The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 450 still had some impact.

After teasing her a bit, Da Mimi quickly gave her answer: "It's actually very simple. I just asked her: 'Mom, you don't want others to know that the daughter of a top tutor is a shareholder in a game company, right?'"

Xu Jiuyang narrowed his eyes. How come they all seem to have studied in Japan?

“It seems your mother still cares a lot about her tutoring career,” he said.

"It's alright, I didn't expect her to be so successful." Yang Mi said in a nonchalant tone, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes.

This is really strange. Although I know it was you who suggested your mom get into tutoring, it's impossible that you helped her get to where she is now. Xu Jiuyang was very puzzled, but he simply asked, "So, what is the eldest sister planning to do next?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's about integrating existing resources to serve me personally," Yang Mi said energetically. "From now on, I'm going to be both the best actress and the best boss!"

"Aren't you going to serve me?" Liu Qianqian asked, leaning closer to her.

"Get lost! You have so many resources at home, why do you have to freeload off me?" Yang Mi pushed her face away in disgust.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so nice when you need something, but so mean when you don't?" Liu Qianqian put on an angry expression and even tried to pinch the other person's cheek.

Xu Jiuyang had no choice but to grab her and say, "Behave yourself, we're about to start filming."

"Okay, okay, I'll go take the picture right away." Liu Qianqian said unhappily, then made a face, and secretly gave Da Mimi a wink before calling over the maid in the distance to find a place to continue warming up.

"Remember to tell me if you have any thoughts. Even if I can't help, I can still give you some advice," Xu Jiuyang said to Yang Mi, and then went to make preparations.

The title "Boss Yang" stirred up some memories in his heart. In his previous life, Yang Mi had benefited a lot from this persona. If things went smoothly in this life, it wouldn't hurt to give her a hand. After all, this young version of Yang Mi was quite interesting.

As for Liu Qianqian, there's really no need to worry too much. Sister Xiaoli is an investor and should have a collaboration with Li Yunxin. Even if there are rumors within the production team, they won't be made public.

Xu Jiuyang thought that it was necessary to let Liu Qianqian experience some ostracism so that she would know the wickedness of the servants.

In this life, she currently appears to be only somewhat spoiled, and her academic performance is actually quite good. She doesn't yet resemble the completely self-centered and brainless person she was in her previous life. If she can maintain this, things will be alright.

Even if she were a fat fairy in her past life, she would still be someone many young actresses could only dream of. If she could calm down and enrich herself, it wouldn't be impossible for her to go further in the film and television industry.

After all, even if you lose your teeth, other things can still be changed.

In any case, discussing whether she makes a statement or not is a minor matter. As long as no one mentions it, it will soon pass and be replaced by other gossip, just like there's still Guan Ergou even if Lu Taro is gone, it won't affect anything.

This time, Xu Jiuyang was wrong. Lu Chuan's public apology still had some impact. For example, after Guo Xiaosi lost the case, he still honestly published an apology in the newspaper and did not let the court enforce it, nor did he wait more than ten years.

Of course, that's all in the future; right now...

"We must thank Mr. Albert this time. If you hadn't notified us in advance, we might have suffered significant losses." In a private room of a private restaurant, Da Wang held the hand of a white man who looked to be around forty years old and said very sincerely.

“Don’t worry about it, Mr. Wang,” Albert said with a smile. “We’re allies, aren’t we?”

“Of course, of course,” the king said with a smile. “Huayi’s development is largely thanks to Mr. Albert’s help.”

Xiao Wang chimed in from the side, "Yeah, yeah, thanks to Mr. Albert, we even made a little money this time." "What are you saying?" Da Wang glared at him this time.

“It’s alright,” Albert waved his hand. “We’re all family here, so it’s okay to talk about these things.”

Then his expression turned serious: "But outside, Mr. Wang must keep his mouth shut tight."

"Don't worry, I'm always tight-lipped," Xiao Wang immediately replied.

The three of them immediately exchanged ideas again, and when they were almost done, Albert asked, "That director Chen's movie should have finished filming by now. I saw a report that there were protests in Yunnan Province against the film crew for damaging the environment?"

"Oh dear, that's an exaggeration. The film crew was in the area, setting up cameras and lighting, which definitely had some impact on the environment, but it was definitely not as big as the newspapers said," the King explained with a smile. "Mr. Albert is a master of operations, of course he knows that these things are better described as more serious."

“I understand. Everything regarding the release will be on par with ‘Hero’,” Albert nodded. “Of course, it’s fine if Director Chen wants to outdo Director Zhang. After all, the performance-based agreement has some leeway, as long as his film… ‘The Promise’…”

"Yes, Wuji." The king nodded.

“To be honest, I think my Chinese is good enough, but I still don’t understand the meaning of this movie title,” Albert complained, but quickly added, “Of course, as long as Director Chen is confident enough and the movie is of good quality, these are minor issues.”

"Don't worry about that. Director Chen has already said that this is his best work." Da Wang laughed heartily.

Albert then raised his glass and clinked it against his: "Well then, wish us success."

After the guests and hosts had a pleasant time, Albert made another phone call after the driver took him back to his residence: "Boss, they trust me more now, they're really sticking to their guns."

Filming in Jiuzhaigou didn't take too long; it mainly consisted of outdoor scenes, including the part where Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu lived a peaceful life after emerging from the pool and practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, as well as the earlier scene of Huo Du paying homage to the mountain.

As for the interior scenes of the Ancient Tomb Sect and Chongyang Palace, as well as the storylines involving Ouyang Feng, Zhen Zhibing, and Zhao Zhijing, they could only be filmed in the studio.

After all, although the scenery here is nice, it's too expensive, and the environment isn't great either, so it's better to finish taking pictures as soon as possible and leave.

Anyway, the shots mentioned above are either interior shots, medium shots, or close-ups. If montage is used effectively, the audience won't be able to tell the difference.

However, Xu Jiuyang was not very optimistic about the filming quality in Jiuzhaigou. Due to environmental limitations, many equipment had to be compromised, the most typical example being the lighting.

Each of these is a large item, and we have to handle them with care. If they get bumped or damaged and become unusable, our whole day might be ruined.

Unlike some wealthy individuals who can get the local government to make an exception and let the equipment in, even if it damages the environment, Zhang Jizhong has no choice but to make do.

It's alright during the day, but at night I have to rack my brains, like making the lights brighter or something.

Not only did Xu Jiuyang feel there was a problem, but even Liu Qianqian secretly asked him, "This way of filming just doesn't feel right."

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do unless he paid more, so Xu Jiuyang could only comfort her by saying, "It'll be fine once we get there."

In my memory, the death lighting in Jin Yong dramas with big beards in my previous life, although there were signs as early as "The Return of the Condor Heroes", only reached its peak in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

It's estimated that they couldn't attract any more investment at that time, so they tried to save as much money as possible and used the same emergency measures they had when producing "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
