Chapter 436 Ayi, You Have Made It (4k)
"Speak up! Heizi, speak up!"
"Where's the stutterer? Where's the horse face? Where's the ancient bragging?
"And those who say that Deng Lijun is the best in Asia, come here, let's talk about the fact that your idol doesn't even dare to come to the mainland to hold a concert. Zhou Yi dared to go to Taiwan, how could Deng Lijun only say good things on the stage back then?
"Don't tell me about schedule conflicts. She has time to travel around the world with her boyfriend, but she doesn't have time to arrange the free concert in the mainland that she has boasted about to death but never realized, right? She also wants to hold a concert in the Gate Square, why not go to heaven?
"Since 1982, every time they said that they had contacted and negotiated, there was a celebration banquet and a private dinner, but when it came to signing the contract, all kinds of so-called unexpected situations occurred, which made the trip to the mainland unsuccessful.
"Don't even mention concerts, even invitations to activities related to the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and invitations to the Spring Festival Gala were all rejected without exception.
"I thought it was a coincidence once or twice, but you told me it was an accident four, five, seven or eight times?
"She didn't even dare to come over to see her own aunt, and only dared to express that she missed her family through so-called TV interviews..."
Guangzhou, Xintang Town, near Xintang Cowboy City.
A factory manager with a cigarette in his mouth and a refreshing 3:7 bangs style, after get off work and dinner, sat in his rental house typing on the keyboard-
The TV in the living room was still playing a clear and melodious advertisement, and the lingering smoke gradually blurred his eyes that had been red from killing on the Internet. After confronting the four kings' black materials, he also dragged up a few unconvinced Deng Lijun fans: "The mainland has given face by not banning her and her songs. Don't you know whether she dares to come over? ”
If Wu Jian was a little bit lacking in confidence when confronting Deng Lijun’s fans before, now Zhou Yi’s achievements have given him the means to fight back——
“I won’t say anything about the messy spy theory, lest you accuse me of spreading rumors, I will just talk about two people:
“Liu Dehua made a public mistake in 1993 when he was playing with a military knife in Taiwan and then participated in a global live broadcast of a disaster relief charity concert at the Great Hall, but we can still be generous and let bygones be bygones;
“Zhou Xingchi wanted to immigrate to Canada in 1993, but was rejected by the Canadian Immigration Bureau, and was rejected twice in a row. In the end, the mainland still treated it as nothing happened.
“Friendly reminder, because the immigration failed and the reason for being involved in gangs was announced, Zhou Xingchi was so angry that he directly sued the Canadian Immigration Bureau in court. The lawsuit was not lost until the end of 2000. Even so, the mainland still maintained an attitude of letting bygones be bygones against him, as long as he was honest and didn’t make trouble, so he could even enter Peking University for publicity.
“Where is your Deng Lijun?
"When Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi were doing these things, your Deng Lijun was still alive and kicking on the stage. Did you know that? Why didn't she dare to come?
"By the way, your idol went to Japan and was caught by the Japanese authorities and thrown into a detention center because she used an irregular but authentic Indonesian passport to enter the country. If someone hadn't bailed her out, tut tut.
"But your idol is really tough, just like she never came to the mainland. Even until her death, she kept silent about where this irregular but authentic Indonesian official passport came from..."
Wu Jian, who is 28 years old this year, talked about the various newspaper reports he saw at the time, and even posted those materials at the time very considerately, directly suppressing those champion fans who like to follow the trend to praise Deng Lijun-
He didn't know whether it was true or not, anyway, it was the case. If you want to refute it, you must explain all the puzzles before arguing with me.
As the oldest among Zhou Yi's fans, Wu Jian, who has always been chasing trends, can be said to be knowledgeable.
Because he is a supervisor of a denim factory and often does business with foreigners to negotiate orders, his appreciation for Zhou Yi is actually more inclined to English songs-
He had poor academic performance since he was young, but he had to learn English hard in order to live a better life. It was also because of this language skill package that he was able to stand out from the group of migrant workers in the south, was valued by the factory boss, and became a supervisor after several years of training.
As he spent more and more time in contact with foreigners, he gradually made some foreign friends and came into contact with foreign music through them.
It is also because of this that he knows more about how awesome Zhou Yi's achievement is than many Zhou Yi fans in China-to put it more grandly, it is a historic breakthrough for the yellow race, from 0 to 1.
Don't tell me that there are Asians in the Lincoln Park band. It is a problem whether they recognize it themselves or not. They did not grow up in the same cultural circle. Don't force it, there will be no good results.
To this end, Wu Jian skillfully opened Mop.com while listening to Zhou Yi's latest English single "Shots" which he had bought, and wrote a long article inspired by his feelings -
"When will Zhou Yi be the number one in Asia? Today!"
"I have never seen Michael Jackson at the age of 22, I have never seen Elvis at the age of 22, and I have never seen the Beatles at the age of 22, but I have seen Zhou Yi at the age of 22.
"Let me put it here. As long as Zhou Yi's second English album is not bad, he will live up to the expectations of the world music scene. Even if his fourth Chinese album to be released in the second half of the year is a piece of shit, he can still win many awards and sweep Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan..."
The second English album determines whether Zhou Yi can maintain this B-level status in the public opinion field.
More than 95% of the awards ceremony in 2003 watched the singer's album released in 2002.
According to the quality of Zhou Yi's album "Lianshan" last year, I would like to ask you, in this kind of public opinion environment, which award ceremony jury can withstand the pressure and balance and not give Zhou Yi an award?
Wu Jian thinks there is none.
Thinking of this, after appreciating an article of his own, Wu Jian, who clicked on the post button, narrowed down the webpage, started to log in and play Legend, and also called the brother he met in the game -
"Hello? Boss, remember to save me a copy of Zhou Yi's English album when the time comes."
Thanks to Zhou Yi's current popularity, Wu Jian, who was going to work, did not think that he would be able to grab Zhou Yi's genuine album at the first time. Because the jeans industry in Xintang is popular nationwide and even internationally, a large number of young people who come here to work have gathered here -
Many of them rely on their youth and willingness to learn to make money, and many of them are Zhou Yi's fans.
Buying a genuine album can be said to be a drop in the bucket for them, so referring to the previous experience, several large record stores in Xintang will definitely sell out at the first time.
He can't wait to restock.
"No problem, it's just a piece of cake, come on, log in..."
The elder brother who had connections in Warner's agency channel readily agreed. Wu Jian, who was about to take the elder brother to have a good time, heard a familiar name from the speakers of the TV in the living room the next second-
"Good evening, dear audience friends."
"Good evening."
"Today is Tuesday, February 25th, welcome to watch the "News Network" program."
"The main content of this program is: my country's young singer Zhou Yi has made good news recently, and has achieved a historic breakthrough in Chinese pop music and even Asian pop music in New York, USA..."
"..."
Pah.
The cigarette that Wu Jian had been holding in his mouth fell to the ground, but he didn't react at all-
He still widened his eyes in disbelief, watching the two hosts in suits and leather shoes on the TV screen reciting the main news in an extremely standard broadcasting tone.
Three seconds later, he came back to his senses-
WTF TF TF TF TF TF TF!!!
What the hell? !
Zhou Yi is on the "News Network"? !
Same time, different places.
All local officials who were watching the program immediately read the signal represented by the content of this news - as a news program with extremely compact time and content, Zhou Yi actually occupied a full 33 seconds!
From 19:21:03 to 19:21:36.
The last mainland cultural and sports figure who received the treatment of a single person report and whose single-person continuous reporting time exceeded 30 seconds was the chess saint Nie Weiping who defeated three Japanese generals in the first Sino-Japanese Go Challenge in 1985 and reversed the total score from 5:7 to 8:7 -
From 1985 to 2003, a full 18 years!
At this moment, the entertainment industry was even more shocked - the news that Zhou Yi appeared on the "News Broadcast" swept the entire industry like a tornado almost immediately.
"Ayi! You have made it!"
In a luxurious billiard hall in New York, the United States.
Zhou Yi, who was holding the waist of the woman who claimed to be a quasi-Victoria's Secret supermodel with his right hand, held the pool cue with one hand. After feeling the vibration of his mobile phone, he took it out and took a look, then pressed the answer button.
Even though the dance floor below was noisy, Zhou Yi still heard it clearly - the excited Qian Jiang's voice was so loud that he didn't have to worry about not being able to hear clearly.
"Hey, honey, it's your turn."
The cool-dressed blonde model moved the man's chin with her fingers, raised her head slightly, and looked up at him.
"Sorry, sweetheart, although I also want to continue to fight with you, I have to go back to deal with work first."
Zhou Yi, who lowered his head slightly and kissed the woman's red lips, separated immediately, smiled and waved to the bodyguard standing beside him, who immediately threw a sequined suit jacket over him.
The next second, Zhou Yi, who put the suit on his shoulders, turned around and chose to leave without any nostalgia.
"Spike? Hey Spike, is our agreement tonight still valid?"
"Of course."
Zhou Yi kept walking and turned his back to the woman and his teammates without looking back, raised his hand and waved: "I never lie to people, especially women."
"..."
Forty minutes later, Qian Jiang, who was in the Warner Building and Zhou Yi's lounge, looked at the man who had changed his clothes with a strange expression. After a long silence, he said: "So, you didn't go back to the hotel last night?"
"I went back, I definitely went back."
Zhou Yi, who was adjusting the buttons of his shirt, turned around and smiled as he echoed his agent's words: "If you don't believe me, you can ask my bodyguard or driver."
"Don't play with these modeling people. I checked. This woman is indeed preparing to go to Victoria's Secret, but there are so many women who want to go to Victoria's Secret. I don't think she can make it. Her style is not as good as her good sister Alessandra Ambrosio, who is already a supermodel.
"She is just using your fame."
Qian Jiang had a headache when talking about this.
Who would have thought that Zhou Yi, a dog coin, actually used a blog to make an offline appointment with someone? It's outrageous.
"I know, what's the big deal?"
Zhou Yi smiled indifferently: "But you know what, her so-called good sister named Alessandra Ambrosio is really good. ”
Alessandra Ambrosio, a rising star in the supermodel world who has soared to the sky since 2001. One of the future top Victoria's Secret supermodels, domestic fans affectionately call her AA.
Qian Jiang: "......? ? ? "
Is this my main point???
Hmm? Wait a minute--
No.
Why are you still thinking about other people's good sisters?
"Forget it, I called you back not only to accept a brief interview with CCTV reporters, but also because the project leader of "Pirates of the Caribbean" at Disney has completed the rough cut, and they invited you to watch the movie to facilitate your writing of the theme song. "
Qian Jiang, who accepted his fate to wipe Zhou Yi's ass, still introduced the work seriously: "In addition, the people from Victoria's Secret contacted me, and they want to invite you to watch the Victoria's Secret show in November this year. "
"People from Victoria's Secret? Do I have any intersection with them? "Zhou Yi was quite surprised.
He didn't know any Victoria's Secret supermodels, and the one next to him was only a potential Victoria's Secret supermodel, and her Victoria's Secret bestie had only seen photos of her.
"You don't have one, but the one you posted on your blog before [Look at the legs] does."
Qian Jiang spread his hands innocently: "Although I was also quite surprised, according to the investigation, the company that operates the Victoria's Secret show is obviously well versed in the way of popularity. For them, you were invited to watch the show as a Chinese by Victoria's Secret, which is not only a gimmick, but also a good opportunity to expand the market base and popularity.
"Of course, the most important thing is that you are famous.
"So, after you publicly responded to the message of the potential Victoria's Secret supermodel, the people of Victoria's Secret noticed you. Now that you are so popular, they will naturally want to give it a try. ”
There were so many models who wanted to attract Zhou Yi's attention before, how did the only one who responded publicly stand out?
After some investigation, the answer is self-evident - she said she was going for Victoria's Secret.
In recent days, European and American public opinion circles have found a pattern -
If you scold Zhou Yi under his blog, he will definitely not reply to you.
But if you bring photos to surf and say you want to get to know him, then maybe there is a chance to improve together.
It is for this reason that Zhou Yi's blog is now filled with various models who come to pursue their dreams every day - or actresses who really want to improve. The female singer said she was preparing for the Oscars and Grammys.
The photos sent to Zhou Yi privately were all very refreshing.
Don't ask, it's just that New York is a bit hot in February.
After nearly half a month in the United States, Zhou Yi, with her unique style and personality, has become the object of public fantasy for many European and American women, along with Disney's fugitive prince Justin Timberlake.
Being a scumbag is not a problem, as long as I have slept with you, I can brag about it for the rest of my life.
Bad boy, genius playboy, these labels give women a great sense of psychological achievement and satisfaction.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."
Seeing that Zhou Yi was about to change clothes to accept a brief interview with CCTV reporters, Qian Jiang slapped his forehead and said, "The first batch of your new album has been delivered and will be released on time on March 1. In addition to appearing on shows and radio stations, you will also have to run more offline music festivals and music venues. I have already contacted them for you. ”
In the United States, if a new album wants to sell well, it is essential to go to various offline venues more often.
Unlike the autograph sessions in Hong Kong and handshake meetings in Taiwan, music festivals and small music medleys are the mainstream offline venues in the United States-
Especially since Zhou Yi's new album is a rock type.
This is simply designed to kill offline.
"Okay, I know--"
Knock knock knock.
Before Zhou Yi finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of the room-
The next second, a gentleman in a suit who saw Zhou Yi as if he had seen a savior suddenly changed his face: "Spike, I beg you, Spike, can you not be so willful next time you release an album? How can you bear to put so many good songs in one album. "
Little Edgar's face was almost twisted into a bitter gourd.
Little Edgar, who has a very high talent for art, is also a songwriter himself. Although he is not talented, he has also won a small sales champion and the top of the charts in the two major markets of the United States and Japan.
When Zhou Yi's new album was finished recording, he was still leading the PR with Zhou Jianhui and had no time to listen to it. As a result, after listening to it, he almost wanted to fire all the idiots on the Warner board - but thinking that Warner was not his yet, he had to give up.
God, Jesus, Mary, Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, who the hell was responsible for reviewing this album at Warner headquarters? !
This can pass? !
