I Can Turn into a Fish Chapter 222

Translator: Aristophaneso 

The sunken submarine had an advanced stealth outfit, and the sonar from the fishing ship could not detect its presence at all. There were no navy patrols nearby, and it looked like the naval military did not know where their submarine had disappeared to.

If Chu Xian had to guess, he would guess that something extraordinary had befallen this submarine.

Chu Xian called Hong Chenghai and told him what he had found.

“Xiao Xian, are you sure? Did you see for yourself that there was a sunken submarine on the sea bed?” Hong Chenghai was extremely surprised when he heard the news.

“Yes.” Chu Xian nodded. “Big Brother Hong, I accidentally found it while I was diving, but I did not dare to get too close. I took some pictures, and I'll send them to you.”

“Okay, okay. Quickly. Send them to me right away, and send me the location as well.” Hong Chenghai hurriedly nodded, and urged Chu Xian to make haste.

“En!” Chu Xian nodded, and sent the pictures and the coordinates to Hong Chenghai's phone.

The data for each of the photographs flew out and arrived on Hong Chenghai's phone, and when he saw the submarine, an immense amount of complicated emotion filled his heart, and he began breathing heavily.

Hong Chenghai immediately called Chu Xian again and told him to keep this matter a total secret, and then he called a new number.

“Leader, a friend of mine found the sunken nuclear submarine on the seabed. That's right, I have the photographs right here. I will send them to you.” After Hong Chenghai hung up the call, he lay back in his seat, his face incapable of hiding his excitement.

“If this is real, then this will be very good for me.” Hong Chenghai's face showed his expectation.

Out at sea, the Mermaid sailed forward quickly. The group of people sat on the deck, chatting casually.

At night, Chu Xian took out his fishing rod and caught some fish for their dinner.

“Later, you and Sister Ma can sleep in my cabin, and the rest of us guys can bunk on the floor.” After they finished eating, Chu Xian spoke to Yan Wenwen, Duan Ke, and the others.

“Sure, we don't mind. This will be my first time staying overnight on the ocean. I'm quite excited.” Ren Penghui smiled and replied.

“After today, you will no longer e excited, but will feel that it's a form of torture.” Chu Xian smiled at him.

This first time staying overnight on a fishing ship was nothing to celebrate, and after dinner Yan Wenwen could not fall asleep. She returned to the deck, sat down and took out her phone.

Chu Xian and the others were also bored, and they sat and chatted.

“Ah!”

At that moment, Yan Wenwen suddenly cried out, her eyes wide as she stared at her phone.

“What happened, Wenwen, why did you shout?” Duan Ke looked at her with a surprised smile.

“Director Duan, Feng Huo spread rumors about us on Weibo.” Yan Wenwen looked up angrily from her phone and called over to Duan Ke.

“What?” Duan Ke said in astonishment.

“I really don't know how shameless he can be!” Yan Wenwen said angrily.

“What Weibo. Let me see.” Duan Ke was still confused, and took out his own phone.

“Just look at what's trending on Weibo.” Yan Wenwen frowned and read the comments.

Duan Ke had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and when he opened Weibo, his expression immediately fell.

Feng Huo posted on Weibo that he was leaving the new director Dan Ke's movie. He called the movie complete trash with no redemptive value, and said that the investor was arrogant, overbearing, and violent, and he told his fans to definitely not watch this movie.

“Fuck!” Duan Ke read the headline and his expression grew dark, and he opened up Feng Huo's Weibo.

Indeed, back at Jing Hai City that morning, Feng Huo had posted a Wiebo, and right now that post had more than ten million views, and over seven hundred thousand comments.

“A few days ago, a young director asked me to come play the male lead in a movie. For one of my respected elder's face, I accepted, but I had no idea that not only was the movie boring, but the director was also rubbish. He wanted to rely on the power of celebrities to sell tickets at the box office, and what was the most infuriating, was that one of the investors of the movie actually used violence, and because he wanted us to do some outrageous things to attract attention, he actually attacked me.”

“What I couldn't stand the most was that, in order to save money, other than some famous actors and actresses, the rest of the cast were talentless day workers. Maybe since the director was used to filming online shows, he only cares about saving money. Hehe, I only have one sentence for a director like this who wants to make it: don't think too much.

“Originally I played the role of the male lead, and Yan Wenwen was the female lead, but after two days of filming, I could no longer stand this rubbish crew.”

“A director who wants to succeed by cutting corners and who can only promote a rubbish movie with famous face will never become a good director.

“As for that violent investor, I will use legal means to protect my rights.”

In the end, he attached a picture to his Weibo of a bruise on his arm.

His long essay had made comments from his fans, and every second ten more comments were posted, all of them insulting.

“Motherfucker. What is this rubbish crew, rubbish director, rubbish investor? They're all complete trash. It's because of these people that trash movies like this exist, and why China has so many rubbish movies.”

“I feel bad for baby Feng. This director and investor are really courting death. I hope their entire families burns up.”

“That's right. This director deserves to die, and this investor deserves to die. Feng Huo is right. We shouldn't watch this kind of trash movie, and we should boycott this trash director.”

“He actually dares to hit our baby Feng. Sisters, I've found this director's Wiebo. This director used to be a trash that filmed online tv shows, we can destroy his Weibo.”

“The person above me is right, we should destroy this asshole's Weibo.”

“Boycott this trash movie. We definitely won't watch it.”

“I feel bad for Wenwen. My goddess, you should quickly quit this movie as well. I'm worried that you will be taken advantage of by perverts!”

Duan Ke's face grew darker and darker as he read each comment, and then he looked at his own Weibo and saw all kinds of insults hurled at him and his family.

“Fucking dogs.”

Duan Ke couldn't resist cursing.

“Director Duan, not good. Some famous directors and actors have also commented.” Yan Wenwen suddenly called out to Duan Ke.

“What?” Duan Ke replied in surprise, and his face fell even further as he returned to Feng Quo's Weibo.

Indeed, some of the pinned comments had already been pinned in the trending comments section.

“Directors and investors are actually this arrogant nowadays? Are we in Hong Kong in the 80s?”

A famous director commented, mocking the arrogance and overbearing nature of the investor.

“Feng Huo little brother, don't be sad. Some people are just too much, and we can get back at them legally. If they've attacked people, we can have the police handle the matter.”

“This is the first time that I've encountered a director and an investor like this. I can't even imagine it. A film made by these people should not even make it to the theatre.”

There were three to four comments in total, all from famous names in the entertainment industry. All of them had close ties to Feng Huo, and made direct comments about the situation.

After they commented, the discussion became even crosier, and in the end there were calls for Duan Ke to leave the entertainment industry, and for everyone to boycott his work.

“This group of idiots, not know anything yet commenting shit!” Duan Ke's face grew red.

It was at this moment that Duan Ke's phone rang, and when he saw the caller id, his frown deepened.

“Father, no, I definitely can't. I've already begun everything, and there's so much invested. You can't tell me to stop now!”

“Dad, I'm begging you. I know this will be a great movie, and I have some hidden aces. I know it will do well in the box office!”

Five minutes later, Duan Ke could look stupefied at his phone, his head lowered powerlessly.

Chu Xian looked over and frowned, and he opened Weibo and looked up Feng Huo.

“Trash movie, trash director, trash investor?” Chu Xian's face grew cold as he read the words, and as he was reading he saw a personal message.

“Hehe, finding someone to sue me? To punish me with the law? I really want to see how you punish me.”

“Brother Chu Xian, I'm sorry.” At that moment, Duan Ke walked over to Chu Xian and lowered his head in apology.

Chu Xian saw his expression and frowned before asking what was going on.

“My father-in-law does not want me to keep filming, and he's taking back his investment. We won't be able to finish the film, but don't worry. I can return your money to you, I've only wasted your time.” Duan Ke rubbed his eyes.

“Director!” Yan Wenwen, Ren Penghui, Yan Zekun and the cameramen heard his words and gathered around in worry.

“Sorry everyone. Don't worry, I won't shortchange any of you.” Duan Ke looked at them red-eyed and promised.

Chu Xian tapped his chair, and then replied. “Just leave the investments of the movie to me, I can pay whatever we lack.”

“Brother Chu Xian.” Duan Ke looked at him with astonishment.

“Since we've begun, let's finish it. Even if we lose money it's alright, but we definitely can't let others succeed like this.” A flash of viciousness crossed Chu Xian's eyes.

“It's no use. Feng Huo's father has very good connections in the film industry.” Duan Ke said with embarrassment. “My father-in-law just told me that Feng Quo's father has sent an army to ask for reparations.”

Chu Xian frowned tightly. “His father? Even if his connections are this good, he can't just stop our movie from making it to the theatre?”

“No, but he will be able to limit the showings of our film.” Duan Ke replied.

“Are all the theaters so connected with these people?”

“Most of them. Feng Quo's father even has connections in the UK, so these theaters will all give him face.”

Duan Ke finished speaking and sighed deeply. “I didn't realize that he would be this famous, and I had no idea how influential his father is.”

“The UK?” Chu Xian's eyes flashed.

“Don't worry. We will continue filming, and just leave everything else to me. Even if we can't make it to the theatre, we can just just put it on the internet.” Chu Xian stood up and said.

Duan Ke looked at him with astonishment. “Chu Xian, you need to think this through. If we don't sell tickets at the theatres, we will lose over ten million, and maybe even a hundred million.”

“Don't worry, I have a handle on things.”

Chu Xian said with finality.
