Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Even before filming for "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" was completed, the post-production team had already begun their work.

Shen Ciding's story is scheduled to launch in December, so the timeframe is very tight.

Editing, dubbing, music composition, and many other aspects all require polishing, and every step, from editing to final proofreading, cannot be taken lightly.

For more than a month, the post-production staff have been working day and night, toiling like oxen and horses.

However, no one complained, as the project offered very generous compensation.

The finished product that Lin Xin brought this time was the first three episodes.

Shen Ci even asked Lin Xin to bring a chair so they could sit next to each other and watch together, so they could exchange opinions at any time.

The series opens with a fast-paced plot, starting with a scene of a bride being kidnapped.

Naza, dressed in a bright and beautiful bright red ancient costume, rode on horseback, her eyebrows and eyes exuding arrogance.

The red color made her skin appear even whiter than snow, almost glowing, and her features were even more striking.

The female lead snatches the male lead away on the street and takes him back to her mansion, whereupon a series of unexpected interactions unfold.

The pacing of the first three episodes was very well controlled.

Each episode features several emotional climaxes, and the distribution of jokes is well-balanced and dense enough.

After watching it, Shen Ci asked, "How did you feel?"

"It's pretty good, lots of funny moments, Naza is really beautiful, and the male lead is quite handsome too..."

Halfway through her sentence, Lin Xin quickly changed her words:

"No, the male lead is alright too, but compared to you, you're definitely more handsome."

Shen Ci felt somewhat helpless. Was he being petty?

He continued, "What's wrong with it?"

Lin Xin frankly stated, "The costumes and sets look somewhat cheap overall."

"Fortunately, the plot is very exciting, which can largely cover up these shortcomings."

"Mr. Shen, I believe this project will definitely succeed!"

After speaking the truth, Lin Xin felt a little uneasy, praying that her words would not displease Shen Ci.

Shen Ci nodded after listening to Lin Xin's words.

"That's true. In the future, Tencent's projects must pay more attention to costumes and makeup."

He thought of Yu Zheng, whom he had met before.

Yu Zheng is a man who is usually sarcastic and unpleasant; his character is really not good.

Shen Ci had heard something.

In order to deny his previous promises and statements, Yu Zheng swore an oath to the heavens, cursing himself and his family to be hit by a car and die.

Later, someone couldn't stand it anymore and kindly reminded him.

Yu Zheng then retorted, "Anyway, it's Yu Zheng who's being cursed, while he himself is Yu Zheng..."

Although Yu Zheng is not a likable person, he is indeed willing to put a lot of effort into the makeup and costumes for the project.

Shen Ci quite agreed with this point.

Of course, small projects are another matter; it's already good enough if they can be filmed successfully.

"Mr. Shen, I have a suggestion." Lin Xin raised her hand and looked at Shen Ci, who seemed to be deep in thought.

"Go ahead," Shen Ci said, having never seen her like this before.

"From now on, we can create a dedicated exhibition hall for the costumes from every hit drama we produce and display them to the public!!"

After Lin Xin finished speaking, seeing a hint of attraction in Shen Ci's eyes, she pressed her advantage and continued:

"In this way, outsiders can directly understand our achievements and also know your contributions!"

"Your idea is good." Shen Ci nodded, secretly considering the feasibility of the suggestion.

He is not someone who is ambitious or seeks spectacle.

Creating a showroom can serve as a form of publicity, allowing more people to understand the strength of Tencent Video.

More importantly, it can also enhance brand image and have a positive impact on the company's long-term development.

"I was just mentioning it casually, I don't know if it's a good idea or not."

Lin Xin was very modest, and taking this opportunity, she continued, "Mr. Shen, may I ask for a few days off?"

Shen Ci raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is something wrong at home?"

"No," Lin Xin quickly waved her hand, "My family has arranged a blind date for me..."

Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh. He patted Lin Xin on the back and said in a relaxed tone, "Go ahead."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen," Lin Xin said gratefully.

Shen Ci looked at Lin Xin with great interest and said, "If it works out, remember to buy wedding candy."

Lin Xin felt a little embarrassed by these words, but she still nodded in agreement with Shen Ci.

After the matter was discussed, Lin Xin stood up.

She put the chair back in its original position, bowed respectfully to Shen Ci, and then turned and left the office.

Shen Ci looked at the tablet on his desk, picked it up, and prepared to send the finished video to Nazha.

Considering the large file size, he did not choose to transfer the entire file, but instead transferred the first episode first.

The network was a bit unreliable, and the transmission process was quite slow. It took a long time for one episode to be successfully sent.

Shen Ci left a message for Nazha, instructing her to read it carefully after receiving the message and to offer her feedback.

While she was asked to offer her opinions, Shen Ci secretly harbored a desire to show off.

He wanted to show Naza that he hadn't lied to her.

Although this project is small in scale, the storyline is captivating, and it definitely has the potential to be a hit!

Naza's message didn't arrive until after he got off work, so she called Shen Ci directly.

"I've finished watching it, it's really great!!"

"My husband wasn't lying to me after all!!"

Then came another sweet word, instantly boosting Shen Ci's emotional value.

"That's good. It will be launched next month," Shen Ci said calmly.

Naza said sweetly, "I know, honey, I miss you so much, I want to kiss you, I want to..."

This coquettish and ambiguous behavior piqued Shen Ci's interest, and he started chatting with her.

The conversation lasted for more than two hours, until Naza said she was going to take a shower, and then the two hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Ci couldn't stop; he had to call his younger sister, Zhang Ruonan.

Naza watched the first episode of "The Romance of Tiger and Rose" carefully.

She genuinely loved the show and was completely immersed in it.

After taking a shower, she sent the TV series to Cai Yinong.

Naza also wanted to show off a little, to let Cai Yinong know that although the project was not large in scale, it was of excellent quality.

To put it bluntly, he wanted Cai Yinong to know that Shen Ci wouldn't cheat or deceive her.

She no longer harbors the initial belief that Shen Ci was lying to her!

Cai Yinong only saw the news when she woke up the next day.

Upon seeing the video, she sat on the edge of the bed and watched it eagerly without even brushing her teeth.

After reading it, she believed that this project could really become a dark horse.

"Well, the company will do some promotion before it goes live. What did Shen Ci say? How much promotion is going on?"

Cai Yinong sent a voice message to Nazha, and after finishing that, she started rambling on about other things.

"Running Man is so popular right now. Look at Baby, you should talk to Shen Ci and try to get yourself a regular on Go Fighting!"

"Also, Tencent Video is making a lot of moves lately. Could you help mentor your two junior female students, Chen Yao and Jin Chen..."

When Naza woke up and heard these voice messages, he was speechless!

What junior sister? And you want me to take care of her?

Damn it, I'm a newbie too, I've only been in the industry for a little over three years.

Asking her to get projects for Chen Yao and Jin Chen from Shen Ci? That's insane! She absolutely refuses!

Naza replied perfunctorily, "Sister K, I know~"

This brief reply made Cai Yinong a little unhappy. Oh well, she still had to call Shen Ci herself.
