Chapter 714 MVP Settlement Screen

"Three! Two! One!"

Bang bang bang! ! !

"Wuhu!"

Fireworks filled the sky along with cheers, and the huge Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Los Angeles suddenly fell into a joyful atmosphere.

As the most famous city within a city in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills is a representative landmark of extreme luxury. The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, this top hotel located in Beverly Hills, became a foil for a person tonight——

"Spike!"

"Spike!"

"Spike!"

In the huge hotel corridor, Zhou Yi, who stepped onto the red carpet with colorful ribbons flying in the sky, was pushed out by Warner staff led by Warner president Edgar Jr. and his own agent Qian Jiang, and was forced to enjoy the host. A series of "secondary" titles that Conan gave himself -

"Gentlemen and ladies, let us welcome with the warmest applause the dream man of women around the world, the savior of the recording industry, the emperor of Warner Music, the greatest musician, singer and dreamer of the 21st century - Spike ·week!!!"

Conan Christopher O'Brien used his years of experience hosting talk shows to read out the man's opening lines in a cadence. On both sides of the red carpet, all the guests and reporters were following his rhythm, and applause and cheers came one after another.

They promised to walk the red carpet together, but in the end, Zhou Yi was alone. He could only walk forward among the middle-class names, raising his hands to greet the guests or reporters on both sides of the red carpet from time to time.

"Cool, I like this copywriting." Scarlett Johansson stood up on tiptoes to give him a kiss on the side of his face in full view of everyone, and congratulated him in his ear.

"Thank you, dear, but obviously this is not my decision." Zhou Yi couldn't laugh or cry, but he still walked all the way -

Well, I was kissed all the way.

None of the Victoria's Secret supermodel team said anything, not even Elva Hsiao, Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue, Kelly Brook, Avril Lavigne, Norah Jones, Beyoncé and others who came to congratulate them. If you look at him, he looks like a stamp collector.

Rihanna, who got off to a good start with "Boom Boom Pow", was not even worthy of being on the table among this group of women. She could only stand in the second row and watch helplessly. It was Zhou Yi who hit her after seeing her. Waved, she smiled happily.

The reporters present were somewhat jealous when they saw it——

You bitch, your lips are grinning to the back of your head. So many famous women are kissing you together, and you still pretend to be flirtatious?

Two days later, the sales volume of "Listen/Future Sounds", which was released only one month ago, officially exceeded 5.5 million copies in the United States, setting a record for the highest first-month sales in the American music scene in the 21st century - this is the first record of the previous two albums. Something that even Zhou Yi could not do.

Of course, this may also be said in another way - it is precisely because of the solid foundation laid by the first two albums that Zhou Yi's third album has maximized sales and profits at the fastest speed.

Although Eminem also broke his personal record with this wave of popularity and made a huge profit of four million in the first month, he still lost the competition completely - he didn't even have the nerve to hold a celebration party.

Even, according to a well-informed source, his condition has become more serious. Now I am taking drugs every day, and I have to take a lot of drugs to fall asleep.

Moreover, even if he fell asleep, he would still have nightmares from time to time - judging from the fact that all his sleep talk was "Spike XXX", I am afraid that the dreams were all about the misfortunes Zhou Yi had brought to him.

"First of all, I want to call out Ed, this is not what he told me about the celebration in advance."

Hugs from men, kisses from women.

After walking hard all the way, Zhou Yi finally stepped onto the center of the stage, took the microphone from the host Conan, and first touched the prodigal son in the audience who was still applauding him, and then touched his manager's money. Jiang: “Also, this copy was definitely written by Leo.”

The two people in the audience laughed very happily.

"And--forget it, screw the precautions, have a great time tonight, and Ed will pay for everything!"

Zhou Yi took out a piece of paper from his pocket. The crowd who thought he would give a lengthy victory speech cheered as he tore up the paper. The exciting music belonging to his third major sounded. This is the world's top luxury hotel. It suddenly became a paradise for partying and carnival!

Zhou Yi, who was the absolute star attraction, was surrounded by men and women one after another, saying congratulations, exchanging contact information, ogling, leaving room numbers, passing small notes, and so on.

As long as he wants, he can directly invite one or more beautiful female models and celebrities to discuss and exchange skills together on the spot, or even unlock the three-way achievement together that night, even if they may have only met Zhou Yi tonight.

Winner takes all, this is the reality in the entertainment industry, not to mention that this is the more naked American entertainment industry.

Unexpectedly, Rihanna, the little country girl from Barbados, has now transformed into a newcomer that Warner is focusing on cultivating. Before she officially debuted, she has caught up with the towering tree of Zhou Yi.

His outstanding performance in "Boom Boom Pow" made many Zhouyi fans and passers-by remember this undebuted newcomer who Warner claims has a "diamond tone".

As long as this little girl doesn't seek death or break up with Zhou Yi, with the support of a boss who can handle all lyrics and music single-handedly, the future will be smooth to the naked eye.

I don’t know how many newcomers and even tepid veterans are envious of this newcomer’s luck——

With Zhou Yi here, to put it bluntly, even a tied dog can win.

This man is too strong.

Didn’t you see that little Edgar, who has always been known as a sinkhole, can win after trading?

The female singers who originally wanted to sell their music after Madonna left Warner Bros. now feel regretful.

In their view, if they had agreed to Little Edgar's invitation, the favor and resources Rihanna received at this moment would have been invested in them.

"Congratulations, you look very lucky tonight."

Elva Hsiao, who came with champagne, still couldn't hide her tiredness on her face, but her tone was still as joyful as ever, and she even didn't forget to joke: "The way those women look at you, they want to skin you and eat you."

"What about you?" Zhou Yi took the champagne with a smile, clinked glasses with it and said with a smile.

"Don't look for me. I'm very tired. If I hadn't come to your celebration party, I would be on my way to Canada right now. I have to walk and perform as much as possible before returning to China." If it were normal, then Elva Hsiao It will definitely take a while.

But now, she can't be tough.

The quality of people cannot be generalized. She thinks that her physical fitness is pretty good, but Zhou Yi is obviously at the "beast" level.

Zhou Yi, who heard this, was impressed: "I can't tell, you are also like today, and your ideological consciousness is quite high."

Elva Hsiao rolled her eyes at him: "Don't stand and talk without pain in your back. Not everyone is as energetic as you."

Zhou Yi also performed road shows and variety shows in the past, but his mental state was obviously much better than hers.

Zhou Yi smiled and took a sip of champagne. Before he could speak, the lights suddenly dimmed——

Edgar Jr., the president of Warner and the head of the Bronfman Consortium, who had withdrawn from the carnival, slowly pushed a huge ice sculpture of "550" to the center under the spotlight.

With just one glance, everyone understood what was coming next.

"spike! come on!"

Little Edgar, who was pushing the cart himself, held the microphone and greeted him.

Elva Hsiao bumped into the less excited man with her shoulder, her eyes full of smiles: "Go, this is your moment of glory."

The camera swept over and Zhou Yi sighed helplessly.

Sometimes he really didn't know why these people were so keen on smashing ice sculptures.

"Knock it open Spike, you might get a surprise."

After Zhou Yi took the stage, little Edgar mysteriously came to his ear and whispered with a smile.

Zhou Yi, who didn't understand why, casually smashed the ice sculpture with a hammer. The next second, the two car keys embedded in the base were diffusely reflected into the pupils of everyone present along with the ice crystals in the sky!

A Porsche and a Cadillac.

Two songs immediately sounded at the scene——

"Unstoppable" and "That's What I Like."

"Gentlemen and ladies, as the CEO of Warner Records, I am honored to announce here that Porsche and Cadillac will send a congratulatory gift to our music emperor tonight!"

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Edgar Jr. invited the two group presidents to come onto the stage and shake hands with Zhou Yi, who was also kept in the dark.

Damn it? !

Cadillac and Porsche double endorsement? !

Everyone under the stage was shocked.

We all work in the entertainment industry, and we all know the virtues of celebrity business endorsements.

Generally speaking, if a person endorses a brand, he usually cannot serve as the spokesperson for another brand in the same industry. This is the so-called endorsement exclusivity.

What's more, it's Porsche and Cadillac who are looking for Zhou Yi this time.

A real luxury brand.

Although one makes sports cars and the other makes sedans, SUVs and other models, they are indeed not competitors in the segmented fields according to strict classification, but they are all part of the facade of the automobile industry.

Even Zhou Yi himself did not expect that he would actually receive a non-exclusive contract from these two companies and become a true dual-brand spokesperson.

What is a surprise?

This is a fucking surprise!

This kind of double spokesperson contract in the same industry cannot be said to be rare, at least it can be said to be extremely rare.

In Zhou Yi's impression, only Chenglong, a domestic star, has received such treatment, and it is also a car - the Caddy series of Japan's Mitsubishi and Germany's Volkswagen.

However, when it comes to the tonality of the car alone, the global promotion resources of Zhouyi and Chenglong are much greater than that of Chenglong.

"Congratulations, my friend, you deserve it."

After the applause and hug, little Edgar’s eyes were full of smiles: “You have won everything for yourself.”

Car endorsements, especially endorsements of high-end car brands, are scarce resources in this era, let alone a foreigner like Zhou Yi.

The two songs "Unstoppable" and "That's What I Like" are Porsche and Cadillac respectively. They are both very well-known and are making great strides on the charts. The reputation Zhou Yi has built up through his first two albums, plus the lobbying of Edgar Jr. and the forces behind him, finally made Porsche and Cadillac agree.

Porsche three years, $10 million;

Cadillac four years, $15 million.

Because it is a non-exclusive business contract, the combined amount of these two annual contracts can be said to be the cheapest of the few endorsements Zhou Yi has. But - this is a double endorsement in the same industry.

In this non-exclusive double business endorsement field, Zhou Yi's endorsement fee this time is already the highest in history.

This means that his influence has completely broken some invisible thresholds. Not only that, but he also entered the scene with an arrogant attitude of "I want both". Porsche and Cadillac, as world-renowned automobile brands, actually accepted it.

I have to say this is a miracle.

Although Zhou Yi doesn't know how much Edgar Jr., as the helmsman of the Bronfman Group, has contributed to this so-called miracle, it is obvious that this descendant of the old European is really treating him with his heart.

Qian Jiang would never be able to negotiate such a contract.

In the entire Warner, the only person who is qualified to help him negotiate these two contracts is Edgar Jr., and no one else is qualified, and it is even impossible for them to come to the table.

"How about it, are you satisfied with this gift, my emperor?"

Edgar Jr., who was drunk tonight, said proudly, with a bit of "come and praise me" in his heart.

Zhou Yi laughed out loud and gave the emperor's affirmation: "Okay, you are awesome."

In the field of boys, "you are awesome" is already one of the highest honors, otherwise Eminem would not have nightmares every day, and Zhou Yi is still in his dreams.

Isn't it because he couldn't say a word of "you are awesome" before the media interview?

After receiving the affirmation, Little Edgar pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and smiled brightly: "But this is not over yet, Spike."

"?"

This time Zhou Yi really looked like he had seen a ghost.

What the hell did you do behind my back?

"If I remember correctly, you should stay in a hotel, Spike?"

"That's right, I don't have any property either--"

Zhou Yi answered casually, and then seemed to pause suddenly, as if he thought of something, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the smiling little Edgar, who gave him a thumbs up and threw him a bunch of keys--

"Although I know you don't care where you live, a hotel or anywhere is fine. But, believe me, Spike, a hotel is not as convenient as having your own house after all."

Little Edgar hooked his shoulder, holding a bottle of unfinished whiskey in his left hand: "A hotel is just a hotel. In your own house, you can do whatever you want. You can even pull the Victoria's Secret supermodels over to follow you and let them all lift their butts to you."

"..."

Vulgar!

Vulgar!

Am I that kind of person? !
