The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 422 You have no idea how terrifying Zhang Chen is!
"Okay, stop feeling sorry for yourself at home!"

"I just can't understand. I just teased him, how could I end up in this situation!"

"You are no longer employed by Beijing Film Academy. You can go to the Central Academy of Drama. I will call Principal Wang."

"Not being hired?! That's called being fired!"

"Okay, you better think about how to hide it so that Zhang Chen won't remember it."

"What? Does he still want to continue to mess with me?!"

Huang Xiaoli looked at his somewhat insane son with disappointment.

The domestic entertainment industry after the millennium no longer revolves around Zhang Chen, an international superstar.

When Zhang Chen was making his way in the domestic and international music scene, Huang Lei had already been working at the Beijing Film Academy for some time.

Among the students he taught, Hai Qing and others have also established themselves in the entertainment industry.

As his students become more and more successful, Huang Lei's status in the film and television industry is also improving year by year.

It was also from that time that he developed the bad habit of being a know-it-all. He wanted to give advice to everyone he met, regardless of whether he was proficient in the industry that others made a living from.

In the past, people in the circle would agree with Huang Lei’s words and would not argue about anything because of Huang Xiaoli’s face and Huang Lei’s identity as a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy.

This time, Huang Xiaoli also learned the whole story of what happened at Zhang Chen’s graduation defense from Zhang Huijun.

That was not at all the so-called "teasing" that Huang Lei described himself.

If there were only teachers from the school at the scene at that time, the matter could still be controlled.

But at that time, because of Zhang Chen, the classroom was surrounded by many curious students.

With so many people talking, no one could imagine what kind of consequences Huang Lei's ridicule and suspicion would have if it spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Huang Xiaoli sighed heavily. He was already 70 years old and still had to worry about his son.

"Leilei, never think about teaching others anything in the future. You can't teach those who don't know, and you won't teach those who know." Huang Xiaoli warned seriously, "This is a truth that I gradually understood after living for over 70 years. Although you are a teacher now, you must not treat everyone as your students, otherwise you will make people hate you, especially those who are in high positions and have great power!"

After he finished speaking, he saw the somewhat unconvinced expression on Huang Lei's face and sighed again: "Those powerful people you met before might have disdained to argue with you, which made you think it was nothing, but you met a tough guy this time."

"Zhang Chen is my student, right?" Huang Lei still hasn't figured it out. "He's a well-known celebrity, and he's also my student. How could he do something so tasteless and disrespectful to his teacher?"

"His reputation as an international superstar is not earned by being kind!" Huang Xiaoli felt it necessary to explain the matter in more detail. "Do you know how many open and secret struggles this kid has experienced at home and abroad to achieve his current status?!"

"Besides cleaning up some celebrities with bad behavior, what else has he done?" Huang Lei was puzzled. "I originally thought that although I am not highly respected in the circle, I have not done anything harmful to the world, so Zhang Chen should not care about it, but..."

"You!" Huang Xiaoli felt a lump in his chest after hearing this.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"Stand over there!" Huang Xiaoli stroked his chest and looked at Huang Lei with a look of disappointment. "You said you wanted to show off in front of other students, but why did you set your sights on Zhang Chen?"

"Dad, you keep saying that he is someone you can't mess with, but from what I know, the people Zhang Chen deals with are those who have dirty butts to begin with, right?" Huang Lei frowned in confusion, "If it were me, I could also get these people in!"

"Stupid!" Huang Xiaoli said angrily, "What he has done is beyond your imagination!"

"Besides sending a few people in, what else is there?" Huang Lei felt a little uneasy in his heart, "What is there that cannot be said?"

"He" Huang Xiaoli didn't know where to start for a moment.

Finally, he thought about it seriously and decided to let his son, who had been smooth sailing since he got involved in this industry, know some of the secrets that had happened in the past two years.

"Let me first talk about what the Federation of Literary and Art Circles think of him. You should have heard that he will take up a position at the Federation of Literary and Art Circles this year, right?"

"I've heard this rumor."

"Have you heard of it?" Huang Xiaoli really wanted to slap his son who had lost his mind. "Forget it. Let me continue."

Huang Xiaoli felt a little tired, but he continued: "What do you think was the reason why Zhang Chen released a special report about the Golden Rooster Awards after the Golden Rooster Awards?"

"Isn't it because he is not happy that the Golden Rooster Awards didn't give him an award?" Huang Lei wondered, "Can Zhang Chen compare to the winning works of the Golden Rooster Awards? They were all biographical films about great men."

"What if I tell you that when the award was being judged, it was someone from the Music Association who said that Zhang Chen didn't care whether he won the award or not?"

"Huh?!" Huang Lei was shocked. "Zhang Chen is from the Music Association, right?!"

"Right," Huang Xiaoli sighed, "So the Golden Rooster Awards jury from various units of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles did not arrange any awards for Zhang Chen. After all, people from Zhang Chen's own unit said so, and the jury no longer considered Zhang Chen's feelings."

"But what about Zhang Chen's reaction afterwards?" Huang Lei became even more confused.

If that's the case, why did Zhang Chen have such a big reaction after not winning the award?

He even openly led a group of people to boycott the Golden Rooster Awards.

"Do you think Zhang Chen is not sincere in what he says?"

"right"

"What if I told you that the person from the Music Association who told the jury not to care about Zhang Chen's feelings had contacted Assistant Xue who was beside Zhang Chen?"

Huang Lei: “!!!”

He stared at his father with wide eyes.

At this moment, Huang Lei felt a chill down his spine.

He didn't think that Zhang Chen's personal assistant would stab Zhang Chen in the back.

As long as you have a sound brain, you would not give up such a lucrative job that everyone envies to do such a brainless thing.

And in retrospect, Assistant Xue did not disappear from this world, so she must have done so at the instruction of her boss.

That.
why?
"You're confused, right?" Huang Xiaoli closed his eyes, as if recalling something. "I was also confused when I heard it."

"But." Huang Xiaoli opened his eyes suddenly and said word by word, "What happened later made us old guys react!"

"This kid deliberately made us do this so that he could publish the announcement with a legitimate reason!" Huang Xiaoli said this and glanced at his son, "Learn from your students. This is called establishing authority!"

"And the motive of Zhang Chen's actions cannot be explained by a simple statement of establishing authority." Huang Xiaoli felt a little scared when he said this, "He has a deeper intention!"

"What is it?" Huang Lei asked cautiously.

After hearing this, the image of Zhang Chen in her mind had changed drastically. Is this something a young man in his twenties can do?
"At that time." Huang Xiaoli stretched out a hand and pointed to the ceiling, "I was considering assigning a task to Zhang Chen."

"What mission?" Huang Lei was surprised.

"Most of the world's artists have a consensus," Huang Xiaoli said with some emotion, "that is, Zhang Chen is the most talented artist in the world in the past hundred years, and he will definitely have a place in the future world history."

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" Huang Lei disagreed. "He is just a creator of pop music."

"Everyone thought so at first, but his performance at the 'World Music Exchange' at the Temple of Heaven made us think that Zhang Chen's achievements in pop music were so dazzling that people overlooked his abilities in other areas."

Huang Xiaoli showed envy when he said this: "His singing skills, composition, and understanding of music theory are all world-class. It is hard to imagine that others would need decades of hard work to reach this threshold, but he has reached the world's top level at the young age."

"After that, he unexpectedly started making movies, the movie 'Love'." Huang Xiaoli feels it's a little unreal when he thinks about it now, "That kind of interpretation of human nature and thinking about love are simply not something an ordinary young person can understand!"

After listening to his father's description, Huang Lei finally took Zhang Chen, a world superstar who was too young, seriously.

In the past, he always thought that Zhang Chen was just lucky.

He had also heard that Zhang Chen had sought help from Tian Zhuangzhuang when filming this movie.

In his opinion, Tian Zhuangzhuang must have polished Zhang Chen's script at that time.

Therefore, Zhang Chen believed that his achievements in the film industry were due to the help of Tian Zhuangzhuang, the eldest brother among the fifth generation of directors, and a little bit of luck.

But according to his father's description, Zhang Chen's achievements in music and film were all achieved entirely on his own.

Just like his father said, is this really something a young person can do?
"Zhang Chen's achievements in music can be said to be a natural talent, but he has just started filming and he has won the Palme d'Or, which many directors cannot win in their entire lives. This..." Huang Xiaoli suddenly got stuck, as if he was looking for a suitable adjective. Finally, he concluded with an extremely affirmative tone, "He is just a monster!"

Huang Lei nodded unconsciously.

From this point of view, Zhang Chen is indeed a monster.

"Moreover, he also has a unique vision in making money." Huang Xiaoli became more and more energetic as he spoke, and his originally cloudy eyes became brighter. "The key is that he knows how to make money from abroad and invest it in China."

Hearing this, the background behind Zhang Chen's character in Huang Lei's mind turned red.

"This is one of the most important reasons why the higher-ups value him!" Huang Xiaoli said in a deep voice, "So many people want to see what other abilities Zhang Chen has that have not yet been discovered, and also want to see if Zhang Chen can do just as well in other areas!"

At this time, Huang Lei's heart was filled with envy.

But he didn't dare to say that he was jealous.

So he could only continue to listen to his father's talk with some awkwardness.

"Are you envious of Zhang Chen for being valued?" Huang Xiaoli glanced at Huang Lei, as if he saw through his son. "But do you know how Zhang Chen did it?"

"How did you do it?" Huang Lei asked subconsciously.

Shouldn't you accept it with pleasure?
What fool would resist such temptation?
"This brings us back to the Golden Rooster Awards." Huang Xiaoli narrowed his eyes slightly, "His entire purpose in this matter is to reject the good intentions of those above him!"

"Huh?!" Huang Lei was shocked.

Is there really such a fool?

"You can't figure it out, right?" Huang Xiaoli chuckled, "I couldn't figure it out at the time either."

"But then someone reminded me that Zhang Chen had a lot of assets abroad, and then I understood."

"Is it because?"

"Yeah." Huang Xiaoli took over the conversation, "He doesn't want to be constrained when investing abroad because of his identity."

"It shouldn't matter if it's just a nominal position, right?" Huang Lei didn't believe it.

"That's just ordinary business!" Huang Xiaoli sighed. "I didn't know what kind of investments Zhang Chen made in the United States before, but this year when I saw him appear on the shareholder lists of those listed companies."

Huang Lei also reacted.

Morning Light Music is okay.

But Disney, Facebook, and CGT Player are world-class media.

Based on the relationship between the United States and China, it is unimaginable that Zhang Chen could be on the shareholder list of these companies, even if his shareholding ratio is not high.

But Zhang Chen really did it.

Only then did he understand why Zhang Chen rejected the kindness over there.

“So there were two choices at that time.”

Huang Xiaoli raised a finger and said, "First, give up the position that was arranged for Zhang Chen. The reason Zhang Chen had already prepared for the higher-ups was the farce of Zhang Chen facing the Golden Rooster Awards head-on."

At this point, Huang Xiaoli glanced at his son and said, "Look at your students' plan, and then look at yourself, you are such a reckless man!"

After saying that, he was still not satisfied. He glared at Huang Lei fiercely before continuing, "Second, deal with the Golden Rooster Awards and continue to make the original arrangements for Zhang Chen."

Huang Lei was silent, he had already seen the ending.

The members of the Golden Rooster Awards jury are not just any random people; they are all members of various cultural associations under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

In retrospect, the attention Zhang Chen received in certain aspects was far more important than he had imagined.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Chen had made a stupid move at that time, and he must have paid a lot of favors to settle the matter.

Now, after listening to what his father said, he understood that every step of this matter was within Zhang Chen's expectations.

wrong!

Not expected at all!

Zhang Chen was in charge of this matter from beginning to end!

Before the Golden Rooster Awards, Zhang Chen had planned every step forward.
"Hiss——" Huang Lei took a breath of cold air.

"Are you scared now?" Huang Xiaoli said angrily, "Do you know what kind of person you have offended now?"

"Then what should I do now?" Huang Lei was completely panicked at this time.
