Starting from joining Tencent Video

Chapter 132 Taking the Blame, Feeling Uneasy

Let reading always be a chapter faster than others.

Penguin Tower

[Congratulations, Mr. Chen!]

[Congratulations to Mr. Chen on becoming the President of Tencent Penguin Pictures!]

[Dude, did you already know about the promotion?]

...

Chen Jingyuan looked at the 99+ messages that appeared on WeChat without the slightest surprise.

Once Tencent Video releases its announcement, it's impossible to keep it a secret any longer.

Seeing these congratulatory messages is not surprising.

Chen Jingyuan glanced at the messages and found that almost everyone had sent one, except for Meng Ziyi, who might not know.

Even my mom sent me a message, not to mention Chen Keke's message.

He did not answer his sister's question.

Although he knew he had been promoted, he had no intention of making a fuss about it.

Chen Jingyuan also noticed the trending topics and even read many netizens' comments.

It's a bit funny to see people making such speculations about his conversation with Pony Ma at the company's annual meeting, and even making such assertions.

Little Ma didn't mention his promotion back then!

However, I learned from Mr. Sun that his appointment as president of Tencent Pictures was indeed supported by Pony Ma.

Chen Jingyuan replied to some messages from a few close friends and family members, but not the other actors.

Also, I definitely need to reply to messages from Chen Wu.

Although it's a bit like treating people differently based on their status, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Chen Jingyuan has contacted at least a hundred actors he knows.

Not to mention directors and crew members, such as former assistant directors and executive directors, who will definitely need to be added as well.

On average, a film crew has at least a dozen ways to contact each other.

After replying to the message, Chen Jingyuan checked the projects that Tencent Video would broadcast in the past two months.

After becoming president of Tencent Penguin Pictures, Chen Jingyuan was in no hurry to take action.

Instead, he planned to learn more about Tencent Penguin Pictures first, especially since he wouldn't forget that Tencent Penguin Pictures actually had to cooperate with Tencent Penguin Video.

The two companies are essentially one entity, and this won't change just because Chen Jingyuan becomes the president.

"The Roast Show performed well when it aired in January."

"The Glory of Tang Dynasty was broadcast during the Chinese New Year, and its viewership ratings are quite good."

"There's also a show called 'Country Love March,' which garnered over 600 million views in its first week of airing."

...

Chen Jingyuan looked at some projects, some of which were invested in by Tencent Penguin Pictures.

For example, "Roast Conference" will naturally be exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video.

Also, the content was purchased and broadcast by Tencent Video itself, which has nothing to do with Tencent Pictures.

For example, "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" was produced by Huanrui, and "Country Love March" was produced by Zhao Benshan's company.

However, a new series called "Mythical Beast Mahjong Parlor" is about to air!

It's about Tencent Penguin Pictures' involvement in the investment; this isn't a project of Tianhe Studio.

This project was handled by another studio of Tencent Penguin Pictures, and even Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it.

He had never heard of this show; it was clearly destined to flop.

"I've just become the CEO, and I'm already taking the blame."

Chen Jingyuan murmured softly that the responsibility for the project's failure should not actually be attributed to him.

The problem is that he is now the president of Tencent Pictures, so he has no choice but to take on this responsibility.

About to set a record, Chen Jingyuan's first failed project.

It was a bit unfair, but fortunately, I didn't dwell on it.

So what if we fail!

It's too conspicuous to be 100% infallible; it's better to fail a little.

At least Chen Jingyuan could accept it; he didn't care what was being recorded.

It's like a bad start to the year!

Fortunately, just a few days after this drama aired, the broadcast time for "A Love So Beautiful" arrived.

In this film, Xiao Tian plays the lead role and Chen Keke plays the second female lead, which Chen Jingyuan clearly values ​​highly.

"The Eternal Love" will begin its promotion after "A Love So Beautiful" airs.

The broadcast date may need to be postponed until April!

Chen Jingyuan felt that this timing was acceptable, as it coincided with the release of "Hello Mr. Billionaire".

Bai Lu has a good chance of experiencing a surge in popularity and becoming a top-tier actress.

At least she's no longer considered a newcomer!

This step is still very important for the White Dew season.

Of course, this is also crucial for Lanco Studio, as it allows them to gain recognition and no longer be as unknown as before.

After reviewing the arrangements for previous projects, Chen Jingyuan has decided to make adjustments to the staff of Tencent Penguin Pictures.

The idea of ​​splitting up Tianhe Studio started last year, but I didn't expect him to become the president of Tencent Pictures this year.

It's perfect to split up the other studios now.

Chen Jingyuan had discussed this matter with Sun Zhonghuai beforehand, and there were absolutely no problems.

"You are the president of Tencent Penguin Pictures."

"I support your decision to make changes to the studio if you think it would be beneficial for Tencent Penguin Pictures."

...

Sun Zhonghuai simply washed his hands of the matter and didn't care about it.

He could still see through Chen Jingyuan's intentions; splitting up Tianhe Studio would still benefit the employees of other studios at Tencent Pictures.

Although some studios have achieved some success, they are far behind Tianhe Studio.

Chen Jingyuan's gaze fell on the other studios of Tencent Pictures and the list in front of him.

They started recruiting one studio manager after another.

I had no prior contact with them; I only heard their general assessment from Sun Zhonghuai.

We need to get to know them in more detail and consider their past project performance. If they really have the ability, Chen Jingyuan won't suppress them.

Chen Jingyuan summoned one Penguin Pictures employee after another.

Many Tencent Pictures employees are not fools; they can tell that President Chen is bound to make some moves.

"It seems that Mr. Chen is going to make some adjustments to the studio."

"Some studios that haven't achieved much in the past may be split up."

"A new broom sweeps clean, and maybe we'll have a chance to join Tianhe Studio."

...

The entire Tencent Pictures team inevitably started discussing it.

Of course, many people were still a little uneasy, especially some who had been just coasting along.

It's possible that the staff at Tianhe Studio were busy with their own projects and weren't affected too much.

However, Liu Yang, Wang Tingting, and others still received a lot of inquiries.

The problem is that Liu Yang and the others genuinely didn't know what President Chen was thinking.

Perhaps only Qiao Yujie, as the assistant, knows a little bit of the inside story.

In a short period of time, Qiao Yujie, the assistant, has become a hot commodity, with everyone wanting to get information from her.

"My colleagues are so enthusiastic!"

Qiao Yujie felt that was the case, but he wasn't stupid and understood the reason.

If it weren't for the position of president's assistant, how could he have such good interpersonal relationships?

After thinking it over, Qiao Yujie decided to keep quiet. No CEO wants their assistant to be a blabbermouth.

His appointment as assistant involved a lot of luck, but even more so, it was due to President Chen's support.

I don't want to cause President Chen to replace me because of some rumors.
