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

Chapter 928 Here's my phone number, remember to call me.
As Warner Music's top female artist, Sun Yanzi signed her contract renewal last year when news broke that Zhou Yi would not renew his contract. The new contract is for five years and will expire in 2010.

Zhou Yi herself also attended her contract renewal press conference, where she emphasized that she would not leave Warner to stop the increasingly rampant rumors of her switching jobs.

In other words, compared to Zhou Yi, whose contract renewal is currently uncertain, Sun Yanzi offers fans a more stable expectation.

If they were to take a break after 08, who knows how much the expectant fans would react, especially those who are career-oriented.

It is well known that career-oriented fans are often more concerned about the career development of celebrities than the celebrities themselves.

"It shouldn't be anything serious." Sun Yanzi, munching on pudding, sank comfortably into the single sofa. Perhaps because the air conditioning was on, she had a blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

Influenced by the I Ching, she now enjoys doing this in the summer: after taking a shower, she turns the air conditioning down and wraps herself up, which feels very comfortable.

"That's hard to say. Who knows, the Warner Bros. twins might end up as a lazy duo."

With an ice pop dangling from his mouth, Zhou Yi was still listening to the demo of "Love Story": "You've ruined my reputation."

As the first single from Sun Yanzi's solo English EP "Stefanie song", the demo is quite good in terms of its completion. However, some parts do not yet meet Zhou Yi's standards and need improvement.

"It is you who ruined my reputation."

Sun Yanzi, who firmly disagreed with the label of "lazybones," rested her elbow on the sofa armrest and poked the man's waist with her foot to express her dissatisfaction: "I'm a famous workaholic."

Because there wasn't enough distance, she moved the sofa forward to make sure her taut toes could touch his waist.

"If you can be considered a model worker, then what am I?"

"You're awesome."

"Have a vision."

Zhou Yi was satisfied with the answer, and then rejected her demo: "But no matter how much you praise me, this demo still won't pass."

"?"

"Reporting to the company's recording studio tomorrow." Producer Zhou Yi officially went online.

Sun Yanzi, still eating pudding, puffed out her cheeks, and her eyes, which had just been full of light, suddenly dimmed: "The remaining three songs together?"

As her first English EP, Zhou Yi, who was also a full-time producer for the first time, set a limit of four songs, with "Love Story" being the first one she received.

This song is derived from the love story of Romeo and Juliet. Given that there is a song called "Liang Shanbo and Juliet" in "A Perfect Day", Zhou Yi gave her this song without any doubt.

It's just a different way of telling the same story.

"No, to be honest, I haven't decided on the remaining three songs yet."

The Chinese music library is indeed running low, but the English music library isn't yet; it's just that he needs to work on it more and consider compatibility.

There's just no way around it, there are just too many songs to choose from.

Since the album is titled "Stefanie Song," Zhou Yi still hopes to establish a consistent album atmosphere to shape her English music image—this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Sun Yanzi still has ambition now, but it's hard to say what will happen in a few years. This means that her English EP will most likely be her last.

"Don't think about it if you haven't made up your mind yet. I'm not in a hurry."

Sun Yanzi, who never rushes Zhou Yi when it comes to work, quickly changed the subject: "But what about the Golden Melody Awards? If they are really threatened by you, can you still withdraw on the grounds that you are being targeted by them?"

Although it's a joke about Zhou Yi being lazy, it's just a joke. The fatigue from intense mental work can easily lead to exhaustion.

"Why can't we use it? They were already targeting me before, can they refute it?" Zhou Yi replied casually, rubbing his temples.

Sun Yanzi was stunned.

what?
“I admit that I didn’t think that way at first, but I was indeed tempted by what I heard.”

Zhou Yi's original plan was to use the groundwork laid in 05, and then make a big deal out of the likely occurrence of Hu Defu winning the award while he lost it, so as to withdraw as a victim.
But Qian Jiang, as his agent, was clearly unwilling to let Zhou Yi's withdrawal be overshadowed by this—especially after the Golden Melody Awards invited Hu Defu, he directly believed that this was an attempt to openly engage in shady dealings.

Seeing his righteous indignation, Zhou Yi didn't say much, after all, they had been cooperating for so many years.

The main reason was that Zhou Yi was genuinely intrigued after hearing Qian Jiang's plan; he was truly curious to see if Qian could succeed. Although this might make some people hate him to the core, so what?

They all ran away with their buckets.

In a way, the Golden Melody Awards should thank him—if things had gone according to his original plan, the Golden Melody Awards would have been forever condemned to the pillory of shame in the history of Chinese pop music.

But now, if the Golden Melody Awards "repent" and try to make up for their mistakes with the trophy and repent to Zhou Yi, while also trying to retain Zhou Yi, then they will receive less negative comments.

At least from the perspective of the general public, this year's Golden Melody Awards did its best.

As for Zhou Yi accepting the award and then withdrawing it, it can only be said that he was hurt too deeply. At most, he simply accepted the Golden Melody Award's apology, and the two parties parted ways peacefully rather than falling out.

If Zhou Yi truly keeps his word and retires, all that will remain for him is regret and sighs—Zhou Yi has won glory, the Golden Melody Award has restored his reputation, and he can pave the way for other singers in the Warner Music Group.

"...That's a real shame."

Sun Yanzi blinked, her eyes crinkling with laughter, as if she had just thought of something: "I was thinking of speaking up for you after the Golden Melody Awards, and then withdrawing from the Golden Melody Awards to show my support."

"You're quite loyal."

"Why can't it be love?"

"?"

Seeing Zhou Yi's gaze fall upon her, Sun Yanzi neither flinched nor avoided it. Instead, she took the initiative to stand up, bend down, and lean forward to place a kiss on his forehead: "Goodnight, you scheming boy."

"So what are you doing now, a scheming girl?"

"Please call me Juliet, thank you." Sun Yanzi, with a normal expression, stretched and turned to walk towards the bedroom—but the instant she closed the door, she did a frog jump and rolled into the quilt, her legs clamped around the blanket as she rolled back and forth on the bed.

What am I saying!
Keep your mouth shut! Keep your mouth shut! Keep your mouth shut!

I don't want to be Juliet!

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

"Good morning, Juliet."

"Shut up!"

"Don't be shy, Juliet, be bold."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!"

"Look up, Juliet, look at the camera, and smile."

"Aaaaaah! I'll kill you!"

The next day, the Warner (Taiwan) building was filled with the sounds of Sun Yanzi chasing after someone, leaving everyone puzzled and assuming that the two had a disagreement in the recording studio.

It's normal to have friction and disagreements when recording songs. "Love Story" is a song that draws inspiration from the classic tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet.

Yes, that makes sense.

"What do you mean by reasonable! It's not reasonable at all! Anyway, you're not allowed to say another word!"

Inside the recording studio, Sun Yanzi, who felt a surge of shame every time Zhou Yi called her Juliet, fiercely raised her hands and pressed the man back into the chair.

Zhou Yi nodded with a very serious smile: "Okay, Juliet, no problem, Juliet."

Sun Yanzi, feeling utterly hopeless, slumped onto the sofa like a deflated balloon, wriggling like a caterpillar, her eyes closed as if she wanted to escape this embarrassing world.

As the person involved, she is now filled with regret, deep regret, and extreme regret.

You shouldn't talk before you think; your toes are practically digging a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground.

"Click."

The iconic camera shutter sound rang out openly, and Sun Yanzi, not wanting to be photographed, instinctively covered her face and turned away—she had already given up on correcting this man.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Get up and keep recording."

"That liar is a dog."

"Wang."

"?"

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have joined Warner in the first place. If I hadn’t joined Warner, I wouldn’t have come to Taiwan. If I hadn’t come to Taiwan, I wouldn’t have met you. If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t have given you my phone number…”

Finally, muttering to herself the standard phrases of Manager Tong, Sun Yanzi slipped back into the recording studio amidst the man's unrestrained laughter.

When Zhou Yi is at home, she enjoys watching "My Own Swordsman," which became a hit after it aired at the beginning of this year. She finds it quite funny, and out of curiosity, she has watched a lot of it as well. She has even memorized some of the iconic lines without realizing it.

Perhaps because of her embarrassment and annoyance, the next few recordings of "Love Story" went exceptionally smoothly, with her emotions running high and her immersion in the role seemingly very complete.

When I finished recording for the day, the setting sun outside the window had already painted half of the horizon red.

After recording until her mouth was parched, Sun Yanzi gulped down the last two mouthfuls of water, her stomach growling with hunger.

To ensure the best recording conditions, she only had a quick bite of tea at noon and in the afternoon.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

"Aren't you going to pick up Jerome? Didn't he say he was going back to Taipei?"

"He has his own company, why would I take over? Or do you not want a fancy meal?"

"Eat, eat, eat."

Sun Yanzi nodded vigorously, secretly delighted. After glancing at him, she naturally took the man's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go."

The Porsche left a trail of afterimages in the setting sun, accompanied by gasps of amazement from passersby and the melodious chatter from the passenger seat.

Taipei still has many restaurants catering to celebrities and the wealthy, boasting prime locations and stunning nighttime views. However, due to the city's small size, very few celebrities can create a sensation in this particular area anymore.

However, the arrival of Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi still caused a stir.

The main one is the Book of Changes (I Ching), which is a truly rare find.

After finally getting all the autographs and photos, Zhou Yi returned to his private room and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just come back from a battlefield.

Sun Yanzi, who was still looking at the menu, looked up and saw his expression, and couldn't help but laugh: "If they knew this was the last chance to take a photo with you, wouldn't they be even more excited?"

"I don't know. I only know that if someone doesn't join Warner, doesn't know me, and isn't willing to give me their phone number..."

Zhou Yi pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing his arms on the table and looking directly at her: "Then she probably won't get to enjoy this feast."

"Yeah."

Sun Yanzi, knowing the answer already, raised an eyebrow, then wrote a phone number on a blank page of the menu, pushed it over, and said arrogantly, "This is my phone number. Now, you can call me anytime."
