Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On March 1, Ye Chong returned to Kyoto and began working on the company's new film, "Crazy Stone".

Ning Hao's wife is a shrewd woman. When she saw Ye Chong arrive at the film crew, she beckoned Ning Hao to begin testing him.

She was naturally probing Ye Chong's intentions. This film was her husband's hard work, and she naturally didn't want Ye Chong to take it away.

To Xing Aina's surprise, Ye Chong was only busy with the preliminary preparations and didn't mention anything about directing or screenwriting. Even her husband had to consult him from time to time.

Only then did Xing Aina develop a sense of belonging, a sense of belonging to the company.

Ye Chong is not the three-headed, six-armed, man-eating demon of legend!

Indeed, you have to get to know people in person to truly understand them!

On March 29, Feiye Studio completed its upgrade and moved to its new home in the suburbs of Shunyi.

Although it's in the suburbs, it's easily accessible and inexpensive.

Although the headquarters building is small, with only fifteen floors, it is small but complete, enough to house all the subsidiaries.

In April, Ye Chong officially began his journey as a producer.

The cast of "Crazy Stone" is similar to that of the previous film. This is Huang Bo's second time playing Fei Ye in a movie, and also Fei Ye's only two movies.

The crew arrived in Chongqing YZ District on April 6th, which means they've returned to Ye Chong's home turf.

He also took on the role of part-time director, which inexplicably accelerated the filming schedule.

Three days before filming wrapped, Huang Bo found Ye Chong and bluntly asked him to take him in.

Feiye does indeed have an artist management component, but "that person" wasn't in place, which is why they haven't been caught yet.

Currently, the only artist represented is Zhang Yu. Ye Chong invited Duan Yihong, who frankly stated that he still needed to consider it.

After thinking it over, Ye Chong still signed Huang Bo, who signed a ten-year contract, as if afraid that Ye Chong would change his mind.

On May 20, filming for "Crazy Stone" officially wrapped up.

It was also during the wrap party on this day that Ye Chong received a call from someone.

"Come, come, Uncle, let me toast you!"

9:30 PM, Qiu Er Hall.

The wrap party for the film crew has been going on for an hour. After watching two movies in a row, the employees of Feiye are exhausted, so they're having a blast tonight.

Even Ye Chong's father, who was brought here to broaden his horizons, was given a lot of alcohol.

However... like father, like son. While others often need to drink three cups, Ye Pengcheng can only drink one.

At this moment, he stared sleepily at the wine glass in front of him and said, "Hey, what's up?"

Huang Bo chuckled, "Hey Uncle, I'm Bo'er, your newly adopted godson."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Chong, but the latter was drinking alone and didn't pay much attention to them. However, the director's wife, Xing Aina, was listening intently.

"You idiot! One little brat is enough to annoy me, and you want to be my godson!"

"Then I am your nephew, your nephew toasts you."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Ye Pengcheng shook his head repeatedly: "Don't talk nonsense, you little rascal! I'm only forty-eight years old this year, you're kidding me! You look like you're in your mid-twenties, how could you be your uncle?"

Huang Bo scratched his head and said in his broken Chongqing dialect, "Then, Uncle? What do you want?"

"You little bastard, you should punish yourself with a drink first."

"..."

Xing Aina smiled and glanced at Ning Hao, who was pretending to be drunk but actually watching the show with his eyes half-closed. She found it amusing; this drinking party was too interesting.

"Hello~ Motorbike!"

The phone rang, and some people at the main table who were pretending to be confused looked over.

Ye Chong drank the white wine in his glass, got up, and staggered toward the door.

"Director Ye, do you need me to help you up?"

"Support the turtle! Only turtles need to be supported! You give me a drink!"

"Duck blood, oh, one cup probably contains three ounces, uncle."

……

Outside the door, Ye Chong leaned against the glass door, reaching out to feel around on his body.

The neon lights on the street reflected a kaleidoscope of colors on his face. He fumbled around for a while but couldn't find anything, and then he remembered that he had quit smoking.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing not coolness, but a sweltering heat. Combined with the heat from the alcohol, this made Ye Chong, who was already in a bad mood, even more irritable.

"Feed?"

He didn't look at the caller ID; he didn't want to.

There was silence on the phone for more than ten seconds before a familiar female voice came through.

"Ye Chong".

His eyelids trembled instantly.

"Aunt Liu?"

"Is there something you need?"

The words we exchanged in the second-floor hallway after our last argument are still ringing in my ears, telling me not to regret it or something, so why are you calling today?

"I...I really have no other choice, sob sob sob..."

Ye Chong frowned.

He had imagined a million things that Liu's mother might say, but he never expected it to be like this!

"Why are you crying? Get to the point."

Perhaps the chilling tone in Ye Chong's words was too biting, because Liu's mother gradually stopped crying, but she was still somewhat hesitant.

"I...I was wrong."

Ye Chong's breathing gradually became heavy.

"Just talk about it. I don't think you did anything wrong. As a mother, I understand that you want to give Yifei better options."

"It's Huayi, it's Huayi that wants to sign Xixi. Her godfather isn't protecting her, and I don't have any power. I really have no other choice."

"Bang—"

The car horn was blaring, just like the sound of a telephone call.

Ye Chong curled his lips into a mocking smile.

What a pity, if only I had a cigarette right now?

He wasn't mocking Liu's mother, but himself.

I went through all the trouble of getting her agency contract back, but not only did she not appreciate it, it was all for nothing.

The original plan was for him to protect her, but after they separated, she naturally fell into a state of being unattended.

Did I do something that was well-intentioned but ended up doing something wrong?

Ye Chong, you really haven't improved at all. Your perspective, shaped by thirty years of staying at home, is just as hopeless as your personality!

"I see."

With just four words, Ye Chong hung up the phone.

On the other side, on the 13th floor of Anning Huating.

Yifei, who had already finished washing up, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and got up to go to the living room.

After searching around and not finding anyone, she focused her attention on the balcony.

"Click—"

The door opened, and they saw Liu's mother wiping away tears.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

She quickly stepped forward to support Liu's mother, "Mom, don't scare me, what's wrong?"

"Xixi." Liu's mother squeezed her small hand, her eyes full of regret: "Mom really didn't mean it, really didn't mean it."

"What are you talking about!" Yifei helped her to a seat.

Under the moonlight, Liu's mother's expression became increasingly sincere and regretful: "Qianqian, Mom was wrong. Mom was short-sighted, Mom was incompetent."

"Please, please don't say that." Yifei blushed a little.

The fact that my mother is like this clearly means that something big has happened. Is it pressure from Huayi?

Liu's mother took a deep breath, composed herself, and turned to look at her daughter: "I object to you and Ye Chong simply because I see you unhappy. Ye Chong has a lot of scandals and is very stubborn. I'm afraid that if you're with him, you'll be bullied and unhappy."

"Why are you suddenly bringing him up?"

Liu's mother remained silent.

Seeing her expression, Yifei suddenly realized: "You called him?"

"..."

"What did he say to you?"

Liu's mother sniffed and pulled her daughter's hand to her knee: "Mom told him about your predicament."

"Mom!" Yifei's voice rose considerably, but seeing her mother's tearful appearance, she softened her tone.

"Mom, you shouldn't do this. We can't always rely on others. We're not in some kind of hopeless situation. Just ignore Huayi. If they want to blacklist us or smear us, we'll just go with it."

Liu's mother: ...

My dear daughter, it's easy to say, but hard to do!

If you're blacklisted by Huayi Brothers, will you still be able to get roles? You'll just have to hide under a tree.

Is this a good tree?

As for smear campaigns, who can completely ignore those smear statements? I'm afraid even Ye Chong isn't entirely exempt.

I can't even imagine what you'll look like then!

Seeing that her mother remained unmoved, Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her phone to call Ye Chong.

"Hey! Sisi, what are you doing? I already made an agreement with Ye Chong."

"I don't need his help!" Yi Fei's eyebrows furrowed, her face fierce. She clearly had her reasons. "That was the core of our argument back then—a management contract, is it really that important? He's always like that, thinking the worst of everyone! I don't want him to become bad!"

"Feed..."

That's what she said, but when Ye Chong's tired voice rang in her ears again after half a year, Yi Fei fell silent.

She remained silent, and so did the person opposite her.

Liu's mother sighed, got up, and went back inside.

Let the little ones handle their own affairs from now on.

The next day.

When the crew of "Crazy Stone" was preparing to return to Kyoto, they noticed something strange: Director Ye had become even more silent.

His face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water!

Ye Chong's father had noticed the changes in him, but he didn't say much.

Who hasn't experienced some pain during their youth?

That day, Ye Chong and the Fei Ye crew returned to Kyoto together.

Upon returning to Beijing, he didn't say a word, but directly dialed a number and explained some things.

That afternoon, negative stories about Huayi began to appear online.

Some are dredging up old grievances, while others are current hot topics such as "Feng Xiaopao's departure from 'The Banquet'".

This caused Mr. Wang from Huayi to jump up and down in frustration, but after searching for a while, he still couldn't find the person.

This group of online trolls seemed to appear out of nowhere. The two brothers studied it for a whole day and pointed their finger at Wang Jinghua.

Wang Jinghua's attitude was peculiar, as if she were fearless. She was clearly aggressively fighting for shares before, so what's going on now?

Two and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye.

May 29th, 10:00 AM.

Ye Chong held a grand celebration party in Kyoto, but the majority of the Beijing Film Academy students who attended were no longer present.

Xiaoma Benteng, Shanghai Film Studio, Hairun Media, Wang Jinghua, August First Film Studio, Beijing Film Academy faculty and students, and... the uninvited guest Huayi.

"Hahaha...Mr. Ye!"

The banquet hall is located on the fifth floor of the Feiye headquarters building.

Mr. Wang walked forward, swirling a glass of champagne, a hint of mockery on his face, and his words were even more sarcastic.

"President Ye, President Ye, it's been two years, and we've finally met. It's just that this place isn't very nice; I have a feeling there are some petty scoundrels around."

As he spoke, his gaze drifted almost imperceptibly towards Wang Jinghua in the distance.

"Idiot."

"Huh?" Young Master Wang was taken aback. "What did you say?"

Ye Chong looked him up and down, scrutinizing the dog in the suit and tie, then rolled his eyes and turned his head away, repeating only two words.

"Idiot!"
