Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 116 A makeshift troupe, having a meal together.

A reading feast: a vast collection of books and an unparalleled reading experience.

Chen Jingyuan sometimes still couldn't understand why Tencent Video, such a large internet company, would do this.

As the vice president of Tencent Penguin Pictures, he was familiar with some of Tencent Video's financial reports.

In that year, Tencent Video's revenue exceeded 70 billion yuan!

Although Tencent Video is not listed separately, if it were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, its valuation would certainly be at least 30 billion yuan, comparable to Alibaba Pictures.

In addition, it is backed by Tencent and has partnered with Tencent Pictures!

The Tencent Video All Star Awards turned out to be a shoddy affair; was it handled by someone with connections?

Anyway, Chen Jingyuan definitely didn't want to see this happen.

However, since this matter was under Sun Zhonghuai's jurisdiction, he could only offer a tactful reminder.

While Sun Zhonghuai was present, Chen Jingyuan did not forget to report on some of the projects he was leading.

For example, there was "My Youth Meets You" before, but there's no rush for "Blossoms Shanghai".

Compared to the former, the latter requires a larger investment!

Even if it's Tencent Pictures investing, there's definitely a need for some kind of review.

Since it's still early, there's no need to bring it up beforehand.

Chen Jingyuan did give a detailed explanation of the "Hello Mr. Billionaire" project.

"You're very optimistic about this project!?"

Sun Zhonghuai couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Tencent Pictures doesn't push film projects; their main focus remains on TV series and web series.

Investment in film projects can be said to have been a natural progression, including the previous film "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

Tencent Video has a 10% market share, but it was actually Kaixin Mahua that approached them.

The reason is simple: Kaixin Mahua (a type of fried dough twist) saw the potential in Tencent Video's promotional channels.

By binding Tencent Video with its own revenue share, Tencent Video also played a significant role in the box office success of "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

Chen Jingyuan's family still has a significant investment in the "Hello Mr. Billionaire" project.

The procedures are legal and compliant, so there's nothing wrong with them, at least on the surface.

The only problem is whether the project will succeed. If it fails, Chen Jingyuan will definitely be criticized.

The tens of millions of dollars invested in "Hello Mr. Billionaire" is nothing to Tencent Pictures.

Even failure is something that can be taken care of. Chen Jingyuan has succeeded so many times before, so it's understandable that he failed once.

The crucial failure, coupled with Chen Jingyuan's suspicion of abusing his power for personal gain, would be troublesome. This is why Sun Zhonghuai questioned Chen Jingyuan.

"I'm really optimistic about it. I feel that with good box office promotion, it could reach 2 billion."

Chen Jingyuan spoke with full confidence, without the slightest hesitation.

The movie "Hello Mr. Billionaire" is indeed a classic.

The idea that the protagonist was either a "Sleeping Dragon" or a "Young Phoenix" before his rebirth is still widely known.

Many scenes from the movie remain vivid in Chen Jingyuan's memory even now.

Chen Jingyuan is certainly not lacking in confidence!

Sun Zhonghuai looked somewhat surprised, despite having had many projects in the past.

But there aren't many people who can make Chen Jingyuan so resolute.

After discussing matters for the morning, Chen Jingyuan left.

He planned to take this opportunity to spend more time with his mother, but he didn't want to be conscripted by Boss Sun.

Fortunately, Sun Zhonghuai did not have Chen Jingyuan take over the matters concerning the Star Awards.

At noon, after discussing it with his mother, Chen Jingyuan chose to have lunch at a restaurant near the hotel.

Normally it's a family of three, but the problem is that Jiang Qiumei and Bai Lu are also involved.

Moreover, there are two assistants, Bai Lu and Chen Keke, so the number of people is quite large.

When Chen Jingyuan arrived at the restaurant from the Tencent Video office, everyone was already there.

"Brother, come quick!"

"We've been waiting for you."

...

Chen Keke quickly called her older brother over and spoke up.

Since they were all family, Chen Jingyuan naturally didn't stand on ceremony and took a seat directly.

After several rounds of dishes, Chen Jingyuan finally brought up some arrangements for the Star Awards.

"Me, the first one!?"

Chen Keke looked a little surprised and said.

However, considering my fame and status, it seems quite normal for me to be ranked first.

Bai Lu, who was standing next to her, also heard her position; she was seventh.

Although her position was near the front, Bai Lu had no complaints.

In just one year, he has surpassed many artists who have been in the industry for many years, which is already very satisfying.

It's a pity that "The Eternal Love" has already been edited, but it ran into "Fighter of the Destiny".

Faced with a project like "Fighter of the Destiny," the release date of "The Eternal Love" had to be postponed.

Fortunately, many popular dramas have several episodes in production, so the delay of "The Eternal Love" is not a big deal.

Moreover, for Bailu, there are advantages to broadcasting later.

Being able to be released around the same time as "Hello Mr. Billionaire" gives the work a chance to become a huge hit.

"Bro, can you tell me who the celebrities are attending this time?!"

Chen Keke couldn't help but ask a question, her words filled with curiosity.

"With so many top celebrities involved, the first edition is sure to be quite lively."

"Especially since Tencent Video still has a considerable influence."

"Many celebrities will definitely give you face to some extent."

...

Chen Jingyuan did not hide anything from the list of celebrities and spoke up directly.

Next, the Tencent Video All Star Awards will start releasing more and more information.

The mention of numerous top celebrities still brought a look of excitement to Chen Keke's face.

Although Chen Keke had previously filmed, she had only worked with the younger generation.

They've either only recently gained some fame, and I haven't really had much contact with any of the big-name celebrities.

In contrast, Bai Lu was very calm. The variety show "Chinese Restaurant" allowed her to meet many celebrities.

In addition to the variety shows she had previously participated in, Bai Lu got to know even more people.

"By the way, bro!"

"Is Reba's sister-in-law in Beijing?!"

Chen Keke then inquired about another matter.

"They should be in Shanghai right now."

Chen Jingyuan was taken aback by his sister's sudden question, but he still answered.

Dilraba is quite busy. After finishing filming "Fighter of the Destiny", she has been busy with many filming, endorsement, and other engagements.

After that, she joined the cast of "Pretty Li Huizhen," and her schedule was no less demanding than Yang Mi's.

Given the abundance of paparazzi these days, Chen Jingyuan and Chen Jingyuan decided against a secret rendezvous.

We plan to have a quiet get-together after the Starlight Awards.

When evening came, Chen Jingyuan received a call from Sun Zhonghuai.

As soon as the call was answered, Sun Zhonghuai's furious voice rang out.

"Xiao Chen, thank goodness you reminded me of some issues regarding the Tencent Video All Star Awards."

"There are indeed many problems with the venue setup; some of the sound systems are even broken."

"Luckily, you reminded me; there's still time to correct it."

...

You could tell from Sun Zhonghuai's voice that he was still quite angry.

The first Star Awards was personally overseen by Sun Chung-huai, which speaks volumes about the importance he placed on it.

But I never expected such a big mistake to happen.

It would be strange if I wasn't angry!

"Mr. Sun, it's not too late to make changes now."

Chen Jingyuan calmly said, "It seems that some of the employees at Tencent Pictures are still unreliable."

"This is the only way!"

Sun Zhonghuai said helplessly, his words clearly still carrying a lot of emotion.

Even Chen Jingyuan shook his head, knowing that President Sun would definitely criticize some people this time.

However, many employees of Tencent Video still have an internet mindset.

It's not that the film and television company is thinking poorly; it's just that they couldn't properly organize the Star Awards.

He didn't dwell on the matter too much, figuring that things would definitely improve since he had already given the warning.

With only a few days left until the Star Awards, it's time for him to make his official appearance.
