The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 394 Good, very energetic
Unexpectedly, Feng Kuzi accurately grasped Xu Jiuyang's thoughts, not only describing Sha Gen's characteristics and the behaviors derived from these characteristics very well, but also outlining Wang Li's changing inner thoughts each time, which should have been the job of an actor.

Of course, no matter how good the script is, it still needs the actors to express it. If you're not careful, the character's most prominent feature can turn from honesty to hypocrisy due to affected mannerisms.

However, Xu Jiuyang didn't pay attention when he saw the cast list.

"That short guy acted quite well. Where did you find him?" Xu Jiuyang asked, pointing to Wang Baoqiang, who was resting in the distance.

"A friend recommended him. He acted in a low-budget movie. Although his acting was still a bit raw, it was quite good. He's also an honest person, so I signed with Mr. Wang's company." Feng Kuzi naturally told him everything he knew.

Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but wonder, would people who weren't interfered with simply follow their original paths?

To be honest, when Fan Bingbing bought the rights to "A World Without Thieves" and planned to make it into a movie, he had thought about suggesting that she sign Wang Baoqiang.

In this way, even if he leaves when his term expires, Xingyao will still have a top player.

However, upon closer inspection, it seems that all the companies under Red Boat, Golden Crow, and Bright Lamp are contracted with actresses, and even Xingyao is basically staffed with women except for itself.

Hmm, why am I feeling a little touched and proud?

In short, he didn't say it out loud, but unexpectedly Wang Baoqiang still joined the crew and signed with Huayi Brothers.

Therefore, I can only try to pay back the 100 yuan I owe them later.

For example... find a pretty girl outside the industry, send her for training, and then have her become his wife?

"Then, I'll leave the crew to Director Feng." After taking a stroll around, Xu Jiuyang saw that filming was about to resume.

"Don't worry, don't worry, after all, it's a key project personally overseen by... Director Lin Dewo." Feng Kuzi's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke.

Xu Jiuyang laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, President Fan has cooperated with Angela on many things, so there's no need to worry about it."

"That's good, that's good..." Feng Kuzi chuckled dryly.

Hmm, as always, very perceptive. Speaking of which, Huayi Brothers and the two big shots are doomed, but Feng Xiaogang can still stay.

After all, there are very few mainland directors who can make good commercial films right now, and even though Angela is training them, they can't be used immediately.

What's more, she's training female directors, and quite attractive ones at that. Who knows if they're really meant to direct, or... or something else entirely.

In short, even with a large-scale film studio system, it still requires directors with certain abilities to implement it.

As for Feng Kuzi, as long as you can keep him in check, he'll obediently become a working man.

Why did something like "The Banquet" exist in our past life? It's because in 05, Wang Jinhua and her team left Huayi Brothers, severely damaging the company. They had no choice but to try to win over Feng Xiaogang, so they started producing a film based on his ideas.

Of course, he wasn't someone who could handle this kind of subject matter, so after this production failed, he went back to making "Assembly".

As for what happened next, hot money began to flow into the entertainment industry, and IT capital took control of new media. What followed was the financialization of film production, which has been mentioned many times before. Films no longer relied on box office revenue for profit, and Feng Xiaogang naturally became less attentive to his work, resulting in a sharp decline in the quality of his films.

So he still has at least seven or eight years to exploit, so why not use it?

Putting that aside, after spending the night there and having a passionate night with Fan Bingbing, Xu Jiuyang returned to his film crew.

The film "A World Without Thieves" also built a train in the studio in Huairou, which is not far from the current set of "Chinese Paladin", making it very convenient to travel back and forth.

Logically, he could have stayed a couple more days, but considering that Angela was coming, it was better to leave first.

It's very simple. During this period, wherever she was, the golden retriever was there too, under the guise of an internship.

However, he must have gotten addicted to ginseng fruit, because whenever he sees him, he runs over and wags his tail.

As for Xu Jiuyang, the other party was indeed plump and delicious, and not greasy at all, but he couldn't keep eating the same thing, especially since he had other things to do.

Meanwhile, on the set of "Chinese Paladin," during the two days someone was away, they had already finished filming the minor scenes. As soon as he returned, they started filming the most exciting scene—Zhao Ling'er's bath. "Don't peek, or else..." Liu Qianqian made a gouging-eyes gesture, looking both cute and fierce.

"I wish I could, but I don't have the chance. This scene was shot separately, and we'll use montage to cut it together later," Xu Jiuyang said irritably.

"So you admit you want to?" Liu Qianqian immediately pointed at her triumphantly and said, "Pervert!"

"Really? If you're so capable, go outside right now and say those two words in front of everyone." Xu Jiuyang pointed to the film set over there. "Oh, you don't need to go outside. The rest area is open. Just speak louder."

"If you tell me to call you that, I'll just call you that. Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Liu Qianqian shrank her neck and started arguing unreasonably.

Xu Jiuyang shook his head, turned to Yang Mi who was sitting next to him flipping through documents, and said in a sympathetic tone, "Tutoring this little idiot must be very tiring, right?"

Before Yang Mi could speak, Liu Qianqian jumped in front of her and said, "Don't try to sow discord between us."

"Do I need to sow discord?" Xu Jiuyang clicked his tongue. "Qianqian, tell me yourself, how long has Mimi been on set?"

“That’s…that’s for a reason.” Liu Qianqian stubbornly argued, then Yang Mi poked her head out from behind her: “Alright, Lao Yang, I’m not staying on set just to tutor her.”

"Since the big sister says so, I'll give her face," Xu Jiuyang laughed and flicked Liu Qianqian's head. "Good luck, Qianqian."

After he left, Liu Qianqian stuck out her tongue slightly at his disappearing figure: "You always bully me!"

"I think if you don't tease him, will he punish you?" Yang Mi shook her head at her childish behavior.

"No way?" Liu Qianqian turned her head and asked.

"can you?"

"No way?"

"can you?"

"No way?"

"can you?"

The two girls stared at each other like fighting cocks in the rest area. Finally, Yang Mi rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward aggressively to teach Liu Qianqian a lesson, while Liu Qianqian jumped back in a panic.

"You should have been the one to take the joke..."

"Don't you dare lay a hand on me, I'm in my costume..."

"Oh dear, I'll tell you, I'll talk to you. Let's discuss this..."

Nevertheless, when she came out, Liu Qianqian was not disheveled. Her makeup and clothes were all fine, except that her face was a little red and she looked angry.

Yang Mi, who was right behind her, was wiggling her fingers and seemed to be humming a little tune silently, looking quite pleased with herself.

"I'll get my revenge sooner or later!" Liu Qianqian glanced at Yang Mi, speaking resentfully but in a low voice.

"What are you saying?" Yang Mi immediately looked over with a smile.

"I said, I'll get my revenge sooner or later!" Liu Qianqian said loudly, showing no sign of backing down.

The noise was so loud that even the busy staff around couldn't help but look in their direction.

Liu Qianqian's face was a little red, but she still straightened her neck and put on a proud look.

"Good, very energetic." As Yang Mi said this, she deliberately squeezed her cheeks and mimicked the origin of the joke, revealing a meaningful and mischievous smile, which made Liu Qianqian, who also knew the joke through simulation, shudder.
