The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 44 Sister Mei

"I don't know either. It depends on what my parents decide." Zhang Chen answered ambiguously.

"It is said that if you are good at singing, you can also act. Look, your achievements in music have surpassed so many people. You can also consider developing a career in the film and television industry." Seeing that Zhang Chen did not give a direct answer, Han Sanping finally gave a reason.

"Thank you, Mr. Han. I will seriously consider it." Zhang Chen nodded, agreeing to the matter.

Originally, Zhang Chen just wanted to satisfy his addiction to filming, but because he is still young and there are no suitable roles, he has been suppressing this idea in his heart.

But it's just for fun. It's unrealistic for him to be a full-time actor. After he grows up, he will definitely manage the company. In the future, he can enjoy singing, acting, producing, directing, etc. He can learn some knowledge from working in various links, which is also beneficial to managing the company.

After attending the founding ceremony of China Film Corporation, a product that Zhang Chen had been paying attention to finally came out.

On February 2, OICQ, owned by Penguin, was officially launched. It is said that in the early days of this software, in order to increase the number of users, Pony Ma pretended to be a girl on the Internet to chat with people. It is not known whether this is true or not.

In order to satisfy his curiosity, Zhang Chen also registered an account on it.

He originally planned to recommend this software to people around him, but after thinking carefully for a moment, he gave up the idea.

The reason is very simple. If this software successfully goes viral and attracts more people's attention due to his recommendation, then his plan to invest in it will be ruined.

So, he just registered an account named "Zhang Chen" on it, just to take everyone by surprise. You think I am a fan of Zhang Chen? In fact, I am Zhang Chen himself!
At that time, there were very few people registered in OICQ. All the numbers registered during this period were basically five-digit numbers, including the system number 10000, Pony Ma 10001, and Zhang Chen registered with number 10201.

Zhang Chen remembered that this was the first real QQ user in his previous life. As for where the top numbers other than those of the founders went, he was more inclined to believe that these more than 100 numbers were registered during the software testing phase.

Out of curiosity, he entered the number "10001" in the friend search bar. He was curious about how Xiao Ma Ge would react.

However, Zhang Chen waited for a long time but did not receive any news that his friend had approved.

However, Zhang Chen received a friend verification message instead, prompting him that someone wanted to add him as a friend.

Zhang Chen thought, could this be the real way to start the chat with Xiao Ma Ge as mentioned in the legend?

After confirming the friend connection, Zhang Chen started chatting with the unknown netizen.

The content of the chat was normal. The other party started with the question "Are you a fan of Zhang Chen?" and then the two began a discussion about whose songs were better.

It must be said that Zhang Chen felt secretly happy when being praised in front of others.

I just don’t know if this anonymous netizen will admit that the account he is chatting with is his after meeting him in person.

But it is still early. At least we have to wait until Penguin's business progress stagnates and it encounters financial difficulties before Zhang Chen will have the opportunity to get involved and provide angel investment to Pony Ma.

Zhang Chen left a message to this unknown friend, "This software is so convenient. I really want to invest in the boss who created this software, so that I can chat with my friends around me using this software." Then he ended the chat and waited for Xiao Ma Ge to come to him.

"The King of Comedy" was released on February 2, and the beautiful actress Zhang Baizhi also made her official debut.

The next day, which was also the last rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Chen arrived at Studio 1 of the CCTV Building early.

In this year's Spring Festival Gala, the most popular singer in the Chinese music scene is naturally Richie Jen. Last year's "Heart Too Soft" overwhelmed every singer in the Chinese music scene, and this year he released another popular song "Look Over Here, Girl Across the Street".

It can be said that the Chinese music scene in the past two years has been dominated by Xiao Qi. Only a few singers such as Wang Fei, Na Ying, the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong Island, and Zhang Chen can survive in this form.

So when Zhang Chen saw Richie Jen during the break before the rehearsal, he also joked.

He said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Qi, your fans have been looking forward to you being on the Spring Festival Gala for a long time."

Although the two had met several times during previous rehearsals, they all came and left in a hurry and had never had an in-depth conversation.

Taking advantage of the fact that this was the last rehearsal today and everyone was staying, Zhang Chen also found an opportunity to go up and get to know Richie Jen.

"Zhang Chen, you are still talking about me. At least I can hold concerts. But you, on the other hand, have never held a concert or even a book signing event since your debut." Richie Jen is also a very outgoing person. When he saw Zhang Chen teasing him, he immediately retorted.

"It's almost there. According to my contract with Warner, I can consider arranging concerts starting next year." Zhang Chen laughed.

According to the cooperation with Warner, Zhang Chen needs to hold at least 00 concerts within five years starting from 5.

Five concerts were certainly far inferior to the 5 concerts in later generations, but it also marked the beginning of his official entry into this circle.

"This is great news. I'll have to book a concert ticket from you first." Richie Jen said in surprise, "This should be the big news in our music industry next year."

"Zhang Chen is going to hold a concert?" someone suddenly asked beside the two of them.

Zhang Chen and Ren Xianqi turned around and looked, then said in unison: "Sister Mei."

The person who came was the big sister of Hong Kong circle, Anita Mui.

"Celine Dion mentioned your name at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony some time ago." Anita Mui said to Zhang Chen with a smile on her face. She didn't think that the incident was shameful, but she felt that the Jade Solid Gold Awards should indeed seek changes.

As one of the founders of the Hong Kong Artist Association, she is actually very concerned about the development of the Hong Kong artist circle. And as a person who likes to support younger generations, it is really hard to understand that such an outstanding singer like Zhang Chen has no award ceremony in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong to invite him to receive an award.

At this time, Hong Kong had just returned to China not long ago, and the award ceremony remained at the original time. The same was true for Taiwan across the street.

However, it is said that Taiwan will make changes this year and expand the award scope to the entire Chinese-speaking region.

If Hong Kong Island does not make changes, the fairness of this award will be questioned as the media has written.

"Haha, I met her once backstage at the Grammy Awards," Zhang Chen explained.

At the time, he and Celine Dion were both performing guests at the Grammys at the time, so they did chat a little while preparing backstage.

　I haven't written anything in the past three days. What I'm releasing now are all my drafts. The main reason is that I want to collect everyone's opinions. I'm afraid that if I write too fast, I won't be able to correct some of the bad things you mentioned in time. The drafts will be about 50 chapters long, and the rest will refer to everyone's suggestions.

　　Finally, I ask you to vote and read the book. Now is the first round of recommendations, which is very important for a new book. Thank you all!
