The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 561 Raising troops to investigate crimes
Unravel my most mysterious waiting, stars are falling, the wind is blowing...

Xu Jiuyang was in the recording studio, wearing headphones and singing into the microphone. Son Ye-jin was right next to him, also wearing headphones and facing the microphone, ready to follow up at any time.

The theme song is still "Beautiful Myth," and the composer is still Choi Joon-young from South Korea, but the lyricist's name is... Lee Seol!
That's right, it's Li Xue. I didn't expect that besides writing good scripts, she's also quite talented at songwriting... just kidding!
Damn it, these lyrics are exactly the same as the one from my past life. You say she wrote this? You might as well say I am Qin Shi Huang!
It's obvious even to a fool that Li Yunxin must have dreamt about something, then wrote it down and gave it to Angela, who then found a lyricist to publish it under that person's name.

However, good lyricists may not be willing to do this, and it's not necessary to spend money to do it, so Angela took a shortcut and handed it over to Li Xue.

That's for sure.

Although they only recorded about one-fifth of the recording in an afternoon, Xu Jiuyang still praised Son Ye-jin: "You sang well."

Although she wasn't a professional singer, she was still very emotional and very invested, even more so than him—which is normal, as he was very familiar with the plot of the movie "The Myth." Even though his version had many plot changes, the main storyline remained the same, so it was really hard for him to be moved by this inexplicable plot.

However, his singing skills are above average, and he can also imitate Jackie Chan's singing style, which should make the song just as popular.

In the past life, the duet by Jackie Chan and Kim Hee-sun was considered better by the audience than the duet by Han and Sun. Apart from the difference in lyrics, the lyrics of the Chinese and Korean versions were completely written based on Meng Yi and Yu Shu's version, while the pure Chinese version was just filler. Some listeners also couldn't connect the love meaning in the song with Han and Sun. In addition, Jackie Chan and Kim Hee-sun's slightly awkward singing style expressed the purity and resilience in the theme, so it was a lucky accident.

Even Jackie Chan himself couldn't understand it. He just felt that he hadn't sung well, so he had Han and Sun record another version. In the end, his own version was still more popular.

These words may contain politeness or boasting, but that doesn't prevent Xu Jiuyang from learning from them, especially since his version doesn't have a pure Mandarin duet version.

"Thank you, sir." Son Ye-jin's eyes crinkled, as if she was truly pleased.

Not only that, she also tentatively asked, "Sir, could we...?"

"Oh?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds." She immediately bowed deeply, filled with trepidation.

Xu Jiuyang pinched the bridge of his nose: "How about this, I'll take some time recently to host an impart at my house, and you all come to participate—note, all of you."

“I understand,” Son Ye-jin said with a happy smile. “I will tell them, and then everyone will adjust their schedules.”

Clearly, she knew what "you all" and "come all" meant.

After she and her team left, Xu Jiuyang took Zhang Yan to the parking lot, but couldn't help but sigh after getting into the car.

"What's wrong, boss?" Zhang Yan asked perceptively.

"Suddenly I realized that even though my bottom line is already very low, my moral standards are still higher than many people's," he said with emotion.

"Huh?" Zhang Yan blinked, puzzled.

Xu Jiuyang didn't explain, and just started the car engine. He had naturally thought about driving an impart before, but even with women constantly throwing themselves at him, he hadn't taken any action.

Now, however, the line has been crossed again. Even though I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps I was influenced by the clear class distinctions in South Korea. Even though Lee Yoon-hyung spoiled the three secretaries to the skies after my persuasion, she never gave Jun Ji-hyun and Son Ye-jin a second glance.

That's it then. After all, power... is about controlling others. Xu Jiuyang sighed. Finding an excuse is enough; why think so much?

There's not much else to do. It mainly involves continuing filming "The Beautiful Myth," working on the post-production of "Man Jiang Hong" and "The Myth," and urging Zhang Shuang and Zhao Shu to write the scripts. Incidentally, I'll discuss the plot with Sister Yuanyuan, the career transition with Fan, the prospects of IC with Yunxin, the potential financial crisis with Angela, and running back and forth between the children, trying to portray a father figure.

In November, due to the favoritism shown to one side over the other, the two great poets of the Tang Dynasty came to their door demanding an explanation.

"See? See? I knew it! He didn't care about this at all!" Da Mimi rolled the script into a cylinder and pointed at someone with a very smug look on her face.

Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow, wanting to pull her over and beat her up on his lap, but remembering that he had already beaten her last night and left her barely alive, he just snorted.

Last night they came together, and when they went in together, they used all sorts of tricks. In particular, one of them, Xixi, actually whispered a certain name in his ear, which made him furious. Apart from Da Mimi, she was the one who suffered the most attacks.

And that's it? All for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3"?!

"It's just an idol drama, why take it to heart? I'm a Cannes Film Festival Best Actor, okay? It's already a big favor for a Cannes Film Festival Best Actor to come and film an idol drama!" Xu Jiuyang complained. "Do you know what people were saying when 'Chinese Paladin 1' aired? They were saying it was self-degradation!"

He put on a pained and remorseful look, as if he truly regretted it.

However, it wasn't very effective; they had their own ways of dealing with it—no sooner had he finished speaking than Tang Yan and Liu Shishi had already flanked him, clinging to his arms and pleading in sweet, coquettish voices:

"Brother Yang, you promised us."

"Brother Yang, you can't go back on your word."

Xu Jiuyang could only sigh inwardly, wondering how much Liu Qianqian and Da Mimi had given them, that they would come running to fawn over them with just a snap of their fingers, and to such an extent.

However, on the other hand, he saw some resemblance to Li Dabai and Yinyin in them, except that they were more dependent on each other.

Although he initially thought he was scheming against Yuanyuan and the others when they first met, in reality, Yuanyuan genuinely treated Li Dabai and Yinyin as sisters, it's just... a little different.

Whenever it's a one-on-three situation, the phrase "inseparable" is only used to describe Sister Yuanyuan and Li Dabai. There was even one time when he simply pulled Zhang Yin aside and watched their performance while being affectionate.

Even so, he was almost overflowing with satisfaction, especially when Yin Yin pulled him to join her again.

Of course, Zhang Yin was frequently doubles-teamed by Sister Yuanyuan and Li Dabai after that.

Getting back to the main point, the difference between Tangtang and Shishi is that they almost always obey Qianqian and Mimi. If we're being honest, that's what a CPU should look like.

However, neither Tangtang nor Shishi seemed to care at all, so Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but suspect that Da Mimi might be similar to Yuanyuan and the others, able to receive fragments of future information in her dreams.

Otherwise, how could she have seized the opportunity to jump three levels in a row?

News has come from Angela that the real estate company in the United States has been officially sold for $550 million, and the deal will be finalized by mid-November at the latest.

Although it wasn't a cash transaction, and transferring the money back to China would be quite troublesome, Yang Mi did take out $50 initially. Ideally, she could receive at least $5500 million, which would surpass the wealth of most top Hong Kong and Taiwan stars who have been in the industry for many years.
