The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 368: Big money-spending behavior, really grown up (please double the monthly ticket at the end of the month!)

On November 11, the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was held at the Sanya Culture and Exhibition Center.

At 18:30, under the introduction of the red carpet host, various stars and film artists began to walk onto the red carpet in festive red attire with strong characteristics of the times.

Since this year marks the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema, this year's Golden Rooster Awards also invited many white-haired veteran artists to the event.

The moment batch after batch of veteran artists walked onto the red carpet, the crowds at the scene and the viewers in front of the TV all felt that their faces were familiar, but they couldn't put their finger on exactly what made them familiar.

But with the host's introduction, everyone always suddenly understands.

After all, the characters created by these people are so deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Each of the characters they create is a person who has left a mark on history, or is an image from a movie that was played many times during childhood.

However, the people at the scene were all young people, and they did not react very much to the appearance of the veteran artists.

It was not until the night gradually darkened that well-known actors and directors began to appear one after another.

Among them, only a limited number of people such as Cheng Long could cause them to cheer.

After Cheng Long signed his name on the signature wall that looked like a big red turntable and walked across the red carpet with the words "Centennial Celebration of Chinese Film" printed in yellow letters, the host's introduction caused another round of cheers from the audience.

"Next, walking towards us is our country's outstanding youth and internationally renowned superstar - Zhang Chen!"

Zhang Chen now rarely makes public appearances at domestic award ceremonies. After learning that he would attend the Golden Rooster Awards, many of Zhang Chen's fans came from all over the country to wait outside the closing ceremony of the Golden Rooster Awards, just to see Zhang Chen in person.

"Zhang Chen——"

"Zhang Chen, look here!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh!! Zhang Chen, I love you!"

Zhang Chen looked at the fans on both sides who were waving their cheering light signs wildly, and he also waved to both sides as he walked.

"I really envy you for having so many fans."

Liu Yifei wore a sky blue sequined long dress, with her hair tied up and a jewel necklace on her chest. Her whole image was fundamentally different from other stars of this era who like to wear curly hair.

At this time, no one can say who is "non-mainstream".

The mainstream dress style in the entertainment industry right now is fluffy hair paired with a short skirt and jeans, which would definitely be considered a "non-mainstream" style in later generations.

But when everyone started dressing like this, the non-mainstream became the mainstream.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei's elegant dress seemed somewhat out of place with all the female stars at the scene.

However, the human eye does not deceive.

When all the people at the scene, the celebrities, and the audience in front of the TV saw Liu Yifei's outfit, their eyes lit up.

"The person next to Zhang Chen is Liu Yifei?!"

"I knew Liu Yifei was pretty before, but I always thought she was just a child. But her outfit today is really eye-catching!"

"Compared to other actresses, I would like to call Liu Yifei the most beautiful woman at this awards ceremony!"

Zhang Chen walked slowly forward with Liu Yifei, listening to the people whispering or shouting along the way. He quietly approached Liu Yifei and said, "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I? It's right to listen to me, isn't it?"

"I think the outfit I prepared is pretty good-looking. I'm already 18 years old, and you don't let me choose what to wear." Liu Yifei responded in a low voice, more like she was resisting Zhang Chen's toughness.

She has prepared a lot of "dresses" for today's award ceremony, which are the products of her personal communication with many fashion design masters.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen doesn’t allow me to wear it.

It is said that it will become her dark history in the future.

She was very unconvinced.

"Don't even think about fiddling with your clothes. You're not destined for that!" Zhang Chen concluded that Liu Yifei wanted to choose her own clothes.

I don’t know why, under his influence, this girl’s fashion sense is still as bad as ever, which is really puzzling.

The two chatted quietly and soon came to the autograph area. The host here had been waiting for a long time. When Zhang Chen came up, he couldn't wait to ask questions:
"Zhang Chen, I thought you would never come back to Shu Province."

"After all, this is my first time participating in a film award, so there is no way I would miss it."

"Hahaha, just don't hope that our Golden Rooster Awards won't affect your investment in Shu Province, otherwise we will be guilty of a great sin."

"No, no, it was all done two days ago."

Zhang Chen didn't expect that the host didn't ask about the movie, but instead asked about what happened in Shu Province a few days ago, and this was not just a simple question.

"Friends at the scene and in front of the TV may not know that Zhang Chen donated more than 500 schools and an equally large number of public service facilities in Shu Province some time ago, such as libraries and large outdoor sports fields. These schools and facilities will be built to the highest standards. At the same time, friends in Shu Province, please pay attention."

"If you have a teacher's qualification certificate and are willing to go to the mountainous areas of Sichuan Province to teach, you can contact the local government office. Of course, if other friends from all over the country also have this intention, they can also go and sign up. Zhang Chen has agreed to bear all the expenses of all the teachers."

Zhang Chen blinked and just watched the host facing the camera and began to talk about what he had done a few days ago.

"Did you go out and spend money again?" Liu Yifei leaned close to Zhang Chen's ear and whispered.

"It's not much." Zhang Chen said indifferently.

In fact, not only Liu Yifei was curious about how much money Zhang Chen donated, but also tens of millions of viewers watching the movie channel in front of the TV were curious.

Their curiosity did not last long.

Because today's host seemed to have some mission and has never stopped helping Zhang Chen promote this matter from the beginning to now.

"It is reported that Zhang Chen donated more than 10 billion RMB in Sichuan Province. If the cost of subsequent teaching staff is included, the expenditure in the next 20 years may exceed 30 billion!"

The host ignored the uproar and turned to Zhang Chen: "Zhang Chen, I think everyone wants to know, are you really willing to donate such a large sum of money?"

The entire award ceremony fell silent because of this question.

The people of Sanya on both sides of the red carpet put down the various cheering signs in their hands and stretched their necks to look here, but no one made a sound.

The directors and actors who were originally walking on the red carpet also stopped. They did not dare to move towards Zhang Chen, but they also stayed where they were, waiting for Zhang Chen to answer the question.

They are so curious.

Zhang Chen has donated $2 million before, and the public welfare work done by the "Chenxi Fund" in China in recent years has been exposed to the public because of the open and covert struggles with Baidu in recent years. Now, Zhang Chen has donated 10 billion RMB directly, and the subsequent expenses may reach 30 billion, which really makes everyone at the scene feel sorry for Zhang Chen.

Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this.
Obviously, they did not have a clear understanding of Zhang Chen's wealth.

"Are you willing to give it up?" Zhang Chen answered without thinking, "After our country connected with the world, the economic situation is very good. I also believe that we, with the largest population in the world, will play an important role in the world."

After everyone had digested this passage, Zhang Chen continued to explain: "With such a bright future, how can we lack talents to build the country?"

"Zhang Chen, what do you mean?"

"It's just as you think." Zhang Chen took over the conversation and said what the host hadn't finished, "In the future, we will need talents from all walks of life to support a better future."

"So that's how it is. Zhang Chen, you think really far ahead." Although the host was older than Zhang Chen, at this moment, he felt that he was completely on the same level as Zhang Chen in terms of thinking.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that some people's success is not just luck.

He cannot compare with this forward-looking vision.

While the host was still thinking about how to continue this topic, Zhang Chen suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, it's actually not as high-end as you think." While the host and others were stunned, Zhang Chen continued to explain, "I'm doing quite well in this industry now, so I have to think about the future. I also hope to train some excellent talents for my company in the future."

The host resisted the urge to complain about Zhang Chen's so-called "little success" and agreed with a smile, "Anyway, Zhang Chen, you have put out real money to help the future growth of the motherland, and this is something we deserve our respect and gratitude for."

"Oh, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Zhang Chen waved his hand modestly.

"This is 30 billion!" the host emphasized.

"It's just 30 billion, a small amount of money." Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and said what was in his mind.

He wanted to continue speaking, but he felt like someone had stabbed him in the back.

Turning around, he saw Liu Yifei winking at him.

Zhang Chen looked in the direction Liu Yifei pointed with her pouting lips.
The host, director, actors, passers-by on both sides, reporters, and concierges all had the same expression - stunned.

"What...what happened?" Zhang Chen was confused.

"You just said that 30 billion is a small amount of money, and that's it." Liu Yifei looked straight ahead and explained the reason to Zhang Chen in a low voice.

"Ahem!" Zhang Chen reacted instantly. He coughed to cover up his embarrassment. "I see there are quite a few people waiting behind. How about I go in first?"

"Ah? Oh!" The host also reacted, "Yes, yes, we can't delay the award ceremony, Zhang Chen, go in quickly!"

Zhang Chen readily followed suit and took Liu Yifei's hand and walked towards the venue in small steps that were much faster than when they came.

"You will die if you don't brag." Liu Yifei held Zhang Chen's hand to prevent herself from falling, while complaining.

"These days, no one believes the truth." Zhang Chen retorted innocently.

"You" Liu Yifei wanted to refute, but when she thought of the previous equation Zhang Chen = 400*Liu Yifei, she immediately became silent.

Moreover, although she complained about Zhang Chen's behavior, she still supported Zhang Chen in doing more good things.

Now, the money each of them has is enough for them to live for a hundred lifetimes, so there is really no need to have any disagreements over money issues.

Now for both of them, money is the last thing worth discussing.

After all, one is the world's hidden billionaire, and the other is the richest female billionaire in the country. Both of them are rich.

Although Liu Yifei never buys luxury goods or cars to show off her wealth, she has never fallen out of the top 30 on the Hurun China Rich List every year.

She usually cries about being poor to Zhang Chen, who is richer than her, but every year NetEase gives her dividends of more than 3000 million RMB.

With this income alone, Liu Yifei can surpass all current domestic actors and exceed the annual profits of most or even all film and television companies except Chenguang Entertainment.

If we say that the current entertainment industry is a pastime for Zhang Chen, then it can also be said to be a place to enhance the group's external influence.

So for Liu Yifei, the entertainment industry is her way of catching up with Zhang Chen, and it is a battlefield that allows her to stand beside Zhang Chen openly.

Liu Yifei stood at the highest point of the red carpet camera, looking back at the red carpet she had just walked on, thinking about the host's introduction.

One day, she will accompany Zhang Chen onto the red carpet as Zhang Chen's girlfriend, instead of following behind Zhang Chen as "Zhang Chen's sister" as she did just now and in the past.

"It's time to go in. What are you looking at?" Zhang Chen just took a step forward, but found that Liu Yifei was still standing there. He couldn't help but look curiously at the place where Liu Yifei was looking.

Unfortunately, he didn't see anything noteworthy. There was still a dense crowd of people at the foot of the stairs, as well as a sparse number of red carpet guests and the faint voice of the host introducing the guests.

"I didn't see anything!" Liu Yifei retracted her gaze and smiled brightly at Zhang Chen, "Let's go!"

Zhang Chen watched Liu Yifei's back as she walked towards the door in a carefree manner, and couldn't help but look towards the place he had just looked at for a moment, but still didn't see anything.

He couldn't help scratching his head: "What happened?"

He didn't have time to think too much.

Because this was the first time, he did not accurately capture Liu Yifei's inner thoughts.

In the past, the two of them spent every day together, and Liu Yifei's every move was under his watch. No matter what little thoughts the girl had, he could see through them at the first moment.

If someone wants to do something bad to him, he will prepare a way to "suppress" them after noticing it.

If some actions seem to be meant to tease him but are actually to give him benefits, Zhang Chen will pretend not to see through them.

After so many years, he can clearly understand the meaning behind every look and every action of Liu Yifei.

Until today, that moment just now.

Zhang Chen stood where Liu Yifei had just stood, looking in the direction Liu Yifei had just looked at, and continued to try to guess what the little girl was thinking.

Unfortunately, the scenery was still the same, and the people were still the same, and nothing had changed because he had changed positions.

Again, he still hadn't guessed it.

"You've really grown up." Zhang Chen sighed as he looked at the moon in the sky which was becoming clearer and clearer.

　Really a big spender! Not a homonym! Please let it go, reviewer!
