"Mom, I miss you so much."
Chen Keke hugged her mother and said happily.
"You're a celebrity now, you need to be more mature."
Liu Yulan's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness as she spoke.
Seeing her daughter's loud and boisterous manner, I couldn't help but feel that it didn't quite fit my image.
"Mom, I'm very composed and reliable when I'm out there."
"Don't believe me? Ask your brother!"
Chen Keke spoke up with a happy expression, still offering a small rebuttal to herself.
"He's definitely composed, with a bit of a celebrity air about him."
Chen Jingyuan thought of Chen Keke's attitude towards her fans and asked her to say something to help.
Liu Yulan didn't dwell on the topic; instead, she inquired about Chen Keke's situation during this time.
Chen Keke is still someone her mother needs to worry about, while Chen Jingyuan is someone who doesn't need to be asked at all.
"Mom, I've been on set all this time."
"Xiaotian and I are both doing very well."
"Even if there are problems with the performance, the director is very polite because of my brother's background."
...
Without hesitation, Chen Keke recounted her recent situation.
"That's good!"
Liu Yulan nodded, then came to her senses and realized that the crew were all her own people, so how could they not be doing well? This problem was more a case of being too concerned and making a mistake.
After inquiring about Chen Keke's affairs, Liu Yulan talked to Chen Jingyuan about the recent events surrounding "Hello Mr. Billionaire".
She had previously thought not to disturb him, but now that Chen Jingyuan was here, she naturally wanted to have a proper talk with him.
Originally, it was planned that the machine would be able to start normally last month, but Liu Hongtao, the person in charge of Kaixin Mahua, came to visit us personally.
He personally went to Liu Yulan to ask for a one-month delay in the project's start date.
Fortunately, many venues are not yet fully booked, so there is still room for negotiation.
Postponing it by a month won't cause any significant loss.
Considering it was the studio's first project, and also to ensure that Kaixin Mahua would owe someone a favor.
Liu Yulan finally agreed!
Afterwards, she inquired a bit and found out that Happy Twist Company's profits were a little lower this year.
Those pursuing a company IPO naturally need to make up for this.
"The box office of 'Mr. Donkey,' which was invested in by Kaixin Mahua in October, was not very high."
"Although it was profitable, the profit clearly didn't satisfy Kaixin Mahua."
...
Liu Yulan couldn't help but sigh and say that it was a very troublesome thing for this company to go public.
Financial statements and other aspects need to be taken into account. If the studio becomes a company in the future, it should not seek to go public.
Although going public would certainly bring in a lot of money, the pressure would be too great.
A look of realization flashed in Chen Jingyuan's eyes.
The film "Mr. Donkey" had an investment of over ten million yuan, and with promotional expenses, it cost over twenty million yuan, ultimately grossing approximately 1.72 million yuan.
They definitely made money, but Happy Twist wasn't the only investor.
There are still several investors involved, and a profit of 20 million is already quite substantial after the profits are split among them.
However, last year's "Goodbye Mr. Loser" grossed over 14 billion yuan, and Happy Twist earned nearly 200 million yuan in profit.
Last year and this year are completely different!
The significant discrepancy in the financial statements raises questions about the company's capabilities, making it even more difficult for it to go public.
In addition, the government has tightened restrictions on cross-industry capital operations, given the frequent occurrence of high valuations and high-premium mergers and acquisitions in the film and television industry.
Going public has become more difficult, so financial reports are definitely crucial at this time.
Happy Twist naturally wants to generate more profits by launching theatrical tours.
A single play can generate tens of thousands in profit, especially when famous actors like Shen Teng perform, tickets can cost over a thousand yuan.
This could be considered the reason for the delayed start-up of Kaixin Mahua, but it did allow Chen Jingyuan to make it to the launch press conference.
Originally, Chen Jingyuan didn't plan to attend the press conference for "Hello Mr. Billionaire" because his mother was there, which was enough.
Who would have thought the press conference for "Hello Mr. Billionaire" would be so late?
However, Chen Jingyuan remembers that Kaixin Mahua was supposed to submit its IPO application to the ChiNext board next year, but unfortunately it was rejected and failed to go public.
The problem is that Kaixin Mahua is currently unaware of this, which is why they are still working hard to go public.
"By the way, where's Bailu!?"
Chen Jingyuan did not forget to inquire about Bailu's condition.
Although the two had exchanges of prestige, he never took the initiative to ask about Bai Lu.
"During the Bailu period, I found a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy to study acting at the school."
"This time it's a movie, so there are quite a few requirements for acting skills."
"During the White Dew season, everyone is making the most of their time to address their shortcomings."
...
Liu Yulan was quite satisfied with Bailu, at least Bailu was the kind of person who was very ambitious.
Bai Lu chose a hotel near the Beijing Film Academy, and did not stay with Liu Yulan.
If we want to meet, we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
The family had quite a few things to talk about during their reunion, but most of it was about their careers.
Even Chen Jingyuan's face showed a lot of emotion; both his mother and sister had changed a lot.
The future is basically predictable!
Now, she's in charge of a project without any rush, and as for Chen Keke, there's even less to say.
the next day!
Chen Keke's mother, Liu Yulan, and Jiang Qiumei took her to choose a dress.
To attend the Tencent Video All Star Awards, you definitely need a formal dress; that's absolutely essential.
As for Chen Jingyuan, he naturally went to Tencent Video's office in Yanjing.
Sun Zhonghuai has been preparing for the Starlight Awards here these past few days, so he definitely needs to go and check it out beforehand.
He hadn't forgotten that this was a formal appearance, and his suit and everything else had been prepared beforehand.
"Mr. Sun!"
Upon arriving at the Yanjing office, Chen Jingyuan went directly to Sun Zhonghuai.
"Xiao Chen, you're finally no longer staying in Shanghai."
"Take a look at this list of guests first."
"There are also detailed arrangements and procedures, as well as a list of winners and award presenters, etc."
...
After making a small joke, Sun Zhonghuai gave Chen Jingyuan a task.
"Mr. Sun, there are indeed many things going on in Shanghai."
Chen Jingyuan spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression, trying to save face.
Fortunately, he received the full list of guests for this year's Star Awards and saw that there were quite a few attendees.
First, there are some people that Chen Jingyuan is familiar with; after many projects, there are still many celebrities involved.
For example, Zhu Yilong, Tan Songyun, Zhang Xincheng, and others from the very beginning.
There are also guests on variety shows like "Go Fighting!" and "Chinese Restaurant", as well as variety show hosts like He Jiong and Xie Na.
There are quite a few who can be considered top stars, such as Lu Han, Li Yifeng, Jing Boran, and Wang Kai.
In addition, there are some big names, such as Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Sister Eight Hundred Million.
The director, producer, and representatives from the collaborating parties were also present, making for a large number of attendees.
It may be less prestigious than the Weibo Night event, since it doesn't have big-name directors like the "National Master" participating.
But this lineup is already pretty good, especially considering it's only the first edition.
After reviewing the guests' information, Chen Jingyuan's gaze fell upon the list of award winners.
Zhao Liying was named the most popular TV drama actress of the year, and Sister Ba Yi was named the most popular film actress of the year.
Liu Tao, the most talented TV drama actress, and Zhou Dongyu, the best film character portrayal actress.
After looking through them all, they seem to fit the awards fairly well, with not too many problems.
In addition, there is another award for Dilraba: Newcomer Actress in a Television Series of the Year.
This award isn't particularly big, but it's just right for Dilraba.
Dilraba has a better chance next year, with both "Fighter of the Destiny" and "Pretty Li Huizhen" scheduled to air.
Interestingly, the award presenter was none other than Chen Jingyuan!
It was obvious that this was a deliberate arrangement by President Sun, and Chen Jingyuan had no intention of making any changes.
Then there's the red carpet for the guests; Chen Keke was scheduled to walk it first.
The arrangement is quite reasonable, and being the first one might get more attention.
However, Chen Jingyuan thought of something: if he were exposed, Chen Keke might also be exposed.
It remains to be seen whether the media will delve deeper into this matter; Chen Keke might even gain more attention because of it.
"There are no problems with the list and arrangements."
"The Tencent Video All Star Awards shouldn't be like Weibo Night, always trying to stir up trouble."
Chen Jingyuan spoke slowly, sharing his thoughts.
"Stability is indeed more important."
"I'm already very satisfied that the Star Awards have increased our membership numbers."
Sun Zhonghuai agreed, saying that doing certain things would generate buzz and attention.
But ultimately it won't last long and will likely face some backlash, as users won't only have Tencent Video as an option.
Conversely, even if some people are dissatisfied with Weibo Night, many will still follow news and celebrity updates on Weibo.
"The seating arrangements must be made in advance to avoid any problems."
"And the red carpet lighting and other equipment should be checked several times."
Chen Jingyuan, recalling the problems that occurred at the Starlight Awards before his rebirth, couldn't help but remind him.
"I'll personally lead a team to inspect it then!"
Sun Zhonghuai nodded and said that he really hadn't gone to the venue in detail.
Upon Chen Jingyuan's reminder, he decided to go and see for himself.
