The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 409: Danger? But it concerns the fate of countless people!
The Grammy Awards have a unique feature, which can be considered an unwritten consensus.

That is, basically every singer who performs at the Grammy Awards will win an award.

For Zhang Chen, who has not held a concert or performed on a TV show for many years.

As long as he goes to the Grammys, he is sure to win.

The topic of "Zhang Chen is the benchmark of quality in the world music scene" has been discussed countless times.

If Zhang Chen is not here, then the Grammy Awards will be the standard for judging world singers.

As long as Zhang Chen is here, how fair the Grammy Awards will be will depend on how many awards Zhang Chen can win.

This is the reputation and golden brand that Zhang Chen has earned with hundreds of hit songs.

So, Zhang Chen goes to the Grammys = wins the award = sings!

Zhang Chen and his fans all over the world are blessed!

As an artist who can perform the electronically synthesized "Dance of the Goddess" with live vocals, Zhang Chen's singing skills have been recognized by fans and peers all over the world.

In terms of singing skills, Zhang Chen is definitely one of the best in the first echelon.

In terms of song quality, Zhang Chen is currently the singer with the most golden songs in the world and is far ahead.

Countless people are looking forward to Zhang Chen's concert.

Unfortunately, they couldn't find a reason to let Zhang Chen, a billionaire, hold a concert.

If he can really attend the Grammys, it would be a kind of compensation.

That's why the reporters exclaimed.

Because many people are fans of Zhang Chen.

They've waited too long.

But Zhang Chen's answer
"I just said it's possible." Zhang Chen shook his head regretfully.

Just go when you say so?

Hitting yourself in the face will make people criticized.

Even if his family needs him to get the honor, they can't go back on their word with just a few words.

There was no "three clears and three concessions" and Zhang Chen's "cannot refuse the kindness" drama, he would not break his promise easily.

Sometimes, as long as it is not a fundamental interest, for someone who has reached Zhang Chen's level, face is always more important than interests.

Although Zhang Chen's answer disappointed the reporters, they still maintained the basic qualities of media workers and went ahead with this rare "press conference."

"Leon, the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival will be held in a few days. The chairman of the jury this year is director Wong Kar-wai, and Miss Zhang Ziyi is also on the jury. May I ask why, as the winner of the last Palme d'Or, you did not participate in it?"

"I am busy filming a movie and unfortunately I don't have time to attend this year's Cannes Film Festival."

There is actually a trap in this question.

The three major European film festivals are actually small circles.

At each film festival, the president of the film festival will personally invite the chairman of the jury, and the chairman of the jury will bring a few filmmakers with whom he has a good relationship, together with a few people invited by the president of the film festival to form the jury.

The reporter was actually asking whether Zhang Chen was being ostracized by people at his own country’s film festival.

After Zhang Chen rejected the invitation to the Cannes Film Festival, he did not receive an invitation from Wong Kar-wai.

Maybe he heard the news from the festival director.

It is also possible that he was really ignored by the King of Sunglasses.

After all, anyone who knows about his affairs with the Hong Kong film industry knows a little about it.

"So, in your opinion, which movie will win the award and which actors will win the Best Actor or Best Actress award at this Cannes Film Festival?"

"I don't have time to go to Cannes, so I don't know much about the films participating in this year's exhibition." Zhang Chen shook his head regretfully, but soon he smiled and replied, "But I think a respected director like Director Wang should be able to give everyone a satisfactory result in a fair manner, right?"

Wholesale of best actor and actress, it should be this year, right?

I don’t know if Wang Jiawei will do this again.

“Leon, we all know the girls in your band in the MV for your new song. Who is the handsome keyboard player?”

"That's the leading man in my new movie."

"When will Nalion's new movie be released?"

Zhang Chen looked at the somewhat infatuated reporter and was helpless. He could only give an approximate time: "Probably next year."

"Will Nalion send the film to Cannes, or to the other two festivals?"

There are three major film festivals in Europe.

Some directors will choose to stick to one film festival, and these are the most loyal ones.

Some directors are obsessed with collecting all three golds from the three major European film festivals: the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear.

And Zhang Chen.
"I don't know. It depends on the time. I'll go to whichever film festival happens to be there."

He really doesn't have any direct lineage, and his relationship with Cannes cannot be said to be particularly close.

I don't have any special stamp collecting hobby.

Although Zhang Chen hopes to win an award for this movie, he will only do it if it is a necessary step to achieve the mission of this movie.

The reporters were also a little confused by Zhang Chen's "Tai Chi" for a while.

"I heard that Miss Zhang Ziyi will play a role in your new movie?"

When Zhang Chen heard this question, he finally perked up a little.

The fun is coming.

He coughed lightly and replied seriously: "After discussing with Director Ang Lee at the Oscars, we both agreed that Zhang Ziyi is very suitable for a role in my movie."

Before the reporters could ask more questions, Zhang Chen added: "At the same time, he is also very suitable for the leading lady in director Ang Lee's new movie, so we signed the contract on the spot."

"What?!" A reporter who had heard about Ang Lee's new film project exclaimed, "Isn't it that Director Ang Lee's new film is adapted from Eileen Chang's novel of the same name, Lust, Caution?"

When it comes to new films by world-renowned directors, even Western journalists have tried to learn about the film's creative background.

So it's not surprising that they can say the name Zhang Ailing.

"Yes!" Zhang Chen nodded.

"that is not"

"I haven't seen it, so I don't know much about it." Zhang Chen shook his head and didn't respond. "But I believe that with the ability of director Ang Lee, it should be a very good movie."

"These" reporters looked at each other, not knowing whether they should explain the content of the novel to Zhang Chen.

A reporter suddenly had an idea and asked, "Who do you think is more suitable to play the leading role in the new movie directed by Ang Lee?"

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the reporter who asked the question.

At this time, based on his previous answer that he was not clear about the background of the film's creation, the most appropriate answer should be to refuse to answer based on this reason.

But Zhang Chen, this might be a good excuse.

"I think Liang Chaowei, who used to be under my Morning Light Entertainment, is a good candidate."

Isn’t there a rumor that he suppresses Hong Kong stars?
You see, Zhang Chen personally recommended Hong Kong stars to star in movies directed by Oscar winners.

Is this a big enough honor?

The final result of this movie was that only the female lead Tang was banned.

The male lead Tony Leung Chiu-wai's career has reached new heights.

However, this time Zhang Chen intervened.

If Tony Leung Chiu-wai really couldn't resist, there would be a "milkman wearing a raincoat and the egg delivery man knocking on the door" scene between him and Zhang Ziyi.

Then what awaits him may not necessarily be a smooth career path.

After hearing Zhang Chen's answer, the reporters stopped asking questions. Many of them clenched their fists with flushed faces, as if they had received some incredible news.

Just when Zhang Chen thought that today's press conference was over and was about to leave, another reporter rushed out.

"Leon! Leon!"

Zhang Chen looked back and saw a short reporter jumping up and down with his hand raised, trying to attract his attention.

"You say." Zhang Chen smiled kindly.

Today, the company went public, and he was in a rare good mood, willing to chat with reporters for a while. "I just got the news that your wealth has been recalculated and reached 136 billion US dollars, making you the richest Chinese. What do you think about this?"

Zhang Chen was shocked.

So fast?
But he still calmed down and smiled calmly: "Nothing special."

Finally, he waved to the others and said, "Everyone, see you next time. I'm going back first."

When Zhang Chen turned his back to everyone, a barely detectable smile appeared on his face.

The day has finally arrived.

He is happy not because he has become the richest Chinese.

It's because he needs this identity to do something he has been planning for a long time.

This matter is very dangerous, but now that we know about it, there is no reason to sit idly by.

Otherwise he would have a guilty conscience.

"Xiao Xue, spread the word that I will be starting a worldwide concert tour next year or the year after."

wow-

Xue Yining's expression, which had never changed, was filled with shock.

She hurriedly squatted down to pick up the documents that fell from her hands, and stammered, "Boss, you want to hold a concert?!"

"Yes." Zhang Chen sighed helplessly and squatted down to help.

"But." Xue Yining quickly regained her composure, "It's too dangerous!"

Zhang Chen is going to hold a concert.

For fans all over the world, especially Zhang Chen's fans who have been waiting for so many years, this is like manna from heaven and can be called "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

After all, no one would have expected that a billionaire with assets exceeding 10 billion US dollars would hold a concert.

To put it bluntly, holding a concert is a once-a-year opportunity for singers to make money.

But for Zhang Chen, the money he earned from the concert was not enough to cover the interest generated by his wealth.

There is absolutely no need to work hard for a whole year just for a few things.

A concert is a systematic job.

Comprehensive preparations are required in terms of planning, budget, city selection, venue declaration, security, song selection, etc.

For singers, all the songs they want to sing in concerts have to be practiced long in advance to avoid failures.

Zhang Chen is so busy at work, there are so many more important things to do.

What is the picture?
"We have to give a surprise to the fans who have been waiting for so long, right?" Zhang Chen smiled slightly and put the documents in his hand into Xue Yining's hand.

"Boss!" Xue Yining took small steps to catch up with her boss. She persuaded him anxiously, "But your status is different now. The status of the richest man has too many problems."

"Danger?"

"Yes! It's too dangerous!"

There is an essential difference between the first and the second.

Many people only know who the richest person is, but don’t know who the second richest person is.

When Zhang Chen replaces Li Jiacheng, all Chinese people's attention will be focused on Zhang Chen.

He faces not only the envy and admiration of others, but also the covetousness and greed from the dark.

What kind of occasion is a concert?
Usually inside a gymnasium, there are tall buildings standing around it.

This terrible environment is as difficult as hell for security.

For snipers, it is simply a paradise for assassination.

"Boss, how about we just open it in the country?"

Domestically, at least maximum control can be guaranteed.

foreign
"How can that be possible? My fans are all over the world, how can I favor some over others?"

At this time, Zhang Chen acted like a willful boss, and was a bit stubborn.

Xue Yining was also having a headache. How come the boss, who had always been as timid as a mouse, couldn't be persuaded at this time?

Generally speaking, Zhang Chen's security is the easiest among all the wealthy people.

Because Zhang Chen never puts himself in danger.

But this time.
"Boss, do you have any plans?"

Xue Yining didn't believe that Zhang Chen's sudden disregard for her safety was an accident.

She would rather believe that Zhang Chen did this for some other reason.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chen was destined to disappoint her.

"No!" Zhang Chen answered firmly, "I don't have a plan, I just want to make it happen."

"This..." Xue Yining was speechless for a moment.

She couldn't think of any other reason to persuade Zhang Chen.

Maybe, she can?

Half an hour later, Zhang Chen returned to his villa.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Liu Yifei sitting on the sofa with her arms folded across her chest and a stern face.

Zhang Chen turned around and glanced at Xue Yining.

Is this your first time?

This should be the first time that Xue Yining leaked the secret to a third party in advance against his wishes.

Although this is news that will be announced to the public soon.

But the order is wrong.

Zhang Chen attaches great importance to this point.

But now is not the time to hold her accountable.

"Xixi, how did you know I would come back at this time?" Zhang Chen came closer with a smile.

"Humph!" Liu Yifei looked Zhang Chen up and down with a cold face, and said in a slightly mocking tone, "Our world superstar is planning to hold a concert to give back to the fans?"

"You knew?" Zhang Chen pretended to be surprised.

"Oh, stop pretending." Liu Yifei didn't buy it. "Someone told me secretly."

I don’t know how the little girl could have said such contradictory words.

But even so, he did not give up Xue Yining.

It seems that the little girl is not completely brainless.

"I was thinking, there are so many fans online who always say that I have only had one world tour in all these years." Zhang Chen sat down next to Liu Yifei, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "If this continues, what if they turn from fans to haters?"

"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?!" Liu Yifei frowned and turned to stare at Zhang Chen. "Even I know the dangers that the richest Chinese man will bring. Don't you understand?"

Zhang Chen was silent.

Wouldn't he know?

Of course he knew.

It's just that he has to use this reason to accomplish something.

A matter that concerns the fate of countless people.
