The next day, Jiang Dao completed the remaining shots from yesterday, and shooting of the next big section officially began.
The next two weeks will be spent shooting one battlefield scene, which is also the most difficult battle to shoot in the entire film. Because Little Gray Wolf delivered news to the city guard, this battle was extremely difficult for the resistance. Thankfully, Xia Tian’s on-the-spot actions saved most of the resistance’s forces, preventing them from being wiped out.
Most of this scene is a continuous plot that most crews are afraid of.
On the first day, after more than ten hours of filming, the sentence “In the middle of the night, the front line of the resistance army was raided by the city guards” failed to satisfy Director Mu. Not surprisingly, it took at least three days to polish this sentence alone.
At this time, Xiang Yunru shared a piece of news that had not yet erupted, letting Jiang Dao and Chu Yinlong prepare ahead of time first.
“What’s the situation?” Chu Yinlong asked with a frown, avoiding the crew.
On the phone, Xiang Yunru’s tone was a little helpless: “The little model Zhang Wenyu likes will reveal the shady story of Xingyao Media’s model agency tomorrow, and news of Qin Xiao pimping people will also be revealed. Your side should keep an eye on Xiao Dao’s situation, lest they jump over the wall and bite randomly.”
Chu Yinlong suddenly turned serious. “I see. However, Tianqin has not fallen yet, so Qin Xiao still has capital behind him. I’m afraid such a ‘little thing’ won’t be enough to bring him down.”
Xiang Yunru naturally understood. “That’s why I’m asking you to pay attention. If Qin Jiangshan tries to protect Qin Xiao and his capital, things may become chaotic. As you know, muddy water is too easy to stir up in the entertainment industry.”
Chu Yinlong replied solemnly: “Okay, I will tell Lu Zhengrong.”
But no one expected that just after Chu Yinlong notified Lu Zhengrong of the matter, before hanging up the phone, Lu Zhengrong received even more shocking news.
“Wait! Don’t hang up!” Lu Zhengrong’s voice was full of shock. “Qin Jiangshan and Jiang Ruo actually obtained a marriage certificate?!”
Chu Yinlong was stunned, and then asked in surprise, “What?”
Lu Zhengrong eagerly explained: “The PR side just passed me the news. An executive of Tianqin Capital who recently changed jobs shared that Qin Jiangshan used a fake divorce certificate to deceive Jiang Ruo. They then registered for marriage officially in a small place, which really succeeded… this is complicated.”
Chu Yinlong also immediately understood that things became more complicated.
He originally thought he still had plenty of time to prepare when Liu Yueran breaks the news that Qin Xiao is pimping, and never expected Qin Jiangshan and Jiang Ruo’s matter to be like this, or to explode at such a time.
However, even if the revelations are true and Qin Jiangshan did commit bigamy back then, it has been 20 years since then and the time window for prosecution has long since passed. Even if it is still illegal, it is a scandal at best, and it cannot hurt Tianqin Capital.
On the contrary, as soon as this incident came out, Jiang Dao was pushed to the forefront again.
“Don’t panic, this is actually a good thing for Jiang Dao.” Lu Zhengrong responded quickly. “He has been questioned before because of his illegitimate status, but now, all mistakes can be blamed on Qin Jiangshan. Jiang Ruo deserves sympathy, and Jiang Dao as well.”
“I know.” Chu Yinlong’s voice was cold. “The PR team has worked hard. I will discuss this with Xiao Dao immediately. Be ready, if there is any news or changes, I will contact you.”
Hanging up the phone , Chu Yinlong found Director Mu and explained the situation.
Director Mu naturally attached great importance to any public opinion turmoil involving the main actors of his movie. He immediately discussed with the coordinator and temporarily pushed back the scenes of Chu Yinlong and Jiang Dao for a day or two.
“What happened?” Jiang Dao is very keen, and knew something was wrong. “Qin Xiao did something wrong again?”
“It wasn’t him, but it has something to do with the Qin family.” Chu Yinlong suppressed his anger and shared the ins and outs of the matter with Jiang Dao. He finally added, “You should be prepared to share your experiences and whether you have had any contact with the Qin family. It’s best to let the PR team know as soon as possible.”
Jiang Dao laughed and didn’t care: ” Okay.”
After he finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to his assistant Xiao Yang. “Brother Yang, go back to Yan City. In the back closet of the apartment, the second drawer in the middle level, there is a gray folder. Please hand it over to the company’s public relations department.”
Assistant: “…Ah?”
“Just do it.” Jiang Dao didn’t explain more.
That folder contains all the things he uncovered relating to the original owner’s life experience.
It includes some of Jiang Ruo’s relics, his previous investigation of the original owner’s cash flow and bank records, and any information obtained when he returned to the original owner’s hometown after the end of the filming of “Operation Red Owl”.
Although he did not inherit the original owner’s memories, based on this information, he inferred that the original owner did not have much contact with the Qin family.
Back at the hotel, assistant Xiao Yang immediately packed up and prepared to return to Yan City.
Seeing Chu Yinlong’s troubled face after his phone call, Jiang Dao smiled and took his finger and shook it. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Chu Yinlong turned around and hugged him. “I won’t let anything happen to you.
After a brief silence, Jiang Dao coughed lightly, and said: “Actually, if you’re afraid of this matter becoming a big deal, we can also divert attention… I didn’t use it back then, but if it’s not enough now, we can just reveal it now.”
“Back then?” Chu Yinlong frowned when he heard this.
Jiang Dao nodded and admitted it easily. “Last time I went to his villa, I found something interesting. But after seeing how easily he was scared and caught, I didn’t need to use all my tricks. I was worried he’d be difficult to deal with afterwards… So, I kept a powerful move back.”
Chu Yinlong was a little frightened by Jiang Dao’s words. “What did you do?”
Jiang Dao waved to him: “Come here, I’ll tell you.”
Chu Yinlong leaned forward – then was attacked by Jiang Dao and kissed on the cheek.
Chu Yinlong: …
“Haha!” Jiang Dao laughed.
“You…” Chu Yinlong was helpless, but he couldn’t help smiling.
Seeing that he finally no longer had a dark face, Jiang Dao said solemnly: “There is a safe in the study of his villa. I opened it and found some … drugs and tools that may not be very legal.”
Chu Yinlong’s expression changed. “Why didn’t you tell Officer Xing at that time?”
“I told you, it’s just in case.” Jiang Dao hummed. “How do I know how much Tianqin Capital has? In case he has a way out and retaliates later, how can I stop him? Of course, I have to keep this kind of big move behind, so that if he messes with me again, I will be able to fight back.”
Chu Yinlong disagreed: “Wrong! With the police intervention last time and GeniUs having drug problems recently, how can Qin Xiao still keep things in his hands? They’ve definitely been dealt with by now!”
Jiang Dao raised his hand and pinched Chu Yinlong’s chin lightly. “Don’t worry, even if he has dealt with the ones in the safe, there’s still some hidden in his house. He probably can’t guess where it’s hidden.”
There was a moment of silence.
Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao with a strange expression. “…You moved and hid a part of it?”
Jiang Dao snapped his fingers. “Smart!”
Chu Yinlong:…
What kind of strange boy did he find?
Is this kind of thing even possible? !
“I walked around his house all night, how could I have done nothing?” Jiang Dao laughed. “Come here, I’ll tell you where I hid it.”
After listening to Jiang Dao’s whispers, Chu Yinlong closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then he picked up the phone again, and said solemnly to Jiang Dao: “Don’t tell anyone about this, I’ll handle it.”
…
The revelation of Qin Jiangshan’s bigamy in his early years continued fermenting throughout the day.
Because it involves Jiang Ruo, a short-lived actress, her son Jiang Dao is inevitably involved. However, this time was different from the last time – there was much less abuse, and more sympathy for Jiang Ruo and Jiang Dao.
Of course, there are still some people who insist that the reason why Jiang Dao can enter the entertainment industry and get excellent resources to cooperate with Chu Yinlong must be due to the Qin family’s backing.
This kind of speculation exploded the next morning after Liu Yueran exposed that Qin Xiao and the model company under Xingyao Media were in cahoots and pimping young models.
“Qin Xiao is not a good thing! How can Jiang Dao be better? He must have used improper means to climb up to Chu Yinlong!
“Reply: Get out of here marketing accounts! Father Long will never do such a thing!”
“Reply: You might know someone and their face, but it’s not the same as knowing their heart.”
“I heard that someone arranged for Jiang Dao to enter Xingyao Media. Was it Qin Xiao? This family is really disgusting [spit] “
Reply: Yes, I have never heard of Jiang Dao before then. Suddenly appearing like that, he must have entered with capital!”
“Reply: Based on this logic, why did Jiang Dao leave Xingyao Media then?”
Why did Jiang Dao leave Xingyao Media?
Netizens didn’t have to wait long for this question to be answered.
His former agent, Zhu Yao, who had stood up for Jiang Dao before, once again published a long article, blaming himself for something that happened a long time ago – a senior executive of Xingyao Media once tried to arrange for Jiang Dao to ‘meet’ Li Cheng. Fortunately, Jiang Dao was rescued by Lu Zhengrong of Longqi Entertainment.
Later, when Jiang Dao knew the ins and outs of the whole thing, he jumped to Chu Yinlong Studio, and for this, he carried a debt of up to 2 million in liquidated damages.
The trend of public opinion suddenly reversed, and they began to criticize Xingyao Media.
Xingyao Media’s senior management could only grit their teeth and issue a suspension and investigation into the matter. However, the incident remained on the hot search for a whole day before it finally subsided.
The scum family finally falls!
