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

Chapter 559: Big Stars Should Be Like This
"This one took twenty years of hard work. How do you think? Are you convinced?"

Zhou Yi's serious look made the reporters from Shanghai TV laugh out loud. Sun Yanzi, who was using the microphone as a sword to poke him, continued to say, "Let me remind you, you are only 22 years old this year. You started practicing martial arts when you were two, right?"

"How do you know I have been a genius since I was a child?"

"I'm giving you a way out, why don't you do it?"

Sun Yanzi, beaming with joy, clenched his fist and punched the man's chest twice: "Your posture is totally unmatched with the Huo family's boxing. Anyone who sees it will know that you are talking nonsense."

After that, she bent down and approached the camera lens and said jokingly, "Descendants of Master Huo, if you see this news, please don't be angry. Zhou Yi has always been so unreliable. He has absolutely no disrespect for Master Huo."

No matter whether there will be descendants of Huo Yuanjia watching, it’s always a good idea to get the vaccine first.

Chen Zhen is a fictional character, but Huo Yuanjia is not.

She is no longer the green freshman who just entered the entertainment industry!

She is very clever now!
However, compared to Sun Yanzi's witty self-protection, the reporters were obviously more interested in the information revealed by Zhou Yi's words -

"Zhou Yi, do you mean you are preparing to make a martial arts film? One about Huo Yuanjia? Or Chen Zhen? Or is this a song from your new album?"

"what?"

Zhou Yi glanced at the female reporter who asked the question in surprise: "Of course not, why would you think that? Don't try to interpret my words. I really don't have that much meaning. I'm just doing this for fun. Don't you need this kind of news for your interviews?"

reporter:"……"

That's the truth, but why does it sound so strange coming from a big star like you?

"Zhou Yi, there are rumors that the MV for your new album will be shot overseas, and the heroine will be Li Bingbin. Is this true?"

“It is indeed true. This will be the album with the highest MV cost since my debut, because we will go to many countries abroad. For example, Russia, the Netherlands, the United States, Iraq and other countries to shoot.

"Sister Bingbin is indeed the heroine of one of the MVs..."

Ok?
Iraq?
No, buddy, that place is in ruins, what else is there for you to shoot?
The two reporters looked at each other, bewildered, with millions of question marks popping up in their minds at once -

The next second, a thought immediately popped into their minds: Are you going to start a war too?

No. Have you all, the new generation leaders of the music industry, made an appointment?

The reporter was a little confused, but after thinking about it, it was true.

I won’t talk about Tao Zhe. As an old man pretending to be a newcomer, he soared to fame with the big concepts of anti-war, society and thinking in his album “Black Tangerine” last year, and became a god. He established his status in the industry in one fell swoop, which is unshakable.
This year, Wang Lihong's new album "Incredible" which has already started to be promoted also has a song called "You and Me" that relies on the concept of world peace in its promotion. Although the album has not been officially released yet, judging from the current publicity and word of mouth, this album also has the momentum to be the best in Wang Lihong's career.

There is no need to say more about Jay Chou. Although he personally said that the song "The Last Battle" from last year's album was about opposing violence and brotherhood, it also portrayed the cruelty of war. This song also raised the level of Jay Chou's album "Octave Space" from last year.

According to the latest news, Jay Chou's next album will also focus on anti-war concepts.

Zhou Yi's "Lianshan" last year was only based on social environment and family education. Although "In the Name of the Father" has been highly praised, it can also be said that among the current group of top singers of the new generation, Zhou Yi is the only one who does not have songs with related concepts.

Even Singaporean singer Lin Junjie, who just debuted this year, has a concept song related to war in his first album "Music Walker"...

It is understandable that he wants to make up for this deficiency.

However, if they are both working on the same general concept, then whoever loses will be embarrassed.

It’s okay for Zhe Tao and Jay Chou, as they staggered, but Wang Lihong’s new album “Unbelievable” this year just happened to collide with Zhou Yi’s “Return to the Tibetan”…

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

"I have confidence."

Taiwan, Sony Music Building, lounge.

Facing his agent's concerns, Wang Lihong, who had come out of his low mood, shook his head and regained his confidence: "How can you surrender before you even start fighting? Zhou Yi is very strong, but I am not weak either. If I just focus on the Chinese album, I don't think I will be left too far behind."

This album "Incredible" is the one he has been working on for two years.

He released a compilation album in 02, and then failed in Japan. After returning to Taiwan, he poured all his efforts into this album, which is why he named the album "Incredible" -

After finishing it, even he himself felt amazed and unbelievable. Whether it was the overall concept stacking or the arrangement of song elements, this album was a new peak in his career so far.

He felt he could do it.

Rating 9.8! A true professional musician should dare to make judgments and open the champagne!

"Okay, since you have this confidence, that's good. By the way, stay away from Li Wen recently. The conflict between her and the company has reached an irreconcilable point. The company has now decided to promote the newcomer Cai Yilin."

Before leaving, the agent reminded Wang Lihong of the changes within the company. Due to the great success of Zhou Yi, Li Wen was eager to venture into the United States again, and contacted Sony headquarters again, intending to enter the US market again - which made Sony Taiwan very unhappy.

It was already a humane move for them to accept Li Wen after his failed comeback. Now you have released an album and want to release it again, and you have to sign a new contract with Sony America. What does that mean?
Do you treat this place as a public toilet? You can come and go as you please?

Cai Yilin, who became popular with her new album at the beginning of this year, rose directly to the top and received trial treatment as the top female star in the company for her next album.

After his agent went to arrange a variety show for him, Wang Lihong, who was sitting alone in the lounge, took a look at the Zhouyi News broadcast on TV, thought about it, and called Tao Zhe who was still in the United States.

"It is reported that Zhou Yi, who finished shooting the MV and visiting Sun Yanzi at the Chedun Film and Television Base in Shanghai three days ago, flew to the United States yesterday afternoon to shoot the MV for his new song. He was accompanied by the famous mainland actress Li Bingbin..."

The sweet voice of the female host on the screen continued. Wang Lihong, who had dialed his good brother's number, didn't wait long before he heard a tired voice from the other end of the line -

"Lihong, are you done?"

"Well, I'm almost done with my work. I'm going to go home and rest."

“…I want to go back.”

After a long silence, Tao Zhe spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

Difficult, too difficult.

With the help of Zhou Yi's fame and his experience as a policeman and a member of a campus band in the United States, he tried to narrow the distance between himself and Americans. He performed offline non-stop and tried every possible means, but the final result was still unsatisfactory.

No one booed him to leave the stage, but the racial discrimination against him still existed behind the scenes. There were several times when he was so angry that he almost got into a fight with people backstage. If his assistant had not stopped him quickly, he would probably have walked into the familiar police station.

"…It's okay, I'll come back if I want to. It doesn't matter. I failed miserably in Japan. A pervert like Zhou Yi is unique in the music industry. His grasp of the context of English songs doesn't seem like that of a native Chinese speaker."

As a fellow wanderer, Wang Lihong, who failed in his overseas expansion to Japan due to the suppression of Sony News, did not suffer much trouble from the domestic media. He even bought a lot of press releases to save his face, saying for example that his fan meeting was very lively, which made many fans who did not know the truth naively believe that their idol was really making a name for himself abroad.

"I won't accept this. I won't accept this. I really want to slap those idiots, white and black!"

Tao Zhe, who was obviously drunk, was somewhat emotional.

He was not a good boy to begin with. When he was studying in the United States, he was a hot-blooded young man who had fought with white and black people because of racial discrimination. Getting drunk and causing trouble was commonplace for him.

Because of his background, he has no filter towards Europe and the United States.

If it weren't for Zhou Yi, he might never set foot in the European and American music scene again in his life, because it left a very bad impression on him.

After venting his psychological pressure with Wang Lihong, Tao Zhe also received a call from his agent:

"Zhou Yi has arrived in the United States. You can read the news for details. He won't stay long this time. I will arrange a meeting for you, have a meal, and keep in touch."

"it is good."

When he heard that Zhou Yi had arrived in the United States, Tao Zhe immediately perked up and turned on the TV in the hotel.

The treatment of watching the entire live broadcast on the huge screen allowed Tao Zhe to realize for the first time the huge gap between himself and Zhou Yi.

There were fans holding Zhouyi posters, photos, albums, and banners everywhere. They included whites, blacks, and Hispanics. Among Asians, the most were Japanese, followed by those with normal Chinese features. Those with high-class Chinese features had the least proportion.

Everyone gathered outside the airport and screamed, constantly screaming at Zhou Yi who was the first to walk out after getting off the plane!
"Spike! Spike! Spike!"

"Spike!!"

"Book of Changes! Book of Changes! Book of Changes!"

Various languages ​​were mixed together, and the high-spirited Zhou Yi stood in front of the camera wearing sunglasses, opened his arms in full view of the crowd, and enjoyed the love and cheers of the fans——

"Hello, how are you?"

The greetings from the idols caused the scene to fall into complete chaos!
"what!!!!"

"Spike!"

"I love you, Spike!"

Li Bingbin, who had no sense of existence and was only fit to carry the bag, saw this scene and couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes full of envy and desire.

In front of the TV screen, Tao Zhe, Zhang Ziyi and others who were in the United States all felt mixed emotions after seeing this scene.

A big star should be like this.
