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

Chapter 835 Zhou Yi is fully responsible, European and American carnival

As we all know, there is a halftime break in football games.

During this time, players and coaches will return to the locker room to review the game, make tactical adjustments, etc., but for the Champions League final broadcast studios across Europe and even the world, this time is spent not only on guests doing a simple tactical review, but also on chatting and bragging with the host.

A typical example is this joke made by the host in the Sky Sports live broadcast room - in the entire studio, even the Liverpool star who was visiting couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although outsiders are not allowed to enter the locker room during the game, this is the rule, but this does not prevent everyone from making fun of Zhou Yi and making divergent jokes about the champagne scene that was broadcast around the world via the live broadcast.

"If I were an AC Milan player, I would definitely open champagne with Spike. This is the Champions League final. What does it mean to be three goals ahead at halftime?"

"Spike always wants Arsenal to pay for Kaka. Why not think differently and let Milan pay for Spike? He's already popping champagne."

"I agree!"

"..."

Most of the netizens who like to watch the fun don’t care about the home team or not. After all, many people choose to watch it just because it is the Champions League final.

Except for the exclusive gathering bar for Inter Milan fans, almost all other nightclubs in Milan followed the Zhouyi images that appeared from time to time in the halftime TV broadcast and entered the champagne-opening carnival stage.

This is the glory of the city of Milan!

Milan is not the Milan of Italy, it is the Milan of AC Milan!
"After winning the Champions League twice in three years, I think Real Madrid is nothing but a piece of shit, and Bayern Munich is even more of a dead body!"

"The sky of world football is red and black!"

"Leading 3:0 at halftime, there has never been such a wonderful start!"

Wuhu!

Open the champagne!
In the football sections of major domestic forums, as well as in QQ groups, chat rooms, and forums on the Internet, news from Milan fans and neutral fans are scrolling across the screen like crazy.

Although the start time of the Champions League is very unlucky for China, thanks to the high popularity that Serie A has accumulated in the country in the past, staying up late to watch the game is not a big problem. Even in the national qualifying matches, there are many people who were Serie A fans when they were young.

This is also the reason why Serie A was recognized as the Mini World Cup when it dominated the world football scene - Serie A in the last century had a really strong influence worldwide.

"Zhou Yi is still too conservative. In a previous interview, he even pretended to talk about Danish fairy tales and Greek mythology. Professional fans should be brave enough to make firm judgments!"

"Don't blame him. Niangniang Gun is so sissy when playing football and has no spirit. How tough can he, an ambassador, be?"

"Fuck you, Mango, come find the scene!"

"This is a Liverpool game, Liverpool fans are not saying anything, what are you talking about when your home teams haven't even made it to the finals?"

"Go back, toilet!"

"..."

Thanks to the Premier League's overseas promotion policy, the Premier League, which is in the process of rising, currently has three major football clubs with a large number of fans in China - Manchester United led by Ferguson, Arsenal led by Wenger, and Liverpool, which is slightly weaker than these two.

Ferguson became the head coach of Manchester United in 1986. After experiencing some initial discomfort, he led the Red Devils to become the dominant team in the Premier League. He reaped the first dividends of the Premier League's overseas promotion policy and has the most fans in China.
Wenger arrived in the Premier League ten years later than Ferguson, and took over Arsenal in 1996.

When he first took office, he was ridiculed by the whole of England and people thought he should be a university professor rather than a football field. However, this elegant Frenchman soon became Ferguson's most troublesome challenger.

With no shortage of capital injection, Wenger's unique and beautiful football can win championships and make for a good show. During the Premier League's external promotion, it directly helped Arsenal accumulate a large number of fans overseas, especially in the Chinese market, and compete with Manchester United.

This has also led to the mutual foul language between Manchester United fans and Arsenal fans in China -

The former mocked the latter for being a weak football player and screaming when faced with physical confrontation; the latter mocked the former for playing kung fu football and creating the infamous Ferguson event, and was proud of it instead of being ashamed of it, calling him a pure dog-brained person.

As for Liverpool, since their results are not very good and their head coach is not as stable as the first two teams, they rely entirely on their past championship heritage and star players in the team to attract new fans. Naturally, they are weaker and cannot even win the argument.

Not to mention that they are now the losers who have conceded three goals in the first half.

"Ugh."

"Fuck! Liverpool fans stop sighing! Liverpool scored a goal!"

"???"

"Holy shit, shit, shit!!!!"

"What the hell! Liverpool fans, come out and see God! Liverpool have scored two goals in a row!!!"

When most fans around the world were happily joking about opening champagne, the second half of the game suddenly changed.

Perhaps it was because of the 3-goal lead at halftime that all Milan players began to slack off. In the 53rd minute of the second half, Liverpool captain Gerrard took the lead and headed in a magical goal, changing the score to 1:3.

Just three minutes later, Liverpool came back.

In the 56th minute, Liverpool player Smicer scored another goal, and the score was changed to 2:3!

In an instant, the score on the field has reached the most dangerous situation. AC Milan's advantage has disappeared and the psychological defense line is in danger!

In the huge city of Istanbul, countless fans watching the game all suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest at this moment!
Sun Yanzi in the box was dumbfounded——

"No? What's going on?! Are you crazy? Isn't it said that it's not easy to score a goal in a football match?!"

She just opened the champagne before halftime!!!

Even though Zhou Yi, who witnessed this exciting scene, already knew the result, the boiling excitement in the stadium still made his blood boil.

This is football!
In the 60th minute of the second half, under the dumbfounded gaze of all Milan fans around the world, AC Milan player Gattuso, whose psychological defense was breached, committed a foul in the penalty area and gave away a penalty kick.

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso took the penalty kick. Although it was saved by the goalkeeper, Alonso followed up with a shot in time and the ball went into the net. Liverpool miraculously changed the score to 3:3!

At this moment, the excitement in the Ataturk Olympic Stadium reached its peak!
At this moment, countless loud shouts were heard in front of the televisions in countless households around the world!
“Liverpool is awesome!!!”

After staring at Alonso's penalty kick, even if Sun Yanzi didn't understand football, he understood the charm of this sport. If you look at it without any bias, this may be the most exciting Champions League final in history, no doubt about it!

"wtf!"

Sun Yanzi, who rarely used English swear words, could not help herself. What made her even more embarrassed was that AC Milan missed many scoring opportunities in the remaining 20 minutes of regular time + stoppage time, probably because of the mental breakdown of AC Milan after being chased by three goals in a row.
After entering the extra time, Liverpool, who became more and more courageous, defended desperately. The mentality of AC Milan players collapsed. Last year's Golden Ball winner Shevchenko even lost two balls in front of the goal and missed the chance to score the winning goal.

At the end of 120 minutes, in the exciting penalty shootout, AC Milan striker Shevchenko missed the fifth key penalty and the team lost.

Liverpool, after falling behind by three goals in the first half, miraculously reversed the situation and defeated AC Milan to win the 2005 Champions League trophy!
"What the hell?! Liverpool is the champion?!"

"Your mother's match is fixed! The match is fixed! The match is fixed!!!"

"Fuck! This is outrageous!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Sun Yanzi, who was not on the home team, was also infected by the atmosphere of the stadium and screamed subconsciously - but then he remembered that there was a Kaka fan next to him and immediately turned to look at him.

There was no sign of loss on Zhou Yi's face. Instead, there was an excitement that was difficult to suppress.

As a neutral fan, he witnessed the birth of the first miracle in the history of the Champions League, so of course he enjoyed it.

The scene of him opening champagne in the first half of the game is likely to become a classic. Every time this game is reviewed at home and abroad, his act of opening champagne will probably appear...

"I'm going to go get Kaka's jersey." "Huh?"

Sun Yanzi was confused.

You still go get the jersey after losing?
"It is because of the loss that this jersey has collection value."

There have been so many Champions League finals in history, but a miracle among miracles like the one in Istanbul has only happened once.

How big is the impact of this game?

It made many people who don’t even watch football know the “opening champagne at halftime” joke.

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

The Guardian: "On the night of Istanbul miracle, Liverpool made a stunning comeback and won the Champions League title!"

Spain's Marca: "AC Milan is sleepwalking, Spike becomes Milan's public enemy!"

Italy's Turin Sports Daily: "Full responsibility! Spike is fully responsible!! It's all his fault for entering the AC Milan dressing room and opening champagne at halftime!"

The Sun: "Spike opened champagne at halftime, entered the locker room and promised to bring Kaka and introduce young models to disrupt the morale of the team!"

The Times, The Mirror, The Independent, AS, Football Italia, The Huffington Post, Evening Standard, BBC, New York Daily News, Daily Mail…

On May 5, the media throughout Europe and America, and even newspapers in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries reported the Istanbul Miracle on their front pages:

As a result, Zhou Yi’s popularity, who had opened champagne at halftime, also soared to the sky in Europe and the United States with this unprecedented super upset!

At least eight out of ten newspapers carried photos of Zhou Yi opening a bottle of champagne before the end of the first half, which looked very funny when combined with the report headlined "Milan lost".

"Amazing! Spike is totally responsible. I am dying of laughter!"

"It's all Spike's fault for opening the champagne at halftime, right?"

"No, no, it's all Spike's fault for going to the Milan locker room after halftime and opening champagne, making the entire Milan team weak from drinking!"

"This is so funny. Some people in Milan have put up banners cursing Spike, and some are burning his posters and albums!"

"Public enemy of Milan!"

"Bullshit! Inter Milan fans will thank Spike for the champagne!"

"..."

The reason why an outrageous rumor can spread so widely is that it is often based on real information and then randomly added a few words.

For example, the classic golden song "Three Stickmen".

Another example is opening champagne at halftime.

Even though Milan players and Zhou Yi himself immediately denied the rumor of opening champagne in the locker room, and repeatedly reiterated that no outsiders could enter the team's locker room during the game. Zhou Yi even brought up the Danish fairy tale and Greek mythology he mentioned in an interview before the game.

but--

It's useless.

People only believe what they like to hear.

The joke of opening champagne at halftime appeared faster than Zhou Yi remembered, and it was coupled with the rapid expansion of his popularity in Europe and the United States.

So much so that all his friends in the European and American entertainment circles called him and asked if he could buy a bottle of champagne. Even his friends in China called him to ask whether it was true or not.

There's no way, the result of this final was too dramatic.

Even in the era of mobile Internet, the traffic of this game has not been gradually forgotten with the passage of time. Instead, it still stands at the top of the Everest of the Champions League.

Zhou Yi, who has not appeared in Europe and America on a large scale for a long time, has reached a new high in exposure in Europe and America since the second half of last year.

Especially across Europe.

Even the heat when Zhou Yi was so-called manipulating the Oscars wasn't this scary.

Even in the United States, where football is not very popular, the joke of popping champagne at halftime was so hilarious that a lot of media outlets rushed to report on it.

"Too awesome, worthy of being Spike, there's always something fun about him."

"If I were a journalist I would really fall in love with him."

"Spike, hurry up and start a champagne brand. I'll buy it!"

“I purchase directly!”

As a result, European and American wineries really sent Warner endorsement invitations one after another, and without exception, they were all champagne!

Zhou Yi couldn't hold it anymore.

Even if you give me a wine endorsement, I will consider it as your effort.

"I have to say, you are really blessed by God."

It wasn't face to face, otherwise, Qian Jiang couldn't hold back his laughter and raised his thumbs to Zhou Yi: "Do you know how popular you are in Europe and America now? Especially in Europe, it has even stimulated a new round of sales growth for your past albums."

Zhouyi: "..."

"Do you know how much expensive advertising costs this wave of free popularity can save the company? Now the streets and alleys of Europe and the United States are full of popularity about you, all of which are spontaneous reports. We didn't spend a penny..."

The more I talk about Qianjiang, the more emotional I feel.

Logically speaking, the metaphysical character of Ziweixing should be the one that should be destroyed, but Zhou Yi has managed to keep it alive until now. This is too outrageous.

Logically speaking, popping champagne at halftime should have destroyed his image, but because Zhou Yi himself talked about the scenario of the weak defeating the strong before the game, he was able to maintain a solid foundation - and because of popping champagne at halftime, he became a globally famous hot topic.

One word to describe it - invincible! Damn invincible!

This saves Warner a lot of trouble.

Warner, who is very good at making things happen, immediately followed this wave of popularity and got this champagne meme that swept the world for free.

“Spike’s new album Monster will be released worldwide on June 6th…”

At this moment, international big companies including Sony, Universal, EMI, as well as medium and small companies and even local record companies in various countries, were watching this news report that swept the world, their teeth were almost broken with jealousy.

Fuck!
Why? !
Is he God's illegitimate son? !

Hundreds of millions of dollars of popularity for free without spending a penny? !

Is there any royal law? !

Is there any justice? ! ! !
