The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 326 Why is he still the same size as when he was a child?

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it."

As soon as Zhang Chen laughed out loud, he knew something bad was going to happen.

Others either frowned and endured Director Chen's empty remarks, or looked at Director Chen with a blank face, not knowing what he was talking about.

Only Zhang Chen couldn't help laughing when he thought of Director Chen's nickname in the future.

Director Chen's face turned red when he heard the laughter. He didn't know whether he should continue or not. But he didn't dare to say anything to Zhang Chen. He didn't forget what happened last year. It was like a sword hanging over his head, forcing him to be careful whenever facing Zhang Chen.

"Zhang Chen, since you think their plan is funny, why don't you come up with one?"

Leader Liu was not angry because Zhang Chen interrupted Director Chen's speech.

On the contrary, he felt that Zhang Chen's laughter came at the right time, saving him the trouble of interrupting Director Chen's speech.

"Sorry, sorry, I just suddenly thought of something really fun. Should we let Director Chen continue?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhang Chen quickly adjusted his sitting posture, sitting upright so that others would not pay attention to him.

"We need to digest what he said. Why don't you tell us what you have seen and heard on the world stage over the years, so that we can open our eyes?"

"Everyone here is much older than me, and has seen and heard much more than me, so I won't make a fool of myself here, right?"

"It's okay, just treat it as a casual chat on the way to work."

In fact, the director selection process is time-sensitive and the task is heavy, and there are still many directors waiting to present their plans.

However, Leader Liu spoke up, obviously wanting to clear his ears.

"Then I'll just talk about it casually." Zhang Chen also received the news, and after simply sorting out his thoughts, he continued.

"First of all, we need to show the characteristics of our country, because foreigners want to understand a country and leave a deep impression on it. Traditional culture is a good feature that distinguishes it from other countries."

After Zhang Chen said this, Li Amin and Zhang Yimou couldn't help but nodded.

In Li Amin’s proposal just now, the opening ceremony was explained based on China’s traditional culture.

Although Zhang Yimou will not elaborate on his plan until tomorrow, his plan contains many traditional cultural elements.

Therefore, Zhang Chen's point of view coincides with the plans of these two great directors.

"What I have heard most in recent years is whether Chinese people all know Kung Fu. This is due to the efforts of actors such as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. I also heard them talk to me about our country's classical musical instruments and how much they hope to visit our Forbidden City."

Hearing this, many people at the scene nodded.

Sometimes they also come into contact with a lot of foreigners.

This is what they have heard most from their foreign friends in the past two years.

Kung Fu was made popular by Cheng Long and others.

And the following ones.
These people all looked at Zhang Chen.

Since Zhang Chen became internationally famous, many people have developed a keen interest in Chinese music. After a deeper understanding, they discovered that China has a wide variety of musical instruments.

They were surprised to find that the timbres that can be produced by today's mainstream Western musical instruments can all be found in a corresponding classical musical instrument among Chinese classical instruments.

Judging from the time, these Chinese musical instruments were created earlier than Western music.

A few scholars have begun to study the relationship between the two, trying to see if there was any connection between the two in ancient times.

The reason why the Forbidden City replaced the Great Wall as the most popular tourist destination in China for foreigners is also because of Zhang Chen.

That live broadcast, the press conferences held in front of the Morning Light Building, and the joint performance of Chinese and Western instruments allowed many people in the world to feel the classical beauty of this city.

So even though Zhang Chen did not participate in the preparations for the previous Olympic Games, in fact, in the past few years, Zhang Chen has been promoting this city in his own way, and has successfully aroused a strong curiosity and desire to explore this city in many people around the world.

This is also the main reason why he was invited to participate in the opening ceremony director selection today.

Because when it comes to external publicity, no one here can compare to Zhang Chen alone.

"However, traditions are traditions, and the world is developing. We also look at the world and integrate the emerging things in the world in recent years."

After hearing this, Li Amin fell into deep thought.

His proposal actually contains many traditional Chinese elements, but the problem is that there are "too many" of them.

The whole plan seems a bit petty.

"So." Zhang Chen glanced at the directors who had finished their speeches, "Our opening ceremony needs to be grand!"

"Oh?" Leader Liu became interested. "Tell me more about it."

"It's just about adding more technological means to make the whole scene look grand and majestic." At this point, Zhang Chen glanced at Zhang Yimou, who was sitting in the corner and hadn't explained his plan yet, "So I'm looking forward to Director Zhang Yimou's plan."

This is considered smuggling private goods.

Zhang Chen's words were basically equivalent to casting a vote for Zhang Yimou, who had not yet spoken.

Moreover, Zhang Chen said this not because she knew that Zhang Yimou could give everyone and the whole world an unforgettable Olympic opening ceremony.

This also included his intention to win over Zhang Yimou.

After the Black Eight Minutes in Athens, the question of whether Zhang Yimou was qualified to direct the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games was questioned.

In this situation, Zhang Chen's direct support for Zhang Yimou before he even elaborated on his plan was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Zhang Yimou.

Because what Zhang Chen supports is him as a person, not his plan.

"Zhang Chen is so optimistic about Director Zhang?"

Leader Liu also looked surprised.

"When it comes to scheduling large scenes, I still trust Director Zhang's ability."

Zhang Chen nodded and agreed with this statement directly.

It has been a while since he tried to persuade Zhang Yimou to make a movie for his company.

Giving him a vote now while he hasn't even presented his proposal yet will have a different effect than voting after he has finished speaking.

"Then come together tomorrow to listen to Director Zhang's plan."

The leader didn't care whether Brother Chen Kai had finished speaking or not, and directly announced the end of today's meeting.

He didn't want to listen to Brother Chen Kai's empty words anymore.

"Zhang Chen, thank you."

After the leader left, Zhang Yimou came to Zhang Chen with a look of gratitude on his face.

He has been under fire since last year's closing ceremony in Athens.

It is also because of Zhang Chen that there are so many channels for online speech nowadays, so Zhang Yimou was scolded by netizens.

During this period of time, he has been locking himself up at home to work on a plan in order to avenge his previous humiliation.

And Zhang Chen's unconditional support just now made him feel warm in his heart.

"You're welcome. Didn't Director Zhang leave the Oscars with me last month without saying anything?"

"Haha, regarding that matter, I don't think any Chinese would remain indifferent under such circumstances." Zhang Yimou smiled at first, but quickly reacted, "Ziyi has difficulties." "I don't care whether she has difficulties or not."

Of course Zhang Chen knew what Zhang Ziyi was planning.

It's nothing more than getting a jury seat at the Oscars, becoming a world-class movie star, and being able to return to China and look down on a group of mainland stars.

"Forget it, let's not mention her. It's unlucky." Zhang Chen waved his hands with an expression of extreme disgust.

Zhang Yimou also looked helpless.

He also couldn't understand what Zhang Ziyi was thinking.

If she offends Zhang Chen, the emerging big shot in the mainland film and television industry, will she suffer the consequences?
Those actors from Hong Kong Island, such as Zhao Junqi, have now fallen to the point of making money by performing at various events like minor celebrities.

Even the base camp is almost gone, can Zhang Ziyi still venture abroad with peace of mind?
"Then let's talk about 'Morning Light Beyond Class'."

The two of them walked out of the conference room side by side, chatting about some good ideas they had seen recently.

Zhang family's manor on the outskirts of the capital

There is a new foreigner in the manor today.

"Emma, why are you coming to me instead of going back to Ying Country with Rowling and the others?"

When Zhang Chen returned home, he saw Emma sitting in the living room with Liu Yifei.

This girl seemed to have come back with him?

I was escaping in a hurry and didn't care who Liu Yifei took with her.

"I'm here to teach Crystal." Emma tried to hold back a smile, "Remember to pay her."

"What kind of class are you taking? Do you want me to pay you?"

"Don't worry about it. You'll know soon. Just remember to give me the money." Emma thought for a moment and added, "I remember you Chinese have the custom of giving red envelopes. Remember to give me a big one when the time comes!"

Seeing that he couldn't get any more words out of her, Zhang Chen turned to look at Liu Yifei, whose face was red. "What did she teach you?"

"Cough!" Liu Yifei covered her mouth with a fist and coughed awkwardly, "Nothing!"

"Mysterious and strange."

Zhang Chen shook his head and ignored the two girls.

Anyway, Emma said she would know soon, so there was nothing wrong with waiting.

He has a lot of things to deal with himself.

Apart from him, the most famous person in the film and television industry this month is Xu Jinglei.

"Letter from an Unknown Woman" was successfully released at the beginning of the month. This film won the Best Director and Golden Shell at the 04 San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain and the Best Photography and Best Art Awards at the th Golden Rooster Awards, allowing this literary young woman to successfully join the ranks of the new generation of directors.

It has the same meaning as the sixth-generation directors such as Wang Xiaoshuai and Jia Zhangke.

Originally he didn't care about this little thing.

But there are people who want to use his fame to elevate their own status.

[While some of our country’s people failed to win Oscars, Xu Jinglei, who won the Best Director Award and the Golden Shell Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain for his film “Letter from an Unknown Woman”, recently appeared in a cinema and interacted closely with fans. ]

Zhang Chen was also speechless when reading this news.

Although this news did not explicitly point out who failed to win the Oscars, any discerning person could see that the news was referring to Zhang Chen, Zhang Yimou and others.

This is also a hard rub.

Zhang Chen only attended the Oscars as a producer, not as a director.

On Weibo, Xu Jinglei is also doing his best to promote his movie:
@Xu Jinglei: Welcome everyone to the cinema to watch my new movie. I hope this award-winning movie will be loved by everyone.

The most talked-about thing during this period is undoubtedly what happened to Zhang Chen at the Oscars.

At this moment, Xu Jinglei and her team are using this incident to hype the movie, and they have also seen that Zhang Chen himself is a hot topic.

"The last person who took advantage of my popularity is now completely out of favor."

Zhang Chen started his own Weibo account.

It just so happens that I haven't been in a good mood recently.

@张晨: I've been busy with the Olympics lately. Please don't get involved with irrelevant people. I don't have time to care about you.

After posting it, he turned off his computer without caring what kind of trouble this update might cause.

He has been in a state of nervous tension recently and just wants to take a quick bath and lie down on the bed.

Zhang Chen yawned as he strolled along the tree-lined path in the manor. The bright moonlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto his path. The quiet environment also made him feel much calmer.

"Forget it, I'll delete the Weibo after I finish taking a shower." Zhang Chen looked up and sighed.

There have been too many things going on lately and they have been too complicated, which has made him a little upset.

"Well, let the little cannon spray." Zhang Chen chuckled and continued walking towards the hot spring in the manor.

He suddenly felt that it was a wise decision to bring the small steel cannon into the company.

Sometimes, some things that are inconvenient to say can be said through Xiao Gangpao. Although it is not as pleasant as saying it directly by himself, it can at least make him feel much better.

Thinking about calling Feng Kuzi later, he also came to the locker room outside the hot spring.

This manor, located on the outskirts of the capital, has only one characteristic - it is big.

A racecourse, golf course, farm, garden, swimming pool and even an amusement park were built by Sun Fangping.

According to her, her eldest grandson will definitely not be able to go to the amusement park like ordinary children in the future. In this case, she might as well build one herself.

Zhang Chen was helpless about the behavior of making dumplings just for a bowl of vinegar.

But thinking that my money was almost gone, I just let my mother hoard the land.

Anyway, the land is in my hands, so I won’t suffer any loss.

In addition to these entertainment facilities that cover a large area, the manor naturally also has leisure facilities.

Among them, the natural hot spring discovered during construction is a highly praised place.

Since moving here, Zhang Chen's daily routine is to take a bath to relieve fatigue.

As usual, he walked into the locker room and came to his own hot spring pool.

Public pool?
Yes, but Zhang Chen’s family are not native northerners, so they are not used to soaking in the same pool together.

When Zhang Chen stepped into his pool with a towel in hand, he suddenly felt...
These partitions should not have been built in the first place!

"Emma, why has your thing grown so big in the past few years?"

Zhang Chen was soaking in the pool, listening to the noise coming from next door.

"I'm also wondering, why is your place still the same size as when we first met?"

　Slept all day
