The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 259: Poaching, the Spring Festival Gala that makes Zhang Chen nervous

"Director Xu, I think the reason for holding this meeting today is because of those people who make inappropriate comments online, right?" He looked at the leaders at the top seriously, "First, on behalf of Weibo, I can deal with some accounts that make unsubstantiated slanderous comments online."

“Online speech needs to be regulated.”

"Of course, I will ask people in the company to verify the real names of all accounts and try to find the relevant people directly when something happens."

“Citizens’ information needs to be protected.”

"clear."

This Weibo post has caused such a big stir that the country will definitely intervene.

Before coming here, Zhang Chen had figured it out. He realized that it was not safe to control such a large public opinion platform in his own hands. He would definitely need people at the national level to supervise it. In this way, if anything went wrong, it would not be solely his fault, the Chenguang Group.

"I need to ask how you will deal with those accounts that clearly violate the law and randomly spread rumors and defame others on the Internet?"

"Collect evidence and hand it over to the judicial authorities. I hope to be convicted of defamation and bear all the economic and reputational losses suffered by the victim."

Zhang Chen's answer caused an uproar at the scene.

Judging from the conversation between Zhang Chen and Feng Xiaogang just now, some of the recent false remarks about Zhang Chen on the Internet were manipulated by Feng Xiaogang behind the scenes.

Although Feng Kuazi denied it, he backed down when Zhang Chen said he had evidence.

Obviously, even if Feng Kuzi was not directly involved in this matter, he should have been aware of it, and there is a high possibility that he was one of the indirect participants, otherwise Feng Kuzi would not have backed down so quickly.

According to this line of thinking, Zhang Chen's words were obviously intended to push Feng Kuazi into a dead end.

First comes litigation with evidence, then comes compensation.

It’s hard to say whether I can get in or not, but will I get financial compensation for the losses?

Considering Zhang Chen's status and position, how much should the compensation be?
No one dared to think about it any further.

"It is legal and compliant, so it is also appropriate."

Before Director Xu could finish, Feng Kuazi said anxiously: "Wait!"

"Director Feng, do you have any objections?"

"I think a private enterprise should not have the private information of citizens of so many countries! And such an enterprise has no right to arbitrarily deprive others of their freedom to express their opinions online."

Feng Kuazi also knew that his rebuttal was unreasonable.

Being born on this land, it is impossible to follow one's own will completely.

Therefore, it is only natural for public opinion platforms like Weibo to exercise certain supervision over the comments made by netizens.

But Feng Kuzi was panicking. If Zhang Chen's idea was really implemented, wouldn't he become the first test subject of this rule?

When people in later generations trace back his information, he will definitely be mentioned repeatedly and his corpse will be whipped.

How could Feng Kuzi, who attached great importance to his reputation, accept this?

So even though he knew his words were full of loopholes, he still had to refute them.

"Director Xu, I hope that people from the relevant departments will supervise the entry of certain relevant departments into Weibo to a certain extent."

A certain degree of supervision is something to be said for.

It can be giving orders or it can be a symbolic presence, the scale in between depends on how much power Zhang Chen is willing to give up.

As for forcing it?
There is something to be said about Zhang Chenjie’s title of Young Scholar.

“I will discuss this with others.”

Director Xu nodded with satisfaction. He felt that Zhang Chen always had a good grasp of the major issues, and that his approach to key issues was in line with their wishes.

This is also the fundamental reason why these people like this young man so much and are willing to tolerate Zhang Chen doing some seemingly willful but harmless things at certain times.

"Then I'll write a lawyer's letter when I get back?"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, everyone looked at Director Xu nervously, especially Feng Kuazi.

If things really develop like this, Feng Kuazi will become "one of" the people Zhang Chen sends in again.

"I think," Director Xu also looked at the crowd of people with a headache, "harmony brings wealth."

Before Zhang Chen could open his mouth to complain, he added: "But the compensation that is due still needs to be paid."

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. Zhang Chen, come with me."

Many people who attended the meeting left the meeting room with heavy hearts.

In fact, for them, the matter between Zhang Chen and Feng Kuzi was not the focus of their attention.

What they are worried about is that the other two things are now spreading like wildfire on the Internet, causing the public to have great suspicion of people in their circle.

Zhang Chen and Director Xu also chatted about their concerns in an office.

"Does that female celebrity named Zhang have any evidence?"

"Uh, I don't know either."

Zhang Chen spread his hands, indicating that he was unaware of the situation.

What female celebrity? I’ve never seen her before.

"Don't play along with me. I don't believe that recent events are so coincidental."

"Leader, sometimes things just happen by coincidence."

"Alright, alright, I don't care about other things. I want to see the Internet restored to normalcy in a short time. The current situation is really terrible!"

Zhang's Residence was formed by the merger of four medium-sized and large courtyard houses.
Zhang Chen stared at the two videotapes he had just received from Brother Wang.

These two videotapes were different from the ones Xue Yining had given him before. The contents inside were extremely explosive and basically covered many well-known people in the mainland's film and television circles.

With something like this, you can have a trump card to deal with some "disobedient" people.

It’s just that you can’t use this thing casually.

He can only let others feel that he has it, but he cannot let others know that he has it.

"Put Zhang Yu in a prominent position, so that everyone in the entire mainland circle knows that this person works for Chenguang Entertainment."

"it is good."

Xue Yining nodded, accepted the task and went out to do the work.

Not long after Xue Yining left the house, someone came to tell Zhang Chen that Director Feng was at the door.

"Tell him to wait for me in the living room."

Zhang Chen didn't leave Feng hanging, as there were still a lot of things to do, so he had to finish this mess as soon as possible.

After a while, Feng Kuazi walked into the reception room led by the family servants.

"Zhang Chen, that..."

Feng Kuzi was so embarrassed. A few days ago, he was still calling the shots on the Internet, and he had tarnished Zhang Chen's reputation.

As a result, he was caught by the real owner.

The key point is that he has been forced into a corner. Zhang Chen has already clearly stated the way to settle the matter in the meeting, and he can only go along with Zhang Chen's wishes and ask for a solution.

"Director Feng, your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?" "Hahahaha"

Zhang Chen looked at the director in front of him who was so reserved, like a little wife, and wanted to laugh.

This guy has been following Wang Shuo's ass since his debut, which is why he got this somewhat humiliating nickname. He himself has never admitted it and does not allow others to mention it in front of him.

However, after the issue of signature in "Party A and Party B", he, Feng Pants, also known as Wang Shuo, fell out with his master, but the nickname has been passed down.

In general, this guy is a person who flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak and has a very high opinion of himself.

This time he met Zhang Chen. Although he dared to do some small tricks behind the scenes before, when it came to a confrontation, he didn't dare to say a word in front of Zhang Chen.

"I remember that Cell Phone was going to be released on the 18th?"

Zhang Chen's seemingly questioning words turned into threatening words when they fell into Feng Kuazi's ears.

Chenguang Cinemas has a criminal record.

"Heroes of Heaven and Earth" has caused Huayi to lose nearly 2000 million yuan, and Huayi is counting on "Cell Phone" to fill this hole.

If "Mobile Phone" is folded in again.
He doesn't know whether Huayi will go bankrupt, but he and Feng Kuazi will definitely be beaten to death by the two Wangs.

Because all of this was caused by him, and it was not of the same nature as the misfortune that Zhao Junqi had suffered before.

"Zhang Chen, please tell me how much compensation I want!"

Feng Kuazi was also desperate and didn't want to worry about anything here.

From the time he came in until now, Zhang Chen has not let him sit down, which is already a great humiliation. He now wants to leave this humiliating place as soon as possible.

"Do you think," Zhang Chen sneered, "I'll be short of money?"

There was not much money in Feng's trouser pockets, and even if he took it all out, it would still not earn as much interest as the money Zhang Chen had deposited in the bank.

There is absolutely no point in making Feng Kuazi pay money.

"What do you want?"

Feng Kuzi also lost his temper. This and that were not acceptable to him. He had absolutely no chance of turning the situation around.

He also knew that Zhang Chen would definitely not look down on the little money he had in his pocket, but that was all he could offer.

After all, unlike other big directors, he does not have abundant resources to provide to Zhang Chen. He came from a grassroots background and only relied on Wang Shuo's influence and help to succeed.

But now he and Wang Shuo have fallen out, and he doesn't have any resources to offer.

"How is it?"

Zhang Chen supported his chin with one hand and rhythmically moved the five fingers of the other hand on the table, lost in thought.

What's on Feng Pants?
Although his temper, quality and character are somewhat poor, it is undeniable that he is indeed one of the few directors in the mainland who can quickly keep up with the era of commercial blockbusters.

Chenguang Entertainment is also short of directors.

But the key point is that Feng Kuazi is an uneasy person, and it is common for him to spit shit offline and online.

If he were to join Morning Light Entertainment, it would be hard to say whether the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages would outweigh the benefits.

The living room fell into an eerie silence.

The sound of Zhang Chen's fingers tapping on the table was like a death knell hitting Feng Kuzi's head, causing cold sweat to break out on Feng Kuzi's forehead.

"How about this."

Just as Feng Kuazi's legs began to ache and he wanted to change his position, Zhang Chen spoke up: "Go to Weibo and make a public apology. Write down everything you have done in detail."

"Is that all?" Feng Xiaogang was a little surprised.

This is a bit like a lot of noise but little rain. Although it is embarrassing, but at this point in time, landing safely is the most important thing.

Zhang Chen looked at the happy expression on Feng Kuzi's face as if he was an idiot: "What do you think?"

"Uh, please continue." Feng Kuazi even addressed him respectfully.

"I want you to bring Li Bingbing and Wang Baoqiang to Chenguang."

Zhang Chen originally wanted to say Uncle Ge, but then he realized that Uncle Ge was not a Huayi employee at all. His agency contracts and film contracts were not in Huayi's hands. It was only because he often appeared in Feng Kuzi's movies that outsiders thought Uncle Ge was a Huayi employee.

"Wang Baoqiang?" Feng Kuazi looked puzzled, then realized, "This is impossible!"

"Wang Baoqiang can't come?"

"No." Feng Kuazi also realized that his words were ambiguous and added, "Li Bingbing couldn't have come to Chenguang."

Li Bingbing was the first artist signed by Huayi when it was just starting out. Now that he has been trained to maturity, it is completely impossible for Huayi to let him go.

You have to know that the group of artists that Wang Jinghua brought over have basically been banned by Zhang Chen. Even if they can still play some roles, it depends on whether Zhang Chen will show mercy to them. They are no different from a bunch of trash.

Now Huayi can only rely on the artists it originally signed, and Li Bingbing is one of the ones who receives special attention.

What is the difference between Zhang Chen's action and digging roots?
"Then it depends on your ability. I've given you the conditions. If there's no result before the Spring Festival." Zhang Chen smiled slightly, "See you in court?"

"Zhang Chen, I really have no choice. The big and small Wangs will never let us go!"

Zhang Chen thought about it and it seemed to make sense: "If Mr. Wang doesn't want to go in and operate the sewing machine, he'd better be obedient."

"You have his."

"Didn't I tell you not to leave any traces when you do things?"

"You actually know?"

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Zhang Chen didn't plan to keep Feng Kuzi any longer as he still had to prepare songs for the Spring Festival Gala.

"Okay." Feng Kuazi gritted his teeth and agreed to it.

After Feng Kuazi left, Zhang Chen got up and walked towards the recording studio.

On the way, he was also thinking about what he would do if Feng Kuazi succeeded in doing this.

Zhang Chen asked Feng Kuzi to bring Li Bingbing to Chenguang purely to disgust Hua Yi. As for what to do with these two people after they arrived, he had not figured it out yet.

As for Wang Baoqiang?
Feng Xiaogang thought this guy was just a bonus and he didn't take him seriously.

But Zhang Chen knew Wang Baoqiang's ability.

To be honest, in the domestic entertainment industry, the only person Zhang Chen admires is Wang Baoqiang.

Other people all have a lot of negative news to a certain extent. Even a certain Hong Kong superstar who is hailed as a perfect artist has some small stains that are criticized.

But Wang Baoqiang is an artist who even his cheating wife and his agent, the two people closest to him, could not dig up any negative information about him.

Even after bankruptcy, you still have to pay taxes if you borrow money.

There is no reason for Zhang Chen not to recruit an actor who possesses such excellent qualities as personality, character, and responsibility.

Just as I was thinking about it, we arrived at the recording studio.

"No other Spring Festival Gala has ever given me so much pressure," Zhang Chen muttered.

Because in this Spring Festival Gala, he will sing a very meaningful song with others.

　Well, you can guess it, right?
