Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

I woke up this morning.

Lin Wan immediately checked the box office figures for "A Letter to Grandma" yesterday. After watching it, her desire to see her ex-husband Huang Min became even stronger.

Yesterday, aside from taking her son to the mall to buy him summer clothes, Lin Wan spent most of her time at home watching movies.

She finished watching "Memories of Murder" that night, and then "The Witch" and "Extreme Job". After watching them, Lin Wan had a deeper understanding of her ex-husband's cinematography skills.

Even the fifth-generation directors Zhang Yi and Feng Xiaogang, whom she once wanted to collaborate with but looked down on as a television actress, were no less impressive than her ex-husband. In fact, her ex-husband seemed to be even stronger in terms of the commercial appeal of his films.

But yesterday's box office figures speak for themselves. This film was produced solely by her ex-husband's entertainment company, Dong Sheng Film Industry. Lin Wan could easily calculate how much money her ex-husband earned yesterday. After deducting the theater's share and several fixed taxes, the net income was around 110 million.

Adding to the box office of over 200 million the previous day, it means that her ex-husband Huang Min earned the equivalent of her total income over all her years in the industry in just two days, and this is not the end.

Following this trend, even if the box office of "Letters to Grandma" drops significantly today, Monday, as long as it can hold at 150 million, the cost-benefit ratio of this film will already be quite impressive.

Thinking about these things, Lin Wan could hardly suppress the urge to remarry.

As for her ex-husband's disagreement... Lin Wan could tell from the fact that he didn't release the video content of her and Wang Zhi that he still had some feelings for her.

The reason she didn't sign the settlement agreement was because what she had done was indeed excessive, causing him to hate her. Xiaobai was his son, and Lin Wan believed that her ex-husband might have changed, just like the change she saw on his face in court two years ago, but this change was limited to her.

Especially during her imprisonment, he did not take away Xiaobai's custody.

Yang Dong said he didn't want Xiao Bai anymore... Lin Wan thought about it all night, and she thought of another possibility: that she didn't take Xiao Bai away from her because she cared about her son.

Her ex-husband's mother passed away relatively early, which is why he could better understand the pain of a child without a mother. That's why he didn't take advantage of her imprisonment to sue in court to change Xiaobai's custody to his own.

It's not like what Yang Dong and Li Yan said, that they didn't plan to have it anymore.

I just don't want Xiaobai to be without a mother.

When this thought flashed through her mind, Lin Wan was certain that her idea was correct. The other party might not care about her, but they cared about Xiao Bai. So even if she showed some attitude, for the sake of their son Xiao Bai, it was not impossible for the other party to forgive her. Lin Wan also believed that she would play the role of a good wife in the future.

She only made one mistake.

That doesn't mean she's a bad woman at heart.

After breakfast, Lin Wan took Xiao Bai back to the study. On the wall hung a calligraphy piece written by Xiao Bai's father. Lin Wan used to dislike this piece because she felt that her ex-husband's writing was messy. It was clearly a "treasure for women," but he called it "making guests feel at home." So she threw it into the storage room like trash.

Yesterday, when she took it out again, Lin Wan realized that the calligraphy she used to look down on her ex-husband had actually quite had the charm of a calligrapher, so she hung it on the wall of her study.

It's a very nice piece of calligraphy.

The sunlight outside the window grew stronger. Lin Wan sat down next to her son and helped him preview the textbooks for the next semester. When school starts again, her son will be a first-grader. She missed the two most crucial years of her son's growth, and Lin Wan didn't want to miss out on accompanying him as he grew up.

"Mom, when are we going to see Dad?"

:

The little guy, who was previewing his textbook, suddenly asked a question.

"Mom knows you miss Dad, but he's very busy right now and needs some time."

Lin Wan reached out and ruffled her son's hair, smiling as she said, "Don't worry, I'll be able to show you your dad soon."

Lin Wan also wanted to see her ex-husband as soon as possible, but the gap between their statuses was too great. It wasn't something she could just do whenever she wanted. She needed to find someone to test her ex-husband's attitude first. Fortunately, Xu Ying, a female capitalist in the entertainment industry, had arranged to meet her today yesterday afternoon. Although she didn't know what Xu Ying wanted to see her about, it was a good opportunity to meet and talk. She could also use this opportunity to get Xu Ying to help her strike up a conversation with her ex-husband, Huang Min.

The phone number has been blocked.

With the gap in their social status widening, it's not something you can just see whenever you want.

Even though Lin Wan knew that her ex-husband was currently filming a movie called "New World" and that he owned a company called Dongsheng Film Industry, Lin Wan had also found out the location of his office building.

But she worried that if she rushed over rashly, she wouldn't be able to get into either the "New World" crew or Dongsheng Pictures.

"Then hurry up, I miss my dad so much!"

The little boy spoke.

"It will be soon."

Lin Wan replied with a smile.

After previewing a page of first-grade math with her son, Lin Wan realized it was almost time and decided to leave him at home. She felt it was inappropriate for a woman like Xu Ying to be taking care of her son, as it would seem disrespectful, especially since Lin Wan didn't know why Xu Ying had come to see her.

Of course.

If Xu Ying thinks Lin Wan still has commercial value, Lin Wan wouldn't mind signing with Xu Ying's company, as long as capital can help her. Although it will still be difficult, there will be far fewer obstacles.

Let's not talk about the lead actress; let's try a supporting role with lines first to see how the audience reacts to her! If she doesn't return to the entertainment industry, Lin Wan doesn't know what she can do! Besides, she can't bear to really leave the entertainment industry to live a normal life.

After changing into an outfit she thought she was quite satisfied with, Lin Wan put on some makeup. Two years in prison had indeed caused her appearance to decline to varying degrees. Mainly, in that kind of living environment, no one could maintain a normal mindset, especially since she was often ostracized by her female inmates.

Following the address sent by Xu Ying, Lin Wan drove to a coffee shop, booked a private room, and sat quietly by the window.

I hope today's meeting will be a good start for me after my release from prison.
