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

Chapter 627: True Outlaw

Ever since Warner Music Group completely separated from its parent company Time Warner at the beginning of this year and was acquired by Edgar Jr. to complete its restructuring and independence, there have been countless eyes secretly staring at the vacant positions at Warner Music Group.

This is also the reason why little Edgar complained about those people to Zhou Yi before.

But now, when Warner suddenly withdrew all the offers that were being negotiated overnight and turned to signing a little-known black girl from Barbados, all the female singers who actually wanted to join Warner were stunned.

No, they just want more benefits. Why don’t you play by the rules?

Negotiate, negotiate. Don’t we have to have several more rounds of talks?

Why did you suddenly overturn the table?
Is he really just a complete spendthrift?
"Is Warner crazy?"

"She is just a 15-year-old. Does Warner still intend to rely on a 15-year-old to support the banner of their company's female singer?"

"What did you say? Spike interviewed him personally?"

"Shit, you can't do anything with your kids!"

"..."

"Hmm? Wait wait, who said the second to last sentence? That sounds familiar."

February 2th, Valentine's Day.

New York, Scarlett's home.

Zhou Yi, who was topless and had a towel tied around his waist, put down the paper and pen he was working on, looked up at Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting on the table with her legs dangling, and said with a smile: "Hasn't Ferguson taught these Americans not to talk nonsense?"

"Who knows who Ferguson is? Football in the United States is not the world's number one sport. It's not even in the top three."

Scarlett Johansson, shaking a glass of red wine, was wearing a translucent black veil, with her dazzling blonde hair tied casually behind her head, leaving a few strands of hair scattered on her forehead: "Also, aren't you the ambassador of Arsenal?"

She is only 19 years old and has not yet had breast reduction surgery, so her breasts are quite pleasing to the eye.

"It doesn't make any difference. Anyway, they are both good at using children - huh?"

As he was speaking, Zhou Yi, who sensed something strange, looked at Scarlett's toes that were stretched out to play with the football - the nails were painted bright red.

The woman put down her wine glass and placed her hands on the table. She flexibly fiddled with the football with her feet. She raised her chin slightly and looked down at him condescendingly, with a joking expression on her face: "It seems that you are not very competent as a football promotion ambassador, Spike. Your ball protection skills are not good enough. I easily took the ball away from you."

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When I came to the United States, I preferred to study dribbling techniques. After all, the NBA is much more popular in the United States than the Major League Soccer." Zhou Yi raised a playful smile as he invited the player to play a singles match.

"Hmm, maybe I misunderstood you?"

"Probably. But it would be more immersive if you could put on a cheerleading uniform."

Cheerleading is an indispensable part of American campus culture.

It is not uncommon in movies for football and basketball captains and school bullies to have a bitchy love affair with the beautiful cheerleading captain.

Scarlett turned around and pressed down on the music score whose handwriting had not yet dried. The moment she turned her head, the tip of her tongue brushed across the corner of her mouth. She gave him a provocative look and then suddenly attacked, shaking her body at the frequency of a cheerleader's halftime performance.

"Come on, I like crazy, spike."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, pat on the back, you know?"

With a crisp sound of "pop"——

"I don't know, but——"

"shoot someone in the back! shoot someone in the back! come on, spike!"

Scarlett Johansson's legs went limp for a moment, and she was shaking so much that people who didn't know her would think she was having a seizure. Fortunately, Zhou Yi held her up in time, otherwise she would have fallen off the desk and hit her butt.

The ink stains spread by sweat covered the heading on the sheet music. Scarlett, who had recovered from her shock, smiled contentedly twice, picked it up and waved it towards Zhou Yi: "Sorry, Spike, it looks like you have to rewrite it."

"You don't have to tell me that I'm going to rewrite it because I suddenly have a new idea for the new song."

"What do you mean? Did I give you new inspiration?"

“Of course, I even have a title for the song in mind.”

Scarlett was really curious now: "What's your name?"

Zhou Yi, who was holding her in his arms and talking, poked her back with his index finger and said teasingly, "Sexy Back."

"Bad boy." Scarlett Johansson said in a hoarse voice and rolled her eyes at him.

Isn't it normal to shoot her in the back, it has happened so many times.

"nonono."

Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's not the back, it's the return."

"Sexy Back", sexy is back.

This Grammy-winning song helped Justin Timberlake reach the top of his first single career in his personal music career. It was also his first B-chart champion single after he went solo. It topped the charts for seven consecutive weeks, completely establishing the status of this super boy.

"But, for tomorrow's Conan Show, who else have you invited besides me?"

"you guess?"

Scarlett Johansson raised her hand and punched him in the chest.

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

"I'm just a fucking kid, still guessing."

New York, on the subway.

David Koman scoffed at his good brother's mysterious behavior: "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I won't help you get Spike's autograph when I go to the Conan Show tonight."

On the evening of February 2, the recording of "The Conan Show" began.

This is the day that Zhou Yi's loyal fans have been looking forward to for a long time. After all, every time Zhou Yi appears on a talk show, he will say something extremely arrogant, which makes this group of fans feel good too.

The idols took the lead and the fans cheered.

The current situation of European and American entertainment industries.

"No, please, please, I'm telling you, I just found out that I seem to like Annie from the class next door..."

The good friend who wanted to keep the secret suddenly changed his expression.

He didn't get a ticket to the Conan Show, so his friend also got one, so he couldn't take him with him. In order to get an autograph, he had to tell her everything, and he didn't forget to say: "You have to keep this a secret from me, I don't want others to know that I have a crush on her."

"Okay, no problem. Are you still worried about me?"

David Coleman raised his hand to smooth his golden curly hair and blinked, showing great loyalty.

They are all buddies.

"What about Spike's autograph tonight?"

“It’s nothing.” After getting off the subway and parting ways with this classmate, David came to the agreed location. When he saw the hot girl waiting for him, he immediately raised his hand and said hello to her: “Hey Annie.”

"David! You're here, hurry up, Spike's recording session is about to start, and I can't get in without your ticket."

"It's okay. I calculated the time. Spike and his team won't start recording until the evening. We still have time..."

There are obviously two tickets, but David Koman, who has cut ties with his good brother, has an inexplicable feeling in his heart when he thinks that the goddess that his good brother has a crush on seems to be spending the night with him tonight...

After having a romantic dinner together, David Korman finally brought college cheerleader Annie to the recording site of "The Conan Show" and successfully held her little hand, feeling very proud.

What made him feel strange was that why he didn't see the host Conan directing the staff to deploy their troops on the "Conan Show" tonight?
What about others?
For viewers who are already accustomed to watching "The Conan Show", the host Conan is undoubtedly the soul of the show. Although everyone can recite the program flow, this does not prevent everyone from still loving to watch it.

Conan Christopher O'Brien is already their stable old friend.

But tonight, their old friend did not show up even once until the show officially started recording...

"what happened?"

"I do not know."

"Did he get food poisoning? Is there someone covering for him tonight?"

"Or was he hit by a car on the way to work?"

"..."

The audience, who had never seen the host disappear since the beginning of the Conan Show, were talking about it. But when the lights dimmed, the big screen on the stage suddenly revealed the face of Conan O'Brien.

"Let's see what the media is saying about Spike..."

"Outlaw, Coming up..."

"Oh, God, what did I see? I've read DC. In fact, DC comics were very popular in my time. The character Outlaw was a frequent criminal..."

"I admit that from past news reports, Spike does seem a bit like an outlaw. Perhaps Outlaw is a good fit for him?"

"..."

These are the exaggerated headlines reported by the American media when Zhou Yi arrived in the United States earlier this month.

As we all know, talk shows often make fun of celebrities.

Because Zhou Yi has appeared on "The Conan Show" many times, Conan O'Brien naturally made fun of Zhou Yi's identity as a law student and his nickname "outlaw" in many past episodes.

"Zizzizi..."

Just as the audience was confused, the big screen suddenly showed a snow screen with signal loss. When the picture reappeared, it was a small room full of guns and ammunition. A figure with his whole body hidden under a hood sat on a chair, dangling his legs nonchalantly.

"Outlaw, outlaw, outlaw. I don't understand why Conan O'Brien keeps calling me that. Maybe he doesn't know that I actually hate it."

When Zhou Yi took off his hood and exposed his face on the screen, his deliberately lowered voice had a Batman feel: "Because I never kill anyone."

? ? ? ? ?

"But it doesn't matter. He can't speak now."

As Zhou Yi actively pushed the camera away, Conan O'Brien, who was tied up in a wheelchair and biting his tie in his mouth as if he was gagged, came into the public eye.

This is a gesture he has never shown in his artistic career.

"You see, these people who study and work in journalism are always so easy to offend others, so come on Conan, let me show you how the real outlaws take over your show."

Zhou Yi stood up and took off his hood. His smile did not look like Batman but rather like the Penguin. He pushed Conan O'Brien, who was tied to a wheelchair and unable to move, and disappeared from the screen.

The audience was stunned at first, and then immediately began to scream and cheer in disbelief!

"Spike?!"

"Spike!!"

"Spike!!!"

This unprecedented opening surprised all the audience.

They never thought that Zhou Yi would appear on the talk show stage as a real outlaw and kidnap the host Conan O'Brien.

The media said he was an outlaw, and he actually responded to such remarks by appearing like an outlaw.

"Oh God, this is so cool!"

When Zhou Yi pushed his wheelchair out from behind the scenes accompanied by exciting music, and then let go of the wheelchair and waved to the audience, David Koman's eyes lit up.

Especially when Conan O'Brien, who was in a wheelchair, was trying hard to move to the center of the stage, with a ferocious expression and unable to speak, it formed a sharp contrast with the comfortable Zhou Yi.

Needless to say, the opening of this novel talk show alone caused thunderous applause, and Conan O'Brien's performance drew even more cheers.

"Hey, everybody."

Zhou Yi, dressed in a suit and tie, straightened his tie, put one hand in his pocket and stood at the forefront, with a smile on his face: "Welcome to tonight's Spike Show, I am the host Spike Chow. Yes, you heard it right, the Conan Show is going to have a new era tonight."

There was laughter from the audience, and many people even whistled.

At the Conan Show, the distance between the stage and the audience was very close, and Zhou Yi could intuitively feel how strong the cheers of about 200 people gathered together.

"Spike! God! I love you so much!"

"We don't want to watch the Conan show, we want to watch the Spike show!"

"..."

After the audience released their first wave of emotions, Zhou Yi, smiling, raised his hands and pressed them down into the air: "OK, ok, thank you, I feel your enthusiasm. It seems that I am much more popular than when you were the host, Conan."

As he said this, he did not forget to half turn around and look back at Conan, who was tied up and unable to move his hands and feet on a large scale, and could only move back bit by bit in a wheelchair. The latter was panting heavily from exhaustion, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he had been nr'd in front of him, and his expression was astonished.

"Please understand. After all, I am old and can't do it anymore."

Zhou Yi made the final move, and Conan in the wheelchair became even more excited, his expression seemed to be saying that I am the host.

"See? This is the price of studying journalism and talking nonsense." Zhou Yi added. Conan seemed to be tired of struggling and collapsed completely in the wheelchair, with a look of despair on his face, but he was still biting his tie in his mouth and couldn't speak.

The audience in the audience couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.

"To be honest, I've wanted to do this for a long time because I think he's totally inferior to me. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and other newspapers, I can legitimately occupy the Conan Show in the name of the outlaw."

Zhou Yi returned to Conan's side with a few small jumps, and gently kicked his wheelchair. Conan, who finally moved back to the center of the stage to mix the shots, watched in despair as he slowly moved towards the edge...

"I believe that the audience here and on TV are probably seeing a truly talented person hosting this show for the first time. I hope you won't find it strange."

Zhou Yi opened his arms to the audience and said with a smile: "However, before the show starts, I still need to complete some changes on the scene. I hope you will allow it. For example, replace Conan O'Brien's people with my people and terminate their labor contracts for this show.

"Of course, this is not permitted by law, so I will not pay even a penny in compensation."
