Chen Jinfei, a business tycoon, has been controversial because of his complicated life experiences. The ambiguous relationship between him and the "fairy sister" Liu Yifei and Yang Caiyu, who is 30 years younger than him, has been criticized by the outside world.
However, his outstanding achievements in the shopping mall and his help in the careers of the two actresses have earned him a certain amount of praise. Chen Jinfei's legendary experience reflects the complex interpersonal relationships in the entertainment industry, and also shows his shrewd ability as a successful person.
Born in Shanghai in 1962, Chen Jinfei came from a dull and conservative working-class family. But since he was a child, he was brilliant and ambitious, determined to change his destiny. Relying on diligence and studiousness, Chen Jinfei was admitted to Chinese People's University and obtained a bachelor's degree in economics.
After graduating from university, he could have worked in a stable state-owned enterprise, but he looked at the new era and resolutely decided to go to the sea to do business and break into the vast world of capital.
In the mid-80s, Chen Jinfei first showed his skills in the fast-rising real estate market, taking advantage of the loose timing of the monetary system to hoard land and obtain the first pot of gold.
By the 90s, he had risen to the top of the list of the richest people in the mainland and was known as the "Diamond King". In 2003, Chen Jinfei was selected as a book documenting contemporary business wizards, alongside Ren Zhengfei and Ma Yun, becoming a model of the new chaebol.
Chen Jinfei, whose career was becoming increasingly successful, also extended his tentacles to the film and television industry that was booming at that time. In 1994, Chen Jinfei met 5-year-old Liu Yifei, took a fancy to her star appearance, and volunteered to train her to become a new generation of darlings.
Liu Yifei also gladly accepted it, and since then has regarded Chen Jinfei as her "godfather". For Chen Jinfei, Liu Yifei's natural beauty and temperament are the star material he dreams of.
Chen Jinfei tailor-made a Red Star Dock brokerage company for Liu Yifei, and recruited seven employees to serve Liu Yifei wholeheartedly. He used his network resources to let Liu Yifei, who is still studying at Nortel, directly play the heroine in many popular TV series.
Under Chen Jinfei's careful packaging and promotion, Liu Yifei quickly became popular with dramas such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and became a household name.
At the age of 18, Chen Jinfei did not hesitate to use a huge amount of 1.8 million yuan to prepare a luxurious and grand birthday party for Liu Yifei, inviting hundreds of friends in the circle, showing his doting feelings as a "godfather" in an all-round way.
After successfully gaining a foothold in China, Chen Jinfei set his sights on the broad stage of Hollywood. He spent a lot of money to contact UTA, a big brokerage company that promoted Zhang Ziyi to the international market at that time, and handed it over to them to build Liu Yifei's image overseas.
It didn't take long for Liu Yifei to appear in a big-budget movie like "Mulan", but the results were not as expected.
After a few years of downturn, Liu Yifei had to return to the small screen and regain her brilliance in the TV series. Although the road to Hollywood is bleak, Liu Yifei is still very grateful to Chen Jinfei for cultivating her.
In the eyes of the outside world, the overly close relationship between Chen and Liu is really suspicious. Although they have repeatedly emphasized that it is only the pure relationship between their goddaughter and godfather, all kinds of ambiguous behaviors still make people speculate whether they are secretly tender.
In 2017, in order to calm the doubts of the outside world, Chen Jinfei made a high-profile public relationship with Yang Caiyu, a cutting-edge film and television actor who is 30 years younger than him, like a pair of golden boys and girls. This made the public believe that Chen and Liu really didn't have any thoughts about it.
is the same as cultivating Liu Yifei, Chen Jinfei also helped Yang Caiyu with all his might. He used his influence to let Yang Caiyu serve as the second female lead in the literary film "Fanghua" directed by Feng Xiaogang, and was successfully promoted to the actress candidate.
Next, she played an important role in hit dramas such as "Ode to Joy 3" and "Dajiang Dahe 2". Yang Caiyu became famous for a while and was named "Little Liu Yifei" by the outside world.
It is rumored that the two also secretly got married in 2019, but Yang Caiyu quickly denied the news in 2021. There are all kinds of signs that Chen Yang's relationship has been tepid after a short period of hot love and is about to break down.
Recently, Chen Jinfei was photographed by the paparazzi having a secret meeting with a sweet-looking girl in a shopping mall, looking like a "young version of Liu Yifei", the two are intimate, and they seem to have been familiar with each other for a long time.
The outside world speculates that although Chen Jinfei is old, he still has a strong desire for conquest and adventurous spirit in his blood, and he is still looking for his favorite beauty in his twilight years. This also confirms his emotionally fickle personality.
The ambiguous relationship between Chen Jinfei and the two actresses has always been the focus of discussion in the outside world. We don't know if there is some secret past between them. But what is certain is that Chen Jinfei's outstanding achievements in the business world, as well as his promotion of Liu Yifei and Yang Caiyu's acting careers, are obvious to all. What do you think about this?
