Chapter 150 I Can Regret
Fu Yao's actions were not just to sever the father-son relationship with Zhou Haolin.
As for Master Wu, he also took action.
Mr. Wu's father and the most promising uncle in the family were taken away for investigation.
It goes without saying that the family that can raise a child like that has such upbringing and how clean it can be.
There is a 100% chance that those who are taken away will never come back.
The Wu family collapsed just like that.
Within half a month, Master Wu went from being a distinguished young man to a poor boy in poverty.
Relying on his meager family assets, which were barely bigger than a lean camel's, he was sent abroad and lived in hiding.
Their family didn't even know who did it. Fu Yao's influence was all abroad. What's the difference between sending people abroad and sending them into a fire pit?
This shows how weak his family's strength is.
If giving up Zhou Haolin can be considered as turning the tables on Zhou Wenqu and dealing with Master Wu, then it does indeed show Fu Yao's own attitude.
"He's not that upright, but he needs to make this statement as a token of his loyalty."
After Ye Mengyu finished the publicity and completed the backlog of work, he slept for a few days and finally rested.
When she returned to her parents' home with her husband and child and brought up the matter of the Wu family, this was how the scumbag father evaluated Fu Yao's actions.
"A letter of surrender? To whom?"
Ye Mengyu didn't understand.
Mr. Jiang, still using his chopsticks to help his wife pick out fish bones, replied without even looking up, "Leaders won't allow one person to dominate any field. Boss Fu is demonstrating his ability to balance the Zhou family."
"The Zhou family has been split into seven parts, and our father is no longer the richest man. He has even fallen out of the top 30 on this year's rich list. How can one person dominate the company?"
"But with Mr. Zhou holding half of the shares, he's already in the top 30. Furthermore, you're now the richest family, with total assets not reduced but increased by 10%. More importantly, the company established by my eldest brother is completely independent of the Zhou family, aside from some overlapping shareholders. It's a separate enterprise, so it's already in the top 200..."
Mr. Jiang explained it very clearly.
Dad added, "In some ways, your marriage is no secret. Xiao Jiang's absence from the rankings doesn't affect his status as the richest man. According to marriage law, you own half of the assets. If that's included in the family fortune, then we're truly the only one in the family."
"Oh, but the marriage law recognizes prenuptial agreements. I have nothing to do with Mr. Jiang's half of his wealth. After the divorce, I'll only have 500 million in separation settlement, not enough to invest in a movie... This target feels a bit unfair."
What the hell?
And a prenuptial agreement?
The scumbag father's eyebrows immediately stood up. He pushed the baby into his daughter's arms, stood up and went to the study. Before leaving, he glared at Jiang Fanyu and said, "I need to make a phone call."
Jiang Fanyu was very perceptive. Half a minute after he left, he stood up and said, "I'll go see if Dad needs any help."
Ye Mengyu was confused and had no idea what they were up to.
She looked at the baby, then at the table full of barely touched dishes, and her mother, Ms. Ye, who ate without a word. "Let men sort out their own affairs. Mom, your favorite baby cabbage."
Ms. Ye secretly shook her head and complained in her heart, "Fortunately, she can rely on her inner voice to cheat, otherwise, how can she be better than Zhou Haolin? This brain, sigh..."
My mom has such a great attitude. She's so calm even when faced with such a big thing. But being everyone's favorite is such a blessing. Whenever something happens to my mom, Grandpa and Dad don't put me first. I'm so jealous. Never mind. She's my mom after all, so she's more favored than me, so let her be. She was everyone's favorite first, and then I was. Thank you, Mom, for protecting me. Oh, come to think of it, since we escaped danger this time, doesn't that mean Mom won't have to die? Is she safe now?
After listening to the baby's voice, Ye Mengyu said that he was not that optimistic.
Fu Yao's attitude was just an attitude. At most, he showed that he wanted to establish himself through open strategies rather than secretive means.
The best way to think about it is that there is no need to worry about Zhou Haolin being disabled. He can no longer make waves. His scumbag father will never let him be used by others again. He will definitely arrange for someone to keep him under secret watch.
The limit is that Zhou Xuran and her daughter can be intimidated for a period of time and dare not use any tricks again.
I wonder if they can resist resorting to despicable means if their open plan fails and they are forced into a corner.
Indeed, as Ye Mengyu thought, Zhou Xuran competed with her more and more crazily, trying to surpass her in everything and suppress her.
"They've got a period drama project going on over there, and they've hired Director Wang, and they've hired Writer Sun, who's as famous as Writer Liu, to write the screenplay. They've bought the copyright to a popular online novel, and they're going to film two versions, first an online short and then a long series for the platform and satellite TV. They've invested a lot of money, and they're really serious about making it a success."
Sister Luan brought new news.
This is because we know that her next drama is a period drama, so it was launched in conjunction with the schedule.
There was no time to create an original script, so I just bought the copyright.
It is also riding on the popularity of period dramas brought about by "Annual Rings".
"She probably thought I had to act it out myself, didn't she?"
When Ye Mengyu heard that Zhou Xuran was going to take the lead role, he laughed.
Sister Luan also laughed, "Of course it is. After all, we've filmed two movies, and you've been the female lead in both. News of the next movie has already spread throughout the industry, and everyone is vying for this huge pie. There's been a gap of more than a year in between."
Who would have thought that Ye Mengyu would actually take a break for a year and a half and not strike while the iron is hot to bring in newcomers, but instead directly let Qiao Xing, who had just entered the first line, take the lead in bringing in the newcomers.
"I'm afraid I can't take a year off. The script Director Kong gave me for this domestic drama is so good, I really want to act in it."
The story of a merchant girl who marries into a marquis's mansion and becomes the mistress. She is looked down upon by the impoverished marquis's family, and she battles wits and courage with the people in the mansion who want to steal her million-dollar dowry but are unwilling to lower their status as a wealthy family.
The story also involves a husband who had a mistress before marriage. The mistress was a green tea prostitute who had been convicted of a crime and had already given birth to an illegitimate child. After the child entered the house, the husband fought with the maid and concubines.
In the end, the heroine secured her position as mistress, gave birth to her own child, and only her child and a few loyal concubines were left in the mansion. She was given an imperial decree and lived a life of wealth and honor, enjoying all the glory.
Those who fight with her or are unfaithful to her will not have a good ending.
There is no whitewashing of the scumbag, and there is not even any love affair. The heroine is sober and has a clear goal, which is to do what the father of the richest man in Jiangnan said, that the money is too much to spend, and they want to cross the class and let their descendants become real rich and noble children.
That's why he specifically chose a down-and-out marquis' family. The status was high enough, but also poor enough. The old lady and the young marquis were shameless enough not to be laughed at for marrying a merchant's daughter. They were also greedy and cold-blooded enough that they only wanted to calculate the dowry after marrying the merchant's daughter and didn't want to keep her.
It's about the internal conflicts and the human nature.
"The female lead is so well-designed, and everyone in the cast is intelligent, even the maids are shrewd and calculating. The doorman picks his side based on the winds of fortune. There are foreshadowings everywhere, and every step is calculated. No character is just a decoration, and nothing happens without purpose. Everything is interconnected. If you don't act like this, you'll really be missing out."
House fighting is very popular now, and the theme of the mistress is even more popular. With the quality assurance of Director Kong's team, it is unacceptable that this film will not be a hit."
The great director is great because, after bringing about the trend of period dramas, he turned around and went to another field, without any attachment to the popularity he created. Nor did he let the capital sway him to make a film with the same theme for money, and then leave after making a lot of non-food.
So decisive.
"And I'm sure this will be another great turnaround for Director Kong."
The great thing about this awesome person is that in his decades-long career as a director, he has almost never made repeated works. Even if they are on the same subject, they must have different angles and completely different settings.
"I'm sure there's no problem on my end. I fully support your desire to work. But didn't you tell Mr. Jiang that you wanted to take the baby to kindergarten?"
"Oh, you can always regret it."
"You are such a good wife and mother!"
…
When she got home that night, Miss Ye's acting skills exploded, "Honey, what should I do? Director Kong's new play is so good, I really want to act in it..."
Mr. Jiang's heart trembled when he saw her like this. How could he refuse? If he didn't agree, who knows what kind of trouble she would have later. "Okay, okay, if you have a script you like, your husband will definitely support you. I heard that Director Kong is very strict with actors, so you should be mentally prepared. By the way, what is the script?"
The baby next to me, who was trying hard to crawl and exercise his arm strength, stopped and sat on the mat and listened quietly.
"'The Mistress of the Marquis' Mansion', a story of domestic strife. The heroine is the daughter of the richest man. In order to achieve a class transition, she marries into the Marquis' Mansion with a dowry of one million taels of silver..."
Then it tells the story of how the heroine fights against her mistress, mother-in-law, concubines, uses one faction to fight another, schemes against her husband, illegitimate children, and illegitimate brothers and sisters until she becomes the final winner.
Ahhh, "The Mistress of the Marquis's House," isn't this the perfect drama to watch while eating in the book, the one netizens claim to review more than ten times a year, the one with the white moonlight that knows her lines better than the protagonist? Mom, mom, I have to act in this, my lifelong livelihood is guaranteed, this drama will guarantee a lifetime of wealth and prosperity, and no worries about food and clothing. Oh my, why can't I speak yet?
We can't give the opportunity to the green tea actress. She is the mother of the heroine. She married into a small wealthy family through this drama, and it was all thanks to the role filter that won the approval of her mother-in-law. Later, the heroine also gained a group of hereditary fans from the eldest brother.
Before Jiang Fanyu expressed his opinion, his daughter was already so excited that she sat there and kept calling "Mom, Mom" over and over.
"It sounds good. Although I personally don't like this type of subject matter, the pacing sounds good, with layers of progression, a complete plot line, and no desensitizing plot points. Is the screenwriter still Mr. Liu?"
Ye Mengyu shook his head. "This time the screenwriter is Teacher Liu's wife, Teacher Danyang. Teacher Danyang is best at writing about women, and is also good at costume dramas."
Jiang Fanyu nodded in agreement. "I've heard that Teacher Danyang is best at similar themes. Female screenwriters are also better at writing about women's struggles and resilience. This team is considered the top of the line in the TV drama industry. If you want to act, then go ahead. I have to support you and will accompany you to the crew when the time comes."
Ahhh, Dad is the tallest, Dad is so handsome! I really want to see the set of that epic drama. I wonder if there are any kid-friendly roles I could try out as a guest star? I could brag about having a masterpiece at the age of one for the rest of my life, hahahaha. Who isn't a legendary figure with a story to tell...?
Well……
The couple listened to the brazen words of their son with a frown on their faces.
"I don't think I'll need to follow the crew this time. From what Director Kong said, we're going to shoot at a film studio in the suburbs of Beijing. The script has the heroine using her keen business sense to spot unusual weather, stock up on coal for the winter, and make a killing. The capital is in the north, so filming there will definitely be more convenient. By the way, didn't your company invest in a film studio in the suburbs of Beijing to recreate the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties? How far along are they?"
The film and television city has scenes of the Forbidden City and Along the River During the Qingming Festival.
There are more than a dozen film and television studios in various places, and some film crews stay in the local area as tourist attractions after they are assembled and used.
The Beijing Film and Television City has been under construction for decades. Located in the mountains, the land isn't valuable, primarily because Beijing already has enough authentic scenery; there's no need for fakes. It lacks the value of subsequent tourism, which is why it hasn't developed.
In recent years, the entertainment industry has been able to make a lot of money, and there are too many crews.
Many film and television cities have started to develop again because they are not worried about no one renting the properties.
"Two-thirds of it is built, enough for filming."
That’s great, I don’t have to travel.
