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

Chapter 714 MVP Settlement Screen
"Three! Two! One!"

Bang bang bang! ! !
"Wuhu!"

Fireworks filled the sky along with cheers, and the huge Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Los Angeles was immediately plunged into a cheerful atmosphere.

As the most famous city within the city in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills is a representative landmark of extreme luxury. The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, this top hotel located in Beverly Hills, became a foil for one person tonight.

"Spike!"

"Spike!"

"Spike!"

On the huge hotel corridor, Zhou Yi stepped onto the red carpet with colorful ribbons flying all over the sky. He was pushed out by Warner’s staff, led by Warner’s president Edgar Jr. and his agent Qian Jiang. He had to accept a series of “middle school” nicknames given to him by the host Conan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us give the warmest applause to welcome the dream lover of women all over the world, the savior of the record industry, the emperor of Warner Music, the greatest musician, singer and big dreamer since the 21st century - Spike Chow!!!"

Conan Christopher O'Brien used his years of experience as a talk show host to recite the man's opening lines in a rhythmic manner. On both sides of the red carpet, all the guests and reporters followed his rhythm, and applause and cheers rose and fell.

They were supposed to walk the red carpet together, but in the end Zhou Yi was alone. He could only stroll forward amidst all the childish names, raising his hand from time to time to greet the guests or reporters on both sides of the red carpet.

"Cool, I like this copy." Scarlett Johansson stood on tiptoe in front of everyone and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then leaned over to his ear to congratulate him.

"Thank you, dear, but it's obvious that this is not my decision." Zhou Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still walked all the way over -

Well, I was kissed all the way.

Not only did he hit every Victoria's Secret supermodel once, he even hit Elva Hsiao, Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue, Kelly Brook, Avril Lavigne, Norah Jones, Beyoncé and others who came to congratulate him, like a stamp collector.

Rihanna, who got off to a good start with "boom boom pow", was not even worthy of sitting at the table among this group of women. She could only stand in the second row and watch. It was not until Zhou Yi saw her and waved to her that she smiled happily.

The reporters present were somewhat jealous.

The corners of your mouth are almost stretched to the back of your head, you bastard. So many famous women are kissing you at the same time, and you are still pretending to be a flirt?

Two days later, the sales of "listen/Future Sounds" in the United States, which had only been released for a month, officially exceeded 21 million copies, setting a record for the highest first-month sales in the American music scene in the st century - this is something Zhou Yi had not been able to achieve in his previous two albums.

Of course, this may also be put another way - it is precisely because of the solid foundation laid by the first two albums that the sales of Zhou Yi's third album have been maximized at the fastest speed.

Although Eminem also broke his personal record with this wave of popularity and made 4 million copies in the first month, he still lost the competition completely - he didn't even have the face to hold a celebration party.

In fact, according to a well-informed source, his condition has become more serious. He is now taking drugs every day and has to take a lot of drugs to fall asleep.

Moreover, even when he fell asleep, he would still have nightmares from time to time - judging from the fact that his dream talk was all "Spike XXX", it was probably that his dreams were all about the misfortunes brought to him by Zhou Yi.

"Firstly, I have to call out Ed by name, this is not the celebration he told me about beforehand."

Men hug and women kiss.

After a difficult journey, Zhou Yi finally stepped onto the center of the stage and took the microphone from the host Conan. He first praised the prodigal son who was still applauding him, and then praised his agent Qian Jiang: "Also, this copy was definitely written by Leo."

The two people in the audience were laughing very happily.

"And - forget it, screw the precautions, just party hard tonight and Ed will pay for everything!"

Zhou Yi took out a piece of paper from his pocket. Everyone who thought he would give a long speech of thanks for his victory cheered as he tore the paper into pieces. The exciting music from his third album started playing, and this world-class luxury hotel suddenly became a paradise for partying and carnival!
As the absolute star, Zhou Yi was surrounded by men and women one after another, some congratulating him, some exchanging contact information, some flirting, some leaving room numbers, some passing notes, and so on.

As long as he wanted, he could directly invite one or more beautiful female models or celebrities to the scene to practice and exchange ball skills, or even unlock three achievements together that night, even though they might have only met Zhou Yi tonight.

The winner takes all; that’s the reality of the entertainment industry, not to mention that this is the even more blatant American entertainment industry.

Haven’t you seen that the little country girl Rihanna from Barbados has now transformed into a new star that Warner is focusing on training? Before she even officially debuted, she has already hooked up with the towering tree of Zhouyi.

The outstanding performance in "boom boom pow" made many Zhou Yi fans and passers-by remember this undebuted new artist who Warner claimed had a "diamond voice".

As long as this girl doesn't commit suicide and doesn't break up with Zhou Yi, and with the support of a boss who can take care of the lyrics and music, her future will be smooth sailing.

I don't know how many newcomers, or even old hands who are not very popular, envy this newcomer's luck.

With Zhou Yi here, to put it bluntly, even if you tie a dog up there, you can win.

This man is too strong.

Didn’t you see that little Edgar, who has always been known as a sinkhole, can always win after getting involved in Zhou Yi?

The female singers who wanted to sell themselves after Madonna and her group left Warner are now regretting their decision.

In their opinion, if they had accepted Edgar Jr.'s invitation, the favor and resources that Rihanna is enjoying would be invested in them at this moment.

"Congratulations, you look very lucky tonight."

Xiao Yaxuan, who came with champagne, still couldn't hide her tiredness on her face, but her tone was as happy as ever, and she even didn't forget to tease: "The way those women look at you, they want to peel your skin and eat you."

"What about you?" Zhou Yi took the champagne with a smile, clinked glasses with him and said with a smile.

"Don't look for me, I'm very tired. If I hadn't come to attend your celebration party, I would be on my way to Canada now. I have to walk as much as possible before returning home." If it were any other time, Xiao Yaxuan would definitely have been talking nonsense for a while.

But now, she couldn't be tough at all.

The qualities of different people cannot be generalized. She thought that her physical fitness was quite good, but Zhou Yi was obviously at the "beast" level.

Zhou Yi was impressed upon hearing this: "I never thought you would end up like this. You have a very high level of ideological awareness."

Xiao Yaxuan rolled his eyes at him: “Don’t talk without any back pain. Not everyone is as energetic as you.”

Zhou Yi also did road shows and variety shows in the past, but his mental state was obviously much better than hers.

Zhou Yi smiled and took a sip of champagne. Before he could speak, the lights on the scene suddenly dimmed.

Warner President and Bronfman Group leader Edgar Jr., who withdrew from the carnival, pushed a huge ice sculpture of the number "550" slowly to the center where the lights were concentrated.

With just one glance, everyone understood what was coming next.

"Spike! Come on!" Little Edgar, who was pushing the cart himself, held the microphone and greeted him.

Xiao Yaxuan bumped the less excited man with his shoulder, his eyes full of smiles: “Go, this is your moment of glory.”

The camera swept over and Zhou Yi pretended to sigh helplessly.

Sometimes he really didn't understand why these people were so keen on smashing ice sculptures.

"Knock it open Spike, you might get a surprise."

After Zhou Yi came on stage, little Edgar leaned close to his ear mysteriously, smiled and whispered.

Zhou Yi, who didn't understand what was going on, smashed the ice sculpture with a hammer. The next second, the two car keys embedded in the base were reflected into the pupils of everyone present along with the ice crystals in the sky!
One is for Porsche and the other is for Cadillac.

Two songs rang out at the same time:

"Unstoppable" and "That's What I Like."

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the CEO of Warner Music, I am honored to announce here that Porsche and Cadillac will present a gift to our music emperor tonight!"

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Edgar Jr. invited the two group presidents to come on stage and shake hands with Zhou Yi, who was also kept in the dark.

Damn it? !
Cadillac and Porsche dual endorsement? !
Everyone under the stage was shocked.

We are all in the entertainment industry, and we all know exactly what goes on when it comes to celebrity commercial endorsements.

Generally speaking, once a person endorses a brand, he or she usually cannot serve as the spokesperson for another brand in the same industry. This is the so-called endorsement exclusivity.

What’s more, the ones who came to Zhou Yi this time were Porsche and Cadillac.

A real luxury brand.

Although one makes sports cars and the other makes sedans, SUVs and other models, they are not competitors in the same niche market, but they are both one of the faces of the automotive industry after all.

Even Zhou Yi himself did not expect that he would actually be able to obtain non-exclusive contracts from these two companies and become a true dual-brand spokesperson.

What is a surprise?

This is a fucking surprise!
This kind of dual spokesperson contract in the same industry can’t be said to be rare, but at least it can be said to be extremely rare.

In Zhou Yi's impression, Chenglong is the only domestic star who has received such treatment, and it was also a car - the Caddy series of Japan's Mitsubishi and Germany's Volkswagen.

However, judging from the tone of the cars alone, Zhouyi and the other two brands have much stronger promotional resources worldwide than Chenglong.

"Congratulations, my friend, you deserve it."

After the applause and hug, Edgar Jr. smiled and said, "You have won everything for yourself."

Car endorsements, especially those for high-end car brands, are a scarce resource in this era, let alone an outsider like Zhou Yi.

The two songs "Unstoppable" and "That's What I Like" represent Porsche and Cadillac respectively. They are currently very well-known and are making great strides on the charts. Combined with the reputation Zhou Yi built up with his first two albums, as well as the lobbying of Edgar Jr. himself and the forces behind him, Porsche and Cadillac finally gave in.

Porsche, three years, $1000 million;
Cadillac for four years, $1500 million.

Since it is a non-exclusive business contract, the combined amount of these two annual contracts is the cheapest among Zhou Yi's few endorsements. But - this is a double endorsement in the same industry.

In this non-exclusive field of dual business spokespersons, Zhou Yi's endorsement fee this time is already the highest in history.

This means that his influence has completely broken down certain invisible barriers. Not only that, but he also entered the market with an arrogant attitude of "I want both". Both Porsche and Cadillac, as world-renowned automobile brands, actually accepted it.

I have to say this is a miracle.

Although Zhou Yi didn't know how much contribution Edgar Jr., as the helmsman of the Bronfman Group, had made to this so-called miracle, it was obvious that this descendant of old Europe really treated him with care.

There is absolutely no way Qian Jiang could negotiate such a contract.

In the entire Warner, the only person who is qualified to help him negotiate these two contracts is Edgar Jr. No one else is qualified and cannot even get a chance to speak.

"How about this gift, are you satisfied with it, my Emperor?"

Little Edgar, who was so drunk tonight that his face was flushed, said proudly, with a hint of "Come and praise me" in his words.

Zhou Yi laughed out loud and gave the emperor affirmation: "Okay, you are awesome."

In the field of men, "You are awesome" is already one of the highest honors, otherwise Eminem wouldn't have nightmares every day, and his dreams are all about Zhou Yi.

Isn't it because you are awesome that you can't say a word before the media interview?

After receiving the affirmation, Little Edgar pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled brightly: "But this is not over yet, Spike."

"?"

This time Zhou Yi really looked like he had seen a ghost.

What the hell did your grandma do behind my back?
"If I remember correctly, you should stay in the hotel, right, Spike?"

"That's right. I don't have any property either—"

Zhou Yi answered casually, and then seemed to pause suddenly, as if he had thought of something. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the beaming little Edgar, who gave him a thumbs up and threw him a bunch of keys.

"Although I know you don't care where you live, a hotel or anywhere is fine. But, believe me, Spike, a hotel is not as convenient as having your own house."

Little Edgar hooked his shoulder and pointed at him with a bottle of whiskey in his left hand. "A hotel is just a hotel. You can do whatever you want in your own house. You can even drag the Victoria's Secret supermodels over to follow you and have them all lift their butts up to you."

"..."

vulgar!

vulgar!

Am I that kind of person?!
