Starting from joining Tencent Video

The celebration banquet was held at the Crowne Plaza Shanghai Silver Star Hotel.

This is under the Shanghai Film Group Corporation and is one of the main venues of the Shanghai International Film Festival.

There was no particular reason for choosing this location; it was mainly offered by Shanghai Film Group.

Ren Zhonglun, the person in charge of Shanghai Film Group, somehow found his mother's contact information and communicated with her personally.

"Shanghai Film Studio has clearly taken a liking to the film projects of Lanco Studios."

Chen Jingyuan wasn't stupid; he could see through it.

Although this is Lanco Studios' first project, there's no guarantee there won't be a second one.

One project is even better than many others, with nearly three billion in box office revenue.

Considering cost factors, the profit margin is many times greater.

Any film and television company would be envious of this profit margin.

Ren Zhonglun was a little envious; if Shanghai Film Group were to participate in the investment, it would be a political achievement.

That's why they took the initiative to offer a discount on the cost of the celebration venue.

Liu Yulan was quite interested in this matter, as hosting a celebration banquet would cost a considerable amount of money.

Saving some money would be best!

Liu Yulan did not make a decision immediately, but instead asked Chen Jingyuan.

"It's okay to agree."

"We're basically rooted in Shanghai, and Shanghai Film Studio is a local power."

There's no harm in getting along well.

...

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jingyuan slowly spoke.

Even he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, as Ren Zhonglun's actions were indeed impossible to refuse.

If he were to ask him directly, he might be politely refused.

As a result, Ren Zhonglun skipped over him and went directly to his mother, which made it difficult to refuse.

After all, Ren Zhonglun was in contact with Liu Yulan, the head of Lan Ke Studio, not Chen Jingyuan, the president of Tencent Pictures.

From one perspective, this represents Shanghai Film Group's recognition of Lan Ke Studio.

This is why Chen Jingyuan got his mother to agree.

This is because it means that Lanco Studio can establish connections with Shanghai Film Studio.

Even if Chen Jingyuan leaves Tencent in the future, Lan Ke Studio can still release a film project through the Shanghai Film Group's distribution channels.

There are many benefits to accepting Ren Zhonglun's offer, so there's really no reason to refuse.

There's absolutely no reason not to agree!

Moreover, the celebration banquet should definitely be held as soon as possible to capitalize on the buzz.

Finding a suitable venue in Shanghai requires a significant amount of time.

We'll have to wait at least!

The problem is that "Hello Mr. Billionaire" can't afford to wait any longer; missing this wave of popularity could mean another tens of millions in box office revenue.

This is all money, we can't delay!

上影

"Mr. Ren, is it necessary for us to give Lan Ke Studio preferential treatment?"

The assistant looked puzzled and asked Ren Zhonglun.

The films released by Shanghai Film Group in recent years have performed quite well at the box office.

In addition, Shanghai Film Group is the entertainment leader in Shanghai, so there is no need for them to be so proactive.

"What do you know!?"

"Lanco Studios is not worth paying attention to."

"The one who truly values ​​it is Chen Jingyuan, the president of Tencent Pictures."

...

Ren Zhonglun shook his head and said aloud!

This young man is indeed quite capable; he has thoroughly researched Chen Jingyuan's project.

No project led by Chen Jingyuan has ever lost money.

Although "Hello Mr. Billionaire" was the first project created by Lan Ke Studio.

Later, Kaixin Mahua and many other investors were brought in, but Chen Jingyuan was the one actually in charge of the operation.

On the surface, the project was initiated and prepared by Lan Ke Studio, but it would have been impossible to come to fruition without Chen Jingyuan.

Most importantly, Wang Zhonglun also knew something else.

Chen Jingyuan previously predicted that he knew about the two movies, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" and "Detective Chinatown".

It was a long time ago when Chen Wu was socializing with someone, and Chen Wu accidentally said it offhand.

Chen Wu probably just took it as a joke at the time, mainly because the two movies, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" and "Goodbye Mr. Loser," hadn't been released yet.

But Ren Zhonglun took note of it, and it left a deep impression on him after the movie was released.

Ren Zhonglun initially didn't think this news would be of any use.

At that time, Chen Jingyuan already held a high position of power at Tencent, and no matter how capable he was, he still belonged to the Tencent system.

The salary and bonuses must be substantial; there's no reason for them to come to Shanghai Film Studio!

However, the emergence of Lan Ke Studio gave Ren Zhonglun an opportunity.

The box office success of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" in particular proves that Chen Jingyuan has a keen eye for movies.

As long as they take a small share of the investment and collect some of the issuance fees, they can succeed.

This is enough for Shanghai Film Group to earn a considerable profit.

While many film and television companies have not yet discovered Chen Jingyuan's abilities, he quietly collaborated with Lan Ke Studio.

This is why Ren Zhonglun contacted Liu Yulan, trying to befriend her in a roundabout way.

As time went by, when Liu Yulan called back to confirm the matter, Ren Zhonglun couldn't help but smile.

Steady!

Although Ren Zhonglun will be retiring in a few years, he still hopes that Shanghai Film Studio will continue to improve.

at the same time!

Hangzhou University of Electronic Science and Technology

After their trip to Yanjing, Zhang Ruonan and Xu Jing broadened their horizons considerably.

The biggest feeling for the two should be the disconnect between the world of fame and fortune and campus life.

Despite being best friends, Xu Jing still greatly envied Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan might become famous before they even graduate from university.

Given how quickly artists signed to Lanco Studio become famous, it seems not impossible.

However, Xu Jing is from Hangzhou and her family is relatively well-off.

I admire them, but I'm not jealous!

"Jingjing, do you want to come with me to the celebration party for 'Hello Mr. Billionaire'?!"

Zhang Ruonan was unaware of her best friend's thoughts when she extended the invitation.

She was actually a little uncomfortable being alone at such a celebration banquet.

There will definitely be many celebrities there, making it even more lively than the last premiere.

After all, they were mostly just spectators at the premiere, but the after-party was a different story.

It's a true arena of fame and fortune!

Zhang Ruonan was naturally a little nervous, but she knew this was an opportunity.

Lanco Studios plans to officially launch her at the celebration party, at least to make her a familiar face in the industry.

If you appear on variety shows or join a film crew in the future, I'll take extra care of you.

This is very helpful for newcomers.

"Nannan, I won't go."

"You can't go to those kinds of occasions too often."

...

Xu Jing shook her head and spoke up this time.

Don't force yourself into circles that don't belong to you; she's afraid she'll get caught up in the world of fame and fortune after experiencing it too much.

She is quite content with her life, and unlike Zhang Ruonan, she is not a signed artist with Lan Ke Studio.

Zhang Ruonan knew that Xu Jing made sense, so she didn't press the matter further.

However, she was still a little nervous, as such an occasion was somewhat unfamiliar to her as she had not yet made her debut.

As for refusing to participate, Zhang Ruonan had not considered it.

This opportunity would be ecstatic for any other newcomer, let alone the fact that the high-speed rail from Hangzhou to Shanghai takes less than an hour.

There was no problem making several trips back and forth in a day, and Zhang Ruonan refused without even knowing what reason to give.
