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

Chapter 554: The Road is Wrong, Zhou Lang Gu

In 2003, in the major authoritative rankings of Taiwan's music scene, even though a number of top musicians have released new albums and the replacement of the old with the new has been quietly completed, the real dominance is still the man who has not released an album yet.

In almost all medium and large radio charts and music charts, the number one song is always "Super Star" written by Zhou Yi, and no one can shake its throne.

In the chart data compiled by Taiwan's most famous music radio station, Taipei Voice, the combination of Sun Yanzi, Hsiao Yaxuan, Zhang Shaohan + Zhou Yi directly dominated the entire Taiwanese music scene for more than half a year - even the aggressive Jay Chou was unable to successfully challenge them, and "Sunny Day" could only come in second.

After the release of Sun Yanzi's new album, the popularity of "Meeting" combined with his popularity directly squeezed Jay Chou out of the second place and made him fall to third place.

Super Star

"meet"

"sunny"

"Spring Mud"

"Sunny Day on July 7th"

"Small dimples"

The Lonely Season

"You will marry me today"

"Li Bai"

"fairy tale"

On the authoritative list of Taipei Voice, the first fifteen songs are by Zhou Yi, and the other five are by Jay Chou, Sun Yanzi, Hsu Hui-hsin, Yu Chengqing, and Tao Zhe.

Originally, this situation would not have occurred. After all, no matter how strong Zhou Yi is, he cannot perform his songs live, not to mention that these are all last year's songs. However, at the end of December last year, a hit drama that Zhou Yi could use to show his face was first broadcast in Taiwan - "Sex and the City".

The hot ratings of "Sex and the City" in Taiwan boosted Zhou Yi's popularity again. "Li Bai", which was obviously inferior to the other songs in quality, squeezed into the top ten.

In this land where idol drama dynasties were born, after the first round of broadcasting, "Sex and the City" began to be frequently rebroadcast this year. Warner Bros., taking advantage of every opportunity, tried its best to promote Zhouyi peripheral products, such as photo albums and posters.

After his historic breakthrough at the Grammy Awards, Zhou Yi also swept the Golden Melody Awards, which were delayed this year. This year, he once again achieved the terrifying legend of dominating the Taiwanese music charts even though he is not in Taiwan.

Sun Derong, who was almost choked by Su Limei, felt powerless for the first time, as if he drew his sword and looked around, feeling confused.

He is not in Taiwan and has not released an album yet, but it has become so serious. He dare not imagine whether this chart will become a battlefield commanded by Zhou Yi alone after Zhou Yi releases a new album.

"Times have changed. I advise you to change your mindset and not go against Zhou Yi. At least don't go against the current Zhou Yi."

Su Limei, who also saw the latest ranking data released by Taipei Voice, was not surprised at all: "Since Zhou Yi is willing to protect her, then I will definitely choose her as the heroine of the new drama."

She is also hoping that her idol drama will be introduced to the mainland.

If Sun Derong still insists on his own way, don't blame her for turning against him.

"Damn it, are we just going to let him go on like this? Is there no one who can teach him a lesson?"

"The last singer in Taiwan who dared to write Zhou Yi into his songs was nicknamed Pet Dog or something. In a song called "Korean Wave Attack", he not only satirized Zhou Yi, but also insulted Utada Hikaru and Li Wen, offending three people at once.

"The consequence is that the fans of Utada Hikaru and Li Wen didn't criticize him enough, but Zhou Yi's fans criticized him so much that he became depressed. He went to see a doctor right after he started the discharge process. There was even an offline group of Zhou Yi's fans who put a sack on him and beat him up. His bright future was ruined, and he can't make a comeback for the time being."

Su Limei sneered and said disdainfully: "If you also want to be put in a sack and beaten, you can try it yourself."

"..."

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

"Just try it!"

In the imperial capital, Wang Baoqiang, with a trembling voice, forced himself to calm down and spoke loudly.

"Okay, then you get ready. I'll come over later and take you to meet people and audition."

After the call was hung up, Wang Baoqiang, who could no longer contain his excitement, jumped up from the bed and punched the air several times.

Although "Blind Shaft" did not make him a lot of money, it did broaden his network, helped him win the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer, and entered the vision of many big directors in the circle.

No, the opportunity has come.

After being recommended by people in the industry, he came into Feng Xiaogang's sight with his outstanding performance in "Blind Shaft". He was told that there was a script they could collaborate on. However, when he went to meet the person, he couldn't control his emotions and drank red wine instead of boiled water when he toasted.

Wang Baoqiang knew that he had messed up the first meeting and thought that he had no chance. But today he received a notice asking him to go to the crew for an audition.

Although there is competition, at least there is still a chance.

"Come on, you can do it."

After dressing himself up, Wang Baoqiang joined the preparatory crew of "A World Without Thieves" under the leadership of the assistant director.

It was also here that he first saw from a distance those big names that he had only seen in his dreams before - Feng Xiaogang, Liu Dehua, Fan Bingbin, Li Bingbin, Zhou Yi...

Ok?
Wait a moment--

Zhouyi???

Wang Baoqiang was stunned as he recalled the days when he heard "Floating to the North".

"So, why did you call me over? Isn't this just a formality? And audition? Aren't you kidding yourself?"

In the separate dressing room, Zhou Yi, who obviously hadn't gotten enough sleep, yawned lazily, glanced at Fatty Fan who was looking at himself in the mirror, looking at his ordinary makeup, and complained helplessly: "I'm busy, okay?"

"Are you busy buying a wedding dress for that Taiwanese female star?" Fatty Fan rolled his eyes. "If I don't pull you over here, I'm afraid Huayi and the others will think that I've fallen out of favor with you."

After Chen Qiaoen's news was widely reported by the media, she immediately sensed a sense of crisis - even stronger than the sense of crisis that Li Bingbin gave her at the premiere of "Turn Left, Turn Right".

The almost identical context instantly woke her up after she had been immersed in Zhou Yi's gentle embrace for a long time.

She has a clear understanding of herself and Zhou Yi. Since she can't stop him, she will try her best to improve her reputation, power and influence in the circle within a limited time. In this way, if Zhou Yi gets tired of playing, she won't lose everything in an instant.

"To be honest, she's not as pretty as you." Zhou Yi, who was lying on the rocking chair, crossed his fingers and put them behind his head. Hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle: "You have to have confidence in yourself."

"Good looks have a shelf life, I want to be a woman with substance."

Fan Xiaopang, who was absolutely confident in his appearance in private, vowed: "You are a playboy, I can't trust you. I might be abandoned by you one day. I have to use your skin to set up a few companies as soon as possible to support myself..."

Only when facing Zhou Yi would Fan Xiaopang reveal his already formed ambition without any concealment.

Looking at the few rumored partners that Zhou Yi has been around for a long time, each of them has his or her own career.

It's impossible to beat Zhou Yi, but there's still hope to beat the other women around Zhou Yi——

As long as she defeats everyone else, she will be the final winner!
Fan Xiaopang felt good and thought his future was bright.

"Okay, okay, then I'll call you Mr. Fan in advance."

Zhou Yi turned over lazily and said, "Mr. Fan, when you become successful in the future, don't forget to help me."

The two were arguing when someone knocked on the dressing room door.

The appearance of Liu Dehua made Fan Xiaopang, who was just looking forward to the future with Zhou Yi with a joking smile, stand up immediately and greet him politely: "Brother Hua."

"Long time no see, Bingbin."

Liu Dehua smiled kindly, and then cast his eyes on Zhou Yi who also stood up from the rocking chair and greeted him: "I heard from the crew that you are here too, Ayi, I didn't expect it to be true."

"Hey, she pulled me here. She said she was too nervous about the audition and asked me to come over to help her build up her courage."

After the handshake, Zhou Yi regained his composure and tilted his head towards the well-behaved Fan Xiaopang, jokingly saying, "I was still filming the MV, and she drafted me into service."

Liu Dehua, who had been through a lot and was a very experienced person, did not act like a senior at all when facing Zhou Yi. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards the audition room. Fan Xiaopang followed Zhou Yi closely, listening to their exchange on the ways of the world.

Feng Xiaogang, who was chatting with his wife, saw someone coming and immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Speak of the devil, here comes the devil. Welcome, welcome, Zhou Yi."

Knowing that Zhou Yi was coming today, he gave him a warm welcome -

Because he wanted to invite a singer.

Regardless of whether it is a theme song, an interlude, or a promotional song, he is unwilling to miss this hard-won opportunity to connect with Zhou Yi.

He was really envious of Zhang Yimou’s marketing campaign for the promotional song for “Hero”.

However, knowing that it was difficult to invite Zhou Yi to sing, he naturally had to build a good relationship with him first before saying anything else.

"I heard that you will go to Shanghai to guest star in Kung Fu later?"

"What's the point of my guest appearance? That's all fake news. I was there to shoot a music video, but my schedule was so full that I couldn't get away."

"..."

With Feng Xiaogang's deliberate flattery, the atmosphere of the chat seemed extremely harmonious. The former even urged Zhou Yi to stay and watch the audition together, and have a simple meal together after the audition, so that he could show his hospitality.

It was under this circumstance that Wang Baoqiang walked into the audition room and performed his audition.

Zhou Yi looked a little surprised when he suddenly saw the only person with a clean golden body in the future domestic entertainment industry.

"what happened?"

Noticing the change in Zhou Yiwei's expression, Fatty Fan felt a little strange. He leaned close to his ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you know this person?"

Yes, I know him very well.

The only man in the domestic entertainment industry whose agent and wife together cannot find a single black spot on him, a top star with an image so positive that it is a little unbelievable; an absolute king of character, a model taxpayer who never forgets to pay taxes before asking friends for money to fight a lawsuit.

This resume is too hard.

Especially when it is set against a bunch of weirdos in the entertainment industry, its value is fully maximized.

"No, I just think his acting is quite impressive."

Zhou Yi shook his head slightly and responded casually.

This is not going against one's conscience.

In terms of acting talent, Wang Baoqiang is obviously a type of person who was gifted by God. He can play both good and evil roles.

Feng Xiaogang, who obviously heard Zhou Yi's words, was just about to give some comments to Wang Baoqiang, who was waiting for comments after his performance. When he heard these words, he immediately laughed out loud: "Not bad, Baoqiang. You are the first person today that Zhou Yi couldn't help but praise out loud."

"Thank you very much!"

Although he didn't know why Zhou Yi appeared here, it didn't stop Wang Baoqiang from getting excited when he heard this.

"Let me introduce you. This is Wang Baoqiang, who just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer. Baoqiang, this is Zhou Yi. I think you should know him."

"Yes, of course I know him. I've learned Mr. Zhou's songs before. The song 'Floating to the North' is so amazing. Almost everyone in our group of extras can sing it. We sing it every day."

Ever since Zhou Yi started speaking, Wang Baoqiang felt that Feng Xiaogang's attitude towards him had become more friendly, so he nodded vigorously.

Although the tape he listened to at that time was given to him by someone in the crew who no longer wanted it because it was broken and there were two songs on it that could not be listened to, he still learned the two songs "Jiangnan" and "Floating to the North" from the tape.

"Since even Zhou Yi is impressed by you, I won't keep you in suspense. Go back and prepare."

Feng Xiaogang, who was originally somewhat inclined to let Wang Baoqiang play the role of "Shagen", simply sold Zhou Yi a face in front of everyone, causing some people at the scene to be shocked.

What the hell!

With just one sentence from Zhou Yi, this rustic Wang Baoqiang "changed his fate"?
