The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 307: No time to explain, follow me!
[According to the latest news, Chenguang Entertainment will start recording "Chenguang Beyond Class" shortly after the Chinese New Year. The program will allow students to participate in all the roles in filming TV series and have the opportunity to be released as feature films. ]

[“Morning Light Beyond Class” is a program that gives you the opportunity to star in the “Harry Potter” series of movies. Are you ready if you have dreams? ]

[After "The Voice" and "Singer", Chenguang Entertainment has another big move. This time, "Chenguang Beyond Class" is bound to become a program that attracts worldwide attention. 】

As soon as the news was released that day, it quickly topped the hot lists of Weibo and Facebook. Even the voices that had been making headlines in the country about "conquering" Zhang Yimou were overshadowed by this news.

"Director Zhang, let me tell you." Zhang Chen entertained Zhang Yimou, who came alone, at his home. "What you said is just a small matter."

"Thank you anyway."

Zhang Yimou took the hot tea handed to him by Zhang Chen, and he felt much more relaxed all over.

Some time ago, he was severely criticized by many of his colleagues in the circle.

First of all, his performance at the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics was criticized by many people in China.

Afterwards, many "experts" rushed to criticize Zhang Yimou, and finally listed six major charges against him, making the crowd who did not know the truth feel that Zhang Yimou's "crime was unforgivable."

The charges they made up included: being too formalistic; lacking in humanistic care; chasing after fame and fortune; trying to please Western audiences; having an outdated historical perspective; and raising the threshold for film distribution to be detrimental to the development of domestic films.

"Actually, you don't need to thank me. Director Zhang's House of Flying Daggers was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and later won the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars. This is the best response to these people."

"Don't laugh at me. It's good enough to be nominated for a Golden Globe. An Oscar is too difficult."

Ever since "Hero" failed to win the Oscar, Zhang Yimou has become deeply obsessed with whether his commercial films can win this award.

For this director who used to be treated as a guest of honor at the three major European film festivals and won numerous awards as long as he made art films, now that he has transformed and started making commercial films, he must prove himself by winning the Oscars, which are relatively friendly to commercial films in the world.

"Hero" originally had a good chance, but unfortunately it failed to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

This was intolerable to Zhang Yimou, so from then on every one of his films would strive for an Oscar.

It is precisely because of this action of his that many movie fans who are unaware of the truth feel that the Oscars are more powerful than the three major European awards.

In fact, this statement is both right and wrong.

It is right because many of the Oscar-winning films are global hits, and the vast majority of the films participating in the Oscars are Hollywood films, and Hollywood films have absolute dominance in the world.

So judging purely from the commercial point of view, Oscar-winning films generally have high box office sales, and a high box office sales means that they are loved by the audience.

The reason why it is wrong is that the Oscars is, after all, a North American regional film award, which is equivalent to China's Golden Rooster Awards.

In terms of the artistry of films, there is indeed no international film festival that is as professional as the three major European film festivals. Although there are commercial activities, the quality of a film is mainly judged from multiple dimensions.

"It's indeed difficult, but Director Zhang can come and try to shoot our company's film. Maybe he'll have a chance to win an Oscar."

"Do you have an explanation?"

"It's not that there is a saying, it's just that the Oscars have a strong commercial atmosphere." Zhang Chen knew that Zhang Yimou knew about this matter when he saw that his expression didn't change much, so he added, "Whether it's the movie itself or the awards, it's all the same."

“Is evaluation also a commercial operation?”

"Correct!"

“When Hero was released in North America, we did some commercial activities, but the effect didn’t seem to be very good.”

"You have to spend money. The Oscars are just like that. Unless there are special circumstances and you are willing to spend money, you can get an award even for a bad movie."

"This"

Zhang Yimou was speechless. According to Zhang Chen, all his efforts to submit several movies to the Oscars were in vain. Was it because he didn't pay?

Isn't the word Oscar a little too explicit in Zhang Chen's words?
"Has your boss told you about this expenditure?"

"It seems... not." Zhang Yimou hesitated for a moment.

"How could he be willing to spend so much money on you? I guess the dividends from the movie 'Hero' haven't even reached you yet?"

"Isn't the payment due yet?"

"You really believe everything he says. Take my Morning Light Cinema Line for example. The debt was already paid last year, and the money should have reached the production company by now."

"." Zhang Yimou was silent, and he thought of Zhang Chen's suggestion again.

"Okay, it's getting late. Director Zhang, if you have any more questions, feel free to come and see me."

Zhang Chen looked up at the time and found that it was already ten o'clock in the evening. There was nothing to talk about if he continued.

As for Zhang Yimou, we can only simmer him slowly and take him out when he is cooked to the right temperature.

I believe this time will not be long.

It seems that "Three Guns" will be born soon.

"Come out?"

Two people were squatting on a building a hundred meters outside Zhang's house, one of them was eating a midnight snack on the small coffee table in the room.

Another person in the room had a camera with a high-power lens on a tripod in front of him.

At this moment, the person in front of the camera is staring at the lens closely and dares not move, for fear of missing any important moment.

"So are the celebrity addresses on Tieba reliable?"

"I don't know. After all, it was only released not long ago. I'm afraid that more reporters will come here."

"That shouldn't be the case. Zhang Chen's private life is just like that. It seems there is no scandal to film."

"Then you don't understand. Many celebrities may look glamorous on the surface, but you never know what they have done behind the scenes."

"But this is Zhang Chen's home. Let's not talk about whether there is any news to dig up. Even if we do, we have no place to publish it."

"Tieba, look at this celebrity family map, it's been so long and no one has deleted it."

"Hey, don't you think Baidu is afraid of offending people?"

"You don't understand this, don't you? Those fans are waiting for more news like this." The reporter standing in front of the camera suddenly pointed out the window and said to his companion, "Look, it's here, isn't it?"

"What's coming?" The reporter who was originally eating also walked to the camera curiously.

"Is this a big deal?"

"Tomorrow, there will be something exciting to watch, so hurry up and take some photos!"

"Boss, there are suddenly a lot of people outside!"

After seeing Zhang Yimou off, Zhang Chen originally planned to take a shower and go to bed, but the aunt at home suddenly came in hurriedly, looking very panicked.

"Huh?" Zhang Chen was stunned. "Where?"

"It's just outside the house!"

"what happened?"

"I don't know either. Director Zhang was almost surrounded just now."

"Who are they?" Zhang Chen wanted to go out and take a look, but stopped when he heard this.

Even Zhang Yimou was almost surrounded, and if he went out, he might not be able to get out.

“It seems like they are all your fans, boss.”

Zhang Chen frowned, not understanding what was going on.

He has considered the issue of privacy from the beginning, and basically pays attention to this aspect when traveling. Even the media is not particularly clear about his home address.

When Spoon Channel's exclusive interview program wanted to come to his home for an interview, he refused.

It can be said that in the capital, those who know his home address are basically well-known figures, or people Zhang Chen is familiar with, so there is basically no possibility of leakage.

This is a difficult matter.

Once your home address is leaked, there will be endless troubles.

Whether it is fans or the media, they would come to his house from time to time to wait.

What he fears most now are some extreme fans, who are the most terrifying group of people.

He was upset, but it didn't disrupt his thinking: "Auntie Wang, go get someone to prepare the car, and we'll move out today."

It’s hard to say what will happen in the future, but I definitely can’t stay here tonight.

His house is big, and no matter how strong the security force is, it is impossible for there to be someone watching every inch of the wall at all times.

If one or two people break in and lose some things, it's a small matter; but if something unpleasant happens, it's a big deal.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen quickly came to Liu Yifei's door.

After slapping his face hard and calming down his emotions, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock!
If you want to wake up a sleepy person, you will definitely not be able to do so without some extraordinary means.

so.
"Xixi, pack up your belongings quickly, something has happened and we have to run away!"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he put his ear to Liu Yifei's door and listened carefully to the movements inside.

About ten seconds later, I heard a ping-pong sound from inside.

Just one minute later, the door was opened.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Liu Yifei, who had obviously just woken up and had messy hair, looked outside the door in panic.

The clothes he was wearing must have been just put on, and they looked a little wrinkled.

"There's no time to explain. Come with me!" Without waiting for Liu Yifei to continue asking, Zhang Chen carried Liu Yifei and started running out.

This looked just like bandits kidnapping the wife of a bandit leader in the mountains.

"You haven't told me what happened yet?!" Liu Yifei's stomach hurt from being shaken, and her voice was intermittent as Zhang Chen ran.

"Someone's knocking on the door!"

"Who?"

"enemy!"

"what?!"

Liu Yifei's head was now behind Zhang Chen, face down, so Zhang Chen couldn't see the girl's expression at this time. But judging from the girl's voice, she must be confused at the moment.

The two of them asked and answered each other - they had already arrived at the garage. Zhang Chen pushed Liu Yifei into the car and said, "Don't move here. I'm going to get you some oranges. No, I'm going to get you something."

Almost addicted to playing with memes, Zhang Chen gave an order in a serious manner, left Liu Yifei, who was not sure whether she was awake or not, and went back into the house.

I left in a hurry just now and there are still many important things I haven't taken.

After Zhang Chen left Liu Yifei's sight, his pace slowed down.

I just wanted to scare the little girl. The real situation is not that urgent.

Although there are many fans outside, sufficient security forces have been arranged in the most core location of the house.

In this situation, if there is still someone who can break in, Zhang Chen thinks that this person is also a talent. If he is sent to a relevant institution for proper training, he can be arranged to go to the desert to make money.

He first returned to his room and did not take any clothes. He only took a model from the bedside table and a piggy bank from the bookshelf, as well as some work computers and notebooks.

The former is not expensive but important, while the latter is not important but expensive.

Then he came to Liu Yifei's room.

After coming in, Zhang Chen sneezed at the first hint of a strong fragrance.

"What smells so good?"

Zhang Chen rubbed his nose speechlessly and began to look for valuables.

But after looking around, he only found a laptop, and he didn't know what was the most important thing to the little girl.

Zhang Chen had no choice but to call Liu Yifei: "Xixi, I'm in your room now, do you have anything important to take away?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds: "I have a cassette under my pillow, and some more."

"Anything else?" Zhang Chen came to the head of the bed and lifted the quilt.

Everywhere you look, you can see red, pink, black, white and floral flowers.

Then he covered it again.

This must have been thrown on the bed when I was hurriedly selecting clothes just now. I had no time to clean it up and had to cover it with a quilt.

He then lifted up the pillow at the head of the bed and found the tape Liu Yifei mentioned inside - "Youth"

"There's one more thing." Zhang Chen was holding the tape in a daze. Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "There's a box under my bed. Can you help me take it with you?"

"Box?" Zhang Chen's curiosity was instantly aroused.

"You're not allowed to look!"

"Okay, okay, I won't look at it!"

Although he said he didn't want to look at it, Zhang Chen directly opened a paint-chip iron box that he had just taken out from under the bed.

Inside, it was filled with posters and photos.

"Were you peeking?"

"No, I'm walking back." Zhang Chen took the top photo, which was a photo of him when he graduated from elementary school.

The next photo is Liu Yifei’s elementary school graduation photo, with Zhang Chen next to her.

The third photo is Zhang Chen’s acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards.

The fourth one.
The fifth one.
Every photo brings Zhang Chen back to the past.

Memories are like a clockwork machine, starting to turn involuntarily.

It turns out that they have been through so many things together?

Zhang Chen put the photo aside in silence and looked at the bottom of the box.

"This girl"

Looking at the items at the bottom of the box, he chuckled, closed the box, picked up all his "treasured items" and walked out of the room.
