Huayu: Rising from Tencent

Wang Churan's pleasant mood during the photoshoot vanished without a trace after learning about Zhang Ruonan's relationship with Shen Ci.

He boasted about his relationship with Shen Ci in front of Zhang Ruonan, only to find out that he was the complete clown!

Shen Ci actually took a liking to Zhang Ruonan?

When Zhang Ruonan said it, Wang Churan didn't believe it at all.

However, the respectful attitude of Li Xiaojiang, Lin Xin, and others towards Zhang Ruonan forced her to accept this reality.

This photoshoot was a first for Zhang Ruonan and Wang Churan, but fortunately, the photographer was extremely dedicated...

He would personally sit down to demonstrate and patiently guide the girls for each photo, and they quickly adapted to the shooting rhythm.

Wang Churan was the first to finish filming. Before leaving, Wang Haiyan led her to greet everyone in the crew one last time.

About half an hour after Wang Churan left, "Seven" also left the studio, led by Lin Xin.

When Zhang Ruonan returned to the hotel, Shen Ci had just finished get off work.

"Brother, today was hilarious!"

"When I told Wang Churan about our relationship, the kid's face showed about eight hundred different expressions."

Zhang Ruonan shared the story vividly.

She saw that Shen Ci was listening with great interest, and he became more and more enthusiastic as he described every detail with gestures.

After she finished speaking, Shen Ci picked her up in a princess carry and strode towards the bedroom.

The next day, Zhang Ruonan was sleeping soundly when Shen Ci woke up, looked at the sleeping Zhang Ruonan beside him, and kissed her on the cheek.

During this time, under Shen Ci's guidance, Zhang Ruonan became increasingly adept in bed.

Shen Ci's hoarding of IPs was no secret among the company's senior management.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 121999.com]

The IP addresses stored on the company's intranet are accessible to senior management.

Han Zijie paid special attention to this matter, and he was determined to make Tencent Penguin Pictures' first work a resounding success.

Recently, Han Zijie has been immersed in numerous IPs, and finally, he has set his sights on a very famous novel.

That is, *Zhu Xian*!!!

This novel has a large readership and was published long ago; it is also a fantasy novel.

With so many advantages combined, Han Zijie sees it as a project with enormous potential.

Han Zijie had the relevant information compiled, and then approached Shen Ci to explain his purpose.

"You want to make a film called 'Zhu Xian'?"

"I think this novel has a very bright future, and I want to make it Tencent Penguin Pictures' first project."

Shen Ci couldn't help but think of the TV series "The Legend of Chusen" starring Lu Han, Zhao Xiaodao, and Yang Zi.

Han Zijie further explained, "The lead actors can be the most popular celebrities, paired with actresses who have high national recognition."

"Has anyone been chosen yet?" Shen Ci's expression was slightly helpless.

"Yes," Han Zijie said, "Lu Han is currently very popular, and as for female stars, we'll choose from the '85 Flowers' (a group of actresses born in 1985).

Shen Ci was speechless. The timeline and cause-and-effect relationship were simply too outrageous.

"We should call a meeting with President Sun and the others to discuss this matter later," Shen Ci said after a moment's thought.

As soon as he said that, Han Zijie immediately sensed a hint of denial in his words.

"Mr. Shen, don't you think this project is promising?" Han Zijie asked, looking puzzled.

Shen Ci said earnestly:

"I have some long-term considerations regarding Tencent Penguin Pictures. I have a big plan in mind for self-produced projects that requires overall coordination."

Han Zijie was unwilling, but he couldn't say anything more. In fact, Shen Ci had rejected several of his projects.

He even considered going to pray to Buddha for some good luck.

In Shen Ci's memory, Tencent Video will invest heavily in film and television projects in the next two years.

But the effect is like "spending money like water".

Although Tencent is financially powerful and doesn't need the money, since Shen Ci has already taken this position...

He naturally didn't want to see the project lose money hand over fist, otherwise he would lose face.

The most typical example is "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

Despite being touted as a movie star descended to earth for the role, the result was disappointing, which Shen Ci considered a complete waste of resources.

Shen Ci plans to see a full-scale development of film and television projects next year, including modern idol dramas and the Mist Theater.

For projects like "The Long Journey" and "Love O2O," Shen Ci arranged for people to start preparing for them as soon as he joined the company.

As for Fairy Puppet, there are even more IPs to choose from.

Shen Ci harbored a rather radical plan, which he called the "December Plan".

That means Tencent will release a hit drama every month!!

Of course, it's too early to talk about this plan now; everything has to be done slowly and can't be rushed.

Speaking of which, just a week ago, Yu Zheng's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" officially premiered.

Shen Ci watched the show as soon as he was deeply impressed by Mao Xiaotong.

He lost interest after watching only one or two episodes.

Chen Xiao's portrayal of Yang Guo is indeed handsome, but his Xiaolongnu look is truly an eyesore.

After the show aired, netizens increasingly mocked the Little Dragon Girl's "steamed bun" look.

The number of users that "The Return of the Condor Heroes" brought to Tencent Video fell far short of initial expectations.

This result led Sun Huaizhong, Wang Juan, and other senior executives to gradually increase their attention to self-manufacturing projects.

Although the headquarters can withstand some losses, it would be extremely embarrassing to continue losing money like this.

Moreover, the fact that key positions within the company could be replaced by others at any time has created a sense of crisis among the video platform's executives.

Of course, "Crown Prince" Shen Ci is not included in this category.

In a residential area less than 15 kilometers away from Tencent Video, a heated argument is currently taking place.

After the old man discovered what was in Liu Shishi's bag, the two had already argued several times when they met.

He wanted to know who the man was, but Liu Shishi chose to remain silent.

This infuriated the old man. Damn it, so he's already taking sides?

Today, he couldn't resist going to Liu Shishi's house.

At this time, Liu Shishi's parents were at home.

The old man and Liu Shishi are now in a state of mutual benefit; Liu Shishi owns shares in the old man's company.

This complex situation cannot be resolved using the typical methods for handling conflicts between couples.

When the old man arrived, Mr. and Mrs. Liu learned about the matter.

Liu Shishi felt utterly humiliated in front of her parents, and covered her face, sitting there crying.

She hated the old man to the core, thinking he was utterly unreasonable and seriously ill!

Why are their parents being dragged into their own issues?

"You both know how I've treated you," the old man said to Mr. and Mrs. Liu with a bitter face.

Liu's parents' faces suddenly turned bright red, burning with pain. They never imagined that their daughter would do something like this.

"What were you thinking? We were almost at the point of success, how could you do something like this?"

Liu's father rushed up to Liu Shishi and began to berate her.

As Liu Shishi listened to the scolding, her crying grew even louder.

"Who exactly is that man?" Mr. Liu asked loudly, his eyes wide with anger.

Upon hearing this, the old man turned his gaze to Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi was upset by this series of events. She wiped away her tears and slowly lowered her hand.

"Didn't you want to know?"

Liu Shishi asked the old man, then stood up.

"Who is it? It's Shen Ci."

She knew she could no longer hide it; the secret she had always wanted to keep to herself was now being forced to be revealed.

Upon hearing the name, the old man seemed struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Mother Liu frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Who is Shen Ci? Shishi, what exactly is going on?"
