The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 320 Face-to-Face Communication

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Before he could even speak after closing the door, the two female demons dropped their backpacks and pounced on him from either side, as if they hadn't eaten Tang Sanzang's flesh in ages. Xu Jiuyang had to quickly stop them.

Despite Shuangli's eager appearance, she obediently stopped, though she looked at him with some nervousness.

Xu Jiuyang sighed inwardly: "I know it must have been tiring for you to come all the way from Group B, but there's no need to be in such a... such a hurry."

Yes, in the Tianlong series, Guo Feili played Li Qiushui, while Chen Xiuli played Meng Gu.

These two characters have virtually no screen time with Duan Yu. Even the part about the Western Xia marriage proposal could have been filmed separately. So after they joined the crew, they were filming Xu Zhu's storyline with the B crew.

That's why Xu Jiuyang let them in after he saw them; otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have anywhere to sleep tonight.

He never expected them to be so lustful... He never imagined that one day he would use those two words to describe women.

Upon hearing Xu Jiuyang's words, Guo Feili and Chen Xiuli both burst out laughing, then both revealed resentful expressions.

"There's nothing we can do. We don't have any special characteristics, so we have no advantage if we try to compete with so many women."

"Yes, yes, especially since we're not even in the same group this time."

They chatted amongst themselves, clinging to his arm and refusing to let go, even putting on pitiful expressions in a coordinated manner.

Xu Jiuyang had to take a deep breath: "Did you bring uniforms?"

"I brought it," Guo Feili nodded, though she looked a little embarrassed. "But... only the office lady set is available; the white peony one needs to be custom-made..."

"Do you have glasses?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, yes, I brought some," Chen Xiuli nodded in agreement.

"Alright," Xu Jiuyang said without adding anything more, "This is a one-time exception, or I'll tell Angela."

The two women shrank back slightly: "Understood, boss."

Of course, he knew very well that their nervousness was feigned; their initiative was partly due to their desire, but partly due to Angela's orders.

After all, the Chinese in Singapore never consider themselves Chinese. While the Chinese in Malaysia maintain their traditions, the feudal atmosphere is not much less than that in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

But that's none of his business. Since Sister Yuanyuan has already stirred up his thoughts, he might as well take this opportunity to vent.

There's no need to elaborate on the matter of someone arranging Shuangli in various shapes on the bed; she was still radiant the next day anyway.

As for the surprises that followed, it didn't matter; it was all expected. The actresses had offered themselves to us so many times, so it was only natural that some would come from other groups to deliver them.

However, there were also unexpected situations. For example, Chen Hao, who was supposed to be filming Qiao Feng's storyline in Group C today, not only looked at him with resentment all day, but also came to his door in the evening and even called Yang Xue over from Group C.

Xu Jiuyang was speechless. You two are just playing A Zhu and A Zi in the drama, not real sisters, so why do you always act together?

In short, faced with this situation, he had no choice but to grant their wish.

Then, once this door was opened, others began to covet him, flirting with him on set every day, and becoming increasingly blatant in their advances, which was a real headache.

It really does take having a true confidant as an assistant.

Fortunately, this situation didn't last long. After a month, Xu Jiuyang's scenes were basically finished, so he secretly left.

They dared not organize any farewell activities. Although they generally wouldn't do anything reckless, and even if they didn't like each other, they wouldn't express it in front of him, how could they dare to gamble on something like this?
If something goes wrong, it would be incredibly awkward, especially since they all see themselves as easy prey and won't give up any opportunity to get a piece of the action. Sometimes, I really want to take a big swipe of my hands and beat them all up with a stick.

Putting that aside, Xu Jiuyang returned to his rented villa, rested for a few days, and then arranged to meet Da Meiyuan at the coffee shop they had arranged to meet before.

"Sister Yuanyuan seems to really love this place." He chuckled, looking at the familiar surroundings.

“Yes, after all, it won’t be possible to meet you here next year,” Gao Yuanyuan chuckled.

"Not necessarily, maybe I won't become popular?" Xu Jiuyang shrugged.

However, considering that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" won't air until February next year, and that I've been busy in the entertainment industry for over a year but haven't even produced a single work, it's no wonder my mom asked me on the phone if I was really an actor.

Oh, he already has half a work, the movie "The Dark Side" which has already been released, and his name is clearly listed as the screenwriter.

Unfortunately, not many people paid attention. The most discussed topics and the most popular related topics online were either the allusions to the thriller plot, Xiao Yanzi's movie debut, or the wonderful performance of the artistic goddess Hao Lei.

Yes, Hao Lei now has the title of "literary goddess," which is clearly thanks to Angela's online supporters. Fan Bingbing once told him that when Angela cast her as the second female lead, it was to promote Hao Lei.

Of course, Hao Lei's performance in the film is still commendable, and with the addition of the Best Newcomer Award at Berlin, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her an art goddess.

However, the thought of the artistic goddess that netizens praise enjoying chicken sandwiches with such relish at my place is a little stimulating... cough cough, let's not talk about that.

“Maybe he won’t become a big star, but he’ll definitely gain some fame. Then we can come here to chat, and if a reporter sees us, or if the waiters here aren’t tight-lipped, then the news of the rising star dating a beautiful writer will spread like wildfire.” Gao Yuanyuan said leisurely, adjusting her glasses.

"I believe that Sister Yuanyuan wouldn't let this kind of gossip spread everywhere, right?" Xu Jiuyang blinked.

"Who knows?" Gao Yuanyuan blinked, adjusting her glasses.

Xu Jiuyang coughed lightly and changed the subject, asking, "What are we going to talk about today?"

"There are three things in total. Let's start with the simplest one?" Gao Yuanyuan smiled gently.

“Okay,” Xu Jiuyang nodded, “The first thing is?”

"I brought Guo Zhenni here, hoping you can personally guide her," Gao Yuanyuan said seriously.

"Do you need it?" Xu Jiuyang asked, somewhat surprised.

“The structures you mentioned in the email were very inspiring to her. Face-to-face communication can be more efficient,” Gao Yuanyuan explained. “Of course, you can refuse if you don’t want to.”

"Forget it, we're already here, there's no harm in meeting up." Xu Jiuyang sighed.

Gao Yuanyuan immediately took out her phone and made a call.

A moment later, the young woman pushed open the door to the coffee shop and came to stand in front of him and her.

"Hello, Ms. Xu, I am Guo Zhenni," she said with a slight bow.

"Hello, Guo, please have a seat," Xu Jiuyang nodded, then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

His intuition told him that the girl in front of him was probably not much different from the one in his previous life.

Especially her distinctive nose, although it somewhat disrupts the structure of her facial features, making it difficult for her to look good in still photos, her eyes do have a natural watery quality, giving her a subtle and alluring charm, making her very captivating in motion, especially when she is in profile or half-profile.
