Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 240 Sisi Returns to China
Singles' Day has passed safely, and Double Twelve has quietly arrived.

This month has been anything but peaceful.

On November 14, Spring Autumn Film & Television acquired Golden Harvest, and Sister Li became the new chairman of the board.

After the stock resumed trading, it rose for a day, but then began to fall continuously the next day.

Then pessimistic predictions arose everywhere, and the decline continued unabated.

On November 17th, Student Day, Golden Harvest announced its partnership with Spring Autumn Cinemas to enter the mainland Chinese cinema market.

The stock price was stimulated and rose slightly, but then fell again.

Someone is stirring up trouble, secretly causing chaos, trying to target Jiahe and bury Sister Li's hundreds of millions in ruins.

Sister Li, you might as well go all the way and do it now, instead of waiting for a blood transfusion later.

The board of directors is riddled with problems, the management is riddled with problems, and yet nothing has been done here. Those outside know this better than those inside.

How can we play like this? How can we even get started?
"If he wants war, then let's fight. If we're not ruthless, we can't stand firm. If we don't kill or cripple a few families, we won't be able to stand firm either," Sister Li said.

This is a counterattack by the old guard in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, and also their last gasp.

November 23, Thanksgiving. Golden Harvest suspended trading again, undergoing a major internal reshuffle.

There are enemies in the shadows, but there are also friends.

Film companies such as SM Entertainment, CJ Entertainment, Spring and Autumn, and Tangren Media, technology companies such as Kingsoft, Tencent, and NetEase, as well as friends such as Fatty Wang, Jackie Chan, and Li Lianjie, and friends of Sharla Cheung such as Vivian Chow, Joey Wong, and Chingmy Yau, provided talent, technical support, and maintained the operation of Golden Harvest.

What impressed Liu Jing was that the power of the circle was revealed at this moment.

The Beijing Film Academy called on many current students and graduates to provide assistance to Jiahe.

The Beijing business community also mobilized its resources to provide support to Golden Harvest.

Internal turmoil and external unpredictable events. Despite being on the verge of collapse, Jiahe managed to pull through with the help of various parties.

Sister Li stayed in Hong Kong, while Zhang Min stayed in mainland China, turning a blind eye to the turmoil.

As Sister Li put it, this is just training; there will be many more similar situations in the future. If you can't even withstand a small wave, how can you expect to ride the waves?

On December 2, Jiahe, which had been suspended from trading for several days, suddenly announced that its board of directors had been successfully restructured.

Within ten days, some shareholders withdrew when they saw the situation was not good, while others were forced out.

Meanwhile, Golden Harvest issued an announcement stating that it would increase its capital and raise HK$500 million.

Wang Pangzi, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhou Huimin, Wang Zuxian, and other individuals, along with some institutions, all bought in.

November 12th, Lower Yuan Festival.

Having recovered, Jiahe was determined to take revenge overnight.

Sister Li, with a large sum of money and a team that had just emerged from a fierce battle, decimated the Hong Kong film and television companies that were constantly making trouble.

As the wave receded, many ordinary companies went bankrupt, and even the listed company Mei Ah Entertainment went out of business.

Because of this operation, Mei Ya was the leader and acted as the vanguard.

December 7th, heavy snow.

Golden Harvest announced an investment in South Korean entertainment company New Star Entertainment, a strategic partnership with SM Entertainment, CJ Entertainment, and DreamWorks, and secured exclusive distribution rights for DreamWorks films. Golden Harvest will be the exclusive distributor of DreamWorks films in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

On December 11, Golden Harvest announced the acquisition of Mei Ah Entertainment, incorporating six film and television production and distribution companies to supplement Golden Harvest's distribution channels.

From then on, Golden Harvest ventured into the production and distribution of films and video discs, expanding the film copyrights in its film library.

Its business network and distribution channels cover Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Europe, the United States, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

Wherever there are Chinese people, there is the presence of Jiahe.

On December 12th, Golden Harvest announced its film slate, co-producing "Red Cliff" and calling on the original cast and crew to reboot "Storm Riders"...

These dramatic changes seemed to have nothing to do with Liu Jing.

While there was fighting ahead, he and his comrades remained calm and peaceful.

Sissi was focused on filming "Nine-Tailed Fox" in South Korea and was oblivious to everything else.

Yang Mi studied diligently at school, but often saw her old classmates, and Fenglingdu became the ferry crossing for the two brothers.

Liu Shishi attended classes at Zhuwai Academy, where she became classmates with Jing Tian.

In addition to filming, Gao Yuanyuan also took on many commercial projects, which filled her pockets.

Liu Jing spent a few days in South Korea and a few days in the United States, and he got everything he needed to do done.

At other times, I go back and forth between school and driving school.

On December 13, Xixi returned to China, and Liu Jing was responsible for picking her up at the airport.

Yandu Airport has been dazzling with stars these past few days, with big-name celebrities appearing here every day.

Surrounded by several security guards, Sisi struggled to emerge from the arrival gate.

"Sisi, I heard you're going to play Lin Daiyu!" a fan asked loudly.

“You’ve got it wrong, I’m going to play Jia Baoyu.” Sisi waved in response.

Nowadays, the "Fairy Sister" handles these situations with ease and without any pressure.

"Liu Yifei, how do you feel about your mother acquiring Golden Harvest?" a reporter asked.

"She seems really amazing," Sisi said with a smile.

"Fairy Sister, what's your next project?"

"The next film is being shot, you'll find out soon."

"Yifei, I heard you declined the role of Sun Shangxiang. What's the reason?"

"Ah! How come I didn't know?"

……

"Hey beautiful, need a taxi? I ​​just bought a Ferrari."

"Excuse me... Oh my god, are you going to collect junk?" Sisi answered reflexively, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Liu Jing, wrapped in a tattered coat and wearing sunglasses, finally met the person.

"If I didn't wear this, would I be able to stand peacefully at the arrival gate waiting for you?" Liu Jing pulled Qianqian along, quickly shaking off the crowd and arriving at the parking lot.

"What did I just hear? Ferrari? Could Mom be here too? Let me make it clear, if she's driving, I won't ride in her unless she crashes into me," Sisi said suspiciously.

“He has a new identity now, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jiahe, he doesn’t have time to pick you up from the airport.” Liu Jing pulled a booklet out of his pocket and waved it in front of Qianqian. “See? He just got his driver’s license yesterday. This time, I’ll personally pick you up from the airport.” “You actually got your driver’s license?” Qianqian wasn’t happy, but rather a little disappointed.

"Hey! What do you mean? I even threw a celebration party for you when you got your driver's license." Liu Jing was very dissatisfied.

"Hehe, yeah. I don't even know who this celebration is for. It's my celebration, and you've got all the sweetness and honey." Sisi mocked.

Several months ago, when it happened, she had already sketched out the general plot through the various characters and filled in the details of that night.

"Ahem, this Ferrari is so brightly colored." Liu Jing coughed.

"What? You got your driver's license and now you want me to throw a celebration party so you can recite a poem for fun?" Sisi persisted.

"There's no celebration today, just a family dinner." Liu Jing opened the car door, but to his surprise, Qianqian sat in the driver's seat.

"I'm the driver." Liu Jing was taken aback.

"Now I'm the driver." Sisi touched the steering wheel, the rearview mirror, and the dashboard, her face full of excitement.

“I have a driver’s license,” Liu Jing reminded him.

“It’s not safe for a new driver to be on the road. I’m an experienced driver,” Sisi explained, continuing to inspect the vehicle.

"With my skills..."

"Aren't you annoying me? I just want to drive, what are you going to do about it?" Sisi said impatiently.

Liu Jing sighed and obediently sat in the passenger seat.

He suddenly understood why Sisi had chosen such vibrant colors and why she had given him a sports car.

So it turns out he bought this new car for himself.

At that moment, he completely understood Shu Chang's feelings.

What makes him better than Shu Chang is that the car was paid for by Xixi, so it wasn't considered a loan.

"Yo-ho..." Sisi ran on the road, extremely excited.

Liu Jing gripped the car tightly, not daring to utter a single word the entire way, for fear of disturbing Qianqian's driving.

His worries were unnecessary; he arrived home safely.

Sisi's driving skills are very good, much better than Sister Li's.

The car entered the yard, executed a beautiful drift, and came to a smooth stop in the yard.

"Oh, right! Someone just said I refused to play Sun Shangxiang, is that true? I didn't say I wouldn't play the role." After parking the car, Qianqian finally had time to talk to Liu Jing.

"Sister Li helped you refuse." Liu Jing carried his suitcase. Luckily, he was physically strong enough. If it were someone else, they would have definitely thrown up on the bus.

"Why? Why should she? She's not my manager anymore; I've already fired her," Sisi said, dissatisfied.

Sister Li no longer has time to be her daughter's agent; she has long since handed over the agency business to her team.

After the team's initial screening, the scripts and business proposals were submitted to Sisi.

She has complete autonomy in choosing which scripts to write and which activities to participate in.

Once selected, the team will then handle the implementation.

"She's your mother, and you ran away from home." Liu Jing retorted, "You've gone out to have fun, but you don't know how I've been these past few days. He can't withstand the combined fire from his entire family."

When Liu Jing went to South Korea, he brought up the topic of "Red Cliff." Minjie's guess was correct; as soon as Qianqian heard that Sun Shangxiang would have action scenes, she agreed without hesitation.

Recently, Sister Li was busy with Golden Harvest and didn't have time to deal with any film, even a blockbuster.

With the successful restructuring of the board of directors, her busy schedule came to an end, and she only then learned that Sister Min had recommended Qianqian to play Sun Shangxiang.

Sister Li refused, not wanting Xixi to play that role.

"Hmph!" Sisi, feeling guilty, snorted twice before asking, "Why did you reject it for me? Was the doujinshi really that bad?"

"The script wasn't great, but with such a big investment, even a terrible script can be made into a spectacular film. Sister Li refused simply because she didn't want you to play Sun Shangxiang; she felt it was pointless," Liu Jing explained.

"Then who took the role?" Sisi pouted. She had run away from home for dozens of days, but when she came back, she still had to listen to her mother.

She had wanted to return to China for a long time because this attempt to run away from home had been a failure.

In her imagination, her parents must be very nervous, searching for her all over the world, constantly contacting her, and soon trying to appease her.

Back then, she could easily manipulate her parents and make any demands she wanted.

And what happened? Except for the first few days when her father called a few times, she arrogantly ignored him.

My father never called again, and my mother? She never called or sent a single text message.

Even later on, her grandparents, who used to contact her frequently, stopped contacting her altogether.

With Jiahe busy preparing for the competition, no one had time to pay attention to her.

According to information she received at the front lines, her mother had adopted Shu Chang as her goddaughter and had taken Gao Yuanyuan and Tang Yan to Jiahe to broaden their horizons. Her father had recently been transferred to a new post in the Northwest. Teacher An had been spending more time lately, often taking her grandparents on trips to various places.

Sisi was saddened to discover that she seemed to have been forgotten by everyone.

She had wanted to return to China for the past two weeks. But no one invited her, or rather, no one paid any attention to her; she felt too ashamed to come back.

This time, a legitimate reason was finally found: Tencent held its first annual Starlight Awards. As the first Golden Eagle Goddess, she was an invited guest.

The first Starlight Awards Ceremony is scheduled for December 15th, hosted by Tencent Penguin Network and organized by Chunqiu Film & Television.

Sister Li takes this very seriously, so the organizing committee also attaches great importance to it; this is to celebrate Jiahe's victory.

"This role will definitely go to an artist from Spring and Autumn. John Woo will be here in a few days, let's see who's suitable." Liu Jing pulled his suitcase into the house.

"So annoying," Sisi muttered, looking around the room. It was quite clean.

She threw herself onto the sofa; it was so comfortable at home.

"Where's Mom?" Sisi asked, puzzled. She knew that Sister Li was in Yandu.

He hadn't seen his daughter for several dozen days, and not only did he not go to pick her up from the airport, but he wasn't even home.

How sad.

"At that time, it would either be at the Spring and Autumn Period or at the Starlight Awards ceremony," Liu Jing responded.

"Where's Lao An?" Qianqian snorted softly, feeling very disappointed.

"Old An is here." Teacher An walked out of the bedroom with a blank expression.
