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

Chapter 620 Believe in Dad

This disappointed many people who were just looking for trouble. When faced with each other, it was clear that the abuse of mental control drugs over the past year had not destroyed Eminem's sanity.

Although he just had a cold face, he didn't do anything.

There's no way. Once you start, the nature of the situation will change.

The reason why he pretended to be cool and didn't say anything was purely because he was ridiculed by many people as the king of big talkers. After meeting Zhou Yi, he never had the upper hand in verbal battles and was even given the nickname Tom Cat. He was afraid that he would be at a disadvantage in a face-to-face verbal confrontation.

At least this way we can save face.

50 Cent obviously didn't have the self-control, so it was thanks to the black man's dark face that he couldn't read the man's face, but his eyes were still fixed on Zhou Yi.

Before coming to this year's Grammy Awards, he was severely warned by company executives including Eminem: Do not have any form of conflict with Zhou Yi.

If Eminem's "Tom Cat" was just a blow to his nickname, then Zhou Yi almost ended his career, which was so hard to get started.

No matter which country's entertainment circle it is, this is considered a huge grudge that blocks someone's path to wealth.

If he wasn't inferior to others, and now that he has become famous, he has indeed tasted the ease of making money and the glamour of the entertainment industry. He would have had a great time with Zhou Yi on the spot.

After all, Zhou Yi now is no longer the Zhou Yi of a year ago. With Warner, Disney and Apple, the three giants standing behind him, it is easy for him to deal with a little Karami.

He had already seen the terrifying power of the giants on Microsoft's PPT.

But just a glance between each other was enough to make the reporters at the scene excited to the point of having their eyes sparkle.

"Hey, Spike, you're so late. I missed you so much."

As the new boss of Warner, Edgar Jr., who has completely completed the reorganization of Warner Records during this period, also came to the dinner. After the two looked at each other, he came to Zhou Yi with one arm around his female companion, opened his arms and greeted him warmly and intimately.

As representatives of the Warner faction, the combination of the two instantly made many of the female singers behind Zhou Yi think of the "emptiness" of the artists after the reorganization of Warner Records.

As for male singers, it's okay, there is Zhou Yi Dinghai Shenzhen and the rock band Linkin Park to supplement them. The company can also slowly train other singers and there is no need to rush.

But in terms of female singers, the departure of Madonna and the lawsuit directly caused Warner to lose a top female singer and many talented female singers under Madonna's company...

If you want to become a real top star, it is not enough to simply keep up with marketing to get to the top, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many talented people in the entertainment industry who choose to believe in metaphysics.

"This group of bitches asked for too much, and our people just tried to test the waters. They labeled themselves like whores."

After the pre-rehearsal dinner, Edgar, who returned to the company with Zhou Yi, lost his elegance and swore in the office while pulling his tie: "No, they are worse than prostitutes. At least prostitutes know their own weight.

"We won't die if we don't have the female singer. They really think they are a piece of cake."

After the farce between Madonna and the former Warner Records, Edgar Jr. was extremely cautious about signing artists. He wanted to poach people, but was disappointed to meet these "sky-high contracts" offered by these divas or diva candidates who he thought were confused.

How many dishes did you have?

"If this gets out, they will say you are discriminating against women, especially Madonna who claims to be a pioneer of female power."

Zhou Yi was happy.

No wonder after the reorganization of Warner in 2004, there were so few famous female singers signed worldwide, and several young female divas of the Mesozoic era were not caught. As the chairman, Edgar Jr. made great contributions to this.

He is worthy of being called a guiding light, a well-known prodigal son in the industry, and the man who sold Warner after he couldn't continue playing the game anymore.

Fortunately, although little Edgar, who liked to personally manage the business, missed out on several young divas, Warner's Atlantic Records later found a man for the willful little Edgar who single-handedly stopped Warner's decline - Bruno Mars.

Nicknamed Brother Mars, he was a man who once had the hope of becoming the top man in Europe and the United States in the new era.

Zhou Yi took a sip of red wine and recalled.

I just don't know where Martian is now, feeling sad and depressed. It seems to be Motown Records? Or some other record company. He worked in the later period for several years and didn't get a chance until he was released from the contract. Finally, he was picked up by Atlantic Records under Warner. In addition to Martian, Ed Sheeran, nicknamed Mr. Huang, was also discovered and became famous by Atlantic Records under Warner. It can only be said that the later Warner Records was still qualified to be sold, and the big money was really all due to these two men.

"I still don't agree. Spike, what do you say about us training a few female singers ourselves? Do you have any good candidates?"

Little Edgar, who knew a little about the metaphysics of the Book of Changes, had spent a long time with Zhou Jianhui preparing for the acquisition, and therefore learned an advanced experience from Zhou Jianhui - the metaphysics of the Book of Changes.

When you are in doubt, listen to the Book of Changes, especially when it comes to choosing a singer.

Since he is in the entertainment industry, he has to believe in metaphysics and the Book of Changes.

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: "All the female singers I know in the United States are famous. Where can I find an amateur for you? Scarlett Johansson? She is an amateur when it comes to singing."

"What? No, no, no, I asked someone to collect some demos that were recently submitted to our company, and there are many female singers among them. After further screening, I asked someone to send them to you. Do you want to listen to them?"

Under the influence of Zhou Yi, the X factor, little Edgar, who was originally too lazy to watch these demos, chose to trust his father's vision.

Although I have always been criticized in the industry for being a prodigal, having poor vision, and liking micro-management, etc., my daddy is good!

Believe in Dad!
A few minutes later, Zhou Yi received a bunch of demos sent by Edgar Jr.

In the European and American record industry, if you want to try to make your debut, the easiest way is to find a recording studio and record a demo that can play to your strengths, then copy the demo a dozen times and submit it to major record companies, hoping to be selected.

"So, in the following period, apart from rehearsals for the Grammys, I basically stayed at the company listening to demos. Fortunately, there weren't many, and the company had screened them several times."

During the call with Xiao Yaxuan, Zhou Yi complained about Edgar's action which was taken for granted after he made a decision.

It’s really not your fault that you lose money. You’re not good at anything.

"Isn't this a good thing? What if a queen is chosen for you? When she becomes famous, she will help you, a capitalist, make money." Xiao Yaxuan, who was somewhat impressed by Zhou Yi's vision, laughed on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Yi groaned: "Why not just dig you out here?"

"Please spare me. The European and American industries are too tired. After this release, I am demystified."

Xiao Yaxuan kept shaking her head, her head like a rattle: "Didn't you ask me to use the song "Because of You" on the Apple Music Store to start the online route? The company and Apple have never reached an agreement because of my fame. I have been running around in the United States these days and I am almost exhausted."

There are so many offline venues here.

Under the title of "Chinese senior sister of the Blue band", Elva Hsiao became somewhat familiar to the public by performing the English version of the song "U Make Me Wanna" in offline venues in the United States.

As the most successful R&B idol group in the UK since the new century, Blue has extremely strong performance and popularity in the European and American markets. The song "U Make Me Wanna" was originally written by EMI for Elva Hsiao in 02.

It’s a pity that it didn’t become popular in Asia.

However, in 03, the Blue group took the lyrics back and wrote an English version, which was included in their own album, and became popular in Europe and the United States.

“When does your company plan to release “Because of You”?”

“It was around the 18th of this month, and my name had a certain foundation, so it wasn’t like no one cared about it. “U Make Me Wanna” wasn’t a new song, it was suitable for me to sing when I first came to the United States.

"Now that we have gained some fame and have met Apple's requirements, 'Because of You', as the ace song in the EP, will be officially released this month with the release of the EP."

An EP always has to have a new song.

In Hsiao Ya-Hsien's EP, the English version of "U Make Me Wanna" has already been released. The English version of "Sun Never Sets" is obviously not as good as "Because of You", so it is self-evident who should be chosen as the main song.

"I'm going to be on Conan after the Grammys. Would you like to come and help me? It's like-"

As Zhou Yi was speaking, the name on a demo made him pause suddenly -

Ok?
