The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 339: Did they kiss each other when they were children?
"Boss! I have a problem!"

Zhang Chen was about to go home, but someone in the crowd raised his hand.

Zhang Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Yang Mi.

"how?"

Zhang Chen did not correct the other person's way of calling him, as many people now called him that.

"I want to ask, do we have a chance to film a TV series with you?" Yang Mi looked at Zhang Chen excitedly, "If I remember correctly, The Return of the Condor Heroes is about to start filming, right?"

Zhang Chen looked at this Yanjing girl with interest.

You know what, Yang Mi was really brave at that time.

But she should have debuted as a child star when she was very young, and the company she signed with should have been Rong Xinda.

Did Rong Xinda stuff someone in, or was there some other situation?
But this is something he should pay attention to after returning. Now he has to answer Yang Mi's question.

"Filming will start soon, and there are still a few roles to be chosen from among you. Work hard."

It is hard to say whether Guo Xiang will still be Yang Mi.

With so many options available now, it’s not necessary to shoot according to the original character.

The Return of the Condor Heroes
Zhang Chen rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

He originally agreed to film these TV series for Jin Yong in order to increase his popularity among the public, but he became famous too quickly and now filming TV series has delayed his other work.

Jin Yong really made a lot of money from that dollar. The translated versions of his novels have been selling like hot cakes abroad. Although they are not as good as "Harry Potter", thanks to Zhang Chen's fame, the world of Chinese martial arts has been successfully sold abroad.

Now we can only hope that the successful cultural output can make Zhang Chen’s pain feel better.

When Zhang Chen returned home, the house was already full of people.

Liu Yifei, Sun Fangping, Zhang Zhiguo, and Liu Xiaoli.

It's a rare occasion for the two families to get together today.

It's not for anything else, just because of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"

It's on air.

"Come on, come on, it's about to start."

Liu Yifei waved to Zhang Chen and patted the seat next to her.

“I’ve watched it several times.”

Zhang Chen sat down reluctantly.

They have acted in more than one TV series, so there's no need to make such a fuss, right?
"You've seen it many times, but we haven't."

Sun Fangping grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to Liu Xiaoli.

She heard that the TV series had been banned for a long time and was only released now.

To be more precise, it should be that it cannot be broadcast on the TV due to some reasons.

Now that the policy has been relaxed a bit, Spoon TV, considering Zhang Chen's fame, spent 100 million to buy the first broadcast rights of this TV series.

"I heard that you kissed in this drama?"

Sun Fangping's casual question made Zhang Chen's hand, which was holding melon seeds, freeze.

He stared at his mother with wide eyes.

Liu Xiaoli is sitting next to her. Isn't she afraid that her son will be physically destroyed by Liu Xiaoli?
"As an actor, there is nothing I can't let go of."

Liu Xiaoli glanced at her blushing daughter and made a light-hearted comment.

“I can’t see the future or the past

Can't tell the difference between life and death
Doesn't take away joy or regret
leave here
Dawn and crescent moon alternate
I traveled through the centuries
"

As Liu Yifei's version of the theme song - "Sha Po Lang" sounded, the TV series opened with the opening scene of Zhang Chen flying on a sword.

It has to be said that with nearly 15 million yuan spent on special effects and costumes, the effect seems to be at least two levels higher than the original in terms of visual perception, and can be compared with the beauty and shock of the fairy tale dramas years later.

"Looking at the opening credits, it looks like it's going to have a tragic ending?"

"Ah."

"Then Chenchen and Xixi will not be able to live happily together in the end?"

“Then this TV show isn’t very good.”

"Indeed, at least we have to arrange for the birth of a child in there."

"Well, we need to let the young people learn how to raise children."

The two mothers talked to each other, and Liu Yifei's face became redder and redder.

Even Zhang Chen, who was as thick-skinned as he was, was so embarrassed by the two mothers' words that he didn't know what to say.

“Wow, this shot of Sissi unravelling her memories under the tree is so beautiful.”

"What about me?" Zhang Chen finally found a place to interrupt.

"You, you are a good person."

Sun Fangping's answer left Zhang Chen speechless again.

"No, it's too early. You are not a human being. How can you have the nerve to trick a young girl who knows nothing about the world into kissing you?!"

Sun Fangping saw Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger hiding in the closet, and looked at her son with disdain.

Zhang Zhiguo also looked at Zhang Chen with a teasing expression. He suspected that his son had used the same method to trick Xixi into giving him her first kiss when Xixi was little.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Liu Yifei with suspicion, and the little girl almost buried her head in her chest.

"It's acting, it's acting!"

"Bah! I think you are just acting like yourself!"

Sun Fangping looked at her son with disdain and completely ignored Zhang Chen's explanation.

Zhang Chen looked up at the ceiling helplessly. He couldn't understand why a TV show he was watching turned into a trial meeting for him?

"But the songs made by Chenchen are all very nice."

Liu Xiaoli made a summary at the end.

In fact, it’s not just Liu Xiaoli who feels this way. Zhang Chen’s fans have already started happily taking out their wallets and starting to pay.

Currently, on Morning Light Music, the total number of downloads of songs related to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has exceeded 10 million in just one night.

This is because the TV station gave it prime time, which allowed the TV series to have a viewership rate of over 5%.

In addition, there is strong support from fans of Zhang Chen, Liu Yifei and others.

Especially Zhang Chen, who has not released any albums or singles this year. This time, their wish to listen to new songs has been satisfied.

All the songs instantly made it to the top ten of the charts, surpassing the singers who had released special albums:

1. "Always Quiet", Liu Yifei

2. Rain in June, Zhang Chen
3. SPL, Liu Yifei

4. "Finally Understand", Zhang Chen
5. "Xiaoyao Tan", Zhang Chen
6. Flowers and Swords, Liu Yifei

On Weibo, topics related to "Chinese Paladin" also topped the hot search list. Netizens had a heated discussion about this epoch-making fairy tale drama:

"I was wondering what big move Chenguang Entertainment was preparing without making a sound, but now they are bringing our country's fairy tales directly to the screen!"

"I've played this game before, and it was very hard for me!"

"Liu Yifei's performance as Zhao Ling'er is so beautiful. I have decided that from now on, Sister Ling'er will be my white moonlight. Even Wang Yuyan can't compare to her."

"This is the first time that Zhang Chen has been surpassed by someone else on the music charts, even though this song was also written by Zhang Chen."

"I originally thought that Zhang Chen was going to be lazy again. This TV series has brought me so many surprises. These songs are no worse than those Zhang Chen wrote before."

"You guys only pay attention to Zhang Chen's TV series. Am I the only one who paid attention to what was reported by major media today? Baidu is in trouble this time."

"That's how it should be. I searched for what I wanted on Baidu, and all that came out were ads. It's disgusting."

"Zhang Chen is also very generous. He spent $100 million at once. He is determined to help ordinary people like us who have been cheated by Baidu to get justice."

"'Morning Light Beyond Class' has also started recording. I wonder how many people will achieve a class leap like 'The Voice of China', and directly become big stars from unknown people."

This day was the day when Morning Light Entertainment dominated all news pages.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Morning Light Beyond Class", and Zhang Chen's counterattack against Baidu have once again given the Chinese people a clearer understanding of the strength of Morning Light Entertainment.

And it wasn't just that day. In the following month, with the popularity of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the ratings jumped from 5 to 8. Various news about "Morning Light Beyond Class" continued to dominate the front pages of the news, allowing the Chinese people in 05 to enjoy the information bombardment of the new era.

As the central figures of the incident, Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei had already taken the "Sissi" to Zhejiang Province.

In the newly built Xiangshan Film and Television City by Chenguang Real Estate, the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" quietly started filming without the knowledge of the outside world.

"Aunt, please give me some pocket money."

Zhang Chen, with his long hair flying in the wind, smiled flatteringly at Liu Yifei who was still putting on makeup.

"Okay, okay." Liu Yifei didn't dare to turn around, for fear of disturbing the makeup artist's work, but she still waved her hand generously, "Call me auntie a few more times so that I can hear it!"

These days, Liu Yifei has earned a lot of pocket money by singing the theme song of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

So far, the TV series has brought her more than 60 new Weibo fans, and the total downloads of her three songs on Morning Light Music have successfully exceeded 2000 million, including a series of profits such as membership dividends and single download dividends.

Liu Yifei has earned a total of 3000 million this month, which has made her empty wallet swell again after investing in stocks.

"Today, students from the Morning Light Beyond Class are here for assessment, and a few supporting roles should have been decided."

"Which role has not yet been decided?"

"Guo Xiang."

"Shall we let Sing Sing?"

Liu Yifei instantly stepped out of her "aunt" identity and looked at Zhang Chen with a flattering expression.

In order to get a role for your sister, you have to please the financial sponsor of the crew.

"No!" Zhang Chen flatly refused, "If I say it's fair, then it's fair."

"Stingy." Liu Yifei muttered, but didn't say anything else.

Because she knew it was not appropriate to talk about these things when there were outsiders around.

In the entire dressing room, besides the two of them, there were many costume stylists and makeup artists. If they discussed the internal appointment at this time, it would be spread outside accidentally.

When Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei were performing in the afternoon, a group of PDs holding cameras came from outside the crew.
Behind this group of PDs, there is a group of newbies who are obviously joining the crew for the first time.

"Is this where Zhang Chen and Yifei are filming their TV series? The set design is amazing."

"All the TV series Zhang Chen starred in are good. I watched the entire "Chinese Paladin" last month."

"We are recording a show. How did you manage to watch every episode during the recording?"

"The CGT player is only 10 episodes behind the TV station, which is about a week. It was all updated yesterday."

After the first broadcast rights of "The Chinese Paladin" were sold to Spoon TV, other major TV stations and CGT TV won the second round broadcast rights at an average price of around 3000 million.

This brought Chenguang Film and Television an income of nearly 2 million yuan.

On this project alone, Chenguang Entertainment's profit exceeded 2 million RMB, successfully making fantasy dramas the new favorite of major film and television companies.

Now, many film and television companies have begun to collect fantasy games and novels that have a fan base on the market.

But after searching around, they found that the copyrights of these offline types had basically already been acquired by Chenguang Entertainment. If they wanted to shoot, they could only buy them from Chenguang Entertainment at a high price, or jointly develop with Chenguang Entertainment.

Especially the website Diannang.

The growth momentum has been rapid in the past few years. There are already many fantasy works on the website with readers exceeding hundreds of thousands, which makes these film and television companies very jealous.

These situations were also revealed to the newbies during the filming of "Morning Light Beyond Class" by Chenguang Entertainment insiders Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Shu Chang, and Gao Yuanyuan.

The newbies who came to the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" today are very excited.

Maybe they'll get a chance to star in one too?
With such expectations, they walked into the shooting scene.

"Crack!"

The director of this drama is Zhang Chen’s old acquaintance and long-term TV drama co-director of Chenguang Film and Television, Zhou Xiaowen.

When he saw a large crowd of people coming outside, he immediately stopped the filming.

After seeing that the leader was Fan Bingbing, he directly said to the current popular artist of Morning Light: "Bingbing, what's the matter?"

"I bring these newcomers to experience life on the set."

"'Morning Light Beyond Class'?"

"Correct!"

Zhou Xiaowen then remembered that Chenguang Entertainment had indeed told him that during the filming of his TV series, some newcomers would come to experience the life on the crew, and that those with outstanding performances would be allowed to participate in the filming process.

This was decided by the boss Zhang Chen, and as a person who receives a fixed salary there is nothing for him to complain about.

The shooting progress was delayed and the TV series was not well made, but he didn't need to worry about it, because Zhang Chen, the financial sponsor, would pay for it.

After figuring this out, Zhou Xiaowen led Fan Bingbing and a group of newcomers towards Zhang Chen.

"Is this the director? He seems to be very familiar with the class monitor."

"That's right. Our class leader is the mainstay of Morning Light Entertainment."

"Bullshit, our class leader is the pillar of Morning Light Entertainment!"

"Stop talking, I think our class monitor is the one."

Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Yang Ying, and Jiao Junyan, four relatively courageous people, followed behind Fan Bingbing and started arguing in a low voice.

There were actually four class monitors they were discussing.

Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan, Shu Chang.

After a month, these people have established deep friendships with their class leaders, and at the same time have developed a strong sense of competition with other classes.

With the private approval of several squad leaders, these four small groups began to compete with each other.

Only when there is competition can there be topics, only when there are topics can there be highlights, and only when there are highlights can there be ratings.

If Zhang Chen hadn't allowed it, they all hoped that it would be fun to see these little girls fighting.
