Chapter 205: Male Zhou Female Sun VS Male Zhou Female Li

At this moment, even Li Zhiying, the grand sage and founding father of Hong Kong's gossip industry and the founder of Next Magazine, dared not immediately determine whether this was hype or a genuine event.

The main reason was that Warner's extensive track record of scandals, combined with Zhou Yi's completely unconventional marketing methods whenever he was involved, had left such a deep impression that it had thoroughly taught this group of media professionals a lesson.

Zhuo Wei, who had shot to fame previously with the Zhang Ziyi and Jackie Chan incident, was now sitting in his office reading the news that Sun Yanzi's new album "Kite" was about to be released, his eyebrows furrowed almost into the shape of the character "chuan".

Could it be that Zhuo Wei, having just shot to fame, was about to fall?

Unlike many of his gossip-mongering peers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Zhuo Wei had set his own track to ensure the authenticity of his reports as much as possible, resorting to fabrication like his Hong Kong and Taiwan counterparts only if absolutely necessary.

Because in the mainland, the track of authenticity clearly had very few people eating the cake yet; he felt he could make a big kill, which was also why he had previously gone to great lengths to sneak into Jackie Chan's birthday party to photograph his interactions with Zhang Ziyi.

It was also because of this authenticity that Jackie Chan and Zhang Ziyi had not yet filed any formal legal lawsuits against him.

After tasting the sweetness of "authenticity" with Jackie Chan and Zhang Ziyi, Zhuo Wei was overjoyed when he received the photos of Zhou Yi, even specially applying to his superiors for an extra bonus for the two paparazzi who had captured the detailed shots.

Only after a careful review did he publish the news in the "Daily New News".

But now, although the sales of "Daily New News" had indeed hit a new record high due to the news of "Zhou Yi and Chen Hao viewing a house together", the ensuing doubts threatened to shatter the "golden body of authenticity" Zhuo Wei had just built.

"Damn it, why is there another scandal involving Zhou Yi? Could this kid really be the Purple Star?"

The last time he fabricated news like the Hong Kong and Taiwan media, he had failed on Zhou Yi; luckily, his influence wasn't strong enough then, otherwise he would have almost ended up in jail or undergoing fifteen days of re-education just like those peers.

This time, real, genuine photos were taken; how could there still be a risk of a reputation crash?!

Is Zhou Yi really that damn sinister?

Zhuo Wei, who had just started his paparazzi career, grabbed the tuft of hair on top of his head and fell into deep thought—

If this was done intentionally by the other party, then wouldn't he, the future number one paparazzo of the mainland, be used by Zhou Yi?

Damn it, he spent money buying photos, spent money on promotion, and in the end, the influence was fully taken by Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi?!

What kind of world is this!

The more Zhuo Wei thought about it, the more he felt he was losing; looking at the articles, his heart was extremely depressed.

He is a paparazzo!

A paparazzo!

Shouldn't celebrities be sending him money to settle their scandals?! How did he instead become a fool paying out of his own pocket to boost Zhou Yi's popularity?!

Meanwhile, in the lounge of the Warner Ma Tian building.

After finishing his phone call, Qian Jiang, who had been operating on two fronts, gave a thumbs-up to Zhou Yi, who was still sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking tea: "Impressive, with just a few simple words you turned this into a hot topic."

"It just happened to coincide."

Zhou Yi, flipping through the newspaper, looked up at the time, smiled, and shook the "Daily New News" in his hand: "To teach a lesson to this young reporter named Zhuo Wei, to let him know what the Jianghu is like and how unpredictable human hearts are."

He was already unhappy about being secretly photographed; coinciding with Sun Yanzi starting to build hype for her new album, he casually took a slice out of the young Zhuo Wei to use as a sacrificial offering.

Anyway, there were already so many news stories about him and Sun Yanzi; with so many lice, one doesn't worry.

"The company has already gone to handle this young reporter with the pen name Zhuo Wei; barring any unexpected events, the 'Daily New News' should make him leave voluntarily with dignity."

Qian Jiang, whose attention had always been on the large-scale paparazzi, patted his chest and guaranteed: "If he doesn't want to be dignified, I will help him be dignified."

Qian Jiang knew about Zhou Yi's property investment matter; although Zhou Yi himself didn't care much, out of caution regarding the word "investment", Qian Jiang still felt it was better for the daring Zhuo Wei to pay a price and learn a lesson.

This was his duty as Zhou Yi's manager, to handle all trivial matters for Zhou Yi.

Just kidding, if he couldn't deal with Li Zhiying, could he not deal with a small fry like Zhuo Wei?

The actions of Warner under Zhou Jianhui's leadership were still very fast, especially at a time when Zhou Yi's English single was bringing continuous good news to the Japanese music scene.

Zhou Yi's popularity could only be ridden by those approved by Zhou Yi!

October 7th, the last day of the National Day holiday.

When both Warner and Sun Yanzi herself officially announced that the release date of the new album "Kite" was set for the 22nd of this month, many female singers of the same schedule furrowed their brows—

The reason was none other than the fact that Sun Yanzi had personally admitted in an interview one thing: in the album "Kite", there was a love song duet between her and Zhou Yi!

"Didn't a reporter friend previously photograph me and Zhou Yi as if we were on a date? That was actually filming the MV for this song.

"This is also the first time I and Zhou Yi have tried this type of duet song; the feeling is actually quite good."

When returning to Taipei to start the radio promotion for the first lead single "Your Smile", Sun Yanzi's upturned corners of the mouth were harder to suppress than an AK when mentioning this matter.

Sony Music, the team of international diva Li Wen who had officially announced her return to the Chinese music scene last year, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Why is Zhou Jianhui so vindictive? It was just one time we stirred up the waters."

Li Wen's team knew about Sony Music's previous attempt to stir up the waters during the Cai Yilin incident to drag down Warner's Zhou Yi and create advantageous space for Wang Lihong's album release.

After this, Warner directly launched a series of counterattacks, suppressing Sony: first Wang Lihong was suppressed by Zhou Yi, and now another ace, Sun Yanzi, is coming to fight Li Wen...

"Forget it, it's a matter between companies; it doesn't matter, don't let it affect us."

Facing Sony, Li Wen, who had autonomy, was also very troubled, but she still spoke to comfort: "I might not lose to the combination of Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi; after all, there is still Zhou Jielun; his songs are currently fighting Zhou Yi to the skies on the charts."

A whimsical "Opera Warrior" let Li Wen witness the immense talent of Zhou Jielun, whom Li Zongsheng praised as one of the "Young Double Zhou" of the Chinese pop music scene.

Plus, her own diva prestige still remained; it was not yet known who would win.

In fact, when Sony Music, under Li Wen's insistence, still officially announced the original release date of her album, the Zhou Jielun appearing in Li Wen's album was quite eye-catching.

As the only young male singer so far this year who could fight from Taiwan to the mainland and then to Hong Kong alongside Zhou Yi, the combination of Zhou Jielun and diva Li Wen was undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this album—

And on the other side, the Warner Twin Stars of Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi also threw out a trump card: Male Zhou, Female Sun, love song duet.

Warner, determined to let Sun Yanzi officially ascend to the diva position with this album, went all out on promotion; many fans of the Twin Stars were overjoyed.

Warner finally acted like a human! They held Zhou Yi down so he wouldn't throw a tantrum!

Last year, only Angela Zhang's fans stood tall when talking about duets, after all, Zhou Yi had sung two trump-card-level songs with her right after his debut.

Now, we Twin Stars have one too!
