Chapter 87 Standing on Two Feet Version 1.0

"I'm curious, where did you learn these weird sayings? Aren't you afraid that the famous chess master Nie Weiping will come to trouble you if word spreads?"

Hotel room, bathroom.

The woman bathing under the shower head gradually washed away the foam on her body, and her infinitely young and white skin was dyed a little pink by the steam.

Slowly exhaling, Fan Bingbin reached out and turned off the shower, closed his eyes and wiped his wet body with a towel.

Zhou Yi, who walked out of the bathroom before the woman, was still wiping his body with a dry towel. As he walked around, he couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "To be honest, you may have some misunderstanding about Nie Weiping."

When it comes to talking nonsense, Mr. Nie is definitely the first generation king in the Go circle. The circle of Go players can maintain a clear style that is different from that of the chess circle. Mr. Nie's character is definitely one that takes the most credit.

"Really? Do you know him?"

Fan Bingbin also casually pulled a dry towel and rubbed his wet long hair. Wrapped in a bath towel, he walked out of the bathroom barefoot and stepped on the blanket. He walked slowly to the bedside and looked at the man who was sitting on the sofa blowing his hair without applying makeup. Her tender cheeks were full of curiosity.

That was a famous chess master.

"It's not an acquaintance, just a meeting once. In January, Mr. Nie was ranked on the global Chinese music chart, and Mr. Nie was also invited by the organizer to be a guest.

"I, an amateur Go player, naturally went up to join in the fun. After chatting for a while, we exchanged contact information, and we have been in the phone book ever since."

"Then you're talking like you know him very well."

Fan Bingbin's moist lips suddenly deflated, and he sat down on the bed, dangling his legs in the air; his soft toes stretched wantonly, and his toenails, which were painted burgundy for the purpose of filming the MV, seemed to be matching. He stretched his waist without saying a word:

"You are also a talent if you can link Go to that matter."

Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "I see that you learn very quickly. You can draw inferences about other cases in less than half an hour."

A smile suddenly appeared on Fan Bingbin's lips: "Isn't this all thanks to your tutor who came from a prestigious university?

"If I could have had a tutor like you when I was studying, I would probably have more than just a technical secondary school education."

Fan Bingbin, who signed an eight-year long-term contract with Qiong Yao at the age of 16, looked at the man with a somewhat envious look.

To be honest, she envied Zhou Yi's soaring life so far.

Even this sudden setback from Baodao seems to have no impact on him. He still has a smiley attitude, and he can even bring out the yin and yang of private goods in his MV.

As for her, she didn't read much, and she had to go out to work at a young age. After signing an eight-year contract, she saw everything in the world.

Ruby Lin looked down on her, and Zhao Wei ignored her.

Zhou Yi was discovered by Zhou Jianhui and was given the greatest autonomy in everything, and Warner continued to allocate resources to him;

What about her? No matter where I go, I will only be called Jinsuo or maid. Even if I want to get a chance to prove myself from Qiong Yao, I will be told "maid, just act like a maid".

After noticing the complicated look in the woman's eyes, Zhou Yi didn't say any empty words of comfort, but shook the hair dryer in his hand towards her: "Do you need me to help you dry your hair?"

"A popular star blows my hair for me. I really want it."

Fan Bingbin, who was interrupted from his thoughts, arched his eyebrows and immediately put all the distracting thoughts behind his mind. He crossed his slender legs - the suddenly shortened white bath towel was rolled up, and his round buttocks were vaguely visible.

"You will also become a big star. Chen Shufen and Qiong Yao are different. They have a wide network of contacts. Moreover, Baodao's operation can be said to have completely cut off large-scale cooperation with the mainland. In the next few years, the resources in the Hong Kong circle will be more popular. "

Zhou Yi, who knew the future direction well, made a direct assertion.

Just look at Xiao Yanzi, who is now the most popular mainland actress. After this year, the focus of work has been forced to shift to Hong Kong and the mainland on a large scale.

In the past few years, in terms of film and television dramas, Baodao has almost only idol dramas left to enter the mainland market.

"Yes, I know."

Feeling the hot wind blowing on his head, Fan Bingbin took out two muscle and bone activating ointment patches from his bag on the bed, without concealing his ambition in his eyes.

Mrs. Chen planned it very well for her, and it was the first time she experienced the comfort of having an awesome agent, even if the agent's commission would be higher than that of an ordinary agent.

However, she was strengthening her belief over and over again, and Zhou Yi's left hand playing with her hair somewhat interrupted her ambition.

"Huh? Wait a minute, I was practicing the martial arts moves of Dao Wia some time ago and I slipped to my waist——"

Although they are both young, Zhou Yi is obviously far more powerful than Fan Bingbin, who is still weak.

The long hair that was still a little wet spread out wantonly, and the water stains on the ends of the hair soaked into the ointment that had just been half-torn as time went by.

"Wait a minute Zhouyi, the ointment is wet!"

……………………………………………………

The next day, Qian Jiang, who drove over from the Warner Wheatfield Building, couldn't help but smile knowingly after receiving a text message from Zhou Yina asking him to help bring two lunches.

He just knew it.

He is a young man after all.

After bringing lunch as a takeaway courier, Qian Jiang also met a fully clothed Fan Bingbin in Zhou Yi's room.

"Hello Mr. Qian."

Fan Bingbin, who took the initiative to take the lunch box, greeted him politely, and then to Qian Jiang's surprise, he chose to leave without any trace of sloppiness.

"Is she...?"

In the past, Qian Jiang, who used to help artists deal with such matters in Xiangjiang, usually acted in a negative light, soon turned his doubtful eyes to Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi shrugged and opened the lunch box on his own: "Obviously, she doesn't want you to misunderstand that she wants to have a relationship with me in exchange for benefits."

"Really, that's really rare."

Qian Jiang, who had a slightly surprised look on his eyebrows, immediately looked up and down at the man who was feasting: "What kind of ecstasy soup did you give me?"

"Fart, don't slander me. I never take the initiative." Zhou Yi, who was chewing ribs, glanced at his manager's strong general belly with disdain.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the meaning was clearly revealed.

Qian Jiang's face suddenly darkened: "Don't eat it. I bought the rice and my money."

The cheerful Zhou Yi immediately pointed out a clear path for him: "Go back and ask the company for reimbursement. Anyway, the MV is now finished."

"I'll pay you back a few dozen yuan."

Qian Jiang couldn't hold it in after all, and laughed and cursed: "Hurry up and eat, there is still business to do after eating. We are going to Xiangjiang, and the flight is at night."

"?"

Zhou Yi, who had just finished two bites of rice, slowly asked a question: "What should I do in Xiangjiang now?"

"What you are talking about is, of course, the signing ceremony prepared for you by Coca-Cola. It was supposed to be handled after the year, but it ended up being delayed again and again because of emergencies on Baodao.

"Coca-Cola was working on public relations with the company before, but now that it has been resolved, we are going to hold a huge signing ceremony for you on March 6, which will be as grand as Xie Tingfeng's."

When it came to business, Qian Jiang's face became serious. He took out the notepad in his suit pocket, looked at the schedule and said, "The good news is that after lobbying by the company and Coca-Cola, you can attend the Golden Melody Awards." It's the award ceremony.

"The company's current plan is to let you appear as a special guest at Sun Yanzi's concert in Baodao. This can be regarded as a concession on their part.

"But don't even think about other variety shows, TV promotions, and radio promotions. It's impossible to hold a concert in Baodao because the venue cannot be approved."

Speaking of this, Qian Jiang's face was obviously a little helpless: "There is no way, your popularity and influence among the young people in Baodao are too high, so high that they have to impose more restrictions on you.

"The songs you wrote for Sun Yanzi, Elva Hsiao and Zhang Shaohan have been very popular on the charts, and even your album sales have received a small boost. This is a very rare situation.

"In a sense, it's a recognition of you."

Zhou Yi nodded clearly.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Do you have any idea about the Coca-Cola advertising song I told you before? Coca-Cola will officially announce it at the signing ceremony."

"I have an idea, but to be on the safe side I still ask, will my commercial song be limited to domestic promotion?"

"What if?"

Qian Jiang glanced at him sideways: "Why do you think the image spokesperson for China is called China? If we sign an endorsement contract with Coca-Cola Corporation, it will cost more than 10 million yuan."

That's okay.

In line with Coca-Cola's youth-oriented advertising song, he had a ready-made Chinese advertising song in his mind: "Sad People Don't Listen to Slow Songs."

This song was originally a Coca-Cola commercial song, so it was no problem for him to get it in advance and use it.

The melody is popular enough and the lyrics are simple and brainwashing enough, and it is also in line with the temperament of young people in this era.

After dinner, Zhou Yi simply packed up and went to the airport with Qian Jiang. However, the contents of the entertainment newspapers and weekly magazines in the car aroused his curiosity to some extent——

Photos of Xie Tingfeng and him occupied almost every front page, with a big VS written in the middle.

"Xie Tingfeng VS Zhou Yi, who is the trend-setter in the Chinese music scene in the new century?"

Zhou Yi carefully read through several entertainment newspapers and found that the headlines were all similar. He was very curious about what happened outside during the nearly two weeks that he was tinkering with the MV.

"The young man who ended the era of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong is called Xie Tingfeng, and the young man who defeated the golden generation of the Baodao music scene is called Zhou Yi.

"One was born in 1980 and the other was born in 1981.

"At the turn of the millennium, these two young people, who were only one year apart in age, each completed the challenge to the previous generation of singers in their own way.

"Jacky Cheung, Lai Ming, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Wang Jie; Zhou Huajian, Ren Xianqi, Zhang Yu, Zhao Chuan and other names we are familiar with have all fallen at their feet..."

After the extremely exaggerated words of praise, there is an exquisitely conceived picture - Zhouyi and Xie Tingfeng stand at two ends of the chess board holding guitars and microphones respectively, looking at each other across the Chu River and Han Dynasty.

In the world of Chu and Han, the names of big names were broken one after another.

"After Pepsi-Cola held a grand signing ceremony on February 1, 2001 for Xie Tingfeng, who spent tens of millions of dollars to sign the contract, Coca-Cola also recently announced that it would spend tens of millions of dollars to sign the contract on March 6, 2001. Zhouyi held a signing ceremony..."

Needless to say, the writing style of these entertainment media when writing this kind of news is really good, and Zhou Yi makes his blood boil with excitement.

Even the mainland media joined in the fun, but the words used were relatively less harsh.

The entertainment section of the "Didu Youth Daily" even published a very controversial headline - "The two-legged stance of new forces in the Chinese music scene".

Zhou Yi himself didn't even know that he was as awesome as the one boasted in this report, and he kept selling high-profile titles like "the new youth leader in the Chinese music scene" as if they were free of charge.

"No way, apart from the songs, the two of you are now the only ones to be talked about. You were brought in because of Baodao's reasons and the popularity of the songs of Elva Hsiao, Sun Yanzi and Zhang Shaohan. Popularity and scandal bonus;

"Xie Tingfeng supported countless paparazzi throughout his life because of his rebellious behavior and his love affair with Faye Wong, who was 11 years older than him."

Seeing Zhou Yi reading one book after another, Qian Jiang explained a little: "The company and Emperor didn't do much, they just simply lit the fire between the two of you and the topic exploded."

In the entertainment industry, attention means popularity, otherwise there would be no "beautiful position" and "black and red are also red".

"Huo Wenxi also plans to ask two of his female artists who are about to form a group to debut to express their appreciation for you and Xie Tingfeng respectively, in order to create a greater topic.

"You should be able to see relevant reports when you arrive in Hong Kong. Of the two girls, the one named Gillian Chung expresses her appreciation for Xie Tingfeng, and the one named Charlene Choi expresses her appreciation for you."

"..."

6. As expected of you, Huo Wenxi.

Zhou Yi thought about the scene mentioned by Qian Jiang, and his expression suddenly became weird.

Are Gintong Chung and Edison Chen in love during this period?

He only knows that Charlene Choi has not met Prince Edward yet. After all, it is only 2001, and the Tyrant Dragon brother Cheng Zhongji is still involved with his true love Miriam Yeung.

"Oh, by the way, because your signing ceremony needs to be as grand as possible, Coca-Cola has invited Elva Hsiao, Zhang Shaohan, and Sun Yanzi, who are currently in the limelight, to come over and help you stand up.

"I'll give you a vaccination in advance, don't expose Elva Hsiao. Your company has no regulations, but Virgin Music does not allow Elva Hsiao to fall in love."

Considering his experience of robbing Zhou Yi from Elva Hsiao's house in Baodao, Qian Jiang gave him a serious warning.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Zhou Yi nodded and made a received gesture.

only……

After arriving in Hong Kong, he had just met Elva Hsiao, Zhang Shaohan, and Sun Yanzi for dinner. Still accompanied by his agent, the prosperous paparazzi in Hong Kong couldn't wait to put him on the entertainment headlines the next day. ——

"The Dragon Crosses the River!" The three women surrounded Zhou Yi and showed their power! 》

"The Three Holy Maidens!" Zhouyi stays overnight on the dragon bed! 》

"..."

Zhou Yi: "I understand the truth. What do you mean by sleeping on a dragon bed? They were secretly filming it under my bed last night?"

ps: I was dragged into team building, Axi.

The most annoying thing is to do team building after get off work. If you have the ability to do team building during work time, damn it.

ps2: After drinking tonight, I probably won’t be able to go back until twelve o’clock, and it will be too late to write the second chapter.

Three updates tomorrow.

Tomorrow's third update will be a complement to today's second update.
