The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 215 TV series airs, furious Liu Yifei

Many important events occurred throughout March 03.

The first is the turbulent Middle East.

With the emergence of Facebook, most of its users are European and American people.

Therefore, government officials in the Middle East also registered accounts on the platform and began to express their country's dissatisfaction with the United States' decision to promote war in an official capacity.

It was also from this moment that Facebook began to gain users in many countries around the world at a very fast pace.

They discovered that this platform could bypass the media and publish their opinions on the Internet as soon as possible.

In just one month, the number of registered Facebook users quickly exceeded 8000 million.

With celebrity endorsements, strong funding, a large technical team and server support, a global base of music lovers, and fueled by warring public opinion, all these factors combined have made Facebook, in a short period of time, become the social platform with the shortest establishment time in the world, but with the largest number of users.

On the 16th, large-scale demonstrations against the war on Iraq broke out again around the world, and the largest global vigil night prayer for peace was staged all over the world.

Thanks to the Facebook platform, these anti-war activists established social groups one after another in a short period of time and organized large-scale marches and demonstrations at the same time around the world.

However, all this had no effect.

Four days after the march, two countries launched an unauthorized "decapitation operation" to start a war.

During this month, Facebook, which played a key role, was investigated by the U.S. security department.

But all this was within Zhang Chen and William's expectations.

If you don't cooperate, it is estimated that this company will change hands in a short time.

From then on, William began to follow Zhang Chen's instructions and was forced to accept the manipulation of the United States and develop international public opinion in a direction that was beneficial to them.

As for the control of the company, although it is still in William's hands, at this critical juncture, trying to cause trouble is basically no different from seeking death.

As for Zhang Chen, he is now hiding safely at home, video chatting with Liu Yifei who is far away in Ying Country.

"Why don't you come to see me?"

Liu Yifei’s entire face was almost touching the camera.

Fortunately, she is pretty and can be willful. If someone else's face was magnified like this in the video, it would probably be too ugly to be looked at.

"Why would I go there? There's no role for me in the movie."

Zhang Chen was digging his ears with his fingers, his tone extremely provocative.

"This movie was invested in anyway, and you even hold the title of producer."

Liu Yifei was furious. She thought Zhang Chen would come to China to find her after attending the Grammy Awards, but after Zhang Chen was done with his work, he really did as he said at the beginning and ran back to China to take care of other things.

"Please, Uncle An and Aunt Liu are both at your place. If I go there, they'll have a reason to leave. Are you sure you want me to go?"

This is the most important thing.

The reason why they were tricked into going to Ying Country to accompany Liu Yifei was that they were "busy". If he showed up in Ying Country now, it is estimated that these two would quit immediately and leave.

Moreover, An Shaokang put a lot of thought into preparing to go abroad early this time.

If the destination and the place where they were staying were not Zhang Chen's territory, he might not have been able to get out.

"This seems to be the case."

Liu Yifei thought about it and it seemed to be true. What she hoped most now was that her parents could reconcile.
"Brother, do you think Mom and Dad can ever get back together?"

"do not know."

How could he know the answer to such a question? History has changed so much. Although under his influence, An's father and Liu's mother never remarried, the core contradiction between them still exists.

If this contradiction is not resolved, the possibility of the two people being compatible is basically zero.

"I feel bad when I see them both with cold faces every day."

When Liu Yifei said this, she also started to feel depressed.

The crew started filming for a month. Since she didn't have many shots, she stayed in the crew mainly with an attitude of learning.

This also left her with enough time to live with her parents.

But so much of what happened between them was completely different from what she expected.

Now, An Shaokang will accompany Liu Yifei in the morning and then disappear after having lunch together.

From the afternoon to the evening, Liu Xiaoli will stay with Liu Yifei until Liu Yifei returns to her room to rest.

If the current situation continues, the two may not be able to reconcile even if they are given three or thirty years, let alone the three-month filming period.

"Don't worry about your elders. If you don't understand something, don't get involved."

Zhang Chen didn't offer any advice either, which was no good.

The opportunity has been given, but success or failure depends on God's will.

It was mainly because Xiao Liu wanted to that he gave him this opportunity.

As for how long it can last, or whether the relationship between the two will ease in the future, it is not something he can interfere with.

"Well, thank you."

Liu Yifei thanked him quietly. She also knew that all the arrangements Zhang Chen made were for her own good.

She did regain the care and attention of her father and mother during this month. Although the word "at the same time" needs to be put in quotation marks, it is much better than before.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you."

As if by reflex, Zhang Chen pricked up his ears and leaned towards the camera, motioning for Liu Yifei to say it again.

What a wonder of the world! Classmate Liu actually said thank you to him.

"No, wait a minute, I'll get a tape recorder and record it."

Zhang Chen felt that this was not enough and he had to record this historic moment.

"Get out of here, you bastard!"

Before Zhang Chen could react, Liu Yifei on the other side hung up the video.

Zhang Chen held the recorder he had just taken out in his hand, staring at the black screen, wondering whether he should make another video call.

"I also want to talk about "The Story of a Noble Family"

Zhang Chen muttered to himself while facing the computer without Liu Yifei's video link.

March 3th was the day when "The Story of a Noble Family" was broadcast in China. With the dual blessing of fans of the original novel and the halo of celebrities, it gained a huge audience as soon as it was broadcast.

As for the first broadcast platform, Chenguang Entertainment did not choose a local station because of price reasons, but chose the spoon station based on the audience range.

The Golden Age, which is known as the first "idol drama" in mainland China, did not disappoint TVB, which spent a huge amount of money to purchase the broadcasting rights.

The TV series received an 8.8% viewership rating on the day of its premiere, and maintained an average viewership rating of around 8% in the following days.

This has brought great attention to many actors in this TV series.

Among them, the two female protagonists received the most attention.

Zhang Chen originally wanted to talk to Liu Yifei about the news that her Weibo followers had surged, but judging from the situation, he probably wouldn't have the chance to do so within ten days or half a month.

"Haha, you dare to call me a bastard?"

Zhang Chen grinned and logged into Liu Yifei's Weibo
The next day, when Chinese netizens logged into Weibo to check the news of the day, they were all attracted by the same hot search term - "Liu Yifei's childhood". These netizens who knew Liu Yifei or not clicked on the link with great curiosity.

What appeared before them were nine childhood photos of Liu Yifei from the age of 7 to 15.

The caption is "I lost the bet~"

There are already more than one million comments below:

Princess: Oh, Yifei lost the bet with you?
Zhang Yadong: Needless to say, it must be her unscrupulous brother who came up with this bad idea, @张晨
Jay Chou: Yifei was also very pretty when she was a child.

Gao Yuanyuan: I’m very curious, what was the bet?

Fan Bingbing: Yifei is very good in the new drama. When can you act in a TV series with me?

Jiang Yiyan: Why did Yifei only report for this day? When will you return to school? Everyone misses you.

Zhang Chen: Huh? What's going on?
In addition to these close celebrities, many other celebrities have expressed their opinions on Liu Yifei's new drama. Many of them are well-known seniors in the circle, such as Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli and others, all of whom praised Liu Yifei's performance.

This is what it means when you have someone to back you up. Everyone will come to support you, and you’ll see only good people everywhere.

Apart from these celebrities, the most comments came from netizens.

@希望幸福: Is this Bai Xiuzhu? Love it!
@阅读书太快因洛负忍: I’ve been a fan of Yifei since she debuted as a singer, but I didn’t expect that she’s such a great actress!
@古月唯歌LBJ: The goddess was so cute when she was a child!

@白月光小鱼儿℃: Didn't they say this was Zhang Chen's masterpiece? Why does Zhang Chen seem to be unaware of this after reading his comments?
@薰勿空: I suspect Zhang Chen is trying something very new.

@兜里格郎: I am more curious about why Yifei lost.

@青提橙子: After recounting the past of Yifei and his brother, I made a major discovery!

@The butt is redder than the monkey’s face: @Green grape orange, be gentle and talkative!
Before a certain netizen could reorganize his words, he received a three-day ban package from Weibo.

You can't just talk about the boss's gossip. Stay in the small dark room for a few days first.

The technical staff of Weibo looked at the banned account and gave themselves a thumbs up, thus saving their job.

Two songs became famous along with this TV series, one of which is "An Xiang".

It was only a few days later that everyone discovered that this song was actually sung by Zhang Chen!

This is way off the mark.

A TV series with an investment of only tens of millions of RMB has the world's pop king singing the OST?

What a big card!
Another song, or MV, also became popular.

Because Zhang Chen has sung a version of this song before, and this TV drama version was used as a promotional video when it was broadcast in Hong Kong Island.

"Guest" Cantonese version by Liu Yifei.

The lyrics and music were still written by Zhang Chen.

So it was only natural that these two songs quickly topped the on-demand charts of Morning Light Music.

No.1: "Hidden Fragrance"

No.2: "Guest" (Liu Yifei version)

No.3: Time Cooks Rain

No.4: "Happy"

No.5: The Wind Rises

No. 6: That Girl

No.7: Prague Square

When Jolin Tsai just released her album in March, due to the hype and the scandal with Jay Chou, her new album "Prague Square" was successfully ranked in the top 3 of the charts. However, these two songs kicked her off the throne before she even had time to sit on it.

The top five once again returned to the situation at the beginning of the year when Zhang Chen's album songs dominated the charts.

At this time, two months have passed since the release of the album "Time Cooks Rain", and the sales of physical albums have increased from 2000 million copies last month to 3500 million copies.

Among them, the mainland region contributed more than 400 million copies. Although it is not as much as the previous Billboard chart-topping incident when fans spontaneously bought the album "Stronger", in the history of the entire Chinese music scene, there are only a handful of albums whose sales have exceeded 200 million, and this has only been two months.

As for the two new singles, since no album has been produced, they are only available to the entire network in the form of digital music.

In just three days, the number of paid downloads of "An Xiang" reached 50 times, and "Guest" ranked second with 46 times.

The number of plays of the two songs has exceeded 500 million, accounting for a quarter of the current member users of Morning Light Music.

In other words, Morning Music has now returned to the era of 2000 million member users.

The fee of 10 yuan for attracting new customers is so terrifying.

It was just a hard time for Du Zhining and the technical team behind him. They had to keep an eye on the data day and night for more than three months, and they also had to transfer the "new customer acquisition fee" to a designated account every once in a while.

This series of work gave them the idea of creating a payment platform.

“Payment platform”

Zhang Chen looked at the email sent by Du Zhining and began to consider whether to do it.

The benefits behind this thing are indeed not small, but the risks are even greater.

After thinking about it, he decided to take a more cautious approach and not touch something that could easily cause an accident. He would continue to use things like Q coins for now, and then consider this matter after the era of smartphones arrives.

Just when he finished sending the email and explaining the work to Du Zhining.

Zhang Chen’s penguin started to go crazy, chirping non-stop.

Zhang Chen covered his ears and clicked on the crazy jumping kitten avatar, and saw Liu Yifei's crazy screen swiping:
"Are you there? Are you there? What did you do with it???"

"If you have the ability to be online, you should have the ability to reply to messages!"

"Speak! You bastard!"

Zhang Chen placed his fingers on the keyboard and typed out a word:

"exist"

Every three seconds after the message was sent, Liu Yifei's video call request popped up.

Zhang Chen clicked "Reject".

Liu Yifei played again, and he refused again.

If you click accept at this time, you will be scolded.

The two men fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds.

Finally, Zhang Chen's cell phone rang.

Zhang Chen pressed the call button and held the phone far away.

Sure enough, a roar came from inside: "Connect the video!!!"

"Let's talk on the phone."

Zhang Chen thought that if he couldn't see his face at this time, he might be less injured.

"If you dare to hang up my video again, I will never let you go!" Liu Yifei yelled and hung up the phone.

Zhang Chen looked at the video call request that popped up on his computer again and felt conflicted.

Being funny is fun for a while, but it is hard to appease a girl who is in a rage.
　Who hasn't made a girl angry? It's all tears if I talk too much.
