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

Chapter 861 This is called pilgrimage
The "shocking kiss" at the Academy Awards is still talked about among the Gemini CP fans.

If that photo that was enough to be recorded in the history of the Academy Awards stage had become the evidence for them to hold their heads high and even arrest other CP fans across circles and force them to admit who was the legitimate queen of Warner;

Now, Sun Yanzi’s personal blog has added a bunch of “out-of-print” poses, which completely confirms her reputation as the Queen of Warner on the Internet!
"Apart from Yan Zi, who else could have gotten Zhou Yi to cooperate in taking these photos? Hei Zi, speak up!"

"They dare to take photos like this in public, but I can't imagine how much fun they have in private."

"Woo woo woo, Zhou Yi, be gentle."

“Will you also take photos in private?”

"Yeah, Yanzi, take a private photo! Please!"

"Yanzi, I don't eat vegetables, can you take some meaty photos, thank you."

"This Zhou Yi's face looks quite rosy, how can he be as pale as paper and weak as a thread?"

"Isn't this just for refuting rumors? Yanzi has already responded to fans before."

"Yi Zhi'er appears! Yan Zi, quickly put on Sheriff Black Cat's clothes and arrest him!"

"???"

"Don't you fucking ruin my childhood!"

"..."

Stupid young people are more happy.

After the photos of Zhou Yi in various poses, which seemed like nothing happened, appeared, the tone of comments on Sun Yanzi's personal blog changed from shock, worry, and blessings at the beginning to a wishing well.

As time passed, the reveling night owls gradually fell asleep, and the real netizen forces began to go online. Suddenly, Zhou Yi's funny photos spread to every corner of the network in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macao thanks to the Internet's communication characteristics.

The lag in communication through paper media channels was clearly revealed at this moment.

Scheduling, reprinting, and listing all take time, and even if they are expedited, they cannot be as fast and convenient as on Internet news websites. A large amount of traffic is concentrated on the four major news portals in the mainland, and there are crazy piles of comments under each related news.

The only good thing is the TV station.

The morning news of Jiangxi TV in his hometown gave the most detailed description of Zhou Yi's latest news at the first time, and even showed the photos posted by Sun Yanzi - of course, they were all normal and not funny poses.

What to do if your child is naughty?
Then let him be.

Who made Zhou Yi just a kid in his twenties?

CCTV1 then spent nearly seven minutes in its morning news to explain in detail Zhou Yi's experience in the United States, and used the photos on Sun Yanzi's blog as evidence to send Zhou Yi a flood of recovery blessings.

The only thing that makes Zhou Yi's fans dissatisfied is that Zhou Yi's personal blog only posts one or two updates when promoting albums, endorsement activities, and scolding people, and the rest of the time it doesn't move at all.

It’s the same both at home and abroad.

Unlike Sun Yanzi, a pure internet addict girl, those who don’t know her would think that she has nothing to do and just hangs out on the Internet all day.

After Zhou Yi created that yellow funny emoticon, it has now become a "unified measurement" that is popular both at home and abroad. It is difficult for netizens who have surfed the Internet, no matter where they are from, to resist the charm of this emoticon.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Go check, Zhou Yi's personal blog has been updated!"

Wei Zehan, who liked to wait and visit Zhou Yi's blog to leave his impressions and comments, once thought that he was dazzled. After confirming that he was indeed browsing Zhou Yi's blog and not a fake account, he did not even have time to read the content and directly shouted in the QQ group:

Soon, accompanied by the classic online notification sounds of "keke" and "ding ding ding", friends who had learned the news from various channels began to log in frequently.

"Thank you all my fans and friends for your concern and love, I am safe.

“This experience will be something I will never forget.

"I will keep this in mind and continue my journey.

"(Fist of Phoenix Flame)."

A brand new blog post, a poster showing the Phoenix Nirvana vaguely visible in the background, the perfect interweaving of light and shadow, and the luxurious charm is overwhelming.

Of course, there are three new hand-drawn emoticons at the end: fist phoenix flame.

It makes sense that the phoenix would rise from the ashes.

“So handsome!!!”

“My brother is so handsome!!!”

"You are the real chosen one, don't care about the slander of those ignorant people."

"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing. You can cause such a big stir in America. I admire you."

"I won't criticize you this time. Go back to China and have a rest. Don't stay in the US. It's not safe."

"..."

Different from Sun Yanzi's wishing well with a sudden change of style, the replies to Zhou Yi's blog were all blessings, consolations, and giegie was the best and giegie was the most handsome.

It was released almost simultaneously in China and abroad, with the same content but different text. The foreign version was entirely in English - the emoticons remained the same.

In China, there is the phoenix that is reborn from the ashes, and in foreign countries, there is also the phoenix that is reborn from the ashes.

"Oh, Spike, you're still awake at this late hour? Are you still reporting safety?"

"Are you in so much pain that you can't sleep? I feel sorry for you."

"Rest well Spike, God will keep you in good health."

"Spike is so handsome!"

"Spike, I will always be your believer! (fist) (Phoenix) (flame)!"

"(Fist)(Phoenix)(Flame)!"

"Spike! You are the most powerful pop singer in the world! (fist) (Phoenix) (flame)!"

Since there was no way to display custom emoticons in blog posts in the blog era, the following combinations were either replaced by English words in brackets, or people simply learned to hand-draw stickers and posted them to show their support.

Countless fans who participated in the parade in 30 states across the United States were surprised and satisfied.

They had just finished their support parade, and their idol came out to respond to them. Is there a more romantic two-way run in the world than this? !
No!

CNN, which bought the exclusive interview rights of Spike for a sky-high price of 500 million US dollars, announced the matter to the public immediately. However, Warner did not sell the exclusive rights for the public press conference on the afternoon of the 10th, but gave the live broadcast rights to four major TV stations including ABC for joint broadcast.

The competition among reporters who want to enter the scene is so fierce that even CCTV reporters are no exception.

Everyone wants to see whether the legendary man is really alive and well and in good health.

Bruno Mars, who just came out of Hawaii, was very sorry that this press conference was not open to anyone except the media.

After participating in the Warner Records Challenge, he wanted to be a singer but was rejected because of his appearance. This time, he lowered his requirements and only did behind-the-scenes music work. He signed with Motown Records and became a full-time behind-the-scenes music worker.

There's no other way, I have to make a living.

Without education and good looks, he can only make a living by relying on his musical skills.

Moreover, when he officially started working behind the scenes, he realized how unrealistic it was for him to be a singer - not everyone is as talented as his idol Spike.

These are the exact words of the Motown Records boss who signed him as a behind-the-scenes worker.

As the company that once made Michael Jackson and 5 famous, although Motown Records is not in a very good ecological position now, it still has a complete network of contacts and various trainings, which are enough for a young man like him to learn.

He also sneaked over to join a parade in Los Angeles in support of Spike. Although he was indeed a little short and looked a bit funny holding signs and banners, he was still loyal, and the Los Angeles fan club did not reject him.

The idols have all said it - we want equality, not discrimination!
"Bruno, do you think Spike will need help getting on stage?"

Two o'clock in the afternoon on the 10th.

Bruno Mars, who had been waiting in front of the TV for ABC's broadcast, rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Come on, are you ok?"

Are there really idiots who believe in the theory of substitute?
How stupid do Warner and Apple have to be to do this?

My friend said, "But seriously, are you really not going to send a demo to Warner? I still hold the same view as before. As long as you can send it to Spike, I think he will definitely be interested in you."

"No, I think I still need to learn. I'll learn here at Motown Records first."

Bruno Mars, whose edges have been smoothed out by reality, has a melancholy tone: "When I have learned enough and accumulated some experience, I will try to apply to Warner. At present, Motown Records is more suitable for me. Warner has too many requirements and restrictions. If I go there, there is a high possibility that I won't even get a chance to learn and work behind the scenes." The most important thing is that he has to make money.

Warner is such a big company, it is difficult for a newcomer like him to make money quickly working behind the scenes.

Motown Records is small now, so even if he still needs to learn, he can quickly get started on the project and make money.

To live.

You can't always ask your family for money for everything.

"For example, if I want to go to Spike's concert this time, I can't count on getting tickets. It will cost money to find a scalper to buy tickets. If I work at Warner, I won't have the opportunity to start a project and start making money in a short time."

Bruno, who has completed more than ten small orders, now has some savings and can move out and live on his own.

After joining Motown Records, he even got to know a lot of scalpers.

After all, it is well known that behind every popular singer's concert, the biggest scalper is the record company/organizer itself.

He came into contact with many powerful channels that had resold various tickets for the Michael Jackson 5 in the past.

Although Lao Mai left Motown Records after going solo, many of the powerful scalpers back then are still working in this industry.

The press conference started on time at 2:30 p.m.

Under the expectation of the crowd, Zhou Yi, who stepped onto the podium of the press conference with Edgar Jr. and Zhou Jianhui, successfully attracted everyone's attention.

The tailor-made Armani suit neatly embellished the man's figure. Zhou Yi, who was bare-faced without any makeup, had a very good skin condition, which was clearly shown in front of the camera of every live broadcast.
The big circle of gauze on the left ear is gone, replaced by just a small piece, which does not affect the appearance much.

The flashing lights were enough to blind a normal person who had not received any training, but Zhou Yi no longer felt the soreness in his eyes like he did when he first debuted. Instead, he showed a standard smile when he pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Thank you all for coming. As you can see, thank God, I am back."

He spoke with full of energy, which completely refuted the body double conspiracy theory started by the BBC.

"I know everyone is very curious, and I also know that if I just say it, there is a high probability that third-party media like the BBC will continue to make conspiracy theories about me..."

Zhou Yi's characterization of the BBC as a third-party media outlet right off the bat did not shock the media on the scene too much - except, of course, the BBC reporters.

The way everyone subconsciously looked at them made the BBC reporter somewhat annoyed.

Oh shit!

You just came back from injury and you're already so careless with your mouth. Why doesn't the bullet break your mouth?

Then, ppt made a comeback.

It's not just the Presbyterian Hospital's opinion. Top hospitals in New York and Los Angeles have all given corresponding reports, and each physical examination data shows how healthy Zhou Yi is now.

FOX reporter: "Spike, this shooting incident has caused a huge sensation across the United States. Your supporters and fans have held a large number of demonstrations in 30 states across the United States, which has caused considerable security pressure in the local area. Are you aware of this?"

Zhou Yi glanced at him and said, "If I were safe in the United States and had not been attacked, they could have just lived their lives happily. Study, work, and live in harmony, instead of taking to the streets to protest.

“I don’t think they did anything wrong, on the contrary, I am very grateful to them.

"They made me realize that although the United States is a corrupt and unreasonable country, there are still many people with lofty ideals trying to save everything in this country. This is the spontaneous unity of the people's hearts..."

What is happening in this country? We need to ask ourselves!
CBS reporter: "Spike, many people define the fact that you were only bruised after the attack as a blessing from God, and you happen to have a gospel rock song on your new album. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"I do not know."

Zhou Yi spread his hands and said jokingly, "I only know that many people used to be dissatisfied with me saying that I am the greatest under God. Now I think you can go and interview them to find out whether I am the greatest under God."

"..."

You are awesome and everything you said is right.

ABC reporter: "Spike, why do you insist on holding the concert instead of canceling it? Aren't you afraid of encountering related shooting incidents again?"

Zhou Yi's expression suddenly became serious: "Because of my fans and friends."

"Your fans?"

"No, no, no, they are my friends, my fan friends, not my fans. We have a normal and equal friendship."

Zhou Yi raised his right index finger and shook it: "To be honest, everyone, including those around me, advised me to cancel this New York concert. No one will blame me, and it can't even be considered a breach of contract because this is a force majeure event.

“I was also shaken until I saw the various parades held by my fans and friends for me.

“There are no conflicts of interest and no ulterior motives.

“I was touched by their pure desire to support me and speak up for me.

“So I chose to let the concert go on as scheduled.

"Even if it means facing a lot of criticism, I still want to respond to the wishes of my fans..."

As he spoke, he patted his left chest solemnly.

Bruno Mars in front of the TV was moved to the point of tears.

This is my idol!
Pilgrimage! I must go on a pilgrimage to the concert!

NBC reporter: "Spike, after what happened, do you feel that what you did in the past was a bit excessive? A bit aggressive? Will you change this? The media says you are the savior, and some people call you the Phoenix. You have a tendency to be deified. What do you think of this?
"You know, your past personality performance is quite different from the perfection that the public perceives."

"First."

Zhou Yi raised his index finger and said, "I am indeed tired of some things in the past, but I won't tell you what they are now. You will know them later."

Then he raised a second finger: "Second, don't tell me what you think I will become. I can be the savior of sailing, but this is my own business.

“I know people try to label me, but I don’t think I have to cater to the media.

"Yes, I do look like a bad person, but it's also my best performance."

Well, it still looks like Spike.

The reporter was relieved.

Future performance is also guaranteed.

CNN reporter: "Do you have anything to say to your fans, Spike? They support you so much. The parade in 30 states is unprecedented in the history of American pop music."

"..."

Zhou Yi was silent for a while, then he raised the microphone and said, "When I was in the hospital ward, I tried to imagine what would happen to me if my fans were not standing by my side, but I couldn't imagine it at all.

"I only know that as long as we stand together, we can be omnipotent like gods."

"..."

!!!

In front of the broadcast cameras of thousands of households, Zhou Yi's affectionate confession directly ignited the sense of honor in the hearts of every fan who participated in the parade -

With an idol like this, what more could one ask for!

Buy tickets, buy tickets!

Go buy your tickets straight away!
Damn Warner, release the tickets!

Please give me the ticket! I want to go to the concert!
Bruno Mars, feeling warm inside, took out his cell phone and called the scalper boss whom he met after joining Motown Records.

"Jack, it's me, Bruno. Change that, I want a front row ticket, as close to the stage as possible."

"What? Bruno, I advise you to think carefully. The price you have reserved now is already six thousand dollars. If you move up a position, it is possible to pay ten thousand dollars, or even more."

On the phone, the leader of the scalpers was very surprised.

"Ten thousand dollars is ten thousand dollars, I don't care!"

Bruno Mars was very excited: "This is called a pilgrimage!"
