Fans in first-tier cities are chasing stars, and second-tier cities are chasing songs; Fans in third-tier small counties are mourning, and those in fourth- and fifth-tier small towns are remembering.

If you have to use one sentence to describe Zhou Yi's status in the piracy industry at the moment, then this sentence sums it up very well.

Especially in some backward towns and villages, Zhou Yina is about to become synonymous with "untimely death", "jealous talent", and "music champion Hou".

"If Zhou Yi is not terminally ill, then with the ability he is showing now, he will definitely be able to become the king of world pop music in the future."

"Zhou Yi is like a limited-time plug-in sent by God to save the Chinese music scene, and now this limited-time plug-in has expired, and it will be forcibly recycled by God."

"Zhou Yi is a bug in the legend, right, and now it's been fixed?"

“……”

If you want to choose a game that best represents the years of the early millennium, the legend is undoubtedly the number one that deserves to be the first.

From the big Internet cafes in the bustling big cities to the black Internet cafes in the county, the game trend led by the legend made Chen Tianqiao, who represented this game, out of the limelight.

In October 2002, after a series of plug-in turmoil and bug fixes, the 1.60 version of "Bloody Condor" launched is now hot, and the rumors of Zhou Yi's repeated death have also been ridiculed by some small town youths as "legendary bugs" and "legendary plug-ins".

The news that they have compiled and polished has gradually spread through the Internet along with the small talk during the game.

Zhou Yiren looked numb.

Piracy or not piracy is another matter, why does he still like to mention the treatment of "Lilacs".

Why do netizens like to arrange tragedies so much?

Self-knife is right, saying that I don't want a knife and don't want a knife, but I really started to get stronger than one by one, and I can't wait for a terminally ill car accident amputated vegetative person to come together.

Mix pickles with a knife, what about this meal?

No wonder the Korean drama Sambo can be so popular in the future.

Thinking that he was not the only one who suffered this kind of treatment, Zhou Yi, who couldn't resist, simply lay down and pulled down. After all, the rumor of a dead girlfriend is not only Tang Sanshi's "Lilac", but also a more heavyweight Xu Shangao in the future.

You can't stop it, you can only rely on your own appearance on TV shows to make this rumor self-defeating.

"I understand the truth, but why did I die earlier than you?"

Sun Yanzi, who also knew about this from Chen Zeshan, frowned, and lay on the sofa in the hotel suite in a nightgown, knocking melon seeds in her mouth, and said vaguely: "Obviously, you are also dead in "Rainbow Room". ”

"Is that the point?"

On the phone, Zhou Yi's crying and laughing voice came.

Sun Yanzi suddenly turned her head sideways and glanced at the mobile phone that she had put on the coffee table, her white and tender little feet stepped on the sofa cushion without socks, and while chewing melon seeds in her mouth, her legs swayed without a match: "Of course it is." ”

"There's no way, your "Rainbow Room" is not as popular as my "Fairy Tale", so naturally you will die first."

"Isn't it all your songs, and you're so favoritism?"

"Is there a possibility that you are singing too crotch-pulling?"

"Ah, yes, yes, you're right."

Regarding Zhou Yi's behavior of belittling his singing, Sun Yanzi not only did not have the slightest idea of being annoyed and angry, but could even directly claim it: "I am a teacher no matter how much I cook, do you want to respect the teacher?"

"Dead scumbag, and went to Hong Kong to cheat on other people's little girls, if this was changed in ancient times, I, the teacher, would be able to directly hit you."

"I respect, how disrespectful, I shouldn't be able to see you buy papaya."

？

Sun Yanzi, who was still smiling one second ago, went crazy the next second, and a carp stiffened - well, it didn't stand up, but shook himself enough: "Cough, what are you talking about??" How do I buy that kind of thing?! ”

"Sihasiha" Sun Yanzi, who was rubbing his back, copied the mobile phone on the coffee table with one hand: "Don't slander me, be careful that I ask my father to send you a lawyer's letter!" ”

Zhou Yi on the other end of the phone chuckled: "Each other." Hang up first, I'll have to meet Li Lianlian and Zhang Yimou later. ”

"What do you see them doing? With your acting skills, they can still ask you to act in a movie? ”

"I don't know."

Hong Kong, Mandarin Oriental, Zhou Yi Suite.

Zhou Yi, who tilted his head and clamped his mobile phone, looked at himself in the mirror, and adjusted his tie with both hands: "What Qian Jiang told me, I guess it may have something to do with the soundtrack of "Hero", Zhang Ziyi also mentioned it to me before. ”

"Huh? You're going to sing to movies too? ”

Hearing this, Sun Yanzi suddenly became energetic, hehe: "I just received a notice from Chen Zeshan today, asking me if I want to sing the theme song for the movie." ”

"Really, really?"

"Of course it's true, but I don't know what movie it is, I know that it's about love, and the cost seems to be more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and you also know that it was invested by Warner Films, and Chen Zeshan helped me get this opportunity to sing the theme song of the movie."

"Go through the back door, that's fine."

"you!"

Sun Yanzi scolded with a smile, and snorted: "That is, you still have to go out now, otherwise I will let you know what strength is, and I can sing a concert to you directly over the phone." ”

"Then I suggest that you go to the operator to sign an endorsement contract first, so as to avoid playing a phone bill that can apply for Guinness World Records."

Zhou Yi, who walked out of the suite, put on the sunglasses handed over by the assistant: "I dominate the radio station, your sky-high phone bills are all world records, and we all have a bright future." ”

"Hmph, don't say it, there really is. Someone from the mobile company has contacted Chen Zeshan, but you don't have it. ”

"Is it possible that I was the first person to be contacted by the mobile?"

"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

"I'll tell you another news, Xiao Yaxuan also has someone who has moved to contact me."

“……”

Sun Yanzi, who was once again defeated in the competition, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed after the phone was hung up, and the five fingers of her left hand kept rotating the small Nokia fuselage; The right hand rests on the cheek, the index finger keeps tapping the side of his cheek, and the cheeks are bulging-

Obviously, he was summing up the experience of this failure and remembering it in a small book in his heart.

"What's the matter, Yanzi has a conflict with you?"

Qian Jiang, who was waiting for Zhou Yi to come over outside the nanny's car, opened the car door for him with a smile, and teased him after getting in the car and closing the door.

"Talk to me, my backhand was suppressed, and now I guess I've been beaten several times in my heart to get angry."

Zhou Yi, who took the water, took a sip: "What's the situation over there in "Hero"? ”

"Zhang Yimou has a friendship with Gan Guoliang, the director of Xincheng Radio, and found him to form a bureau, and Li Lianjie is also there, probably thinking about convincing you together, after all, you refused Zhang Ziyi's invitation last time."

"So persistent?"

"If they want to sell more royalties, they have to increase their weight as much as possible, and you guess you are one of them, after all, the soundtrack and the film complement each other."

"How much?"

"Three million yuan, plus follow-up royalty sharing income, they don't buy out."

Qian Jiang raised three fingers.

"So reluctant?"

Zhou Yi was really surprised at this time: "Aren't they afraid that Tan Dun will be psychologically unbalanced after he knows it?" ”

Tanton is a well-known Chinese-American composer in the industry. One of the elites who studied abroad at public expense at that time, he learned to immigrate on the spot and became an American citizen.

In 2001, he won the Best Original Music Award at the 73rd Academy Awards for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and won the Best Original Music Album Award at the 44th Grammy Awards this year.

Just a few months ago, because of a dispute over musical ideas, people from the Musicians Association openly tore their faces and sprayed each other on TV shows.

In terms of coffee position, Tan Dun, who has won various foreign awards, has a high enough status in China, but even so, his price in China can only break through the top 1 million yuan, hovering between 1.2 million and 1.5 million.

There is no way to forcibly compare the different situations abroad, but in China, the three million offered by the producer of "Hero" can already be said to be sky-high, which is a condition that breaks the ceiling of the domestic film and television drama market.

"Your commercial value is here, and Tan Dun can do this kind of thing to help Metro Radio get to the top?"

Qian Jiang shook his head: "The Grammys and Oscars won are just leftover pork awards, and they don't have much commercial value." Can you still hype up his name? Unrealistically, you are the one who has commercial value and can hype.

"How? Got an idea? My suggestion is that it can be taken, but the price should be negotiable.

"It's definitely unrealistic to convert it according to US dollars, the price of the theme song of your "Pirates of the Caribbean" is $2 million plus subsequent royalty sharing, and "Hero", I estimate that about 5 million yuan is the limit that the producer can accept."

"I don't think three million is good, but five million can be considered."

I didn't expect the producer to give so many Zhou Yi a bottom line immediately.

A movie-themed promotional song is five million, this price he estimates that he will not be able to get this number even if he takes another order in the next few years, after all, "Hero" is the right time and place, and it belongs to the kind that is out of the way.

"Okay, then you can take it easy at the dinner later, don't say yes."

Qian Jiang nodded, and finally instructed.

After arriving at the private club, Zhou Yi, who walked into the box under the guidance of a special person, also saw the man who would single-handedly brand the title of "National Teacher" from derogatory to positive in the future, and then beat the "National Teacher" back to the derogatory meaning again in the later season-

Zhang Yimou.

Next to him, Li Lianlian, who had not yet turned vicious, could still see a little kindness on his face when he smiled.

"I'm sorry for the traffic jam on the road, I'm late."

Counting Gan Guoliang, who is the east, the three of them are all two hundred years old, and Zhou Yi, a young man of twenty-one, is somewhat out of place.

"I finally saw you, I was busy in the United States before and didn't come back, and when you went to the United States, I came back to make a movie, and I didn't catch up."

As a person who practices martial arts, Li Lianlian's eyes couldn't help but light up after seeing Zhou Yi's upright body, and he got up and smiled and narrowed the distance: "My wife is saying that it's so difficult to see you, she likes your songs very much." ”

"My honor, Sister Zhi also watched the movie back then......"

In this box with only four people, Zhou Yi did not show the slightest discomfort, but gave people a feeling of ease.

He really didn't talk nonsense, who looked at the peak wisdom of Chen Long's "Double Dragon Club" back then was confused.

As for Li Lianjie himself, his movie Zhou Yi has watched more.

He hasn't seen much of Zhang Yimou's films, but he only remembers the Olympics.

"I don't know Zhou Yi, do you have any interest in the Oscars and Grammys? We now have a movie, you know, that is very ambitious. ”

After going around and around and after the foreplay was completed, Zhang Yimou and Li Lian glanced at each other, and immediately began to look forward to the future.

Oscar and Grammy, the most recognized awards by the domestic public, are also the awards that can be promoted the most in China.

The domestic entertainment industry - oh no, it should be said that the global entertainment industry people basically regard these two awards as the crown on the road of global movies and pop music.

Tanton, who was in charge of part of the composition of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" last year, just won the Oscar and Grammy, and is now also working on the soundtrack of "Hero", which is enough to prove the ambition of the film.

"Time is too tight, I'm afraid I won't be able to write any good tunes, Director Zhang."

Zhou Yi was unmoved, and shook his head with a smile: "You also know, "Pirates of the Caribbean" gave me plenty of time before I dared to take it, and it was very time-consuming to promote the theme song.

"As for talking about the Oscars and Grammys, to be honest, I really don't have much interest, because I know that I probably won't be able to get them."

Tanton's ability to win these two awards so smoothly has nothing to do with his American household registration.

Mouzi has been rushing to the Olympics for so many years, and he has won a lot of nominations, and there is not a single hair in the trophy, and he is not even willing to give one for the leftover pork award, which shows his attitude.

Don't think that the Oscars and Grammys are all awards, in fact, these two are just a few awards after a lot of pork is divided.

Especially the Grammys.

“……”

“……”

“……”

Zhang Yimou was a little numb.

Isn't this man young and vigorous? It's all about directly letting go of yourself to riding your face and outputting others.,Why do you talk like a old oilman in society now?

What a Tai Chi master.

What about the enterprising spirit of young people? What about vitality? Who else is rebellious?

You've got to stand up!

You're the future of music!

"I think you can give it a try, Zhou Yi." Li Lianlian, who came to be a lobbyist with him, also began to help speak......

……………………………………

"Try? How to try? ”

Mobile head office, in conference rooms.

Facing the plan submitted by his subordinates, several people sitting firmly in the middle pinched their pens and raised their heads to start talking.

"I think so, as our most high-end brand, what we need to seize is high-quality customers who are willing to pay this money to obtain various services, especially those who need to go abroad, round trip, do foreign trade, etc.

"After China's accession to the WTO, the global market will definitely be further expanded.

And Zhou Yi is precisely the best standard for a global business, because he himself needs to fly abroad.

At the same time, his high-end image with very few endorsements and international showmanship is also in line with our publicity and positioning for our valued customers around the world.

"And by the Dynamic Zone brand, we mean to model Warner Records and put together our own gimmick for the Thean Hou Palace. signed in with several female singers who had scandals with Zhou Yi, so that the first topic among young people is definitely very high. ”

As he spoke, the narrator also listed three candidates: "Warner Tianhou Temple is Sun Yanzi, Na Ying, and Zhang Huimei, and the age of the latter two does not meet our definition of a dynamic zone brand.

"So our initial plan is to invite Xiao Yaxuan and Zhang Shaohan to join and form our dynamic zone Tianhou Temple with Sun Yanzi, and it just so happens that all three of them have sung songs written by Zhou Yi, and we can ask Zhou Yi to write a song specifically for this new Tianhou Temple group.

"This song can also be combined with the CRBT pilot business later, with the gimmick of the dynamic zone Tianhou Temple, which can definitely attract the attention of young people for the first time and drive their consumption ......"
