Chapter 467 This CEO Chen is up to something!
Lin Shichang made a hurried phone call to the person in charge of the organizer, who was also the editor-in-chief of Southern Metropolis Daily.
The organizer of the Chinese music awards ceremony is not a fixed entity; various media outlets and even internet companies can participate. This year, it's Southern Metropolis Daily's turn.
As soon as the call connected, he said into the phone, "Editor-in-Chief Gu, have you seen the news online? Chen Jincheng might be arrested soon, so we can't award him any more prizes at our music awards ceremony."
“If an artist with such a bad reputation is awarded an award and then goes to jail, then the music awards ceremony will really become a big joke.”
He knew that if he said that, the other party would definitely consider it.
After all, these organizers certainly don't want to ruin the Chinese music festival; it's in their best interests.
Every year, both the organizers and non-organizers of the event reap huge profits.
Therefore, he was confident that he could persuade Editor-in-Chief Gu to convene a meeting to re-evaluate the awards. This would not only benefit his son-in-law, ensuring he would win an award, but also allow him to vent his anger.
But the cold voice of Editor-in-Chief Gu came from the other end of the phone: "Teacher Lin, although you are a specially invited award presenter, you are not qualified to ask who gets the award. That is decided by the judges."
Lin Shichang was taken aback when he heard this; something was wrong.
He was about to say, "Editor-in-Chief Gu..."
The other person interrupted him directly: "The most important thing is for people to do their own job well and not meddle in things they shouldn't. Don't you think so, Teacher Lin?"
Lin Shichang was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the other party hung up the phone.
On the other side, Gu Hui put down his subordinate and said to the people next to him with a disdainful look: "This Lin Shichang really thinks he's something. If we teach him a lesson, he'll be Teacher Lin. If we don't, he'll be a clown that everyone wants to beat tomorrow."
A man next to him laughed and said, "He's pretending to be mourning his deceased wife, but he's keeping a female college student on the side. If it weren't for the huge age difference, he probably would have married her."
Another person asked, "Editor-in-Chief Gu, what is Lin Shichang calling about this time?"
Gu Hui joked, "Just like us, he's doing this because of the news about Chen Jincheng online. But he doesn't have our connections. He actually believed that President Chen would get arrested. It's ridiculous. Besides, it seems like the other party has some dirty dealings with this President Chen."
The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Upon seeing the news, those qualified to be the organizers of the music festival naturally gathered together to discuss the matter.
They really didn't want the music awards ceremony to be ruined. If Chan Kam-ching were really arrested, they would definitely replace him as the presenter. But they used their connections to confirm that Chan Kam-ching had not been formally charged at all.
What happened at Second Starry Sky wasn't targeted at just one company, but rather a routine test that all MCN media companies have to undergo.
In this situation, even if there are problems with Ershi Xingchen, it can't be linked to Chen Jincheng, since he only sells rice phones, his own soda wine, and Hanfu.
Therefore, Lin Shichang is indeed ridiculous, actually thinking that Chen Jincheng is really finished and resorting to this kind of trick.
Even the other party was unaware that they actually wanted to curry favor with Chen Jincheng this time, mainly because they wanted to invite Er Shi Xing Chen to join the list of organizers for the music festival.
It's quite simple. In the new era, the power of short video promotion is growing, and the live streaming and broadcasting of such grand events on online platforms are also indispensable. Ershi Xingchen can satisfy both of these requirements.
With Chan Kam-Ching also having his own representative musical works, this makes it even more perfect.
What qualifications does Lin Shih-chang's son-in-law have to compete?
One of them said with a smile, "Director Gu, should we contact President Chen about this? Maybe we can do him a favor."
Gu Hui thought this made sense, so he took out his phone and dialed Chen Jincheng's number.
...
in the hotel.
Chen Jincheng and Xue Qian had finished their tea and were preparing to go back and rest to recharge for tomorrow's music gala, since most of them would be giving interviews and even performing on stage.
"Old Cheng, are you really alright?" Xue Qian couldn't help but ask.
The situation online has now escalated into online harassment of Lao Cheng. He has experienced online harassment before, so he knows how difficult this situation is to endure.
Chen Jincheng shook his head and said, "I'm not worried at all, Lao Xue, what are you worried about? Go and prepare well, don't you have a performance tomorrow?"
Seeing that he said that, Xue Qian nodded and dispersed with the others to go back to his room to rest.
The online commotion was huge, and everyone was paying attention to the situation online, since it was about Chen Jincheng, and they had at least been in contact with him.
Chen Jincheng returned to the hotel, only to receive a call from an unknown number. Seeing that it wasn't an ordinary number, he answered, "Hello, this is Chen Jincheng!"
"Mr. Chen, hello. I am Gu Hui, the editor-in-chief of Southern Metropolis Daily, the organizer of this year's music awards ceremony."
"Southern Metropolis Daily? I wonder why Director Gu called me?"
He was puzzled, as he had no connection with the other party.
Could it be because of something that happened online?
Gu Hui immediately explained, "President Chen, there's some overconfident person trying to cause you trouble, so we're just letting you know."
Chen Jincheng was surprised to hear this. It felt like this was trying to curry favor with him. He smiled and asked, "Director Gu, what are you talking about?" Gu Hui immediately betrayed Lin Shichang: "The other party's name is Lin Shichang. You should remember him. This person is actually very hypocritical. He pretends to be missing his deceased wife, but in reality, he is keeping a female student."
"At his age, he can still get hard?" Chen Jincheng couldn't help but be surprised.
Gu Hui was completely stunned.
What?
Is Mr. Chen focusing on the wrong thing?
Is this what they're talking about?
However, this seems to be a problem. Lin Shih-chang is quite old; can he still manage?
Then, he quickly shook his head, almost being led astray, and immediately said, "President Chen, we wanted to ask if there's anything we can help with, such as dealing with Lin Shichang."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jincheng smiled and asked in return, "Director Gu, you made this special call, surely not for such a trivial matter?"
Gu Hui didn't hide anything: "President Chen, this little matter is naturally not at the level for us to talk about. The reason I took the liberty of making this call is that I want to invite President Chen's Second Generation Star to join the Voice Music Festival."
Chen Jincheng was taken aback when he heard this, but he understood what the other person meant.
This year's music awards ceremony was hosted by Southern Metropolis Daily, but there were several other qualified organizers. The purpose of inviting Er Shi Xing Chen is probably obvious, as if it were another world. Tencent also became one of the organizers.
However, hosting a music festival does have many benefits. Making money is one thing, but the more significant benefits are the fame, status, connections, and resources gained.
So he didn't refuse, saying, "President Gu, you can contact Sister Hong about this; she handles these kinds of cases."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, we will contact Ms. Chu Hong later." Gu Hui knew that the other party had agreed, and that the goal had been achieved. The 19 music festival could now be co-organized by Ershixingchen, Xiguang Media, and Keguang Technology.
Chen Jincheng then said, "Director Gu, if possible, I would like to arrange for Lin Shichang to present me with the award. After all, I plan to stir up some trouble. But Director Gu, don't worry, my troubles usually generate a lot of buzz, and many people will pay attention to our music awards ceremony."
"Moreover, this matter is also related to music, so it complements our music festival perfectly."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, leave it to me." Gu Hui immediately agreed.
After all, this Mr. Chen mentioned "our music gala" twice.
These are our own people now.
Moreover, he knew this person's ability to stir up trouble. Every time he stirred up trouble, it went viral online and became known to everyone. The impact was enormous. If that were the case, their music festival could indeed gain a lot of popularity and attention.
However, given the immense online buzz surrounding this person, which amounted to serious cyberbullying, the fact that they still have the audacity to stir up trouble shows they are incredibly calm and collected, even in the face of a collapsing mountain.
After hanging up the phone, he also told the other people about the conversation: "Chen Jincheng has agreed. We can send someone to talk to Ershixingchen. As for Lin Shichang, we need to arrange for him to present the award to President Chen."
This made the others nod in agreement, and even show some interest:
"I wonder what Mr. Chen is up to this time."
"I'm also a bit curious; I think the music awards ceremony will definitely generate a lot of traffic."
"..."
Clearly, Chan Kam-ching was well-known and unmatched in his ability to stir up trouble, so they still believed what he said.
This is what credibility is.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jincheng took out his laptop, opened an encrypted file in a private account, and saw a row of song titles: "The Year in a Hurry", "Peach Blossom Promise", "Painted Heart", "Anhe Bridge", "Forgot"... "Clouds and Sea", "The Last Page".
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
He went to open the door and saw Jiang Xiaobai and Xiaowanzi outside, looking at him sweetly.
"Come in!" Chen Jincheng greeted.
……
On the other side, Lin Shichang was furious after being hung up on by Editor-in-Chief Gu. He cursed and swore in the hotel for a long time, and his son-in-law joined in, also very unhappy: "I think this music awards ceremony will be as bad as that movie awards sooner or later. What a piece of trash. Aren't they afraid that if Chen Jincheng is arrested, they will ruin his reputation by giving him the award?"
Fortunately, Lin Shih-chang soon received a message from the organizers that the schedule for the music festival had been finalized.
He couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he was assigned to present the award to Chan Kam-ching.
Isn't this handing him an opportunity?
If you can't hold your temper, then this is a good opportunity. You can take the chance to ask the other party a question about whether having only two works is just luck and doesn't live up to their reputation. This will put the other party in an awkward position.
By then, the other party will surely know what anger feels like.
He's old enough not to be afraid of some rich man. Does he think the other party would want to kill him over something so trivial?
Now it is a society ruled by law.
It seems that the editor-in-chief, Gu, who just hung up on him, knew about his shady dealings with Chen Jincheng and deliberately gave him an opportunity to make his move.
After all, hanging up on him directly was going too far; he is a well-known and influential figure in the domestic music industry.
He understood this simple hint.
