Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

My wife has finished her postpartum confinement period.

It's time to go back to Shenzhen.

The mother-in-law and mother-in-law should have had enough time to calm down by now, and they should realize that the young couple is not someone they, as parents, can manipulate at will.

I want to take care of my grandson!

I want to take care of my grandson!

Then take good care of them and don't cause any trouble!

It's understandable that old people want to enjoy family life and be with their grandchildren. But if they go too far, Lu Yang won't tolerate it. Just like this time, he can take his wife and son to stay in the capital for half a month, or he can simply take his wife and son to settle down in the capital and get away from their overly controlling elders.

Got off the plane.

Lu Yang did not notify the Beijing company to pick him up at the airport.

He even kept it a secret from his wife.

Mingyue had just finished her postpartum confinement, and he didn't want her to be tired, so he specially came to the airport to wait for his flight.

As for his secretary, well, don't even mention her. Xu Siqi has become inseparable from her best friend Yin Mingzhu. The two of them are busy on set every day, watching the director shoot the company's product commercials. They have no time to pay attention to him.

Once a woman has a career she loves and is busy with it, she can temporarily not need a man.

Hmm, it's in the way!
Men will only slow down their knife-wielding speed!

"You're focused on building your career, huh?"

"Alright, then I'll assign you even more projects to work on, so you'll be so busy you won't have time to rest."

After getting in the car.

Lu Yang wasn't just a hands-off manager; when he was bored, he also took the time to learn about the company's affairs in Beijing.

So he started talking to himself.

Perfect timing! With no one around to bother me, I can spend some quality time with Mingyue, who just finished her postpartum confinement!
Hmm, I'll make it up to my wife.

result……

"Hey, where's my wife?"

After Lu Yang entered the courtyard, he looked around for a long time but couldn't find his wife or his son.

"Aunt Liu, where is he?"

Finally, the nanny told him that the lady of the house, along with her young son, had been dragged to the film set by his sister-in-law that morning.

They said today is crucial because I'll get to meet my idol, Jacky Cheung, who plays Wong Fei-hung.

Lu Yang then slapped his forehead and remembered that in recent years, Jie Ge from the mainland had made a name for himself in Hong Kong by filming the Wong Fei-hung series of movies. With the box office success, and the introduction of pirated DVDs to the mainland, he also became a household name in the mainland, becoming an idol kung fu superstar of a generation. In addition, there was the filter of Shaolin Temple from more than ten years ago. When he said those three words, who in the whole of China did not know them?

Lu Yang had seen Shaolin Temple and even dreamed that he would become a kung fu master when he grew up.

So it's understandable that my wife, who is from the same generation as me, would go to see Brother Jie. Well, I guess I'll go to the film set too.

This sister-in-law is just making trouble for him for no reason; it's outrageous!
With a mix of anticipation and resentment, Lu Yang turned and left the courtyard. After getting into the car, he instructed Xiao Jiu to drive to the company's advertising filming location.

It's not too far.

It's a journey of about ten minutes.

When Lu Yang arrived at the film set, he saw his wife holding their son in the middle from afar. Beside them were the wicked woman Yin Mingzhu, the secretary Xu Siqi, and a man who, although not very tall, had a particularly charismatic presence.

The four of them stood together for a group photo!

Even the photographer was none other than director Guo Li!

That's good!
The pay is quite good!
Lu Yang's face showed satisfaction. His wife was valued and respected, which meant that his efforts over the years had not been in vain.

So I stood with my arms crossed, far behind the crew, watching them take the group photo.

Group photos of four, three, two, they took photos with each other in different ways.

Especially after Brother Jie learned that the woman holding the child was actually the wife of the chairman of Century Group, he immediately asked the makeup artist to give him a Wong Fei-hung make-up, put him in Wong Fei-hung costume, and then take a photo with the three of them.

The three little girls were overjoyed.

Sudden……

"husband."

Yin Mingyue put the child down, handed the child to her sister next to her, and quickly ran towards Lu Yang, who was standing behind the onlookers.

This has left many people at a loss!
The incident happened too suddenly. However, when Yin Mingzhu took the child from her sister's arms, she was stunned to hear the word "husband". Following her sister Yin Mingyue's running gaze, she saw Lu Yang standing behind the staff member. He was half a head taller than the average staff member and had his arms crossed.

It suddenly dawned on me.

Turning his head to Brother Jie, who also had a surprised expression on his face, he said, "This is our client, Mr. Lu from Century Group. Brother Jie, he's a very easy person to talk to. I'll introduce you to him later."

Since she's entered the advertising industry, she'll inevitably have to deal with these big-name celebrities. Brother Jie is already a top-tier action star, especially in China, where his influence is considerable. Yin Mingzhu seized the opportunity and naturally hoped to build a good relationship with him.

To put it bluntly, she wanted to use Lu Yang's visit to the set today as an opportunity to firmly establish Lu Yang's reputation on her newly opened company, which hadn't even been open for a month. She wanted to start with her friend Jie Ge and gradually spread the word throughout the entertainment industry across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong...

With such a powerful backer, will she ever lack resources again?
It's not that Lu Yang gave it to them, but as long as his prestigious reputation exists, it will bring their company an unimaginable amount of resources.

"Husband, why are you here?"

Although it had only been ten days or so since they last saw each other, Yin Mingyue had been pregnant for ten months and hadn't been intimate with Lu Yang for a long time. She had finally given birth and finished her postpartum confinement, and thought that her husband, who was away on a business trip, wouldn't be back so soon. Unexpectedly, when she took her son out to meet her idol and take a photo with him, her husband suddenly appeared...

Suddenly, joy came from heaven.

With a hint of embarrassment at being caught by her husband taking a photo with another man, Yin Mingyue could no longer care about her personal dignity. After handing the child to her sister, she ran to Lu Yang, wrapped her arms around his neck, as if afraid that her husband would run away.

Lu Yang spun Yin Mingyue around twice while she was clinging to him, then put her down and teased her, "What's wrong? Did your husband appear at the wrong time?"

Yin Mingyue quickly waved her hands and shook her head, blushing as she said, "No, no..."

Lu Yang laughed and interrupted her explanation, saying, "Alright, I was just teasing you."

He then took Yu Yinmingyue's hand and walked towards the national teacher in front of the camera.

"Mr. Lu."

This was an old acquaintance; they had collaborated several years ago when filming an advertisement for the Xiaotiancai learning machine. Lu Yang greeted the man and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Guoli, could you please include me in the group photo and take another set of pictures for us?"

"No problem, Mr. Lu, please."

The client's request, especially such a small one, is something that no one would say they can't fulfill at this point.
There was absolutely no disappointment in the way Mr. Guoli agreed very readily, even though it would mean he would get off work later and not be able to go home to be with his newlywed wife as soon as possible.

Lu Yang took Yin Mingyue's hand and walked towards the three people in the center of the field.

Yin Mingyue's nose was sweating with excitement, and her face showed a mixture of shyness and joy.

Yin Mingzhu held their child, her expression complex for a moment, but then she suddenly remembered something and began to feel relieved.

She has just started her company and is focused on building her business. Thinking too much and getting too caught up in things won't do her any good; it will only hinder the company's future development.

Only Xu Siqi, who was standing next to her, didn't think that way. Her eyes were fixed on the hands of Lu Yang and Yin Mingyue as they walked over.

I really want to take his place.

But she also knew that she had no chance at all. Over the years, as the chairman's secretary, how could she not know the true nature of the relationship between the couple and how deep it was?
So aside from envy, she didn't dare to feel jealous, because she was already very content to be able to stay by the boss's side at all times.

Having inappropriate thoughts will only hasten her departure from this awful boss.

"Humph!"

"hateful!"

"I want to do it again next time..."

She could only think that way in her heart, throw a little tantrum, and then use this excuse to get Lu Yang to hold her hand in public once more.

what?
Afraid of being seen?
Couldn't we find a place where everyone around us is a stranger? Like abroad...

She doesn't care, but the lousy boss definitely will, and he'll definitely make all the arrangements.

snort!
Another unpleasant place.

Lu Yang glared at her from a distance, telling her to put away her temper and not give herself away.

Then he reached out his hand to Brother Jie and said, "Brother Jie, hello, I'm your fan."

The term "fans" originated from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Within a few years, people in mainland China who follow celebrities generally refer to themselves as fans of a particular actor or singer.

Hearing such an affectionate term as "fan," especially coming from the mouth of Lu Yang, a billionaire, Brother Jie showed a surprised expression and quickly grasped Lu Yang's hand, saying, "Mr. Lu, you're too kind."

This wasn't their first meeting; they had collaborated on an advertising campaign before. However, this time Lu Yang didn't need to greet him, making it seem particularly formal.

They gave him, Brother Jie, plenty of face.

"Mr. Lu, how about we take a picture together?"

Lu Yang didn't even need to bring it up; Brother Jie had already tactfully invited him first.

Lu Yang nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

So they started again. First, Lu Yang and Jie took a photo of themselves. Then Yin Mingyue joined in, and the couple gave each other a thumbs up. They had Jie stand in the middle for another photo, and finally Yin Mingzhu and Xu Siqi joined in for a group photo. The five of them took a big group photo together.

With that, the shoot was successfully completed. Without even asking how the advertisement went, Lu Yang turned around and asked Brother Jie if he was free to have dinner together that night.

As a kung fu superstar, Jay Chou is currently at the height of his popularity.

There's no need for him to fawn over Lu Yang like this.

But right now he's facing a problem and wants to ask Lu Yang for help. Of course, Lu Yang might not be able to help him with this.

But we should at least give it a try.

So he readily nodded in agreement, "No problem, since it was Mr. Lu who invited me, I will definitely be there on time."

His original plan was to finish filming the advertisement and then fly directly from Beijing back to the film crew that afternoon.

I've even booked the plane tickets.

But for Lu Yang's sake, he didn't even hesitate before deciding to cancel his plane ticket, call the director, and stay another day.

I believe the director will understand and support his decision after hearing this.

Sure enough, when he left the set and called the crew in Hong Kong, director Gordon Chan immediately supported his decision. Losing a day of filming was nothing, but if they could get the film released in mainland China, it would definitely be a great thing that would bring greater returns to the investors.

Moreover, the biggest investor in the movie "Fist of Legend" which is currently being filmed is Jay Chou's own company in Hong Kong, East East Productions.

In addition, Golden Harvest Films in Hong Kong and Beijing Film Studio in mainland China were also involved.

He is the second and third largest investor besides his own company.

It's worth mentioning here that Golden Harvest Pictures joined as an overseas distributor, responsible for the overseas distribution of the film "Fist of Legend".

After all, in this era, revenue from movie tapes and VCDs had begun to account for the majority of movie merchandise revenue.

It even surpasses the box office revenue.

What about the Beijing Film Studio?

Was there a specific purpose behind bringing them in?
That's true, but it's not what everyone imagines. The involvement of Beijing Film Studio as one of the investors means that "Fist of Legend" has become a co-production and can be openly shown in mainland cinemas. That's just wishful thinking.

The reason is actually quite touching.

There has always been a rule that, regardless of which film company in Hong Kong or Taiwan is involved, if they want to film movies or TV series in mainland China, then the film or TV series must receive investment from a mainland film company. Otherwise, they simply cannot film in mainland China. Therefore, filming in mainland China does not mean that it is a co-production, nor does it mean that it has obtained the qualification for release in mainland cinemas or passed the censorship for release in mainland China.

These are two completely different things.

The reason Jet Li accepted Lu Yang's invitation and even canceled his schedule for this afternoon, sacrificing a day of filming to stay, was to see if he could make a breakthrough with Lu Yang.

Chairman of Century Group.

The youngest billionaire in China.

Lu Yang, whose newly topped-out building is currently the tallest in Asia and still holds the record, certainly has a lot of prestige.

"So, Brother Jie, you want to make 'Fist of Legend' a true co-production and hope I can help you bring it to the mainland so that it can be released simultaneously in the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan?"

At the banquet, Lu Yang smiled, held his wine glass, and said the above words to Brother Jie, whose expression showed slight anticipation. (End of Chapter)
