China Entertainment 2000

"This is Qian Jiang, a senior agent in the company. You guys need to get used to it during this period. If you need it, you can tell me later."

In the general manager's office, after completing the formal signing, Zhou Yi met with the agent he would need to contact in the next four years under the introduction of Bole Zhou Jianhui.

He is estimated to be in his forties, with a crew cut, a somewhat chubby figure, and a smile that looks a bit like Maitreya Buddha.

The moment he saw Zhou Yi, Qian Jiang, whom Zhou Jianhui called his senior manager, took the lead in extending his hand to Zhou Yi: "You are a very handsome young man. Jianhui has recommended a good talent to me this time."

Although the accent has been partially improved, it is still obvious that this person is from Hong Kong Island.

"Hello Mr. Qian."

Facing this unfamiliar prospective agent, Zhou Yi didn't show any stage fright. He shook hands and greeted him with a smile.

"This title is too formal. I am 43 years old. If you don't mind, you can just call me uncle. It's a bit closer. I'll call you Ayi. How about it?"

"Then I have to ask Uncle Qian to worry about me."

Zhou Yi's stupid change of password made Qian Jiang's eyes brighten, and the smile on his plump face suddenly became more real.

He is optimistic about this kind of artist.

I originally thought that Zhou Jianhui asked him to take care of a young child as a nanny, but judging from his conversation, he felt that he really had a lot to do.

"The company has arranged for you to live in the East District of Taipei. It is relatively close to the company and is convenient for you to record songs and go back and forth."

Seeing that the two people in front of him had finished their greetings, Zhou Jianhui handed a complete rental contract to Zhou Yi: "The confidentiality of this community is pretty good, and there are also some famous stars in Baodao living in it, so there is no need for privacy issues. Worry."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Looking over the rental contract with Warner's name on it, Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised.

The treatment was somewhat good. He thought it was just ordinary accommodation. After all, he hadn't debuted yet and hadn't even made a song.

"You're welcome, polish your album and leave the rest to the company." As the boss, Zhou Jianhui patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder and encouraged him from the bottom of his heart: "This is the company you signed with. It’s meaningful, isn’t it?”

It has to be said that it is not unreasonable for Zhou Jianhui to lead Warner back to the top in the domestic market. It's a pity that the place where he is is called Warner.

If I remember correctly, Zhou Jianhui left Warner in 2006 or 2007. After that, Warner fell into a brief period of internal strife and chaos, so that some artists who changed jobs were forced to encounter Xuezang, many of whom The top big names on the market at that time, such as Elva Hsiao.

Putting the key to the community given by the company into his pocket, Zhou Yi said goodbye to Zhou Jianhui and followed his "temporary" agent out of the door of Warner Bros. for this month.

"Get in the car, Ayi. I'll take you to where you live first." Qian Jiang stood in front of a Mercedes-Benz and waved to him, which really gave Zhou Yi a glimpse of his ability as an agent.

In 2000, an agent who had the money to buy a Mercedes-Benz did have two tricks up his sleeve.

Qian Jiang, who also took this opportunity to secretly observe this young man from the mainland, was also very satisfied.

He had taken a lot of time off due to family reasons before, but when he came back this time, he was sent by Zhou Jianhui to take care of the children. He didn't take it seriously at first, just treating him as a new person.

It was Zhou Jianhui who gave him a small start and highlighted Zhou Yi's possibilities. Only then did he observe the child with the eyes of an emperor and superstar.

"Uncle Qian, are you from Hong Kong?"

"Yeah, how's it going? My accent has improved pretty well, right?"

Knowing that Zhou Yi was looking for a topic, Qian Jiang naturally didn't let the words fall off his tongue after starting the car. He laughed and joked: "I used to have to travel across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and my ability to communicate in Mandarin was a big challenge in the beginning.

"Jianhui also asked me to be your agent because he knew you were from the mainland."

As one of an artist's closest fighting partners, it is still very important for a manager to be able to have friendly and pleasant communication with the artist.

Having traveled across the Taiwan Strait and across the Taiwan Strait, Qian Jiang would naturally know some taboos. This is why Zhou Jianhui chose Qian Jiang to lead Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

Co-authored by his manager, he is a well-connected person from all over the world, and it seems that his network of contacts should be somewhat broad.

"Oh, by the way, Ayi, there's something I have to ask in advance. You have to tell me the answer truthfully and don't hide anything."

While driving and waiting at the traffic light, Qian Jiang turned to the figure in the passenger seat and asked: "You are such a handsome boy, do you have a girlfriend now? Or, have you ever had a girlfriend in the mainland?"

“If so, how many are there?

"Is it a peaceful breakup? Is there anyone you have any conflicts with?"

Qian Jiang looked very serious when he asked this question, and it was obvious that he was not joking at all.

For current artists, the question of whether or not they have a girlfriend involves the image that the company wants to position.

"I don't have a girlfriend, nor have I ever had any emotional entanglements with anyone. But as you said, Uncle Qian, I look so handsome, so..."

Zhou Yi shrugged and did not say what he said clearly, but he believed that Qian Jiang, an old man, could understand the meaning.

Not having a girlfriend doesn't mean he doesn't have female friends, especially the kind of female friends who are greedy for his body.

He has sung folk songs and rock music, and he is tall, sunny, and handsome, and he must be a piece of Tang monk meat on the way to find scriptures.

"understood."

Qian Jiang nodded clearly: "Then what do you think about your external image?"

"Just don't build it in the direction of a pure and loving young master. I can do anything else."

After hearing this, Zhou Yi responded decisively.

He is very clear about his nature.

There are not many people who can resist the temptation of having a safe one-night stand with the real beauties in the current entertainment industry, and he is definitely not one of them.

In this way, it is best to avoid this minefield in image building.

For people in this circle, whether you are carefree or not mainly depends on the image created by the company.

A typical example is Tao Zhe, who is known to be a playboy, but this does not prevent his albums from selling well.

There have been many scandals since Jay Chou became famous. From diva Li Wen to his own MV heroine, even some young models have had scandals with him.

If we really want to make a distinction, we can say this: After Kun Ling was exposed, Jay Chou is the image of a good man who cut off his own scandal.

Not to mention Lin Junjie, who is still a "trainee" in Haidie.

In Zhou Yi's impression, among the four Zhou Wang Taolin, the only one whose reputation has suffered a major collapse in this regard is actually Wang Lihong in 2021, because he is the only one among the four who has an external image of a high-quality young man.

"Okay, but I have to remind you that you still have to pay attention to some situations. If something unexpected happens, you have to tell me. Don't hide it from me."

As an agent, especially one who witnessed the golden age of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, Qian Jiang didn't care at all about the male-female love between artists.

These days, among all the talented people, there are only a few who are not romantic.

Is Dou Wei from the Mainland talented enough? Are his romantic debts small?

Mainland talent Zhang Yadong has just produced a hit album. Does he have a little romantic history?

This is the case even in the conservative Mainland, and it goes without saying in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Rolling Stone Records, which is currently the biggest player in the record industry, has two people who are famous in this regard——

Li Zongsheng is famous, and Liu Milkcha, the first sister of the company, is even more important.

"I understand, I will inform you if there is any situation -"

Zhou Yi, who understood the stakes involved, agreed. Just as he was about to continue, his words were interrupted by a sudden ringtone in his pocket——

I took it out and saw that the number in the note was: Cheng Hao.

The heartthrob who will become a national star with "Pink" in the near future.

ps: I could have written two chapters, but it took me a while to look up some information. Some detailed information is really unavailable, maybe Assi.

Let’s put the information to use now. I’ll update it tomorrow~
