Chapter 49 Chen Wu, Appreciation
After finishing the casting for "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming", Chen Jingyuan basically handed over the work to Liu Yang and his colleague.
Even when the film crew started shooting, I didn't go there, not because I didn't value it, but because I delegated authority.
Next, I returned to work with Wu Jinyuan on the preparations for the "East Palace" project.
This time, due to the numerous preparations for "Goodbye My Princess," even Chen Jingyuan couldn't relax as much as before.
"There are just too many things I need to buy."
"Especially since we need to travel to several different locations, we need to prepare in advance."
...
Fortunately, Chen Jingyuan had been busy before and was adept at handling these matters.
This left Wang Tingting and the others somewhat taken aback.
Previously, they thought that Director Chen might not be good at coordination.
It turns out the Joker was actually himself!?
However, while Chen Jingyuan was busy with the "East Palace" project team...
The call from General Manager Sun surprised Chen Jingyuan a bit.
Under normal circumstances, Mr. Sun wouldn't suddenly make a phone call.
"Xiao Chen, someone wants to see you right now."
"They're both in Yanjing, I'll give you the address."
"Don't ask who it is; it's just a good thing."
...
The words Mr. Sun spoke over the phone made Chen Jingyuan look puzzled.
Someone wants to see me, who is it?!
Most importantly, it was a good thing, which completely confused him.
He trusted Sun Zhonghuai completely, so he put down what he was doing, hailed a taxi, and went to that address.
Judging from the address, it should be a high-end club in Yanjing.
The environment here is very quiet. It is not easy to build such a club in Yanjing, where land is extremely valuable.
"Welcome, sir!"
"I wonder if you have a membership card or if you came by invitation."
...
A young and beautiful waitress approached Chen Jingyuan and spoke respectfully.
"Room 303, invited!"
Chen Jingyuan spoke simply, his mind still a little foggy.
"There is an inviter in room 303."
"Sir, please!"
After confirming the details, the waiter led Chen Jingyuan into a passageway constructed of granite.
The surface is also carved with murals, the natural textures exuding luxury.
If it were before his rebirth, Chen Jingyuan might not have had much confidence.
Her expression remained relatively calm, her attention focused more on the person she was seeing.
They quickly entered room 303 and immediately saw a figure.
"Chen Wu!?"
"President Chen!?"
...
Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
He did recognize the man; it was Chen Wu, the vice president of Tencent.
Now responsible for branding, marketing, and copyright business within Tencent Interactive Entertainment Group.
The only thing I didn't expect was that this person would ask to meet me.
And it happened so suddenly!
"Director Chen, this is our first meeting."
"But I've heard about you quite a few times before this."
"Maybe we were one family five hundred years ago."
...
Chen Wu stood up and extended a hand to greet Chen Jingyuan.
Chen Jingyuan understood and the two shook hands briefly. Chen Jingyuan was then pulled by Chen Wu to sit on the sofa.
"I've seen your previous presentation on the food delivery strategy in the investment department."
"I also think the same applies to shared bicycles."
"Especially since the projects you've worked on since joining Tencent Video have been very successful."
...
Chen Wu spoke slowly, his words filled with emotion.
Chen Jingyuan's discerning eye speaks for itself!
Basically, both the judgments made and the projects invested in were successful.
If one success is luck, then two or three successes are not the same.
He's definitely a talent!
After agreeing to a collaboration, he contacted Lao Sun to discuss further cooperation.
As they chatted, Chen Wu brought up Chen Jingyuan, clearly indicating his intention to poach him from another company.
Unfortunately, Lao Sun firmly disagreed, as this was a capable lieutenant he had managed to persuade Li Minghui to give him.
Fortunately, it's always worth a talk; at least Chen Wu is quite interested in knowing Chen Jingyuan's views on the film and television industry.
Chen Wu didn't forget to explain the purpose of the invitation.
There was nothing to hide, which surprised Chen Jingyuan.
I didn't expect that Chen Wu, the group's vice president, would pay so much attention to me.
"How about we talk about the state of the film and television industry?"
Chen Jingyuan's face fell into deep thought.
Next, Chen Wu will be in charge of the film and television sector and will establish Tencent Pictures.
Similarly, Tencent Video will also establish Tencent Pictures, but the content they are responsible for will differ.
Tencent Pictures focuses on IP as the core of its full-industry development, with Chen Wu personally serving as its president.
On the contrary, Tencent Pictures is an ecosystem built on Tencent Video.
There is still a lot of overlap in their businesses, but the parent group seems to be happy to see some competition and cooperation.
"I think the future development of the film and television industry will likely focus on comedies and serious dramas."
"This includes some currently popular themes and even animation; these are all themes that have the potential to be box office hits."
"We can see this from the movies that have grossed over a billion yuan in recent years."
...
Chen Jingyuan spoke slowly, without hiding anything.
Faced with Chen Jingyuan's insights, Chen Wu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"I've recently become interested in two projects!"
"The first one is 'Goodbye Mr. Loser'."
"Tencent Video has previously invested in this subject matter."
"And then there's 'Detective Chinatown,' which hasn't even been officially approved yet!"
...
Chen Jingchuan then added:
Tencent Video did indeed invest in "Goodbye Mr. Loser," and its subsidiary, Xinli Media, which holds a majority stake in the film, also has a stake in it.
In a sense, "Goodbye Mr. Loser" was also invested in by its own people.
However, this investment was not my responsibility, and it had nothing to do with me.
Previously, Chen Jingchuan focused more on web dramas and variety shows.
As for the investment department, someone else is in charge!
"Comedy certainly has the potential to become a huge hit."
Chen Wu nodded and spoke up.
He then raised some questions, such as about the box office performance driven by popular celebrities.
In other words, the fan economy!
Chen Jingyuan still has a lot of say in this regard.
He knows that in today's era of internet traffic, the fan economy is doing well and has produced many profitable films.
However, its reputation is far from good.
"Honestly, I really want to get a reward for digging this out of Lao Sun."
Chen Wu spoke with a sincere expression.
"I still prefer to stay on Penguin Video."
Chen Jingyuan raised a glass to thank Chen Wu for his appreciation.
He didn't pay much attention to this vice president.
Putting aside the fact that he could leave Tencent at any time without any problem.
With this mindset, even if you were to encounter Little Ma, it would probably be pretty much the same.
There's absolutely no panic or tension!
Moreover, he is quite happy at Tencent Video these days.
