Chapter 559: The Unimagined Path: Wan Ren Mi Intends a Comeback?!

"The Unimagined Path: Wan Ren Mi Intends a Comeback?!"

"Best Friends Forever! Sun Yanzi Compares Bai Bai to a Pig Raised to Be Fat and White!"

"The Best Friend Lives Next Door, The Beloved Man Lives Upstairs"

"Zhou Yi's Blessing of Having Two Wives?"

"Cheng Hao's Mysterious Background! Suspected Daughter of a Big Shot?!"

"..."

August 31, the scene of Cheng Hao's surprise appearance at Sun Yanzi's new song concert, showcasing their deep sisterly bond, directly became the front-page headline of major entertainment newspapers—

This woman, who had already stirred up a Wan Ren Mi whirlwind this year, was repeatedly mentioned by netizens due to the "mystery" of her own retirement from the industry; her only two public appearances so far were the concerts of Zhou Yi and Sun Yanzi, and she did not even participate in the collective promotion by the cast of "The Pink Ladies" after it became a huge hit.

People's knowledge of her, besides the Wan Ren Mi full of charm in the TV series, consisted only of these people's oral accounts.

Leaving aside the well-known information that she was beautiful, had a good figure, a good personality, and was a top graduate from the Central Academy of Drama, the media even dug up Cheng Hao's experience as a host for various occasions in Qingdao during her middle and high school years, and exposed that she was already a rich woman earning 100,000 yuan for a single commercial advertisement as early as the end of the last century.

Thus, by September 1, Cheng Hao's originally normal family background had directly become mysterious.

Titles such as "Daughter of a Big Shot," "Red Background," and "Third Generation" were one after another thrust upon her head.

Even Zhou Yi's past sudden experience of flying back from Hong Kong straight to the Imperial Capital and heading directly to the hospital was brought up again, spun into a story that Cheng Hao's big-shot father was critically ill, which is why Zhou Yi was so nervous and flew back immediately.

Furthermore, the Hong Kong media "Sun Newspaper" exclusively revealed that actually that night Zhou Yi was preparing to discuss and study techniques with Cai Zuoyan, but as soon as he received the phone call, he immediately left her behind and returned to the mainland, leaving her alone on the roadside, disheveled by the wind.

"The facts are quite clear; Zhou Yi is just a gigolo, just lucky enough to have latched onto a red thigh, which also corroborates what many people say about him and Cheng Hao getting along very well during their university days!"

"The reason Zhou Yi can be so arrogant and domineering is because someone is protecting him behind the scenes; he is the biggest tumor in the mainland entertainment industry..."

On the Tianya Forum, the famous Zhou Yi hater "Free Beaver 12," who had been silent for a long time, reappeared, riding this wave of heat with a long, flowing piece of text, full of genuine emotion, arguing for the authenticity of Zhou Yi eating soft rice.

Zhou Yi is not money; he cannot make everyone like him.

And as the most famous account in the anti-Zhou Yi group, the Free Beaver series, since its birth, has focused exclusively on the path of hating Zhou Yi for a hundred years without wavering; now it has even gained a bit of the style of a public intellectual, with a single post directly triggering the recognition of many Zhou Yi haters—

"The Beaver is right; Zhou Yi is just a phoenix man who eats soft rice; he has a little real skill, but absolutely not much."

"I went and checked; Cheng Hao's current information is really hard to find; we only know she serves as the general manager of some Guiyi Investment, and the boss is still Zhou Yi; nothing else can be found online at all."

"Doesn't this prove even more that Cheng Hao's background reaches the heavens?"

"Damn it, Zhou Yi, you dog!"

"..."

Because of Cheng Hao's current mystery, borrowing the super high heat of the Warner Twins, speculation about her background was for a time rampant on the mainland internet, with various "conspiracy theories" emerging one after another.

Cheng Hao herself, who didn't even know how she suddenly ascended to become the descendant of a general's family, found it somewhat laughable and tearful.

She now also further understood why Zhou Yi believed that the future public opinion field would definitely be dominated by the emerging internet—

Only one day after coming down from Sun Yanzi's new song concert, the relevant discussions online had already become boiling and noisy due to the added heat, a speed absolutely beyond the reach of traditional print media.

While online opinions were updating eight hundred versions in a hot and lively manner, offline print media had just finished typesetting and hadn't even started printing; the timeliness required for news was greatly discounted; if you don't die, who will?

Of course, the greatest "harm" this matter caused Cheng Hao was probably Zhou Yi's cheap greeting—

"Yo, isn't this the famous daughter of a general's family, the third generation of the big courtyard, the Wan Ren Mi whose family holds extremely high influence within the system?"

Zhou Yi, who called immediately to mock, did not hide his meaning of schadenfreude; even without seeing him, Cheng Hao could still imagine the man's face, which must surely be full of mocking expressions.

"Are you sure you want to play it this way? Right now, people online are saying you are eating my soft rice." Cheng Hao, instead of getting angry, laughed and also mentioned the point being criticized against Zhou Yi.

"Keep finding reasons to ban that dog Beaver, let him eat full and have nothing to do all day, just bored enough to write things to hate on me." Zhou Yi was very disdainful of this.

A mere little hater, showing his chicken feet, is still at his mercy to be rubbed and kneaded.

If you have the ability, apply for the Beaver number to be 1000, 10000; by the time Tianya and Maopu have no one left, that dog Beaver might still be around.

"This account has almost become a god in your hater group, defying authority and fighting against you."

"Doesn't matter."

What waves can a mere black fan Beaver make? He never puts it in his eyes.

"I won't talk to you for now; my premiere is about to start."

September 1, 2003, the Warner Pictures film "Turning Left, Turning Right," the stepping stone for entering the Chinese market, held its premiere. This art film, starring Takeshi Kaneshiro and Fan Xiaopang, had long been known by people because the theme song "Meet" was sung by Sun Yanzi all over the country.

An art film with a total investment of 24 million Hong Kong dollars; this cost fully demonstrated Warner Pictures' sincerity and financial power.

However, originally this premiere was just so-so, but no one expected Zhou Yi to actually attend; this immediately made the premiere shine with stars.

Leaving aside the fact that stars like Lu Yi, Zhou Xun, and Ren Quan, who were familiar with Zhou Yi in the past, all appeared at the red carpet segment, even Hua Yi, after confirming the news, specially sent Teyi Sect's Wang Zhonglei to bring the company's Li Yijie over to show support.

Who they were really coming to see, Warner Pictures knew clearly in their hearts; this was Zhou Yi's significance.

Zhou Zhichong, Director of Warner Pictures Affairs and Administration, and Yin Gang, Director of Warner Pictures China Region Development Department, even personally appeared at the scene to express their importance and gratitude to Zhou Yi.

It is worth noting that they had indeed previously considered inviting Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi never agreed, until Fan Bingbin stepped forward.

Fan Xiaopang, who had pulled in the heavyweight guest Zhou Yi to walk the red carpet, was radiant all over; her neck was straight and stiff, holding Zhou Yi's hand as she walked on the red carpet, killing who knows how much film; one might think she had strapped a posture corrector behind that strapless evening gown today.

Especially the subtle envious looks from many peers made her feel incredibly proud in her heart.

Following Zhou Yi, she could easily access those behind-the-scenes capital captains who were out of reach for most stars in the industry, and those people similarly never showed any disdain on their faces towards her, but instead maintained an equal respect.

This is the confidence Zhou Yi brought her!

"Zhou Yi, hello, I am Wang Zhonglei. This must be the Young Lady Fan that Shufen mentioned; indeed very beautiful, great acting, very much looking forward to our future cooperation."

At the premiere venue, when Wang Zhonglei brought Li Bingbin over to talk to Zhou Yi proactively, this Hua Yi boss smiled extra happily, not at all as wretched as the rumors in the small news reported.

At the moment Li Bingbin bent slightly and extended her hand using the angle, Zhou Yi could even clearly see that passable size—

"Zhou Yi, hello, I am Li Bingbin."

Among the future Four Dan and Two Bings, Li Bingbin, who like Fan Xiaopang is also known for her style of a desperate woman, is currently at the tail end of her peak, and also knows very well the survival path that female stars without backgrounds should take.

Zhou Yi didn't take it seriously; after exchanging contact information, he chatted and laughed with everyone who came over, but Fan Xiaopang smelled a scent of a seductive fox—

Something is wrong; this old woman has ulterior motives!

Being thirty years old and that age, still selling sex and flashing electricity; shameful!

"Zhou Yi, your influence is quite something."

Zhou Yi, having just finished his social engagements, hadn't even taken his seat when Zhou Xun, holding a glass of champagne, teased him about the endless stream of big shots who had been around him: "So many people want to eat you up; do you really want to be the Emperor?"

Seeing a senior arrive, Fan Xiaopang immediately put aside her inner criticism of Li Bingbin and greeted her.

Her relationship with Zhou Xun was quite good; back when they were filming the MV "Love Me or Him," she had received some guidance from Zhou Xun.

"If my influence wasn't high, would you have come over? You probably would have gone abroad to relax long ago."

They were all old brothers; Zhou Yi didn't hide anything.

Zhou Xun, whose sore spot had been hit, rolled her eyes at him; if not for the setting, she would have thrown the champagne in her hand right in his face.

Because of her breakup with Li Yapeng, her relationship where she knowingly played the third wheel had been mocked by the media.

The statement "Zhou Yi satisfied all my fantasies about a man," made by that Premier League goddess Zhou Yi had slept with, had been co-opted and changed to "Li Yapeng satisfied all my fantasies about a boyfriend."

But how long had it been? The couple's relationship had already reached its end.

"In fact, I did go abroad to relax; I went to Japan and just returned from there."

Rolling her eyes, thinking of the news she had heard and seen in Japan, Zhou Xun immediately flashed a mischievous smile and lowered her voice: "You don't know how high your influence is in Japan now; there's even a company of that type using your fame to name itself..."

"?"

Zhou Yi's smile, which had been on his face, instantly vanished, and Fan Xiaopang, listening nearby, widened her eyes in utter shock—

In August 2003, because the fan meeting Zhou Yi held on Fuji TV in Japan had been so successful, and after his title "Rock Saint" spread across all of Japan, the famous scene of him splashing water on himself and getting wet after saying "Tokyo is indeed a bit hot today" also spread widely—

An adult film manufacturer headquartered in California, USA, immediately named its company after that phrase: TokyoHot.

Believe it or not, it was quite effective.

Since its founding, it had been crazily riding on Zhou Yi's words; its first promotional video even copied Zhou Yi's famous scene of splashing water on his head and getting wet from top to bottom, and TokyoHot became an instant hit...

As she spoke, Zhou Xun herself couldn't hold it back and covered her mouth, laughing wildly.

"Damn! I'd rather not have that kind of influence, okay!"
