On the way to the cafeteria, Maria Carey heard the sound of machinery work coming from Warehouse No. 7. She asked curiously, "Is there any project doing?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "Warehouse No. 7 will be converted into a comprehensive music building, including a concert hall, recording studio and practice room. It has been a while since the construction started."
Maria Carey said unexpectedly, "You want to build a concert hall yourself?"
"What's the problem?"
"No problem, it's just a bit incredible. Will your concert hall be opened to the public after the renovation is completed? I mean, like other concert halls, do commercial performances for other orchestras?"
"It's possible, but after the renovation of this concert hall is completed, it may only be enough for us to use it ourselves."
"You guys use it yourself? Are you talking about the Piano Youth Orchestra? Will there be so many performances?"
"Of course it's not just the Piano Youth Orchestra, our studio has signed many musicians, and they also have performances."
"Oh, so that's it."
Maria Kelly knows very little about the studio. She still doesn't even know that Wang Lihong is a singer signed by Zhou Yan.
The renovation of Warehouse No. 7 will take one or two years. When the renovation is completed, there will definitely be more singers signed by Zhou's Entertainment and the studio, and the demand for performances is also high. The concert hall can be reserved for its own family.
"When the concert hall is renovated, let me experience the effect of your hall, too." Maria Carey said again.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Our concert hall is too small for you. If you want to hold concerts in China, you can choose those gyms."
With Maria Carey's popularity, it is a waste to hold a concert in the concert hall. There are tens of thousands of people in the gymnasium, so there is definitely no need to worry about selling tickets.
"But when you come here, you will definitely discount the venue fee, right?"
"If you want to come, I will give you the venue for free."
Maria Carey laughed, "Then let's say that I'll hold a concert when the concert hall is renovated."
"No problem."
...
Shortly after the two arrived at the canteen, Faye Wong and Anita Mui also arrived.
It was not surprising to see Maria Kelly, Faye Wong and the others, because Zhou Yan had a lot of cooperation with Maria Kelly, so it was reasonable that she could come here.
Maria Kelly has some impression of Faye Wong because she has also seen the cover of Time magazine before.
Generally speaking, Maria Carey would not remember a stranger on the cover of Time magazine, but Faye Wong is Chinese and a singer at the same time, so Maria Carey paid more attention.
When she saw Faye Wong, Maria Kelly also thought about whether Faye Wong and Zhou Yan also knew each other. Now it seems that her guess was still correct.
Not long after Faye Wong and Anita Mui sat down, Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Guorong also arrived.
This time, Anita Mui has already started to introduce her.
Zhou Yan has many celebrity friends in this concert, but now there are still a few days before the concert begins, and only Anita Mui and the others are here first.
These friends in Xiangjiang are very active this time, which is actually related to the return of Xiangjiang.
At critical moments, it is very important to find the right direction.
All tables are from the music circle. Apart from Zhou Yan, everyone is all singers, and everyone has many common topics.
Maria Carey doesn’t know much about Chinese singers, but Anita Mui and others know Maria Carey very well, and her songs are also very popular in Hong Kong.
"Maria, your new album is going to be released?" Anita Mui asked.
"It's until September," Maria replied.
In fact, Maria Carey and the others have also considered adjusting the release time of the album. Even if the entire album is not released in advance, the release time of the single must be advanced.
The best thing is to make "bleedinglove" the first main single, so that you can get the popularity of "abouttime".
But after thinking for a long time, they gave up this idea and continued to follow the original planned release time.
In fact, if they release a new album in September, they may not be able to get away from the popularity of "abouttime". Hasn't "abouttime" not released in North America yet?
If "abouttime" is finally released around September, the promotion of the movie being released in North America will be even more popular than it is now.
"There is another Y-composed song in the new album?" Faye Wong asked with a smile.
This matter is very popular in the United States, and the media in China have long reported it.
"Of course, "bleedinglove" is the title song of the new album." Maria Carey smiled and asked Zhou Yan again, "When will "abouttime" be released in North America? Unfortunately, the movie has been painted in China, otherwise I will be able to see it in the cinema this time."
"The release date is not yet decided. Tang Chen is talking to people. Even if it is not released in China, you can't understand it without English subtitles."
"I don't need to understand it, just listen to the song."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "If you just want to listen to music, you can go to the audio and video stores on the roadside to look for it. You should be able to find some pirated CDs or video tapes."
When everyone at the table laughed when they heard Zhou Yan say this.
Who would recommend that others buy pirated discs?
Although everyone knows that piracy in the mainland is rampant and cannot be controlled, everyone tacitly understands this kind of thing, and will neither boycott it wildly nor support it publicly.
In fact, as singers, they certainly hope that everyone can support the authentic version, so that they can earn more money.
But the reality is difficult to change, and everyone is used to it.
When Maria Kelly heard Zhou Yan say this at first, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that pirated copies have reached this point in China, and even the creators suggest buying pirated copies?
However, when she heard the laughter of Faye Wong and the others, she realized that Zhou Yan should be joking with her.
"I'd better wait until the movie is released in the United States. Then I'll bring more people to support your box office."
"Then thank you first."
"No need to thank you, you promised to use the concert hall for free."
Hearing her say this, Anita Mui said curiously, "What concert hall?"
Zhou Yan explained with a smile, "The No. 7 warehouse in the park is to be transformed into a multi-functional concert hall. Maria just said she wanted to come here to hold a concert, and I said she would use it for free."
"No wonder I heard that I was doing a renovation just now. When will this renovation be completed?"
"The planned construction period is until the end of next year and will be put into use at the latest and early next year."
"When you open the business, we will also take a look." Zhang Xueyou said.
Anita Mui smiled and said, "Don't come and have an indoor concert at that time."
Then she turned to Zhou Yan and said, "You have to treat everyone equally and don't charge us money."
Zhou Yan said generously, "No problem, just come and hold a concert. I won't charge you any cents for the venue fee."
Zhang Xueyou gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up, "Royalty."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Although I don't charge the venue fee, I can charge the tickets."
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the others rolled their eyes together. "Wow, I thought you were generous and didn't charge us for the venue fee. I turned out to let us do a job for you." Faye Wong rolled her eyes the most.
Zhou Yan laughed, "I'm kidding with you. When the concert hall is renovated, you can just come and open it. You don't charge your venue fee - the ticket money will be left to you."
"Really."
"Really."
Zhou Yan was not joking with them. If a few people here really wanted to come here to hold an indoor concert, he would definitely not have charged the venue fee.
How much does this kind of concert hall cost even if it is charged? This little money can really be used as a favor, so Zhou Yan is certainly willing.
Moreover, these people on the table are all singers of the King of Heaven and Queen level. They can come here to hold concerts and help the concert hall accumulate popularity. These popularity itself is more valuable than the venue fee.
In addition to holding concerts, there are other businesses in the multi-functional concert hall. At that time, you can sign some business on these singers and you can earn money back.
Of course, Zhang Xueyou and the others didn't care about the venue fee. It was just that people carried people in flower sedan chairs. When the concert hall was renovated, they would support the show in another way.
In addition, there are not many places in Yanjing that can hold indoor concerts. Zhou Yan’s renovation is also a very good choice, at least it is much better than Yanjing’s large theater and concert hall.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
After dinner, the guests did not stay much and left early.
Maria Carey and Anita Mui and the others also made an appointment to go out to play these days. She came to China alone. She was unfamiliar with the place, and Zhou Yan didn't have time to accompany her. It just so happened that Anita Mui and the others were with her.
Zhou Yan introduced them tonight, and wanted Anita Mui and the others to take Maria Carey to visit Yanjing.
Celine Dion will come the day after tomorrow, but the couple will come together, so Zhou Yan doesn't have to worry about it.
Unlike Maria Carey, Celine Dion and his wife have been to Yanjing and are quite familiar with Yanjing. They will also find Yanjing's place to accompany them when they go out to play, so they don't need others to worry about it.
In addition to them, the backstreet boys will also come to China, but their time is relatively tight and they won’t arrive until May 1st.
There is another difference. Whether it is Maria Carey or Celine Dion, they came to Yanjing, but did not arrange any other jobs. Apart from watching Zhou Yan's concert, they just wanted to visit Yanjing.
Since Celine Dion and his wife have been to Yanjing before, they even plan to go for a walk in other cities this time.
But the backstreet boys are different. In addition to watching concerts, they also have many other activities, such as interviews on TV stations, album signing meetings, etc. They are basically working and have no time to play.
They are still younger and need to work hard, and it is not time to enjoy it yet.
...
On Wangfujing Street, Wu Huaiyou was wandering around with his girlfriend.
The weather is pretty good today, but they have been out for most of the day and his feet are almost numb.
Women are weak most of the time, but they always show extraordinary physical strength and endurance when shopping.
Seeing her girlfriend still not feeling angry after spending most of the day, Wu Huaiyou could only sigh at her strength.
"What are we eating tonight? Why did I get a little hungry shortly after lunch?" my girlfriend muttered.
Wu Huaiyou rolled his eyes and said that his girlfriend ordered lunch, but his girlfriend only took a small bite of each, and most of the rest were eaten by him. It is not surprising that he is hungry at all now.
"Why not eat roast duck? Shabu-shabu..."
Wu Huaiyou said halfway, and suddenly stopped, staring at the front with his eyes blankly.
Not far from them, two women wearing hats and sunglasses were walking towards this side with a smile.
Seeing her boyfriend staring at the two women in a daze, her girlfriend was a little unhappy, "What are you looking at?"
"Look..."
"You still see!"
At this time, Wu Huaiyou couldn't hear his girlfriend's voice at all. He took out the camera from his bag and took photos at the two women.
My girlfriend was so angry that she was so angry that she not only watched it, but also took photos?
I usually let him take pictures of myself and I will be hindered!
After the two women were photographed, it didn't matter and they waved to the camera with a smile.
Wu Huaiyou took photos so wildly that he used up all the film inside the camera.
He actually wanted to continue shooting, but the bullets were used up and there was no way to continue fighting.
At this time, he found that his girlfriend was staring at him angrily, her eyes as if they were on fire.
"Xiaoqin, you misunderstood. Those two women are not ordinary people."
"Well, I can see that they are all beauties."
"No, you didn't realize that the black hat was Anita Mui?"
"Anie Mui?" Xiaoqin widened her eyes, "What you said is true or false."
"Of course."
When Wu Huaiyou didn't say it, Xiaoqin didn't think that woman looked like Anita Mui, but after he said it, Xiaoqin felt that woman looked like her the more she thought about it.
Although the woman wore a hat and glasses, her mouth was exposed, which was indeed very similar to Anita Mui.
Anita Mui’s lips are very thick and their characteristics are very obvious.
"The woman next to her..."
"I don't know, I seem to be a foreigner, maybe Anita Mui's friend."
After saying that, Wu Huaiyou accelerated his pace and walked out of the street.
"What are you doing?"
"I have to go back to the club now."
Wu Huaiyou is a reporter. They are neither street stall tabloids nor serious news newspapers, but life newspapers in between.
From international events to street news, they will report them.
Of course, they will also report news like Anita Mui appeared in Yanjing.
Wu Huaiyou wanted to rush back, wash out the photos quickly, and write a manuscript as soon as possible. Maybe the performance this month will be available again.
...
Maria Carey and Anita Mui were hanging out, and they didn't deliberately avoid other people's gazes at all, so they were easily recognized.
During their time playing around, they were also photographed by many media reporters.
In addition to being photographed when they went out, many celebrities were photographed one after another within a few days.
So many of the news in the past two days have been photographed with big stars in the streets and alleys, and the most eye-catching one is naturally the appearance of Maria Carey and Celine Dion. (This chapter ends)
