China Entertainment 2000

"Pirate? Are you sure?"

Jerry Bruckheimer was a little confused at first, but since it was sent to him by an old friend, he still read it patiently.

This MV has no English subtitles, only Chinese, and he doesn't understand the language. But fortunately, the picture is universal, and it can be clearly seen that it is a pirate story.

The story line of the MV is very complete. As a big-name filmmaker who has produced films such as "Jedi Men", "Dangerous Heart", and "The Island", he easily extracted a story from the MV screen. Storyline——

Then, he was surprised to find that although the story line of this MV was simple, it was an extremely dramatic Western pirate plot in form.

The fantasy in some places even has similarities with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" he is preparing, which makes Jerry Bruckheimer feel very strange.

"Does this Spike have a background in studying abroad?"

"No."

"interesting."

Jerry Bruckheimer played the MV over and over several times, paying great attention to the details, and even got some vague inspiration from it.

Originally, based on Jerry Bruckheimer's original idea, he actually went to those musicians for the soundtrack work of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

But he never expected that a singer from the far East would have a vision of pirate themes that could match his thoughts.

Although he didn't understand the lyrics of this song, the rhythm was obviously that of pop music. Combined with all the noise Spike had made in the American music scene...

"Jenny, contact Warner and ask their singer Spike if he has time. I want to talk to him."

"Let's talk?"

Warner Records headquarters building, a separate lounge with the name "Spike" on the door sign.

With the record sales, Zhou Yi's status of having an exclusive lounge when he came to the headquarters for the second time is no longer the same as in the past. After enjoying it, Qian Jiang became very prosperous at the record headquarters with his Cantonese English, and his network of contacts expanded a lot.

It is precisely because of this that when Qian Jiang was notified and came to Zhou Yi with the news, the latter was surprised: "Okay, old Qian, you can talk to people at Disney."

"No, that Jerry Bruckheimer is not a Disney guy."

Ever since Zhou Yi entered the international market, he has been enriching himself with various knowledge. He has evolved along with his footsteps. Qian Jiang smiled and patted his swollen belly: "But he is a producer, so that's why he watched the MV." I decided to find you, and the song "Pirates" that you wrote for Elva Hsiao aroused his interest."

Hollywood's producer-centered system determines that the producer of most movies is the boss who can tell the truth, let alone a hot star producer like Jerry Bruckheimer.

Without Zhou Yi's popularity in the United States, no matter how much the song "Pirates" was released, it would never have been noticed by giant companies like Disney.

"I have no objection, let's make an appointment."

Although he was surprised that the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean" came to him, he might be able to gather wool while lying down, and he would be happy to do so.

"One more thing, the time for the interview with Time Magazine has been set for you, just next week."

Compared to that damn pirate movie from Disney, Qian Jiang obviously valued Time Magazine more. Balabala caught Zhou Yi and told him a lot of things to pay attention to.

However, both Qian Jiang and Zhou Yi obviously underestimated the sensitivity of the developed entertainment industry in the United States to disturbances among major giant companies.

On July 14, "Entertainment Weekly" reporter Smith Brown took the lead in breaking the news that the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Zhou Yi were flirting -

"Jerry and Spike team up?" Maybe they are still one Tom away from becoming popular all over the world. 》

As an eternal monument in the history of American animation, and even in the history of world animation, the popularity of "Tom and Jerry" is self-evident.

It just so happens that both Jerry Bruckheimer and Zhou Yi's English names can correspond to this animated masterpiece that has become popular all over the world.

"I can understand that Jerry wanted the movie to be a global hit, but maybe he should have adopted a cat called Tom on the set and dyed his fur blue."

A meme involving Tom and Jerry quickly spread through Internet channels such as Yahoo, and there were even comments teasing that starring Johnny Depp should change his name to Tom Depp.

This attribute of Lezi people exists in both the East and the West. And, not only are there, there are many.

On the 15th, Johnny Depp, who was attending an event in Los Angeles, also took the initiative to cue this statement in an interview and responded with a smile: "Maybe I can really consider it."

"Johnny, have you already met Spike?"

"No, not yet. But I've heard his music, and it's so good, it's incredible."

Johnny Depp, who already has a considerable position in Hollywood, used several adjectives to express his praise for Zhou Yi: "If he can really reach a cooperation with Jerry, then I will be very happy, he is a very talented musician people."

As an actor, Johnny Depp is quite friendly to an outsider like Zhou Yi when there is no conflict of interest.

After all, the last movie for which Zhou Yi was responsible for composing a soundtrack was called "Rush Hour 2", which ranked fourth at the annual box office in North America.

"Spike was first recognized by Americans for his outstanding performance in the soundtrack of "Rush Hour 2". It can be said that he first became famous in the United States through the soundtrack of the movie.

"If Zhou Yi can maintain his hot history and finally confirms to join "Pirates of the Caribbean", I think maybe the global performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean" should not be too bad."

When Mariah Carey, who attended a music festival, was asked about news related to Zhou Yi, she rarely talked about Zhou Yi publicly because of the Eminem scandal, but she rarely praised Zhou Yi.

"Maria, you sound like you admire Spike?"

"Of course, I've listened to all the songs on his album and I think he's so talented, especially since he's so young."

As one of the top divas in Europe and the United States, Mariah Carey's evaluation is undoubtedly a major benefit to Zhou Yi. After all, Zhou Yi really has no foundation in the American music scene.

"Do I understand that you are willing to cooperate with Spike, Maria?"

"Why not if there's a chance?"

Facing the camera, this top diva who has always ignored Eminem praised Zhou Yi: "He is so talented, young and handsome, I don't think any musician can refuse to cooperate with him. .”

"What about Eminem?"

"Well, I don't really want to talk about him. There is nothing to say between me and him. Time will tell everything."

"If you had to choose between Eminem and Spike, who would you choose?"

"Well, it should be Spike. I like his music better. You know, I'm always looking forward to collaborating with excellent musicians."

Although there are some signs of going out of style this year, Mariah Carey, who is still expected to be on the Forbes Top Ten Celebrity List in terms of topicality, does not open her mouth. When she opens her mouth, the entire newspaper office is ecstatic——

Damn it!

Can this be said? !

Haven't you always kept silent about these two? !

This Eminem can't break the defense? !

He also specifically emphasized the importance of being an excellent musician. In a few meanings, does it mean that Eminem is not worthy?

Zhou Yi is already very popular in the United States, and Eminem is the only singer whose album sales have exceeded Zhou Yi's in the first week so far this year.

As soon as Mariah Carey's words came out, the American entertainment media directly divided into two directions, and they rushed to Eminem and Zhou Yi respectively.

At this moment, Canadian punk girl Avril Lavigne, who is still trying to get a single for herself, is no longer punk at all——

No, are you sick? !

Can you wait until I finish playing the single before we quarrel? !

Half a step into the world!

There is one more update, it must be before two o'clock, not three o'clock this time!
