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

Chapter 458 Genius, Unstoppable

An hour later and fifteen minutes later, backstage at the auditorium.

Under Qian Jiang's strange gaze, Zhou Yi, who had seen off the future superstar, stretched lazily comfortably.

"I'm warning you, Ayi, that girl is only 17 years old, not yet an adult. Although there are many people of this age who don't obey the law, there are many eyes staring at you now, don't make any mistakes."

"…Who do you think I am? She is not my type."

Zhou Yi curled his lips and said, "I've always been the one who wrote about others in papers. This is the first time someone wants to write about me in a paper. I'm just curious."

I just don’t know if this sister can finish writing the thesis in the future.

If I remember correctly, I dropped out of college after two years? Was it because I was raped by a music producer and became depressed or something?

Including the Katy Perry whom he recognized last time at the music awards because of an accidental chest burying, Lady Gaga should be the second future diva he has recognized.

In terms of popularity in China alone, the future top lady Gaga can be said to be far ahead. She even created a popular internet buzzword - Oh My Lady Gaga.

Absolutely phenomenal.

"I think this girl wants to be famous too much. You'd better have less contact with her. You never know what she might do in the future to become famous."

Qian Jiang shook his head, and with the eyes of a veteran, he pointed out that the questions Lady Gaga asked for her thesis were actually a marketing hype.

Obviously, the girl was smart and saw something.

As for ambition, he has also seen it in Scarlett Johansson, but Scarlett at least knows how to restrain herself in front of Zhou Yi.

"I don't care. I will never be the one who suffers."

Zhou Yi moved his neck twice nonchalantly, and when he saw Johnny Depp and the others had entered the backstage from the corner of his eye, he smiled and greeted them -

Shake hands with Jerry, the director, and Depp, and hug lead actress Keira Knightley.

"Hey Spike, you're being too discriminatory."

Depp, who was quite cheerful in private at this stage, smiled and punched Zhou Yi on the shoulder: "Keira, be careful of this playboy."

"I don't have Scarlett's charm."

Keira Knightley, who was covering her mouth with her hands while laughing, mentioned Scarlett Johansson intentionally or unintentionally, but Zhou Yi's expression did not change.

When everyone was present, they began to discuss issues related to film promotion.

Since they were in the Film Academy, they basically just answered some professional questions. As for Zhou Yi, he was mainly responsible for responding to various doubts and - bragging - raised by students from the Academy's music department.

As we all know, Zhou Yi's name "Purple Star" has spread to the United States.

"Bulletproof Monk" was released for half a month, and the total box office is less than 2000 million US dollars. It is already a foregone conclusion that it will lose money. At the same time, it also gave Zhou Yi's idiotic statement of "what you say is what you say" a living example among the American people.

Because the happy education advocated has harmed generation after generation, and various media strictly control the information and channels that can be shown to the public, the American people have basically no ability to distinguish many idiotic remarks. This has led to the legend of Zhouyi's Ziweixing having a lot of "credibility" in the United States with the help of the example of MGM executives breaking through the defense.

The film's lead actor Chow Yun-fat was completely blacklisted by Hollywood, leaving him no room for maneuver, and he was not even included in the promotional roadshow.

Qian Jiang didn't know where this man had gone for a while. He only knew that he was too embarrassed to go back to Hong Kong for the time being because everyone was mocking him for overestimating his own abilities and challenging Ziweixing.

Disney also intends to use this attribute of Zhouyi to boost the film's score - it doesn't need to be a lot, we can just pick a few good things to say, such as making a small profit or something.

But Zhou Yi's answer made everyone's tailbone numb, including Depp: the global box office will be over 6 million US dollars.

"I'm just exaggerating. You guys can say something normal. This way, even if I get slapped in the face and ridiculed in the end, it's just me. And between the two, I can use this to hype up the movie during its release."

Zhou Yi's hard-working character after receiving the resource exchange moved producer Jerry to tears.

It has to be Spike, this guy is great! What a professional and selfless spirit!
This is worth learning for every big star in Hollywood!

Johnny Depp, who is used to the fickleness of human relationships in the entertainment industry, swallowed his saliva implicitly and glanced with some surprise at Zhou Yi who was discussing with the producer and director.

In Hollywood, before, during, and after a movie is released, people will come up with some tricks to increase popularity. But for someone like Zhou Yi, who is willing to sacrifice his own fame to pave the way when everything is unknown before the release, there is a bit of chivalry in him.

This is charity in the true sense.

Don’t think that Hollywood doesn’t understand what chivalry is. Loyalty is a concept that is universal to the world.

The risk of damaging his reputation is extremely serious for Zhou Yi at this stage. This is a label that Warner has worked hard to market for him.

"Has he always been like this?" The heroine Keira was equally surprised. She secretly pulled Depp's clothes and muttered.

"It seems so." Depp nodded subconsciously.

He now seemed to understand why Mariah Carey said Spike was the manliest man she had ever met.

Everyone wants to play with loyal people. At least it’s comfortable and there’s no need to worry about being backstabbed.

Therefore, when Zhou Yi publicly shouted "I think the global box office of the movie should be over 600 million US dollars" at the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project meeting at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts an hour later, the students below suddenly caused a commotion.

A box office of $600 million is not a small amount in this era, not to mention that Zhou Yi mentioned more than 600 million.

If this could really reach Disney, I'm sure they would be so happy.

"Spike, did you say that on purpose? Just to create a gimmick for yourself and the movie?" a film student questioned.

"Bulletproof Monk" - didn't you hate Chow Yun-fat, so you just got it right by chance, and now you're breathing heavily?
Zhou Yi on the stage of the auditorium shook his head: "No, no, no, if you know me, you will know that I never lie, and I don't bother to lie. To be honest, I am the creator of the theme song, which means I have seen the rough cut.

"So, I can say responsibly that what I said is absolutely correct."

"Why are you so absolute?"

Zhou Yi, who was crossing his legs, smiled slightly: "Because I have never missed it."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The students were silent for a moment.

You call that a fucking reason?

Damn, even James Cameron can’t brag as much as you!

It turns out that Zhouyi’s current traffic is indeed huge——

After he finished the first day of cooperating with the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to promote the film, many reports that expanded on his words appeared on the market, causing Zhou Yi's popularity, which was originally controlled by Sony, to rise again under the intervention of Warner...

On May 5, the New York Daily News, the most famous and most widely circulated tabloid in the United States, directly put a photo of Zhou Yi "making irresponsible remarks" on the front page:

"A genius who never made a mistake in his life?"

The New York Post, the oldest gossip newspaper in the United States, even used an exaggerated headline to describe Zhou Yi's self-confidence at the moment, which seemed to be conceited to others:

Genius: Unstoppable!

"No one can defeat Spike in the areas he appears in. He is like an emperor from the East, conquering our eyes inch by inch. He is unstoppable!"
