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

Chapter 569: Knife Pulling Buttocks - Opening Eyes
"Ah! I got it! I got it!"

November 2003, 11, was a Monday that neither office workers nor students wanted to live.

Li Jiafeng, a freshman at Sun Yat-sen University, cursed the school's damn course schedule countless times in his heart and decisively chose to skip class before the third class started. At this moment, he was as excited as Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination, shouting and yelling.

Fu Yuqin, who obviously felt a little uncomfortable, tugged at the corner of her boyfriend's clothes. Her ears turned red under the surprised gazes of many people, and she reminded him in a low voice: "Bibi, there are so many people watching, don't scream."

"Look, I really got it!"

Li Jiafeng, who was in high spirits, showed the free cinema ticket inside the album box. The words "Pirates of the Caribbean" were particularly eye-catching. Fu Yuqin's eyes lit up immediately: "I really won?!"

Winning the lottery is actually real? Will it really happen to them?

Although it was just a movie ticket, the joy of getting something for nothing and the thought of getting a good deal immediately rushed into the girl's brain, constantly stimulating her excited nerves.

In order to cooperate with the release of Zhou Yi's new album "Gui Zang", Disney announced a surprising news before the release -

They prepared 88,888 special "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie tickets for the first batch of Zhou Yi's albums as a random gift, and each ticket had a unique number and Zhou Yi's head portrait on it, which was also a good start.

There are 1+ scattered tickets each for Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, and there are many people in the mainland, so there are 5+ scattered tickets. The winning consumers can watch the movie for free as long as they take the tickets to Warner's theaters.

If there is no Warner Cinema in your city or the cinema is far away and you don't want to go, just go to the "Zhou Yi invites you to see a movie" event page on Warner's official website, enter the number for authentication, and after the authentication is passed, you will receive a Warner staff contact you to change the movie ticket verification location to the cinema closest to you.

In 2003, movie tickets were still expensive in major cities in mainland China.

A movie ticket starts at 25 yuan, and the price of a ticket in a better new cinema goes straight up to more than 2005 yuan. Some experts even predict that by around 50, the price of a ticket in a new cinema will most likely exceed yuan.

It was somewhat shocking when Zhou Yi took out these 88,888 free tickets.

At least for Li Jiafeng, a college student who just entered college, even if he had some money earned from working during the summer vacation, it was still a bit painful to buy two movie tickets at a time.

And now Zhou Yi directly paid him a ticket.

Although it was not much, it was enough to make him admire his idol even more.

Not to mention anything else, just for this round of free tickets, Zhou Yi, or Warner and Disney, will have to spend at least three to four million RMB out of their own pockets.

Looking at the Chinese music scene, who else can do this? !
Who else? !

With such a conscientious idol who sings beautifully, it is definitely worth buying his album!

Blow it up!

Li Jiafeng's face was flushed, and he walked out of the busy video store with his girlfriend in his arms, looking very proud.

"Boss, give me ten tapes of Return to the Void."

"No more, no more. The tapes of Return to the Tibetan Scriptures are all sold out, but there are still a few CDs left. Do you want some?"

"what?"

"If he doesn't want me, I want the CDs. Give me two boxes of CDs."

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Stop cutting in line. I didn't say I don't want it. Give me two CDs of Gui Zang too! Give them to me first!"

"Who the hell stepped on my foot!"

“……”People were quarreling, stepping on others, and trying desperately to cut in line, all mixed together.

As the owner of the largest audio-visual store in the nearby streets, Li Zhongguo, who had not seen such a scene for a long time, felt that his fifty-four-year-old body seemed to have returned to the age of eighteen, with endless energy busy at work.

With quick eyes and hands, the calculator started clacking, and the sounds of "reset to zero" and "reset to zero" echoed on the counter.

"Fuck it! It has to be Zhou Yi's album. Everyone is scrambling for it."

After finally getting through the small peak period during the first release, Li Zhongguo, who had directed his employees to rush to the warehouse to replenish the stock, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the scene where only a few other people's albums were left on the most conspicuous shelf, his fat face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

The sales volume in just the past hour was enough for him to start thinking about how to ask upstream distributors for more goods. He didn't mind even if he had to bundle some albums that were not selling well with others. He could sell Zhou Yi's at a slightly higher price.

He has a large quantity and has the right to premium!

"What do you think he was thinking? Selling an album is like a lottery, and he even paid millions of dollars out of his own pocket to treat fans to the movie. He must be heartbroken." The landlady, who was dressed like a landlady, was also exhausted. She held her waist and sat on the chair to take a breath. She held a toothpick in her mouth and felt heartbroken.

It was as if all those millions were paid by her.

"You know nothing. I don't think he spent a cent of these millions. It's just a collaboration between Disney and Warner Bros. to promote the new movie. It's all business."

Li Zhongguo, who had made some money through the ups and downs of the business world, laughed and scolded his wife, then patted his chest and assured her, "Do you really think Zhou Yi is as honest as he says? If he were that naive, he would have been tricked countless times with this arrogant behavior."

Warner's new cinema needs to be promoted after it is completed, Disney's new movie also needs to be promoted, and Zhou Yi's new album also needs to be promoted. This is a win-win-win business strategy. Spending a few million to string the three together is simply spending a small amount of money to achieve a big goal.

If you really want to start a serious promotion through channels, why don't you start with tens of millions?

"Is this true? He gained fame for nothing without spending a penny? Are those big companies so kind as to spend money on charity for him?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. This is business. But it can be seen that Zhou Yi is really confident in his album. He is completely using his reputation as a guarantor."

Old Li drank some chrysanthemum tea to moisten his throat and was filled with emotion.

In fact, just as he expected, after Zhou Yi's "Gui Zang" went on sale, his theory of spending millions of dollars out of his own pocket to treat fans to the movie quickly became a hot topic in online community discussions in various regions.

But it was soon rumored to be worth tens of millions.

Netizens who had never seen such a thing were shocked.

Sohu, Sina, Tencent, and NetEase, the four major portals, reported on this matter at the first opportunity. Due to the exclusive agreement, Sohu even revealed some more inside information - for example, this was actually a benefit that Zhou Yi took the initiative to obtain for his fans.

“It is said that Disney and Warner did not agree at first, but Zhou Yi slammed the table and told them that if they did not agree, they should not cooperate anymore. Only then did the two companies give in and begged Zhou Yi to sit down and have a good talk.

“They originally only wanted to give out 1 tickets, but Zhou Yi bargained it down to 88888. Later, Zhou Yi, in order to seek benefits for the fans, directly bargained out the number 888, saying that means fortune, for the sake of good luck.

"I am touched. This is the first star who truly treats his fans as brothers and sisters, and it's not just lip service..."

In this savage, pure, and easy-to-deceive Internet age, Zhou Yi's welfare card was played so loudly that all the record companies led by Sony and Universal were dumbfounded...

Not a buddy?

Are you selling albums?
You're selling albums, right?
