Huayu: A Commercial Director

Chapter 330 They Have a Daughter
What movie is that "blood mine" you're talking about?

Back home, Master Yu Qian was watering the flowers in the yard. Chen Shou went over to help and also kept an eye on the two little brats, who were already having a blast.

"A realistic work, by Shen Yijie," Chen Shou said.

"Shen Yijie's? Is he going to be a director?" Yu Qian asked in surprise.

“Yes, a cinematographer who doesn’t want to be a director isn’t a good cinematographer. Zhang Yimou and Ning Hao have both successfully become directors, and he wants to be one too, especially an art-house film director.” Chen Shou nodded.

"Just don't pursue awards too much. If you make a movie for the sake of awards, you're putting the cart before the horse."

"Probably not. He still wants to earn more money. I will only help him cover part of the cost, and he will have to contribute money and effort for the rest."

"You decide for yourself."

"Why don't you try acting in a role?"

Chen Shou looked at his master. His crosstalk skills were undeniable, but he was old and his skin was not good, making him look old. However, this kind of old age was suitable for playing a certain type of person.

Fortunately, there was a suitable role for him in the Blood Mine, and Chen Shou immediately had a plot in his mind.

Despite bringing joy to everyone on stage, Yu Qian is actually a very traditional person in private. Otherwise, Chen Shouzhe wouldn't have been beaten even after he became an adult.

"Is there anything suitable for me?"

“Yes, it’s absolutely perfect.” Chen Shou smiled.

"That smile of yours is definitely not a good one." Yu Qian knew Chen Shouzhe all too well; he could tell what kind of nonsense Chen Shouzhe was about to spout just by looking at his actions. He was definitely not a good person.

However, I've played all sorts of roles, especially villains, so it doesn't really matter to me.

"Perfect for you."

"As the company grows bigger and bigger, more and more people are keeping an eye on you."

"A person who isn't envied is mediocre. We had a meeting today, and it turns out that almost all of those companies have problems."

That's why I'm telling you to be careful.

"Ah."

Chen Shou nodded and helped water the flowers, and also took the opportunity to bathe the horse.

While they were eating, a phone call came in. Chen Shou glanced at it and saw it was from Zhong Lifan.

After the call connected, Zhong Lifan spoke first, before Chen Shouzhe could even speak.

"Look at Weibo."

"what's up."

"Your affair with Yang Mi has been exposed."

"Oh!!"

Chen Shouzhe responded, and his master and mistress both looked over. They had heard what was just said. Chen Shouzhe opened Weibo and saw that the word "hot" had appeared as a trending topic.

Chen Shouzhe and Yang Mi have a daughter.

The person who broke the news claimed to be a passerby, providing photos of Chen Shou with his daughter, and then filmed a video of Yang Mi's parents taking their granddaughter out. The time was a bit blurry, but it was clear that they did have a daughter.

Yang Mi's parents only had one daughter, Yang Mi. Since they brought their granddaughter with them, it means that Yang Mi gave birth to her. And the relationship between Chen Shou and Yang Mi was no secret for a long time.

The comments section was full of people saying "we already knew," and they even brought up news about Yang Mi's disappearance and the specific timeline of her pregnancy.

Chen was watching when the phone rang. It was Yang Mi.

"You saw it on Weibo, right?" Yang Mi's voice came through, sounding somewhat anxious.

"It's Mommy," the little girl called out crisply as she turned her head while eating a piece of braised meat.

"I saw it," Chen Shou said calmly.

“How can you put it? It’s obvious they came for you,” Yang Mi said.

"It's alright, don't worry about it," Chen Shou said.

"Should we make it public?" Yang Mi asked.

"Does it have any effect?"

"You decide how I should respond." "You don't need to reply."

"That's up to you."

"Wait a minute, the little girl wants to have a chat with you." Chen Shouzhe saw Chen Caiyu's eager expression and pushed the phone towards her.

"Mother!!"

"Cornflower!"

"Mom, I miss you so much! When are you coming to visit me?"

How about tomorrow?

"Okay."

The two chatted for a while, and because of this Weibo post, the entire Weibo platform almost crashed.

People in the film and television industry remained silent, while netizens spread the word. They had known for a long time, but the revelation was not surprising. The only surprise was that the couple had a daughter who was quite old.

Chen Shou is not an actor, so he doesn't need to worry about his image. However, Yang Mi cares a lot about it, as female celebrities still have an advantage when they are single.

It's true that Mr. Cao had many wives, but most of them were widows, not married women.

On the contrary, Boss Cao is a good person, providing them with a sense of security amidst the chaos of the world.

After the mother and daughter finished chatting, Chen Shouzhe had also almost finished eating.

"See? The troublemakers are here," Yu Qian said, taking a sip of his drink.

"It doesn't matter. They can't find any reason to cause trouble. At most, they'll just make things worse."

"Hmm." Yu Qian nodded, also thinking it wasn't a big deal.

Many people were surprised to see the Weibo post and wondered who had done it.

"It's not unusual for a single director to have a daughter with a female celebrity; it's not like he's just messing around." Ren Zhonglun, who had just returned to Shanghai from a meeting, shook his head when he saw the news.

What might seem like big news to the average person is nothing new to those in the industry; in fact, it's commonplace, and there are even more outrageous stories out there.

It's common knowledge in the industry that Chen Shou has three women, and he could have even more if he wanted to.

Two of the three women had children with him, and the third was the one everyone thought was most likely to marry Chen Shouzhe.

"What did Shouzhai Film Industry say about the Shanghai International Film Festival on the 16th?"

The secretary next to him said, "It's confirmed that he won't be coming. President Zhong's message said that Director Chen is filming Journey to the West and won't have time to attend the film festival."

"Forget it, if you don't want to come, then don't come."

The secretary didn't dare to speak; clearly, the previous unpleasantness had made both sides unwilling to have any further contact.

The contract issue caused a huge uproar online, but it has now been overshadowed by news about Chen Shouzhe and Yang Mi's daughter, with everyone's attention focused on this.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this trending topic was sold, but the problem is that the person in this trending topic is not an ordinary person.

Chen Shouzhe and Yang Mi, a top director and a leading actress, already have a daughter.

"I wonder how many people envy her." Li Baibing was having dinner with her sister and colleagues when she saw the Weibo post. She wasn't surprised at all, as if she already knew about it. She simply said this.

Ren Quan, who was standing next to him, smiled and asked, "When do you plan to get married?"

"Me? Forget it." Li Baibing shook her head. She had been like that before, but she wasn't as lucky as Yang Mi.

No one else said anything. The two had such a good relationship, dating back to university, but they couldn't end up together, which became a regret for many.

Public opinion is still developing, and various pieces of evidence are being released.

However, the film and television industry remained silent, and no one stepped forward to speak out.

Someone asked the biggest paparazzi, Zhuo Wei, for his opinion on the matter.

Zhuo Wei's account was banned last year, but he still posted a message on his WeChat Moments.

"Isn't this common knowledge???"
