Chapter 403 I'm Not a Teenager
To be honest, Zhou Yi is not making a fuss about nothing.
China Mobile is still unsure about the money prospects of ringtones, and it only dares to start the pilot in four cities.
But once this behemoth reacts, the future will either be endless wrangling, or it will have to bow its head and admit defeat and take a small profit, while the big profits will be swallowed up by operators including China Mobile.
This is no joke.
The person in charge of China Mobile was sweating profusely. The group of luxurious lawyers on the opposite side was really nitpicking, but he was helpless.
When Sun Yanzi, who had finished his work, returned to the Warner Capital Building humming the tune of "Green Light", he could see the closed door and the long-on lights when he walked past the conference room several times-
"Strange, is there any department in the company holding a meeting today? Why don't you have dinner? It's almost 7:30."
Sun Yanzi, who came to see his teacher Li Sisong, asked curiously while chewing chocolate and complaining about staying up late and getting up early.
Because of Zhou Yi, Warner's work focus has gradually shifted to the mainland. Sun Yanzi, who has surpassed Xiao Yaxuan in popularity in the mainland with the number of Gemini fans, has also shifted his work focus to the mainland.
"Ayi hired a team of lawyers on his own, it is said that it is because of a contract."
Looking at the student who used his office as a snack storage room, Li Sisong was a little helpless: "When did you hide chocolate here again?"
"Hehe, don't pay attention to these details."
Sun Yanzi, who was chewing a chocolate bar like a hamster to replenish his energy, was stunned at first, and then subconsciously glanced at the green plant pot not far away from the corner of his eye, grinning and trying to get away with it: "Zhou Yi is back?"
"Back, don't you watch the news?"
"I'm busy until two in the morning and go to bed and get up after four. I don't have time to catch up on sleep during the event, so how can I have time to watch the news. Chen Zeshan won't tell me this. He will only tell me that the work is not over yet and I can't rest yet."
Sun Yanzi's eyes lit up when he heard that Zhou Yi was back, and his tone suddenly brought some joy.
Heaven and earth can bear witness that since Zhou Yi started promoting her album "Lianshan" in October, she has not had a good day. She is either being exploited or on the way to being exploited every day.
She only sleeps two or three hours a day when she is busy. She was so tired that she almost fell asleep on the sofa when answering questions from netizens on a Taiwanese online program, and almost caused a live broadcast accident.
The effect of such high-intensity work on her is the continued popularity of her new album "Leave".
If it weren't for a singer named Huang Pinyuan who also became popular all over the country by singing "Xiao Wei", she would have been the brightest star from November to now.
"It's your job to promote the album."
Li Sisong, who didn't know what the student was thinking, glanced at her: "Also, don't hide snacks in my place next time."
"Okay, next time for sure!"
Sun Yanzi grinned as he pretended to salute, and then crumpled the chocolate bag in his hand into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Li Sisong had no choice but to shake his head and handed her a document: "At present, the company is planning to ask Kuraki Mai to help you enter the Japanese market. The other party has agreed to sing the lyrics you wrote yourself. You can put it in the next album to try."
Since Zhou Yi went abroad, the new generation of musicians, although they don't say it, at least they really have a tendency to go abroad.
Wang Lihong, who is backed by Sony, was the first to take this step. This year, he even got the qualification to compose and sing the theme song of the Asian version of the movie "Spider-Man".
However, although the movie "Spider-Man" was a big hit, the Asian version of the English theme song "Like A Gunshot" written, composed and sung by Wang Lihong did not make even a little splash.
Recently, with the box office explosion of "Hero", Wang Lihong's diehard fans were pressed to the ground and rubbed ten thousand times by Zhou Yi's diehard fans.
Including but not limited to "If you don't have the ability, don't learn Zhou Yi to promote movies", "Rush Hour, Hero, go back to the United States", and other seemingly minor frictions are the mainstream public opinions of the Chinese Internet singers' fan circles during this period.
Wang Lihong's diehard fans gave up the masterpiece "Rush Hour" and turned to accuse Zhou Yi of helping the evil and using his influence to help Zhang Yimou engage in unfair competition based on the public opinion that the plot of "Hero" is a big bad movie. The two sides are fighting fiercely.
Especially after the list of the Spring Festival Gala was leaked.
Wang Lihong, who participated in the Spring Festival Gala last year, did not appear this year, but Zhou Yi's name is still as stable as Mount Tai.
In this atmosphere, Warner, which has made a fortune in silence, has also reached a cooperation contact with the new generation Japanese singer Mai Kuraki. The other party is also envious of the Chinese-speaking market. In addition, with Zhou Yi's influence in Japan, this cooperation is naturally a perfect match.
"Agree? OK, then I'll try."
After getting the score of "My story, your song" from the teacher, Sun Yanzi, who was extremely excited about this cross-border cooperation, wanted to find Zhou Yi to share his joy as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, he sent him a text message first.
What if he was also in the conference room? It would be bad to disturb him by calling.
"Collaboration with Mai Kuraki?"
In the lounge, Zhou Yi, who was also busy and had dinner until now, saw the screen lit up and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
If I remember correctly, this song seems to be written by Sun Yanzi herself and composed by Li Weisong?
As the first cross-border cooperation song that Sun Yanzi wanted to expand the market, "My story, your song" did not make any splashes. In terms of popularity, it is not even as popular as the second cooperation song "Tonight, I feel close to you" of the two in the future.
Because the effect did not meet expectations, after these two songs, the two sides no longer cooperated because of their respective situations.
Sun Yanzi, who knew from the text message that Zhou Yi was eating in the lounge, also smelled the smell and came over to grab the food-
She was hungry too.
"You can't blame me for this. I've only eaten one or half a day recently. When I'm hungry, I just eat some biscuits or bread."
Sun Yanzi, who hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to eat as soon as he met, looked at the dishes on the coffee table and swallowed unconsciously.
Fried pork with peppers, boiled cabbage, and spicy and sour potato shreds.
The chocolate that I had just eaten was no longer fragrant.
"Chen Zeshan, aren't you afraid that you'll starve to death on the road?"
"I've already had a meal, so I'll consider it as losing weight."
"...You? Losing weight?"
Zhou Yi, who was eating hard, looked up with a potato shred hanging from his mouth. He looked up in surprise at Sun Yanzi, who had finally gained a few pounds of weight and now lost weight again: "Are you planning to weigh five pounds with the box?"
"...???"
Sun Yanzi, who hadn't reacted at first, grinned and said after coming to his senses: "I'll stuff it in the box for you, thank you."
"Then I'm afraid you can't stuff it in."
Zhou Yi smiled and pointed to the lunch box on the other side: "That's Qian Jiang's. He's still negotiating with people in the conference room. If you're hungry, eat it first. I'll ask my assistant to prepare one for Qian Jiang."
"It's a deal."
Sun Yanzi, who was just angry, quickly took Qian Jiang's lunch box for himself. At the same time, he turned on the TV skillfully, ready to find a variety show to watch while eating.
The operation was smooth and smooth. When Zhou Yi looked up after sending a message to his assistant, Sun Yanzi's chopsticks had already reached into his bowl to pick up the meat...
"?"
"You didn't tell me that Qianjiang's lunch box was a fat-reducing meal. It was just that bland soup."
Facing Zhou Yi's gaze, the petty Sun Yanzi grinned and confidently showed his front teeth that were still stained with rice grains.
In front of her, there was a bowl of carrots and shredded pork and a bowl of cucumber slices.
"Look at it yourself, this is just a little bit of food, how can you feed the cat?"
"It's good enough for you to eat some, you're so picky." Zhou Yi pouted.
Even so, he sped up the speed of his chopsticks and piled the meat into his own bowl first.
Sun Yanzi, who thought he would give in, suddenly widened his eyes, and then the two pairs of chopsticks started a hearty proxy war on the plate.
The TV was playing a special program of "The Same Song": Approaching Korea: "China-Korea Song Contest".
Zhou Yi on the stage was radiant, singing "Young people are naturally wild, and their hearts are as bright as the sun" with high spirits;
Zhou Yi in reality was "hateful", fighting for meat with Sun Yanzi, who was powerless...
Sun Yanzi, who failed miserably, was caught and pressed on the sofa with both hands, watching the little carrot and pork stock on his plate being whistled away by Zhou Yi, who was so proud that he was grinning in anger, which didn't look like acting at all.
Sun Yanzi, who was stubborn, glanced at the Zhou Yi on the TV screen: "You are the only one who is so proud of the Chinese youth? Are you worthy of this song? You don't have the virtue of respecting teachers at all."
"I'm not a teenager." Zhou Yi glanced at her sideways and said confidently.
Sun Yanzi: "..."
