Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 74 Consensus, Surprise (Seeking First Subscription)

The next day when Chen Jingyuan woke up, Reba, who had been standing next to him, was gone.

A sticky note was left on the bedside table, which read "Going to film a movie" along with a big smiley face and a heart.

After reading it, Chen Jingyuan smiled slightly and then realized that it was already nine o'clock. It was obvious that he had overslept.

In Shenzhen, my biological clock usually doesn't wake me up until 8:30, so it's not so easy to change that when I come to Hengdian.

Chen Jingyuan doesn't need to check in or be on the list, so his time is relatively flexible.

As long as the project succeeds, Sun Zhonghuai doesn't care at all about Chen Jingyuan's attendance.

"Time to go see Master Huang!"

Chen Jingyuan did not forget the important matter; the agreed time was eleven o'clock.

After a quick wash and breakfast, I quickly notified Chen Keke and the others, and that was about it.

Huang Xiaoming attended an event in Shanghai yesterday. He probably only arrived in the morning and should have left around 7 a.m., otherwise he wouldn't have made it in time.

Leaving at 7 AM means you might need to get up even earlier!

"Brother, I've been practicing the basics for two hours already."

As Chen Jingyuan stepped out of the room, he saw Chen Keke standing at the door, looking disgusted.

Bai Lu, who was following behind, looked at Chen Jingyuan and gave him an awkward but polite smile.

Faced with Chen Keke's teasing, she could only pretend not to hear it.

Director Chen may be unable to control his own sister, but he has no problem controlling her.

Under the watchful eyes of Chen Keke and Bai Lu, Chen Jingyuan slowly finished his breakfast.

A small bowl of congee, two side dishes, and two small steamed buns.

"It's still relatively early, there's no need to rush."

Chen Jingyuan glanced at the time and slowly spoke.

He could still tell that Chen Keke and Bai Lu were clearly a little excited.

Unlike Dilraba, who has just become famous, Huang Xiaoming is an artist who has been famous for many years.

Maybe they even grew up watching the show; that feels noticeably different.

Fortunately, this feeling disappears after spending more time with celebrities.

The waiting time could have passed quickly by playing on her phone, but Chen Keke clearly didn't think so.

"Brother, how did you and Reba fall in love?"

Chen Keke clearly wanted to witness the drama unfold in person!

Unfortunately, Chen Jingyuan had no intention of giving him that chance.

He can't possibly say that Yang Mi acted as a matchmaker and brought Dilraba to his door; there's no need for that.

It's better for adults to keep their exchanges of benefits more subtle, since Chen Keke doesn't need to worry about resources anyway.

Not long after, Huang Xiaoming appeared at the hotel entrance.

"It's just past 10 o'clock, half an hour earlier than the agreed 11 o'clock."

Chen Jingyuan glanced at the time, his expression showing some surprise, seemingly not expecting Huang Xiaoming to be so fast.

It looks like they set off early, probably at 6:30 or even earlier.

Led by the staff of Tianhe Studio in charge of guiding them, they quickly walked towards Chen Jingyuan's side.

Chen Jingyuan naturally wouldn't remain indifferent and immediately stood up to greet him.

Although he arrived a bit early, it shows that Huang Xiaoming values ​​this conversation.

"Teacher Huang!"

"Director Chen!"

Huang Xiaoming was initially puzzled when he saw Chen Jingyuan walking towards him, until someone from Tianhe Studio reminded him.

Although Huang Xiaoming had spoken with Chen Jingyuan on the phone before.

However, the two had never actually met, and Chen Jingyuan's voice was rather mature.

In addition, his life experience doesn't make him look particularly young, which led Huang Xiaoming to not notice any problem.

The main reason I agreed to participate in the variety show "Chinese Restaurant" was because the money was high and the planning and copywriting were good.

Furthermore, consider the rapid development of Tencent Video and the many successful projects it has undertaken in the past two years.

After that, Huang Xiaoming was busy preparing for his wedding and didn't learn much about "Chinese Restaurant" or Tianhe Studio.

Huang Xiaoming didn't ask Chen Jingyuan any detailed questions, but fortunately, he was very good at adapting to changing circumstances.

After introducing themselves, Chen Jingyuan and Huang Xiaoming had a very pleasant conversation.

"I really didn't expect the producer in charge of 'Chinese Restaurant' to be so young."

Huang Xiaoming was genuinely shocked.

He has met many producers, but very few are like Chen Jingyuan.

Especially in large companies like Tencent Video, it is even more difficult for young people to rise to the top.

In any case, Chen Jingyuan must have something special about him.

This time, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Jingyuan came to discuss matters related to "Chinese Restaurant".

As the store manager, Huang Xiaoming needs to take on more responsibility and get to know the other guests.

Huang Xiaoming also expressed his hope that the production team could start filming sooner.

"Teacher Huang, besides Yan Danchen, you also have Zhang Liang on your team this time."

"And there's Zhang Yunlong, who's gained some fame recently, and Huang Zongze from Hong Kong Island."

"And Bai Lu, an artist signed to my sister's studio."

Chen Jingyuan explained the program's content in detail, at least outlining the process.

You still need to understand the general framework, and then let the actors improvise relatively freely.

Whether an actor has a sense of variety show appeal depends on their teamwork.

Of course, Chen Jingyuan didn't forget to use his position for personal reasons and introduce Bai Lu.

"Teacher Xiaoming, I grew up watching your plays."

Bai Lu was clearly quite nervous and spoke up directly.

Thank you for your support!

These words brought a smile to Huang Xiaoming's face.

Huang Xiaoming's emotional intelligence goes without saying; he naturally understood Chen Jingyuan's intentions.

Please take extra care during the recording!

There is absolutely no problem for Huang Xiaoming.

Chen Jingyuan didn't forget to introduce his younger sister as well, so that he could get to know more people if he wanted to make it in the entertainment industry.

"Come on, let's all add a contact method."

"Feel free to ask me any problems you encounter in the future."

Huang Xiaoming spoke up politely, his words very frank and open.

Regardless of whether the problem can be solved, at least the attitude is very pleasing.

However, Huang Xiaoming knew that there was a high probability that he wouldn't be able to get help from them.

With someone like Director Chen around, what problem can't be solved?

With the backing of a penguin, its energy is undeniable.

In today's internet landscape dominated by two giants, many companies will give them some leeway.

Tencent's influence has begun to extend to all aspects of life.

However, Huang Xiaoming's actions still make him quite likable.

Noon arrived quickly, and Chen Jingyuan hosted a banquet for Huang Xiaoming with his family.

The discussions about "Chinese Restaurant" didn't end until 2 p.m.

At 12 o'clock later, the production team of "Chinese Restaurant" that Chen Jingyuan had arranged to meet also arrived.

Because Huang Xiaoming is in a hurry, he won't let things slip too much.

Involving the production team directly in the discussions yielded very good results.

At least the directing team and Huang Xiaoming and others were very satisfied.

Filming will begin on August 24th, and you will need to travel to Siam one or two days in advance.

"We'll try to finish filming within a month."

The producer, director, and actors all reached a consensus!

After the conversation ended, Huang Xiaoming returned to his hotel room and searched for information about Tianhe Studio online.

Although Tianhe Studio has already gained considerable fame among many actors.

However, Huang Xiaoming had not previously been involved in web series projects and did not have a detailed understanding of them.

You may have heard of it, but you still think of it as belonging to Tencent Video.

Huang Xiaoming's focus is more on the Tencent Video platform.

You wouldn't know unless you looked it up, and Huang Xiaoming was quite shocked when he did.

"Tianhe Studio has succeeded in so many projects!?"

Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but show a surprised expression as he murmured.

He knew about the popular variety show "Go Fighting!", but he didn't expect it to be produced by Tianhe Studio.

Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but think of Chen Jingyuan.

At first, Huang Xiaoming thought Chen Jingyuan was a relative.

It was only after introducing his sister's mother that they learned Chen Jingyuan was from a small county town in Gangcheng.

Furthermore, his family wasn't particularly wealthy before, and things only started to change after he graduated and joined Tencent.

These things weren't meant to be hidden; Liu Yulan praised her son quite a bit.

Chen Jingyuan truly changed his entire family through his abilities!

This further solidified Huang Xiaoming's desire to befriend Chen Jingyuan.

Chen Jingyuan is capable and controls resources, so as a socialite in the industry, he naturally wouldn't let him go.

While Huang Xiaoming was pondering, Chen Jingyuan led Chen Keke and others to the wrap party for "Goodbye My Princess".

After today's filming was completed, "Goodbye My Princess" has finally wrapped up filming.

It took almost five months from start to finish to complete the filming.

The editing process may take several months, and the release is scheduled for New Year's Day next year.

The post-production editing of a large-scale historical drama takes quite a bit of time.

After filming wrapped, Dilraba left in a hurry without even having time to attend the wrap party.

There was an event I needed to attend in Yanjing the next day, which required me to catch a flight overnight.

Fortunately, an apology and notification had been given in advance, so it didn't cause any trouble.

Moreover, the production team was aware of the relationship between Dilraba and Chen Jingyuan, so they naturally wouldn't refuse to give them face.

"Boss Yang seems to be under a lot of pressure."

Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but think of Yang Mi's current situation, and that's why he was so eager to get Dilraba involved in the event!

It's clear that Yang Mi didn't let any opportunity slip by after signing the performance-based agreement.

Among the artists currently signed by Jaywalk Studio, only Dilraba has the highest popularity, besides Yang Mi.

Naturally, the schedule for hot springs will definitely increase!

Chen Jingyuan did not stop it, mainly because he had no reason to stop it.

Dilraba can also earn a considerable appearance fee for some of her activities.

Making money while one is at the peak of their popularity is a common understanding among many celebrities today.

We can't wait until we're out of fashion before we start thinking about making money!

No one knows how long they can stay popular; some celebrities fade into obscurity faster than you might imagine.

Not only Dilraba, but Chen Jingyuan could also tell at the wrap party that another lead actor, Yang Yang, was also a bit restless.

It's obvious that they'll be heading there while waiting for the wrap party.

"Director Chen, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

While Chen Jingyuan was pondering, Zhang Yunlong came over to offer a toast, his words filled with gratitude.

Leaving aside the second male lead of "Goodbye My Princess," he was arranged to be a regular guest on a new variety show after the recording ended.

This is something that countless artists from Jaywalk Studio would envy.

As an artist signed with Jaywalk Studio, it's considered good if I get a few similar resources every year.

Unlike this year, ever since I started currying favor with this person, all sorts of resources have been coming my way.

This made Zhang Yunlong even more determined to curry favor with a powerful figure.

"Yunlong, I have high hopes for you."

"come on!"

Chen Jingyuan raised his wine glass, took a small sip, and said.

More than an hour later, the wrap party gradually ended.

It's just about eating and drinking; there's no need to go on and on about anything.

At least Chen Jingyuan was unwilling to let the crew members leave on their own after they had eaten and drunk their fill.

Chen Jingyuan was generally well-regarded by many crew members and studio staff.

Although he's the producer, he's more of a mascot!

The problematic project was created by the same person, so calling it a mascot isn't entirely accurate.

Or perhaps "hands-off manager" would be a more accurate description, but it's a good thing for the production team.

There's more room for maneuver!

After the wrap party, Chen Jingyuan held a short meeting with many people from his studio.

"Next, Wang Tingting's team will work on the post-production of 'Goodbye My Princess'."

"And I'm giving you an extra task: acquire the copyrights to some novels."

"Jiang Qiaodan and Liu Yang's teams are responsible for the affairs of the new variety show 'Chinese Restaurant'."

Chen Jingyuan made arrangements for some things regarding the studio's future.

Next, we'll focus on the variety show "Chinese Restaurant".

"Yes, Director!"

No one in the studio had any objection to Chen Jingyuan's arrangements.

Chen Jingyuan's repeated successes elevated his prestige within the studio to a very high level.

The next day, the studio staff began to take action.

Jiang Qiaodan and her two groups went to Siam ahead of time to familiarize themselves with the environment, while Wang Tingting's group also began to send many people to contact copyright holders according to the list given by Chen Jingyuan.

With four days until filming, Chen Jingyuan was not in a hurry to go.

I plan to spend a few more days in Hengdian with my mom and sister.

"Brother, can you take me with you to Siam?"

"I can still apply for a visa in time."

Chen Keke started acting up again, but unfortunately Chen Jingyuan was interrupted by Liu Yulan.

"Where are you going!"

"You need to hone your acting skills in Hengdian during this period, and we've already hired a tutor."

"In two months, the art college entrance exam registration will begin."

These words immediately made Chen Keke feel that the time ahead was going to be dark.

"Xiaobai, I really envy you."

"I've already graduated!"

Chen Keke could only find some comfort in Bai Lu.

"Coco, this period of hard work will be over soon."

"I'm sure you can get into one of the top three art colleges."

Bai Lu could only offer words of comfort, revealing that she actually felt a certain envy towards Chen Keke.

With Director Chen around, there are many options available.

Unlike before, when she could only work as a model and would not have been able to make a name for herself if she hadn't been signed by a studio.

While Chen Jingyuan was with her, he suddenly discovered a message inside Tencent Video.

Tencent Video will hold a press conference in two days to announce the establishment of Tencent Pictures.

It's a bit earlier than originally planned, but considering the current development of Tencent Video, it's understandable.

Chen Jingyuan has indeed created quite a few butterfly effects!
