Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!-Chapter 710 - 640: Already Soaked Through

Jiang Yu lightly tapped the mahogany tabletop with her fingertips three times, and the suspended projection instantly lit up.

On the map of Hua Country, densely packed red points spread like sores from the border into the heartland, especially in the two core entertainment industry areas of the Imperial City and Magic Capital, where the red points almost formed a blood-colored web.

"Xiaoxing, actually in many existing companies in Hua Country, they have already been infiltrated by investments from those remnants of the past. In many major matters, the voice of power is controlled by that group, especially in the entertainment circle, where the situation is more severe. Including some of the film crews you’ve invested in earlier, there are quite a few people inside who are using filmmaking as a way to whitewash that period of history..."

Yan Yueqing’s pupils suddenly contracted — three of the red points were precisely covering the three dramas she had just invested in.

This is...

Zhongxing and first-line companies just signed...

"Mom, what do you mean?" Yan Yueqing was a bit incredulous.

These dramas were all carefully selected by Director Tang, and it could be said they were quite important projects for Zhongxing this year. Especially "Qingwu Sound," a major Republican era production co-produced by Zhongxing, Xingyue, and Splendid Culture...

"Do you see clearly?" Jiang Yu’s voice was ice-cold, "The main creative teams in these film groups, those with any voice of power, almost more than sixty percent have taken money from something called the ’Returning Goose Fund.’

"Returning Goose Fund?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "Those left outside, using their plundered wealth, trying to overturn the current stability and return to the era when people were enslaved... They’ve formed a foundation, poured a lot of money into it, and are attempting to slowly erode everything from a cultural standpoint. And now, a large part of the culture that people can most directly receive comes from the entertainment circle..."

Yan Yueqing took a sharp intake of breath.

She pulled up a confidential file, "For example, this director, under the banner of ’cultural roots,’ uses dirty money to buy Hua Country film companies. The films they produce describe the Opium War as ’trade friction’ and beautify the people’s resistance as ’troublesome mobs’—"

Steam blurred the pain in her eyes, Jiang Yu felt a deep anguish, "And there are several award hosts, do you know who they love to invite to their judging panel? Last year, the hottest one, the chairman was a lackey of the Lowell family! He demanded that a work must delete all scenes of the despicable 731 troop, changing them into accomplishments of building hospitals and repairing railroads. The director refused, and that film still hasn’t passed the review."

Yan Yueqing clenched her fists tightly: "Since those people have infiltrated, I’ll have the producers stop production now—"

"It’s useless, Xiaoxing." Jiang Yu held her wrist, "Behind those people is the Lowell Consortium, controlling fifty percent of Hua Country’s imported film channels. If you stop production for a day, they can cut off supply to most photography studios."

She pulled up another stream of data, "What’s even scarier is that this money has already infiltrated to the bone. Look at the new recruits Soaring Sky signed last year—"

The projection switched to artist profiles, the photo of the popular Xiao Hua Yuanyuan appeared.

Yan Yueqing blurted out: "Isn’t she about to play the supporting female role in ’Qingwu Sound’?"

Speaking of which, the result of three-party investment is that each party will desperately pack people into it.

With Yan Yueqing’s strength, she could completely invest all, but she couldn’t possibly put all her funds in just Zhongxing’s basket. Nor would she foster a monopolistic atmosphere.

The circle needs healthy competition to flourish with diversity.

Moreover, with Splendid Culture initially bowing and offering goodwill, there’s no reason to create a formidable enemy.

After all, the main creative core is still arranged by Zhongxing here, so adding some people in supporting roles, Yan Yueqing doesn’t think it’s a terrible thing.

Since Si Younian left Soaring Sky Studio, there was almost no one left over there.
