Chapter Fifty-Eight: Circles? I'm the circle
"What do you say? Going to a party? And the weekly news? Why don't you call me this kind of good thing? I still like her "April Day in the World" this year. β
The next day, in the afternoon, the recording area of the Warner Building.
Sun Yanzi, who walked out of the door of the recording studio, had just closed the door with her hand, when she heard Zhou Yi, who had taken off the monitoring headphones, say that he had no time to continue recording tonight.
"It's not impossible if you want to go, change your nationality."
Zhou Yi, who was turning the pen between his fingers, chuckled, and then raised his hand and pointed at her with the tip of the pen: "Tonight's party is all from the mainland." β
ββ¦β¦ Tsk, it turned out to be a circle party. β
Sun Yanzi, who felt a little tired, fell directly into the soft sofa, didn't speak, just made a disdainful gesture to the man.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi inevitably had a little curiosity in his heart: "Why, did you go as a thief last night, trapped like this?" β
"yes, I went to be a thief and stole the fan's money."
Sun Yanzi squeaked weakly: "I just finished running an announcement the afternoon before yesterday, and I'm about to start recording the second album again, why do you say I'm tired like this." β
Speaking of which, Sun Yanzi's heart was a little unbalanced again, especially when she saw Zhou Yi's radiant appearance: "No, why didn't the company force you to release an album?" Why are you holding me? β
"Well, maybe it's because the contract I signed says that the company can't interfere with my creative freedom?"
Zhou Yi, who signed a contract as a creator, shrugged his shoulders: "So even if the company wants to urge me, there is no reason for that, after all, I only need to guarantee to release a personal original album every year." β
When signing the contract, Warner took into account the time when the singer-songwriter in the Chinese music scene made an album, and the requirement of an original disc a year is not low in theory.
There are not many singer-songwriters who only release a big album in two or three years in the music world.
"No, I'm even more unbalanced like you. Why can you eat fragrant and drink spicy food, I still have to work for the capitalists. β
After staying with Zhou Yi for a long time, Sun Yanzi also learned the fresh phrases that often came out of his mouth.
In this era at the turn of the century, Zhou Yi, who is often full of smooth mouths, is undoubtedly at the forefront of the times, and he has fashion in his bones.
"Is it possible that I was at full capacity when I first released the album in July?" was said to be lazy, Zhou Yi was obviously unhappy.
"But now that you have a break, I have to start recording the second album non-stop, and then I have to run the publicity. It's almost the New Year, and I seriously doubt that I will ever be able to go home for this year......"
Sun Yanzi, who was bending his legs and stepping on the sofa, broke his fingers and began to vomit bitterness.
As a country dominated by Chinese, Singapore also celebrates the Spring Festival, and she hasn't seen her family for a long time.
ββ¦β¦ That's right, the contract you signed is like this, and there is no way to resist the company's arrangement. If you want to change it, you can only wait for your next contract. β
Since the beginning of the signing negotiations, Zhou Yi, who has been in the trend of attacking and defending, can only express regret about this.
If memory serves, Sun Yanzi in the early days of Warner was indeed a model worker in the music world. From 2000 to 2003, 7 albums were released in 3 years, and the entire history of the Chinese music scene was also explosive.
If he hadn't kept a hand in the negotiations, Zhou Yi felt that Warner's inappropriate cow and horse characteristics would probably be used on him.
"But I signed this contract until 03 years, it's so annoying, I still have to endure it for two years."
Most of the excitement when signing the contract has become a burden at the moment, if it weren't for the fact that there was still Zhou Yi by his side to listen to himself vomit bitterness, Sun Yanzi really didn't know how to alleviate his psychological pressure.
After all, in the entire company at present, the one she trusts the most in her heart is Zhou Yi, who has climbed to the sky like her. She didn't believe the agent too much, and some of the words in her heart could only be told to Zhou Yi.
"Think about it from another angle, as long as your popularity is as high as the diva in the past few years, the initiative is in your hands when you negotiate the next contract."
"I wish you a good night."
Sun Yanzi, who was almost about to sink into the sofa, was a little depressed in her heart, buried her head in a nap, and her voice was a little dull.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi had no choice but to take off the monitoring headphones that fell to his neck, got up from the chair, took a blanket, and paced to the sofa to cover her.
Then, the man turned around and waved his hand away under the gaze of Sun Yanzi's open eyes: "Remember to cover the quilt when you sleep in winter, be careful of catching a cold, and go." β
ββ¦β¦β
Sun Yanzi, who originally felt quite heartwarming when she heard the previous sentence, suddenly turned black after hearing the latter sentence - Zhou Yi, who walked to the door, stopped, turned his head and spread his hands at her: "I'll go out to play first." β
Depend on!
Sun Yanzi, who was so angry that he was about to raise the cup out of thin air, hated the root of his teeth: "Zhou! Easy! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Huh? Who called me? β
Two hours later, Ju Yun Xuan, parking lot.
Zhou Yi just got out of the car of the agent Qian Jiang, and Zhou Yi, who vaguely heard someone calling his name, was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked in the direction from which the voice came, Fan Bingbin, who also got off the company car, was standing in the distance and waving to him.
"Ah Yi, you'd better take it easy.
"According to the information I have received, this golden lock is not having a good time at the moment.
"Qiong Yao doesn't like her disobedient and uncooperative temperament, and directly let her sit on the cold bench, I think you should know how strong Qiong Yao's circle is in Treasure Island.
"Also, she can't get resources on her treasure island, not to mention, it is said that there are people in the Beijing circle who have taken a fancy to her in the mainland, but she doesn't bow her head, and she is still trying to resist stubbornly, so she can't get resources."
Qian Jiang, who also saw Fan Bingbin, whispered the exact situation he had inquired about: "It's hard to say whether she is in a hurry to go to the doctor and come to you."
"Anyway, you'd better be careful. It's best not to have too much to do with her, otherwise you are likely to offend some people in these two circles. β
"Tsk, there are so many circles in this circle and that circle."
Zhou Yi, who heard this, pursed his lips disdainfully: "What's not to offend here, as soon as I sing, do they have the ability to sanction Warner for not letting me sing?"
"Do you believe that even if Qiong Yao came to speak in person, Zhou Jianhui would be able to throw her into the sea to feed the fish?"
The king Aaron Kwok is tired, he is now the only male singer in the company, the Warner prince, what about the trouble?
In the entertainment industry, you have to look at the faces of others to play with female stars, and it is absolutely impossible for Yi to accept this week.
is also in the circle, when he doesn't rely on this circle to eat at all, the so-called circle is a fart!
What's more, to put it vulgarly, he Zhou Yi has already gained momentum, and now he is a circle, otherwise how could Fan Bingbin take the initiative to come up?
It's just that he didn't expect Fan Bingbin in the early days to be so tough, and the two factions of the single anti-Beijing circle and Qiong Yao.
"Huh? Wait a minute. No, she has a poor relationship with the Beijing circle and Qiong Yao, how could she be here? β
"Probably because of Zhou Xun, considering that Fan Bingbin is also a mainland artist who works hard in Taiwan, and Zhou Jie and Fan Bingbin also know each other, and they are both from the same crew.
Although Qiong Yao treated Fan Bingbin coldly, Zhou Jie was also born in the mainland after all, and he would not fall into the ground. However, all he is willing to do is not fall into the ground. β
At this point, seeing that Fan Bingbin had gradually walked towards Zhou Yi, Qian Jiang gave him a look: "Okay, you pay attention to your own proportions, I'll go first." β
With Qianjiang's drive away, Fan Bingbin, who was very eye-catching, also walked to Zhou Yi's side and showed him a smile: "I was a little surprised when Sister Zhou Xun told me before that you would also attend this party. β
"You know Zhou Xun very well?"
Zhou Yi, who didn't take Qian Jiang's warning seriously, responded with a smile.
"Okay, I've had some dealings before. You know, I basically can't get resources now, a big star like Sister Zhou Xun, of course I have to stick to it a little bit and see if I can get some resources for myself. β
Contrary to Zhou Yi's expectations, Fan Bingbin was very honest about his current predicament and another reason for his friendship with Zhou Xun.
"Are you sure you want to say that to me?"
Zhou Yi, who had a flash of surprise in his heart, looked at her playfully.
"I don't think Warners will be stupid, I'm afraid your agent has already made my situation clear to you."
Fan Bingbin smiled bitterly and shrugged helplessly: "To be honest, I have indeed reached the point of desperation now. Rather than being disgusted by you at that time, I would like to make it clear myself.
"Anyway, basically everyone in the circle knows about my situation now."
Zhou Yi was amused: "You are really good, play chess in the entertainment industry, not to mention the factions, you also pay attention to one, two, three, four, five." β
"Chess?"
This time it was Fan Bingbin's turn to be puzzled.
What does this have to do with chess?
"The chess circle is the same, with a lot of hills. Oh no, they have more mountains than the entertainment industry, and they all see that they are from their teachers. As long as you are from a wild background, even if you have the strength to overwhelm everyone, you will be excluded by the circle. β
Zhou Yi, who did not say anything to refuse, made Fan Bingbin's expression look visibly happy, and then followed the man's footsteps and walked side by side with him: "It turns out that the exclusion phenomenon in the chess circle is also so serious. β
"Chi Qian Wang Baduo, no surprise."
ββ¦β¦β
In Ju Yunxuan, Zhou Xun was very surprised when he saw Fan Bingbin coming in with Zhou Yiyou, who he had seen in the photo, talking and laughing.
When did the two get on such a good relationship?
"Sister Zhou Xun, meet for the first time."
Seeing the celebrities behind Zhou Xun who were communicating with each other, Zhou Yi took the lead in reaching out to the person with the largest coffee position in the audience who was closest to him, and introduced himself: "Zhou Yi." β
On the side, Zhou Jie, who was also born in Qiong Yao Huanzhu, also saw that this little brother with the same surname as himself came in with Fan Bingbin, his eyelids jumped, and he didn't ask anything.
Lu Yi and Chen Kun on the side glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Our old Zhou family is really a purple microstar from the sky this time, and it can make those pretentious treasure island musicians lose their armor, Zhou Yi, you are the first."
The grinning Zhou Xun gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up, and then introduced them one by one as an intermediary-
relied on "Never Look Away" to become a popular idol in the mainland in one fell swoop;
Chen Kun, who just finished filming the TV series "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" with Zhou Xun, and the well-deserved first male star in the field of mainland TV dramas: Zhou Jie.
Zhou Jie, who has the highest status, seemed to have no idea about the contradiction between Fan Bingbin and Qiong Yao, and greeted him with a smile: "I have been fascinated for a long time, you sang the theme song and ending song of "Youth Bao Qingtian" so well, my family called me when I was watching TV and asked me if I knew the singer Zhou Yi. β
"That's Brother Jie's good performance, really, I love to watch it myself."
Zhou Yi: This is not a commercial blow.
He really likes Zhou Jie's performance in the bag, the interpretation is in place and exciting.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Bingbin, come and sit down."
Lu Yi and Chen Kun, who had a lower coffee position on the side, saw Zhou Yi, Zhou Jie, and Zhou Xun talking happily for the past three weeks, and in order not to let Fan Bingbin be a little embarrassed in it, they picked her up.
"yes, long time no see."
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Fan Bingbin also understood the difficulty of these two people, but just threw a grateful look at Zhou Yi before turning around.
Zhou Yi, who received the signal, raised his eyebrows at her.
She knew she was on board.
The sincerity game is a successful bet, but the question is, at what cost?
After she had already made it clear about her situation and why she had come to this step, Zhou Yi did not hint at anything to eat and sleep with.
And just when she thought that Zhou Yi would be poor in the dagger, what this man did in the future really seemed to be just pulling her.
Fan Bingbin doesn't believe that there will be anything pie-dropping in this world, she is no longer the 16-year-old naΓ―ve and ignorant child in the past.
But Zhou Yi's slightly "weird" behavior and style burned her brain, which is only 19 years old this year.
