Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

Song Guanting first glanced at the phone placed to the side.

Since the message he sent yesterday to report his whereabouts, his wife has not replied to him.

Are you so busy?

She's so busy that she has time to argue with netizens online, but not time to reply to him with a simple "Husband, you've worked hard"?

Song Guanting's eyes were cold, his handsome face indifferent, yet he still reached out and took the tablet from Assistant Zhou's hand.

After quickly glancing through the list, especially upon seeing the statement posted by his young wife, Song Guanting chuckled.

When it comes to roasting people, his young wife is just as skilled.

There's nothing else to it, but those blind keyboard warriors online are saying that his young wife admires Cheng Youjun and became a director for him.

In order to get in touch with Cheng Youjun, she only filmed customized dramas for him. The reason why Cheng Youjun's name is not in the current drama is because she was angry and embarrassed after her pursuit of him failed, and she did this on purpose to attract Cheng Youjun's attention.

It's utterly ridiculous.

Would Meng Tang abandon her rich, handsome, gentle, family-oriented, and considerate husband to pursue a tasteless, taciturn, stupid, short, ugly, and poor loser?

This is truly a joke of the century.

"There's no need to remove the trending topics. Have the legal team save all the defamatory IDs. Once her drama airs smoothly, we'll settle accounts with these rumor-mongers."

Although they hadn't communicated beforehand, Song Guanting saw through Meng Tang's true intentions at a glance.

If Meng Tang wants to remove the trending topic from the search results, the most popular method nowadays is to ignore it.

Especially when it comes to online defamation and slander, it is very difficult for ordinary people to protect their rights.

As the saying goes, it only takes a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them. That's the point.

Instead of ignoring the issue, Meng Tang faced it head-on with a sharp and straightforward statement to confront the angry fans and keyboard warriors who were spreading rumors.

This had a very obvious effect: the level of discussion skyrocketed.

Not only the TV series "Witness to a Prosecution", but also the actors who were originally unknown have gained a lot of popularity.

This is practically delivered to your doorstep; you get it for free without spending a single penny, making it an enviable source of popularity.

Even if it's controversial, it's still popularity. At least it generates discussion, which means it's trending. And if it's trending, it won't fail to make a splash when it airs.

This principle applies not only to the entertainment industry but also to the business world.

"Yes, Mr. Song."

After giving his instructions, Song Guanting, still unwilling to give up, glanced at his phone again and began rubbing the prayer beads on his right wrist even faster, with a hint of frustration in his expression.

Just as Assistant Zhou was about to leave, Song Guanting suddenly called him back.

"Why do you think someone might be very enthusiastic towards another person the night before, even getting up early to iron their clothes for them, but then not reply to their messages?"

Assistant Zhou: "..."

Mr. Song, you don't need to be so sneaky and use such deceptive questioning. You might as well just state your ID card and say that you are talking about yourself and your wife.

"Perhaps it's because that person felt that the other person was usually too busy. She had just spent time with him the night before, and then she was busy with work again the next day. Girls need companionship."

"Although I'm single, I've noticed that the young women in the CEO's office are all very affectionate when they're dating their boyfriends. She probably thinks you're too aloof, so she wants to make you feel the same way by being aloof."

Song Guanting stroked the Buddhist prayer beads, pondered for a moment, and suddenly replied, "Did I say that person was me?"

Assistant Zhou: "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, it was a slip of the tongue. I meant the man in your story."

"I'll compress my trip in Shanghai, finish it within two days, and book my return flight."

Tsk, President Song is really stubborn as a mule.

Assistant Zhou, who was already used to it, said he understood.

"Also, pack up all the latest luxury brand bags and send them to my hotel."

Although the incredibly wealthy CEO Song never knew how to sweet-talk people before getting married, he has figured out a way to do so since having a young wife.

His wife loved shopping, so he bought all the new handbags as an apology.

Although he didn't know what the other person was arguing with, he decided to appease them first.

President Song remains as unpretentious and extravagant as ever.

Assistant Zhou: "Yes, Mr. Song, I'll arrange it right away."

After the opening ceremony, the crew immediately began filming.

Web series have short filming times; most are filmed in one take at a film and television base and are completed in one go.

Therefore, in post-production, techniques such as cutout are often used to fill in outdoor scenes.

However, Meng Tang always insists on shooting on location, and will go to the appropriate location to film whichever part is being filmed.

Meng Tang made a plan: the parts that would be filmed at the film and television base would be filmed first, and the outdoor scenes would be filmed one by one, depending on the distance of the location.

The budget for web series is limited, unlike those big IPs. So, they try to save money on costumes, props, and sets, which is why most web series look cheap.

But Meng Tang was different. Before filming began, she spent a considerable amount of money to hire a well-known costume designer because she was dissatisfied with the cheapness of the costumes.

For each actor, makeup and costumes were designed according to their roles.

Props and sets must be reproduced exactly as described in the script.

Because Meng Tang has high standards, the filming progress is not as fast as that of typical web dramas.

Moreover, the investment in costumes accounted for a very high percentage, which aroused dissatisfaction among the production manager and others.

"Director Meng, there's something I have to say. With your high standards, the investment we've received so far is almost gone."

"The remaining investment won't arrive until the series is almost finished filming. During this period, the venue rental fees, the food, accommodation, and transportation for the entire crew are all considerable expenses. Where will the money come from?"

Meng Tang remained calm and, after reviewing the production budget, said, "Costumes, props, and sets are all essential and cannot be skimped on, otherwise the final product will look cheap. There's no room for negotiation on that."

"As for daily expenses, just make sure the three meals are nutritious. Besides, all the actors in our crew are newcomers, so the standards are the same for everyone, which saves us money, right?"

Meng Tang has a wealth of experience in how to produce high-quality dramas while saving money.

In the real world, when she first started acting, she went through a lot of trouble to secure investment, but because she had very high requirements for filming...

After spending on clothing and other items, not much money is left for regular expenses.

So Meng Tang has gained experience in being frugal.

After cutting corners here and there, the production manager could only leave angrily with the ledger.

The funding issue had just been resolved when the script supervisor rushed over.

"Director Meng, something terrible has happened! Teacher Li and Teacher Du are fighting in the dressing room!"
