Chapter 192: Star of the Stars of the Stars

When Su Mang saw Zhou Yi again, the two twins were still accompanying him behind her—

A cloud-patterned strapless long dress with a pale golden trim perfectly outlined her proud figure, her delicate collarbones gleaming under the lights of the private dining room.

As for Su Mang herself, she was still wearing a crisp and clean white suit, just like on that An Ta event night. A huge pure silver moon-shaped earring on her earlobe was particularly eye-catching.

"You've arrived quite quickly, Zhou Yi. I thought you'd at least show up around seven thirty in the evening, but it's only seven now."

"Sister Su Mang, since you value me so much, how could I dare to dawdle? As soon as I received the notice, I canceled many social engagements and drove straight here."

Zhou Yi, in a very good mood, took off his jacket to reveal a plain white T-shirt and said with a smile.

The twenty-year-old who was so dedicated had even changed how he addressed Su Mang.

This was a God of Wealth coming to deliver money.

Secretly cursing, the slick Su Mang kept a proper smile on her face. With a glance, the two accompanying twins sat down beside Zhou Yi with beaming smiles, continuing to flatter him in the image of devoted fans.

Enthusiastic, but with limits, not giving anyone a sense of being overly eager.

"I hope I haven't disturbed your rehearsal, Zhou Yi."

Su Mang, raising her wine glass toward the man, lowered her posture relatively this time; when clinking glasses, she even actively lowered the rim of her glass by a few centimeters: "And I wish you great success at the China-Korea Song Festival."

"I have another rehearsal tomorrow, so I'll have to substitute tea for wine. I hope Sister Su Mang doesn't mind."

Zhou Yi, who silently pushed the white liquor aside, somewhat made the two twins gasp—

Wait, why is Zhou Yi so difficult to deal with?

Could all those rumors in the newspapers really be false?

Or does he look down on mainland models and only play with those from Hong Kong and Taiwan?

The twin models felt somewhat at a loss in their hearts.

Although accompanying Zhou Yi was something Su Mang had forced them to do, the fact that Zhou Yi didn't look at all like someone blinded by lust made it somewhat hard for them to make a move.

Seeing this scene, Su Mang also felt somewhat depressed in her heart.

She could swear to heaven that this time she truly had no intention of setting a trap for Zhou Yi, but genuinely intended to feed Zhou Yi some sweetness to facilitate future cooperation with him personally, bypassing Warner Bros.

Heaven is my witness, she had seriously consulted the rumors within the industry and Zhou Yi's "friends" before he debuted, specifically handpicking two twins who were good-looking and well-proportioned.

Although they weren't famous, the rules of the industry were understood by every model; logically, Zhou Yi shouldn't have needed to worry at all.

In fact, even Qian Jiang was quite puzzled by this—

"This woman Su Mang has very twisted thoughts; cooperating for one or two issues is enough, it's best not to have too much contact with her."

After a round of "toasting and clinking glasses," Zhou Yi took his leave from the three, got into the car Qian Jiang had been keeping parked by the restaurant curb, and as soon as he closed the door, his expression changed completely.

"You really are an unfeeling man."

Qian Jiang, driving, chuckled and teased: "It's amazing that not a single one of your friends before you debuted stood up to accuse you. Do you know how much hush money I prepared at the beginning?"

"Only vulgar people like you would just throw money at things." Zhou Yi, drinking water, dismissed this with disdain.

Don't you understand the truth that having more friends means having more paths?

"You're so impressive."

Qian Jiang, unable to refute, turned the steering wheel: "Oh right, increasing your training time can be put on the agenda. Anyway, you don't have any promotional runs to do next, so don't waste time if you have any.

"Concerts are very physically demanding; singers usually start training their stamina eight months to half a year in advance to ensure their condition at the time. Just go for a run when you're free."

The concert plan for Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi next year was undoubtedly the top priority for Warner Bros. Sun Yanzi was a bit better off because the queue for mainland venues was too long to manage, so only a plan for four shows was temporarily arranged.

As for Zhou Yi, there were many more; just in the Olympic Sports Center in the Imperial Capital, he would hold two consecutive shows, not to mention that applications had been approved for venues in seven or eight other cities including the Shanghai Gymnasium afterwards.

"News from the company side: the approval from Hong Kong has also been passed.

"This means that in December next year, you will become the first mainland male singer to hold a solo concert at Hong Kong Coliseum, and also the youngest mainland artist to hold a solo concert at that venue."

Starting from July 1 next year, performing consecutively in cities like the Imperial Capital, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Nanchang, and Shangrao, until reaching Hong Kong Coliseum at the end of December, with an extremely advanced online internet concert interspersed in between—

One show each for him and Sun Yanzi.

It can be said that Warner Bros.' concert arrangements for Zhou Yi were far more numerous than Sun Yanzi's mere four shows.

"Also, what is the promotional theme for the concert? I know your style, so I didn't let the company's planning department arrange it, but intended for you to come up with a theme, and then have them create a promotional plan around your theme.

"For example, regarding Sun Yanzi's concert next year, the planning department has currently set the promotional tone as 'Start', meaning beginning, symbolizing that she is starting a new journey in the music scene from now on."

To prevent promotional elements from clashing, Qian Jiang directly used Sun Yanzi's 'Start' concert next year as an example.

"'Start'?"

Zhou Yi laughed: "Then how about the promotional theme for my first-ever tour concert is called 'Star'?"

"You really are not humble at all, calling yourself a star right off the bat."

Qian Jiang's expression was somewhat strange.

Although this name didn't quite fit the style of a "newcomer" in the music scene, it seemed to have no sense of incongruity when placed on Zhou Yi.

Sun Yanzi's achievements couldn't be measured by the title of "newcomer" anymore, let alone Zhou Yi.

"Alright, I'll submit your proposal to the company and have the planning department coordinate the promotion around your theme."

……………………………………………………

The next day, Japan, Okinawa Prefecture, the Aragaki family.

As the youngest of the three sisters in the family, Arakaki Yui's exam results were very poor.

She, who very much liked the Japanese female idol group Speed, had recently attempted to take the entrance exam for the locally famous talent training school for the third time, but the result was still that her exam scores failed the review.

This made her feel very depressed.

She just danced a little bit worse, so why couldn't she be an idol?

Feeling her idol dream shattered, Arakaki Yui could only start eating with tears in her eyes, and also turned on the TV, preparing to watch a morning drama with her meal.

The next second, an advertisement on the TV suddenly popped up with a handsome guy whose promotional slogan was extremely frightening—

"Star of the stars of the stars! A Chinese beauty of a young man seen once in a hundred years!"

Huh?

Star among stars, star among stars?

What does this mean?

A star among stars, a superstar among superstars?

Who is this Chinese person?
