Chapter 79 Excitement, Abstract
Chen Jingyuan certainly wouldn't forget to report to his superior, Sun Zhonghuai; he couldn't wait until the project plan was finished before informing him.
"Xiao Chen, there's absolutely no problem with Tencent Pictures wanting to cooperate with us."
"This time, I'm going to really put Old Chen in his place."
Sun Zhonghuai's words clearly showed that he was very happy. Considering that Tencent Pictures was the first to lower its head and cooperate with them, it was not easy, as Tencent Pictures' relative status was still much lower.
Sun Zhonghuai understood that Chen Wu's desire for cooperation was largely due to Chen Jingyuan.
After finishing his communication with his superior, Chen Jingyuan began planning the "Fighter of the Destiny" project.
He chose to retreat to the hotel and write down as many key points of the project as possible.
Three days later, he took the plan directly to Sun Zhonghuai and sent a copy to Chen Wu.
How the two Penguin vice presidents discussed this project is currently none of his concern.
The budget for adapting a script takes a considerable amount of time, not to mention the time required to assemble the directing team and find locations.
He wouldn't be able to start the machine until after the New Year, so he decided to use this time to finish the two projects he was working on.
Nearly two months later, Chen Jingyuan and Dilraba met again at a hotel in Shanghai.
Dilraba's long hair, which she had just washed, fell loose, revealing her fair and slender neck.
Her large eyes gazed at Chen Jingyuan, her moist gaze carrying a hint of allure and a touch of affection.
No man could resist such a gaze; like dry wood meeting a raging fire after a long separation.
Chen Jingyuan showed no politeness to Dilraba, and his enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming for her.
Two hours later, Reba nestled in Chen Jingyuan's arms, completely exhausted and unwilling to move.
"Mr. Chen, I've been on a lot of trips lately."
"I've made a lot of money, enough to buy you gifts, and I can finally take a break for a while."
Dilraba's sweet and gentle voice rang out, though her words sounded a little hoarse.
Hearing Dilraba's words, even if you don't know if they're true or not, is still quite pleasant to hear.
"How are Mr. Yang's sales targets for this year?!"
Chen Jingyuan looked quite curious and asked about another matter.
Before his rebirth, he only knew that Boss Yang had finally completed the bet, but he didn't really know the specifics.
"It seems that we may not have even reached half of this year's target."
"Let's see when 'The Witness' is released at the end of the month. This movie is invested by Jaywalk Studio."
Reba sighed and said that she and Sister Honey were very familiar with each other.
With so many trips to take, Honey Sister seemed worried that she might have complaints and complained a lot.
This year's performance basically depends on this one drama!
Honey even converted her salary into box office revenue sharing.
Top-tier actors still command very high salaries, so converting that into income is not a wise move.
Unless the box office reaches several hundred million, which is something I'm not confident about.
It has a hint of sacrificing its own interests to pave the way for the company.
Chen Jingyuan's eyes revealed a hint of understanding: this year's target should be 1 million yuan in net profit for Jiaxing.
With a net profit of 3.1 million over three years, that's an average of 1 million per year.
It seems that Mr. Yang's net profit was a bit lacking in the first year, but it should take off in the following two years.
"Dilraba, are you able to rest for a few days this time!?"
Chen Jingyuan gently held the beauty in his arms and asked softly.
"Three days!"
Reba compared the size of Chen Jingyuan's palm to her own, and said with a look of apology.
Faced with Sister Mi's request, she really couldn't handle it and could only run more events.
Besides Yang Mi, Dilraba is the most famous member of Jaywalk Studio.
Although Zhang Yunlong gained some fame with "Hello, Old Times", his subsequent dramas "Goodbye My Princess" and "Chinese Restaurant" were not broadcast.
It still falls short in terms of popularity and doesn't have much weight.
Next, Dilraba told Chen Jingyuan about her upcoming schedule.
The fifth season of the Warm Winter Campaign: "Ambassador of Love, Nature's Name Brand New Product Launch".
He also filmed the TV series "Hot Girl" and "Six Doors".
These are some resources that Jiaxing has been looking for, and we couldn't back out of our promise to fulfill it.
Unless Dilraba wants to be labeled as a diva.
Dilraba became a sensation after playing the second female lead in "Diamond Lover," and then went on to play the female lead in "Goodbye My Princess."
She should be quite a big star, but the problem is that Jaywalk Studio doesn't seem to have many resources to give Dilraba.
Currently, many dramas are considering leading actresses like Yang Mi, and Dilraba is still far down the list of actresses to be invited.
"Three days, that's barely acceptable!"
Chen Jingyuan was not surprised by this result.
Boss Yang might even be on set during the Lunar New Year, so Dilraba definitely can't be too idle.
For the next three days, the two stayed in the hotel like a couple at home, without going out.
Going out with Dilraba after she became famous is still very risky, so there's absolutely no need for it.
The time passed quickly despite their sweet and affectionate moments. On the fourth day, Dilraba had to reluctantly part ways, as both of them had their own things to do.
Chen Jingyuan also gave himself three days off, but he still had a lot to do.
"Dali, let's go to Hengdian!"
Chen Jingyuan spoke to the driver, Liu Dali.
Tencent offers benefits to its senior executives, including dedicated drivers, personal assistants, and travel allowances.
Liu Dali was a driver transferred from the group. He had just returned from military service and must have had connections, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get into Tencent.
He is a few months younger than him, and Qiao Yujie will temporarily serve as his personal assistant.
"Okay, Mr. Chen!"
Liu Dali answered without the slightest hesitation.
He had previously learned about President Chen, who was young, capable, and had a bright future.
Moreover, becoming President Chen's driver directly makes him a member of Tianhe Studio.
The bonuses awarded to Tianhe Studio are known to many departments across Tencent.
The reason is simple: Tianhe Studio holds a position on Tencent Video equivalent to that of League of Legends Studio in the game department.
They are definitely one of the top-tier brands!
Liu Dali put in a lot of effort to secure the driver's position.
It has to be said that having a driver has indeed made things much more convenient, as there is no waiting time and the driver will arrive at the destination in advance to wait for you.
On the way to Hengdian, Chen Jingyuan sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, resting.
He was thinking about the potential staff shortage at Tianhe Studio and that they should expand again in the new year.
Previously, the studio was divided into three groups, with Liu Yang leading Huang Yuanming's group to prepare for "Day and Night".
Jiang Qiaodan's group was scheduled to go on the third season of "Go Fighting!" after "Chinese Restaurant".
Originally, the third season of "Go Fighting!" was supposed to start filming earlier, but it was not easy to coordinate the schedules of Huang Bai and others, which resulted in the filming of the third season not starting until October.
Regarding the final installment of the Zhenhua trilogy, "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan," the only option was to draw personnel from Wang Tingting's team, who had originally worked on the post-production editing of "Goodbye My Princess."
"Otherwise, we can split up Tianhe Studio and have a few people independently manage one studio."
Chen Jingyuan suddenly had some ideas.
He didn't have any obsession with Tianhe Studio, and besides, even if it were split up, it would still be under his control, so there would be no difference.
You can't keep suppressing your subordinates' positions; you still need to give them some opportunities for advancement.
Moreover, splitting up has another advantage: it allows for the recruitment of more people.
Then there won't just be one Tianhe Studio standing out.
Let's consider it in more detail after the "Fighter of the Destiny" project is completed.
With a few personnel adjustments, we have enough for now!
Before he knew it, the car had arrived in Hengdian. Chen Jingyuan was now very familiar with the place.
"Brother, you're finally here."
"My mom restricts what I eat."
Chen Keke started complaining as soon as she arrived and sat down for a short while.
Unfortunately, Chen Jingyuan completely ignored this younger sister.
His mother had told him before that Chen Keke had gained a lot of weight and might not pass the art exam, so she needed to control her diet.
Fortunately, Chen Keke didn't seem to care at all that her older brother was still nagging.
Once everyone was present, Chen Jingyuan introduced Liu Dali, the driver assigned by the group.
After a brief introduction, Chen Jingyuan asked a question.
"How's your acting practice going, you two?"
"What did Teacher Wang say?!"
Teacher Wang is a visiting professor at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and runs a teaching class in Hengdian.
They specially hired someone to teach Chen Keke and the other actress acting skills, which cost a lot of money in just one month.
"Teacher Wang said that Coco is good at playing some roles that are close to her own personality."
"Relatively speaking, Bai Lu can try to take on more different roles."
"Both of them worked very hard to hone their acting skills, and they played quite a few extra roles."
Jiang Qiumei began by directly stating Teacher Wang's evaluation.
Although the words were rather euphemistic, the meaning was quite clear.
Bai Lu is more talented than Chen Keke in terms of acting skills, but there is an age gap between them.
Furthermore, if Chen Keke gets into drama school, she might be able to surpass others later on.
In addition, Jiang Qiumei also spoke well of the two of them.
As for Liu Yulan's lack of intention to speak out, she believed that her son would make the arrangements.
Chen Jingyuan began to consider what roles to assign to the two of them.
Both Chen Keke and Bai Lu quieted down, though they were both still a little nervous.
"Chen Keke, I'll arrange a third female lead role for you in the next project."
"Let's see how well she acts first. If she acts well, then we'll consider the female lead."
Chen Jingyuan's gaze fell on Chen Keke as he slowly spoke.
He was really worried that Chen Keke might mess things up, so he decided to postpone the casting of the female lead.
There's no need to put so much pressure on my sister; at the end, just making a little promise can be considered a form of encouragement.
"The third female lead is alright!"
Chen Keke nodded and spoke up after hearing her brother's words, a slight smile already playing on her lips.
It's really not easy to finally get a role that's somewhat well-known.
"White Dew!"
"You'll be playing the female lead in the next project."
"Strike while the iron is hot; it's far from enough for Bai Lu to become a star on 'Chinese Restaurant'."
Chen Jingyuan naturally didn't forget to arrange for Bai Lu to speak, his words carrying a hint of decisiveness.
After much hesitation, he decided to cast Bai Lu as the female lead.
"Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" is a campus youth film, so it doesn't require much acting skill.
Most importantly, if we want to make Bai Lu famous, relying solely on "Chinese Restaurant" is definitely not enough.
If you need a substantial work, "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" is undoubtedly a good choice.
As one of the Zhenhua Trilogy, the first two parts have already garnered considerable popularity.
The third installment will definitely be quite popular, as long as the acting isn't too bad, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Me, the female lead!?"
"Thank you, Brother Chen!"
Bai Lu spoke excitedly, unable to control her emotions at all.
She had only thought she would play a supporting role at most, but she never expected to be the lead actress right away.
Chen Jingyuan wanted to see if his sister's emotions would change, but he underestimated Chen Keke.
Chen Keke was holding Bai Lu and cheering together, completely ignoring the issue of Bai Lu being the female lead over the third female lead.
"One female lead, and one supporting female lead!?"
Jiang Qiumei had a happy expression on her face. She had previously thought that President Chen might not arrange for the female lead.
Both Chen Keke and Bai Lu seem to fall short.
Unexpectedly, things turned out differently; President Chen proved to be quite decisive.
"Won't this arrangement put a lot of pressure on people?"
Liu Yulan frowned slightly, thinking of her son as she spoke.
If Bai Lu or her daughter doesn't perform well, Chen Jingyuan will definitely be the one to take the blame.
"Mom, it's not a big problem!"
Even if failure doesn't affect me much.
Chen Jingyuan shook his head, telling his mother not to worry.
It's actually quite normal for film and television projects to fail; the problem lies in Tianhe Studio's previous string of successes.
Moreover, the project "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" is not necessarily a failure.
"The project you'll be joining is 'Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan'."
"There should still be about two weeks before filming starts, so I'll try my best to do my best in my role."
Chen Jingyuan turned to Chen Keke and continued to instruct them.
"Brother, no problem."
"Brother Chen, I will definitely perform well."
Neither Bai Lu nor Chen Keke would let this opportunity slip by.
"Oh, right, White Dew!"
"The Chinese restaurant has already started advertising; you can verify your Weibo account as an artist."
"It would also be best to clean up some of your previous Weibo posts."
Chen Jingyuan suddenly remembered something and reminded Bai Lu.
It usually takes about a month to edit a variety show, and now it's been almost a month since filming was completed.
It definitely needs to be publicized in advance. As for why we reminded people about the White Dew scarf issue, some of their comments were indeed inappropriate.
For example, he repeatedly claims to be a boy, and he dislikes things that are pretentious or effeminate.
Some of the more radical comments should be deleted.
"Yes, Brother Chen!"
Bai Lu was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized something and suddenly thought of something.
Did Brother Chen see my Weibo post?!
"Has the promotion for 'Chinese Restaurant' started yet? Let me see how it's going."
Chen Keke's expression showed some interest in Bai Lu's performance on the variety show.
Without hesitation, Chen Keke immediately opened her phone and started searching!
The promotional video featured many humorous moments from the guests, especially the scene of Bai Lu washing dishes, which made Chen Keke burst into laughter.
With some somber background music and subtitles, Bai Lu is portrayed as an unloved little cabbage.
But when the camera cuts to Bai Lu's infectious laughter after the dishes are washed, it leaves a lasting impression.
"Sister Jiang and Mom, come and watch the Xiaobai promotional video."
Chen Keke invited Jiang Qiumei and the other woman to come and see, which immediately piqued their interest.
After watching the promotional video, Liu Yulan and Jiang Qiumei couldn't help but laugh.
"This promotional video is utterly defamatory!"
Bai Lu was completely taken aback after watching the promotional video.
Chilling!
She felt that her image was not like that at all.
"Xiao Bai, it looks like you're about to become famous."
Chen Keke pointed to some of the comments under the reposts, many of which asked Bai Lu questions.
Unfortunately, the White Dew solar term doesn't bring much joy because it's too abstract.
Once abstracted, the whole world knows!
Bai Lu never imagined she would become famous in this way.
"Xiao Bai, actually, you can just play some roles that distort public opinion later on."
"At least now it has some popularity, and it has taken the most crucial step."
"The worst thing in this industry is to be ignored."
Jiang Qiumei comforted Bai Lu by speaking, but her words clearly couldn't suppress her joy.
The promotional effect of "Chinese Restaurant" is so good that Bai Lu might become an instant star after it airs.
She's already gained considerable fame, especially with the addition of the female lead this time.
Perhaps Bai Lu's popularity will soar, and then the studio will finally have someone famous.
Once you've had the first one, you're not afraid of not having a second!
Jiang Qiumei was even considering buying some press releases to do some marketing.
Everyone present knew that this publicity was probably at Chen Jingyuan's behest, but Bai Lu didn't dare to lose her temper with Chen Jingyuan.
"I must do my best in 'Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan'."
"Strive to change the image of many people!"
Bai Lu couldn't help but think to herself, "Anyway, I can't become famous for being abstract."
She was unaware that Sister Jiang, who had signed her contract, was secretly preparing to betray her.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Lu's verified Weibo account gained over 100,000 followers.
She suddenly gained a lot of fame from being an amateur model. Although some comments questioned Bai Lu's background, they were all covered up by abstract images.
This is already a good start, and Jiang Qiumei is very happy to see her fan base growing every day.
"Preparing to head to Yanjing to join the film crew."
"This time, the filming locations were chosen to be Beijing and Tianjin."
Chen Jingyuan immediately informed his mother and the others that it was time to pack their things and leave.
To hone his acting skills, he has been in Hengdian for a long time.
Both Chen Keke and her mother Liu Yulan have changed a lot, and Chen Jingyuan has more confidence in the development of the studio.
Just as Chen Jingyuan was heading to Yanjing, the first episode of "Chinese Restaurant" was released.
Chen Jingyuan was busy with the new project and didn't stay at the Penguin Building this time, but he had already asked President Sun to pay more attention to it, so there was no need to worry too much.
Time is indeed a bit tight for Chen Jingyuan!
Besides the project "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan", the script for "Day and Night" has already been written.
Liu Yang and others waited for his final confirmation in Yanjing. After confirmation, they began to assemble a crew, cast and film.
Not to mention "Fighter of the Destiny," Tencent Pictures and Tencent Video don't even know when the project will be officially launched.
Chen Jingyuan will definitely be present, and may even participate!
The investment is several hundred million, comparable to a small project like "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" which was filmed ten or more times.
Needless to say, Chen Jingyuan wanted to see the two projects, "Day and Night" and "Unrequited Love," start filming during this time.
