The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 418 Zhang Chen's thesis? No, this is the code of conduct for the future of the entertainment industry!

"I say, can you do this?"

Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei who had tied her hair into a ponytail and started typing on the keyboard, and asked uncertainly, "We are from Beijing Film Academy, not the Central Conservatory of Music."

"So what? Just tell me if my topic is worth exploring." Liu Yifei stared at the screen, her fingers kept tapping the keyboard, and she didn't forget to answer Zhang Chen's question, "I am a beneficiary of this road myself."

"Actually, you can write it." Zhang Chen thought about it and decided to tell the little girl the name of the paper she had written before. "For example, a paper on the topic of "A Brief Discussion on the Creativity of Actors"."

"The creativity of an actor?" Liu Yifei raised her head and rolled her eyes at Zhang Chen. "Do you think I have achieved more as an actor or as a musician?"

"Well," Zhang Chen was really stumped by this question, "They all seem to be average?"

boom!
There was an extra pillow on Zhang Chen’s chest.

"Compared to you, a beast, they are indeed a little worse!" Liu Yifei turned back dissatisfiedly, "But you forced me to learn a lot of music theory since I was a child. Besides, my fame can be attributed to the variety show "The Voice of China". Those dramas are just icing on the cake."

"You" Zhang Chen smacked his lips and said helplessly, "Just be happy."

"Just wait and see! I'll get you first place in the defense!"

6 month 30 day.

For the 06 graduates of Beijing Film Academy, the world they live in is different from the outside world.

Because of Huang Jianxiang's remarks during the commentary of the match between Italy and Australia in the World Cup three days ago, online public opinion, media opinion and public opinion were divided into three camps.

After the game on the 27th, the three factions had a heated debate over Huang Jianxiang's "passionate" commentary.

Among them, his colleague Zhang Bin couldn't help but criticize Huang Jianxiang's commentary as "losing his voice, losing his composure, being rude, and being abnormal", which shows how unprofessional this commentary was in the eyes of some people.

On the Internet, netizens are also debating fiercely on major portals, BBSs, forums, blogs, and the most important public opinion platform, Weibo.

Among them, the "Huang supporters" believe that Huang Jianxiang's commentary is passionate and has personality, and this segment of commentary is a classic. The middle faction believes that Huang Jianxiang's commentary is passionate, but violates the neutral position, and should not be sarcastic about the Australian team that lost the game, which shows a lack of basic respect and professional ethics.

The "anti-Huang faction" believes that Huang Jianxiang's views are extreme and may cause adverse social impacts, and he should take the initiative to apologize or even be held accountable.

Many netizens also recorded some local dialect versions and mobile phone ringtone versions to imitate the commentary, and some netizens adapted the commentary into "Real Estate Market Version" and "China Mobile Version" to satirize reality.

In newspapers, various newspapers have published commentaries on the incident, and the views are divided into three camps: left, center and right. Some foreign media have also expressed their concern about the incident, including Reuters, BBC, Sydney Morning Herald, Italian media, etc.

In fact, the host industry can also be regarded as a type of artist, but it has certain differences from actors and singers.

This is mainly because the host is more tied to the public and the TV station where he works.

However, the public rarely notices the management companies behind actors and singers.

The former relies on the reputation of the TV station to gain attention, while actors and singers rely more on their own works to gain fame.

This raises a question: when an actor or singer goes viral, it may only affect one person, and the agency behind him can largely hide behind the scenes to avoid public criticism. However, if a host goes viral, the TV station will also be collectively criticized by the public.

If they are hosts in Hong Kong or Taiwan, their identities are actually not much different from those of actors or singers, and their appearances on shows are also coordinated according to their schedules.

If there is such a host in the country, he will be scheduled to appear on a certain program according to his schedule. At present, there is only one host, Mr. He.

Among them, Teacher He is an Arabic teacher at Beijing Foreign Studies University. He is a colleague of Zhang Chen’s father Zhang Zhiguo and they have a certain relationship.

Some TV hosts are so important that they far outweigh the TV station's popularity, and they have such strong backgrounds that even the station director has to give them some courtesy.

Obviously, Teacher He is such a host who can receive such treatment in the mainland at this stage.

The topic of how hosts can keep up with the times and break free from the shackles of television stations is also a topic worth discussing in major art schools.

"In addition to the awkward position of hosts in today's entertainment industry that I just mentioned, in fact, we actors and singers can try to develop in different directions.

Personally, I should have debuted as a singer, and only after the TV series I starred in were aired did I gain a foothold in the mainland market. But if I didn’t have this identity as a singer, it might have taken me a longer time to become well-known.

So I think that if artists have the opportunity, they can try different tracks. Actors, singers, hosts, etc. are all paths worth exploring. Perhaps an inadvertent attempt will bring us a huge surprise.

so."

Liu Yifei, a graduate of the Class of 06 of Beijing Film Academy, is currently outlining the contents of her thesis on the podium.

Sitting below, in addition to teachers Wang Jinsong and Huang Lei from the Acting Department, there were also several people like Tian Zhuangzhuang from the Directing Department.

Even several school leaders came specially.

In addition to those inside the classroom, there were many lower grade students lying outside the windows.

It can be said that the defense of the 02-06 Acting Class was the time when students had to face the most examiners since the founding of Beijing Film Academy.

"You taught me this?"

"No, she wrote it herself."

“The angle is quite novel.”

Wang Jinsong and Zhang Chen were sitting in the first row, whispering to each other about what Liu Yifei was saying on the podium.

Liu Yifei on the stage also quickly outlined her paper.

Next is the defense session.

"How about." Wang Jinsong looked at Liu Yifei who was looking forward to it on the stage, then turned his head to look at Zhang Chen, "As the brother, you ask?"

"Teacher Wang, it's not good for me as a student to sit in the examiner's seat. Now you let me ask questions. Isn't that against the rules?" Zhang Chen was speechless.

"I think Mr. Wang's suggestion is a good one."

Zhang Chen looked to the other side and found that the person who spoke was the "culprit" sitting there.

"Principal Zhang, there are so many people watching us." Zhang Chen pointed behind him and out the window.

Zhang Huijun also looked in the direction Zhang Chen pointed, and saw teachers and students occupying the entire classroom inside and outside.

Today, those who want to see the big star Zhang Chen include not only leaders like him, but also teachers and students at all levels.

"Everyone is here to see you." Zhang Huijun leaned over to Zhang Chen's ear and whispered, "You can't let your fellow juniors down, right?"

Zhang Chen was extremely speechless, as if he would not go on stage to defend his thesis later.

I was just afraid that he would be dissatisfied because the questions I asked Liu Yifei were too difficult.

He just couldn't figure it out, has his reputation in the circle become like this now?

However, seeing that Liu Yifei on the stage had gone from being full of confidence to beginning to have some self-doubt, Zhang Chen knew that he couldn't drag it on any longer. If this continued, the little girl would have to think too much.

"Student Liu Yifei," Zhang Chen looked up at Liu Yifei and smiled at the little girl. "Have you ever thought that your special situation is not of reference value to ordinary students?"

Zhang Chen's subtext is that you, Liu Yifei, have me, Zhang Chen, to protect you, so you have no worries about resources and can of course develop in multiple areas as you please.

But for ordinary students, it is more important to focus on one industry. Even if they want to cross over, they have to wait until they have a certain degree of fame before considering it.

"I"

When Liu Yifei saw that it was Zhang Chen who asked her a question, she was visibly stunned for a while.

But she reacted quickly because this question was what she imagined the examiners would ask.

After all, even her class teacher Wang Jinsong had previously suggested that she write such an outrageous paper as "On How to Cling to Someone in the Circle", so how could she not consider this situation?

Although she was surprised that the examiner turned out to be Zhang Chen, it did not prevent her from answering the questions.

“In fact, for everyone, when you choose something you have never tried before, you cannot be 100% sure whether you are really suitable for developing in this way.

Often you can only know if something is right for you after you’ve tried it.

So I think instead of going on an unsuitable path, it is better to try more options at the very beginning.

As for whether objective factors such as each person's economic conditions can support us to make such a choice, I think this is itself a question of trade-offs we need to make when choosing between multi-line development or single-line development.

And I don’t deny that people with better conditions have certain advantages in this regard.

But you can't deny that in any industry, people with better conditions have the upper hand.

So I think the question asked by Mr. Zhang Chen, whether I am an exception, is not comprehensive.

And I think we can't ignore the existence and significance of some situations just because they rarely happen."

This should be the most serious time Liu Yifei has been in front of Zhang Chen.

I didn't expect the little girl's thinking to be so clear.

Could it be that his body was taken away?
Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei on the stage with curiosity, thinking whether he should go up and knock on her head to see if the thing had been swapped.

The other examiners whispered to each other, and no one continued to ask questions.

Since Zhang Chen asked such a sensitive question, it didn't matter whether they asked other questions or not.

"Okay, Liu Yifei, your defense is over." an examiner announced.

"Is this the end?" Liu Yifei's serious expression turned silly and cute again when she heard this. She blinked and asked tentatively, "How about asking a few more questions?"

"No need. Your article "On the Necessity and Feasibility of Artists' Multi-Purpose Development" is very valuable for reference, and your answer is also very good."

"Okay!" Liu Yifei took a step to the side, walked out from behind the podium and bowed slightly, "Thank you, teachers."

After saying that, he picked up his things and walked out the door.

Before leaving, he deliberately glared at Zhang Chen in the front row.

"Hahaha, you two really are..." Zhang Huijun saw Liu Yifei's little action, and smiled to Zhang Chen, "Are you guys like this normally?"

Zhang Chen had long been immune to the girl's threats and shrugged nonchalantly: "Yeah, she is usually so disrespectful."

"I guess the only person in the world who dares to be so mean to you, besides your elders, is Yifei?"

"How could she dare to be mean to me?" Zhang Chen said stubbornly, "She was..."

"Alright, alright, I don't want to hear about your little hobbies." Zhang Huijun interrupted Zhang Chen's explanation. He pointed at the stage and said to Zhang Chen with a smile, "I've been sitting here for so long because I want to hear what you, the boss of the largest entertainment company in the mainland, have to say about our industry."

"I heard from Wang Jinsong that your thesis is related to the future development of the cultural field. This is the main purpose of my coming here."

The more Zhang Huijun spoke, the more serious his expression became.

Others may come to watch the fun, while some may come to see Zhang Chen, the big star and big boss.

But as the president of one of the three major art colleges in the country, he is not so idle.

If he hadn't seen the topic of Zhang Chen's thesis given to him by Wang Jinsong, he wouldn't have put down his work and come here to listen to the student's defense.

Just as he said, Zhang Chen is the boss of the largest entertainment company in China, a world-famous superstar, and the uncrowned king of the domestic Internet public opinion arena. Zhang Chen's future prospects are, to a certain extent, a weather vane for the future of the domestic entertainment industry.

This has certain reference significance for the entire Nortel, the whole country, and even the whole world.

This is no longer an ordinary graduate thesis defense.

It is very likely to be the starting point for future changes.

"Then I won't waste your time. Let's start early and finish early."

Zhang Chen didn't think there was anything special about it.

Under everyone's gaze, he slowly stood up and walked to the podium.

The examiners in the audience, including Zhang Huijun and several other school leaders, also found Zhang Chen's paper from a pile of student papers - "On the Healthy Development of the Cultural Industry"

A very big and impressive topic.

If ordinary people discuss this topic, it must be a look into the future.

But if this person is Zhang Chen, then it is no longer Zhan Wang.

But - set the rules!

This is also the main purpose of all the teachers, including some well-informed students, coming here today.

The most powerful person in the mainland entertainment industry wants to talk about the future healthy development of the industry. For those who are about to enter this circle, it will undoubtedly be a future "code of conduct"!
Zhang Chen on the stage looked at the pairs of expectant and nervous eyes below and said calmly: "I believe everyone has heard about some of the things I have done over the years, so let me tell you why I do this."

　Recently, I've been reading a lot.

　　In fact, the easiest way is to jump directly to the movie release.

　　But this would lack a lot of plot foreshadowing.

　　After thinking about it, I decided to make myself suffer and scratch my hair more.
　　In addition, we are only about 30 votes away from the monthly ticket bonus, so come on everyone!
