Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 76 To Improve, Performance

From Hengdian to the airport, then flying to Siam before heading to the filming location.

It will take about a day in total.

Chen Jingyuan led Bailu and her kinsmen out overnight, giving Bailu as much time as possible to adapt to the Siamese environment.

Bai Lu could have chosen to go with the staff, but after some hesitation, she decided to go with Chen Jingyuan instead.

She might be a little worried about going alone without knowing anyone, as she and Chen Keke had met quite a few staff members together.

Ultimately, she's not Chen Keke; there's still a layer between them.

Bai Lu hadn't had much interaction with the staff beforehand, and this was her first time traveling abroad.

She and Chen Jingyuan have only met in person a few days ago, yet they have a natural trust in each other.

Perhaps it's because Chen Jingyuan is the studio's backer.

Bai Lu followed closely behind Chen Jingyuan and his assistant Qiao Yujie.

After Director Chen was promoted, Qiao Yujie couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

He followed in the footsteps of Director Chen and was promoted to become the assistant to the vice president.

It's like a windfall!

Unlike Chen Jingyuan, who rose through the ranks thanks to successful projects, Qiao Yujie was simply lucky.

He was President Chen's right-hand man; he did whatever the president told him to do.

"Assistant Qiao, please tuck your lips in."

"You don't want to miss out on a promotion by the end of the year, do you?"

Chen Jingyuan looked at Qiao Yujie's expression and said quietly.

Qiao Yujie had been following him for several months, and he had been observing her abilities and other aspects all along.

The assistant is someone you trust, so you'll definitely be more careful with them.

Seeing that barely concealed smile, you can tell what he's thinking.

"President, I'll be right there!"

Qiao Yujie immediately realized what was happening and pretended to become serious.

"Ha ha!"

Bai Lu chuckled, ultimately failing to manage her facial expressions.

She knew why Assistant Qiao couldn't contain her joy, but when she tried to hold it in, it looked rather comical.

The laughter was so captivating that it immediately caught the attention of the two people in front of them.

Qiao Yujie knew he was being laughed at, so he tried his best to pretend he didn't hear it.

Bai Lu and the CEO's sister get along very well, and they're not part of the Tencent system.

We definitely can't hold a grudge!

Chen Jingyuan turned around and glanced at her. Bai Lu covered her mouth with both hands, pretending to be very obedient.

Facing Chen Jingyuan, Bai Lu still dared not act rashly.

As they were about to set foot on Koh Chang, the filming location, Chen Jingyuan gave Bai Lu a heads-up.

"Bai Lu, you can make a few funny faces during the recording."

"This can still garner some goodwill, and it also helps to participate in the conversation without rushing to show off."

"If you're a little more diligent and proactive, you'll basically be good enough for new variety shows."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. One variety show doesn't necessarily make you famous."

This should be considered Chen Jingyuan's experience. Before his rebirth, he had watched a lot of variety shows and knew how to make the audience more likable.

He was actually aware of the popularity of "Chinese Restaurant," and even if some members were replaced, it would still be a hit.

It remains to be seen how much popularity Bai Lu will generate, given that she is only a regular guest for one season.

This will relieve her of too much burden, and he will continue to arrange some resources for her later.

After becoming vice president, Chen Jingyuan was prepared to achieve more to repay Sun Zhonghuai.

Incidentally, using public office for private gain, Dilraba's side and her sister's studio both need resources.

Bai Lu was taken aback by Chen Jingyuan's words, seemingly not expecting him to say such a thing.

Previously, both Sister Jiang and Chen Ke, including herself, had a lot of confidence.

This is mainly due to the previous achievements of Tianhe Studio. Unexpectedly, Chen Jingyuan made people feel more at ease.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Bai Lu spoke with a sweet smile, feeling even less burdened by Chen Jingyuan's words.

After the vehicle arrived at the filming location, the production director personally greeted it with several staff members.

Among them were some familiar faces, including Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Yunlong, who were among the guests present!

Huang Xiaoming was one of the first guests to arrive at Siam, possibly even earlier than the members of Tianhe Studio.

Despite getting married, Huang Xiaoming remains very dedicated to his work.

Why did Huang Xiaoming, who was 48 years old before his rebirth, gain 30 pounds and then lose 50 pounds before filming the movie "Sunshine Club"?

Not to mention the special English accent training he received earlier when filming Partners.

"President Chen!"

The director and Huang Xiaoming were clearly very enthusiastic towards Chen Jingyuan, which could be seen from the way they addressed him.

Previously, internal emails from Tencent Video were also sent to Huang Xiaoming and others through members of Tianhe Studio.

Huang Xiaoming had always wanted to befriend Chen Jingyuan, let alone after his promotion.

Zhang Yunlong, needless to say, was always looking for opportunities to leave a good impression on Chen Jingyuan.

The other guests were no fools either; one was the vice president of Tencent Pictures.

Within this circle, they are at the very top, controlling the resources.

Many people want to improve!

Bai Lu followed behind Chen Jingyuan like a little follower.

Bai Lu feels quite lucky to have signed with Lan Ke Studio; otherwise, it would have been unrealistic to get such an opportunity.

At first, I thought it was just a small studio, but I never expected to win such a big prize.

Chen Jingyuan greeted the crew and guests one by one.

He had never actually met some of the crew members or guests.

"Dear teachers, lunch is on me today."

"But filming starts tomorrow, so I'll just have a drink today."

"I hope we can cooperate well in the coming period and complete the recording smoothly."

After exchanging greetings, Chen Jingyuan slowly spoke up, saying that since they arrived at noon, he would treat the entire crew and guests to a meal.

If money isn't an issue, treating someone to a special meal is perfectly fine.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

The production team, including the studio members, were very happy.

"See, President Chen is so generous."

A staff member from Tianhe Studio even whispered about it with members of the production team.

Previously, the production team had inquired extensively with members of Tianhe Studio about Chen Jingyuan's situation.

There are several rumors surrounding Chen Jingyuan, such as his recent promotion to vice president of Tencent Pictures.

Now it has all been confirmed!

Chen Jingyuan gives many people the same feeling that Huang Xiaoming had when he met Chen Jingyuan a few days ago.

After a short half-day break, recording began the next day.

Perhaps because they were in Siam, Chen Jingyuan got up early to help the production team with the setup.

Chen Jingyuan felt more at ease knowing that Yan Min was originally part of the "Go Fighting!" team.

The production team behind "Chinese Restaurant" was poached from TVB and wasn't particularly well-known.

His abilities are only average, and Chen Jingyuan needs to take some responsibility for him.

At least he had watched "Chinese Restaurant" and knew how to record it more effectively.

The following day, filming of "Chinese Restaurant" officially began. The production team had the cast choose a seaside restaurant from three alternative locations as their operating location.

There's also the division of labor within the store: Huang Xiaoming serves as the store manager, while Yan Danchen is responsible for finance and the front desk.

Huang Zongze and Zhang Liang were the head chef and sous chef, respectively, while Zhang Yunlong and Bai Lu were the kitchen helper and assistant, respectively.

Before opening, you need to purchase kitchenware, tableware, ingredients, etc., and also customize menus and conduct tastings.

Also, since you're from Siam, you'll need to learn some basic phrases.

Bai Lu displayed considerable linguistic talent, with her pronunciation and intonation being quite standard.

"good!"

Chen Jingyuan's evaluation of Bai Lu was still acceptable.

At least for his first appearance on a variety show, he seemed to have a good sense of how to get into the spotlight.

It's clear that he has a lot of talent, and he worked very hard when negotiating prices.

Clearly, they followed Chen Jingyuan's instructions, and the highlights were there as well.

After the first episode was finished being recorded, Bai Lu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When the recording actually started, Bai Lu was still inevitably nervous.

It was her first time in front of the camera, and she was only able to keep her composure thanks to Chen Jingyuan being there beside her.

This is probably what it feels like to have someone to back you up; even if problems arise, you don't have to worry about being blamed.

"Teacher Bai, please drink some water."

A staff member handed over a bottle of water and said something.

These are members of Tianhe Studio, temporarily assigned by Chen Jingyuan to be his assistants.

"Thanks!"

Bai Lu took the water and said, "The weather here in Siam is still very hot."

It's not even September yet; it's still the hottest time of the year.

After gaining experience from the first recording, things went much more smoothly afterwards.

Everyone has a defined role in themselves; for example, Bailu is a long-term dishwasher.

His efficient and hardworking demeanor gradually won people's hearts, perfectly aligning with the image Chen Jingyuan had given him.

Chen Jingyuan even had someone specially capture Bai Lu's hearty laughter after she painstakingly washed the dishes, as well as some unexpected twists.

For example, after washing a large number of dishes, a series of emotional breakdowns occur.

It may be unrealistic for "Chinese Restaurant" to make Bai Lu a top star overnight, but with proper promotion, she can still gain some fame.

As long as their subsequent works keep up, they will be able to steadily enter the ranks of second or third-tier artists.

Nowadays, the top tier of the Chinese entertainment industry is firmly occupied by established actresses, actresses born in the 1980s, and popular young actors.

Relatively speaking, it is quite difficult for young actresses to rise to the top; it is already quite good if they can secure a place.

We'll think about how to get promoted later!

While filming "Chinese Restaurant", Chen Jingyuan did not forget to keep up with domestic news.

Just half a month after Tencent Pictures was established, Tencent Pictures was also established!

Furthermore, Tencent Pictures, Tencent Games, Tencent Animation, and others together form the entire Tencent Group's pan-entertainment business matrix.

"Tencent Pictures has a registered capital of 750 million yuan, while Tencent Penguin Pictures has a registered capital of 10 million yuan."

"The difference is enormous!"

Chen Jingyuan murmured softly, his words filled with emotion.

It's obvious that Tencent Pictures is treated like a favored son, comparable to Alibaba Pictures, whose market value in Hong Kong has now reached 30 billion.

In terms of market value alone, it ranks among the top five in the entertainment industry, not to mention it has Alibaba Group behind it.

As for Tencent Video, it's currently just a minor player, relying mainly on the Tencent Video platform.

As a vice president, I was sitting in the last row among the group's senior executives.
