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

Chapter 557 You Will Be Attacked by Everyone
"Oh my god, don't try these messed up things next time. If something goes wrong, not to mention your extreme fans, Zhou Jianhui will skin me alive."

Qian Jiang, who rushed over after hearing the news, wiped his sweat and even spoke in dialect which he hadn't spoken for more than 20 years. It was obvious that he was really scared.

After disinfecting and bandaging to prevent infection, Zhou Yi stood up from the chair and jumped twice, feeling good. He grinned and said, "I didn't realize your ancestors were from Henan, Lao Qian."

Although he jumped out of the car quickly, Zhou Yi's right leg still suffered some scratches.

Although it's not serious, it's not the kind of thing that will heal automatically if the doctor comes a little later. The scratches caused by the car body tilting are still quite impressive.

Qian Jiang, with sweat on his forehead, rolled his eyes unhappily: "My mother was from Henan."

In order to avoid gossip, Qian Jiang immediately asked Warner staff to tell the crew not to spread the news as soon as he learned the news. That is to say, nothing happened. Otherwise, he dared not imagine how the media opinion would explode.

Although now that he arrived at the scene he realized that he might have been exaggerating.

The crew was all happy, and everything returned to calm after a brief panic. Jiang Wen, Tang Yan, and Yang Mi, who were almost hit, even had the energy to tease and imitate Zhou Yi's confident demeanor and movements before driving, which showed that they didn't take it seriously.

"can not tell."

"If you can see it, there must be something fishy going on."

After his heart, which had been hanging in his throat, was put back into his stomach, Qian Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Be more careful in the future, or else the National Symphony Orchestra will have a free time and you will end up in the hospital again."

According to Zhou Yi's request, he specially contacted the National Symphony Orchestra for the arrangement of the song "In the Blink of an Eye". After a long period of negotiation and comparison of schedules, the two sides finally reached an agreement and cleared out their schedules to participate in this song.

To some extent, it is because Zhou Yi has great reputation and influence.

After all, the national symphony orchestras of this era have not had any conflicts. Their schedules are fully booked and their strength is very strong, which is incomparable to those after the 10s.

"Also, Huayi and Taihe Media contacted me and wanted to invite you to write the theme song for A World Without Thieves?"

As the two largest investors of "A World Without Thieves", it was quite surprising that they came to Qian Jiang to invite him to compose the theme song.

"A World Without Thieves" only had a total investment of 30 million RMB, and it's not a big-scale, large-scale production like Hero. Why ask Zhou Yi to sing the theme song?
Are you out of your mind?

Putting aside other things, according to current international practice, can you afford the US$200 million music fee for "A World Without Thieves" that Zhou Yi, who became famous in the film soundtrack industry with "Pirates of the Caribbean", paid for the soundtrack?

Even if we give her a discount because she is a Chinese and has the resources to exchange with the heroine, like when Li Lianjie starred in "Hero", the price would have to be at least 120 million US dollars, which is more than 980 million RMB.

But in fact, when Qian Jiang saw the first quotation, he felt like he had seen a ghost and could hardly believe it.

Because the other party really quoted this price.

One third of the total investment?

What's going on?

"Ah, Feng Xiaogang did talk to me before, but I didn't agree right away. What did they say?"

After moving around a few times and feeling fine, Zhou Yi took the towel and wiped his hands. The medical staff of the crew consciously left the dressing room, leaving the space for the two of them.

"Taihe and Huayi each contributed 60 US dollars, a total of 120 million US dollars."

Qian Jiang shook his head. “Although I know that this price is considered exceptional sincerity and treatment in China, in fact, it still does not match your worth in the field of film music.”

It would be fine if he had not proven himself in the field of music composition before, but Zhou Yi has proven himself.

Although the plot of "Hero" has received mixed reviews, it is undeniable that "The Elephant King" did make great efforts in the early promotion, which directly raised the early box office data and exceeded expectations;

The subsequent "Pirates of the Caribbean" was even more heavyweight and a true global hit. The theme song "He's a Pirate" resounded throughout the world and became Zhou Yi's global hit in the field of film soundtracks.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is also a work that truly elevated Zhou Yi's status in the field of film and television music. Disney's top management began to change, and several people who insisted on inviting Zhou Yi to write the theme song completely won the battle and took over -

Robert Iger, a senior Disney executive who had publicly expressed his gratitude and optimism about Zhou Yi, has taken a further step forward with the impressive performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and is expected to become the helmsman of the behemoth Walt Disney.

In other words, Zhou Yi is not currently composing a complete film soundtrack and only writes theme songs (promotional songs). Otherwise, if he did a full set like Hans Zimmer, and received 400 million US dollars plus royalties, no one would have any objection.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yi stroked his chin and thought for a moment before asking.

Qian Jiang raised a finger and said, "My psychological price is 150 million US dollars, plus royalties." Although the subsequent royalties in the domestic film and television industry are almost zero, it is at least an attitude. I just don't know if they will agree.

"Considering that the other party is sincere in wanting to make friends with you and the current domestic situation, you can lower the price by 10 yuan. I don't recommend lowering it further because it will damage your image. A leading lady like Fan Bingbin is not enough to make you lower your status to help."

Why did Cheng Long never ask Zhou Yi to write songs for "New Police Story"? It was because he had worked in Hollywood and was well aware of Zhou Yi's current status in music composition.

If he really asked for 140 million US dollars plus royalties, Zhou Yi would definitely give it to him, but this would waste Zhou Yi's past favors to him and it was not worth it. He would rather invite Zhou Yi to make a cameo appearance at the end of the film at this discounted friendship price, which would bring greater profits to the film.

After all, you only have one chance.

As for the fact that the total investment of "A World Without Thieves" was only 30 million RMB, that has nothing to do with Qian Jiang.

"Small investment" requires "small investment" awareness. It's not like you can get Zhou Yi to help you by playing the victim. You, Huayi Taihe, have no relationship with Zhou Yi, so it's very considerate of him to give you a discount. You should know that the heroine of Fatty Fan actually got goodwill in exchange for the unlucky Song Ke. "Okay, leave it to you. I'm at ease."

Zhou Yi nodded, and Qian Jiang felt relieved immediately.

He was really afraid that Zhou Yi would get carried away and be confused by Feng Xiaogang's sugar-coated bullets. Now it seems that he is still quite clear-headed.

After chatting about some work details, Zhou Yi pushed open the door of the dressing room and walked out. Outside, Jiang Wen, who couldn't help but feel itchy, was still looking at the filmed footage. Director Ning Hao stood by like a student, motionless.

Very well-behaved.

"Mr. Jiang, you want to seize power again, right?"

"Get lost, I just want to see what you filmed."

Jiang Wen calmly put down the "work" at hand and glanced at his legs: "What? Is the leg connected?"

"Go aside."

Zhou Yi lifted his foot and placed it on the table beside him: "When has my leg ever been in trouble? I've already said that my agent is making a fuss."

Jiang Wen chuckled, waved his hands, stood up from the director's seat, walked in front of him, and said something with a hint of meaning: "Boy, I don't know whether you are making a fuss or not."

Out of curiosity that made him prepare all these, Zhou Yi also showed him the album plan.

Out of sensitivity, he immediately became interested in the song title "In the Blink of an Eye", and became suspicious after reading the lyrics.

Although Zhou Yi tried to deny that his inspiration came from Su Wu herding sheep, who was he? They were all thousand-year-old foxes, what was the point of playing Liao Zhai? Your Su Wu herding sheep blocked the moonlight for ten years, right?

Su Wu was a sheep herder and stayed in Han for 19 years before returning!
Combined with the other songs on Side A of the album, he almost instantly guessed who the child was remembering.

Unless Zhou Yi said that he was illiterate and could not calculate the time.

"What did you know? How come I don't know anything?" Zhou Yi asked with a wicked smile.

"You will be attacked by everyone. The public opinion environment has not been very good in recent years."

Jiang Wen lifted his butt and sat on the table. He waved his hands and looked at the half-grown child in front of him with a teasing look in his eyes.

For him, who is 40 years old this year, the 22-year-old Zhou Yi is really just a half-grown child.

"Ring ring ring!"

The two were looking at each other when a quick phone ring interrupted their conversation.

"If you have the guts, just criticize me and make me quit the entertainment industry. I don't care. If they don't have the guts, they can just watch."

Zhou Yi shrugged noncommittally, lowered his eyes to glance at the caller ID, pressed the answer button and turned away.

"Hello? Yanzi? What do you want from me?"

Zhou Yi walked out of the director's studio with one hand in his pocket. As he basked in the sunlight, his shadow became increasingly slender.

Jiang Wen narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched him leave. After a while, he turned his head to look at the camera with a sneer and shook his head again.

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

"What? More money?"

Huayi, Chairman's Office.

The two Wangs and the leaders of Taihe Media all frowned after hearing Warner's reply.

"140 million dollars at most. 150 million is impossible."

After a while, the top management of Taihe gave their bottom line, which directly attracted the opposition of Huayi——

"What a joke! 140 million US dollars is more than 720 million RMB when converted into RMB. Zhang Yimou's Hero, with such a huge investment, only cost 3 million RMB. How ridiculous? He wants one-third of the total budget for a Chinese song?"

"That's because the guy named Han went to talk to Zhou Yi in person and owed Zhou Yi a favor for it. Why don't you go look for him too? He's just one of the nominal producers anyway."

A word from the senior management of Taihe directly choked the two Mr. Wangs of Huayi into silence.

"This 10 million is really just a song for Zhou Yi. No, it's not even half of Zhou Yi's song. Fan Bingbin made more than 23 million just from ringback tone revenue from that song. Do you have a temper?"

The two kings: “…”

"Song Ke is in jail, and he still has some money in the company. Just consider it as an apology, and let Song Ke suffer..."
