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

Meng Yurou thought Chu Weiwei was smart.

Unexpectedly, when this opportunity was presented to her, she not only failed to take advantage of it, but was also outmaneuvered by Meng Tang and her group.

But Meng Yurou still needed to use Chu Weiwei to deal with Meng Tang, especially since she had already invested all her money and now she had lost 10% of Qiannuo's shares.

They are not as wealthy as before, so naturally they can't let the three million go down the drain.

"It seems that the only way is to get Fu Jishu on your side. Otherwise, you won't be able to film normally, let alone this time. I do know that the Fu family is going to hold a birthday banquet for Madam Fu soon."

"Didn't you say that Fu Jishu is already married, and that Li Su is openly being Fu Jishu's mistress? Although no one has ever seen this so-called Mrs. Fu, I suppose this mysterious Mrs. Fu will definitely attend Old Madam Fu's birthday banquet, right?"

Chu Weiwei was not stupid; she immediately understood what the other party meant.

At the birthday banquet, in front of Mrs. Fu, he revealed that Li Su was Fu Jishu's lover.

At that time, Chu Weiwei and the others won't even need to do anything; Mrs. Fu will be able to tear Li Su apart with her bare hands.

Let alone filming in Changlu, Li Su would probably be completely blacklisted online and never be found again.

Without Fu Jishu's support and with the female lead sacrificed, can Meng Tang's drama continue to be filmed?

Naturally, it will also be canceled. Killing two birds with one stone, then Chu Weiwei can rely on this merit, and she won't have to worry about not having a film studio to film for her.

But then she became worried again, "Madam Fu's birthday banquet is probably only for very important people. I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to get in."

Meng Yurou smiled and said, "That's easy. I can get you an invitation, but the Meng family and the Song family are now related by marriage, so I can't go. Director Chu, this is your last chance, so you have to seize it and not disappoint me again."

"Otherwise, I can withdraw my investment at any time and demand that you compensate me for my losses. Of course, I still admire Director Chu's talent, and I hope that we can have more cooperation in the future."

She first slapped him, then gave him a sweet treat; Meng Yurou always liked to use this good cop/bad cop tactic.

Chu Weiwei was well aware that Meng Yurou's investment in her production team was not because she valued Chu Weiwei's talent, nor because she liked the production, but rather to deal with Meng Tang.

After all, at the family reunion banquet held by the Meng family, Meng Yurou not only lost face but also lost 10% of Qiannuo Media's shares.

It can be said that Meng Yurou and Meng Tang are now mortal enemies, and she naturally cannot bear to see Meng Tang doing well.

Chu Weiwei needed money to film, and both she and Meng Yurou were aware of each other's needs, so it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Chu Weiwei gratefully grasped Meng Yurou's hand, "Miss Meng is the most resourceful. Don't worry, I will definitely seize this hard-won opportunity."

"But Madam Fu's birthday banquet is still half a month away, and the film crew can't wait that long. What do you think, Miss Meng?"

Meng Yurou quickly declined, saying, "I can't help you with this. Why don't you take the crew and film in front of a green screen for half a month? We can reshoot later after we've dealt with Li Su's matter."

"Besides, if Meng Tang's drama is canceled, your drama can be filmed slowly. As the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race. I believe that with Director Chu's ability and the fame of the male and female leads, it's only a matter of time before it becomes a hit."

Meng Yurou's words make a lot of sense. The reason why Chu Weiwei is in such a hurry to film is not only because they have little money and wasting a day is burning money, but also because she wants to compete with Meng Tang and the others for the time to go online.

Chu Weiwei's filming was originally scheduled to start two days later than Meng Tang's, but she was trying to catch up with the schedule so that her drama could be released on the same day as Meng Tang's and compete with it.

She is quite confident in her abilities; while abroad, one of her graduation projects won numerous awards.

Meng Tang was just a novice who came to the entertainment industry to act because she wanted to pursue men. What kind of skills could she possibly have?

If it weren't for Cheng Youjun's acting skills saving the day, her previous dramas would probably have flopped completely.

What if it were revealed that Li Su was Fu Jishu's lover?

If Li Su is blacklisted, Meng Tang will also be finished. Will "The Wrongful Conspiracy" still be able to be filmed then?

Since Meng Tang no longer has the resources to compete with her, she naturally doesn't need to rush to launch her game.

Chu Weiwei said tactfully, "Ms. Meng, if we film everything in front of a green screen, the initial setup costs will likely increase. And since our funds are limited, could you perhaps... add a little more investment?"

"Three million is the most I can afford to invest. Director Chu, you and the crew will have to endure a little hardship now, once you report Li Su to that Mrs. Fu."

"With this favor in hand, will you need to spend a single penny more to film at any of Ruifeng Group's scenic spots? Who knows, Mrs. Fu might even invest more in you if she's in a good mood?"

Meng Yurou's skill at making empty promises is top-notch.

Although Chu Weiwei knew that Meng Yurou was just making empty promises, the money was in Meng Yurou's hands, and she refused to invest more, so Chu Weiwei could only force a smile.

“Miss Meng is right. Thank you for your advice. I’ll leave the invitations to you.”

The only problem was that they couldn't go to tourist attractions to film, so they had to shoot in a small green screen, which made the whole crew quite resentful.

After all, green screen films require special effects in post-production, and those realistic special effects are very expensive. How could a small web series like theirs afford to do that?

Moreover, they're using green screens here, while Meng Tang's crew gets free and priority access to filming at Changlu Film City. It's like there's no harm without comparison.

After filming against a green screen for several days, Du Xinyue approached Chu Weiwei.

"Director Chu, I signed a contract with you to film this movie because I trusted your professional abilities. You said you would solve the location problem, but we've been filming in front of a green screen all day. Will the footage even be able to be broadcast?"

Du Xinyue also hopes to use this drama to boost her popularity, as she is collaborating with Cheng Youjun for the fifth time.

If they keep filming like this, let alone becoming a minor hit, they should be thankful if they don't get a lot of hate after it airs.

Chu Weiwei could only reassure her by quoting what Meng Yurou had told her, “Miss Du, don’t worry. As long as you attend Madam Fu’s birthday banquet and expose Li Su as Fu Jishu’s lover in front of Mrs. Fu, you will be able to get things done.”

"Li Su will definitely be blacklisted, and without her backer and the female lead, how can Meng Tang's drama continue to be filmed? Then our crew will finally be able to hold our heads high."

"Let alone Changlu Film City, any scenic spot is fine, so how about we just hold off for a few days?"

Upon hearing this, Du Xinyue immediately felt that this was an opportunity for her.

"Then I'll just believe what you say, Director Chu. Why don't you bring me to Madam Fu's birthday banquet? Your words alone lack credibility. With me, the person involved, added to the mix, it will definitely ruin Li Su's reputation and make her a rat that everyone wants to beat."
