The Queen's Rumored Father

Chapter 1262 The Capable Should Do Less Work

However, it's a bit strange that it's so far away.

Although the two women contacted him quite often, it was always only through voice messages.

Speaking of which, I've missed it a bit after all these years.

The last time I saw them was at Da Mi Li Jian... during the filming of "One Life, One Love".

Xu Qin was someone I met before that.

It seems that in the end, some physical "conflict" occurred.

Especially Gao Yuanyuan, the two of them fell deeply in love while filming and couldn't extricate themselves. Thinking about it now, it is indeed a bit... etc.!

Xu Yuan was suddenly stunned.

It seems that both Xu Qin and Gao Yuanyuan disappeared a few months after having sex with him.

And later, their phone calls kept coming one after another.

It seems that both of them had asked me about some things back then.

The time difference is only about two or three months.

they……

After a moment of deep thought, Xu Yuan asked, "Does any of you know where they bought the mountain?"

Li Bingbing shook her head: "How could anyone know? None of them will say anything. But from the snippets of conversation in the group chat, we can tell it's from the South, but we don't know anything more specific."

"These two women live like housewives, all they lack is a husband and children. Many people in the group are speculating whether they are... secretly married."

Li Bingbing lowered her voice, mainly because she was afraid of upsetting Xu Yuan.

After all, she had no idea whether Xu Yuan had any taboos in this regard.

Many renowned directors don't mind marrying actresses with whom they have ambiguous relationships, and they may even feel no guilt about it. However, some directors are very secretive about this kind of thing and may feel cheated on.

Sure enough, Xu Yuan shook his head: "No way."

Xu Yuan was confident that if Xu Qin and Gao Yuanyuan really got married, the first thing they would do would be to completely cut off all contact with him, instead of sending him photos of the cookies she baked sometimes.

Looking back now, why do I always feel like I'm "not forgetting to tell my ancestors" whenever they post photos of flowers, plants, food, or scenery to themselves?

So, this is a memorial service?

Xu Yuan thought to himself, "That's right, I have photos."

If there are any doubts, following the clues will not be difficult to find the whereabouts of the two women.

Xu Yuan made up his mind that once the award was finalized at the beginning of next year, he would go and see the two women.

He always felt that something was amiss.

There was an answer he was hesitant to believe.

When Li Bingbing left that day, she noticed that Xu Yuan had suddenly changed.

It's starting to look... a bit more like a person.

Yes, although it sounds strange, Xu Yuan did seem a bit inhuman before. He was omnipotent; he could solve all problems, as if nothing in the world could exceed his expectations and adaptability.

Even the massive avalanche that garnered global attention did not actually pose any danger to Xu Yuan himself.

As for box office, Xu Yuan never worries about it because his movies are always the best.

But today, Li Bingbing noticed that Xu Yuan seemed a bit anxious and insecure.

She followed behind Xu Yuan, who paid no attention to her and took out his phone to call back home: "Hey, Jiu Yuan, do me a favor. I'll send you some pictures later... along the Yangtze River, can you help me find a place that matches... um, keep it low-key, just keep it to yourself."

"Hey, Qing, can you help me find that area along the southern coast... yeah, maybe we can get a botanist or geographer to help analyze it, hmm..."

"Mr. Lin Tao, I need to trouble you with something, but first and foremost, it must be kept secret. Don't let anyone else know about this except you, including Bian Xue… And, the person handling this needs to be trustworthy… By the way, it's just an investigation. If you find anything, remember to contact them…"

In just a short while, Xu Yuan made several phone calls.

Li Bingbing knew the names of many of these people.

She had a good relationship with Song Ren. Song Ren had once attacked Xu Yuan, but they inexplicably reconciled in the end, and Song Ren became a staunch supporter of Xu Yuan. Li Bingbing had some confidential information when she had dinner with Mr. Zheng, the current head of Song Ren.

This includes, but is not limited to, information such as a prestigious family, the family head Zheng Jiuyuan, Xu Yuan being a super important figure, or things that cannot be said.

At least, President Zheng's position is just a matter of a word from Zheng Jiuyuan.

Zheng Jiuyuan, on the other hand, seemed to admire Xu Yuan greatly.

Also, there's Aqing, mentioned in the second phone call. People in the entertainment industry know even more about her, because she had worked for a period of time on a mainland film crew as a martial arts instructor.

He was a real kung fu master. After returning to Hong Kong, he raised his flag and countless brothers responded. They immediately added the character "青" (qing, meaning green) to the middle of the phrase "地久天长" (di jiu tian chang, meaning forever) in Hong Kong.

Li Bingbing frequently visited Hong Kong and had met that "Master Qing." In all of Hong Kong, there were very few people who could call him "Ah Qing." Even someone like Xiang Sheng was a generation lower than Ah Qing in terms of seniority—can you believe it!

Xu Yuan called out to A Qing!

In the end, Lin Tao, the CEO, was actually the person Li Bingbing knew best.

Lin Tao, a super-rich man from Sichuan.

However, his influence was originally limited to Sichuan. A wealthy person of his caliber is extremely rare in the southwest region. But if you put him in Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, he would go from being at the very top to just an average top person. The gap is still huge.

However, during the years of cooperation with Xu Yuan, almost all of Fengxing's expansion was handled by Lin Tao's group.

The project was already quite extravagant, but more importantly, it opened up a gateway to both Shanghai and Beijing.

As a result, Lin Tao transformed directly from a "local tyrant" into a top national entrepreneur, with many business projects overseas.

The fact that Lin Tao's name has been frequently mentioned alongside the top billionaires in China in recent years speaks volumes.

However... even so, it seems that in Xu Yuan's phone call just now, they could only be placed at the back.

This……

It seems that the more familiar Li Bingbing is with someone, the lower they are in Xu Yuan's ranking. This means that... the former are people she is not yet qualified to get close to!

……

Following the clues did not affect Xu Yuan's important business.

During the filming of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", Da Mi Li Jian also sparked another release frenzy.

Not those terrible Disney movies, but those films that were previously pushed to the back by Disney's bad movies.

Everyone would rather have fewer screenings than miss a movie, just to finish the release within this period.

Because nobody wants to run into Xu Yuan's third film of the year, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," at the end of the year.

The first two suspenseful and mind-bending films have a relatively small audience, but let's see how they turn out.

Disney's two consecutive defeats allowed Xu Yuan to achieve a box office harvest of over 4 million and 5 million in North America.

That's a billion.

How much is the total box office revenue in North America?

Around 11 billion.

Xu Yuan's two films account for almost one-tenth of the total.

How many movies are released in North America in a year?

About a thousand.

The average box office for each film is around ten million.

Okay, aside from most of the low-budget films, there are still over two hundred major films showing in North America.

The average box office for each film is less than 50 million.

Of course, Disney played a huge role in this; without their "contribution," the average would have actually been able to go up.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith, on the other hand, is a commercial film.

Xu Yuan's art films and suspense films can each gross 500 million yuan at the box office.

Can you guess the box office performance of his commercial films?

So everyone went crazy, rushing to release the film.

It's foreseeable that when "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" is released, its competitors won't have much to say.

This proves the saying: those who are capable should do less work.

Because "bad guys" will scare away competitors!

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the nature of life, and capital is ultimately controlled by living beings.
