Huayu: A Commercial Director

Chapter 299 Cell Phone...2?

“I just happened to run into him over there, there’s nothing between us. He’s a well-known bottom in the industry, there’s no way anything could have happened between us,” Yang Mi said, standing in front of Chen Shou.

"I know."

"Then what else do you want? I've already apologized to you. I clearly agreed with Caiyu to sleep together yesterday, and I couldn't sleep well all night."

"I didn't mean anything by it. If you really have nothing to do, you don't need to explain anything. I don't want to investigate your private life either."

"How can you be so cold-hearted? I already said, no, it's okay."

"And then what? What does that have to do with me? I still have work to do."

Faced with Chen Shou's indifferent attitude, Yang Mi stared at him with red eyes.

"What exactly do you want? Enough already! Why are you treating me so coldly? What did I do wrong?"

Chen Shou looked at him and said calmly, "Our relationship was originally a transaction. I think you should be very clear about that. From the moment you gave birth to Caiyu, you should remember that you are a mother. As long as you come to the horse farm to see Caiyu, you are her mother. I have no intention of keeping an eye on you. If you give up this identity one day, you will naturally not be able to come anymore."

"So my current identity is simply that of your daughter's mother, right?"

"This has always been my identity. Otherwise, what else? Haven't you achieved your goal of being with me? The help I've given you is far more than what that guy in Hong Kong gave you. If you feel it's not enough, you can go to him and see what he can offer you."

"I understand. Since I'm here, it proves my innocence. It's the media spreading rumors." Yang Mi glared fiercely at Chen Shouzhe. She felt sorry for her past actions. She had traded her body for everything she had now, but now she had to lose her feelings.

Does she like Chen Shouzhe?
A little, but not much. Does she have someone she likes?

She definitely does, but she doesn't dare show it.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Once she has an intimate relationship with a man, unless that man is no longer in the entertainment industry, he will have nowhere to hide.

And there would be no place for Yang Mi in the entertainment industry.

Now she can only console herself with the fact that she got what she wanted, that she had escaped Mrs. Chen's blacklist, escaped the manipulation of other capital, that her company had gone public, and that she hadn't been cheated by her former agent.

She has become a small-capital investor, and in the film and television industry, no one disrespects her. Even some big-capital bosses will give her face under the spotlight.

What she lost was her feelings. Unless she cut off all contact with Chen Shouzhe, she would still be living under his control.

This was a deal she made with Chen Shouzhe. If Chen Shouzhe leaves, given the current state of her company, it will definitely run into big problems and may even be delisted.

She's just an actress, and she can't even get roles. Other actors might be able to develop their careers abroad, since domestic influence doesn't extend overseas. But Chen Shou is different; he has influence all over the world.

Yang Mi dared not gamble, and lived in constant fear, always on guard.

Back in the car, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her assistant was driving, and her manager was sitting next to her.

"How to say?"

"It's okay, he won't cut off our relationship." Yang Mi wiped away her tears and held back her sobs.

The agent breathed a sigh of relief; if Chen Shouzhe had really gotten angry, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"That's good. It wasn't a big deal to begin with, but we should still be more careful in the future. Also, regarding the donation, thankfully we did some public relations work," the agent said.

"What's the public opinion saying now?" Yang Mi asked after adjusting his mood.

"It's been contained. We've made up for the shortfall with donations and even added some extra. There's nothing too serious right now."

"Which matter?" "It was also suppressed. They suppressed it for a while while keeping an eye on the film studio, but it was gone in just half an hour."

"Okay, let's go back to the company."

"it is good!"

Chen Shou arrived at the company. The Yunnan Insect Valley movie was about to be released, quietly, with publicity to follow once it was released.

Chen Shouzhe could sense the unusual behavior of his employees, probably because of the news that Yang Mi and her friends were having a trip together.

Now everyone thinks he's been cuckolded, and no one dares to mess with him.

The next few days were quiet. Information spreads so quickly online these days that one day's news was quickly replaced by other news.

A day later, Yang Mi's matter was resolved, but other celebrities began to have their donations investigated.

Last year, they already poached one of the top actresses from Taiwan. Of course, the actresses from Taiwan weren't very good to begin with, so it was a good thing they were taken down.

It could even be described as an encirclement and suppression; now, everyone wants to take down the next target and secure the resources they'll have after they've gone down.

When a whale falls, all things come to life. If Yang Mi were to fall, wouldn't the others want to come up to him? But since Chen Shouzhe didn't make a move, they naturally didn't dare to make any move either. What if Chen Shouzhe was still protecting him?
The trending topic disappeared in less than half an hour. It's clear that Yang Mi's company wasn't enough to make Weibo do this; there must have been a much larger force involved.

Although Chen Shouzhe is not a shareholder of Weibo, he still has a certain influence, after all, the protection fees he pays each year are quite substantial.

How does Weibo make money? How many times has it been summoned by the authorities over the years? Isn't there anything shady going on?
It's true that toilets are filthy places, but people need to use the restroom, and we can't live without them.

Shouzhe Film Studio is preparing for the release of "Yunnan Insect Valley," and on the eve of the release, the 27th.

An announcement from the Film Bureau has drawn the attention of the film and entertainment industry to Huayi.

Chen Shouzhe was busy at the company when his assistant, Xiao Fang, called him to lunch. It was then that he learned about this from Zhong Lifan.

"A second cell phone?"

Chen Shouzhe remembers it's been more than ten years since the first mobile phone movie was released.

Feng Xiaogang and Liu Zhengyun collaborated on this project, as did their previous collaboration on Pan Jinlian. Their collaboration was viewed favorably by the public.

At least some of Feng Xiaogang's fans are looking forward to it, after all, "Cell Phone" is considered a classic, and it has already been officially announced that Ge You will star in it.

Ge You is absolutely amazing when it comes to acting; no one would question his skills.

The problem is that this movie about cell phones is somewhat interesting.

People in the film and television industry still remember that when the mobile phone was first released, it was based on a real person, and the real person was very popular at the time.

What kind of story is it? It's about a TV host who left his phone at home, which triggered a series of events, including an extramarital affair and a divorce.

The real-life figure who inspired the script helped Feng Xiaogang and Liu Zhengyun complete the script, but unexpectedly, after the film was released, he was portrayed as such a man, which severely impacted his family.

They even went to court and dragged it out for years. Unexpectedly, they're now preparing to film a second installment of their mobile phone series.

This isn't rubbing salt into their wounds; it just shows that Huayi, Feng Xiaogang, and Liu Zhengyun have all lost all sense of shame when it comes to money.
