The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 493 He's already mastered it?

The widely circulated rumor of "Fan Bayi" did indeed buy the crew of "Li Lei and Han Meimei" some time. When filming at the school, students were almost always discussing how Xiao Yanzi earned so much money.

Although some people came to ask Liu Qianqian for autographs, and some people saw "Duan Yu" on set, it didn't spread much. In addition, Xu Jiuyang deliberately concealed his face and covered it up most of the time on set, which allowed the filming to wrap up smoothly without any trouble.

However, this gossip still caused him some trouble. For example, his mother called, ostensibly to inquire about his recent situation, but her words were all probing for the truth behind Fan Bingbing's $1 million fortune.

Xu Jiuyang almost couldn't hold back: By the end of next year, your son will also have a net worth of 1 million US dollars.

So he ended up saying, "Mom, Yunxin is worth over a billion dollars."

I was thinking that I might bring back a foreign woman with a net worth of several billion dollars on New Year's Eve this year, but considering that Angela hasn't made any moves yet, and my mother was silent for a long time after I finished speaking, it's better to keep my mouth shut.

Furthermore, Liu Qianqian seemed very unhappy. Whenever Fan Bingbing was mentioned, even before the 8 million was mentioned, she would roll her eyes and say, "What's so great about that?"

"She's just jealous." Yang Mi said this to someone in private when she visited the set.

Xu Jiuyang was puzzled: "What's there to be jealous of? By the end of next year, she will have at least 50 million US dollars in assets."

"Want to know?" Yang Mi asked with a smile.

"Please enlighten me, Big Sister." Xu Jiuyang was so engrossed in the game that he even gave a fist and palm salute.

Da Mimi was smug for a moment, then explained, "It's very simple. Mine and my mom's are two different things. And as for Xixi, you know, she can be quite awkward sometimes."

He pointed to his head as he spoke.

Xu Jiuyang was speechless. Was your friendship just a facade? How could you tell others that your best friend had a mental problem?

"In short, she used to think that she could do what Fan Bingbing could do, but now she realizes that she can't surpass her in terms of wealth alone, is that what you mean?" he said after thinking carefully.

"That's about right." Da Mimi thought about it carefully and then spread her hands.

"Great, impressive." Xu Jiuyang gave a thumbs up, not wanting to ask any more questions. He really couldn't understand what young people like them were thinking.

Regardless, filming for "Li Lei and Han Meimei" has wrapped up smoothly. Even though Liu Qianqian, who was in a bad mood because of Fan Bayi, was particularly out of sorts during the final scene, as long as someone wasn't on set, the whole thing went well overall.

Then, after resting for a few days, he was urged to go to the music company by Da Tian Tian's constant text messages.

"If you need something, you can send an email, QQ message, or make a phone call. Why do you always send text messages?" Xu Jiuyang was quite annoyed.

"I've sent emails and QQ messages, but I haven't received any replies. I don't want to keep calling you for fear of bothering you, so I can only send text messages," Da Tiantian said, sounding quite aggrieved.

Xu Jiuyang was speechless. If that's the case, why are you being so humble? You should be assertive and confident! Even if you have other considerations, you should be neither humble nor arrogant!
But he simply said, "In short, with their encouragement, you've already been able to sing 'Visiting an Old Friend' well?"

It would have been better not to ask, because the other person felt even more aggrieved: "What do you mean by 'under their supervision'? Am I worse than them?"

Indeed, it's not as good as... Wait, what kind of reaction is this? Xu Jiuyang felt strange. Shouldn't he have asked them what their relationship was with him first?

Previously, I planned to have Liu Qianqian and Yang Mi each record a version and send it to Jing Tian for reference. Yang Yuying, who was helping with the production, hinted to me that this might make them jealous.

At the time, Xu Jiuyang didn't think much of it. Jealous? What kind of jealousy? What kind of vinegar tastes good?
He finally realized that even if he and she were just ordinary friends, she should have asked at least once after he sent them the recording. Instead, she was acting all wronged, which seemed too deliberate. However, knowing this didn't mean Xu Jiuyang could actually ask her. The moment the thought crossed his mind, he realized that his relationship with Da Tiantian was somewhat off.

"You brought the audio recording, right? Play it and let's listen to it." He coughed lightly and then asked, changing the subject.

Da Tiantian pouted, but still took out the USB drive. After listening to the audio on the computer, Xu Jiuyang was quite surprised.

"Wow, that's amazing! How did you do that?" he asked, quite surprised.

As a result, Da Tiantian pouted, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

"Oh, I'm not questioning your abilities, I'm just curious how you've improved so quickly," Xu Jiuyang added simply.

"Really?" Jing Tian asked doubtfully, but the corners of her mouth quickly curled up and then fell back down.

"Of course, I don't know you..." Xu Jiuyang suddenly stopped, his brows furrowing.

Some things are one thing if they happen once or twice, but if they happen three or four times, then there must be something wrong. For example, a girl with average singing talent might suddenly start singing at a professional level after two or three months.

It's actually normal for Da Tian Tian to be able to reach this level. There's no need to elaborate on her family situation. As long as she hires a good teacher and practices diligently, it's entirely possible for her to reach this level.

"Exploring Old Friends" is indeed difficult to sing, but it is also easy to sing. The key lies in whether the teacher can teach in a targeted manner and whether the students can learn seriously.

It seems that the seemingly lazy Da Tian Tian is actually learning quite well.

If that's the case, then the version recorded by Yang Mi sounds alright, which can also be explained?

After all, she has the time and money now, and can even get Yang Yuying to personally guide her. With more practice, it's not impossible for her to sing.

But what about Liu Qianqian?
She's been filming movies non-stop, though she's taken leave several times—there's nothing she can do about it, even Xu Jiuyang himself often takes leave and runs away while filming; if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam can't be expected to be crooked either.

Of course, although his role as the head of the family wasn't exactly upright, he was still very dedicated and professional when acting, so this aspect is worth discussing and setting an example for.

In short, Liu Qianqian sent over the recorded version not long after filming of "Li Lei and Han Meimei" was completed, which is a bit outrageous. It's impossible that she was practicing when she was on leave, right?

"Brother Yang, what are you saying?" Jing Tian asked, her eyes wide.

"It's nothing..." Xu Jiuyang sighed, deciding to put all of this behind him.

Regardless of the situation, it's none of my business. Whether they're lazy or not is their business. I just need to keep my promise.

"Anyway, maintaining your current level is enough. I'll send you the rest of the songs. Record one and send it to me. If I think it's good enough, then we can release an album," Xu Jiuyang said.

"But, Brother Yang, I think this song is nice, but it might not be easy for it to spread widely." Jing Tian said very carefully, but her eyes kept blinking, showing an expression of wanting it but not being able to have it.

Xu Jiuyang chuckled: "Since that's the case, they happen to have editing software here, so I'll show you how impressive it is."
