The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 410 The day when the world revolves around Zhang Chen, the layout begins

As soon as June began, the whole world fell into madness because of Zhang Chen.

【The richest Chinese at the age of 22——Zhang Chen

According to public data, Zhang Chen's personal wealth is conservatively estimated to have exceeded 140 billion US dollars, surpassing Li Jiacheng and becoming the new richest Chinese!

[So far, the physical album sales of Zhang Chen's new album "Love" have exceeded 3000 million copies, and the digital album sales have exceeded 3000 million times.

Among them, the MV of "Sugar" has exceeded 3 million views and continues to rise at a very fast speed.

All the songs in the album have been on the Billboard singles chart, and the album has been at the top of the album sales chart for 3 months, which has put other singers in the world under great pressure and caused them to say that they released their albums at the wrong time.

According to reliable sources, Zhang Chen may break his promise not to attend the Grammy Awards because the Chinese songs in his new album were nominated for Grammys. I wonder if the Grammys will give fans around the world a chance to hear Zhang Chen sing live? 】

[During the filming of Zhang Chen's new movie, a reporter asked Zhang Chen about the new movie directed by Ang Lee. Regarding the movie "Lust, Caution", Zhang Chen felt that Tony Leung Chiu-wai was more suitable to play the leading male role. Will Zhang Ziyi partnering with Tony Leung Chiu-wai make this movie go international? ]

[Xue Yining, the main force of Zhang Chen, who has just become the richest Chinese, announced that Zhang Chen will start a global tour between 07 and 08. The specific time, country, city and number of performances are tentatively determined.]

"It is expected that Zhang Chen will become the richest Chinese. He has done so many shocking things this year!"

"140 billion US dollars! That's billion RMB!"

"As expected, in terms of album sales, no one in the world can compete with Zhang Chen. This album has only been on sale for more than three months, but this has already surpassed the sales of other singers in their entire lives."

"I am very curious now, can Zhang Chen surpass MJ in sales of all his albums and become the second in the world?"

"Don't you think about how old Zhang Chen is? It's possible that his last album sales will become the best in the world."

"First, it's impossible. Elvis Presley has sold at least 15 billion albums. It's too difficult for Zhang Chen to surpass this number. It's because of the times. Internet technology is so advanced now. Few people buy physical albums anymore."

"Did you eat up the sales of Zhang Chen's 3000 million physical albums? Now many people have started collecting Zhang Chen's albums. Do you know that Zhang Chen's earliest album "Youth" is now being sold for nearly 1 US dollars on the black market?"

"That's an exaggeration, I remember the price of this album was only about 20 RMB at most."

"Scarcity makes things valuable. This was Zhang Chen's first album at the time. In addition, he has become the richest Chinese now. Many people don't think Zhang Chen will make money from albums. These albums will gradually become out of print, and the value of the collection will of course increase significantly."

"I really don't know what's wrong with Zhang Chen's brain. Others are just 22 years old and have just graduated from college, but he is already the richest Chinese!"

"Come to think of it, if I remember correctly, this year seems to be the year when Zhang Chen graduated from university?"

"It's June now, Zhang Chen is going to graduate?"

"Why are you all concerned about these trivial things? What I am more concerned about now is which continents, countries, cities Zhang Chen will hold his concerts in, how many shows there will be in total, and whether I have a chance to get tickets. This is what I care about most!"

"Yeah, with Zhang Chen's bad personality, this world tour might be his farewell performance!"

"Anyway, I have so much money now, I will definitely stay at home and enjoy my life. It's rare that Zhang Chen still remembers the fans who have always supported him."

It was just the beginning of June, and the world's public opinion was revolving around Zhang Chen.

Whether in the financial sector or the entertainment sector, even in the mainstream media of some countries, a considerable amount of space has been used to report on this world superstar who has stirred up changes in the world.

Many economists have calculated that if Zhang Chen is willing to hold a concert in a city in their country, it will greatly boost the GDP of that city.

It is conservatively estimated that the fiscal revenue of the cities fortunately selected by Zhang Chen will increase by more than 3% that year, and the number may be even higher in some underdeveloped regions.

"We must secure the right for Lyon to hold his concert in our city!"

"If we don't get the right to hold the concert, we will be scolded to death by those fans!"

"In order to get votes, we must get the right to host the Lyon concert!"

The Western world is much simpler, both for the economy of their own cities and for their own votes.

For them, as long as Zhang Chen goes to their city to hold a concert, then they will basically have a sure win in the next election.

But for the mainland, some people are not very happy.

"What is Zhang Chen thinking? Doesn't he know that he is now a piece of Tang Monk's meat? What if something unexpected happens during the concert?"

"Your status is different now. You don't want to stay in the country peacefully. You have to make such a big fuss!"

"So I said we shouldn't spoil him too much. Look at what he did. He made this decision without consulting us at all."

"Okay, okay, this is Zhang Chen's freedom. Does everything he does need to be reported?"

"His achievements today are not only the result of his own efforts. Now he is showing off his achievements everywhere and putting them in such a dangerous situation. How can I stay calm?"

"Send more troops to protect him, this troublesome little guy, ah!"

"La La Land" crew

The filming, which lasted more than three months, allowed Zhang Chen, who won the Palme d'Or without much experience in film directing, to accumulate systematic knowledge.

During the filming of this movie, there were too many filming techniques that he had never been exposed to before, but after several months of study and time, plus spending money regardless of cost, he can now confidently say that he is a qualified director.

"Click!" Zhang Chen stood up from the director's chair, scanned the entire audience, looked at his crew members with expectant eyes, and smiled brightly: "Filming is complete!"

"Oh--"

"Long live!--"

God knows how they got through this period of time.

If their boss hadn't paid them enough, they might not have been able to polish a shot over and over again for a week.

Nor will I accompany a director to reshoot the same plot over and over again.

NG is the norm, but there is a limit.

But Zhang Chen will not give up until he achieves his goal in this shooting.

If perfection is not achieved, Zhang Chen will arrange for all the crew members to start over again and again.

This is a huge torture for the actors and other staff members in the crew.

Fortunately, the film was finally completed.

They also made a lot of money.

“Director Leon, are you really going to hold a concert?”

"Yes, can you tell me the exact time?"

"Can you please save some tickets for our crew? Your concert tickets are so hard to get!"

Before Zhang Chen could sit back down, a group of people surrounded him.

Led by Katie, followed by Chris and a few others.

Even Zhang Ziyi, who only had a cameo appearance, gathered around. But seeing how worried she looked, it was unclear if it was because Ang Lee had recently started to aggressively select actors.

The contents of the script have been widely leaked, and many people have begun to spread the rumor that Zhang Ziyi will star in a movie with three nude scenes. "I haven't decided on a specific time yet."

"Shouldn't it be after our movie?"

"There are so many things that need to be prepared for this concert. It should be after the movie is released. I will definitely reserve some tickets for everyone then."

"awesome!"

After hearing Zhang Chen's promise, some excited crew members almost rushed over and wanted to kiss Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly: "Everyone, go back. Thank you for your hard work during this period. I will treat you all to a meal after you go back."

"it is good!"

They also knew that the boss, who was the director, had a lot of things to do at this time, so they dispersed very attentively.

Anyway, as long as they have concert tickets, they will be satisfied.

"Director Zhang."

After the crowd dispersed, only a few leading actors and a marginal figure, Zhang Ziyi, were left.

In the entire crew, Zhang Ziyi only had one shot of a few seconds.

But since she came to the crew, she has been staying there silently for a whole month.

During that period, she did not communicate with anyone. She was not like the former Mou Girl who liked to please everyone. Instead, she seemed like an ordinary staff member of the crew.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhang Chen looked down at Zhang Ziyi.

"Can you please?"

"No!" Zhang Chen refused without even thinking about it.

He knew what Zhang Ziyi wanted.

He has been keeping a low profile for the past month, and has not asked Zhang Chen for anything. He has been helping out in the crew like a nobody.

Isn't it just to leave a good impression in front of him, and then bet that she will be soft-hearted and let her go?

Zhang Chen had seen through this little trick a long time ago.

"Then" Zhang Ziyi gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, "Can we not let this movie be shown in mainland China?"

Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Ziyi strangely and asked, "Do you think a movie of this theme can be shown in mainland China?"

"Isn't there an abridged version?"

"Abridged version" Zhang Chen understood, "We'll talk about it later."

For the majority of netizens, the passionate scenes between Zhang Ziyi and Tony Leung Chiu-wai are resources that they must try their best to get.

As for the castrated version, it will depend on whether the market needs it.

The idea of this movie itself is a bit problematic. If Ang Lee still shoots it according to the original plan, Zhang Chen might really prevent this movie from being released in theaters.

"Thank you, Director Zhang!" Zhang Ziyi bowed deeply and walked away with her head down.

Zhang Chen looked at Zhang Ziyi, who looked much more depressed, and smiled.

Memoirs of a Geisha? How nice it would be to just experience it for real.

In some ways, "Lust, Caution" is much more popular around the world than "Memoirs of a Geisha".

But these are just trivial matters to Zhang Chen.

Now there is something extremely troublesome waiting for him.

Moreover, it has lasted for a full half month.

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles
After Zhang Chen returned home, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he took a few deep breaths at the door, patted his face hard, and after he forced a smile, he slowly opened the door.

"I am back!"

After Zhang Chen changed his shoes and looked up, he saw the sofa in the center of the living room that had been moved away. Liu Yifei, Avril Lavigne, and Taylor Swift were busy.

The thing they were busy with was none other than a musical instrument they received after filming the MV for Zhang Chen.

Liu Yifei——Bass

Avril Lavigne – drums
Taylor Swift – Guitar

"You guys." Zhang Chen forced a smile. "You're all divas, why do you have to be my band at my concert?"

"What's wrong with being a diva? There are so many so-called divas in this world, but there is only one Leon." Avril answered as a matter of course, still beating the drums in her hands, "Go ask how many singers in this world are willing to play the band for you for free."

"Yes, I heard that the Lincoln band has publicly asked if you need them to perform at your concert again this time. They said they are very much looking forward to it." Taylor Swift also echoed.

"That's right. Instead of letting outsiders enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention, it's better for us to come!" Liu Yifei also expressed her opinion.

Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, and Liu Yifei are all contracted artists of Morning Glory Entertainment in both countries.

There were already many well-known singers who wanted to volunteer to play in Zhang Chen's band, not to mention their own artists helping their boss, so there was no psychological burden at all.

"Liu Qianqian, you should know what this means, right?" Zhang Chen walked up to Liu Yifei and looked at her seriously, trying to read something from her face.

"I know." Liu Yifei curled her lips indifferently, "You can take risks, but I can't follow you?"

"You!" Zhang Chen felt as if his breath was stuck in his chest. "You don't even know..."

"What do you not know?" Liu Yifei looked up into Zhang Chen's eyes. "Isn't it just a security issue? My father told me a few days ago that a new batch of security forces will be stationed by your side. What are you afraid of!"

Zhang Chen opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain to the little girl.

This is not a threat from the outside at all.

And this matter is also part of Zhang Chen's plan.

“Leon, don’t worry. We have held so many concerts and have never seen anyone have an accident at a concert. We will just make the security check at the door more strict.”

When it comes to holding concerts, Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift are more experienced than Zhang Chen.

These two have held at least hundreds of concerts of all sizes over the years, and they simply don't believe the concerns expressed by Liu Yifei.

"You really are..." Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly.

"Xiao Xue, help me pass on a message to those cities that want to host the concert." Zhang Chen instructed Xue Yining who was following him: "Just say this..."
