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

Chapter 887 Haha, I'm going to be famous!
Wang Likun is very confident in her appearance. Thanks to her years of dance practice, she also has a great figure and elegant demeanor.

When she changed into a black, tight-fitting turtleneck sweater according to the script, she cleverly folded the collar down halfway, revealing her fair neck, thus creating a very direct visual impact.

As we all know, a solid-color, tight-fitting turtleneck sweater is the type of innerwear that best showcases a woman's figure.

Even though you're completely covered up, the curves of your breasts and the exposed neck still manage to spark the imagination. The hazy, dreamlike senses of the brain automatically fill in the gaps in what isn't actually seen, and that's the most lethal thing about it.

Wang Likun is clearly very good at it—

As her smooth fingers pressed the piano keys with his large hand, she would occasionally turn her head to look at Zhou Yi, who was teaching her, with a surprised look in her eyes. Several times, her nose almost brushed against Zhou Yi's cheek, but she was completely unaware. Instead, she seemed to be immersed in the game and playing with great relish.

"This melody is nice, is it your new song?" Although she doesn't have much musical talent, Wang Likun can still tell whether something is catchy or not, even if the man's playing is intermittent and lacks rhythm because of her presence.

Zhou Yi shook his head and smiled: "If I could write such a melody, then my life would be complete, and I wouldn't have lived in vain."

?

Wang Likun was genuinely surprised; her slightly open mouth betrayed her true feelings.

Who is Zhou Yi?

Even with a large number of haters, it doesn't affect his inclusion in Chinese and even world pop music history books and textbooks. He is a banner of Chinese pop entertainment to the outside world.

"Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, how could it not sound good?" Seemingly noticing the woman's surprise, Zhou Yi smiled and said the name.

"..."

That's fine.

Even though she had never heard of classical music before, when the name "Bach" came up, Wang Likun automatically understood everything.

Even if she's completely ignorant, she should at least have heard of the name Beijing Dance Academy; it's an arts institution, after all.

How long have you been practicing piano?

Thinking of Zhou Yi's numerous legendary buffs, Wang Likun couldn't help but feel curious.

He played Chopin before and now Bach. Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been playing the piano since he was a child. But judging from his past experiences uncovered by the media, he wasn't lying.

"When I was little, I didn't have the means to practice. In high school, I had classmates from well-off families, and we got to play together and I even got to touch it. Later, when I started earning my own money, I bought textbooks from Xinhua Bookstore and taught myself." Zhou Yi downplayed the important parts of his early romance.

After all, early romantic relationships are discouraged, so it's best to keep them to yourself.

As for my exceptional learning ability—it's something I was born with, there's no way around it, it's a natural buff.

Even the worst acting can be turned into a decent performance under the pressure of a director like Jiang Wen, who is good at developing actors. He just doesn't want to torture himself on the path of acting anymore.

"A female classmate, right?" Wang Likun pushed up her glasses and saw through the truth at a glance.

For art students, puppy love is almost a certainty, if not 97%.

Zhou Yi's personality doesn't seem like something he would have started to indulge in promiscuity and womanizing after getting into university.

"That was the first time in my life that I had ever encountered a real piano, even though it was just an old piano."

Without giving a definitive answer, Zhou Yi swept his ten fingers across the piano keys twice. This time, the melody he played was no longer disjointed because it was free of unnecessary embellishments, and it was a delight to listen to.

Men who can play the piano are really handsome.

Wang Likun, who was looking at him with her chin resting on her hand, seemed eager to try: "Do you think I have a talent for playing the piano?"

"No, your talent is even worse than Fan Bingbing's."

How will you know if you don't try?

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

How will I know I can't do it if I don't try?

Beijing, Gao Yuanyuan's home.

Despite Yuan Yuan's skepticism, Jing Tian sat cross-legged on the living room carpet, hands on her hips, looking incredibly proud: "I underwent nearly a year of vocal training to complete the recording of this EP."

As the first friend she made after entering the industry, Jing Tian and Gao Yuanyuan got along well despite their age difference—even though her vocal coach was Zhang Yadong.

There's a saying that goes something like this: Let's each talk about our own perspectives.

Compared to Zhang Yadong, who was involved in the music industry, Gao Yuanyuan became her mentor in the film and television industry. Since they became acquainted last year, she has been able to give Zhang Yadong a crash course in the industry knowledge and common sense that no one had taught her before.

"Okay, okay, our Tian Tian is the best."

Gao Yuanyuan, like a soothing child, easily won people over with just a few words, only to deliver a final blow: "I just hope the final result won't be the same as last year's 'Model and Singer'."

Jing Tian's smile vanished instantly—a person who wants to win doesn't smile.

"Sister Yuanyuan, you're bullying me again!"

Looking back to last year, Zhou Yi's highly anticipated new album was released, and his role as Liu Shishi, a blind girl in the costume drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," made him an instant star. It is said that he was signed by a film and television company in Shanghai before he even graduated, becoming another promotional case for the Beijing Dance Academy.

Even Gao Yuanyuan, a top-tier star, gained a lot of new fans with her outstanding performance in "Love Transfer," which may also be due to her rumored relationship with Zhou Yi.

Jing Tian is the only exception. Not only did her music videos go unnoticed, but even her song "Model and Singer" itself was ignored, and it never made it onto the charts despite being credited as the singer Zhou Yi.

This almost brought her to tears, as the gap between her expectations and reality was too great.

Fortunately, after regaining her composure, with three songs specially tailored for her by Zhou Yi and another song written for her by Zhang Yadong, she was able to devote all her energy to vocal practice. A month ago, she completed the recording and packaging of her EP album and began promotional activities.

Three days later, it will be the release date of her EP.

Three songs in total! Written by the very author of the Book of Changes!

She refused to believe she couldn't become famous!

She's heard them all, and they're really good! The kind that's easy to sing along to!
Yes, specifically referring to the three poems written by Zhou Yi.

Although she is still a novice, she has ears and knows how to make comparisons—the songs produced by vocal teacher Zhang Yadong seem like half-finished products that have been rummaged through a wastepaper basket and then processed in comparison.

It doesn't sound bad, but it's not good either; it's just ordinary. It's like burning the midnight oil on the last night before summer vacation ends, trying to finish your summer homework regardless of whether the answers are right or wrong.

She felt it was rather perfunctory.

However, because Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Yadong had been in a romantic relationship, even though they broke up rather unpleasantly, she didn't want to speak ill of her teacher in front of her best friend—she simply decided to stop sending Zhang Yadong money for music lessons in the future.

If she hadn't known Zhang Yadong beforehand and if her agent hadn't already paid her tuition and production fees in one lump sum, she wouldn't have studied with Zhang Yadong for a year; she would have gone to Warner Music long ago.

Even if idol Zhou Yi doesn't have time to personally produce her EP, Warner Music has other people. As we all know, Warner Music currently has the most talented people with independent creative and production abilities among all record companies in the Chinese music scene.

Did you tell Zhou Yi?

“I texted Yi Ge. He’s still preparing to shoot the music video for his new album, but he also told me to keep going, hehe.”

"He's probably too busy chasing girls to bother with a minor like you." Seeing her friend looking so clueless, Gao Yuanyuan glanced at the pile of newspapers on the coffee table and then ruthlessly complained.

Gao Yuanyuan Joins Zhou Yi's MV Crew! Becoming the New Generation of Yi Girl!

This is the title.

Xu Ke's highly praised heroine Wang Likun becomes the female lead in Zhou Yi's new music video!

This was the previous headline about Wang Likun—but Gao Yuanyuan ignored it entirely.

She just felt that little Gao Yuanyuan was a bit of a nuisance.

What the hell does this mean?
They think she, the real Gao Yuanyuan, is too old?

Little Gao Yuanyuan, you're really good at bragging.

Besides sharing the same surname as me, does Gao Lu have any other similarities with me, even in the slightest?

The eyes are on the dog's belly!

"Is this what you meant by 'riding the coattails of others' popularity, Sister Yuanyuan?" Jing Tian, ​​putting her knowledge to practical use, leaned closer to the newspaper and asked.

With a mentor, she finally gained a basic understanding of the industry and then crammed on the relevant knowledge she didn't know before. However, it was all just theory, and she was lacking in practical case studies. Then, the press releases about Xiao Gao Yuanyuan that Gao Lu's company had bought were delivered to her door to broaden her horizons.

It has to be said that it was indeed effective. She was immediately intimidated by the title "Little Gao Yuanyuan" and even bought a newspaper to read the details.

"That's how this industry is. It's not shameful to take shortcuts to fame. Once you're successful, someone will naturally help you forget this history. Zhou Yi even asked Little Dance King to piggyback on Aaron Kwok's fame, although he only did so for a few months before and after the release of his first album."

Seeing her friend's naive and clueless appearance, Gao Yuanyuan shook her head inwardly and started her lecture again: "After you release your album, remember to study hard while you're promoting it. If you want to act in movies, going to film school is very necessary. I'll introduce you to a tutoring class then."

Jing Tian nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I know, Sister Yuanyuan, but I have things to do next year, so I might not be able to start the tutoring class so soon."

"?"

Gao Yuanyuan asked in confusion, "What are you planning to do next year? Are you planning to take extra classes to follow in your idol's footsteps and try to get into Peking University?"

"It's nothing major. My agent told me that they've put together a movie project and wanted me to try out a leading role."

"..."

Damn me!
Suddenly recalling Zhou Yi's mockery of her, Gao Yuanyuan was instantly rendered speechless.

After a long pause, she finally convinced herself that everyone is different, and then changed the subject, saying, "What about the EP? Do you have it in stock? I want to listen to it?"

"I brought it, I brought it. I came today to give you my EP album in advance, Sister Yuanyuan, so you can listen to it and give me some feedback." After getting down to business, Jing Tian immediately put down her chopsticks, stood up, and took out a CD and DVD that had not yet been released from her coat pocket.

Jing Tian.

Zhang Yadong originally intended to call it "Who Are You", but this name was rejected by Warner's marketing department, who suggested that it be released under Jing Tian's personal name.

The CD case was luxurious, and the included accessories, stacked up, were thicker than the CD case itself. As for the DVD, that was just music videos—

"You made music videos for all six of your songs?"

Gao Yuanyuan was astonished by the extravagance of the wealthy dog-owning family.

She could understand making music videos for Zhou Yi's songs, but she was surprised that he made music videos for the other three as well. Upon checking the information included with the DVD, she discovered that the music video director was Ning Hao, the winner of the Golden Melody Award for Best Music Video—the only director to have directed music videos for two of Zhou Yi's albums.

Although there was one instance where it was a well-known case of nominal appointment.

Didn't they say they got Zhou Yi to invest in making a low-budget movie? How come they have time to shoot a music video?

Is filming finished?
“Yeah, right? Yi-ge only shoots music videos, so if we’re going to learn from him, we should definitely follow through.” Jing Tian, ​​who had become a complete fangirl ever since Zhou Yi was shot, nodded vigorously.

An idol is a man who inspires her to move forward!

Then naturally we should all follow his example!
Forget about money; if something can be solved with money, it's no problem for her!

"Okay, then I wish you great success and instant prosperity in advance." Gao Yuanyuan, who accepted the gift, raised her glass of juice and clinked glasses with her.

"Go go go go go!!!"

Jing Tian was full of energy, shouting out his ambitions.

Three days later, her name and album appeared in major music stores and on QQ Music's platform through Warner's entire distribution channels, featured in special banners highlighting the album's features.

With both online and offline paid services offered simultaneously, thanks to the experience of the Apple Music Store and the bandwagon effect led by Warner artists, QQ Music has been a platform where paid and free services coexist since its inception. Warner even specially opened an online listening service for Jing Tian's album.

"Curved Eyelashes", "Love You Love You", "Cherry Blossom Grass"

The three songs, all written, composed, and arranged by Zhou Yi, were displayed on a large banner recommending the album. Fans who immediately contacted Zhou Yi, who appeared on Jing Tian's album cover as a standee, burst out laughing.

"Holy crap! Zhou Yi has never sung this, and yet his posters are being used for advertising?"

"I just bought it at the music store, and I'll buy another copy from QQ Music. I'll leave a comment."

"Rich people".

"My record store owner is even more shameless. He directly brought out Zhou Yi's poster and said it was Zhou Yi's latest album, which attracted a large number of people to watch."

"What's going on with Jing Tian? She appeared in Zhou Yi's music video last year, and this year Zhou Yi wrote three songs for her. The music video for her album was even directed by Golden Melody Award-winning director Ning Hao? That's a big production."

"Where's Zhou Yi? I didn't hear Zhou Yi sing, and he wasn't even in the music video. How come he's on the poster?"

"..."

Thanks to the inherent popularity of the I Ching, Jing Tian's solo EP, which had been promoted for over a month, achieved a sales figure on its first day of release that made even her hands tremble—

There are nearly 130,000 online QQ Music records and nearly 80,000 offline records.

The next morning, Jing Tian, ​​who had been so excited she hadn't slept all night, received the first day's sales figures and her eyes widened in surprise—

"Yay! I'm going to be famous! I'm going to be famous! Hahahaha!!!"
