Chapter 754 The King of the Ringbell Age
Until Zhou Yi really returned to Warner to sign, Fan Xiaopang still felt dizzy-
The long list of numbers almost made her mind go down.
She always knew that Zhou Yi was rich, but she never thought that Zhou Yi had already reached this point. No wonder she couldn't see any luxury car Zhou Yi collected, and she had already fallen in love with a more advanced toy.
In contrast, she felt that the new BMW she bought was ready to drive home was a little boring.
"Can I see your plane?"
"Then you have some more waiting."
Zhou Yi is also looking forward to his private plane, mainly because he has never played with a real rich toy in his previous life.
"How long will it take? Haven't you signed and settled the money? You're not going to negotiate now." Fan Xiaopang felt somewhat itchy.
"At the earliest, it will be until the end of January and the beginning of February. If you haven't come home for the New Year, you can come up and sit down."
"It must be certain."
Fan Xiaopang nodded like pounding garlic, and his mind instantly flew to the private plane he had never met.
She had even thought about how to yell at the scenes when she finished her private plane. After seeing such a sky palace, she would yell at the scenes in the circle. She would not envy those superficial friends who were superb!
Especially the little swallow and Ziwei who used to like to pretend to be in front of her.
You should know that in 2004, no one in the mainland entertainment industry had ever taken a private jet.
This is an era when millions of RMB are enough for big names to come to an end, and that little money is not enough for Zhou Yi's private jet to stop and consume for a month.
It is not an exaggeration to describe a private jet with a blunt knife, which is why many celebrities and even entrepreneurs later sold it.
It's a waste of money when you throw it there and don't move. It feels distressing to rent it out. I'm willing to let a private plane that belongs only to you be in and out by strangers. The main reason is that the rent is difficult to completely cover the income and expenditure.
Anyway, Zhou Yi couldn't accept renting the plane out. He only had one, not many, not to mention that he bought it, he didn't buy it second-hand junk. If it is a second-hand plane, then whenever a stranger gets acquainted, he can enter and exit as long as he pays money. Zhou Yi doesn't care.
He only cares about his new phone.
Whether it is said that he is not right in his mentality or is extravagant or wasteful, it doesn’t matter if he has too much money.
There is not much else for the Internet upstarts in the future, but more money.
And he is now synonymous with the upstart of Internet investment. Every year, Internet entrepreneurs who want to come to him for investment with PPT are almost breaking the threshold for Reuters.
Now, in addition to the medium-sized investment and favor investment that Zhou Yi personally reviewed and investigated, he has already delegated power to Cheng Hao for "small" investment, just to cultivate her sense of investment.
In addition to Zhou Yi himself, Cheng Hao is probably the only one who knows what the assets behind Zhou Yi have reached now.
What Zhou Yi wants to do next requires huge cash flow support. Whether buying land to build buildings or cooperating with theaters, it takes real money to invest it for a long time to achieve results.
At this stage, Zhou Yi's personal fame is a golden business card.
Sohu Lao Zhang obviously also figured out the essence of Zhou Yi's personal brand. Since Sohu entered the fast lane, he has also begun to appear frequently in various programs and interviews, and his exposure is as good as that of first-line stars.
"Does this news need to be kept confidential?"
"Confidential? It doesn't exist, it can't be hidden."
Zhou Yi shook his head, "I want to go out and show off, right? Then show it out."
There are many procedures involved in this era of private jets, and there are so many people in the middle link, how can they be hidden?
Besides, he earns all his innocent money, and there is no need to be afraid of this and that. There is no doubt that the most self-made one in the entire mainland rich circle.
A small opening is not considered a opening!
"How is that possible? I'm not such a person."
Fan Xiaopang, who was implicated in the heart, immediately denied it, but the action of quietly touching and pulling Nokia out of her jeans pocket seemed to be not very honest.
In other words, there is no WeChat or QQ space now. Otherwise, Zhou Yi would probably have to post a circle of friends or a message to the world with Fan Xiaopang's excitement.
"Chen Kun really didn't catch up. If his album was released one or two years earlier, he would not be like you, at least he would be able to make a big fortune like that Pan Weibo."
Fan Xiaopang, who had already completely shaken his pockets with "The Man and Women Sitting at the Alley", has a deeper understanding of Zhou Yi's wealthy behavior, and is moved by another male star in the circle who has embarked on film and television songs. The birth of the three amphibian route is not at the right time.
As the first mainland artist signed by Sony Records, Sony attaches great importance to Chen Kun and directly spent a huge amount of money to help him create the first special "Penosis" in the music industry. It was only after two years of polishing and launching it.
The effect is also impressive. The title song "Moon Half Bend" in the album has a very good popularity nationwide.
But unfortunately, this was 2004.
It will be released on November 15th. Although Sony is making a lot of momentum, it is directly released on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions with Chen Kun's fame - but three days have passed, and the actual sales of the album are only more than 130,000 copies.
This is completely sorry for Chen Kun's fame.
But the title song "Moon Half Bend" in his album has a good popularity in the market and has entered the top 20 music charts in the mainland.
This is a very contradictory state.
In addition, this kind of song has not entered the ringtone market, so Sony still uses the traditional record model to release it.
The result of this is that Chen Kun will not have to worry about having nothing to perform in the evening parties and commercial performances in the future, and then he will be finished by singing the song "The Moon Half Bend".
"He has poor album sales and has also met Zhou Chuanxiong, the main promoter of Global. The current market is so cruel."
Zhou Yi, who took Fan Xiaopang into the car and headed straight to Huayi, shook his head: "The world has given Zhou Chuanxiong the title of Godfather of love songs, and has also brought a bunch of people to stand up for him. Chen Kun cannot rob him. Pass his market."
In October 2004, Zhou Chuanxiong officially announced his joining Global Records. Universal Records, which lacks the No. 1 player, also attaches great importance to the arrival of this man, and also combines his own characteristics and sets his attention on the mainland market.
The past "Down" still has its remains hot. On November 12, Zhou Chuanxiong released his first album "Man·Ocean" released by joining Universal Records. The title song "Man·Ocean" swept the entire market as soon as it was released.
This man who once divided the world with "Down" and Zhou Yi in the pirated market. After so many years of twists and turns, he finally became popular in China under his real name.
Chen Kun just happened to meet his schedule, so it would be strange if the sales volume was not bad.
The sentence "The most infatuated man is like an ocean, he loves to show off his strength in the storm, but he is still suffering or calm" directly dominated the major KTVs on the list and became a popular pop song passed down by word of mouth by many people.
Universal Records, which has been missing the top player since the end of the last century, finally felt that the true destiny that suits him has arrived. In order to promote Zhou Chuanxiong, he directly gave him the propaganda slogan "Love Song Godfather".
Many people in later generations mentioned Zhou Chuanxiong as the godfather of love songs, love songs, and godfather of love songs, and the reason is that Universal Records make an indelible contribution.
Especially his "Down" back then, he was in a state of being inextricably linked to Zhou Yi's "Jiangnan" in the pirated market. This time, he achieved such a great success in releasing a new album, and everyone in the world was so happy.
"Will he affect your sales?"
Recently, Fan Xiaopang, who often hears the song "Men's Ocean" on the street, asked curiously.
The market is declining, and Zhouyi's basic market will rarely be shaken, but the number of passers-by who can really increase sales will still be affected, right?
"He? That's not to mention that "Ocean of Men" has not yet reached the point where he can threaten me, unless he can take out a song "Downhill". " Zhou Yi chuckled and didn't take him seriously.
In fact, Zhou Yi's name as the godfather of the love song is actually quite awesome, so he just wanted the No. 1 brother in the world and directly put this high hat on him.
Zhou Chuanxiong was almost taught by the market in Taiwan at the end of the last century and was almost quitting the music industry because his style was too fixed.
You will find that most of his songs are similar in style and style. If you listen too much, you will naturally feel tired of aesthetics and will become unpopular over time.
This is also fully reflected in the mainland market.
Later, when it was rapidly out of breath in the mainland, Zhou Chuanxiong was not ill.
"Then can he be your opponent? In terms of sales?"
Fan Xiaopang is quite curious. You should know that in previous years, Zhou Yi can meet a strong competitor every time, but so far this year, even the most promising Zhou Jielun can't see hope at the moment.
"cannot."
Zhou Yi made a decisive judgment.
"Then won't you be able to escape from the sea of suffering this year?" Fan Xiaopang's eyes lit up and then he joked.
This has almost become a meme within Zhou Yi's fan group, so after it was spread to the Internet, it was recognized by many netizens and started to make a lot of jokes.
Since his debut, every year, Zhou Yi's Chinese album always meets singers who suddenly explode. This is very confusing, as if God had specially sent him to set off (stop) Zhou Yi.
It's November this year. It's December, and there's only more than a month left to 2005. It's impossible for another singer to explode in such a short time, right?
"Well..."
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said, "It's hard to say."
Who is the mainland singer who can sell albums the most in 2004?
The answer is Pang Long, the king of that ringtone era.
In December 2004, Pang Long, who had lost his previous album, released his new album "Two Butterflies", thus opening up the most profitable kingdom in the history of ringtones.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
The album "Two Butterflies" is the most authentic album of mainland singers in 2004. The title song of the same name "Two Butterflies" is an insurmountable monument in the history of ringtones - a report card that cuts 250 million yuan, even if it is "Rat Loves Rice" 》 is far from that.
The most commendable thing is that Pang Long has a certain ability to continuously output. Unlike other ringtone singers, I only eat one song in my life—
There is no need to say more about "Two Butterflies", you will understand how explosive it is.
In Pang Long's later songs, in "You are my rose", there is a sentence "You are my rose, you are my flower; you are my lover, I will love you forever in my life, rose~" It has become a memory of how many people have on KTV;
"Home in the Northeast" is also familiar to the people. The sentence "My home is in the Northeast, on the Songhua River~" How many people can hum;
"Brother Hugs" is a song that many people will order at a party. The sentence "Brother Hugs, say what you think, and say all the grievances and changes over the years." I don't know how many beers my beer have been consumed.
Below these songs, the next level is the songs "Chels to Brothers" and "School Beauty".
This output is really supermodel compared to those ringtone singers who only have one song.
Of course, this may also be because a person is a serious professional and a record singer who insists on making records no matter how popular the ringtone is.
Fan Xiaopang didn't know that there would be such a king of ringtones that would emerge in December, just to think it was Zhou Yi's private modesty. After staying with him for a long time, Fan Xiaopang also knew that Zhou Yi was not as narcissistic and arrogant as he had expressed in front of the media.
Unless he really disdains someone from the bottom of his heart, he will be arrogant even in private.
"Then when will your new album be released?"
"It's December 31st, stuck on the last day of 2004."
If you remember correctly, the album "Sun and Moon in the Heart" that established Wang Lihong's position in the Chinese music scene should have been released on this day, but Zhou Yi no longer needs to worry about these things being missing.
His and Wang Lihong's fans are basically of the same age group, and Sony should consider the adjustment period.
"Your album is getting late. If you don't work, just take a break."
"Why do you feel so sorry for people today?"
"How could it be? I always feel sorry for you~"
“…”
I have to say that Fan Xiaopang, whose eyebrows and eyes have gradually opened up as he grows older, is really worthy of the idiom "Silk" and his face has lost its baby fat, and he looks even more charming.
In other words, you can already see the sign of Huayi Company, otherwise Zhou Yi would have to press the fairy into the car and rectify the Dharma.
Fan Xiaopang, who is getting more and more courageous, obviously knows this too—
While he leaned out his hand and fiddled with Zhou Yi's gear lever, his eyes became more and more interesting.
She even bounced her fingers.
When Huayi's eldest and older king took his first sister Li Bingbing to greet Zhou Yi in person, what he saw was Zhou Yi's curse and Fan Xiaopang's clever smile when he got off the car.
"Zhou Yi, Bingbin, welcome."
"You are welcome, Mr. Wang."
After shaking hands and greetings, Zhou Yi, who met Li Bingbing's eyes again, smiled politely at her--
Li Bingbing choked a lot.
The last time she failed to play hard to get, she summarized some experiences after reviewing her own experience.
This man really never takes the initiative.
I'm convinced, damn it.
"I heard that Mr. Wang, you plan to enter the record industry, and have also acquired Warring States Music."
"Movies are audio-visual art. Audio and video are not separated. It is better to walk on two legs than to walk on one leg."
The King of Kings happily mentioned it, and Zhou Yi also changed the topic with a smile and did not ask more questions.
Speaking of Warring States music, many people probably haven't heard it, but their Yuquan combination is well known to everyone. Songs such as "The Most Beautiful" and "The Cold to the End" have also pushed their fame to the top of the mainland. .
On October 31, 2004, Huayi Brothers officially announced the acquisition of Warring States Music, and accompanied the acquisition of all resources to form Huayi Brothers Music Co., Ltd.
In Zhou Yi's impression, this company was once quite exciting.
What brought Huayi's new company to take off is Pang Long's "Two Butterflies"-
Huayi Brothers Music Co., Ltd. is the mainland publisher of Pang Long's new album "Two Butterflies".
In the future, its artists will also include Chen Chusheng, He Jie, Shang Wenjie and other fast boys and super girls who have terminated the contract. Yao Bei's also belongs to this company, and He Manting, who sang "No Face" with Xu Shangao, is quite popular on the Internet. Popular milk coffee combo and more.
The group was chatting, and at the corner of the corridor, a man wearing glasses appeared behind Zhou Yi's eyes, a senior music producer in mainland China.
Zhou Yaping, an older generation of mainland music producers - how old is? He was responsible for the albums of Liu Huan, Cui Jian, Mao Amin and others in the early years, and he has a wide connection.
Of course, Zhou Yi's attention was on the man with glasses behind Zhou Yaping-
Pang Long, the king of the ringtone era.
The face of the young and old looks has not changed much. It is a mature face that looks very old at a young age. When the age increases, it seems that there is no major change in age.
"Zhou Yi, right? I often hear Cui Jian and Liu Huan mention you."
While Zhou Yaping smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello, he also did not forget to recommend his artists: "I will introduce it. This is Pang Long, a singer in our company, and his voice is very distinctive."
Born in 1971 and a total of ten years older than Zhou Yi, Pang Long immediately stood up properly and said, "Hello, Brother Yi, my name is Pang Long."
"You can hear that the voice is indeed distinctive and suitable for the singer industry. Brother Yaping, you have found a good seedling."
Zhou Yi happily accepted this title without any discomfort.
He might have felt strange before, but now, he doesn't.
Wang Feng, who was also born in 1971, called him brother every day when he met, and he had already been desensitized.
"I'll lend you a good word haha."
Zhou Yaping, who was recognized by Zhou Yi, was in a good mood: "By the way, are you?"
