The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 484 Then what am I?
As time went by and June arrived, the hype surrounding Fan Bingbing winning the Cannes Best Actress award finally subsided, as her fans had won a resounding victory in their battle against Zhang Ziyi's fans.

After the turn of the millennium, Fan Xiaoyanzi's fame basically surpassed that of all other female stars in mainland China, except for Zhang Ziyi, who had participated in major foreign productions.

Especially after the release of "Rush Hour" in 01, although Zhang Ziyi's popularity was only average, her status became increasingly high.

Although she suffered many setbacks afterward, with films like "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" being cancelled and "2046" unable to be released due to a fire, she was still the leading lady in an international blockbuster, and her prestige was still barely below that of Gong Li.

As her fans would say, "Our sister may not have many works, but every single one of her collaborators is a top-tier star."

This reached its peak after several of Fan Bingbing's films were released. They mocked her for playing a supporting role to a newcomer in "The Dark Side" and for being a mere supporting actress in "Falling," not even worthy of carrying her own sister's shoes.

And then, naturally, everything has been returned to them. Fan Bingbing's fans have been holding their breath for a long time, and they will not stop until they beat their rival to a pulp.

The fighting style is extremely simple: no matter what the opponent says, the only thing to say is "Our Bingbing is the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress", which has a kind of "you've been beaten by a monkey" aesthetic.

This led to Zhang Niangniang's older brother jumping out and making outrageous statements to the media, saying that someone was systematically smearing his sister online.

"Has he been kicked in the head by a donkey?" Yang Mi, who was on the set of "Li Lei and Han Meimei," was greatly surprised when she saw such news.

"Has he ever been kicked in the head by a donkey? Didn't you figure that out?" Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes.
Yang Mi nodded with a sense of sympathy, but quickly shook her head: "Even so, seeing it in person still feels unbelievable. I can only say that Sister Bingbing is very broad-minded. If it were me, I would have made sure she stayed in the hospital for at least half a year."

"Honey, do you think she'd be grateful if we helped her get that person into the hospital?" Liu Qianqian asked excitedly, as if she had just thought of something.

However, Da Mimi just covered her forehead, her face showing an expression that said, "Oh no, she's starting to think again."

"I think she actually really wanted to do it, but if she did, we would say she was petty, so she had to keep it to herself," Liu Qianqian continued to ramble.

So Yang Mi had no choice but to awkwardly change the subject: "Why did you come up with the idea of ​​making the movie 'Li Lei and Han Meimei'?"

“I’ve simulated it many times. Future youth films are all about abortion or love triangles, and the reviews aren’t very good. I finally found a suitable one, which is this ‘Li Lei and Han Meimei,’ but it’s incredibly mediocre. So I thought, why not just write a completely new script with this name? Anyway, it’s just borrowing the fame of the character from the English textbook,” Liu Qianqian said.

"Did you think of that, or did Auntie think of that?" Da Mimi looked at her with considerable surprise.

"Of course it was my idea!" Liu Qianqian immediately objected. "What kind of look is that? It's like I can't be intelligent!"

"Okay, okay, you're very wise," Da Mimi said dismissively.

Liu Qianqian was still a little unhappy, and immediately clenched her fist: "Just wait and see, in a few days when we can check the college entrance examination results, I will definitely score over 600 points, and may even pass the admission line of Tsinghua and Peking Universities!"

"Dream on! No matter how many points you get, I'll still surpass you," Yang Mi scoffed contemptuously. "That's an unchangeable fact, Xian'er. Even if you look at the questions eight hundred times in advance, it won't change anything!"

"You've made me angry, Honey!" Liu Qianqian threatened, cracking her knuckles.

"You're not happy? Hit me then, hit me then!" Da Mimi patted her left cheek, then her right cheek.

Liu Qianqian narrowed her eyes, looking like she was about to explode, but the next second she cried out and clutched her head.

"What are you two doing, especially you, Qianqian? Hurry up and get ready!" Xu Jiuyang held a rolled-up stack of documents, his face serious and earnest, like a retired cadre.

Moreover, he left right after saying that, not giving Liu Qianqian a chance to retaliate, which made her so angry that she stomped her feet.

"If it weren't for... if it weren't for the fact that he at least needs to be there to watch over that skill, I wouldn't have called him over!" the girl said through gritted teeth, then turned to Yang Mi: "Say something, Mi'er!"

She froze after saying that, because Da Mimi was frowning and looking at her with some concern.

"What's wrong?" Liu Qianqian asked, puzzled.

“Xian’er…” Yang Mi sighed, “How about… we just let that matter go?” It took Liu Qianqian several seconds to realize which matter she was referring to, and she immediately glared at her: “We’ve already agreed on it, how can we just let it go!”

She leaned a little closer, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "You're not trying to exclude me, are you?"

Yang Mi was both amused and exasperated: "Sometimes I really want to open up your head and see what's going on inside!"

These words were spoken through gritted teeth.

"I'm worried about how to explain it to my aunt!" she snorted heavily.

However, Liu Qianqian didn't care: "What's there to explain? I'm about to become an adult. I should be responsible for my own affairs and choices."

After saying that, she comforted Yang Mi: "Okay, okay, we all know that hesitating and looking back is the worst thing to do, so don't worry about it."

After a pause, she added, "You said it yourself, we've fallen far behind. If we don't find a way, we'll only become their vassals in the long run."

Da Mimi stared at her for a long while: "Okay, this is the last time I'll advise you. Don't mess things up later."

"I won't. You might be the one who messes up later," Liu Qianqian said smugly.

Thinking of her usual inexplicably confident demeanor, Da Mimi could only sigh: "Anyway, you have to help me get my hands on the 'Wealth Flower' when the time comes."

"What flower of wealth and honor?" Liu Qianqian asked.

"Jing Tian, ​​she recently got in touch with him through Sister Bingbing, and she's been pestering him to write songs and produce a music album." Yang Mi said, not only making the name "Sister Bingbing" sound rather sarcastic, but also with a hint of resentment.

She originally wanted to release an album, but she always felt that it would be better to release it after she became famous, but she didn't expect Jing Tian to cut in line.

She hurriedly went to find Xu Jiuyang, but that bastard just patted her head and smiled without saying a word. It's true what they say, an uncle can tolerate it, but an aunt can't.

Yang Mi knows her voice isn't great, but it's not so bad that she can't sing, right? Those simulations are just rumors spread by haters!

Therefore, given that Fan Bingbing has once again taken the lead, she naturally wants to find a way to intercept Jing Tian and bring her into her fold, just like Zhao Liying did.

Unfortunately, Liu Qianqian completely failed to notice her emotional change: "What do you mean by 'rich and beautiful'? If she's a rich and beautiful woman, then what am I?"

Then Da Mimi took a deep breath: "Of course you're Xian'er!"

"Then wouldn't I be... oh dear!" Liu Qianqian exclaimed as she was pulled into her arms and roughly handled.

"You don't know what a 'wealthy flower' is, do you?"

"Oh dear, stop! Stop!"

"She's a flower of wealth and honor, and what are you, anyway?"

"No, no, I am nothing!"

"Trying to fool me, huh! You like to pretend, don't you!"

"No, no, I wasn't faking it! Help!"

Xu Jiuyang, who was inquiring about the situation of the film crew from a distance, shook his head as he watched the two girls laughing and joking, and continued to explain the precautions to the staff.
