The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 380 Prepare in advance
When Inee emerged from the cubicle, she looked quite disheveled. Her long golden hair was disheveled, and her undergarments were crumpled like pickled vegetables, revealing parts that should be exposed and parts that shouldn't be exposed.

Her face flushed and she looked completely dazed. It took her several seconds to come to her senses. She immediately stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Sorry, you guys continue. I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, she wiggled her hips and went to the bathroom. She had walked the runway for a while, so her hip movements were quite captivating.

But Angela didn't even look at her. As soon as Angela came out, Annie swiftly withdrew her hand and her expression turned cold.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Annie said in a businesslike tone only after the sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Angela wanted to say that she had only given Ini a beating before, and Ini had triggered the sharing of the second skill on her own; there was no need for overly intimate behavior.

She also wanted to say that Inee was just a toy, used not only to expand her network but also to lay a trap for the future, a trap whose effectiveness was uncertain.

She even wanted to say that she was controlled by the devil and had no choice but to go along with him, and now she was getting deeper and deeper into it.

But when the words reached his lips, they came out as: "Take care and get some rest."

Anne nodded and left the suite without hesitation.

After the door closed, Angela leaned back in her chair and let out a long, helpless sigh.

She has used her charm on almost everyone around her, since it's so effective, but Annie is an exception, because she is her emotional anchor.

Angela did take some of what someone said to heart. The greater the power she possessed, the stronger her desire to squander it became, especially since most of them were at her mercy and at her beck and call.

Anne Hathaway was the first woman she brought into her life and the first woman she became close to. Although she used some tactics, she didn't have as many skills back then as she does now. She simply catered to her preferences and made the other woman follow her wishes.

She devoted the most energy to her, so her place in her heart was inevitably different; however… once emotions become too mixed…

"Let's try to coax her again sometime..." Angela rubbed her forehead again. After all, she couldn't possibly use that devil's advocate as her anchor, could she?

Thinking of this, she looked at the bathroom where the sound of running water had stopped and sneered inwardly.

I'm in a bad mood, and I hope this future princess can do a good job cosplaying these next few days. After all, you don't want your father to have a wild idea because of the butterfly effect in the future, do you?
Unaware of all this, Xu Jiuyang put everything behind him after returning home, only occasionally reminiscing about the future princess's voluptuous figure, wild style, and outstanding cosplay skills.

This is the advantage of having many women. They come in all shapes and sizes, from slender to plump, and you've tasted them all. Even if the other woman has many advantages, she can only make someone slightly nostalgic.

The most important thing right now is to wait until July to take the costume photos for "Chinese Paladin".

To be honest, Sister Xiaoli really put a lot of effort into this TV series. The character design images she sent are completely based on the game, and she even made a lot of optimizations. I think it will amaze many game players.

However, it's not without its problems. You can play a game with one outfit and complete it, but you can't play a TV series with the same outfit the whole time. So, how to design other styles of clothing that also suit the temperament of the male and female leads is something that needs careful consideration.

At least, after Xu Jiuyang received the costume designs that weren't based on the game's character designs, he felt they weren't very good.

"I think it's alright, it looks... like the style of the game." After playing in front of the computer for a while and comparing it with the design draft, Zhang Yan said this after pressing the pause button, then looked at Liu Tao and then at Dong Qing.

"In my opinion, the costume's decorations are too ornate. The overall style is fine, but the patterns on the edges might not fit the character's description. That's probably why the boss didn't think it was good," Liu Tao said.

Xu Jiuyang pondered for a moment, then looked at Dong Qing: "Qingqing, what do you think? Don't say anything about the boss making the decision." "Okay, boss," Dong Qing maintained her dignified demeanor as always, "I think it would be better to wait until the clothes are finished, and then have the boss try them on before making a decision. Anyway, it's not like we're short a few dollars."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tao glanced at her immediately but remained silent.

“That makes sense,” Xu Jiuyang said, pretending not to see it. “I’ll tell my sister directly.”

Everyone here is a trusted confidant. Sister Xiaoli has also worked with Sister Yuanyuan and Student Fan, so he no longer hides anything in terms of how he addresses them.

Then, he looked at Zhang Yan and said, "After I finish reading the script, you can come and rehearse with me."

"Huh...huh? Huh!" Zhang Yan opened her eyes wide but looked completely bewildered.

"What's with the 'hey'? You just need to read the script, you don't need to act." Xu Jiuyang patted her head.

"Why...why is this happening?" Zhang Yan asked, bewildered.

"Of course, it's to prepare for the filming of the TV series," Liu Tao replied, her tone carrying a hint of reproach and her expression seemingly mocking.

Zhang Yan visibly gritted her teeth, but didn't say anything more, only looking at Xu Jiuyang.

"I need to prepare myself properly for the role of Li Xiaoyao." Xu Jiuyang had a slight headache.

There's no way around it; this happens when there are too many factions around you, especially since Liu Tao has advantages that Zhang Yan doesn't.

Why can't they be as considerate as Dong Qing? Well, if they all became like Dong Qing, I'd probably feel like we're all the same.

So as long as they don't escalate to openly attacking each other, but only secretly gain verbal advantage, he can pretend he didn't see anything.

After all, there are still many things that require time and effort, such as what he needs to do now. If he wants to play Li Xiaoyao well, he has to put in a lot of hard work.

Although "Chinese Paladin" is an idol drama, and acting skills only need to be passable, the problem is that he looks only in his early 20s on the surface, but he is almost 50 on the inside. Although his strong hormones have made him feel younger, it is impossible to completely return to the state of a teenager. It is not an easy thing to portray that kind of unique liveliness and spirit.

Although Yang Kang, Zhang Wuji, and Duan Yu were all young men, their characters in Jin Yong's dramas were already largely defined by established stereotypes.

Yang Kang was greedy for wealth and status, Zhang Wuji was indecisive, and Duan Yu, needless to say, was a typical sycophant.

As long as you grasp these few qualities and add some special features, such as Zhou Jie's temperamental attitude when he played Yang Kang in his previous life, that will be enough to get the job done.

Television dramas, in terms of both filming methods and audience expectations, are ultimately different from movies.

But Li Xiaoyao is different. At least in the early stages, he was a spirited and dashing young swordsman. He only matured after Lin Yueru was half-dead.

To portray the maturity that comes later in life, Xu Jiuyang is naturally a piece of cake, but to convincingly portray the liveliness and energy of the early stages requires careful consideration. Otherwise, the kind of harsh criticism Huang Jiao received when playing Yang Guo in his previous life might very well be playing out in his own life.

So he specially bought a better camera and had Zhang Yan, a young girl, act opposite him in order to repeatedly find the right sense of youth.
