The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 176 "Selling Body Contract" and the Dilemma of Video Players
"If we lose our foundation, we will be cut off from the rest of the world. Who will believe that Baseball can compete fairly with other countries in the future?"

"Then she has no chance of making a comeback in the future?"

After hearing Zhang Chen's hint, Jiang Wen stopped playing guessing games.

Although the two were talking about the World Cup just now, they were actually talking about Liu Xiaoqing's tax evasion incident.

Jiang Wen wanted to let Liu Xiaoqing continue to be an actor after the matter was resolved, so that he could at least pay off the money he owed.

Zhang Chen felt that Liu Xiaoqing might not have an easy life in this life.

Because she had felt in advance what Fan Xiaopang felt like being overwhelmed by the surging crowd.

If there were no platform like Chenguang Entertainment that allows most domestic people to express their opinions, and if Chenguang Entertainment had not received official attention, then the handling of this matter might not have been different.

But when the opinions of the people are noticed by the authorities, they have to consider whether the people are satisfied after the matter is handled.

However, no relevant laws have been introduced so far, so perhaps she can start from scratch.

"I don't know if she can make a comeback, but I don't have much in common with her, so why should I help her?"

"If there's anything you need from me, just let me know!"

"I can lend you the money, but you have to figure things out on your own. Do you agree to that?"

Even if Zhang Chen did not intervene in Liu Xiaoqing's affairs, Jiang Wen would find a way to bail her out afterwards. However, Zhang Chen felt that Jiang Wen was just a good tool.

At least this guy is an outlier in the circle of Chinese-language film directors, and he has extremely high requirements for the quality of films.

It's just that this person is difficult to control and can easily cause trouble for investors.

"As long as she can pay back the money, she can be released on bail. That's enough. I don't ask for too much."

Jiang Wen also knew that with his own strength, he could only do this much.

Moreover, Liu Xiaoqing did commit a crime, and this is known throughout the country. It would be impossible to openly change the verdict.

"It just so happens that our company is looking for an actor to play the role of the Golden Lion King in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. I wonder if Director Jiang is willing to condescend to play a supporting role?"

The original Golden Lion King was played by a mainlander. Although his acting skills were good, his Mandarin was not good enough. However, Zhang Chen still insisted on not using an actor whose Mandarin was not good enough.

Although lip syncing mismatch is not a big deal in this era, classic TV series will surely be passed down for decades, and when people revisit them in the future, they will always feel something strange.

"Is this okay?"

"How about signing an acting contract for three more movies?"

Jiang Wen is currently in a ban period, so it is definitely not possible to let him direct a movie, but this guy has a hobby, which is to argue with the director. As an actor, he always wants to do the director's work as well.

When he participated in Zhang Yimou's first film "Red Sorghum", he and Zhang Yimou argued from beginning to end over issues such as character creation, and finally produced a blockbuster that shocked the world.

"Looking for the Gun", which was released in May this year, was also a collaboration with Lu Chuan, who was making a movie for the first time. As a result, the movie has been released for almost two months, and many people felt that it was simply Jiang Wen's movie after watching it.

Therefore, Jiang Wen, the "actor", has both good and bad uses. The bad side is that he likes to make comments and interfere with the director's creation. The good side also likes to make comments, which is a rare one-on-one practical guidance course for new directors.

What Chenguang Entertainment lacks most now is film directors, and good film directors at that.

If Jiang Wen joins, although he cannot direct directly, he can train new directors.

This is the scene that Zhang Chen is most happy to see.

"Three movies is fine. Does it seem like Zhang Chen wants to train new directors?"

Jiang Wen was very clear about his own personality. If Zhang Chen, such a rich man and a big star, wanted to find an actor, there was no need to put up such a show for him.

The only possible explanation is that Chenguang Entertainment wants to train its own directors.

If we say that Zhang Yimou is the director who is best at training actors.

Then Jiang Wen is the actor who is best at training directors.

"Morning Light Entertainment may release a movie this year. This condition won't take you too long."

"That's out of the question. Since I, Jiang Wen, have agreed, even if there is still a movie missing in ten years, I will still fulfill my contract!"

"Director Jiang is a straightforward person. I will transfer the money to your account within three days after you sign the contract."

"I will pay the money back as soon as possible."

It was just a loan, not a give. If Jiang Wen wasn't in a hurry for the money, there would be no need to sign three film contracts.

Among all the people he could think of in the country, the only one who could easily come up with 2000 million in cash without any embarrassment was Zhang Chen.

The bosses of other companies are rich, but after taking out so much cash at one time, the normal operation of the company will be affected.

This was the conclusion he came to after asking around for advice over the past two days.

He has no choice.

Zhang Chen also lent the money to Jiang Wen privately, not to help Liu Xiaoqing.

He was helping Jiang Wen, the director who was worried about his ex-lover, and it was also Jiang Wen who owed him a favor.

With this deal, Liu Xiaoqing would not owe Zhang Chen a favor, because this was a loan that Jiang Wen got in exchange for his three film contracts, and what he owed was a favor to Jiang Wen.

This is the result Zhang Chen needs. He has a rookie director mentor like Jiang Wen, and he has nothing to do with Liu Xiaoqing.

Three days later, Zhang Chen's money was in place, but Liu Xiaoqing was not released on bail as Jiang Wen wished.

Regarding this result, Zhang Chen could only comfort Jiang Wen and tell him to be more open-minded. Sometimes a typical example is needed, and it is not something that Jiang Wen can solve by using his connections. But at least Jiang Wen helped Liu Xiaoqing pay off the money he owed to the country early, which is the only good thing.

On June 6, the enthusiasm of this World Cup came to an end with Brazil defeating Germany.

This World Cup has left a significant mark in the history of the World Cup.

Created many firsts.

For example, the defending champion was eliminated in the first group stage.

The record for most goals scored in a single game.

This is the first time that it is hosted by two countries.

The Chinese team entered the World Cup for the first time.

The baseball team reached the semifinals for the first time.

At the same time, this World Cup also made fans in many countries very dissatisfied.

On the Morning Light Music message board, the largest gathering place for netizens in China, there are entries related to this World Cup pinned to the top:
"The Chinese team didn't score a single goal in the World Cup."

"Is it an honor or a shame to enter the World Cup historically?"

"Zhang Chen is the pride of the Chinese people in this World Cup!"

"Baseball is the most shameless team."

"The Baseball team was sent to the finals by a foul whistle."

After Chenguang Entertainment launched this hot search term and topic square function, netizens' desire to express their thoughts on the Internet has finally come true.

For so many years, they could only passively accept the information instilled in them by the news media.

With the rise of the Internet and the launch of Morning Light Music, they finally had a channel to express themselves.

But this also raises a problem, that is, a very small number of netizens will post some bad remarks.

Zhang Chen had already given Du Zhining a heads-up on this.

Once such an account is discovered, it will be permanently banned.

At the same time, some banned words are also set in the background.

He can allow netizens to express their opinions on the Internet, but Morning Light Music cannot become a place where netizens feel they can do whatever they want.

Chenguang Entertainment, Zhang Chen's office
"Xiao Xue, go tell Du Zhining to make a separate webpage for the hot search terms, topic plaza, and celebrity entry functions, and clearly separate the functions on both sides."

A music player is a music player, its primary function cannot be lost.

And "Weibo" is a platform where everyone can speak.

If you want to expand both functions, they can be together when users are needed in the early stage, but you must make business divisions in the later stage so that they do not interfere with each other and can develop their respective functions to the extreme.

"Boss, some government offices have contacted us. They want to register an official account on our software."

"Huh? You noticed it so quickly?"

"what?"

"Oh, this is something that will happen sooner or later. You should pay more attention to this information during this period. In the future, more organizations will certify an authoritative account. If you want to do this, you should do it formally."

I don’t know if this can be considered as stealing the nutrients for Weibo’s growth, and I don’t know what the future of the original Sina will be if Chenguang Entertainment develops Weibo.

However, once Chenguang Entertainment’s Weibo function is launched, other Internet companies will surely follow suit.

This is also a path that must be taken.

Only by fighting your way out among numerous competitors can you be the last one laughing.

This is the path that countless Internet companies must take to rise.

And this time it is not like Morning Glory Music, which has a natural copyright advantage and directly set up access control, preventing countless companies that want to get a piece of the pie from entering.

This time, all that remains is the first-mover advantage, as well as Zhang Chen’s vast network of contacts and strong financial resources.

But at least there are no legal barriers left for other companies, and it is hard to say who will win or lose.

"By the way, what's the situation with William's player now?"

He suddenly remembered that there was a player on the other side of the ocean, but there seemed to be no movement.

“It has been lukewarm. The download volume has indeed been increasing, but it is not as popular as Morning Light Music, which became popular all over the Internet in a short period of time.”

"Let William talk to Google and see if we can embed our player in Google's browser."

The most frequently used tool by netizens is undoubtedly the browser. As long as a company's player is embedded in the world's largest browser, the promotion of the player can be further improved.

"How about, boss, can you make another big news?"

Xue Yining felt that since there was the successful example of Morning Glory Entertainment in front of them, then CGT video player could just copy that example.

"You make it sound easy. There aren't so many big news for me to handle."

Really not?
Xue Yining didn't believe it. She had always been confident in her boss's ability to stir up trouble.
