The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 514

"What do you want me to do?" Liu Yifei sat down opposite Zhang Chen. "I have to catch a plane with Avril and the others for the road show later."

Perhaps she still felt that it was not enough, Liu Yifei continued: "I have never seen a director who would not go on a roadshow with the crew, busy boss Zhang."

Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei with a cold expression and sighed in his heart.

Ever since the two of them made a bet in front of Sun Fangping, they have been competing with each other.

At that time, Sun Fangping asked Zhang Chen whether he would win or lose.

After winning, Liu Yifei can make her own decisions.

He lost, and Zhang Chen married the girl.

All three knew that victory or defeat was in Zhang Chen's hands.

Because the current Grammy Awards may not be Zhang Chen’s backyard, but Zhang Chen definitely has the ability to manipulate whether a singer wins the award.

Moreover, judging from Liu Yifei's performance at this year's Grammy Awards, as long as the quality of the album is good enough, she will definitely win the Grammy Award without any doubt from the outside world.

As long as it's not some controversial award like "Best Female Pop Singer", it's fine.

As long as it is an award that can prove Liu Yifei's ability but will not arouse doubts from the outside world, Zhang Chen is fully capable of helping Liu Yifei get it.

If we help Liu Yifei organize an award, then Liu Yifei will be able to do what she likes naturally, especially the concert next year.

As long as Zhang Chen agreed that she could make her own decisions on her actions, she would have every reason to follow Zhang Chen there.

If Zhang Chen explicitly prevented Liu Yifei from winning the award.

Then, because there is a losing condition there, Liu Yifei can regard it as Zhang Chen wants to marry her.

Then she could legitimately intervene in some of Zhang Chen's dangerous behaviors in the name of "fiancée".

The idea is beautiful.

But Zhang Chen simply chose to ignore Liu Yifei's "move".

At that time, he ignored Sun Fangping's questioning and Liu Yifei's expectations and went straight back to the room.

The consequence was that Liu Yifei ignored Zhang Chenai in the days that followed.

To be honest, Zhang Chen can understand it.

The girl finally mustered up the courage to say she wanted to marry you.

In the end, you chose to ignore it. Any girl would feel dissatisfied if she were in your shoes.

But Zhang Chen was busy with the film's release and overseas plans, so he didn't have time to have a good chat with Liu Yifei alone.

I had been planning to wait until the dust settled on the movie and the issues in the United States before finding an opportunity to have a good chat.

As a result, something unexpected happened.

"You should take a look at this first."

Zhang Chen did not respond to Liu Yifei's complaints, but directly pushed all the news he had just read in front of Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei didn't look directly, but stared at Zhang Chen's face without saying anything.

Zhang Chen had a headache and had to push the things on the table forward: "Let's take a look first."

Liu Yifei closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the resentment in her heart.

When he opened his eyes, he glared at Zhang Chen opposite him before picking up a pile of news releases that Zhang Chen had pushed over to him on the table.

She wanted to see what this guy was up to.

You're not trying to use something to make yourself give up on the album, are you?

It has only been a month since the Chinese New Year. She is not like Zhang Chen, that animal, who thinks recording an album is as easy as drinking water.

She also needs to constantly familiarize herself with the melody and find the feeling before she can successfully record a complete song.

It would take at least a week for each song to reach her ideal state of perfection.

Liu Yifei was thinking about the song she was going to record when she returned home, and she began to look through the things Zhang Chen asked her to look at.

But it was just turning a page.
"When did this happen!?"

Liu Yifei threw the things in her hand away, stood up and looked at Zhang Chen.

"It just happened this morning." Zhang Chen leaned over and pushed her back across the desk, "Let's talk after you finish watching it."

Liu Yifei was anxious, but she still listened to Zhang Chen and read on patiently.

Her expression was exactly the same as Zhang Chen's when he looked at these things.

The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed, and his expression became increasingly uglier.

The hand holding the document clenched tighter and tighter.

In the end, both sides of the document had been torn by Liu Yifei's clenched hands.

"How ridiculous!" Liu Yifei slammed the table and stood up, frowning, "How shameless! It's as if your success is entirely due to her. I..."

"You what?" Zhang Chen was curious.

"Nothing." Liu Yifei blushed and changed the subject directly to continue criticizing, "Where is that shameless woman now?"

As he said that, he was about to walk out.

Zhang Chen crossed the desk and caught up with Liu Yifei: "No, why are you so excited?"

He didn't call Liu Yifei over to see the little girl lose her temper.

Although it was predictable that Liu Yifei would be angry, her anger index seemed a bit too high.

In his impression, Liu Yifei's anger this time was comparable to when she was called a "child bride".

Maybe even angrier than that time.

"Are you stupid?!" Liu Yifei kept walking, turned her head and looked at Zhang Chen's profile with contempt, "This woman used such a shady trick to make you meet her, I know exactly what she was thinking!"

"What is it?" Although Zhang Chen had some ideas in his mind, he still wanted to hear Liu Yifei's opinion.

After all, women should understand women better.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, not understanding why Zhang Chen, who usually claimed to be a "smart guy", acted so stupidly at this time.

But she still explained with a cold face.

"Meeting is just the first step, and it's also her test. If she makes more outrageous demands in front of a large number of reporters, will you agree to it?"

Zhang Chen looked at Liu Yifei thoughtfully: "What excessive demands would there be?"

Liu Yifei sighed and said, "His father is already at the last moment of his life. If his father asks you to marry his daughter, will you marry him or not?"

After saying that, she stopped and stared into Zhang Chen's eyes.

Zhang Chen also stopped subconsciously and looked at Liu Yifei's eyes which were clearly black and white.

这 是
Test?

This question seemed to be asking about Yang Lijuan, but Zhang Chen always felt that Liu Yifei was asking herself.

Women are easy to relate to.

If Liu Yifei were put into this role.

Or to put it another way, if Liu Yifei used something to force Zhang Chen to marry her, would Zhang Chen agree or not?
Isn’t this the bet the two made in front of Sun Fangping?

Can this be brought back?

Zhang Chen's mind raced, and in an instant he understood the meaning behind Liu Yifei's question.

he..
Just like then, there was no answer.

Just turn around and continue walking towards the elevator.

"Hey!"

Liu Yifei was furious. She followed Zhang Chen's footsteps and kicked him in the knee.

Faced with this attack that was no more than a tickle, Zhang Chen shrugged indifferently: "There is no such assumption."

Liu Yifei was slightly dissatisfied with Zhang Chen's answer.

But she was still curious: "What preparations have you made?" "I've asked Xiao Xue to prepare, and there's also..." Zhang Chen pointed at the tip of Liu Yifei's nose and said, "You!"

"Me?!" Liu Yifei also pointed at herself, looking surprised.

"Correct!"

two hours later
The reporters who were originally waiting for Zhang Chen's arrival at the entrance of a high-end hospital in Yanjing have now moved to the entrance of the Chenguang Building.

Originally, only reporters from Hong Kong Island and the Southern Taiwan Strait were waiting to interview Zhang Chen.

But Xue Yining had someone send invitation letters to various newspapers.

Therefore, all news media in Yanjing immediately dispatched their top reporters to the entrance of Chenguang Building.

"Didn't you say we were going to the hospital?"

"Zhang Chen, don't you want to go see that woman and her father?"

"I remember Father Yang asked us to go to the hospital, right?"

"I don't know. Our leader originally told us to wait and see."

"We also said we don't want to cause trouble for Zhang Chen."

"Now that all the mainstream media in the world have been invited here, there should be something more important to announce, right?"

"Do you think Zhang Chen will fall from grace because of this incident?"

"Probably not?"

"Why not?" A reporter looked at the entrance of the building worriedly. "This incident is a big deal. If it's not handled properly, and Zhang Chen is confirmed to be a black-hearted capitalist, then the rest of his life will be over."

"That depends on how we report it." One reporter disagreed, "With the hundreds of millions of dollars Zhang Chen donates every year, it's impossible for him to be called a black-hearted capitalist."

“Although Zhang Chen’s donations may be more than all other wealthy people combined, but…”

"But Zhang Chen is a celebrity on the surface, and a large part of his income comes from the support of his fans."

"So this time, his fans forced his family to sell their house and money to host him. This kind of thing has escalated to a level."

"And we journalists are not all in the same camp."

Some reporters from Yenching University looked at the reporters from Hong Kong and Southern Taiwan with shining eyes not far away, and their worries grew even stronger.

Anyone who is in this circle knows what kind of people they are.

Sometimes the manuscripts I worked hard to compile are not as good as those fabricated by others.

Moreover, compared with their business strategies that rely on attention and self-financing, the other party, which has capital supply behind it, is at a very obvious disadvantage.

"Zhang Chen's movie was about to become a big hit, but now that person and these disgusting reporters have created such an incident. This movie..."

"The movie isn't a big problem, is it?"

"What if this isn't handled well and Zhang Chen's fans are dissatisfied with the way he handled the situation, and they feel disappointed?"

"This"

The reporters started discussing the matter in the open space in front of the Morning Light Building.

Many people are worried because they make their livings from the Internet platform controlled by Zhang Chen.

Some people gloated over his misfortune because Zhang Chen's domineering attitude towards reporters had already made many people dissatisfied.

Some people feel that it has nothing to do with them and they are just there to complete a task.

By the time the sun was about to set, more than a thousand people had gathered here.

It looked like a huge crowd, and various interview and live broadcast vehicles also surrounded the outer perimeter of the Morning Light Building Plaza.

No one expected that Zhang Chen, who had attracted worldwide attention at the premiere of "La La Land" the day before, would...

Just one day later, it was once again at the center of the world's attention.

This makes headlines more frequently than any leader of a country.

But this time was more dangerous than all the previous press conferences.

Many reporters at the scene knew this.

Today's press conference will determine Zhang Chen's future image in the hearts of his fans.

It also determines whether Zhang Chen can climb to a higher position through this "disaster".

Or, fall from the altar from then on.

But everyone has one consensus.

Zhang Chen will definitely bleed heavily today!

Whether it is compensating Yang Lijuan's family or facing their subsequent "requests".

What’s worse, they have to face more “reasonable” demands from fans.

Perhaps from today on, Zhang Chen will be caught in a battle of wits and courage with his fans.

Unless Zhang Chen quits the entertainment industry from now on.

Otherwise, if today's matter was not handled properly, his fans would have the opportunity to get close to Zhang Chen.

So no one can guarantee what kind of trouble Zhang Chen’s extreme fans will cause.

Many reporters remember that Zhang Chen’s courtyard house near the Forbidden City, which was comparable to Prince Yong’s Mansion, was “conquered” by his extreme fans.

The purpose was just to see Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen handled the situation firmly at the time and directly sent all the fans who broke into his house to jail.

This also made many extreme fans more rational.

But Zhang Chen's mansion, which is said to be worth more than ten figures, has completely become a "scenic spot."

But today was different. The other party did not use tough means to meet Zhang Chen.

But with a life.

Although it was very cold in Yanjing at the end of March.

But the reporters did not move from their positions.

Because more and more Yanjing citizens are moving here.

It seems that someone spread the news online that Zhang Chen will hold a press conference here today.

This news should have been known only to reporters.

It's easy to guess that those people behind the scenes must be trying to make things bigger.

Staff from the Morning Glory Group also gathered around the square to maintain order.

They were also secretly listening to the reporters' discussions.

The more they listened, the more they felt that their boss might be in trouble this time.

If something happened to their boss, what would happen to their jobs? What would happen to the free houses in the Second Ring Road where they were living?
Many people have just had children in the past two years. If they really lose their jobs and their free houses, what will happen to their children’s schooling?
Chen Guang employees were more anxious than anyone else at the scene.

Although the reporters were not as anxious as the Chenguang employees, their faces were already red from the cold weather in Yanjing due to the long wait.

If the Chen Guang employees hadn't brought them hot ginger water, they might not have been able to hold on.

Finally, at the moment the sun set, searchlights lit up around the Morning Light Square.

"coming!"

"It's finally here!"

Amid exclamations, all the reporters stamped their frozen feet and quickly gathered at the stairs.

When they rushed to the stairs step by step, the person they had been waiting for finally appeared at the top.

"There will be no question-and-answer session at today's press conference."

Before anyone could react, Zhang Chen continued, "I'll say this today, and you remember it."
