I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Feng Xiaogang rose to fame for directing the film "The Dream Factory," whose comedic style and insightful exploration of social issues sparked deep thought and pioneered the genre of Lunar New Year films.

Because he came from an art background, his films are very detailed and also cater to the tastes of ordinary people. The themes focus on real-life survival issues, such as cars, money, and houses.

At the beginning of his fame, he also had the nickname "Feng Kuzi" (Feng the Pants). This was because a character in a TV series was adapted from his personal experience. He started as a graphic designer and later became a director and won awards. The character's name was "Feng Kuzi," so the nickname also fell on Feng Dapao (Feng the Cannon).

Although Feng Xiaogang is not a professionally trained director, he has received help from benefactors all the way to where he is today.

In the photo, he is drinking with Chen Kaige. There are many people in the picture, including Feng Dapao's wife, Xu Fan. Feng Dapao looks like a younger brother in front of Chen Kaige, and the contrast between the two is obvious.

Even Feng Xiaogang has to address Chen Kaige as a senior. It seems that even the outspoken Feng Xiaogang has to show deference to Chen Kaige.

Because of this photo, Feng Dapao had a very strong opinion of Chen Kaige.

Now that Chen Kai is in trouble, he naturally has to make fun of him.

"Old Feng, don't gloat. I don't think Chen Hong is that kind of person. It must be the result of reporters making things up."

Xu Fan said.

Although she hadn't had much contact with Chen Hong, she knew a little about Chen Hong's character.

It can be said that Chen Hong has a strong desire for control, but it cannot be said that Chen Hong is immoral or would cheat on other men.

Moreover, there have been no reports of problems in the relationship between Chen Kaige and Chen Hong.

Generally, whether it's the man or woman who cheats, it usually indicates a problem in the marriage or relationship.

Xu Fan had also heard that Chen Kaige and Chen Hong had quarreled, but these quarrels were just arguments that ended in bed and were resolved before they even got out of bed.

She also heard that even when the two argued, Chen Kai would usually take the initiative to make amends and try various methods to make Chen Hong happy.

Despite their occasional arguments, the couple has a very good relationship.

It can be said that Chen Hong is a virtuous wife. After marriage, she transitioned from an actress to a producer and directly managed Chen Kaige's money.

Chen Kai never carries money on him, and Chen Hong manages all the affairs at home.

Everyone says Chen Hong is delicate and can't handle setbacks, but actually Chen Hong is very strong inside!

When repeatedly accused of being a mistress who married into the family, Chen Hong directly retorted to netizens: "When I was dating Director Chen, we were both single. Our love was aboveboard, and there was no question of me being a mistress."

Regardless of how the two got together, Chen Kai has never had any scandals since their marriage.

The couple has a thriving career and an outstanding son; they are truly winners in life!

In Xu Fan's view, with such a happy family, Chen Hong would definitely not cheat on him.

"I believe Chen Hong too, but I just want to see Chen Kai suffer," Feng Dapao said with a smile.

Xu Fan rolled her eyes; it was the first time she had ever known that Feng Dapao had this kind of hobby.

“Old Feng, although Chen Hong may not have cheated on Cheng Sheng, it’s true that she and Cheng Sheng met at the hotel. What do you think they met for?” Xu Fan asked with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Feng Dapao stroked his chin with one hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "I've never heard of Chen Hong and Cheng Sheng having a friendly relationship! There must be something we don't know about."

“I have received some news related to Chen Kaige,” Xu Fan suddenly said.

"What news?" Feng Dapao asked hurriedly.

“Last time I had a gathering with people in the industry, I vaguely heard someone say that Chen Kaige was collecting information related to Mei Lanfang. Do you think that could be it?” Xu Fan said.

"I've also heard about this. The Wang brothers told me that Chen Kaige wants to make a biographical film about Mei Lanfang," Feng Dapao said seriously.

"Cheng Sheng's company will also be making a film or television series about an autobiography this year. Could it be that Chen Kaige is following suit and making a film about Shengli Film Company?" Xu Fan asked. "Impossible. Rumors of Chen Kaige wanting to make a film about Mei Lanfang have been circulating since last year, and Shengli Film Company only decided to make an autobiography before the Lunar New Year," Feng Dapao shook his head.

"There's no point in guessing here. We might as well ask Chen Hong or Chen Kaige directly," Xu Fan said.

"You should ask Chen Hong! I don't want to deal with Chen Kaige."

After saying that, Feng Dapao stood up from the sofa and walked towards the bedroom, saying, "I'm going to read a book."

As Xu Fan watched Feng Dapao leave, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, she hoped that Feng Dapao would ask Chen Kaige about this matter, but Feng Dapao left everything to her.

Everyone said that the two were a perfect match, and everyone envied them.

But no one knew that during the ten years she was with Feng Dapao, she carried a lot on her mind.

For example, even now, she still bears the stigma of being a 'homewrecker'.

Knowing that the other party was a married man, she still stepped into the relationship without hesitation.

She may have naively thought that she would be the exception that would make Feng Dapao settle down.

After marriage, Feng Dapao was constantly embroiled in scandals, rumors, and sex scandals.

The most sensational thing was his "tacit cooperation" with Xu Qing, and he was also caught in a vortex of public opinion because of his close interaction with Miaomiao.

Not to mention, in the chaotic film set, there are always many actresses who actively throw themselves at him in order to win a role.

Having witnessed such scenes many times, Xu Fan has come up with a set of astonishing rules for surviving in marriage.

She once made a surprising statement on a TV show: "He's a man. Even if something really happens to him, he won't be the one who suffers."

The implication was already quite clear.

Xu Fan was well aware of Feng Dapao's true nature.
She simply knew all too well what she could truly hold onto.

So she chose to compromise by "turning a blind eye".

Instead of trying to change the other person, learn to adapt and coexist in the relationship.

Over time, in the eyes of outsiders, their marriage had long since degenerated into a "mutually beneficial" partnership.

What was once a passionate love has gradually faded into a working partnership.

What Feng Dapao needs is a wife who can maintain a respectable image and a seemingly stable family; while what Xu Fan and Xu Fan want is nothing more than to hold onto everything that comes with the identity of "Mrs. Feng".

He praised her for being "sensible and knowing when to advance and retreat," while she praised him for being "talented and insightful."

But this back-and-forth flattery seemed more like a performance for outsiders.

Xu Fan maintained this kind of life for about ten years; it was a truly difficult life for her.

Although she was indignant at Feng Dapao's shirking of responsibility, Xu Fan still had to think about Feng Dapao's well-being. After all, if Feng Dapao was good, she, as 'Mrs. Feng,' would also benefit.

After reading it, the three of them looked at each other in disbelief. (End of Chapter)
