From the millennium to the year 2002, two years passed quickly. A lot of things happened in these two years. Under the troubles of the two reborn people, Zhang Jin and Xia Luo, the world took a different path than before.

Completely different timeline.

Relying on the classic songs accumulated in later generations, Charlotte is heading towards the path of the God of Songs and Godfather in this new timeline. In the past two years, he has released two albums, namely "Ten Miles of Fragrance" and "Ten Miles of Fragrance".

Charlotte in January".

The two albums sold out immediately upon release, breaking the records for the fastest platinum album and diamond album respectively.

Among them, "East Wind Blows", "Ten Miles of Fragrance", "All the Way North", "Sunny Day", "Mudanjiang", "Hair Like Snow", "Nocturne", "Coral Sea" and other songs almost occupied the top ten of the annual golden song list.

position.

Not only his own album songs, but also the songs he wrote for other kings and queens in the entertainment industry have become hits!

For example, "Meet", "Green Light", "One Thousand and One Wishes", "Happy Breakup", "He Must Love You Very Much", "A Lifetime of Loneliness", "Rescue" and other songs are almost all arranged.

Half of the popular entertainment industry!

What made Charlotte's popularity even higher is that he also composed the theme songs for two well-known TV series that became popular, namely "Meteor Shower" from "Meteor Garden" and "I Want It So Good" from "Love in the Rain".

think".

As well as "Secret Fragrance" from "The Golden Family" and "Too Many" from "Oolong Love".

Compared with Charlotte, who is crazy about releasing songs and albums, Qiu Ya's pace is very slow. She has only released one album in two years. After her first album "First Love", her new album is called "Love Letter".

The second album inherits the emotional context of the first album, and the piano music included is also very beautiful and touching. It is divided into four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each unit has its own unique style of music.

The main songs include "the promise", "river flows in you", "kiss the rain", and "My inner activities when I fall in love with you".

Piano music albums are naturally not that popular, and neither Qiu Ya nor Zhang Jin care about how many they can sell. Although they are not well-known in the mass market, they have a good response in the circle.

Not only Zhang Jin's piano music has been unanimously praised, but Qiu Ya's performance has also received many praises!

Because he wrote the lead piano music for two albums for Qiu Ya, Zhang Jin also received many invitations to compose background music for movies, TV series and other projects, but he declined all of them.

He knew what he was capable of. Before he established a professional orchestra studio, he had no intention of wasting his limited artistic resources on other aspects. It was already very difficult to make Qiu Ya famous.

After Qiu Ya becomes famous, there will be a lot of music for her to play, and then Zhang Jin can be liberated from creation.

Two years have passed, and both Zhang Jin and Qiu Ya have graduated from college.

Qiu Ya received an invitation from the Royal Academy of Music in London and chose to continue her studies in the UK.

Zhang Jin did not accompany her to the UK, but chose to stay and continue to promote his Xihong City legendary plan.

Although the two were about to be separated by thousands of miles, they held an engagement ceremony before leaving and exchanged engagement rings.

The engagement ceremony took place in the villa of Banshan Manor. Not many people attended, including a few old classmates, some relatives and friends, and parents at home.

There was nothing messy at the engagement ceremony, everything went smoothly.

Zhang Jin's father was naturally pleased that his son could marry such a beautiful and generous wife. He always lamented that his mother was also an art soldier in the army, so she could cultivate such a musical son.

Qiu Ya's mother had known about the two of them for a long time. She even heard Zhang Jin's declaration in 1998 that he would pursue his daughter after the college entrance examination. Of course, she was a little disapproval at first, but then she gradually stopped disapproving of it.

I was opposed to it, but now that I have seen my daughter’s growth and happiness, I have become in favor of their marriage.

Qiu Ya's father adheres to the traditional habit of father-in-law becoming more and more displeased with his son-in-law, but he doesn't have much say in this matter.

Firstly, my daughter did not study in college, secondly, my wife supported my daughter and son-in-law, and thirdly, I had been in business for ten years and the family fortune I had built up was not as good as the money my son-in-law earned during college, and my own company still has to benefit from the son-in-law.

Guang, a partnership for real estate development.

Under the pressure of family and career, my father-in-law could only touch his bare head and sigh silently.

During the engagement ceremony, Charlotte and Ma Dongmei did not come to the scene because of their respective careers, but only sent their blessings by phone.

Well, Ma Dongmei is a blessing, and Charlotte is an angry warning!

"Zhang Jin, you are so shameless! You actually chose me to hold the engagement ceremony during the recording of the CCTV program! If I hadn't been unable to reject this program, I would have flown back to Xihong City right now and rushed in front of you to snatch Qiu Ya away.

Let’s go! Don’t be too proud, you are just engaged, I still have a chance..."

In the end, if the recording hadn't started, Zhang Jin estimated that Charlotte could have been beeping on the phone for another half an hour.

Zhang Jin didn't take Xia Luo's harsh words to heart at all. He hung up the phone and put down his phone. His eyes turned to Qiu Ya who was playing piano music for everyone in the room. A group of people were talking and laughing around her.

Next to him, Dachun was bouncing a football with his head, amusing several children; his father and mother-in-law chatted about the past of the military art troupe, and his father-in-law and District Chief Yuan had a good time drinking and discussing the economic development plan of Xihong City.

The serious Yuan Hua was telling a story to several girls from the music department of Xihong City Art College, and the content of the story was none other than "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that he accidentally saw in Zhang Jin's notebook.

Yuan Hua originally planned to borrow his notebook to watch art films from the island nation, but he accidentally clicked on the document on his desktop out of curiosity. After a few glances, he was deeply attracted by this strange and bizarre tomb robbing story with a hint of reality.

.

Originally, Zhang Jin only wrote it for himself to read. With the Memory Palace around, he just read the novel again. After all, in this era, storytellers, close friends, readers, and Yilin were really difficult for him to discern.

Not only did these magazine articles lack imagination, but the stories they concocted were not as good as the ones published later on!

Zhang Jin kept writing on Ghost Blow Out the Lamp, occasionally updating it weekly or monthly, which allowed Yuan Hua to experience the pain of chasing serialized novels in advance. In the end, he had to use it as a bargaining chip to help him match up with his father, which forced him to

I finished writing the first four parts in one breath, which led to the in-depth cooperation between District Chief Yuan and Zhang Jin’s company.

It is worth mentioning that after the past two years of development, several companies originally opened by Zhang Jin have all been brought under the same group. The group has a very nice name, called - This is Jiada Group Co., Ltd.

Its wholly-owned subsidiaries include: Xihong City Daxiang Football Club, this is Da Entertainment Culture Co., Ltd., this is Jiahao Games Co., Ltd., this is Jiaqiang Investment Co., Ltd., and this is Xingfu Real Estate Co., Ltd.

I won’t go into detail about Xihong City Daxiang Football Club. The Daxiang team has made one step at a time in the past two years. From the C League in 2000, it was successfully promoted to the B League. In 2001, it played in the B League and successfully promoted to the A League.

B League, the Daxiang team also achieved good results in the A and B League in the first half of 2002, mainly due to Zhang Jin's large investment.

This investment exceeded 50 million yuan, and it recruited almost the best players in the country who were willing to play in League B. It also brought two Brazilian foreign players from abroad. The trident of foreign aid in the frontcourt was making waves in League B, as if no one else

territory!

The amount of money Zhang Jin invested was only one-third. When the team reaches the A-level, he still has 100 million in funds waiting to be invested.

It was nothing to take out so much money at once. During the 2002 World Cup, he used the same method to make another huge profit in the world's gambling industry.

This is also thanks to the host South Korea team, which defeated Italy 2:1 in the quarter-finals and defeated Spain on penalty kicks in the quarter-finals. Zhang Jin successfully crossed the set twice and made a lot of money!

The gambling revenue from these two games alone was as high as 100 million US dollars. It can be said that almost everyone lost money, but he and the banker made the most!

No one around the world could have imagined that after defeating the Portuguese team in the group stage, the South Korean team's East Asian referees became even crazier in the knockout rounds.

In the match against the Italian team, the East Asian referee's foul standards against the Korean team were so loose that they could have a free fight. The Korean team player directly kicked the Italian player in the head with a Taekwondo-style flying kick, causing the latter to spatter blood on the spot!

And when Wolf King Totti was pushed and tripped by a South Korean player in the penalty area, the referee gave Totti a red card without awarding a penalty, indicating that he was diving!

After defeating Italy, the proud South Korean team continued to disallow two goals from Spain and an own goal in the quarter-finals with the help of the referee, and stopped overtime early and relied on penalty kicks.

Let the matadors shed tears in the arena!

What's even more disgusting is that after the game, the Korean team said that they had been practicing penalty kicks before the game, so they could win the penalty shootout. The Spanish team was inferior and should admit defeat.

It is a pity that the referee was temporarily replaced when the South Korean team played against the German team in the semi-finals. Otherwise, it might have made history and become the first Asian team to reach the World Cup finals.

As for why the referee was temporarily replaced, it is also due to the fact that the famous German player Beckenbauer is an official of FIFA. Naturally, he cannot just watch the AFC's little brother engage in shady activities and bring trouble to his own national team.

The most disgusting thing is that in the award list after the game, the South Korean team actually won the award for the most entertaining team in this World Cup. It is so shameless that I cannot accept it!

In addition to making an extra US$200 million from the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Zhang Jin's This Is Good Game Co., Ltd. launched "Legend of Hot Blood" in 2001, and it became popular all over the country in just three months.

.

Half a year later, almost all Internet cafes, big and small, and black Internet cafes are filled with such a group of people, unkempt, holding cigarettes in their mouths, with sleepy eyes surrounded by dark circles, mechanically controlling the mouse and keyboard, and "swish" and "swish" coming from the headphones. "Zi Zi" sound of the skill, the table in front of me was piled with cigarette ashes, buckets of instant noodles, and there was even a stiff sock hanging on the computer case.

This group of people are like wandering ghosts and are not easily disturbed by mundane things. Only when their companions fight monsters and reveal some treasures, or are being hunted or hunted down by others, will there be an ups and downs. Excited shouts rang out!

"Fuck him! Fuck him! Fuck him!"

"It exploded! It exploded! It exploded!"

"Jing Zhongyue! I got it! Protect me and leave!"

"Losing the red! Losing the red! Don't block my position!"

The popularity of "Legend of Hot Blood" also promoted the rapid growth of Internet cafes, and also gave birth to the first batch of professional players and Internet addicts!

Of course, what attracts the most attention from society and the industry is the massive revenue generated by the game "Legend of Blood"!

Legendary point cards are sold at newsstands all over the country. The speed of sales and popularity are, in the words of a newspaper man, "more popular than Liu Bei! Nowadays, people ignore you Liu Bei. Everyone, go fight monsters!"

From the second half of 2001 to the first half of 2002, the company with the fastest revenue growth was none other than This Is Good Game Co., Ltd. In just about half a year, its revenue exceeded 1 billion!

Starting from the very first "Legend of Three Heroes" version, and later with the subsequent updates of "The Rich World" and "Legend of the Tiger Guard" versions, the number of online players continued to rise at the same time, reaching as many as four to five million.

At the same time, there are no online games on the market that can compete with it. Whether it is "Stone Age" and "Jin Yong Heroes OL" that have been destroyed by cheaters, or "Magic Baby" and "Big Talk" that intend to take over the turn-based game market "Journey to the West" cannot shake the dominance of "Legend".

This situation will continue until "Miracle Mu" and "Fantasy Westward Journey" are released online, which will break this world-dominating trend.

In particular, "Fantasy Westward Journey" is played by both boys and girls. It promotes the social attributes of online games and strengthens love. It has been imitated by many subsequent games. From the beginning of attracting male players, it has become a game that first attracts female players and then attracts male players.

The craziness of the game industry is not Zhang Jin’s focus. To him, it is a cornucopia of money that is constantly being made.

His focus was mainly on film and television, especially when Mr. Lai won the film and television copyright of Fairy Sword and hired the entire production team of Fairy Sword, which further strengthened his path to develop the film and television game IP.

It just so happened that Tangren Film and Television was also interested in adapting this game into a film and TV show, and sent someone to contact Zhang Jin to inquire about the cost of purchasing the copyright or the possibility of cooperation.

Zhang Jin is very welcoming to Tangren Film and Television. After all, as the original production company, it will not be any worse. But he does not want to just leave the copyright to the other party for production, but chooses to cooperate. He wants to change There were some very unsatisfactory aspects in the original film, and at the same time, it gave my film and television company the experience of learning to shoot this type of drama, and laid the foundation for independently filming the same type of film and television drama in the future.

The contact with Tangren Film and Television was relatively smooth. Although Zhang Jin asked for cooperation in filming, they not only provided the copyright of Fairy Sword, but also added a considerable investment, so Tangren Film and Television finally agreed to his request to be the producer.
Chapter completed!
