The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 451 It's them, and it can only be them
"Is your foot okay?"

After a period of commotion, Tong Gang finally returned to Zhang Chen from the chaotic crowd.

He also heard what Zhang Chen said after the roar. He was really worried that Zhang Chen was injured. It would be troublesome if it affected the subsequent award ceremony.

"Director Tong, I want to ask you a question." Zhang Chen did not answer Tong Gang's question, but looked at the bodyguard who was following him not far away.

Tong Gang was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Zhang Chen's standing posture and saw that he didn't seem to be injured. He felt relieved and casually said, "Ask."

"Does Director Tong know who invited Yifei to perform at the Hundred Flowers Awards?"

"Who invited Yifei?" Tong Gang looked at Zhang Chen with a strange expression. "Each Hundred Flowers Awards is organized by the China Film Association, which entrusts 108 key cinema managers under the China Film Distribution and Exhibition Association to form a preliminary selection committee. After approval by the organizing committee, the selection committee will submit the finalists to the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles for review, and finally determine the 10 candidate films for the Hundred Flowers Awards."

Tong Gang probably thought that Zhang Chen was not very clear about the selection rules of the Hundred Flowers Awards, so he introduced the selection process of the Hundred Flowers Awards. After that, he looked at Zhang Chen puzzledly: "This is common sense for filmmakers, right? Any questions?"

"I'm asking about invitations to guest performers."

"That's hard to say for sure." Although Tong Gang was puzzled as to why Zhang Chen asked so clearly, he still explained, "Because this year's Hundred Flowers Awards is jointly sponsored by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Film Association, and the Lin'an Prefecture Government, but the invitation of the performing guests depends on who specifically hosts the awards ceremony."

Generally, for a large-scale event, there will be an organizer who initiates the event and the organizer who takes over the task.

After the organizer obtains the qualification to host an event, it will bring in a certain number of co-organizers to form the overall framework of the event.

In many cases, the organizing unit may be undertaken by private capital.

The co-organizers are even more complicated. They may be some performing arts teams or some sponsors. The composition is very complex.

Therefore, Tong Gang was not very clear about which organizer undertook this event.

"Director Tong, give me a call and ask."

Zhang Chen didn't look at Tong Gang, but kept paying attention to the movements in the distance.

If he doesn't leave, the stars following him will be even less likely to leave.

Everyone was wondering why Zhang Chen didn't move after the crowd dispersed.

Could it be that the fan just now stepped on his foot and he was relieving the pain on the spot?

Tong Gang is someone who thinks so.

After muttering to himself that he was just trying to save face, he slowly took out his cell phone.

"Hello, I'm Tong Gang"

Not long after Tong Gang made the call, he received a text message from the other party.

He didn't even look at it and handed it directly to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen looked at the string of words above, narrowed his eyes slightly and fell silent.

"Why are you acting so weird all of a sudden?" Tong Gang glanced at the content of the text message, didn't think there was anything wrong, and put the phone in his pocket.

"Isn't Director Tong curious about why I'm asking so many questions?"

"Ok?"

Zhang Chen didn't say anything else, but turned around and pointed at his ribs.

Tong Gang looked at Zhang Chen in confusion before looking in the direction Zhang Chen pointed.

At first glance, he didn't notice anything wrong.

But soon, he noticed something strange in Zhang Chen's black suit jacket.

The expression on his face instantly became extremely serious: "Just now?"

When he saw that there were no water stains on Zhang Chen's clothes, he felt relieved.

"Correct!"

"Are you suspicious?"

"Yes!"

Tong Gang closed his lips and said no more.

Smart people don't need too much explanation. He instantly understood the logic behind Zhang Chen's strange behavior just now.

This matter has become a big deal.
Tong Gang looked around. Besides the puzzled faces of the fans around him, there was also the group of hesitant stars behind him.

At the same time, he also noticed the direction that Zhang Chen had been looking at.

He looked around and saw that there seemed to be several figures flashing on the dim path.

"Have you caught it?"

“It’s unclear, but there will be results soon.”

"Calm down and let the hat handle it."

"Director Tong." Zhang Chen turned around and looked at Tong Gang coldly, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think will happen if I shout out that I was stabbed?"

"Don't!" Tong Gang was startled and said in a low voice, "Don't be impulsive."

"I'm calm." Zhang Chen said calmly, turned around and walked, "Let's go, the traffic has been blocked for a long time."

Tong Gang couldn't help but look at the movement not far away, and after a while he caught up with Zhang Chen's footsteps.

"What are you going to do?"

"How to do it?" Zhang Chen sneered, "It seems that my previous methods were too gentle, making some people think that I am easy to bully."

"But this wasn't done by our own people, was it? I don't think the inviter was any of these three companies."

"I didn't say which of the three companies it was, but this party that invited me must be involved, right?"

Tong Gang didn't say anything.

He is now extremely grateful that this matter does not seem to have a direct relationship with the three organizers.

if
He couldn't even imagine the consequences.

"Director Tong, how did an overseas event company get the right to host this award ceremony?"

"This"

After hearing Zhang Chen's question, Tong Gang's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he didn't know how to answer this question.

"Don't worry, Director Tong. I still trust our own people." Zhang Chen laughed, "Didn't I ask just now? It was an event company controlled by the United States that invited Yifei."

"Yes!" Tong Gang nodded hurriedly, "It's definitely them!"

It is this company and only this company.

Zhang Chen did not say anything else, but walked past a group of media reporters who wanted to take pictures with him and entered the award ceremony venue before Tong Gang.

Tong Gang didn't care about Zhang Chen's behavior. He put on a cold face and ignored other people's attempts to get along. He followed Zhang Chen in.

The crew participating in the Hundred Flowers Awards today is actually similar in composition to the crew participating in the Golden Rooster Awards and Golden Horse Awards.

For example, "Zhang Side", "Kung Fu", "House of Flying Daggers" and "The Myth" were already waiting at the scene early.

Feng Xiaogang's film "A World Without Thieves" did not win the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards after being suppressed by Zhang Chen for a while, but it also won the Hundred Flowers Awards after its release in the first two months.

Moreover, with the support of Chenguang Cinema, "A World Without Thieves" earned 2.4 million yuan at the box office, proving with his strength that he is a commercial director who can stand the test of the market.

"Boss! You're here!" Feng Xiaogang saw Zhang Chen coming, and with a flushed face, he waved his hand to dismiss the people around him who were flattering him, and came to Zhang Chen, "It has taken you so long, is it because the fans are too enthusiastic?" After saying this, he still felt that his joke was very humorous, and laughed a few times to himself.

"Yeah." Zhang Chen glanced at this guy who was talking about something irrelevant. "You should be doing pretty well recently, right?"

"No, no, it's all thanks to my boss's advice, otherwise my movie wouldn't have such a big box office."

"I didn't tell you anything."

"Ahahahahaha" Feng Xiaogang didn't know how he had offended his boss and could only laugh awkwardly twice.

"Okay, go sit down by yourself, don't stand here."

"But many people want to meet you, boss."

"I'm busy. I'm not meeting anyone today." Zhang Chen waved his hand irritably.

Feng Xiaogang shrank his head and ran to explain to others in shame.

He had just boasted that he would introduce someone to someone else, but now it seems that even Zhang Yimou and Cheng Long, two old friends of Zhang Chen in the same circle, will not have the chance to chat with their boss today.

Although he didn't know the reason, Feng Xiaogang still went ahead and explained it to everyone.

As for the reason.

His boss doesn't want to see him, does he need a reason?

"How about it, can we go see Zhang Chen?"

"No, my boss might be too tired today, so let's not disturb him."

"Tired?" Liu Dehua looked at Zhang Chen in the front row and found that he was indeed resting with his eyes closed. He nodded in understanding and said, "The incident at the beginning of the month was indeed very stressful."

"Who says it's not true?" Feng Xiaogang was quite emotional, but also a little proud. "But this matter is difficult for you to handle, but my boss still handled it beautifully."

"Yeah." Liu Dehua looked at Feng Xiaogang enviously. "The people in your company are so lucky that they can withstand such an investigation. If it were any other company, those people would start to panic before they even enter the company's finance office."

"I admire the boss a lot," Feng Xiaogang said with a relaxed look. "I used to resent the boss for asking all the stars to use the company's accounts like the employees, but after this incident, I realized how wise this decision was."

"Let alone your company, I heard that many companies in the mainland have already started internal investigations, fearing that their company will be the next to be investigated."

"Hey! That's going to be fun. I want to see how we can fill the hole that has been there for so many years." Feng Xiaogang laughed, and felt relieved when he saw the gloomy faces of the film and television company bosses around him. "I wonder if Lao Mouzi will be implicated because of this matter."

"His boss is not a good person."

"Zhang Weiping." Liu Dehua nodded in agreement. "I heard that he didn't even go to Director Zhang's set. He almost lives in the company every day."

"You didn't expect that the public opinion originally directed at our company, without causing any harm to our company, would affect so many people, right?"

Liu Dehua forced a smile.

He is fine, but the problem is that other companies' butts are really not clean.

At the beginning of October, people in the circle watched Chenguang Entertainment being carried forward by public opinion with a mentality of eating spectators and watching the show.

But after Feng Xiaogang and the little girl from Morning Glory Entertainment each posted a Weibo post, many people who had benefited from the Morning Glory Group began to refute those who targeted the Morning Glory Group on the Internet.

In just two days, the direction of public opinion on the Internet took a 180-degree turn.

From that moment on, the Chenguang Group was no longer a vampire that exploited the people, but a conscientious enterprise that worked for the welfare of the general public.

In particular, some extras in Hengdian, Xiangshan and Beijing Film Studio went online to provide evidence with their real names, talking about the difficulties they had encountered since they started working in the industry, and the changes that took place after Chenguang Entertainment began to enter the film and television industry.

This directly proves the authenticity of the two short essays written by Feng Xiaogang and Yang Mi on Weibo.

If the words of the water army cannot be believed.

Then those who dare to use their ID cards to shoot videos directly on the CGT player to speak for the Morning Glory Group will have to convince those skeptical onlookers.

Especially after these people verified the identities of more than a dozen people who spoke out, and confirmed that these people were indeed low-level extras who had been hanging around in various film and television cities for many years, more people began to believe that the Morning Glory Group had truly achieved "letting the rich lead the poor."

Now, except for a few media outlets, no one dares to write articles like the Morning Glory Group’s monopoly on vampires.

They are also afraid of getting into trouble.

Afterwards, perhaps some people were unwilling to accept the result, or perhaps it was to provide more proof for everyone.

Chenguang Group was investigated for wealth.

After more than half a month of auditing, the results announced were that there were no problems.

When the authoritative media announced the news, all the negative comments disappeared.

How can this be done?
They judged others by themselves and thought that Chenguang Group would have some gray income like most companies, and believed that this was a sure win.

Because in their eyes, no company can withstand scrutiny.

But the result gave them a resounding slap in the face.

There is no problem with the accounts of the Chenguang Group, and it donates no less than 100 million to charity every year.

How is this still playing?
At the same time they were also extremely panicked.

Because a company that has no problems at all can tell a lot about itself.

It’s not a matter of the account, but the final result of “no problem”.

Sometimes there is no problem but there can be a problem.

Sometimes there are problems and sometimes there are no problems.

The fact that Chen Guang Group’s investigation result was “no problem” is very telling.

The Chenguang Group is not as weak and vulnerable as they imagined.

No matter what some people think, this round of offensive against the Morning Glory Group ended abruptly, to the astonishment of the crowd.

This caused many bosses and celebrities in the film and television industry to start self-examination and self-correction, which also left many people dumbfounded.

This incident also perfectly verifies the saying "the fish in the pond are affected by the disaster".

Although the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads has not fallen yet, people in the film and television industry will still have to be terrified for a while before they clean up their mess.

Just look at the sad faces of the people at the scene and you will know that this matter has been bothering them for a whole month.

This is also one of the hot topics in the circle recently.

Many people sat together, whispering and complaining about what had happened to them recently.

And the award ceremony came as scheduled.

The first person to appear was not the host, but the opening performance guest.

It was this guest performer that surprised many people.

"No way? Yifei?!"

"Today's opening act is Yifei?!"

"Yifei got another new song from Zhang Chen?!"

　I felt dizzy while coding this chapter, there was so much to consider.

　　You all should understand why a little loser like me is in such a dilemma, right?
