The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 227: Short and tight? Press to death!

On July 7, the World Health Organization announced that it had successfully controlled the biggest event of the year.

It was also on this day that the recording of "The Voice of China" began!
But in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Chen, who was supposed to appear at the recording site of "The Voice of China", quietly came to Yongkang.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which was delayed for half a year due to special events, immediately decided to hold a press conference and start filming when the World Health Organization announced that the disease had been successfully controlled.

The scale of this press conference was not as grand as the "Voice of China" a few days ago. There was only a long table in a hall, and seats reserved for media reporters opposite.

The press conference officially began at around ten o'clock in the morning.

After all the media reporters arrived, the actors of the show also entered the press conference wearing the clothes of their characters.

The roles of each actor were also shown one by one on the spot:

Zhang Chen——Li Xiaoyao
Liu Yifei——Zhao Linger
Yan Danchen - Lin Yueru
Singing - Anu

Luo Jin——Tang Yu

Xie Junhao - The Drunken Swordsman
In terms of the selection of roles for this drama, except for the role of the Drunken Swordsman, all other roles have been completely replaced by Zhang Chen.

These actors were very surprised when they received the interview invitation from Morning Light Entertainment.

Because in their impression, Chen Guang has many actors under its banner, many of whom are big names, so there is no need to look for these small actors who don't have much presence in the entertainment industry.

But they didn't think much about it and basically accepted the olive branch extended by Morning Light Entertainment.

The role was given to them for free, and it was produced by Chenguang Entertainment. Now that the filming has officially started, they also learned that they can act in a TV series with Zhang Chen. They can't tell you how excited they are.

"Thank you for your hard work, journalists. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

Li Xiaoping, who once again served as the producer of Morning Light Entertainment, also took on the role of host of the press conference today.

"I want to ask Zhang Chen, The Voice of China has reportedly started recording, but why aren't you on the list of mentors?"

“Because we have to shoot this TV series.”

Zhang Chen answered quickly, leaving the reporter, who was looking for more information, speechless.

Therefore, the excuse of celebrities not having schedules does work sometimes.

"Then I want to ask Ms. Liu Yifei, as this is your fourth TV series, and both are produced by Morning Light Entertainment, then what do you have to say about the rumors that you stole other people's roles?"

This is still a relatively sensitive topic. If there are any rumors about actors competing for roles, it will more or less bring some negative impressions to people in the industry and even the audience.

"Grab a role?" Liu Yifei repeated the question curiously, then turned to look at Li Xiaoping and asked, "I remember when this TV series was first launched, Sister Ping, you asked me to reserve a time slot?"

"Well, after finishing the script, the director and I thought about suitable actresses, and finally we unanimously decided to give the role to Yifei."

Although Liu Yifei, this silly girl, broke the reporter's rumor about "stealing the role", her words directed the key issue to the word "internal decision".

Although this was indeed the case, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, Li Xiaoping still explained it again, trying to barely fill the loophole that Liu Yifei had pointed out.

"This should be the third time Yifei and Zhang Chen have played a couple on screen, right? Do these three roles have any different feelings for you?"

"What's different." Liu Yifei thought for a while, "Maybe it was from liking him, to him liking me, to liking him again?"

Liu Yifei's summary made many people present think for a long time before they reacted.

Xiao Zhao likes Zhang Wuji, Duan Yu likes Wang Yuyan, so in this new drama it should be that the character played by Liu Yifei likes Zhang Chen?

"There have been rumors that Yifei has relied on the resources of Morning Light Entertainment to gain such fame at such a young age since her debut. Do you have anything to say about this?"

The reporters still didn't let Liu Yifei go.

Because just a few days ago, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", which Chenguang Entertainment had been working on for a long time in post-production, was officially broadcast on TV.

The broadcast of this TV series can be said to have given a huge blow to the looks of young boys across the Taiwan Straits, Hong Kong, Macau, and even the entire Southeast Asia.

Liu Yifei's Xiao Zhao, Gao Yuanyuan's Zhou Zhiruo, Fan Bingbing's Zhao Min, and Alyssa Chia's Yin Susu, all of these beauties who would be top-notch in any TV series, were gathered together by Morning Light Entertainment to film a TV series.

This not only feasted the audience's eyes, but also made them feel envy, jealousy and hatred towards Zhang Chen.

These beauties are all surrounding Zhao Chen. When many male compatriots watch "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" recently, they all want to get into the TV and replace Zhang Chen.

"They are right. I am an artist of Morning Light Entertainment. What's the problem?"

Liu Yifei really didn't think there was anything wrong with this question. As she said, her agency contract was signed with Chenguang Entertainment, so Chenguang Entertainment's resources would naturally be tilted towards her.

And it doesn’t mean that she has monopolized all the resources of the Morning Light series. Other Morning Light series artists are still shining in different fields.

Take Fan Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan for example.

Under Chen Guang's cultivation, her current momentum has gradually caught up with the four young actresses selected last year.

Perhaps after a while, these two people will be able to surpass the so-called "Four Little Flowers" selected by a newspaper last year in terms of fame or strength.

As for Liu Yifei herself, ever since she confided to Zhang Chen that she had not been recognized for so many years, she had figured it out. She actually just wanted to be recognized by Zhang Chen himself and get a compliment from Zhang Chen, and she no longer cared much about other people's comments.

"Recently, someone in the music industry said that the fact that your album is loved by the public is a sign of a decline in the public's aesthetic ability. Do you have anything to say about this issue?"

"I was told two years ago that the songs I released don't have much artistic value, but you should ask the people who wrote the songs for me."

Liu Yifei doesn't care about this at all.

For her, as long as her fans like her songs, it doesn’t matter even if she sings many songs that are not recognized by the so-called mainstream.

This brings us back to the topic that even Zhang Chen is troubled by, which is what kind of song can be considered a good song.

"Why did Zhang Chen write these songs for Yifei in the first place?"

Since the main person had thrown the topic to Zhang Chen, the reporters who had originally wanted to ask Zhang Chen would naturally not miss such a good opportunity and immediately threw the questions to Zhang Chen.

As for the entire entertainment industry today, the media is increasingly afraid to ask Zhang Chen questions.

Because some problems are easy to step on landmines.

If they mess with Zhang Chen, they will suffer the consequences.

"This question was originally asked purely to appease the child." Zhang Chen had just finished speaking when the instep of his foot was hit hard under the table.

However, he remained calm and continued to answer: "But everyone can have different preferences, and the same goes for songs."

Zhang Chen actually thought about this question for a long time. In order to avoid being asked this kind of question again in the future, he felt that writing that song would make most people shut up.

After that, the reporters did not cause any more trouble for the entire crew.

After all, the only two people who are really worth asking are Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei.

For Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei, every time they are asked a question at a press conference, if they can answer it well, it is also a way to dispel some rumors. The reporters can also obtain some topical material, which can be considered a win-win situation.

"What I am more curious about now is which industry insider made the statement in the last question?"

After the press conference, all the crew members started to busy themselves with shooting the first scene, and Zhang Chen immediately found Yin Zilan, who was rarely seen working with Zhang Chen again.

Because of the work arrangement given by Zhang Chen, Yin Zilan now needs to help Liu Yifei receive notices, so she will probably follow the crew during the entire filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"I think his name is Ai Da Jin? This name sounds quite strange." When Yin Zilan first heard this name, she felt a strong aversion to this person.

Who would choose such a name? It sounds like he is not a good person.

"He, after all, comes from an educated family."

When Zhang Chen heard the name, a hairy, round face that made him feel sick instantly appeared in his mind.

"Press him to death, use all the dirty tricks you can."

Zhang Chen gave Yin Zilan a task without even thinking about it.

This kind of person must not be allowed to be active in an era of advanced Internet.

Otherwise, I don’t know how many people would be led astray by some of his remarks.

This thing is just like a talking magazine.

"Junzi?"

Yin Zilan mentioned the name of a person who had passed away three years ago.

"Ah."

Zhang Chen nodded, indicating his approval of the plan.

Moreover, this is not slander, but an objective fact. He just brought this matter up again to seek justice for the girl.

After all, his mother once said that the last phone call she received said: "Aidajin sold me out."

There was no recording of this incident and no evidence.

But judging from the character of Ai Dajin, Zhang Chen believed that what Yunzi said was true.

A young life. There could have been another new generation singer in the mainland music scene.

"You can't just rely on this one, dig up more information about him and see what's there."

Just one night later, there was a new topic on Weibo.

How to judge the quality of a song?

This topic has attracted a lot of onlookers.

Because this topic is obviously directed at Ai Dajin yesterday, who publicly questioned on Weibo that the songs that are currently popular in the ringback tone service are not the good songs that Ai Dajin thinks they are.

"I want to know if Shorty is famous?"

"I was born into an educated family and lived in a family compound since I was young, surrounded by experts in certain fields."

"You are an intellectual after all. How could you doubt the public's aesthetic taste?"

"Because he is an intellectual, he naturally looks down on the aesthetic taste of uneducated people like us."

"I heard it was because of him?"

"Don't dare to talk nonsense. Because of this incident, Ai Da Jin sued 19 media outlets. Who dares to talk about him now? Aren't you afraid of a lawyer's letter of warning?"

"Hey, I'm really showing off my rebellious nature. Wait, brothers, I'm going to dig up some dirt on this guy."

"Aidajin just got divorced last year, but what happened three years ago was quite a big deal. It seems like it's not a simple matter!"

With Zhang Chen's instruction, the matter fermented quickly.

In just half a day, Aidianjin’s backstage private messages exploded.

Because there was no Internet at the time, his incident was quickly suppressed and did not cause much of a stir.

But now that the Internet is so developed, as long as there is a trigger point, everyone will rush in like flies to the smell of blood.

Ai Dajin himself also used his connections to find Du Zhining as soon as possible, hoping that Weibo would reduce the heat of this incident.

This can also be considered as a source of income for Weibo, which is to collect some "public relations fees". This part of income and advertising income have long been the basis for "Morning Light Weibo" to be self-sufficient.

In some matters, Du Zhining does take money to do things. After all, some celebrity news that attracts the attention of netizens is considered to infringe on other people's privacy rights. In this case, there is no psychological burden at all for Weibo to take money to reduce the popularity.

But in the matter of Ai Dajin, regardless of whether it was instructed by the boss Zhang Chen, Du Zhining did not dare to suppress the matter easily because Minyi was already beginning to go out of control.

If this is really done, then the cloak of freedom of speech on Weibo will be sadly stripped away.

This is not good for Weibo's image among netizens.

Users are the foundation of Weibo.

This is the only development plan Zhang Chen told Du Zhining.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ai, our company really can't do this kind of thing. Our company's business is to allow netizens to speak freely on the Internet without breaking the law."

"I'll give you money!"

"I'm sorry, Chenguang Group really doesn't lack money."

This time, Du Zhining did not keep Ai Dajin hanging like he did with Zhang Weiping, but directly rejected Ai Dajin's idea of paying money to settle the matter.

Just like he said, Chenguang Group is not short of money.

Du Zhining, at the instruction of Zhang Chen, also obtained some shares of Weibo. He himself has achieved financial freedom and will not be tempted by such small amounts of money, nor will he sell out his greater future for a little favor.

"I want to deal with your Weibo account for violating my reputation rights."

"Haha, Mr. Shorty, please do as you please."

Du Zhining hung up the phone with a smile.

Prosecution?

What a joke! He, Ai Dajin, comes from an educated family, but his boss's family background is poor?

It is said that there is a large group of university leaders standing behind the boss, and the relationship between them is particularly close.

In addition, when Spoon Station introduced the boss, was the title of "Outstanding Young Man" really just a casual remark?
If "outstanding youth" are viewed as intellectuals, then the promotion path is generally: Bachelor-Master-PhD-Postdoctoral Fellow-Associate Professor-Professor-Outstanding Youth-Outstanding Youth-Changjiang-Academician.

In the academic circle, "Young Elite Student" is also known as the "small hat" and is the first hat given to academicians.

Although Zhang Chen is not from the academic circle, his status in certain fields is officially certified.

So if you really count it, Zhang Chen's title is more powerful than that of his parents.

Sometimes in China, there are some special official titles. These are special honors that can only be obtained by people who have made special contributions to the country. They are not just for the sake of adding a few more words to the introduction.

　It’s a big chapter with 4200 words. It won’t be a big problem to resume the chapter today. I’ll just try to make up for the updates that are owed before the end of the month.

　　Actually, I had originally planned to just post 10,000 updates a month, but I ended up competing with myself, and now it’s been over a month, and I’m still insisting on posting 10,000 updates.

　　Finally, let me ask one more question: I guess no one would like Ai Dajin, right?
