Chapter 159 Ask Your Boss to Come See Me

"Before I answer your question, I need to know which media outlet you are a journalist for?"

When Zhang Chen heard the reporter's question, he instantly became interested. He wanted to see which media outlet was so stubborn as to dare to say to his face that he was worshipping foreigners.

“Sina.”

"Call Wang Yan and tell him I'm waiting for him here. If you don't have his phone number, you can ask for it. As for the answer to your question, you can look at the expressions of the people around you."

At this point, the other reporters hadn’t reacted yet and still had an expression of “Brother, are you crazy?”

Zhang Chen was too lazy to argue with the young reporter. If he won, he would lose face; if he lost, he would lose even more face.

"Anyone else want to ask?"

The other reporters also came to their senses at this time. Some of them wanted to raise their hands, but they were afraid that Zhang Chen would directly say "Call your boss", and they would lose their jobs.

Among the many confused reporters, a hand was raised tremblingly.

"Um, Zhang Chen, what do you think about F4 winning the 'Most Popular Newcomer Award' in yesterday's 'Chinese Music Chart'?"

"F4?"

"right"

"I didn't pay attention, I don't know him, next one."

Zhang Chen had been isolated from the world in Wudang Mountain for a month, and Xue Yining would not disturb him unless there was something important, so he really didn't know about such a small matter.

As for F4, of course he knew about it, but people around him thought he probably didn't know, so it's better for him not to know.

"Zhang Chen, how much do you think Harry Potter can earn in mainland China?"

"Finally we've asked about movies. I'll leave this question to Chris."

Zhang Chen held this premiere not for reporters to ask questions related to him, but now that he has finally gotten to the topic related to the movie, he naturally has to hand it over to the crew.

"I heard that Titanic earned 3.6 million yuan in China a few years ago. I hope Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone can also achieve the same result."

Chris's answer was translated by Zhang Chen and reached the ears of every guest present.

After hearing this answer, many people at the scene began to whisper.

You should know that there are only a handful of mainland Chinese movies that have grossed over 100 million yuan, and they are all Hollywood movies.

"I still want to ask Zhang Chen."

Another reporter asked a question, and the topic turned to Zhang Chen.

"I noticed that you guys really like to ask me questions, but today it's best to ask about movies."

"I really want to know what Zhang Chen's purpose is in hosting this premiere." After saying this, the reporter was afraid of following in the footsteps of the previous reporter, so he quickly added, "Of course I know Zhang Chen, you are definitely doing this for our own good, but can you elaborate on it?"

“Do you know what movies I saw in Europe?”

Zhang Chen did not directly answer the reporter's question.

"There are excellent films such as Qiu Ju Goes to Court, To Live, Sunny Days, and Farewell My Concubine."

Every time Zhang Chen finished talking about a movie, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others who were sitting down would smile more. This was their honor.

"but."

"Many of these movies reflect our previous living conditions, so much so that Westerners' impression of us now remains in the images in these movies."

"I don't deny the excellence of these films, but since we have joined the WTO this year, we should let the world see a more comprehensive China. We should have excellent and meaningful art films, as well as commercial blockbusters with great visual appeal!"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Yimou.

"I believe Director Zhang has already had a conversation with Lorenzo. I hope Director Zhang can shoot more exciting works for us after today."

This was his purpose, and he was not afraid of everyone present knowing it.

And looking at Zhang Yimou's expression, which showed "as expected", you can tell that Zhang Yimou has already guessed Zhang Chen's thoughts.

"Okay, let's watch a movie."

Zhang Chen naturally lost interest in watching the movie. After all, he had already seen it once. Although it was okay to watch it again, it would always lack the freshness of the first time.

But halfway through, Xue Yining told him that Wang Yan was here.

After saying hello to the people around him, he left the venue amid everyone's thoughtful expressions.

"Is Wang Yan really here?" Wang Zhonglei asked his brother Wang Zhongjun in a low voice.

"How would I know that person's movements?" Wang Zhongjun glared at his brother unhappily.

Since its establishment, Huayi Brothers has been doing well in this circle, despite the care of some brothers and sisters in the compound.

However, compared with Chenguang Entertainment, Huayi cannot compare with Chenguang Entertainment in terms of financial resources or human resources. Chenguang Entertainment has Zhang Chen, the money-making beast, and Wang Jinghua, the top agent in the domestic entertainment industry.

Perhaps the only thing that makes them superior to Morning Glory Entertainment is that they have the commercial director Feng Xiaogang.

In the past two years, Da Wang and Xiao Wang have also thought about expansion.

However, in the process of expansion, it always encountered direct competition from Chenguang Entertainment, so much so that Wang Zhonglei even had the idea of doing something wrong.

But under the dissuasion of his elders, Wang Zhonglei had to give up this idea.

"How did Zhang Chen get involved with the Internet again?"

"No matter who he is involved with, just watch the movie. Later, let Xiaogang learn from Hollywood and make a big movie that makes money." "Zhang Chen, I heard about it, but it was definitely not my idea."

In the small reception room next to the premiere, Wang Yan hurried over and started explaining to Zhang Chen before he even sat down.

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Wang. Sit down and talk slowly."

Wang Yan was relieved when he saw that Zhang Chen's tone did not seem like he was going to charge him with an offence.

As a powerful Internet company, Wang Yan was successfully listed in the United States. Logically speaking, it was no less powerful than anyone in China.

But Zhang Chen in front of him is an exception.

Not to mention Zhang Chen's terrifying influence as a big star, the $2 million donation alone is enough to allow Zhang Chen to basically walk sideways in the country.

In addition, he also heard that Zhang Chen was about to enter the Internet industry and had huge cash flow, so it was best not to offend him.

"I asked President Wang to come here specially. I want to apologize to you first."

"No, no, even if it's not today, I will visit you later and explain everything clearly."

"Boss Wang, besides the call from my assistant, did you receive any calls from anyone else?"

"No, didn't Assistant Xue ask me to come?"

Wang Yan was very confused. After receiving a call from Xue Yining, he heard that his employees had slandered Zhang Chen in public and asked him to come over to deal with the matter. He came here in a hurry to deal with the matter.

Because it was Xue Yining's call, he didn't know who the employee was or whether he was still at the scene, so he could only find Zhang Chen as soon as possible to find out the cause and effect of the matter.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Chen asked a question he had not thought of.

"Mr. Wang, this reporter asked me if holding a foreign film premiere with such fanfare might be seen as a form of worshipping foreign things."

"Nonsense! Which bastard dares to say such a thing! I'll fire him when I get home!"

After hearing this, Wang Yan really wanted to rush to that ungrateful guy immediately.

Zhang Chen worships foreign things? He doesn't even open his eyes to see how many honors Zhang Chen has won for China since his debut. What's more, some leaders of small countries were very happy after receiving Zhang Chen's autographed records presented by Chinese envoys.

How much face is this?

Wang Yan really didn't expect that he would have such an ungrateful employee under him.

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Wang. Just listen to me."

Zhang Chen began to tell him about the scene at that time.

"You mean, there's something wrong with this guy?"

After listening to Zhang Chen's explanation, Wang Yan also reacted.

According to Zhang Chen, even if the reporter did not have his own contact information, he should have been informed of the news through his superiors before he arrived.

But the strange thing was that before he arrived here, he only received a call from Zhang Chen's assistant.

In other words, the reporter who got into trouble did not report such a big incident at all.

Although it is possible that they are afraid of being held accountable by their leaders.

But in such public view, with so many witnesses, anyone with a sound mind should know that this matter cannot be concealed.

Then according to normal logic, Wang Yan should have received a report from this reporter.

"I don't know if there is a problem, but I know that my cooperation with Sina has always been harmonious, and I also believe that this is not what you think, Mr. Wang."

"That's for sure. Zhang Chen has always taken good care of our reporters when he was abroad. How could we possibly do something like this to repay kindness with enmity?"

"So, this is what happened. I also felt that something was fishy, so I came to you, Mr. Wang, to talk it over. As for how to deal with this matter, it is not for an outsider like me to interfere."

"Don't worry, Zhang Chen. I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you an explanation."

When Wang Yan heard that Zhang Chen did not mean to blame him, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

If today's matter is not handled well.

That may have been the beginning of the dispute between Morning Glory Entertainment and Sina.com.

As for the outcome of the fight.
It was difficult for him to make a judgment since it hadn't happened yet, but he was extremely sure that Chen Guang would not lose.

Therefore, not making enemies with Zhang Chen was the most reassuring thing for him.

"Xiao Xue, where are the reporters?"

After Wang Yan left, Zhang Chen asked about the whereabouts of the instigator.

"Brother Wang sent someone to follow him."

"Well, we can't just rely on others. I also want to know who is so bold as to resort to such a trick."

"By the way, did the reporter really not come to you to ask for your phone number?"

"No, he left in a hurry. I thought he went back to report to his boss by phone."

"Forget about him. We should be able to get a result in a few days." Zhang Chen stood up. "Let's go. The movie should be over."

　I have something to do after 5pm today, I will try to finish today's update code before then. If I can't finish it, I will make up for it tomorrow.
