Chapter 124: Will Warner Start a Company?
On July 4, 2001, after all the negotiations were completed, the crew of "Pink Girl" publicly announced the real reason why Zhou Yi appeared near the crew of "Pink Girl" and met with actor Chen Hao -
In addition to visiting the class because of a good relationship, Zhou Yi will also create a new song that will not be released on the next album as an interlude and promotional song for this show to surprise fans and friends.
At the same time, Zhou Yi will also play a cameo role in this play. In addition, the commercial MV for this new song will be filmed locally in the crew......"
With the smiling confirmation of the director of "Pink Girl", after this exact news came out, some fans who had performed before Zhou Yiwei's debut were suddenly angry-
As we all know, so far, Zhou Yi's album has a very bad "problem" - he will not put even a song in his new album that has been sung and performed publicly.
After the first album "Zhou Yi" became popular, some fans with magical powers got a video of Zhou Yi singing and playing in the imperial capital bar street, which is a folk song and rock that is completely different from the hiphop style of the first album.
That is different from the charm of hiphop, which allows many fans to see the other side of Zhou Yi before his debut.
They thought that Zhou Yi's second college would most likely re-record these songs with the highest specifications and put them in, but Zhou Yi was stunned that none of them were played, all of them were new songs.
So far, those that have been circulating in the hands of major fans are still the live DV shooting version with average picture quality and unbearable radio fee.
This can be a buomy for some fans who prefer folk and rock 'n' roll.
Especially Zhou Yi doesn't seem to have the idea of remaking songs such as "Nanshan Nan" and "Poignans" on the EP at all.
Yes, the album "Gangnam" is more important, but isn't the song you wrote before your debut a song?!
Raised by the stepmother, it doesn't matter like that?!
If you don't make a selection of the money, you can remake a few songs and sell them as new songs!
Originally, it was enough to write an episode for Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour 2", which was enough to make people expect Zhou Yi and Big Brother Cheng to collide with any sparks, but the Warner official backhand at that time would not include this song in Zhou Yi's solo album, which really poured cold water on many fans who wanted to listen to Zhou Yi's English songs in advance.
At that time, some fans were already aware of Zhou Yi's "quirk", but after reading the official explanation given by Warner, only when the English song was placed on the Chinese album obviously destroyed the whole, they reluctantly believed this explanation.
But this time, when the song for "Pink Girl" was also clearly not included in the next album, some fans with big voices were really angry-
After this news was announced, he began to form gangs and constantly wrote letters to Warner, asking Warner to give snacks to the little king of his company, this is Aaron Kwok's first brother after he is getting older!
"Look at Penny Day! The song "The Love You Want" written for Meteor Garden was directly placed in his second album released in January, and after the broadcast of "Meteor Garden", it became popular against the trend, and now it has overturned most of Zhou Yi's second album songs! Highly recommend to make Zhou Yi ......"
"Will Warner open a company at all?! Won't let me come! Zhou Yi's songs are so good......"
"What does Zhou Yi's agent eat! Let Zhou Yi hurry up and work hard! He's only nineteen, don't let him ......"
“……”
In the hotel room, looking at the urging letters sent to Warner by these grumpy fans, Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, couldn't help but laugh a little.
As one of the objects of "abuse" and "humiliation" by these fans, Qian Jiang, as Zhou Yi's agent, was helpless: "Because of this habit, I and the company are now about to be scolded to death by fans who are very concerned about your career." ”
Is it that he doesn't want to urge Zhou Yi to remake the EP, is it that he doesn't want to make money?
To put it mildly, now Zhou Yi's internal priority and attention are basically equivalent to Aaron Kwok, whose focus has shifted to the film industry.
It's a scary thing.
Now the company has to coax him, otherwise once the news of Zhou Yi's unhappy stay at Warner comes out, giant companies such as Sony and Baidai can die of laughter, and directly rush to Zhou Yi's door overnight with liquidated damages.
Zhou Yineng decided to make an EP with a graduation theme, and Qian Jiang was almost moved to tears.
"Don't say it, these letters look quite emotional."
Zhou Yi, who did not have the slightest remorse, laughed a little heartlessly.
In the current era of the Internet, the most cost-effective way to communicate between fans and singers, in addition to offline events and album signings, is to write letters to record companies.
That's the most sincere love of the fans.
Qian Jiang glanced at him angrily: "You are still laughing, now I am responsible for all the infamy." And that's just the tip of the iceberg, there's a lot more to the company.
"And there are a lot of letters from the branches of companies in Baodao, the mainland, and Hong Kong. What are you going to do? You can't finish watching it, and keeping it will take up space. ”
"Bitter company, you have to bear the infamy, small problems."
Zhou Yi smiled and put the letters in his hand back into the messy pile of letters on the coffee table: "Help me buy a few suites in a good location in the imperial capital, and these letters will be sent directly to my house in the future." ”
“……”
As a Hong Kong native, Qian Jiang, who subconsciously wanted to say a few words when he heard about buying a house, suddenly swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth when he thought of the current housing prices in the imperial capital.
With Zhou Yi's net worth now, it is really not a problem to buy a few apartments in a good place in the imperial capital.
Just the two endorsements plus a special "Zhou Yi" so far have exceeded 10 million yuan, and the song copyright can continue to bring benefits to Zhou Yi.
The multimillionaire in 2001, this is still not counting the income of the second album "Jiangnan".
"It's still fast to make money from endorsements."
After calculating his income, Zhou Yi inevitably sighed. The income of the album can explode for a while in the early stage, and then it will be a trickle.
But without Coca-Cola's 10 million endorsement and Anta's 9 million endorsement fee, it is really not so simple for him to earn more than 10 million.
"Not every endorsement has that much money, but I'll try to help you negotiate the price."
As a professional agent, Qian Jiang, who helped Zhou Yi win these two high-value endorsements, immediately smiled when he talked about his professional field: "At present, with the explosion of your second specialty, several more clothing brands have come to you." There are even several DVD merchants who have come to contact, such as Philips and Aigo.
"Thanks to the high enough fee tone set for your endorsement before, their first round of offers were very impressive."
In the context of Coca-Cola giving 10 million and Anta giving 9 million, the manufacturers who are willing to come to Zhou Yi as an endorsement this year are not as humble as last year.
Less than four million can't go to the table to talk about business.
Like last year, one or two million people who signed for a few years could come to Qianjiang to talk. Because Zhou Yi was only a fledgling last year, even if Qian Jiang didn't like such a low offer, he had to be on the table.
"In that case, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money this year."
After Qian Jiang left, Chen Hao, who came to the door to call Zhou Yi to eat, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
"It's almost, it's hard to say how much you make now, mainly because there are too many channels for the album to be divided into this piece." Zhou Yi, who didn't need to worry about his body and dry rice, was in stark contrast to Chen Hao, who was eating his meal in small bites.
"It's a good singer, but it's a pity that I can't be it."
Chen Hao bent his eyebrows, and joked with a smile: "But in terms of acting skills, you are not as good as me, be careful of being crushed by me in the play." ”
Zhou Yi chose one of the roles of Li Bai, as the actor of the heartthrob, Chen Hao now has a reason to come to Zhou Yi if he has nothing to do.
After all, the role of Li Bai is the destination of the heartthrob in the play. As a heartthrob fan, it's not too much to help newcomer Zhou Yi get familiar with the lines.
In particular, Zhou Yi's own personality is not compatible with this innocent and cute character named Li Bai at all.
