Starting from joining Tencent Video

On a new day, Chen Jingyuan led Liu Yang and his group onto a plane bound for Yanjing.

However, this time there is one difference: Lao Huang is with us.

"Director, I wouldn't dare."

About four hours later, we landed safely!

Director Liu Chang arrived at the airport early with his entourage to pick them up.

There is no doubt that this person is grateful to Chen Jingyuan.

The success of "The Best of Us" directly led to this person becoming a well-known director.

However, Liu Chang did not blindly start new projects.

Even when scripts or investors approached him, he remained tight-lipped.

This person only agreed after Tianhe Studio sent a second collaboration request.

The main reason is that this actor was given too much credit, and the script was also very good.

There are also many aspects related to sovereignty.

It would be completely unreasonable not to take on this project if it's suitable in every aspect.

"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time!"

"Director Liu, it seems like it's only been half a year."

...

The two seemed quite familiar with each other when they met.

As it was getting late, Liu Chang led the group to a high-end restaurant.

After a quick meal, they took Chen Jingyuan to the hotel.

We'll discuss the specifics tomorrow.

The next morning, Chen Jingyuan was having breakfast when he discussed various issues related to "Hello, Old Times" with Liu Chang.

Because preparations began early this time, many things are already in place.

Basically, it was Liu Chang and Chen Jingyuan reporting.

"I have complete confidence in Director Liu's work."

"As for casting, it's scheduled for three days from now."

"There's no need to rush this time; just focus on ensuring quality."

...

Chen Jingyuan spoke slowly.

"Mr. Chen, this time we'll definitely take it slow."

Liu Chang smiled and said that sometimes many film producers and investors hope to make a profit as soon as possible.

This one, however, didn't seem to care, which is rather unique.

However, the person in front of him seemed to have been promoted again at Tencent Video, a fact he learned from Liu Yang and others.

It's not like when we filmed "The Best of Us".

There was absolutely no pressure.

Even this defeat is nothing to the person in front of him.

That explains why there's no need to rush this time.

After chatting for about an hour, Liu Chang left to attend to other matters.

Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but start thinking about what he should do.

I'll have plenty of free time in the next few days.

Where should I go for a walk this time? Or maybe I should climb the Great Wall to get some exercise.

He feels his physical strength has declined somewhat recently, perhaps due to a lack of exercise.

Just then, a WeChat call popped up.

As soon as Chen Jingyuan saw this profile picture, the image of Meng Ziyi immediately came to mind.

"Little Meng?!"

After answering the phone, Chen Jingyuan spoke first.

As they chatted more, his way of addressing Meng Ziyi became fixed.

"Jingyuan, are you in Yanjing?!"

"I saw the casting announcement for 'Hello, Old Times'."

"It was also handled by Tianhe Studio!"

...

Meng Ziyi's voice rang out from the phone.

However, Chen Jingyuan was still surprised, as he was not as perceptive as this person.

"I am indeed in Yanjing!"

Chen Jingyuan did not refute the answer.

At least he and Meng Ziyi could be considered to have a good relationship.

Besides, it's nice to have someone to keep you company.

The main reason is that Dilraba has already joined the cast of "Diamond Lover" and is not in Yanjing at all.

In Yanjing, it seems that only Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao are familiar to him.

"Jingyuan, I'd like to have lunch with you."

Meng Ziyi's voice continued, her words quite straightforward.

Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan already knew about this person's personality.

"Okay, let's go to the same place as last time."

Chen Jingyuan thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.

After agreeing on the terms, they hung up the phone temporarily.

Since the plan to climb the Great Wall was temporarily canceled, I changed my clothes and went to the hotel's gym.

At this point, Chen Jingyuan realized that he really should buy a house in Yanjing.

Otherwise, it's quite troublesome to bring only a few clothes.

Currently, the funds in the stock account, plus previous project bonuses, have exceeded 3000 million.

With more funds available, the snowball effect accelerated rapidly.

Let's wait until next year!

If Chen Jingyuan remembers correctly, a speculative stock emerged next year with a price increase of over 40 times.

Considering the risks of the stock market and the need for diversified investment, he is not greedy and is content with just multiplying his funds several times over.

By that time, we will have much more money available.

Chen Jingyuan didn't dwell on it for long and soon arrived at the gym.

I trained for about two hours.

Time flew by and it was almost noon. After a quick shower and a change of clothes, I prepared to go to my appointment.

Half an hour later!

Chen Jingyuan did meet with Meng Ziyi, and she hadn't changed much since six months ago.

Perhaps because of the weather, she looked a bit petite in the trench coat.

"Brother Jingyuan!"

Seeing Chen Jingyuan, Meng Ziyi appeared quite happy.

The main reason was that Chen Jingyuan gave her the feeling of being the older brother next door.

When faced with some troubles, this person knows how to comfort others.

"Let's order first!"

"And where is Chen Yao?!"

Chen Jingyuan asked with a look of curiosity on his face.

After she finished speaking, Meng Ziyi's face showed some anger.

"Yaoyao has already joined the crew."

"I heard that Sugar Man has arranged two more dramas."

"A short film, a web series!"

"As a result, Rongxin actually said that my acting skills were not good enough and I needed to practice."

...

Meng Ziyi spoke with great emotion, mostly complaining about her agency.

A hint of understanding appeared in Chen Jingyuan's eyes.

It's clear that, given the comparison, Xiao Meng is quite anxious.

Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao were originally considered to have debuted at the same time because of "The Best of Us".

Some comparisons are inevitable!

Even though Meng Ziyi had previously played the second female lead, Rong Xin didn't arrange anything for her.

With Chen Yao already on set filming, it's understandable that he feels somewhat unbalanced.

Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh, Rong Xinda did indeed seem rather unreliable.

Previously, Zhou Xun and Yang Mi both terminated their contracts through legal procedures.

In terms of resource allocation, it's indeed a bit unreasonable.

Before her rebirth, Meng Ziyi apparently terminated her contract in 17 or 18.

However, since Meng Ziyi wasn't very famous at the time, the contract termination didn't cause much of a stir.

It's also possible that they paid a significant amount of compensation to terminate the contract early.

Chen Jingyuan quietly listened and kept serving food to Meng Ziyi.

Turn grief and anger into appetite!

He could still tell that this person had a good appetite.

I probably haven't eaten much lately because I was angry.

"I wish I hadn't signed with Rongxin."

"Let's go to the sugar figurine shop with Yaoyao!"

While eating, Meng Ziyi muttered something.

Chen Jingyuan shook his head inwardly; he did know one thing.

Generally speaking, actors of the same age should not sign with the same agency.

This could lead to conflicts over resources, and in the end, you might not even be able to remain friends.
