Originally, the two songs [Notepad] [Downlight] were only popular in developed regions such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and have not yet spread to inland cities. After all, the Internet was just starting at this time, and most of the songs were spreading rely on pirated tapes, cd.

The name Zhou Xing is still unfamiliar to most mainland people.

However, through the live broadcast of CCTV's three "Same Song" concert, Zhou Xing became an existence that could compete with Andy Lau and the God of Songs almost overnight.

Of course, there are too many accidental factors here, such as his identity as a "Hong Kong star", the organizer arranged him to appear on stage after Andy Lau, and the concert was all popular stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which invisibly raised Zhou Xing's status.

However, this does not mean that Zhou Xing will reach the top in one step. After all, the audience's memories are short-lived. If Zhou Xing cannot produce a new work that is convincing for a period of time, it will still be forgotten by the audience. This is the eternal law of the entertainment industry.

But no matter what, this time, "the same song" did give Zhou Xing a huge gain. Just looking at the rising fan value was enough to make him drool.

.........

There is a private house in Beijing, and a family of three is watching TV.

"Oh, wait, mom, transfer back." A girl wiping her hair on the sofa suddenly screamed.

The girl's mother glared at her dissatisfiedly: "This child was shocked." She said this, but she still transferred back to the previous CCTV third station.

The girl stared at the TV, but the scene turned to the audience, and the girl jumped in an anxious manner.

The girl's mother was amused: "What? How old are you, are you still chasing stars?"

"No, on TV, this seems to be my classmate." The girl still didn't move her eyes away and replied casually.

"Your classmate? Which one? Isn't it right? Aren't you going to the film school? Why are there still classmates running to sing?" The girl's mother was stunned for a moment.

"That's...that tall man, who had come to our house for dinner before."

"Have you been to our house?" The girl's mother was still thinking hard.

Suddenly, the girl screamed: "Damn it, it's him."

"Every girl's family is not allowed to swear." The girl's mother taught her a lesson because she was angry.

"Oh, what are you doing? The hair is not dry yet."

At this time, the girl had already slipped away, and the girl's mother couldn't help staring at the TV and wondered: "Classmate? Isn't this a Hong Kong star?"

The girl returned to the room and picked up the phone: "Hey, Jiajia, have you watched TV? Yes, the same song, guess who did I see?"

"Bah, your ex-boyfriend is Zhou Xing. You didn't see it. He is now a celebrity style. At first I thought I had read it wrong."

Otherwise, women are the best channel for spreading gossip. Through the promotion of girls, almost all classmates watched the replay of "Same Song".

At first, they were all like girls, thinking they had read it wrong. After all, Zhou Xing's temperament and body shape have changed greatly compared to before. However, his face has not changed. There are more than a dozen students in the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy. They have been classmates for four years together. How could they not recognize them?

"No, how long has it been? He is on the front line? Is he qualified to perform on the same stage with Andy Lau and the others?"

"Uh... it's not that dazzled, right? When will Zhou Xing sing?"

In fact, the students were already surprised when [Black and Storm] was released in the mainland before. Who would have thought that after a year, Zhou Xing appeared in front of them again and was on such a high-standard stage? Moreover, it seems that his status is not lower than those first-line celebrities at all?

.........

On the other hand, Anli originally planned to go back with Zhou Xing after participating in the "Same Song", but unexpectedly, she received several invitations in succession, which made her realize that Zhou Xing's market in the mainland had opened, and the mainland was not as poor as she thought, and the appearance fee she gave was not lower than that of Xiangjiang at all.

"It seems that we will pay more attention to the mainland market in the future." Anli murmured to herself. Before, she was completely in a state of letting go of Zhou Xing's publicity in the mainland, because in her impression, the mainland could not make much money, and even if there was attention, it would be useless. However, today, the mainland is rich and has an unimaginable population. This is definitely a huge cake. If you don't start as soon as possible, it will be too late to wait until your colleagues react in the future.

"Oh, I'll recruit some assistants for you in the mainland, right? I'll help you arrange affairs in the mainland." Anli is definitely a practical person, and immediately discussed with Zhou Xing after thinking about it.

"Okay, why not just set up a studio? Don't be afraid of spending money in the early stage. Even if you lose a little, it's okay. I'll make up for it." Zhou Xing naturally had no reason to refuse. He would have to come back sooner or later, so it would be okay to make up for it in advance.

Anli thought it was true. In fact, it is very common for celebrities to set up studios in Xiangjiang. Superstars like Stephen Chow all directly set up companies.

She didn't know that it was the first time that a mainland star set up a studio. Even a leading company like Huayi still had a slogan model of packaging and publicity for artists.

However, recruiting people is not that easy. First of all, the people of Xiangjiang are completely disgusted with the current development of the mainland. They think that the mainland is still like it was more than ten years ago. Some people even turned around and left when they heard that they were going to work in the mainland: "I'm crazy. I won't go no matter how much money the mainland gives. I don't even have electricity. I'll feed mosquitoes."

Although it is an individual phenomenon, it is enough to explain the problem.

Another thing is that it is hard to leave your hometown. Most people in Xiangjiang are inherently conservative in their minds. They work, but they don’t have enough food to eat in Xiangjiang. Why travel thousands of miles to the mainland?

"Why would you recruit people directly from the mainland? Take them to Xiangjiang for a while and teach the rest slowly." Zhou Xing suggested.

Anli nodded a little depressedly. Although the salary in the mainland is cheap, there are no ready-made talents and can only recruit new people to train them. From now on, she will be busy.

The process of recruiting people in the mainland is quite relaxed. When I heard that there was still a chance to go to Xiangjiang to participate in training, those who signed up were almost trampled on the threshold. After all, it was only 2001. For many ordinary mainland people, Xiangjiang only appeared in movies and TV series.

It took more than a month to register, apply for documents, and recruit staff. The office address was directly set up in one of the commercial and residential dual-purpose apartments purchased by Zhou Xing. There were several tables, water, electricity, and telephone lines... It was a rare computer equipped. After all, it was already very common to use computers in Xiangjiang.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to Xiangjiang, Brother Feng is back."
