Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 95 Scores, Starlight Awards

Li Xirui had previously played supporting roles, but suddenly she was cast as the lead actress.

And the show became a huge hit, which is something we never dared to imagine, but it actually happened!

She knew that without Dilraba, it would have been impossible to obtain such resources.

"Buy some press releases for Li Xirui."

Yang Mi made her decision immediately after seeing the viewership of "Day and Night".

It's clear that Li Xirui has a lot of popularity, so they'll definitely be giving her some support.

She couldn't help but trust Chen Jingyuan's gaze even more.

So far, it seems that only "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" among the projects Chen Jingyuan has handled can be considered a minor success.

The other aspects of the popularity are not too low, and even if it's just a small hit, making money is still not a problem.

It's just a matter of how much or how little you earn!

Reba, who had been busy all day in Hengdian, was chatting with Chen Jingyuan. She knew about the results earlier than Li Xirui.

[@Li Xirui, your performance was the most outstanding.]

He gave a brief and humble reply to Li Xirui's thanks.

She was probably happy for her best friend, but she received messages from many more people.

Basically, everyone hopes she can make a recommendation, but Dilraba only said she would recommend her if the opportunity arises.

She's not stupid; she knows she definitely shouldn't put pressure on Chen Jingyuan.

Chen Jingyuan has already helped Jaywalk Studio a lot, at least he has helped several Jaywalk artists rise to prominence.

Moreover, there are differences in relationships among them, and Dilraba is not close to every member of Jaywalk Studio.

With just one day of viewership, "Day and Night" officially surpassed 100 million views.

This data represents a blockbuster hit; basically, only a handful of web series can achieve this level of success each year.

Penguin Video has at least reduced a lot of pressure, for a simple reason: kiwifruit has been making waves recently.

"Yu Zui" started airing a month ago and has already exceeded one billion views.

And it ranked first on Baidu's Popular TV Series list!

There's another show called "The Mystic Nine" that started its promotion early on and became a hit even before it aired, featuring many A-list stars.

Chen Weiting, Zhao Liying, Zhang Yixing, and others—it's safe to say they've amassed a huge following.

With the summer season about to be dominated by kiwis, "Day and Night" managed to withstand the pressure on Tencent Video.

This is still very crucial!

Chen Jingyuan thought about the upcoming summer movie season, and it seemed quite competitive indeed.

Next up is "Zhu Xian," which Tencent Video purchased from Huanrui Century for production.

As for Youku, there's also "Love O2O"!

Previously, Chen Jingyuan had someone contact him about the copyright of "Love O2O", but the problem was that Gu Man's asking price and conditions were a bit harsh.

Furthermore, other film and television investors were also vying for it, so they ultimately chose to give up.

Although the competition is fierce, it has also greatly boosted the entire online drama market.

If last year was the start of an explosion in the online drama market, this year is the beginning of a massive explosion.

"Huh, Li Xirui has several trending topics?!"

Suddenly, Chen Jingyuan noticed that Li Xirui's name appeared in the Weibo trending topics, but fortunately he quickly realized what was going on.

This was likely Yang Mi's doing; Jaywalk Studio certainly puts a lot of effort into marketing.

Especially considering Yang Mi's past as a topic of discussion, there was undoubtedly some marketing involved.

Previously, Li Xirui only played supporting roles, which didn't make any splash, so forced marketing was basically useless.

Li Xirui is now the female lead in a hit drama; if not now, when? It's the perfect time for marketing.

"Perhaps Li Xirui can achieve a small degree of popularity."

Chen Jingyuan judged and said that perhaps they could break into the second tier in a short time.

This is already quite good; at least it has a period of popularity and representative works.

The worst thing for an artist is to debut for ten years and still be a stranger upon returning!

He wasn't concerned about the female lead role; there wasn't a suitable candidate in the first place.

We can't force Chen Keke to play the role; if her acting skills aren't good enough, it will only attract criticism.

While Chen Jingyuan was staring at the data for "Day and Night," he didn't forget to keep an eye on Chen Keke's college entrance exam score.

There's still half a day until the college entrance exam scores are released!

Chen Jingyuan sent a message to inquire in advance, and even he couldn't help but smile when he saw the message Chen Keke had sent earlier.

It turns out that after the recording started, Chen Keke began washing dishes and so on.

The workload is actually relatively light compared to other newcomers.

However, this also made Chen Keke secretly groan, as she couldn't show it in front of the camera.

She often complained to Chen Jingyuan in private, seemingly venting her resentment on him.

Later that evening, Chen Keke finally received a call; it must be because her college entrance exam scores had been released.

"Brother, I scored 445 on the college entrance exam!"

"I was just short of the second-tier university cutoff score, but I'm sure I'll get into the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"Teacher He and others even asked the director to prepare a small celebration for me."

The endless stream of words from Chen Keke surprised Chen Jingyuan.

It seems they didn't expect to even celebrate for Chen Keke.

All I can say is that this matter is indeed very endearing.

Chen Keke also mentioned that Xiao Tian's score was also quite good, approaching the first-tier university admission line.

Generally speaking, the required score for a performing arts major is about 60% of the first-tier university entrance exam cutoff.

Reaching this level is generally not a problem, because sometimes the requirements are lower.

"Good that it passed!"

Chen Jingyuan spoke slowly, saying that while there weren't too many surprises, he was still quite happy.

Chen Keke had done well in her mock exams before, so as long as she didn't underperform, there shouldn't be any problems.

Mom should be able to rest assured now; the three major art academies are quite well-known.

"Brother, thank you!"

Chen Keke spoke very seriously, and her words were clear.

If it weren't for my older brother, I probably would have just gotten a junior college degree or something.

The road ahead is no longer uncertain; it's all smooth sailing!

I accept your thanks.

Chen Jingyuan was slightly taken aback by these words, but quickly replied.

To be honest, he raised his younger sister from a young age, and most of the time, he was like a father to her.

It's rare to hear my sister express her gratitude, and to be honest, it touched me a little.

Shortly after hanging up with his sister, his mother, Liu Yulan, called.

The two started talking about Chen Keke, and the mother could clearly not contain her joy.

Fortunately, Mom soon got down to business and they bought the copyright.

"Mom, please contact these editors using the contact information above."

"Add the main storyline I wrote, and change it to create a new script."

"In addition, I will inject another 20 million into the studio for the preparation and investment of this project."

Chen Jingyuan began to instruct his mother on what to do next.

To launch a project, you need at least a good script.

With a good script, they brought in Tencent for investment, and then a whole scheme was successfully formed.

After hanging up his mother's call, Chen Jingyuan checked Weibo again and found that it was full of trending topics about college entrance exam scores.

However, the trending topics about "Day and Night" did not fall off the list.

After a few days, once the surge in college entrance exam scores has subsided, things will return to normal.

In addition to "Day and Night", there is also the latest season of "Go Fighting!"

Because a lot has changed this season, Chen Jingyuan is still paying close attention.

I want to see what the reviews are like!

The popular variety show "Go Fighting!" is very important to Tencent Video.

Of course, this is also quite crucial for Tianhe Studio.

With this stable variety show, there's a safety net for both annual prize money and project failures.

The new season of "Go Fighting!" is scheduled to air on July 5th, and the pre-release promotion has already begun.

Even without any trending topics related to "Go Fighting!", it still managed to reach the top of the trending searches thanks to numerous likes and comments from netizens.

Tencent Video didn't specifically buy trending topics or anything like that.

On the night of the launch, Chen Jingyuan and Sun Zhonghuai waited together for the playback data.

The two are actually quite confident about the number of views; the question is how the subsequent reviews will turn out.

If the reviews are poor, we might need to consider the next season.

Sun Zhonghuai still pays close attention to "Go Fighting!" and monitors the online data for almost every season.

The cost of producing a season of "Go Fighting!" is several times that of other dramas.

The total revenue could even exceed ten figures; it's that exaggerated.

Vivo Mobile paid nearly 500 million yuan for exclusive title sponsorship this season alone, not to mention special sponsorships.

There are also copyright issues related to TV dramas, so it's no wonder Sun Zhonghuai didn't pay attention.

"Xiao Chen, how are your projects going?"

19

"There are basically no problems with the projects."

"Also, the site construction for 'The Wandering Earth' started very early on."

Before the data was released, Chen Jingyuan and General Manager Sun discussed the project over the past period.

Many projects have been reported over the phone, but they certainly weren't explained as clearly as they were in person.

All of this was thanks to Sun Zhonghuai's trust; otherwise, Chen Jingyuan wouldn't have had so much power.

"Xiao Chen, I'm planning to organize an awards ceremony, similar to Weibo Night."

Suddenly Sun Zhonghuai's voice rang out, causing Chen Jingyuan to be slightly taken aback.

Sun Zhonghuai's idea is just like Tencent Video's Star Awards.

Chen Jingyuan had no reason to refuse Mr. Sun's idea at this time.

"This is a good thing, as it can expand the influence of Tencent Video."

"Actually, we could have considered holding a grand event last year."

Chen Jingyuan agreed, saying that Tencent Video's membership numbers already exceeded those of the original timeline, and its popularity and influence were also considerable.

The two then had another discussion about the awards ceremony, and the name "Starlight Awards" was decided upon.

As for the remaining details, we can leave them to others to refine.

Events like this usually don't happen until the end of the year, so planning ahead now gives us plenty of time to prepare.

Just as the two were discussing, the results of the new season of "Go Fighting!" were released.

The number of views exceeded 10 million in the first hour, and there is a good chance that it will break 100 million in 24 hours.

This is only the first phase!

The reviews and comments are all very positive; at least in terms of entertainment value, it's undeniable.

Although the first episode cannot represent the entire season, it is already a good start.

Both Sun Zhonghuai and Chen Jingchuan could not hide their joy.

The related first-phase trending topics have already appeared on Weibo's trending list.
