The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

February is almost over.

Chen Pingsheng sent two teams to Hong Kong: Teng Hui Department Store and Teng Ying Entertainment.

Since Xin Teng launched a massive live-streaming e-commerce event, all of his streamers have started live-streaming e-commerce as well.

The top-performing salesperson was Mingming, followed by Qiaomei and Futuan.

In just half a month, it achieved an astonishing sales volume of 1.6 billion.

As it turns out, Tong Zelan's purchase of Xin Teng's live streaming shares for 900 million yuan was quite a good deal.

If things continue like this, the financial prospects are really amazing.

The main reason he sent his team to Hong Kong in advance was to establish channels for selling high-quality products from around the world.

Xinteng Live relies on its platform's fans to generate purchasing power, while Tenghui Department Store took the lead in opening up global sales channels, enabling its fans to make repeat purchases two or three times.

It can be said that the two are completely complementary.

This is also the first company on the entire internet to deeply integrate with offline superstores in the field of live-streaming e-commerce.

It was also the first company to launch a live-streaming campaign featuring a global selection of high-quality products.

With these two leading advantages, if Xinteng Live can really go public within two years, no one can say for sure what its exact valuation will be.

It definitely won't be low.

The end of the month is a major event in the entertainment industry, and Chen Pingsheng is still thinking of attending it.

He called Gao Hu and Chang Fu.

We must invite them to join us in this great opportunity!

Both of them have now achieved great success in their respective fields, and financial freedom is a given.

That's all.

Shanghai is still very prosperous, and the entertainment industry is even more extravagant and decadent.

Here, beautiful women abound.

Chen Pingsheng was still driving his black Phantom, and he drove it like a seasoned veteran.

Gao Hu asked him, "Old Chen, do you think any of the female stars walking the red carpet later will suddenly trip and fall, and even have their collars fall off?"

Chang Fu replied, "That shouldn't be the case. Anyone who uses such a despicable hype tactic would probably be torn to shreds online."

"There should be some. In the entertainment industry, being famous or being infamous is still fame. But you, kid, you better keep your eyes closed later."

Chen Pingsheng reminded him that after Gao Hu stopped chasing after flight attendants, he actually started seriously looking for a girlfriend.

I just haven't found someone who isn't greedy for his money.

"I don't care about anyone else, I just want to see if the fairy sister comes."

"She'll definitely come."

As the three talked, they soon arrived at the venue of the party, a well-known international hotel in Shanghai.

For outsiders, the most attractive aspect of entertainment industry events is the dazzling competition among female stars.

It's the same for them.

The only difference is that you can only watch it on the news and on TV.

But they were able to observe it in person.

Chen Pingsheng is a very high-ranking person; the organizers even have to personally greet him. They originally wanted to invite him in early.

He won't go.

If we go in so quickly, what's the point of seeing anything?

Someone once posted a picture online, which roughly means that if you had the chance to choose one of the dozen or so popular female celebrities to be your harem, who would you choose?

Others don't have this opportunity to experience it firsthand, but he truly does.

Female celebrities usually make a glamorous entrance, and their gowns at such important events are often very competitive.

It's basically about seeing who's wearing a certain haute couture gown.

In recent years, those who walk the red carpet have always been the ones who exude an air of wealth and power.

No other female star could outshine her; it just goes to show how incredibly talented her marketing team is.

Both sides were filled with long guns and short cannons.

In the entertainment industry, the earlier someone appears on stage, the less important they are.

The first to take the stage was a second-tier female celebrity who had gained some popularity this year.

She had a very impressive cleavage and was wearing a black, high-slit dress with a slit in the front and a completely exposed back.

While others show off their cleavage, she practically wants to show her entire buttock line.

I don't know what method they used, but they managed to squeeze the small C to be even more exaggerated than the big D.

Those who can become female stars in the entertainment industry must all be quite good-looking.

After this person passed away, the people who came up after him were all second-tier.

With this kind of second-tier status, it's definitely impossible to borrow haute couture gowns from brands.

However, there were exceptions, such as Jing Tian.

She's the kind of actress who doesn't photograph well; she looks a bit plump on TV.

It's truly beautiful offline.

It's quite interesting that they show off their breasts so openly.

Another one has arrived, but this one doesn't seem to have much self-awareness.

A rising star in film, and a young Best Actress winner.

She debuted as a "Zhang Yimou Girl," and even though she had nothing, she still wanted to deliberately show off.

Pacific Ocean, airport, ribcage.

If it were really a matter of choosing a concubine, she would definitely be the first one eliminated, regardless of what others said.

The actresses who followed were all A-list actresses.

The actress who used to have a crush on, Dilraba Dilmurat, is now very popular.

She has a great figure; she came in covering her chest, but only removed her hand to show it to you when she got on stage.

As for the ones following behind, they were basically the final performers.

Such a star-studded, revealing event would certainly be a feast for the eyes if you were looking at other actresses.

If you saw your own family member in there, it would be incredibly awkward.

Chen Pingsheng is one of them.

He stared at Song Wu, who was about to take the stage, with a dark expression and said nothing.

To be honest, Song Wu's looks are quite striking in the entertainment industry.

Even if they can't compare to the top few, they won't be too far behind.

What's wrong with her? She actually went on stage wearing a blue starry dress that exposed her chest and back.

Given her status, she was completely outmatched by the two top-tier female celebrities who were already incredibly popular.

He was only able to make his grand finale appearance thanks to the Chen family's connections.

Following Song Wu were two other performers: Zhang Ziyi, an international star, and a truly stunning fairy-like beauty who was the grand finale.

Song Wu also saw her brother-in-law in the crowd, and was first surprised, then embarrassed.

She quickly covered her chest and ran downstairs.

She knew very well that her brother-in-law was a very traditional person.

Even after her sister became so wealthy, she never wore revealing clothes in front of outsiders, not even the slightest bit.

Although major events in the entertainment industry require female stars to compete and show off their beauty in order to gain high popularity and traffic.

But after all, she debuted as the sister-in-law of the big boss of Tencent Entertainment.

In essence, it still represents Tencent Entertainment and even her brother-in-law personally.

This will only make her brother-in-law feel ashamed.

Chen Pingsheng was too lazy to attend the later meetings; he had no interest in them at all.

He secretly took out his phone and called his wife, Song Yanxi, to inform her of his sister's outrageous behavior.

I also took the opportunity to give myself a little exposure.

To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior is quite normal in the entertainment industry.

It's definitely not okay to leave it at his house.

Given Tencent Entertainment's background, there's absolutely no need for Song Wu to rely on this to gain popularity.

In short, this refers to all the top-tier rich second-generation female celebrities who mingle in the entertainment industry.

Do you think they'll do that?
Leaving aside those who are different, most people wouldn't allow their daughters or close relatives to pose provocatively in such public places.

The essence of Chinese people is still very traditional. There must be a reason why wealthy families don't look favorably upon female celebrities.

This kind of behavior will not be allowed in the first place.

His wife is still at home taking care of the child. If she doesn't personally take care of the little rascal, you won't understand her behavior at all.

She chases after the chicks all day long, even more mischievous than her older sister was when she was little.

Upon hearing about her younger sister's activities in the entertainment industry, Song Yanxi immediately called her and asked her to return to Beijing.

Poor Song Wu, she was caught red-handed by her brother-in-law the first time she dressed so revealingly.

Now all I can do is go home obediently, bow my head, and admit my mistake.

After Chen Pingsheng left, the event continued as scheduled, and a charity gala was held afterwards.

This means that many big stars bring out some of their collections or valuable items.

The proceeds will be auctioned off publicly and then donated entirely.

Some people are just there to gain attention, while others are genuinely willing to donate tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

It's a pity he didn't even get to see the fairy sister.

Surprisingly, Liu Yifei hadn't sent him any messages for a whole year.

Surprisingly, she took the initiative to come looking for him again later.

To be honest, Liu Yifei's film career is really terrible.

If she takes a liking to a movie script, just avoid it.

He's now unwilling to waste his golden touch by looking at the scripts she brought.

Another year has passed.

Liu Yifei, who bravely ventured into the film industry, was once again battered and bruised.

If we're talking about the female celebrity with the most resilience in the entertainment industry, Liu Yifei is second to none.

Despite being a flop for ten years, she's always a top-tier celebrity whenever she's on stage.

No one can consistently outdo her.

If this were an ordinary person, they would probably have disappeared from the entertainment industry long ago.

Liu Yifei's fashion sense is quite ordinary; she dresses like an ordinary girl. You can't see the glamour that female stars should have on her at all.

She didn't even bring her agent this time.

"The movie I asked you to invest in last year lost money again."

"Isn't this normal?"

"That's quite normal."

For some reason, Liu Yifei quite enjoyed chatting with him, perhaps because she was too pretty.

Most men who have access to her will have some kind of interest in her.

He essentially just wanted to sleep with her.

Only the big shot in front of them didn't have that problem; the two could still chat normally like old friends.

Liu Yifei sighed, "All these years I've been using up the nostalgia of my early viewers."

"It's good for you to know."

"Shouldn't you comfort me?" Liu Yifei asked him curiously.

"What should I say to comfort you?"

Chen Pingsheng said to her, "I've loved watching your Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and Chinese Paladin since 04. I'm one of your fans, okay?"

"I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

Liu Yifei seemed to recall when Chen Pingsheng came to her for an autograph on the plane.

She said she was going to sleep, and then she really did.

"Is your impression of me still mostly stuck ten years ago?"

"Pretty much. You were only sixteen or seventeen back then, so lively and energetic. Now, in the blink of an eye, you're already twenty-seven or twenty-eight. If you don't cherish yourself, you might really exhaust the feelings of us old fans."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him.

Doesn't he know that age is a taboo subject for female celebrities in the entertainment industry?

This is a blatant reminder to her.

Stop wasting your time; ten years have proven you're not cut out for the film industry.

I think I should just go back to acting and start over.

If there's only one female celebrity in the entertainment industry who can be described as ethereal and otherworldly, then that woman must be Liu Yifei.

Even if she is no longer young, it will still be the same.

This is a special sentiment that exists among countless viewers.

Without this kind of sentiment, given Liu Yifei's achievements over the years, she should have retired from the entertainment industry long ago.

"Is it too late for me to sign with Tencent Entertainment now?"

"Of course you can make it. It's never too late as long as you come."

Chen Pingsheng still made Bai Xin produce the contract that belonged exclusively to Liu Yifei.

It's similar to Yang Mi and Zhao Liying's.

The difference is that there is no 5% ten-year stock option bonus.

Tencent Entertainment is now a top-tier company in the industry, with a market value exceeding 30 billion yuan.

No one will receive stock option rewards if they join us.

Besides, with Zhao Liying's hard work over the years, her status in the entertainment industry is no lower than that of the "Fairy Sister".

There is even a great chance that it will surpass them in the future.

Although Liu Yifei's film acting is terrible, she is very cautious about accepting endorsements.

She is the hardest spokesperson to find in the industry.

It has nothing to do with how much money you have; she just wants to see how well your brand is perceived in the market.
She would never accept a brand with flaws or risks.

What wasn't finished last year has been completely completed this year.

Liu Yifei is quite reassured about signing with Tencent Film Studio, much like when she was working alone before, as they don't assign her too much work.

It all depends on her.

The scripts that Tencent Pictures wants to invest in are piled up like a small mountain in the office.

Chen Pingsheng picked out one of them and gave it to her, saying, "The Dream of Splendor tells the inspirational stories of three women in ancient times. With your acting skills, you can easily handle it."

Liu Yifei took it and looked at it; she hadn't acted in a TV series for a long time.

This comeback shouldn't be a complete flop like the movie, right?

"In addition, I've always wanted you to be the elegant brand ambassador for my Deer Antler Coffee."

Now that you've signed with Tencent Entertainment, you should naturally accept the brand endorsements offered by Tencent Entertainment.

In the film industry, Liu Yifei is only suited to doing things the opposite way: she simply refuses to invest in any film scripts that she likes.

On the contrary, her influence in the drama industry is absolutely astonishing.

If she is willing to return, countless former viewers will surely flock to her.

He also plans to collaborate with Deer Antler Coffee on a co-branded version of this "Dream Record".

It is also the only advertising investor, making final preparations for its IPO.

Chen Pingsheng now invests in TV dramas, and he basically invests all of his money in them.

The salary he offered Liu Yifei was even higher than that offered Yang Mi.

At Tencent Entertainment, screenwriters hold a similar status to directors.

Actors must never cross the line.

He had to ensure the script remained unchanged, with absolutely no major alterations allowed.

Some supporting actresses love to add extra scenes for themselves.

Doesn't she know that this makes the audience hate her?

Of course I know, but I just want to show off more.

These women basically rely on their special relationships with investors or producers to get more screen time than the director could.

This situation has occurred in many major scripts over the years, and it keeps happening.

Anyway, it's absolutely forbidden on his end, and as for the director, the original screenwriter will have to set limits.
