The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 51 Different Wind

As for this bad idea, the fact is that after Zhang Chen broke the news, other Hollywood studios will definitely notice this IP. If others get there first, or if there is one more competitor, it will undoubtedly reduce their chances of getting involved in this project.

You should know that the Harry Potter in this time and space became popular all over the world much earlier than the original time and space, because Zhang Chen had promoted it intentionally or unintentionally many times. Don't underestimate the influence of a celebrity with considerable fame.

"Mr. Zhou, you two should both be subsidiaries of Warner Bros., right? Logically, you should not interfere with each other. Why did they ask you to come to me as a lobbyist?"

A subsidiary is different from a branch. A subsidiary has great operational autonomy, while a branch is a branch of the parent company and all personnel appointments need to be delegated by the parent company.

To put it simply, branches are organs of the parent company and are closely connected with it, while subsidiaries are like children adopted or born by the parent company and have their own ideas.

"I'm also curious about this matter, but Lorenzo said he wanted to meet with you to discuss in detail, so I was just helping to pass the message." Zhou Jianhui didn't know much about the whole thing, but he could still help to pass the message.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please help me ask him to come to my place around 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Zhang Chen had some understanding of Lorenzo. He was originally the production director of Warner Bros., and his purpose in coming to him was obviously to get the copyright of "Harry Potter" in his hands.

He wanted to see me anxiously before I went to Ying Country. I guess he wanted to reach some agreement in private before meeting Rowling.

Zhang Chen has reservations about this point, and it mainly depends on the other party's sincerity.

Zhang Chen is in the United States, but the Chinese music scene on the other side of the ocean is experiencing a huge uproar because of Zhang Chen's new album.

In November last year, the major charts were basically dominated by three songs: Richie Jen's "Love in the Pacific", "Look at the Girl Across the Street", and "Stupid Kid" sung by Liu, Wu and Ke. At the same time, Milk Tea Liu also released her famous song "Love You So Much" this month, which achieved remarkable results in both the Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

In December, Zhang Zhenyue's "Love Me Don't Leave" made a strong breakthrough, and Kelly Chen's classic song "Notebook" was also released at this time.

However, apart from Richie Jen's single hit, the most popular song should be Zhang Yu's "The Moon Causes Trouble". Once this song was released, it spread across the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and its momentum was close to Richie Jen's "Love in the Pacific".

In the current era of Taiwanese music, the only one who can compete with Richie Jen is Zhang Yu. Others like Zhang Xinzhe and Lin Zhixuan have to lag behind.

In January, Milk Tea Liu released "Later" which she will eat for the rest of her life, and Dick Cowboy also released the classic song "How Much Love Can Come Back"

The above songs bring a different style because of the national style songs in Zhang Chen’s album "Chinese Style".

While everyone was singing about the sadness and grief of love, Zhang Chen once again knocked on the major charts of the Chinese music scene with the charm of history and heritage this year.

Especially "Blue and White Porcelain", which is a breath of fresh air in the Chinese music scene which is full of sad love songs.

The arrangement of classical traditional instruments, the poetic MV, and the extremely poetic lyrics.

You can say that "Blue and White Porcelain" may not be the catchiest song at this time, but it is definitely the song with the richest cultural connotations.

The other songs in the album all have very distinctive stories.

Perhaps someone has incorporated traditional Chinese music into pop music before, but no one has classified this type of song as a separate genre.

However, Zhang Chen's album clearly tells everyone what are the songs that are truly unique to the Chinese music scene.

Maybe this album won’t be recognized by the so-called “mainstream”, but for Zhang Chen, releasing a Chinese album is not really for the purpose of making money.

A hit album would sell at most 200 million copies, earning less than 1000 million RMB. This amount is not small, but it is not much either.

This is just Zhang Chen's way of reminding himself not to forget where his roots are. Now the domestic media has split into two camps, one camp believes that Zhang Chen is "sensational", and the other camp believes that Zhang Chen "opened a new chapter in the Chinese music scene."

Since the Internet is not very developed at the moment, these comments are just media commentators expressing their opinions in newspapers and magazines.

However, although Zhang Chen did not pay special attention to all these remarks, Yin Zilan, as Zhang Chen's agent, knew them all clearly.

She came to Zhang Chen who was having breakfast, held a notebook and said to him, "Boss, the domestic media are going crazy trying to find you."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

"It's all because of your new album. Many media outlets want to interview you. Also, because of this year's Grammy Awards, according to the Capital Evening News, Capital Music Station FM97.4 will broadcast the event live to China."

"Why is it that we are broadcasting the Grammy Awards, which I have the least confidence in? I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing." Zhang Chen is helpless. This year, the Grammy Awards are dominated by big names, and it is much more difficult to win a prestigious award than in the past.

"Capital Music Station has specially sent a reporter. They want to do an exclusive interview with the boss before the Grammy Awards begins." Yin Zilan did not respond to Zhang Chen's complaints and continued with her work report.

"today?"

"Well, today."

"Then let's arrange it after dinner."

I have to meet with someone from Warner Bros. this afternoon, and I don't know how long the conversation will take, but it will definitely not exceed dinner time. So it would be more appropriate to arrange to meet with the Capital Music Channel after dinner.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

After Yin Zilan left, Zhang Chen quickly finished his breakfast and calculated the time. It should be around 8 o'clock in the evening in China. He went to the study and turned on the computer to see if Xiao Liu had seen his message.

After turning on the computer, Zhang Chen saw the message Liu Yifei replied to him in the early morning.

Liu Yifei: [Brother Chenchen, when will you come back? ]

Liu Yifei: [Brother Chenchen, my mother is very famous now. I am so envious. I also want to be an actress.]

Liu Yifei: [Brother Chenchen, Brother Chenchen, my father came to see me today, but he didn’t seem to be very happy chatting with my mother. What should I do?]

Zhang Chen looked at a series of text messages beginning with "Brother Chenchen". He could taste the different emotions contained in the same words.

"Does this guy treat me and my chat box as a tree hole?" Zhang Chen looked at the long string of messages and shook his head in amusement.

After reading all the messages, he flexed his fingers and prepared to reply to them.
