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

Chapter 604 Hello Mr. Yi
"What's the matter with money? Do I look like someone who is short of money?"

Zhou Yi curled his lips in disdain: "I don't care whether the production team has money or not when I go on the show, because they are not as rich as me anyway."

Sa Beining: “…”

Although the tone of the words sounds provocative, the truth is there - it's true.

Zhou Yi's current wealth is somewhat beyond people's imagination. He is undoubtedly the number one money-making king in the entertainment industry, and is far ahead of the second place, Cheng Long.

The entertainment industry's net income last year alone was more than 100 million US dollars, which is more than 1 billion RMB. It makes more money than Internet companies that appreciate faster. It can be called a walking money printing machine.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. You have to come to the CCTV building for rehearsal anyway. We can discuss the direction and theme of the program then."

They are all on the same platform and the offices are not far from each other.

After many revisions, the "Today's Law" of this era has an independent recording studio inside the CCTV building. When the program started recording, the host Sa Beining sat on a chair and talked with the guests from beginning to end, and then combined with the guests' words to complete the legal education task.

After explaining some precautions, Sa Beining hung up the phone.

"That legal education program on CCTV?"

In the car, Qian Jiang was a little confused: "Can this kind of program really find you?"

This is not a variety show, it's a serious and formal program.

"Why not."

Zhou Yi, spinning around with his fingertips on the Nokia screen, chuckled, "This is a typical case of Internet rumor infringement that caused a major public opinion incident. Doesn't this just suit the appetite of Today's Statement?"

In fact, if it weren't for his incident, the first typical case of Internet infringement and defamation involving a celebrity on "Today's Statement" would probably be Liu Yifei next year.

"Liu Yifei secretly had an abortion and paid her attending physician 10 yuan to keep quiet", "Liu Yifei's elementary school friend revealed that she had undergone a sex change operation" These two outrageous news were so widely spread and discussed that this popular female star was directly sent to this legal education column.

Because these two pieces of news were so outrageous and many people believed them, they are more suitable to be used as a typical example of the Internet saying that three people make a tiger.

Today's Statement: Rumors Fly Easy.

That’s the name of that issue.

It's just that she didn't appear in the studio as a guest, but only as news material.

Sa Beining and Peking University Law School professor Tong Qiang used the sources of these two outrageous news stories to analyze the chaos of the contemporary Internet, reminding people that the Internet is not a lawless place and that people should not do whatever they want just because they cannot find their friends after logging off the computer in an Internet cafe.

Now, the sudden emergence of Yuan Li and others has apparently made CCTV notice the chaos on the Internet a year in advance. Therefore, they wanted to take advantage of Zhou Yi's influence and popularity to invite him to be a guest on the show.

After all, we all graduated from Peking University Law School, so it was just right for the three of us to get together for team-building.

"I even took Professor Tong Qiang's class."

Thinking of the school professor who was on his way to becoming a powerful person, Zhou Yi felt a little sad - he didn't know whether the professor had completely lost his temper.

"A bureau with acquaintances? That's fine."

Qian Jiang was relieved immediately: "Finish signing the handover contract in the next two days, then finish the song "Congratulations on your prosperity", then go to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and record this "Today's Statement"."

On New Year's Day in 04, the investment group led by the famous American tycoon Edgar Jr. signed all the handover contracts with Warner. Warner Records was officially separated from the parent company Time Warner, and the board of directors was completely replaced.

As a small shareholder, Zhou Yi will naturally appear on the public list at that time. After all, his shares exceed 10%.

At the same time, along with the changes in Warner headquarters, the senior management of Warner Music China will also officially begin reorganization.

Although the overall framework of the Chinese region will not change due to stability considerations, a number of people will definitely have to leave. Zhou Yi does not want to meet people in his company who may oppose him in the future.

On January 1, Warner Music, which had completed all the formalities for the handover, officially released a global announcement to make it public:

Zhou Jianhui continued to serve as President of Asia and concurrently President of China, and received company share dividends. The former President of China, Xu Shaofeng, and his faction were kicked out;

Qian Jiang, who was pulled back into the entertainment industry by Zhou Jianhui, was promoted to general manager of the artist department based on Zhou Yi's achievements and took charge of the power. On the same day, Sony Music also announced a personnel change -

Chen Zeshan, former general manager of Warner Artist Department, will officially join Sony Music (China) as president of China. The first album he will be responsible for is Cai Yilin's new album "Castle" which will be released in February after the new year.

At the same time, Sony's full-contract artist Wang Lihong and record artist Jay Chou were all automatically transferred to Chen Zeshan's command. He personally designed the planning plans and handed them over to their respective agents for implementation.

“I’m very familiar with Ayi, but that doesn’t mean we’re afraid.

"In fact, I think the Chinese music market needs competition to make greater progress. I have the confidence that I can help Jie Lun, Li Hong, Jiu Lin and others to reach a higher level. This is my responsibility."

At the press conference, Chen Zeshan made a solemn vow.

It's just that his limelight was basically stolen by Zhou Yi. The reason is simple, it's just because Warner Music (Global) must issue a supplementary announcement after the official announcement -

Starting from January 2004, 1, Zhou Yi will officially become a partner of Warner Music (Worldwide), becoming the first top singer in Asian history to enter the board of directors of a top international record company, with a 4% stake.

Becoming a partner has another benefit for Zhou Yi. As Warner's global top star, he is like a stabilizing force. Edgar Jr., a Hollywood veteran, will work harder to promote him in the United States.

Because now they are a real community of interests.

Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, Brit Awards and other European and American music awards, Zhou Yi no longer needs to make a choice, the main theme is "I want them all" -

The public relations network is fully utilized.

After all, the playboy little Edgar had not been around for nothing in the past, even though he always played the role of a spendthrift.

In other words, Zhou Yi has become the boss of everyone including Sun Yanzi and others from now on.

"What the hell?! Zhou Yi is actually a Warner shareholder?!"

"Oh my god, he went from being a wage earner to a boss just by singing? Is it that amazing?"

"It seems that all foreign companies are like this. Michael Jackson and Madonna have become partners and shareholders."

"..."

When this announcement came out, the people who were most shocked were those who were already discussing the Book of Changes.

Zhou Yi's ability to carve his way onto the board of directors of a top international record company has made countless people envious and jealous.

"That's not right. Where did he get the money? The album didn't make that much, did it?"

Someone discovered Hua Dian.

………………

"Hello, Mr. Yi!"

On the evening of January 1, when Zhou Yi stepped into the Warner Building for the first time after his identity change, Sun Yanzi, who had not been seen for a while, stood at the door to welcome him. His eyes were firm as if he was worshiping Buddha - the main point was that he was civilized and polite.

Zhou Yi stared at her with amusement, stroking his chin with his right hand and looking her up and down, making clicking sounds from time to time.

Sun Yanzi straightened his back and looked ahead, not meeting his gaze, and expressed his wolfish ambitions, saying, "Boss Yi, Boss Zhou doesn't even let me work overtime, I believe you won't do that!"

"You? Hard to say."

Zhou Yi sneered and said jokingly: "Do you know that capitalists and workers have two completely different mentalities? Many people hate capitalists only because they hate themselves for not being capitalists."

If you are working for someone, you can definitely slack off, but if you have shares in an industry, the nature of the situation changes.

"Alas……"

Sun Yanzi immediately frowned, his eyes full of disgust, and he grinned, showing his teeth and threatened: "I didn't expect you to be such a person. The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon, right? Be careful to hang you on the street lamp."
