"Xiaoluling? A new film and television base?!" She sat up abruptly, quickly opened the live stream replay, and her face grew increasingly grim.

Ecological park, technological support, and permanent free access for its film crews... each feature precisely addresses the industry's pain points.

Even more frightening is that Yan Yueqing actually bypassed the capital barriers of traditional film and television bases, forcing the vested interests of traditional film and television cities to fight back and completely subverting the rules of the industry!
"Has she gone mad?!" Tan Ru's fingers trembled slightly as she immediately dialed the number of the investors behind her.

On the other end of the phone, the usually calm voice now carried an unusual tension: "We just received data that seventeen top-tier film crews have contacted Zhongxing Entertainment, five of which were originally S+ projects we invested in..."

Tan Ru's nails almost dug into her palms, her voice icy: "Is she going to flip the table?"

After a moment of silence, the investor slowly said, "If her 'integrity rating system' can really be implemented, in the future, when film crews choose a production location, they won't look at who offers the most kickbacks, but rather whose service is more transparent."

Tan Ru's breath hitched.

—Yan Yueqing not only built a new base, she is also rewriting the rules of the game!

Meanwhile, the comment section is still flooded with messages:
[Holy crap! Free forever?! This is ripping off traditional film studios!]

[Many construction companies are still charging exorbitant site fees; Mr. Yue is absolutely furious, hahaha]

[Capital: Wait, why isn't she playing by the rules?!]

Tan Ru stared intently at the screen, finally realizing—

Yan Yueqing's move wasn't competition at all; it was a devastating attack!

She spent a fortune to build a new type of film and television base, specifically to compete with existing capital.

If capital tries to block her path, she forges a new one.

Tell everyone: Yan Yueqing is not afraid of the power of capital...

yes……

In the past, Yan Yueqing's "Baby Project," "Monthly Project," and "Homeless Base"... even though they advertised that they invested a lot of money, in the eyes of capital, they were nothing more than small-scale operations! They were simply not worthy of serious consideration!

After Jiang Chuanning joined the group, things did improve, but Yan Yueqing was not the one in charge. No matter how much netizens called her "President Yue," she didn't have the ability to fight against capital.

Later, when Xingyue changed owners, they began to vaguely realize that something was wrong.

Xingyue's largest shareholder at one time... also had the surname Jiang...

With Yan Yueqing gone, Xingyue's executives were powerless to resist and obediently handed over their shares and left, making her the absolute controlling shareholder of Xingyue?
This technique is just like what the stars do!

Those capitalists were slow to realize—

Perhaps Jiang Chuanning, one of the stars, is a smokescreen, and the real power holder is Yan Yueqing?
But is that even possible? Could anyone really be so comfortable entrusting 70% of a company's shares to another person and becoming the behind-the-scenes boss?

Laugh to death!

A behind-the-scenes boss with no shares? Couldn't that just get them killed?
Some investors tried to find out what the relationship was between Yan Yueqing and the Jiang family, but naturally came up empty-handed.

They dared not guess, had absolutely no clue, so they simply resorted to ruthless measures—

So what about Jiang Chuanning? So what about Yan Yueqing?
Who cares what their relationship is?!

Ultimately, they call the shots in the Chinese entertainment industry!
What if you acquire Zhongxing and Xingyue? What good will that do? Can a second-tier entertainment company really survive on actors alone?
They can't interfere with advertising endorsements for the time being, but they have a lot more say in film and television.

With venues, publicity, and censorship in hand, how much power does Yan Yueqing have to fight against them?

Hengdian, Shantou, Wuxi... If they unite and refuse to provide any convenience to the film crew, where can your actors go to film?

Who bought the trending topics? Who decided the theatrical release schedule? Who released the press releases? Without investor approval, the company's films struggle to even get released!

Sensitive subject matter, censorship issues, content adjustments... any excuse can be used to indefinitely postpone her project.

The power of capital can never be shaken by one person alone.

Yan Yueqing has some money, but how long can she keep covering for these companies?
That's not just an investment of tens of millions!

Throwing billions of dollars into it might not even make a ripple.

Could the Yan family really let Yan Yueqing's efforts go to waste?
Of course not!
Therefore, capital is satisfied with suppressing the filming of the stars' new dramas, intending to use this as a breakthrough point to gradually break down the alliance that seems so fragile.

Who would have thought?!

Yan Yueqing had actually made preparations long ago?!
A multi-billion dollar base, and this is only the first phase of the project. What's hidden in that back mountain? Nobody knows!
Capital suddenly realized—

So, Yan Yueqing was serious this time?!

Ber?! How much money do you have? How can you spend so much?!
Yan Yueqing herself is not concerned about what capital considers a "declaration of war" or the passionate discussions among netizens.

This base was just a basic operation to get cashback on investment.
Jun Jiu has done a great job. She plans to continue investing in it and strive to create a base that satisfies all her companies.

Aside from that, other people's opinions and discussions have nothing to do with her.
It would be better to go back and check on Ji Li's situation sooner!
On the way back, Yan Yueqing suddenly spoke up: "Hearing your description at the base today reminded me of something..."

Jun Jiu paused slightly on the steering wheel, then turned to look at her: "President Yue, please speak."

Yan Yueqing gazed at the night scene rushing past the window, and carefully chose her words: "I have some connections with certain technologies..."

"Huh?" Jun Jiu didn't react for a moment and subconsciously stepped on the brake, causing the car to pause slightly on the empty street.

Yan Yueqing smiled, her tone as calm as if she were discussing tomorrow's weather: "For example, holographic projection technology, AI intelligent scene building, or even... virtual actors."

Jun Jiu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened involuntarily.

Virtual actors?!

Yan Yueqing turned her head, her gaze deep and calm: "Do you think that if the production crew no longer relies on location shooting, and is no longer limited by venues, weather, and extra scheduling... can capital still hold us by the throat?"

Jun Jiu's throat tightened, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "President Yue, you mean..."

Yan Yueqing smiled slightly, not answering directly, but saying, "However, these technologies are not quite perfect. As a film and television company, if we want to release them directly, it's like a piece of fat meat falling into a wolf's den, which will be coveted by all sides, which is very troublesome!"

Jun Jiu understood her meaning, thought for two seconds, and asked uncertainly, "The Jun family has a company that specializes in this field. Does President Yue intend to hand over the technology to them for further research?"

Yan Yueqing thought about the companies she hadn't finished inspecting yet: "The Jun family's R&D capabilities are indeed quite good, but... I also have a few inconspicuous technology companies under my name, which are currently working on some interesting little gadgets."

Jun Jiu immediately understood: "Is Yue planning to... feign an attack while secretly advancing?"

"Smart." Yan Yueqing nodded in satisfaction. "The Jun family can handle the overt technical cooperation. As for the real core technology... let me see if there's a suitable one, and then the two families can work together." Jun Jiu was extremely impressed.

I really admire the decisiveness of the future matriarch.

Those who are eager to climb into the Jun family and leech off others always pretend to be innocent and pure whenever they come over, acting as if they don't care about the Jun family's resources at all, which is completely different from the mistress's "take it" attitude.

Being open and generous is so much better!
Yan Yueqing hadn't finished organizing the data yet, but estimated a timeframe: "Come to the manor in three days, and I'll give you the data. As for which company in the Jun family to hand it over to, and how to operate and develop it, we'll discuss that then."

"Okay~"

Jun Jiu is so happy she's flying high~~~
See, it's great that things at the base have been handled in a way that pleases General Yue!
That's why Mr. Yue always thinks of the Jun family first when there's something good to be had!

When he gets back, the head of the family will surely praise him endlessly!

We finished work not too late today, and got back to the manor just in time for dinner.

After happily staying for dinner, Jun Jiu hurriedly went to report to the head of the household.

Yan Yueqing then returned to her room.

At the dinner table, Junyan's adorable expression—unable to hold back his words yet afraid of being discovered—made her laugh uncontrollably several times.

Now, if he leaves the table, he'll find an excuse to sneak back up within five minutes at most.

Sure enough, just as Yan Yueqing turned on her computer and entered the secret system, the door creaked open.

Junyan's little head peeked through the crack in the door, his round eyes flashing with unease. He quietly closed the door, and only after confirming that no one in the corridor was paying attention to him did he quickly run to Yan Yueqing's side.

“Mom,” he said in a low voice, his little hands nervously clenched together, “I have something important to tell you.”

"Have you reached a conclusion regarding Brother Ji Li's matter?"

Junyan's eyes widened: "Mom noticed? I thought I hid it well!"

“You’ve been secretly watching him all night, your eyes are practically glued to him. Every time he looks down and doesn’t look at me, your brows furrow even more.” Yan Yueqing gently pinched her son’s cheek. “Don’t worry, Mom is paying special attention to you, that’s how I noticed the strangeness. As for Ji Li, he has more on his mind than you, he probably won’t be able to see your expression for a while.”

"Oh, that's good!" Jun Yan breathed a sigh of relief, a seriousness beyond his years appearing on his face. "Mom, I think Brother Ji Li... he not only doesn't like you, he even... hates you a little."

Yan Yueqing's expression turned serious.

From her conversation with her son yesterday, she did sense that the new boy had a strange aversion to her, but she didn't expect Yanbao to use such a strong word as "hate".

"Tell me, what did you discover?"

Junyan straightened his little body and began to report like a little detective: "This afternoon in the garden, as my mother asked, I deliberately mentioned Qin Youran's name in front of him, but his reaction was very strange."

"What a strange method?"

“His eyes lit up instantly, like…like he’d heard about his favorite candy.” Junyan tried to find a suitable metaphor. “Then I pretended to accidentally let slip that Aunt Qin had been locked up, and his expression immediately changed.”

Yan Yueqing pondered, "What will it become?"

“He looked very sad, but more than that, he was angry.” Junyan’s little hand unconsciously gripped his mother’s sleeve. “Especially when I mentioned that Aunt Qin was being sued by Uncle Qian because she and Huang Zhen spread rumors about Mom, the way he looked at me was terrifying, like he wanted to eat me up.”

Yan Yueqing hugged her son and gently stroked his back: "And then?"

"Then I pretended not to notice and continued talking about other things. During dinner, I deliberately sat next to him and found that he kept secretly looking at you." Junyan looked up at his face. "It wasn't the kind of looking out of curiosity, it was... the kind of looking out of disgust."

Yan Yueqing nodded.

The occasional glances Ji Li cast tonight were definitely not those of an eight-year-old child.

Too complex, too profound, as if bearing resentment far beyond his years.

"Mom, I think he's dangerous." Junyan's voice was filled with worry. "Why does he like Aunt Qin so much? And why does he hate you so much? You two didn't even know each other before."

We just won't know each other in this life...

The system had already stated that when she returned from the flow of time, she took some memories from the future with her.

Some belong to her, and some belong to others.

What they have in common is that they are all copies of memories from a world they can never return to.

The imposter took over her body, went too far, and committed suicide by jumping into the sea. Qin Youran, through the use of the Wangbao, rose to a prominent position. Those who had received even a little kindness from Qin Youran after she profited from the situation remembered that favor more clearly than anyone else, etching it into their very bones.

Based on Ji Li's reaction, he was probably also interfered with by those future memories.

Just like when I first came back, I couldn't tell what was real and what was fake at all.

If we had followed our memories back then, we would have missed a lot of facts!
She has a system that has been helping her find the truth, which has allowed her to gradually stabilize and establish her current rhythm and development.

But Ji Li can't do that~
He had nothing left. His grandmother was critically ill, and Aunt Qin Youran, who he thought would be able to help him, was imprisoned. The "culprit" behind everything suddenly reached out to him.

Of course he would be afraid, suspicious, and hateful!

Yan Yueqing fully understood and didn't care about Ji Li's reaction or attitude.

Memory is influenced by emotions. To put it bluntly, Ji Li was a child who lacked love and resources.

The fact that he could keep Qin Youran in his heart for so long proves that he is a very grateful child.

In this life, his grandmother is still alive, and his life has just begun; there's still time for everything.

Yan Yueqing kissed her son's forehead: "Thank you, my little detective. There's a reason why Mom asked you to test Ji Li's feelings for Qin Youran..."

She briefly explained the situation, and although Junyan was only five years old, he understood.

"So... Brother Ji Li doesn't genuinely hate Mother; he's just being influenced by some memories?"

"Yes, it's like a sapling whose trunk is bitten by pests during its growth."

"Then Mom, I must help Brother Ji Li get rid of these pests!" Jun Yan said earnestly.

Looking at her son's earnest little face, Yan Yueqing couldn't help but kiss him again: "My little Yan is so kind, but this matter needs to be taken slowly, we can't rush it."

Junyan tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Mom, what should I do?" (End of this chapter)
