Because of the film review, Ye Zhen ran into Mrs. Zhou at a reception on purpose.
The two had a very happy conversation. Mrs. Zhou liked her frankness and enthusiasm, while Ye Zhen liked her grace and gentleness. The two of them sat down and put aside the matter of the reception. When Mrs. Zhou asked Ye Zhen what happened recently When she was busy with something, Ye Zhen didn't directly say that she was busy with the movie submission recently, instead she chatted some gossip.
Mrs. Zhou just kept looking at her, Ye Zhen was embarrassed to look straight at her.
"You're as fine as a human being, why don't you feel embarrassed to speak out in front of me now?"
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I was thinking, I don't need to bother you about the movie."
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the film review, I will tell Lao Zhou that the review will be passed as soon as possible."
"No," Ye Zhen rejected her, "Mrs. Zhou, thank you for your kindness. You don't need to let Mayor Zhou do business for personal gain. What I mean is that I want the review department to review according to the law in the next review work, but if some clips And if the plot does not meet the regulations, I hope the review department can give the film crew an answer as soon as possible."
Mrs. Zhou immediately understood what she meant.
It's not uncommon to grind foreign workers. A movie can be delayed for at least a few months, or a year or two.
The department can afford it, but she can't afford to delay this movie.
But what Ye Zhen said did make Mrs. Zhou feel good.
Officials are most taboo to get in touch with businessmen.
"I know what to tell Lao Zhou."
Ye Zhen and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other and smiled, and said no more about this topic.
Just like what Mrs. Zhou said, the following days of the review went very smoothly, and the connection between Chaoxun Entertainment and the review department went very smoothly.
However, during this period of time, Ye Zhenting's case review was coming to an end.
Ye Zhenting's case finally came to a verdict after more than four months, from the arrest review to the prosecution to the trial.
Ye Zhenting was convicted of kidnapping and extortion, with witnesses, material evidence and telephone recordings. Ye Zhenting confessed to the charge and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The reason why Ye Zhenting pleaded guilty so quickly was probably because he felt that even if he appealed, he would be a loan shark waiting for him when he got out of the prison gate. Maybe he wanted to save his life. There is nothing left.
Therefore, as long as the loan sharks can't find a prison, Ye Mu and Ye Qing, the loan sharks will not hurt their lives no matter what, at most they will take away the family's villa car.
However, for the past four months, Mother Ye posted Weibo on the Internet every day, angrily berating Ye Zhen for disregarding the relationship between father and son, framing Ye Zhenting, and claiming to call the police to expose Ye Zhen's true colors!
Mother Ye also wrote a small article, which described Ye Zhen's indifference to the Ye family all these years, her greed for vanity, and her brother-in-law's occupation. .
On Weibo, she was like a lunatic, biting Ye Zhen.
Of course, this kind of ethical drama has naturally attracted the attention of many fans. A month ago, many fans scolded Mother Ye for not knowing what to do, and dumped the link to the high-rise building on a certain forum. Mother Ye strongly denied that the post said Instead, he insisted that someone was deliberately discrediting the Ye family.
Of course, there are also some "reasonable guests" who think that a slap can't be slapped. If Mother Ye dares to say that, Ye Zhen must have done something outrageous and grievances that they don't know. They shouted at Ye Zhen and asked Ye Zhen to come forward and clean up the matter. After all, we are a family, broken bones are still connected, don't be so ruthless.
But these enthusiasms dissipated with the passage of time.
A month later, Mother Ye continued to bite, except for the navy stationed under her Weibo, no one paid any attention to her.
No matter what she said, no one believed it anymore.
Four months later, Ye Zhenting was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Not long after, someone seemed to have seen the news of the Ye family villa and the real estate auction under the name of the Ye family on the Internet. According to insiders, in order to repay the huge usury owed by Ye Zhenting, the Ye family had to sell all the property.
Ye Qing's contract was still looking for entertainment, she couldn't afford the high liquidated damages, and she had no chance of winning the lawsuit. Unknowingly, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
Except for Mother Ye who is still biting on the Internet.
But it didn't seem to work because Ye Zhen didn't pay attention at all.
The trailer of "The Bank of the Qinhuai River" has been released. Although he is an unknown director, fortunately, Chaoxun Entertainment has done a good job in promoting it online and offline, and spared no effort.
While Chaoxun Entertainment was making a lot of publicity, everyone also discovered that the producer list on the movie was actually Ye Zhen!
Ye Zhen
Lu Beichuan's wife Ye Zhen
When did you become a producer
Many people put Ye Zhen's resume on the table, but found that all the achievements in the past were mediocre. Coupled with the powerful and well-produced trailer, many people have doubts about this movie.
The director is unknown, and the producer has nothing to do with the industry. Except for the heroine Meng Jie, who was so popular four years ago, the rest of the actors are third- and fourth-tier actors who are not well-known in the entertainment industry.
Such a lineup of the crew can't help but make people doubt the quality of the movie.
But more doubts about Lu's card, whether he misread it or was fooled by insiders.
After all, the trailer is only a few minutes long, no matter what you say about a movie, it can still capture a few minutes of wonderful footage.
While online chatter swirled about the widely publicized movie, the news came out of nowhere.
Rumors of the male protagonist cheating on legs, driving under the influence of alcohol, beating reporters, and playing big names are overwhelming.
The actor who played the hero's mother was once mistress, who forced the original wife to have a miscarriage.
The supporting actress has a chaotic private life. She has an affair with Ning Yang, the director of "By the Qinhuai River".
Even the heroine, Meng Jie, could not escape the revelations. She was kept by the patron for five years before she achieved the brilliant results she achieved four years ago.
With the black material accompanying the entire crew, Chaoxun Entertainment is facing a huge public relations crisis.
Qin Zhiyin's rhythm is not chaotic at all. Based on her past experience, she has dealt with the public relations of these black materials, clarified and issued a lawyer's letter, and public relations through various channels, but the other party seems to be clenching, and she is about to bite the block on the movie "Qinhuai Riverside". The meat comes.
There is nothing to be afraid of this kind of pettiness. From another point of view, black people are also a kind of attention. The more black people, the wider the scope of communication, and the attention of netizens is limited. This kind of enthusiasm , can't last too long.
But at this moment, another piece of news came out.
The review of "The Bank of the Qinhuai River" was bought by Lu's money, saying that Lu's officials and businessmen are protecting each other.
The whistleblower swears, claiming that he has the material.
This hot spot directly detonated the attention of netizens.
Qin Zhiyin sent a lawyer's letter directly to the whistleblower, strongly condemning such groundless rumors, but the whistleblower seemed determined, and he did not change his words, insisting that Lu had colluded with the review department.
This matter seems to have alerted the relevant departments, which is a big deal.
Qin Zhiyin informed Lu Beichuan of this matter, and after Lu Beichuan started an investigation, he discovered that it was actually written by Youshi.
Meng Jie probably guessed that You Jing would not let her go easily, so she called You Jing.
This is the first time Meng Jie has taken the initiative to call You Jing since she was banned by You Jing four years ago.
When Meng Jie made a phone call, You Jing was still in a state of drunkenness, dreaming and spitting out clouds and mist. They were all gangsters from rich families, and all of them were from well-to-do families who had no worries about their future.
When the phone rang, You Jing hadn't noticed yet, but a dude next to him got impatient and raised his neck and yelled, "Who the fuck's phone is ringing? It's so noisy!"
Everyone checked their mobile phones, but they didn't ring.
Someone pointed at You Jing, "You Shao, your phone is ringing."
You Jing squinted at him, and after a long time lazily picked up the phone, the name on the phone's incoming call immediately revived him, jumped up from the sofa with a groan, and asked someone to turn off the music quickly, so he didn't even talk.
These playboys all looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't know who he was so excited to receive a call from. Even his father Cha Gang had never seen him so prepared before.
The music stopped and the vocals became weaker. You Jing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. When his hands were trembling and he was about to press the answer button, a conceited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
So what if Lu's backer is there, as long as he doesn't agree, there's no way to make a smooth comeback, and if he doesn't talk about breaking up, Meng Jie won't even want to break up!
You Jing answered the phone and answered, "What's the matter?"
On the phone, Meng Jie didn't say much, and asked him neatly, "What about the movie, what did you do?"
You Jing was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized, "You said that..."
There was a momentary silence on the phone.
No sound at all.
Quietly, as if the answer to the phone just now didn't exist.
You Jing became inexplicably uneasy.
When he was with Meng Jie, his friends bet that they would break up in a few months this time, but at that time only he knew in his heart that he didn't play, he was serious, and he really wanted to be with Meng Jie.
The first time he saw Meng Jie, all his three souls and seven souls were hooked by Meng Jie. He was in a daze all day long, and his whole heart was with Meng Jie. He would be happy to have a few words with Meng Jie All day long, during that time, he was like a young boy who was in love for the first time and didn't know how to deal with himself.
Why Meng Jie agreed to You Jing, You Jing's cronies have not been able to figure it out yet.
Meng Jie is obviously the kind of person who is high-spirited and doesn't want to be with a woman like you who is full of money and has nothing to do. He and You Jing are people in two worlds.
After a few years of sweet and sweet stumbles like this, just when everyone thought You Shao washed his hands and went ashore and stepped into the grave of marriage, the two actually broke up!
In the past, You Shao dumped others, how could anyone else dump him
Everyone was waiting to see a good show, but the result did not disappoint them. You Jing pretended to be a grandson in front of Meng Jie for several years. Once they broke up and regained their original nature, they directly banned him and returned to the life of a playboy.
There was no sound on the phone, You Jing became more and more uneasy, picked up the wine glass in front of the table and took a big sip of wine to embolden himself.
"You Jing, do you know why I broke up with you back then?"
You Jing nestled on the sofa, his whole body was hot, and he was pulling his tie irritably. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, then sat up straight suddenly, and put all his energy on his mobile phone.
Meng Jie didn't give him this answer back then, no matter how much he asked.
"Why?"
"Because I was pregnant," Meng Jie's voice was soft and slow, as if she was talking about something unrelated to her, "but because of you, I had a miscarriage."
You Jing's face was pale. He wanted to ask for specific details, and asked Meng Jie when it happened and why she didn't tell him at that time, but some words came to his lips but he couldn't speak anyway. His whole body trembled violently, and his eyes were red. Yes, maybe it's the alcohol, maybe it's something else, who knows.
"You Jing, I will never forgive you in my life."
Meng Jie let out a long sigh and hung up the phone.
It has been five years, and it still sticks in her heart like a thorn. She can't forget the big bloodstain and the feeling when the child was separated from her.
She had loved You Jing, but it was only love, they were not suitable.
It is said that Meng Jie was banned by You Jing back then, but it was not Meng Jie who was escaping from herself.
It's okay to talk about it.
Meng Jie breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the Qinhuai River" is the achievement of the whole crew working hard, and it concerns everyone. She can't let the whole crew accompany her and be framed by You Jing for no reason.
***
"So? The matter of public opinion is settled like this?" Ye Zhen looked at the report sent by Qin Zhiyin, puzzled.
Qin Zhiyin nodded, "That's right, the person who broke the news apologized, claiming that he was wrong, and he is willing to accept all legal actions from the Lu family."
Ye Zhen thought for a while, and felt that this matter should have something to do with Meng Jie. After all, that lunatic You Jing would never give up the chance to bite easily.
"It's hard for you to keep an eye on this matter. By the way, it's the end of the year and the Spring Festival is coming. What are your plans?"
Gossiping, Qin Zhiyin's tense nerves relaxed, "What can I plan, go home for the New Year, how about you, Mrs. Lu?"
After getting along during this time, Ye Zhen liked Qin Zhiyin's meticulous work, casual personality outside of work, and a clear distinction between public and private.
"Go back to the old house."
After the porridge full moon feast, Mr. Lu took Lu Bo back to the old house, and he hasn't been back to see it till now.
Occasionally, the family would bring congee and porridge back for a two-day stay to see Mr. Lu, but when they returned to the old house during the Spring Festival, they would not only stay for a day or two, but also had to deal with a lot of relatives and friends of the Lu family.
Among the relatives of the Lu family, just Lu Beichuan's little uncle Lu Shaoyan was enough to worry her, and Lin Zhan was also added.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen's head grew big.
But these pleasantries are so far unavoidable.
Qin Zhiyin also knew a little about the secret affairs of the Lu family, so he immediately gave her a self-seeking look.
The temperature drops sharply, and the closer to the end of the year, the streets and alleys are gradually adding some festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
The servants loaded the daily necessities into the car, and Lu Bo, who came to pick them up, insisted that the old house had everything, so there was no need to bring it, but Mother Lu insisted that the things at home were the most useful.
Porridge Porridge is two years old, and has grown a lot under the care of the whole family. Although she is wrapped tightly by Lu's mother layer by layer, she looks like a chubby little man, with a pair of big clear glass-like eyes exposed outside, but she still does not. What prevents him from jumping and jumping is going to play in the snow.
Children are full of curiosity about the things around them.
But in such a cold day, how could Lu's mother allow him to play in the snow? Congee congee glanced at the people around him, and because he didn't see Lu Beichuan, he got mad and insisted on going to play.
"The young master is so tall!" Lu Bo immediately had a kind smile on his face when he saw Congee Congee.
Congee looked up at Lu Bo, not afraid of him, pointing to the white snow in the courtyard, "Grandpa, I want, I want to play."
"That's impossible. The weather is so cold. If you catch a cold, you need to take injections and take medicine. Do you know what to do with injections and medicine?"
Congee Congee was ignorant and probably understood the words "injection and medicine", and was so frightened that he trembled all over.
Lu Beichuan and Ye Zhen walked out of the house, glanced at each other, "What's wrong?"
Congee blinked, and was very good at being obedient in front of Lu Beichuan, "Congee is obedient, doesn't play in the snow, feels uncomfortable, needs injections and medicines."
Mother Lu knew that Congee Congee was afraid of his father, so she quickly brought the child over, "This is Grandma's good grandson! Let's go, let's go to Grandpa's house to celebrate the New Year!"
Ye Zhen glared at Lu Beichuan.
Now Lu Beichuan is the black-faced Hades in Congee Congee, needless to say anything, just standing there can make Congee Congee look obedient.
Lu Beichuan held Ye Zhen's hand tightly, "Let's go."
The two of them got into the car in front together, and Mother Lu took the congee and sat in the car with the baby chair in the back. There were two cars in front of the two cars and two cars sent by the old house to escort them. They were Ye Zhen. After being kidnapped by Ye Zhenting, he became vigilant.
The old house is some distance away from the Lu family's villa, far away from the city center, and located in a suburb with beautiful scenery, it is a good place to spend the rest of your life.
The old house has a bit of history. The architectural style of the last dynasty, with courtyards, rockery, and gardens, has been repaired and perfected by the Lu family over the years, but it still looks grand.
Three hours later, the old house finally arrived.
As soon as he got out of the car, someone greeted him with a smile, "It's finally here, the old man is waiting... Ah, this is the young master, I'll get someone to push a stroller over."
"No need," Lu Beichuan flatly rejected him, "I'm two years old, I can go on my own."
As he spoke, he waved at Congee Congee, Congee Congee curled his lips, and reluctantly walked to Lu Beichuan's side.
Ye Zhen gave Lu Beichuan a hammer when everyone turned their attention to Congee Congee, and said in a low voice, "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, you are enough."
Knowing that his wife was in distress, Lu Beichuan didn't insist anymore, leaned over and hugged Congee, Congee let out an exclamation, those big eyes that were still in shock looked straight at Lu Beichuan, and then looked at the ground, as if to Lu Beichuan The move came as a shock.
Perhaps it was the first time Lu Beichuan hugged him in Congee's few memories.
Lu Beichuan changed his posture and hugged him tighter.
Congee Congee looked at Lu Beichuan, her brows were tightly frowned, her two small hands wrapped in small gloves were raised in a daze, she looked at Ye Zhen blankly, there was a trace of grievance in her eyes, as if she didn't know what to do.
Ye Zhen looked at Congee with a little amused smile, and separated her two little furry hands and wrapped them around Lu Beichuan's neck. In Congee's shocked eyes, she held herself in the crook of Lu Beichuan's arm, under everyone's attention , a family of four walked into the gate of the old house.
Today is really lively, just stepped into the gate, the sound of laughter almost penetrated the wide courtyard, people around are busy preparing for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner, red lanterns and firecracker couplets make the whole old house look brand new.
Lu Beichuan and others followed Lu Bo into the living room, there were many people sitting in the living room, old and young, all of them were Ye Zhen's unfamiliar faces, only the old man sitting in the middle who was full of energy was recognized.
Lu Beichuan put the porridge down and led him to the front of Mr. Lu.
Before Lu Beichuan could speak, Old Man Lu looked at the chubby man next to him, and waved to him with a loving face, "Congee Congee, quickly come to Grandpa."
The people in the room were neither frightened nor shy. As soon as Lu Beichuan let go of his hand, he opened his short legs and ran towards Mr. Lu, smiling with a few immature teeth, "Grandpa, Happy New Year!" ,May you be happy and prosperous."
The child's voice was soft and glutinous, and his articulation was not so clear. Most of his face was reddened by the scarf, and he looked at Mr. Lu with a pair of big misty eyes, and smiled cleanly and purely.
Grandpa Lu's heart melted into water. He loved him so much. He hugged him and hugged him in his arms. "We are so good. We will pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa as soon as we come. Grandpa can't be too stingy." He picked up the red envelope he had prepared for Congee from the table, and handed it to him, "This is the New Year's red envelope that my grandpa gave you, take it to buy candy and eat."
Congee Congee hesitated to answer, glanced at Lu Beichuan, and said, "Mom doesn't allow me to eat candy."
"Why aren't we allowed to eat porridge and porridge?"
Porridge bared her teeth at Mr. Lu, with a naive look, "Mom said, there will be insects when eating sugar, and if you bite the teeth of porridge at night, if you have a toothache, you need to take medicine! The medicine is bitter, and porridge needs sugar." Do not take medicine!"
Everyone present was amused by Congee Congee's words.
Mr. Lu couldn't help laughing, "Then let's not eat candy, and save it to buy toys for porridge."
Lu Beichuan nodded towards porridge.
Congee Congee took the red envelope from old man Lu, and laughed loudly, "Thank you, great-grandpa! Did great-grandpa give red envelopes to parents, mother, grandma, too?"
Only then did Mr. Lu set his sights on Lu Beichuan and the others.
"Grandpa, happy new year."
Mr. Lu's smile remained undiminished, his eyes fell on Lu Beichuan and he nodded.
Mr. Lu has seen the development of the Lu family in recent years, which also proves that his original decision was correct, and he did not choose the wrong successor.
Several people sat down, and the servants quickly brought tea, cakes and other food, and everyone chatted without saying a word, it was just some polite words and greetings.
Congee congee looked around in Mr. Lu's arms. He seemed to be a little tired after sitting in the car for more than three hours. His eyelids fluttered and he suddenly saw something. Grab in a certain direction.
"what happened?"
Porridge's little hands scratched and swayed in the air, his eyes couldn't wait, "I want... I want to play with the lights..."
Everyone looked in the direction of Congee Congee's hand, and saw a person lying on his side on the sofa not far from the living room, half asleep and half awake, playing with a fist-sized, round white jade bead in his hand , the beads will also emit light of different colors, which attracts Congee's attention.
Lu Shaoyan waved at Congee Congee, "Come here, and uncle will give you this little toy."
Ye Zhen felt vigilant, but she didn't have much sense of crisis.
Seeing this scene, she just felt that Lu Shaoyan had finally attacked the child.
After all, she knew that the reason why Congee in the novel grew into such a distorted character was inseparable from Lu Shaoyan.
Pooh! The beast!
