Chapter 110
Shen Mingzheng himself is also changing.
When he was first reborn, he thought about many things, the most important of which was what to do after coming back.
At that time, there was a definite answer - if he had another chance, he would take control of his own destiny again, avenge all the injustices, and no longer 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 defeat him. In other words, from the moment he was reborn, he was already a superior person.
At that time, Shen Mingzheng only had himself, and of course he was thinking about himself. In order to achieve these goals, he was prepared to use any means necessary, but not long after that, he met Su Ning.
He still remembered the feeling when he first met Su Ning, the feeling of surprise when he 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, there was one more person in Shen Mingzheng's life, and this person gradually became his backbone.
He was thinking about business cooperation at first, but in fact he was influenced little by little by the person next to him. Many of his initial plans naturally shifted, and then he came to where he is today step by step.
At this time, he deeply felt that meeting Su Ning was the meaning of his rebirth.
Su Ning also means something to many people. What has changed now is no longer just myself, but the entire circle and more people.
If he had such an environment and opportunities in his previous life, even if he did not return to the Shen family, he would not have ended up like that. This circle will always change little by little like this.
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. At the beginning, he was obviously not optimistic about them, but now almost all the cooperation is coming to Haicheng, and Shen Anlin has gradually been neglected.
In particular, after the big-budget movie "Zero Degree Space" co-produced by Hong Kong Island and Shen Anlin was rushed to finish filming, the special effects were done in a hurry and it is now ready to be launched.
A big-investment 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 overwhelming, and 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 see the movie. To be honest, it wasn't a terrible movie and the production standard was still good.
But to be honest, this kind of sensory commercial blockbuster is a bit outdated now. Nowadays, movies can no longer make money by relying on gorgeous special effects and a star-studded cast, and this movie is indeed not very lucky.
When it was released, it collided head-on with "The Way Back" invested by Gaoshan Pictures, which was a strong award-winning film with good reputation. At the same time, an animated film "Spiritual Practice" also emerged as a dark horse. Moreover, the movies were not chosen at a cold period. There were seven or eight films that made a splash during this period.
In the face of strong competition, the outlook for this film is not very optimistic.
Although the opening box office was high, the trend was not satisfactory. The box office stopped increasing 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 to be more than 500 million. Although there are overseas box office revenues, that is just a drop in the bucket. The current box office revenue cannot recover the costs.
Of course, the Shen family is rich, and losing a few hundred million 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 its mind is even more biased, and Chen Zhaolan's intention is 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 group, with many people being newly recruited. They only listen to him and Su Ning, and the Shen family's doings don'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 close to him.
People are always compared. Haicheng is now in its heyday, but Shen Anlin's development is not going 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 paying compensation would not make him so angry. I heard that during the review, several people in charge of the movie blamed each other and no one was willing to take responsibility at this time. As a result, they started arguing directly in front of the old man and dared to say anything.
Later, Shen Antang fell down holding his chest, and several people finally reacted. Then they hurriedly sent him to a private hospital, where he is still staying.
Shen Mingzheng originally didn't want to join in the fun, as he was needed to 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 more serious this time, so no matter what, both of them should go.
Zhu Lan naturally went there, 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 were used to living a comfortable life. However, the situation was different since Shen Mingzheng came back. They originally thought that a kid who had never received family education would not be able to cause any trouble, but obviously this matter was beyond everyone's expectations.
Not to mention the internal situation of the Shen family, even the wind direction in the circle has changed, and Zhu Lan has seen all of this with her own eyes. She evaluated this matter from the perspective of maximizing benefits, 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 succession would not take too long, and might even happen right now.
Shen Antang is already quite old. In Shen Mingzheng's memory of his previous life, he took good care of himself and didn't worry too much. He still had a little thought about his daughter in his heart, so he seemed to be in good condition, so he could live a long life.
But in recent years, he has been running around Hong Kong City and going to the southwest where Shen Anlin is, and he has gotten angry so many times that he doesn't know how many times he has gotten angry.
As people get older, their organs age and their hearts become more susceptible to problems. This is a very common thing. The most taboo things are overwork and drastic mood swings.
But Shen Andang seemed unwilling to fall like this.
When Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning arrived, he had just taken medicine. The doctor wanted him to 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, and would not give up until they saw them.
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 speech was 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 naturally not be happy about some small actors and unknown singers getting fair opportunities. In Shen Andang's view, this move was always for other purposes.
He thought the concept was great, it sounded good, and most importantly, it worked.
He always keeps an eye on Haicheng. Because of the 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 sing on it. In addition to recording variety shows, this venue can indeed be used for small concerts at other times, which was also one of Shen Mingzheng's original ideas.
More and more prominent forces are willing to come here and agree with 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 he had made the right choice with this person. Just like when they first met, he knew in his heart 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 Antang probably wouldn't understand that Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng never thought of building a shell to lure people in and kill them. All they thought about was 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 grandpa, 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 looked down at him without saying a word. 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 from 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 might be some unnecessary trouble.
He already had what he wanted most, Shen Mingzheng thought of 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 time, Shen Andang seemed to have really made up his mind and was ready to hand over the matter to him.
Because the doctor said that his physical condition was not good, and he would have to recuperate in the hospital for at least a few months, but the Shen family could not be without someone in charge. Of course, the person he trusted the most and who was the most capable was Shen Mingzheng.
Although he was still suspicious and held the most important power of the head of the family tightly in his own hands at this time, Shen Antang's meaning at this moment was very clear. He was really ready to make Shen Mingzheng the official heir.
When this sentence came out, the one who reacted the most was not Shen Mingzheng, but Shen Anlin.
