Chapter 385: Korean Entertainment 2002 (6K)
"Yes, yes, yes! That's how it feels! I just like him like that! ”
At the Seoul Circuit and in the rest area, several well-dressed orthodox ladies teased each other.
When girlfriends gather, there will always be words of tigers and wolves.
For a group of women who have always suppressed and broken away from their nature in their respective families, Zhou Yi's inherently destructive external performance is really too appetizing.
The only pity is that he is Chinese, not Korean.
As long as it was a Korean star, they would have started calling a long time ago.
In the case of not wanting to queue up with those ordinary civilians to have a fan meeting, a few people who were interested in Zhou Yi even set their eyes on Li Yinxin, who was still drinking water.
The entrance of the Shilla Hotel.
Seeing that the distinguished guests were about to be surrounded, Li Fuzhen immediately made a gesture, and the security personnel immediately rushed up to open the way for Zhou Yi and his party.
To be honest, since she became involved in the operation and management of The Shilla Hotel in 2001, she has received many foreign celebrities who have come to Korea - all of them are smiling and saying good things.
It's hard to make money.
But like Zhou Yi, that's really unique.
Li Fuzhen originally thought that Zhou Yi's arrogant personality during his trip to Europe and the United States was just an image specially planned by Warner in order to arrange for him to enter the international market, but now it seems that this thing is really not a human design-
As one of the countries deeply influenced by the ancient Confucian cultural circle, South Korea is most admired by the whole society from top to bottom that the younger generations cannot refute the mouths of the predecessors.
If Zhou Yilai Han can show the humble impression that Chinese has always been outside, then maybe there may be less scolding against him on the Internet, but it's a pity that he just came and rode his face directly......
"Zhou Yi, may I ask what you mean by this?"
"Zhou Yi, may I ask you ...... this is a provocation?"
“……”
The reporters who had heard Zhou Yi's arrogant name for a long time couldn't close their mouths with joy, ignoring the security of Warner and the Shilla Hotel, they broke in, followed Zhou Yi's ass and kept asking, and the look on his face that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic almost put "Brother, you can say a few more words, brother" to the brain.
At the beginning, the female reporter who was then hung up by Zhou Yi put the sunglasses in her pocket, and chased after them, hoping to get something more - after all, Zhou Yi's fans are really willing to spend money to buy idol things.
With the live broadcast as proof, 100% of what she got was Zhou Yi's original flavor!
Qian Jiang, who had long been accustomed to it, followed behind Zhou Yi and commanded the team members without hurrying, causing the people at the Shilla Hotel to look a little more anxious.
"Welcome to Seoul, Mr. Zhou."
Li Fuzhen, who took the initiative to greet him, had a smile on his face that was enough to make people feel like a spring breeze: "My name is Li Fuzhen, if you encounter any problems in the hotel, you can call me directly, this is my business card." ”
"Hello Miss Li."
It was the first time for Zhou Yi to see this three-star eldest princess who would become popular in China with a short video in the future, she was not so beautiful that she was earth-shattering, but her temperament was a plus.
Li Fuzhen, who knows better than anyone how he needs to be in Samsung, can step by step to the center of power, obviously cares about his personal image very much, not only personally appeared for Zhou Yi as an introducer to introduce the history of the Shilla Hotel, but also personally made the east, and enthusiastically arranged a luncheon for the guests and hosts.
The small mouth is like smearing honey, and even Qian Jiang, a veteran agent who has been in the field for a long time in China, has been praised a little floating.
"I'm a good girl, the eldest daughter of the three stars toasted me, I never thought that I would have such a bright day."
After being full of wine and food, Qian Jiang, who returned to Zhou Yi's suite, talked about it with a somewhat incredible tone.
In his impression, with Samsung's monopoly position in South Korea, it is really not too much for Li Fuzhen to say that the eldest princess.
"Her eldest daughter has been assigned to take care of the marginal business, don't take it too seriously."
Zhou Yi, who was comfortably sunk into the soft sofa, didn't care: "Now she is just a simple hotel general manager, and trying her best to serve every guest is a performance for her." ”
Because of the fact that he was going to marry a bodyguard, Li Fuzhen after marriage was completely beaten into the cold palace by his father within the Samsung Group, and was assigned to the Shilla Hotel, which can be said to be a marginal place within Samsung.
It's not the president of the airborne, it's just a management position.
If Li Fuzhen hadn't opened a few veteran management levels cleanly as soon as he took office, maybe he would have been hollowed out directly.
"Power, ......"
Qian Jiang, who also understood the way of the way, couldn't help but shake his head: "It's still the little three-star princess who can see clearly, and people simply don't enter any three-star department, they just keep playing, and when the time comes, the commercial marriage will pull it down." ”
The head of Samsung has three daughters, the eldest daughter is rebellious to "get married", and the second daughter is an honest business marriage; Now she has a third daughter who is not married, and she is scolded on the Korean Internet every day, exercising her psychological ability to resist pressure.
Zhou Yi smiled and said nothing.
Now in the eyes of outsiders, Li Yinxin, who is a good girl, is not very healthy, she was born in a chaebol and is already walking on thin ice, and she will be scolded by netizens every day when she grows up.
It is precisely because of this that the rebellion hidden in this woman's heart is much more serious than that of her eldest sister.
"Forget it, anyway, Samsung's internal affairs have nothing to do with us."
After shaking his head and shaking out the strange thoughts in his mind, Qian Jiang turned to open the notepad and reconfirmed the next itinerary to Zhou Yi according to the above records.
"First of all, the three most prestigious universities in Korea, Yonsei University, Seoul University, and Korea University, your fan base in Korea is basically the student group, and it is necessary to have a meeting at the university......
Aside from these three three-legged universities in South Korea, in the next ten days, in addition to Seoul, there is also Busan, the second largest city in South Korea, waiting for the emperor's luck.
In addition, SM and DSP, two companies that have purchased the cover copyright of Zhou Yi's songs, also have activities to invite Zhou Yi to come to the platform.
It can be called the reincarnation of a live donkey.
"I'm so popular now, why do I still have so many activities to attend?"
"Don't get cheap and sell well, just these resources, do you know that many top stars can't get them at one time? Li Zhenxian, who told you before, has not been able to smash the top resources in ten days until now. ”
Qian Jiang glanced at Zhou Yi, who began to wail as soon as he talked about work, and advised with "bitter heart": "In addition, have you remembered a few Korean greetings that you learned?" ”
"Hmm."
Zhou Yi can still grasp this wealth password.
It's all here to make money, and he can still learn two sentences of Korean to say hello, which is the same as the half-baked "love China" and "mud good" when foreign stars come to China.
As for when the program clips are transmitted back to China, will anyone in China complain about his Korean accent...... That's the.
Virtue.
Foreigners who speak Chinese half-baked boast vigorously, and Chinese who speak two foreign languages have to be corrected by a group of foreign language police.
Many foreign celebrities speak with incorrect accents.
Zhou Yi, who reviewed the greetings twice on the spot, went into the recording studio in the afternoon and began to make a demo.
…………
On the morning of the next day, a sign was put up early to welcome the arrival of Zhou Yi (), and the gymnasium in Yonsei University was full of people-
Most of the fans on the scene who knew that Zhou Yi loved magenta and wine red held support sticks of related colors, and many fans also held light signs and posters with Zhou Yi's Chinese name and Korean name.
Kim Hyun-joo is a member of the Joo-Yi fan group, even though she is not from Yonsei University.
As an advertising expert, as she approaches the end of the year, she naturally wants to join in the excitement when she has no work schedule in the past few days.
It's an opportunity to get up close and personal with the idol Zhou Yi.
The time has not yet come, and Warner is still trying to maintain order on the scene as much as possible - no way, there are too many people today.
Even though it had been screened in advance for safety reasons, the number of people who attended the meeting was still fixed at about 1,500.
Looking at the past, there were a lot of people, and Kim Hyun-joo, who was wearing a mask, even felt the heat.
"Why hasn't Zhou Yioba come yet?"
"Don't worry, according to Oba's usual time, it should be 10:08, isn't there all the signs written over there?"
"Huh? By the way, which department are you from? ”
"Ah, I'm ......"
Many Yonsei University students around him are still communicating with each other, and Kim Hyun-joo, who graduated from Kyung Hee University, didn't squeak when she heard it, but silently pricked up her ears and began to listen to gossip.
As the first stop of Zhou Yi's visit to Korea, choosing Yonsei University is also a language convenience.
It is the first university in Korea to offer an all-English curriculum, and it is also the first university to start a partnership with a Chinese university in the 90s. The university students are also highly educated, and the meeting will not be cold at that time.
Wait until 10:08, in the passionate singing of the host on the spot, the protagonist came as promised-
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the world's king of pop - Zhou with warm applause! Easy! ”
A very trendy hairstyle with bangs, a slim burgundy coat with loose trousers, and a pair of leather shoes on his feet.
The perennial fitness brings Zhou Yi's figure can make him support the aura required by the coat very well, and his strong shoulders at a glance also make Koreans who gradually begin to like fitness as a representative of the standard body.
The most typical is South Korea's new star Rain this year, whose agency Jyp packages it as "South Korea's Little Zhouyi", which has really attracted a lot of attention.
It can be said that Zhou Yi's hairstyle, dress, and figure can basically be said to have continued the influence of Li Ming and Zhang Guorong in South Korea in the past, and even further evolved into a dominant position, becoming the object of imitation by countless young Koreans.
"Ani Hase~"
Zhou Yi, who walked on stage easily, took the microphone handed over by the host, and when he raised his hand to greet the audience, the Korean greeting that was not particularly proficient made the audience fall into a boiling mood for a while!
"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! ”
“!!!”
“Spike! Spike! ”
“……”
For a time, there were also people in the audience who shouted Chinese names, Korean names, and even English names.
"I'm Zhou Yi, (Wo Aini)~"
Although you can hear that the foreign accent is very strong, and the tone of the Korean voice sounds strange, this does not prevent the fans in the audience from moving.
Obviously, you can use Chinese or English directly, but my brother actually learned to greet us in Korean for us!
He was working so hard that I cried to death!
Don't you have to buy a few more new albums, a few new peripherals, and then support my brother?!
Buy!
Buy hard!
In South Korea, where fandom culture is prevalent, the hearts of fans are so satisfying.
The hostess on the side was also smiling, and her face didn't know if it was pure natural or artificial, anyway, Zhou Yi looked weirdly good-looking.
"OK, welcome to Korea, to Yonsei University, Zhou Yi."
After the cheers of the audience, the hostess took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Yi and guided him to sit on the sofa.
"Thank you."
Zhou Yi, who thanked him in response, did not forget to wave his hand to the audience after taking his seat, which caused a scream.
It's a shame that this is a meet-and-greet, or it's in a top university in South Korea, otherwise it's hard to say what the order will become.
After all, with Zhou Yi's treatment as a fan of the sunspot war in South Korea now, the people who can stay to participate in the meeting and signing meeting are basically the crystallization of purification.
"You're still the first star to be able to cause such a big sensation at Yonsei University, Zhou Yi, it's incredible......"
After opening with a compliment, the smiling hostess smiled and began to interview Zhou Yi according to the rhythm, such as how she felt about going to Korea, how she felt about Korean food, and who her favorite Korean star was.
The meet-and-greet meeting, to put it bluntly, is actually a nature similar to an interview, and it can be regarded as an image introduction for the newcomer Zhou Yi.
Of course, the most important thing is the results.
Up to now, Zhou Yi's new Chinese album "Lianshan" has sold 400,000 copies in South Korea, and the cumulative global sales of the English album "Attitude Show" have reached 25.47 million copies, and currently ranks first on the 2002 annual global male singer album sales list.
"You were the first Asian singer to break into the global market, or did you write the entire songwriting yourself. As a senior musician, can you pass on a little bit of experience to us in the Korean music industry? ”
Thanks to the terrifying influence accumulated by Zhou Yiying, a new Chinese album such as "Lianshan" has actually sold more than 400,000 in South Korea since its simultaneous release, a figure that is really shocking to many Korean companies.
It is precisely because of this that it is said that SM and Dsp, the two companies, are going to come to Zhou Yi to buy cover copyrights again.
Don't care if it's suitable or not, anyway, there are dates and no dates to hug the two poles first.
"Well, how to put it, my experience is not to be afraid."
Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the sofa with one hand against the backrest and the microphone in the other, shook his head with a smile: "The European and American music circles are like that, many people mythologize them, and in fact, there are a lot of garbage over there." It's just that because of the channel, the widely circulated songs that can be heard in Asia are all high-quality over there.
"Over time, it feels like it's a holy place. In fact, there are also a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp over there. ”
Moderator: "......"
You call this sharing experiences???
Well, you're selling well, you're right.
Faced with Zhou Yi's arrogant attitude of stepping on the entire European and American music circles under his feet, the host opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to take for a while, so he stopped talking.
Because the people who can come are basically high-achieving students, the fans in the audience can basically understand English, and after Zhou Yi's words landed, they were irrepressibly restless-
Their blood boiled when they heard this.
As we all know, Koreans are usually inferior, sensitive and arrogant at heart.
On the one hand, they will think that the US military in South Korea is a hired security guard, and on the other hand, they will complain about the various privileges and illegal acts of the US military in South Korea.
In reality, he is only promised, and he strikes hard in film and television dramas.
They often fantasize that South Korea can on the head of the United States and other countries, so they often make various scenes in film and television dramas where the Republic of Korea asks other countries to come and kneel.
This should have been just a conjecture -
Until Zhou Yi was born.
An oriental singer who grew up in the East Asian cultural circle has overturned a group of European and American giants and stood on top of the world, isn't this one of the Korean dreams they imagined?
Especially Zhou Yina's arrogant attitude in Europe and the United States, which is basically the dream lover template of many Korean women and the handsome self in the eyes of many Korean men.
If it weren't for Zhou Yi's birth in Jiangxi, his ancestors would be really upright and red, and there would be no evidence to prove that he was actually Korean, and the Korean media would have begun to secretly poke and poke "plunder".
They are also afraid.
What if it turns out to be self-defeating and turns out that Zhou Yi has been upside down for two or three generations, and there are indeed relatives who have indeed entered Seoul, but what if they actually entered Seoul in another way, after all, this place in Jiangxi is ......
"As for how I feel about South Korea, I've only been in Seoul so far, and I feel pretty good. The food at The Shilla Hotel was also delicious, and the hospitality of Ms. Lee Bo Jin made me feel like I was at home. Favorite star, I don't know much about the Korean entertainment industry......"
A meeting lasts 30 minutes, followed by autographs and group photos.
The meeting also charged the ticket money, and people can't come in vain.
"Thanks for the support."
"Thank you for your support~"
"Thank you~"
Seeing that Zhou Yi had turned on the signing mode, Kim Hyun-joo was at the back of the line, and when it was about to be his turn, he suddenly took off his mask, happily took the album out of his bag, and handed it to Zhou Yi, who was incarnated as a signature machine-
"Hello Zhou Yi Oba, my name is Kim Hyun-joo, and I am currently an advertising model."
"You can see that you are beautiful."
Zhou Yi smiled and signed the blessing message: "I wish you a prosperous future and a successful career, Miss Jin." ”
"Can you sign my scarf?"
"Absolutely."
Kim Hyun-joo, who got the autograph, took a photo with Zhou Yi again, and then left with a smile.
I was busy all the time, and I was busy until half past twelve at noon.
Zhou Yi, who was so tired that his wrists were shaking, finally sent away all the fans, and then the whole person collapsed on the chair, shaking his hands and grinning
On such a day, the guarantee will come nine more times......
Oh no, and there are signings, which add up more......
And just when he was about to bargain with Qianjiang, the fans who left began to gradually spread the topic of this scene to the outside world-
"The European and American music circles are also rubbish";
"My album sells well, I shall prevail".
"There Are No Modest Young People"
《……》
With the fact that some fans posted autographed photos and CDs combined with those remarks in Zhou Yichang, public opinion on the Korean Internet became lively again.
It's just that this time is different from the last time, this time it's Zhou Yi's fans who have overwhelmed all the sunspots-
"The total sales of English albums around the world have accumulated more than 25 million, who dares to say that there is a problem with what Zhou Yi Oba said?!"
"You can do it! Oba has done it! ”
"At the scene, Zhou Yioba was very gentle, he didn't look like a newspaper smearing at all, and he would even say hello in Korean."
“……”
The explosive results of "Attitude Show" are the confidence of Zhou Yi's fans, and even Rain, who has just become famous this year, has been affected, and a large number of Zhou Yi's fans have criticized him for having no morality, and he actually rubbed Zhou Yi's popularity.
"Rain, what's that? He deserves it too?! ”
In the case of Zhou Yi's high-intensity haunts in Seoul and Busan, South Korea for three consecutive days, Zhou Yi's popularity is getting higher and higher, and more and more Koreans really recognize this genius man from China.
In the past, when Zhou Yi did not arrive in South Korea, Rain, who relied on the name of "South Korea's Little Zhou Yi" and ate a lot of benefits, was attacked by traffic this time-
When pirated goods meet genuine goods, both appearance and results are killed by Zhou Yibang, and the business ability of the scene is even more heaven and earth.
Even his proud height of 185 now seems to be somewhat watery, especially after many Zhou Yi fans picked up the high heels that Rain wore when he participated in the event.
You must know that Zhou Yi is a real flat bottom.
Park Jin-young, the president of JYP, who single-handedly dug Rain, was a little helpless, and asked fans not to attack Rain in several public interviews, saying that it was a nickname given by some media friends at the beginning, and it was not the original intention of JYP and Rain.
And it was precisely since the affected Rain that at the end of 2002, the Korean entertainment industry also became turbulent because of the arrival of Zhou Yi.
SM's leading girl group, SES Group, has been rumored to be disbanded when the contract expires, and now there are rumors that the three of them are at odds with each other, and they want to eat with Zhou Yi in private;
DSP's leading girl group.L group even spread the news that the two goddesses, Li Xiaoli and Cheng Youli, wanted to talk with Zhou Yi all night and invited songs by the way.
As for the "Zhou Yi's old enemy Li Zhenxian", which was originally in the mouth of the Korean media, she expressed her appreciation for Zhou Yi in interviews several times, and joined the scandal package strongly.
directly led to the "confrontation between men and women" between Zhou Yi's sunspots and fans more serious.
After all, these female singers are all well-known in the Korean entertainment industry, and they all have a lot of husband fans.
"I'll admit that he does sing very well, but he's only been here for a few days? Why are there so many scandals? ”
In the Shilla Hotel, Li Yinxin, who came to look for her sister, saw her sister's various newspapers on the coffee table and was puzzled.
"It's just hype."
Li Fuzhen saw through Warner's old trick at a glance, and immediately threw an envelope into his sister's arms: "There will be an event in three days, and Zhou Yi will participate." If your friends want to know Zhou Yi, they can go to this event. ”
