Chapter 18 wraps up filming, new variety show
Chapter 18 wraps up filming, new variety show
After gossiping about Wen Zhang's affairs, Chen Jingyuan's attention turned to the film crew.
It's not that I'm worried about the production crew or need to keep a close eye on them.
It's just that I'm a little curious about filming and stuff.
"Geng Geng Yu Huai!"
Chen Jingyuan murmured the name of the main character in the drama.
There's nothing melodramatic about it, nothing like car accidents or amnesia.
It's just a simple story about youth.
Such stories still resonate with many people.
This drama is hailed as the pinnacle of domestic youth dramas.
The show garnered over 20 billion views across the internet in the year it aired!
This data is quite exaggerated, but consider that it's only 14 years ago.
Even if it only gets half the viewership, it's still a top-tier web series.
This is enough to bring enormous power and members to Tencent Video.
Perhaps because of the success of the "Heart Signal" project, Tencent's membership system has begun to change.
It's no longer limited to Hollywood members, but includes much more content.
The changes brought about by Chen Jingyuan continue to unfold.
In theory, Chen Jingyuan did set up his own company to film and then sell the videos to Tencent Video.
The problem is that there would be too much to do that way.
Without the Tencent Video brand, both recruiting and selling the platform would be troublesome.
It's impossible to know how much effort this will require.
Having experienced the failure of his previous business ventures before his rebirth, Chen Jingyuan had absolutely no such idea.
Investing in Ning Wang is enough for him to achieve financial freedom; even if he runs a successful company, his net worth will only increase by a few more figures.
It's not so bad now, though!
He's a producer in name only, but in reality, he's inconsistent in his work.
The thing Chen Jingyuan did most on set was to fish in a nearby stream.
I occasionally browse Weibo and check the stock market.
The three million yuan plus the salary from Tencent were all invested in a stock that Chen Jingyuan remembered had performed well this year.
His account currently holds 514 million.
Once the World Cup arrives, Chen Jingyuan plans to make another profit, aiming for around ten million.
There was no way around it; even someone like him who doesn't watch football knew about the Samba team's crushing defeat.
You don't need to bet on such extreme scores; just bet on a goal difference greater than a certain number.
He had never even considered winning hundreds of millions in the lottery.
Especially the kind of betting from overseas is even more unrealistic.
Do you really think that winning that much money will result in surviving?! It's like they're treating betting companies like charities.
Are there few people who go missing or die abroad? In the face of money, life is still somewhat insignificant.
Moreover, Chen Jingyuan didn't want to win too much and gain too much exposure; he was content with just taking a small share.
These few years will be enough to live on, and things will take off when Ningwang goes public in 18.
"Brother Chen, are we really okay if we don't keep an eye on the film crew?!"
Liu Yang, who was fishing with Chen Jingyuan, couldn't help but show a nervous expression.
I thought this person would be extremely busy since becoming an assistant.
The result seems to be a little different from what I imagined; it was a publicly funded trip with food and drinks.
Although some things were done, it didn't take much effort.
This kind of life is indeed very enjoyable; I can relax every day and still get a salary. The problem is that I feel a little uneasy inside.
"Don't force yourself to suffer if it's not painful!"
"We should trust the professionalism of Director Liu and others."
"We're not from drama school, how can our filming skills be better than those with professional training?!"
Chen Jingyuan glanced at Liu Yang and slowly spoke.
There are some things that require delegation; interfering haphazardly can cause problems.
Liu Yang was slightly taken aback, but thankfully he came to his senses.
That's absolutely true!
That topic was never brought up again.
Before we knew it, filming was coming to an end; the production was much faster than we had imagined.
The filming took approximately fifty days in total.
"The best of us, in our final scene!"
Filming has officially wrapped!
...
Liu Chang's voice was broadcast throughout the entire film set via loudspeaker.
Instantly, all the actors' faces lit up with excitement.
Wrap party
"Mr. Chen, thank you for casting this role!"
Zhu Yilong and Tan Songyun finally exchanged a few words with Chen Jingyuan.
Previously, Chen Jingyuan was the kind of person who would appear and disappear mysteriously on set.
Even when he came to the film crew to express his gratitude, he encountered Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao taking over Chen Jingyuan.
This resulted in the male and female leads, who were actually the producers, never having any interaction.
However, their gratitude goes without saying.
These are the male and female leads; both of them previously played supporting roles.
With the addition of the Tencent Video platform, it might actually become a huge hit.
"We'll set aside some time for promotion when it airs."
Chen Jingyuan raised his glass and said, "Drink it all in one gulp."
Besides the male and female leads, Meng Ziyi and Chen Yao are of course indispensable.
These two are now quite familiar with Chen Jingyuan.
I know Chen Jingyuan is actually quite easy to get along with!
"Jingyuan, thank you too."
Meng Ziyi pulled Chen Yao over to offer a toast.
Compared to the beginning, Meng Ziyi and Chen Jingyuan are now more familiar with each other.
Perhaps this is due to differences in personality.
"Drink less alcohol!"
Chen Jingyuan nodded, drank another glass, and gave a brief reminder.
After the wrap party, Chen Jingyuan needed to return to Pengcheng.
As for Meng Ziyi and the others, they returned to Yanjing with the majority of the group.
Upon returning to Shenzhen, Chen Jingyuan immediately went to work.
After being away from home for so long, I definitely need to report back on the situation.
As for the editing, the first episode should be available soon.
We should be able to see some results by then.
Tencent Video President's Office
"Mr. Sun, filming for 'The Best of Us' is complete."
"The first episode will be edited out in a few days. If there are no problems, we can start promoting it."
Chen Jingyuan reported on the progress of the project.
"Xiao Chen, I have complete confidence in your ability to handle things."
"But perhaps we could first consider how to make a second season of 'Heart Signal' work?!"
Sun Zhonghuai nodded and spoke up.
He values the second season of Heart Signal more than the unknown success of his self-produced drama.
After all, they had already proven themselves in the first season, and even before the second season was planned, many GG merchants had already come to inquire.
It's safe to say that the second season of Heart Signal will definitely be profitable; the only question is how much.
"Mr. Sun, I can help with the planning of the second season."
"However, I do not plan to be in charge of the preparation and filming of the second season."
"I'm planning to launch a new variety show, and I need your support!"
...
After thinking for a moment, Chen Jingyuan slowly spoke.
It wasn't a whim of his to start another variety show.
Instead, I had this idea beforehand; I figured I'd just be a director eventually.
It doesn't require much effort!
"Wait until the results of 'The Best of Us' come out. Also, please write the proposal for the second season of 'Heart Signal' first."
Sun Zhonghuai hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Since Chen Jingyuan needs his support, the investment costs are bound to be substantial.
In addition, Chen Jingyuan's intentions were very clear: he planned to take charge of this variety show and even gave up his heart signal.
If Chen Jingyuan wants to convince others, he still needs to achieve some results.
