China Entertainment 2000

December 10, 2000, was a day that made He Xiuqiong feel miserable early in the morning.

As Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law, she has not encountered such a thing for a long time as she is in charge of the company.

"Is this confirmed to be true?"

In the office, looking at the man in front of him who came to report to him, He Xiuqiong suppressed the complicated thoughts in his heart and confirmed again.

The middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle similar to that of the God of Gamblers clapped his index fingers, his face obviously a little unlucky: "Confirmed, Fan Bingbin has indeed hooked up with Zhou Yi.

"However, it is unclear whether there is any hint from Warner behind this."

"It can't be Warner. Warner can't take care of the current music scene and has no time to get involved in the field of TV dramas. Most likely, Fan Bingbin saw the sudden rise of Zhou Yi and wanted to see if he could get an opportunity by joining him.

"It's just a case of emergency medical treatment. Warner currently has little efforts in the field of domestic TV dramas."

The pen in He Xiuqiong's hand repeatedly touched the desk. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go and check out Warner's tone."

"What about that Zhou Yi?"

"Do you still want to touch him? You are used to being domineering, right? He is different from those who go to Treasure Island to beg. It is Warner who has to beg him, do you understand?"

He Xiuqiong took out a piece of newspaper angrily and pointed to the huge front page headline: "Take a good look, Warner just announced two days ago that the sales of Zhou Yi's first album in Asia have exceeded 1.6 million.

"Do you know how much this is? How big is the entanglement of interests involved?

"If you dare to attack Zhou Yi, you are seeking death. If you want to be liquidated by Warner, don't get involved in the company."

The power and connections that Warner has accumulated over the years are not for fun. The three family-owned workshops under Qiong Yao's control are not enough to support Warner's legal department, not to mention that there is a head office behind Warner that values ​​the Chinese market. It can be called dimensionality reduction. blow.

"...Damn! Where the hell did you get this pervert from? He achieved this result at the age of 19.

"Doesn't anyone doubt that he didn't write his songs? How can a 19-year-old kid be so talented?" The man with the big back was puzzled: "How can anyone in the Asian music world be so perverted at the age of 19? ?Could it be fake? Warner is spending money to cause trouble?"

The speechless He Xiuqiong glanced at him sideways: "There is a female singer born in 1983 in RB next door, two years younger than Zhou Yi, named Utada Hikaru.

“When I debuted at the age of fifteen, my first single sold 2.2 million copies, and my second single directly won the title of gold-rich championship single.

"Last year, her first album sold more than two million copies in one week, and in nearly a year, the album sold more than 7.3 million copies.

"Do you want to question it too?"

"..."

Fuck!

The man with his back who knew nothing about the music industry touched his forehead and his eyes were full of disbelief: "Singing makes so much money? We have been doing TV dramas for so many years and we can't keep up with two albums?"

"It's not the singers who make money, it's the talented people who make money."

He Xiuqiong sighed helplessly: "Shopping malls are like battlefields. Anyone who can make money is the boss. Therefore, a genius like Zhou Yi who became famous at a young age and has a strong personal talent and can write and compose his own songs cannot be blocked.

"Unless you can unite the entire music industry, the journalism industry and even the official media to block him, you can bring him down. What's even more terrible is that he graduated from Peking University Law School and is only in his third year. Do you know what this means?"

He Xiuqiong paused and clicked the table with his right index finger: "It means that behind him are a group of alumni and teachers who are proficient in law.

"If you want to challenge Peking University Law School on unfounded legal issues, then I suggest you resign first and not have anything to do with the company."

"..."

Looking at the man who fell silent and stopped talking, He Xiuqiong's frown never relaxed.

Unlike him, she often went to mainland TV stations and companies to establish friendly cooperative relations on behalf of Qiong Yao, so she was naturally very aware of Zhou Yi's gold content.

"If it doesn't work out, just throw Fan Bingbin away. We already have Zhao Wei in our hands anyway. Hasn't she always wanted to terminate the contract with us? Negotiate a private settlement with her, and finally squeeze out some profit. Don't really make it so ugly as a lawsuit.

"Warner is a music player in China. Zhou Yi is indeed prosperous in the music scene, but he can't give Fan Bingbin any resources at all. She will regret it and maybe beg to come back."

He Xiuqiong is very sure.

Soon, three days later, Zhou Yi received a call from Fan Bingbin——

"Zhou Yi, you are right, we don't have to do anything at all. Qiong Yao Company came to me and asked me to withdraw the lawsuit and was willing to negotiate the termination of the contract privately.

"Thank you, thank you very much, thank you."

A huge boulder that had been building up in his heart for a long time was shattered so easily. It was impossible for Fan Bingbin not to be excited: "They originally wanted a termination fee of 1 million, but now they only need 150,000. Compared to My psychological expectations were still 50,000 short."

"You're welcome, just a little effort. I wish you a bright future, classmate Xiao Fan."

Sitting in the Warner recording studio, Zhou Yi bit into the apple Sun Yanzi threw to him, smiled and joked: "Don't forget to take me with you when you become famous in the future."

"...Zhou Yi, you are making fun of me again. I am already like this, how can I be so successful?"

Although he knew the words were polite, Fan Bingbin on the other end of the phone still felt a warm feeling in his heart: "But, thank you very much."

Although the money to terminate the contract was not enough, Fan Bingbin could no longer ask Zhou Yi to borrow money at this moment.

She would rather borrow money from other people she knew than change the friendship between Zhou Yi and her because of borrowing money.

She was embarrassed.

After knowing him for these days, she had gained a little bit of understanding of this man's character, and she felt guilty for the dark speculations that would pop up in her mind in the dead of night.

There are no men in the entertainment industry who are not lecherous, but the lustfulness shown by Zhou Yi is completely different from her impression.

How to describe it? In Zhou Yi's own words, he is upright and upright. He never plays dirty tricks. His main theme is the love between you and me.

After getting along with him, Fan Bingbin even had the feeling that this man of the same age as him was better at playing tricks than the old fritters he had seen.

She still can't tell what Zhou Yi's attitude is towards her.

He said to help, but he didn't bother with anything, he simply had a meal with her, analyzed the situation and asked her to wait for the termination of the contract;

But if this was not a favor, Fan Bingbin himself would feel heartless.

"Now I really believe that your ex-girlfriend can play two tables of mahjong. This mouth can deceive anyone better than anyone else."

Sun Yanzi, who was chewing an apple and propped up her legs on the sofa in white cotton socks, looked at the man who hung up the phone with disdain: "I didn't do anything, so I just followed her on a trip that was already going on. The party at the party was still about Warner's tiger skin, but it made people feel grateful."

"What? Are you not convinced?"

Zhou Yi, who stuffed the Nokia into his pocket, turned around in his chair, tilted his head and said jokingly: "I'm not the kind of man who is busy and courteous. This is called attraction. You, a woman, know nothing."

"I think this woman named Fan Bingbin is quite shrewd. She probably won't jump on you like Elva Hsiao's love brain."

"Aha, let me correct you. Please don't talk nonsense without evidence. Elva Hsiao and I are just friendly friends, thank you."

"Let's wait until her house doesn't have your toiletries before you say this. Last time I went to her house to play, and when I was tired, I just stayed at her house. I accidentally saw men's toiletries behind the dressing room in the bathroom. Do you still like it? pink."

Sun Yanzi curled his lips, and the look in his eyes was even more contemptuous.

Zhou Yi's expression suddenly became serious, he raised a finger and shook it, correcting: "No, no, no, that's magenta, thank you."

"..."

"Also, please don't use your friendship with Elva Hsiao to pry into my privacy. I tell you from the professional perspective of a law student that you are breaking the law by doing this, classmate Sun Yanzi."

Sun Yanzi raised his hand and smashed a pillow over: "I graduated. Also, I'm older than you, call me teacher, thank you."

Before Qian Jiang could speak as he pushed the door open, he saw Warner's most popular twin stars actually having a pillow fight in this soundproof recording area——

The kind where they are tit-for-tat and want to lock each other's heads.

"Aren't you recording?"

Qian Jiang took a look at the messy sofa scene and slowly typed a question mark.

"Well, you may not understand art. This is part of the art of singing: performance art."

Zhou Yi coughed and let go of Sun Yanzi's arms, and straightened the slightly messy sweater - a few strands of fluff from the pillow were still clinging to the sweater as he spoke.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi immediately lowered his head and blew on it, then showed a polite smile to his agent: "Performance art."

"..."

Qian Jiang opened his mouth, then swallowed the words he said: "Okay, whatever you want. I'm just here to inform you that the Xiangjiang Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards that I mentioned to you before will start on January 19, 2001. You were successfully shortlisted.

"Pack your things and get ready to go to Xiangjiang to win the prize."
