Chapter 111
Although this news was not fully disclosed, it was said in front of the patient's bed and was not a secret. At least it spread quickly within the Shen family.
Zhu Lan found out that day.
Although she was a little surprised, it was not unexpected. The old man intended to hand over more things on hand to Shen Mingzheng, which sounded like a passing on of power.
She had already made up her mind, so she quickly went home at this time. When she pushed the door, she heard Shen Anlin yelling at home: "You bunch of useless things!"
The prominent descendants of the family were all standing there with their heads down. They only looked up at Zhu Lan when they saw her coming back. They paused for a moment, but not for too long.
Afterwards, Shen Anlin started to curse about some people using that method to win people's hearts, but she pretended not to hear it and let it go in one ear and out the other.
Although no name was mentioned, she knew who was being scolded.
Zhu Lan just thought it was funny. There was no point in saying these things at this time. If you are not as skilled as others, you might as well bow your head. Nowadays, idols, actors, and singers in the circle really like to go there. Who can blame them for having better resources? Instead of getting angry, you might as well think about how to get along with Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning in the future.
Those two are easy to talk to. They have the personality of "I won't offend others unless they offend me". If everyone is obedient, life can still go on.
Zhu Lan's main character is a person who can bend and stretch, and working under these two people cannot be considered "bending", but she also knows that it is better not to say such words directly at the moment, otherwise Shen Anlin will be even more angry.
After she greeted these people politely, she turned around and went to her room to pack her things.
"What are you doing?"
Her husband followed her into the room, asking questions as he went.
He had a cowardly temper and always listened to his father. After getting married, he generally listened to her and never dared to think that he could be the heir, but there were few people like him in the Shen family who were law-abiding.
"I'm doing some serious work, and I finally made it back to the capital. I just packed some things and sent them to Haicheng," Zhu Lan said, "I'm going to live there for a long time, so you'd better get ready."
When her husband heard this, he took a breath and then asked cautiously: "Is the old man really dying?"
According to what the hospital said, it's not like I'm going to die at any time, but there's definitely something wrong with my body. Even if I recover this time, I'm afraid I won't have to go to the hospital often in the future, as I won't be able to recover to my previous condition.
But Zhu Lan didn't say it directly here.
"How should I know? I'm not a doctor," she said, "No matter what, the Shen family will have a patriarch. There's no need to rush."
Although she is the old man's adopted daughter and confidant, there is no family affection between them, and she is terribly calm at this time.
Shen Anlin also knew what Zhu Lan said.
His expression became even more gloomy and terrifying, especially when he saw her walking away. He cursed again: "You traitor!"
Zhu Lan heard it, but didn't react and continued walking forward. Her husband frowned when he heard this and said, "Dad, don't say that to her."
He often listened to Zhu Lan, who said that as long as he behaved himself, nothing would happen. He had indeed been very honest over the years and didn't want to get into any trouble now.
Shen Anlin snorted, and said nothing more, but several thoughts had already crossed his mind.
He absolutely couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had worked like a slave for Shen Antang all his life, and if he ended up like this, he would not be willing to accept it. Moreover, he was old and didn't have much time left to live, so he had to plan for his family.
How could the Shen family let go of such enormous wealth so easily?
But the real owner was not very happy to hear about the heir.
Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning had no time to talk after they came out of the hospital. The old man seemed to have been prepared for it. As soon as he came out, someone showed him a lot of documents and did not avoid Su Ning.
The Shen family has a lot of investments, and many of them are not visible. They are not even limited to the entertainment industry. The Shen family is involved in many industries related to culture and entertainment, and these industries are quite complicated.
It’s okay to be busy, I’ve gotten used to it. Shen Mingzheng has his own people under him, and he can just gradually place his people in the team. There are many things that he doesn’t need to do personally.
But after looking around, he still had reservations about this matter.
After those people left, he put the documents aside and hugged Su Ning on the sofa. Su Ning saw his mood, reached out and touched his hair, and then said: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy about suddenly becoming the heir?"
"No," Shen Mingzheng shook his head and leaned his head on Su Ning's shoulder, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
He didn't really want to get involved in the Shen family's mess now, but Shen Antang obviously didn't give him any choice. It was an established fact that he would become a thorn in the eyes of other heirs.
Even if he didn't accept it, Haicheng's situation was there, and others would only think that he was retreating to advance and that he couldn't escape.
Most importantly, he felt that Shen Antang was not of such a character. He would never give away all the power in his hands easily just because he was sick and felt that he didn't have much time left.
And after looking through it, you will find that although these investments given to him are a lot, they cannot be regarded as the foundation of the Shen family. The real things are still in the hands of the old man.
Su Ning had the same idea as him.
The two men did not become complacent about this incident, but became more vigilant after discussing it.
"It's okay," Su Ning said, "I'll always be here."
After hearing his words, Shen Mingzheng finally calmed down.
As long as he has Su Ning, he is not afraid of anything. Now is not the time for the two of them to be passive.
The announcement in the hospital, although it was an emergency measure, was not formal, and such a transfer required many formal procedures, so it was impossible for anyone to take over completely in a short period of time.
Therefore, during this period of time, it was obvious that Shen Anlin and Shen Mingzheng were not getting along well. The previous competition was all in secret, but now it has almost been exposed.
Because of this kind of "succession", people over there are obviously going crazy.
Things in the entertainment industry can easily become a big deal, and the other side was not polite and started attacking the top artists in Haicheng from the beginning.
First, he found a group of internet trolls to bring up the fact that Li Chu’s family was in debt.
This matter is known to everyone. It was no longer a secret when they debuted, and they had already paid off the debt long ago. However, combined with what happened between Zhou Chunqing and Jiang Chenfeng at the time, they were ambiguously accused of having no bottom line in order to repay the debt.
With Li Chu's popularity, there will be both red and black. It is very vicious to deliberately use such things to provoke conflicts and expose people's scars.
This incident forced Zhou Chunqing to come out and explain. She was originally a victim and had already retired from the entertainment industry, but she still felt hurt when she mentioned this incident, which made Li Chu very angry. He quickly stood up and issued a statement and a lawyer's letter.
Even his fans realized that this wave of criticism seemed premeditated and quickly stood up to defend him.
The snowy side was the same and was the first to be attacked. Although Lu Fei scolded him back, the attacks still continued.
She is a famous female star with beauty, and no one knows where the Shen family found those low-class internet trolls to deliberately post those weird and ugly pictures.
snow:"……"
She even found it a little funny. It was really boring to bring up those dirty photos and so-called scandals.
Ji Mowei, Lin Zhi, Ye Qiuxin and even the signed veteran actors who have no interest in traffic have all been attacked to varying degrees. Fortunately, behind-the-scenes staff like Yan Lu have been spared for the time being.
In this incident, even Bai Qinghe, who had just appeared on the stage, could not escape. He had a lot of messy and ugly pictures, which were probably bought from the band. They were all old pictures.
But Bai Qinghe's personality shows that he has good self-regulation ability. After being tricked by Li Chu into singing a song, he plucked up the courage to go a second time, and thus he really gained some fans.
After so many appearances, fans know what he looks like and what he was like before, so many fans sent him private messages to comfort him. He is the kind of person who can persevere as long as he gets a little encouragement, and at this time he still has the mind to help Li Chu explain.
Because of this public opinion, not only did it not cause any sway in the company, but it made everyone more united, with a kind of Ah Q mentality of "if you are criticized, I will be criticized too."
Of course, it was not just Guangying Entertainment that suffered from this attack. Shen Mingzheng's side was even more affected, and even some people who came to Haicheng to seek cooperation were implicated.
Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng quickly suppressed the pressure.
With their current connections and abilities, they could naturally retaliate in this way. It is not difficult to throw dirty water and spread rumors like this, but neither of them wants to do that.
There is really no need to go to this extent just to fight for power and profit. No normal person would do that.
There were many people with insightful views on this matter, and they spoke a lot of fair words for these artists in the Haicheng circle. However, what surprised Su Ning was that Zhu Lan's position on this matter was particularly firm.
She has always stood on Haicheng's side and helped a lot in this matter. It may be that the artists in Jianfeng also have her subordinates, such as Shu Miao who was also scolded, but she also helped the artists in Su Ning.
In order to show her attitude, she even brought her husband over, and directly refused to go along with Shen Anlin. She had changed a little since she came to Haicheng, but her ability to judge the situation had not changed.
Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng would not passively defend. After accepting such an attack, they had their own means of counterattacking.
The Shen family has always been a place where one must move forward or else one will fall behind. There is no way forward for the position of heir.
Shen Anlin has a lot of film and television projects, and they have been opening them recently, especially after the movie lost money, they had to rely on new projects to make it back. Soon they found that it was not so easy to open a project, and Haicheng began to blatantly grab it.
There is a newly launched ancient fantasy project over there, it has a big IP and a huge investment of nearly 200 million yuan. It also invites some of the most popular stars, so it is a big project that has attracted much attention from the audience.
But just before filming started, the originally cast member for the second female lead suddenly quit the role. It was said that the company had discussed a better project, so they chose that side after weighing the pros and cons.
"Over there" of course refers to Haicheng.
Of course, a second female lead is nothing. The protagonist is their own and cannot be moved, so they can just find someone else for the supporting role. However, the departure of this one was not enough. After that, more actors resigned one after another, so the start of filming had to be postponed and other people had to be found.
Troubles continued to arise after that, and soon the screenwriter of the show ran away.
The chief screenwriter is very capable and has written several popular dramas, but there were complaints before.
Because the male and female protagonists each brought a screenwriter into the group, and they had proposed several revisions before, all wanting to add their own highlights, and even changing important original story lines. This kind of thing happened quite a lot in the past, but there have been changes in the industry recently, and this kind of thing will never happen in Haicheng.
Who would want to earn money on their knees when they can earn it while standing?
The screenwriter ran away, but it wasn't a big deal. After all, the script had already been produced before filming started and the money had already been paid. He was just no longer responsible for some subsequent revisions.
It doesn’t matter, they can change it themselves.
But after finally making it to the start of filming, even the director left.
This time he did not hide the reason for his departure and said directly that he was poached from Haicheng, where not only was he paid more money, but he was also provided with plans for his future career.
Then, the director generously paid the penalty and ran away. Not long after, he appeared in the crew of Su Ning.
The project in Haicheng is short of people.
When the two sides quarreled like this, Su Ning was not good at using those despicable means, but he was very skilled in cutting off the source of the trouble.
