The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 254: Back to school, a difficult script to review

"I do not know."

Liu Yifei lay down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

She had thought about becoming a dancer like her mother.

Later, when he saw how well Zhang Chen sang, he wanted to become a singer. However, due to his lack of talent and his laziness in practicing qigong, he finally released an album of "children's songs" with the help of Zhang Chen.

Later, when she saw Zhang Chen acting in a TV series, she also applied for the Beijing Film Academy and starred in a TV series produced by Chenguang Entertainment because she wanted to act with Zhang Chen.

After going through all this, I was doing this and that, seeming to have done everything, yet also seeming to have done nothing. I became completely confused, and in the end I cried because of my stupidity.

Later, she found that being an actor required a lot of sacrifice. After weighing the sacrifices of being an actor and her "chasing brother's cause", she decisively chose Zhang Chen.

So now the path for actors is also half broken.

If Liu Yifei hadn't participated in "The Voice of China" just to prove herself, she wouldn't have known how difficult it was to achieve success through hard work.

However, just when she was about to work harder, a big piece of pie fell from the sky. The assets of 10 billion RMB were enough for her to lie at home and do nothing for the rest of her life, living an easy life.

She was bewildered.

"At such a young age, you should still go to class seriously."

Zhang Chen grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started cracking them, while placing the melon seed shells on the little girl's forehead little by little. After a while, he had piled up a pyramid.

"You're still talking about me, but you're also talking about me, ah~"

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes in annoyance, and when she saw Zhang Chen eating melon seeds, she opened her mouth and wanted Zhang Chen to feed her.

I did get to eat the melon seeds, but the melon seed shells were piling up more and more on my forehead.

"Don't tell me, I really have to go to school for a while."

"What are you doing going to school as a big boss?"

"So you little rich girl aren't going to go to school?"

The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

It’s not that they missed school particularly. After all, they didn’t have a close relationship with Beijing Film Academy and only showed up at the beginning of the school year.

But their class teacher has asked them many times whether they are going back or not. If they don’t go back to cancel their leave, others will start gossiping.

Although people like Zhang Chen are shameless and don't care about gossip, their current job is indeed that of a student. If they don't attend classes for a single day, it will be exposed and they may be suspected of faking their academic qualifications.

Netizens don’t care whether you graduated based on your real ability, and they don’t know that sometimes extracurricular learning opportunities are more useful than rote learning in school.

As long as you skip classes for a long time, many people will think you are a bad student who doesn't study hard.

Come to think of it, it has been a whole year since they enrolled in school, and they have not had a single day of proper classes. It does seem a bit inappropriate.

Before, I could use the excuse of filming a TV series or participating in a competition, but now the TV series has been temporarily completed and "The Voice of China" has also ended. If there is nothing else important, it is better to go to school to show your face.

After all, they are all from the Beijing Film Academy in the domestic film and television circle. When we are looking for actors in the future, we should learn more about the teachers and students in the same school so that it will be easier to screen.

"Shenzhou V has already gone to space, but I still have to go to school!"

Liu Yifei slapped Zhang Chen's thigh indignantly.

The sound is very clear, and you can tell it's a good thigh at a glance.

"Shenzhou V has been launched into space, do you want to go there too?" Zhang Chen threw a piece of melon seed shell into Liu Yifei's mouth.

"Bah bah bah!"

Liu Yifei chewed a few bites subconsciously and found that it was melon seed shells. She wanted to get up and spit it out.

But she forgot that there was a pile of melon seed shells on her forehead. When she stood up, the melon seed shells fell all over her: "Zhang Chen!"

"Calling me brother is disrespectful."

Afterwards, the two began their daily confrontation game.

In addition to the news of Shenzhou V's launch into space in October, which excited the Chinese people, there was actually another event that affected the future lifestyle of the domestic people.

On October 10, Taobao launched its first ATM service, officially opening the era of online shopping dominated by third-party payment institutions.

In the future, when people buy things online, they will no longer need to go through a series of cumbersome procedures. They only need to deduct the payment through the bank card linked to Taobao.

No other company on the Internet has a plug-in that can achieve the same functions as Taobao.

The technology involved requires a large technical team to master.

Just like Chenguang Technology, some time ago, Zhang Chen also asked the company's technical department to develop similar payment methods, striving to launch a payment platform within a certain period of time to simplify the payment methods of several companies.

Before that, it is estimated that Jack Ma will seek cooperation with Morning Glory Music on the premise of developing his own shopping website.

This is also foreseeable. After all, apart from shopping on Taobao, the biggest channel for netizens to consume is the monthly membership fees paid to Morning Glory Music and paid music download fees.

If we add in the Diannang that Zhang Chen just acquired, as well as the various paid online novel websites that will be acquired in the future, the Chenguang Group will become the leading large company in the domestic online payment industry and will definitely become a potential customer of Zhimao.

Now it all depends on when Jack Ma comes knocking.

In the second half of October, Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei stayed in school.

In addition to attending classes as usual, Zhang Chen would also go to Tian Zhuangzhuang's place.

For no other reason, he just wanted to let this fifth-generation director take a look at the script he had polished. "Is it difficult for your script to pass the review in China?"

After reading the script given by Zhang Chen, Tian Zhuangzhuang felt a little embarrassed. Although the story really attracted him, according to the domestic censorship system, it would be difficult to get it approved by the group of old guys who review the scripts.

That group of people are used to bossing people around, and Zhang Chen is a newcomer to the film industry, so he will probably be "beaten" by them.

The people over there just don't have good brains sometimes.

“I don’t plan to shoot in the country either.”

Zhang Chen also knew that the plot of this script was a bit over the line, or that the ending would not pass domestic censorship, but he didn't want to change it, so he had to shoot it abroad.

“Are you a director?”

Tian Zhuangzhuang asked curiously.

Judging from the completeness of the script that Zhang Chen brought, he felt that Zhang Chen should be more interested in movies, otherwise he would not have studied so hard with him and Jiang Wen when they were on the crew.

"It's just a hobby. If I have time, I can take a few shots, but the possibility is probably not high."

Zhang Chen looked at the script in his hand with regret.

He already has enough things on his hands, and adding the identity of a director to himself would undoubtedly add a lot of trouble to himself.

Although the movie made from this script can win the director a lot of honors, if the movie wins the "Best Picture" award, the honor will go to the producer and production company, not the director.

But this award is not so absolute.

Judging from the situation in the domestic film industry, the honor of Best Picture will most likely go to the director, after all, it is a director-centered operation system.

If it happens in Hollywood, the director will have no chance to win the best film award.

Zhang Chen, on the other hand, plans to go abroad to be a producer and bring together the entire crew.

"It's a pity to waste such a good book."

Tian Zhuangzhuang could also see that if this script was well made, it would surely win many nominations for international awards, and it could even compete for awards at the three major film festivals.

If you are lucky, it is not impossible to win one of the three international gold medals.

"I also want to bring an award back to the school, but you know, it's too difficult to get those old guys to give in with this script."

Tian Zhuangzhuang fell silent upon hearing this. He himself was forbidden to conduct under such circumstances, and he knew very well how complicated the situation was.

Many stories with conflicts and connotations will be killed if they cross the line and do not conform to the values.

"You can go and ask Han Sanping for help. If that doesn't work, you can ask Director Tong. I still think this film can win an award. If your domestic film and television industry misses out on this film, some people will point their fingers at your back and poke your spine."

“Some people are really…”

Zhang Chen was also speechless.

He knew what Tian Zhuangzhuang meant.

It's nothing more than that he takes the script and goes abroad to shoot it. After winning an award, he will be criticized by some people, who will say something sour like "it's a good award-winning movie, but it's not shot in China, and it's a bargain for foreigners".

Zhang Chen has seen too many things like this in later generations.

This was also the result of him guessing the outcome and directly skipping some of the intermediate steps.

If he had submitted the script for review first, and then filmed it abroad after it was rejected, perhaps there would not be such voices.

"Give it a try. It's good for bringing some honor to the school. It can be regarded as compensation for skipping classes for a whole school year." Tian Zhuangzhuang teased jokingly.

"I've been busy with work for a while, okay?"

"Some people don't care whether you are busy with work or not. They just know that you are a big star who didn't come to class for the whole year of your freshman year. Now there are some gossips outside."

“Life is so tiring.”

Zhang Chen sighed helplessly.

He knew that those who spread such gossip were not insiders, but ignorant people who did not know the truth.

But because there are people who are unaware of the inside story and lead the trend, the evaluation of him will become negative.

Although he can use some tough measures to control most of the speech on the Internet.

But how could a private entrepreneur like him control public opinion? Some people are very stubborn and dare to say anything.

The key is that if you ignore him, he will think he is right and will become more unscrupulous.

If you pay attention to such remarks, he will scold you even more harshly.

"Forget it, let's just give it a try. I've got this to say. If you don't give me the result within three days, I'll go to Hollywood to find a crew next month. Don't accuse me of not giving the school a chance to win an award then."

Zhang Chen will not tolerate those who review the script. If they don't approve it, he will just go abroad to shoot.

He is a prominent figure in the country after all, so how could he possibly endure the humiliation from those old guys?

This time it was Zhang Chen who gave them the opportunity, rather than them giving Zhang Chen the opportunity.

If they know what's best for them, the honor will be domestic. If they don't, don't blame him for leaking the news that the script failed to pass the review.

　This book officially opens up the film industry, guess which script it is?
