The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 576 Let me make this clear first, my schedule is very tight.
"I spend every day in front of the computer reading comments, and there are so many people praising me."

"That video was edited so well, even better than 'Spring Snow in the Courtyard'. I almost cried when I watched it."

"I really like it so much, I like you so much, Brother Yang... Thank you so much for your song!"

In the conference room of Six Degrees Music, Jing Tian chattered excitedly with Xu Jiuyang, gesturing wildly, clearly very happy.

"Alright," Xu Jiuyang patted her head, "Your grades are good and deserve encouragement, but don't be too proud."

He sighed inwardly. This Six Degrees Music venue seemed to have become their date spot. Why did they always end up discussing business here?
However, on the other hand, Xu Jiuyang would definitely not be happy to go to Da Tiantian's house.

Although she said she lives alone now, who knows who she might meet if she actually agrees?

Similarly, it would be inappropriate to bring Da Tiantian to one's own home; the implications of bringing a girl home are self-evident.

"Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will never be arrogant!" Da Tiantian patted her chest with great pride, showing that she would definitely keep her word.

But the next second, she flashed a fawning smile and clenched her fists at her chest: "Um, about my movie script, isn't it..."

"Didn't I already send it to you?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow.

"They sent it to me, and everyone thinks it's great. They even brought in Wanda Cinema to invest together," Da Tiantian nodded vigorously. "But... Brother Yang, are you really not coming?"

"Why does it have to be me?" Xu Jiuyang sighed.

"Because you don't come... I can't tell good from bad," Jing Tian said pitifully.

"Is that so?" Xu Jiuyang continued to sigh.

“Yes, they were all saying what I wanted to hear, including the people from Wanda Cinemas.” Da Tiantian pouted.

"If that's the case, how are you so sure they're all saying what you want to hear?" Xu Jiuyang suddenly became interested.

It's common for those in high positions to be surrounded by flatterers; as someone once said, once you become famous, everyone around you is a nice person.

Many people are aware of this, but very few are aware of it and want to correct it. As for those who are aware of it, want to correct it, and successfully correct it, even fewer are.

Based on his understanding of Jing Tian from her previous life, she didn't seem like someone who could realize this, and even if she did, she might not want to correct it.

After all, she is a woman of wealth and beauty; she may understand some things, not care about some things, but she also cares about some things.

Moreover, the fact that she said that means she has heard some voices other than flattery and pandering, which is not something she would do voluntarily.

"I..." Jing Tian stammered, "I just know!"

Xu Jiuyang scratched his head: "If you don't tell the truth, I'm in a difficult position, Tian Tian."

"Couldn't...couldn't I just feel something's wrong and then try to find out about it privately?" Jing Tian pouted, asking somewhat unhappily.

“Sure, that’s why I asked you how you found out.” Xu Jiuyang asked patiently again.

"But...it's hard to say," Da Tiantian said, becoming hesitant. "I can't very well say...that I was eavesdropping, can I?"

“Hmm…” Xu Jiuyang decided to change the subject. “Speaking of which, how did Wanda Cinemas get involved? I remember it was only established not long ago. At first, it was just operating cinemas. I even met Lao Wang once.”

"Really? What kind of person does Brother Yang think he is?" Jing Tian asked curiously. "A capable person who is good at navigating social situations and seizing opportunities." Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but click his tongue as he said this. "This is the first time I've known that he actually knows our old man."

"Huh?" Da Tian Tian's eyes widened.

"Nothing, nothing..." Xu Jiuyang quickly waved his hand and steered the conversation back on track, "You haven't answered me yet."

"That..." Jing Tian chuckled awkwardly and answered cautiously, "It's probably because he and my dad... or rather, my father, made some kind of deal."

"Is that so?" Xu Jiuyang stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I think I know what's going on."

"Huh?" Da Tiantian blinked.

"It's nothing more than the Shenmu and Shenhua matters," Xu Jiuyang said, shaking his head.

"Does Brother Yang also know that Shenmu City is going to establish an energy group?" Da Tiantian asked curiously again.

Xu Jiuyang's heart skipped a beat. Although he knew which capital was behind Da Tiantian in his previous life—there are always people in the industry who will talk big when they brag, and you can verify it by checking the key words one by one—he did not expect that Shenmu Group had not yet been established.

However, he had seen his share of ups and downs, and calmly shrugged: "I don't know about that, but Shenmu City is, after all, a high-end energy and chemical industry base in China, and it has close ties with Shenhua Capital. Now that the country is preparing to upgrade its industries, it's normal to form its own group."

"So... Brother Yang knows all about it?" Da Tiantian became hesitant at this moment.

“I’m not stupid,” Xu Jiuyang flicked her forehead lightly, “Besides, I also have a few formidable female confidantes.”

“That’s true…” Jing Tian pouted, looking a little unhappy, especially when she heard the words “confidante.”

"In short, here's the problem. Although Wanda is a newcomer, it has deep pockets, and Huayi Brothers, the largest private film and television company in mainland China, went bankrupt this year, which makes it easier for them to poach talent. As long as we film exactly according to the script and don't make any arbitrary changes, there won't be any major problems," Xu Jiuyang coaxed.

"The script isn't even fully written yet..." Da Tiantian muttered.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely hand it over to you before summer vacation. After all, you still have your studies to take care of—by the way, you said you scored over 500 points in your academic subjects last year, shouldn't you make good use of that?" Xu Jiuyang said.

Although he still doesn't understand how Xixi and Mimi scored 600 points in the college entrance examination, it doesn't stop him from using it to tease them. Although Tiantian is a bit worse, she is still better than those who failed the exam—at least in terms of academic performance—and he can't end up associating with those who failed the exam.

“But, Brother Yang,” Da Tiantian rolled her eyes, “how will you guarantee that no one will change the script? This is the opening chapter of my cinematic universe. What if someone changes it, and even changes key plot points?”

Xu Jiuyang twitched his lips, wanting to ask: You can't even handle this?
But upon closer reflection, she realized she might not be able to handle it, so she said, "I'll invest a portion and send someone over to be the producer. Anyone who dares to misbehave will be warned first, and if they don't listen, they'll be kicked out. Anyway, the movie is for you to make, so quality is the priority, and then word-of-mouth and box office."

Da Tian Tian's face immediately flushed slightly, and her eyes sparkled with joy and excitement.

Then, as if making a firm decision, she took his arm and said, "Brother Yang, how about you play the male lead?"

"Didn't I already say..." Xu Jiuyang scratched his head in annoyance, but couldn't continue.

He had seen Da Tiantian's earnest, pleading, and persistent expression far too many times. They always looked like this when they needed something from him and refused to give up.

It wasn't exactly the same, but it was indistinguishable, which naturally left him speechless.

Finally, after careful consideration, Xu Jiuyang could only sigh and say, "Let me make it clear first, my schedule is very tight these next two years."

Then, with a loud slap, I got a solid kiss.
