The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 121: Script Doctor (Second update for Lantern Festival, and also to celebrate Nezha 2's billion box office success)

In fact, Li Yunxin did not reach any agreement with Angela during her meeting today, but after testing each other, the conversation went well.

At least that's what the third young lady thinks.

As long as she is not interested in Xu Jiuyang, then everyone can still cooperate... This sounds a bit strange, but that's what she means.

Anyway, in their previous contact, Angela clearly told Li Yunxin that she only needed Xu Jiuyang to provide advice, nothing else.

This is also why Li Yunxin agreed to help her meet Xu Jiuyang, and also reached a deal with Angela.

Judging from today's results, Angela did not behave in any unusual way - of course, whether it would be the same in the future was uncertain, so the third young lady would still keep one eye open.

She is right.

"You don't seem to be in a very good mood. Didn't you meet that important person you mentioned today?" On the way back, Annie, who was still driving, asked Angela curiously.

"Yes, I'm just worried that Li Yunxin will be a strong opponent." Angela said, rubbing her forehead.

"Samsung...hasn't entered the mainland's entertainment industry, right?" Annie recalled.

"No, it's something else." Angela shook her head.

"It's about the big plan in your mind, I see." Anne was understanding.

"Well..." Angela looked at her apologetically through the rearview mirror, then looked out the window.

She did not lie to Li Yunxin about her attitude towards Xu Jiuyang. If possible, she really only wanted to listen to his advice when necessary, and it would be best not to have any interaction at other times.

But there is a problem here. Will the devil who is peeping into your soul allow you to take advantage of this loophole?
Of course not. Even in the past, she could find several ways to force herself. What's more, now she has competitors who remind her all the time that she is not the only woman with the system.

In this situation, even if the devil didn't instigate her, she couldn't trust anyone else, having fought her way through it—at least not completely.

"We can only take it one step at a time." Angela sighed, becoming even more annoyed.

If Zhang Yuning had been a little smarter, she wouldn't have been so passive. Not only did she lose the initiative, but her original plan also had to be significantly adjusted. For example, the future Miss World Zhang Zilin had to give up temporarily.

Taiwanese people are truly useless, Angela thought coldly. She would only give her one more chance. If she couldn't seduce Xu Jiuyang, then there was no need for her to stay here. Trash would go where trash would go.

However, both Ni Hongjie and Tang Wei now have other arrangements. When they were recruited, in addition to the simulated future fame, they were also recruited because their majors were somewhat useful and could be trained in a targeted manner.

As for the actress who was signed at the beginning of the year, she is still undergoing "training" in the United States and will not be available for use until at least the second half of the year.

Thinking of this, Angela couldn't help but sigh again. Why didn't she think of digging into the system?

Li Yunxin's deal with her was to use her influence to help poach people from CCTV. Because the methods were quite drastic, she needed her help to provide cover.

To put it more clearly, because it involves Korean capital, it is not easy for Li Yunxin to recruit people personally afterwards. Angela needs to come forward to rescue people and just take them out of the mainland.

"First, let's collect information about Lu Yun and see who the white glove is... We can't intercept him, we still have to have some credibility, but... can we expand it?" Angela muttered to herself, and then her emerald eyes lit up, "Wait, it seems... that this can be done?"

I have to say that in some things, her approach is surprisingly similar to Li Yunxin's.

Perhaps this is the difference between Chinese people who have experienced certain things and foreigners who have not experienced certain things.

Of course, this is all a matter for the future. The most important thing for Angela now is to repair her relationship with someone.

"Please sit down, Jiuyang, would you like something to drink?" Angela said this after making a gesture of invitation to someone who entered the office.

"Coffee bar..." Xu Jiuyang sighed, seeming a little absent-minded.

After giving her secretary Annie a look, Angela asked again, "If you have something on your mind and it's not convenient for us to talk now, we can change the time." "Nothing," Xu Jiuyang shook his head quickly, "I'm just a little dazed..."

After saying that, he glanced at Annie who was making coffee.

Other things are fine, but not this. Angela frowned slightly, but remained calm: "The coffee in my office is ground with the best Blue Mountain coffee beans from Jamaica. I hope you like it."

"Maybe. It is said that the coffee beans produced in Blue Mountain are one of the best coffee beans in the world. I have never tasted it." Xu Jiuyang quickly returned to normal.

Even when Annie brought the coffee over, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

"Let me be frank, Jiuyang, I hope to hire you as my script doctor," Angela said bluntly after the female secretary left, holding up the cup. "You know what a script doctor is, right?"

"Of course, but... do you need a script doctor?" Xu Jiuyang was very puzzled.

"Didn't you suggest I invest in the entertainment industry?" Angela smiled. "I used my connections to get the position of Vice President of Sony-Columbia Pictures Greater China. I also established a film and television company using a multi-layered equity structure. I signed Zhang Yimou and are preparing to produce a major Chinese production..."

"Wait a minute," Xu Jiuyang interrupted, "You said... you signed Zhang Yimou?"

"Yeah," Angela nodded. "It took quite a while to deal with his partner, who also has the surname Zhang. This is the first time I've seen someone so greedy, even shameless."

"So..." Xu Jiuyang made a few meaningless gestures.

"I asked someone to tie him up and throw him into the Yongding River." Angela said calmly.

"Ah...ah?" Xu Jiuyang opened his mouth wide.

Angela chuckled: "Just kidding, I didn't show up from beginning to end, otherwise he would be in jail for extortion by now."

Xu Jiuyang opened and closed his mouth, opened and closed it again, and finally just raised his hand and made a gesture to continue.

"Zhang Yimou had already prepared a draft, but after working on it for several months, the script they handed in was... well, how should I put it," Angela sighed. "Sorry, I can't think of a suitable adjective right now. Using the phrase 'Italians see pineapple pizza' doesn't seem quite right either."

"Can I take a look at the script first?" Xu Jiuyang also sighed.

"Of course." Angela immediately took out a thick stack of manuscripts from the drawer and pushed it in front of him.

Xu Jiuyang didn't look at it carefully. He first flipped through the first few pictures, then quickly flipped to the middle and looked at them a few more times, and finally flipped to the last picture and shook his head.

"It's stupid, isn't it?" Angela spread her hands.

"It's not stupid." Xu Jiuyang shook his head.

Angela was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, it's not stupidity, it's insanity. He's filled with a kind of inexplicable fantasy from beginning to end, as if throwing everything into a pot can stew food that everyone will like. I know who he's imitating, but I want to say that this is completely a case of imitating others."

"Such an accurate description, so accurate..." Xu Jiuyang looked at her, "so accurate that I can't help but doubt whether you are American, Anji."

"Why do you say that?" Angela immediately asked.

"Shouldn't you feel happy?" Xu Jiuyang spread out his hands, his eyes scrutinizing.

　That’s all I have. I probably won’t add any more chapters in the future. Although there are still a few chapters in draft, they are useful to keep.

　　Old readers all know that every two months I have to go to the provincial capital to help my mother go to the hospital to buy necessities. I run around all day and basically have no time to write.

　　Finally, I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival again.
