Luo Yuqing answered Luo Ziling’s question definitively, and neither said anything further.
Luo Ziling gazed at Luo Yuqing calmly, while Luo Yuqing wore a defiant expression.
"This can only be decided by Yang Qingyin and me, you all should stay out of it!" Luo Ziling chuckled.
"I’m telling you this for your own good," Luo Yuqing said angrily, "Have you thought about the consequences of your conflicts with the Yang Family, how Yang Yunlin and Yang Qingye treat you, and what will happen if you keep your relationship with Yang Qingyin? Haven’t you considered how Yang Qingyin feels about your disputes with the Yang Family? I imagine she must be in great pain."
"Feelings must endure the test of reality to distinguish between truth and falsehood." Luo Ziling smiled, "I believe we can make it to the end!"
After a sigh, Luo Yuqing finally dropped the subject.
"Forget it, let’s not talk about these matters anymore!" Luo Yuqing said, pouting, "Tell me about what happened after you went to Europe. In a month and a half, surely many exciting things have happened, right? Share some of the interesting things that aren’t confidential, would you?"
At this moment, Dai Shulan also emerged from the bathroom.
Listening to Luo Yuqing, she also appeared curious.
"You stayed in Europe for over a month, where did you go?" Dai Shulan asked, sitting beside Luo Ziling, feeling slightly embarrassed, "I’ve long wanted to travel to Europe but have never managed to go. Could you share some interesting stories from your time in Europe?"
"If I tell you that during this period in Europe, I barely had any leisure, and I’ve only visited two or three places in Berlin, hardly any of the famous sights in Paris, would you believe it?" Luo Ziling smiled wryly.
"Then what did you go to Europe for?" Dai Shulan asked, brimmed with curiosity.
"Things I can’t discuss," Luo Ziling smiled, "I really can’t talk about anything, sorry."
"I understand!" Luo Yuqing seemed to grasp what Luo Ziling was doing in Europe; she initially wanted to know which places Luo Ziling visited and if anything exciting happened.
After realizing Luo Ziling was unwilling to share more and offering such words as an excuse, she sensibly ceased probing.
Not wanting to make Dai Shulan uncomfortable, she proactively began talking about filming in Hengdian.
The drama Dai Shulan wrote is nearly completed in filming.
It can be said that ninety percent of the storyline has been filmed.
However, the remaining finishing touches require significant time.
According to Luo Yuqing’s estimate, it might not be completely finished before the end of December.
Initially, she planned to finish all tasks and edit all scenes before the end of December.
Now, it seems that idea was a bit na?ve.
Of course, the delay is related to Luo Yuqing’s stringent requirements.
Being her first time overseeing filming, combined with her seriousness and responsibility in work—striving to do a job to the best—
Consequently, the filming progress is much slower than other crews.
Nowadays, filming scripts aren’t as meticulously refined as before.
The 87 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" took three years to film, resulting in a masterpiece still much talked about decades later.
Lately filmed "Dream of the Red Chamber" had much shorter filming, naturally less refined, and the reception was far inferior to the 87 version when aired. Nowadays, some scripts with dozens of episodes are completed in just two to three months.
It’s impossible to be exceptional when unwilling to invest extensive time and limited financial input.
No exquisite significant dramas have emerged in recent years, possibly for these reasons.
Luo Yuqing was unwilling to compromise with other crew members; she was determined to make her debut script a masterpiece, thus her strictness.
When Luo Yuqing discussed these matters, Dai Shulan supplemented with additional insights.
For Dai Shulan, being personally involved in this script’s filming and handling every detail is her greatest success.
The script is like her child; she hopes it grows healthily, embraced and cherished by all.
Therefore, she’s spent the bulk of her energy on the script, neglecting studies somewhat—she’s taken over a month off.
Her favorite pastime is discussing scripts and filming with others.
Originally, she didn’t want to mention the script; today’s visit with Luo Yuqing was to see Luo Ziling. After Luo Ziling faced an assassin’s attack, narrowly escaping death, while leading his team to trace the culprit, chatting about unrelated matters seemed inappropriate.
However, seeing Luo Yuqing and Luo Ziling bring up filming matters, with Luo Ziling acting unfazed, she became less concerned and eagerly joined in discussing these topics with them.
After discussing these, Luo Ziling seriously instructed Luo Yuqing to keep an eye on Lingyun Film and Television.
After all, the capital expansion of Lingyun Film and Television is almost complete.
Upon completion, Lingyun Film and Television will be renamed to Northern Film and Television.
With capital expansion and renaming, internal changes are inevitable.
Before, Ouyang Family, Fang Family, and Luo Family held similar shares, but after expansion, Luo Ziling’s shares surpassed the other two, reaching forty percent, while Fang Family and Ouyang Family’s shares significantly decreased. This greatly enhances Luo Ziling’s, representing Luo Family’s, voice, and consequently, Luo Yuqing’s work increases as his representative.
During this expansion, Dai Shulan also invested money, owning three percent shares in the new Northern Film and Television, becoming a significant shareholder. Hence, she gains eligibility to participate in company management.
Luo Ziling informed them about these matters, encouraging them to engage more in company management affairs.
Both women nodded, indicating they would focus on participating in company affairs.
In this capital expansion, not only did Dai Shulan invest, but Cheng Binbin, Zhao Lijing, Yang Ying, and other film industry figures also invested. The newly added investors hold approximately fifteen percent of the total shares. Although Ouyang Feifei invested further, her shares dropped to twenty-five percent, and Fang Family, while modestly investing, only holds twenty percent.
"Zhao Lijing, Yang Ying, and Cheng Binbin are all company shareholders now, and they will assume corresponding roles. You all need to communicate and collaborate well, aiming to elevate Northern Film and Television as a giant in the film industry," Luo Ziling said with a smile. "When time allows, I’ll chat with them, and I believe they’ll be willing to join us in striving to expand Northern Film and Television further."
"Despite dealing with so many troublesome matters, you still have the mind to care about Northern Film and Television, huh?" Luo Yuqing looked at Luo Ziling with a teasing smile, "Are you anxious about us?"
"Not at all!" Luo Ziling shook his head, "Because Northern Film and Television is one of our vital enterprises, a cash cow for us. For our grand ambitions, we must properly handle everything, earn more money, and recruit more talents. Otherwise, everything remains but fantasies!"
Luo Ziling’s words commanded respect from Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan.
