Chapter 717 Dear Olympic Committee, You Don’t Want

Chapter 717 Dear Olympic Organizing Committee, you don’t want to either...

"Yesterday, Chinese young singer Zhou Yi arrived in France and aroused strong enthusiasm from fans at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. The scene was so grand that it was packed with people.

"Relevant sources pointed out that Zhou Yi went to France this time to participate in filming work at the invitation of the brand he endorsed. At the same time, on the day he arrived in Paris, Zhou Yi had a conversation with the diplomats of the Chinese Embassy in France..."

Zhou Yi, who folded off the copy of the report, rubbed his eyebrows, and then threw it aside: "I have read too many short stories with exaggerated headlines, and I am really not used to seeing such straightforward news reports."

"Nonsense, which bastard dares to write your nonsense on such a formal occasion? You can only read the official media."

Although he was away from home, Qian Jiang was still paying attention to the domestic public opinion situation and was somewhat disdainful of Zhou Yi's behavior of being obedient while getting an advantage.

How many people want to ask for it but still can’t get it.

"Armani has already made arrangements, and we can start shooting this afternoon. We'll take your French lover with us."

"Love you."

Zhou Yi laughed and scolded: "You are slandering me, let me tell you."

One is one, two is two.

He, a dignified Zhou official, didn't even bother to lie about this kind of thing.

"Okay, okay, slander. But I still have to tell you that they are not very willing to agree to the request you made to Athens."

After the joke, Qian Jiang also got serious and talked about the results of the communication between him and the Greek Olympic Organizing Committee: "They are not willing to follow the arrangement of the lighting and venue you requested."

After previously informing Zhang Yimou of the results, he sent the complete stage plan for the performance to Athens under the command of Zhou Yi, and the answer he received was the same as Zhang Yimou's previous answer -

One word: no.

"These arrogant old white-skinned people should light up their sky lanterns."

Zhou Yi curled his lips disdainfully: "Look for someone to put pressure on you. I don't want to play with them. I'm not as easy to talk to as Zhang Yimou."

Zhang Yimou cannot be tough because he has no reliable allies in the Western camp. In addition, there is too much pressure at home and abroad. He dare not act recklessly, otherwise it will be difficult for his leadership to explain.

But he's not.

After several years of operation, he is not alone in the Western world.

If you always think about taking one step back, the only result you will get is to get slapped in the face by the other party.

Of course, he dared to say this because he had the confidence - Coca-Cola, one of the largest sponsors of the Athens Olympics, is currently negotiating with him to renew his contract.

The two parties originally signed a contract extension with a total value of more than 30 million US dollars in August 2002. The contract expired in August 2005, which happened to be only one year left.

Seeing that Zhouyi's commercial value has been getting higher and higher, Pepsi-Cola, which has always liked signing big-name entertainment stars to advertise for itself, is scratching its head - they made the wrong bet back then, betting on Xie Tingfeng, which resulted in a catastrophe.

Pepsi-Cola will never allow itself to make this kind of mistake again.

Seeing that the contract between Zhouyi and Coca-Cola has reached the last year, theoretically speaking, after December this year, Zhouyi's team can contact other competing products without breaching the contract, so Pepsi-Cola is called an active one——

Every now and then, he would make some sidekicks in the domestic media, express his appreciation for Zhou Yi, and even let Jay Chou, one of the spokespersons of Pepsi, come out to play the emotional card——

During an interview with a reporter, I was "suddenly" asked who I most wanted to shoot a commercial with, and something like "If I can shoot with A Yi, of course it would be the best. I have known him for many years and we have a good understanding." , emerge in endlessly.

In the international market, the president of Pepsi-Cola Corporation publicly stated that his family are loyal fans of Zhouyi, which set off alarm bells throughout the Coca-Cola company.

When Coca-Cola missed the opportunity to sign Michael Jackson, Pepsi Cola suppressed them in public opinion. Finally, they made the right bet. If they let Zhou Yi go on his way to the top, the CEO would have to slap himself in his dreams at night. Two slaps.

"It just so happens that I haven't been too busy to deal with the contract renewal. Let me mention this to the people at Coca-Cola. I think they will understand."

Zhou Yi, who had been pretending to be so busy that he delayed the renewal of Coca-Cola's contract, flicked his nails and said calmly: "I have no intention of talking nonsense with those Greek white-skinned people and let them solve it internally."

At his current position, renewing the contract is not just a simple matter of money, but also the potential factor of "what can you do for me?" Moreover, the latter's proportion of contract renewal negotiations is higher than that of the former.

Pepsi-Cola dared to clear all obstacles for Michael Jackson and tried its best to help him. You Coca-Cola can't just get rid of me by simply taking some money and giving me a global publicity channel.

The Zhouyi in 2002 needed Coca-Cola’s global publicity channels. What does the Zhouyi in 2004 have to do with him now?

If you can't do it, or if you do it perfunctorily and people are not satisfied, then it will be the same if I switch to Pepsi.

The reason why he has been delaying the renewal of the contract is to keep it for now. What he is guarding against is the Greek Olympic Organizing Committee - the eight major and most important sponsors of this Athens Olympics, including Coca-Cola.

As one of the major financial backers of the Greek Olympic Organizing Committee, Coca-Cola shouldn't dare to say anything, right?

Zhou Yi remembered very clearly that the stage for Lao Mouzi this year was shrunk and shrunk by Athens, so that in the end it could only be limited to a small square stage for performances. Otherwise, with Lao Mouzi's current ability, he would not be able to create such a pile of elements that has no aesthetic value at all.

If you ask him to make a movie without giving you a good script, he will make a piece of shit and feed it to you. But if you ask him to tinker with the scenes, as long as he doesn't stumble, he will really be fine.

After all, this old man has been promised the future Winter Olympics.

"Okay, I'll get in touch."

Qian Jiang nodded.

United States, Coca-Cola Company Headquarters, Conference Room.

"Everyone, Spike is now busy with the album, so we can talk about contract renewal. The other party has a strong intention to renew the contract, but now, Spike has encountered a problem..."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Regarding the Greek Olympic Organizing Committee's failure to cooperate with the Chinese delegation, it was put on the table of an emergency board meeting of Coca-Cola.

The meaning is very clear——

Just ask if you can help.

"Help! We must help! Spike is very important to us. He has been tied to us since his debut. If he is poached by Pepsi at this time, it will definitely be a blow to our brand influence."

To put it bluntly, Coca-Cola can now overtake Pepsi in the global advertising field because of the influence of Zhouyi's songs.

This is a fucking replica of the time when Pepsi-Cola signed Michael Jackson and suppressed their Coca-Cola head start.

Zhou Yi alone pressed all the popular celebrities under Pepsi-Cola to the ground and rubbed them repeatedly.

Not to mention the Asian region, China, Japan and South Korea are all leaders in the field. Even in Europe and the United States, Zhou Yi's behavior of massacring music charts in major countries at the slightest disagreement is worse than Michael Jackson's back then.

If you give him more time, his status in the future may not be able to completely surpass that of Michael Jackson, who is currently involved in the child molestation scandal.

Considering the huge influence and commercial value of this ebb and flow, Coca-Cola was also anxious and passed the decision unanimously without any wrangling.

Not long after, Angelopoulos Zaskalaki, chairman of the Greek Organizing Committee, received a phone call from Coca-Cola, the major financier, in his office to make an appointment——

"Ms. Zaskaraki, we need to talk."

Damn it!

Why did you alert a big financier like Coca-Cola who always just invests money and doesn't care about things? !

This woman who was once excluded from the Greek Olympic Organizing Committee, but later returned to serve as the president of the Greek Olympic Organizing Committee with the help of the International Olympic Organizing Committee, frowned.

Before long, she received another call from the International Olympic Organizing Committee——

"Ms. Zaskaraki, we need to talk."

Quite simply, Coca-Cola does more than just sponsor the Greek Olympic Organizing Committee.

Zaskaraki: "..."

I fuck your god Jesus Mary!

Anyeropoulos Zaskaraki rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired.

Why is it that Zhang Yimou doesn't have so much to do, while Spike has so many things to do?

It's so irritating, damn it.

The key is that this prick can really call someone, unlike Zhang Yimou who can only go back and revise after being rejected, which is in line with her stereotype of Chinese people being modest and restrained.

This Spike not only refused to go back to make changes, he even called someone to come and try to force her to make changes by holding her head down...
