The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

What exactly happened in Chapter 539?

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Xu Jiuyang shrank back a little after Fan Bingbing said that.

"It's settled then." Fan Bingbing snorted again and continued to hold and soothe the child.

“But my parents are coming to Beijing soon…” Xu Jiuyang still wanted to try.

"What does it have to do with me that your parents are here?" Fan Bingbing asked in a cold tone, but secretly glanced at him.

“You’re my wife, and you’ve given birth to our child, so of course I have to meet them,” Xu Jiuyang said matter-of-factly.

"Really? What about Sister Yuanyuan?" Fan Bingbing squinted her eyes.

“Of course she’ll come too. She’s my ex-wife, and she has children with me,” Xu Jiuyang said seriously. “However, she doesn’t have to move in like you do.”

"I'm going to move in here?!" Fan Bingbing's eyes widened, but her smile was harder to suppress than AK's.

“Of course,” Xu Jiuyang nodded, “We’ve already gotten the marriage certificate.”

"Do we need to take more wedding photos?" Fan Bingbing immediately asked.

However, she realized what she was saying as soon as she spoke, and immediately coughed to forcefully steer the conversation back on track: "I understand."

After all, Gao Yuanyuan didn't even take the photos, and someone promised to do it later.

"So, what's the child's nickname..." Xu Jiuyang finally revealed his true intentions.

However, Fan Bingbing gave him no chance at all: "No change!"

"Oh, honey, don't be like that," Xu Jiuyang said gently.

“I think it’s very necessary to let my parents know how good my husband is at naming things,” Fan Bingbing said with a proud tone, her chin slightly raised.

Xu Jiuyang was shocked. Holy crap, has the way they address each other become so smooth?
But he didn't give up. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Speaking of which, Angela's Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to start. I've given her a few ideas. Would you be interested in playing a role or something, Fan?"

I deliberately changed the way I addressed her to make it sound more formal, and the success rate... should be a little higher, right?

However, the other party refused decisively, saying, "No!"

"Why is that?" Xu Jiuyang was somewhat surprised, but not entirely.

"Your cinematic universe sounds like it will take many years to build. I'm a billionaire now. A billionaire acting in one or two movies occasionally can be considered as not forgetting his roots, but if he acts in movies all the time... that's low-class!" Fan Bingbing rolled her eyes.

“I’m a billionaire now, but you guys still force me to work in the entertainment industry every day. Yunxin’s ‘Myth’ insists on casting me as the male lead.” Xu Jiuyang rolled his eyes as well.

They happen to be a couple, with similarly sized whites of their eyes.

"And another thing, if you're making a Hollywood movie, you have to go to Hollywood. The actors there aren't exactly innocent. If someone on the crew is on drugs and it gets blamed on me, I'll be devastated!" Fan Bingbing continued.

“That makes sense,” Xu Jiuyang slammed his fist into his palm. “We need to talk to Angela and tell her we can’t use actors with certain criminal records. After all, these movies still need to be sold domestically.”

Actually, he had planned to bring this up when he was discussing it with Angela.

Robert Downey Jr. was incredibly talented; he portrayed Tony Stark so well that the two were practically synonymous, to the point that comics later started drawing Iron Man characters based on his likeness.

But so what? If Fan Bingbing can play Xiao Yanzi, it's no problem for Tony Stark to find someone else.

As for whether the acting is good or not, is that even a question? Putting everything else aside, if someone from this life were reborn into the previous life's timeline, they would absolutely not accept Megatron's Little Swallow.

At least in the entertainment industry, no one is irreplaceable, so Xu Jiuyang really wanted to know who, besides Robert Downey Jr., could play Iron Man well. This was one of the pleasures of his rebirth, especially since this pleasure was aroused by them—just look at how many actors they had replaced in the TV series they were in charge of.

Just like with Li Yunxin, Xu Jiuyang originally wanted to tell Angela this, but because she was too insistent on him doing the outline, he was so focused on leaving that he forgot about it. Then she used the Star Absorbing Technique, which made him lose himself in the process.

But it's okay, we'll communicate again in the future, so we can talk about it then.

“Um… Fan, my story ‘Inception’ is also being made into a movie, and Angela wants me to play the male lead. Would you like to play the female lead?” Xu Jiuyang, whose first scheme failed, came up with another. “Even if you want to gradually retire behind the scenes, at least you should act in a big-budget Sino-US co-production as an achievement, right?”

Fan Bingbing looked at him with surprise: "Since you've put it that way, it's not impossible, but I've read your novel, and the two important female characters don't have many scenes."

"You'll definitely play the wife role. It's not a lot of screen time, but it's very important. You said it yourself, it's a crucial role," Xu Jiuyang coaxed repeatedly.

“If you really want to act in it, it’s not impossible,” Fan Bingbing nodded seriously, then changed the subject, “but changing your nickname is out of the question!”

Xu Jiuyang's smile froze, he shrank back dejectedly, and sighed in frustration.

Of course, he couldn't say something like, "If she doesn't change her name, I won't let her act in the role." That would be too petty and opportunistic.

And even if I told her, Angela would still insist on having her play the role if she knew.

If he were to refuse, all of them might gang up on him and pester him until he agreed.

What a disaster… Xu Jiuyang sighed inwardly, but Fan Bingbing added fuel to the fire: “Oh dear, Roubao, if you ever think this nickname is terrible, remember it was your father’s idea.”

She said this while coaxing her son, and then her son kept giggling and babbling in her arms.

So Xu Jiuyang went around to the cradle, picked up his daughter, and gently rocked her to soothe her: "Dumpling, dumpling, if you ever end up in the pot, remember it's your mother's fault."

Unfortunately, the little guy was uncooperative and suddenly woke up while being shaken, then started crying loudly, causing one person to scramble to their feet and making the onlooker burst into laughter.

A few more days passed, and after the students had all started their summer vacation, my parents, who lived far away in the southwest, finally flew over.

Xu Jiuyang personally drove the newly upgraded Navigator to pick them up, along with Zhang Yan, who was his assistant.

At first, his parents didn't think much of it. His father just remarked on the price of the car and gave him a meaningful look, while also trying to get some information out of Zhang Yan.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yan had been instructed by someone to keep quiet.

Upon arriving at the villa, they couldn't contain themselves any longer. After all, the idea of ​​a butler and maids lining up in two rows to welcome the master and mistress was something they had only ever seen in TV dramas.

Upon arriving in the living room and seeing Fan Bingbing holding the child, he was dealt another blow.

What? You already have children?
What? You two are actually married?

What? You're actually in your second marriage?

If it weren't for the two little ones being adorable enough to distract their mother, she probably would have completely lost her mind in the living room.

As for Dad...

"What exactly happened?" After pulling someone into the study, the old man asked very seriously, even sternly.

"The maid was arranged by Yunxin, the housekeeper by Angela, Zhang Yan, the assistant, was arranged by Bingbing, and the literary assistant Zhang Shuang isn't here; she was arranged by Sister Yuanyuan," Xu Jiuyang explained.

"So, you really were being kept?" his father asked, staring at him intently.
