Chapter 28 The Fallen Child Star 28

Yao Rong naturally fully supports Xu Weiheng's decision.

She has been thinking about this issue recently. She

was not in a hurry to discuss it with Xu Weiheng before, firstly because Xu Weiheng's condition had not been adjusted to the best, and secondly because the school was on summer vacation at that time.

Unexpectedly, Xu Weiheng would take the initiative to bring it up before she communicated with him.

"Your student record is in City A, where do you plan to go to high school?"

Xu Weiheng said without hesitation: "Of course I will stay here."

"Then we have to transfer your student record back. Why don't we fly to City A tomorrow? It happens that I haven't seen your Aunt Zhang for a while."

The next afternoon, at the airport in City A.

As soon as Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng came out, they saw Zhang Qingyi.

Zhang Qingyi's hair had grown a little longer and fell on her shoulders. She wore a blue dress and her favorite pearl earrings. There was no haggard look between her brows.

She was holding a little boy of about seven or eight years old in her hands.

The little boy wore a shirt and overalls. He was clean and well-behaved. It was obvious that Zhang Qingyi had raised him well.

When the two met, Zhang Qingyi rushed over excitedly and hugged Yao Rong: "Sister Yao, long time no see." After

the two exchanged a few words of greeting, Zhang Qingyi calmed down and pointed at the little boy and introduced him: "This is Li Chu."

Li Chu called "Aunt Yao" and "Brother Weiheng" obediently. He was not afraid of strangers. His bright black eyes stared at Xu Weiheng, full of curiosity.

"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Xu Weiheng half squatted down and rubbed his hair.

Li Chu: "I often watch your variety shows with my mother."

When watching the variety show, his mother would keep telling him how good Aunt Yao and Brother Weiheng were, and praised Brother Weiheng for being a very brave man, asking him to learn from Brother Weiheng in the future.

Zhang Qingyi smiled: "He has always wanted to have a brother or sister. Knowing that you are coming, he was so excited that he didn't sleep until late at night." Li

Chu was a little embarrassed by what his mother said, but he couldn't help but continue to peek at Xu Weiheng.

Xu Weiheng stepped forward, pushing the suitcase with one hand and holding Li Chu with the other.

The four of them walked to the parking lot, and Zhang Qingyi drove home.

After the divorce, Zhang Qingyi bought the house opposite her parents.

The house has three bedrooms and a living room. Yao Rong will sleep in one room, and Xu Weiheng and Li Chu will sleep in another room.

Zhang Qingyi said: "My parents are very happy to know that you are coming. My father specially went to the kitchen to cook dinner."

Yao Rong is no stranger to Zhang Qingyi's parents.

Zhang Qingyi's father Zhang Hongyu is the editor-in-chief of the A City Daily, and his mother is also an insider. The two of them helped Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng a lot at the time.

Sure enough, when they arrived at Zhang's father's house, Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng were warmly welcomed.

After the meal, Zhang's father learned about Xu Weiheng's situation and said that if Xu Weiheng encountered any trouble in transferring his school status, he could come to him for help.

After finishing dinner at Zhang's father's place, the group returned to Zhang Qingyi's place.

Li Chu and Xu Weiheng went into the room to put their luggage.

Zhang Qingyi cut an apple, pushed it in front of Yao Rong, and told her about the recent situation.

After returning to City A, Zhang Qingyi met with her ex-husband.

The two had a long and frank discussion, ranging from marriage problems to child support.

The couple quarreled fiercely at the beginning, but fortunately, before the end of Li Chu's summer camp, they reached a preliminary consensus and did not let Li Chu see the quarrel between the couple.

Later, they went to the summer camp together to pick up Li Chu. Zhang Qingyi found a suitable opportunity to tell Li Chu everything that happened during this period in full without any exaggeration.

"He's a good kid. He cried a lot when he heard me say I wanted a divorce..."

Zhang Qingyi's eyes were slightly red.

"But after he calmed down, he told me... he would support my decision and told me not to be sad and not to punish myself with other people's mistakes."

The problem that Zhang Qingyi was most worried about was solved smoothly, and other things were nothing to Zhang Qingyi.

She divorced her ex-husband, moved, and started working hard to make money. She was busy.

Her life was even more enjoyable than before the divorce.

Yao Rong poured her a glass of water.

After drinking the water, Zhang Qingyi smiled: "I believe Weiheng's words more and more now."

When she didn't know how to tell the child these things, Xu Weiheng said to her seriously: Sometimes, children are stronger and more reasonable than adults think.

It was because of Xu Weiheng's words that she woke up that she was able to find the most suitable way to communicate with her children and minimize the impact of her divorce from her ex-husband on the children. After

talking about the recent situation, Zhang Qingyi asked Yao Rong how long she would stay here.

When she learned that she would only stay for three days, she said regretfully: "Why only stay for three days? I was thinking about taking you to have fun."

Yao Rong smiled helplessly: "School is about to start, and he has fallen behind in his homework. He has to make up for it early."

"That's right, then let's go to register for school tomorrow morning."

It took two days, and the registration was successfully completed.

After finishing the business, Zhang Qingyi took Yao Rong to the mall and bought a pearl necklace for Yao Rong and herself.

"It's not an expensive gift, but I think it suits your temperament very well, Sister Yao."

Yao Rong didn't bother to be polite with Zhang Qingyi, and planned to pick out a watch for her on her birthday.

After buying jewelry, the two went shopping for clothes.

It's almost time to change seasons, and it's time to buy some autumn clothes.

Li Chu and Xu Weiheng followed them obediently, carrying things.

Li Chu sighed and raised the three shopping bags in his hand: "Fortunately, I don't go shopping with my mother often."

Xu Weiheng was amused by Li Chu's little adult appearance, and turned around to buy Li Chu a new basketball and two boxes of 1,000-piece puzzles.

He came in too hurry and didn't buy Li Chu a gift for the meeting. Now is the perfect time to make up for it.

Li Chu was very happy to have a new basketball.

Before dinner, Li Chu took Xu Weiheng to the basketball court in the community to play basketball.

Tired of playing, Li Chu hugged the basketball and followed Xu Weiheng obediently.

The setting sun shone from behind them, stretching the shadows of one big and one small.

"Brother..." Li Chu suddenly tugged at Xu Weiheng's clothes, "Will it be hard for a single mother?"

"Yes."

"Oh..."

"So we have to take good care of ourselves and take good care of her. If she is in danger or bullied by someone, we have to protect her. Who calls us men?"

Li Chu nodded vigorously.

Xu Weiheng turned around and stood face to face with Li Chu.

He leaned forward slightly and looked at Li Chu, with a soft light in his eyes: "Then let's make a deal, and then we will supervise each other. If one of us fails to do it in the future, the other will remind him. This is an agreement between men."

Li Chu said excitedly: "Okay, this is our common secret."

Xu Weiheng touched his head and added: "But if you encounter grievances, don't force yourself. You are braver than she thinks, and she is stronger than you think."

The two returned home with the basketball. Yao Rong asked curiously: "Why did you come back so late?"

"We chatted for a while after playing basketball."

Yao Rong glanced at Xu Weiheng, smiled, and didn't ask any more questions.

The next day, Zhang Qing also sent Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng to the airport and said goodbye to them.

After returning home, Xu Weiheng quickly processed the enrollment.

During this period, fans often sent private messages to inquire about Xu Weiheng's next announcements, and many variety shows and TV dramas also contacted Xu Weiheng. For this reason, Xu Weiheng specially posted a Weibo, saying that he would focus on studying for the next three years and would only act in his free time during the winter and summer vacations.

Many fans are regretful and think that he is very popular now and should take advantage of this time to film well.

But more fans expressed their support for this.

[Although I think it's a pity, it is precisely because Xu Weiheng did this that I am more convinced that I am not a fan of the wrong person]

[Being able to maintain his original intention in the face of popularity, Xu Weiheng will definitely go higher and farther in the future. Wish you all the best! ]

After posting the Weibo, Xu Weiheng picked up his junior high school textbooks again.

After all, he had said goodbye to school for a long time. Xu Weiheng started to watch very slowly, but by finding videos and learning on the Internet, he gradually got into the state.

In early September, when the first year of high school started, Xu Weiheng attracted the attention of all the students in the school. He still maintained his own pace of life. When the students gradually got used to his presence, his campus life gradually returned to peace. He even made a few friends and formed a study group with them.

On weekends, Xu Weiheng would specifically learn guitar, piano, dance, and also play some movies and TV series to learn. At the suggestion of fans, he would occasionally post some of his practice clips to his personal Weibo account.

The strange thing is that although he is not active in the entertainment industry, his number of Weibo fans has not decreased but increased.

Especially when Xu Weiheng's piano and dance skills have made great progress, he even ranked first on the hot search, and the comments below were very lively.

[The child has made progress]

[Watching Xu Weiheng learn the piano from the beginning and now making great progress in piano skills, I feel the joy of raising him]

[Even though he once lived in a bad environment, he is now shining with his own efforts]

During this time, Yao Rong's second novel "Light Years" was also released.

With the foundation of the first part, even if the promotion of the second part is not as big as the first part, its performance is still very impressive.

At the same time, Yao Rong also received a long-awaited call.

The call was from Tiangong Vision.

A year ago, Yao Rong invested all the compensation money Xu Weiheng received and the notice fee for "Dear Family" in Tiangong Vision, a special effects company, and acquired technology shares. After a year

of research and development, Tiangong Vision finally developed the latest special effects technology.

"This special effects technology can achieve naked eye 3D to a certain extent. According to our investigation, this special effects technology is at least five years ahead of the world's top level."

The current 3D technology of movies requires wearing 3D glasses to watch.

Wearing 3D glasses is still friendly to audiences who don't wear glasses, but for those who already wear glasses, it is a heavy burden to clip a pair of lenses on top of their glasses.

And if the lenses are not clamped properly, the experience will be terrible.

Naked-eye 3D technology can get rid of the burden of 3D glasses.

Therefore, naked-eye 3D technology is the next big move for the entire film industry, but this technology has not been able to achieve a good breakthrough.

The results of Tiangong Vision's research have finally achieved a breakthrough in related fields.

Pei Rou of Tiangong Vision said excitedly: "Do you want to come and see it for yourself?"

If it weren't for Yao Rong's financial investment, Tiangong Vision would have been sold to them a long time ago.

If it weren't for Yao Rong's technical investment, no matter how talented they were, they would not be able to achieve technological leaps and bounds in such a short time.

So for Yao Rong, Pei Rou and others have always been very grateful, and want to thank her in person.

Yao Rong glanced at the calendar: "Then I'll go there tomorrow."

Pei Rou was happy: "Great! We'll book a flight for you!"

"Okay." Yao Rong smiled and made another request, "I'll take my son there. Don't tell him about my technology investment, so as not to scare him."

Although it was unknown why Yao Rong made this request, since she had brought it up, Pei Rou naturally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Yao Rong went to the next door to find Xu Weiheng and asked him if he wanted to go to L City to see the excitement.

"What excitement?"

Yao Rong remained mysterious.

Xu Weiheng saw that he couldn't get the point, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, just follow Ms. Yao.

As soon as she got out of L City Airport, Yao Rong saw a man in his twenties wearing heavy black-framed glasses standing in the crowd, holding a sign that read "Welcome Sister Yao."

She waved at the man and walked over with Xu Weiheng, who was fully armed.

The man was naturally Pei Rou.

Pei Rou was so excited that she was at a loss. She followed Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng and shook hands one by one: "Thank you for your hard work along the way!"

Yao Rong: "It's not hard. You didn't have to wait for long."

"Fortunately, I just arrived a while ago." Pei Rou explained, "I came to pick you up. They stayed at the company and said they wanted to give you a surprise."

Pei Rou diligently helped Yao Rong take the luggage, and asked Yao Rong if she was thirsty, and he went to buy some water.

Xu Weiheng muttered to himself: Who is this person? Why does he look a little unreliable?

But when Yao Rong started to talk business with Pei Rou, that unreliable feeling disappeared instantly.

When talking about her professional field, Pei Rou seemed particularly calm.

Xu Weiheng sat in the back seat of the car, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong: What naked-eye 3D technology? What investment?

Oh, Ms. Yao seemed to have told him that she wanted to invest the money.

But he didn't expect her to invest the money in a special effects company, let alone that this special effects company actually produced such amazing results!

Still in a daze, Xu Weiheng followed Yao Rong and Pei Rou to Tiangong Vision.

As soon as they got off the car, Xu Weiheng and Yao Rong were welcomed by everyone.

Of course, at this time, Yao Rong was the protagonist, and Xu Weiheng was just a bystander.

Seeing himself being squeezed out of Yao Rong's side, Xu Weiheng shook his head and simply moved to the corner to make room.

But he was a little confused: whether it was Pei Rou or other people in Tiangong Vision, their enthusiasm for Ms. Yao seemed... to exceed the boss's enthusiasm for investors?

After being welcomed by everyone, Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng came to the top floor of the company.

The heavy metal door slowly opened, and a new era of movies appeared in front of Xu Weiheng.

It was a world of flowers and plants.

In the spacious room, without the help of any glasses, Xu Weiheng saw the flowers and plants waving in the vast grassland at a glance, so lifelike that he subconsciously walked forward and reached out to touch it.

But it was like catching the moon in the water, and he touched nothing.

Looking at the empty palm, Xu Weiheng suddenly came back to his senses.

"How is it!" Pei Rou and others were satisfied after seeing Xu Weiheng's reaction.

Xu Weiheng closed his palms and exclaimed: "Amazing."

Yao Rong walked around the room and praised: "You are more efficient than I thought."

She originally thought that even with the model she gave, it would take Pei Rou and others at least two years to achieve such results.

Unexpectedly, just over a year later, they gave her such a big surprise.

After receiving Yao Rong's praise, Pei Rou and others almost couldn't stop smiling.

Afterwards, Pei Rou introduced some details of this technology to Yao Rong and Xu Weiheng.

Of course, it was mainly for Xu Weiheng.

However, Yao Rong listened carefully for a long time and found that this era is not short of smart people, what they lack is the insight to look at the plan from a high place. Pei Rou and his team did not develop the technology completely according to the model she gave, but made certain innovations on the basis of the model, so that the development time could be shortened.

After visiting all the technologies, it was time for lunch.

During lunch, Xu Weiheng quietly asked Yao Rong: "Why do they admire and appreciate you so much?"

Yes, this enthusiasm is more like a kind of admiration and gratitude.

Yao Rong only said half of the words: "Before I invested in Tiangong Vision, they had already decided to sell this company."

So that's it.

Xu Weiheng understood, and then heard Yao Rong say: "Aren't you curious about how many shares I have in this company?"

"How much?"

"Thirty percent."

Thirty percent...

Suddenly, Xu Weiheng seemed to think of something, and his heart beat violently.

He swallowed and said, "Well, how much is the naked-eye 3D technology worth?"

Yao Rong joked, "It's worth a lot of money. If you don't want to act anymore, just retire and inherit the family business."

Xu Weiheng: "..."

This was a path he had never imagined.

After lunch, Pei Rou asked eagerly: "Sister Yao, should we announce this achievement immediately?"

Yao Rong asked: "This technology should not be very mature yet."

Pei Rou scratched her head, but Yao Rong saw through her: "Yes, it cannot be applied to movies for the time being. According to the current progress, it will take at least half a year to successfully produce a naked-eye 3D movie."

Yao Rong's heart moved: "Why don't we cooperate with the film company?"

"Cooperate on what?"

"Cooperate to shoot a new movie." Yao Rong explained, "It takes at least half a year from the establishment of the project to the completion of the shooting. This time is enough for our technology to mature."

Pei Rou's eyes lit up: "Which film company?"

"Just... Blue Shadow."

Blue Shadow is one of the largest film production companies in the country.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Blue Shadow is also the mortal enemy of Director Chen's company.

***

Yao Rong contacted Lan Zhiying as an investor of Tiangong Vision.

For this reason, Yao Rong stayed in L City for a while longer.

After Lan Zhiying got the news, she couldn't sit still and proposed to come to Tiangong Vision for inspection. Yao Rong readily agreed.

With the core technology in hand, she didn't worry at all that the person in charge of Lan Zhiying would be tempted.

That night, the person in charge of Lan Zhiying came to Tiangong Vision.

After walking around the top floor, the person in charge of Lan Zhiying immediately pulled Yao Rong to discuss the new movie.

The negotiation between the two parties went very smoothly. Yao Rong provided the script and special effects technology, while Lan Zhiying was responsible for filming and attracting investment.

"I heard that Director Chen Shuangqiu is preparing a new movie recently?" Yao Rong asked casually while stirring the coffee in front of him.

After all, he was his competitor, and the person in charge of Lan Zhiying knew him very well.

"The project was approved a few days ago. It seems to be called "Endless Darkness", and it's about a doomsday disaster movie. By the way, I wonder what the theme of Ms. Yao's new script is?"

"My new script..." Yao Rong dragged out her words, leaving the question unanswered, "It's also about the end of the world. If everything goes well, our movie should coincide with "Endless Darkness."

The theme and release date were the same. The person in charge of Blue Shadow glanced at Yao Rong and thought she did it on purpose.

Yao Rong picked up the coffee and took a sip, smiling in a way that made it hard to tell.

"Of course, no problem."

The person in charge of Blue Shadow thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

***

After seeing off the person in charge of Blue Shadow, Yao Rong also set off back to City D under the reluctant gaze of Pei Rou and others.

After returning home, Yao Rong began to prepare the script of the movie "Sinking Dust":

In 2100 AD, as a month-long rainstorm swept the world, all the plants on the land of Blue Star died instantly.

It was found that the rainstorm brought a certain kind of dust.

The dust merged into the air and changed the genes of the plants themselves.

Because the dust merged into the air, it didn't take long for the indoor plants to wither one after another, and because the ecological balance was severely damaged, a large number of animals died.

Therefore, humans embarked on the pace of looking for green plants again.

The male protagonist who was a special forces soldier, the female protagonist who is a botanist, and the male second who is an 18-year-old computer genius are one of the teams sent out.

…

The plot itself was not complicated. Yao Rong worked overtime and finished the first draft of the script in just over half a month, and then spent another half a month on fine-tuning it.

After receiving the script she sent, Lan Zhiying acted very quickly and began to form a crew.

After the crew was formed, the director strongly invited Xu Weiheng to play the role of the second male lead.

Because it took a lot of time to form the crew, when "Sinking Ai" started filming, it was the coldest month of winter. At that time, as long as Xu Weiheng's role was concentrated, it could be guaranteed that all his roles would be filmed during the winter vacation.

So Xu Weiheng accepted the contract without even reading the script.

Yao Rong teased: "Aren't you afraid that the script is unreliable?"

Xu Weiheng asked back with confidence: "How can the script you wrote be unreliable?"

He is a loyal fan of Ms. Yao's books!

"Director Chen is currently filming "Endless Darkness". How do you feel about missing the leading role in "Endless Darkness" and having to play the second male lead in "Sinking"? "

"I feel very happy."

Xu Weiheng closed the physics book in his hand, sat sideways, put his hands on the back of the chair, rested his head on his arms, and looked at Yao Rong.

"The second male lead in "Sinking" is an 18-year-old computer genius. The second male lead in "2050Ⅱ" is also the same. Is this a coincidence or did you do it on purpose?"

Yao Rong spread his hands: "Do you believe it's a coincidence?"

"...Okay, of course not."

Yao Rong smiled, and then said seriously: "When I decided to become a science fiction writer, I actually had another plan."

"What plan?"

"When the time is right, I will choose to invest in shooting a doomsday disaster movie. I will use this movie to tell Director Chen and all the audience what kind of results will be produced when a doomsday disaster movie brings together excellent directors, screenwriters and special effects technology."

And now, naked-eye 3D technology has been successfully developed.

Now is the most appropriate time.

While Xu Weiheng was stunned, Yao Rong leaned down slightly and stroked his soft hair like every time before.

"I will use this movie to tell Director Chen and the world that you playing the second male lead in a movie will not only not drag down the movie, but will become the biggest highlight of the movie."

This is her selfish desire. It is

also the reason why she tried her best to promote this cooperation.

Xu Weiheng pursed his lips, and after a long time, he gently held Yao Rong's hand on his head.

"I will definitely not let you down."
