Chapter 530: Battle of Succession

Although all kinds of preparations were made at the beginning, fortunately, Fan Bingbing's delivery process was very smooth.

On March 25, Pacific Time, Fan Bingbing successfully gave birth to a pair of babies at the Flower of Leith Manor.

Barron was very happy to have a pair of children, and what made him feel particularly different was that the pair of children inherited his blue eyes and high nose bridge, but their hair was black like Fan Bingbing.

Speaking of which, Barron's own genetic genes are still relatively strong. For example, he already had four children, one boy and three girls, and these children all inherited Barron's golden hair, but the pair of children born by Fan Bingbing had black hair.

In traditional Britain, hair color actually has a so-called contempt chain.

Among them, the most noble are black and golden hair colors - black hair is a symbol of Roman descendants, and the lighter the color of golden hair, the more noble the bloodline is considered.

For example, Barron's hair color is a lighter golden color.

As for brown or flaxen hair, it is a symbol of common people; while red hair is often considered low-class - because red-haired Celts are considered a symbol of slaves.

Just like in the British royal family, Prince Harry is the only one with red hair, which is often discussed...

Of course, it is not without the fact that Barron himself was a Chinese with black hair and black eyes in his previous life, so he feels a little special about having black-haired children among his descendants.

In the pair of twins born by Fan Bingbing, the boy was born earlier and is the older brother of the two. Barron gave him the English name Andy Cavendish; the girl's English name is Belle Cavendish.

As for their Chinese names...

"Why do they have the surname Chen?"

Fan Bingbing asked puzzledly.

Of course, Barron couldn't tell her that his last name was Chen in his previous life. He could only say (bian):

"Because when I first started learning Chinese, I wrote down the hundred family names very seriously and drew lots, and the one I drew was 'Chen'..."

Seeing the increasingly strange expressions of Fan Bingbing and her mother, Barron could only bite the bullet and continue:

"And I once gave myself a Chinese name, Chen Kailun..."

"Wait, dear, why not Chen Barron, but Chen Kailun?"

"Uh, Chen Barron doesn't sound good, so I chose Kai in triumph, which is Chen Kailun..."

Edit... No, it's that when Barron said this, he felt a little ashamed and said:

"It doesn't matter. Although I have never mentioned this Chinese name to others, I think if I give my children Chinese names, I hope they will have the surname Chen..."

Well, although it feels a bit... strange, Fan Bingbing still accepted Barron's words. Anyway, Barron is originally British, and it doesn't really matter what the child's Chinese name is.

So their son's Chinese name is Andy Chen, and their daughter's Chinese name is Chen Bei'er.

Because they were born in the United States, according to the principle of "birthplaceism" in the United States, Andy Chen and Bei'er Chen automatically have American nationality - Barron and Rebecca's daughter Jennifer was the same before.

However, before they turn 18, they can have the opportunity to choose their own nationality, so Andy Chen and Bei'er Chen can choose to follow their mother's nationality, China, before they turn 18 in the future. Jennifer can also choose British nationality before that, or have dual nationality of the United States and Britain - because the United States and Britain are countries that support dual nationality, while China is not.

After giving birth, Fan Bingbing will start recovery training, and she will join the crew in two months.

Yes, Barron has prepared a role for her, but it is not a movie, but a new drama that is being prepared - "Succession Battle".

Since last year, this TV series has begun to be prepared, and the script has been polished for countless times. It is expected to start filming at the end of May.

"Succession" mainly tells the inside story of the scandal of the international entertainment media giant family...

In which Logan Roy and his four children control one of the world's largest entertainment media groups. The elderly father Logan begins to withdraw from the company, and his children think about how to seize the opportunity to inherit this entertainment media empire.

Fan Bingbing is about to play the role of the young Asian wife of the old Logan in "Succession" and the stepmother of his four children.

Well, Barron did not mean to allude to the Murdoch family. It just happened that he needed to arrange a role for Fan Bingbing after giving birth...

After all, in this TV series, the Roy family's industry mainly includes media and cultural tourism, which looks more like the Disney Group rather than News Corporation.

And Barron also asked the screenwriters to refer to some related plots of other wealthy families more - after all, they just did business with Murdoch, and it was not so appropriate to turn around and shoot a TV series that alluded to their family too directly.

The setting of the young Asian wife of Logan in "Succession" will be adjusted according to Fan Bingbing's situation. She will be around 30 years old, beautiful, resolute and resourceful.

After giving birth, Fan Bingbing does not need to completely restore her figure to her pre-pregnancy appearance. A little plumpness is more in line with the setting of the character.

Another reason for choosing to start filming this TV series two months later is that by that time, some models of the British Motor Group will be officially launched.

Among them is the new flagship model Bentley Mulsanne. This ultra-luxury model built by Bentley will also become one of the main cars of the Roy family in the TV series, and will be given a close-up at the beginning of the film.

In addition to Bentley Mulsanne, new models of Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin will also appear in the film. Of course, it is impossible that there will be only models of the British Motor Group, which would be too fake. Models such as Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln, Cadillac, etc. will also appear, but the best close-ups will definitely be reserved for the brands of the "financial sponsor".

In fact, some plots in this version of "Succession" are different from those in the original time and space.

For example, the role of the young stepmother played by Fan Bingbing will be increased, and there will even be a character based on Barron...

When the Roy family encountered the greatest difficulties, the "stepmother" played by Fan Bingbing took a private plane to a spectacular and luxurious manor in England to meet the Duke of England, who had an emotional entanglement with her, and received support from the Duke, who was rich enough to rival a country, and obtained funds to save the family...

At that time, this plot will be filmed on location at Chatsworth Manor.

The wealthy life shown in the TV series will be very "realistic". The manor of the Roy family in "Succession" will be filmed at the Flower of Leith Manor where Fan Bingbing lives.

Moreover, Barron's helicopter, Gulfstream private jet, Devonshire, and even the "Caesar" super yacht will be provided to the crew to shoot some scenes.

It can be said that as many people say, "When the music sounds, there are thousands of gold bars."

After this drama is broadcast, I am afraid that when its classic opening music sounds, it will remind people of the extravagant life of the rich.
