Chapter 84 Frustration, Tian Xiwei
Both Chen Jingyuan and Dilraba should be somewhat grateful to Yang Mi, the matchmaker.
The problem is that everyone thought Yang Mi was the owner of Jaywalk Studio, but in the end she was just an employee and was even kicked out.
Chen Jingyuan should naturally consider Dilraba's situation more!
Chen Jingyuan even had the idea of having Dilraba terminate her contract and set up her own studio.
After thinking it over, I decided against it, because that would have given Dilraba a bad reputation for being ungrateful.
In addition, the relationship with the matchmaker still needs to be considered to some extent, and the celebrity's reputation is still very important.
"Resources cannot all be earned by the artists themselves, and Jaywalk cannot simply sit back and reap the benefits."
Chen Jingyuan murmured softly, his words already foreshadowing the outcome.
Jiaxing clearly cannot afford to gamble, as its net profit performance in the first year of the three-year performance guarantee was poor.
Whether Dilraba can go further is still very important for Jaywalk Studio.
Even though Chen Jingyuan knew that Jiaxing had ultimately fulfilled the bet, Yang Mi and the others were unaware of it.
Just as Chen Jingyuan had thought, Jiaxing was quite frustrated this time.
Resources are needed to help Dilraba Dilmurat and also to shorten her contract period.
However, Yang Mi and others still understand that as long as Dilraba can become a top star, she can bring at least 20 million yuan more in revenue to Jaywalk Studio every year.
In the era of internet traffic, this number may be an underestimation!
The performance-based agreement is very likely to be completed, and once completed, Jiaxing's valuation will be in the billions.
Faced with the temptation of billions, the only option is to compromise!
The next day, Chen Jingyuan received a message from Yang Mi, which was a newly drafted contract.
at the same time!
Dilraba was clearly stunned and couldn't understand it when she received the new contract.
"Honey, what's going on?!"
Dilraba directly called Yang Mi to inquire.
"There's a good man standing behind you!"
Yang Mi could only say this in the end, her words filled with emotion.
We still need to rely on Dilraba to maintain our relationship with Chen Jingyuan; we definitely can't afford to fall out.
Jaywalk Studio also has other artists and still needs resources.
Moreover, it was clearly Chen Jingyuan who brought the villains this time. Dilraba was completely unaware of it!
Yang Mi couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Dilraba, who couldn't offer any help compared to her husband.
On the contrary, Dilraba and Chen Jingyuan's relationship is at most that of boyfriend and girlfriend, yet she only considers so much.
When Dilraba saw that Sister Mi was unwilling to say anything, she could only send a message to Chen Jingyuan to inquire.
It's quite obvious that this new contract is related to Chen Jingyuan!
As time goes by, no one knows what will happen in a few years.
Ending the contract earlier offers more options.
Chen Jingyuan recounted the whole story without embellishing it, and added two sentences.
【Thanks!】
After a long time, Dilraba replied to Chen Jingyuan with a message, and it was clear that she had figured it out.
At first, Dilraba was a little hesitant; she didn't want to have a falling out with Jaywalk Studio.
However, Dilraba knew that Chen Jingyuan was doing this for her own good, and that there were indeed too many uncertainties in the future.
Jiaxing may not be the end. Although Sister Mi does take good care of her, Dilraba is not stupid when it comes to her own interests.
"For this 'Fighter of the Destiny' project, we could consider casting some people from Jiaxing Media."
Chen Jingyuan murmured softly, "I still understand the principle of giving a stick and then a sweet treat."
As for whether his relationship with Jaywalk Studio has deteriorated, he doesn't care.
It's different that Jiaxing needs his presence, not that he needs Jiaxing.
Besides, we should believe that Yang Mi is a smart person!
The fact that Yang Mi didn't tell Dilraba the truth directly shows that she didn't want to ruin their relationship.
In fact, Jaywalk could have gambled on the extent of Chen Jingyuan's affection for Dilraba, but it's obvious that Jaywalk didn't dare to take that gamble.
Chen Jingyuan from Shanghai arrived at Tencent Pictures' office to discuss casting with the production team.
"Dilraba's image perfectly matches the requirements of the role."
Chen Wu, who was sitting in the first seat, spoke first to repay a previous favor.
The people at Tencent Pictures naturally supported it; they wouldn't dare to disagree with their boss.
As for Tencent Penguin Pictures, Chen Jingyuan is the representative.
The rest of the Tencent Pictures staff who accompanied Chen Jingyuan were all tacitly aware of the situation.
The female lead was chosen faster than expected.
Director Chung Shu-chia had anticipated this scene and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
How could Cai Yinong possibly compete with him?
Fortunately, Dilraba fits the shortlist, so it's acceptable if she's chosen.
After much discussion about the choice of the male lead, Lu Han was finally chosen!
Among the four former EXO members who returned to China, Lu Han is undoubtedly a top influencer with over 1 million comments on his Weibo account.
Regardless of whether the data is fabricated or not, its popularity is definitely number one.
Chen Jingyuan did not object to this choice. Before announcing their relationship, Lu Han's popularity was indeed quite astonishing.
The key point is that it's still early before they announce their relationship, which is enough time for "Fighter of the Destiny" to finish airing.
After the male and female leads were cast, the other roles were to wait for auditions to see how they fared.
The casting of the male and female leads for "Fighter of the Destiny" was quickly revealed.
"Look, the female lead is Dilraba, isn't she?" the sugar figurine exclaimed.
Cai Yinong looked at the pile of twigs in front of him and couldn't help but speak, his words carrying a hint of helplessness.
"Mr. Cai, I have another appointment."
"I'm leaving now!"
Naza was touching up her makeup with her makeup box, completely ignoring what Cai Yinong was saying.
In the end, Cai Yinong could only wave his hand, indicating that he should leave on his own!
She talked for a long time, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Compared to the Sugar Man side, the Jiaxing side was much more lively.
Many artists signed with Jaywalk Studio congratulated Dilraba, unaware that there was a hint of humiliation involved.
Fortunately, Yang Mi found some comfort in the fact that the role was confirmed.
She was starting to wonder, was it really that difficult for Chen Jingyuan to win the female lead role?
It doesn't seem difficult at all; it's obvious they're manipulating Jiaxing.
The problem was that they seemed to have no way to help Chen Jingyuan; there was truly no time when he needed their help.
Countless people in the industry envy Dilraba.
In less than a year, they secured two major productions.
Especially with "Goodbye My Princess" still showing in theaters, the casting of "Fighter of the Destiny" has made Dilraba even more popular.
With the surge in popularity, it's inevitable that some negative articles will follow.
"With so many resources available to Jaywalk Studio, Dilraba has already landed roles in two big-budget productions."
"Dilraba's period drama look is not as good as Gulnazar's, so why should she be the female lead?"
"I feel that Dilraba's acting is very hollow and lacks soul."
With fame comes controversy, and this is something that almost every female celebrity who becomes famous has to go through.
Chen Jingyuan had read through these press releases, and they were all speculations without any substantial evidence.
Yang Mi's angry rebuttal of these press releases on behalf of Dilraba further fueled the controversy.
However, Dilraba, who was originally in Shanghai to participate in a brand event, had to cancel her meeting with Chen Jingyuan.
"There are countless reporters following Dilraba now."
Chen Jingyuan shook his head and, after discussing it with Reba, proposed to cancel.
In addition, there have been quite a few things going on lately!
Besides issues like the casting location for "Fighter of the Destiny," there was also the matter of my younger sister's college entrance exam for arts.
The deadline for art exam registration is the end of this month, and candidates will need to travel to various cities to participate in preliminary exams.
Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan arranged for Chen Keke to play the third female lead, so her role wasn't as big as expected.
A lot of footage has already been shot in advance; the rest will be added later.
Yan Jing Liu Yulan brought Chen Keke directly back from the set of "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan".
This was part of my preparation for the art exams, and I had already hired a tutor to guide me.
For the past six months or so, Chen Keke has had quite a few mentors.
"Mom, are we staying in a hotel?!"
Chen Keke was quite familiar with Yanjing and asked directly.
"Jiang had already rented rooms for us."
"We can just go there directly!"
Liu Yulan said that Jiang Qiumei had made arrangements before returning.
Jiang Qiumei previously worked at Enlight Media and had quite a few connections in Beijing.
Since Jiang Qiumei's family has settled in Yanjing, helping them rent a house is no easy task.
After taking a taxi, the mother and daughter arrived at a rented room outside the Beijing Film Academy!
Although it wasn't particularly luxurious, it was fully furnished with all the necessary furniture and appliances.
Most importantly, it's close to the Nortel Film Academy, which alone shows how much effort they put into it.
"It's a pity that Sister Chen Yao and Sister Zi Yi are no longer at school."
Chen Keke said with a hint of regret on her face, "Otherwise, I would have had company when I came to Yanjing."
"If you can get into Beijing Film Academy, you'll have a chance to be with them."
Liu Yulan's words were encouraging, but Chen Keke didn't seem very confident.
Compared to some who come from performing arts families and aspire to take the art exam route from a young age.
Chen Keke only decided to pursue an art student career in high school, which put her at a relatively disadvantage.
Getting into the Beijing Film Academy is still very difficult!
"Oh, right, Mom!"
"Will you come celebrate the New Year with me, brother?!"
Chen Keke suddenly asked a question: The Chinese New Year is on February 8th.
The preliminary exams for art academies such as Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy are all concentrated in February, which means they will be spending the Chinese New Year in Beijing.
"I don't know, let your brother arrange it himself."
"
"Your brother has a lot going on too, running around to three film crews at the same time."
Liu Yulan shook her head and said aloud!
It's one thing to not know about Chen Jingyuan's situation before the studio was established.
Now that her son has established his own studio and is working with the film crew, Liu Yulan is well aware of how busy he has been lately.
I'm not asking for anything, but this year's situation is indeed a bit special.
Over the next few days, Chen Keke honed her basic skills with the help of her instructor.
Liu Yulan then accompanied Chen Keke to the studio run by her mentor.
On the way back, not far from his rented room, he spotted a girl practicing her morning exercises.
Chen Keke's eyes lit up when she saw it, and she went up to greet them without hesitation.
It's fate that we met; we're both art students!
The girl's name is Tian Xiwei, and she comes from the Chongqing area. Sichuan and Chongqing are like one family!
This could be considered meeting someone from the same hometown, as Tian Xiwei herself is not an introverted person.
After a few words, they quickly became familiar with each other, especially since they were both art students and had a lot to talk about.
"Xiaotian, you're taking the art exam all by yourself!?"
"You're really brave; I wouldn't dare to do it alone."
"Coco, I think one person is enough."
As they talked back and forth, they discovered that they had many similarities.
For example, both of them switched to art students in high school, but the difference might be that Xiaotian's academic performance was better.
"If your grades were as good as Xiaotian's, why would you need to take the art exam?"
Liu Yulan couldn't help but complain out loud.
"Mom, I chose to take the arts exam because I love performing, not because my grades were bad."
Chen Keke still retorted, somewhat unconvinced.
The bickering between mother and daughter brought smiles to Tian Xiwei's face quite a bit.
Tian Xiwei faced considerable pressure renting an apartment alone in Chongqing to take the art exam.
Meeting two fellow villagers, both of whom seemed easy to get along with, reduced a lot of pressure.
Over the course of a few days, Liu Yulan and Chen Keke became even more familiar with Tian Xiwei.
"Xiaotian, Auntie invites you to celebrate the New Year with her."
"It's fate that we meet, so don't refuse it."
Liu Yulan took the initiative to invite Tian Xiwei to speak, her words carrying a hint of sincerity.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Xiwei ultimately did not refuse.
She had already visited Chen Keke's rented apartment twice, and it wasn't far from her apartment.
The only difference might be that the one with better conditions is the one that is better off.
She chose to practice her basic skills outside the rented room because the space was relatively small.
That's how I met Chen Keke and her mother!
For people from Sichuan and Chongqing, nothing brings people closer together on New Year's Eve than a spicy hot pot.
Liu Yulan ordered takeout from the hotel in advance and had it delivered!
"Xiaotian, make yourself at home and don't be shy."
Liu Yulan said that she took good care of this young fellow villager.
If you can lend a hand when you're out and about, that's fine, and besides, Tian Xiwei is the sweet type that makes her very likable.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Tian Xiwei spoke very politely, and then her speed in picking up food with her hands noticeably increased.
Just then, Chen Jingyuan made a video call.
Chen Jingyuan did not choose to come to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year together, as it would be too much trouble to make the trip.
Traveling during the crucial Chinese New Year period can be quite troublesome.
"Brother, we're eating hot pot."
"Happy New Year!"
"My dinner was a large lobster delivered from the hotel."
The siblings seemed to bicker more frequently after arriving in Hengdian.
Of course, it could be that Chen Keke's true nature was being revealed, just like the younger sister in Chen Jingyuan's memory when she became a video blogger.
Sitting next to Chen Keke, Tian Xiwei looked quite envious.
She is an only child, but she once thought about having a sibling with whom she had a good relationship.
After bickering for a while, Chen Keke handed the phone to her mother.
"Mom, I've already made arrangements for the plane tickets and transportation."
"You can just go directly to the various cities then."
"If you need anything, you can send me a message in advance."
Chen Jingyuan got down to business, saying that keeping up with logistics would save a lot of trouble.
If you have to travel to multiple cities and consider issues like food and accommodation, it's not easy to focus on the art exam.
Liu Yulan was quite satisfied with Chen Jingyuan's arrangements!
He then gave his son a few instructions, but didn't say much more.
In any case, Chen Keke will need to go to Shanghai in ten days to participate in the preliminary examination of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
We'll be able to meet again then!
