The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 597 He Has Me in His Heart!
"Speaking of which, how did you do it?" Xu Jiuyang asked curiously. "Don't tell me it was from repeated practice."

"Hmm..." Da Tiantian stuck out her tongue, "It's just about practicing repeatedly."

"Really?" Xu Jiuyang raised his eyebrows.

“Of course, there are also teachers who teach us,” Da Tiantian said honestly. “However, after each practice session, I record it and ask the teacher to help analyze it.”

Xu Jiuyang clicked his tongue, momentarily at a loss for words. The reason why the clumsy method is clumsy is that it is effective but time-consuming. In other words, it is to achieve a qualitative change by accumulating quantitative changes.

However... how should I put it? In theory, all quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes after reaching a certain level, but there is a difference between needing 100 quantitative changes and needing 1000 quantitative changes.

At least, as someone who's been there, he believes that for a new actor, practicing alone in an empty room and then performing a good enough scene is almost impossible without thousands of takes, and all of these must be effective practice sessions.

So either Da Tian Tian's talent has been discovered, or she has hired an extremely talented teacher; it's impossible that she saw the answers in advance.

"Alright, I'm going to the set of 'The Grandmaster' next. I probably won't be able to come over until 'File 404' starts filming." Xu Jiuyang said, ignoring the other questions.

"Why?" Da Tiantian asked, puzzled.

"That's the reason." Xu Jiuyang stretched out his finger and gently tapped the tip of her nose.

"Huh?" Da Tiantian was even more confused.

"You're too close to me." Xu Jiuyang didn't play the riddle game. "Do you remember what my character's backstory is?"

"Hmm...hmm...rigid, serious, not good at speaking, has...mild social anxiety, and prioritizes the mission above all else," Jing Tian recalled.

"So what about your role?" Xu Jiuyang continued to ask.

"Innocent and curious, enthusiastic and lively, and because she comes from the city and is only going to the army for training, she unconsciously carries a sense of pride." Jing Tian answered quickly this time.

"Very well, so do you think your emotions towards me just now are consistent with the female lead's emotions towards the male lead?" Xu Jiuyang asked again.

Da Tiantian paused for a few seconds, then quickly defended herself, saying, "I can..."

However, Xu Jiuyang didn't give her a chance and directly raised his hand to make a pause gesture: "Tian Tian, ​​you have to understand that no matter how talented you are, you are still a new actor. And the most important thing for a new actor is to use the greatest effort to interpret their first role."

"Oh..." Jing Tian responded, but her reluctance was very obvious.

This is clearly not acceptable. If she is resistant in her heart, even if she agrees verbally, she will be slow and indecisive in carrying it out, which is not what he wants to see.

So, Xu Jiuyang softened his tone and asked, "Tian Tian, ​​why are you making movies?"

“Of course it is…” Da Tiantian almost blurted out, but she reacted in time, quickly turned her head away and coughed, then turned back and said in a serious tone, “Of course it is to become a big star with excellent acting skills.”

Although he knew what she was hiding, Xu Jiuyang still went along with it: "So, what kind of beginning do you think your path should have?"

Jing Tian pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and maintained her serious expression: "I understand, Brother Yang. From today onwards, I will keep my distance from you and try my best to cultivate the emotions of the female lead until we meet again on the set of 'File 404'."

"Don't worry, it won't be long." Xu Jiuyang reached out and patted her head. "Well then, good luck, Tian Tian."

"Mmm!" Jing Tian nodded vigorously, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but in the end she didn't lean in to kiss him like before. After saying "Goodbye," she left the conference room. Only after getting into the car did the girl's tense face relax, and then she looked at the street scene outside and sighed silently.

It's all their fault! Da Tiantian snorted inwardly. If it weren't for those women, how could Brother Yang have rejected her so directly!

However, there's nothing she can do now. She's fallen too far behind. Who knew that some of them had the system so early on, catching her off guard. Now she doesn't even know how to make up for it.

"Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson!" Jing Tian muttered, still somewhat dejected.

Since learning that heaven had not only favored her but that many others also had simulation systems, she had not refrained from trying to stand out at home and had indeed received some preferential resources. For example, she had the final say in everything at Starlight Brilliance.

But compared to them, even Yang Mi, the weakest among them, is far inferior.

Of course, if necessary, she can still use the power to crush them, but this kind of move is like a nuclear weapon; its deterrent effect is greatest when it is not used.

But that's not even the most infuriating part.

"Excuse my bluntness, Little Tian Tian, ​​your mental age is at least three years younger than your actual age." That's what the American woman said to her when she invested in "Bureau 749"—no, I mean "File 404."

If there hadn't been so many people around, Da Tian Tian would have loved to jump up and hit her long legs: You're the one whose mental age is younger than her actual age!
Even though she knew that some of her actions were indeed a bit childish, she would never admit it.

Logically speaking, Da Tian Tian should have retaliated against such provocative teasing, but unfortunately, while the teasing was lighthearted, it also helped her a lot.

Putting aside Six Degrees Music and that ancient-style album, this time they not only invested in "File 404", but also sent professional personnel to assemble the production team.

Unfortunately, Starlight Brilliant is still just an empty shell; calling it a makeshift operation would be an understatement.

Wanda is better, but only slightly better. If you don't want to be scammed by some unscrupulous people in the film and television industry, these professional personnel are very important.

Da Tian Tian originally didn't want them to get involved. Starlight Brilliant was a bit of a makeshift setup, but she had a cheat code. Given enough time, she might be able to build a team herself.

However, on the one hand, the housekeeper Lu unusually expressed her opposition, and Wanda also shared this attitude; on the other hand, they arranged the manpower through Brother Yang, so it was clear that he was surrounded by their people.

In this situation, Da Tian Tian could only accept it helplessly, and then curled up in bed biting her handkerchief.

"It's okay, I have an advantage. I need to stay calm and find a way to leverage my strengths!" the girl tried to reassure herself.

She knew where her advantage lay: her feelings for Yang Gege. They might have those feelings too, but they weren't pure.

Although she didn't know why things were this way, it didn't stop Da Tian Tian from showcasing this advantage. No one else would cherish Yang Gege like she did.

Although he was a little unhappy about being surrounded by all sorts of women, especially after today's meeting where Dong Qing was clearly the kind of woman who was entangled with his Yang brother, it wasn't his fault; it was all their fault!
Think about that album with the ancient Chinese style, which made her an instant sensation and a representative singer of ancient Chinese style songs, far better than the music albums she initially imitated.

Similarly, even though "File 404" hadn't started filming yet, she already knew from simulations that the film was being well-received, far better than the initial films she had simulated.

So he does have feelings for me!
