Huayu: Rising from Tencent

The four models proposed by Shen Ci were unanimously approved at the high-level meeting the following day, without any suspense.

After the meeting, Sun Huaizhong reported it to OMG. During the report, he emphasized that the model originated from Shen Ci.

Implementing such a significant decision is not something that can be done overnight. The company is large, and the various processes are cumbersome.

Based on experience, it will take at least two or three months to implement.

Shen Ci wasn't in a hurry; he was focused on a new project that he had inadvertently recalled.

This project is similar to "The Romance of Tiger and Rose," both belonging to the low-cost, high-return type.

It originates from the novel "The Chef Fang with a Pot in the Flower Garden"!

This project can be considered a pioneering work in the genre of ancient-style fantasy romance dramas, and its prospects are very promising.

Both "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" and "The Flower in the Garden" are small-scale productions, but if they achieve outstanding results after release...

This will powerfully demonstrate your vision and ability to those within the company who are skeptical.

Once successful, when undertaking other tasks in the future, his colleagues will naturally be convinced of his abilities.

Shen Ci always exuded an air of pride that refused to admit defeat.

"This is also a novel. You should acquire the copyright as soon as possible and have Li Eryun take charge of following up on this matter."

Shen Ci handed the compiled materials on "The Flower and the Pot" to Lin Xin, reminding her to act quickly.

A sense of doubt arose in Lin Xin's heart. She really couldn't understand this aloof and powerful President Shen...

Why do they favor these female-oriented novels so much, and why are they always able to discover promising projects from them?

"Is the development progress the same as 'The Romance of Tiger and Rose'?" Lin Xin keenly grasped the key question and asked.

Shen Ci nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"That's right, so we need to act quickly. Go find Li Eryun now and explain things clearly."

"Okay." Lin Xin, clutching the documents, asked one last time before leaving, "President Shen, when will filming begin?"

"December ago," Shen Ci replied succinctly.

He plans to go back to Shenzhen to try and secure funding for this project, bypassing Tencent Video's existing funding channels.

Now that the third quarter is halfway over, Tencent Video's cash reserves are running low.

If the funds he needs are all allocated internally, it will inevitably squeeze out some projects that have already been planned.

After receiving the order, Lin Xin immediately found Li Eryun and conveyed Shen Ci's words to her verbatim.

Li Eryun searched for information about the novel on his computer, glanced through it briefly, and couldn't help but sigh:

"How does Mr. Shen know so many novels like this...?"

Lin Xin smiled slightly but did not answer.

"Eh," Li Eryun realized that she had spoken somewhat recklessly and felt a little embarrassed.

She looked at Lin Xin and quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Secretary Lin, would you be interested in having dinner together after get off work?"

"Okay!" Lin Xin readily agreed. Since starting work here, she has rarely had the opportunity to go out and relax.

After a moment's thought, Li Eryun said, "Then let's have Japanese food. I'll treat Secretary Lin to a good meal."

Lin Xin glanced at Li Eryun and said, "Okay, but I'll have to treat you next time."

"Don't be so formal," Li Eryun said, patting Lin Xin's arm, trying to get closer to her.

Lin Xin replied earnestly, "It's necessary, otherwise I'll feel guilty."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Li Eryun didn't dare to say anything more, fearing it would backfire.

As for Shen Ci, after confirming her plan to return to Shenzhen...

After carefully reviewing my schedule, I finally decided to travel on the 16th.

He called Brother Ma, who, upon hearing the news, expressed his desire to meet Shen Ci as well.

Little Ma told him to come directly to the company headquarters after arriving in Shenzhen, and then they could go back together for a casual meal.

After making the call, Shen Ci received a message from Nazha.

"I've arrived in Beijing. Does Mr. Shen remember anything?"

Shen Ci looked at the message and called Nazha back. Once the call connected, he asked directly:

When will the filming begin?

Naza replied with a grin, "Tomorrow."

"Then I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow," Shen Ci said.

"Sure," Naza agreed, then added in a low, teasing tone, "Would President Shen like to come to the event?"

Shen Ci rolled her eyes and said, "No, I have other things to do. You should get some rest."

"Alright, alright, go ahead and get busy," Naza said.

Actually, she was just mentioning it casually; whether Shen Ci came or not didn't really matter to her.

In this production crew, she is the most famous actress, and whether or not Shen Ci supports her has little impact on the filming.

But if it were a large film crew, Nazha would definitely hope that Shen Ci could come, so that others would know that he has someone backing him.

This will reduce some trouble during the filming process.

The main creators of "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" were all shocked when they learned that the female lead was Naza.

The production team speculated that Nazar's participation must have been due to a deal between Sugar Man and Tencent Video.

Otherwise, why would Naza have taken on such a role?

The photoshoot for this magazine was held in a studio at the Chaoyang Gaobei Cultural Park.

Naza rested at the hotel for one night, and the next morning, she went to the filming location with her agent and assistant.

Upon arrival, Cha Chuanyi personally went out to greet him, showering him with compliments.

"Teacher, Deng Lun has arrived. Shall we have him come over and say hello to you?"

"No need, let's start filming."

Naza wasn't interested in this at all; in her eyes, Deng Lun was just an unknown actor.

She just wanted to finish filming as soon as possible and leave this place, and even hoped that the crew could wrap up filming within a month.

In the studio, Naza had a separate dressing room, while the other actors were all crammed into one room.

After changing into her costume, Naza came out of the dressing room.

She lowered her head, carefully examining her clothes, her expression gradually turning grim.

This is a red outfit, made of a fabric that looks like a mosquito net—thin, cheap, and of poor quality, with an glaringly high saturation.

"Just hang in there for two months, don't overthink it."

The executive agent was also quite dissatisfied with the costumes and props used by the production team, but at this point, all she could do was comfort Nazar.

"It's nothing," Naza replied stubbornly, then walked to the vanity mirror and sat down.

The makeup artist and stylist immediately began working together.

With her eyes closed, Na Zha's thoughts had already drifted far away, and she was secretly blaming Shen Ci in her heart.

Although I've forgiven him, the thought of wearing these clothes and facing the film crew's rudimentary set...

She couldn't help but complain a bit!

An hour later, the makeup and styling were complete. Naza got up, walked out of the dressing room, and prepared to head to the filming location.

At this point, all the main actors in the studio were in place.

Upon seeing Na Zha emerge, both male and female actors stepped forward to greet her.

"Hello, Teacher Naza, I am..."

"Hello, Teacher Nazar"

"Teacher Naza, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Nazaqiang roused himself and responded to everyone's greetings, but a hint of absent-mindedness was in his eyes.

When Gong Yuhan saw Nazha, she pulled Deng Lun along and went up to greet him.

Naza glanced at Deng Lun and said, "Hello."

Before Deng Lun could speak, Gong Yuhan said with a smile, "Please take good care of me during the filming."

"It's fine."

Naza gave a perfunctory reply, then glanced at the photographer not far away, and made an excuse to leave.

"I'll go talk to the photographer about the shooting details first."

Gong Yuhan didn't know what else to say, so she stepped aside to make way, and Nazha quickly walked over.

"This guy is too arrogant," Deng Lun muttered to himself, watching Na Zha's retreating figure.

"Shut your mouth!" Gong Yuhan glared at Deng Lun and snapped, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Deng Lun smiled awkwardly and said, "I know."

In this poster shoot, Nazha unsurprisingly took center stage, and she also had the most individual posters shot.

After the group poster shoot was completed, the individual photo shoot for Naza began.

Naza was quite professional; during the filming, she didn't throw a tantrum but cooperated very well.

After shooting for about half an hour, the photographer finally put away his camera, his face full of flattery.

"Teacher Naza, you are so professional!!"

"Thank you," Naza replied politely, then asked his assistant to check the photos before turning and returning to the lounge.

Back in the lounge, Naza collapsed into a chair with a huge sigh of relief.

"I'm starving! What are we going to eat?"

After saying that, she subconsciously picked up her phone to check the messages.

Just then, a message caught his eye, causing Naza to sit up straight instantly.

The message was sent by Shen Ci, and it was very simple.

"After the shoot, I was outside the studio."

"Go eat fire..." The executive agent had only uttered three words when Nazar interrupted him.

"You guys go ahead and eat." Naza smiled and waved her phone at her manager, saying, "Shen Ci is here."
