Chapter 3 Hello, my name is Sun Yanzi
A week later, the news that a future star was about to appear at Peking University spread quickly throughout the campus, and it became more and more exaggerated.
For Peking University students in the current era, a so-called star among their classmates is still very discussed, which is the same as Sa Beining appearing under the CCTV camera as a host.
Even if Zhou Yi hasn't released an album at this moment, and he can't get along with the star at all, this does not prevent them from discussing in private.
Zhou Yi, who often receives love letters from bold girls, has become even more famous, and his roommates and classmates who have played well have taken a group photo and signed it, which is the first time for a future big star.
Even students from art academies such as Nortel, Chinese Opera, and Central Music in the imperial capital heard the rumors.
Especially the central sound.
As the No.1 of the domestic conservatory, it is not a joke to say that it brings together the top young musicians in the country.
It is precisely because of this that when the news spread that "Zhou Jianhui, general manager of Warner Music, rushed all the way to Peking University to sign Zhou Yi", the first reaction of some students was to slowly put a question mark on their heads.
If you want to sign someone at Warner, shouldn't it be an art academy like Shangyangyin to select talents? Why did you still go to Peking University? This will somewhat make me seem a little dumbfounded.
If Zhou Yi is signed by a mainland music company, such as Maitian Music, which has singers such as Lao Wolf and Pu Shu, it will not make much waves in the hearts of some people who hear the news.
But on the contrary, it was Warner Records, which once symbolized giants, that signed Zhou Yi, and this time it was a stab.
Even if Warner is now sunset in the eyes of many people, when Aaron Kwok and Sammi Cheng can't stand it and terminate the contract, they can officially stop the coffin and put it in the ground, giving up the last bit of first-line share in the Chinese music scene.
But as long as it's still one day, it's still one of the most prominent historical names in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.
After all, in 2000, the entertainment trend in the mainland was still respected by Hong Kong and Taiwan. Whether it is the music industry or the film industry, what stands out is that a Hong Kong and Taiwan person is superior, and domestic entertainment is automatically inferior.
The most typical example: Na Ying, who has now secured the name of the first day in the mainland, and Sun Nan, who is impacting the throne of the first person of the same generation.
Na Ying was originally a junior in the mainland, but after gritting her teeth and going to the treasure island, she directly seized the opportunity to become a diva, and after the song "Meet Ninety-Eight" on the Spring Festival Gala in 98, she completely sat on the throne after the first day in the mainland;
Sun Nan and Na Ying are in a similar situation, they were also small characters at the beginning.
also seized the opportunity, Sun Nan was out of control after joining the Hong Kong Island Music Company. After making a name for himself on Hong Kong Island and making a name for himself, Sun Nan officially debuted as an artist in the mainland in 1996.
The deeds of these two people make Zhou Yi, a later person, somewhat outrageous, but now it is 2000, which is very reasonable in the eyes of people in the current era.
It's just that the second elder of the Zhou family, who came all the way from his hometown, is a little worried about the fact that his son may become a big star, especially Ms. Zhao Ping, Zhou Yi's mother.
As an ordinary former textile worker and now the proprietress of her own small supermarket, Zhao Pingxian never dreamed that her son would be admitted to Peking University.
When her son received the notice from Peking University and the county government scholarship, she happily ate an extra bowl every day. As a result, she suddenly received a call from her son again, telling her that there might be some small stumbles at the end of her Peking University study career.
"Yiyi, do you really stop thinking about it?"
Imperial capital, in a hotel room.
Zhao Ping, who shouted her son's nickname, looked melancholy, dressed plainly, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyebrows showed the traces left on her face by the years: "It's not so easy to be a star, it's better to study." You're a junior, and you'll be a senior in the second half of the year, so it's easy to find a job after finishing your studies. ”
Although she knew that her son was very assertive when he was a child, she still wanted to persuade her again this time.
It's a bet on the future.
There are so many celebrities, how many can become popular?
As she spoke, she also vaguely glanced at her husband, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with his mouth closed, without saying a word: "You have a word surnamed Zhou, what kind of dumb person should you be." ”
Zhou Yi, who had somewhat restrained his impetuous spirit in front of his parents, couldn't help grinning when he saw this, but when his mother saw it, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he sat obediently on the side and picked his fingers, looking serious.
"What's the use of saying it, this stinky boy was very assertive when he was a child in school, and now that his wings are stiff, can we still control him?"
Seeing that the war still burned to himself after all, Zhou Yaoguo, an honest man with a round inch, could only leave such a sentence angrily.
"Dad, Mom, what do you think, I'm not going to drop out, I'll still take the exam."
"Although my parents haven't read much, they also know that people's energy is limited. When a star is so busy, he definitely doesn't have time to read books, and he doesn't go to class, how do you take the exam? ”
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, Warner has told the people at the school that as long as I pass the exam normally, there will be no problem at all, and the senior year really doesn't have so many classes, at most I'm just busy graduating."
Zhou Yi, who had a smile on his face, raised his right hand and pointed his index finger to his temple: "As for the class, as long as I am not busy, I will come back to class, and I am not going to be stationed on Hong Kong Island or Treasure Island."
"If I'm busy, Warner will ask for a tutor for me as long as I ask for it.
"You don't know how smart I am, how can it be difficult for me to get the exam, I must pass."
Zhao Ping: "......"
Zhou Yaoguo: "......"
The self-confidence of my own children has really not changed since I was a child. Not only has it not changed, but it has become more and more intense.
Can college be the same as middle and high school?
Alas.
Looking at his son with an expression of "just an exam, why worry about his teeth", the second boss always had a sense of frustration that he was really old. I can't understand the contract, and I can't talk about it.
On the contrary, the son who sat at the negotiating table was like a person who had been tempered by society, and handled everything satisfactorily.
Now that the processing is done, what else can they do?
When my son grows up, he will eventually go out to wander, which is the direction of his adventure...... It's a little bit different from what they expected.
Looking at his son with a bright smile and confidence, the thoughts in the second elder's heart were somewhat complicated.
……………………………………………………………………
A week later, Treasure Island, formerly Warner UFO Records, is now Warner International Music Co., Ltd. (Warner Treasure Island Records) building.
Zhou Yi, who arrived here lightly, soon met Zhou Jianhui, who came back before him to prepare for the official signing, a man who decided to sign him because he heard him sing a few songs on the Tsinghua campus.
A well-fitting suit, wearing glasses, a middle-aged man who looks very sven.
Heaven and earth conscience, he wandered next door purely to see his sister. After all, Peking University is tired of looking crooked, and other people's homes are always a little different kind of attraction.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
"Welcome to Warner Records, Zhou Yi, and I'm looking forward to working together over the next four years."
Facing this young man he was betting on, Zhou Jianhui smiled and shook hands with him: "Good news, we have reached a cooperation with wheat field music in the mainland.
"Starting next month, Wheat Field Music in the mainland will officially become a part of Warner and be renamed Warner Wheat Field.
"Considering you're about to be a senior, I guess that should be good news for you."
In the case that there is already a Warner Wheat Field in the mainland, whether it is recording songs or producing albums, in addition to running publicity, Zhou Yi can be completed at Warner Wheat Field most of the time.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yi, who was not surprised that he hooked up with Warner at the Wheat Field Concert, also congratulated with a smile.
For him, it was a pleasant surprise.
He knew that the wheat field would be renamed Warner Wheat Field, but the exact date was really unclear.
However, in this way, the senior year should be much easier, after all, Warner harvested the wheat field to open the mainland market. And now that Warner Wheat Field has come, he will have more money and less things to do close to home.
"I'll take you to meet the company's two gold medal producers later, and if you have any ideas about your debut album, you can have a good chat with them."
Zhou Jianhui is also a vigorous and resolute person at work, and he knows how to hand over professional things to professional people to do.
That's what album production is all about.
It is true that he admires the original songs that Zhou Yi once sang on campus, but the live and studio albums are still different after all.
Whether it's arranging or recording, studio albums need people to control the quality.
"Oh yes, there is also a female singer of your age in the company, who is also a college student like you, and she is also newly signed by the company, and she is estimated to be in the recording studio now......"
When he walked to the recording studio with Zhou Yi, Zhou Jianhui briefly introduced the current album resource allocation in the company to the rising star he was optimistic about.
Bottom line: Since I dare to sign you, I will never treat you badly. As soon as you decide on the theme and style of the album, the company will match your voice to close the songs.
Zhou Yi, who had a hang in his head, didn't care about this, he cared more about the female college student that Zhou Jianhui said in his mouth.
Soon, he met the legendary female singer in the Chinese music scene who was still more than half a month away from her debut-
He is one meter tall and in his early sixties, and his short hair is neat and neat. The thin body and fresh face have the vitality unique to this age.
"Hello, my name is Sun Yanzi."
Sun Yanzi, who had not yet debuted, stretched out his hand to the handsome junior brother in front of him, smiling full of vitality.
