The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 295: Wouldn’t He Bury Us?
".Thank you all for your love, from now on..." Zhang Chen got stuck in his thank you speech.

Normally, an actor would say something like "I will bring more excellent works to the audience in the future" here.

But Zhang Chen was different. He could only continue to say honestly: "I may not have many opportunities to film TV series in the future. This trophy may be my first and last actor trophy."

"No. Isn't there another "The Condor Heroes"? "

"That's why I said it's possible. The Return of the Condor Heroes hasn't even been filmed yet, let alone winning an award."

Zhang Chen on the stage was chatting with Teacher He.

If it were someone else, everyone might show a little impatience.

But if this were Zhang Chen.

In fact, today's celebrities are also quite interested in Zhang Chen's private life.

If they are stars among ordinary people, then Zhang Chen is the star among these stars.

For example, they are very interested in the question that Teacher He is asking now:
"Can you tell us about Zhang Chen's upcoming schedule?"

"What's next?" Zhang Chen thought for a moment. It would be October next, but there was one thing that needed to be completed in September. "Team building."

"Team building?"

"Yes, I took all the actors and singers of Morning Light to do a team-building."

"Hahahaha, I wish you have fun!"

Teacher He naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to ask Zhang Chen where they were going for team building.

"Yifei, do you know where to go to play?"

Shu Chang asked the questions that many people around him wanted to ask.

The surrounding Morning Light artists, such as Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and others, were simply curious about where they would go to play.

The minds of the artists who are not from Morning Glory Entertainment are much simpler.

Just to see if there is any chance of creating a "chance encounter".

As long as he can become familiar to Zhang Chen, then even if he doesn't become rich in the circle, at least he will have no problem having food and clothing.

Zhang Chen's appeal to artists in the Chinese entertainment industry is so great.

"Do you know where Zhang Chen is going when he mentioned the team building?"

Some people do it as soon as they think of it, for example, Wang Luodan asked Tong Dawei next to her.

"How could I know?" Tong Dawei denied without even thinking about it.

If he knew where it was, he would definitely follow it.

"Don't think about it. Even if you meet Zhang Chen, what will happen?" Sun Li on the other side glanced at Wang Luodan who was thinking about something.

"I'm just thinking about it, hehe."

No matter what others say, Wang Luodan wants to give it a try.

Although we don’t know where the team-building location of the Morning Light artists will be, one thing is certain.

That is, the location of this team building should be in Shonan.

Although the headquarters of Chenguang Entertainment is in the capital, Zhang Chen brought all the artists to Xiangnan.

If the team building is to be held in a region other than Shonan, then Zhang Chen can just wait until the end of the Golden Eagle TV Festival before returning to the capital and calling on the artists to join him, or everyone can just start from their respective cities and go directly to the destination to gather.

Now, these Morning Light artists who were originally in the capital and even scattered all over the country have gathered in Shonan, and many of them are singers who participated in today's actor awards ceremony.

In this case, the team building location can only be in Shonan, and it should be nearby.

"Thank you all for coming to the 5th Golden Eagle TV Festival."

Teacher He’s words interrupted Wang Luodan’s long contemplation.

"Brother Dawei, you guys go back first, I have something else to do."

"Ah?" Tong Dawei was extremely surprised, "Didn't you say you would call your mother when you get back to the hotel?"

"Uh, that's ok, I'll call on my phone."

After Wang Luodan finished speaking, she apologized to Tong Dawei and quickly left.

It’s not that she didn’t want to find a better reason, but she saw Zhang Chen and the artists from Morning Light Entertainment already started walking out of the venue.

Fortunately, a man who looked a little older stopped Zhang Chen and his friends.

She listened carefully and heard a few words.

"Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen!"

Before this man could get close to Zhang Chen, he was stopped by a group of bodyguards who suddenly appeared.

He could only shout loudly towards Zhang Chen while surrounded by the big men in black.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen also turned away from the crowd around him and looked at the man curiously through the human wall formed by the bodyguards: "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

This man has dark skin and wears a pair of glasses, so although he looks rough, he still has a gentle temperament.

"Zhang Chen, I want to ask Mr. Li from your company when he plans to adapt my novel into a TV series?"

"Who are you?" Seeing that the visitor was not here to cause trouble, Zhang Chen waved his hand and dismissed the bodyguards.

However, these bodyguards did not go far, but stood in front and on the side to prevent any unexpected situations from happening.

Because after checking, the bodyguards found that this person was not on the list of people the boss usually contacts.

This is, stranger.

"My name is Du Liang." The dark-skinned man straightened his wrinkled clothes and adjusted his glasses. "A few years ago, Mr. Li bought the rights to adapt my novel, but now it's been almost three years and there's been no news. Recently, a director wants to do it."

"What's the name of the novel?"

"Drawing Sword"

Hearing the name, Zhang Chen was obviously a little surprised. He took two steps forward and looked at the person who came.

Only then was it confirmed that the person in front of him was the author of the original novel of "Drawing Sword".

In his impression, the script should have been completed as early as 01, but due to the market's pessimism about anti-Japanese war dramas, the project was shelved for three years.

Zhang Chen originally thought about filming this TV series.

However, the company was already preparing many TV series at the time and was also thinking about entering the film industry. Zhang Chen did not specifically inquire about the details of this TV series and thought it would proceed normally according to the original history.

As a result, the TV adaptation rights for this drama, which has been rebroadcast countless times and is second only to "My Fair Princess", are now gathering dust in the copyright library of Chenguang Entertainment?
"Xiao Xue, ask Mr. Li when you get back."

Although he could answer on the spot when filming would start, Zhang Chen still went through the process.

It's not because of respect for Li Xiaoping's work.

It’s because there are a lot of people around watching me, if I agree directly.

This will give people around him an illusion that the problem can be easily solved by just stopping Zhang Chen and expressing their demands.

Once this idea comes into being, it will inevitably bring a lot of unnecessary harassment to Zhang Chen when he attends some events.

In addition, it is best not to easily agree to a project that you are not clear about the specifics of. The TV series has not started filming, and the original author did not go to the capital to find Li Xiaoping, but came here to block him, which was a bit strange.

So maybe there is some inside story that he doesn't know yet.

It would not be too late to let Li Xiaoping come to him to explain and then make a decision.

"I know about it. I will let the relevant person contact you."

Zhang Chen smiled and nodded to Du Liang, then continued to lead everyone out.

When they walked outside the venue, there was already a large convoy waiting on the roadside.

The fleet includes sports cars such as Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Lamborghini, as well as extended commercial vehicles such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

However, a limited number of people like Fan Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Bingbing, etc. have been equipped with the most high-end nanny cars currently available in China and abroad with the help of Morning Glory Entertainment.

Sports cars, business cars and the like may look imposing and luxurious, but in terms of comfort, nanny cars are still better.

Wang Luodan, who had been following behind them, watched the Chenguang artists get on the bus one by one, and the envy in her eyes could not be concealed.

It has been several months since she graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. When she received the contract for the TV series "Butterfly Flying", she had not yet graduated. It was also before the New Year, and Chenguang Entertainment had not yet started to distribute houses to artists.

After she signed the contract for this drama and officially entered the entertainment industry, she realized what a stupid decision it was to sign this TV drama while still in school.

Because she signed the contract for this TV series, she was automatically tied to Hairun, the company behind the TV series.

When the news reported that Chenguang Entertainment distributed houses in the capital to the artists, she regretted it so much.

After that, she also learned about some of Hairun’s benefits from other sources.

At least, there is no house.

Secondly, it is not possible for the artist Chen Guang to travel with luxury cars like he did just now.

Yes, but in the future, I may get some film contracts provided by Hairun, as well as some film contracts that I have to fight for with Hairun's support.
Wang Luodan felt mixed emotions and ran to the roadside and got into a black car that had been waiting for a long time.

"Ruoruo, quickly catch up with the convoy in front."

"Dandan, who's that in front? Did you force me to drive here an hour ago to wait for you?"

"You drive first, hurry up!" Wang Luodan interrupted her bestie's questioning and signaled her to catch up with the convoy. "That's Zhang Chen's convoy in front."

"Zhang Chen?!"

Wang Luodan heard the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground.

Ruoruo stepped hard on the peddle, and the car, which had just started, suddenly stopped again.

She turned around and stared at Wang Luodan with wide eyes: "Are you crazy? Is that someone you can follow?"

"What do you mean by tracking? I just wanted to... just forget it and drive faster, or I won't be able to catch up."

"Don't cheat me."

After hesitating for a moment, Ruoruo quickly started the car and caught up with the convoy in front that was about to disappear from their sight.

"I didn't notice it just now, but the cars in this convoy are really luxurious!"

Ruoruo was a little shocked when she saw the twenty or so luxury cars in front of her, which were rarely seen in normal times.

The total value of this entire fleet must be over 100 million, right?

"Those cars are allocated by Morning Light Entertainment to its own artists."

"Dandan." Ruoruo turned back and looked at her best friend again, "If you join Chenguang Entertainment, I will be your driver, okay?"

"I don't stand a chance."

"Didn't you just graduate?"

"Have you forgotten the drama I just starred in this year? I have signed with Hairun."

"Are you okay? Why are you going to Hairun?" Ruoruo slammed the brakes in anger. Feeling the stimulation brought by the push on her back, she glanced at Wang Luodan with a look of regret, "You are Zhang Chen's senior sister after all. Why don't you try Chenguang Entertainment?"

"At that time, I didn't know that Chenguang Entertainment had such a huge influence in this circle."

"You really are."

Ruoruo looked at her best friend speechlessly.

Zhang Chen has been in the entertainment industry for many years. If she were in his shoes, even if she didn't know the financial strength of Chenguang Entertainment, she would still go to Chenguang Entertainment just for Zhang Chen, the international superstar.

Is this something to consider?
Even if Zhang Chen brings more newcomers to events, the exposure that brings is not as good as the resources that some small film and television companies can strive to obtain for their own stars.

What's more, as early as last year, the Morning Glory Group spent billions to build a group building on the second ring road of the capital. Even a blind person can see that in the future, with Zhang Chen's support, the Morning Glory Group will be able to call the shots in this small piece of land in the mainland.

"I was still in school at the time, and I didn't know much about the circle. Besides, Hairun approached me with a drama offer, and I was reluctant to give up the opportunity to act in a TV series."

"Ugh!"

Ruoruo sighed and said nothing more.

She could more or less understand Wang Luodan's feelings at the moment.

In fact, if you really think about it, even if Wang Luodan knew that the treatment at Chenguang Entertainment was so good and gave up the olive branch from Hairun, she might not have been able to successfully sign a contract with Chenguang Entertainment.

At present, among the three major performing arts academies in China, almost every graduating class chooses Morning Glory Entertainment as their first choice.

There are too many options in Morning Light Entertainment.

Beijing Film Academy alone has dozens of new graduates every year.

Wang Luodan is just an insignificant one among them.

It is a difficult task to choose between the uncertain future wealth and glory and the TV drama offer that is right in front of you.

"So, you want to ask Zhang Chen for a play this time?"

"Um"

"Hey!" Ruoruo stepped on the brakes again, "You don't think that if you follow Zhang Chen's convoy and stop him, you can get him to give you a play contract, right?"

"I..." Wang Luodan opened his mouth, speechless. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and murmured, "I just don't want to give up this only chance."

"Don't you usually have a chance?"

"Normally his schedule is kept secret. No one can see him without an appointment. In other words, if you don't have a certain status, you are not qualified to see him at all."

"I really admire you!" Ruoruo shifted the gear heavily, gritted her teeth and continued to follow the convoy in front of her that passed the traffic light and headed towards the suburbs. "If I go to the police station because of you, don't get together with my boyfriend!"

Wang Luodan rolled her eyes. Her best friend could really be out of line sometimes.

Even at this time, I was still thinking about these things: "Hurry up, I think they are about to stop."

"Why did they stop here?"

Ruoruo also stopped from a distance following the convoy.

The surroundings were barren, with only a tall mountain standing in the distance.

"Will they find us?" Ruoruo suddenly thought of something, "This is a good place to bury someone."
