The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 431 Interview
Once he was sure the other end of the phone had hung up, Xu Jiuyang let out a long sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

Although I don't know what Da Tiantian is thinking, I can feel her desire to understand me better, even over the phone.

So he chose to stall.

As of now, Xu Jiuyang still hasn't figured out what Da Tiantian's background is.

This is really not his fault, because without realizing it, every aspect of his life has been taken over by a group of girls.

It's not that we can't bypass them to do things, but the efficiency is worlds apart. If we call Angela right now and ask her to help check Da Tian Tian's background, we can get the general situation by tomorrow at the latest.

But you have to look it up yourself... Let's talk about the first method instead.

But he couldn't do that, because if he really told them, what would be sent tomorrow wouldn't just be Da Tian Tian's information, but also Da Tian Tian herself, who would be packaged up.

Although this is somewhat exaggerated, they really could do it, unless Da Tian Tian's background is official and exceptionally high-ranking—which is impossible no matter how you look at it. Judging from her trajectory in her previous life, if her background were truly official, then her parents' generation would clearly have had an upward trajectory.

In short, Xu Jiuyang doesn't want to cause too much trouble right now, especially since Da Tiantian is still a young girl.

Although they were about the same age, from his perspective, she really hadn't grown up yet.

I also want to win the Best Actress award at Cannes!
Listen to what she's saying, and she says it with such confidence. If I weren't reborn, I probably would have been really impressed by her ambition.

Therefore, it's better to have less contact now. From this perspective, it's quite good that Zhang Yan, who was instructed by him, hasn't told Fan Bingbing about Da Tian Tian yet.

Of course, it's also possible that she did say it, but Fan Bingbing didn't take it seriously. However, there's no evidence, so we shouldn't speculate.

As for the date I agreed to... I'll talk about it later. Anyway, it's not a good time to go out right now, so I'll postpone it as long as possible.

He let out another long sigh of relief; his subordinates had finally cleaned up the mess, which made him feel much better.

"So, Mr. Xu, can you grant my interview request?" Yang Lan, having wiped her lips, looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"I'll consider it," Xu Jiuyang said, feigning nonchalance.

Yang Lan looked surprised, then hurriedly said, "But we just now..."

“I just said I would consider it, Ms. Yang,” Xu Jiuyang said again, in a reminding tone.

Yang Lan's expression turned somewhat awkward, but she managed a forced smile: "So, Mr. Xu, what else do you need me to do to get an interview?"

This acting is truly superb; it's on par with professional actors.

"Don't rush me, I already said I'd consider it," Xu Jiuyang continued to play the villain. "As long as you keep up this pace, I'll make a decision soon."

"Your actions put me in a very...difficult position, Mr. Xu." Yang Lan changed to a courageous expression.

“It’s difficult,” Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow and reached out to pinch her chin. “If it’s difficult, then don’t do it.”

Yang Lan didn't speak, but tears welled up in her eyes, making one have to praise her acting skills once again.

“Alright,” Xu Jiuyang released his hand again. “Since Madam Wu is so sincere, let’s do a rehearsal tonight. Go back and think carefully about the interview topics.”

Relieved, Yang Lan immediately softened her posture: "I understand, Mr. Xu, I will study it carefully." She was about to leave when she heard Xu Jiuyang snort heavily again. She froze for two seconds, a hint of humiliation flashing across her face, but she quickly became meek and submissive, and finally crawled down and out of there.

Once everyone else was gone, Xu Jiuyang whistled again, appearing quite satisfied.

He had absolutely no concept of "whether he went too far." A woman like Yang Lan, who had worked in the system, studied abroad, and married a swindler, simply didn't care about having any shame.

Besides, she's no longer a little girl; she's already on Angela's side and has been molded and manipulated. Xu Jiuyang really doesn't need to be polite or feel guilty.

In fact, she is quite obedient, has a very graceful figure, and her acting skills are on par with Dong Qing.

As mentioned before, he quite liked the contrast in Dong Qing's personality, and Yang Lan is no less impressive now. Her performance just now was so convincing, her virtuous and gentle demeanor was almost overflowing. Xu Jiuyang almost wanted to deliver a classic line: "Madam, don't you want to work either..."

"I guess I ate too well. I wasn't this indulgent before," Xu Jiuyang muttered.

On the night before leaving Cannes, Angela gave him a real surprise. Although he had imagined such a thing for a long time, Xu Jiuyang never thought it would actually happen.

They each have their own pride, and they are rivals in many ways. Even if they could cooperate, they would not cooperate on this kind of matter.

Who knew that Angela would come to trick and ambush them? Fan Bingbing was useless; she was easily taken down by her, so she couldn't refuse anymore.

As Xu Jiuyang reminisced, a smile appeared on his lips, but he quickly composed himself.

But when he thought of how they collapsed in the end, he couldn't help but sigh, "You have really caused me so much suffering."

Indeed, 1 plus 1 is greater than 2.

As for whether we can do it in the future... cough cough, let's think about the interview topic tonight. With such a professional female host in front of us, this interview should be able to be quite predictable. For example, we could interview him about why he is so amazing.
Of course, there will be formal interviews, but that will have to wait a while, until the news of his Cannes win has spread and developed further, especially the fact that he is the youngest Cannes Best Actor winner, which still needs to be confirmed.

Yuya Yagira might have gotten a good deal in his past life, partly because he was too young. Tarantino, that guy, sometimes just likes to do things unpredictably.

As a result, the age for the Cannes Best Actor award was raised to 14, which is almost impossible for anyone to surpass, and the previous youngest Cannes Best Actor is now unknown.

So whether the person who won the Cannes Best Actor award at the age of 22 is the youngest Cannes Best Actor is something that needs to be verified.

After all, the French wouldn't deliberately preserve such data, and the awards have changed over the decades, making it difficult to keep track of them. Xu Jiuyang doesn't have a clear advantage like Yuya Yagira, so they can only rummage through old documents.

However, this didn't take much time. After Xu Jiuyang asked, Angela had someone contact the French side and indicated that it would be no later than mid-June.

So? So Yang Lan is now approaching us under the guise of producing an interview, but it's mostly just to freeload off us.

If you want to come and eat ginseng fruit directly, you have to take a number and it depends on someone's mood. But if it's for the purpose of preparing for the interview, Xu Jiuyang is willing to talk, and that's how she got him.

Although Yang Lan's Sunshine Media didn't grow as big as someone's previous life, it still developed well with Angela's support. Coupled with her status as a widow and the buff of inheriting her late husband's will, her interviews still became a brand.

Although Xu Jiuyang didn't want to be in the public eye too much, as an actor, he still had to accept some interviews. In addition, this was Angela's request, so he decided to go on Yang Lan's interview program.

Of course, he also admitted that Yang Lan's excellent hosting skills were one of the reasons, especially when she was holding the microphone.
