From Becoming Penguin's Major Shareholder to Building an Entertainment Empire

Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.

It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...

Chapter 271 ends, the new year begins.

"Dear viewers, every year there is a New Year's Eve, and people from all over the world are always connected by affection."

Zhu Jun: "At this joyous moment of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new, looking back on the past year, I think every Chinese person can face the world and say, 'The scenery here is uniquely beautiful.'"

The second program was a performance by Song Zuying.

(The scenery here is exceptionally beautiful)

The singer's voice is truly exceptional; she can effortlessly hit high notes. Everyone applauded the song praising the motherland.

And then...

The crosstalk performances by Feng Gong, Guo Donglin, and Lu Ming, both on and off stage.

The current Feng Gong doesn't yet have that classic line: "My dear audience, I've missed you all so much!"

Guo Donglin still has hair.

To be honest, the three of them were all dressed in suits and ties, which looked awkward no matter how you looked at it. They didn't look as good as wearing traditional Chinese robes. The crosstalk wasn't very funny either; it was basically just singing.

The basic skills of crosstalk are speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing, but this only reflects singing. It's called crosstalk, but it's actually not very good.

However, the audience still gave it a warm round of applause.

Then, surprisingly, a variety show celebrating spring appeared.

First up is Man Wenjun, the performer of "Longing for Spring".

Next up was the performer of "Playing in Spring": the Galaxy Children's Choir. A group of children, dressed in brightly colored clothes, were jumping and skipping around. Liu Yue'e liked them very much and gave them enthusiastic applause.

Performers of "Wing Chun": Wang Yan, Wang Li, Zhai Huijuan

Performers of "Spring Herald": Yang Hongji and Yinhe Children's Choir.

Performers of "Spring Outing": Ge Xiaolu, Wang Duo, Zhang Yuanyuan.

Performer of "Welcoming Spring": Ding Yi (Singing and horse team performance in Shenzhen)

It's mostly sung by professional vocalists. Although it's not pop music, it has a pretty artistic feel. But to be honest, Shen Fang doesn't like watching it, and not only him, but Liu Qianqian, Fan Xiaopang, Shen Lanlan, Shen Kun, Xiao Ma Ge, and others don't like watching it either.

The following performances were all pretty mediocre. Only Stefanie Sun and Xie Xiaodong sang one song that was decent.

When the ninth program on the straight track appears.

Shen Fang's eyes lit up. Xun Ge, Lu Yi, and two other groups sang a song called "This Year's Wonderful".

They sang well, a handsome man and a beautiful woman combination.

Lu Yi's unwavering gaze propelled him to the pinnacle of young male celebrities in China; his tall and handsome image has captivated countless young women and wives. As for Xun Ge, she's now quite famous, with a charming and cute appearance and a decent singing voice; she originally entered the entertainment industry through music.

Dou Peng was Dou Xian's cousin.

I waited for ages.

Finally, Kelly Chen made her appearance.

With her classic curly hair, red and black outfit, knitted red hat, black skirt, and ankle boots, Kelly Chen was originally supposed to go to Shenzhen for a performance and prepare for the online event. However, she voluntarily stayed in Beijing. Just kidding, as soon as the show ended, she could go home with her sweet husband for New Year's Eve. Why go to Shenzhen?

After a cheerful rendition of "Searching for Plum Blossoms in the Snow," Chen Huilin, with a smile on her face, bowed to the audience along with the stage crew. When she saw Chen Fang standing and waving at her, her smile widened even further.

Shen Fang didn't care much about the rest of the show. He had only brought his parents to watch it and wanted to support Chen Huilin, but the show was too boring. He only started to laugh when Zhao Benshan came on. The rest of the show was just so-so.

However, after appearing on just one show, Shen Fang was completely dumbfounded.

The singer of the song "Friends" was none other than Peng Lixing and the Twelve Women's Music Ensemble.

Wow, this is a whole new level!

Awesome, this trip was definitely worthwhile.

Finally, the Spring Festival Gala came to an end with the song "Unforgettable Tonight," and it was past midnight.

It took the crowd more than half an hour for everyone to finally get out.

"Ugh, my back is killing me! Four hours straight like this, I'm never coming back again," Liu Yue'e complained, rubbing her back.

Bang bang bang bang! ! ! !

At this moment, dazzling fireworks bloomed in the sky, radiant and captivating.

It's very beautiful.

Shen Lanlan pouted: "This trip has been nothing but torture, Uncle. Let's go home quickly, I'm exhausted."

Shen Fang nodded.

The group arrived at the parking lot and got into the car.

Chen Fang made a phone call.

"Where is Huilin?"

"I'm at the exit of Building 1, with Teacher Zhao."

"Then wait for us, we'll be right there."

Shen Fang started the car and arrived at the exit of Building No. 1 as night fell.

From a distance, you can see Chen Huilin, Zhao Benshan, Song Dandan, Feng Gong, Guo Da, Lu Yi, Zhou Xun, and others chatting animatedly, seemingly waiting for a car to pick them up.

Shen Fang got out of the car and waved to Chen Huilin.

"Linlin, over here."

Chen Huilin saw Shen Fang smiling as he looked at Zhao Benshan and the others.

"Teacher Zhao, Sister Dandan, I'm leaving now."

Zhao Benshan smiled and said, "I think so. Please give my regards to President Shen and wish him a Happy New Year."

After saying that, Zhao Benshan took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Chen Huilin.

Chen Huilin quickly waved her hand: "How can that be?"

Zhao Benshan stuffed it directly into Chen Huilin's pocket.

"Take it, don't be polite with me, take it, take it."

Chen Huilin absolutely refused.

Seeing the two shoving each other, Shen Fang thought something had happened and quickly came over. When he got closer, he was shocked to see that it was all over a red envelope.

Shen Fang took out cigarettes and handed them out to everyone, regardless of whether they knew each other or not. It was the New Year, so he handed them out first. When he handed one to Xun Ge, he hadn't originally intended to give it to her, but Zhou Gongzi snatched it away.
