Cannon fodder whose lives are controlled are trying to rewrite their own lives. 15. Seeking…

In court, Chen Xia's two uncles stood up straight, insisting that as Song Yu's nephews, they were more entitled to inherit Song Yu's property than Chen Xia, given that Song Yu had no biological children.

Chen Xia's lawyer calmly produced several documents: "The statutory order of inheritance in the Civil Code is based on blood relations and marital relations."

We have evidence to prove that the two plaintiffs are not related to Mr. Song Yu by blood. Therefore, the two plaintiffs are not qualified to be heirs to Mr. Song Yu's property.

My client, Ms. Chen Xia, is Mr. Song Yu's only blood relative and also has Mr. Song Yu's notarized will.

The will clearly states that Mr. Song Yu bequeathed all his property to Ms. Chen Xia. All this evidence demonstrates that Ms. Chen Xia's inheritance of the estate is legally justified.

As Chen Xia's lawyer spoke, he presented various pieces of evidence in court one by one.

Chen Xia's two uncles sat in the plaintiff's seat, their faces extremely grim. They never expected that that brat Chen Xia would know that they were not related to that old hag by blood.

They assumed that because of Song Yu's status as his nephew, they would be able to inherit a portion of the estate even with a will. They never expected Chen Xia to be so well-prepared, catching them completely off guard.

After reviewing all the evidence submitted by both parties, the judge delivered his verdict in court.

"After investigation, it was found that the ownership of the estate of the deceased Song Yu was clear, the evidence was sufficient, and there was no dispute."

In accordance with Article 1123 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, this court hereby rules as follows: The estate under the name of the deceased Song Yu shall be inherited by Chen Xia in accordance with law, and all of the plaintiff's claims are dismissed.

The two uncles were completely dumbfounded. They had spent money and hired lawyers, but in the end they didn't get a penny and even lost money on lawyer fees.

After leaving the courthouse, the two brothers blamed each other: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't said that even if we lost the case, we could still get some benefits, I wouldn't have come to the court with you."

Now look what happened! Not only did he not get a single penny of the inheritance, but he also spent a fortune on legal fees and lost face in front of the entire nation.

"You're blaming me now? You didn't object in the first place! Now that you've lost the case, you're making sarcastic remarks and seem ashamed?"

"Now you know you regret it? Where were you before? You didn't say you wouldn't do it back then, did you? Now that you've lost the case, you're making sarcastic remarks. If you're ashamed, why didn't you sue her in the first place?"

As Chen Xia walked out of the courthouse, a number of reporters with their cameras and microphones were waiting to interview her.

Seeing Chen Xia emerge from the courthouse, they swarmed around her: "Ms. Chen Xia, what's your opinion on your two uncles suing you over inheritance issues?"

Chen Xia calmly responded, "The court has already made it very clear that my two uncles are not related to my maternal great-uncle by blood."

Even without the will left by their great-uncle, they wouldn't have been able to inherit the estate.

"Ms. Chen Xia, I heard that you previously went to court against your biological mother, and now you're in court against your two uncles,"

"Director Chen, the animated film 'Yang Jian and Nezha' has surpassed 4 billion yuan at the box office. Can you share your thoughts?"

"First of all, I was surprised and happy that the box office exceeded 4 billion. I am very grateful for the support of my fans."

Moving forward, my team and I will continue to work hard to create even better works.

We hope for your continued support and wish all our fans a happy, joyful, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

Some reporters wanted to continue asking questions, but Chen Xia quickly left the scene under the escort of bodyguards.

Although the final box office results for the second film are not yet available, Chen Xia has already begun planning for the next animated film.

Next, we'll return to the Journey to the West theme, first adapting "The Monkey King Thrice Beats the White Bone Demon," and then filming "The True and False Monkey King."

She believes that "The Three Battles with the White Bone Demon" is full of suspense and plot twists, making it suitable for an animated film. "The True and False Monkey King" delves deeper into the inner world of Sun Wukong.

Actually, what she really wanted to adapt was Lion Camel Ridge, but the original work had too many dark and terrifying elements, and even if it passed censorship, it would not be suitable for children to watch.

Nowadays, animated films generally appeal to all age groups, especially during the Spring Festival season, when families go to see the movies together.

She also had to consider that overly gory content might upset children. And if it were filmed like in the TV series, the terror of Lion Camel Ridge wouldn't be conveyed at all.

The box office of Yang Jian and Nezha's movie ultimately stopped at over 5.5 billion yuan, which was completely unexpected for Chen Xia. She thought that 4.5 billion yuan was the limit for this animated film.

Unexpectedly, after she finished her lawsuit with her two uncles, she donated another 20 billion yuan in a moment of joy. Netizens excitedly went to watch the movie three or four times to support her, which actually boosted the box office by another 1 billion yuan.

With a total box office of 5.5 billion, Xingxia Animation Workshop will ultimately receive 2.1 billion in revenue sharing. Chen Xia will directly contribute 200 million to distribute this bonus according to the proportion of each person's contribution to the entire film production.

Animation designers, key animators, and post-production staff, who have high workloads and require a lot of effort, receive the largest bonuses, ranging from over five million to over ten million.

Such a reward is extremely rare in the entire industry; it's two hundred million!

Box office revenue sharing is not the same as net income. A 25% corporate income tax, production costs, and marketing costs must be deducted.

With a box office revenue of 2.1 billion, Chen Xia's net income was only around 100 million. She is now giving 200 million as bonuses to her team members.

Should other top directors follow suit and learn from this? If not, will team members become passive or even leave?

Chen Xia's actions can be considered a great investment, and after the news spread within the industry, many outstanding animation designers, illustrators, and even post-production staff joined Xingxia's team.

The newly renovated office area downstairs came in handy, and their team of thirty people grew to one hundred.

When considering the need to increase staff, Chen Xia had already taken this into account and bought a commercial apartment building that was eager to be sold less than a kilometer away from the company.

This apartment building was previously developed into an apartment hotel, with a variety of unit types, from studios to multi-bedroom apartments. The interior decoration is modern and minimalist, and it is fully furnished and equipped with appliances, so you can move in immediately with just your luggage.

This is perfect for providing welfare housing for their studio. Chen Xia is not short of money, and they don't need to pay rent. As long as you stay in the studio for one day, you can stay there for one day.

Those who wish to move from the previous staff dormitory to this one can submit their application on the work platform, and Ling Yi will approve it before they can come and collect their keys.

The first batch of long-term employees received a settlement allowance of 200,000 yuan, while the new employees this time will each receive a settlement allowance of 100,000 yuan.

After all, the veteran employees followed her and built the studio from scratch step by step. The benefits for new employees shouldn't leave out the veteran employees.

Whether it was buying an apartment or a settling-in allowance, the previous film production, promotion, and even the 200 million yuan bonus were all normal company expenses, and the cashback system reimbursed them all.

Therefore, she plans to invest 2 billion yuan in this new film. That's what the investment proposal says. At the time, the entire studio staff was shocked.

Chen Xia said, "Yes, that's how extravagant we are. There's no other way; to complete the task, we have to spend money, and investment is the best way."

Not only that, she also added many investors and directors in the industry, and some of them have even become good friends.

If a project is promising, she's quite willing to invest in live-action films and television series. This type of investor, with plenty of money and minimal hassle, is highly favored by top directors.

Unlike some investors who only invest a tiny share but then try to squeeze people in and change the script.

In contrast, Chen Xia is more generous and lavish in his investments than the coal bosses of the past. Apart from requiring excellent scripts and competent acting skills, he has no other requirements and does not interfere with the creative process.

Such an investor is welcome wherever she goes. What's more, she is protected by the state. As long as there are no problems with the movies and TV series she invests in, they will definitely pass the censorship faster than others.

As a result, many celebrities in the industry have set their sights on Chen Xia, seeing her as a shortcut to instant fame and success. In addition to glamorous and seemingly respectable male celebrities, there are even female celebrities who have offered themselves to her.

Chen Xia gritted her teeth in anger: "Am I a lecherous pervert in their eyes? They're willing to offer themselves to me, but I think they're old, ugly, and dirty!"

After venting his anger, he picked up his phone and called a well-known director he knew, adding several ugly, delusional male celebrities to his blacklist.

As for those female celebrities, Chen Xia chose to ignore them; she would never work with them again.

Some of them did have ulterior motives, but most were forced to do so by their management companies.

Chen Xia was too lazy to distinguish them and simply kept her distance from them. The reason she didn't completely shut them down like she did with the male celebrities she had blocked was because they were just being ambiguous, unlike some greasy male celebrities who were so ugly that they offended her eyes.

Chen Xia has dedicated her life to making animated films. In addition to the two well-known IPs, Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, she also adapted stories from Classic of Mountains and Seas, such as Hou Yi shooting down the sun, Chang'e flying to the moon, and Jingwei filling the sea.

More than her billions in assets, netizens are interested in her love life, but unfortunately Chen Xia herself is very low-key.

Aside from promotional tours and interviews with her team when a movie is released, she spends most of her time either holed up in her studio or rarely seen.

Her low profile couldn't stop netizens' gossip. Whenever she was photographed having dinner with a close friend, rumors about her relationship would spread like wildfire the next day.

According to various marketing accounts, she has two relationships with traceable details and substantial evidence.

A certain handsome male celebrity, with formal training, a clean private life, and a humble personality, is not very popular and always plays the second or third male lead in TV dramas.

It is rumored that someone photographed his car frequently entering and leaving Chen Xia's villa in Haidian District for a period of time. Later, an insider revealed that the two did indeed have a brief conversation.

Her second relationship was with a variety show host, whose natural beauty surpassed that of many top male celebrities. They were photographed attending auctions, dining together, and watching movies together.

In conclusion, netizens concluded that regardless of whether the news is true or false, Director Chen really has high standards when it comes to the looks of his romantic partners.
