Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 354: The Cangyue Calamity—Disaster After Disaster, Fear on All Sides

Just as he walked up to his own van, looking at the once spacious and imposing vehicle, Xiao He suddenly felt it seemed cramped.

He told Liu Rulan his idea: ”Sister Liu, what do you think about me buying an RV and staying in it with the production team from now on?”

Liu Rulan: ?

Liu Rulan glanced in the rearview mirror, her gaze also falling on the RV parked not far behind them, and asked, ”Youʼve taken a liking to Yuan Sitongʼs RV?”

”Itʼs not necessarily hers specifically, Iʼm mainly drawn to the functionality of an RV,” Xiao He explained. ”If we go to more remote filming locations later, having a vehicle like this would be great, whether for resting at noon or using it as a temporary sleeping place at night!”

Liu Rulan pondered for a moment, then nodded: ”Alright. Before, I thought staying in a hotel would be more comfortable for you than sleeping in an RV, but given the current situation, you staying in an RV recently isnʼt a bad solution.”

After all, heʼs a guy, itʼs fine if his living conditions are a bit rougher.

So Liu Rulan immediately pulled out her phone: ”Iʼll have them bring the car over right now.”

”Huh?” Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan in shock as she prepared to make the call and immediately stopped her action, ”Wait, wait, what do you mean? Since when do I have a car?”

How did he not know?
”The company arranged it for you.”

Liu Rulan glanced at Xiao He, ”It was actually just recently. Originally, it was planned for this car to follow you when you went out for location shoots, but given the special circumstances lately, you can just make do and stay here.”

Xiao He: So it was already arranged...

Xiao He was dazed for a moment, then eagerly rubbed his hands together: ”Whatʼs it like? What brand? How much?”

Liu Rulan gave a warning: ”Itʼs far inferior to the fancy one belonging to the wealthy neighbor over there, so donʼt get your expectations too high.”

”Ah, thatʼs nothing.”

Xiao He didnʼt mind;he just wanted to experience what it was like to live in an RV.

But before the car arrived, gossip did.

”Luo Zesheng has been taken away.”

Xiao Chen walked over and delivered this news.

Not entirely unexpected.

”They also took Sister Zheng and the director.”

This piece of news was somewhat distressing.

Liu Rulan also put down her phone, looking at Xiao Chen with a rather complicated expression: ”They got implicated too?”

”Apparently, itʼs because of that wire work accident that happened on set.”

Xiao Chen earnestly relayed the news he had heard: ”Sister Zhengʼs wire work accident was arranged jointly by her agent and Luo Zesheng. The agentʼs goal was revenge against Yu Xuezheng, while Luo Zeshengʼs goal was to prevent Yu Xuezheng from joining Jiaxing Entertainment. The staff member who carried out the act was found by Luo Zesheng. Because Luo Zesheng had leverage over this staff member, they had no choice but to do it. And this leverage was given to Luo Zesheng by the hotel manager...”

The complex relationships made even Xiao Heʼs head spin.

Wait a minute, actually, he didnʼt want to care about the grudges, affections, and hatreds between these few individuals at all.

”So what happens to the ʼCangyue Calamityʼ production team now?”

He was more concerned about the filming of the drama.

Liu Rulan, with a dark expression, shook her phone: ”The production has halted again.”

Xiao He let out a long sigh: ”Truly, things gotten for free are never good.”

Back then, he was just thinking of squeezing some benefits from Xingchen Entertainment. But now, look at this—hardly any benefits were gained, and upon closer inspection, he found both his palms and the backs of his hands covered in shit, with nowhere to wipe it off.

Xiao He was really afraid of this production team now.

Cangyue Calamity, each calamity is harder to endure than the last!

”If possible, Iʼd even want a refund.”

Xiao He said gloomily.

Liu Rulan also felt somewhat awkward.

After all, she was the one who recommended this production team back then. Who could have predicted so many things would happen later?

Of course, Xiao He didnʼt mean to blame Sister Liu.

No matter how you spin it, the production team ending up like this is ultimately the fault of the bad guys.

”Alright, letʼs leave the production teamʼs matters like this for now. Weʼll see how the investors arrange things from here.”

Yu Xuezheng and the director were probably just taken for additional statements and inquiries;they should return soon. But their producer... well, thatʼs another one sacrificed.

It wasnʼt just Xiao He who was depressed;several investors were also very frustrated.

Xingchen Entertainment.

When Tao Zidong learned that the ʼCangyue Calamityʼ production team had yet another incident, his face was already devoid of any extra expression.

—Life and death are now seen as trivial, do not disturb.

”President Tao, the production team over there...”

”Weʼll send one person, and Jiaxing will also send one—”

Tao Zidong said with ”cloud-like lightness and breeze-like gentleness,” then paused before continuing, ”Also inform Ling Huiʼs side and have them send someone over too.”

Actually, there can be quite a few people holding the producer position in a production team—sometimes as many as six or seven. But most of them are just titular, with only one or two actually going to the site and staying with the crew.

And now, Tao Zidong decided to call all the producers over: ”Besides the newly added ones, everyone else must also go to the production team, stay there at all times, and closely monitor every move of the crew.”

”Since none of them are any good, letʼs throw them together and try gu poison, see whose poison is stronger.” Tao Zidong spoke through gritted teeth, his expression somewhat ferocious. ”I refuse to believe that using poison to attack poison canʼt yield a solution.”

Subordinate: ...Oh no! Our President Tao has been driven mad!

On the other side, the boss of Jiaxing Entertainment also received this news.

When Song Yuanqi learned of this matter, he first stepped out from behind his desk, bowed respectfully in all four directions, and then said to his secretary: ”Find another person to send over. Before they go, have a master calculate their Eight Characters. Also, check the production teamʼs fortune again.”

”Everything was fine, how did so many incidents happen in this production team...”

He paced back and forth in his office, then continued instructing: ”Also have the master calculate again, pick an auspicious day and hour, and have the production team hold another opening ceremony. It must have been that the posture during the last opening was wrong, the day wasnʼt chosen well.”

If the drama wasnʼt already almost halfway filmed, Song Yuanqi would have really wanted to pull the investment and run.

But he couldnʼt run. Their Jiaxing was at the forefront;running now would mean all the previous investment would go down the drain.

After much thought, Song Yuanqi could only brace himself and seek some metaphysical comfort.

As for Xiao Heʼs side, the time had already reached the afternoon. Xiao He, who had just enjoyed a wonderful nap in his brand-new RV, got out of the car and immediately heard Liu Rulanʼs persuasive voice.

”Old Ma, you definitely need to take charge this time. Otherwise, I wonʼt feel at ease with anyone else.”

”It wonʼt happen, it wonʼt happen. Although this production teamʼs feng shui really isnʼt good, President Song will later hold another opening ceremony. He will definitely arrange for the best master to perform the rituals. From now on, the production team absolutely wonʼt have any more problems.”

”Ah, and think about it, isnʼt Xiao He also in this production team? Didnʼt you say heʼs a lucky star? With him there, what are you afraid of?”

”Old Ma? Manager Ma? Could you really reconsider?”

”Manager Ma? Producer Ma?”

”Hello? Hello?”

Xiao He, who had overheard most of it from the side, twitched the corner of his mouth. He walked over to Liu Rulan and asked, ”Planning to have Old Ma go be the producer for ʼCangyue Calamityʼ?”

”To be precise, each party will contribute one producer.”

Liu Rulan sighed.

”But the news about ʼCangyue Calamityʼ has already spread far and wide. Everyone knows ʼCangyue Calamityʼ has some metaphysical issues, and producers are taken away one after another. You also know Old Ma is extremely superstitious. Now, as soon as he hears about this, his attitude is completely one of avoiding it like the plague. I even brought you up, and he remained unmoved. He even advised us to run away quickly. If even you canʼt suppress it, then this production team is even less of a place he can stay.”

Xiao He: ...

To be honest, not just Old Ma—if he had known such complicated things would happen back then, he would have absolutely refused to come to this production team too.

Unfortunately, a thousand pieces of gold canʼt buy foreknowledge.

Now, wanting to terminate the contract or withdraw the investment would mean a huge amount of compensation!

Xiao He could only pinch his nose and accept it: ”Then donʼt make things difficult for Old Ma. Just find anyone to go over and hold the title.”

Better not mistreat the ”old-timers.”
