The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 219 The mentor lineup is revealed one by one
"This person is a senior that many of us singers have to respect."

The princess also followed Liu Huan's example and only said some ambiguous introductions before sitting down on the sofa on the stage, leaving behind a group of curious fans scratching their heads and some stars watching from a distance.

"Who do you think it could be?"

The entrance to the park is only 30 meters away from the press conference site, so the view here is quite wide and you can see and hear the press conference over there.

Not only the fans are curious about this matter, but the stars are also curious about it.

"I need to ask Bingbing, you are from Chenguang, do you know who the mentors of the two countries are?"

Fan Bingbing, who had already finished filming "Cell Phone", was staying with the crew at this time. It was Zhang Guoli who asked him the question just now.

Next to Zhang Guoli are the film's director Xiao Gangpao, Ge Daye, Xu Fan, Zhang Lu and others.

"This matter has almost become top secret in the company. Apart from the boss, Mr. Li, and the core members of the program team, I guess few people know about it."

"Hey, Zhang Chen is really good at hiding."

Feng Xiaogang smiled and thought that this young man who had just entered the film and television industry was very interesting as he had made such a grand scene for a show.

Just the cost of today's scene alone can support the shooting of a low-budget movie.

He also didn't know how Zhang Chen was so good at making money.

He just donated 16 billion last year, and this year he quietly set up the group headquarters, spending a full 35 billion. If he were given this money, he wouldn't dare to think about how many movies he could make.

"Director Feng, I advise you not to call him like that in front of my boss. My boss sometimes has a bad temper."

Fan Bingbing looked at Feng Xiaogang with some embarrassment.

The title of "kid" does not mean that Zhang Chen is regarded as the boss. If the two were familiar friends, the age difference between them would allow Feng Xiaogang to call Zhang Chen like this.

However, the only connection between the two is the actress Fan Bingbing, and she is just a contracted artist of Chenguang Entertainment, so Zhang Chen and Feng Xiaogang are currently not related at all.

And when Fan Bingbing heard others calling his boss like that in front of him, he felt disrespected.

"He has a bad temper, so I can have a good temper?"

He could give in to Zhang Chen, but he couldn't give in in front of these actors.

If this gets out, how can he still survive in this circle?

"Xiao Gang, shut up now. Don't act like a big shot here. When Zhang Chen comes over later, I'll see if you dare to say this."

Uncle Ge doesn't tolerate his old partner and directly exposes his past.

Even if Feng Xiaogang had a hundred or ten thousand courages, he would not dare to jump up and down in front of Zhang Chen.

Everyone in the circle knows that Chenguang Cinemas controls more than 20% of the screens in the country. If you offend Zhang Chen, your screening schedule will be cut. Let's see if you will cry then.

If they do something ruthless, they will directly leak your copy, and then your movie will be completely destroyed.

As for following the rules?
People like them can only hope that Zhang Chen will abide by the rules, rather than forcing him to abide by the rules. The power of life and death of a movie is completely in the hands of Zhang Chen. How can you be tough in front of him?
"Besides, there are quite a few international friends here today. Don't do anything weird here. If you make a fool of yourself, not only will Zhang Chen punish you, but you should also think carefully about who is here today."

Finally, Uncle Ge pointed to the sky and told Feng Xiaogang to be more restrained today and to consider the occasion even if he wanted to go crazy.

Many officials came today, and some people who could only be seen on TV were sitting in the private rooms in the park. People of Han Sanping's level, and even his leaders, couldn't get a seat.

As for the reason, it is naturally international cultural exchange. This is a major matter that is personally monitored by the superiors, and no one dares to neglect it.

"Okay, just watch quietly and don't talk about those trivial things."

After Xu Fan spoke, Feng Xiaogang shut up in dismay.

In just a few words, the third mentor was revealed.

"Luo Dayou!"

From this point on, the audience was completely aroused by the way the mentors were gradually revealed on site.

The moment Luo Dayou appeared, the cheers from the audience became louder and louder.

As for Luo Dayou’s status in the hearts of mainland fans?
Even though he is a little unknown now, he can feel the enthusiasm from the cheers of the people at the scene.

"Teacher Luo Dayou, how do you feel about coming to the mainland this time?"

“I can fully feel the enthusiasm of the audience, which makes me full of confidence in our show.”

Luo Dayou, who debuted in the 70s and is a godfather of Taiwanese pop music, is accustomed to big scenes, but it was the first time for him to feel such enthusiasm from the audience at a press conference for a program.

Moreover, the talents Zhang Chen invites are the key.

It was hard for him to imagine how Zhang Chen brought these people together.

"Then can you reveal the last of our Chinese mentor lineup?"

"He's about the same age as me, and debuted at about the same time as me. Can you guess who he is?"

He originally wanted to say that this person was much more famous than himself, but considering that it was a bit derogatory to himself, he omitted this introduction.

But the people at the scene have already used these conditions to start guessing who the next mentor will be.

Luo Dayou was born in 1954 and made his debut around 1976.

If we calculate based on this time.
George Lam is ruled out because he was born in 47, nearly ten years younger.

The reason is similar for Teresa Teng, she was born in the 1940s.

After considering all of this circle, there are only a few people left who meet the criteria and are also famous: Alan Tam, Cheung Kwok-wing and others.

"Okay, I won't keep you guys in suspense anymore, get ready for your screams, let us invite our brother, Zhang Guorong!!!"

After Teacher He finished speaking, the scene was eerily quiet for two seconds.

Then, screams that resounded through the sky filled the entire venue.

Even those who were in the private rooms far away could clearly hear the crazy screams of the fans here.

Who is Zhang Guorong?
He is the idol in the hearts of countless movie and music fans in mainland China, and also the most famous superstar in Asia. He has a considerable influence even in Europe and the United States.

Even the world pop queen Madonna wrote a personal letter to express her love for him. So when they learned that the last mentor was him, everyone at the scene went crazy.

When the door of the last car slowly opened, Zhang Guorong, dressed in a bright suit, appeared in everyone's sight.

The big-name media who were able to enter the cordon no longer waited for the mentor to come near them before taking pictures as before. Instead, they rushed up and surrounded Zhang Guorong the moment he stepped onto the red carpet.

Flash lights were flashing continuously, microphones were passed around in a pile, and questions were asked at a variety of levels. They couldn't wait for the press interview session and wanted to get first-hand information right now.

Zhang Guorong did not forget the program team's request and did not answer any questions from the media at this time. The more he did this, the more the media at the scene wanted to ask.

Just like that, it took a full twenty minutes to walk along a 100-meter-long red carpet road.

Fortunately, Zhang Guorong's resume is rich enough to allow Teacher He to continue to introduce this superstar to everyone during this period.

"Brother, is there any reason why you came to The Voice this time?"

Teacher He's nickname is also the voice of all the fans present.

"In fact, my health wasn't very good some time ago, so Zhang Chen invited me to come to the mainland to relax. I also think it's a great thing to witness the growth of the younger generation of singers."

His Mandarin with a slight Hong Kong accent instantly brought him closer to the fans at the scene. With this charming voice, he definitely belongs to their brother.

"You don't know, when I knew you were coming, I wanted to tell Zhang Chen that I would not charge the hosting fee just to see you."

As a host, he was supposed to remain calm, but Mr. He was completely distracted by his own emotions and said something that would likely displease the other mentors.

But the others just smiled after hearing it and didn't care.

They could understand why he would have such a reaction in front of Zhang Guorong.

"Haha, no need, no need. You can see me anytime you want."

"Then brother, can you help me reveal the first mentor of The Voice of America?"

Ten sofas were placed on the stage today, and the fans at the scene also wanted to know who would sit on these ten sofas.

Judging from the current lineup of Chinese mentors, it already includes the most capable people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

But if the European and American music scene also follows this standard.
No one at the scene dared to think further.

"No. 1. You may not have listened to many of his songs, but you must have seen many of his movies. He is also one of the best rappers in the country."

Zhang Guorong was not very familiar with this person, but in line with the principle of keeping the suspense to the end, he also followed Teacher He's example and kept the story in suspense.

"Everyone, let us welcome our international friends, Agent J in Men in Black, Robert in Public Enemies, the star of Ali, and multiple Grammy Award winner - Will Smith!"

Teacher He was afraid that the audience didn't know Will Smith, so he introduced a lot of his works.

Whenever Teacher He mentioned a work, many people at the scene could remember who this person was.

After several movies that are famous all over the world were introduced, many people remembered who the first mentor of the United States was.

"Will! Will!"

Nowadays, there are not many opportunities for China to see international stars, let alone movie stars like Will Smith who often appear in Hollywood blockbusters.

Red carpet shot, in a group of motorcades that had already been replaced, one of the doors opened and Will Smith appeared in front of everyone.

Among the media reporters at the scene, the European and American reporters were the most active, and they came forward and began to ask him why he came here.

"Everyone, now that the time has come, let's answer your questions together."

Leaving behind the reporters who were chasing him, he walked quickly onto the stage dressed in rock and hip-hop clothes.

"Mr. Smith, please say hello to our Chinese audience friends?"

With the help of on-site simultaneous translation, Will Smith understood what Teacher He meant.

He said in his recently learned, somewhat broken Chinese: "Xie Xie Ni Meng, da Jia Hao~"

Although the speech was not very standard, the full sincerity made the audience scream even more enthusiastically.

"Mr. Smith, can I ask why you came to participate in this program?"

There needed to be a simultaneous interpreter between the two of them, so the pace of the interview was a bit slow. Teacher He planned to ask some key questions and then let him go.

"Leon said that if I didn't come, my house would be demolished. In order to keep the house I just bought not long ago, I had no choice but to come."

After the translator finished expressing his thoughts to the audience, there was a good-natured laugh. They did not expect that international stars could be so funny. This refreshed their stereotypes about Hollywood stars.

It also makes Will Smith, who looks rather serious in the movie, more vivid in real life.

“Haha, it seems that you and Leon have a very good relationship.”

"Of course. It was our first time attending the Grammy Awards. Coincidentally, we sat next to each other. It's been six years in the blink of an eye."

When Will Smith talked about this, his expression was filled with nostalgia.

Six years ago he was still a young boy, but now his fame in the music industry has far surpassed his. Fortunately, he can regain some confidence in the film industry, otherwise he would have to doubt whether the genius in the eyes of others is real.

"Okay, the first mentor of the Voice of America has appeared. The second mentor is also a very familiar friend to everyone. You must have heard a song she sang a few years ago."

The answer needs to be revealed step by step, so that there is a sense of anticipation and involvement.

After listening to Mr. He's introduction, they began to recall the foreign movies they had watched in recent years. Which song left the deepest impression on them?
"Yes, she is Celine Dion, the singer of "My Heart Will Go On", the theme song of "Titanic"!"

After Teacher He’s introduction, a “mentor’s masterpiece” that was even more impressive than the previous one started playing.

This song is truly a classic. It can be said that everyone at the scene, from middle-aged people in their forties and fifties to children who have just entered elementary school, has heard this song.

They felt a little regretful because Jack and Rousi didn't come today, otherwise the cheers from the scene would have been several orders of magnitude higher.

Celine Dion, who has disappeared from the music scene for three years, walked the red carpet with the unique elegance of a British woman.

　I wanted to finish a big chapter, but ended up breaking it. I’ll put the remaining two people in the next chapter. One of them, Madonna, has already been revealed, but the key is the last one. Guess who it is?
