China Entertainment 2000

"……are you sure?"

Qian Jiang, who was about to go to the underworld to plunder people, opened his mouth. After hesitating for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it back and persuaded, "You can definitely sing other old songs."

Composing music for ancient lyrics and articles, and creating new vitality in the form of modern pop songs that are different from those in textbooks is undoubtedly stressful in a sense.

Which of the ancient works that can be passed down to this day is not the best among the best. If a composer cannot do this well, he will be ridiculed by the crowd.

This is why there is such a shortcut here, but few people are willing to try it.

"Besides, "Young China Talk" is not "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". It is a prose written by Liang Qichao, with a lot of words. If you want to compose music, you have to add and subtract the lyrics first, which is even more thankless. .”

For Zhou Yi's sake, Qian Jiang still tried to persuade him to change his mind: "Don't you have other Chinese-style songs?"

The Sino-Korean Song Festival is no different from others. It is a serious official occasion, even if it means singing "Yellow Race" again last year.

"Or another new song?"

He felt reassured about Zhou Yi's writing of new songs, but when it came to Zhou Yi's composing music for "Young China", a prose of great significance... his evaluation was that there was no need to ask for trouble.

Although the music will indeed be praised if it is well written, but compared to the possible risks, it is not worth mentioning.

This is not a task given by an official invitation.

"Don't worry, if it's not suitable by then, I will replace it after making the demo."

Zhou Yi waved his hand nonchalantly: "Where is the recording studio in South Korea?"

"It's all ready. You can use it directly when you go over."

Knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, Qian Jiang didn't dwell on this anymore, and instead planned a response plan in his mind: "In addition, in addition to the album signing event after arriving in South Korea, the person in charge of Samsung Electronics wants to talk to you. Once you talk, Korean entertainment companies such as SM and DSP also want to invite you to participate in some activities.

"The person in charge of Nokia will also fly to South Korea to find you in half a month. Basically, you will choose from these two companies for your mobile phone endorsement.

"Although Samsung's price is currently higher, I personally think it is better to choose Nokia."

Qian Jiang, who was responsible for negotiating with the two companies, calmly gave his own judgment: "Samsung mobile phones are obviously inferior to Nokia, and they are in the position of a challenger. Samsung mobile phones do not have as much resource support as Nokia in Europe and the United States.

"And the Grammys, they need PR."

From Qianjiang's point of view, with Zhou Yi's strong performance in English major this time, no matter how biased he is, there will be at least a few Grammy nominations. But among Zhou Yi's current major endorsements, only Coca-Cola has the ability to go to the Grammys with Warner to help with public relations.

This is dangerous.

Next door, Sony and Universal are watching. If Warner fails to do its best and disappoints Zhou Yi, then there is no chance of renewing the contract in the future.

…………………………

"Xiba! Zhou Yi actually dares to come to our Republic of Korea for a book signing?!"

"Why don't you dare? Oppa Zhou Yi is an international superstar!"

"What about an international superstar? He's not just a thief?!"

"Asiba! Do you have the ability to say it again?! You are jealous! It's slander! Be careful if Oppa Zhou Yi sends you a lawyer's letter!"

"Even if I am punished, I will say that Zhou Yi is not as good as Zhang Guorong!"

"..."

December 7, 2002, 10:08 am.

After the two major Korean entertainment industry giants SM and DSP, South Korea's KBS TV station and Warner announced Zhou Yi's schedule in South Korea for a period of time in the future, the already lively Korean fan circle suddenly went into an uproar -

Those who pinch, those who pull and step on; those who move dirty materials, those who look forward to it.

The entire peninsula turned into a mess, and the quarrel was so intense that it was unique in Asia.

The fundamental reason is that many Koreans believe that Zhou Yi stole the fruits of victory in the World Cup between Korea and Japan, and despicably deceived the stupid Japanese to get the highlight moment that should belong to the Republic of Korea - the World Cup closing ceremony.

Before the World Cup, the number of people in South Korea's Black Week was not so large that it was the only one in Asia. After the World Cup, everything changed.

"The Chinese men's football team did not score a single goal in the World Cup. They did not organize this World Cup. As a Chinese, why was Zhou Yi able to perform at the closing ceremony of the World Cup?! Didn't he steal the quota from the Republic of Korea?!"

"If you don't tell me too much, you will steal and die!"

"Fart! Zhou Yi and Obama have reached the top in the United States. What's the problem with being at the closing ceremony of a World Cup?"

"That's right, are you An Qixuan's fans here pretending to be?"

"One thing to say is that Zhou Yi had not yet reached the top spot in the United States during the World Cup. There must be something wrong with this."

"..."

Some radicals, amidst the doubts of Zhouyi fans, decisively took out the Zhouyi CDs, tapes, posters and photo albums they had bought - they all had one thing in common, they were all cut in half with scissors.

Obviously, what they expressed was that Zhou Yi had disappointed them.

A large number of Korean people were not ashamed but proud of the 2002 World Cup semi-finals. They have always regarded themselves as the best results in the history of the World Cup among Asian countries.

After Japan gave up singing the closing ceremony song, many Koreans thought that Korean singers would shine on the big stage of the closing ceremony. However, they never thought that the last person to go up would be a Chinese named Zhou Yi.

What they didn't expect was that such a Zhou Yi would be protected by so many people. Since then, the black fans and the black fans have been fighting all the way up to now.

"You don't want the dignity of the Republic of Korea anymore?!"

"Zhou Yi and Oppa have penetrated the American music scene. Is there any shame in losing to him? Shouldn't it be our honor? Why do we have no one in the entertainment industry? Can we produce a singer like this if we have the ability?"

"..."

Originally, because of the fading popularity of the World Cup and the British College, the amount of discussion about Zhou Yi in South Korea has subsided, but now there is a quarrel again because of the joint announcement of the two entertainment giants SM and DSP.

Seoul Circuit.

After a car that had been modified at a high cost performed an extreme drift and turned a corner, the tires instantly rolled up endless smoke and dust——

Many people on the sidelines cheered, but the expressions on their faces were somewhat formulaic.

There is no other reason than that the person in that racing car is none other than Li Yinxin, the youngest daughter of the helmsman of Samsung Group and known as Samsung's most favored little princess.

After being familiar with the world, this group of women, who were already in their prime years, naturally discussed the recent hot event: Zhou Yi came to Korea.

The woman, who was wearing a racing suit and took off her helmet, vented her frustration at being scolded by netizens, then opened the car door, got out of the car and walked towards the rest area——

The short hair that fell to her shoulders swayed wildly with her steps, and the racing suit on her body did not reflect any competitive atmosphere at all.

"What are you looking at?"

"Zhou Yi, his plane has arrived, and KBS is broadcasting it live. It's tragic to think about it. He hasn't even landed yet, but he was scolded by many people."

A friend briefly explained Zhou Yi's situation. Li Yinxin, who has been scolded by Korean netizens for showing off his wealth and high-profile life on his personal blog, suddenly felt bored.

Isn't it just getting scolded? She has been used to being scolded for a long time.

"Hey, by the way, if I read correctly, Zhou Yi should be staying at the Shilla Hotel over your sister's side, right?" A friend looked at the scene in the live broadcast and turned around with a smile.

"Well, it should be."

Li Yinxin took a brief sip of water and looked up at the Sony TV in the rest area and nodded.

Don't ask why Sony, just ask because I'm in a bad mood today.

"Then can you help us go in and meet Zhou Yi? I like his song "BaBy" very much."

"Besides, he's been scolded so badly now that he probably won't have time to hold any special fan meeting for the time being."

Li Yinxin saves others by herself, but is too lazy to go to her sister: "Don't forget that he is a star. Warner's crisis public relations is very good. These days, he must be crazy about saying good things to eliminate the negative emotions among the people."

Even though she is a Samsung little princess, she was ordered by her father not to reply to netizens on her personal blog because it would have a bad impact on the Li family's image. Can a star like Zhou Yi be an exception?

Nearly fifteen minutes later, Zhou Yi, wearing sunglasses and a burgundy coat, appeared outside the red carpet of the Shilla Hotel accompanied by security personnel. The moment he got off the car, his tall and handsome posture instantly attracted the attention of many women in the rest area.

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! What do you think of the remarks against you in South Korea?"

"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, may I ask you about your fans..."

The reporters who swarmed Zhou Yi were no different from those he encountered when he was in Europe and the United States. They were all looking for trouble. Zhou Yi raised his hand and took off his sunglasses. He folded his temples with a smile and responded in English: "What do you think? Of course." I'm not embarrassed enough. To be honest, I'm curious, haven't all of them had enough to eat?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Li Yinxin, who was still holding the cup, moved her hands and looked at the high-spirited figure on the screen with disbelief——

"If you are interested, you can go and watch a show I participated in in Hong Kong. I said at that time that I need more anti-fans, because all the original anti-fans have become my fans. "

After hanging the folded sunglasses on the collar of the female reporter nearest to him, Zhou Yi smiled and reached out to tap the lens of the camera: "And, to be honest, at your current level, you want to irritate I’m still twenty thousand years too early.”
