Chapter 223 Ambition, Consideration
Chen Jingyuan didn't talk much about Zhong Chuxi's matter, but he was aware of the grudge-holding label.
The entertainment industry is only so big, and Chen Jingyuan's actions against Zhong Chuxi are not exactly a secret.
Many people can easily understand the cause and effect.
From many people's perspective, Chen Jingyuan spent more than a month having someone follow and film Zhong Chuxi.
Having obtained a great deal of evidence, and with the exposure of this dual contract issue, Chen Jingyuan took the opportunity to target it.
It could be said that Zhong Chuxi was left completely helpless, with no one to turn to for help.
"I never expected President Chen to hold a grudge like that!"
This is probably the most common sentiment among many people, but some people can understand it more by considering Chen Jingyuan's age.
It's not normal for young people to hold grudges; being able to endure it for over a month is already quite impressive.
Although this label had some impact on Chen Jingyuan, it wasn't as significant as one might imagine.
On the contrary, I felt that Chen Jingyuan was easier to approach, since Chen Jingyuan hadn't participated in certain special drinking parties before.
To be honest, it would be easy for Chen Jingyuan, given his status, to participate in special drinking parties.
The problem is that Chen Jingyuan has no interest in any of this and doesn't want it to be exposed and become news someday.
Besides, is it that Dilraba isn't pretty, or that Xiao Meng isn't considerate?!
Now with the addition of Wang Churan, plus the time allotted for Tencent's services, there's still not enough time.
Attending such a drinking party is just asking for trouble!
next day
Chen Keke and the others got up early to prepare, and the makeup team was waiting to arrive.
She played the lead and second lead roles in the film, plus a special appearance.
They'll definitely get a lot of screen time today, and it'll be a major promotional focus.
Compared to other celebrities who are overwhelmed by issues related to dual contracts, Bai Lu and others don't have this kind of trouble.
During this period, Lanco Entertainment Company was even upgraded to a law-abiding and conscientious company due to the Bailu incident.
At least no entertainment company dares to stand up and present evidence like Lanco Entertainment.
This has brought considerable exposure to the artists under its management.
The mother, Liu Yulan, set off early, completely ignoring her eldest son's plans.
"My mom's ambition for her career is really quite intense."
Even Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh and say it.
In the past, my mother's attention was always focused on my brother and sister.
Now they're the kind of people who would just pass by without even glancing at them, but part of the reason is that a large group of people are following the two of them.
Since their net worth of one billion was revealed, each of them has been assigned an extra bodyguard.
Leaving aside Chen Jingyuan, let's talk about Chen Keke, who travels with two assistants and two bodyguards.
Sometimes they might add an agent, driver, etc., making it a group of several people.
The extra assistant was a friend of Chen Keke from high school. She had just finished a junior college internship when Chen Keke brought her over.
Neither Liu Yulan nor Chen Jingyuan cared about having another idle person on their side.
the reason is simple!
Bai Lu has a best friend as a foster parent, so it's understandable that Chen Keke has a high school friend as a foster parent.
Lanco Entertainment doesn't lack money for one employee; an assistant's salary in Shanghai is at most 100,000 yuan a year.
However, the position of assistant can be considered a trusted confidant, and the actual income is not just the salary.
Leaking even a small item from Chen Keke would be enough to double the assistant's income.
With Lanco Entertainment providing free meals and accommodation, this job would be highly sought after if it were offered to others.
At least Chen Keke, his high school classmate, was very grateful to him.
I've met Liu Yulan and Chen Jingyuan once to get a feel for their situation; they seemed like green, inexperienced students fresh out of school.
It's hard to say whether there will be any changes in the future, but Liu Yulan will keep a close eye on it.
A celebrity's team consists of many people, and Chen Keke's every move is being watched.
That's why Liu Yulan felt relieved!
As for Chen Jingyuan, there's even less to say; there's absolutely no need to worry about him.
Chen Jingyuan did not wait for Bai Lu and the others to go to the premiere ceremony together, but went ahead of time.
Although I don't have to walk the red carpet, I still have to meet with some business partners.
The premiere of the film "Better Days" attracted many producers and directors.
Generally speaking, invitations to premieres are more of a courtesy, and attendance is not mandatory.
Unless they have a good relationship with someone or have some connection with the production crew.
This time, however, things were different; there were more people than expected.
It is clear that many companies hope to have some cooperation with Penguin.
The scandal surrounding dual contracts is bigger than imagined, especially as many companies' stock prices have been halved.
These days, everyone's looking for a good project to partner with to boost their stock price.
The problem is that many investors are now quite cautious about investing in the entertainment industry.
After all, many investors previously thought that investing in a film and television company that went public would allow them to easily cash out hundreds of millions.
As a result, with stricter regulations and this recent turmoil, there are no investors left.
It's not impossible to let these entertainment companies handle a big project on their own.
The problem is that this is a special time, and many companies and artists are still unaware of how much tax they need to pay.
Cash should definitely not be invested in large projects casually!
Of course, not everyone is short of funds; for example, penguins are not short of funds.
Many companies want to use the premiere of "Better Days" to discuss potential collaborations with Chen Jingyuan.
The main reason for not approaching Tencent Pictures is Chen Jingyuan's poor investment acumen.
With Chen Wu also attending this time, a portion of the investment in "Better Days" will still go to Tencent Pictures.
Chen Jingyuan has never had the habit of keeping things to himself, especially since movies don't always make money.
Even if the box office is worth billions, the revenue share may only be a few hundred million. Even if you have the largest share of the investment, the profit may not exceed three hundred million.
Just like the movie "Hello Mr. Billionaire" before!
This amount of money is really nothing to Chen Jingyuan, especially since June is almost here.
Ningwang Technology is not far from its IPO!
His net worth is about to exceed 10 billion, but he still lets his mother handle most of the film profits.
Chen Jingyuan was well aware of the purpose behind so many people attending the premiere.
He doesn't mind undertaking a project to maintain his network of contacts.
There is one project in particular that might not be feasible relying solely on Tencent's influence.
This is a perfect opportunity to collaborate!
Most importantly, his net worth may be exposed.
Whether he will stay with Penguin is hard to say, but it's good to use this opportunity to strengthen the relationship.
The premiere was held at a cinema in Shanghai, which is only six kilometers away from the waterfront mansion.
The twenty-minute journey passed in the blink of an eye!
When Chen Jingyuan arrived, many media and fans had already arrived.
Shanghai is known for its intense celebrity fan culture, with fans rushing to secure a good spot as early as possible.
When Chen Jingyuan stepped out of the car, he was surrounded by numerous reporters and media.
"President Chen, I heard that the recent controversy surrounding Chung Chu-hsi is related to you."
"What are your thoughts on the issue of dual contracts?"
"As an investor in 'Better Days,' did you have any expectations for the box office performance?"
......
Many reporters finally managed to interview Chen Jingyuan, but they showed him no politeness whatsoever.
Ask about everything, not just movies.
Chen Jingyuan is just too much of a topic of discussion!
For example, many netizens are still asking Chen Keke for her secrets to wealth on her Weibo.
Chen Jingyuan answered a few questions and then went directly into the cinema.
"Chen Jingyuan!"
"Chen Jingyuan!"
.....
Interestingly, fans outside started calling out his name, and it's unclear who started it.
Strictly speaking, Chen Jingyuan is not a celebrity, but these shouts prove his current fame.
