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

Chapter 527: The Face Fruit Ability User

"What did you say?"

Imperial capital, Li Bingbin’s home.

Li Bingbin, who had just started to apply a facial mask after taking a shower, looked up at her sister who came to find her——

Because of the mask, she couldn't make a big expression at the moment, but this didn't stop her from saying this in an unprecedented questioning tone: "Why is she a maid? If this works, wouldn't I be inferior to her for no reason?"

She had just recently secured the role of a "thief woman" in "A World Without Thieves" at the suggestion of her sister, and was feeling smug. After all, this movie was Huayi's most important project next year, and the male lead was decided to be the latter between Zhang Xueyou and Liu Dehua;
The aging Ge Youdu took a back seat in this film and became a supporting actor.

Others like Feng Yuanzheng from the National People's Art Theatre and Fan Wei, who has become a household name thanks to the Spring Festival Gala, were all invited to play guest roles.

Although she is currently the top actress in Huayi, considering the configuration of this movie, she is not unacceptable to be able to get a supporting actress -

But, it would be even better if it was a female lead.

She knew that the position of the female lead had always been undecided, so even though she knew that her supporting role position was secured, Li Bingbin couldn't help but fantasize about the position of the female lead, because this would significantly enhance her status.

Originally, the female lead was rumored to be the Taiwanese veteran Liu Ruoyin.

Under the unspoken rule that people in Hong Kong and Taiwan are automatically superior, even though Liu Ruoyin hasn't been doing well recently, she doesn't dare to complain.

But now, what did she hear?
Fan Bingbin, who used to pick up her leftovers, is also competing for the female lead role, and the company even said they would consider it and didn't reject it outright???
Looking back, it was she who refused "Young Justice Bao 2" due to schedule issues, which gave Fan Bingbin the opportunity to star in the sequel.

Now you tell me that this servant girl has ascended to the position of the heroine who is superior to her in just a few years?
Then what has she been working so hard for all these years?

She is already 30 years old this year, which is the end of an actress' golden age. How many more years can she continue to act?

You, Fan Bingbin, are only 22 years old this year. What makes you think you can do that?
She has played the leading female roles in three consecutive films, "Young Justice Bao 2", "The Lion Roars" and "The Empress of China". It is said that there is another project in Hong Kong that will give her the leading female role. Now she is competing for the leading female role in "A World Without Thieves". Why is she so lucky?
“It’s because of Zhou Yi.”

Although he is not his sister's agent yet, Li Xing, who is already learning to take over, still found out the reason through his own channels.

Li Bingbin was even more confused.

Yes, Zhou Yi is awesome, but no matter how long his arms are or how big his influence is, that is only a matter of the music industry, right? How can he interfere with the casting of Huayi Films?
Could it be that Huayi is planning to open a music company with him?
Or is Zhou Yi going to kick Andy Lau out as the male lead?

"Sister, you may not know that TV dramas in Taiwan are almost stuck, and it is said that movies are also showing this sign..."

Li Xing briefly described the relevant events, and then mentioned the name of a company - Taihe Media.

On November 2002, 11, Warner (China) Records issued an official announcement: Song Ke, the company's deputy general manager and music director, has been relieved of all his duties and his equity has been recovered due to violation of relevant company agreements.

At the same time, Warner (China) Records will formally sue Song Ke and Taihe Media behind him for infringement of trade secrets.

To this day, the lawsuit is still going on, although Taihe Media has always been the passive party and has lost several lawsuits.

The biggest reason why ordinary people cannot afford to sue big companies is this - they cannot afford to delay or waste time, and it takes too much time and energy.

"Originally, Taihe Media could have continued to drag it out, but the problem now is that after this year's Golden Melody Awards incident and the blockade of Qiong Yao dramas and idol dramas, the people behind Taihe Media have sensed the change in Zhou Yi's status and are planning to seek reconciliation privately..."

It is very necessary for Taihe Media to prepare for a rainy day.

Their investments are spread across the domestic entertainment industry. If they were to receive the same treatment, the consequences would be disastrous - you have to know that Taihe Media has invested in quite a few companies with great momentum.

For example, one of the investors of "A World Without Thieves" is Taihe Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd.

"...So, Taihe Film and Television intends to use this heroine to express its sincerity of reconciliation to Zhou Yi?" Li Bingbin was confused.

Li Xing nodded: "Originally they couldn't find what Zhou Yi needed, because this man has no weaknesses at all. He can produce and sell his own music, eliminating the possibility of being strangled by anyone, and there is no exchange of interests in music.

“After all, no one in the country—no, I should say, in the world—has written songs better than him.

“He himself has no need to act or endorse anything. Even though he has fewer endorsements now, they are all priced higher than the last. His albums are the most profitable in the country, and the bulk of the money is in US dollars. Therefore, Taihe Media has been unable to find a point of reconciliation.

"Until Chen Shufen stepped in and started competing for Fan Bingbin's leading role in A World Without Thieves..."

Basically everyone in the circle knows the story of how Zhou Yi and Fan Bingbin, two people of the same age, met and got to know each other. It was only after relying on Zhou Yi that Fan Bingbin was able to leave Qiong Yao's company at a low price, and since then she began to embark on the road to success.

"They are going to follow the example of Yinghuang, which allocated some of its resources to Fan Bingbin in order to thank Zhou Yi, thus winning reconciliation with Zhou Yi.

"If Yinghuang can do it, then they can do it too."

The importance of the male protagonist meant that they dared not give it to Zhou Yi, but it didn’t matter for the female protagonist.

To put it bluntly, the role of the heroine in most of the current film and television dramas is not the mainstay.

Anyway, Zhou Yi himself doesn't act, so learning Yinghuang directly giving it to the heroine can not only reflect his sincerity in reconciliation, but also show his generosity and perfection.

Li Bingbin: “…”

Damn it, how could Zhou Yi be so proud?
She admitted that she was jealous. It has only been a few years, how did Zhou Yi grow up to be a big shot? Is this the charm of the music industry...

"As long as they stand in the right place, even a pig can fly, not to mention that Zhou Yi is not a pig."

Taihe Media Building, internal conference room.

The board members who called Song Ke over advised the man who was kicked out by Zhou Jianhui and Zhou Yi because of the ringtone: "Reconciliation with Zhou Yi is the general trend and the overall situation. Song Ke, you have to consider the overall situation."

"..."

Damn me!
The overall situation is to sacrifice me?!

Song Ke felt very depressed.

I feel unwilling, but there is nothing I can do.

He felt something was wrong when he received the news, but he didn't expect that this day would finally come.

No one could have imagined that Zhou Yi's foreign exports would be so impressive. He even secretly changed his nationality or switched to Hong Kong citizenship. With his good family background, he had no ability to resist at all.

No matter what kind of conspiracy he played, no matter how many people he united with, it was useless, Zhou Yi always stood there -

He doesn't even need to take any action himself, the grand trend behind him will automatically crush everything.

This situation is the most desperate because the trend is inevitable.

It just so happens that in the entire mainland entertainment industry, Zhou Yi is the only one who has the ability to reach this point and this vantage point due to various coincidences, and there is no one to restrain him.

Damn Xie Tingfeng, why don’t you drive your fucking Ferrari!

Why don't you hit the pig!

unlucky!

Song Ke lowered his head: "Okay, I admit it, let's find Zhou Yi to reconcile."

"Don't worry, you will still retain your shares in Taihe Music, and we will ask a lawyer to make the best possible sentence reduction for you. And with your own good performance, when you come out in a few years, you will still be the chairman of Taihe Music, and Taihe's resources will be open to you.

"In a few years, the music market should be big enough for you to make money. Ringtones are very popular now. Fan Bingbin made millions from them in less than half a year."

The directors were very pleased and looked forward to his future financial prospects.

Not long after, Zhou Yi, who had just finished Sun Yanzi's press conference, received a call from Qian Jiang announcing the good news.

"Ayi, someone from Taihe Media wants to invite you to dinner."

"Why are you still making an appointment? You'll harass me as soon as I return to China, right?"

"No, no, no, this time I'm really giving you face." Qian Jiang described the other party's bowing and willingness to reconcile...

Sun Yanzi, who had also finished the press conference, came to the man's side in a bounding manner. Seeing his surprised expression, he couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his butt: "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it?"

"I'm thinking about how to use my face to block you." Zhou Yi glanced at her and rubbed his butt: "Do you know that you can't touch a tiger's butt?"

"Yo ho."

Sun Yanzi pretended to be surprised, then raised his hand and clapped.

"Ok?"

"whee."

The woman turned and ran away—

Unfortunately, he didn't run away and was carried away by Zhou Yi.

"Ah?! Hey! No! I'm a big star after all! Give me some face!"

Sun Yanzi waved his limbs and bared his teeth and claws: "The staff is watching! Don't I have any dignity?!"

The Warner employees, who were used to it, turned a deaf ear to it and pretended to be blind.

"Judy! Hey! Help me!"

Sun Yanzi saw the makeup artist she knew well in the company and waved to her.

The blonde woman who had just been staring at this side to watch the fun blinked, then immediately put her hands in her pockets and frowned, as if she was thinking about some difficult mathematical problem, and from time to time she was muttering some wonderful remarks such as "Goldbach's conjecture" and "Under what circumstances will 1+1 equal 3" and so on.
