Chapter 110
Shen Mingzheng himself is also changing.
When he was just reborn, he thought about many things, the most important of which was what to do after coming back.
There was a definite answer at that time - if he could do it again, he would take control of his own destiny, avenge all the injustices, and never live a failed life again. He would become a new person, and even become the master of the Shen family.
Obviously, when he returned to the Shen family, he had already achieved half of his success, and it would not be difficult to achieve those things in the future.
Shen Mingzheng knew everything that would happen in the future. He was clear about everything in the entertainment industry. No one could beat him. In other words, from the moment he was reborn, he was already a superior person.
Shen Mingzheng was alone at that time, and of course he was thinking about himself. In order to achieve these things, he was prepared to use any means, but not long after that, he met Su Ning.
He still remembered the feeling when he first met Su Ning, the surprise he felt when he first discovered that he was very different, as if he had discovered a seed.
In the beginning, he felt empty in his heart, wondering whether it would be meaningful to become the head of the Shen family. But no matter what he thought at the time, after meeting Su Ning, he was no longer alone.
In this way, a new person appeared in Shen Mingzheng's life, and this person gradually became his backbone.
He initially thought about business cooperation, but in reality he was a little influenced by the person next to him, and many of his initial plans naturally shifted, and then step by step he came to where he is today.
At this time, he deeply felt that meeting Su Ning was the meaning of his rebirth.
Su Ning also means a lot to many people. What has changed now is not just myself, but the entire circle and more people.
If he had such an environment and opportunities in his previous life, even if he had not returned to the Shen family, he would not have ended up like that. This circle will always change little by little in this way.
At this moment, Shen Mingzheng already knew what he wanted. So, it didn't matter whether he inherited the Shen family or not, even though many people in this circle had naturally turned to Haicheng at this time.
This can be seen from the attitude of Hong Kong Island Shen Zhaolan. He was not optimistic about them at the beginning, but now almost all cooperation is going to Haicheng, and Shen Anlin is gradually being neglected.
In particular, the big-budget movie "Zero Degree Space" co-produced by Hong Kong Island and Shen Anlin was completed in a hurry, and the special effects were done in a hurry. It is now ready to be released online.
A big-budget movie is of course impressive when it is made public, with a lot of hype and naturally a lot of money spent. The Shen family also plans to send it abroad for screening, and the marketing before its release is also overwhelming, so it can be seen almost everywhere.
Of course, the Shen family can prepare all the best configurations and they can open up any path, but they cannot control the audience.
Su Ning was very considerate during the premiere and he went to watch it. To be honest, it wasn't a terrible movie and the production quality was still good.
But to be honest, this kind of sensory commercial blockbuster is a bit outdated nowadays. Movies nowadays can no longer make money by relying on gorgeous special effects and star-studded casts, and this movie is indeed not very lucky.
When it was released, it was head-on with "The Journey Back" invested by Gaoshan Pictures, which was a strong award-winning and well-received film. At the same time, an animated film "Spiritual Practice" emerged as a dark horse. Moreover, the film was not released in a cold period. At this time, there were seven or eight films that made a splash.
In the face of fierce competition, this film is not very optimistic.
Although the opening box office was high, the trend was not as expected. The box office stopped rising when it reached around 900 million.
It seems that the box office is not low, but it is very poor compared to the investment.
The production and marketing costs of this film are conservatively estimated at more than 500 million. Although there are overseas box office results, that is just a drop in the bucket. The current box office results cannot recover the costs.
Of course, the Shen family is rich, and losing hundreds of millions is nothing. In business, there is always the possibility of losing money, but the failure of this matter is a heavy blow to them, especially in the competition for heirs.
Hong Kong Island originally leaned towards Su Ning, and now it is even more biased, and Shen Zhaolan's intention is even more obvious.
This is not a movie he invested in, Shen Mingzheng doesn't care. He doesn't care much about the entire Shen family now.
Haicheng seems to be a somewhat independent place, and many of the people here are newly recruited. They only listen to him and Su Ning, so what the Shen family does doesn't actually have much influence on him.
Now he just wants to live his own life with Su Ning and achieve their goals together.
But at this time, even if Shen Mingzheng didn't want the Shen family very much, there were some people who insisted on getting involved.
People are always compared. Haicheng is now at its peak, but Shen Anlin is not doing well, especially Shen Antang's health is not very good. After the movie lost money, he was admitted to the hospital.
It is said that he was angry.
Simply losing money would not make him so angry. It was said that during the review, the people in charge of the film blamed each other and no one was willing to take responsibility at this time. As a result, they started arguing directly in front of their father and dared to say anything.
Later, Shen Antang collapsed while holding his chest. Only then did a few people react and rushed him to a private hospital, where he is still staying.
Shen Mingzheng originally didn't want to join in the fun, as he was not the only one who could show filial piety. However, after the old man woke up, he specifically asked him and Su Ning to go over. Zhu Lan also said that his illness was indeed quite serious this time, so no matter what, both of them should go.
Zhu Lan naturally went there too, and she had some selfish motives in this matter. She knew that Shen Mingzheng was the best candidate for successor, even if her father-in-law Shen Anlin could not accept it, but Zhu Lan had her own ideas.
All along, Shen Anlin firmly believed that it must be his side. They had been accustomed to a comfortable life. However, the situation was different since Shen Mingzheng came back. Originally, they thought that a kid who had never received family education would not cause any trouble, but obviously this matter was beyond everyone's expectations.
Not to mention the internal situation of the Shen family, even the trend in the circle has changed, and Zhu Lan has seen all of this with her own eyes. She evaluates this matter from the perspective of the greatest benefit, and it is indeed Shen Mingzheng who is the most suitable, and only he can support the future of the Shen family.
——She still said the same thing, Shen Mingzheng’s biggest advantage is obvious, he has Su Ning.
And looking at the situation, she always felt that the issue of heirship would not take too long, and might even happen right now.
Shen Andang is already quite old. In Shen Mingzheng's memory, he took good care of himself and didn't have to worry much in his previous life. He was still worried about his daughter, so he seemed to be in good condition, so he could live a long life.
But in recent years, he has been traveling to Hong Kong and to the southwest where Shen Anlin is, and he has lost his temper so many times.
As people age, their organs age and their hearts become more susceptible to problems. This is very common. The worst thing to do is to avoid overwork and drastic mood swings.
But Shen Andang looked unwilling to fall down like this.
When Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning arrived, he had just taken medicine. The doctor hoped that he would rest more because he was a little groggy due to the effect of the medicine. However, he insisted on seeing Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning who had just arrived before he would leave.
After seeing the person, he murmured, "Luckily, I still have you. Mingzheng, you... you are someone who gives me peace of mind."
"Only you, obedient, understand what I mean."
His words were a little incoherent, and Shen Mingzheng listened patiently before he roughly understood what he was talking about.
The old man was happy to see him because of what he and Su Ning had done recently. He would not be happy if some small actors and unknown singers got any fair opportunities. In Shen Andang's view, this move was always for other purposes.
He thought the concept was great, sounded good, and most importantly, it worked.
He always keeps an eye on Haicheng. Because of its solid achievements, many people want to get involved.
For example, he knew that many famous actors wanted to join Su Ning's crew, and invitations for collaboration came to him like snowflakes.
The stage built by Shen Mingzheng is known as the best equipment in the singer circle. Many audiences at the scene said that it was a completely different experience from ordinary concerts, so many singers also wanted to give it a try. In addition to recording variety shows, this venue can indeed be used for small concerts at other times, which was one of Shen Mingzheng's original ideas.
More and more prominent forces are willing to come here and recognize the changes made by the two of them.
This is success.
Thinking of this, Shen Andang looked at Su Ning who was standing aside.
He felt that this person was right. Just like when he first met him, he knew what was most important - one of the most important ways to demonstrate power is the power to make rules and new ways of playing.
He thinks this is just a "completely new way of playing".
But Shen Andang probably wouldn't understand that Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng never thought of building a shell to lure people in and kill them. They always thought of giving more opportunities and making the entire circle better.
He won't understand.
Shen Mingzheng even felt that the person in front of him was a little pathetic.
Recalling the first time he met this old man, his maternal grandfather, he would sit in the hall and people would always look up at him unconsciously, but now, he was lying on the hospital bed. Shen Mingzheng said nothing and looked down at him. He was thinner than before, but his mind was still full of fame and fortune.
Shen Mingzheng no longer cares as much about these people in the Shen family and this matter as he did at the beginning. He and Su Ning came here, but Zhu Lan said that if they don't go at this time, there may be some unnecessary trouble.
He already had what he wanted most, Shen Mingzheng thought to this, and then held Su Ning's hand tightly.
He had the confidence because part of the Shen family was now in his hands. The rest was not that important. It was enough for him to get these, and he didn't care about the rest.
But at this moment, Shen Andang seemed to have really made up his mind and was ready to hand over the stall to him.
Because the doctor said that his physical condition was not good, he would need to stay in the hospital for at least a few months, but the Shen family could not be without someone to take care of him. The person he trusted the most and who was the most capable was of course Shen Mingzheng.
Although he was still suspicious and at this time he held some of the most important power of the head of the family firmly in his own hands, Shen Antang's intention at this moment was very clear. He was really prepared to make Shen Mingzheng the official heir.
When these words came out, the person who reacted the most was not Shen Mingzheng, but Shen Anlin.
