Chapter 493 has a title: "Kun Ge's Suffering"!
Chapter 493 There's a show called "Kun Ge's Ordeal"!
"Mr. Chen, the financing has been successful, and we're just waiting to announce it. When do you plan to release the news?"
After Lei Xiaojun got Chen Jincheng into the car, he asked him questions.
Chen Jincheng said with a smile, "No rush. I'll release the songs about my deceased wife's memories first when I get back. The popularity of this series of songs is growing day by day, and they're all building up popularity for Douyin. Kuaishou will get more and more anxious."
"If we release this news later, they will be even more eager to come to us, and it will be easier to negotiate financing with Kuaishou."
The news of this round of financing was released in Lei Xiaojun's live stream to attract the attention of Kuaishou (a popular online community for investors).
Kuaishou should already be paying attention to the financing situation of Ershixingchen.
All that buildup was to tell Chopsticks that he's rich now, and the only way to poach him is to make him one of their own.
This song, a memoir of his deceased wife, is released daily, and its ever-increasing popularity is constantly stirring the heart of the listener.
Therefore, when he announced the successful financing of Second Star, that's when Kuaishou came knocking on his door.
Back at the rice group, after parting ways with Lei Xiaojun, Chen Jincheng also returned to Sister Hehe's villa.
Upon seeing her and Long Ni, he said, "I've already booked my tickets back to Linhai City for tomorrow afternoon, so you can still enjoy yourselves tonight. I think you should go buy some super sexy clothes this afternoon."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will fight you tonight until dawn. I need enough temptations."
Hehe understood what he meant perfectly, and pulled Longni out the door. When they arrived at the clothing mall, they started browsing through the trendy clothing stores.
Long Ni was embarrassed the whole time. Being treated as a gift was bad enough, but now she had to buy herself this embarrassing packaging.
For some reason, she felt a sense of anticipation, so during the shopping trip, she even offered Hehe advice on what styles to wear to achieve the best seductive effect.
At night, they stood coquettishly in front of Chen Jincheng, wearing extremely sexy clothes—the kind with very little fabric, thin fabric, and extremely cheap workmanship.
Even after Chen Jincheng unpacked the package, he saw an item with three straps.
That really spurred him on.
It was a pleasant night; the different equipment had different allure, and he truly experienced the joy of changing the packaging.
The only consequence was that he almost missed his appointment with the central government the next day.
He hurriedly got up when he saw that it was almost time.
Sister Hehe said with some regret, "Chen Jincheng, I can't go to the central government with you. I have business scheduled today, so I'll have Long Ni go with you."
“Okay!” Long Ni nodded obediently.
She still somewhat wants to go to the central government.
Many male and female celebrities in the industry probably want to appear on CCTV's programs, but not everyone is qualified to do so.
Therefore, she was happy to accompany Chen Jincheng to make an appearance.
The Central Bank is located at No. 32, East Third Ring Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing.
Even before the car arrived, you could see the iconic "big pants" logo from afar.
Chen Jincheng got out of the car and led Long Ni inside.
However, both of them behaved very properly. Even though their relationship had deepened, they dared not show any intimacy in a place like CCTV.
Chen Yu had already arranged for people to wait.
As the director of CCTV, he wields immense power. The person who arranged the reception was extremely respectful upon Chen Jincheng's arrival: "Professor Chen, we've been waiting for you for a long time. I'll take you to the filming studio of 'China in Classics,' where Director Chen is waiting for you."
"Okay, please lead the way." Chen Jincheng nodded and led Long Ni and the other person inside.
Before long, we arrived at a very large filming studio.
Inside, the building was meticulously decorated as a retro architectural scene, and you could see many actors dressed in soldier armor practicing their movements on the stage.
There were also two actors acting opposite each other, delivering their lines with powerful and resonant voices.
Upon seeing the two men and hearing the phrase "sworn brothers," Chen Jincheng knew which segment of "China in Classics" was being filmed today.
It is the story of Wu Zixu performed by Wu Zhengyu and Wu Yue.
Director Chen followed the plan exactly, and all the actors were chosen according to his name.
The actor he named was naturally one who had performed exceptionally well in the previous version.
Moreover, the two actors' performances were truly astonishing. Even Chen Jincheng, who was watching on set, couldn't help but admire them. The photographers around them were also very dedicated, determined to capture every single detail of their brilliant acting.
"Mr. Chen, you've finally arrived." Chen Yu stood up from the director's platform to greet him warmly.
Although he was the director, he had risen through the ranks from being a director. After seeing this plan, he decided to direct it himself because it was so excellent and insightful, perfectly aligning with the document's theme of promoting traditional culture. He certainly couldn't share this easy credit with anyone else.
"Director Chen, it's nice to see you again." Chen Jincheng smiled and shook hands with the other party.
Chen Yu also noticed Long Ni beside him and asked with a smile, "Mr. Chen, who is this beautiful lady?"
Chen Jincheng introduced her, saying, "She is Long Ni, a talented actress and a very good friend of mine. She has been treating me to all kinds of hospitality in Beijing these past two days. Today, I asked her to come with me because I don't know the way."
Long Ni scoffed inwardly at the phrase "giving it her all." They really did give it their all; in the end, they were all beaten to a pulp until they were too exhausted to move.
Chen Yu revealed a hint of ambiguity. Everyone knew who this Mr. Chen was. If the two of them had no relationship, he would chop off his head and use it as a chamber pot for the other party.
However, upon hearing that the other party was an actress, he extended an invitation: "Ms. Long Ni, besides a variety show, I'm also starting a drama series. I wonder if you would be interested in playing a role?"
Clearly, he was giving Chen Jincheng face, and he knew very well that if he did, Chen would repay him when the opportunity arose.
"Ah!" Long Ni exclaimed in surprise.
She never expected that accompanying Chen Jincheng to CCTV would lead to her getting a role in a CCTV drama, and that she wouldn't even need to audition before being cast.
This was completely different from what she had experienced before.
The power of capital truly captivated her.
"Aren't you going to thank Director Chen yet?" Chen Jincheng reminded him.
"Thank you, Director Chen," Long Ni quickly replied.
Chen Yu nodded, and seeing that the performance on stage had stopped, he smiled and called Wu Zhengyu and Wu Yue over. The first person to notice Chen Jincheng was Wu Zhengyu.
They were genuinely amazed to participate in this variety show. The show is sure to have high viewership ratings. It's not only entertaining, but it also helps people understand classical texts and gain a more intuitive understanding of the meaning of the stories within them.
Therefore, he also learned that this program was planned by this Mr. Chen.
"Teacher Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you." Wu Yue addressed him directly as "teacher," her obsequious manner even more pronounced.
There's nothing he can do; he's the kind of artist with limited resources. Given the opportunity to meet the owner of a film and television platform, he naturally has to try to curry favor with them. That's just how the entertainment industry works.
"Teacher Wu Yue, it's a pleasure to meet you too." Chen Jincheng shook hands with her immediately.
"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you," Wu Zhengyu said with the same enthusiasm.
Hong Kong artists now rely on the mainland market for their livelihood, so they need to have a good understanding of things in the mainland. He is well aware of Mr. Chen's influence, and if he can get in touch with him, it will definitely be very beneficial.
Upon seeing Wu Zhengyu, Chen Jincheng suddenly said, "Mr. Wu, seeing you has suddenly given me a idea for a variety show. I wonder if you would be interested in participating?"
Honestly, there was a variety show he watched before his previous life that he genuinely thought was pretty good.
That variety show also has another name: Wu Zhengyu's Ordeal, which is really entertaining.
Ershixingchen Film and Television Network now accepts all popular variety shows, so we can repost them again.
Wu Zhengyu was full of surprise. He hadn't expected that Mr. Chen would extend such an invitation so soon after their meeting.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, since we've already collaborated on 'China in Classical Texts,' how about we collaborate a second time?"
Let's grab it first and talk about it later.
He now has great faith in Chen Jincheng's planning abilities.
“Okay, Director Chen has the final say.” Chen Jincheng readily agreed, as it would be best if someone could help film the variety show.
Moreover, with CCTV filming on their side, many issues can be resolved more smoothly, which is beneficial, and he is happy to see this.
Seeing that he had agreed, Chen Yu smiled and asked Long Ni, "Miss Long Ni, I wonder if you have any schedules? I hope you can do me the honor of participating in the variety show that I'm working on with Mr. Chen."
Long Ni was so excited that no one could understand her feelings.
Just by accompanying Chen Jincheng to CCTV, I got a role in a CCTV drama and now I'm getting a guest spot on a variety show.
The key is that the other party asked her to give them face.
It makes her seem like some top female celebrity.
She felt like she was floating.
Is this Chen Jincheng's unspoken rule?
Let's give her a taste of these unspoken rules.
She really, really wanted to be with Chen Jincheng right now; otherwise, she wouldn't know how to repay him.
