The next morning.

Chen Yiyang rubbed his head as he got out of bed and took a look at today's antique discovery.

It was an antique worth around 100,000.

Chen Yiyang didn't rush; he continued to scroll through the messages on his social media.

His assistant, who is responsible for managing various investment contacts, sent him many messages, all discussing one matter.

A once-famous actor, now blacklisted, wishes to talk to Chen Yiyang.

Seeing this actor's current situation as being blacklisted surprised Chen Yiyang.

He thought, what kind of no-good people dare to reach out to him?

An actor blacklisted by the industry likely did something not illegal but against public ethics and morality to end up this way.

He was about to instruct his assistant to reject such matters outright in the future.

But halfway through typing.

Chen Yiyang saw the actor's name sent by his assistant: Pan Yuming.

Chen Yiyang was quite familiar with this actor and had seen his work before.

However, Chen Yiyang usually doesn't follow star gossip closely.

How did this actor get blacklisted by the industry? He remembers that Pan Yuming had a decent public image.

And he's a capable actor, not just a pretty boy.

What could have happened to him?

Curious, Chen Yiyang looked it up.

It turned out that Pan Yuming had previously married an actress named Dong Bai.

But a couple of years ago, Dong Bai directly stated on social media that Pan Yuming became impotent due to a car accident, was a gambling addict, and was abusive, forcing her to unilaterally announce their divorce.

Dong Bai had always had a fairly good public image, and as soon as she posted this, the public rushed in to accuse Pan Yuming.

Friends of Dong Bai also joined in, vigorously spreading the issue.

Additionally, since Pan Yuming himself did not publicly deny the allegations, his reputation hit rock bottom.

Almost no major projects dared to employ him anymore.

Because film and television works are for public consumption, no investor would want to hire someone so widely criticized, unless they could withstand all backlash.

As a result, Pan Yuming was softly blacklisted by the industry.

"It seems like he kind of deserves it," Chen Yiyang thought, though he wasn't exactly a feminist.

But he also believed that domestic violence was unforgivable.

As of now, however, Chen Yiyang found that all the accusations against Pan Yuming came from Dong Bai alone.

Even though Pan Yuming did not publicly deny it, he believes Dong Bai's claims are untrue.

On Dong Bai's side, it seems she's completely at odds with Pan Yuming, but she's only posted an essay without any evidence.

No police report, either.

What a mess.

Chen Yiyang was a bit puzzled; an essay is not a court verdict, so why did everyone believe her as soon as she posted it?

For things like this in the entertainment industry, he needed to consult a professional.

Gong Fan was definitely not the one.

Though he's made a few films, he's deeply focused on filmmaking.

Asking him about gossip probably wouldn't yield results.

Besides, he wasn't formally trained in film, so he didn't have many colleagues to get gossip from.

So, Chen Yiyang called director Rao Zhi, who had previously filmed "Nobody Knows."

Director Rao Zhi was professionally trained and had a wide network, thanks to his theater background.

Upon receiving Chen Yiyang's call, Rao Zhi found it quite strange.

Why was Chen Yiyang suddenly inquiring about Pan Yuming?

Upon learning that it was because Pan Yuming was blacklisted and had no choice but to reach out to Chen Yiyang,

Rao Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I do acknowledge Pan Yuming's acting skills. I've heard a bit about his situation with Dong Bai, but I can't say for certain if the allegations of gambling and domestic violence are true.

But I do know a little gossip I can share with you."

"What gossip?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"When Dong Bai publicly accused Pan Yuming on social media, there was a male friend of hers, Wang Dazhi, who also posted criticisms of Pan Yuming.

However, a friend of mine quietly told me that long before Dong Bai announced her divorce from Pan Yuming, she and Wang Dazhi were already involved. Allegedly, they were even photographed by paparazzi. But the photos never surfaced; it seems Dong Bai paid the paparazzi to suppress the story."

The entertainment circle sure is explosive.

Chen Yiyang was thoroughly enjoying the gossip.

So could there really be hidden truths in Pan Yuming's situation?

Chen Yiyang decided to meet with Pan Yuming first.

So he called his assistant, instructing him to inform Pan Yuming that they could meet either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Since Chen Yiyang also wished to chat with Director Yang Zhou, he planned to stay in Shudu until tomorrow before leaving.

Pan Yuming, after learning that Chen Yiyang was willing to see him, immediately stated he would arrive in Shudu by the following morning.

After acquiring the small antique mentioned in the intelligence report in the afternoon, Chen Yiyang continued his conversation with Yang Zhou that evening.

Upon waking up the next morning, Chen Yiyang took a glance at the discovery intelligence.

Today's intelligence mentioned a top-tier suspense detective drama: A director in Shudu is currently seeking investors for his TV series. Investing in the series now would complete the discovery.

Contact information of related personnel is attached on the second page.

Another film and TV investment discovery.

A top-tier suspense detective drama.

Chen Yiyang was somewhat surprised by today's discovery title.

Could domestic filmmakers produce such a high-caliber suspense detective drama?

Due to some well-known reasons, domestic suspense, crime, and detective films and TV series have long been subject to various influences.

As a result, there's a lack of talent, and the productions often turn out poorly.

Chen Yiyang hadn't expected to see a top-tier suspense detective drama looking for investment today.

This was definitely worth a conversation.

After coordinating with his assistant, it was confirmed that Pan Yuming's flight was delayed and would arrive a few hours late.

So Chen Yiyang chose to first communicate with the TV series director.

The person was currently in Shudu and, upon hearing Chen Yiyang's name, directly invited him to pick a place to meet immediately.

Thus, Chen Yiyang first went to meet them.

Upon arrival, Chen Yiyang met two people.

One was Director Wang Wei, the other was Screenwriter Gu Bai.

In the film and TV industry, Chen Yiyang was now somewhat known as a "generous little capitalist."

He was quick with funding, had few additional conditions, and every project he invested in made money.

Plus, he was so young.

It wasn't surprising people thought he was a second-generation rich kid, with parents behind him strategizing.

The two were initially seeking investors in Shudu and, upon hearing that Chen Yiyang wanted to meet.

They promptly brought the script over.

"White Night Chasing Killer?" Chen Yiyang glanced at the script title on the cover.

"I remember Japan has a relatively famous suspense novel called 'Into the White Night'; are the two related?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.

"No relation." Screenwriter Gu Bai quickly responded, "Our script is original, and that novel is about schoolchildren, whereas our script is more of a hardboiled suspense detective genre."
