The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 456 Fighting against the heavens is an endless source of joy!
Lonely Corner Bar.

"That's how it is. Although I'm the producer, the production team is facing financial pressure, so I can't change the plot at will."

Lisa Rong took a sip of her drink and said slowly.

If it weren't for Nuolan and Wensheng's influence, she might not have been so tactful; she might have directly said that the investors wanted to force someone into their service, and that someone like Tang Youyou, with no background, would have to be eliminated.

After hearing Lisa Rong's words, Guan Gu Shenqi felt as if the sky had fallen.

Nuolan turned to look at Wensheng and sighed inwardly. She was the one who recommended Youyou, but now this had happened.

However, she has another matter she's more concerned about now...

"I shouldn't have given away any spoilers, but I think she might feel better if her best friend told her the bad news."

Lisa Rong raised her glass again and said to Guan Gu Shenqi, "It's up to you now."

"..."

Guan Gu's mind was in a mess right now, and he didn't know what to say at all.

Wen Sheng glanced at Guan Gu Shenqi, then said to Lisa Rong with feigned regret, "We will pass on the message to Youyou."

"That's good." Lisa Rong nodded, checked the time, put down her wine glass, and said, "It's getting late, I have to go back."

"I'll see you out," Nuolan said, getting up as well.

Lisa Rong raised an eyebrow, looked the couple over, and smiled, "Nolan, you live in this apartment complex too?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Nuolan took Wensheng's hand and smiled and nodded at Lisa Rong.

Lisa Rong felt increasingly that the couple's current situation was somewhat unpredictable, but she didn't ask any more questions and got up to leave.

But just then, Nuolan accidentally kicked the coffee table in front of her, and the wine glass on it tipped over, spilling the remaining wine onto her trouser leg.

"ah!"

Nuolan quickly took out tissues to wipe it, and Wensheng helped her wipe her pants legs when he saw this.

"Is your foot okay?"

"It's nothing, I just kicked it by accident, it wasn't hard." Nuolan shook her head, then removed Wensheng's hand and smiled at Lisa Rong, who was also looking at her with concern. "I'm fine, just a little wet inside my shoes. It won't take up your time. Um, let Wensheng take you there for me."

Seeing this, Lisa Rong laughed and said, "No need to trouble yourself. I'll just go to the door and take a taxi. I'll have Wen Sheng take you back to change your pants and shoes. Anyway, we see each other at the radio station every day."

"How can that be? I'm the one who invited you here."

After saying that, Nuolan cupped Wensheng's face and kissed him, saying sweetly, "Honey, can you help me see Lisa off?"

Wen Sheng smacked his lips, and after tasting the sweetness on his lips, he smiled and said, "I didn't say I wasn't going."

So he stood up and looked at Lisa Rong: "Lisa, let me see you off."

Lisa was speechless as she watched the couple flaunt their affection in front of her.

"Okay, let's go."

Then Wen Sheng followed Lisa Rong away. Before leaving, he glanced at Guan Gu Shenqi on the other sofa, who seemed to still be immersed in the tragic news that Tang Youyou's filming was about to end.

After the two left the bar, Nuolan, who had just been bending over to wipe her trousers with a tissue, sat up straight again and looked at Guan Gu Shenqi, who looked uncomfortable.

"Guan Gu, I'm sorry, I still couldn't help you."

Guan Gu Shenqi, who was pondering how to bring up the topic with Tang Youyou, snapped out of his reverie, forced a smile, and shook his head: "It's alright, you've already gone to a lot of trouble for me to meet the producer, it's just..."

He paused for a moment, his forced smile crumbled, and he said with a hint of disappointment, "I never expected that such terrible news would be waiting for Youyou."

"What about Youyou..." Nuolan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "How should we say it?"

"I don't know either." Guan Gu Shenqi's eyes were full of confusion. "I didn't even tell her that she was going to die in the next episode, so I don't know how to bring up something that's even worse than death."

"I thought we could salvage the situation, but it's gotten even worse." Guan Gu Shenqi lowered his head and grabbed his hair. "Youyou will be devastated if she finds out!"

"Ugh!"

Nolan also sighed.

But what's done is done, and no one can undo it. Although Nuolan felt sorry for Tang Youyou's fate, she had more important things to do.

"Guan Gu, you seem to care a lot about Youyou, do you like her?"

"..."

Nuolan's sudden words startled Guan Gu, who was scratching his head, and he looked up to meet her eyes before quickly and awkwardly saying, "No, I was just... concerned about a friend!"

“Friends?” Nuolan smiled and shook her head. “Guan Gu, I’ve been through this. I’ve been through dating, marriage, and divorce with Wen Sheng. Besides, I’m a relationship talk show host. The level of concern you showed for Tang Youyou just now has gone beyond the boundaries of friendship.”

"I……"

"And that's what Wen Sheng told me too."

Seeing that Guan Gu Shenqi was still being stubborn, Nuolan immediately tricked him.

Guan Gu Shenqi was indeed fooled, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, followed by embarrassment.

"How could Wen-san even talk about something like this..."

"Otherwise, why would I have helped invite Lisa over, hoping it would be of some help to Tang Youyou? It's a pity..."

At this point, Nuolan paused slightly. Youyou's fate had already been decided, so she continued, "After all, Tang Youyou kissed Wen Sheng before and is now my rival in love! If things aren't made clear, why would I think of helping my rival?"

"You've misunderstood. Youyou didn't mean to be your rival in love!"

"I know it's a misunderstanding, but I still don't know—what the truth is?"

Nuolan squinted at the honest Guan Gu, who had a half-smile on his face.

……

The street outside the bar.

"Wensheng, seeing how good your relationship with Nuolan is, I really don't know how you two could get divorced?"

As soon as she came out, Lisa Rong couldn't help but ask.

Wen Sheng sighed: "Every family has its own problems. Marriage cannot be maintained solely by having good feelings for each other."

Upon hearing this, Lisa Rong, a single woman in her late twenties, glanced at Wen Sheng, seemingly understanding but not quite.

But she quickly asked again, "Have you considered remarrying?"

Lisa Rong paused, then smiled and sighed, "When I attended your wedding with Nuolan, I really thought you two were a perfect couple. Now that I see you're divorced, I feel so sorry for you."

"Really? Haha, if I have the chance to attend your wedding in the future, I'll have to see what the new golden boy is like." Wen Sheng smiled. "As for my remarriage with Lanlan, I can only say that it's under consideration right now."

"I see. Then I won't say any more. I just hope you and Nuolan can be together happily," Lisa Rong said with a smile. "But I don't know how long I'll have to wait to get married, and I don't know where my golden boy is either."

"We'll get there eventually."

"Thank you for your kind words." Lisa Rong smiled faintly. Seeing a taxi approaching in the distance, she said, "The car is coming. I won't say any more. See you next time." She was about to wave for a taxi when Wen Sheng spoke up again, "Wait, Lisa, I have something to do."

"what?"

Lisa Rong lowered her hand and asked in confusion.

"I'd like to ask about the movie that Youyou filmed."

"..."

Hearing this, Lisa Rong raised her eyebrows and stared at the man in front of her thoughtfully, saying, "I just made it very clear about Youyou's ending in this play, and I really can't help her change the plot."

“I know, what I want to ask isn’t about Youyou,” Wen Sheng said with a smile.

"Hmm? What's that?"

"I just heard you say that the investors for the TV series 'Reversal Heroes' have cut back on subsequent funding, thinking it would be better to use the money to build two toilets. But I happen to be quite interested in the film and television industry recently. I wonder if you would be interested in bringing in new investors or producers for this series?"

After Wen Sheng said those words with a smile, Lisa Rong froze on the spot.

Although she had just put her hand down, the taxi not far away still wisely stopped next to her.

"Drip! Drip!"

Lisa Rong waved to indicate that she wouldn't take the taxi, and only after it left did she look at Wen Sheng and ask, "You mean you want to invest in this drama?"

“That depends on whether your agreement with the original investors clearly stipulates the rules for handling capital reduction or withdrawal. Otherwise, I can only be a sponsor.” Wen Sheng smiled and added, “But I think your TV station wouldn’t have taken on all the risks from the very beginning for a show that’s being filmed and broadcast simultaneously, would it?”

"..."

“Of course not.” Lisa Rong shook her head, but still seemed somewhat incredulous. “Are you sure you really want to invest?”

"Of course, don't tell me you, as the producer, don't have that authority?"

“How could that be? I’m a professional!” Lisa Rong, a professional producer at Shanghai Radio and Television Station, immediately denied.

But soon, she still asked with some skepticism, "I just don't understand why you suddenly want to invest in this show? And do you... have that much money?"

"You don't need to worry about the money. I don't think your show is a big production with a million dollars per episode. After all, even the female lead is relatively unknown. I can still afford the money for the subsequent episodes," Wen Sheng said with a smile. "As for the reason for investing in this show, as I just said, I'm not interested in real estate projects like building toilets, but I'm quite interested in making movies."

After a brief pause, he added, "Moreover, the show's current viewership numbers are quite good. Since the original investors don't approve, but I think it's great, it should generate considerable revenue."

Hearing Wen Sheng's words, Lisa Rong's emotions were immediately agitated, and she stared at the man in front of her for a long time.

She knew that Nuolan's husband was not short of money, but she did not expect that he would be even richer after the divorce. Did all the property go to Wensheng after the divorce?

That doesn't make sense either. Nuolan's spending level hasn't decreased at all during this period; in fact, it has increased quite a bit. It doesn't seem like she hasn't received any property.

Lisa Rong was a little dazed at this moment, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should agree or not.

Seeing this, Wen Sheng asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Lisa? Can't we bring in new investors for this show?"

"No, yes, of course you can!"

Lisa Rong, regaining her senses, immediately spoke.

But then a conflicted look flashed across her face, and she hesitated, saying, "Wensheng, does Nuolan know about this? And..."

Lisa Rong glanced at the bar's entrance and suddenly lowered her voice, "Are you planning to spend so much money investing in this drama because of that Tang Youyou?"

"..."

Seeing Lisa Rong's expression, as if she had figured out the truth, Wen Sheng was speechless.

At this moment, Lisa Rong said with certainty, "No wonder you and Nuolan divorced and never got back together."

"Stop! You're overthinking it."

Wen Sheng quickly stopped her wild guesses: "I'm investing in my own projects, which have nothing to do with Tang Youyou. I won't interfere with the plot where she gets killed off in the next episode. It's just between the two of us, Nuolan and I."

“I haven’t discussed this with Nuolan yet. After all, it’s just a preliminary agreement, and I’m using my own money, so Nuolan can’t influence my investment decisions.” Wen Sheng chuckled as he said this, “So, do you still need me to push this preliminary agreement forward?”

Lisa Rong was silent for a moment, but gave her answer less than two seconds later.

"Of course, I'll let the group know, and we'll find some time to talk about it later."

……

Wen Sheng's desire to invest in film production was not entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision. In fact, only his plan to invest in the drama "Reversal Hero" was a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had already considered the others beforehand.

Part of the reason was that music studio. He originally only intended to do it as a hobby, but because he felt that his singing wasn't quite right, and since he never wanted to be a star, he switched to copyright work.

He bought quite a lot of songs to expand his music library, especially since song prices are at an all-time low these days.

However, having invested a significant amount of money during this period, it's estimated that the studio model will soon need to be replaced by a company for professional capital operations.

There's no way around it; even if he didn't think that way at first, old capitalists like him always instinctively make arrangements that way.

For example, when he was agonizing over his relationship with both Nuolan and Yumo, he did write some songs. But basically, apart from the very beginning when he could listen to and feel them from a "normal" perspective, he subconsciously started thinking about who would be more suitable to sing these songs, how to arrange commercial licensing, cover song licensing, and royalties...

Of course, the reason he was thinking about film and television is because sometimes the music he composed is the OST for movies or TV shows that have not yet been released.

These songs often complement the drama; if released alone, they simply don't have the same effect.

So naturally, he started to have some interest in the film and television industry.

However, these are only part of the reason. Another, more important reason is that he wanted to test certain conjectures.

In his previous lives, he discovered that the world he entered did not contain the movie or television series he was currently experiencing.

Hmm... it's a bit like a nested doll. To put it simply, he's currently in the world of "iPartment," but this world doesn't have the show "iPartment."

Since this paradoxical nesting situation doesn't exist, he wondered what would happen to the world if he were to create this bug himself.

Another thing he wants to experiment with is that the worlds he has entered so far are all movies and TV shows he has watched. If he were to create his own original movie or TV show now, would he be able to enter the world he created in the future?

For example, imagine you're making a wish-fulfillment drama where you have all the money and power you want, and are surrounded by beautiful women... You still have to leave each of them with a weakness, just in case you transmigrate into a supporting character... And you'll need specific methods to win over those beauties...

Sigh, who wouldn't want to experience a hacked version of life?
In short, although these were just some initial thoughts that popped into Wen Sheng's mind, they were enough for him to give them a try.

The joy of fighting against nature is boundless!

You can't just focus on fighting with women in bed anymore.

……

Night, Love Apartment.

Qin Yumo pushed open the door to suite 3601.

"What should we have for dinner...?"

Seeing the uninvited guest sitting on the sofa, the words she was about to say stuck in her throat.

"Yu Mo is back!" Nuolan turned around and called out with a smile.
