The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 297 You wouldn't have fallen for me too, would you?

"What kind of allies are these!" Yang Mi was grumbling in her room at the moment.

Although she was happy to celebrate her birthday and finally felt free to do as she pleased, she was still somewhat annoyed by Liu Qianqian's provocation.

Rationally, Yang Mi also knew that although Liu Qianqian was not the kind of spoiled, overly self-conscious character in some simulated future scenarios, she was still spoiled from a young age and rarely considered other people's feelings when she spoke and acted.

It's simply that with the simulation system, she can better cater to those who need to be catered to on the surface.

Otherwise, even if she really has feelings for Tang Yan, she shouldn't provoke me directly!

"At least look presentable, don't embarrass yourself!" Yang Mi slammed her fist on the small table next to her.

This was said by Tang Yan, who was truly speechless at this typical naive and innocent girl. Although she had already witnessed this side of her in the simulation, she still found her quite troublesome in real life.

Well, this girl was raised in a wealthy family since childhood, but her family wasn't particularly rich. As a result, although her daughter was raised without any worries, she also became simple-minded and often relied entirely on intuition to think about problems.

Even Liu Shishi had some cunning, but Tang Yan was completely naive. As long as someone was nice to her, she would trust them. In many simulations, she would only mature after suffering a great loss in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles... It seems she didn't mature much, otherwise she wouldn't have plunged headfirst into the world of naive and innocent heroines and never come out.

In short, Tang Yan in this state is very suitable to be trained, oops, very suitable to be cultivated into a confidante, so it's no wonder that Liu Qianqian showed the idea of ​​snatching her away.

"So, attending a little girl's birthday party, especially a small gathering with only a few people, is it something people would say? If you were here, you could at least intimidate Liu Qianqian a little!" Yang Mi complained again.

She had indeed invited Xu Jiuyang, after all, he was the only powerful figure she could cling to so far, but the invitation was made in a simulation.

Despite various reasons, the Xu Jiuyang in the simulation is not the same as the real Xu Jiuyang. Some things can only be revealed in the simulation; he would never say them in reality. Yang Mi has tried several times, so it's hard to say how reliable this information is.

However, this information can at least be used as a reference; it's up to you to make your own judgment.

For example, in this simulation, that guy said: "I never celebrate birthdays, whether it's my own or... or a friend's. If I really can't avoid it, I'll just send a text message and a red envelope, but I definitely won't participate. The reason is simple: if you participate in this, do you have to participate in that? If you give a gift to this, do you have to give a gift to that? If you give an expensive gift to this, do you have to give an expensive gift to that?"

Although it sounds exaggerated—it's just a birthday party, why make such a fuss?—Yang Mi thought about it for a moment and realized what he was really talking about, and confirmed it.

It's very simple. If he gave Liu Qianqian a big red envelope for her birthday, but only a small one for his own, he would definitely be unhappy.

"Damn it..." Yang Mi sighed as she lay down on the bed.

But it doesn't matter. Things have to be done in order. The most important things right now are to finish filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and to urge Xu Jiuyang to help set up a shell company, then terminate the contract with Rong Xinda and sign Liu Shishi and Tang Yan.

Fortunately, two more days passed, and it was finally her turn to act alongside Xu Jiuyang.

"Don't worry, I've made the call, and the funding issue has been resolved. Once you've finished filming, I'll give you her number so you can contact her directly," Xu Jiuyang told Yang Mi. "Of course, before that, I still need to review your proposal."

"No problem!" Yang Mi excitedly agreed immediately.

"Listen, what I want to see is the proposal you've prepared. No matter how naive or unreliable it is, it has to be something you did," Xu Jiuyang said, emphasizing his point.

"Don't worry, I've got it. I guarantee I made it myself," Yang Mi said, patting her chest.

This good news made her extremely happy, and her acting went very smoothly. Most of the scenes could be filmed in one take, and the few difficult ones had fewer than 20 takes. However, someone still felt it wasn't good enough. "Big sister, you're a child star, and you were very natural in 'Monkey Boy.' How come your acting is now even worse than Liu Qianqian's?" Xu Jiuyang asked her curiously.

"First of all, I am not a child star," Yang Mi replied seriously. "The few movies and TV series I have acted in were all cameo roles. I think only child actors who have played the lead role for several consecutive years can be considered child stars, such as Shi Xiaolong."

"So?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow.

"So, as a newcomer with only a little acting experience, isn't it normal that I can't compare to talented people in acting?" Although she was rolling her eyes inwardly, Yang Mi still tried her best to maintain a serious expression.

“That’s possible…” Xu Jiuyang nodded, stroking his chin.

"But do you really think my acting skills are inferior to hers?" Yang Mi immediately asked again.

"Well, she's just average when acting with other people, but she performs very well when acting with me," Xu Jiuyang recalled.

No doubt about it, it's definitely a skill! Da Mimi gritted her teeth, then said in a pretentious tone, "Maybe... she's interested in you."

"What kind of statement is this?" Xu Jiuyang's eyes widened.

"Otherwise, why would I perform so well when acting with you, but only so-so when acting with others?" Yang Mi said casually. "After all, you're a humanoid succubus, attracting a lot of attention wherever you go. It's only been a few days since filming started, and you're already..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but the other person definitely knew what she meant. After all, Guo Xianni, who played Gan Baobao, had just arrived at the film set the day before yesterday and came out of his room today.

Yes, Yang Mi saw it through a simulation. She just did it casually, but she didn't expect to see such a shocking scene.

If Zheng Shuang was pulled over by He Qing, Guo Xianni is from Hong Kong, and had no prior connection with him—this is what he said himself in the simulation.

Xu Jiuyang looked embarrassed and immediately coughed to cover it up: "Well..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes darted around: "You're actually paying so much attention to this? You wouldn't happen to have some designs on it too, would you, boss?"

"Me? Having feelings for someone?" Yang Mi's eyes widened, trying to put on an incredulous expression. "I treated you like a buddy! How could you say that to me!"

To make her point more convincing, she immediately added, "I admit you're handsome, but you're not my type!"

"So what kind of type do you like?" Xu Jiuyang asked immediately.

“I like…” Yang Mi subconsciously started to think, but immediately realized, “Why are you asking this?”

She then feigned a startled expression: "You wouldn't have fallen for me too, would you?"

"Hmm... Big Sister is quite pretty, she'll definitely be a great beauty in the future." Xu Jiuyang said with a smile, although he didn't answer directly, it was no different from flirting.

Yang Mi twitched her lips, but still put on a serious expression: "Let me tell you, we have financial dealings now. Once feelings are mixed with money, they become impure, and I will absolutely not do that."
