Huayu 1992, my entertainment era

Chapter 144 Breakup
For New Era, it would be obviously unreasonable if they did not take advantage of the popularity when they knew that Zhou Ziheng was going to attend Yang Yuying's concert.

So, needless to say, Zhou Ziheng has just agreed to attend.

The New Era immediately spread the news.

Wow, this is serious.

When I learned that Zhou Ziheng would attend.

Yang Yuying had held several concerts, but none of them had more than 10,000 people attending. Finally, this time, she achieved an unprecedented attendance of more than 11,000 people.

Speaking of concerts with more than 10,000 attendees, we have to mention the commotion caused by Zhou Ziheng's concerts with more than 10,000 attendees for several consecutive shows.

Since late March, Zhou Ziheng's two consecutive concerts in Guangzhou have attracted over 10,000 people.

The mainland has directly entered the concert season.

A large number of singers from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan have collectively begun to apply to mainland venues to hold concerts.

The large number of applications for venue use has made it difficult for venue organizers in various places to choose.

The Yangcheng Evening News reported that due to Zhou Ziheng's influence, the number of concerts held in mainland China this year has more than doubled compared to last year.

It directly or indirectly affected a large number of economic industries in the mainland and stimulated economic consumption of nearly 100 million yuan.

However, to be honest, due to Zhou Ziheng's influence, the mainland's concert economic market has been further expanded.

But it is rare for someone to have sold-out concerts and more than 10,000 people for several consecutive concerts like he did.

So far, after Zhou Ziheng, the most popular person at the concert is Andy Lau.

In May, he held five concerts in mainland China, two of which attracted more than 10,000 people.

Then it was Yang Yuying.

Yang Yuying has many hit songs and has been very popular in mainland China in the past two years. She also formed a group with Zhou Ziheng called "Golden Boy and Jade Girl", and her name is very famous.

Therefore, her concerts not only have the most shows this year except for Zhou Ziheng, but also the singer with the largest total number of audiences.

However, this is the first time for a concert with tens of thousands of people.

After all, he was using Zhou Ziheng's name.

Therefore, before the concert, Yang Yuying personally contacted Zhou Ziheng and invited him to dinner.

Also with her was her current boyfriend Lai Wenfeng.

"I'm ready to retire and live a good life with Wenfeng."

At the dinner, Yang Yuying told Zhou Ziheng with a sweet face.

Zhou Ziheng did not comment on this.

It’s actually the same in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Female stars who enter this circle more or less have the idea of ​​taking this opportunity to find a rich man to marry.

Yang Yuying is obviously one of them.

I heard that since she got together with Lai, she has stopped taking any performances and stays with Lai every day.

Because the Lai family is very powerful now, although the New Era is very dissatisfied with this, they cannot push them too hard.

However, as far as Zhou Ziheng knows, Yang Yuying does not seem to retire in the future as she had expected.

Or continue to be active in the entertainment industry.

It’s just that some weird things happened in the middle.

For example, New Era has teamed up with Japanese record companies to launch it into the Japanese market.

As a result, Yang Yuying ran back to Guangzhou after staying in Japan for only a few days because of her love affair.

The result was a complete break with New Era, and both sides parted ways unhappily.

Yang Yuying finally chose to develop in the north.

As a result, it naturally passed its peak and was gradually abandoned by the market within a few years.

"Yuying, don't worry. After we get married, I will take care of the outside affairs and you will take care of the inside affairs. You won't have to work as hard as you do now."

I have to say, this requires a certain level of realm.

With such affectionate eyes, just a few words made Yang Yuying extremely happy, and she wished she could retire and become Mrs. Lai.

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you set up a record production company, are you short of funds?

I also want to get into the cultural industry recently. How about I invest some money in you?
I don’t care about the company’s affairs, I only care about the dividends.”

After flirting with Yang Yuying, Lai looked at Zhou Ziheng.

He took a fancy to Zhou Ziheng's record production company.

Although Zhou Ziheng's record production company was not the first company established in the mainland, it was one of the earliest.

Meanwhile, the production company is currently very profitable.

In addition to launching He Jin, a singer who has become popular this year, the company also undertakes the production of songs for some film and television dramas.

This aspect of the work is currently mainly handled by Li Haiying, who already has connections in this area.

He is mainly responsible for the production of music for some TV dramas.

Sometimes Zhou Ziheng also participates in the production of some film and television drama songs.

For example, the theme song of the movie "Get Addicted" starring Wang Zhiwen, a very popular actor in mainland China this year, was composed by Zhou Ziheng and sung by Wang Zhiwen.

This TV series was broadcast on CCTV in July and had very good ratings, making it a huge hit.

The song "Get Addicted" also topped many charts.

Recently, because the song received good response, Wang Zhiwen also found Hengdong and wanted to sign a singer contract with Hengdong and let Hengdong Records produce a record for him.

"Get High" has made Hengdong famous in the music production field in the mainland film and television circles. Currently, many film and television producers have contacted Hengdong and asked Hengdong to produce TV series theme songs.

Of course, Zhou Ziheng was the main target.

Hengdong Records became famous in the industry, and naturally, it also attracted the attention of others. Many people like Lai Wenfeng wanted to invest.

"I'm really sorry, but the company doesn't lack investment right now. I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Lai."

How could Zhou Ziheng dare to let this person invest?

He remembered that Yang Yuying had a rich second-generation boyfriend who was sent to jail for operating a sewing machine because he committed a crime.

Although he wasn't quite sure, it was pretty close.

Because he heard that this family's business was indeed not very glorious.

He is not afraid of offending the other party after refusing.

If he had just debuted, he might have been afraid of this person.

But now, let alone him, even if his second uncle came, he would not be afraid.

Whether in the black and white worlds, he is no longer the little singer who was manipulated by others.

Lai obviously still doesn't want to give up investing in Zhou Ziheng's record company.

After the dinner, he gave a business card to Zhou Ziheng.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm really optimistic about your record production company. If you need investment, please consider me first."

After saying that, he pulled Yang Yuying into the car.

In terms of personality, the other person is actually okay.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ziheng didn't want to have too much contact with him, so he tore up the business card and threw it into the trash can nearby.

Zhou Ziheng called the housekeeper, Huo Wenxi, "Let's go!"

"You don't want to associate with that Lai?"

Huo Wenxi asked curiously.

"If I had known he would come tonight, I would not have accepted Yang Yuying's invitation."

Zhou Ziheng replied.

"why?"

"His business has problems, and I don't want to get involved."

Looking at the night view outside the car, he said: "This guy is obviously not content to be a rich second generation guy, always wanting to invest in other industries.

Hengdong is also his target.

He is troublesome for Hengdong and me.”

Zhou Ziheng didn't want to get too involved with them, as that would lead to big trouble.

…The next night Zhou Ziheng attended Yang Yuying’s concert.

He didn't sing much. He sang "Heart Rain" with Yang Yuying and "The Waves Remain" solo, and then left the stage.

This is obviously not an ideal ending for the fans.

The next day, many fans expressed regret that Zhou Ziheng only sang two songs.

There were also fans who started to make a fuss. They found the address of Hengdong Records from somewhere and ran downstairs holding signs, hoping that Zhou Ziheng would hold another concert.

It is obviously unlikely to hold another round of concerts.

Concerts don’t take place every day and there aren’t always people attending.

No matter how popular a singer is, if you hold concerts 360 days a year, there will be a situation where tickets cannot be sold.

It is obviously impossible for Zhou Ziheng to let his concert become worthless.

Therefore, he asked people to persuade these fans to go back in a friendly manner.

……

In late August, the recording of the English album "Zhou Ziheng" was completed and most of the post-production work was also completed.

Zhou Ziheng began to focus on dance training.

After all, he didn't study dancing, so although the dance moves in his new album are not difficult, they still require proficiency.

It will be useful in future concerts.

Therefore, he had to spend a lot of time practicing.

In early September, a piece of good news came from Wanwan.

"Fairy Tale" has been in the top ten of the Wanwan Music Chart for ten consecutive months, becoming the song with the longest time on the chart after Wang Jie's "A Game, A Dream".

However, this news did not make Zhou Ziheng happy.

Because, he broke up.

The reason was that Gigi Lai could only see him once or twice a year, and she couldn't stand this kind of long-distance relationship, so she finally broke up with him.

To be honest, Zhou Ziheng does have a crush on Gigi Lai.

But to say that he likes her so much that he can't live without her is obviously impossible.

The main reason why I feel depressed is that we have been together for almost a year.

Although we were together for no more than two months, there was still some affection between us.

Now that we have broken up suddenly, I still feel a little depressed.

"I say, you're just a woman, is it necessary to be depressed all day long?"

In a teahouse near Hengdong Records, Zhou Ziheng had a rare gathering with Chen Xiaoqi.

Unexpectedly, seeing Zhou Ziheng looking unhappy, Chen Xiaoqi started to teach him a lesson on the spot.

"If I had your appearance, I wouldn't say I had three wives and four concubines, but I would definitely have no shortage of women around me."

Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but said speechlessly: "Is there anyone who can comfort people as well as you?"

"I'm telling the truth." Chen Xiaoqi lit a cigarette, looking melancholy, "But I can understand you. I was also sad for a long time when I broke up with my first love."

Taking a deep puff of cigarette, he said, “In your situation, the most taboo thing is to be alone every day.

You should try to find a new one now.

If the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come.”

"Do you have a suitable one to introduce to me?" Zhou Ziheng asked, "It can't be one of your nieces, right?"

"What are you thinking? I don't understand what you are thinking.

You, I'm sure you won't get married in ten years, how could I push my own relatives into the fire pit? "

Chen Xiaoqi looked as if he was telling you not to even think about it.

Zhou Ziheng rolled his eyes and said, "With your fat appearance, I won't accept you even if your niece introduces you to me."

"Fuck off!"

When talking about appearance, Chen Xiaoqi suddenly became angry.

His appearance has always been a point of criticism.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have moved behind the scenes.

After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "You are in this state, so you probably don't feel like working. Why don't you go out with me to relax?

I was invited to a symposium in Beijing, and they also asked me if they could invite me over.

This is a gathering and seminar for domestic musicians, and many people want to meet you.

You can come with me and take a look.”

"Are you trying to conscript me?" Zhou Ziheng looked strange.

"Ahem!" Chen Xiaoqi was a little embarrassed, but soon recovered, "You think too much, I just want you to relax."

Zhou Ziheng thought about it.

There is no rush to release the English album. He has been busy with concerts in the first half of this year, and he started working on the new album a few days after returning.

There is almost no rest time at all.

This situation is actually not good.

The so-called balance between work and rest also applies to artists like him.

He really should find a chance to relax.

It just so happens that he is going to set up a film and television company next year, and he can take this opportunity to investigate and find a director or screenwriter.

"I agree. Please inform me when you leave."

……

After making an appointment with Chen Xiaoqi to go to Beijing to relax, Zhou Ziheng returned to the company and took the time to complete the post-production of the album "Zhou Ziheng".

Then the choreographer Hai Zhuoyan was given a holiday.

In late September, Chen Xiaoqi called Zhou Ziheng and the two set off for Beijing together.

As the National Day approaches, the capital is filled with a strong National Day atmosphere, and people are everywhere who have come from other provinces to watch the military parade.

Zhou Ziheng has been to Beijing many times.

He has appeared in the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years, and has also been in large-scale galas, most of which were held in Beijing.

I also attend many autograph sessions during concerts.

But, every time I come, there is work.

This time, it was his first time to visit the capital as a tourist, and the feeling was completely different.

In less than a few days, he got over the sadness of the breakup.

During this period, he also visited friends in Beijing.

I had a drink with Cui Jian and discussed music creation with Liu Huan.

That afternoon, he came to Wang Zhiwen's residence at his invitation.

Wang Zhiwen has signed a singer contract with Hengdong Records.

In late August, the company produced a few songs for him. Because this album is relatively simple and the production speed is fast, it will be released around November.

Because they were signed to Hengdong Records, Wang Zhiwen and Zhou Ziheng were familiar with each other.

After learning that he had come to the capital, he specially invited him to visit his home.

Wang Zhiwen was born in 66 and is older than Zhou Ziheng, but the difference is only five or six years, which means they are in the same age group, so they can get along well.

Plus, this guy has always had a dream of becoming a singer, so he cares a lot about Zhou Ziheng.

When he invited Zhou Ziheng to his house for dinner, he not only prepared a table full of delicious dishes, but also invited many friends to join them.

Wang Zhiwen graduated from Beijing Film Academy and currently works at the Research Institute of the Central Academy of Drama.

Plus, if you’re an actor, your friends will naturally be people from the film and television industry.

Some of them were people Zhou Ziheng knew.
