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

Chapter 482 Zhou Yisang, you have a conscience
"Slander! This is blatant slander! Who is this bastard spreading rumors here? Make a list of them all!"

Zhou Yi, who was inexplicably burdened with the fate of being a wife-killer, was furious.

If possible, he would have wanted to follow the Internet and pin all these rumor mongers and spreaders to the ground and give them a good beating.

Sun Yanzi, a professional surfer, almost laughed out of breath——

"No, no, no, hahahaha, Zhou Yi, you have come to this day!"

The SARS ban has been lifted, and Sun Yanzi has returned to his normal work rhythm. He now spends every day in the company preparing for his new album "Unfinished". His entertainment in his spare time is surfing the Internet and eating melons.

Under high-intensity surfing, Zhou Yi, this outrageous mother, opened the door to outrageous things - the outrageous online rumors almost made her laugh to tears.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh. What are you laughing at? You want to be on the list too, right?" Zhou Yi, who was somewhat annoyed and angry, grabbed Sun Yanzi, who was chattering happily.

If I can't beat others across the Internet, can I not bully you?

You are using your real name and appearing in person!
"Wow, wow, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."

Sun Yanzi, who was pinned to the sofa and unable to move, turned his head and blinked pitifully, looking even more pitiful.

It was 30 degrees outside, but she was saying something that was 18 degrees: "Just let me go this time, okay, my wife-killing brother?"

"..."

Pinch?

Zhou Yi pressed harder, and Sun Yanzi, who was not angry but smiling, grinned even happier, and cried out even more happily: "It hurts, it hurts! Be gentle, be gentle!"

"?"

The man slowly asked a question: "I can't believe you still like this tune?"

"That's not it. The main reason is that I can't resist you. In your words, since I can't resist, I might as well just lie down and enjoy it."

Sun Yanzi shook his head, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water: "A little lower, it happened to be raining every day a while ago and I'm almost moldy from lying down, can you clear my muscles and bones for me."

"Get lost."

Zhou Yi loosened his hands and slapped her on the shoulder in annoyance. Sun Yanzi, who had regained her freedom, flipped over with a somersault and automatically dubbed out the sound effect of "Hey" -

"Ah, I'm dead. I've got internal injuries. I can't work for at least seven days."

"Don't get mad in front of me. Go talk to Chen Zeshan if you have the guts."

Zhou Yi pushed away the woman's legs that were swinging in front of him with disdain: "You are already dead, so don't think about how long you can rest. Dead people don't need rest anyway."

"Screw you."

The moment the white and tender feet were pushed away, Sun Yanzi bent his legs and then straightened them, and gently kicked the man's defenseless waist.

Then she immediately shrank back, as if she was afraid of being grabbed by the ankles and used as a human pendulum. Her eyes rolled around, ready to deal with any possible attack from the man.

"I'm warning you, I'm in the album preparation stage now, and I'm a first-class protected animal in the company."

"Are you sure you want to compete with me in this?" Zhou Yi glanced at her with a half-smile, and Sun Yanzi immediately became obedient, but she was still holding back her words.

"Just wait until my English songs become famous."

There are two English songs in the new album that she collaborated with Mai Kuraki, one was written by her and the other was written by Mai Kuraki.

Under Chen Zeshan's planning, Sun Yanzi, who was not in a hurry to develop in Europe and the United States, took the lead in turning his attention to the Japanese market.

Not everyone is as lucky as Zhou Yi, who first encountered the global hit of "Rush Hour 2" in his first stage of venturing into Europe and the United States, and then picked up the closing ceremony of the World Cup.

Coupled with the high quality of the two singles, it went straight onto the fast track, became a global hit, and accumulated the first batch of fans in the international market.

Although Chen Zeshan is indeed criticized in some aspects, in terms of his ability to plan artists and control the market, he is indeed the best within Warner.

Although Sony kept Wang Lihong's experience in Japan a secret, it was no secret to the top executives of several major record companies in the industry.

He can basically be regarded as the first new generation singer to step out of the Chinese-speaking circle after Zhou Yi, but he ended up being a complete failure. Sony Japan couldn't even recover the publicity costs invested in him.

Under such circumstances, Chen Zeshan was even more glad that he had found the currently popular Japanese singer Mai Kuraki to collaborate with.

With Zhou Yi in charge, we will first test the waters in the Japanese market with the name of Warner Gemini and the gimmick of cooperating with Mai Kuraki, and see the response before further planning the next steps.

For example, based on market feedback, we can ask Zhou Yi to invite us to sing a song.

After all, even Zhou Jianhui doesn’t know which route is suitable for Sun Yanzi in the international market, so he can only try and error as he goes along.

"Then I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that day." Zhou Yi pretended to sigh, and his tone of doomed failure made Sun Yanzi's teeth itch. While the two were bickering, Zhou Yi's cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting their verbal battle -

"Ayi, there is a Japanese who wants to talk to you."

On the other end of the phone, the notification from Qian Jiang made Zhou Yi stunned: "Japanese?"

Hearing that Zhou Yi was talking about serious matters, Sun Yanzi stopped playing around, gestured to the man without saying a word, and walked out of his lounge barefoot with his sandals in hand.

"Yes, he is a producer from Fuji TV in Japan, his name is Ken Tsuchiya."

Qian Jiang looked at the information in his hand and introduced the other party's identity: "You are also aware of your current international fame, especially in Japan.

“It’s no exaggeration to say that even though you haven’t been to Japan yet, your fame in Japan is even greater than that in the United States.

"In this case, Mr. Tsuchiya Ken has set his sights on you and wants to get one of your songs to adapt and use as the theme song for his new TV series."

This kind of thing of riding on the popularity of others is common all over the world.

Japan's Fuji TV just happened to catch up with the time when Zhou Yi made a breakthrough in the entire American music scene, and everyone was trying to take advantage of this wave of popularity.

"Which of my English songs does he want to buy the license for? Want to bargain?"

For well-known reasons, the copyright of Zhou Yi's English songs is much more valuable than his Chinese songs, and even the licensing fees are not at the same level.

Generally speaking, to purchase copyrights, you only need to notify Warner. If you go directly to Zhou Yi himself, it basically means that the price is too high to be acceptable, and you want to bargain.

"No, no, no, he bought the rights to adapt a Chinese song."

Qian Jiang shook his head: "The reason why we want to find you is that we want to pay you extra money to cooperate with them in publicity.

“Because he has prepared a gimmick. After buying your song, he will look for Japan’s legendary singer Miyuki Nakajima to write the lyrics and sing it. He wants to create a gimmick of cooperation for you to promote this drama.

"So, he needs the two of you to take some promotional photos together."

"…Misayuki Nakajima?"

Zhou Yi was slightly surprised when he heard the name. The next second, the name of a song immediately popped up in his mind...

"Yes, it's the song 'The First Dream' that you wrote for Zhang Shaohan to sing before."

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

"Hai! Ariado dog Zaimas!"

Ken Tsuchiya office, Fuji TV, Tokyo, Japan.

As a well-known producer of Fuji TV, at this moment he was very grateful and spoke honorifics to the person on the phone.

Warner is a good person, and Zhou Yisang is an even better person!

Not only was she willing to answer his calls in person, she was also willing to cooperate with him in taking five promotional photos and attending a press conference, and the fee was "only" three million US dollars.

Never talk about Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru again, they are nothing but rotten fish and shrimp, Zhou Yisama is the real god!

“But, five promotional photos for a press conference, isn’t this price a bit expensive?” The co-worker hesitated.

This is basically equivalent to Zhou Yi pocketing three million US dollars just by showing up in Japan. It's not even possible to rob money that fast.

"Who do you want to invite? Do you think you can invite Michael Jackson with this money?"

Tsuchiya Ken asked back, leaving his companion speechless.

Although due to his seniority, Zhou Yi, who debuted for three years, has not been able to match the status of the King of Pop Michael, but that is in the international arena.

In Japan, Zhou Yi's reputation is much better than Michael Jackson's.

The most important point is that although Zhou Yi has an arrogant personality, he does not act like a big shot.

Fuji TV had previously invited Mariah Carey, the most popular American pop star in the Japanese market, but her series of actions, which were even more arrogant than Ayumi Hamasaki, almost suffocated people.

Not to mention the team of assistants who follow closely behind, the various stringent check-in requirements and shooting requirements alone are enough to drive people crazy.

Relatively speaking, Zhou Yi's appearance fee of 3 million US dollars is already the most conscientious one.

"Oh, by the way, you should pay more attention to Kuraki Mai's new album. In a few months, a female singer who will work with her will come to Japan from Warner Bros. We should reserve a few promotional spots for her on our TV station's flagship program."
