The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 575 Private Secret
Hearing his ex-wife's words, Xu Jiuyang had a strange feeling. Was it that they were actually on the same page?
He had heard about how Zhang Yin became the first Miss World in mainland China in his previous life, and it was no different from what Sister Yuanyuan was saying now.

She comes from a relatively well-off family, considered upper-middle class – after all, she's from a military compound, and both her parents have military backgrounds, which is why she, like Niu Li, initially went to train in sports.

She had some modeling experience and good personal qualities—her height was an advantage, and she had also worked as a model for a period of time.

There was some support – with the Olympics approaching, and to celebrate the motherland, New Silk Road colluded with the organizers and selected her to receive this honor.

So, as I said before, you need to have the ability to pass the test before you are qualified to participate in the competition.

In this life, let's not talk about her background. Although her achievements as a model are only so-so, she has a super amazing best friend.

With the resources that Sister Yuanyuan currently possesses, sending her to compete for the Miss World title or even to win the crown would not be difficult at all.

"I think even if Yinyin wins the Miss World title, it might not necessarily have much impact on the operation of Fangyuan Culture in the future," Xu Jiuyang said after thinking for a while.

Sister Yuanyuan asked directly, "Which side are you on?"

"Of course I'm on Yuanyuan's side." Xu Jiuyang readily agreed and smoothly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, if 'Cyberbullying' is to be made into a movie, why not let Chen Kaige direct it?"

"Which side are you standing on?" Sister Yuanyuan asked again.

Although it was the same question, the addition of the word "呢" made a big difference in meaning, so he continued: "Aesthetics are something that can't be summarized without a lot of practice. After all, Sister Yuanyuan is a first-time director, and there are many aspects that she may not be able to take into account. It just so happens that she is currently at her wit's end and has no choice but to ask us for help. As long as she doesn't cause any trouble and strictly follows the script, she still has some skills."

Putting aside how damaging it is for Kai to be branded as "ruining the largest private film and television company in China," even if it were the kind of situation where he was indifferent after messing up "The Promise" in his previous life, it would be easy for them to manipulate things now.

“It would be a real shame not to make good use of this opportunity,” Xu Jiuyang said. “Of course, if Sister Yuanyuan insists on personally providing guidance, we can also ask him to be a producer and take his views and opinions into consideration.”

"Is this last sentence your true thought?" Sister Yuanyuan snorted softly, her squinted eyes looking quite adorable.

“Sister Yuanyuan is wise beyond words,” Xu Jiuyang chuckled, “but I really think it’s a good idea.”

"Isn't it because we have to admit it?" Sister Yuanyuan asked again with a smile.

Xu Jiuyang coughed loudly, and then saw Tangyuan burrow into her mother's arms, looking disgusted.

This little thing!

“Okay, I won’t say anything then,” Sister Yuanyuan changed the subject. “I’ll consider it, if Director Chen knows what’s good for him.”

Xu Jiuyang breathed a sigh of relief, but felt somewhat embarrassed, as it seemed there was still a possibility that the bottom line could be lowered further.
While thinking this to herself, she said aloud, "He'll definitely know what's good for him. If he doesn't, and Angela and the others don't help, he can always ask his brother-in-law."

As mentioned before, Sister Yuanyuan is planning to send her older brother to a certain group. Although he hasn't officially taken his place yet, he's close to it. He's a typical example of someone with a low rank but great power, and he's in charge of the arts and culture circle.

Yuanyuan didn't answer immediately. After teasing Tangyuan for a while, she looked up at him gently and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do and when."

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang asked subconsciously.

"Of course, I can foresee the future," Sister Yuanyuan said with a serious expression.

"Oh?" Xu Jiuyang smiled, but his heart skipped a beat. "Then where will I go tomorrow?"

"How would I know?" Yuan Yuan rolled her eyes at him.

"You don't even know this, yet you claim to have precognitive abilities?" Xu Jiuyang immediately laughed and then pinched her son's cheek. "Tangyuan, your mother is talking big again." "Bang!" The little guy stretched out his hand to stop him and even spread his arms to block his mother, but unfortunately, he didn't have much of an imposing presence.

However, with her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, Sister Yuanyuan immediately pulled her son into her arms, not allowing him to act like a domineering father.

"The kids won't be close to me anymore," Xu Jiuyang said sourly.

"How could that be? I think Dumpling likes you more. She's always so happy when you hold her." Sister Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow and snorted.

"Then..." Xu Jiuyang drawled out, but before he could finish speaking, the other party rejected him: "No, tangyuan is enough."

“Okay…” he could only reply dryly.

“Of course, if you want Ranran and Yinyin to have a child, I won’t object,” Sister Yuanyuan added.

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang blinked.

This is no ordinary promise. To put it in a feudal sense, these women are now equivalent to the matriarchs, and their children are naturally legitimate sons who can be included in the family genealogy, while the children of other concubines, maids, and mistresses do not have this qualification.

and so……

Damn it, how did I, a fine socialist youth, degenerate to this level?
While sighing inwardly, Xu Jiuyang asked with a grin, "Sister Yuanyuan, can you help me predict how to make their child a daughter?"

Yuan Yuan didn't answer immediately. She patted Tang Yuan's little head and then said softly, "It's not easy to predict the future. I only know one thing: if you weren't by my side, even if some things were accomplished, the results would be much smaller than they are now."

She looked up at him with her gentle, tender gaze, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, among the women, Sister Yuanyuan is the most accommodating to me, especially in many details, which is quite different from Li Yunxin and Angela's indulgence.

As for Fan, she would make concessions, but every time she did, she would want to get something from him, even if she couldn't give him something of equal value.

Xu Jiuyang is not opposed to this exchange, but compared to Sister Yuanyuan's gentleness, it goes without saying which side he would prefer and lean towards.

"I understand," he said finally, then leaned over and kissed Sister Yuanyuan, suppressing the little guy who was baring his teeth and claws and trying to protest.

Xu Jiuyang didn't intend to ask any further questions about this issue. Although Sister Yuanyuan seemed to want to say something more, after all, he was also hiding something and it was unlikely that he would be able to tell her. So it was more appropriate for both of them to keep some private secrets.

However, when giving them advice in the future, we need to take into account the factor that "they may continue to receive fragments of information in the future".

Although Sister Yuanyuan's words were ambiguous and did not fully explain the situation, making it difficult for him to be certain, it's always good to think about it more.

After all, they are all doing very well in pursuing their respective goals.

Skipping that, as spring of 07 began, after "Man Jiang Hong" benefited from the long tail effect during the Spring Festival, "Tan Gu Zhi" became a viral sensation online.

The reason is obvious. Xu Jiuyang had suggested it to Da Tiantian before, so Starlight Brilliant directly used Wang Tiecheng's work and started by showing a clip of the farewell ceremony. It's no wonder it caused a sensation.

In addition, the lyrics for "Exploring the Past" are second only to "Spring Snow in the Courtyard" and "Wine in the Mountain Pass," which naturally boosted Jing Tian's entire ancient-style album.
