The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 344 The Tool Director

To reiterate, Xu Jiuyang can't possibly have only one assistant. Whether he finds one himself or Fan Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan help him, as long as he has a permanent assistant, everyone will try to place their own people in his entourage.

Since that's the case, let Fan Bingbing arrange an assistant if he wants, as long as it doesn't affect him. Anyway, he can't control that much right now.

Then, Zhang Junning, who was acting as a temporary assistant, came over and said, "Boss, Director Zhang said we need to prepare to shoot the first scene."

"I'm coming." Xu Jiuyang nodded, then said to Fan Bingbing, "Okay, I agree, cheer up."

"I'm happy, I'm very happy." Fan Bingbing said weakly.

Xu Jiuyang looked around, then leaned over and quickly kissed her on the corner of her mouth, right in front of Zhang Junning.

Fan Bingbing was stunned for several seconds, and even subconsciously smiled before she realized what was happening and slapped her forehead.

It's a vicious cycle. Every time I feel frustrated, I find reasons to comfort the other person, and my mood improves after they show some kindness. Then, for various reasons, I become frustrated again.

"It's alright, it's alright. You are the undisputed leader in the company. Whether it's Yin Tao, Yang Xue, or Wan Qian, they are all obedient under your command. You can chat and laugh with many leaders, and even have them fawn over you. Your status is rising day by day, and your assets are increasing day by day, and the sources are all reasonable and compliant." Little Fan comforted herself in this way.

Indeed, she made quite a splash when she returned to Qingdao. Taking advantage of the visit of her boss to her family's catering company, she deliberately inquired about investment promotion and then said that she could connect Samsung with them to invest and build a factory.

Fan Bingbing clearly remembers the surprised and delighted expressions on the leaders' faces when she took out the photo with Li Yunxin.

In short, she is now thriving in every aspect, with good news coming from all fronts, except for Xu Jiuyang.

I was first! Fan Bingbing really wanted to bite her handkerchief. She clearly met him first at Beihai Park, and then again in Jiuzhaigou, so why did Gao Yuanyuan beat her to it?!
She tried her best to convince herself that it wasn't a big deal, but she was still very upset!

This has nothing to do with the surge in the stock prices of Sina, NetEase, and Sohu on Nasdaq, nor with the steady development of game companies and investment companies; it's simply because she's not convinced!

Especially since this was clearly targeting her, Li Yunxin certainly wanted to compete for first place, but the objective conditions did not allow it, and Angela had no interest at all, which made her particularly resentful.

"Alright, stop being childish. You need to know what you're doing," Fan Bingbing said to herself after taking a deep breath, having regained her composure.

In any case, I lost the initiative this time, so I can only accept it. There's nothing to say about it. I can only swallow my anger and then... find a way to get back at them elsewhere.

Although she had only been in a formal relationship with this scoundrel for two years, it felt like an eternity, long enough that he had tamed her to the point where she could calmly wait while still angry.

"It's okay, I'll go first as assistant this time." Fan Bingbing continued to take deep breaths.

She started making preparations the moment Zhang Junning was thrust into that scoundrel's arms—in fact, the plan to provide him with an assistant had been in place even earlier, but at the time she thought she could take it slow, never expecting Angela to find a loophole.

Therefore, Fan Bingbing not only quickly took the target into her possession, but also disciplined him repeatedly. She even learned about foreign methods through Li Yunxin and Angela, and tried to create a clone by repeatedly using the simulation system and relying on her own skills.

Well, you can't completely call her a clone. She only looks about 80% like me, but she has learned all the seductive charm in her bones under my personal guidance.

As for personality, forced relationships are never sweet. She deliberately guided her clone's personality to a considerable extent, based on the simulated information, thinking that the scoundrel would like it, and perhaps even...

"Wait, why am I thinking about this?" Little Fan shuddered, quickly shook his head, and banished those inexplicable thoughts from his mind.

Filming had already officially begun on set, so she focused her attention and decided to take advantage of her current free time to observe how the director worked. Of course, Fan Bingbing knew that trying to do too much at once was counterproductive, and she had already revised her future goals, but until then, trying new things was never a bad thing.

If possible, she would be willing to insert a non-professional female director who could temporarily switch careers and still produce good works into her roles as a big star who won the Cannes Best Actress award and a female president of a media group.

From the outside perspective, the cast of "Falling" is very average. Apart from the female lead being Xiao Yanzi, the rest of the cast is not impressive.

Not only were there no Hong Kong or Taiwanese actors, but the director was also a novice, and a woman at that.

As for the male lead Xu Jiuyang, he has only recently gained some fame thanks to Yang Kang. People will only think that he is lucky, and will not think that he has much appeal.

As for the supporting actor Deng Chao, his first leading role in a TV series finally aired at the beginning of this year, but the response was lukewarm. His breakthrough role in "Young Emperor" will not be available until the second half of this year.

The father of the male supporting character is played by Fat Di, and Leung is very suitable for the role of the male supporting character's father in terms of both physique and acting skills.

However, the mother of the male supporting character is a bit strange, as she is Yu Xiaohui, who is Ye Erniang in this timeline of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

Xu Jiuyang asked Fan Bingbing, who was also the producer, about this. Her answer was simple: "Several actresses wanted to compete for this role, and in the end, the competition got a bit too intense, so she got the part."

Well, he could basically guess which actresses were vying for the role, and could even picture the competition in his mind.

However, Yu Xiaohui is still capable of playing this role. She performed quite well when filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". As long as the director is aware of her abilities, it will be fine.

As for whether the director was aware of it, Xu Jiuyang didn't know, but he knew she was quite insightful, both in her personal life and in her personal life.

Yes, he had already witnessed it less than a week after filming began, under the guidance of Li Xue and Li Xiu.

Zhang Jing did not refuse at all; in fact, she seemed very eager, and then became even more eager afterward.

So... the big studio system is still useful. Putting everything else aside, the storyboard is quite detailed. As long as she follows the markings meticulously, she can always get a passable film.

What's more, it's quite amazing that her basic directing skills are actually pretty good.

Based on the information she received in her previous life, Zhang Jing entered the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama mainly as a roundabout way to become an actress, so one can imagine what her attitude towards her studies was.

However, on the other hand, she ended up in Angela's hands and was even assigned the role of director, so she had no choice but to take it even if she didn't want to.

Actually, this isn't so bad. At least I won't be blacklisted by the directors' wives anymore and forced to work in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

As for her acting skills, is it a pity? No matter what happens in the future, we won't miss her. If a healthy film studio system is established, it will naturally cultivate actors with good acting skills. If it can't, it will just be like someone's situation in their past life.

So, she should just stick to being a tool director; that might be more suitable for her.

But after starting this, Xu Jiuyang suddenly thought, what if we picked a few female stars who would become famous in the future and had some potential, and trained them to become directors?
