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

Chapter 831 Fumao: I want to improve so much

As two of La Liga's top players, it is not uncommon for Zidane, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho to appear on the beach together for vacation.

Although the first two belong to Real Madrid, Ronaldinho is the leader of Barcelona——

The game on the court is the game on the court, and off the court we are still good friends who can go on vacation together.

Especially Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, the two are in the Brazilian team, they have a lot of fun playing together, and are nicknamed the Nightclub Duo.

"Honestly, brother, I'm really confused as to why your country's football team lost in such a weird segment. I thought I'd see you appear with your country's football team in next year's World Cup commercials."

After a not-so-intense 2v2 beach soccer game, Ronaldinho, also known as Ronaldinho, sat next to his teammate Zhou Yi, patted the sand off his thighs and handed him a beer.

He doesn't care about losing to Zidane and Ronaldo.

No matter how good Zhou Yi is at playing football, he is just an amateur player. It's good enough for him to play a few rounds for fun. It's not a serious game, so just having fun is good enough.

Ronaldinho has always been a supporter of happy football.

"Don't even mention it. This is a piece of crap. Not only can they not calculate the points, they can't even calculate the fucking goal difference."

When talking about this, Zhou Yi's face turned gloomy.

The first round of Asian qualifiers for the 2006 World Cup in Germany had already begun last year. Under the leadership of coach Ali Haan, the Chinese national football team had great hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals of the Asian zone, but it was ruined in the last round.

At the end of last year, in the last group match of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese national football team competed with Kuwait for a place in the Asian quarterfinals. Before the game, it was clear that the two teams had the same points and the same win-loss record.

In the end, Kuwait defeated Malaysia 6-1, while the Chinese team defeated Hong Kong 7-0 at a leisurely pace.

The head coach of the Chinese national football team, Ali Han, was so anxious that he stamped his feet on the sidelines. When the score was 7:0, he repeatedly emphasized that it was not enough and they had to continue to score goals, otherwise they would be eliminated, because the goal difference of both teams was the same at that time, and the final competition would be the total number of goals.

But the amateurism of the Football Association was fully demonstrated at this time. They didn't even realize that there was a total number of goals waiting for them and thought they had already advanced - even the players on the field thought they had qualified and were sure of success, so they gave the Hong Kong team a face boost by not getting a double-digit number.

The final result is predictable. With the same points, win-loss record and goal difference, the Kuwait team defeated the Chinese national team and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Asian qualifiers with one more goal than the Chinese team.

In an interview after leaving his job, Arihan said that it was difficult for him to understand this situation.

In such an important match, the Football Association and professional football media people didn't even understand the rules for qualifying for the World Cup qualifiers.

"The amateur level is almost catching up with our Brazilian Football Association." Ronaldinho, who is at the peak of his career this year, can only sigh like this.

Now it was Zhou Yi's turn to lose control.

I was just about to say something, but when I thought about it carefully, it seems to be really true - what a crappy Football Association, they can't even be worse than others!

Even if you are so bad that pus is oozing out.

I won't say you're the worst in the world, but even if you're among the best, I can still give you a thumbs up and praise your courage.

"At least there are so many people criticizing Chinese football for not making it to the World Cup, while Singapore has spent a lot of money preparing for so long and has made efforts for decades but has not achieved anything."

Sun Yanzi, who returned with Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho and Zidane's female companion, uttered a sentence in a low voice.

Zhouyi: "..."

How can it be the same!

The beach was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

And when this side is happy, the other side is not so happy——

The next day, when domestic netizens woke up, they unexpectedly discovered that the news that caused a lot of discussion on multiple platforms was not about someone's movie or TV series becoming a hit or someone releasing an album, but a candid photo of Zhou Yi running on the beach and spraying people with a water gun.

He is unruly and has no image at all.

When he loaded the next picture, he saw that the person he was chasing on the beach was Sun Yanzi, who looked like a drowned rat.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Oh my god! What is Zhou Yi doing?!"

"No, shouldn't they be filming a music video? Why are they out on vacation?"

"Why do I still see Ronaldo and Ronaldinho?"

"Fuck! Zidane?!"

"..."

Monday, August 2005, 4.

The famous Spanish magazine "HOLA" revealed an exclusive news titled "Spike appears on the beach with his real girlfriend."

In their description, Sun Yanzi, as an unpopular singer from a foreign country, had no fame at all, so they spent a considerable amount of space to introduce the experience of the Warner Gemini and said that this person was actually Spike's real girlfriend.

"Who is that ugly guy who plays beach soccer with Zhou Yi?"

"I know Ronaldo, but who is the bald guy next to him who is Zhou Yi's opponent?"

"Zhou Yi has really made it. He can dribble past Ronaldo and Zidane in a row. He is the best player in the Chinese national football team!"

"???"

As the World Cup is next year, the attention to football is gradually increasing as domestic fans follow the event every four years.

Whether at home or abroad, Zhou Yi's celebration of completing a shot after performing his signature moves of consecutive bulltail passes and crotch passes in beach soccer has attracted public attention.

Especially in Spain.

Zhou Yi had already been ridiculed in Spanish-speaking areas because of his affair with Shakira. Zidane, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are the faces of Real Madrid and Barcelona. Zhou Yi's passing of two people made many fans joke that they should sign him quickly.

"No! Spike is from Arsenal!"

"It's not a big deal. Didn't you Arsenal bring a player named Fabregas from Barcelona? He is now being trained as a core midfielder."

"Ronaldinho is ignorant. He should have put a Barcelona jersey on Spike on the beach! No one can say no to Barcelona!"

"If you want to come, you should come to Real Madrid! Real Madrid is the best club in the world!"

"The No.1 player who was beaten in the Champions League?"

"Milan should sign Spike. I think Spike likes Milan's player Kaka. He has been mentioned in several interviews before. It seems that he likes Arsenal coach Wenger's tactical style more."

"..."

very strange -

Because of this unfounded transfer discussion, Zhou Yi has caused a wave of fans in Spain and even in the European football world to do oral radio gymnastics with each other. Fans of Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​AC Milan and other giants have joined the battle, while fans of other teams such as Bayern Munich have been watching from the sidelines.

The top executives of Coca-Cola are so happy that their mouths are numb.

The company's two ace spokespersons in the cultural and sports circles, Zhou Yi and Ronaldinho, did not need any arrangements from them, they stirred up hot news together in Spain.

After the Chinese national football team failed to qualify for the quarterfinals of the 2006 World Cup in Asia, Coca-Cola, as the national football team's sponsor, was actually quite upset.

After successfully entering the World Cup finals in 02, Coca-Cola spent a huge sum of money to sponsor the Chinese national football team in order to take advantage of this wave of exposure.

I thought that after the failure in the 02 World Cup and the experience in the 04 Asian Cup, it would be easy for the Chinese men's football team to enter the World Cup again. However, they suffered a setback before the Asian quarter-finals.

Regardless of whether it was Kuwait's conspiracy or the Chinese national football team's carelessness that led to the loss of this wave of traffic exposure, Coca-Cola, which has already tasted the sweetness once, is very dissatisfied with the loss.

"Why don't we just ask Spike and Ronaldinho to shoot the main promotional video for the World Cup? Aren't they playing beach soccer on the beach?"

Coca-Cola executive meeting.

The executives of Pepsi, who were still thinking about how to overwhelm their old rival, had a flash of inspiration after seeing the news and proposed the idea of ​​cross-border linkage: "During the World Cup, we need to continue to gain popularity in China, but the Chinese men's football team did not enter the World Cup, so we can only switch to cultural and sports linkage."

"I asked around, and the woman next to Spike is also the spokesperson for our brand Sprite in China. We can start with her as well."

Another executive took out three photos: "Her name is Stefanie. She, Elva and Angela, two Chinese actresses, are all top-tier popular singers in China. The three of them also temporarily formed a three-member girl group called SEA (sea), which is called the strongest girl group in Chinese pop music by the Chinese..."

In the executive's initial plan, he intends to follow China Mobile's example and bring these three together to form the endorsement group SEA, and then collaborate with Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo under Coca-Cola.

Zhou Yi, the current top performer in the world music scene, is starring in another commercial with Ronaldinho, who is currently recognized as the current top performer in the world football scene.

"Objection! I don't think Warner and EMI will agree. The data shows that Stefanie and Elva are competitors. Angela cannot compete with these two even in China. China Mobile can only say that they signed the contract early."

"I think we can give it a try. As Elva is the spokesperson for Sprite, we have contributed to her career in the United States. Similarly, we can use this condition to negotiate with Warner."

"What about Angela? Her popularity and status in China are not as good as the above two. She is a complete drag. Will Warner and EMI agree?"

"..."

For a while, the quarrel continued.

At the beginning, it could be said that although there was a gap between the SEA group and the others, it was not outrageously big.

But now, the last Zhang Shaohan is completely unworthy.

In other words, the contract with China Mobile is still pending, otherwise these three people would never have joined together to shoot a commercial.

Some people want to use the much-talked-about gimmick of SEA in China for marketing, while others think that forcibly combining SEA will cause the company to pay too much to Warner and EMI, which is totally not worth it.

Some people also think that Coca-Cola's parent company has helped EMI's Xiao Yaxuan to enter the US, which shows its sincerity. If Sun Yanzi is going to enter the US next, Coca-Cola will naturally help.

Since you're helping, you have to cooperate with the marketing plan and help Coca-Cola further strive for and expand their interests in China, right?
As for Zhang Shaohan?

No one cares.

She was originally one of the spokespeople for Coca-Cola (China), but she wasn't a big name, so she could only cooperate unconditionally.

"I have no objection."

Sun Yanzi was confused after receiving a call from her agent Ji Shengshan: "Shao Han and I are good friends, it doesn't matter, and she and I are not in the same field."

Zhang Shaohan is an idol singer who has both idol dramas and albums, and has gained popularity through dramas.

Taiwan.

As the spokesperson for Sprite, Xiao Yaxuan prefers to drink canned Coca-Cola. She was woken up by her agent while yawning and asked for her opinion.

"Will it lead to Angela being diverted? I don't need this now, and she and I are friends. For Zhou Yi's sake, it doesn't matter."

Honestly speaking, she still has some feelings towards the unexpected group SEA even though she has already achieved great success in Europe and the United States.

When successful people stand at the top and look back to talk about their feelings, they tend to be more generous.

After all, in a sense, the three of them have been together over the years.

Until now, many media have been speculating that if the three of them really formed a group in the same company, would the current Chinese girl group SHE be beaten so badly that even their mothers wouldn't recognize them.

Of course, this is most likely a press release put together by Fumao.

After all, now apart from Fumao Records, neither Warner nor EMI will market SEA, a temporary group that evolved from the Mobile Queen Palace.

What level are you, Zhang Shaohan, worthy of?
"Next year is the World Cup year. It just so happens that Yanzi and Elva are both spokespeople for Sprite under Coca-Cola, so Coca-Cola plans to combine the three of you to create a SEA group reunion gimmick. You have to seize this opportunity, Shaohan!"

Fumao Records, Lounge.

Zhang Shaohan, who was still removing her makeup with the help of her assistant, listened to her manager's analysis, which was difficult to suppress his excitement: "The company plans to take this opportunity to invite Zhou Yi to sing for you again."

Zhang Shaohan, who was still resting with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes: "Company?"

It wasn't that she was pretending to be confused; she was really quite surprised.

Since she became famous, she found that she didn't seem to be valued by the company. Her agent, assistant, boss, and teacher all hinted that she should take the initiative to ask Zhou Yi to sing for her.

Because of Zhou Yi's nostalgic personality, as long as Zhang Shaohan took the initiative to ask, he would definitely help at a very low symbolic price.

But Zhang Shaohan never said a word.

She knew what the company was thinking, but she was unwilling to waste the friendship between her and Zhou Yi that she had forged when they rose from obscurity.

So even though she formed the Gunke band at the Golden Melody Awards, she didn't speak up.

"The reorganization of the SEA group will not improve Yanzi and Elva much, but it is an opportunity that cannot be wasted for you."

Fumao is not a fool either.

Although Zhang Shaohan has always been just the company's goddaughter, if they don't seize the opportunity of this sentimental pie that came out of nowhere because they are both under the Coca-Cola company, they would be really going to get hit by a pig if they don't.

"That is to say, both Elva Hsiao and Sun Yanzi need the help of Coca-Cola to go to the US. Otherwise, it is estimated that even if they agree to it themselves, Warner and EMI will not agree."

The agent chattered: "The company is ready to invite Zhou Yi as soon as possible. According to the current standards, we are willing to give him 200 million US dollars."

In today's situation where the Chinese album market is collapsing, they are still willing to spend so much money to invite songs at prices comparable to those of theme songs for big-budget movies. It has to be said that Fumao has really spent a lot of money this time.

I decided that it didn't matter if the album made a loss, as long as I could make a lot of money from other sources such as commercial performances and advertisements.

After all, the songs written by Zhou Yi are truly invincible in commercial performances.

"Now I just hope Zhou Yi can take it seriously and write a song for you that is popular enough or can be popular all over the country. That way, your appearance fee will be higher and you can perform less frequently."
