Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 600: The Art Examination Candidate in a Dilemma (Part )

Yang Zi’s mysterious operation stunned everyone in the circle.

"Either he thinks I'm a fool, or he's a big fool." Li Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"No wonder he was able to get along so well with the guy in Song's group. Their train of thought is just as unique."

After the New Year, Wang Changtian and Cao Guowei, two busy men, finally had some free time, so they asked Li Chen to come out and chat with them.

The location was chosen by Wang Changtian, a private teahouse quiet in a bustling area.

Wang Changtian poured a cup of tea for Li Chen and Cao Guowei respectively.

In the eyes of the two, Yin Xiaotian’s matter was not a big deal to Li Chen.

Yang Zi was more like a clown, and she even comforted Li Chen.

"How are you going to deal with this? Otherwise, let Guo Wei block that guy's account directly!"

"If you don't know, you might think that Star Girl is filming Avatar 2 abroad!"

Wang Changtian's words made Li Chen and Cao Guowei laugh.

It seems that Lao Wang is still brooding over the feud between "Painted Skin" and "White Snake".

Yang Zi posts updates about her life as a star girl on Weibo every day. Today she is recording a show, tomorrow she is taking photos, and the day after tomorrow she is filming a blockbuster in Hollywood.

To sum it up in one sentence: full of energy and busy as hell.

"Let him jump around for a while. When he's happy, it'll only take a word to kill him."

Wang Changtian laughed out loud. Although Li Chen spoke in a very arrogant tone, he knew that Li Chen was not bragging.

Cao Guowei also took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Li Chen, and then said slowly: "Chang Tian and I are getting more and more confused about you now."

"Tell us the truth, how many shares do you own in Penguin?"

"Don't forget that you are also a shareholder of Weibo. You don't know how much impact Penguin's WeChat has on Weibo."

Wang Changtian also put away his smile. He had discussed this issue with Cao Guowei in private.

Ever since Li Chen spent a huge sum of money to buy the Jinxiu Ming Diamond, Li Chen's wealth has been a mystery in the circle.

Although Forbes and Hurun have listed him every year, they don't believe that Li Chen's wealth will rank behind Xiao Ma.

Especially after Li Chen and Xiao Ma met, they became even less convinced.

And these lists are definitely not clear, Li Chen is also a major shareholder of Weibo.

"I don't have any shares in Penguin Video. Don't listen to the rumors spread by the media. Ma Huateng was able to sell the property in Hong Kong Island to me only because Penguin Video needed my help."

"Make up, make up, keep making up!" Wang Changtian snorted.

"Forget it. If you don't tell me, Chang Tian and I won't ask. But what's the matter with you meeting that Stanford student?"

"I heard that he got a seed investment of 50 US dollars from you! Believe it or not, I will make you the headline in ten minutes!"

"And what about Youku and Tu Dou? Do you consider us your friends or not?!"

Li Chen laughed
Wang Changtian sighed: "I have a feeling that leaving the Han and Tang Foundation is the decision I regret most in my life."

"Not voting for Guo Wei's Weibo and letting you take advantage of the situation was the most short-sighted decision I have ever made!"

Near noon, the three of them left.

As soon as Cao Guowei got in the car, he received a call from Wang Changtian.

"Guo Wei, it seems that Li Chen holds a lot of penguin shares. We underestimated him. He is a tortoise with only meat under the shell."

"Yes, you may not know that although Snap claims to be a camera company, it is actually not that at all!"

“Maybe, another Facebook.”

The three-day re-examination for the Performance Department of the Film Academy has begun, and the candidates who have entered the re-examination are all very alert.

Because the examiner sitting on the far right is the famous Li Chen, the youngest double-gold director in the history of the academy and the founder of Rongchen Pictures, a top capital well-known both at home and abroad.

"Why do I feel like I'm taking an imperial examination in ancient times?"

"Stop talking. I don't know what questions Director Li will ask. I'm so nervous."

"I heard that Director Li rarely asks questions, and even when he does, he doesn't ask professional questions."

"Nonsense! We rookies, how can we answer a professional question?"

"Director Li, why don't you serve as the examiner for the third test?"

"When will the Oscars be presented??? Is the examiner more important or is the Oscars more important?"

The art exam candidates were talking in low voices.

In the examination room, twenty male and female art candidates sitting on both sides of the five examiners unconsciously glanced at Li Chen who was sitting at the edge.

Li Chen looked at the rookies and said with a smile: "Don't look at me, the examiner is Mr. Zhang Fengyi."

As this year's star examiner and veteran actor, Zhang Fengyi immediately smiled: "It's me, I see you too, all of us examiners combined are not as attractive to the candidates as you, don't you think?"

A few words from the two immediately eased the tense atmosphere in the room.

The candidates shouted in unison: "Yes!"

After the professional performances and talent shows, the examiners will ask questions.

"Hello, teacher. I am candidate number three, Liu Meixi."

As expected, the art exam candidates were right to gossip.

Except for Li Chen, the questions asked by the other four examiners all revolved around the art examination majors.

It was Li Chen's turn, and he asked a question that confused all the candidates present.
Li Chen took a look at this Liu Meixi and it seemed to him that there was no such person in later generations.

"What do you think of the Yin Xiaotian incident? Netizens and fans are urging me to terminate my contract with Yin Xiaotian. What do you think I should do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other four examiners looked at Li Chen in surprise.

I never expected Li Chen to ask such a question.

The other 19 male and female art exam candidates were stunned on the spot.

Liu Meixi, who was standing in front of several examiners, was also extremely surprised, and her brain was working rapidly.

After the Yin Xiaotian beating incident happened, within less than two days, many stars took sides.

Some people cursed Yin Xiaotian, while others supported him. She just treated it as gossip.

The person who cursed Yin Xiaotian the most was Du Chun, who auditioned with Yin Xiaotian for Vientiane Island. This can be seen from the fact that he got so angry that he beat someone up after failing to pick up girls.

Those who support Yin Xiaotian should not be underestimated.

The representative figures are the famous director Gao Xixi and two popular film and television actors Nie Yuan and Han Yu.

Even the Beijing Film Academy was divided into two groups. Jia Nai Liang, Wang Luodan, and Bao Bei Er supported Bian Xiao Xiao, and advocated that one person has more power than the other, and that their own people support their own people.

Of course there are exceptions, but they are a little alone and weak, such as Yan Danchen, who is known as the most beautiful Chang'e.

She is the only actor who graduated from Beijing Film Academy who supports Yin Xiaotian.

But Liu Meixi never imagined that one day she would have to express her opinion on this.

"What is Director Li's attitude?"

"How should I answer?"

"The beating was probably true. Even the Juli CEO who had the video asked Yin Xiaotian to apologize. Can't he explain the truth?"

"Fake Nailiang and the others are also sure that Director Li is one of Beijing Film Academy's own people, and they will definitely support Bian Xiaoxiao just like they supported Zhou Yang back then."

"But it's been two days since the incident, and Director Li and Rongchen Pictures haven't said anything. What should I do?"

"Oh, right, Director Li said last time when he was an examiner that the most important thing for an actor is both moral integrity and artistic excellence, with moral integrity coming first!" Liu Meixi made the decision immediately.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"I think that hitting someone is wrong no matter what. I don't dare to interfere with the decisions of the teacher's company, but I remember what the teacher said last time: morality and art are both excellent, and morality comes first."

The five examiners in front of him all laughed. These art students were all foxes, and they all remembered everything Li Chen said clearly.

Li Chen also laughed: "Not bad, it shows my attitude, but I didn't make the decision for me like netizens and fans do."

"Thank you teacher for your encouragement." Liu Meixi was very happy.

The other 19 candidates present saw Li Chen nodding his head approvingly, and most of them thought that Li Chen was going to take action against Yin Xiaotian.

There were only two exceptions, one of whom was Jiang Peiyao, who had carefully studied Li Chen's character.

When it was Jiang Peiyao's turn, Li Chen still had the same question.

This made Jiang Peiyao even more alert: "If the previous answer satisfied Director Li, he shouldn't ask the same question again! Asking like this, unless..."

Jiang Peiyao tried to relax herself and said with a natural smile: "Teacher, can I ask you a question first?"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Fengyi smiled first, turned around and said to Li Chen: "Not bad, your courage is commendable."

Li Chen also said: "Since Teacher Zhang said that you are courageous, go ahead and ask, but I won't answer you today. I can give you the answer after we leave this classroom."

Jiang Peiyao's heart trembled. He understood what Director Li meant. In this classroom, he was the examiner and was only responsible for asking questions. He had no obligation to answer them.

"Teacher, who do you think is lying between the two people who are 'editing'?"

When Jiang Peiyao asked a question, the candidates present were shocked and thought that this candidate was very bold.

This is to let Director Li express his position in public.

Li Chen said the same thing: "I will give you the answer to your question after the re-examination. Now you can answer my question."

At this time, Jiang Peiyao had no choice but to gamble, that is, to bet that Director Li's vision of people was still unique, and that the truth was often in the hands of a few people.

"First of all, beating someone is definitely wrong, but the husband has his own reasons and the wife has her own reasons. Yin Xiaotian himself was not seen in the public video, so the whole incident is even more confusing."

"I don't know either of them, and I'm not an eyewitness, so I can't give an answer. This is my answer."

After Jiang Peiyao finished speaking, she stared at Director Li in front of her nervously.

There was no expression on Li Chen's face, which disappointed her greatly.

But if he knew the score Li Chen gave her, he probably wouldn't do that.

On the first day of the re-examination, Li Chen's questions were beyond everyone's expectations. They became a hot topic among the art exam candidates and were even posted online.

Sina Entertainment News

"Today is the first day of the Beijing Film Academy re-examination. As the examiner, Li Chen used the recent "Yin Xiaotian and Bian Xiaoxiao" incident to test the art students, which triggered widespread heated discussions among the art students. Most of the students stood on the side of Bian Xiaoxiao who was beaten."

The entry "Li Chen issue" on Weibo was immediately ignited.

When several school leaders saw this, they just smiled. It was Li Chen's freedom to ask whatever questions he wanted. With his current status, it was not excessive for him to ask any questions.

"Old Tian, ​​your student has never been guessed correctly! It's really interesting that one question can spark heated discussions."

"Dean, is this okay?"

"What could it be? It's a good opportunity to let Li Chen screen another batch for us. You must be aware of the elimination rate of the re-examination, right?"

Everyone in the circle was even more confused.

"What does he mean by that question?"

"I'm afraid it's time to make our stance clear."

"You mean, he's going to make his stand, brother?"

"I don't know, but if I were him, I would never say anything before the video was made public. At his level, it's not worth it to flip out over such a small matter."

The Beijing Film Academy's art exams have always attracted much attention in the circle. Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and other Beijing Film Academy seniors have sent words of encouragement to candidates on Weibo or shared their own art exam experiences.

But none of them had as great an influence as Li Chen's question.

Seeing that the situation had almost reached a critical point, Li Chen finally made his attitude clear for the first time.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, a Weibo post by Li Chen caused an uproar.

"Today is the first day of the re-examination. I didn't expect that my question would cause widespread discussion. In the past two days, friends in the circle and media friends have been asking me what my attitude is. I will express my position today."

"After the incident, Yin Xiaotian has already called the police. In fact, in my opinion, there is no need to bother the police with this matter. I am here to help netizens, fans and artists in the industry who are paying attention to this matter to resolve this trivial matter."

"First, after the incident, both parties swore that what they said was true, but it was Yin Xiaotian who was anxious for the crew to release the video."

"Second, Yin Xiaotian went to the crew the next day to ask for the video, but the video was not with the crew but in the hands of Yang Zi, one of the investors."

"Third, since Yang Zi asked Yin Xiaotian to apologize and supported Huang Shengyi's classmate Bian Xiaoxiao, then you should openly release the video and this matter ends here. You held the video and said you have no obligation to release it. Yin Xiaotian reported it to the police but they didn't get it. Is it because you have no obligation or you don't dare? Think about it for yourselves."

"To this day, the video has still not been released, and I don't know the facts, but judging from the logic of a normal person, the person who beat the victim would not dare to ask for the video to be released, but the victim should insist on the release of the video."

"So my attitude is that Rongchen Films will not terminate the contract with an already signed actor just because of someone's words or a rumor on the Internet. Everything must be based on facts. At least I haven't seen any evidence of Yin Xiaotian beating anyone."

"I asked this question in the examination room today to warn all art exam candidates that you can have an attitude based on your likes and dislikes, but you cannot just follow the crowd without independent thinking."

"People like this have a limited upper limit!"

"Finally, I want to say one thing to the person who @ed my video. I don't know you well. Don't @ me as if you know me well. I am not you. I am a woman who is about to give birth, and you still have the mind to make a fool of yourself here!"

Each of Li Chen’s Weibo posts triggers huge discussion and heat, but none of them has had such an amazing effect as this one.

The speed at which the Weibo hot search was ignited was extremely fast, and almost all major portals reposted Li Chen’s Weibo post at the first time.

The number of reposts exceeded 10 in just ten minutes, and the number of comments exceeded 5.

The official Weibo of Rongchen Pictures, the official Weibo of Yixin Media, the official Weibo of Red Star Wu, as well as big-name artists such as Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Yang Mi, and Shuang Bing all reposted Li Chen's explosive Weibo post at the first opportunity.

It's just that someone was completely defeated.
