Chapter 90 Excitement, Attracting Investment
Chen Jingyuan of Tencent Building only expects "Unrequited Love: Orange Blossoms in Huainan" to be a moderate success, not as wildly popular as the previous two installments.
In comparison, "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" is more difficult to adapt.
Before my rebirth, "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" had been adapted several times, but the problem was that it was either critically acclaimed but not commercially successful, or commercially successful but not critically acclaimed.
He had naturally noticed this before and had the editor revise it several times.
Ultimately, a script that seemed better was chosen.
Of the trilogy, "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" had the longest preparation time.
"Successfully surpassed seven million in the first hour!"
"Previously, Tencent Video had been promoting the Zhenhua Trilogy concept."
"The popularity they've built up, plus the fame of the lead actor this time, and other factors."
Chen Jingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief; the goal had been achieved!
While it may not be as wildly popular as the previous two films, it should at least be a moderate hit.
Although there were some negative comments, it was generally acceptable.
Chen Jingyuan didn't forget to send his results to his mother, Liu Yulan, who had probably been waiting for them for a long time.
Upon receiving the data, Liu Yulan, who was far away in her hometown, couldn't help but smile.
She had already looked into it beforehand, and the data was already quite good.
"Secret Love: Orange Born in Huainan is a success."
Chen Keke, who had come over and seen the data, jumped up excitedly.
Chen Keke quickly sent the relevant data to the studio's chat group.
[Success! This number of views is already quite good.]
Compared to many online dramas, this is already quite good.
[Xiao Bai's popularity should be able to stabilize going forward.]
Jiang Qiumei sent several messages in a row, and Bai Lu, the female lead, was equally excited.
Bai Lu, who had just finished filming "Heart Signal" at a hotel in Shanghai, jumped for joy in her arms with her best friend He Handan.
"Popularity can be maintained, and it will definitely increase significantly."
Bai Lu spoke up, her words no longer as calm as before.
After experiencing the sweetness of fame through "Chinese Restaurant", she gained a deeper understanding of fame.
The amount of fame one has is directly related to their financial interests.
They definitely don't want "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" to fail.
"Bai Bai, you're amazing!"
He Handan exclaimed excitedly, "The better my best friend does, the better I can do."
Yu Chengtian Xiwei sent a congratulatory message in the chat group, her face showing considerable envy.
She had already learned about Bai Lu's experiences from Chen Keke.
She was just a small-time model before, but she gained considerable fame in less than six months.
"As soon as the college entrance examination is over, the studio will start arranging resources."
"I'm sure I'll become famous!"
Tian Xiwei couldn't help but feel hopeful about the future.
Over the next few days, the popularity of "Unrequited Love: Orange Blossoms in Huainan" remained relatively good.
Although it wasn't as popular as the previous two installments, it was still considered a success compared to many other web series.
For many people, it can be considered a masterpiece.
The project "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan" has come to an end.
Chen Jingyuan gathered many members of Tianhe Studio to start a new round of project arrangements.
"Mr. Chen, please make the arrangements."
We've rested enough.
Liu Yang and the others all looked eager and impatient.
After a period of rest, Liu Yang and the others should be in good spirits tomorrow.
Chen Jingyuan quickly distributed all the prepared documents.
The first project is "The Innocent Witness," an adaptation of Zi Jinchen's detective novel.
Furthermore, they previously acquired the rights to three novels in one go: "The Innocent Witness," "The Bad Kids," and "The Long Night."
The two parts of "Rebirth" were adapted into "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth".
The adaptations of all three novels were hugely successful, so Chen Jingyuan naturally wouldn't let them go.
The second project is "A Love So Beautiful," a youth campus drama.
The show "Rebirth" has garnered over 40 billion views, and the third project, "The Eternal Love," has maintained high popularity even after three seasons.
The first season alone garnered over 45 billion views, a truly remarkable achievement.
The key point is that the investment is no more than 100 million yuan, which is considered a medium-low cost period drama series.
Although it didn't have the same high production costs as "Goodbye My Princess," it was just right for Bai Lu, who already had some fame.
It will take at least a month to get the project started!
By then, Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei will have just finished their college entrance exams, and the second project is prepared for them.
The female lead and the second female lead happen to be best friends, so they can just play themselves.
The studio is currently divided into four groups. Liu Yang and Huang Yuanming were originally in the same group.
However, after the new members joined, a new group was formed with Liu Yang as the group leader.
The first project was given to Huang Yuanming's team, since they were already very familiar with crime investigation themes.
The second project was given to Liu Yang's group. The youth campus theme is the type that Tianhe Studio has worked on the most and is the easiest to handle.
As for the final project, it was handed over to Wang Tingting's group, who had learned a lot from the previous "East Palace" group.
Jiang Qiaodan's group is also responsible for coordinating with Hunan TV on "Back to Field".
This includes the second half of the year for shows like "Chinese Restaurant" and the new season of "Go Fighting!"
The fourth season of "Go Fighting!" has finished filming and is scheduled to be released after the college entrance examination.
Although Tianhe Studio did not participate in the filming of "Fighter of the Destiny", it did not care.
Even if "Fighter of the Destiny" is successful, so what? So many people participated, and the staff bonuses are still unknown.
On the contrary, if you honestly produce Tianhe Studio's own projects, you can definitely earn a lot of bonuses.
Over the past two years, Liu Yang and other members of the first batch of studio staff have been earning bonuses left and right.
"Everything is arranged. You can go and get ready."
"Meeting adjourned!"
Chen Jingyuan easily resolved the issue in less than half an hour during the meeting.
"Yes, Mr. Chen!"
"Yes, Mr. Chen!"
Many members of Tianhe Studio were already used to President Chen's pace and commented one after another.
President Chen has always been decisive and efficient, and given that Tianhe Studio has achieved good results, there is naturally no need to put pressure on him.
Just as Chen Jingyuan was about to leave work early, since he planned to return to Hengdian for a few days the next day anyway.
After the college entrance examination, I will meet up with my mother, Chen Keke, and others.
But just then, a WeChat call from Xiao Meng rang out abruptly.
Normally, during the daytime working hours, Xiao Meng doesn't make phone calls; she usually sends text messages.
Meng Ziyi is very sensible in this regard; she must have something to say if she's making a phone call now.
"Ziyi, what's wrong?!"
After answering the call, Chen Jingyuan took the initiative to ask a question.
"Brother Jingyuan, there is such a thing."
"Director Zhang contacted me today to ask for your contact information."
Meng Ziyi quickly explained the whole story.
It turned out that Director Zhang Hui had a project he wanted to recommend to him, which was basically an attempt to attract investment.
The most crucial project is called "The Wandering Earth"!
Even Chen Jingyuan was a little surprised; he initially thought it was a TV series or web series.
It turned out to be a movie, but finding him was probably a last resort.
"The Wandering Earth" is a science fiction film, and there was no precedent for a successful hard science fiction heavy industry film before it.
The market outlook is unclear, and the technological barriers are considered insurmountable!
Director Guo Fan faced immense difficulties securing funding and was on the verge of failure, but unexpectedly, he found him.
"I don't think this project is very reliable."
"I think it's best not to invest."
While Chen Jingyuan was pondering, Meng Ziyi muttered to herself, "This sci-fi movie doesn't seem reliable at all."
"I'm going to Yanjing tomorrow."
"The project isn't urgent, I'm just here to visit you."
Chen Jingyuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Meng Ziyi.
"Really?!"
Meng Ziyi's voice became surprised and delighted.
I originally thought that Chen Jingyuan's next visit to Yanjing might be during the filming of "Back to Field".
I never expected it to come so suddenly.
The two chatted for a while longer, and after hanging up the phone, Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but start thinking.
"The Wandering Earth" definitely needs investment; if we don't offer timely help now, when will we?
Director Guo Fan's previous youth film, "My Old Classmate," grossed over 4 million yuan, so he shouldn't lack investment.
The problem is that "The Wandering Earth" does seem a bit of a disappointment at this point.
He originally planned to go to Hengdian, and had his assistant Qiao Yujie buy him a plane ticket to Yanjing.
The next day, when Chen Jingyuan walked out of the passage, he saw Meng Ziyi waiting for him, wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, and a crossbody bag.
"Brother Jingyuan!"
When Meng Ziyi saw Chen Jingyuan, her eyes lit up and she immediately gave him a hug.
The handsome man and beautiful woman attracted a lot of attention, and Chen Jingyuan quickly pulled Meng Ziyi away.
The two went directly to a hotel near the Beijing Film Academy!
"Send a message to Director Zhang to see if he's free this afternoon."
"I would like to meet director Guo Fan."
Chen Jingyuan took the lead in getting down to business, and although Meng Ziyi looked somewhat reluctant, she still helped send the message.
Meng Ziyi mainly believes that projects that no one invests in are definitely not good projects.
Zhang Hui and Guo Fan from Beijing Film Academy have a good relationship, somewhat like friends despite their age difference, since Guo Fan is also a graduate of Beijing Film Academy.
Although he wasn't a directing or cinematography major, it didn't stop him from pursuing a career as a director.
During a previous gathering, Guo Fan inevitably complained about the difficulties in securing investment for "The Wandering Earth".
Guo Fan began preparing for the adaptation of the script, the construction of the world view, the concept design and the dynamic rehearsal of "The Wandering Earth" in 15.
It can be said that a lot of effort has been put into it, and once preparations are almost complete, it's time to consider how to attract investment.
After searching for many investors but being rejected, Zhang Hui suddenly thought of Chen Jingyuan, the former head of Tianhe Studio and now Penguin Pictures.
I'd like to ask on Guo Fan's behalf if it's possible to attract some investment first.
Only after securing at least some investment can one then persuade others to invest more.
"Ziyi, is President Chen in Yanjing?!"
"Are you free this afternoon? No problem, I'll accept on Guo Fan's behalf."
Zhang Hui looked somewhat surprised when he received the call from Meng Ziyi.
I contacted Chen Jingyuan through Meng Ziyi before, and I didn't expect it to actually work.
And at such a fast pace, could it be that President Chen is either in Yanjing or on his way to Yanjing?
Without much thought, Zhang Hui quickly contacted Guo Fan, who happened to be in Yanjing.
"I will be there on time!"
Guo Fan was very surprised when he received Zhang Hui's call, and after learning what had happened, he quickly spoke up.
He never expected that Director Zhang would help him attract investment.
The vice president of Tencent Penguin Pictures, I wonder if he can attract some investment.
For Guo Fan, no opportunity is too good to miss.
