Chapter 242 Zhang Qian's Defenses Broken; The Great Sage Sets a Record; Recruiting People Overseas; "Man Jiang Hong"; Divine Medicine
Hu Wei, who also bought a house in Qinyuan, is enjoying great success today!
It wasn't a big affair, but everything that was necessary was there.

The Qin Garden house alone is enough to make Wang Lu hold her head high in her parents' home.

Especially Song Dao and Lin Fei are here too!

This highly private, top-tier residential community has recently become increasingly popular.

As a high-end real estate and top-tier luxury residence, Qinyuan's sales team would naturally not use "Song Dynasty residents live here" as a promotional gimmick.

But there will always be some fans who follow you, or people who happen to run into you, who will spread the news!
Even though it's hard to find, the presence of famous people and their influence will create a significant clustering effect as long as Song arrives here.

Recently, not only the entertainment industry, but also many wealthy people in the financial and gaming industries have shown great interest in this community.

The fact that Hu Wei was able to buy a house here is itself a testament to his financial strength.

The most shocking thing was his group of classmates.

Two years ago, these people attended the wedding of Hu Wei's ex-girlfriend, Zhang Qian.

At the time, many people were particularly envious of Zhang Qian.

I think she married well!

She went from being a "small-town girl" to living in a large villa.

Many people even believe that even though it was her second marriage, Zhang Qian's decision to leave Hu Wei was the right one.

Her husband, as a senior executive with shares in Starry Sky Films, is undoubtedly wealthy and influential.

Zhang Qian, if not married into a wealthy family, is at least a rich wife.

On the other hand, what about Hu Wei?
Singing in a bar.

Even if she could earn tens of thousands a month, would that amount of money be enough for Zhang Qian to buy a beauty salon membership card once?

Is that enough for a big meal?
When will I be able to drive a sports car?
When can we stand tall in front of our family and friends?
and so.

People go to higher places.

What's wrong with wanting a better life?

But no one expected that in just two years, Hu Wei would turn his life around!
She rose to fame quickly and has recently become a top-tier celebrity!
He bought a new house in Qinyuan, a neighborhood that is just as nice as Zhang Qian's.

Many of those who received the invitations learned about the matter after making some inquiries privately.

Everyone sighed with regret.

What made them even more envious was Hu Wei's best man and his wife Wang Lu's...bridesmaids, who also came from the Central Conservatory of Music!

And those industry bigwigs who came!

……

For such a major life event as a wedding, it's not only necessary to invite relatives from both sides, but also former classmates and friends with whom you have a good relationship.

Especially for students from the Central Conservatory of Music, where each class has a small number of students and everyone gets along well, it's essential to invite them.

Hu Wei sent out invitations to these people well in advance.

Zhang Qian is not included.

Inviting an ex-girlfriend (or ex-boyfriend) to a wedding as a "guest" might be something some people wouldn't care about, but not Lao Hu.

It's not that I haven't let go of it.

Actually, Hu Wei had already gotten over his heartbreak when he met Song Dao.

He just didn't want to upset his wife and the guests from her family.

But Zhang Qian still found out.

She also learned from her "best friend" that Hu Wei bought a house in Qinyuan and married Wang Lu, a junior from their school days who played in a band together.

Zhang Qian remained silent in the face of the information "inadvertently leaked" by her "best friends".

He remained silent and lurked in the group chat.

On the morning of the 28th, Zhang Qian, who was in a semi-retired state, was four months pregnant, and was showing a slight bump, got up early.

My husband isn't home.

To be precise, my husband is rarely home.

She drove out of the house in the sports car her husband had bought for her before they got married, speeding all the way to the outside of Qin Garden.

She arrived very early.

It was only a little past five when we arrived here.

Even in the capital city, there weren't many vehicles on the road.

Then I spotted a long convoy of cars parked on the roadside outside Qin Garden.

The lead wedding car was a domestically produced vehicle.

In the past, Zhang Qian would probably have scoffed: "Is that all?"

But in the last two years, her horizons and knowledge have broadened considerably.

It was immediately obvious that it wasn't an ordinary car.

It has a name: "National Gift".

It costs about the same as her husband's Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

During a casual conversation, her husband mentioned that even Rolls-Royces have to give way to cars like this.

Because those who can ride in this kind of car are not ordinary people.

Even purchasing requires strict approval and review.

Even if an ordinary person has money, they can't buy it.

She found it quite funny at the time. It's just a car, why make such a fuss?

Then her husband criticized her very seriously.

"If you ever see this kind of car on the street, and you don't want to cause trouble, you must stay far away from it. Never get into a conflict with it, or not only will I be unable to protect you, but I might also get into trouble!"

Her husband is actually quite good to her. Although he doesn't come home very often, he has never wronged her.

They certainly wouldn't talk nonsense.

She remembered it from then on.

After all, she's a smart woman, not some brainless idiot.

But I never expected to see it here.

Looking at the dignified and elegant car with its antique appearance, she was slightly lost in thought as it was parked across the road.

She didn't know why she came.

What do you want to know?

Ultimately, she couldn't overcome her in-laws' influence and completely faded out of the entertainment industry to settle down as a wealthy housewife.

Now she is pregnant again.

There's nothing wrong with that, is there?

But why is there still a peculiar feeling deep down?

If I were sitting in that car, I would be very happy, right?

She didn't turn off the engine, and the car was playing Hu Wei's classic songs from the past two years, such as "The Moon Caused the Trouble" and "The Rain Keeps Falling," on a loop.

When the song "For You" is played, she will immediately choose the next song.

Zhang Qian didn't wait here for long.

Around 5:30, several luxury vans drove out of the Qinyuan underground parking lot, which separates pedestrians and vehicles.

We drove up to the lead car, which was decorated with fresh flowers.

Then a group of people came down!

First up is Hu Wei, tall, handsome, and dashing in a summery haute couture gown!

Her face was beaming with a smile that Zhang Qian used to know very well.

She sat quietly in the car, and when she saw Hu Wei's smile, she suddenly felt a little dazed.

then.

At the Central Conservatory of Music.

The sweetest period of their relationship.

This kind of smile is very common.

At that time, Hu Wei's heart and eyes were filled with her.

As for Wang Lu?

Haha, she could actually tell back then that the junior student liked Hu Wei.

But what's the use?

Hu Wei belongs to her!
"I never expected that she would actually succeed in the end..."

Zhang Qian suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

She wanted to roll down the car window to get some fresh air, but for some reason, she felt a little guilty.

They were afraid the other person would look at them.

next moment.

Her eyes suddenly widened.

Those guys, who should be the best men, are also wearing Xia Yun haute couture gowns. This... this is a bit unfair, isn't it?

Song Dao's recognizability is just too high!

He stood beside Hu Wei, chatting and laughing with several people.

Zhang Qian recognized those people at a glance.

Qin Ge!

Qin Ge, a top-tier superstar in the film and television industry!
Leng Suning from the Legend of the Vermilion Bird!

In addition, there are two others... who are Hu Wei's closest brothers!

He was also her classmate.

Crucially, there were also two other people standing by the roadside smoking... Sun Kai from Times Media and Wang Xiaobo from Starlight Entertainment!
Oh my God!

What merit or ability does Hu Wei possess?

He wants Song Dao, Qin Ge, Sun Kai, and Wang Xiaobo to be his best men?

Is this all because of Song Dao?
Even if she were to get married, it would be very difficult for her husband, given his status and position, to invite all these people!
If it were really necessary to invite them, it wouldn't be impossible.

But if you're suggesting these people be the best men, you're really overthinking it.

Our relationship isn't that close yet!

soon.

The group then got into the cars.

The convoy slowly drove away.

Zhang Qian sat blankly in the car.

Hu Wei's husky, metallic voice sang with a touch of sadness—

"What can I argue with you about? What I want to keep, you want to forget. The happiness and the pain we shared, what was yours and what was mine, are now wiped clean..."

Two lines of tears unknowingly streamed down Zhang Qian's face.

She turned off the car, then slumped over the steering wheel and began to cry silently.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but the number of vehicles coming and going on the road began to increase, and then she subconsciously looked in that direction.

Then the long convoy returned.

But this time, all of the dozen or so cars actually went into the underground parking lot of Qin Garden.

They must have obtained a temporary pass, right?
With her eyes already red and swollen, Zhang Qian watched the cars disappear from her sight.

Another half hour passed, and these vehicles drove out, presumably heading to the wedding venue.

Almost instinctively, she started the car, stepped on the gas, made a U-turn ahead, and quickly caught up.

The convoy wasn't moving very fast, and there weren't many vehicles in the morning.

She saw it very soon.

Then follow at a distance.

finally.

We arrived at a large manor "hidden" inside the city.

She knew this place; she had wanted to book her wedding here.

They just chose another place later.

She continued to watch from afar.

About ten minutes later.

Their class group chat suddenly became lively.

Wow, that's awesome!

"Wow, Song Dao, Qin Ge, Wang Xiaobo, Sun Kai, and Leng Suning are the best men!"

"My old classmate has such a big presence!"

"Haha, Lao Hu has finally stood up today!"

"I still have to say that Teacher Song gave me face."

"Honestly, President Song has given us way too much face!"

【Photo】【Photo】【Photo】

Her and Hu Wei's classmates in the group started posting photos.

The most active one was that bastard who played "Bitter Heart" at her wedding!
Hu Wei's best buddy, they're inseparable!

I was wondering why he wasn't in the groomsmen group. Turns out it wasn't just because he wasn't handsome enough, he was also waiting for me here, sending me a photo specifically to show me, right?
Ha, you win!
I've broken down, okay?
But then, an even more shocking photo appeared.

First, the chat history quickly flooded the group chat.

"Wow! This bridesmaid group is absolutely amazing!"

"Lin Fei, Yan Yu, Sun Meiqi, Zhong Yutong, Kong Xi, Xue Lin, Chen Meng, Xiang Rui... Wait, why are Han Ling and Zhao Xue here too?!"

"Does anyone in the family understand? A bridesmaid group of ten people, is that really necessary?"

"Wang Lu is so lucky!"

"With a superstar as a bridesmaid, who wouldn't want a boss's wife like that?"

"Hey, do you guys think there's something going on between President Song and Lin Fei?"

"Wang Lu's makeup is really beautiful today, and the key is that even the divas are willing to support her."

"It's so beautiful. Lao Hu is really low-key. He didn't let anyone know beforehand."

"This is absolutely the most beautiful bridesmaid group ever!"

"Han Ling is so beautiful in person! When I saw her on the big screen before, it must have been a deliberate 'makeup effect'!"

"Yes, yes, I was thinking the same thing. I didn't expect Han Ling to be so good-looking. She's almost as good-looking as Lin Fei and Yan Yu!"

"The key thing is that all of these people are so young. Lin Fei is our age, right? How come she looks like a girl in her early twenties?"

"Yes, this is also my first time seeing it up close."

"I definitely have to go up and take a picture with them later!"

"No, that would just make you a supporting character."

"Ha, as if we're not family if we don't take a photo together!"

【Photo】【Photo】【Photo】

Her best friends, damn it, type on their phones so fast, chattering away in the group like a bunch of sparrows.

A large number of photos were uploaded.

Although Wang Lu was dressed up today, she could only outshine the bridesmaids in terms of makeup and styling.

These people are so beautiful!

Lin Fei and Yan Yu are in a league of their own; Han Ling, Kong Xi, Zhong Yutong, Zhao Xue, and Chen Meng are slightly inferior; Sun Meiqi, Xue Lin, and Xiang Rui are even further inferior.

In reality, even Xiang Rui and the others, with a little makeup, are all stunning beauties.

Walking down the street, you'll get a lot of attention.

Han Ling, Kong Xi, Zhong Yutong, Zhao Xue, and Chen Meng are typical goddesses.

In real life, it's extremely rare to encounter such a situation.

As for the two mentioned earlier, they are in a league of their own; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them femme fatales or scourges on the country.

This group of people together is definitely a visually stunning team!
Not to mention Zhang Qian, who was completely devastated, even Wang Lu's relatives were all shocked at this moment.

Everyone knows that Lulu found a good husband. Although she is in the entertainment industry, she is well protected because of her good boss, and she is also very clean herself.

Later, when she learned that Hu Wei had bought a house in a top-tier community like Qinyuan, she was even more satisfied.

To everyone's surprise, the real big surprise came at today's wedding.

The wedding was understated, but its core message was incredibly profound!
The "live broadcast" in the group is still going on.

The "surprises" continue.

Soon, photos of the guests at the event were posted online.

It almost blinded Zhang Qian's swollen eyes.

Qiu Xinyao, Jiang Ying, Shi Yuyan, Hou Tianwei, Zhang Huan, Bi Xuefeng, and even Ma Shen came!

Then there are Xia Hong, Chu Peining, Qin Lang, Yin Hong, Chen Ting, and other high-ranking bigwigs.

The officiant was Li Jun, a titan of the music industry!

In addition, many celebrities in the entertainment industry are friends that Hu Wei has made in the past two years.

They all showed up at the scene.

It was absolutely a constellation of stars!

No wonder everyone in the group was envious of Wang Lu.

……

Hu Wei's "low-key" wedding quickly became a trending topic after these photos were released.

It made headlines immediately!

There was no way around it; there were just too many celebrities there.

Many people also like to post on WeChat Moments.

Netizens were shocked.

The reaction was similar to that of the people in Zhang Qian's classmate group.

"Oh my god, this groomsmen and bridesmaids group is a bit too much, isn't it?"

"Holy crap, is Hu Wei even considered a top-tier star now? This level of influence is absolutely unbeatable!"

"Even if Hu Wei is a top-tier star, he might not have such influence that a superstar, Princess Linchuan, and actress Han Ling would be his wife's bridesmaids. This is clearly because of Brother Gou's influence!"

"Why? This is too much of a show of face!"

"The bridesmaids are so beautiful!"

"I never realized Han Ling was so beautiful!"

"Here's a little-known fact you might not know: Hu Wei isn't just a direct descendant of the Fei Yang faction; he's also the top senior disciple of the entire Fei Yang faction! Do you understand? He's Song Dao's eldest disciple! When his eldest disciple gets married, how could a master not go all out for the grandest occasion?"

"Huh? Hu Wei is Song Dao's eldest apprentice? Isn't he older than Song Dao?"

"In any industry, those who have achieved success are your teachers. Don't forget how Hu Wei rose to prominence."

"How come I remember that, excluding the divas, the first person to write a song for Brother Gou was Kong Xi?"

"It's said that Kong Xi feels she's too young and doesn't want to be Hu Wei's senior sister..."

"It has to be you guys, you know so much!"

"I saw an interview with Hu Wei where he said that he used to sing in bars, and if he hadn't met his mentor, he would never have achieved what he has today. At that time, I naively thought his mentor was Shui Ji San Qian, but later I realized that it was actually Brother Gou!"

"So calling Dog Brother the godfather of the music industry is absolutely true!"

……

Wedding scene.

The simple but solemn ceremony had passed, and Song was now sitting at a table with Wang Xiaobo, Sun Kai, Li Jun, Yin Hong, and others.

Two "real" best men, Lao Hu's two classmates, along with Hu Wei and Wang Lu, and the two girls Xiang Rui and Chen Meng, were going from table to table toasting.

When the toast was offered to Lao Hu's table, all those who had attended Zhang Qian's wedding offered their sincerest blessings.

Many people are filled with deep emotion.

Especially when I saw Wang Lu nestled happily beside Hu Wei, receiving everyone's blessings.

This feeling is even stronger.

As Hu Wei and Wang Lu walked towards Wang Lu's table, someone couldn't help but whisper, "I just saw Zhang Qian's car outside."

"Huh? Is that so?" someone asked in surprise.

Everyone at the table immediately perked up their ears, their faces lighting up with excitement.

"Yes, I saw it too. The license plate of that car belongs to Zhang Qian," another female classmate said.

"Sigh, why bother!" someone sighed.

"Do you think she might have gone to Qin Garden early this morning and followed us all the way here?"

"That's not the case..."

"I think Zhang Qian is capable of doing it, given her personality."

After everyone finished speaking, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

After glancing at the lively scene over Wang Lu's side, the group of people simultaneously raised their cups.

……

"It was my first time being a bridesmaid and my first time attending such a fun wedding. Although it was a bit tiring, it was a lot of fun!"

On the way back, the mature woman, who had just drunk two glasses of red wine, lay back in the reclined chair and said with a smile.

Hu Wei originally planned to arrange another dinner for them and his friends in the industry that evening.

Song stopped them.

Let him take care of his family and Wang Lu's relatives.

They've come all the way to Beijing for the wedding, so we have to take good care of them. As for the celebrities in the industry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Moreover, almost all of those people came because of the names "Song Dao" and Lin Fei.

Song Dao sat behind her, without reclining the chair, leaning forward slightly, and massaged Yan Bao's head with both hands.

"Envy?"

he asked.

"Hmm~~~" The mature woman reacted quickly, drawing out the sound, "I'm not envious at all, I just think it's quite interesting."

Then he asked Lin Fei beside him, "Fei-jie, are you envious?"

Lin Fei thought for a moment: "Just a little bit?"

Yan Yu was somewhat surprised: "Really?"

Lin Fei said, "Really, just a little bit."

Yan Yu paused for a moment, then said, "Then how about..."

Bai Yue had already raised the back partition the moment the three of them got into the car, so she spoke very casually.

Reclining in her chair, Lin Fei said, "That's not what I meant. I just think the wedding dress is very beautiful!"

Yan Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I also think that our traditional bright red Xiuhe dress is really beautiful!"

Song didn't remain silent, but said seriously, "Then I'll give you a wedding like that later!"

"No!" the two women exclaimed in unison.

They may envy each other, but they are still very resistant to the idea of ​​marriage.

Especially in the current situation, it's really absurd to go so far as to marry both of them at a wedding... no, there's also Kong Xi.

You can't possibly have a wedding with three women at once, can you?

They have to be dealt with one by one. Even if Song Dao doesn't care about outside opinions at all, he still has to be completely ruined.

There's absolutely no need to make things difficult for yourself like this.

They had never even considered getting separate marriage certificates.

Times are changing. In this era where people are less inclined to have children, it's incredibly easy for single mothers to register their children's births.

While pressing the head of the mature woman, Song Dao pondered.

Sooner or later, we'll have to give them an explanation.

……

Time flies, and it's now July 2nd.

"Monkey King: Hero Is Back" has grossed over 10 billion yuan in just over 20 days since its release!
The whole country rejoiced!

This animated film completely shattered the perceptions of all Chinese people, and even the entire world!
Before this, no one believed that Xia Country would produce a film that could rank among the top ten in world film history so quickly.

Even more unexpectedly, it only took a little over twenty days.

It's just a mere animated film!

The headquarters building of the "Feiyang Group".

The former conference room of Linchuan Group.

In the presence of various media outlets and employees of the Fei Yang Group, Song Dao arrived with Baozi, Vice President Sun Zhe, Kang Peng, and the two goddesses Yan Yu and Lin Fei.

Together, we smashed that ice sculpture with a "1" followed by a long string of "0"s!

The spotlight flashed crazily.

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

The film's final box office, including overseas revenue, has been estimated by numerous professional evaluation agencies to be over 15 billion!

Some even offered 18 billion!
Xia Guo Publishing Group and Brother Long's overseas channels are very effective.

Unlike Enlight Media, which has weak overseas distribution capabilities in another timeline, the publishing group found very capable partners.

After agreeing on the profit-sharing arrangement, they all provided top-tier publicity and promotion packages.

Among them, Brother Long, Song Dao, and Zhao Zhao, along with other influential figures overseas, also made significant contributions.

Various forms of publicity were launched.

In the Western world, which hasn't changed much, Avatar remains the number one box office hit.

Converted to Xia Yuan, that's over 21 billion.

Second on the list is Avengers: Endgame, which grossed just over 20 billion.

Third is Avatar 2, which grossed 16.8 billion.

Fourth is Titanic, which grossed 16.4 billion.

Up until the top twenty, Asian films had no place at all.

Now, a monkey wielding a golden cudgel sweeps across the battlefield.

In just over twenty days, they were about to break into the top ten.

It's really a morale booster.

Not just in Xia Kingdom, but the whole of Asia was in an uproar.

The top trending topics across the internet are all related to this.

Summer TV's news channel, arts and culture channel, movie channel... mention it almost every day.

Even when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs holds press conferences, those mature, composed, and charismatic diplomats will take the initiative to mention it.

I recommend this animated film, which is full of "Eastern thinking," "Eastern civilization," and "Eastern narrative," to the world.

And more than once.

Reporters from various countries in the audience: Did we ask you that?

Earth Pictures, instant fame!
Song Dao, who was already a leading figure in the music industry, is now incredibly popular.

Reputation is soaring!

The surge was beyond surprising.

It's absolutely stunning!
He even felt that at this rate, it might not even take two months to redeem those two "youth-preserving" pills!
This feeling is so amazing.

In this context, the question arises regarding Earth Pictures' next animated film after "Monkey King: Hero Is Back".

Great attention!

The celebration banquet was a buffet.

Old Jin, who was invited to participate, was beaming with joy.

I feel absolutely awesome!
What's wrong with fixed income?
Is it those returns that Lao Jin values?
What he values ​​is that ticket!
This included Yan Cheng, chairman of the publishing group, who was also invited to attend, along with a group of senior executives.

Everyone has high expectations for the next installment.

Fang Tianlong couldn't come because of other commitments, but he recorded a video message.

Yan Cheng and the others were then personally led by Song Dao to visit the animation production site of Earth Pictures.

Then I saw a short promotional video for "Nezha".

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

In particular, this promotional video, in terms of both storyline and character design, gives people a refreshing feeling.

Even a layman can tell that it is more exquisitely made than "Monkey King"!

"President Song, will this film be released next year?" Yan Cheng looked at the man his niece had chosen with discerning eyes, his face full of smiles and his attitude extremely amiable.

"At the earliest, it should be available by the end of next year," Song replied.

Given Xia Guo's current animation industry foundation, coupled with Song Dao's incredibly complete character designs and plot in his mind, the production time can indeed be significantly reduced. If they really want to speed things up, it should actually be released next year, during the summer season of 28.

However, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Baozi's team.

Even though Baozi wanted to hurry, he still gave her plenty of time.

“That should be enough for the 29 Spring Festival film season!” Jin Qifeng said from the side.

Song nodded.

At this moment, a vice president of a publishing group asked, "President Song, does Earth Pictures only have one film, 'Lurking,' during this period?"

The entire group stared intently at Song Dao.

This god-like young man is like a gold mine with no end in sight.

Even though everyone present knew that "Lurking" was an art-house film adapted from a true story, they were all very confident in its box office performance.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that it's produced by Earth Pictures, written by Song Dao, and directed by Zhang Dao is enough to justify hundreds of millions in box office revenue.

What if Song Dao put his heart into making a live-action commercial film?

Could it also become a huge hit?
The publishing group is not a place where Yan Cheng has absolute power, and of course, people would never easily disagree with his decisions.

So when the decision was made to invest in building the cinema and to invest in "Lurking," many people didn't say anything, but they actually had their own thoughts.

But now, the entire publishing group's top management is more united than ever before!
Regarding the film studio currently under construction, some people have even openly suggested at meetings: "Why not bring Earth Pictures in? That way, we can legitimately invest in their films in the future!"

Faced with the vice president's question, Song Dao smiled and said, "Earth Pictures' animation and live-action film and television projects are separate. Animation production will not affect our live-action film and television projects. We will also have new projects in the future."

The vice president glanced at Yan Cheng, and seeing that the leader didn't react, he smiled and said, "That's great. We're all family. When there are new projects in the future, be sure to let us know."

Jin Qifeng said, "And I, YiNet Group, will become Earth Pictures' most loyal partner!"

Everyone present burst into laughter.

Song asked, "Aren't you afraid the movie will flop and you'll lose all your money?"

"Haha, don't worry, we have full confidence in President Song!" said the vice president of the publishing group.

……

A jubilant atmosphere on the internet.

All social media platforms and various groups are discussing this matter wildly.

"Song Dao is truly amazing! Who would believe that an animated film produced so quietly has actually grossed over 10 billion yuan and is about to break into the top ten highest-grossing films in world film history!"

"Song Dao really made a killing this time!"

"Two years after debuting, a net worth of billions, who else can do that?"

"Although I hate patriotic marketing, I don't mind 'Monkey King' doing patriotic marketing at all!"

“Earth Pictures has never done any patriotic marketing; it was all done spontaneously by us netizens.”

"This is a symbol of the rise of our Xia Kingdom... no, it is a symbol of the rise of our traditional Chinese culture, and it is the pride of every Chinese citizen. It's not that watching 'Monkey King' is patriotic, but rather that we go to the cinema to watch 'Monkey King' because we love our country!"

"It's incredible that a multi-talented musician has accomplished what countless filmmakers have failed to do. I really admire this young man, Song Dao."

"Brothers, let's go! Let's try to get over 15 billion yuan in box office revenue in China, and then get over 5 billion yuan overseas too, and beat the number one box office!"

"You know what, this movie actually has a chance!"

……

"Teacher Song, President Song, Brother Song... Don't stay cooped up at home, let's go visit the set!"

Lao Jin is not very active in external affairs.

Especially in recent years, they rarely speak out online.

But in private, he's quite the playboy.

Having just attended Earth Pictures' "10 Billion Celebration Party," he immediately dragged Song Dao to the set of "Lurking" for a visit.

Song Dao doesn't like to come here much because a large part of the filming location for this drama is located here.

It's overseas!

Whether in his past life or this one, Song Dao didn't have a very good impression of Da Piao Liang.

The air here doesn't smell sweet either.

Even though it's a different world, it hasn't stopped this country from being filled with all sorts of "demons and monsters" and all sorts of bizarre things.

Zero-dollar purchases are a piece of cake.

So initially, when the production team was choosing filming locations, Song Dao didn't even want to film overseas.

It feels so unsafe!
However, 90% of the scenes in this movie take place overseas, and it would be difficult to find suitable locations in a domestic cinema.

Another thing is that, although those film studios have lifted their "ban" on Earth Films.

Recently, with the sudden popularity of "Monkey King", some people have even taken the initiative to fawn over him.

Song still felt a bit uncomfortable with them.

This is something that should be about opening the door to do business, but a bunch of idiots have ruined it.

With ample funding, the cinema invested in by the publishing group is being built at an incredibly fast pace!

In particular, most of the scenes in it were based on the suggestions given by Song Dao.

It is estimated that some of them will be put into use around March or April next year.

Since you've messed with me, don't even think about making money off me anymore, and don't even try to ride on my popularity and influence.

Get as far away from me as you can!

Teacher Song can be quite narrow-minded at times.

Later, Brother Long helped find filming locations and used his personal connections to hire a security company for the crew overseas.

Song was relieved.

Recently, Director Zhang, Zhao Xue, Qin Ge, and others have been filming scenes overseas.

Originally, Song planned to visit the set after they returned and filmed the domestic scenes, but Lao Jin insisted on doing it, even using a private jet, so Song could only reluctantly agree.

This time he only brought Bai Yue; the mature and powerful woman and Fei Jie were both busy and didn't come along.

After more than ten hours of flight, Song Dao saw the vast mountains that had been burned black from the plane.

Ah, the free and democratic United States, a wildfire burns for a year.

Rubbish!

After the plane landed, the group got into the car that Lao Jin had arranged in advance and headed straight to the film set.

After meeting, the male and female protagonists, Qin Ge and Zhao Xue, who had only been back for two days, both looked resentful.

Both of them were quite familiar with Lao Jin.

Qin Ge said, "President Jin, you said you wanted to visit the set, why couldn't you do it a few days earlier?"

Zhao Xuekuang nodded: "That's right, the two of us went back to attend the wedding, and the round trip took so long that we were sick of flying!"

Jin Qifeng looked apologetic and clasped his hands in a fist and bow: "I'm so sorry, it was a last-minute decision. I had to drag Teacher Song here!"

Zhao Xue smiled and glanced at Song Dao: "Then, speaking of which, we have to thank President Jin."

Jin Qifeng was speechless: "So you're happy just seeing Teacher Song?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Ge nodded.

Director Zhang said with a warm smile, "Welcome everyone! I'm happy to see you all!"

The group was then invited inside.

Seeing that there were many foreigners on set, Lao Jin also found it quite novel.

She secretly asked Qin Ge, "Do they know what kind of show this is?"

Qin Ge laughed and said, "Of course I know!"

Old Jin asked, "No objections?"

He had read the script; Qin Ge's portrayal of "Mr. Liang" was so convincing that he didn't even bother to pretend.

Their names are the same as Mr. Liang from the real-life incident!
Although it is called a film, it actually has extremely strong nationalist overtones and possesses documentary and biographical attributes.

In Lao Jin's opinion, Director Zhang and his ilk are all quite "bad," going to America to make this movie.

It's practically a face-to-face attack!
Qin Ge said, "What could they possibly have to say? They're all very happy, saying that 'Liang' is a great man and they admire him greatly!"

Zhao Xue said, "Even the media here are reporting on this matter in a very positive way."

Director Zhang said quietly, "Even ten years ago, I wouldn't have dared to come here to make a film like this. The media here would definitely not have said anything good about it, and might even have incited the people to protest. But now, they are all very happy, after all, our filming here is boosting the local economy and employment."

After exchanging pleasantries for a short while and distributing the large amount of local delicacies that Lao Jin had brought, everyone got back to the intense filming work.

They were filming Qin Ge's scenes at the moment, and Zhao Xue was standing next to Song Dao. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she cautiously asked, "Teacher Song, is Han Ling coming to our company too?"

Looking at the pretty girl, Song Dao nodded: "Yes, they should make an official announcement soon."

Zhao Xue uttered a sound and then fell silent.

Song Dao said, "Are you worried?"

Zhao Xue glanced at her secretly, then smiled and said, "No, my main focus is still on TV dramas, so there's no conflict with her."

Song Dao looked at her and said very frankly, "Han Ling is indeed more suited to the big screen, but you don't need to worry. The company will most likely only have the two of you as top-tier actresses. Whether she wants to film TV series or you want to film movies, there won't be any conflict in terms of resources. Whoever is more suitable can take the role, and there are plenty of stories to tell."

Song Dao spoke very directly, without any attempt to conceal his true intentions.

Zhao Xue listened with a beaming smile.

Nodding vigorously, he said, "I understand, Teacher Song. I love you!"

With a blush on her face, she got up and ran away to prepare for filming.

Just a few days ago, she returned to China to attend Hu Wei's wedding and met her parents who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Although her mother had "let go" and no longer interfered with her daughter's career, she couldn't help but remind Zhao Xue out of her long-standing habit.

Hearing rumors that Han Ling was going to sign with Earth Films...

Teach Zhao Xue to be more sensible and get along better with Song Dao.

This "knowing something" is quite subtle.

If it weren't for Song Dao, Zhao Xue would most likely have lost her temper on the spot.

However, since it was Song Dao, Zhao Xue surprisingly did not refute it.

On the contrary, I thought about it seriously for many days.

Ultimately, they couldn't make up their minds.

She had long liked Song Dao, but she also knew that this super talented man had an ambiguous relationship with Lin Fei and Yan Yu.

So I never made up my mind to push forward.

After all, she is not short of money and has her own pride.

But Song Dao is even more charming now than before!

At a young age, he has already become a big shot in the entertainment industry.

Even behemoths like Times and Starlight are helpless against Song Dao, who has virtually no weaknesses.

She would definitely love to date someone like that.

I'm afraid this is just wishful thinking!

A few days ago, the rumors about Han Ling and Song Dao were all over the place, but at Hu Wei's wedding, she didn't see anything wrong with them.

On the contrary, President Yan and Lin Fei, dressed as bridesmaids, confidently linked arms with Song Dao and posed for photos on either side of each other.

Hmm, something's definitely up!
In this situation, neither she nor Han Ling would be trembling.
Most of them gave up the idea of ​​"going for it".

That's just how she is.

So even though Teacher Song came to visit the set alone today, she didn't dare to say anything.

To boldly and half-jokingly say "I love you" is already the limit.

……

Song and Lao Jin stayed here for more than a week, during which Brother Long flew over.

He was taken to meet some people in Hollywood.

Hollywood has been corrupted by political correctness and is no longer the place where good popcorn movies were plentiful.

However, the foundation of the film industry is still quite impressive.

One of the reasons Song Dao agreed to come was because of this.

He wasn't interested in acquiring film and television companies, but he was very interested in several famous Hollywood animation studios!
With a "what the heck" mentality, they plan to poach some key talents back home.

As mentioned before, the ultimate goal is to cultivate animation industry talent in Xia Country. In the process of achieving this, we can also invite some outstanding mentors!
With Brother Long, a local bigwig, around, the results have been quite remarkable.

After paying a hefty sum to a Hollywood "know-it-all" broker.

They quickly obtained a large amount of information.

Information on key personnel and core talents from several top animation companies is readily available.

They even thoughtfully provided updates on those people's current situations!
This is really impressive.

Song did not delegate this task to outsiders, but instead selected certain targets himself.

I called them one by one myself.

First, I introduced myself.

Then, with the utmost sincerity, communicate fluently with these people in their native language.

These people may not all know Song Dao, but as animators, they all know the awesome Eastern monkey, "Da Sheng".

Upon hearing that he was "the boss of the monkeys," their attitude immediately became exceptionally enthusiastic.

They were all deeply moved by Song Dao's courteous and respectful attitude towards scholars.

Although they all earn decent salaries at their respective companies, things haven't been going well for the past two years.

Some projects have been in development for several years and contain a wide variety of "elements" that drive these pure animators crazy.

In this situation, he was personally invited by a wealthy man from the East, a top upstart in the animation industry, and a record-breaker.

They were speaking their native language with incredible fluency!

Many people immediately said they would seriously consider it.

Several of them even wanted to come and see Song directly.

Being respected and getting paid—what difference does it make who you work for?
In particular, Song Dao also said that the company will launch at least three or four animation projects in the next few years.

This would be great!
After identifying seven or eight industry experts, Song called Zhou Qian.

First, briefly explain the situation, then ask Zhou Qian if she can help resolve the issue of these people's work status in Xia Country.

Zhou Qian readily agreed.

These are all minor matters.

"Work visas are easy to get, and even if you want to become a citizen, as long as you pass the political vetting and there are no problems, I'll take care of everything!"

Zhou Qian expressed her approval of her younger brother's actions, which involved poaching people from overseas and even targeting their most valuable assets.

"Mom said that what you're doing now is similar to what Mr. Liang is doing!"

Having resolved these issues, Song, along with several animation industry heavyweights who had resigned on the spot, bid farewell to Director Zhang, Lao Qin, and Zhao Xue, and boarded Lao Jin's private plane to return to China.

The rest will also fly to Xia Kingdom one after another after resolving their own problems.

When Baozi came back and saw these people, he grinned from ear to ear!

Baozi, who is extremely familiar with the animation industry, knows almost everything about the people Song brought back and those who are about to arrive!

I never imagined that my boss would be so amazing, managing to bring them back from a trip abroad to visit them on set.

These people also admired and were very curious about Baozi.

Most people who truly create content are very simple-minded.

After the two parties met, the communication went very smoothly, and they were both very happy and pleased.

In particular, the accommodations and treatment provided by Song Dao to these people, as well as the various delicacies of Xia Kingdom, made these tech gurus, who could only be "refugees" on the Internet before, fall in love with this mysterious ancient Eastern country in just one or two days.

……

Yan Yu and Lin Fei expressed their admiration and appreciation for Teacher Song's quiet act of digging out someone's genitals.

None of them expected that Song Dao, who was dragged abroad by Lao Jin to visit the set, would actually think of this.

What I didn't expect was that it actually worked.

"This matter is mainly thanks to Brother Long's efforts. His influence over there is even greater than it is in China!"

Song was somewhat moved.

“Of course! As our country’s top kung fu superstar, Brother Long was earning a top salary in Hollywood back then!” Yan Yu looked at Song Dao. “But I still think you’re more impressive. How did you come up with the idea of ​​poaching people from other companies? Pixar, DreamWorks, Disney, Illumination Entertainment, Warner Bros.… You’re really ruthless. Their bosses would hate you to death if they knew.” Yan Yu was even more impressed than him.

"Their animation industry foundation is still very strong, but their animation industry... well, it's just laughable now. These talents are a complete waste there. I'm providing humanitarian assistance because I believe talent needs to be valued," Song said earnestly.

Both women were so amused that they doubled over with laughter.

When these scoundrels get greedy, they can be really despicable.

Ultimately, the issue boils down to the fact that those once-glorious animation companies are now struggling.

The decline of the cultural and entertainment industry is fundamentally related to a country's national strength.

……

July 16th.

The daily two-episode series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" finally aired its finale on the "Watch Video" platform.

The number of registered users and paid members watching the videos also reached a peak!
That data, which dazzled industry insiders, must have made both Tencent Video and Dream Video regret their decision immensely.

I heard that the top executives of both companies were furious about this.

They didn't even get a sip of the soup from this year's super hit drama.

The CEO of Tencent Video was directly reassigned, and several vice presidents were demoted.

Even Tencent Music was affected!

—【What kind of company is Tencent? As long as it makes money, we'll run ads from our competitors without hesitation!】

So what did you all do? Some executives, because they had personal connections with executives of large, comprehensive entertainment companies like Time Entertainment and Star Entertainment.

They had various private dealings and interests, so they didn't care about anything else, and first offended Song Dao, a god-like musician.

We drove others away, and through sheer force, created a Jingting Music service with a user base that was just as large as ours, but with far greater user engagement!

The same goes for this video. What are you doing? Banning Earth Pictures? You think you're worthy?
Now, it's all good. "Monkey King: Hero Is Back," which broke the box office record for Chinese films, has nothing to do with us.

The year's blockbuster drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also had nothing to do with us.

If this continues, everyone from top to bottom should just resign and leave!

It is said that these words were spoken by the CEO of Tencent at a board meeting.

at the same time.

On Northeast TV, which was about ten episodes behind, the ratings have also stabilized at over 2.5.

Some episodes were particularly outstanding, even reaching a number of 3, which shocked the entire industry.

It's shaking!

Northeast TV has already established itself as a major television station.

Of course, they know very well how all of this came about.

They also understand that when it comes to competitiveness, they can't compare to those truly established and powerful organizations.

They can even invest in and produce various original dramas like those online platforms, which they definitely can't do.

Therefore, if they want to rise step by step, they must get along well with Earth Pictures, or more precisely, with Song Dao.

As a result, recently, all sorts of local specialties from Northeast China have been continuously being mailed to Earth Pictures.

Not only Song Dao, but also the entire Fei Yang Group's top management!
The station director even managed to get a wild ginseng from somewhere and personally flew over to deliver it.

In any case, there's only one goal—to curry favor with powerful figures.

The second and third runs of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have also been mostly sold out.

They still haven't sold it to those big TV stations like Orange.

Beijing TV, Luzhou TV, Yunnan TV... there are countless TV stations in Xia Kingdom.

To whom is it not sold?
Even though the year is only halfway over, this drama is already a shoo-in for becoming the drama of the year.

The internet is even more lively.

The matter stemmed from the fact that when people read the original novel of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," many were incredibly curious about the "half-baked" poems in it.

There were also a lot of "opinions"!
I want to call out the author Jin Gu and then fill in the missing poems.

However, Jin Yong and Gu Long are similar to the Water Strike Three Thousand.

Extremely low-key!
Otherwise, why would so many people suspect that all the books that have become popular in the last two years were written by that bastard Song Dao?

There are indeed authors who prefer to keep a low profile.

Whether traditional or online writers, there are always some who have been writing for decades without anyone ever seeing their true faces.

But do they all have to be so low-key?
The wildly popular "Journey to the West", the "Dream of the Red Chamber" which sparked heated discussions in the field of literature and history, "Investiture of the Gods" which has recently been praised by many online fantasy writers as the most powerful reference book, "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" which is talked about by many fans of gods and monsters, and even "Water Margin" which is also attributed to Jin Yong and Gu Long.

How come all the authors of so many books are so honest?

They can't even be bothered to open a social media account online? A bunch of boastful people who claim they can "open boxes" can't even find a trace of them?
These are all fine, the volume isn't that big.

However, the speculation that Jin Yong, the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," was most likely Song Dao is still widely discussed.

The clamor and uproar are rampant.

Then, as the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" progressed, another very beautiful interlude, "Man Jiang Hong," appeared, and online speculation reached its peak.

The hashtag #SongDaoSpeaksOut# even surpassed #TheLegendoftheCondorHeavensFinale#, successfully topping the list.

Dominating the headlines.

"Holy crap, this poem is amazing! It must be from Song Dao!"

"Raising my eyes, I look up to the sky and roar, my heart filled with intense emotions... In this day and age, besides Song Dao, who else could write such lyrics?"

"Hey Dog Bro, come out and say something! Did you write this? Give me a straight answer!"

"I've never seen anyone as low-key as Brother Dog when they have a bit of talent."

"Song Dao, you're a real dog! Lyrics: Shui Ji San Qian, Jin Yong and Gu Long. Bro, Dao Ye, can we stop messing around? Don't tell me you actually completed this 'Man Jiang Hong'!"

"Thirty years of fame and glory are but dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of road are but clouds and moon..." This kind of spirit is awe-inspiring. Our professor said that this poem, like the previous "Red Beans Grow in the South" and "I Will Climb to the Summit," will most likely appear in middle school Chinese textbooks.

"Song Dao, come out here and tell me if Jin Gu, the author of Water Margin and Legend of the Condor Heroes, is your pen name!"

"Song Dao, you've angered everyone! Don't think that just because you're a music godfather and a screenwriter producing top-tier domestic animation, we'll unconditionally support you. If you don't say something soon, I'll rent out a whole theater of Monkey King and record a video of myself kneeling down and begging you!"

"Damn, I even drew my knife, and it turns out it was an ally."

……

Song was waiting with a serious expression on his face.

In front of him was a virtual panel that others could not see.

The available reputation has accumulated to over 149 billion!
In other words, with another billion or so, he could exchange for those three "miracle drugs" in the system shop.

He can be incredibly carefree, have two girlfriends, and stay young forever.

As the two people with the deepest bond to him in this world, Song Dao hoped that he could enjoy this moment with them.

Even if they took the "youth-preserving" product, the two women wouldn't notice anything for a short period of time.

But he still hopes that this moment can be achieved together.

As for the other little girlfriend, the flipping cat girl, I believe the system will also generate one in the future.

He won't treat Kong Xi unfairly then.

They are willing to follow him without any official status, and he will definitely give them the best return.

In Yan Yu and Lin Fei's eyes, Song Dao's behavior simply appeared as if she were in a daze.

"Teacher Song, the internet is going crazy, everyone's asking you to speak up." Lin Fei sat down next to Song Dao, holding a plate of watermelon cut into small pieces.

He picked up a piece of the sweetest part from the center with a toothpick and handed it to Song's mouth.

Song opened his mouth and ate it, saying, "Let them guess."

“I don’t think it’s necessary. Why do we have to hide it?” Yan Yu, wearing silk pajamas, walked over and sat on the other side of Song.

Song Dao continued to stare at his rapidly increasing reputation points, which were nearing their critical point.

I wondered why I was hiding it? Because it would generate even more buzz!

Just like when he admitted that Shuiji Sanqian was his pen name, the instant surge in popularity brought him immense prestige.

However, once that veil of mystery was removed, the related topics brought him very little prestige.

Only by letting them guess, discuss wildly, and seek verification in various ways, like we are now, can we truly achieve this.

This happens every now and then.

That's why it has always maintained extremely high popularity.

Only then can he gain more prestige.

As he gradually established himself in the film and television industry, the fame he gained from these mysterious topics, combined with those films and television dramas, was unimaginable in the music industry!
So, I won't say!

at last.

Around 11 p.m.

The available reputation has successfully exceeded 150 billion!

call!
Song had never been so excited as he was this time.

"Permanent stability" and "preservation of youth".

Hopefully, the system store will continue to offer such great items in the future.

At this moment, the eldest sister and the queen sister had already returned to the hidden floor, taken a shower, and gone to sleep.

Song Dao was quite excited and chose to exchange for these three pills!
The next moment, a massive amount of reputation points vanished instantly.

Instead, three pills floated in mid-air.

Song Dao first took the "Yonggu" pill, took a deep breath, and swallowed it directly with warm water.

After waiting for a while, I didn't feel anything.

Then I went upstairs.

Return to the bedroom on the hidden floor.

Lin Fei was already asleep, but Yan Yu, that night owl, was still scrolling through her phone reading gossip.

Upon seeing Song Dao return, a hint of inquiry appeared in his peach blossom eyes.

"Why do you feel so happy?"

Song went to the bathroom to wash his hands, dried them, and then walked to the bedside, pretending to reach into his pajama pocket.

Then he brought his hand to Yan Yu's mouth.

"Open your mouth."

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, but subconsciously and obediently opened her mouth.

Song Dao casually tossed the small pink pill into Yan Yu's mouth: "Swallow it."

Yan Yu blinked her alluring eyes and swallowed the small pill.

"What is that? Drug C?" she asked curiously.

Song arrived: "..."

He looked at Yan Yu and asked, "Aren't you afraid it'll sound like, 'Little sister, get up and take your medicine'?"

Yan Yu chuckled.

"Even if it's poison, I'd gladly accept it if Mr. Song gave it to me!"

He smacked his lips as he spoke, "It doesn't taste like anything."

His eyes glanced at Song Dao: "You're the only one who has it?"

At this moment, Lin Fei, who hadn't slept soundly, mumbled, "What kind of medicine? Is it for fertility?"

Song Dao and Yan Yu: "..."

She's living such a comfortable life that the diva has lost all ambition.

Song went to bed, then took out another one and put it to Lin Fei's lips: "Open your mouth."

Lin Fei: "Ah."

Yan Yu finally saw its color clearly: pink, and in the dimly lit room, its exterior seemed to be surrounded by a faint halo.

However, she only had time to glance at it before Lin Fei swallowed it in a daze.

"It really doesn't have much flavor. Teacher Song, is this a new product you brought back from abroad to enhance the atmosphere?"

Yan Yu also looked suspicious: "Could it be that old scoundrel Brother Long gave it to you?"

Song said, "Ah, right, right, right!"

Then the diva sister perked up.

She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Song Dao with eyes as clear as water: "Teacher Song is getting more and more playful!"

Song asked, "So, how did you feel?"

Lin Fei frowned slightly: "No, is the medicine working very slowly?"

Yan Yu chimed in sweetly, "Why do I feel a little hot?"

Song glanced at her, thinking to himself, "That's because you're so flirtatious... Yan Bao!"
The two silly older sisters waited there for a long time, but didn't get much of a response.

However, after Teacher Song took off her pajamas...

Hey!
Guess what?

It was available immediately!
This incident also proved a point: the power of psychological suggestion is enormous!
Based on their preconceived notions, the two older sisters subconsciously assumed it was that kind of medicine.

So this evening was quite enjoyable.

We were out having fun until 3 a.m.

However, after waking up the next morning...

The pop diva, who was urinating in the bathroom, glanced at herself in the mirror in a daze and immediately let out a gasp.
