Cannon fodder whose lives are controlled are trying to rewrite their destinies. (13 requests)
After appeasing Chen Lihui, Chen Xia was about to have the small system take action to reduce the heat when the government suddenly intervened, permanently banning those marketing accounts that fabricated rumors and thrived on chaos online. The action was so swift that it caught everyone off guard.
"It seems some marketing accounts have really messed up!"
"There's a lot more to this than meets the eye!"
"You know it's deep, why don't you shut up, you idiot."
Banning the account doesn't mean the past is wiped clean. Chen Xiaohua has hired a professional legal team at a high price. They have already saved screenshots of the posts published by those marketing accounts and will sue them directly once they have prepared the materials.
So what if it's a time-consuming lawsuit? She can afford it. She'll hire a professional legal team to handle it, and none of those trolls will get away with it.
Don't think that the internet is a lawless place. As long as she can afford it, there are plenty of lawyers to collect evidence. It just takes more time and money.
After the government took swift and decisive action, major official media outlets and Douyin accounts posted photos of Chen Xia's donation records and long lines of transport trucks over the years.
To complete his missions quickly, Chen Xia would often donate a batch of transport vehicles along with supplies to remote border areas. After all, he was delivering supplies; who could argue that the vehicles weren't considered donated supplies?
Several large private enterprises in China also followed suit, releasing information on their official websites.
"Warmest congratulations to Ms. Chen Xia, the major shareholder of our company, for the animated film she produced, which has surpassed 2.5 billion yuan at the box office! We look forward to seeing more of Ms. Chen Xia's excellent works in theaters in the future!"
The sixth princess also released a personal interview clip of Chen Xia, which finally cleared up all the doubts in everyone's mind.
The interview took place in the rest area of Xingxia Animation Workshop. The host had learned about Chen Xia's wealth background when they went over the script beforehand, so he asked her with a smile.
"Many people online are curious about your secret to amassing a fortune of hundreds of billions at such a young age. Would you be willing to tell us?"
"There's nothing inconvenient about it; it's all a legacy from my elders. This elder is my maternal great-uncle, named Song Yu."
In that era of war and turmoil, my great-uncle, like many ambitious young people, went abroad to study, hoping to return and serve his country.
As a result, the ship he was on had an accident. He was lucky; although he was injured, he eventually made it to the United States and later settled in Switzerland.
Because of his injury, my great-uncle forgot all his previous memories, but he was very talented in business and a financial genius. With a gold bar he found hidden in his clothes and his keen intuition, he quickly amassed a huge fortune.
Unfortunately, because of that injury, my great-uncle never had any children of his own. In his later years, he accidentally slipped and bumped his head, which miraculously restored his memories of his youth. He remembered who he was and his relatives in China.
Because of his injury, my great-uncle asked friends in China to help him find his relatives there. Unfortunately, his parents and his sister, my maternal grandmother, had already passed away by then.
This blow worsened his condition. By the time he recovered and wanted to return to China to find his only niece, my mother also had an accident.
On his deathbed, my great-uncle's lawyer contacted me. After making his will, leaving all his property to me, he passed away.
This is the real reason I suddenly became rich: an overseas inheritance that fell from the sky. Doesn't it sound like a scene from a novel?
"It's not just similar, it's practically identical. Can you describe what it feels like to suddenly receive a huge overseas inheritance?"
Chen Xia laughed: "It felt really incredible. I thought to myself, today is not April Fool's Day, there is no red rain falling from the sky, and the sun is rising from the east."
Why would anyone call me with a prank or scam call? Do you think I'm that easily fooled?
The host asked, "And then?"
“I just listened quietly to his nonsense while holding the phone, and then I told him that I was so poor that I owed more than a billion yuan, and that my kidneys were about to be cut off. I told him to find someone else to scam and then I hung up the phone.”
The host then asked, "And then what happened?"
"They kept contacting me after that. Once I confirmed that they weren't scammers, that the inheritance was real, and that there were no debt traps involved, it would be a lie to say I wasn't excited."
After all, who hasn't fantasized about winning the lottery and becoming rich overnight, or about receiving a huge inheritance when reading novels?
However, when the bank card the lawyer gave me was continuously deposited with assets amounting to billions, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.
My mood was like a rollercoaster, plummeting from hilarious to rock bottom. I don't know how to describe that feeling; maybe it was the psychology of a poor person suddenly becoming rich—there was joy, but mostly anxiety.
After all, this is no small sum of money. It's great to have such a windfall, but I always felt like I couldn't handle it. Maybe it's because I'm used to being poor, but at first I didn't even know how to spend this money.
I've tried buying houses, cars, and all sorts of luxury goods that I couldn't afford before. But I've found that no matter how many houses I buy or how luxurious they are, I only live in the same one most of the time.
The empty house makes me feel a little scared. I regret that I acted impulsively and bought so many houses. I don't know what I was thinking back then, I just kept buying the biggest ones.
Courtyard houses, old Western-style buildings, grand castles—buying them is a momentary thrill, but maintaining them is a nightmare. Seriously, I've never lived in any of those houses; they just sit there collecting dust, and I can't sell them even if I wanted to.
I'm just popping in here to advertise. I own several properties in Beijing and Shanghai, listed with XX real estate agency. If you're interested in buying or renting them out, please contact the agency after seeing this.
"Name your price for one set, and I'll give up!"
"Let me tell you about one in Beijing. I bought that five-courtyard siheyuan that had been on the market for a long time, priced at 1.9 billion. It's been renovated and upgraded now. I'll invite you over for tea another day."
"Then it's a deal, a five-courtyard house. Ah, I've even dreamed of buying one."
"Besides buying a house, I also bought a car. When I was test driving it, I realized that I'm really just a country bumpkin who can't handle fine food."
Those cool sports cars that cost tens of millions, when I sit in them, it feels like sitting on the floor. Seriously, it's incredibly uncomfortable.
Later I bought an SUV, the Maybach that someone online, who claimed to be one of my alumni, mentioned as the one that picked me up and dropped me off.
My cousin, who is also my business partner, was driving. The car was registered in her name; I hadn't gotten my driver's license yet at the time.
I love beautiful clothes, bags and shoes, and I have collected quite a few at home. However, I prefer comfort on weekdays, and on weekends I can run around the house in my pajamas and feel so comfortable.
Those delicate and pretty dresses, for a tech geek like me with a fear of going out, seem to only look good hanging in the closet, and are only worn for taking photos.
You mean to say I'm dressed appropriately now, right? With the movie releasing, I need to do promotions and interviews, and as the boss of Xingxia, of course I need to look my best. I'm the studio's brand ambassador now.
"Here's a question everyone's been asking: Does your studio operate on a 996 or 007 schedule?"
"Normally it's 996, but because of the tight schedule, we often have to work overtime. We get overtime pay, which I can't say how much, but it's very high."
Then we had free single dorm rooms, and I bought a building in a neighborhood near the studio to use as staff dormitories.
Two-bedroom apartments are shared by two people, and three-bedroom apartments are shared by three people. If an employee is married and has children, then each person lives in a separate apartment.
The residential area is very close to the studio; it takes about 20 minutes to walk, 10 minutes by bicycle, and about 5 minutes by electric scooter.
After all, our entire creative process was very difficult and tiring. The script had to be polished again and again, and each discussion meeting was like a denunciation meeting, with heated arguments.
Many people might think that making animated films is much easier than making live-action films.
In their view, animation is all drawn; with a few strokes of a pen and a few clicks of a mouse, characters can fly and dive, and scenes can be switched at will.
Live-action films, on the other hand, require finding suitable actors, building sets, and dealing with all sorts of unexpected situations.
To be honest, I thought so too before I started making animation. But after actually getting involved, I realized it's much harder than making live-action movies.
In live-action films, actors can interpret characters through their facial expressions and body language, allowing the audience to directly experience the characters' joys, sorrows, and other emotions.
All the emotions and personalities of animated characters have to be drawn frame by frame by the artist.
Take a simple smile, for example. You see, in real life, all it takes is a slight upturn of the corners of the mouth. The only difference is whether the smile looks good or not.
Animators, however, have to consider the character's facial structure, muscle direction, and even the effect of light hitting the face in order to draw a just-right smile that allows the audience to truly feel the character's emotions.
This is just a drop in the ocean of the animated film production process. As the saying goes, every profession has its own secrets, and you only realize how difficult it is to make an animated film once you actually get involved.
Many times, you have to work your butt off and stretch your tiptoes to reach that ceiling.
The details in the animation, and the amazing fighting effects, were all the result of the team working tirelessly and giving it their all.
Back then, everyone on the team was pulling all-nighters; who had the time to put on makeup and dress up? Not wearing pajamas to work was already the greatest respect you could show to the job.
"Some people online say that your donation of all your money is a pretense of high ideals. What do you think about this?"
Chen Xia thought for a moment and said, "I never said that I donated all the money; I only donated the cash portion."
Besides cash, my great-uncle left me shares in several companies, some in China and most overseas. This is the source of my confidence to donate all 100 billion yuan.
I don't believe you can call me a hypocrite; I'm just an ordinary person, a common person who loves money and enjoys life. Before I graduated from high school, I never had any money in my pocket.
This is a statement, not an exaggeration. It's true, because I come from a single-parent family, my mother is extremely strict with me.
I don't have any pocket money because my mom says she'll buy me whatever I need, and all I need to do is study hard; I don't need pocket money.
From first to ninth grade, my mom was always my math teacher. Although she stopped teaching me math in high school, she was transferred to the logistics office of the high school I attended, and she would pass by our classroom several times a day.
Under her strict control, I had almost no friends growing up, and I never went out to play with classmates or friends.
