Chapter 389 Chen Jincheng openly embraces both sides!
Chen Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. He hadn't thought of "Raging Storm" before, but now that he saw that Sister Hehe had won over Gao Qiqiang and his sister, he was determined to make this drama.
"Raging Storm" was definitely a groundbreaking drama from a previous era.
If there were many groundbreaking blockbuster dramas in the film and television industry from 2010 to 2018, then there is absolutely only one from 2018 to 2025: "Raging Storm".
Even the highly touted "Joy of Life 1," with an average of 100 million RMB per episode, only barely reaches half of "The Storm."
Rumors suggest that this single drama brought iQiyi 50 billion yuan in revenue. Since it was an iQiyi self-produced drama, all the revenue went to iQiyi. This directly led to an increase of 2500 million new iQiyi members, bringing the total number of new members to 1.5 million for the first time, allowing iQiyi to surpass Tencent Video again.
Therefore, this drama is definitely not to be missed.
However, there are many restrictions on filming TV series on this subject. In my previous life, due to many reasons, it was almost impossible to film it.
This issue needs to be resolved.
He immediately thought of the central government.
After "China in Classical Texts" collaborates with them, we can get CCTV to invest in it.
After all, the central bank also needs to achieve some results.
The prerequisite is that he must have the ability to convince CCTV in the field of film and television.
Therefore, this time we need to give iQiyi and Tencent Video a good run for their money.
Honestly, Sister Hehe suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
Seeing that he had hung up the phone, she excitedly hugged his arm: "Chen Jincheng, you're so great."
"How am I so great?" Chen Jincheng joked.
"Hmph!" Sister Hehe snorted at him, then turned to Long Ni and said, "Let me tell you, although Chen Jincheng is a bit of a womanizer, he's a really good person. He's devoted to you and will never ask for anything in return."
“Just like now, even though I did something wrong and used his name to deceive people outside, he still didn’t blame me. Instead, he immediately covered for me. He’s definitely going to give Zhang Songwen a big production for ‘Raging Storm’. He’s helping me fulfill my promise.”
"Seriously, a man like him is really fascinating and likable, even without a confirmed relationship."
"Aside from being a womanizer, he has many good qualities."
Long Ni was naturally aware of Mr. Chen's online reputation. According to her boss, he was truly excellent. So why was her boss telling her to do this?
It feels weird.
I'm so envious of Zhang Songwen; he'll soon be starring in a big-budget production.
If this show becomes a hit, the other person will have made it big.
I don't know if she'll have a chance to participate in this film, "The Storm".
Chen Jincheng had lunch with Hehe and Ximeng, and then received a notification from Daylight Entertainment that the premiere would start at 2:30 pm.
While resting at the hotel, he received a call from Sun Ji, who delivered surprising news: "Boss, our people have investigated, and there's no novel called 'Raging Storm' at all. Could it be under a different name?"
Chen Jincheng was taken aback when he heard this.
There's none?
He really didn't know that, and he didn't know if the novel hadn't been written yet, or if there was simply no such novel in this world.
In that case, if they want to film "The Storm," wouldn't he have to find the script himself?
Fortunately, in his previous life, this was the only drama he watched from beginning to end.
With an additional 400 points to modify his body, giving him the physical limits of a human, his memory will also be enhanced, so he should be able to be transferred over.
Even if I don't remember some details, as long as the overall theme remains the same, there shouldn't be any problem in making improvements and additions.
Moreover, many people said that in the previous life, "The Storm" was filmed too subtly and restrained in many places. If CCTV could be involved in the collaboration, there would be fewer concerns in this regard.
The central bank will handle it.
It takes a lot of time and effort to transfer this information, write it into a script, and then transfer it over.
In the afternoon, as 2:30 p.m. approached, the premiere of "All Is Well" was very lively, with reporters of all ages and bloggers from Douyin News Media all arriving.
After all, today's premiere is no less than a small film festival, not only because it's a big event, but also because many celebrities have been invited.
Many reporters have already been taking pictures of the celebrities walking on the red carpet.
A burst of excited cheers erupted at that moment, as a heavyweight star appeared.
Hu Geqian, who played the lead role in "Nirvana in Fire," is a male celebrity with more male fans than female fans, and reporters' attention was immediately drawn to him.
After that, several more celebrities walked the red carpet; all of them had worked with Daylight Entertainment.
Just then, someone suddenly shouted, "Chen Jincheng is here!"
All the reporters turned to look.
The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly enthusiastic, far exceeding even the level of Hu Geqian's earlier enthusiasm.
Is Chen Jincheng, an internet celebrity, treated better than top-tier celebrities?
Indeed.
Moreover, no one really considers Chen Jincheng a mere internet celebrity anymore.
Even if he's an internet celebrity, he's a big shot with substantial capital. At least in the internet celebrity and film and television circles, he can be considered a big shot.
After Chan Kam-ching walked onto the red carpet, all the reporters frantically took pictures of him. He was seen with his left arm around a beautiful woman in a black bodycon secretary outfit, while his right arm was held by a beautiful woman in a white halter-neck elegant dress.
A beautiful woman wearing a gauze dress and short skirt followed behind.
This is blatantly having women on both sides!
It's becoming less and less surprising to see Chan Kam-ching walking the red carpet with beautiful women around him.
It would be strange if Chen Jincheng didn't have beautiful women around him one day.
What attracted them, however, was the beautiful woman in the elegant white dress.
The woman in the black secretary outfit, Xi Meng, is Cheng's prostitute. The beautiful woman in the short skirt and gauze dress behind her is Chen Jincheng's top female friend. This is no secret, and reporters who have followed and studied Chen Jincheng are all aware of it.
But I've never seen that elegant woman in the white dress before.
Now that Chen Jincheng is leading her down the red carpet, the reporters' gazes towards her have become somewhat ambiguous.
Is this a new Cheng Girl?
If nothing had happened between her and Chan Kam-ching, why would Chan Kam-ching bring her to the red carpet for no reason?
Long Ni clearly noticed that everyone around her seemed to be looking at her.
She was actually a little embarrassed.
This was the first time she had received so much attention.
Chen Jincheng led the three girls to the signature wall, where staff immediately handed them pens. He signed his name on the wall right away and then handed the pen to Ximeng and the others.
The three girls were quite excited.
This was Ximeng and Sister Hehe's first time experiencing a red carpet autograph session in the entertainment industry, and it was a unique experience for them.
Although Long Ni has been in the industry for a long time, the minor roles she played in the past never gave her the opportunity to be invited to participate in such events.
After signing their names, Chen Jincheng and his group followed the signs and entered the inner area.
This press conference wasn't a formal film festival, so there were no assigned seats at the venue. Instead, the invited guests were given designated areas.
Many celebrities bring their own entourages, and they arrange their own seating in this area. When Chan Kam-ching arrived, he also sat down with three girls.
Many celebrities looked in his direction, clearly very curious.
After all, it's strange that an internet celebrity has risen to this level in such a short time, now even being associated with big names in the film and television industry and potentially influencing their future.
However, everyone knew that this was someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Think of Luo Xiaozhu, who was slaughtered as a warning to others, and whose body was still warm before it was even cold. Now the news is all over the industry that he offended Chen Jincheng and got himself into trouble with him. This time, he can't escape being blacklisted.
As soon as Long Ni sat down, she was surprised to pick up her phone and start looking at it.
Because she discovered that her Douyin account had gained a lot more followers, many people were leaving comments in the comment section of her old videos:
"Beautiful lady, are you a New Cheng Girl?"
"Cheng has a really good eye; the Cheng Girls selected by Yanxuan never disappoint their fans in terms of looks."
"Come and see the newly minted Cheng Girl."
"..."
She guessed what had happened; the photos of her walking the red carpet must have been posted online, and these people saw them and then searched for her.
But the speed is too fast!
She then followed Chen Jincheng inside and sat down.
When she opened Douyin, she also found that "Chen Jincheng and the New Cheng Girl" had already made it onto the trending list.
Everyone treated her as a "Cheng Girl" (a term referring to actresses who have worked with celebrities).
This made her open her mouth, and she subconsciously glanced at Chen Jincheng, her heart pounding inexplicably.
She wasn't a "Cheng Girl," but she'd heard that all those "Cheng Girls" had special relationships with him—that was just too much...
Do people online now think she's like that too?
But inexplicably, the words her boss had used to praise the other person resurfaced in her mind.
This startled her so much that she quickly banished these thoughts from her mind.
What are you thinking?
"Mr. Chen, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." A respectful voice rang out in front of Chen Jincheng.
He looked up and saw a guy with a somewhat smug smile; it was none other than Guo Jingfei.
Honestly, I used to think he looked really smug when I saw him laugh in videos, and now that I see him in person, I think he looks even more smug. So, he's really perfect for playing a smug character like Su Mingcheng.
He's quite a unique actor in the entertainment industry; there's really no one else of his type who can compete with him.
Chen Chichi and Xiao Yang are also cheeky, but in a different way.
"Hello." Chen Jincheng smiled and shook hands with the other person.
Guo Jingfei quickly said, "Mr. Chen, I apologize for disturbing you. I came to express my gratitude. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have suddenly gained so much popularity online today."
He was well aware of this, so he felt it was necessary to express his gratitude.
"It's nothing." Chen Jincheng shook his head with a smile, and added, "But you did a great job in 'All Is Well,' you'll become famous."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Guo Jingfei quickly thanked him again, and then asked somewhat awkwardly, "Can we add each other on WeChat? I hope we can cooperate in the future."
“Okay, no problem.” Chen Jincheng nodded with a smile and added the other party’s contact information.
Guo Jingfei was also very sensible; after exchanging contact information, he left without lingering.
Soon enough, another familiar person came up to Chen Jincheng and greeted him with a smile: "Old Cheng, we meet again."
"Old Xue, what brings you here?" Chen Jincheng was a little surprised. It seemed that the other party had no collaboration with Daylight Entertainment.
Xue Qian also brought someone with him, and introduced him at this time: "Old Cheng, Director Lu and I came. He came on behalf of Sujiang TV Station. 'All Is Well' is premiering on their TV station tonight."
"Director Lu, hello." Chen Jincheng understood now and shook hands with the other party, but this seemed to have nothing to do with Xue Qian's presence here.
Director Lu seemed to sense his confusion and explained, "Mr. Chen, the reason Xue Qian came here is because I invited him to come along, and he wanted to introduce you to me."
Xue Qian also smiled and said, "Old Cheng, do you remember when Producer Hu from Sujiang TV invited you to perform a show at Sujiang TV's New Year's Eve Gala (Chapter 252)?"
"I remember now." Chen Jincheng nodded. He had only verbally agreed before, but now that he thought about it, there were only ten days left in 18, and the New Year's Eve celebrations were just around the corner.
Xue Qian said with a smile, "Director Lu is also the director in charge of this New Year's Eve gala, and he personally contacted you about this matter."
Director Lu also said, "Yes, I was afraid it would be presumptuous to come to their door so I asked Teacher Xue to introduce us. We would like to invite Teacher Chen to perform a program on stage."
Producer Hu had mentioned this before, but no one took it seriously. Although it's common for TV stations to invite internet celebrities for their New Year's Eve galas, internet celebrities are still just internet celebrities.
But things are different now. This person is no longer just an internet celebrity; she has almost become synonymous with popularity. Recently, she has been the one generating the most buzz on Douyin.
Given that the other party has a lot of fans now, inviting them to perform on stage could attract a lot of attention.
Since Chen Jincheng had already agreed to this, he did not refuse and signed an electronic contract with the other party for the performance.
When he gets back, he needs to think about what kind of show to perform. It will be his first time performing at a New Year's Eve gala, and he's also thinking of bringing a few of the girls around him to show off.
However, the program cannot be too simple; it must be something that surprises and impresses the audience.
By the time the conversation between the two parties ended, the premiere had already begun. The host invited the director, lead actors, and other cast members to the stage for the premiere ceremony.
The entire premiere was naturally a discussion of their filming process and their understanding of the characters.
Finally, the host said with a smile, "Everyone knows that our show is very popular online right now, and this success is definitely thanks to one person. Everyone knows who I am, right?"
The reporters below have already started shouting:
"Chen Jincheng!"
"Chen Jincheng!"
"..."
The host smiled and invited, "Next, we would like to invite Mr. Chen Jincheng from Ershixingchen Film and Television to the stage."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jincheng took Ximeng's hand with one hand and reached out his other hand to hold Hehe's hand. Since he had brought his girlfriends along, he naturally wanted to show them off.
By the way, let me promote Ximeng's new secretary outfit and also promote Sister Hehe's film and television company, since she has already signed Kuangbiao Brothers.
He really went to great lengths.
But Sister Hehe grabbed Long Ni's hand and placed it in his palm.
Chen Jincheng stared straight at her, but she gave him a half-smile.
Long Ni blushed immediately. This was different from walking the red carpet earlier. Now, being led up by Chen Jincheng, given Chen Jincheng's reputation online, people would really think there was something between her and Chen Jincheng. Even if she explained, no one would believe her, right?
"What are you standing there for? Go up there, I'm giving you a chance to become famous." Sister Hehe looked at the dazed Long Ni and patted her butt impatiently.
Long Ni knew that going on stage with Chen Jincheng might lead to rumors and gossip, but seeing so many reporters present, she realized it was indeed an opportunity to become famous. She bit her lip and was led up by Chen Jincheng.
