The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 419: Was Zhang Chen's paper ghostwritten?

Who has Zhang Chen "dealt with" in the entertainment industry over the years?
Even if you are not from this circle, you can still tell something about it.

First of all, right after Zhang Chen became famous at the Grammy Awards, a new generation representative from Hong Kong named Xie tried to take advantage of Zhang Chen's popularity and was publicly humiliated by Zhang Chen at the awards ceremony, to the point that Xie broke the trophy and walked away.

Later, it was reported that it was because of Zhang Chen that this person, Xie, was sentenced to serving a real sentence after fleeing after a car accident. Otherwise, given the strength of the other party's agency, he would most likely have been sentenced to a few months of community service.

Afterwards, Zhang Chen, as if to consolidate his position in the circle, directly challenged the status of his predecessors.

At the same award ceremony, Zhang Chen directly implied that Tian Zhen, the big sister of the mainland music scene who was showing signs of becoming a big star, which directly broke down the big sister's defense.

It was also from this time that everyone began to take seriously this emerging but underage singing star.

After Zhang Chen established his position in the mainland music scene, ordinary singers, even veteran singers, dared not do anything to Zhang Chen.

But this does not include those who have unclean nature to begin with.

Zang Tianshuo, a man whose reputation was already well-known both at home and abroad and who everyone in Hong Kong had to respectfully call "Big Brother", had to pay money to guarantee his safety when he went to Yanjing to hold a concert.

But such a ruthless person in the circle was framed by Zhang Chen and there is still no hope of him being released.

After that, with one Grammy trophy after another in his hands and the attention from the upper echelons, Zhang Chen established an unshakable position in the circle, both openly and secretly.

After that, he extended his hand to the field of Internet. The fierce battle between Chenguang and Baidu forced Baidu, the largest search engine company in China with a market value of over 10 billion yuan, to surrender.

Zhang Chen's reputation also grew stronger.

Some people also heard that Zhang Chen, the culprit who accidentally fell into the water on the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", was arrested by local gangs during the recording of the show.

Many people suspected that it was Zhang Chen who designed the sewing machine for the woman to step into.

This is a sewing machine from a small Southeast Asian country. I wonder how many gene fragments will remain in this woman's body when she comes out.

It was also from this time that some people in the circle began to secretly call Zhang Chen the "living king of hell."

Although this title is not as popular as "boss", it is more awe-inspiring.

In addition to these, some people actually have another question: where did the reporter who leaked the "intimate" photos of Zhang Chen and Liu Yifei on the set go?

But no one has delved into this issue.

In short, Zhang Chen seems to have been doing only one thing since his debut until now - suppressing his competitors.

Although it may be simply to clear the obstacles on the way forward, it is undeniable that Zhang Chen is targeting people who already have some problems themselves.

Just like those artists from Hong Kong, the reason why some of them cannot enter the mainland market is because Zhang Chen is behind it.

There is no conflict of interest between these people and Zhang Chen at all, but this also makes many people feel that Zhang Chen may just be simply helping the company's contracted artists to clear obstacles and reduce competitors.

"Do you think that the things I did were to suppress others?"

Zhang Chen's words brought everyone back to reality from their memories.

Even Zhang Huijun looked at Zhang Chen with the same confusion as everyone else.

Is not it?
"Let me say something a little arrogant." Zhang Chen sneered, "Even if I don't conflict with certain people, I can still surpass them based on my own abilities. It just takes a little more time."

Fortunately, Zhang Chen used the word "surpass" instead of saying "step underfoot" in public.

But everyone can also automatically translate it into a more appropriate adjective in their mind.

“Everyone, think about the background color of the land under our feet.”

Zhang Chen pointed at the ground under his feet, but he certainly was not referring to the floor or soil on the surface.

Many people can also understand the real answer to Zhang Chen’s question - red.

"So, we must stick to our original intentions in everything we do. Anyone who does not conform to the core values will be abandoned by this society." Zhang Chen said seriously, with a warning tone, "From a businessman's perspective, I naturally hope that the works accumulated by the company over the years can continue to bring stable profits to the company."

"But!" Zhang Chen raised a finger, "What if the actor who plays a certain role in a movie in my company gets into trouble in the future?"

"It may be okay now, but as our industry develops, various rules will follow. A healthy industry must not be allowed to grow wildly."

"So, I think there will definitely be relevant clauses in the future to prohibit bad artists from being active in front of the public, because such people do not deserve to be loved by everyone, let alone be called idols."

"The cultural industry of any country is a product that determines the thinking of the people of that country, so people with serious flaws in their thoughts, views, and behaviors should not be given the opportunity to become national idols."

"Otherwise, the entire society will spiral out of control."

“It is a common phenomenon to imitate one’s idol.”

"So according to this possibility, if my company's work uses an artist who may become famous in the future, then this work will most likely be banned."

"From a profit perspective, my company will lose a revenue stream, which is unacceptable to any company."

Zhang Chen was speaking eloquently on the stage, and the expressions of the people below became more and more solemn as they listened.

Zhang Chen's words frightened many people who had come into contact with the bad side of the circle.

They don’t know whether Zhang Chen’s words will come true, but even if it doesn’t come true now, there is a great possibility that it will become a reality in the future.

Because some people know that Zhang Chen will take office when the Federation of Literary and Art Circles changes its leadership in September this year.

Although it should not be one of the existing positions, it should be an extremely important position.

If Zhang Chen promotes this matter in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, then what Zhang Chen says now will most likely become a reality in the future.

Even if it cannot be promoted in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, based on Chenguang Entertainment's status in the mainland, it can form an "unwritten rule" in the industry.

"Zhang Chen, can you give us an example? What do you think an artist will do in the future that will cause a TV series or movies to be banned because of him?"

Zhang Huijun's question was more of a reminder to the students who were eavesdropping outside than a question he asked himself.

Zhang Chen saw Zhang Huijun looking out the window and understood what the principal meant. He hesitated for a moment and said, "First of all, the three evils of society are definitely not acceptable."

"Well, is there anything else?" Zhang Huijun felt that students should know the three social evils, so he did not ask specifically.

"Others?" Zhang Chen smiled coldly. "I dare not say anything about the others, but the crooked butt will definitely be banned. Even if the higher-ups don't take action, I will force other companies in the industry to ban him together."

As he said that, Zhang Chen looked out the window and said, "If you are brave enough, just give it a try!"

Zhang Huijun looked at the frightened eyes of the students outside the window who heard Zhang Chen's words, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although it may not be completely effective, at least with Zhang Chen's words as a basis, his students will consider the consequences before doing things.

"Zhang Chen, isn't that..." Zhang Huijun took over the defense completely. After a moment's silence, he asked another question, "It's a bit too absolute. After all, some people have made some contributions in the industry. If we deny all the previous efforts of this person just because he made a mistake, isn't that a bit too cold-blooded?"

"Principal, can you tell me how many graduates come out of our school every year?" Zhang Chen did not directly answer Zhang Huijun's question, but asked a seemingly unrelated question. "If all majors are added together, the number is about 400."

"Let's just talk about acting majors who are active on screen. How much is it approximately?"

"For example, there are 06 people in your class of 28."

"So among all the art schools, how many people graduate from related majors each year, and how many of them graduate from the acting department?"

This time, Zhang Huijun thought for a long time, and after a full minute he gave an approximate number: "In the past two years, the number of people taking art exams nationwide is about one million, and the number of admitted people is about more than 20, of which nearly are from the performance department."

Through the question and answer session, the two of them figured out the number of newcomers that enter the entertainment industry every year.

After hearing this, Zhang Huijun also understood why Zhang Chen asked these questions.

"Zhang Chen, what do you mean?" Zhang Huijun said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "The entertainment industry is always full of newcomers, and there are countless people waiting for an opportunity to replace someone else?"

"That's right!" Zhang Chen nodded affirmatively. "Compared to the artists who make a name for themselves every year, there are more fresh graduates who disappear over time. There are hundreds of thousands of them every year. Even in the small category of actors, there are tens of thousands of people waiting for an opportunity every year."

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen glanced out the window with a smile, and also looked at the examiners present: "Do you think the market will really collapse if someone is missing?"

Everyone fell silent.

No one has ever faced this problem squarely before.

Or no one dares to think about this problem.

Now after Zhang Chen's in-depth investigation, they also understood a truth.

They have countless competitors. If they are lucky enough to become famous in the future, they must be careful in doing things. If they accidentally give their competitors opportunities, there will be countless people waiting for the opportunity to drag you into the abyss.

Colleagues are the biggest enemies in this circle.

Never let your peers seize the opportunity.

This is what Zhang Chen meant in this passage.

Some people listened to it, but some people didn't think so.

"I do have a different opinion. If it's someone like Zhang Chen, maybe you can be an exception."

A discordant voice rang out in the defense classroom.

Everyone looked and saw that it was a very young teacher.

"Teacher Huang, what do you think?" Zhang Chen looked at Huang Lei with a smile.

"We all know how much effort Zhang Chen has put into this industry, and you have so many industries in this industry. Even if you are hated or even abandoned by the public, you can still rely on the company behind you to stay on the screen."

Huang Lei knocked the table with his pen in hand: "So in the end, you still have to have strong personal abilities."

Zhang Chen looked up and down at Teacher Huang, who was only 35 years old and had already taught 10 classes of students.

He always felt that the teacher's words had a hidden meaning.

"If Mr. Huang really thinks so." Zhang Chenmi narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled brightly, "Then why don't you try it?"

"No, no, no! I dare not commit a crime under the nose of a big boss like you." Huang Lei raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, showing his signature smile, "I'm talking about you. I don't think I would do anything bad myself."

"Mr. Huang, do you mean that I have done something bad?"

"No, I mean in the future, it's possible. Let's assume that if you do something bad, you should be forgiven by everyone."

Huang Lei made a lot of "patches", as if he was afraid that Zhang Chen would misunderstand.

But Zhang Chen felt a little disgusted because of his unnecessary ideas?

In the eyes of this teacher, is Zhang Chen a student who might do bad things in the future?
"Teacher Huang." Zhang Chen also raised his lips and looked at Huang Lei, "I think that people should never think that they can do whatever they want just because they have a certain status and ignore everyone."

Zhang Chen didn't say anything about himself.

It also did not say who it was.

The person in this sentence can be Zhang Chen or anyone else.

But when Huang Lei heard this, it was specifically referring to him.

In an instant, Huang Lei's face turned extremely ugly.

He had never seen such a disrespectful guy.

After all, he is this guy's teacher. In the Beijing circle where seniority is the key, people with a higher generation have an advantage to a certain extent.

When he first stayed on at the school to work after graduating with a master's degree, he didn't feel much about it.

But after all these years, he is extremely glad for the decision he made.

Many of the well-known figures in the circle today are students he taught.

This made him highly respected in the circle.

Until I met Zhang Chen.

Not to mention respect, Zhang Chen didn't even say hello to him.

Even when he wanted to seek investment from Chenguang Entertainment for his first TV series "A Time to Live and a Time to Die", which he wrote and directed two years ago, he was turned away by Zhang Chen's assistant.

This dealt a heavy blow to his self-esteem.

You don’t even invest in the TV series starring your own school or your own teacher?
Then what is the purpose of this student?
"Zhang Chen, the other day in the office, I heard Lao Wang say that you asked your secretary to write this paper?" Huang Lei looked at Zhang Chen with a smile, "So I said that sometimes it's really good to have money, and someone can do everything for you."

After these words were spoken, the whole place fell into dead silence.

　I don’t know if it’s a stereotype, but I think Huang should be a very arrogant person. He is a man who dares to teach the world champion head coach to play basketball. He is very fatherly.

　　There is a protagonist who wears a teacher's identity on his head. According to his personality
　　This is a reasonable way to do things, right?

　　My arrangement is not reckless, it should be logical, right?
　　It doesn’t matter if it’s not realistic. In my book anyway, you can just assume that I set him up with this personality.

　　If you want to spray, spray gently!

　　The dog's head saves his life!
