Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Do I Look Like Someone Who Can’t Produce Even 500 Million? (Five Updates, Please Subscribe)
Chu Chen responded to Zhu Tonghua.
Don’t forget, Chu Chen was still the honorary president of the Jiangnan Musicians Association, which ranked high nationwide.
He also had a significant status in the entertainment industry.
Previously, when Chen Changqing, the president of the association, learned that Chu Chen was the chairman of Angel Entertainment Group, he reached out to him.
If there was ever anything going on in the entertainment industry, he could contact him.
He had been the president of the Jiangnan Musicians Association for many years and had an extensive network.
...
Unless it was a major issue, he could usually handle it.
“Hehe, keep dreaming, inviting those veteran acting stars, could you really persuade those award-winning actors?”
Zhu Tonghua didn’t believe it at all.
There were only a handful of male actors at the award-winning level in the entertainment industry.
They had already achieved great success and maintained high standards for the films they appeared in.
For the everyday person, even for them, it would probably be very difficult to invite such figures.
Especially a newcomer like Chu Chen, who had just taken over Angel Entertainment, dreaming of inviting award-winning actors, was pure fantasy.
“Chu Chen, stop dreaming.”
On the phone came Zhu Tonghua’s sarcasm.
Not to mention Zhu Tonghua, even the board members present didn’t believe Chu Chen could invite award-winning actors.
In fact, at the beginning, former CEO Zhang Zimo had also tried to invite award-winning actors, but after asking several in a row, he was turned down.
At the time, the leading roles in major films and TV shows were mostly played by popular young idols; they might lack acting skills but had plenty of fans.
As a result, Zhang Zimo ultimately chose Cheng Rantao.
Even Zhang Zimo, who had been in the entertainment industry for twenty or thirty years, couldn’t get award-winning actors, could Chu Chen?
Just as everyone was doubting, Chu Chen made a phone call.
“Brother Chen, here’s the thing, I have a movie and would like to invite a…”
Chu Chen explained the situation to Chen Changqing.
“Of course, money is not a problem.”
Chen Changqing thought for a while and then said,
“Little brother Chu, I thought about it and a suitable person for your movie could be Gao Zhengqi, how about it?”
“I happen to know him, and our relationship is quite good.”
Gao Zhengqi, a veteran male actor, a double award winner, a true acting talent, and held in high esteem in the entertainment industry.
“Okay.” Chu Chen nodded.
“Thanks for the help, Brother Chen.”
After hanging up, Chu Chen looked at the group of shocked people in the room.
Gao Zhengqi?
The chairman intended to invite Gao Zhengqi to play the leading role?
Oh my God!
Gao Zhengqi was truly a capable male actor and one of the few actors that remained popular amidst the wave of young idols, a genuine award winner.
But getting Gao Zhengqi to act was almost as difficult as reaching the sky!
How could the chairman possibly manage that?
“Hahaha.”
On the phone, Zhu Tonghua was still mocking.
“You think you can invite Gao Zhengqi?”
“Do you really have that qualification?”
Someone like Gao Zhengqi, an award-winning actor with extensive networks, had been in the entertainment industry for years and was familiar with all those big entertainment group CEOs.
He had to be very polite even when meeting them.

And Chu Chen wanted to invite him?
Dream on.
Just as Zhu Tonghua wanted to ridicule more, Chu Chen’s phone rang.
“Hello, this is Gao Zhengqi. Is this Mr. Chu? Brother Chen introduced me.”
Chu Chen picked up the phone, hearing Gao Zhengqi’s voice from it.
Instantly, the whole conference room fell silent!
It was real!
It truly was Gao Zhengqi!
The chairman actually managed to invite Gao Zhengqi; were they dreaming?
All the executives stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.
“Hello, this is Chu Chen.”
“Mr. Chu, I have some matters to handle tomorrow. I’ll fly to Donghai the day after, and we can discuss the role in detail then?” Gao Zhengqi asked.
“Okay.”
After chatting with Gao Zhengqi for a while and confirming the meeting time, Chu Chen finally hung up the phone.
“Wow, the chairman is impressive!”
“The chairman is amazing, he really invited Gao Zhengqi.”
Applause broke out in the conference room, as all the top executives looked at Chu Chen with admiration and respect.
On the other end of the phone, Zhu Tonghua was completely dumbfounded.
He really invited him?
No kidding?
“Mr. Zhu, do you have anything else to say?”
Chu Chen spoke in a calm tone.
Zhu Tonghua was momentarily speechless.
Chu Chen actually managed to invite Gao Zhengqi!!
“Hmph, even if you invited him, what of it, your previous shooting is entirely void, starting over would cost at least three to five hundred million, or even more.”
“With so many companies halting cooperation with you now, do you still have the money?”
Finally, Zhu Tonghua still was unwilling to give up, coldly sneering as he asked.
“Do I seem like someone who couldn’t come up with just five hundred million?”
Chu Chen responded with mild exasperation.
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock on the door resounded once more.
“Come in.”
“Mr. Chu, ten billion just arrived in the company’s account.”
A secretary-looking lady stated.
Ten billion!
Originally they needed just five hundred million to turn things around, now they had ten billion!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tonghua was completely frozen.
Ten billion!
Where on earth did Chu Chen come up with ten billion?
Zhu Tonghua cursed inwardly.
Angel Entertainment Group’s market value was only around twenty-eight billion, Chu Chen owned half, which was about fourteen billion, and now all that money was tied up.
How could Chu Chen so easily raise ten billion again?
Zhu Tonghua was completely lost for words.
“Dammit, dammit, I’m so angry!”
Zhu Tonghua cursed loudly and furiously smashed his phone to the ground!
He originally hoped to collapse Angel Entertainment Group this time or at least gravely injure it.
For that, he paid a huge price!
In the end, Angel Entertainment Group was unscathed.
Meanwhile, the money he spent, both large and small, added up to two or three hundred million.
And he still had to pay Cheng Rantao’s colossal breach-of-contract fee!
This action would cost him at least more than five hundred million in losses!
Zhu Tonghua was fuming mad!!!
…
In the conference room, the executives cheered upon hearing Zhu Tonghua’s angry curses.
At that moment, these Angel Entertainment’s top executives were truly convinced by Chu Chen.
Their chairman was truly awesome!
One phone call brought in award-winning actor Gao Zhengqi, and he casually raised ten billion to alleviate the group’s financial crisis.
Awesome, the chairman was truly awesome!
“Everyone, don’t think this matter is over.”
Just as they thought it was over, Chu Chen spoke up.
Chu Chen’s words caused some confusion among them.
It wasn’t over yet?
