China Entertainment 2000

"Mainland Zhouyi, Baodao Wang Lihong, Xiangjiang Xie Tingfeng: three great creative talents, who do you like more?" 》

"The Emperor is furious, Xie Tingfeng may face the strongest opponent!" 》

"The love situation is suspected to have changed, and there are rifts in the relationship between Xie Tingfeng and Wang Fei!" 》

"Brother Zhou Yi from Mainland China arrived in Xiangjiang and was picked up by Jinsuo? ! 》

"Zhou Yi's rumored girlfriend changed again, and Jin Suo bravely entered the gossip circle?" ! 》

"..."

On the first day after arriving in Xiangjiang, the first thing Zhou Yi experienced was the exaggerated paparazzi news in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.

Compared with this group of people, all the paparazzi from mainland treasure islands have to stand aside.

Especially the copy of "Golden Lock Bravely Breaks into the Bagua Array", which made me look like an old man's subway phone after reading Zhou Yi.

"What kind of magical brain circuit is this? Are you brave enough to break into the Bagua array? Am I some kind of villain?"

Throwing aside the newspapers and periodicals bought by his agent Qian Jiang, Zhou Yi, who was wearing a white nightgown, yawned, took the coffee he handed over, and walked step by step towards the living room of the hotel suite.

"This is Xiangjiang's paparazzi, just get used to it."

Qian Jiang brought the breakfast he bought to Zhou Yi's hotel room with a smile and said nonchalantly: "These people are like dog-skin plasters attached to celebrities. Your status as a top student at Peking University is not easy for them.

“If you deliberately talk to them, it will make them more excited.

"Besides, here in Xiangjiang, you are really a villain. Don't forget who the most popular young man in Xiangjiang is."

Zhou Yi, who had taken the breakfast, sat on the sofa. After hearing this, his eyes immediately fell on another weekly article that said that Xie Tingfeng was suspected of having a relationship change with Wang Fei: "Isn't it, so small-minded?"

It was not him who sent the press release belittling Xie Tingfeng's height. He would never do such a thing.

Even if Wang Lihong didn't say anything, he could guess that Sony Music behind it was highly suspicious of doing this.

"You are the first young singer in the Mainland who can dominate Xie Tingfeng in all aspects. Of course they are willing to exaggerate the antagonism between you, not to mention that you are similar in age.

"Moreover, you are currently the only young singer in the Chinese music circle who can sell song cover rights to Koreans."

Qian Jiangle's eyes almost narrowed into slits, and he smiled like a wealthy Maitreya Buddha.

Although it was the first sale and the one-time payment was not too much, Zhou Yi got a commission from the composition.

When a Korean buys it back, he will definitely have to re-write the lyrics. He will not receive the share of the lyrics, but he will still receive the share of the composition.

This level is also a symbol of reputation, especially in the Hong Kong circle where cover singing is a trend.

Warner's current first sister, Sammi Cheng, is a professional cover singer, and she also specializes in catching Korean singer Lee Jung Hyun and tearing a sheep to death.

"In Zhou Jianhui's words, this is the first time he has earned a Korean share. SM also wanted to buy it out at a low price, but Zhou Jianhui personally rejected it."

Qian Jiang smiled and informed Zhou Yi of the good news: "Especially after you won five trophies in one go in the Mainland, Zhou Jianhui will be even more confident.

“Either it’s like when a company buys Korean songs, you as the songwriter get a share of the composition, otherwise you’ll be given a high buyout fee.”

Faced with a veteran like Warner, who often goes to the Korean music industry to buy cover rights for the first sister Sammi Cheng, SM has no place to play tricks even if it wants to.

He wanted to find Zhou Yi to save the country. After winning the award in the mainland, Zhou Yi went to Xiangjiang to attend the next award ceremony. The two parties could not even see each other.

"So, South Korea agrees?"

Zhou Yi, who was chewing chee cheong fun with some soy sauce, raised his eyebrows and asked.

Hearing this, Qian Jiang was even more proud: "They agreed, but now the market position has changed. As your album became popular in Southeast Asia, Zhou Jianhui contacted two other companies who also wanted to buy the cover rights of your songs. Korean companies and even an RB company.

“These companies understand how popular hip hop is currently, and they all want to buy your songs that have been tested by the market and gold-plated with awards.

“Especially after you were selected into the top ten Chinese hits in Hong Kong.

"After all, the Hong Kong music scene still has a certain influence in Japan and South Korea, and the power of the four great kings of the past is still there.

"Didn't Zhou Jianhui previously plan to make your debut reputation as Little Aaron Kwok? But because you became popular in China too quickly and were unreasonable, all the press releases for Little Aaron Kwok were sent to Japan and South Korea.

"With Aaron Kwok's fame, although the language barrier is not clear, you have the face and height, the melody of the song in the MV is nice, and the dance is very rhythmic. It has indeed opened up a market gap in Japan and South Korea.

"SM now has no choice but to join the competition."

Speaking of this, Qian Jiangyele's appetite increased and he ate three golden sand buns: "This is why I asked you to win awards before.

"Regardless of whether it's about sharing the pork, at least there is currently no more prestigious award in the Mainland than the Global Music Chart.

“Same here in Xiangjiang, the awarding model of the Global Chinese Music Chart is actually copied from the top ten Chinese golden songs.

“But because the Hong Kong music scene was popular throughout Asia during the period of the Four Heavenly Kings, the top ten Chinese golden song awards were also painted with a layer of gold paint due to the competition between them.

“Many fans of the Four Heavenly Kings in Japan and South Korea use these top ten Chinese hits to compete with each other for awards, especially Li Ming.

"His popularity in Japan and South Korea can be said to be a leading one. Unfortunately, he is not from Warner. Relatively speaking, Aaron Kwok is more popular in RB."

When talking about Aaron Kwok and Liming, Qian Jiang couldn't help but slap his mouth a few times, which was a pity.

The previous Warner Bros. was really in decline, otherwise it would have been better to have signed Lai Ming, who was having conflicts with the record company, earlier.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can be sold. Although it is an honor to be able to go global, the domestic market is my basic market."

Zhou Yi was very open to this.

It's great to make money from foreigners, but the domestic fan base is the key to his success in the future.

In this special era of the millennium, foreign popularity is really just foreign popularity. Before the advent of the Internet era, there was a considerable gap between the domestic music market and the world music market.

If you take too big a step, you may pull your balls.

Just look at Li Wen and you will know how popular he was back then. I went out to explore a lot, and I thought I would come home with a lot of success and be promoted to the ranks of artists, but in the end I almost lost all my domestic market.

I wanted to regain my base of Mandarin fans, but I was confused by the rise of the big four and the three small ones, and my sales and popularity continued to decline again and again.

Even though she is the number one Chinese female singer internationally, she is still a de facto has-been artist when she returns to China, because her fan base has been completely divided by other domestic singers who compete fiercely.

No matter how much hype the agency boasts about, how many awards he has won, how good his English songs are, and how many sales he has sold, Li Wen's popularity in the domestic market cannot stop falling.

In the end, there was no such person on both the popularity list and the sales list.

It can only be said that Li Wen and his company overestimated the popularity and quality of foreign songs in China, and spent all their efforts and time traveling abroad to promote and chart. In the end, they lost the domestic base they had worked hard for many years.

Zhou Yi would not do such a stupid thing, he could still distinguish the priorities.

In this era, the general public in China do not have so many people or so many channels to listen to foreign songs.

Most people can at most hum a few lines along with the World Cup theme song and advertising jingle. This is because the World Cup advertising song is placed on the TV sets of thousands of households in China through TV advertisements.

After all, the millennium is still an era where traditional media is king.

Qian Jiang, who had witnessed Li Wen's glory, couldn't help but nod, lamenting the decline in her popularity after returning to China: "Li Wen certainly cannot be learned, but if you can go out, it will be really good for you personally, as long as you distinguish the priorities. Just fine.

"For example, there is a secondary opportunity in front of you now. Do you want to fight for it?"

Putting down the breakfast in his hand, Qian Jiang's eyes suddenly became sharp. He took out a folded newspaper from his suit pocket and spread it in front of Zhou Yi——

"Beat Chow Yun-fat in box office reputation!" Jackie Chan's new film was shot in Hong Kong, making him the first person to break into Hollywood! 》

Looking at the huge words "Rush Hour 2" on the newspaper, Zhou Yi took a sip of coffee and raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Qian, what do you mean?"

"Jackie Chan's previous film "Rush Hour 1" was a huge success in Hollywood and the global box office was gratifying. This film also helped him enter the ranks of Hollywood's first-line movie stars.

"In this "Rush Hour 2", Jackie Chan not only received a salary of 15 million US dollars, but also enjoyed a share of the global box office.

"Moreover, the box office share is a treatment that no other black protagonist has. You can imagine how much Jackie Chan was taken seriously in this movie."

Speaking of this, Qian Jiang smiled slightly: "If I remember correctly, you had a good chat with Jackie Chan at the Rolling Stones celebration before, right? Did you exchange contact information?"

Zhou Yi put down the coffee cup noncommittally: "Do you want me to compete for the soundtrack of this movie?"

Qian Jiang nodded, and then said: "In addition to the film itself, music is also an important part of a movie. You can go to Peking University, how about your English? I don't mean the paper-based English used in the exam."

"To the point where I can sleep with a blonde girl."

Zhou Yi’s answer was easy to understand, and the smile on Qian Jiang’s face became even brighter: “I don’t need you to deal with Jackie Chan, because he can’t interfere with the soundtrack.

"But I need you to have a good relationship with him, because it is very likely that the film company will ask several creative staff, including him, for their opinions on the film's soundtrack.

"And I, as your agent, it is my responsibility to help you get the qualification to sing the movie soundtrack from the producer. Now, answer me, do you have the confidence to seize this opportunity?

"Do you have the ability to compose English songs according to requirements?

"It will not affect your time in China, nor will it affect your fan base, because Jackie Chan and the others are running the promotion."

Facing Qian Jiang who was waiting for his answer, Zhou Yi showed a determined and confident smile on his face: "Of course, as long as you can win."
