Yi's English music video.

In order to prevent the song "21 Guns" from causing any plagiarism controversy that might be exploited, Zhou Yi specially arranged a reminiscence scene with David Bowie in the MV.

The two of them seemed to be in a chess arena. Zhou Yi didn't seem to have any opponent opposite him, but there were several dolls with animal patterns on their seats.
The chess pieces on the board also took on the shape of guns and cannons.

David Bowie, wearing centenarian makeup, stood behind Zhou Yi. He leaned over and pointed at the tangled chess game - that was the breaking point, and it was also the direction Zhou Yi was looking at.

As for the specific MV, it tells the story of a pair of journalist lovers who rely on each other in the hail of bullets in an Iraqi city and finally escape safely. The breaking point of memory pointed out by David Bowie is also the route that Zhou Yi and Megan Fox, who plays the heroine, finally take to leave the war-torn area safely.

Of course, Megan Fox hasn't arrived yet.

Zhou Yi just finished filming the scenes with David Bowie first.

"You're the best young singer I've ever seen, Spike."

David Bowie, who had often criticized the United States and even his own hometown for being great in Britain but lacking in Germany, gave him a sincere hug and a thumbs up after his cameo.

He was clearly at the peak of his career, but now he sang two songs in a row, criticizing the United States for provoking the war and the so-called American and world media. This behavior was exactly what he wanted: "Those bitches on Fleet Street were wrong, you are not the next John Lennon." Zhou Yi was not doing any performance art, he was just cursing with all his might.

"I wish you can have a happy musical memory in China, David." Zhou Yi did not comment, but smiled and turned the topic to the music exchange that had already been arranged.

Before David Bowie, the last world superstar to come to mainland China was Michael Jackson in the 1980s.

It's just that Jackson didn't come publicly with any fanfare.

Therefore, after Zhou Yi contacted those veteran artists, they all expressed great interest.

"You should take care of yourself too, Spike."

David Bowie patted his junior on the shoulder and joked, "I saw in the newspaper that Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba are here. Do you need me to teach you any self-defense techniques?"

For David Bowie, who played rock music, he had experienced all kinds of women and men in his life. Fighting for men and women fighting for him were commonplace in the past.

Although he has now turned over a new leaf, he is very loving with his wife and has a happy family and marriage.

But Zhou Yi is still very young.

He knew very well what it meant that two popular actresses from Europe and America had come all the way here.

"Tsk."

Zhou Yi said disdainfully: "I am not you, David."

David Bowie choked with laughter.

As the related shooting news was released, the European and American media were wailing that two more goddesses were abducted by Zhou Yi——

In 2005, Anne Hathaway had already become popular in Europe and America with the three movies "The Princess Diaries", "Cinderella Enchanted" and "The Princess Diaries 2", and also won the nickname "Princess";
At this time, she had not yet been voted as the most hated actress by American female audiences. Instead, she was the image in the dreams of countless European and American girls.

Jessica Alba gained fame through the American TV series "Angels", and later became the new generation goddess with the two movies "The Dictionary" and "Dancing".

Especially "Dirty Dancing" - although her acting skills were criticized, Jessica Alba became a new generation of Hollywood sweetheart with this movie, and her popularity grew wildly, which also tore off the big pie of "Fantastic Four".

Then the two of them came straight towards Zhou Yi.

Not only European and American media, but also domestic print media with a keen sense of smell also began to report related events after reprinting online news about the wailing situation abroad. However, compared with the restrained major newspapers, tabloids are more popular.

"The Emperor's Night Flip: Foreign Concubines Compete to Offer Offerings!"

"Love that spans half the world, Zhouyi's guide to winning over girls is released!"

Who is Megan Fox?

"..."

If Zhou Yi went to European and American countries to date female stars in the past, this time a well-known foreign female star came straight to the mainland to "chase" Zhou Yi.

The two concepts are completely different.

The last time, the adjective for the Victoria's Secret supermodel group was just supermodel. After all, the word model is inherently inferior to actor. And the last actress Zhou Yi called to star in the MV was only Scarlett Johansson.

This time, there were two.

Those who are not famous are not considered human beings, such as Eva Green and Megan Fox.

Look at these words quoted from European and American media——

"Princess" and "America's sweetheart", any normal person can tell how popular these two are just by looking at these adjectives.

Scarlett Johansson didn't have this adjective at the time.

"Fuck, these two are both popular female stars in Europe and America?"

"I found the picture guys, swimsuit.jpg."

"What the hell?! Zhou Yi's pussy is so good???"

“Where’s the picture? Where’s the picture? Why can’t I load it?”

"I like Jessica Alba. I like girls who smile sweetly."

"I like Anne Hathaway, she has a great figure."

"Don't choose, where the hell is my picture? Show me!"

"Here you go, bikini photo.jpg."

"Next time I'm going to get a phone that can see pictures!"

"Huh? It seems Zhou Yi took his heroines to climb the Great Wall? Picture.jpg."

Tuesday, May 4th.

A photo of Zhou Yi taking four women of different styles to the Great Wall and taking a group photo frequently appeared on the Internet in simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.

Zhou Yi stood firmly in the core position, and beside him was Eva Green who held his hand and fell into her arms;

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba stood on his left and behind respectively, with their hands around Zhou Yi's shoulders to show their closeness.

Megan Fox was the least impressive, so she could only squat in front of Zhou Yi and raise her fingers to make a scissors sign - but she was squatting very close to him, and it seemed that she could touch little Zhou Yi if she just raised her head slightly.

There was one man and four women, and everyone had a bright smile on their faces.

"Fuck! What kind of blessing is this for Zhou Yi?!"

"It looks like his kidneys are really strong..."

"Bring glory to the country! Bring glory to the country! I also saw Zhou Yi eating foreign girls in China. Isn't she more attractive than those female stars in China?"

"Can those male celebrities who are involved in scandals in the mainland follow this standard in the future?"

"Some people were indignant before, wondering why Zhou Yi was also unfaithful and no one said anything about him. Do you understand from this photo? This is Zhou Yi's biggest confidence! Apart from Zhou Yi, is there any other male celebrity in China who can be chased by foreign female celebrities?"

"That's not right. What about Yanzi? Didn't these two kiss on the Academy Awards stage last month?"

"Damn it, kill the scumbag with a knife in hand!"

"?"

"Knife in hand, kill Yi Gou!"

A popular internet phrase that once circulated among Sun Yanzi's fans came in handy at this moment. Some people even lined up to post comments on Zhou Yi's blog, which made the latter laugh and cry.

"It's not me. It's none of my business. I don't know."

Sun Yanzi raised three fingers to swear, his face tense to maintain seriousness: "I swear I just said it casually when I was in the group chat, and the fans learned it and adapted it into a buzzword."

As for why she said this -

I learned it from the Book of Changes.
