The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 138 This is an invitation

What followed was a silence that lasted for several minutes. The people present stared at each other, all a little at a loss.

Fan Qiaoqiao had to remind him, "What are the conditions? What are the conditions for this role?"

"Conditions?" Xu Jiuyang finally came to his senses. "No conditions at all. It's just a wife role, maybe ten to fifteen minutes of screen time, and I can act with Liang... and a Hong Kong star."

"That's it?" Fan Qiaoqiao rubbed his forehead. "Please give me more details, such as the character's personality, and the personality of the husband who plays the role with me."

"The script hasn't been finalized yet, how would I know?" Xu Jiuyang spread out his hands.

"Can't you just talk to your...what's his name? The newly appointed deputy director of Columbia Greater China?" Fan Qiaoqiao pondered.

Xu Jiuyang was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this was another way to establish his own prestige.

"Angela Lindwall," he replied immediately. "I've indeed been in touch with her, but the script is still being finalized. I estimate it will take until at least next month, early June, for the first draft to be ready."

After a pause, Xu Jiuyang immediately continued, "Of course, when I was acting as her script doctor, I suggested that the husband's character should be gentle yet firm, and that his wife would have the same personality."

He glanced at the girls in front of him and said, "Also, since the time period is set in the late Warring States period, the age of the wives fluctuates greatly. So whether or not they will be chosen depends mainly on their acting skills."

After these words came out, Wan Qian's eyes lit up obviously, but Fan Qiaoqiao immediately cast a stern look at her, forcing her to shut up when she wanted to speak.

"That's all the information. Even though it might not be very useful, I still want to tell you that these things must be kept secret, otherwise it might affect the subsequent situation," Xu Jiuyang said as he stood up. "That's all. You guys should practice more. There's an audition coming up over there, and I'll notify President Fan as soon as possible."

After giving Fan Qiaoqiao a look, he left the meeting room and went straight to her office.

Then, he waited for a long time before Fan Qiaoqiao came in.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Jiuyang asked.

"That's all," Fan Qiaoqiao rolled his eyes at him. "I've already agreed with them to make some basic preparations first. When you say it's okay to audition, they'll go. The process still has to go."

Then she sighed. "Couldn't you have said a little more? Like, describe the other person's energy, and then describe how obedient they are to you?"

"Describe again how obedient I am to you?" Xu Jiuyang asked.

"Are you the one who listens to me, or am I the one who listens to you? Don't you have any idea?" Fan Qiaoqiao asked back angrily.

Xu Jiuyang had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender: "Then I'll go back to the conference room and put on a show with them?"

Fan Qiaoqiao glared at him and gritted his teeth: "You can go back to be with your girlfriend now."

"Thank you, Mr. Fan." Xu Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, patted his butt and left.

Despite this, he couldn't help but sigh after going outside, and he had no idea why he sighed. When he returned home and Li Xiaoran told him that the actress who played Huang Rong was called Yang Rong, he actually asked where they found an actress with the same name.

"Yang Rong! Mu Yi Yang!" Li Dabai shouted angrily.

"I know, I know. Why are you yelling so loudly?" Xu Jiuyang had to turn his head to prevent the Hedong Lion's roar from deafening his ears. Then, doubts arose in his heart, "Yang Rong? From Yunnan Province?"

"Yes, she's a Bai girl, very pretty, lively, and petite, exactly like Huang Rong's description." Li Xiaoran nodded, then frowned, feeling something was wrong. "Wait, husband, how did you know she was from Yunnan?"

"Of course I've seen her information," Xu Jiuyang said calmly, "I remember... it was from the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama..."

"It should be Beijing Film Academy," Li Xiaoran took over the conversation, "She said she will officially graduate from Beijing Film Academy next year." "Then it should be... right?" Xu Jiuyang was a little uncertain.

He didn't have a deep impression of Yang Rong. In his previous life, he paid some attention to her after she played Huang Wenxiu. He only knew that she was lazy and had missed many opportunities because of her lazy personality. He didn't know what school she attended.

But it shouldn't be Beijing Film Academy. Beijing Film Academy has produced many stars, and they all have some connection with each other. But he doesn't remember any well-known Beijing Film Academy star who interacted with Yang Rong about school matters.

What did this have to do with him? He didn't even care that Yang Rong had replaced Xun Ge'er as Huang Rong in Zhang Da Huzi's The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Even so, Xu Jiuyang still asked casually: "Does she have any works?"

"Hmm..." Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, "She starred in the drama 'The Twins' that aired in March this year."

"Two stunning beauties..." Xu Jiuyang recalled and almost started twitching his lips again.

He remembered this TV series, which used mostly second-tier actors, but received very high ratings after it was broadcast, and also made MLM Lady an instant hit in mainland China.

Coupled with the subsequent "Love Across Time and Space", she was able to gain a foothold in the mainland and started her own fraud business step by step. Therefore, there are rumors that "The Twins" was invested by her husband to make her famous.

If this is true, then Yang Rong's interception is worth pondering.

So Xu Jiuyang put the matter behind him. Just something like this could move me? You underestimate me!

"If she dares to bully you during the filming, remember to tell me and I will take care of her!" he said confidently.

"That's not so exaggerated. I'm still quite polite." Li Dabai said coquettishly, then bit her lip and put her arm around Xu Jiuyang's arm: "Hubby, I'm sorry."

"What do you mean sorry?" Xu Jiuyang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and immediately hugged her with a smile: "Oh, I thought it was something else. You used to be loud too. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, I can tell the difference."

"But I have been a little irritable recently." Li Dabai muttered as he snuggled into his arms.

"Is it because you didn't have enough fun with Sister Yuanyuan and the others, or because I didn't feed you enough?" Xu Jiuyang asked deliberately.

"I don't know either," Li Xiaoran pouted, "I'm just... simply irritated."

Xu Jiuyang was silent for a moment. Even though she only said this one sentence, he still understood what she was upset about. Women's intuition was quite accurate in some things.

So, he turned Li Dabai over, raised his hand and started slapping her buttocks.

"Irritable, huh?"

"Not happy, huh?"

"Loud words, huh?"

Xu Jiuyang spanked him more than ten times before he stopped. Li Dabai, who was lying on his thighs, was already blushing and looking at him with tearful eyes, unable to speak.

"Are you still upset now?" he asked threateningly.

Although he pouted, Li Dabai still put on a stubborn look: "If you have the guts...if you have the guts, don't go through the back door tonight!"

Oh, is this an invitation? This is an invitation! Xu Jiuyang immediately rolled up his sleeves: "Very good, this is what you said. If you can't return to the crew tomorrow, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"
