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

Chapter 680 Good times

"cheers!"

The wine glasses raised high collided in mid-air, the champagne splashed along the walls of the glasses, and the whole place was filled with laughter.

The Golden Melody Awards have ended, and those who were truly disappointed have chosen to leave early, leaving only some guests, winners and nominees who didn't care about the trophies attending the Golden Melody Celebration Dinner after the ceremony.

For many nominees and even guests, wasting time sitting for hours at the Golden Melody Awards is all for this dinner - whether it is to keep in touch or to find cooperation, they can only talk in a relaxed atmosphere with food and drinks.

Lin Junjie, who just started out last year and won the Best New Artist Award at this year's Golden Melody Awards with his album "Music Traveler", came here to build connections - Ocean Butterflies is a Singaporean company, and even its record release in Taiwan is done by a newly established shell company. You can imagine how shallow its network foundation is.

As one of the few singer trainees in Ocean Butterflies who possesses excellent creative ability, Lin Junjie has always kept in mind his agent's teachings: cling to Zhou Yi's thighs, so that you can get to know more people.

Yu Qing, he is Singaporean and is from the same hometown as Sun Yanzi;

Logically speaking, he was discovered by Zhou Yi and officially entered the music scene. At least he thinks he has some connection with him.

And according to his teacher Lin Qiuli, Warner also fully supported him to win the Best Newcomer Award this time. Now that he really won it, it would be normal to use this as an excuse to thank them and build relationships.

"Brother Yi, I'll toast you a glass."

Lin Junjie, who still had obvious baby fat on his face, politely stepped forward to toast and drank as soon as he raised his glass.

In the entire banquet hall, the circle where Zhou Yi was located was the most eye-catching.

There is no need to say much about Jay Chou, the KTV star. Although his record was handed over to Sony for distribution, he and Wang Lihong did not have much musical cooperation or intersection. They both formed their own circles and played their own music. Therefore, it is normal for him to appear in Zhou Yi's circle.

There is no need to mention Zhang Shaohan, she is the only one who joined Fumao Records this year.

"Yanzi, you two have known each other for a long time. Shaohan is here to present the award to you. I think there is no need for me to introduce Jielun any further."

Zhou Yi acted as a middleman and gave a brief introduction to both parties.

In addition to these, he also introduced Cai Jianya and F.I.R.

Yes, Cai Jianya is also from Warner.

Last year, Cai Jianya jumped from PolyGram Records to Warner, which was a supplement after the failure of the Tianhou Palace strategy.

After all, female singers can't rely solely on Sun Yanzi to sell albums.

As for F.I.R., they are here purely to expand their network within the industry - having released their debut album "FIR" in April, they are arguably the hottest new band in Taiwan right now.

Zhou Yi still left some food for the F.I.R band, which is still considered one of his own. At least he didn't take away the two songs "Fly Away" and "Our Love".

The F.I.R band has become increasingly popular with the songs "Our Love" and "Fly Away", and is on a meteoric rise. This has truly attracted a lot of attention, with people exclaiming how this old dog Zhou Jianhui has found such a talented newcomer.

The most direct impact this has brought to Warner, in addition to the explosive performance, is that the outside world's stereotype of Warner has deepened -

Cai Jianya, who left PolyGram Records to join Warner last year, is a singer-songwriter;

The band F.I.R., which became an unstoppable hit in Taiwan as soon as their album was released in April this year, also had most of the lyrics and music of the album written by the band members themselves, and for the sake of fairness, all of them were signed as FIR.

Warner probably can't get rid of this stereotype even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

Most of the guys were young people, and none of them had any bad habits like playing leaf-flying. They had a lot of common topics, and soon they all agreed to continue the second half of the party together - after the dinner, the group went straight to the KTV.

Jay Chou, who won the Best Album Award tonight, was obviously very excited. He even called his girlfriend, host Hou, to play with him. When he was drinking, he even requested a song and sang Zhou Yi's "Yeah". He shook his head and ended up throwing his wig off...

Zhou Yi couldn't hold it in any longer: "It's not Jie Lun, where did you get it from? The quality is so poor?"

"Never mind, come on, drink!"

Zhou Jielun, who was drunk, cursed and threw it into the trash can. He grabbed Zhou Yi's hand as he tried to escape from the alcohol and said angrily: "If you run away again, you are not a human being. I tell you."

Zhou Yi, who was shaking while drinking half of the drink and had acquired Parkinson's disease, saw that he could not escape and could only raise his head and finish the drink.

"I didn't drink it all. To use your words, are you raising a whale here?"

"..."

Grass!
You son of a bitch, why should I be afraid of you, a charity gambling king? !

After smacking his lips a few times and wiping his chin, Zhou Yi also got excited: "Come on, one last one."

Host Hou, who served as the beautiful dealer, was overjoyed.

Sun Yanzi, Zhang Shaohan, Lin Junjie, F.I.R and others who also joined the battlefield also got their own cards, and each of them brought out their lifelong acting skills - among them, Zhang Shaohan, who has been honed by many high-quality idol dramas, was the most realistic, and those who didn't know would really think she had a good hand.

"50!"

Zhou Yi simply glanced at the cards on his desk, and suddenly he was full of confidence. Sun Yanzi, who was sitting next to him, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and decisively said, "+1."

After spending a long time with Zhou Yi, she also learned to use all kinds of strange abbreviations.

"It's your last chance, you loser."

Jay Chou looked down on him, burped, and then quoted a price: "100."

The starting bet is 10 yuan, and if you lose you have to drink another bottle of beer.

When the stakes are this small, what is really brought to the table is the issue of face - whoever can scare others and win in the end is the cool one.

It has become a complete psychological game.

Zhang Shaohan's eyes rolled around, he looked left and right, and shouted in a shocking voice: "500!"

Lin Junjie glanced at his own cards and hesitated for a moment: "2000."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Yanzi pointed his finger at him: "Shoot you! I don't believe it!"

The dealer Hou will be the referee and look at the cards. The losing party will withdraw from the game and accept the punishment - but if Sun Yanzi, who is the opening player, loses, she will have to drink 5 bottles of beer and pay five times the amount of money of the other party.

On the other hand, if Lin Junjie has a big hand, he can also lure others to attack him and thus complete the counterattack.

pity……

"Yanzi wins."

After looking at the cards, host Hou smiled and announced that Lin Junjie was the first to be eliminated. The latter was instantly stunned.

what?
Gone? ? ?

My cards can't be considered bad, right?
"Yes!"

Sun Yanzi clenched his fists and grinned brightly.

After Lin Junjie was eliminated, the others continued—

Soon, only Zhou Yi, Sun Yanzi and Jay Chou were left at the gambling table.

Since none of them revealed their cards, the three of them were guessing each other's strength and their eyes were on each other.

"7000."

"7300."

"7350."

"7400."

"..."

Since the amount has reached this point, no one dares to be the first to fire someone. Every time a number is reported, it is like breaking the camel's back on one's psychological defenses.

"8000."

Jay Chou, who has never performed well at the gambling table, gritted his teeth and directly increased the bet to eight thousand.

He didn't dare fire anyone else.

It's not about money. A few tens of thousands of New Taiwan dollars is not even pocket money for him. The key point is that he really can't finish 5 bottles of beer.

But I have to admit defeat. Now that it has come to this, I definitely want to give it one more try.

"Can you do this, the two of you? If not, just admit defeat as soon as possible. Just surrender and lose half of your money."

Zhou Yi paused as he tapped the table with his index finger. After glancing at his own cards, he glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "8500." "10000."

Sun Yanzi did not hesitate at all. His clear voice made Zhou Yi and Zhou Jielun look at him sideways for a moment.

"What? You two want to surrender?"

She leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs and looked proud.

Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had the urge to drive her away several times, but he still held back his restless hand.

Something is wrong, nine out of ten times something is wrong.

"I surrender. If I lose half, I'll drink two bottles."

Jay Chou, who had completely lost confidence in himself, did not dare to open the bottle and decisively chose to surrender. He opened two bottles of beer and started chugging them down - drinking two bottles is better than five.

"15000."

Seeing that only himself and Sun Yanzi were left, Zhou Yi pursed his lips and began to observe the latter's various micro-expressions and movements to help him make a judgment.

"You're pretty confident, 20,000."

Sun Yanzi just stared at him without giving in, admiring the way he looked at her carefully, smiling and adding to the bet, but refusing to open the conversation.

Zhouyi: "..."

开？

Or continue?

He couldn't even finish five bottles of beer.

At this moment, he was also in a dilemma.

At this moment, all the other people who were kicked out of the table looked at the two of them. Jay Chou, the bastard, kept shouting, "Ayi, open it! It's just five bottles, what's the big deal? I've already drunk two bottles, what else do you need?"

"shut up."

Zhou Yi said disdainfully, then thought about it carefully, and then said seriously: "Thirty thousand!"

"Yanzi, don't be afraid, shoot him! He is definitely bluffing, he can't have a card that can kill everyone."

Jay Chou continued to drink and add fuel to the fire: "Believe me, he won't have this luck all night."

"Thirty thousand..."

Sun Yanzi, who was completely undisturbed, narrowed her eyes slightly, subconsciously opened the cards and took a look, tapping the table irregularly with her right index finger - pairs of expectant eyes were staring at her.

"4..."

Zhou Yi clenched his teeth.

"never mind."

After taking a veiled glance at Zhou Yi, who had unconsciously become nervous, Sun Yanzi paused, dragged out a long tone, and changed his words. Without waiting for the host to collect the cards, he threw his cards directly into the messy pile: "I give up."

Zhou Yi immediately put on a proud mask: "Win!"

"Ugh!"

Jay Chou couldn't hide his disappointment, and said, "Why don't you dare to fight with Zhou Yi?"

Sun Yanzi said with a smile: "Then why did you vote?"

"Can it be the same..."

Then Jay Chou started to say things like "small investments don't count as investments" and "this is called strategic abandonment", and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Ok?
Host Hou, who was tidying up the card table while watching her boyfriend being childish, noticed the cards thrown by Sun Yanzi and was stunned for a moment.

"If you surrender, you lose half, and if you lose half, it's just two bottles."

Sun Yanzi rolled up his sleeves, stood up, put his boots on the chair, and opened the beer bottle heroically. He raised his head and gulped down a few big gulps.

"Hiccup~~~"

After finishing a bottle, Sun Yanzi couldn't help but let out a long burp, then shook her neat short hair, pointed her right thumb at herself, raised her chin towards Zhou Yi proudly, and shook her legs: "What do you think, the Thirteenth Sister of Hongxing is not just a name, right?"

Zhou Yi was amused by her hooligan attitude and clapped his hands in agreement: "Awesome, awesome. Okay, it's almost four o'clock, let's go back."

It was past 3:40 in the morning, which was why they could play so late because none of them had any urgent schedules after the Golden Melody Awards. Cai Jianya, the only one who had a schedule, did not join the party and went back early.

After drinking, everyone left and both the host and the guests were very happy.

Zhou Yi, carrying a white opaque plastic bag, was the last one to walk out of the KTV room.

"What are you carrying? Packed? Do we have any left?" Sun Yanzi, who was still burping, patted his chest and poked his head out curiously.

"What do you say?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Where are they? Have they returned?"

"I've already taken it. What about you?"

"I'll walk back. The hotel is nearby."

Zhou Yi walked into the elevator while chatting with Sun Yanzi. After the elevator door closed, he took out 15 folded NT$2000 bills from his suit jacket with his right hand and handed them to her without turning his head.

"Huh?" Sun Yanzi was stunned.

"If I lose, I lose. I usually don't cheat."

Zhou Yi raised his eyes and watched the elevator descend and chuckled: "But I will win it back next time."

"uh-huh."

Sun Yanzi hummed twice without commenting, and a smile unconsciously appeared between his eyebrows. He reached out to take the thin stack of money and said, "It sounds like you are still very confident in yourself."

"Every year when I go home for the New Year, people give me the nickname Shangrao Gambling God."

The moment he walked out of the elevator, the opaque white plastic bag made a clinking sound like beer bottles colliding with each other as Zhou Yi moved.

"Did you really bring out five bottles of beer?"

"A real man should nail down his words."

"Can you walk back after drinking? You don't need me to help you back to the hotel, do you?"

"Is there a possibility that you are staggering when walking?"

On the lonely street, the cold wind blew the staggering words, and the dim street lights lengthened the backs of men and women walking side by side.

"What do you know? This is called a catwalk, a model's exclusive catwalk."

Sun Yanzi reached out and took out a bottle of beer from the plastic bag and took a sip. He walked a few steps faster to the front of the man and walked in a serious cat-like manner. When he was done, he turned his head back and confirmed: "Did you see it? Very professional."

Under the skirt, the long legs outlined by the long boots are particularly eye-catching in the hazy moonlight.

Zhou Yi smiled: "Why, you want to be on Victoria's Secret too?"

“I have consulted Victoria’s Secret models.”

The woman shook her head, very proudly: "Besides, you don't have to walk on the catwalk to be on the Victoria's Secret show, you can also sing."

“What can you sing?”

“I can sing a lot more.”

Sun Yanzi used the bottle in his hand as a microphone, jumped up and down with his back to the empty road, and sang his song "Good Time" in front of Zhou Yi. His singing was as intoxicating as the breeze.

"wo oh oh oh~
“It’s always a good time~”
