The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 306 Reputation Continues to Suffer
Power is a wonderful thing; it can corrupt people exceptionally quickly. If it were half a year ago, Xu Jiuyang would never have said such a thing. But now, even with two new handkerchiefs, he is mostly filled with smugness.

Moreover... neither Chen Hao nor Yang Xue cared about this at all. They not only played wildly and enthusiastically, but also engaged in all sorts of sweet talk and comparisons afterward. I wonder how Sister Xiaoli and Fan Bingbing disciplined them.

Especially the latter. Chen Hao is at least Xiaoli's goddaughter, but Yang Xue is just a contracted artist under Fan Bingbing's company. Moreover, she was known for her villainous image in her previous life.

Okay, actors and roles are two different things and cannot be equated. The Tianlong production team has a perfect example right now. Liu Qianqian only becomes quiet when she is doing her homework, and even then, she is always troubled by it. She doesn't resemble Wang Yuyan, the academic genius, at all.

However, after that day, she stopped flirting with him. Unless they were filming together, she would not interact with him and would never hide her disgusted expression after filming.

Xu Jiuyang naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against the little girl; he'd settle the score with her god-sister for this small matter.

When the handkerchiefs were collected earlier, Chen Hao and Yang Xue were temporarily out of the picture. They recovered after a couple of days and were fine. He could continue to have women on both sides.

Add to that Xiaoli's ulterior motives... In short, it's better to spend that time teasing Da Mimi, at least she's very interesting and has goals and plans.

"Anyway, I'm going back now to work on the proposal properly and try to make it at least look presentable," Yang Mi said to Xu Jiuyang, as she was leaving the team in a few days.

"I'm waiting for your good news." Xu Jiuyang was naturally very encouraging.

Yang Mi gave an "OK" sign, then lowered her voice and asked, "By the way, did you and Qianqian have some kind of conflict? She always looks down on you when you're mentioned."

“It’s nothing. No one can be liked by everyone,” Xu Jiuyang naturally couldn’t say too much to her. “You don’t need to have any conflicts with her because of her attitude towards me.”

"But what if she forbids me from associating with you because of my attitude towards you?" Yang Mi asked with a chuckle.

"Then it's up to you." Xu Jiuyang said dismissively.

"You're too cunning," Yang Mi said, but still smiled. "I was going to do you a favor and act as a mediator between you two."

"Does the big sister care so much about her little brother?" Xu Jiuyang asked jokingly.

"Oh dear, I need your help, don't I?" Da Mimi didn't hide it at all.

"In that case, why not try harder and finish the proposal when we meet again in Xinchang?" Xu Jiuyang asked with a smile.

Although most of the scenes were filmed at the film and television city in Zicheng, some filming was also arranged in Xinchang. After all, such a large Condor Heroes Village was built, so it had to be put to use. For example, the story of Juxianzhuang was filmed, and the Great Buddha Temple was used to replace Shaolin Temple.

Most of the scenes in "Zhong Ling" were filmed in Zicheng, but some minor scenes were filmed in Xinchang and other locations, so we'll definitely see each other again then.

However, Yang Mi was a little annoyed: "You're rushing me like this. I'm still in school. I'm still a high school student!"

After saying that, he made a face and ran away.

Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but laugh. Sometimes he was mercenary, sometimes shrewd, sometimes straightforward, sometimes evasive, sometimes bold and generous, and sometimes petty.

Indeed, some people are most interesting when they are still in their raw, unpolished state.

"My little brother really likes her." A voice reached my ears.

"Yes, she's a very interesting young lady." Xu Jiuyang turned around, and the person in front of him was not Sister Xiaoli, but Gai Lili, who played Ruan Xingzhu in Tianlong.

That's right, just like Zheng Shuang, she came to us after reporting to the film crew.

But unlike other older women, she didn't have a skeptical attitude at first. She was very enthusiastic from the start, and became even more enthusiastic afterward. Not only did she always grant requests, but she was also exceptionally thoughtful.

It's worth noting that few women can rival Dong Qing's silver tongue; Gai Lili is one too, but she's very close. However, what matches her silver tongue is a boundless ambition.

Xu Jiuyang was not mistaken. In fact, Gai Lili did not hide her intention to poach people, but she did not say it openly, only hinting at it with words and actions.

Unfortunately, he had absolutely no interest. Putting aside the fact that Sister Xiaoli had Yangyang, his intuition told him that Gao Yuanyuan and the others had some kind of collaboration with Sister Xiaoli.

Although Xu Jiuyang had no evidence, and when Fan Bingbing visited the set and brought Yang Xue over, she only nodded to Sister Xiaoli, he still felt that there was something fishy going on.

Otherwise, why would they put their own actresses into Tianlong, especially since the older actresses clearly have a close relationship with Sister Xiaoli?

However, neither Sister Yuanyuan nor Sister Xiaoli mentioned this, so Xu Jiuyang didn't ask any further questions.

In this situation, what does Gailly's recruitment count for?

Of course, Xu Jiuyang didn't keep her hanging on. After she gave him a few hints, he gave a clear and unambiguous rejection.

Surprisingly, after being rejected, Gai Lili did not get angry or distance herself from him. Instead, she continued to hang out with him and even got involved with He Qing and Zheng Shuang, which was quite puzzling.

Xu Jiuyang didn't care much. He was already the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, why would he care about this?
"Do you need my help, sister?" Gali asked with a smile.

"She's Xixi's best friend," Xu Jiuyang reminded her.

“I know, that’s why I asked that,” Gally shrugged.

"So bold?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow, then said rather impolitely, "No need, Sister Lily."

Gai Lili didn't care at all and immediately changed the subject. Xu Jiuyang didn't mind and continued chatting with her.

After all, who else could he talk to besides them? Look at those male actors, they all avoid him like the plague, his reputation is being ruined.

Who knows if gossip will circulate a few years from now, such as actresses sleeping in their own tents during the filming of Tianlong, since the rumors of sleeping with the entire crew are already circulating inside the production.

Perhaps, he could call Angela or Li Yunxin over and have them walk around the set to intimidate the others, just like they did in the temporary training group before? Such a thought popped into Xu Jiuyang's mind.

That's obviously wishful thinking. Not only do they all have their own things to do, but even if they came, it wouldn't necessarily stop the crew members from having a gossipy nature.

Unexpectedly, when the scenes in Zicheng were almost finished in late October, Li Yunxin actually came to visit the set.

"Kim Tae-hee just told me that you just came back from South Korea?" someone asked, speechless.

“Yes.” Li Yunxin nodded with a smile, looking very cute, making it impossible to imagine her fierce demeanor when she scolded her subordinates until they were in a sorry state.

"Are you alright?" Xu Jiuyang asked with concern.

"It's alright, Dad... asked some questions about you," Li Yunxin said somewhat shyly.

"So, Mr. Li, do you have any advice for me?" Xu Jiuyang composed himself, showing no surprise.

This day was bound to come from the moment he had relations with Li Yunxin and took her handkerchief.

Although he had encouraged himself that as long as he was in the country, he didn't need to care about Lee Kun-hee's feelings, he was still a little nervous when he heard Lee Yoon-hyung say that he had inquired about him.
