The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 325: Whatever You Want, Olympic Director Selection Site
[The Oscars responded to Chris's inappropriate remarks by banning him from the Oscars ceremony for 10 years, and imposed a $10 fine on Leon for beating him.]

【CGT Player has joined forces with 28 film and television companies including Warner, Disney, and Columbia to launch an online paid viewing model. This model is different from the previous model that requires fans to rent DVDs offline. It allows fans to pay to watch movies online at a cost of only $8 per movie. For fans who have a habit of watching a lot of movies every month, CGT has also launched a monthly subscription service. On top of the original $9.99 per month, you only need to pay an additional $12 per month to watch movies that have just been released from the cinema.】

There is heated discussion about these two points on the Internet.

Especially on CGT Player, a video was specially released to introduce the whole process of the Oscar incident.

This video was also provided by ABC Radio and Television.

After all, he was also one of the participants in Zhang Chen's paid film and television drama project.

The comment section of this video is already filled with netizens who have been curious about this matter for a long time.

"I've watched the video on CGT Player. Chris's comments were too much."

"I watched the live broadcast at the time and I felt that the slap from Leon was not wrong."

"Leon is so rude. I didn't expect him to be such a violent person."

"Violence? If someone insults my people, I will be more violent than him."

"I think what Chris said is right. Don't people in his country have to go out to work and earn money to support their families when they are young?"

“Reject any form of discrimination!”

"You are concerned about whether Leon was right or wrong in beating that outspoken person. I am concerned about this player. Do we no longer have to rent DVDs to watch in the future?"

"I just flipped through the resource library in the player, and it actually has all the movies, TV series, variety shows, interviews, and news I could ever want. I was stunned. I no longer have to worry about missing my favorite TV series because of work!"

"Leon, that's a good slap. If it weren't for that slap, Leon wouldn't have been so angry that he would directly say that he wanted to put all the movies into this player!"

"We have to thank Chris. If he hadn't angered Leon, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits of this player."

Zhang Chen indeed spent a lot of water army to post comments.

In fact, in the United States, many people expressed dissatisfaction with his beating of people. They believed that he, a Chinese, hit someone from their country in such a live broadcast program, which was tantamount to a slap in their face.

Some arrogant beautiful Chinese people wanted Zhang Chen to apologize.

However, while these arrogant American people were indignant, the invisible people behind them who influenced them completed an exchange of interests with Zhang Chen. The speech of these people was also controlled within a certain range, and they began to consciously promote the spread of CGT in the United States.

In just one week, the number of global members of the player rapidly expanded from 1500 million to 3000 million.

Among them, there are about 2400 million ordinary members, who pay a monthly membership fee of US$9.99.

The premium membership has 600 million people who pay a monthly membership fee of $21.99.

These two items alone bring CGT players' monthly revenue to $3.7 million.

If we take into account the $8 per movie fee paid by ordinary members, CGT Player's monthly turnover exceeded $4 million.

50% of this will be directly allocated to major production companies. After deducting a series of costs such as labor and server maintenance, the company's profit will account for about 50% of its turnover.
In other words, this player will bring Zhang Chen more than 8000 million US dollars in net profit every month, and the annual profit is expected to be about 10 billion US dollars.

If the company can maintain an annual growth rate of 30%, then the company can be valued at 8-10 times its annual net profit.

In other words, the current valuation of CGT Player has reached about US$100 billion for financing and listing.

With this slap and $10, Zhang Chen got a company worth over $100 billion. This deal was quite a bargain.

Except abroad, netizens have mixed opinions on Zhang Chen's behavior, but the situation is much simpler in China.

Since Baidu has not been unblocked yet, domestic netizens can only search through Google powered by Firefox, and the results of the searches are all very positive comments about Zhang Chen.

On Weibo, netizens were cheering.

"Zhang Chen's slap really made me feel relieved. If it were me, I would definitely slap this black guy several times."

"Zhang Chen is different from other stars. Others try to curry favor with people from other countries when they go out, but Zhang Chen is the only one who brings us face when he comes back from abroad."

"If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Ziyi didn't follow Zhang Chen and the others?"

"A few days ago, the Oscars issued an announcement, and Zhang Ziyi forwarded the announcement, saying that she had been honored to become one of the judges of the Oscars."

"It's disgusting that people don't stand with their compatriots."

"Anyway, I won't watch any more movies she stars in from now on."

"Jin Chengwu has already followed Zhang Chen at this time. Since Zhang Ziyi is staying at the scene with a licking face, she doesn't really think that the people of the United States will respect her behavior of abandoning her companions and licking them, right?"

"It has been proven that only people like Zhang Chen and Cheng Long who are neither humble nor overbearing in front of them will be respected by them."

"I guess Zhang Ziyi must be regretting it now. She didn't expect that Zhang Chen would not only be safe and sound after slapping someone, but also sign a strategic cooperation agreement with these film and television companies, right?"

On Weibo, netizens expressed their approval of Zhang Chen's approach and felt relieved.

In contrast, Zhang Ziyi's behavior was boycotted by all Asians.

It can be said that if Zhang Ziyi fails to make a name for herself in the European and American markets, then her life will be over, because domestic movie fans have begun to boycott her spontaneously.

So sometimes a decision or a hesitation can really change a person's life.

One wrong step and the whole game is lost.

Zhang Ziyi, the actress who was expected to succeed Emperor Gong, destroyed her own base in China.

"Zhang Chen, you are very famous in China now. In the past, everyone thought you brought honor to us. After the Oscar incident, many young people have regarded you as an idol."

“Hasn’t anyone ever regarded me as an idol before?”

On the way to the Olympic selection meeting room, Zhang Chen and Tong Gang were chatting.

Since before the Chinese New Year, the entire country has been filled with Zhang Chen's troubles.

After eating melons for more than a month, I finally saw Zhang Chen do something that made me feel very relieved.

In the past, people from the mainland entertainment industry would feel inferior to those from foreign entertainment industries, even those from Hong Kong.

Zhang Chen, on the other hand, slapped someone in the face in public at the most prestigious awards ceremony in the American film industry, and nothing happened to him.

$10?
No one really thinks it's not worth the money.

Many people with a quick temper said that if they were given the chance, they would be willing to pay $100 million to slap that guy ten times.

Get it now!

"However, you have to pay attention to the influence of the two countries sometimes."

Tong Gang was halfway through his conversation when he suddenly stopped and reminded Zhang Chen.

"Ah."

Zhang Chen nodded to show that he understood.

He knew this without Tong Gang telling him.

What he is doing now will be elevated to a certain level by some people, which will make some people feel embarrassed.

Many of these people take good care of Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen doesn't want to cause them any unnecessary trouble.

"But in this matter, we still support you in doing this. Many times, we are not in a position to take any radical actions when faced with such matters. On the contrary, at your age, it is most appropriate."

Tong Gang suddenly laughed. He suddenly realized that Zhang Chen's young age also had its advantages.

Sometimes, a lot of problems can be evaded by saying that you are young and ignorant.

"By the way, what do you say about Baidu? Someone asked me to ask you, when was it released?"

"Ah?" Zhang Chen was stunned. "Everyone was arrested?"

"What are you thinking!" Tong Gang glanced at Zhang Chen unhappily, "I said let Guo Niang go."

"Oscar, a stranger, has apologized to me. He is considered my compatriot, right?" Zhang Chen smiled faintly. "We have been in a stalemate for so long, but he just refuses to give in. He is so shameless."

"Did you propose any conditions that they find difficult to accept?"

Zhang Chen looked at Tong Gang, who was staring at him with suspicion, and complained, "Director Tong, I was badly hurt some time ago. It's not too much to ask for a little bribe, right?"

"I just asked that." Tong Gang spread his hands. "In China, as long as you don't go too far, you can make as much noise as you want."

Zhang Chen was stunned by these words.

It is impossible that Tong Gang said such words.

But Tong Gang mentioned it to him very seriously.

So it seems
There are some benefits to bringing honor to your own family.

Zhang Chen chuckled and quickly caught up with Tong Gang, who was already two steps ahead of him.

In a large conference room
Zhang Chen was the last to arrive. When he entered the conference room, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Li Amin, Zhang Jigang and their teams had already taken their seats.

"Come, Zhang Chen, sit here."

Zhang Chen looked up and was shocked.

Sure enough, his arrival continued to affect certain things.

The person in front of me is the one who accepted donations on behalf of Yanjing City and the Olympic Committee when he donated 2 million US dollars.

"Liu,,,"

"No need to be polite. As the donor of the main stadium and an international superstar who has participated in many large-scale cultural performances internationally, you should sit next to me and listen carefully to the creativity of these directors."

Sit next to this one
Zhang Chen looked at the people present. Many of the leaders he usually saw were sitting on the edge, so he was asked to sit closer to the center.
"Goodbye?" Zhang Chen asked cautiously.

"Just sit down when I tell you to. Don't be so shy, young man. Where's your energy from the past few days gone?"

"Okay." Zhang Chen adjusted his mentality slightly, walked calmly to the very eye-catching seat and sat down.

"Before the official selection of the Olympic Games director, I have one announcement to make."

Zhang Chen turned sideways and listened to his speech carefully.

"Zhang Chen."

"Ah?" Zhang Chen was called before he even sat down. He could only look at the person who was speaking with a confused look on his face.

"Now the Olympic Committee has officially invited you to be the artistic director of the Capital Olympics. Do you accept it?"

"Ah? Me?" Zhang Chen's eyes widened, but he quickly reacted, "Accept it!"

This isn't a question of whether he's willing or not.

However, he who originally planned to come here to watch the show now has to pay attention to this matter.

"Well, do a good job." The leader thought for a moment and reminded, "Originally, someone wanted us to invite Spielberg to be the art director, but I think you, as someone who has seen many big scenes in our country, should be able to do this job. Don't let us down."

"Yes!"

Zhang Chen was stunned, and the pressure came up instantly.

At this point, Zhang Chen had no choice but to put aside his original mentality of just playing around and take this matter seriously.

At least, you can't laugh out loud when poet Chen is reciting poetry.

The subsequent selection also began to proceed in an orderly manner.

First came Cui Jian’s team, followed by Zhang Jigang and Li Amin.

It can be seen that they are well prepared.

It also made Zhang Chen realize that every famous director is not famous for nothing.

At least in their professional field, they have come up with many eye-catching design plans based on the styles of different directors.

This also made the leader sitting next to Zhang Chen nod frequently.

"Okay, next is Director Chen Kai."

Under the expectation of a group of directors and leaders, and the gaze of Zhang Chen who looked like he was watching a play, Brother Chen Kai cleared his throat and said: "I think our Olympics should be..."

Originally, everyone thought that Director Chen would be like the previous directors and come up with a lot of design drawings and multiple reference plans.

As a result, this guy started talking in front of everyone just by using his mouth.

Let’s not talk about whether his speech, creativity, etc. are good or not.

Are you doing this because you want your leaders to listen to you and take notes?

In this kind of situation, you don’t even know how to hand a complete report to your leaders?

Zhang Chen looked at Director Chen as if he was a fool.

It is unclear whether this person is planning not to run for election or if he really believes that he can convince the leaders with just his mouth.

However, Director Chen obviously did not notice the increasingly dark faces of the people at the top, and he continued to express his views passionately.

then
"Suddenly there was news that Jibei was taken back, and my clothes were soaked with tears when I first heard it.

But I look at my wife, she is worried, and I am so happy that I am overwhelmed by the poetry and books. "

After reciting the poem, Brother Chen Kai touched his chin and felt that he had won the victory.

In his opinion, no director here can compare to him, the only Palme d'Or winner in the country.

Zhang Yimou has already brought the national audience the Black Eight Minutes at the Athens Olympics, and the risk of selecting him for the Capital Olympics is too high.

Besides, how could Zhang Yimou, a director who started out as a photographer for himself, compare with him, an internationally renowned director who came from a family of directors?

Thinking of this, Brother Chen Kai looked at several leaders of the Olympic Committee with anticipation.

"Pfft."

Zhang Chen, after holding back for a long time, still couldn't help laughing out loud.
