Huayu: Rising from Tencent

"Mr. Shen, I've already sent someone to look into the movie 'Diamond Lover' that you mentioned before."

"The cast has been confirmed. Although filming has not yet started, judging from the current cast, it has the potential to be a hit."

After saying this, Wang Juan praised him lavishly: "Your vision is truly exceptional!"

On the plane, Shen Ci was flipping through a magazine when he heard Wang Juan's voice. He closed the magazine and looked at the other person.

"You've already decided it'll be a hit before it's even been filmed?"

Wang Juan quickly explained, "Tang Yan paired with Rain, these kinds of Sino-Korean co-productions usually have a very good market response."

With the Korean wave currently at its peak, Korean celebrities are making a fortune in China.

"I also have plans to capitalize on the popularity of Sino-Korean co-productions and make a big splash!" Wang Juan added enthusiastically.

Shen Ci disagreed, stating bluntly:

"Just acquire the online streaming rights for 'Diamond Lover.' A Sino-Korean co-production is a mess and useless."

After saying that, he continued flipping through the magazine. The article about Sister Eight Hundred Million in the magazine made Shen Ci feel a little dazed.

These celebrities who were implicated in scandals are still active in the public eye unscathed.

Wang Juan smiled awkwardly, realizing that Shen Ci wasn't interested in the Korean Wave model, and quickly changed the subject:

"With the current popularity of 'Ancient Sword,' I think Mr. Shen might consider producing more fantasy idol dramas like this."

"Yes," Shen Ci replied, "Fantasy idol dramas are indeed an important direction for our future development."

Just as Wang Juan was about to delve deeper into this topic, a flight attendant slowly pushed a food cart through the aisle.

She had no choice but to keep quiet for the time being.

Shen Ci simply asked for a glass of water, took a few sips, lowered the back of his chair, and prepared to take a nap.

I'm a bit tired after fighting so much last night.

In Shen Ci's plan, fantasy idol dramas occupy a significant portion.

In the future, the user base of video websites, especially those who watch dramas, will mostly be women.

He plans to first create several hit fantasy dramas.

Subsequently, following the established template, we adopted an industrialized production and manufacturing (CP) approach.

Right now, the most important thing is to seize the user market.

Success is achieved if users feel that Tencent Video's dramas are better than those of kiwifruit and pants.

"Has the funding for 'The Romance of Tiger and Rose' been allocated yet?" Shen Ci suddenly thought of this before going to sleep.

Wang Juan was swallowing his food when he quickly replied:

"It's already been approved. It will be transferred to the designated account in the next couple of days, a total of ten million."

"That's too much," Shen Ci shook his head and said, "Around eight million would be enough."

"Okay," Wang Juan replied immediately. "I'll talk to my people later and have them revise the plan."

"Hmm." Shen Ci responded, then closed his eyes again, preparing to rest for a while.

The budget for "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" is around seven or eight million.

Sun Huaizhong was worried that Shen Ci wouldn't have enough funds, so he insisted on adding an extra two million.

Several senior executives of the company were not optimistic about "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" and thought it would not be a hit.

They thought that as long as Shen Ci had fun, that was all that mattered.

If the project fails, Sun Huaizhong and others believe that Shen Ci can learn a lesson from it and remember it better.

The sugar company in Shanghai attached great importance to Wang Juan's visit to discuss cooperation.

Cai Yinong called Liu Shishi, who had just finished filming, to the company.

Liu Shishi originally planned to travel with Grandpa Wu, but in the end she had no choice but to bring Grandpa Wu along to the sugar figurine shop.

Grandpa Wu looked reluctant, but upon seeing Cai Yinong, he said half-jokingly:

"K-sister, you've interrupted our time together!"

Cai Yinong wore a smile, but she really couldn't bring herself to like Grandpa Wu.

Especially since Liu Shishi is about to leave the sugar figurine business and join Grandpa Wu's newly opened scarecrow company!

If it weren't for Liu Shishi's sake, she wouldn't have bothered with Grandpa Wu.

"With copyright fees in the tens of millions, how could I not value it!" Cai Yinong responded.

Liu Shishi quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "It's only a one-day delay."

"I want to stay with you a little longer," Grandpa Wu said, looking at Liu Shishi with deep affection.

Cai Yinong felt her eyes burning with embarrassment, but fortunately, at that moment, an employee came to inform her that the people from Tencent had arrived at the company.

Liu Shishi then went with Cai Yinong to greet them, while Grandpa Wu turned and went to the restroom.

As people age, their kidney function declines, and frequent trips to the toilet become common.

While Mr. Wu was relieving himself, he suddenly heard a noise next to him. He turned his head and saw a handsome young man.

Shen Ci had already recognized Grandpa Wu, but he only glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

"You're a newcomer? When did Cai Yinong sign you?"

Grandpa Wu noticed Shen Ci's gaze, which seemed to ignore him, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Shen Ci glanced at it again, then looked away and continued with his own business.

"How rude! What kind of taste does Cai Yinong have these days!" Grandpa Wu muttered under his breath as he walked away, cursing.

In the conference room, Wang Juan was exchanging pleasantries with Cai Yinong and Liu Shishi.

"Nazar is also at the company, would you like to meet him, Mr. Wang?" Cai Yinong said.

Wang Juan replied, "There will be an opportunity in the future."

Cai Yinong stopped mentioning the matter.

With Liu Shishi about to leave, Nazha naturally becomes the company's new top star, whom she is heavily promoting.

So whenever she had the chance, she would bring Naza to connect with people, hoping to secure more projects for her.

"Then let's talk..." Cai Yinong had only spoken halfway when the office door was suddenly pushed open and Grandpa Wu walked in.

"Mr. Cai, isn't this new employee incredibly rude?"

As soon as Grandpa Wu came in, he complained, "I tried to strike up a conversation with him in the restroom, and he rolled his eyes at me. What kind of person is he?!"

Cai Yinong looked completely bewildered, while Liu Shishi quickly grabbed Grandpa Wu's arm and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I ran into that kid in the restroom..."

As Grandpa Wu was speaking, the office door opened again, and Shen Ci walked in.

Liu Shishi and Cai Yinong both looked over instinctively, and Grandpa Wu even pointed directly at Shen Ci.

"That's him. Mr. Cai, you'll have to give your company's newcomer a good training."

Cai Yinong was speechless; she didn't know Shen Ci at all!

Liu Shishi stared at Shen Ci for a long time, but still couldn't recognize him as any of the new employees in the company.

Wang Juan was truly on the verge of tears. Just now, Grandpa Wu had been complaining in the restroom about someone being rude...

She had a bad feeling, and now her premonition has come true.

"President Shen, you've arrived." Without saying a word, Wang Juan quickly stood up and respectfully greeted Shen Ci.

Grandpa Wu's expression froze instantly, and Liu Shishi beside him couldn't help but show a hint of worry in her eyes.

Cai Yinong reacted quickly, walking straight to Shen Ci's side with a smile and extending her hand, saying, "Hello, Mr. Shen!"

Shen Ci didn't reach out in response, but simply said, "Why are there unrelated people here when we're discussing the contract for 'The Imperial Doctress'?"

"This..." Cai Yinong glanced at Grandpa Wu, unsure how to explain.

She was also frustrated, as she had no idea who Shen Ci was!

Wang Juan walked up to Cai Yinong and said seriously, "If your company isn't sincere, then our trip has been in vain."

Cai Yinong really wanted to curse him out, but looking at Grandpa Wu's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, she held back.

Liu Shishi nudged Grandpa Wu, signaling him to leave first.

Grandpa Wu glanced at Liu Shishi, suppressed his anger, and turned to leave the meeting room.

"I'm so sorry!" Cai Yinong quickly apologized to Shen Ci and Wang Juan after seeing Grandpa Wu leave.

Wang Juan did not respond, but looked at Shen Ci with a questioning look in his eyes.

Shen Ci slightly raised his chin, gesturing towards the desk. Wang Juan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Cai, let's talk about the contract," Wang Juan said.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, Mr. Shen, please have a seat."

Things finally got back on track. Cai Yinong thought to herself, "That old man, Grandpa Wu, is really a troublemaker."

Liu Shishi also sat down, her seemingly lifeless eyes glancing at Shen Ci from time to time.

She was filled with curiosity and wanted to find out his identity.

Mr. Wu's rudeness just now must have angered President Shen, and Liu Shishi is worried that something might happen.

Shen Ci noticed Liu Shishi's gaze and looked over.

Liu Shishi quickly looked away, pretending to listen attentively to Cai Yinong and Wang Juan's conversation.

Shen Ci thought to herself, this person really is as "blind" as her eyes.

Celebrities are just commodities; no matter how popular they are, their essence remains unchanged.

Shen Ci dismissed Grandpa Wu's arrogant attitude in the restroom as nothing more than a barking dog.

But what Shen Ci had just witnessed in the conference room made him feel that Grandpa Wu was a barking dog.

This dog is really annoying if it's not disciplined.

A celebrity actually dared to put on airs in front of him...

To put it simply, in Shen Ci's mind, Grandpa Wu had already found a "way to die".
