Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 186 Befriending, Judging, and Hesitation

The mother and son chatted all the way to the hotel, had a simple meal, and then rested.

The premiere is scheduled for 7 p.m., but considering makeup and travel time, preparations may need to begin as early as 5 p.m.

Chen Jingyuan and his mother were fine; a little simple makeup didn't take long.

Relatively speaking, the White Dew season requires a longer period of time.

When Chen Jingyuan saw Bai Lu again, she had slightly wavy long hair and wore a bright red gilded satin dress.

"This outfit is not bad!"

Chen Jingyuan didn't hold back in praising him.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

Bai Lu smiled slightly as she answered, secretly pleased with herself.

Compared to her, Chen Jingyuan was no less impressive. His suit and the imposing presence that came with his high position made him equally the center of attention.

"Xiao Bai does look much less naive now that he's dressed up."

Liu Yulan came out from outside and said that she had obviously overheard the conversation between the two.

The group didn't chat for long before setting off!

The premiere of "Never Say Die" was held at the Wanda Cinema in Yanjing.

It takes about half an hour to get there, and it may take longer during the evening rush hour.

By the time Chen Jingyuan and his group arrived, it was almost time for the premiere to begin.

However, it doesn't matter, since Chen Jingyuan and the others have special identities.

Bai Lu should have arrived earlier, but as Chen Jingyuan's female companion, it didn't matter.

As soon as I got off the car, I was surrounded by a large number of reporters and media!

"Mr. Chen, does Tencent Video have any upcoming projects?"

"Sister Liu, I heard that Lanco Entertainment Company seems to have a project?!"

"Bai Lu, did you choose to study at the Beijing Film Academy because your acting skills were criticized before?!"

...

Many reporters were rushing to ask questions!

Chen Jingyuan and others were not easy to interview, since they are not celebrities and generally do not report their schedules.

As for Bai Lu, she is now considered a top-tier actress, so it's normal for her to be interviewed about various issues.

Unfortunately, Chen Jingyuan and others did not answer the reporters' questions.

Today is the premiere of "Never Say Die," so answering questions is a way to grab attention.

Chen Jingyuan is currently quite popular and easily trends on social media.

There's really no need for that!

When we entered the cinema, Liu Hongtao, the person in charge of Kaixin Mahua, was already waiting.

And then there's the cast of this movie.

Shen Teng, the signature actor of Kaixin Mahua, needs no introduction.

"General Manager Chen, General Manager Liu."

"Welcome, both of you."

...

Shen Teng and Chen Jingyuan were quite familiar with each other, and he spoke in a rather exaggerated tone.

"Xiao Shen, it's been a while."

Liu Yulan spoke first, her words still carrying a great deal of joy.

Despite Shen Teng's growing popularity and status, he was still just a star in front of Liu Yulan.

Considering the age difference, there was still no problem with Xiao Shen calling him that.

"Teacher Shen!"

As for Chen Jingyuan, he was relatively polite, after all, he wasn't older than Shen Teng.

Soon the group entered the cinema's auditorium, where many celebrity guests had already arrived.

For example, Wu Jing, who is currently very popular after "Wolf Warrior 2" just finished its run in theaters.

There are also many producers and directors in the industry.

In addition, Chen Jingyuan also saw Wang Changtian attend.

The success of several films by Kaixin Mahua has proven that their previous hit, "Goodbye Mr. Loser," was not just a flash in the pan.

This naturally attracted even more people to come!

Sometimes the entertainment industry is just that small; you basically know all the guests who come.

Chen Jingyuan, due to his status, was also a focus among the many celebrity guests.

Many people greeted him, but time was running out and the opening ceremony was almost over.

Chen Jingyuan needed to go to his assigned seat. He liked science fiction novels?

After taking his seat, Chen Jingyuan happened to be next to Wang Changtian of Guangxian.

As for Liu Yulan, the mother, and Bai Lu, their seats were relatively far away.

"Old Wang, didn't you guys buy Guo Jingming's 'River Flows to the Sea of ​​Sorrow' before?!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Jingyuan suddenly thought of the arrangements for Zhang Ruonan.

He needs to communicate with the lighting department to arrange a role for Zhang Ruonan according to the original plan.

"Mr. Chen, this novel project has been approved."

"Filming is expected to begin in a few months."

Wang Changtian was taken aback for a moment, but quickly spoke up.

Normally, this is just a low-budget film, and Chen Jingyuan shouldn't have paid any attention to it.

"I'm optimistic about this movie and would like to play the second female lead."

"Resources can be exchanged!"

Chen Jingyuan spoke up directly, saying there was no need to dwell on it.

After he finished speaking, Wang Changtian was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that Chen Jingyuan wanted a role.

"no problem!"

Wang Changtian agreed without hesitation, without even mentioning what resources would be exchanged.

Previously, Lan Keke, who starred in "Hello Mr. Billionaire," invested a sum of money in Enlight Media.

Although the investment ratio was not very high, the box office of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" was a huge success.

Enlight Media can easily earn forty or fifty million, so naturally they should appreciate this favor.

Chen Jingyuan hadn't expected Wang Changtian to be so agreeable, but he quickly understood.

Besides the "Hello Mr. Billionaire" factor, another reason was that Wang Changtian wanted to befriend Chen Jingyuan.

Chen Jingyuan is a master of the Midas touch in the industry, primarily known for his expertise in television dramas and web series.

However, it seems that this trend is emerging in the film industry.

"Let's find a place to have a drink after the premiere."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jingyuan continued speaking!

Old Wang was being so accommodating; he's not an ungrateful person.

We should still treat them to a simple meal!

"OK!"

"Let's have a couple more drinks then."

Wang Changtian answered without hesitation that being able to befriend Chen Jingyuan through a role would definitely be a win.

Besides, she was just the second female lead, so he didn't expect much.

However, Chen Jingyuan's attention to this project made Wang Changtian more attentive.

When it comes to promotion, we might allocate more resources.

The two did not speak further, and the premiere of "Never Say Die" officially began.

Chen Jingyuan had seen this movie before his rebirth; it tells the story of a reporter and a boxer whose souls are swapped.

In terms of box office revenue, it ultimately surpassed 20 billion, which is already an outstanding achievement.

Even including "Wolf Warrior 2", there are very few movies that have broken the 20 billion mark.

It's worth mentioning that Shen Teng made a special appearance in this film, not as the male lead.

Laughter frequently filled the theater, clearly indicating that "Never Say Die" was a success.

After all, this is a fantasy gender-swap comedy film, and the fact that it can make the audience laugh means that its reputation is already secure.

As time went on, the film ended with a Q&A session.

The process is similar to that before "Hello Mr. Billionaire".

"Mr. Chen, how much do you think this movie will gross?"

Taking advantage of this moment, Wang Changtian secretly inquired about Chen Jingyuan's assessment.

"There's a chance of 2 billion!"

Chen Jingyuan did not hide anything from this question and spoke directly.

"So many predictions!?"

Wang Changtian hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Although he could tell that the movie was pretty good and should be a success.

But isn't 2 billion yuan in box office revenue a bit exaggerated? After all, that's no small amount.

However, seeing Chen Jingyuan's confident demeanor, even Wang Changtian was not sure for a moment.

Could it be that this movie, "Never Say Die," really has the potential to gross 2 billion yuan?!
