How did I become famous?

Chapter 348 New Year's Eve

Liu Mang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Anyway, nobody said anything.

How are we supposed to answer that?

"When did you betray me and join the young lady's ranks?"

this.

Liu Mang scratched his chubby face: "Old Fang, isn't Miss Su always the one calling the shots in our company?"

Yup!

Fangmu Film and Television Company!

Although Fang is in front and Mu is behind.

But everyone knows that the one who has the final say is "Mu"!

Even if we ignore that, just look at the law.

The legal representative and major shareholder of Fangmu Film and Television Company are both Su Mulin.

So here's the question.

Did anyone betray Fang Bie?

There is only one answer.

That means there isn't one.

Fang had nothing to say.

At this point, Wu Kai added, "Old Fang, actually I've always been a 'pro-Fang' supporter, and this is for your own good."

That's right, Fangmu Film and Television is now divided into two factions.

One faction is the "pro-establishment faction" led by Wu Kai.

One faction was the "Protect the Soviet Union" led by Liu Mang.

There is also the "neutral faction" led by Nie Fang.

However, now both the neutral and pro-establishment factions have been "turned" to the other side.

Although they do not feel that they have been turned.

Because in their view, this is a good opportunity for the two factions to merge, and everyone is doing it for the good of your side.

Fang Bie sighed, "Forget it, there's no point in saying all this now. From this day forward, Fang Mu Films belongs to me, Fang Bie!"

Liu Mang and his group had no objections.

What else can we do?

The awkward way Fang Bie came in just now told me what had happened to him last night.

Now he's whispering sweet nothings in his boss Su Mulin's ear.

What else can everyone do besides bowing and praying?

So Liu Mang asked a question.

"Old Fang, how do we get there from here?"

Now, the domestic faction has become dominant, and its relationship with the government is so close that they're practically inseparable.

The first part of the military trilogy is about to be released.

The latter two films are already confirmed for release during the Lunar New Year holiday season next year and the year after.

Joker has been submitted for Oscar consideration and has a high chance of winning an Oscar this year.

The Oscars have already sent the invitation.

The "Fang Bie's Five Thousand Years of History" project is being implemented gradually.

Currently, we are working on the initial preparations for the first part of "What is China".

"What is China?" naturally refers to the Xia Dynasty.

However, Fang Bie didn't know much about the Xia Dynasty either.

So he planned to make it like a mythological story.

He won't start filming normally until after the Spring and Autumn Period.

Fang Bie remembered seeing a compilation of Chinese mythology online by a content creator called "Feiwo Zhibi" in his previous life.

He combined science with ancient Chinese classics to create a story that was logically consistent and impressive to those who didn't understand it.

Moreover, that story has been told from ancient times to the present day.

Fang Bie was also amazed by his extraordinary talent.

However, it has been several years since he transmigrated. In his previous life, he would just read something, add it to his favorites, and follow it, and then forget about it after a few days.

Several years after this time travel, he couldn't remember 70% of it.

But he still remembered the general meaning.

That makes things simple.

Ancient times were myths, and then Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, and that was the end of it.

Later, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, some content from the Investiture of the Gods was incorporated.

Then came the Spring and Autumn Period.

Then the story of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period is told.

The story begins with the Wei state, the first hegemon of the Warring States period, and its Wei elite troops and reforms, and continues all the way to the Qin state and Qin Shi Huang's unification of China.

Thinking of this, Fang Bie suddenly remembered something: "Fatty, have you found the person I asked Second Brother Su to help me find?"

Liu Mang hesitated for a moment: "I don't know if I've found it or not."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Fang Bie became somewhat interested.

"We couldn't find anyone named Ying Zheng," Liu Mang explained. "We did find someone named Zhao Zheng, but she was a woman."

He paused for a moment, then began to introduce Fang Bie.

"There's a girl in her early twenties named Zhao Zheng. Her family used to be in business, but they fell on hard times, and she went from being a pampered young lady to being poor. But she's got good qualities; she's beautiful, has a good temperament, and is 1.76 meters tall. She's currently studying acting at the Beijing Film Academy. I recently heard that she's started taking on roles to pay off her debts, but she's only been playing small, minor roles."

Fang Bie: "."

Ying Zheng?

His name is Zhao Zheng!

However, Zulong became a girl.

This was something Fang Bie had never thought of before.

But if Qin Shi Huang were to become a mature woman, it would actually be quite appealing, wouldn't it?

Wow, this has such a strong anime vibe.

I can't accept this.

"Then it's settled. I've shown you the rough outline of the series, and Zhao Zheng is the tentative choice for Qin Shi Huang. But why would anyone give a girl such a masculine name?"

Liu Mang and the others didn't know the answer to this question either.

However, they knew what they were going to do next.

Moreover, this matter seems like it will take at least ten years to resolve.

Fang Bie made the final decision and summarized:

"I'll go back to China first to wait for the movie to be released, and then I'll go to Hollywood for the Oscars. Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you guys."

Fang Bie looked up and said, "If I win an Oscar this time, I'm going to propose to Xiao Lin during my acceptance speech."

Liu Mang, Wu Kai, and the others exchanged glances.

They didn't seem surprised at all, as if it were the natural thing to do.

They had all witnessed Fang Bie and Su Mulin's long-term relationship, which lasted for several years.

Fang Bie is an exceptionally responsible person, and he's not young anymore.

When they first met, Fang Bie was twenty-four years old; now he's over twenty-seven.

"Since everyone agrees, it's settled then. After all these things are finished, everyone will go their separate ways and each person will be responsible for a part of the five thousand years of history. That will be our future work direction."

As for movies, we'll make one if we have the idea later.

Fang Bie is no longer at the point where he needs to rely on movies to solidify his position.

"Everyone pack your things, we're heading back to China tomorrow."

As the year draws to a close, it's New Year's Eve.

Midnight is the time when the first part of the trilogy will be released.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Fang Bie and Su Mulin appeared together in the old neighborhood where the Su family lived in Beijing.

This is where Old Man Su and his wife lived before he took off.

Even after he became a big shot, he kept the house.

Even when he returned to the capital, Old Man Su would stay here and quietly reminisce about the warm daily life he shared with his deceased wife.

Today is New Year's Eve, and I have nowhere else to go.

Since the young lady went to Fang Bie's place, she hasn't gone home for the New Year for the past two years, except for the first year.

I have no choice but to go back this year.

So, she brought Fang Bie back with her.

The young lady is currently making dumplings with her two older brothers inside the house.

Fang Bie was called out by Old Man Su to smoke.

Old Man Su handed Fang a Hongtashan cigarette that cost 8.5 yuan.

Fang smiled and declined, saying, "Uncle Su, I've already quit."

After that night in 404, he decided to quit smoking.

He used to occasionally sneak cigarettes behind the young lady's back, but now he has truly quit.

Old Man Su's hand, holding the cigarette, froze in mid-air. His face was full of suspicion: "Young Fang, you rascal...you didn't get my daughter pregnant, did you?"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

"Uncle Su, you know me. I would never do such a thing without the permission of my elders!" Fang Bie said righteously. "I always wear my little umbrella properly."

Old Man Su: "."

I actually managed to trick them out of it!

You little rascal, you've really stolen my little cabbage!

Fang Bie realized what was happening, so he just smiled awkwardly and remained silent.

Old Man Su didn't scold him, but simply tilted his head back slightly, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and asked with a melancholy expression, "When do you plan to get this done?"

He meant marriage.

"Actually, I planned to go after the New Year." Facing his father-in-law, Fang Bie readily confessed, "Actually, Xiao Lin came back this time to steal the household registration book."

Old Man Su: "."

After a long silence, he sighed, "A daughter is like a tree that cannot be kept at home once she grows up."

As he spoke, he stubbed out his cigarette against the wall and patted Fang Bie on the shoulder: "Fang, come with me to the cemetery in a couple of days. We'll talk to your mother-in-law and make her happy."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Your parents are there too. You haven't gone to burn paper money for them in three years. Let's go see them together this time."

Fang fell silent.

It is indeed due to health reasons, but I don't want to go into too much detail, for fear of being accused of playing the victim.

I'll wait until the story of this book is finished, and then I'll talk about it in the author's closing remarks.

I'm bowing down to you all!

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in advance!
