Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 209 Concern, Special Care

Although Chen Jingyuan felt a little guilty, he quickly changed the subject about arranging people.

Just then, a scene ended, and Chen Keke and the others gathered around.

"Dude, your dancing was really popular before."

"I've turned your dancing video into a meme."

.....

As soon as Chen Keke came over, her words made Chen Jingyuan's face show a helpless expression.

It's obvious this younger sister has turned into a heartless schemer; she's definitely not here to trick him!

Bai Lu and Tian Xiwei, who were following behind Chen Keke, couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.

It's clear that they already knew about Chen Keke's actions beforehand.

They were all aware of President Chen's resistance, and the phrase "feeling hopeless" had become a hot topic.

She must be my own sister; otherwise, I wouldn't dare do this.

"Are your acting skills up to par with the crew?!"

Chen Jingyuan didn't dwell on the matter and instead inquired about the situation of the others on set.

His words clearly showed a lot of concern!

"Absolutely no problem, the director is very skilled."

"We've been working really hard, especially with all the special training we've had during this time."

"When the movie is released, Brother Chen, you'd better be very surprised."

.....

Bai Lu and the others spoke up one after another, their words revealing their confidence.

Acting skills are something that can sometimes be performed exceptionally well.

For example, when the actors are well-matched, there is a strong sense of immersion.

Some actors are suited to one type of drama, but their acting skills may not be as good in other types of dramas or movies.

There are quite a few tricks to it.

For Bai Lu and others, "Better Days" was essentially a role they played themselves.

With careful preparation, there might actually be a chance to create a miracle.

Of course, Chen Jingyuan wouldn't listen to only one side of the story; he would also inquire with the director about the situation later.

He couldn't tell Bai Lu and the others' acting skills from just one or two scenes.

"Have you all sold your Tencent shares yet?!"

Chen Jingyuan also inquired about another matter.

Tencent's stock market capitalization reached approximately $5700 billion during its annual meeting, but only briefly hit its peak.

There's no point in continuing to hold on!

"Brother, I've already sold it."

Chen Keke was the most excited to speak about this matter.

She now has a whopping five million in her account, and Chen Keke doesn't know how to spend it all.

After Chen Keke started, Bai Lu and others also spoke up.

They made quite a bit of money from Penguin stock.

Of course, the most profitable company should be Lanco Entertainment, because Liu Yulan used all the company's money to buy Tencent stock.

This brought them tens of millions of yuan in profit, which is quite a lot for Lanco Entertainment.

Chen Jingyuan and Chen Keke didn't talk for very long, as the main director and other actors had already been waiting for some time.

He came as an investor, not under the guise of visiting the set!

There are still quite a few differences.

"Mr. Chen, I am director Tsang Kwok-cheung."

"Mr. Chen, I am the male lead, Yi Yang Qianxi. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

...

Both the director and the male lead were more proactive than one might imagine; they're not idiots.

Chen Jingyuan's true identity was known long ago, so his reserve was nonexistent.

As long as one can establish some connection with Chen Jingyuan, it will be quite beneficial to oneself.

For example, Yi Yangqianxi's agency is relatively weak in film and television production.

Even if some top-tier scripts invite top stars, it might not be him!

After all, he wasn't a professional actor, so his impression was a bit lacking.

There are quite a few top male celebrities nowadays, so the competition is still too fierce.

Yi Yangqianxi had long considered transitioning from a popular idol to an actor!

After exchanging pleasantries and exchanging contact information, Chen Jingyuan did not disturb the film crew's shooting for too long.

Chen Jingyuan quickly started talking to his mother, Liu Yulan, about the Chinese New Year.

There are still about two weeks until Chinese New Year this year, so time will actually fly by.

"I plan to go back and take a look this year."

"I happen to be in Chongqing right now."

Returning is relatively convenient.

"I didn't go home for the Lunar New Year last year because I was on set."

.....

Liu Yulan talked about her plans for the Spring Festival, but she wouldn't be staying in the steel city for more than a few days.

Furthermore, even the wealthiest people in remote mountains may have distant relatives, and it can be troublesome when seemingly unrelated people come knocking on their door.

It's really not that Liu Yulan doesn't want to go back!

Rather, it's because of changes in identity and other aspects that there's no going back.

Chen Jingyuan knew that his mother said she was going back to visit, most likely to sweep his father's grave.

"Mom, how's it going with your charity work?!"

"I will personally donate another sum of money to the charity foundation."

.....

Chen Jingyuan inquired about matters related to charity!

Charity is a matter of reputation, so it's something you can't be careless about.

Liu Yulan quickly began to explain how the first batch of funds were used.

Thirty million is not a lot, but it's not a small amount either.

Currently, after review, more than 130 impoverished students in the steel city have received financial aid, and more than 200 patients with serious illnesses have also received assistance.

They also donated some equipment to the hospital, and the funds have been exhausted.

Liu Yulan originally planned to discuss some matters with her son, but Chen Jingyuan brought it up on his own initiative.

"This year we will continue to expand, setting up the charitable foundation throughout the Sichuan-Chongqing region."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jingyuan slowly spoke up!

He plans to donate 50 million, which is nothing to him.

As for Lanco Entertainment, it will allocate a portion based on its own profits.

This is already quite a sum of money!

Liu Yulan naturally had no objection to this, and she also strongly agreed with the charity aspect.

Especially after seeing the detailed past of some people, even she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them.

Chen Jingyuan spent three days on the set of "Better Days".

He then went to Hengdian to prepare for the start of filming for the first season of "Joy of Life"!

Unlike the previous series where the cast was changed in subsequent seasons, this time the cast was finalized and a contract was signed for several seasons.

This is the best way to prevent any future troubles!

Even though Chen Jingyuan is the president of Tencent Pictures, there are still some special circumstances that prevent him from getting involved.

For example, Tencent has acquired controlling stakes in several media companies, some of which have artist management businesses.

We will definitely need to seek some help from Tencent Video and Tencent Pictures.

This was something that couldn't be avoided; it was a way of taking care of our own people!

Li Xin, the female lead in the first season of Joy of Life, is an artist signed with Tencent.

However, it's only because Chen Jingyuan didn't have any candidates that Li Xin would have had a chance.

Compared to TV series, movies definitely carry more weight.

At least in terms of star power, movies are more helpful, but in terms of popularity, it doesn't necessarily have to be a TV series like "Joy of Life".

The male lead for "Joy of Life" is Zhang Ruoyun, who is also an old acquaintance of Chen Jingyuan.

Although Zhang Ruoyun is not a Tencent-sponsored artist, she has good acting skills and popularity.

The role was well-suited to the character and the pay was relatively low, so it was selected after careful consideration.

Of course, Zhang Ruoyun had previously invited Chen Jingyuan to dinner, which clearly indicated that she wanted to cultivate a relationship.

Chen Jingyuan declined the meal, but promised to put in a good word for him.

He had a good impression of Zhang Ruoyun, at least among male actors.

In addition, the director also had a relatively high opinion of Zhang Ruoyun, so he simply went with the flow.

The day after arriving in Hengdian, "Joy of Life" held its launch press conference.

Chen Jingyuan became the focus of many reporters' questions.

"President Chen, what are your expectations for the performance of 'Joy of Life'?"

Will Tencent Pictures and other companies make any big moves after the new year?

What are your thoughts on some of the comments netizens have made about girl group dances?

.....

Some reporters asked relatively normal questions, but some reporters were clearly inhumane.

He transformed into an entertainment reporter, leaving Chen Jingyuan somewhat at a loss for how to answer.

"I just sit and read some of the comments online."

"What netizens say is indeed a bit unreliable."

...

Chen Jingyuan had no choice but to avoid the main issue and simply play the game of Tai Chi.

He can't just listen to netizens' advice; if it gets exposed later, the online narrative might be completely different.
