Chapter 133 Splitting, Jealousy
Chapter 133 Splitting, Jealousy
Many Tencent Pictures employees suddenly remembered that CEO Chen seemed to have talked to employees on the last day of last year's holiday.
Many people suddenly realized that it was obvious that President Chen had already started making preparations at that time.
At that time, many Tencent Pictures employees were eager to celebrate the Chinese New Year and did not realize that something was wrong.
It's only now that people have realized there were foreshadowings all along, which has caused quite a bit of regret.
If only I had talked to Mr. Chen more back then, it would have been too late.
This time, Chen Jingyuan's conversation with Tencent Pictures employees lasted for about a week. He contacted everyone except those on set.
He basically gained some understanding of most of Tencent Pictures' employees.
"How should we reorganize?!"
Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but start thinking.
Some studios actually handle pretty good projects.
For example, "Princess Agents," co-produced by Tencent Penguin Pictures and Ciwen Media, is a good project even though it's not the dominant one.
Fortunately, "Princess Agents" has not yet been broadcast, so its performance is not considered until the results are in.
Moreover, Chen Jingyuan decided that previous projects were all calculated based on the original employees' contributions.
For example, when "Princess Agents" was successful, the project bonus was distributed to the employees of the studio that worked on the project.
It wasn't taken to a new studio!
It might be a little troublesome in the short term, but it will be no problem once the studio is assigned.
Based on his assessment after talking with Tencent Pictures staff, Chen Jingyuan reshuffled and redistributed the original studio personnel.
As for the original person in charge of the studio, after Chen Jingyuan's consideration, he let these people share a studio with Liu Yang and others.
After the Tianhe Studio was split up, each group was upgraded to become a separate studio.
It's not just one or two projects that need to be managed; it's quite normal to have two people in charge.
This also reflects the idea of maintaining balance; demoting other studio heads would inevitably look bad!
Of course, this does not include some animation production studios.
After making the decision!
Chen Jingyuan immediately convened a short meeting with the heads of the other studios.
"Redistribute the resources."
"Tianhe Studio was originally going to be split up!?"
...
The studio managers couldn't help but show expressions of astonishment upon hearing the news.
It seems no one expected President Chen to make such sweeping changes right from the start; these moves are indeed quite significant.
They were actually a little reluctant, since the studio manager was in charge of making the decisions.
Now it's become a shared responsibility with others, but I know I can't refuse.
We can only proceed according to President Chen's instructions, and we must do our best to complete them.
Nobody wants to become the target of President Chen's scapegoating, as the president of a department in Tencent Group still wields considerable power.
News of splitting up Tianhe Studio and disrupting the original studio quickly spread.
Although no official announcement has been made yet, it's practically a done deal.
"This is a good thing. From now on, we can be considered as the direct descendants."
"President Chen is still the head of Tianhe Studio. If it hadn't been split up, he would have been the only one in power."
"It's obvious that the CEO has a broad vision; he knows that having a monopoly is definitely not a good thing."
...
Compared to the studio manager, the ordinary employees of Tencent Pictures looked very excited.
They were more concerned with their own interests, and Tianhe Studio split up the original projects set up by President Chen so that everyone had a chance.
This means their bonuses are likely to be substantial, which is undoubtedly a good thing.
They had known for a long time that Tianhe Studio's success was all thanks to President Chen.
Unlike staff at other studios, the people at Tianhe Studio naturally received the news.
The expressions on Liu Yang and the others' faces were somewhat complicated. Although they had been promoted, the problem was that their bonuses might be reduced.
Considering that Mr. Chen is now the president of Tencent Pictures, not only the head of Tianhe Studio but also others can understand his situation.
The renowned author Southeast Tiger has joined the platform with his new work, "Starting from Joining Tencent Video"!
About three days later, the relevant announcements were finally released!
Tianhe Studio was split into four studios: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, and Tianquan.
The Milky Way will be renamed after the Big Dipper!
It also details the original allocation of other studio members.
"I was assigned to the Tian Shu Studio, and the heads of the studio are Liu Yang and Wu Jianchao, who was originally the head of the studio."
"I was assigned to Tianxuan Studio, and the people in charge are Jiang Qiaodan and Xu Mingli."
...
Many other studio staff members began checking where their names had been assigned.
The various office areas will also be re-divided next!
Liu Yang and others also created a group chat for all the members of their respective studios.
Currently, an average studio has around fifty people.
In addition, Tencent Pictures will be recruiting a lot more people this year, and one studio may have more than 100 people.
If you include the staff at the animation studios, Tencent Pictures has a considerable number of employees.
Chen Jingyuan truly manages hundreds of people under his command.
It is estimated that the number of people could exceed a thousand within two years.
We are still in the era of internet traffic, and the winter of film and television has not yet arrived.
The number of employees at Tencent has been increasing year by year, and it's not time for layoffs yet.
Next, we just need to wait for the studio to work out on its own!
Just as Chen Jingyuan was adjusting the personnel division of Tencent Penguin Pictures, the promotion for "A Love So Beautiful" also began.
There was another show airing around the same time called "Mythical Beast Mahjong Parlor," but Chen Jingyuan never paid any attention to it.
After communicating with Sun Zhonghuai, all publicity resources were allocated to "A Love So Beautiful".
Although it was partly due to Chen Keke's influence, Chen Jingyuan's reason for giving Sun Zhonghuai was simply that he was optimistic about him.
Justified and confident!
Sun Zhonghuai trusted Chen Jingyuan quite a bit, and he simply ignored any personal motives he might have had.
Chen Jingyuan didn't forget to tell Chen Keke about the publicity.
During this period, Chen Keke has been taking a few days off from time to time to record variety shows.
Generally, guest appearances are filmed in about a day, with most of the time spent at school.
Knowing that she would be joining a film crew soon, Chen Keke had been taking extra classes at school.
She barely passed her final exams last semester, which almost drove Chen Keke crazy.
"I can't leave a bad impression on you in college."
Chen Keke still has a lot of celebrity baggage to maintain; she can't afford to leave a stain like failing a course.
If she failed the course, she could imagine that many haters would use this as a reason to attack her.
This is not what Chen Keke wanted to see!
The fact that the promotion for "A Love So Beautiful" was discovered as soon as it started was discovered.
Tencent Video has put a lot of effort into promotion, with numerous news articles and press releases.
"Coco, it seems like the show you acted in before has started its promotion."
This time, a classmate discovered that Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei had been tagged directly in the class group chat.
After that, the whole class paid attention. Chen Keke became famous, but Tian Xiwei did not.
I also want to see if this drama will be successful.
Currently, very few freshmen have the resources to act in films or television dramas.
Since they are classmates, the level of attention they receive is naturally higher.
Of course, there were bound to be some people here who wanted to see the spectacle.
If "A Love So Beautiful" doesn't do well academically, it might satisfy some people's darker desires.
Not everyone hopes that Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei will succeed.
This kind of mentality is actually quite normal; it's inevitable for people to feel jealous.
Especially as the gap between classmates widens, there are more people hoping you'll fail than you imagine.
However, Chen Keke was still very popular before the results were released.
It's not just his classmates who are paying attention; even the students who entered the performing arts department in 2014 and 2015 are getting a lot of attention.
