China Entertainment 2000

As we all know, Zhou Yi is not a player who particularly loves cars and watches, and he has never purchased any luxury cars since he became famous.

Therefore, when Huang Zhan took the initiative to announce the news himself, it somewhat shocked the domestic surfing netizens——

"Damn it! Old Man Huang is actually being serious?"

"I thought he was joking, but now he tells me it's not a joke?"

"It's so awesome, I'll give it to you directly as a Ferrari..."

"..."

A brand new Ferrari is not cheap these days. Ferrari's latest F360 basically costs several million when it is launched. This is one of the reasons why Sun Yanzi has "epilepsy".

Although she can't afford the latest mass-produced Ferrari with her current income, she is still reluctant to spend the money.

too expensive.

"No, wait a minute, why don't I know about this?"

After being read a comment by Sun Yanzi who was surfing the Internet, Zhou Yi felt a little strange.

Shouldn't Huang Zhan contact him first if he wants to deliver a car?

What about configuration?

Isn’t it optional for Ferrari?

"Because he said it when he was asked when he came out for an interview after watching the movie tonight. It hasn't even been published in the newspapers yet. It was just circulated on the Internet first. You also know how powerful news is on the Internet."

Sun Yanzi, who talked about the movie "Hero", was obviously a little excited: "The movie premiered today and is said to be very popular. Many people went to the cinema to watch it. I also plan to find time to watch it after returning to the imperial capital. , the producer’s promotional slogan is China’s first commercial blockbuster.

"Don't give me spoilers, I know you've watched the whole movie."

"..."

Hearing Sun Yanzi's excitement, Zhou Yi on the other end of the phone opened his mouth but stopped talking.

Forget it, let’s not dampen her enthusiasm.

As the first commercial blockbuster in China, the plot of "Hero" was so weak that it would have been criticized by the majority of movie fans even in 2002. The reason why there is so much criticism right now is simply because all media outlets have been shocked by the various box office performances of "Hero", which has prevented the mainstream public opinion from criticizing "Hero" from fermenting.

In fact, because of the blessing of the promotional song "The King of Elephants" this time, the first-day box office of "Hero" was far higher than Zhou Yi had imagined——

The three-day box office reached an astonishing 49.8 million, and Guangdong alone contributed more than 11 million in three days!

This made all the experts and industry insiders who had made predictions about the box office of "Hero" drop their jaws in shock!

"The total number of theaters in China is just over 1,000, and the total number of screens is only over 1,800. According to our advance prediction, if the three-day box office can reach 35 million, it will be considered a high success. And judging from the current reviews on the Internet Look, there are many people who walked into the cinema because of Zhouyi..."

Zhang Weiping excitedly put the box office report on the table, and his old partner Zhang Yimou also showed a heartfelt smile of relief when he saw this number.

49.8 million, the box office in just three days has already beaten the box office of every Lunar New Year champion movie in the past. This is enough for him. It is a sure thing to break the record. The next time is to watch the final of "Hero" How far can it impact?

"The influence of the Book of Changes is indeed great, and there will be holidays such as Christmas and New Year's Day. We should have succeeded, Yimou."

Zhang Yimou nodded: "I will personally call Zhou Yi's Daoxi phone number. Then you can see if you can give him a red envelope."

Although they have recovered the cost by selling various overseas rights before the movie is released, it will be difficult for him to raise his head if the domestic box office performance is not good. After all, this movie is of great significance.

7.2 million to create such a large-scale publicity effect is a great value for money.

However, while New Picture, China Film and other companies were still busy popping champagne, the garbage comments about the plot of "Heroes" on the Internet began to gradually appear as time went by.

What caused a heated discussion in a small area was undoubtedly a post that popped up on Tianya——

"A bad movie makes a great song, this is my evaluation of the hero, and Zhou Yi's propaganda was in vain."

A user whose registered ID is I Love to Eat Rice discussed in detail the plot weaknesses he noticed after watching "Hero" in this article, and directly rated the movie as useless.

"The performance is exaggerated and colorful. My evaluation is that it is enough to watch the official video of Zhouyi's pure music promotion song. There is no need to go to the cinema to watch it..."

Because of the sharp comments, it directly resonated with many people——

"I think so too. At first I thought Zhou Yi had written a song to promote it, and wanted to see what was going on. But later I found out that Zhou Yi's promotional song would be enough for the whole movie."

"The color is actually good. They are the only two advantages. Tanton failed this time. His pure music is not as good as Zhouyi's promotional song."

"Indeed, I didn't feel that Zhou Yi's song at first, but now the more I listen to it, the more I listen to it. I can't tell that he has a talent for pure music..."

"Zhou Yi, this bad guy, earned a Ferrari again with this song. Where are the others?"

"Zhou Yi, this bitch, is so cool in Korea right now. He sleeps with Korean celebrities in different ways every day..."

"real or fake……"

On December 20, five days after the release of "Hero", along with the rising box office, the polarizing movie reviews on the Internet began to gradually affect the offline print media, and even led to the only movie that has been widely recognized by many parties. Zhouyi Hotness——

Then, Zhou Yi's scandal, which had been temporarily dormant for a while because he left the country, was unearthed again, and this time, compared to other scandals, it shocked the public even more!

"Zhou Yi is suspected of dating a girl group member in South Korea"

"Girl Group Killer?" Former Korean girl group members Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri are suspected of turning against each other because of the Book of Changes! 》

"Zhou Yi is suspected of holding hands and falling in love with a member of the Korean Elephant Group family?" 》

"Trying Two Boats?" Zhou Yi met privately with Li Yinxin, the youngest daughter of Samsung’s helmsman”

"..."

"Damn it! Why did you go to South Korea and turn the Korean girl group into enemies?"

"Is this the point? Shouldn't the point be Elephant Group and Samsung Group?"

"I have never seen the world and don't know the Elephant Group, but this Samsung...is it the Korean Samsung I know?"

"You dare to hook up with Zhou Yi, a descendant of a big conglomerate family? As expected of him, I saw the right person."

"My aunt's youngest daughter's neighbor is a Korean student. According to him, Zhou Yi was scolded badly in Korea. Especially after these news came out, many people criticized him and all stood against him."

"..."

For domestic netizens, it has long been an open secret that Zhou Yi is good at hooking up with girls, but no one thought that he could actually hook up with the top-class women in South Korea.

In response, most male netizens uncharacteristically agreed and shouted that Zhou Yi did a great job and that he was bringing glory to the country.

A small number of truth-seeking netizens also went out of their way to trace the authenticity of the report. After discovering that it was actually a translated local Korean newspaper, they all gave a thumbs up——

That's really awesome.

Picking up domestic actresses is not a skill, but having sex with foreign actresses is a real man!

What is an international superstar?

"I'd like to reiterate, I don't know what happened between Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri. Miss Sung Yuri and I did have dinner together, but so what?"

South Korea, Seoul.

Zhou Yi was immediately surrounded by reporters when he came out of the recording studio, forcing him to take the initiative to refute the rumors about the "girl group killer" incident.

Two days ago, on December 18, Korean media broke the news that former girl group member Sung Yuri and Zhou Yi stayed in a hotel for a day and a night. Lee Hyori privately scolded her for being shameless. The long-standing sisterly relationship fell apart in an instant. DSP company urgently refuted the rumor and said it was false.

"Miss Cheng Youli is kind-hearted. Knowing that I had just arrived in Seoul, she kindly acted as a tour guide for a few days and took me around the city's scenic spots as a courtesy."

"Then what's going on when you guys enter the hotel together?"

Zhou Yi squinted at the reporter: "It was so boring after the trip, so I just taught her some Chinese entertainment methods of playing poker. What's the problem?"

"...Where is the Elephant Group?"

"It's completely untrue. I just learned a little bit about the application of Korean. Is there any problem with learning foreign languages?"

"..."

Qian Jiang, who was responsible for escorting him, could not help but sweat his palms——

"Is Li Yinxin's contact with you related to the possible Samsung endorsement agreement?"

"No, no comment, thank you."

Today, Samsung Mobile’s contact with Zhou Yi is no longer a secret in South Korea. It is difficult to say whether Li Yinxin’s appearance is related to the endorsement. This is also regarded by the outside world as Li Yinxin seems to want to enter the family business. evidence.

But in fact, Li Yinxin only acted as an intermediary between her brother's team and Zhou Yi himself at the beginning, and chatted with Zhou Yi twice more, that's all.

"Samsung's offer has now been raised to US$1.5 million for one year and US$6 million for four years. Nokia followed suit and added US$500,000 to US$2 million for the same period of time, US$8 million for four years."

After getting in the car, Qian Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and told the two most competitive mobile phone endorsement quotes. He paused for a moment and looked at Zhou Yi with a particularly strange look: "Also, Elephant Group and South Korea's Nongshim Group have tentatively extended an olive branch to you.

"I understand Nongshim Group. After all, their most famous product is Shin Ramyun, so it makes sense that they would like you to endorse it. There is also a market for this product in our country.

"But this Elephant... Their main business is making various fermented seasonings, such as chili sauce, which have not yet entered the domestic market. Why are they asking you to endorse them? You can't really sleep with the leader of their group. Female - uh, illegitimate daughter."

"Correction, that's called learning a foreign language."

Regarding his agent's question, which was called a question but was actually a statement, Zhou Yi, who was lying on his seat and twisting his waist comfortably, gave an answer that made him unstoppable.

God damn learn a foreign language!

Forget it in front of the media, you still pretended to be in front of me, right?

Qian Jiang shook his head helplessly: "Elephant Group wants you to endorse chili sauce. The first reason given by the other party is because you can eat spicy food. They gave you 500,000 US dollars a year. If you are willing to sign for three years, then the three 1.6 million per year;

"As for Nongshim's Shin Ramen, they have a close relationship with our country. For example, the Nongshim Cup in the Go competition is sponsored by them. The current endorsement contract is 600,000 US dollars a year. If you are willing to sign for three years, then the three 2 million per year.”

The endorsement fee for this kind of food product has never been very high. Being able to give Zhou Yi this price is based on his face and appeal as an international superstar. Otherwise, the settlement unit would not be US dollars but RMB.

This price made Zhou Yi, who was used to seeing large sums of money, a little uncomfortable for a while.

But then I thought about it. At this stage, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB is basically maintained at around 1:8, which is not bad.

It would be unrealistic for such a food-grade brand to have an endorsement contract worth tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

"You two can talk about it. It doesn't matter if the talk breaks down. It's just this phone, isn't it too low?" Zhou Yi, whose focus was still on the phone, frowned slightly.

"In the current international mobile phone market, your price is already in the high-spec range. You obviously can't touch the highest-spec phone now."

It could be seen that Zhou Yi was not satisfied with the price. After explaining it, Qian Jiang joked: "Of course, if you can sleep with that Samsung little princess later, then I estimate that your endorsement fee will definitely skyrocket." .

"After all, she is not an illegitimate daughter. She has a proper name. I think the last two times you talked were quite good and quite congenial."

Zhou Yi raised his middle finger at him: "Get out of here."

His illegitimate girlfriend from the Elephant Group is having a party at the bar tonight, and Zhou Yi, who has just had an in-depth exchange with her about what Korean names are, will naturally not refuse the invitation.

As one of her sisters, Li Yinxin was also invited to go.

……………………………………………

"Having said that, I still can't stay too long tonight. There have been a lot of discussions about me recently, and my parents ordered me not to go back too late."

Seoul, inside a booked bar.

Faced with the plastic sisters' attempts to retain her, Li Yinxin, who was well-dressed, put down the wine glass in her hand and shrugged: "You also know that they take reputation very seriously. At least the superficial skills must be in place."

"About Zhou Yi?"

"more than."

When Li Yinxin said this, she immediately chose to remain silent. While her sisters went to greet the others, she sat at the bar drinking alone -

To be honest, she was scolded by many people on the Internet last night because of her Ferrari. She was so depressed that she almost couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, but she didn't have the guts to scold people against her parents' wishes.

Whenever this happens, she always thinks of Zhou Yi who does whatever he wants in the news.

It’s so damn funny, an artist who relies on his fans to make a living—

I really get angrier the more I think about it!

"Hey, hey, come one by one, don't worry, your signatures will all be there, okay?"

Suddenly, before Li Yinxin could wake up from her anger, a slightly frivolous voice reached her ears.

He raised his eyes and looked around. Zhou Yi, who looked like a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes, was surrounded by many people. He was writing happily with a signature pen in his hand——

"What? You want me to write it on your underwear? Come on, I won't do that.

"Shoulder strap? That's ok..."

The smile on his face happens to be what Li Yinxin hates the most right now - because she doesn't have it.

It wasn't until Zhou Yi finished dealing with the crowd of signatures that he turned to look at Li Yinxin, who had been looking at him before, with a smile on his face: "So, after looking at me for so long, do you also want to sign? "

"What, is it possible that you want to sign my shoulder strap?"

The woman bent her elbow, leaned on the bar with one elbow, smiled indifferently, lowered her head and took a sip of wine: "If so, you can come and try it."

"It sounds like you're not in a good mood."

"This is all thanks to you, Mr. Zhou. Thanks to you, my father now knows what the newspapers are talking about."

"Well, you're welcome."

After reaching out and grabbing a glass of martini from the passing bartender's tray, Zhou Yi walked to the bar and sat down, shaking the glass and smiling, "If you need any compensation, Miss Li, you can just ask for it."

"What do you mean? You want to make it up to me?"

Li Yinxin put down the wine glass in her hand and looked him up and down: "Did I hear you correctly?"

"What you may have misunderstood about compensation, it's just out of humanitarian sympathy."

"Yeah……"

Li Yinxin put down the wine glass in her hand, rested her elbow on the marble bar table, looked sideways at him, her eyes gradually became playful, and then she reached out and pulled out a simple business card from her handbag: "If you really have this If you don't mind, how about coming over and being my pet?

"In this case, my mood will most likely improve, and my father will also have a good explanation."

"Sounds like a very tempting suggestion."

After hearing this, Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked sideways at her. Their eyes met, and the corner of the mouth curled up in a playful arc: "However, I think the other way around seems more appropriate."

As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand and took the simple business card held between the woman's fingers. After removing the cap of the rollerball pen, he crossed out Li Yinxin's name on it and wrote his own Chinese name elegantly——

Then he handed it to the woman again, tilted his head slightly, looked at her with a smile and said, "How about you come and be my pet?"

"..."

Without even looking at the smeared business card, Li Yinxin chuckled twice after being silent for a long time: "Has anyone ever told you that you are actually quite boring?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yi pretended not to understand and flew the business card out. He put his elbows on the bar and looked at the not-so-dense flow of people in front of him to see if any unlucky guy would be cut.

"Have you asked my dad if you want me to be your pet?"

"As you say, I have many enemies, including your father."

"You know, sometimes I really wonder where your inexplicable self-confidence comes from? You scold your seniors in your country, you scold your most popular colleagues when you go abroad, and you don't even care about the accusations made by Korean netizens. "

"Because I don't rely on them for food."

After all, Zhou Yi, who didn't see any unlucky guy being slashed before the business card landed, curled his lips: "So, what if they are all my enemies outside?"

"Aren't you afraid of being crushed to death by your enemies?"

"There are so many people who want to be my enemy. Japan says it's Utada Hikaru, you Korea says it's Lee Jung-hyun, and the United States says it's Eminem. Everyone says they are my enemy."

Zhou Yi's tone was disdainful, and Li Yinxin clicked her tongue twice with a pitiful look on her face: "Everyone wants to be your enemy? Why don't you just write a song to ask for peace? Learn from me, shut up and save yourself a few scoldings." "

"How did you know I wrote it?"

Zhou Yi turned his head and glanced at her: "But it's impossible for you to imitate Miss Li. You have a tough life and you can't learn how to bend down."

"..."

Li Yinxin showed a polite smile: "I hope your life is half as tough as your words, Mr. Zhou Yi."

"Each other."

Zhou Yi stretched out half of his waist comfortably: "When this song is released, you may know how hard I am."

At the same time, Qian Jiang, who was sorting out documents for Zhou Yi, solemnly put a demo plate with "Enemy" written on it into an important document bag.
