"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! May I ask if Xie Tingfeng's accident has something to do with you?! ”

"Zhou Yi! Some people say that Warner has been reporting to the Hong Kong police that Ting Feng obstructed justice, which led to him being taken away by the police for investigation, is this true? ”

"Zhou Yi, so many actresses support you, do you have any response to them?"

"Zhou Yi, some people said that Ling and Faye Wong appeared near Tsim Sha Tsui last night, is it true......"

Hong Kong, Coca-Cola event site.

When Zhou Yi, who was wearing sunglasses, appeared and cooperated with the brand to promote it, in the next group picking session, the questions often asked to him were not so "friendly".

Conspiracy theories are rampant -

After all, if Xie Tingfeng's star career has really fallen since then, then in the current domestic male singer market, only Zhou Yi can eat this large piece of meat that he has vacated easily.

Wealth is moving, and it's hard not to think about it.

"First of all, I need to make one thing clear: don't get anything on me."

In front of the camera, Zhou Yi, who was holding a large number of microphones, stood out for his integrity: "Secondly, I am an old acquaintance with many media friends in Hong Kong, I think you should know what the consequences of making me angry after spreading rumors on my head."

"If you don't want to be rectified and shut down, then my advice is not to come and take my rhythm."

“……”

“……”

“……”

Exercise!

What a fucking arrogance!

Some reporters who originally wanted to take advantage of this popularity to draw two sums of money for Zhou Yi to earn some living expenses suddenly retreated in their hearts.

The main reason is that he has a criminal record, and he is well versed in the mystery of procrastination.

Unlike ordinary celebrities who sue newspapers for spreading rumors just to make people apologize, Zhou Yi sued him to drag his opponent to the point of bankruptcy.

Even if it is a lawsuit that can be won quickly, Warner's luxury lawyer team will not win it all at once - it just relied on cumbersome prosecutions again and again, and after the case was closed, it was a series of lawsuits for different reasons to force the main body of the newspaper to collapse -

just doesn't let you open the door to do business safely, and doesn't even plan to let you open the door, which can be called a hooligan style.

In the words that circulate in the paparazzi in the entertainment industry, that is, Zhou Yi's face is gone.

Before Zhou Yi, no celebrity was willing to spend so much money just to use a lawsuit to drag down these big, medium and small newspapers.

One of the great pleasures of Zhou Yi fans in Taiwan now is to wake up every day to see if the newspapers that are still in a lawsuit with Warner have announced their closure or bankruptcy.

As a result, gossip newspapers and weekly magazines such as "Apple Daily" and "Next Magazine", which have huge financial support behind them, can still live vigorously under Warner's lawsuit bombing tactics.

This kid is really not afraid of something, and if he says it, he will go up.

"Originally, the domestic album market was steadily declining every year, and many people guessed that Warner's crazy support for Zhou Yi would last for a year at most, after all, it is very expensive and energetic to raise a lawyer to fight a lawsuit.

As a result, who would have thought that Zhou Yi's English single would be popular in the global market, and now Warner will be even more determined to help Zhou Yi fight the lawsuit to the end.

"So I warn you not to think about dragging him into the water to divert Tingfeng's attention, Zhou Jianhui will bite us directly if he is crazy, and everyone will not look good at that time."

Emperor, Chairman's Office.

Yang Shoucheng, who spread out the report in hand on the table, had a serious face, and Huo Wenxi, the agent of Xie Tingfeng, Twins and others, stood on the side, and also saw the data listed in this report-

On April 15, 2002, the single "The lazy song" released by Zhou Yi Worldwide topped the gold chart of British pop songs after two full months, with 1.368 million copies sold in the UK alone, second only to Pea Princess Kylie Minogue and others in the sales ranking.

And outside of the UK, there are markets in other European countries such as France, Italy, Germany and Spain.

Anyone who can sell songs in the English-speaking market around the world is a walking money printing machine – and it prints US dollars!

When Huo Wenxi himself saw that "the global physical sales are estimated to be about 5.47 million as of now", his eyes were straight and green, and even his breathing became a little short.

Physical singles in Europe and the United States have been around $4 since the 90s, and since the beginning of the new century, because of the rise of the Internet, the sales of physical singles have also begun to fall off a cliff.

At present, there are only a few popular singers such as Britney Spears, Real Girls, and Backstreet Boys, which are priced at $3.99.

And because it took the lead in riding the east wind of "Rush Hour 2" before its release, it became popular in Japan, even in Japan, the price of the physical single set by Warner for Zhou Yi was not the price of a rookie cabbage, but was unified at $3 a piece.

This price is also one of the important reasons for limiting domestic sales.

“…… A song sold for more than 16 fucking dollars?! ”

After a simple calculation, Huo Wenxi suddenly felt a little dizzy, and he couldn't stand steadily.

Depend on!

This is not a money grab?!

How much did it cost Zhou Yi to make a full song? Is there 100,000 yuan?!

However, seeing that Warner has also invested heavily in promoting global channel marketing, Huo Wenxi's psychology is still somewhat comforted after all.

Fortunately, after deducting marketing costs and account sharing, although Warner is also making a lot of money, it will not reach this point that is enough to make people crazy.

"Otherwise, why do you think Warner would hold him so desperately?"

Yang Shoucheng, who knew that Huo Wenxi was very good at muddying the waters, finally warned: "I don't care what kind of public relations you plan to do in Tingfeng's matter, keep one thing in mind, don't involve Zhou Yi's head." ”

As the mastermind behind often secretly breaking the news about other artists' black materials to divert the attention of his company's artists, Yang Shoucheng knows Huo Wenxi's courage and preference for Xie Tingfeng too well.

If he hadn't been warned, he would have been afraid that some moths would come out.

"In addition, you try to have a good relationship with him, and bring more people to invite him to dinner while he is still in Hong Kong, and connect with the relationship.

"Ting Feng's affairs are not good until August, September or even October, and during this time, Zhou Yi is the loudest in the domestic entertainment industry.

"If he doesn't make any messy statements about Ting Feng, then the outside media will be able to have a lot less unfavorable public opinion. Don't forget, he studied the Fa, and he never had a doorkeeper on his lips. ”

Although the two sides can no longer form a competitive relationship now, Yang Shoucheng has no doubt that with Zhou Yi's non-slippery temperament, whenever he is publicly invited to chat as a law student in front of the media, then Xie Tingfeng will have to send it thoroughly.

That kid really did this kind of thing, and he was already a little impatient without reading the speech in front of the media reporters, and directly threatened him.

"I see, I'll arrange it."

Seeing that the boss closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, Huo Wenxi nodded and began to work on public relations-

Let Xie Xian and the other older generation come out to cry about Ting Feng's difficulty, and then find other stars to talk about Ting Feng's recent pressure, and try their best to make this matter an internal matter of Hong Kong Entertainment.

And, don't let Zhou Yi, a person with high influence, come in and beat the water dogs.

Xie Tingfeng is too important to Emperor Entertainment, and he can't afford to miss a little.

After making an orderly arrangement, Huo Wenxi took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone-

…………………………………………

"Okay, I know, I'll help you ask Ah Yi then."

Warner Hong Kong Building, Qian Jiang, who answered the phone, pushed open the door of the lounge and looked at Zhou Yi, who was reading the sales data report on the sofa: "Ah Yi, the Emperor's Huo Wenxi will have dinner the night after tomorrow, do you want to go?" ”

"Huo Wenxi invited me to dinner?"

Zhou Yi was surprised for a moment, and then laughed: "What, is the emperor afraid that I will engage in popular science?" ”

"Who made you so influential now?"

Qian Jiang happily pointed to the report in the man's hand: "If this data is going to be sent, believe it or not, the media across the country will have to boil." ”

"Boiling is my business, and I'm not the only one who takes this 16 million."

Zhou Yi, who closed the report, rolled his eyes.

"Maybe you can earn that number with two singles combined." Qian Jiang is very optimistic about the prospect: "In the future, I can make a lot of money by releasing two singles every year." ”

"You rely on singles every year, I'm afraid you think too much."

Zhou Yi got up and moved his neck twice: "I still have time tomorrow night, I can go." ”

In 2002, the last glorious era of European and American entity singles, he could be regarded as drinking the last sip of soup.

At the beginning of 03, Apple's iTunes and Jobs's Internet concept officially began to conquer cities in Europe and the United States, and the market for physical singles will be destroyed into ruins.

The era of digital music where a single sells for $0.99, $1.99 is coming.

Correspondingly, it is the rise and popularity of domestic MP3 pirated songs.

"Oh yes, there's one more thing."

Qian Jiang patted his head and handed Zhou Yi a CD with "It's Dark" written on the cover: "Haidie has launched a new Singaporean male singer Adu, this is his first album released on April 12, and the momentum is very strong.

"Colleagues in the marketing department suspect that he may have a certain impact on your Chinese album sales in China this year, and the first day sales in the country are 130,000, do you want to listen to it?"

"The song "He Must Love You" in this album that has been on the charts before is very popular, and now it is a hot mess in the mainland, and the ranking is even faster than your old song."

“……”

Wednesday, 17 April 2002.

Five days after the release of the "It's Dark" album, the album's title song "He Must Love You Very Much" officially surpassed songs such as "Jiangnan", "Dusk", "The One", and "Summer Blown by the Wind", and topped the first place strongly-

Adu, a Chinese singer from Singapore, went from an unemployed unmarried young man to a supernova in just one song!

PS: It was found to be an upper respiratory tract infection, but fortunately it did not develop to bronchitis.

After taking medicine and sleeping this afternoon, I feel much better now, but I am still a little sleepy.

Two shifts will be resumed tomorrow.
