The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 314 Who needs your praise!
It's really nothing serious. There's a scene in the little mill where Wang Yuyan is changing clothes, and Liu Qianqian needs to show her shoulder or something, so she just made trouble out of nothing.

Xu Jiuyang even felt that she only came to flirt with him just to call him "papa".

Since that's the case, he naturally has to get revenge on her mother.

Despite the large and distracting crew, despite having Yangyang by her side, and despite needing to look after her eldest daughter, she could always find an opportunity if she wanted to.

"She's just... a bit spoiled, please bear with her..." Sister Xiaoli, nestled on someone's chest, murmured with her eyes half-closed.

This surprised Xu Jiuyang. Sister Xiaoli never talked about Qianqian in front of him, even when she was in the lingering mood and most likely to speak without thinking, she would try her best not to mention her.

So he's always been very cooperative, but why is he being so proactive today? Why the sudden change of heart?

“Sister, I suddenly remembered four famous quotes circulating online,” Xu Jiuyang said.

"What four famous quotes?" Sister Xiaoli asked, tilting her head slightly in confusion.

“We’re already here, and the person is already dead. It’s the New Year, and the child is still young,” Xu Jiuyang said casually. “Sister, can you understand the common thread in all of this?”

"Common ground?" Sister Xiaoli thought hard for a moment, then chuckled, and then sighed.

Her fingers unconsciously traced patterns on his abs: "I know what you want to say, little brother. Don't worry, I won't spoil her."

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang asked subconsciously.

After all, there are too many mothers in this world who promise everything in front of others, but behind closed doors they are exactly the same as before.

However, he regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth. After all, they had confided in each other, and it would be very inappropriate to say something questioning when the other party had made a promise.

Xu Jiuyang also understood that he was ultimately influenced by some information from his previous life, after all... the story of the mother and daughter was truly complicated.

But Xiaoli didn't say much, she just sighed and shrank back.

Therefore, he could only take a deep breath.

Some things can be kept from the crew and from many people, but not from certain people. So, the day after arriving at the crew, Liu Qianqian glared at Xu Jiuyang fiercely, looking like she was there to interrogate him.

But she was holding the script next to her face to prevent others from seeing it, which made her look quite comical and made someone burst out laughing.

The little girl blushed instantly and clenched her fists, but this only made someone laugh even harder.

"If you continue like this and don't say anything, be careful that others don't notice anything," Xu Jiuyang said with a laugh.

Liu Qianqian was even angrier, but she still didn't say anything. She stomped her foot heavily and ran away.

Xu Jiuyang shook his head. He was still too thin-skinned. If it were Fan Bingbing, after being rebuked like that, she would definitely pester him for some benefits.

He immediately realized what he was talking about and coughed lightly. How could he compare her to Fan Bingbing? If Sister Xiaoli knew, she would probably suck him clean.

Moreover, what if we discourage the young girl like this, and she has to do multiple takes during filming?
As it turned out, he was overthinking it. Although Liu Qianqian looked furious when she ran away, whenever she stood in front of the camera with him, as soon as the director yelled "Action," she would quickly get into character, as if she hadn't been affected at all. "Well done," Xu Jiuyang gave Liu Qianqian a thumbs up.

Unfortunately, the little girl gave a haughty snort and held her chin high, as if to say: Who needs your praise!
Then, when she acted alongside other actors, her true colors were revealed. For slightly more complex scenes, it was impossible to get it right without ten or more takes. But the directors and the others were probably used to it by now, and they just kept working on it with her, over and over again.

Xu Jiuyang originally wanted to take this opportunity to tease her a little more, but seeing how seriously she would adjust after each NG and how she would discuss things with the other actors after filming, he gave up on that idea.

Xiaoli's words weren't just perfunctory. At least this Liu Qianqian, aside from being a bit hostile towards me, is quite adept at interpersonal relationships and is praised by almost everyone on set—though it's uncertain how much of that is genuine.

Therefore, Xu Jiuyang temporarily refrained from bothering Sister Xiaoli, even though Yangyang was starting to call him "Dad" more and more naturally.

Even if you want to provoke Liu Qianqian, you still have her god-sister.

Xu Jiuyang never imagined that Chen Hao would be a carnivorous woman. Although they didn't sleep together often, she was always very proactive, regardless of whether it would trigger intense desires.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that even if the other person had some feelings for him, they were fleeting and not reliable.

But so what? Someone doesn't care much anymore. Besides, it's not like he hasn't encountered carnivorous women before. Not to mention the older women, Jin Qiaoqiao and Chen Zihan are both the type to fight over food, to the point that even Jiang Qinqin is showing this tendency.

Putting that aside, the plot to be filmed in Xinchang is complicated and chaotic. Today, they might be filming scenes at Shaolin Temple with Group A, and tomorrow they might be filming scenes at Xingzilin with Group B.

Filming continued intermittently until late October, when Yang Mi rejoined the crew for additional, sporadic shots.

She went straight to Xu Jiuyang as soon as she arrived, holding the documents she had received, and asked, "Is this real? Is this real?!"

After a series of integrations, "MU Online" launched its closed beta test in early September. Because the CEO they hired did a good job in promoting it, the data looked quite good, and the open beta test began at the end of September.

Xu Jiuyang thought to himself, since Aurogon Technology usually issues reports once a quarter, he might as well do it this way: send Da Mimi the data from the past month or so after the National Day holiday.

Clearly, Yang Mi was provoked. Even though he had Teacher Bai send it via email, she still printed it out and specifically asked him about it when she returned to the set for reshoots.

"Of course it's true, don't worry, you won't lose money on your investment," Xu Jiuyang reassured him, then lowered his voice: "You'd better be careful, this is a film crew, you don't want everyone to know and your mother to find out in the end, do you?"

"I understand..." Da Mimi stuck out her tongue, but there was still some excitement between her brows, as if she wanted to ask something.

"Is this really necessary? We haven't even started charging yet. When it comes time to distribute the profits at the end of the year, you'll be jumping up and smashing a hole in the ceiling, won't you?" Xu Jiuyang said deliberately in a disdainful tone, completely forgetting the surprise he felt a few months ago when he received his first profit share of the year from "Legend".

"If it could give me financial freedom, I wouldn't mind hitting a hole, let alone one, I could hit ten or eight!" Yang Mi said very seriously.

Xu Jiuyang frowned slightly. It hadn't been that long since they last met, and the young girl seemed to have developed a money-grubbing attitude. She wasn't like this before.

However, he didn't say much, but changed the subject by asking, "Are you still planning to start your own film and television company?"

"Of course, but I have a better plan, but it will have to wait until the end of the year." Da Mimi rubbed her hands together, seemingly very confident.

"Then I wish you success in advance." Xu Jiuyang shrugged and handed the printed document back to her, but unexpectedly a drawing fell out of it.
