Chapter 157: The First Challenger
In August 2001, Deng Chao, who would be a senior when the school started, was somewhat anxious.
Although the first TV series he starred in last year, "Fertile Soil Under the Yellow Sand", performed well, it has not yet been broadcast, and it has not brought him much personal fame growth.
As a Chinese opera student, in the case of 95, 96, and 97 for three consecutive years, there have been many seniors who have become famous, Deng Chao, who is about to enter his senior year, will naturally have a longing in his heart, and he looks forward to soaring like the seniors.
For this reason, he worked diligently to end the summer vacation early and returned to the imperial capital to try his luck and see if he could continue to mix in a few crews to test the water.
Originally, his expectation was just to find a few roles with a bit of drama to hone himself, but what he didn't expect was that on August 25th, the teacher actually contacted him, saying that he had an opportunity to play the male lead in Zhou Yi's MV, and asked him if he would like to go.
"Yes! I want to be a teacher, I do. ”
I never thought that I could be flattered by Deng Chao, a big star named by Zhou Yi.
As a native of Jiangxi, how could he not know Zhou Yi. At a young age, it has already become a business card of JX Province, and "Jiangnan", which is nicknamed the Jiangxi scenery promotional film, has been recognized by the Tourism Bureau.
He had to be kicked in the head by a donkey to turn down the opportunity.
But...... How did Zhou Yi know about him? Could it be that his Deng Chao's acting skills are so famous that even Zhou Yi, who is a singer, has heard of it?
"You, remember to buy something to thank your senior sister Chen Hao when you find time. Zhou Yi's MV is short of people, and it just so happened that she went back to school yesterday, and she thought of you, who were okay in school......"
The teacher on the phone 1510 told the reason, and the sensible Deng Chao went back to the school without saying a word to find someone to ask for Chen Hao's number.
And Huang Bo, who also received a call from Warner, looked incredulous, his first reaction after many years of experience was that he had encountered a liar and wanted to cheat money-
It wasn't until he came to Warner that he met Zhou Yi and signed his name on the contract.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Zhou."
Huang Bo never expected that Zhou Yi would still remember himself and thank him again and again.
"You're welcome, I also happened to think of Ling, your performance in "Get in the Car, Let's Go" is very good."
Zhou Yi teased his previous experience: "Little Zhou Yi, I was very impressed by this title before." ”
Huang Bo, who heard this title again, was a little overwhelmed on his face.
In the past, it was just a meal in Bar Street that needed to be promoted like this, but now he has resigned from his residency to concentrate on the film academy, and this little Zhou Yi is a little bit of a deal.
He's still very self-aware.
With his own appearance, he said that the bankrupt version of Zhou Yi was all about putting gold on his face.
"This is the script of the MV of "Goodbye", you are familiar with it, the time is relatively tight, and filming will start tomorrow."
"Well, I won't let you down."
Even though he is much older than Zhou Yi, Huang Bo still insists on using honorific titles.
He has read the book of "Goodbye", and it is essentially a small theater story that can resonate.
The young protagonist played by Deng Chao and the middle-aged protagonist played by him intersect in the trajectory, and the former classmates scattered and gathered, gathered and dispersed.
The performance didn't feel very difficult for him.
The main thing is that he has a lot of roles.
"In that case, I'm afraid your graduation EP will have to delay the release until early September."
Qian Jiang, who planned the time according to the schedule, reminded: "It also takes time to stock up, you wasted too much time in the crew in "Those Years". ”
"You can't blame me for this, the company insisted on me acting." Zhou Yi, who felt very innocent, activated the non-stick pan skill again and directly pushed the pot out.
“……”

Qian Jiang, who knew that he was going to take the blame again, shook his head and scolded with a smile: "The "Super Interview" column has set the recording time of your special, September 7, and the broadcast time is September 13.
"Also, you have to start preparing for the Sino-Korean song meeting in November, and in addition to publicity, you have to go to CCTV to rehearse in October.
"As for those award ceremonies, I don't think I need to say anything, you are destined to have a bumper harvest this year, and there is a high probability that you will have to vomit at that time."
The strength of "Gangnam" exceeded the expectations of all record companies, including Warner, and it was the kind of explosion in terms of popularity, sales and word-of-mouth.
More than two months and nearly three months have passed, and the album "Jiangnan" still has two songs, "Jiangnan" and "Big City Little Love", which generally stand in the top ten of the major charts.
Although the new song "Stubborn" is not an album song, it is still in the top ten.
In the rankings of Hong Kong and the mainland, since reaching the top of the charts, "Jiangnan" has miraculously topped the charts for 11 consecutive weeks and 12 weeks.
11 in Hong Kong and 12 in China.
The reason why Hong Kong is the champion of the 11th week is because "Stubborn" briefly won the first place for a few days in the 10th week with its popularity, interrupting the Lianzhuang of "Jiangnan".
The only exception is Taiwan.
In Hong Kong, because of Chow Yun-fat's accident, the publicity was not as expected, and the popular F4 still maintains a very high popularity in Taiwan.
After being the No. 1 on the list for 4 weeks in "Jiangnan", the previous "Meteor Shower" overtook it again with its offline high-intensity activities, and won the No. 1 list for 7 weeks, until the outbreak of the Chow Yun-fat incident.
The tearing between him and the God of Gambling made Zhou Yi once again do "The person is obviously not in Taiwan, but his legend is still circulating in Taiwan".
After briefly stimulating the sales of the album and brushing a wave of faces, this week, "Jiangnan" once again surpassed "Meteor Shower" to sit on the first throne with its popularity, and once again achieved the dazzling results of reaching the top of the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
Xie Tingfeng's Cantonese albums are limited by audience problems, and they are completely incomparable with Zhou Yi's achievements today. And although the songs in the album "Jade Butterfly" are musical enough, there is obviously no pop song that can be on the chart for a long time.
So much so that many people are now looking forward to Xie Tingfeng's upcoming Chinese album in October, hoping that he can end Zhou Yi's strong streak on the song charts.
The emperor himself came under pressure, and he was cautious about Xie Tingfeng's Chinese album song selection, and Warner also targeted Zhou Yi's fierce rival in the mainland on Xie Tingfeng.
Sooner or later, Hong Kong will be pulled down by Xie Tingfeng, there is no doubt about this, after all, people have local advantages.
But the mainland is the basic market of Zhouyi.
If Warner wants to help Zhou Yi play an incomparably strong record in the mainland, Xie Tingfeng has to guard against it.
It's just that just when Zhou Yi's graduation EP was in full swing, the appearance of one person shocked all the record company spirits-
On September 1, 2001, Leehom Wang, a popular singer under Sony Music, released his new album "The One".
This is a singer who didn't pose much threat to Zhou Yi at all last year, and Warner didn't care at first.
However, when Leehom Wang's album title song of the same name "The One" received a lot of exposure at the beginning of its release with the help of the promotion channel of the mainland pure water brand Wahaha, the soaring popularity instantly attracted the attention of the music industry.
Before Xie Tingfeng, "The One", which was written and composed by Wang Leehom himself, was the first to take the lead, and launched a charge towards Zhou Yi with an extremely amazing attitude!
