Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 255 of "The Story of Minglan" is now online; preparations are underway.

The controversy surrounding the rich list didn't last long this time, but the Forbes China Rich List may be released soon.

There's no doubt that it will generate a lot of buzz at that time.

Besides that, there was another thing that dominated the headlines.

That is about Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng getting their marriage certificate. Although there were many rumors before, the sudden official announcement was still quite abrupt.

Compared to other actresses born in the 1980s, Zhao Liying is not known for her looks.

In other words, the number of idol fans is naturally smaller, and while the official announcement caused some controversy, it didn't have as much of an impact as expected.

For example, some fans who are dedicated to their careers have left, and there are also criticisms of poor judgment.

Many people feel that Feng Shaofeng is not a good match for Deng Deng, and this is a controversial issue.

However, it still brought a lot of popularity to "The Story of Minglan".

They fell in love while filming!

At least many netizens think so, and many even plan to check the drama "The Story of Minglan" to verify this.

In addition, some netizens asked Chen Keke, mainly wanting to know if there was any hint of anything between the two during filming.

It's important to know that Zhao Liying's repeated denials of the original timeline led to numerous controversies even after the information was made public.

However, with Chen Jingyuan involved this time, public opinion is still paying close attention to Zhao Liying's situation.

Instead of having Zhao Liying directly deny it, they used ambiguity to generate buzz.

This also reduced the amount of controversy surrounding Zhao Liying's public appearances!

Riding on this wave of popularity, "The Story of Minglan" was finally released on both television and online platforms.

It attracted a lot of viewers as soon as it was released, and its viewership and streaming numbers were both at their highest.

Firstly, it broke the 2% viewership rating mark, becoming the only satellite TV drama to achieve this in recent times.

This record is likely to stand for a very long time.

Because there aren't that many people watching TV these days, after all, video websites are so convenient.

The online streaming revenue exceeded 100 million views on the first day across three platforms, a truly astonishing achievement.

Although it was produced by Tencent Penguin Pictures, they still need to sell some online streaming rights to recoup their costs.

As for what's trending on social media, needless to say!

In a short period of time, it dominated the Weibo charts, and even Chen Keke became a sensation.

Chen Keke had never played a leading role before, but she was successful in every project she participated in.

The second female lead can also accumulate a lot of popularity, and Chen Keke doesn't currently rely on acting to gain popularity.

Unexpectedly, the second female lead in the drama "The Story of Minglan" had a breakout performance.

To be honest, even Chen Keke herself was a little surprised.

Chen Keke has played many supporting roles and is used to being a supporting actress. She doesn't care much about popularity because she focuses on variety shows.

Of course, Chen Keke was very happy that the role became popular.

#When will Chen Keke play the female lead?

There was even a rather unique trending topic on Weibo.

One netizen compiled a list of how many supporting actress roles Chen Keke has played since her debut.

Given Chen Keke's status, playing a leading role would be a piece of cake for her.

Many netizens have urged President Chen to give Chen Keke a leading role.

Seeing this trending topic, Chen Keke was both amused and exasperated, realizing that she really didn't want to play the female lead.

However, Chen Keke still sent a screenshot of this trending topic to her older brother.

[Arrange it immediately!]

Chen Jingyuan replied directly and sent over a script.

At first, Chen Keke thought her brother had really arranged something for her.

Upon opening it, it turned out to be the script for a short film.

Even Chen Keke couldn't help but show a speechless expression.

A micro-movie is actually a short film, and its length may even be shorter than that of a short film.

Given Chen Keke's current status, a short film couldn't possibly afford her salary.

Of course, Chen Keke didn't really want the female lead role; she was just showing off her popularity to her brother.

Soon Chen Keke posted the conversation between the brother and sister on Weibo.

"I never expected someone like you, President Chen!"

'

"The female lead in the short film was definitely a bit of a sham."

"However, I reckon President Chen will still protect his younger sister."

"Playing the female lead brings more attention, but also a lot of pressure."

"Chen Keke is doing quite well now, and the second female lead is actually quite good too."

.....

Many netizens discussed it again, but their comments clearly showed that they could understand Chen Keke's intention not to play the female lead.

After all, Chen Keke's connections are pretty much an open secret!

This incident is just a minor episode in terms of the popularity of "The Story of Minglan".

As time went on, the popularity of "The Story of Minglan" continued to rise.

As for Chen Jingyuan, he needed to go to Yanjing because CCTV had taken a liking to "Blossoms".

This big-budget production, which tells the story of Shanghai in the 90s, has caught the attention of CCTV.

Tencent Penguin Pictures has collaborated with many TV stations before, such as the recent drama "The Story of Ming Lan" which aired on Hunan TV.

However, this was the first time Chen Jingyuan had contacted and cooperated with the central government, so naturally he took it very seriously.

The director in charge of procurement at the central bank is named Yu Guanghua, a middle-aged man in his early forties.

"Mr. Chen!"

Yu Guanghua was quite surprised to see Chen Jingyuan.

Chen Jingyuan's fame is already well-established, and there's no need for him to come to the procurement process.

Tencent Penguin Pictures has a dedicated team for this.

"Director Yu, we attach great importance to this purchase of penguins."

Chen Jingyuan spoke slowly with a smile on his face.

When both parties are willing, it is quite convenient to discuss "Blossoms".

Yu Guanghua's rank was not low, but unfortunately, he was not considered anything special in Yanjing.

Moreover, Chen Jingyuan's background is not bad, with a net worth of tens of billions plus his assets at Tencent.

Wherever we went, the officials treated us with great hospitality.

Attracting investment is still very important, especially for some non-coastal provinces.

The "Blossoms" project was finalized in just two days!

The broadcast and online release date is set for New Year's Day, making it a project to kick off the new year.

There are no problems on Tencent's side. The popularity of "The Story of Minglan" has been enough during this period, not to mention that there is another drama, "Ever Night," to follow.

With two big productions already made, there's no need to release another one to compete for attention.

Chen Jingyuan did not leave Yanjing immediately because he still had a mission to complete.

That is to examine the AI ​​research situation of many universities in Yenching University.

correct!

Chen Jingyuan's move can be seen as a precaution, as it wouldn't be appropriate for him to leave Tencent Pictures and go to any of the other departments.

Other departments are likely to see him as an adversary, which may make it difficult for them to carry out their work.

It would be better to establish a new company within the framework of Tencent!

AI is undoubtedly the mainstream of the future, coupled with Tencent's vast amount of data.

If you want to develop AI, then you undoubtedly need to visit various universities to find talent.

As early as the last century, there was already research on AI in China.

This could be considered a semi-startup, and Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but look a little helpless.

He really has some trauma from starting his own business, but this time the situation is indeed a bit different.

After all, Chen Jingyuan now has capital and the support of Tencent.

In addition, there are not many competitors in the AI ​​field at present, so success can be achieved almost effortlessly.

Most importantly, Chen Jingyuan could completely be a hands-off manager, only needing to check the progress.

He only needs to be in charge of the financial auditing!

It might even be much easier than when I was at Tencent Video, since AI research will take at least two or three years.

With the help of Tencent, the research might be able to proceed more quickly.

Although it was just a preliminary idea, Chen Jingyuan still needed to make preparations.

We can't wait until we actually leave Tencent Pictures to start making plans!
