69novels Chapter 13 Tianhe Studio
Chapter 13 Tianhe Studio
The seventh day of the Lunar New Year
Chen Jingyuan has started working, as announced internally by Tencent Video.
[Tianhe Studio officially established, with President Assistant Chen Jingyuan in charge of its operation]
In the future, Tencent Video's content department will establish numerous studios based on scripts and variety shows.
Similar to a game division, different studios are responsible for different games.
If the operation is not good, some studios may be replaced.
Although Tencent Video had received a lot of related information before.
However, I was still quite surprised to see that this person had set up a separate studio.
"President Sun trusts Assistant Chen far too much."
"You should now address him as General Manager Chen; his title has changed."
"When this person asked before, they hesitated and didn't join."
"Now I regret it!"
...
Many people in the Tencent Video content department were discussing it.
Some people are envious, but some regret it!
Because of the previous "Heart Signal" incident, many people still believe in this person's abilities.
Chen Jingyuan didn't care what these people thought; he went to the area specifically reserved for Tianhe Studio.
Five employees who had been selected from other departments were already standing in front of him.
Besides Liu Yang, there were several others selected by Chen Jingyuan.
Qiao Yujie is a recent graduate from Shenzhen University who just started her internship.
Chen Jingyuan calls her Xiao Qiao, but she is actually a boy.
He currently holds the lowest rank in the entire Tianhe Studio, making him arguably the most undesirable employee.
Huang Yuanming is a seasoned veteran who has been with the company for several years.
However, they are quite capable and can assist with collaboration issues between the studio and other departments.
Wang Tingting was previously in talks with other teams to collaborate on variety shows.
Their communication skills are quite good!
The last one is Jiang Qiaodan, who was originally in charge of cost calculation in the finance department.
Both are over thirty years old and are considered experienced individuals.
"These are all among the first batch of members of our Tianhe Studio!"
"We all know each other, so I won't go into details."
"Next, I'll arrange things at the studio and start preparing for our first project."
...
Chen Jingyuan slowly spoke, saying that he had almost figured out the project before the Chinese New Year.
After he finished speaking, everyone present became serious.
They joined Chen Jingyuan's studio because they saw the potential in the project.
Progress can only be made through projects!
"Sister Wang, Sister Jiang!"
"You two go and acquire the three youth campus novels written by August Chang'an, which are set in Zhenhua High School."
...
Chen Jingyuan spoke first, instructing the two to speak.
Just last year, in August, Chang'an released the final installment of the Zhenhua Trilogy.
Acquiring the copyright now would be more appropriate!
Although copyright prices have started to rise, the increase is still within an acceptable range.
The total cost of all three films together would definitely not exceed two million.
"Old Huang, take Xiao Qiao to find some editors."
"We will first adapt these three novels into screenplays."
Next, Chen Jingyuan began to speak.
"Yes, Mr. Chen!"
Those who were assigned tasks all spoke up.
Chen Jingyuan chose the Zhenhua Trilogy mainly because of cost.
While establishing a studio grants more power, it doesn't mean there are no budget constraints.
With a project worth over 100 million right off the bat, even Mr. Sun must be getting restless.
In contrast, youth campus films can be made with a budget of several million or tens of millions of dollars.
In terms of promotion, Tencent Video has its own channels, so Chen Jingyuan doesn't need to worry about that.
"Mr. Chen, what are we going to do?!"
Upon hearing that he hadn't been given any instructions, Liu Yang looked a little anxious and spoke up.
"You'll be my assistant for now!"
Chen Jingyuan said quietly.
Although it had a hint of nepotism, Liu Yang was actually quite shrewd.
She gets along very well with many people, so she would be a good assistant.
"Yes, Mr. Chen!"
Liu Yang spoke with great excitement.
Although the job rank has not changed, the change in position is still a good thing.
The copyright purchase was resolved in less than a month.
The Zhenhua Trilogy was bought for 180 million, which is a good price.
Chen Jingyuan knew that the trilogy had achieved excellent results.
As February drew to a close, Kiwifruit's "Soul Ferry" was released.
It received over ten million clicks in a short period of time after it was launched.
Kiwifruit directly gained a large amount of traffic and memberships.
It immediately ignited the popularity of the online drama!
This has made many video websites see the potential of web series.
Sun Zhonghuai even recalled his first conversation with Chen Jingyuan.
This person previously predicted the future of web dramas, and now we are already seeing the signs of it.
Self-produced web series or co-produced series may be the future trend.
The support for Chen Jingyuan is even greater!
Basically, all the studio's expenses were approved without hesitation.
"Liu Yang, book two plane tickets to Yanjing."
Chen Jingyuan directly instructed his assistant to speak.
The copyright and script adaptation are almost done; now it's time to find a director and cast the actors.
After much deliberation, he still wanted to find Liu Chang, the original director of the series.
This person entered the Beijing Film Academy in 2000, but started as an actor and later transitioned to directing.
Two years ago, we co-directed a TV series called "Dark Line"!
Unfortunately, it was broadcast on a terrestrial channel, so the response was lukewarm and its popularity was limited.
After a failed directorial effort, turning things around is not so easy.
The next person is a screenwriter who works on film crews.
If a directing opportunity were presented to me now, I would probably not refuse it.
Of course, Chen Jingyuan wasn't fixated on this one; he had several other options in mind.
As for why we went to Yanjing, it's mainly because casting and filming in Shenzhen are both very troublesome.
In the future, Tencent Video will also set up a branch office and office in Yanjing.
My main responsibility is content creation.
Chen Jingyuan will likely need to stay in Yanjing for the foreseeable future.
After reporting his arrival, Chen Jingyuan and his assistant set off first.
Once the director is confirmed, the production team will be assembled!
As for the other staff members in the studio, they will be added gradually later.
This was Chen Jingyuan's first time visiting Yanjing, spanning both lifetimes.
at the same time!
On the other hand, Liu Chang was very excited when he received a call from Tencent Video Studio.
However, to avoid being scammed, he personally asked someone to inquire about it.
Tencent Video has indeed established a Tianhe Studio, which wields considerable power.
The person in charge and the contact information are all correct.
"This is an opportunity!"
Liu Chang realized this and immediately began preparations.
Despite being a web series, the recent popularity of "The Ferryman" still made many people envious.
Moreover, the opportunity to direct is enough to make many directing graduates fight tooth and nail for it.
Don't forget that he's only transitioning from actor to director; he must seize this opportunity.
