Starting from joining Tencent Video

As soon as Chen Yao stepped out of the auditorium, he was pulled aside by Meng Ziyi, who was waiting outside.

"Yaoyao, thank you this time!"

Meng Ziyi sincerely expressed her gratitude.

The only thing that made Chen Yao's face fall into confusion was his words.

"Ziyi, why are you thanking me?!"

Chen Yao directly raised his question.

"During the audition, the director thought I would steal the show."

"It was that older brother you know who spoke up for me."

"They probably saw us standing together chatting."

...

Meng Ziyi didn't hide anything and explained.

This surprised Chen Yao, but his gaze toward Meng Ziyi was rather strange.

She was certain that she and this "acquaintance brother" were not actually that close.

The two met only once and didn't even exchange a single word.

Could it be that my acquaintance, the older brother, has taken a liking to Meng Ziyi or something?

Some unspoken rules or similar concepts in the industry involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Moreover, there's another point: Jian Dan's character could be considered the second female lead, but she feels she can only be considered the third female lead.

However, Chen Yao quickly shook his head, dispelling the thought.

It's also possible that you just happen to feel that it's a good match or that you have a connection with someone.

She remembered her parents talking about Chen Jingyuan, who had always been a model student since childhood.

He never worried Aunt Liu, and went on to get into Shenzhen University and join Tencent.

Joining Tencent has not overshadowed his excellence.

"Yaoyao, do you know how to contact this producer?"

"At the very least, we should treat you to a meal to express our gratitude."

Meng Ziyi was unaware of Chen Yao's thoughts and instead inquired about them.

If it weren't for this person's help, she really wouldn't have had a chance.

It is only natural that we should express our gratitude.

"Let me ask you something!"

Chen Yao pulled himself together from his chaotic thoughts and replied.

It just so happens that today is the weekend, and Chen Keke should be on holiday, so we can call her directly.

Previously, because of the art exams, the two chatted quite a lot on weekends.

Chen Keke would complain to her about the difficulties of the training, and before she knew it, she began to regard her as a younger sister.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had an older brother named Chen Jingyuan.

Chen Keke will never lack resources in the future.

Chen Yao couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Sister Yaoyao, what do you need my brother's contact information for!?"

"I just have a few questions I'd like to ask."

...

After the call was connected, Chen Yao seemed somewhat insincere.

Chen Keke seemed unaware of her brother's identity, and she wouldn't expose him.

Fortunately, we finally got their contact information!

"Let's get in touch again after the auditions are over in the next few days."

"The roles haven't been fully finalized yet."

...

Chen Yao spoke to Meng Ziyi, his words carrying a great deal of consideration.

"Yaoyao, let's add each other on WeChat."

Meng Ziyi nodded, but quickly realized what she meant and said...

Although they were in the same grade, they were in different classes before and didn't have much contact.

"good!"

Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, but then quickly realized what was going on.

at the same time!

Chen Jingyuan had no idea how his mind was imagining him.

Besides Chen Yao and the other person, he also met many other future stars during the audition.

Some of them graduated but haven't become famous yet, while others are still in school and may become famous in the future.

He was an outsider before, but now that he's a producer, he has a different perspective.

This time, the restriction applies to newcomers or those who don't have much fame.

Otherwise, you might have more opportunities to meet celebrities.

For example, Gulnazar, who was born in 11, became famous in the early days of the millennium because of her role in Xuan-Yuan Sword.

In addition, there are arrangements in place for signing with Sugar Man, and the production team had previously released information about it.

To save on actor fees, they chose newcomers, so this person naturally wouldn't participate in the audition.

In just three days, the preliminary selection has been finalized!

The roles of Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao were tacitly agreed upon by Liu Chang.

As for the choice of the male and female leads, Liu Chang chose Zhu Yilong and Tan Songyun.

Both of them have already graduated and possess considerable acting skills.

Most importantly, none of them are famous, so they don't need much in terms of pay.

In particular, neither of them had any demands regarding their pay.

I value this performance opportunity even more!

The female lead is the same as originally planned, but the male lead was originally supposed to be Liu Haoran.

The problem is that Liu Haoran is currently a high school student preparing for the art college entrance exam, and he doesn't know where he is yet.

I definitely won't choose this one!

"Director Liu, let's select people based on this list."

"We hope to start filming as soon as possible so that the film can be released."

After glancing at the list, Chen Jingyuan slowly spoke.

"Mr. Chen, don't worry!"

"The location has been chosen, and it should be ready to go in ten days at most."

Liu Chang spoke up without hesitation.

He was extremely grateful to this Mr. Chen.

Aside from giving him opportunities, there was little interference in the casting process.

Two female supporting characters are nothing at all.

In some projects, the male and female leads are even pre-selected before filming begins.

It can be said that this person has given him a great deal of authority.

Chen Jingyuan nodded, showing considerable trust in Liu Chang.

After all, this person was the original director of "The Best of Us".

The filming location was chosen to be a high school on Qingdao Island. After casting, Liu Chang left some staff members to contact the actors and then went there first.

There are still many things to handle in Qingdao, such as filming equipment and personnel arrangements.

Chen Jingyuan dispatched Wang Tingting and others from his studio to accompany him and take charge of accounting and coordination.

Newcomer Qiao Yujie was also sent to help out.

As for producer Chen Jingyuan, he's not in a hurry, since he's mostly just a figurehead.

The specific tasks are all left to the director and other people in the studio.

For a moment, I had some free time!

"Joining Tencent Video back then was the right decision."

Such a thought involuntarily came to Chen Jingyuan's mind.

He knew that the best of us wouldn't have bad grades.

There's no need to worry about project failure, so there's naturally not much pressure.

With a relaxed mindset, he felt he could spend a few more days exploring Yanjing.

Even if they go to the film set, they're mostly just spectators.

Doesn't this turn into a publicly funded trip?!

Projects and such were just incidental, since it was all done by my subordinates.

Chen Jingyuan was primarily responsible for planning this project; how to complete it was left to others.

Of course, as long as he continues to succeed, this model is perfectly fine.

Suddenly, at that moment, a call came in from an unknown number!

"It's Brother Jingyuan, I'm Chen Yao."

"Would you like to have a meal with me?!"

...

Chen Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, but he accepted the invitation.

We're from the same hometown and have some connection, so I wouldn't refuse a meal.

He probably knew what Chen Yao was thinking and should be grateful for the audition.

Now that the casting has been finalized, Chen Yao has received information about signing with the production team.
