The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 590 Battle from Afar
As the shouts of "Hey-ha!" echoed through the training ground, Xu Jiuyang and Fan Bingbing began to show off their fancy moves, but instead of sparring, they practiced with their coach and martial arts instructors from Hong Kong.

The male lead, Chen Yaoxing, practices Cai Li Fo, while the female lead, Gong Ruomei, practices Baguazhang. To make the fight scenes look good on screen, one must do a lot of practice. Montage is not a panacea. Viewers who have watched a lot of films can tell at a glance whether someone has basic skills or not.

Although the theme of "The Grandmaster" is showing off, action scenes are still an important part. If the male and female leads want to stand out, the action scenes must also be outstanding, so more practice is necessary.

"Two hours of training a day, is that enough, honey?" Xu Jiuyang asked with a smile as they stood together, ready to spar.

It was called a sparring match, but in reality, they just stood together and gestured, which didn't even qualify as a proper exchange of moves.

In the movie, the fight scene between the male and female protagonists is considered their love story's turning point, and it needs to be depicted in detail. The better this fight scene is portrayed, the more it can showcase the characteristics of the male and female protagonists, so a lot of practice is required.

"You'll see when the time comes!" Fan Bingbing, who had been pushing him, suddenly blocked his fist, lowered her body, and lifted her hands upwards.

Good heavens, the white ape is offering fruit.

Unfortunately, it was too slow. Xu Jiuyang dodged it with a slight backswing, then flipped his palm upwards as well, actually grabbing her wrist. He then pretended to use his head to lift her up, and as she instinctively leaned back, he thrust his knee forward.

"Wait a minute, you should be using Cai Li Fo, how did it turn into Xingyi?" Although she was only grazed, she had been practicing Bagua every day and had even sparred with a Xingyi master, so she immediately recognized it.

"This is called winning without using any moves," Xu Jiuyang said smugly, only to be met with a glare from the other party.

"Keep using the 'no-move-is-the-best-move' strategy," Fan Bingbing said, preparing to leave.

"It hasn't been two hours yet, has it?" Xu Jiuyang was surprised.

"You think I'm like you, doing nothing all day? I have a lot to do now." She said this in a rather arrogant tone.

"Okay, okay, I'll be very busy," Xu Jiuyang replied perfunctorily.

After she changed her clothes and came out, even though he had seen her in this work-appropriate suit many times, he still couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

If we were to pinpoint the biggest difference between Fan Bingbing in her past life and her second wife in this life, it would be her strong, independent woman aura.

Although Fan Bingbing in her previous life called herself "Fan Ye" (Master Fan), Xu Jiuyang had heard a gossip that said in private, all of Fan Ye's personal belongings and bedroom decorations were pink, reflecting her girlish heart. She also addressed men older than herself as "brother" in private.

Whether it's her true nature or she's overacting, one thing is certain: in her past life, the vast majority of Fan Bingbing's achievements were obtained by relying on men.

While the second wife in this life may have gained access to fragments of future information due to her own special abilities and the rebirth of someone else, her current career and achievements are indeed the result of her own hard work.

When physical beauty reaches a certain level, one's temperament, demeanor, and personality become the deciding factors. My second wife's sharp temperament immediately shines through when she wears a women's suit, setting her apart from ordinary women.

"Haven't you seen enough?" Fan Bingbing rolled her eyes when she saw someone's thumbs-up.

"I haven't seen enough," Xu Jiuyang nodded in admission.

This sharp, heroic spirit is incredibly alluring, whether on or under the desk.

Fan Bingbing gave a rather haughty snort, walked up to him, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips: "I know you have a date tonight, but remember to come back after you've had your fun."

Xu Jiuyang couldn't help but twitch his lips and glanced around. Although many people had heard it, they all pretended not to.

After all, a confidentiality agreement was signed, and besides, Fan Bingbing is currently among the top 50 richest people in the country—although on the surface she might seem a little less, it can be rounded up. Speaking of which, if I don't find a way to cover it up, I'll probably be in the top 200 by the end of this year; World of Warcraft is just too popular.

Xu Jiuyang quickly dismissed the thought. What's meant to be will be. If he's going to be on the list, so be it. He'll just be within the top 200 anyway.
As for his second wife's provocative words before she left, he didn't take them to heart. Such petty tricks were too low-level and wouldn't be of any use to someone as experienced as him.

However, after he finished his practice and arrived at the meeting place, he realized the true meaning behind his second wife's words.

"Honey, why are you so late?" As soon as he entered the villa, Li Dabai threw herself into his arms, making him shiver.

"Isn't it a bit premature for you to address me like that?" Xu Jiuyang asked, puzzled.

"What's so early about it?" Li Xiaoran said somewhat displeased. "Logically speaking, I should be your first wife."

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang snorted. "But I feel like, how come you were Yuanyuan's first wife?"

"I'm Yuanyuan's wife, what's the difference between me being your wife and that?" Li Dabai said indifferently.

Xu Jiuyang was quite helpless, so he had no choice but to bring the topic back: "In short, there are still at least four or five months left."

“You don’t know this,” Li Xiaoran said smugly. “I told that vixen that I can have more time, but during that extra time, I have to call you husband, and I have to do it in front of her.”

"In other words, she can call me that in front of you now?" Xu Jiuyang sighed.

"So what?" Li Dabai said indifferently.

Xu Jiuyang sighed even harder: "I have a marriage certificate with her, but I don't have one with you. If you two both call each other 'husband,' guess who is the original wife and who is the mistress in other people's eyes?"

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment: "I'll be getting a marriage certificate with you in a few months!"

"The mistress finally got rid of the wife," Xu Jiuyang added expressionlessly.

Li Xiaoran paused for a moment before continuing, somewhat exasperated, "I played your wife in 'The Grandmaster'!"

“That’s her NTRing you, not you NTRing her,” Xu Jiuyang said, spreading his hands.

Li Xiaoran's lips trembled, and she cried out as she burrowed into his arms, squirming, "I won't do it! Think of something, honey! You can't let her bully me like this!"

Before Xu Jiuyang could speak, she straightened up again: "If you refuse, I'll tell Yuanyuan, and from now on... from now on... from now on, it'll just be the three of us playing together, without you!"

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow.

After another long pause, Li Dabai curled her lip and threw herself into his arms again: "Husband, why are you siding with that vixen? Why aren't you on my side!"

Why didn't you ask me before you did this? Even if you didn't ask me, why didn't you ask Sister Yuanyuan? Xu Jiuyang was very troubled, but he didn't know how to answer.

You guys can fight each other remotely, so why drag me into it? It's like I have the final say in this matter.

However, he suddenly understood why she had invited him over and why she had used terms like "husband" and "wife." He regretted not giving the role of the protagonist's wife in "The Grandmaster" to someone else.
Well, that's impossible. Li Dabai asked for it himself, and he would never refuse, even if he foresaw this situation.

So what should we do now?
