He hasn't even made a name for himself as a singer yet, and he's already jumping into the film and television industry. Isn't that a bit too ambitious?
I know Jiang Chen is greedy.
But that's just too greedy.
G.E.M.: "You haven't even paid off your debts, and you're already starting a company and making movies?"
Jiang Chen: "The creditor has agreed to postpone the repayment for a few months. Since we have the time and money, let's take a gamble."
G.E.M.: "What if the box office is a flop?"
Jiang Chen: "I accept my fate!"
G.E.M.: "How can you do things without considering the consequences at all?"
Jiang Chen: "It was precisely because I was considering the consequences that I decided to take a gamble."
G.E.M.: "You're really crazy!"
Jiang Chen: "If you're going to come into this world, you should go crazy for once, otherwise what's the point?"
It's no use saying anything now.
We can only wait and see.
G.E.M. hopes Jiang Chen will succeed.
Otherwise, if he were to suffer another blow, she wasn't sure if Jiang Chen would be able to get back on his feet.
...
The other singers finished their performances one after another.
They were somewhat surprised to see Jiang Chen, whom they hadn't seen for many days.
Jiang Chen was thinner than before, and seemed to be eating and sleeping poorly.
Zhou Bichang: "Teacher Jiang, are you alright?"
Zhang Yu: "Don't scare me, the Chinese music scene is still waiting for you to carry it forward."
Jiang Chen: "Do I look like someone who's in trouble?"
Han Lei: "Then why do you look so haggard?"
Jiang Chen: "I've been quite busy lately, and the pressure has been immense, so I'm feeling rather tired."
Cao Ge: "What's going on? Can't you write any songs?"
Jiang Chen: "Do you think I still need to worry about my singing?"
Zhang Jie: "So what happened?"
Jiang Chen: "It's nothing, I just filmed a movie."
The singers were taken aback.
"You've actually been making a movie all this time?"
They always say that Jiang Chen runs faster than a cheetah after recording "I Am a Singer".
It turns out he was busy filming a movie.
Jiang Chen: "Yes!"
Zhou Bichang: "Aren't you planning to be a singer anymore?"
Jiang Chen: "Filming and singing shouldn't interfere with each other, right?"
Zhou Bichang: "But some singers rarely sing after they become movie stars."
Jiang Chen: "That's them, not me."
Zhang Jie: "What movie are you filming?"
He was a singer who joined the competition as a replacement.
They broke through in the qualifying rounds and advanced to the semifinals.
Jiang Chen: "This will be kept secret for now. I will tell everyone when it is time to make it public."
Cao Ge: "It seems that making movies is even more arduous than singing; even Teacher Jiang has lost weight."
Jiang Chen: "I have too many things to do, that's why I'm like this. There aren't many actors who are as thin as me."
Cao Ge: "Didn't you just tell me to film the scene well? What else do you need to do?"
Jiang Chen: "I'm not an actor, I'm a director."
"What?"
"Are you the director?"
Everyone present was speechless.
Because of Jiang Chen's good looks, they only thought of him as an actor, and would never consider him as a director.
The professional knowledge required to be a director is too much for a novice to grasp instantly.
Unless Jiang Chen had studied directing before, it's impossible to achieve success overnight.
G.E.M. was speechless.
She only thought of Jiang Chen as the boss and the actor.
I didn't think about it from the director's perspective.
The director is a sacred figure in her heart.
It requires extensive experience and professional knowledge to take on this role.
Jiang Chen clearly lacks experience.
She doesn't consider Jiang Chen to be a director.
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Jiang Chen said speechlessly, "What? Surprised?"
Cao Ge: "Shouldn't you be surprised?"
Zhang Jie: "When did you acquire this kind of professional knowledge?"
Jiang Chen: "It's already in place, you just didn't know it."
Han Lei: "So, you've been planning this movie for a long time?"
Jiang Chen: "Yes."
Wow!
Jiang Chen is truly unpredictable.
Just when you thought he was going to pursue a career as a singer, he turned to film.
You never know what he'll do next.
Zhou Bichang: "Which company invested in this movie?"
Jiang Chen: "I'm the only one who would dare to let me be the director, right?"
Everyone was astonished: "You invested in and made your own movie?"
Jiang Chen: "Is that not allowed?"
Zhang Jie: "Damn, where did you get the funds?"
Jiang Chen: "By buying on credit!"
Zhang Yu: "You can play it like this?"
Jiang Chen: "As long as you're not embarrassed, it's always others who are embarrassed!"
Cao Ge: "Even if you ask, they might not agree."
Jiang Chen: "My strength is my bargaining chip!"
This confidence is unparalleled.
All the singers present admired Jiang Chen's courage and confidence.
They would never dare to take that risk.
Unless they have hundreds of millions of dollars, they would never dare to invest in and produce their own films.
...
After all the singers finished performing, it was time to announce the results.
Director Hong Tao invited the seven singers to come back on stage.
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Chen once again won first place thanks to her outstanding singing skills.
Although she is currently in poor condition, she is still better than most singers.
The singer who came in second place in the semi-finals was G.E.M.
The remaining rankings are Han Lei, Cao Ge, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Jie, and Zhang Yu.
This round is not an elimination round, so no one was eliminated.
However, in the first round of the next "King of Singers" competition, the two people with the lower scores will be eliminated.
