Chapter 63 Past Events

"Be prepared, the next filming process will be difficult."

After a long while, Chu Qingcheng spoke softly.

Li Qing didn't say anything, but the movement of turning his head slightly showed it.

He was listening.

Chu Qingcheng did not keep the audience in suspense and immediately went on to talk about Xu Longbo's situation.

"Xu Longbo, their family is somewhat related to ours. We can't say we are old friends, but we are still very close."

"Our grandfathers' generation worked together, and my father's generation was even closer. Therefore, under the influence of our parents, we younger generations also knew each other when we were young."

Chu Qingcheng first explained the connection with Xu Longbo, laying the groundwork for what happened later, so as to make it easier for Li Qing to understand.

"But I don't like to have too much contact with them. My eldest sister was trained as the heir of the family since she was young. She got to know all kinds of things early and had no time to herself. My second brother is not at home all year round and has no interest in connecting with other families. He only plays in his own small circle."

"They all wanted to be closer to my family, so I caught their eye when I had more time and a suitable status."

Li Qing likes a sentence from a forum user very much.

"what?"

Chu Qingcheng was not affected and continued to explain the situation to Li Qing.

"Among them, the head of the Xu family, Xu Longbo's father, took advantage of his close relationship and proposed many times to arrange child marriages. He even brought up his grandfather's generation, saying that it is better to cultivate feelings from a young age. I hate this person the most."

"But fortunately, neither my father nor my eldest sister accepted this proposal."

"Even after my eldest sister participated in some of the company's affairs and gained some power, she still forcefully refused and directly rejected the Xu family's face."

"During that period, the relationship between our two companies reached a freezing point, cooperation plans were cancelled, and we even attacked each other."

"Of course, the Xu family couldn't beat my family. In the end, they couldn't hold on any longer and gave in."

"After that, they stopped suggesting child marriages, and the relationship warmed up again."

Li Qing listened quietly and thought about some of the things.

After confirming that Chu Qingcheng had stopped temporarily, Li Qing asked the question.

"If that's the case, how did you end up working with that sissy on a movie?"

"Sissy... a very appropriate adjective." Chu Qingcheng was stunned at first, then chuckled.

"Xu Longbo's position in the Xu family is similar to mine. We are not the heir to the family, and we don't know how to make money. At most, we are a little better than an unrecognized illegitimate child."

"Although I have a little more pocket money than him because of my eldest sister's love and my second brother's absence from home all year round, uh... my second brother's share of the shares and dividends are all at my disposal."

"The money the Xu family gave Xu Longbo can only allow him to maintain a normal quality of life, but compared to ordinary people, it is enough for him to live a carefree life."

"As long as he doesn't go crazy and start a business, he will definitely live a good life, not to mention that the Xu family will help him from time to time."

"but……"

Chu Qingcheng's tone was a little helpless, perhaps because she was really speechless about Xu Longbo. "After Xu Longbo came to study abroad, he became crazy about the so-called art. Not only did he lose all his money, he also asked the Xu family for investment, but he still lost money."

"At that time, my family also wanted to enter the entertainment industry, so Xu Longbo came to us on his own initiative. Then my father saw that he was a junior and I was also in charge of some things at the time."

"Then I agreed to his proposal, but it was not a cooperation under the name of the company. It was just my personal relationship with him. At that time, Xu Longbo's reputation was not as good as it is now... uh, bad, right?"

"After all, I have studied abroad and have some experience working with great directors. My father might be optimistic about me, so he wanted me to try it out. The script investment Xu Longbo gave me was not a big blockbuster, but an artistic film."

"It seems to be more suitable for small-scale risk-taking, so it's a good idea to test the waters."

"In the end, who would have thought that he was such a complete idiot, totally useless."

"My reputation has even been linked to being a fat sheep who doesn't know what's good."

Li Qing laughed awkwardly a few times and didn't respond.

If Chu Qingcheng wasn't a big fat sheep, he wouldn't have been able to get this investment.

“What about the movies he made?”

"Not only does it lack a fresh and refined artistic sense, it even reveals a self-righteous and distorted sense from the inside out. In the plot, the hero and heroine talk empty words about the nobility of love, the indomitable sincerity, the courage to fight against power and injustice, and the strong pursuit of freedom."

"But everything they enjoy is based on their huge wealth. The scene that shows the heroine's determination is that she leaves her poor original family, lives in the hero's super luxurious villa, and then goes back in a luxury car to slap him in the face."

"Then there were the real and fake daughters and so on. Once the recognition was made, the poor parents were instantly offline and never appeared again. There was no mention of their fate at all."

"Then there is the old-fashioned real daughter. Although she lives in poverty, she is kind and does not fight or compete. Even though she has never talked about money since she was a child, she can still afford expensive cosmetics. She takes better care of her body than the fake daughter, and she even has nobility in her bones."

"On the contrary, the so-called fake daughter can only be a wild girl who is rude and unreasonable, likes to bully others, and is not liked by everyone. She is also played by a professional villain, and her final fate is often to be homeless on the street, or to be sent to a poor man as a wife by the host and hostess who cleverly sees through her trick... What does he mean?"

"You're still advocating the theory of bloodline in this day and age. It's been a long time since the fall of the Qing Dynasty!"

It can be seen that Chu Qingcheng has been dissatisfied with Xu Longbo for a long time.

Now that Li Qing was there to listen to her complaints, she just dumped them out.

However, Li Qing was not disgusted, rather.

Chu Qingcheng was able to put aside her previous appearance and complain about things she didn't like, which invisibly narrowed the distance between them.

"This is the kind of guy I can't stand the most. The Xu family is not an old family anymore. They only became rich in recent years."

"I didn't learn anything else in the UK. What a mess of things did I learn back then?"

"Although my Chu family has some business now, our ancestors until my great-grandfather were all authentic farmers. There is nothing wrong with that."

"The current family business was built by my grandfather and my father. It took a lot of effort and hard work."

"Even when my grandfather was still alive, we were taken to our hometown in the countryside to grow Chinese cabbage!"

Li Qing listened in silence, while Chu Qingcheng smiled as she spoke.

Very nice, very beautiful...
